[fossil halo]

its not a deal tho

its stupidity

wait tryu

[hollow grail]

look at price then look at specs agsin

[muted patio]

ZTake out that card in the bottom too

[fossil halo]

pushing ur ram

all the way in

[earnest olive]

@hollow grail that has to be a pricing mistake

a prebuilt like that i expect at least 6k lol

there are 3090s selling for that much

[hollow grail]

yep

might as well grab asap

[earnest olive]

i don't have an option to buy

[hollow grail]

oh lmao they took it down

like just now

[earnest olive]

try unplugging power switch and just shorting the pins with screwdriver instead of trying to use the case attachment

i've had a pc not boot because the power switch was severed internally before

[ripe wedge]

so you take a rubber gripped screwdriver and touch the two power prongs

[earnest olive]

worked fine when shorting power switch pins

didn't work when pressing power switch

touch them with psu turned on

[ripe wedge]

turn psu on

[earnest olive]

if it works pc boots

[ripe wedge]

yeah

dead mobo prolly

[fossil halo]

ouch

dude

[muted patio]

Mobo or PSU

[fossil halo]

im almost sure ur 24 pin isnt in

it wasnt for me

[ripe wedge]

could do the paper clip test

on psu

[fossil halo]

bc u have to put in a lott of force

jeez it might be

that is scary

bc if its not that means dead something probably

[ripe wedge]

[earnest olive]

that looks in

[hollow grail]

dont evade filter

[fossil halo]

may get banned be careful

np

[hollow grail]

delet

ty

[fossil halo]

wait what psu did u get

that cost u

300$

[earnest olive]

i am watching

[ripe wedge]

he has 1000w evga supernova

[fossil halo]

wow

chill

delete

[earnest olive]

just stop

[fossil halo]

the mods here very annoying with swear

[ripe wedge]

we get it but still this is pg13 server

[fossil halo]

fr

[ripe wedge]

no cursing

say frick or heck here

lol

[hollow grail]

pg

no

[hollow grail]

13

[ripe wedge]

yeah hmm

cant tell colors

so hold on

let me find better vid to show

[fossil halo]

that is the 24 pin taht goes into motehrboard?

[ripe wedge]

check and see if ur psu came with a tester

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buPMx9dw0LU&ab_channel=TEAMEVGA

ah

[fossil halo]

rma psu

[ripe wedge]

what he did wrong was while connecting the paperclip he should have unplugged the psu

for safety

did you make sure it was the right pins?

[earnest olive]

have you plugged the power supply into the wall or a power strip

worth trying wall if you plugged it into power strip

some people report issues with power strips

it shouldn't prevent booting but it's worth a try

[fossil halo]

yea

wait is ur 8 pin plugged in right?

cpu 8 pin

jeez idk then

[earnest olive]

okay

yeah if psu test still does nothing while plugged into wall

then it's just dead psu

[jaunty stump]

theres a constant fast clicking noise coming from (i beleive) the back of my pc. Is there something hard with my HDD or PSU?

btw I have a PC O11D so thats why the psu is in the back

[earnest olive]

fast clicking noises can be hdd

are you doing anything that's using the hdd

completely normal for hdd to make clicking sounds when actively seeking

[jaunty stump]

ah okay thanks. I currently have windows on it, but will moving windows to my ssd help?

[ripe wedge]

or maybe a cable is touching a fan

[earnest olive]

yeah

if you have windows on the hdd then it'll be constantly in use

you should also

always have windows on ssd anyways

return the psu

[ripe wedge]

rma it

contact where u got it from

[wanton cliff]

oof chat gamers

hate when my PSU is broken

[fossil halo]

i feel like soemthing is wrong with his build tho

psu usually not faulty

[wanton cliff]

its not faulty, just DOA

one of the 24-pins is broken

[muted patio]

Are you SURE the switch on the back is on?

[wanton cliff]

looks like

[muted patio]

Flip it the other way and try

[earnest olive]

he said it was switched to "I"

so

[muted patio]

I know but

You never know

[earnest olive]

one time i had a customer who said he had the psu switched on but pc wouldn't boot

[muted patio]

if the PSU doesn't pwer on with paperclip

[earnest olive]

i asked for a picture

[muted patio]

It's not the motherboard

[earnest olive]

turns out he thought "O" stood for on

[muted patio]

oof

Are you SURE the socket you're plugged in to on the wall is good?

[earnest olive]

luckily pc booted fine

[muted patio]

Or that your power strip is ON

Ded then

Although, are you 100% sure you did the paperclip correctly?

Hard to do without colored wires

Mmmm....did you do the right side though?

With the right orientation?

Clip on top

Facing away from you

4th and 5th pins from the right

Did you watch t he video that was posted?

