No
those drives are fine for game storage, where writes are uncommon
nah, a good 512gb ssd is the way to go
how is the mx500 or helix l not acceptable for a boot drive
mx500 even has the dram you are so keen to mention
dram makes a difference, write endurance makes a difference
helix l has same rated write endurance as 970 evo
How about this
obviously 970 evo will do more
only vintage has given any real evidence to the contrary
I still can't understand why you think either drive would not be acceptable for a boot drive
If you drop down to the 500gb tier in the US nvme drives are actually cheaper than sata drives
so after all this your only suggestion is to get a smaller ssd
good advice.....
anyway good speaking to you im out
Nah
What happened here...
interesting
That thing is huge, gotta watch ram overhang
I have trident z ram
Neo is tall ram
Trident z RGB/Neo/Regular are all the same size
What would be a good cooling alternative
Oh yeah buddy
I’m getting it overclocked big time
I’m trying to beat a friend
aio 😇
In a competition
https://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Rev-CPU-Cooler-Support/dp/B06ZYB8K77 if you can find one
Or an AIO
OR
a Noctua if you want to spend the money
NH12 or 14
I was hoping for it to be in the same price range
u can buy just coolermaster ml240 rgb about 60-70 bucks
Is it good
I using it on my 3600 and its pretty cool . i not overclocking btw
Hideous
I’m overclocking like a lot
cooling though
to me , water cooling is better than air in any way
I disagree
@muted patio is that be quiet or the aio better performance
The aio war pig sent
It’s an asetek design most likely
Cooling wise
ye
https://www.newegg.com/corsair-icue-h100i-rgb-pro-xt-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835181190 this one is pretty cool on my 9700k too
Corsair aio bad for performance
To price
its little expensive yea but i got it on deal much cheaper xd
it keeping my 9700k at 50-55c under load
again no overclock xd
Why no overclock
idk i just cringe about overclock lol
It's fine if you don't overdo it
Overclocking is so fun
And I’m probably overdoing it
Almost definitely am
actually i don't need it tho . 9700k is pretty much for my work on clock speed too
agreed xd I had tried it
@muted patio this gotta be better than wraith spiral at least right lol
omg lol
Dude I got 4.45 GHZ on wraith spiral @little osprey
Don’t underestimate 
i built with it first while waiting another cooler arrives and it was 60-70c under 20-30% load lol
Mines not like that
then got coolermaster t400pro air cooler it made much cool but its too loud and not enough
Mine runs WAYY cooler than that
Also I use noctua NT H1 tp
my case fans are not good its stock case fan xd
Lol
but ofc aio did better job . it keeping 50-60c under heavy load
I’m at 1.35 volt rn
Probably the PEAK of supposedly safe voltages
yes its peak for 3600 ig
Will still get degraded most likely
Hopefully not
Not noticeably at least
Yo does anyone have a really good pc build for 1.2k?
maybe i5 10400 with 3060 ti 🤔
The verge
th rests of my parts should come today : )
m.2 drive heatsink
it was on top of the M.2 area btw
goes on drive
Could I use it for my SX8100?
gets up to 70 degrees according to drive wizard
yes
should fit any m.2 of that size
some mobos also comes with intregated heatsinks for m.2
ping me if yall need anything
came with X570 TUF
nice.
So the meshify c case, can it support double fans, like one on the inside and one on the outside in the same area
Why would you do that?
Supreme airflow
It's like putting a wall in front of a fan that close together
There needs to be some distance between them
Not really
But supreme airflow
It's not going to turbocharge the air or increase the flow or anything
That’s what I thought it would do
Lol
Nah, it just creates a vortex of air gap between the two resulting in negative pressures which in turn end up lessening the effects of both
NT H2 is really good paste right
Thermal grizzly kryonaut is better
By how much
How to quantify that.....
Also I don’t get as many uses out of it
How many Celsius cooler on average on identical processors
Your talking a couple of c max
Its one of those preference thingies. Personally been using arctic silver 5 for years and never had any faults with it.
