why not faster ram

glacial lark
#

tight budget and am not really relying on cpu power atm

hollow grail
#

how much is mp34 vs the p1 where u are

stoic island
#

@unborn flicker it's just United States and import tariffs against China that had exemptions that are expiring

#

I think, don't quote me, but the tariffs were like 10-25%

wanton cliff
#

where did he go

unborn flicker
#

i was sitting here like hmmmm should i go ahead and just go over kill and upgrade from 64 to 128 of ram Lol

fossil halo

yes

#

you should

#

wait how tho

wait wasnt he the 450w psu dude

wanton cliff

cas latency doesnt matter too much

#

unless you are overclocking

the l is good but not enough of a banger to give to an irl friend

mental steeple

#

MP34 is nice

mental steeple
#

The pilot-E is SM2262EN

stoic island
#

Well

mental steeple
#

The MP34 is phison E12

wanton cliff
junior frost
#

i have 6438TB of storage on my PC

#

still cant download COD

fossil halo
#

and there sir is where we say

#

πŸ‘²

mental steeple
#

MP34 might've switched to 2262en???

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

3600 cl18 will preform slightly better than 3200 cl16 on Ryzen, because of IF clocks

@mental steeple when?

mental steeple

#

well

#

tru tho

mental steeple
glacial lark
junior frost
#

i dont like my 360HZ triple monitor setup tho.

mental steeple
#

Doesn't matter though

#

Phison E12 and 2262EN perform close enough that it does not matter

stoic island
#

bruh

fossil halo

#

swapping controllers kinda scummy tho

I know this should be the easiest part, but does anyone know a full tower ATX case with room for 3 120mm or 2 140mm on the front? for a not outragous cost? RGB preferrable

full tower

#

nvm

Bait and switch on any part of the SSD is scummy

that and the fail rate

@spiral lake TD500 mesh, P400a, P500a, Lian li lancool ii mesh

mental steeple
small osprey
#

mesh

#

it comes with three argb front fans

junior frost
#

my pc was $64337

stoic island
#

nah man

#

never

mental steeple
#

mfw mr1111 explains how not having a dedicated dram cache means you cant do wear levelling

stoic island
#

Ah yes

mental steeple
small osprey
hollow grail
#

i just will respect it as long as it is $90 or less

stoic island
#

@mental steeple dram magically spreads itself like butter on the nand

glacial lark
#

can a ryzen5 5600x run on a b550 without a bios update

stoic island
#

that's how they wear level

#

you gotta keep them buttered up

wanton cliff
small osprey
mental steeple
#

I'd lump SN550 into the same category.

#

Above that pay the extra money for the pilot-E or mp34

hollow grail
#

sn550 is 100% in that category

stoic island
#

But anyways I seriously remember something about dram being important for wear leveling somewhere

hollow grail
#

pilot e and mp34 are rly good tho

wanton cliff
mental steeple
small osprey
#

my pc list can actually be used and doesnt have any unnecessary stuff lol

stoic island
#

I don't think it was ltt, don't even remember if they talked about wear leveling

wanton cliff
mental steeple
#

it CAN affect wear levelling if we store metadata on the nand (PSLC cache) @stoic island as in we're putting more wear on the nand (Not by a margin that matters for regular consumers)

small osprey
#

oh lmao

hollow grail
small osprey
#

mine is consumer level

mental steeple
#

But if we put metadata in HMB there is no extra wear

wanton cliff
#

bull

#

shomi

small osprey
#

k wait a sec

hollow grail
#

i just cant use hmb i think

mental steeple
#

And the SN550 which splits metadata between SLC cache and SRAM cache doesn't see a relevant endurance loss

hollow grail
#

since a lot of my infrastructure is sandy bridge

little osprey
#

okay but here me out
dimm to m.2 convertor. and then put an hmb drive in it πŸ€”