[ripe wedge]

ill send a better one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co2RizQ8U2k&ab_channel=GamersNexus

he shows it clearer

[earnest olive]

i wonder if you can cause a short by putting it in the wrong pins

👀

probably

[muted patio]

no

[ripe wedge]

but also not thats a 20 + 4 pin

[earnest olive]

no?

[muted patio]

PSU is ded until those pins are connected

[earnest olive]

ah okay

guess that's good for safety

just imagine putting the paper clip in the wrong pins and watching it melt

[ripe wedge]

[fossil halo]

Wait

[earnest olive]

that emote name lol

[fossil halo]

If the power cuts out

[hollow grail]

[fossil halo]

And my pc was running

[earnest olive]

i'm surprised that's actually from this server

[fossil halo]

Does it die

[earnest olive]

die as in shut off? yes

die as in permanent damage? not if you have a half decent psu

[fossil halo]

Ok

Should I press the power button just to be safw?

[earnest olive]

decent psus will be able to detect when power is no longer okay and shut off almost immediately

before it starts supplying bad power

[fossil halo]

I'll turn off my psu

[earnest olive]

you wouldn't need to turn off the psu or anything

it'll turn off by itself

[fossil halo]

I did tho is that bad

[earnest olive]

no

[fossil halo]

Oh ok

I have a seasonic s12III

650w

[earnest olive]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_good_signal

that is a very not decent power supply

[fossil halo]

I know it is

[earnest olive]

no OCP, UVP, or OVP

[fossil halo]

Which is why I'm spooked

[earnest olive]

that's terrifying

[fossil halo]

Shoot ok

I guess

I wait

For power to come back

[earnest olive]

i would never use a psu without UVP or OVP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csYUReEhtvQ "Wrong voltage is supplied to PIII motherboard"

evga has the best customer support hands down

so you're in good hands

[fossil halo]

Lmao

What about seasonic?

Kek

[earnest olive]

no clue

moments after launching microsoft flight simulator

[fossil halo]

Dude

There's wind outside

And power is not inside reeeeeeee

[hollow grail]

why u @ me

[earnest olive]

that's a lot of pings

[ripe wedge]

I mean

[earnest olive]

@hollow grail

[hollow grail]

people try to @ my child and @ me instead

[ripe wedge]

corsair rm850x would be a good replacement

[earnest olive]

evga makes some good units it's not a brand thing

just unlucky

[ripe wedge]

^^

usually

[hollow grail]

leadex iii when

otherwise u dumy

[ripe wedge]

id return the psu prolly and just go buy another

rma process takes too long

gotta ship it back, then u gotta wait for them to get it

then u get a new one or whatever

[hollow grail]

if u dont get leadex u did something wrong

[ripe wedge]

ah

then do it ig

[jaunty stump]

how do I wipe my pc? Im going to move windows to my ssd

[ripe wedge]

I mean either way you will have to wait unless u just return it and then go to a physical store and buy a psu

I mean

its a good psu but whats your parts

[earnest olive]

also how much does it cost

[ripe wedge]

you might be able to do a cheaper

yeah that too

[earnest olive]

you have a ryzen cpu, even if you have a 3090 a good 650w unit is enough, 750w is plenty

yeah you can absolutely do 650w

you don't need to splurge on a psu that costs as much as your cpu

if you don't mind the price you can go for it

if you plan on upgrading the system to higher end stuff later on then sure

return the mobo

xd

did you update the bios already btw?

there should still be signs of life without a bios update but it shouldn't successfully boot

your board has a bios flash button so you'll be fine

psu is still dead

i just wanted to mention

that you will need to flash bios

it's definitely psu

yes but not out of the box

i literally just said

b550 boards do not support ryzen 5000 out of the box

[hollow grail]

[earnest olive]

maybe some will but they are the exception and not the rule

the box says ryzen 3000 ready not ryzen 5000 ready

sigh

[muted patio]

5000 came out AFTER the motherboard

You're going to need a BIOS update before the CPU works

[hollow grail]

inb4 they got a pre updated one

[earnest olive]

that is literally taken from the amazon page

[hollow grail]

and you both look like idiots

[muted patio]

UNless it came from Microcenter or a prebuilt

It's not updated lol

Still, should power on

Would just have CPU light

[hollow grail]

i really hope it was pre updated

just to make u 2 look silly

[earnest olive]

my friend turned on psycho rt in cyberpunk with a 2070 super and surprisingly the fps is almost playable

[muted patio]

That doesn't mean it has the right BIOS

[earnest olive]

sigh

never mind

[muted patio]

Nah, we are

[earnest olive]

i'll just let him come back when he's asking why the cpu light is on and it won't boot

[muted patio]

Been doing this a long while lol

[earnest olive]

no point trying to force someone who won't listen to listen

doesn't have to be empty

[muted patio]

Gonna need a PSU first

Cross that bridge first.