I mean you could lap the heatsink and cpu for optimal results but who the hell wants to do all that noise.
Even better delid it and use liquid metal
I use mx4
lol
Works fine and is a good price
Ikr hahaha
Yeah mx4 isn't exactly premium
Yeah for the little extra i personally would go with something better
Yeah idk
but it is non metallic so folks that get skurred of possibly putting on too much don't have to worry as much
That's true
Yeah I'm not afraid of that
Just as long as you aren't using that horrid thermaltake crud.
Lol
Stuff turned into an insulator on me 2 years into a run.
Had to clean everything with q tips and 90% and was at it for a good 30 minutes.
How good is Corsair TXM50
you mean XTM50?
Yes
Dunno, never used it.
Yes
a 1g tube will do like 5 CDT cpus
CDT?
3600 that kinda stuff?
yeah
it would take like double the amount for those ones tho
Yeah you'd end up doing less but didn't say coverage would be the same, just that it would work.
Then again how many people are using dual and tri cpu boards hehe
i used to lmao
Ok guys, 3.5 grams of NT H2 for $15 or 1 gram of kryonaught for $10
Whatcha covering?
3600
Then it won't matter, go by your preference. If you don't want to have gobs of it around sitting in a tube for a while the 1 gram.
Even then you'd still have 3/4s of the tube sitting around heh
Ok
I think I’ll go with noctua
Oh wait
UGH I’m so conflicted
Somebody choose for me
The inherit performance benefits of the NVME storage protocol well outweigh the performance loss of losing the dedicated dram cache.
This is why dramless NVME drives outperform sata drives equipped with a dedicated dram cache.
Even drives without a complete dram cache substitute like the WD SN550 are remarkably solid.
We have the SRAM and SLC cache available to split mapping table data, and utilize as our read/wrte buffer
I'm still there
lol
friends invited me
im not reviving this dead convo, everything is relative to use case
Did you not say that they were unsuitable as boot drives?
Don’t argue with sassy he is genius
fun e

is the 1660 a good upgrade from a 1050ti
its a little more complicated than that
Also losing the dram cache doesn't put a significant hit on endurance...especially when our mapping table data is being stored on HMB..
also because i dont have time to type paragraphs to people who dont really care
Is this bad? It says my computer is running below average
I mean if you're going to tell people that drives aren't suitable when they are completely fine you should have a reason to back it up.
Ah i see you found him
performance of a cpu is relative to the rest of the system, 33rd percentile is fine
The spreader of storage misinformation
Ok ty
33% of people have better components surrounding their 9700f, such as faster ram
Ah
Well i just got the best thst was supported i didnt spend a bunch on uncessearry ram
🤦
also, the userbenchmark benchmark, like most benchmarks, cant be super precise, and is effected by many other software based variables
And if you are using a pre sata drive or not lol
Ok thanks
np
Ugh to drive to maryland tomorrow and quarratine for 10 to 14 days for a video card or not to......
also what is wrong with smi controllers ❓
My cooler master MB311l case didn’t come with fan connectors so my fans will light up but not spin I’m confused
are there separate plugs on the fans?
There are none to connect to the mobile
some fans have power plugs that disconnect from the fans
But nothing came apart in the box
my friend is having issues with his laptop, it powers on and gets to the lenovo loading/boot screen but doesnt boot into windows
isthis a hard drive failure?
I'm unsure you are the one who mentioned that the helix-L and mx500 use SMI controllers.
And considering the context of the conversation was you describing them as bad drives.
So I imagine you think there's something wrong with SMI controllers?
in context, yes, they were bad drives, without context, they have their specific use cases
nope, i dont think so?
thanks for clarifying.
np
And in what context are those drives bad?
can anyone help me with an internet question
In their $90-95 price-point they dominate.
idk if this is the place to post
Once we go above $100 the mushkin pilot E which is a 2262en based drive
is the best
Thermal grizzly it is
Phison E12 drive
Yo I just finished my built but my vengance pro isnt lighting up, is there any problem or na?