mental steeple
#

Global wear levelling is basically a given

#

Not even worth mentioning

small osprey
hollow grail
#

my babies need wear leveling lul

mental steeple
fossil halo
#

i think i know the answer

#

to everyone's quetions

in this chat

#

also thats the without sound version

hollow grail
wanton cliff
#

i have the audio version

mental steeple
#

nand is actually just a ton of tiny hard drives in raid 0

#

QLC nand is bad because it uses tiny SMR hard drives

hollow grail
#

true

wanton cliff
#

lmao

#

Big NAND

mental steeple
#

also the phison E12 had bad ECC

wanton cliff
#

sound like my parents lol

mental steeple
stoic island
#

it what

mental steeple
#

The phison E12 has 55 BIT BCH SIR

mental steeple
#

the phison e12 utilizes 2kbit codeword LDPC combined with parity raidECC for redundancy 😎

stoic island
#

tbh

#

why would you use raid on ecc

mental steeple
#

what

stoic island
#

like

mental steeple
#

do you know how raidECC works

stoic island
#

are you going to save everything twice, and check errors on both?

#

nah

mental steeple
#

if LDPC fails to correct an error raidECC provides an uncorrupted parity of the data

#

it works by duplicating writes on the superpage level iirc

glacial lark
#

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YYsVZZ @wanton cliff ok so after some more digging and testing i finally came with a final draft might change the motherboard last second but i think this will be it, even though it is over my budget i can always find a way to make up for that.

mental steeple
#

and ldpc in itself is already double redundant by providing both hard and soft decoding

stoic island
#

ah

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

How would LDPC fail actually?

mental steeple
wanton cliff
#

yeah the 212 isnt great

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff txm actually cheapest good psu in uk

wanton cliff
#

the P1 is alright tho

mental steeple
#

neither is the crucial p1

wanton cliff
#

I remember the P1 being good?

stoic island
mental steeple
#

and i mean the SN550 is just

stoic island
#

I think P1 had a really small SLC cache?

mental steeple
#

overall better

mental steeple

yeah p1 is anemic

yes

# wanton cliff 970 EVO

970 evo is on par with e12 and 2262en based drives and priced like it can compete with the sn750 and p31

which it cant

my love

970 is perfectly fine though

mental steeple

both r good

lili, join us in the VC. Everyone is here.

only know the sata hynix gold one

corsair TXM is fine

mental steeple
hollow grail
stoic island
#

@mental steeple I'd go TD500 mesh and skip on extra fans lel

wanton cliff
#

you were in there yesterday

mental steeple
#

dont care enough

#

😎

stoic island
#

or p400a for even cheaper with 3 fans

earnest olive
#

corsair txm is better than just fine

wanton cliff
mental steeple
wanton cliff
#

join us, everyone that can

stoic island
#

TXm is good :P

mental steeple
#

It has above average ripple in higher wattage loads, lack of 12V OCP (which is normally fine) but OPP is set a little bit too high for it to act as a very good substitute for 12V OCP @earnest olive

earnest olive
#

maybe we have different standards of fine

mental steeple
#

and then it has meme-tier fan curve but lol who cares

wanton cliff
#

more people

earnest olive
#

i think any psu that has given me zero issues with a 3080 is more than fine

muted patio
#

There are things that matter

#

And things to nitpick

earnest olive
#

evga bq is fine

#

lol

mental steeple
#

An EVGA supernova G3 which is not fine would work fine with a 3080, maybe re-consider your definition of fine and above fine.

mental steeple
earnest olive
#

my bad i forgot little timmy needs a 4x3090 setup to run fortnite

mental steeple
#

The corsair TXM is "good" but it's not nearly as outstanding as some people make it out to be

muted patio
#

I mean, 99.9% of users have no idea about power supplies

#

They buy them and use them and everything works just fine

mental steeple
#

Yep that's why garbage tier power supplies have rave user reviews.