[cunning sundial]

Just what I came to discuss 😆

Overkill or not?

[earnest olive]

overkill for what?

[muted patio]

Eh

[earnest olive]

3090 SLI? too weak

any single gpu system? yeah

[muted patio]

If you're getting a Leadex

[earnest olive]

the size of that psu might be a problem in a lot of cases

[muted patio]

nevermind lol, that's a good one

[earnest olive]

that's a 140mm fan

[cunning sundial]

I know I'm personally covered, I'm sitting on a corsair obsidian 500D

[hollow grail]

do it

[cunning sundial]

Damn lili, chill

[hollow grail]

nah

ur mom is exposed to u

stop

[wanton cliff]

who is ALSO exposed to it

[fossil halo]

just wait for ur quarantine to end

and then go

[wanton cliff]

[fossil halo]

SHE IS EXPOSED TO U LMAOOO

how do u know

[wanton cliff]

YOU MIGHT STILL HAVE IT ON YOU

[cunning sundial]

Unless you have a full body hazmat suit

[fossil halo]

wait wth

hold up

ur dumb ass is confusing me

[hollow grail]

just ban tbh

[fossil halo]

why are in a quarantine if u tested negative

idiot

[muted patio]

Exposure

[hollow grail]

because theyre probs under 18 and you can still carry it

[wanton cliff]

because he might still have it on his clothes and such

[hollow grail]

just cause u dont have it doesnt mean you arent a carrier

[muted patio]

nah, 2 week quarantine for exposure. Also, 1 negative test doesn't mean much. Need more than 1

[hollow grail]

yep

[fossil halo]

idk bro

just

wait 2 months

[hollow grail]

if youre exposed you stay home for 2 weeks

[fossil halo]

what are u even chatting on rn

u can stick with taht for 2 weeks

[muted patio]

This what the people say who end up in my wifes ICU

[hollow grail]

^^^^^^^^^^

[wanton cliff]

or my father's ICU for that matter

[hollow grail]

or my icu

[fossil halo]

then u can go roam the world with a mask on and 6 feet away from everyone

just

wait for 2 week quarantine to end

so simple

smh

[muted patio]

regardless, do whatever. Pls change subject. Err one.

[fossil halo]

yes

[wanton cliff]

false

[fossil halo]

LMAO I GIVE UP

[hollow grail]

none of you should be going out

I mean, depends on the PSU

[hollow grail]

they have been exposed to you

deliver

[wanton cliff]

delivery

[muted patio]

If it's form best buy, odds are won't be a good quality one

[hollow grail]

im making a build for a friend

what is a good ssd

like 1tb ssd

around 100$ preferrably

[earnest olive]

https://www.newegg.com/team-group-mp34-1tb/p/N82E16820331309

[fossil halo]

mhm

and also is crucial p1 good tho

[earnest olive]

not nearly as good

usable

[fossil halo]

ok

[earnest olive]

i don't think it's worth saving the $10

[fossil halo]

oh aight

[civic tusk]

Yeah you would be better going with something like a mushkin helix l over a p1

Tbh for most people I would go with the helix l over a mp34 but depends how much of a budget you are on

The mp34 is better but obviously you have to pay for it

[unborn timber]

good day I need some advice but didnt know which chat to ask it in
I am building my first pc and was going to plug it into the ups i already own but now i'm wondering if its ok to do so since my pc psu is 600w and I'm using an apc backups 550

[zealous edge]

Depends

If you are using over 550w for your parts that's not good.

[unborn timber]

I actually read the wattage on the apc 550 is 330W

[zealous edge]

Don't

Do not plug it in

Do you know your Pc's TDP?

[unborn timber]

and my components are ryzen 3600xt, 2x8gb 3200MHz, gigabyte 1660 oc, b550 mb with a case using 3 120mm fans no overclocking to be done but just casual gaming on WoW

[zealous edge]

I recommend not plugging it in.

You don't have a 120v or 240v Outlet?

[unborn timber]

i have no idea

[zealous edge]

Alright

[unborn timber]

i have a surge protector strip?

[zealous edge]

Do u have a wall outlet

[unborn timber]

I'm terrible at elec stuff sorry

[unborn timber]

yes

[zealous edge]

Why do you need a Apc?

No power?

[unborn timber]

it was just a ups back up cause where i live have random power outages at night

[zealous edge]

OIk

Oh ok*

Well first, it's a lot lower then maximum power on your PSU

You are limiting power by 270W

By plugging into that backup

If you have spikes in power, that can be dangerous for your components

[unborn timber]

yeah we do have voltage spikes sometimes when the power returns from a few sec outage

[zealous edge]

No

[unborn timber]

oh you mean pc usage

[zealous edge]

I mean with the backup

Yea

How much power your components need

[icy quail]

would a ryzen 5 3600 and a b450 pro4 am4 be fine with eachother?