Quick question
What’s the best way to get intervener to my pc
From a coaxial cable
Well yeah there’s a problem, it’s not lighting up
Because my mobo wouldn’t have a coax input right

dominate in? very fast secondary storage? yes
good for local high res video editing
Why is it a problem for primary storage?
@little osprey yee
And no in the $90-95 area you aren't going to find much better than dramless phison E13T and SMI 2263XT drives.
if anyone can help me with internet could you go to #electronics 😄 ty ty
Sooo how do i fix the lighting problem??
because i wouldnt use a dramless ssd for primary storage, and no one needs more than 512gb for primary storage
Why wouldn't you use a dramless ssd for primary storage?
because windows
How does that have anything to do with that.
Primary storage as in the primary storage drive
Primary long term storage can be any drive
dramless or not, ssd or not
i mean primary as in primary boot drive
I have no idea why you think that a primary drive needs to have a dedicated dram cache.
Especially when a dedicated dram cache is one fraction of an SSD's attributes.
dramless drives die off as the flash tires out quicker
because its costs very little to impliment
No, not really.
any decent ssd i would trust to hold my windows os would have dram anyway
Not really in what way
Where yall coming from? Awful lot of people beating the same horse.
If we're referring to NVME drives there are a few ways around it.
How would not having a dedicated dram cache wear the nand more?
If we aren't using HMB to store the mapping table data it might put more wear on the SLC cache?
dram cache allows you to do wear-leveling
HMB is the cheap way out. DRAM isnt that much more expensive
I don't think HMB allows you to do that yet
Nope, the SSD controller and firmware dictates wear leveling.
Not the dedicated dram cache.
An SSD without wear levelling would fail too shortly 😎
It's about $20 more to get a tier up from these drives when they are $90
The dedicated dram cache doesn't have much to do with wear levelling outside of the SLC cache wearing, but the SLC cache is already resilient enough that it isn't an issue.
One of the big sources for this "no dram bad" scare is the techquickie video, but it doesn't take into account that SSD controllers also have integrated sram caches.
Even if we aren't using HMB to store the mapping table data (Which levitates wear on the SLC cache) we can split the mapping table between the SLC cache and the SRAM cache, and once again the SLC cache isn't going to die shortly because it's doing more work.
Just posted my build this year(late) in Build pics.
So...HMB is bad because it's cheaper?
no, because on average it costs nothing to get a drive with dram
Sure having a dedicated dram cache is better if we're using the exact same controller without dram compared to the exact same controller with dram
The drives with dram in the price range of these drives often perform worse than the drive without dram.
The mushkin helix-L outperforms the crucial P1 by a fair margin
also you have to keep context in mind, the use case of the drive
Even though the P1 has dram and the EN optimized firmware.
i wouldnt use the P1 either lmao
Yep, and for most consumers who aren't doing a professional workload the dramless drives are completely fine as a primary drive, with no noticeable downsides.
Saying that the helix-L is bad as a primary drive is just silly
i would rather have someone invest in a higher quality drive with good write endurance for their windows os
no dram is okay but dramless drives dont exist in a vacuum
You keep implying that the lack of the dram cache hits write endurance significantly harder than it actually does.
there are no high end dramless drives
its bad, only because other drives exist and are better options
yeah, it will work
What's a better option in the same price range as a $90 mushkin helix-L? Your better options cost more.
lol smi 2268XT moment
there are no midrange dramless drives
nope, because i only suggest 512gb ssds
He's saying that these drives are unsuitable as primary storage.
Why, you get worse price/gigabyte?
theyre passable
It literally isn't.
well, it was
SATA dramless drives are more poo poo for OS drives, secondary drives they are at the most meh.
recently, yes, price per gb has gotten better on TB ssds, but its still more money for ssd most people wont use
id say the average user wouldnt notice, but I would also advise them to pay a bit more for a higher quality product
You think people only using 500gb of storage?