#

Is because of clueless consumers

muted patio
#

And most of those people have no issues

mental steeple
#

Not referring to the TXM here.

muted patio
#

You're assuming their hardware fails

#

And also it failed because of the PSU.

mental steeple
#

There is a very real chance they can cause hardware failure.

muted patio
#

The whole truth is that nitpicking all this stuff means absolutely nothing to most people. The vast, and I mean VAST majority of people don't have issues

#

Even with cheap garbo power supplies

earnest olive
#

also.. source on txm not having ocp? corsair claims ocp and the teardown on tom's hardware lists ocp

muted patio
#

You always need to remember that what matters to you or I doesn't need to matter to other people

mental steeple
#

i might be wrong though

muted patio
#

I have a Phanteks AMP for a reason lol

earnest olive
muted patio
#

But if someone buys a Corsair CV and it works fine forever, it doesn't really matter

mental steeple
#

looks like im wrong

#

TXM does have 12V OCP

muted patio
#

I mean, I had a 700 watt ThermalTake TR2 that I beat on for 5-6 years and never had an issue

mental steeple
#

Yep.

#

That happens.

#

Doesn't change the fact it's a liability and these units are unrecommendable for most builds

#

It really doesn't cost much money to get something with a decent secondary side topology

muted patio
#

Exactly, so beating on people about useless acronyms that they don't know or care about often leads to them getting frustrated and just leaving

muted patio
#

if they resist, don't force the issue lol

frigid zinc
#

im setting up my pc and it dosent detects my wifi

#

what can i do

#

i dont have a ethernet cable

mental steeple
#

The TXM was good in my mind beforehand?

#

Pointing out a power supplies flaws=/=it's a bad power supply all together

earnest olive
#

my definition of "fine" is "just good enough to not be worth throwing in the garbage", i think the txm is quite a bit better than that threshold

mental steeple
#

especially considering I wasn't even right about the 12V OCP

#

It really isn't hard to just ignore trash products and buy good products that still don't cost much

#

It's like an extra $10-20 to get a DC-DC regulated power supply now.

#

Well worth it for not having an extra liability.

#

"It's worked for people" isn't a valid reason to not shun an outdated and unsuitable design.

stoic island
#

@mental steeple why you gotta insult my g3 :(

muted patio
#

Vast majority of people buy based on price. PSU is always the bottom of the list. CPU and GPU first.

frigid zinc
#

can anyone help me

#

im setting up windows and it dosent detect my wifi and i cant really move the router to use a ethernet cable

#

nvm fixed it

earnest olive
#

I was about to ask if you had a wifi adapter lol

frigid zinc
#

ok nvm

#

i still have issue

boreal quiver
#

Is an mpg x570 a pretty good motherboard

frigid zinc
#

it dosent detect wifi

stoic island
#

depends on which one

boreal quiver
#

Do you have a wifi adapter plugged in with working antennas?

stoic island
#

x570 gaming edge wifi or what else

stay away from that one

i cant do anything in my pc

stoic island

just drag your pc into other room :P

#

check drivers

frigid zinc
#

yes but i cant move the router

#

how do i check them

stoic island
#

like move pc to where the router is

boreal quiver
#

You think changing the capacitors might help it?

stoic island
#

you what

#

changing the caps

boreal quiver
#

Or are the cpaicators not the heat issue

stoic island
#

what you trying to do to the mobo

boreal quiver
#

If there is a problem with vrms I'd rather experiment with it than buy a new one

#

I'm not having problems so far

#

But later on would it become an issue

stoic island
#

Yes, but any high end am4 chip OC will make it toasty

#

like 105c+ under OCed 3900x

boreal quiver
#

Oof

stoic island
#

anyways, if you think replacing caps does anything to inefficient mosfets
they don't