[zealous edge]

If they need more then 330W that can be dangerous

[unborn timber]

yes

[zealous edge]

For example, if you are using 300W then all of a sudden you need 350W but you don't have access to it because you are limiting power. That's dangerous.

[zealous edge]

That will work fine.

[unborn timber]

ah ok I understand.

[zealous edge]

It's not recommened.

[unborn timber]

would it be ok to connect it to the surge protector strip instead?

[zealous edge]

You mean the PSU plug into the surge protector that is plugged into the wall?

That's fine.

The surge protector is a parallel circuit

Same power as outlet.

[unborn timber]

yes thank you very much I greatly appreciate your help and taking the time and patience to explain everything

[zealous edge]

Np

[harsh fossil]

Please. What type of Display Port Cable for Dell D2719HGF Monitor , 4K, 144hz refresh rate. Thank you

[rich helm]

Any

[ripe wedge]

hmm

for 4k 144hz

https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Braided-32-4Gbps-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07VVJZJ2P/ @harsh fossil this one says 4k 144hz

the other one he sent was 4k 60

[sinful hornet]

i've gone through all the possible resolutions that windows gives me the option for and none of them fit the TV ;-;

[ripe wedge]

2k isnt 4k

he said 4k 144hz

[icy quail]

ik i just caught that thats why i posted it

to let him know lmao

[ripe wedge]

displayport 1.2 doesnt support higher than 60hz 4k

displayport 1.4 does

[pliant lake]

^ with DSC

[ripe wedge]

however

the thing I dont like that the one I sent doesnt have the teeth on it

should be fine tho

for $18 for a 1.4 dp cant really complain

[harsh fossil]

Yes, 4K, 144Hz . . . thank you

@weary galleon and @pliant lake are super professional . . . thank you!

[weary galleon]

Haha no problem

[pliant lake]

[harsh fossil]

Ciao . . . happy New Year!

[halcyon sable]

Anyone know if this ram is compatible with a asus rampage v extreme motherboard? Or should I get a different speed and different latency?

https://www.newegg.com/team-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820331380?item=N82E16820331380

[hollow grail]

thatll work

[halcyon sable]

Okay I wasn’t sure because it had just about every speed besides 3200 listed on the website

[fleet pagoda]

Pog

[earnest olive]

@halcyon sable hold on

i wouldn't say 3200 xmp would be guaranteed with one of these older chips

if you're running an i7-5820K / 5930K

that's haswell-e

also, your cpu supports quad channel memory

so you should look for 4x8 dimms

instead of 2x16

[stoic island]

Intel naming scheme annoying

Would've thought consumer not HEDT by the name

[earnest olive]

running 3200mhz on haswell-e across 4 dimms might require bclk overclocking and isn't guaranteed

the only "consumer" 5th gen desktop was i7-5775C

5820K/5930K/5960X/6800K/6850K/6900K/6950X are all X99 platform

[stoic island]

Hm

Thought I saw some 5xxx chip in an optiplex before

[ripe wedge]

lol 5960x pretty close to a 5950x

[earnest olive]

might have been the i7-5775C

[stoic island]

Prob

[earnest olive]

oh there was also the i7-5775R

those are the only desktop LGA1150 CPUs with the 5xxx name

[stoic island]

Hm

[earnest olive]

and broadwell architecture

[stoic island]

Need to actually figure out Intel architecture and naming one day

[ripe wedge]

Like a whole timeline

of cpus

[stoic island]

Yes

[ripe wedge]

imma look for one

[stoic island]

I'm never going to remember architecture tho

[earnest olive]

HEDT tends to be 1 architecture behind

[stoic island]

Already enough lakes for me

[earnest olive]

like 4770K is haswell, 5820K is haswell-e, 5775C is broadwell

well it gets weirder i guess

the entire 7000X lineup and 9000X lineup appears to be skylake

including the 7980XE and 9980XE

10980XE is named cascade lake

[stoic island]

Coffee lake was consumer smth

[earnest olive]

yeah coffee lake was consumer 8th/9th gen

with 9th gen being a refresh

[frozen axle]

quick question if i have a gen 3 m.2 sata ports 5 and 6 are disabled right

[earnest olive]

varies by motherboard

[stoic island]

Was skylake the gen before 8th for consumer?