I'm unsure how quality applies to this, it's more of a "higher performance" product than a higher quality one.
Just one advise . always back up your files . every drive can fail .
nope, more like 128gb. most people dont use more than that for the things that require ssd
more useful features = higher quality product
I see you have not experienced the QOL of full solid state storage.
I mean...is a dedicated dram cache really a useful feature for most epic gamers?
i have, its the same as my 5.4TB HDD raid array
id say so
🤷♂️
I'd disagree, if we're talking about noticeable performance.
could not tell you the difference between my games on PCIe ssd and my HDDs
And the endurance hit isn't an issue on these drives, especially for our average consumer
That's great but there is a difference, and it's been documented.
And it varies game to game.
id say you shouldnt cheap out on storage in general
ahh, yes, im gonna tell people to spend a ton of money on ssd storage when they only have a 800 dollar budget
That's not what I said at all.
then we have nothing to talk about
And with $90 1tb SSD's I mean...you can have a lot of solid state storage for games.
That's literally the point
And at an affordable pricepoint.
More expensive=/=better
I mean with SSD's sort of
p31 gold costs less than 970 evo though rn 😎
I'm not, he said that the helix-L is unsuitable as a primary OS drive.
its a lower tier ssd
it will function as an os drive
id never point someone to it
this is relative
Can you provide an actual penance for buying one of these drives?
when the mp34 performs better and is like $10 more
Is the MP34 $100?
105 or so
If the MP34 or pilot-E were $100 they'd be recommendable over the helix-L
For regular users.
lol my hdd failed while this topic going xd
lmaoooooo the mp34 just got slammed by tariffs i think
For $15 more? yea sure
wegg has it for 150 now 
MP34 is what, phison e12?
Mp34 is $110, aswell as the pilot E, so it's $20 above the helix-L today
I'd look into spending $20 on something else in the list before upgrading to the pilot-E or MP34 unless the person has outlined a workload that would benefit from the extra performance.
Otherwise it'll be $20 for nothing.
for me wd is still best xd
Same useable lifespan for the user, and same tangible performance
No shade to the MP34 or the pilot-E they are still both great drives.
how WD implemented HMB on the sn550 is quite interesting
even though WD says the drive doesn't use HMB newmaxx provided evidence showing that it uses HMB as a victim cache to avoid cache misses from sram
I using sn750 500gb as primary and sn550 as 2nd and they both perform just good
🤷 both are good drives in their own respectable area
Is it worth it to put a fan under my Gpu
if u have good air flow in case it dont need much
but yeah it helps
How would I mount it
@hollow grail im sorry if i disturbed . when I turn my pc on my hdd had weird noise and I turned pc off . it was like it trying to spin up but couldn't . is it dead already ?
id run a SMART test on it
is it safe to run it again ?
Uh
What other choice do you have
Just never use your pc again?

oh lol I think I backed it up but may i have important files to recover xd
I can run pc without it and check all my important files backes up or not 🤔
My case has a sata connector running out of it and I dont see anywhere to plug it in. Where does it go?
All of the sata ports I can see on my motherboard are a lot smaller than the connector from my case
uhm
what would a case need a sata connector for?
maybe its another type of connector
usb 3 maybe?
can you show us the connector ?
It says sata on the connector and I already plugged in the usb3
show it better
case could have an eSATA port on the front
not many do, but ive seen it before
also, the new 3.2 gen 2 usb header is about the same size as a sata plug
oh this is sata power 🤔
Camera kinda sucks but that's it
is it goes from psu ?
it needs to be coming from psu and connect to hard drive or ssd
No its definately coming from the case
I have no idea why case have this kinda plug . this is only for drive
as sassyfish said maybe its esata
prolly rgb
isn't it should be molex if its powering something ? 🤔
looks like rgb
I agree with it molex really sucks XD but how you can connect this 😂
i have nam flashbacks from molex to sata catching on fire
I using molex to sata always and no any problem 🤔
Is this just a general risk? Or is it because of low quality adapters.
would assume the later
Molex can push more power than sata so i imagine its a quality issue
corrected power to quality*
lmao
😂
yeah molex adapters are often just rly badly made
I might look into shucking one of those external HDD's that come with an exos, are there any adapters out there that are properly good?