#

maybe you could try to get some kind of new heatsink on

boreal quiver
#

True

stoic island
#

but anyways

#

just don't oc any high end chips

boreal quiver
#

I'm running a ryzen 7 3700x but overclocking dosent have room anyways really on it

boreal quiver
#

.2 gigahertz max for a heavy increase in temperature is a no thanks

fleet pagoda
#

Should i even bother activating windows

#

I dont wanna spend the extra money

boreal quiver
#

I have a program that makes the activate thing go away at boot

#

Not worth it unless you want the customization

muted patio
#

Let's not talk about that here pls

#

Activate or don't, that's up to you

boreal quiver
#

Alright

mental steeple
#

None of the MPG x570 boards are good.

wanton cliff
#

X570 TUF is much better

stoic island
#

I think ace was mpg? Dunno, marketing always weird

mental steeple
#

X570 in general is to be avoided unless you fit the niche that can utilize the extra chipset lanes, stick with B550.

mental steeple
stoic island
#

Fun

wanton cliff
#

I got my TUF X570 for $130 at one point a few months ago, brand new straight from the seller

mental steeple
#

You'll get better motherboard componentry for a lower price if you go with B550

#

unless you get a deal like that

p400a digital isn't great unless you can find it in the sub $80 area

stoic island
#

Coolermaster H500 no suffix

mental steeple
#

Meshify C also isn't great

#

Neo air is just too strong πŸ’ͺ

stoic island
#

Meshify C usually 80$ now, with another fan it can be good

tulip arch
stoic island
#

@mental steeple imo mx330-g air is a neo air, except one more fan

#

Yes, mesh panel good

stoic island
#

I think neo air is 2 included?

#

Mx330-g air is 3

mental steeple
#

the neo air uses the p360a frame and as a result has quite a bit better build quality than the MX330-G air

#

i was replying to you calling it a neo air

stoic island
#

Ofc build quality, I mean performance wise

mental steeple
#

the mx-330g screams sweatshop quality

stoic island
#

Personally I'm focused on stuffing perf in

mental steeple
#

then again i suppose iphones do aswell

stoic island
#

If it cuts you it's fine >:D

wanton cliff
#

should I run Heaven to heat up my laptop a little to use to warm my hands?

ah

#

well

#

TUF then

mental steeple
#

Sorry

#

Not chipset fans

#

Chipset thermal pads

stoic island
#

@mental steeple bent sata SSDs are the best out of context

mental steeple
#

Same affect

wanton cliff
#

thought you meant VRM fans

stoic island

Because it's not something that just accidentally happens

mental steeple

The X570I strix has a chipset fan

it's just very well hidden

Why not

mental steeple
stoic island

Why would it not let you stress test

Is it too scared of furmark

wanton cliff

Give it a second to send

is the ASUS ROG Strix B450-F a decent mobo for a middle of the road PC? Most importantly does it have wifi. pretty sure most mobos these days do but i want to make sure

wanton cliff

It will say if it had WiFi

#

That one doesn’t

#

Most don’t

#

Get a B550 also, not a B450

is there a major reason why?

wanton cliff

Why what?

Why they don’t have wifi?

got it, ill look for 550s now

Also you can get a WiFi PCIe card that performs better than any onboard WiFi

spiral lake
#

got it, thank you

muted patio
#

I mean

wanton cliff
#

Come back when you find a good board

muted patio
#

Onboard wifi cheaper though. Most add in cards are $30+ while onboard wifi is usually a $20 permium for the same board

wanton cliff
#

True

#

WiFi boards in general are also usually really expensive by themselves

muted patio
#

Yeah, it will depend on the board too

When I was shopping for mine, WiFi was an extra $15-20 so I just sent it lol

How tf is a 1650Ti getting 128 FPS on Heaven on Ultra settings in 4K

It is but no way to update BIOS if you buy a 5000 series CPU lol

can u send me a link for the 3500

small osprey
small osprey
#

thats supposed to be ryzen 5 3600

wanton cliff
#

I meant what I said

small osprey
#

uh nothing there

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

why a 3500 tho

#

$700 is quite some

wanton cliff
small osprey
#

enough for a 3600

wanton cliff
#

Now I’m only getting 17fps but it’s still capping at 60c

#

3500 is just a lower binned chip without hyperthreading

small osprey
#

oof no hyper threading

muted patio
#

They aren't available to the public

#

OEM only

#

"There is though, a catch. Namely that this processor is only being provided to OEM partners. In other words, a retail desktop release doesn’t seem likely at all."

wanton cliff
#

Aw

#

Damn

#

Thought it was available to consumers

muted patio
#

"channels in certain regions."