Yea depends completely on mobo

[earnest olive]

kaby lake was 7th

skylake was 6th

[stoic island]

Some don't disable a slot, some disable 5 and 6, some disable 1 and 2, some only one of the ports

[earnest olive]

so it says cascade lake is specifically the 10000X series and some xeons

[stoic island]

Hm

I don't even remember naming for current gen lmao, wasn't it comet lake?

[earnest olive]

yeah comet lake

and then next is rocket lake on desktop

laptop has tiger lake and rocket lake

12th gen will be named alder lake

[stoic island]

Wheee

[earnest olive]

meanwhile amd:
zen
zen+
zen 2
zen 3
zen 4

[stoic island]

I like Zen, Zen+ Zen 2 Zen 3 much better

Yea

[earnest olive]

must say i prefer amd's naming scheme

lol

[stoic island]

Bulldozer before

[earnest olive]

i've memorized most of intel's naming scheme but that doesn't mean i'm a fan of it

😂

[stoic island]

Lol

It's like memorizing which PSUs go boom

You hate it, that's why you remember it :D

[earnest olive]

well i don't remember architecture names before nehalem

[stoic island]

Nehalem

Wa

[hollow grail]

that was the coolest sounding one tbh

[earnest olive]

first gen core

[hollow grail]

or the x5 xeons

as i know them

[stoic island]

I was gonna say like

Was that 8042

[hollow grail]

wait no

thats westmere

[earnest olive]

but even nehalem had additional codenames lol

what a mess

[hollow grail]

used to run lililabs off of 16 of these

[earnest olive]

these are all nehalem core series

[hollow grail]

jasper forest kicks ass as a codename

Lol

[hollow grail]

like fr that bangs

[earnest olive]

and then there's a bunch of nehalem xeons with different codenames

[stoic island]

@hollow grail find pc in forest

[ripe wedge]

where did ya find that

[stoic island]

Wikipedia prob

[earnest olive]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_(microarchitecture)

[hollow grail]

wiki

[stoic island]

Wikipedia doesn't have everything listed together anywhere tho iirc

[hollow grail]

oh i was right

x55 xeons tho

not x56

[ripe wedge]

I wish someone made a list where it said every model under a year and the architecture for intel on a timeline

[earnest olive]

@hollow grail coffee lake is my favorite arch name

[hollow grail]

X7560 was a MONSTER

[earnest olive]

i want to see a coffee lake

[hollow grail]

8 core 16 thread in 2008

can u imagine

[ripe wedge]

sounds expensive

[hollow grail]

to hell with it

[stoic island]

Coffee lake sounds nice

@hollow grail bulldozer

[hollow grail]

5x 12tb now

[earnest olive]

hm

[stoic island]

8 cores

So good

[hollow grail]

dont wanna feel poor

[earnest olive]

it says launch date q1 '10 though

[hollow grail]

500 eur per month for this

not the worst

[earnest olive]

interesting

this xeon is on a socket i haven't heard of before

LGA1567

[hollow grail]

yea

the e7 stuff?

[hollow grail]

only things i know of that ran e7 are uhhhhh

pe 910

[earnest olive]

makes me think of the EX suffix they slapped on pokemon cards

hahaha

nah the xeon x7560

[hollow grail]

socket 1567 tho

https://www.amazon.com/P658H-System-4-Socket-LGA1567-PowerEdge/dp/B00ZYVTRCC

r910 is all i know that runs those

i have 5 of those

the cpus

10 core 20 thread

[stoic island]

400 threads

[hollow grail]

speed

how many threads did i use to have

192

dang

[fossil halo]

Ayy

Whats a good 650w budget psu

I would say s12III but that fits the budget and 650w part but not thr good part

[wanton cliff]

No such thing as a budget PSU

Because those are bombs

[ripe wedge]

cv650 would be eh

c tier

I used it in my secondary system

cv450 model tho

[wanton cliff]

Honestly it would be worth it to pay nearly $200 for a good, modular 1000w unit

Good for the next few years

As long as everything stays mostly standard at least

[hollow grail]

more like 300

[wanton cliff]

True but still

[halcyon sable]

You guys confused me earlier. I already have the rampage v motherboard and the i7 6800k. The ram I sent will work? You guys seemed like you were going back and forth. Am I wasting money getting 2x16 instead of 4x8?

[wanton cliff]

2x16 is better

Dual Channel

Most mobos - especially Intel - don’t support Quad Channel

[muted patio]

Um

That one does

It's X99 chipset

[wanton cliff]

Of course

[muted patio]

SO yeah, 4 DImm'

[wanton cliff]

The one time

[muted patio]

s would be best

[wanton cliff]

4x8 is better in this case

[muted patio]

Pro Tip - ALWAYS check the motherboard lol

[wanton cliff]

Good idea lol

The ONE TIME I don’t check

[muted patio]

always check

[wanton cliff]

I usually always check the mobo

[muted patio]

Because the one time you don't

XD

@halcyon sable 4x8 GB DIMM's, yes

[wanton cliff]

The ONE GODDAMN TIME

I concur, 4x8

[solemn sleet]

yo do you guys know why everytime i turn on my pc i boot into bios ? and not windows

[muted patio]

make sure your boot order is set to the drive with Windows on it first

[solemn sleet]

how do o check that ?