So do I just leave it there?
my friend had gpu with 2x 6pin but he had just 1 6+2pin so he used one 6pin and one molex to 6pin and it worked xd
yeah thats a fire hazard
only risk is drawing too much current through the molex cable if the adapter quality is decent
when the gpu goes to draw current through the power cables it thinks are adequate
poof
depends on the graphics card i suppose
yeah
5700xt is roughly a 225 watt maximum card and often comes in 6+2+6 configuration, we can get 75 from the slot, 150 from one, so one capable being molex i doubt would be a big issue
just plug it in
but i just guessed its a 5700xt 😎
Where tho
only amd graphics card users would resort to such means
damn, really took that low hanging fruit lmao
I dont see anywhere to plug it in

sata connector on psu
I know but that gpu had 2x 6pin (gigabyte
) its too much for gtx 98p xd
I dont see anywhere where it would fit
do you have a sata ssd or hdd?
No I'm using nvme
on your power supply there are connectors to power those
they are somewhat wide
and thin similar to a sata connector
except if you have it modular then you gota find em first xP
xd
Oh they arent directly on the psu
Ok so I gotta find the cable that will fit it
yea
now looking for new hdd xd
did you fill the rest of your storage up?
my drive just failed
thats a lucky one
I always backing up
and I always recommend to everyone to back up ur files . every drive can fail
yea. best to have one that can stay out of use with data for a long time
Can someone tell me if I need anything
honestly i got to organise my drive too
power supply is complete junk
@lavish pagoda u can add more high sped ram
theres so many bad reviews about smart series but i have thermaltake toughpower 750w rgb modular and works good
The toughpower RGB and thermaltake smart 80+ white are completely different power supplies.
The thermaltake smart 80+ uses group regulation so it's already a bust for most modern builds.
Unless it's an IGPU system that's sipping power and you dont care about the lifespan of your storage, stay away from group regulated power supplies.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pwm9y4 made some changes
unsure about psu tho, iirc it has a good enough transient response to keep up with most ampere cards, but if not lmk
he had 10700k but u have 10600k 🤔
2 extra cores for like 100 dollars isnt worth it imo
hardly a difference in single core perf
oh got it
hmm still id pick 10700k 
yeah, but for gaming its simply not worth it
yeah
to be fair im running a 10920x, but thats just me lmao
9700k does the trick
8 solid cores, dont need much more than that for a solid gaming experience
yeah its perfect game performance and works well
Could I run rust on this build ?
totally
rust runs on my friends 8700k and 1060
no problem for a 10600k and 3060ti, its gonna shred that game
rust isnt hard to rujn
yeah lol
yeah on 1080p monitor ull kill it
this could run all modern games, andalmost all of em on max settings
it would on 4k too
he picked 1080p 240hz on system
ah
but idk about 3060s 4k performance
it would run 120-144 probablyy
10600k gonna run most well optimized games at 240+fps
the real question is the 3060ti frametimes
yeah 10600k have close game performance with 9700k
5800x and 3060ti on 4k ultra
4k low with that config is 160
1080p ultra withj that config is 120fps
1080p low with that config is almost 220-230fps

yea
thanks 😇
it means it's tasty
@viral ore couldn't he do a 10400f or 3600 with a 3070?
or at that point just do a 5600x because it comes with cooler
5600x isnt really an option bc availability
10600k better at gaming than both 10400f and 3600, that single core perf important for 240hz
graphics quality can change, cpu frametimes cannot
So i'm redoing a Pc is upgrading from a i5-3570 to a i3-10100F OR I3-9100f worth it?
