Everything is lighting up and everything but I’m not getting signal and I tried another GPU

fossil halo
#

did that work?

left shore
#

Nope

fossil halo
#

um

#

ig the first thing to try

#

is

#

reseating the ram

#

push the ram all the way in

#

is this ur first build?

left shore
#

Ok ok I’ll try that

#

Someone else put the ram in so maybe

#

And no

fossil halo
#

and dont feel scared to push the ram hard

#

apply pressure on both ends of the stick

#

until u see the tabs on the side spring back up

#

looks to be the same mobo that i have

#

gigabyte b550m ds3h

ripe wedge
zealous edge
#

Anyone know of the app called salad??

left shore

I reseated it and nothing

fossil halo

Shouldn’t work with the mobo thing

fossil halo

Monitor*

left shore

I tried 2 monitors

#

And CPU is seated properly

fossil halo
#

oof

#

zealous edge
#

Ok hold on.

fossil halo
#

i literally prepared to build a pc for 6 months

before i did

zealous edge
#

Unplug the gpu

Completely

left shore

I did that already

zealous edge
#

From the pc please.

Boot straight from Cpu

If you have one.

fossil halo
#

eternxl

zealous edge
#

Is your ram in slots a1 and b1?

zealous edge
fossil halo
#

that shouldn't mater

left shore
#

I plugged a keyboard and the lights don’t turn on either

zealous edge
#

Sometimes it does.

fossil halo
#

did u plug in usb?

zealous edge
#

The motherboard looks for a1 and b1 sequence first

#

Then a2 and b2

#

It can matter

fossil halo
#

mine is in a1 and b1 i think

left shore
#

I could try switching slots

zealous edge
#

Is your pcie power cable connected properly from the PSU itself?

left shore
#

And how come when I turn the PC off these lights stay on

#

And yeah It’s a normal PSU

zealous edge
#

Normal?

fossil halo
zealous edge
#

Semi-Modulat

#

Modular?

left shore
#

No

Non modular

It will reset Bios

left shore

Have you done it?

left shore
#

Yes

zealous edge

ripe wedge
#

yeah my bad it was a different shawn. lol

#

wait yeah

zealous edge
#

O lol

fossil halo

fast dust
#

im possibly going to be doing a build for a customer that uses Autocad, any idea on what id need hardware-wise for that?

fossil halo
#

ouch

#

my mans really just tried

ripe wedge
fossil halo
#

probably a 3070 should do jsut fine

ripe wedge
left shore
#

Why did pc parts picker not tell me

ripe wedge
#

I think autocad uses more ram tho iirc

blissful aspen
#

it wont pop up

left shore
#

Smh

fossil halo
#

@left shore i think the move rn is to return the b550

fast dust
#

is saw on their page that they reccommend a quadro rather than a regular card, should I?

fossil halo
#

and get a b450

fast dust
#

i know nothing about quadros

fossil halo
#

or return the r5 2600 and get a 3600

#

quadro is mad expensive

ripe wedge
stoic island
#
fossil halo
#

a 3070 will do just fine

stoic island
#

like look at the "for macOS" bit, like core2duo lmao

fast dust
#

exactly, suspicious

blissful aspen
#

Minimun requirements

viral ore
#

inventor isnt all that demanding

ripe wedge
#

yeah those specs look awful

stoic island
#

anyways

fast dust
#

think like a uhhh, 10400 and... 1080 would work well?

viral ore
#

10400 would do it

fast dust
#

maybe a 1650 super if im feelin cheap

fossil halo
#

@left shore so i think the move here is either to change out the b550 to a b450 but the more expensive, but better fix is to replace the r5 2600 with a later processor

ripe wedge
#

1650 super seems too cheap

viral ore
#

maybe see if theres anything else he is using the system for

fast dust
#

it says it favors clockspeed

ripe wedge
#

maybe 10400 + 1660 super with 32gb ram

stoic island
fast dust
#

1660 super hard to find

#

would maybe want used 1070 instead

stoic island
#

10700k+Quadro P2200 eh

fast dust
#

?

ripe wedge
#

whats the customers budget?

zealous edge
#

My ram is in b1 and a1 but its still running in duel channel

fast dust
#

they literaly didnt give me a budget

blissful aspen
#

a2 b2

ripe wedge
stoic island
#

Did you ask them if they want to spend 1k or 2k on the machine?

ripe wedge
#

lol

fast dust
#

jsut said "text me when you get a good configuration for an autocad build"

zealous edge
#

Its running in duel channel still lmak

stoic island
#

lmao

zealous edge
#

Thats what cpu z says

#

Aorus z390 pro wifi

#

Lmao

stoic island
#

P2200 is surprisingly weak in terms of like raster perf

#

just that professional grade drivers and optimizations ig

zealous edge
#

1111

stoic island
#

wat

zealous edge
#

Whats happening lol

ripe wedge
#

if you can find an rtx Q 4000 id get something like that

zealous edge
#

My ram is in a1 b1

stoic island
#

yes

#

that is dual channel

zealous edge
#

Still says duel channel

stoic island
#

what about it

#

it's supposed to be dual channel

zealous edge
#

Isn't it a2 b2?