#

Probably Asia/EU market possibly

wanton cliff
#

Capping at 60c

muted patio
#

Uh

#

I don't think you can

#

And 60C isn't thermal throttling

#

Thermal throttle is like, 90C

wanton cliff
#

It’s a laptop

#

Idk how windows knows that

#

But it is

muted patio
#

IDK

#

I have never even looked into that lol

wanton cliff
#

Nvidia control panel?

#

Wait

#

It might have been using Intel UHD graphics

#

Damn iGPU

small osprey
#

lol

wanton cliff
#

How do I make it use my GPU instead of iGPU

muted patio
#

nVidia control panel

wanton cliff
#

I still don’t see how

#

Wait

#

I think it’s saying that PhysX is using the GPU while the display is using the CPU (10300H)

muted patio
#

nVidia Control Panel section

hollow grail
#

throttlestop fixes this but like

#

can also turn laptop into inferno

#

viewer discretion advised

muted patio
#

Ye, I didn't realize it was a lappy until the next post lol

wanton cliff
#

I nuked this laptop tho

hollow grail
#

its in the bios

wanton cliff
#

so it must be some sort of hardware thing

#

or bios thats true as well

wanton cliff
#

it only exists in lappys

muted patio
#

It dfidn't register

wanton cliff
#

makes sense

hollow grail
#

noooooo

wanton cliff
#

rip tucows

muted patio
#

I only saw 3500/1650 lol

wanton cliff
#

3500 i was recommending to someone else before I realized that its only in budget prebuilts

#

I should go to bios after im done with homework

#

I should get done with homework

#

Acer BIOS is F2 right?

drifting garnet
#

So my friends CPU debug light comes on his MSI B550M Pro VDH motherboard, and the system doesn't post. This started happening after he overclocked his ram to 3333mhz from 3200mhz and it won't post but the fans spin.

muted patio
#

Reset CMOS

wanton cliff
#

of course it wont

#

CMOS

muted patio
#

Either use the battery method or jump the two CMOS pins

wanton cliff
#

agreed

wanton cliff
#

what RAM is it?

#

a jump of 133mhz shouldnt do too much damage

drifting garnet
#

Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200

wanton cliff
#

ah

#

the bad die RAM

#

makes sense

drifting garnet
#

He had it OC'd before and it just started.

wanton cliff
#

yeah

drifting garnet
#

Did his ram be like broke now?

wanton cliff
#

that happens

wanton cliff
drifting garnet
#

ok

wanton cliff
#

itll be fine

#

just an unstable clock

#

reset CMOS and turn the XMP profile back on and you will be perfectly fine

#

worst case scenario, get some better RAM, because Corsair Vengeance sucks kinda bad ngl

drifting garnet
#

I'm pretty sure my ram is sucky too.

muted patio
#

OH yeah, that probably won't overclock well without raising the voltage

drifting garnet
#

That is why I am not overclocking

wanton cliff
drifting garnet
#

T Force 3200 16gb

little osprey
#

Is there a way where I can use my phone to measure pc temps for free?

muted patio
#

use your phone to measure PC temps? no

wanton cliff
#

but there are plenty of softwares that are free

little osprey
wanton cliff
#

and I doubt your phone does

little osprey
#

@wanton cliff I meant software wise

#

Like is there software I can download

little osprey
#

but mostly likely to be very expensive

drifting garnet
#

My friend is also getting Crucial Ballistics. From what I heard it is good for overclocking is that true?

#

He is sad that he can't overclock his Corsair ram.