yes
10100F is roughly 10% faster, so that's a maybe
Same for the 9100F
Say maybe 8-10% faster
but 10100f is hyper threaded tho
True
10100f is comparable to the 7700k
Hard to find exact benchmarks comparing them
I'd go 10100 just for the socket 1200 and future upgrades
- the DDR4 boost
also 11th gen aswell
Yup
though you can get 10400f for 40-50 buckos more
unless you live in another country
or have a very tight budget
Quick question for anyone who could offer help, I've had a PC with the following specs:
Mobo: ASRock X570M Pro4
Cpu: Ryzen 7 3700x
Gpu: EVGA 2060 KO ULTRA
PSU: EVGA 750W GT 80 gold
Ram: Hyper X Fury 8GB 3200mhz X 2
Last night while gaming my pc randomly turned off and began turning back on without showing bios and continued doing this. I shut it off. Between me and a pal we deduced that it's either bad PSU or Mobo died. I've built this PC in October, it's on a battery backup with surge protection. What could it be?
I've tried checking the CMOS battery. and won't have access to test the PSU til tommorow morning. The mobo makes no beeps.
Bypass the UPS, plug directly into wall
Tried that, continued the ( what I assume is a boot loop) boot loop
no motherboard lights?
CPU and DRAM always light up. Tried booting it without the GPU nothing changed either. The last two remaining lights never come on before the loop.
I'd have to get back to you on that then, I'll have to reassemble then test. For now I'm probably gonna go checkout my psu tommorow and test it.
Thank you for the advice. I'll probably be back here tommorow if it's not the PSU and test what you said. The last thing I tried before I took it apart was switch the dram from a2 to b2 and b2 to a2. Haven't tried booting it up without the ram
Yeah, I doubt it's the PSU
I would say CPU or motherboard
if you're getting those lights
Anyone else having rtx 3070 pc restarting issues during gaming only? 750W PSU
power supply issue most likely
750?
Rtx 3070 ASUS TUF gaming, what should I use to see if I’m not having enough power? Drivers are up to date
GPU-Z
It's a program
Run that, and then run unigine Heaven benchmark
Check the voltage sag on the PCI-E line
What’s the proper voltage?
Should stay close to 12 volts
if it drops below 11.2 or 11, not enough power
However
Is this a brand new biuld or did you have an old GPU in there?
I’m currently resetting my pc to clean slate to make sure I don’t have any old drivers
Ah
I had an old GT720 in it
DDU is a great program for that
Display Driver Uninstaller
Wipes the driver so you can install fresh
Tried that still crashed so I figured so I should start all over
In forums people are crashing even with 1000 PSU
Grab GPU-Z and check the voltage
Well, not every 750W PSU is the same
some are garbage
some are good
G3 evga gold
I’ll try the voltage test when it boots up, anything else I should try?
the G3 is p good
It is
Hmmm
Are you running 1 or 2 PCI-E power cables?
Are you daisy chaining one cable?
Or running two separate cables?
2 separate 6+2 cables
SHould be fine then
I was using Y chain but I switched over
Anything in the Event Viewer?
Critical Events indicating a driver fault or BSOD code?
What event viewer?
Windows Search - Event Viewer
On the left, Windows Logs, then System
On the right, Filter Current Log, then check ERROR and CRITICAL
Ah well the pc is resetting now so it would be blank
Because just the simple reinstall, my drivers were still updated so I was worried any old corrupted files may still be there
Will there be 2 voltage sensors or 1?
one for each PCI-E plug and the PCI-E slot
If the voltage is dipping below 12, that means the 750 isn’t enough?