#

Lol

stoic island
#

what

#

here's the thing

#

A is one channel, B is another

#

one stick in a channel, one stick in another

#

boom, dual channel

zealous edge
#

Does it matter which number tho?

#

Or nah?

stoic island
#

Yes, motherboard usually recommend you fill in 2 of the slots first

#

but it can still run dual channel with the other 2 slots spaced 1 slot apart

zealous edge
#

Am I losing performance?

ripe wedge
#

no

#

dual channel is fine

zealous edge
#

Yea ik that

#

But a1 and b1

ripe wedge
#

but running 2 sticks doesnt mean you lose performance

zealous edge
#

Instead of a2 b2

blissful aspen
#

Idk two builds today the motherboard said a2 b2

#

We did*

fast dust
#

1 is filled slot 0 is empty slot
0101
thats how ur ram should be

zealous edge
#

Yeap

#

Thats how it is lol

#

I mean 1010

fast dust
#

thats ok too

viral ore
zealous edge
#

I works fine, I just might have some ocd, might change it but idk

fast dust
#

sassy

zealous edge
#

If ot doesn't effect anything there's no point

fast dust
#

i know nothing about quadros

#

which ones are pascal

ripe wedge
#

pascal is 900 series?

viral ore
#

the Pxxxx ones

#

so like P1000

#

P6000

#

P620

ripe wedge
#

no pascal is 10xx

#

lol

fast dust
ripe wedge
#

yeah

viral ore
#

yeah, but i dont think they are gonna priced reasonably new

ripe wedge
#

I wonder how much they are on the used market

#

how much is a new rtx 4000?

fast dust
#

900

zealous edge
#

Sassy

viral ore
#

and it performs like a 2060 KEKW

zealous edge
#

Should I switch my ram lol

#

In paranoid

#

Lmao

blissful aspen
#

Ya

zealous edge
#

From a1 b1 to a2 b2

blissful aspen
#

Group vote

#

This man switches his ram slots

ripe wedge
# fast dust so all these?

honestly just tell the customer that you dont know what would be best for him because the price range varies so much from a decent cad computer to the best cad computer

viral ore
#

it really depends on the models hes making

ripe wedge
#

that too

#

if they are extremely complex he will need a lot of vram

viral ore
#

if hes designing full blown buildings to show to clients, then he gonna need a few K

#

if this is for a workshop

#

then it dont matter what gpu he uses

next kestrel

What are you using the PC for? Gaming?

#

Going to start gaming would like to learn to video editing I’m going to stream

#

What would you edit? Game footage?

sick token
#

Yes, also go pro footage

#

I think about $2,000 should work if you get current gen parts (they are out of stock though) 3080 and 5900x

sick token
#

I’m looking at 3080 online some places are asking $1,300

little osprey
#

scalpers uh

pliant lake
#

That’s the out of stock aspect, there’s a lot of scalpers, the FE goes for $700 and AIBs go up to 1,000 starting at $700

Where can I find this price at?

ripe wedge
wanton cliff
#

And by back I mean gone

ripe wedge
#

yep but lets not get too deep into that because its political

pliant lake
#

FE is still $700

ripe wedge
#

yeah but good luck finding a FE

wanton cliff
#

Politics is influencing this, doesn’t necessarily mean it is political

ripe wedge
#

if it literally has anything to do with the president its considered political

wanton cliff
#

I mean

#

I’m not saying that any part of politics right now are good or bad

#

That would be going political, which would be breaking the rules

#

By all means, any mod can correct me right now

#

But still

sick token
#

I picked a bad time to get into computer gaming

ripe wedge
#

yep

#

covid messed everything up

#

demand for pc parts are up

wanton cliff
#

Plus this is the biggest generational leap in years

#

So everyone is trying to profit off of it

sick token
#

So what’s next best graphics card available?