I*

[small osprey]

go into bios

[muted patio]

Go to the Boot section in your BIOS

[small osprey]

find boot order in boot section

[muted patio]

Ah

It may be something else also

[small osprey]

then set ur drive as first

[muted patio]

Last time I ran into this, they didn't have the CPU fan plugged into the CPU-FAN header and it was throwing an error

check that too

[solemn sleet]

oh yeah

it keeps saying that

[muted patio]

Ok then

[solemn sleet]

my cpu header

[muted patio]

Plug your CPU fan into the CPU fan header

[solemn sleet]

ok

[muted patio]

Yeah, there's a 4 pin header labeled CPU_FAN

[solemn sleet]

ok

[muted patio]

Plug the CPU cooler into that

[solemn sleet]

mine only has a 3 pin tho

[muted patio]

ohhhhh

[solemn sleet]

does it still work ?

[muted patio]

That's why

So

What motherboard?

[solemn sleet]

i have an asus

b450f

[small osprey]

oh only a three pin cpu fan

hm

[solemn sleet]

yea

i tried plugging it in

[muted patio]

There should be a way to set the fan to DC mode

In the BIOS in the fan section

[solemn sleet]

yeah

[muted patio]

It's probably PWM, change it to DC

[solemn sleet]

i can

ok

i’ll do that

[small osprey]

no 4th pin means voltage control

[muted patio]

That means no PWM control

MB can still change voltage to change RPM

in DC mode

[small osprey]

mm

[muted patio]

3 wire is +, - and RPM feedback

4 wire is PWM

[small osprey]

mhm

[solemn sleet]

that’s what it says

[muted patio]

Hmmm, I wonder if your connection is off by one?

The 3 pin should fit right into the 4 pin tab

[small osprey]

is it the right way on

[muted patio]

yeah, might be off by a pin

[uneven mist]

cpu fan or is it for a pump

bc my aio had a 3 pin and a 4 pin and it was like optional

that was for pump

[solemn sleet]

a pump

yeah

i have an aio

[uneven mist]

are there any other cords?

[muted patio]

Should still be able to go on the CPU FAN header for the pump

Just set it to 100% all the time

[uneven mist]

but with no control..

[muted patio]

You have control

DC mode

[uneven mist]

ig

[solemn sleet]

so i change it to dc mode ?

in bios

[muted patio]

Yes

[solemn sleet]

ok

[uneven mist]

try it

[muted patio]

DC mode is for controlling 3 pin devices

Does that board have an AIO header?

[solemn sleet]

no

i don’t think so

[muted patio]

B450F strix?

[solemn sleet]

yeah

[muted patio]

lemme grab a manual then

[solemn sleet]

ok

[uneven mist]

but idk my pump had 3 pins or a 4 pin but the 3 pin i looked it up it was a thing for only aorus mobos or somethin

[muted patio]

For your AIO, are the fans on a splitter?

[solemn sleet]

yeah

[muted patio]

2 fans to one cable?

[solemn sleet]

they are

[muted patio]

KK, brb

[solemn sleet]

ok

[uneven mist]

and also i used cpufan and cpu opt for my cpu fans and the cpupump for the pump?

[muted patio]

Ok, in this picture, connect the PUMP to the AIO_PUMP header center Left. Connect the fans to CPU_FAN top Right by the RAM

[solemn sleet]

i think i fixed it

[muted patio]

Yeah, if you don't have an AIO header, you can use the CPU_FAN though

[solemn sleet]

i just booted to windows

and not bios

[muted patio]

Make sure the pump is on the AIO_PUMP header though

so it runs 100% all the time

[uneven mist]

ik it doesnt really make to bad of a difference but its anoying in my build i didnt have enough rgb headers

[muted patio]

get a controller then

[uneven mist]

and through covid im still waiting in mail for my controller...

[muted patio]

oof

[uneven mist]

but atleast i have my pc and its all good and running

[solemn sleet]

thx guys

i boot to windows now

[muted patio]

[little osprey]

Hi

So

Some time ago, my PC randomly shut off. I assumed it was a bad PSU, so I bought a new one. I installed the new one, it still won’t turn on

[civic tusk]

Maybe bad motherboard then

[little osprey]

But my computer doesn’t even turn on

[civic tusk]

Yeah that could be caused by a bad motherboard

[little osprey]

It doesn’t get to bios or anything

How would I know if it’s the motherboard ?