Well, below 11.2 or so
It's going to dip a little bit
Ideally it should be 12 V all the time like this screenshot
when i install my aio
is sys_fan5_pump my aio pump plug in thingo
wot i should say is do i plug in my pump connector there
and what is cpu_opt
and cpu_fan im assuming is for my aio fans
Is the 9600k still a good chip when overclocked
I would say yes, it should be able to get 5ghz
Is the Corsair 280x a good case
do not buy the 9600k
9th gen intel is not worth it in the slightest
eh
theres no upgrade path
and they have pretty bad multithread performance
the 9900K is matched and surpassed by the 5600X in every aspect
yeah but if you are gaming only, 9th gen is fine
aslong if you find for a good price tho
not really
10th gen has replaced it
and zen 2/zen 3
there isnt really a reason to buy it
if you're just gaming, it would be better to buy an i3-10100f over an i5-9400f
sure but like
9700k was seen on microcenter for 200$ bucks tho
but eh
11th gen coming in few months
so 10th gen might have a decrease in value
would much rather get a 10400F
overclocking isnt going to save it from a lack of SMT and a dead platform
Yes but going for a 9700k requires a z390 motherboard and adequate cooling to support the overclock
And z390 then has no real upgrade path apart from to 9900k
Anyone know how good the rosewill 240mm aio is?
bro..
does anyone have this problem
my applications keep pixelating
desktop too
sometimes
is it like a gpu problem or ram problem
gpu
have you tried a different display
rip lmao
yea
or cable
i set my gpu to default clock
hoping its cable
display cable
ohh
hmm
ye, cable can cause artifact
my loose cable caused my monitor screen to turn yellowish
ok i unplugged it
and replugged it in
oh
god
it works
thx
nice.
hmm the problem is
the dp cable is just too bent
i straightened it and it works fine
lmao my brain is massive
the 9700k 4.9GHZ barely ends up beating a 10400 with max turbo
https://tpucdn.com/review/intel-core-i5-10400f/images/relative-performance-games-1920-1080.png
Also 9700k has REALLY bad frametime consistency, (picture below compares it with a 10600k just for a general idea)
also 9700k is majorly on a dead platform
all those factors combined, even with the 9700k being for 200 usd make it Irrelevant
since the 10400 retails for 155-170 nowadays
also 9700k was pointless in the first place since it was like a 0.5% increase over the 8700k
but muh 9900k!!!!!11!!!11!!!!!111111!!

i love how some ppl here are like "yeah lock urself into this dead socket"

"itll be great when u need to buy a new cpu and a new board"
I completed a full pc reset and windows 10 install but my GPU drivers are still up to date?
if you just reset the pc from windows it barely does anything
just reinstalls os and nukes files
drivers will generally stick around
as in reinstall using USB with windows 10 install?
instead of resetting through the windows reset option?
I went to recovery -> reset pc - > remove everything -> local reinstall (took all night)
yeah thats not actually resetting the pc
entirely
youd need a windows install usb if u wanted to nuke everything
how easy is it to move info from my laptop with the SSD soldered to the board over to my new modular laptop
i can help in dm 
I have the windows 10 on a usb, how do I nuke it? pressing a button when restarting pc or is there an easier way?
i already have a folder saved for everything I want to move, and this laptop is going to be used by someone else as well
boot to the usb, delete all partitions/format the drive
so dont think you are going to be tearing it apart
or just clean install it yeah
there are some drivers i dont want to take the time to install
snappy driver installer
i have a USB with windows right here though
uwu
is this a good way? recovery -> adv startup
yes
you go to your bios boot menu
and then
you select the usb
my motherboard driver updates would not be affected right?
what are you trying to do
my laptop doesnt have a bios I can boot into 😛
...
Hewlett Packard office laptops baybee
wipe everything except motherboard updates (motherboard will not boot up with ryzen 5600x) so I can have a clean slate on figuring out why my rtx 3070 keeps on crashing with 750 PSU
Still normally it’s a default lock
you mean bios updates?
resetting the OS does not affect the bios in any way
its the farthest thing from modular. Literally everything is soldered to the board and I can't boot into bios. changing it out for a Nitro 5 in a few days.
the bios should be handled by the mobo
Yeah modularity makes sense but there should still be a bios. Not a good one that’ll help with anything but still.