#

Lol he reset the Cmos and it still no work

#

@muted patio

muted patio
#

Did you unplug it from the wall first?

drifting garnet
#

yes

muted patio
#

Left battery out for how long?

drifting garnet
#

I think I know why

#

He only left it out for 2 seconds kekw

muted patio
#

Yeah, needs to be minutes

#

not seconds

drifting garnet
#

like 3?

#

2?

#

4?

muted patio
#

2

drifting garnet
#

ok

ripe wedge
hollow grail
#

i mean

#

they arent wrong

#

it is the largest consumer ssd

#

mostly because EVERYONE ELSE thinks "why are we doing this"

wanton cliff
#

M.2 can go up to 7.3 tb from what I’ve seen

#

Those drives are slow as heck tho

hollow grail
#

the sabrent one has a big enough cache that you can constantly write to it

wanton cliff
#

Slow in comparison

#

And they are M.2

wanton cliff
hollow grail
wanton cliff
#

Dang

#

Fast

hollow grail
#

has 2tb of slc nand sitting in front of the qlc

#

so itll hit those write speeds for a while

wanton cliff
#

Impressive

#

Wonder when consumer drives will be on the petascale

#

Another decade or two?

#

3 even?

#

How long did it take us to go from the gigascale to the terascale?

fleet pagoda
wanton cliff
#

Find the email

#

Idk

fleet pagoda
#

Its not in there

#

I checked everything it doesnt go that far back

wanton cliff
#

Well then you are screwed KEK

#

Disown your grandma

#

Or call wherever you bought it from and see if you can still redeem it

fleet pagoda
#

:v

#

Would i contact bestbuy where i bought it

wanton cliff
#

Yep

drifting garnet
# muted patio 2

Ok now he reset the cmos, and it brings up the windows logo but nothing happens. Not even the loading icon spinny thing.

wanton cliff
#

Not the seller

#

Iirc

muted patio
#

Gotta go into the BIOS and setup ram speed and boot order.

wanton cliff
#

Dang same time

#

I’ve never had to setup boot order after CMOS clear?

#

Then again I’ve only ever had one SSD since my last CMOS clear

muted patio
#

THey got hte Windows logo so probably not boot order but

#

Might be trying to boot Legacy instead of UEFI

wanton cliff
#

thats what I thought

#

cant get the windows logo without windows

drifting garnet
#

What is the difference between XMP 1 and XMP profile 2? The timings are just lower on 2 right?

muted patio
#

Not necessarily, check what settings the profile is changing

stoic island
#

Sometimes XMP 1 is just JEDEC defaults

drifting garnet
#

I am using profile 1 an I own the same motherboard as him and it runs at the rated speed, not sure if the timings are any different.

wanton cliff
#

What board, what CPU?

little osprey
#

@drifting garnet I can overclock my corsair ram

wanton cliff
#

Which kit is it?

#

@little osprey

drifting garnet
wanton cliff
#

Give it a minute

#

That usually takes a few of them

drifting garnet
#

We have given it like 20 minutes

wanton cliff
#

Ah

drifting garnet
#

now what

frozen axle
#

hey can i send someone a video about the windows watermark to see if its legit cause the other methods make the activation come back

wanton cliff
drifting garnet
#

he did

#

happened twice

wanton cliff
earnest olive
#

hmm 3090 sat in my cart for 3 minutes

#

less demand for 3090 than 3080 i guess

frozen axle
#

true

earnest olive
#

lol

little osprey
#

I have 2 of those sets

wanton cliff
#

What’s it OCed at?