[civic tusk]

Test the psu

And test the motherboard

[little osprey]

What do you mean,

I’ve already installed a new power supply

[civic tusk]

For testing the motherboard you will need specialist equipment

But you can test the psu using the paperclip method

[little osprey]

Well I doubt it’s my power supply it’s literally brand new

Unless it’s coincidence that BOTH of my power supplies were dead

[civic tusk]

What psu is it

[little osprey]

A rm 850x

[civic tusk]

Yeah good quality psu then so doubt that was doa

Probably the motherboard then

[little osprey]

Are you sure ?

[civic tusk]

Without testing it would be hard to tell

[little osprey]

If it were a bad mobo wouldn’t it turn on and then stop at bios

Or at boot

My computer doesn’t like.. respond

[civic tusk]

Not exactly it could just not turn on at all

[little osprey]

I turn it on and it doesn’t even start up

[rich helm]

No a dead mobo just wouldn’t work

[little osprey]

Like my computer won’t even turn on if that makes sense

[civic tusk]

Yeah we understand

The point still stands about the motherboard

[little osprey]

Well

I guess there isn’t much I can do then

[civic tusk]

You can either get your motherboard tested or just buy a new one

[muted patio]

So you had a working PC

It quit

You replaced the PSU and it still doesn't work?

Most likely ded CPU or motherboard

[frozen axle]

is it ok to run a pc off a power plug

[muted patio]

What do you mean by power plug?

[frozen axle]

the thing you plug into your wall that allows to plug in more things

[muted patio]

Oh, a power strip

[frozen axle]

yeah sorry lost the word for it

[muted patio]

Like surge protector?

Surge protectors are fine

I wouldn't use just a straight splitter though

[frozen axle]

like that

[muted patio]

Ah yeah that should be fine

[frozen axle]

oh sick ty

[wanton mauve]

Why does my PC buzz

[desert gulch]

it could be coming from gpu or psu

which would be coil whine

id try to find where it is coming from

[heady sand]

Are there any good like 500mb-1 gig wifi cards that I dont have to drop a fortune on

^ pcie

[wanton cliff]

Of course

See if you can find something on Amazon and bring it back here

[muted patio]

I mean, will your router support those WiFi speeds?

AC1200-1600?

[wanton cliff]

Oh that’s true

That and the modem

[muted patio]

Yeah, WiFi card does you no good without something to connect to

[wet furnace]

Someone help It doesnt show options for any networks and it says I need network drivers but how do I install them with no wifi

[wanton cliff]

Ethernet

[wet furnace]

I am trying

It doesnt let mw

Me

It says its plugged in on my case but nothing shows up under network

[wanton cliff]

On your case?

[muted patio]

Windows 10 didn't install any drivers?

[wanton cliff]

Are you not plugged into your motherboard?

[muted patio]

That's odd.....what board is it?

[frozen axle]

hey guys im having issues with my build i cant seem to get ethernet working

only wifi seems to be up

[wanton cliff]

3 WiFi people in a row

[scarlet gazelle]

are you sure the ethernet cord works and is firmly into the motherboard

[wet furnace]

Its b640-hdvI think

[wanton cliff]

Could it be an ISP problem?

[frozen axle]

i am very sure the ethernet works

[scarlet gazelle]

good question

[frozen axle]

i jist swaped it out from another pc

like 2 seconds ago

from my old build to my new one and now i seem to be only able to connect wirelessly

[muted patio]

This one? https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B460M-HDV/

[wet furnace]

Yes

[muted patio]

Do you have a second PC or laptop?

[scarlet gazelle]

for all those who are struggling with internet whats your isp

[wet furnace]

No but my brother has one

[frozen axle]

verizon

[muted patio]

Ok, download this: https://download.asrock.com/Drivers/Intel/LAN/Intel_LAN(v12.18.9.20_20200407).zip
to a USB drive and install it on your computer. It's the LAN driver

@wet furnace

[wet furnace]

Could you dm me that

So its saved

[frozen axle]

i dont think its isp but im not sure the ethernet cable worked like 2 seconds ago when i was making install media

[wet furnace]

So I need to download that onto the flash drive

Plug it into my new pc

And download it from there

[muted patio]

Yes

Those are the drivers for the ethernet

[frozen axle]

i think i figured my issue out

[scarlet gazelle]

what is it

[frozen axle]

lack of network drivers it seems

in device manager seems no ethernet controller drivers and stuff

maybe wifi will fix it

yep it did if you select limited setup and then connect via ethernet u wont have a connection cause of no ethernet drivers

welp time to live with activate windows

[wet furnace]

Wait you got that watermark?