there literally isnt
it immediately boots into windows
no prompt, no key that i can press
trust me i have tried
probably one made by HP
Hold down shift, restart go to the power options and try to see if next to cmd there’s an option to boot into bios
Proprietary
im telling you i looked already lmao
hmm... you could probably look it up on some hp forums even though that hp mobo seems a bit archaic by now
im not tech illiterate
lol
I literally help here, in this chat, every day
my name is the build lady for god's sake
you literally cant have a computer without the bios
There is no way to not have a bios my friend
you literally cant have a computer without the bios
The computer wouldn’t function, the question is how do we get to it
wegg doesnt like those kinds of links
HP is usually F10
esc
We’re not trying to attack you were a bunch of nerds who want to see who can help.
look
ill try again later and record it
after school
but i cant right now
because school
not like there is anything I want to do in the bios anyways
i mean the bios is pretty useful though
i mean
its good to have it just for future cases
lol
i know i disable bios on most of my endpoints

at least access to it
Resetting windows won’t help, however you could try bios recovery.
This is my first pc I have a question are all the mouse cursors in bios feel like 30 fps
Or is it just msi
yea lol
Ok lol
Some are much worse
usually normal. You have your monitor plugged into your graphics card or motherboard?
Just use the arrows and enter, learn the way of the sith
Plugged into gpu
my bios for my msi b450 literally goes at 3 frames a second
nah bios isnt rly made to have gamer 144hz mouse movement lol
Yea facts
i know but it could be the reason for 30fps and not sixty
my bios goes at 60
i know that
does it really matter though?
the only thing that should matter is that the bios works, right?

quicker than arrow keys tbh
❤️ my dell bios
literal god tier bios design
never seen a better one
true
It doesn't matter lol I'm just there for cranking my fans up while gaming and putting them down while doing school work
Yeah but if they don’t have on chip graphics it wouldn’t even matter
if bios wasnt designed by monke then itll be faster with arrow keys
More power
but they could and thats why im asking
Asus BIOS be like:
nah they have good bios tho
especially tuf boards
beautiful looking at least
It's fine I was just asking if my bios had something wrong with it
yeah ur all good @urban trellis
nice and simple
Am I hitting power limits?
maybe #graphics-cards too
oh okay
just cast a wider net :))
why does every 10th person in this server have a pfp that looks like Padoru
Oh yea and I have another questio is there a way I could put my system fans speed up and cpu fan speed up without going into bios
even ghosty and ID for the longest time
not any good ways
speedfan
but that is mildly hard software to use
that too
I have Corsair
And amd stock
set up fan curve in bios
Ok
just google and mess with it for like 30 mins
you can crank GPU fans up from drivers usually but not much else
and youll never have to worry abt it again
@wanton cliff I have msi afterburner
idk why you would want to automatically turn fan speed up unless your fans arent working
they go up on their own
I was just asking
is that for overclocking or do you have an MSI GPU?
I don't have msi gpu
afterburner also lets u make fan curve babe
me barely able to hit 90 on a good day:
nice
massive pog
Lol
i would benchmark my computer with fortnite if i had it installed lol
lol
wait how are you getting 100-240fps on a 1660ti while im only getting 90 fps on a better card
damn amd drivers
Hold up
Lol
-100 fps
lmfao
I play low settings
[EXPLETIVE DELETED] you lili
do it coward
I play ultra so that makes sense
amd is fine imo
unless u do anything besides treat your pc like a toy
fps more important than looks
im a graphics whore, what can I say?
if you have excessive fps then make it look better
cuda is fantastic
if not
I play competitive fortnite so I play on lower settings
i used to have an rx 570 and it was very servicable
then keep it low settings
for gaming sure
for productivity not even close
true
i mean it could run hl: a 60 fps with low fidelity so theres that
i can barely get 45 in a small area
because thats all they focus on
5700xt
@wanton cliff do u have a high refresh rate monitor if u do get tha f*ck off ultra settings
she better
hey
or ill cry
no swore
if sara doesnt have at least 144hz ill be upset