#

Also keep in mind the Silicon Lottery exists

little osprey
#

3600

wanton cliff
#

Oh wow

drifting garnet
#

now what after it is stuck on the automatic repair?

little osprey
#

I could probably go further, but didn't want to risk damage

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

My motherboard allow up to 4000 mhz

wanton cliff
#

Which mobo?

little osprey
#

Msi mpg gaming plus x570

wanton cliff
#

Ew

muted patio
#

Well, your mothebroard may allow up to 4000 but the CPU won't. It's tied to FCLK and desyncing it costs performance

wanton cliff
#

What CPU?

muted patio
#

3600

little osprey
#

7 3700x

muted patio
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

Haven't updated my name yet

drifting garnet
#

He wants to try an M Flash

muted patio
#

maybe 3800 max

drifting garnet
#

Is that a good idea

muted patio
#

if your 3700 will allow a 1900 FCLK

#

not all will do taht

little osprey
#

@muted patio Im not going to try to OC a 3200 to 4000

muted patio
#

Good lol

little osprey
#

3600 is the max I'm willing to go

drifting garnet
#

halp

wanton cliff
#

Zen2 doesn’t benefit from more than 3600mhz anyways

drifting garnet
#

pls halp

little osprey
#

@drifting garnet Sara sent a hint

drifting garnet
#

But he said he wants to try a M Flash Bios update could he do that? I already know how to do one.

muted patio
#

That's a BIOS update, doubt it will help with windows loading?

#

SOunds like memory OC may have corrupted something

drifting garnet
#

yeah me too, I don't know why he thinks that will help.

wanton cliff
#

A bios update may help if it’s corrupted

muted patio
#

Make sure the boot order in BIOS is set to UEFI device and not legacy

drifting garnet
#

So I will tell him to do the thing with the drives again.

wanton cliff
#

Could try and reinstall windows, see if that helps anything

drifting garnet
#

ok

muted patio
#

The boot device should say UEFI next to it

drifting garnet
#

It is in UEFI

#

So all good there.

#

I will tell him to try reinstalling the drives.

muted patio
#

Well, is it in EFI mode or does the actualy boot device say UEFI?

drifting garnet
#

UEFI

muted patio
#

k

drifting garnet
#

oh crap

#

He just told me it was his first time using his new 5800x with the motherboard, wtf.

#

Probably a bios update.

#

is needed

little osprey
#

What mobo?

small osprey
#

oh he didnt bios update

drifting garnet
#

Pretty much.

small osprey
#

tell him to flash the bios

drifting garnet
#

ok

muted patio
#

LMAO

#

the important details lol

little osprey
#

Some motherboards come pre-updated tho right?

muted patio
#

not yet

little osprey
#

Ik the x570 Asus tuf wifi is

#

Ahh ok

wanton cliff
#

Well there is your problem

#

I said a BIOS update would probably work

#

Well, not with a new cpu in already

#

But still

earnest olive
#

many zen 2 chips are able to do >1800 fclk

wanton cliff
#

Doesn’t mean they will benefit

drifting garnet
#

I am almost elite

earnest olive
#

benefit may be small but there will still be a benefit unless you have to destroy your timings for more frequency

stoic island
#

1900mhz is usually the max people get

muted patio
#

Ye, except new AGESA supposed to make 2000 more stable

earnest olive
#

on zen 3

stoic island
#

We're talking zen 2 I think

earnest olive
#

not on zen 2

muted patio
#

OH

#

Ye, not Zen 2

#

1900 is about the max

#

Unless you super lucky person

earnest olive
#

i'm completely stable at 1900 but 1933 won't boot

#

and i know that these ram modules are capable of 4333 decoupled

#

so it's just the cpu not being able to do >1900

stoic island
#

fun

drifting garnet

STONK THEM NOW!!!