[frozen axle]

i probably will after i restart to get all the windows updates

odds are watermark will be there after i restart

[wet furnace]

Broo my luck is so bad

Imma have to take apart my pc

[frozen axle]

ehy

[wet furnace]

Put my old parts

Install drivers

Onto flashdrive

Then build my new PC again

[frozen axle]

do you have like a library near you

[unborn flicker]

@muted patio any chance i could pick your brain a min ?

[frozen axle]

thats open ofc

[wet furnace]

Do they let you p
Download stuff tho?

[frozen axle]

depends mine did when i was in the same situation you were in except i had no old parts

[muted patio]

Sup>

[sonic trail]

Me I’m Still waiting to see available parts for my build haha

[frozen axle]

so many things to install new system makes me hype but then i realize i need to go through download simulator

dw i literally got my gpu like 4 hours ago i couldnt wait until tmr

[unborn flicker]

i sent u a dm

[wet furnace]

I was stoked to make my new pc today

But I can't even use it now

[sonic trail]

Not finished to build or didn’t receive your parts yet ?

[frozen axle]

i think lan drivers

[wet furnace]

No because wifi dont work

[frozen axle]

oh

tough :(

[sonic trail]

You are on LTE right now ??

[wet furnace]

What's lte

[muted patio]

Hmmm

there's an idea

Do you have a cell phone you can make a HotSpot with?

[wanton cliff]

There are guides on how to remove the watermark using the Registry Editor

[wet furnace]

Yes

[muted patio]

You could plug your phone into your PC with a USB cable and share the connection to get that driver you need

for the LAN

[frozen axle]

oh u guys talk about that other servers banned me for asking about that

[muted patio]

We don't tell you HOW

Just that you can

[frozen axle]

i see

[muted patio]

That's as far as it goes lol

[wanton cliff]

I can’t say more

Vintage will kick me personally

[frozen axle]

well now i know its not fake atleast the comments be like Works great! by john doe or something like that

[wet furnace]

How would I share the xonnect

[frozen axle]

was very suspicious to me

[wet furnace]

Connection

[sonic trail]

Do you have an iPhone ?

[wanton cliff]

As long as you aren’t downloading anything you can usually trust a guide

Worst case you reinstall windows

[frozen axle]

true ty

[wet furnace]

No I have a crappy android

[frozen axle]

microsoft edge the google chrome downloader

[wanton cliff]

Iridium downloader for me

[desert gulch]

android is best

easily

[frozen axle]

i just install duck duck go and chrome usually

[wanton cliff]

Both have their ups and downs

[desert gulch]

isnt android still best for photos and iphone for videos?

[wanton cliff]

Depends on the phone lol

[flat temple]

True

[desert gulch]

like flagship wise

[wanton cliff]

Not all android phones are created equal

[wanton cliff]

Android is an open source OS, it doesn’t have a flagship

[flat temple]

iPhone generally is best for both, but for example the pixel series from google had the best photo phone for a while

[wet furnace]

Doesnt even let me connect

[desert gulch]

i mean like flagships from all the companies, like google, samsung, lg etc

[flat temple]

Unlucky

[desert gulch]

yeah i think iphone wins in support from apps tho

easily

[wanton cliff]

Imagine not using the ROG Phone 3

[flat temple]

Lol

[desert gulch]

since they only have a couple phones per year

[frozen axle]

i have resolved that ill get the 400 dollar midrange phones that both companies come out with

[flat temple]

I use iPhone 11 and it’s good

[wanton cliff]

coughs in Xcloud

[desert gulch]

and theres like hundreds of androids a year

[stoic island]

anyways

@wet furnace plug phone in

use USB tethering, or whatever your phone calls it

[flat temple]

Imagine even having a phone when u can turn it in and buy a 3070/3080 instead

[stoic island]

and then it'll show up as an ethernet connection on the computer's side

[wanton cliff]

Can’t relate

[flat temple]

Sadge

Me either

[sonic trail]

I’m just wondering how you can talk here if you say you don’t have any wifi

[wet furnace]

I got data

On my phone

[wanton cliff]

Data, LTE, ethernet

Etc

[flat temple]

LMFAO

[sonic trail]

He doesn’t know what it is

[wet furnace]

But what if my phone is a Samsung

[fossil halo]

disgusting

[wet furnace]

And it like only has Samsung charger cable

[stoic island]

Should be usb-c or smth

[flat temple]

^

[stoic island]

plug it in the back

[fossil halo]

chrome is the secondary browser to play io games on

[frozen axle]

usb c to usb probably for samsung

[wet furnace]

waut

[flat temple]

Chrome is something alright, and a ram hog is one of them

[wet furnace]

It works

[wanton cliff]

Firefox

[wet furnace]

I did usb tethering