Lol

drifting garnet
muted patio
drifting garnet
#

alrighty

muted patio
#

CPU drivers, Download now

#

Might be a BIOS setting also but not sure you can disable cores there

earnest olive
#

what cpu has a base speed of 4.4?

drifting garnet
#

So he probably has to get Ryzen master right?

earnest olive
#

or is that oc

drifting garnet
#

OC

#

He overclocked it as soon as he got it.

earnest olive
#

anyways I believe this specific issue is actually a windows setting

#

give me a moment to find it

drifting garnet
#

Is Ryzen Master even worth getting if your not overclocking or anything?

earnest olive
#

try this:

run msconfig, go to the boot tab, go to advanced options, uncheck "select number of processors", restart system

#

see if all cores are showing up

drifting garnet
#

ok

earnest olive
#

ryzen master isn't particularly useful to keep around even if you are overclocking

muted patio
#

Don't need ryzen master

earnest olive
#

it's useful for testing different overclocks before putting it in bios settings

muted patio
#

Just the drivers from them lol

drifting garnet
#

When you go to drivers and software for his CPU, AMD Ryzen Master is the only thing that comes up.

earnest olive
#

what cpu is it

#

try what I said first I've seen this exact issue before

drifting garnet
#

5800x

muted patio
#

Power plans, etc

boreal quiver
#

Does anybody have good ideas for a pc that's mid end that I'll be able to upgrade for around 1000

#

Or 1100?

muted patio
#

and do the Processor check also

#

Do both things

earnest olive
#

power plans are from chipset driver

drifting garnet
#

That says Radeon drivers, those aren't for CPU.

muted patio
#

-_-

#

It will work

#

I did it for mine

#

Ignore the Radeon

#

"For systems with AMD Ryzenβ„’ Chipsets, AMD Radeonβ„’ Graphics, AMD Radeon Pro Graphics, and AMD Processors with Radeon Graphics Only"

drifting garnet
earnest olive
#

drivers are for chipset not cpu

#

follow the link I just sent please

drifting garnet
#

Ok, I'm not sure if he even installed any drivers yet, I will ask.

#

He can also get the chipset driver from the motherboard website because I did that with mine and I have the same motherboard as him.

#

He says he broke his computer again so I don't even know wtf he is doing.

#

He's a little special

earnest olive
#

is there something wrong with the link I sent? like what is the point of willfully avoiding it

drifting garnet
#

no

#

he can do either one

#

He probably needs to go to the motherboard website anyway because he probably hasn't installed a single driver for the motherboard yet.

earnest olive
#

amd.com is more likely to be up to date

drifting garnet
#

ok

#

I will tell him to get it from AMD then.

wanton cliff
#

TFW chat is dead

little osprey
#

How many vga cables do I need to 3080 fe?

muted patio
#

no VGA cables

#

I think it's 1 HDMI

#

and 3 displayport

drifting garnet
#

Imagine spending all that money on a GPU and having a VGA monitor. kekw

little osprey
#

Or whatever the cable is called to power the gpu

#

I thought they were vga

drifting garnet
#

PCIe power cable

muted patio
#

Oh, the power cable

#

2 of them

#

Needs to be two separate cables, not one cable with two ends

drifting garnet
#

that's 2+6 right?

little osprey
#

Alright thank you !

muted patio
#

Ye, 6+2

#

YW

drifting garnet
#

ok

#

I know something for once

wanton cliff
#

Only because I mentioned it to you earlier with talk of the CPU power cable

little osprey
#

Ok another question which one do I use while I wait for 3080 fe to drop

#

Nvm none of them have hdmi

wanton cliff
#

Lmao

#

None of them can even render the Windows 10 GUI I don’t think lol

drifting garnet
#

Do u think any of those would be good to put in my dads HP Pavillion Elite? It is from like 2010.

#

or 2009.

little osprey
#

No idea

drifting garnet
#

I might build another PC with my dad because he needs to upgrade from that old HP.

#

Although it still works ok.

#

And has SSD.

#

So not too bad.

#

But it is a Phenom 2.

little osprey
#

As of 3 days ago anyways from what I saw on pcpp

Can’t be much different than iOS right?

#

i dont even use ios πŸ˜‚

but like its not as intuitive as ios

generally i think that a lot of stuff that is considered basic in Samsung or windows devices is pretty complicated on ios and mac os

like with viewing files and settigns and stuff

and the keyboard