#

Since 3080 out of pic

wanton cliff
#

Nothing lol

#

Not in the last couple generations

#

Most recent graphics generation that isn’t being massively scalped is 4 years old and on it’s last legs

little osprey
#

you can find this card if you try to catch it for a while

#

1 waiting for a month 😂

wanton cliff
#

Doing a 3070 build tomorrow with a friend of mine

#

We are going to do janken to see who gets the build XD

little osprey
#

I seen gigabyte 3070vision for 650 at local store . is it worth it 🤔 since fe is just for 500

blissful aspen
#

id buy that asap

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

oh . I didn't like its looks to be honest . fe is looking awesome

wanton cliff
#

Vision has one of the best coolers and some of the best clock speeds IIRC

#

Second to EVGA FTW and XC3 cards I believe

little osprey
#

hmm 🤔 got me think about it

#

since its hard to catch FE

wanton cliff
#

Which store?

#

Not near Chicago I hope?

little osprey
#

it's just local store

wanton cliff
#

Yeah true

Ok, my friend just bought one for 350$ single fan and I was trying to give him my GTX 1070

little osprey
#

lol

#

rip

#

I wonder why 16series gone too

wanton cliff
#

Because you can still make money off those

#

Still relevant cards

little osprey
#

16series is good cards actually . i think they need bring it back to stock

ripe wedge
#

oof single fans are the worst

#

Opinion on this : MSI Radeon RX 6800 Triple-Fan

ripe wedge
#

little osprey

wanton cliff

The RDNA2 cards are absolutely amazing

I think thats a good price but let me look that up

Micro center in Tustin Ca

wanton cliff
ripe wedge
#

dont forget the tariff

wanton cliff
#

True

#

H8 tariffs

ripe wedge
#

yeah I mean thats not a terrible price

little osprey
#

i think you can pre order at microcenter store

sick token
#

It says unavailable online

wanton cliff
ripe wedge
#

microcenter has better chances of getting cards in store

wanton cliff
#

Much better

little osprey
#

yeah if you are near to any microcenter store go check it out

Where do I buy a computer case?

blissful aspen
#

if you cant wait

#

best buy

wanton cliff
#

Basically anywhere you can buy computer parts

carmine canopy
#

Which one should I get?

wanton cliff
#

What budget?

#

And what do you want out of your case?

#

Aesthetic? RGB? Airflow? Space? A nice side panel? Water cooling priority? Air cooling priority?

carmine canopy
#

<$500

#

No RBG

wanton cliff
#

For the whole build or just the case

carmine canopy
#

RBG is for children

#

case

#

RGB*

#

I want minimal

blissful aspen
#

NZXT

carmine canopy
#

Air cooling. Maybe a CPU radiator later

wanton cliff
wanton cliff
#

The case itself is better for water cooling

carmine canopy
#

Are them fans the best?

wanton cliff
#

It doesn’t come with fans

#

You have to buy those separate

#

Like on 99% of cases

clever eagle
wanton cliff
#

Looks nice

#

Never heard of the brand tho

clever eagle
#

Of course you haven't that's basically ebay

#

Also it's probably horiible

#

It covers HDR 100

#

#

Somehow

#

Colour accuracy=2%

wanton cliff
#

Unfortunate

#

Can’t imagine the PPI is the best either

I know

Id rather buy ROG tv or lg ultragear *******950

what m.2 ssd is functional in the m.2_2 port of a z490-e mobo? turns out WD blue 1 TB is not due to it using a SATA III

frank viper
wanton cliff
#

The only workaround is catching one during a drop on Best Buy, or joining the lottery on Newegg

muted patio
#

M.2_1 supports SATA M.2

muted patio
#

yes

chilly hazel
#

i should also probably go with a different brand entirely so i see the difference... unless i rename my current one now before installing second wd blue

stoic island
#

Any m.2 key M drive should be NVMe

#

and B+M gets you the sata m.2 bois

Which is why I don't answer if someone says..... " Any XYZ experts around?

Like the guy in graphics card yesterday with an issue.

#

I asked for event viewer info to diagnose. They said it was an issue nVidia admitted to and wouldn't do anything so I just bounced

hollow grail
#

lul

muted patio
#

You come asking for help and then say nothing can be done so......good luck!

gleaming quartz
#

yeah some people are just stubborn like that

hollow grail
#

i should start charging if its more than a 15 min fix

#

tbh

muted patio
#

Pretty sure it was just a driver issue

#

Some other third party program causing a crash

#

But I guess they'd rather wait then get it fixed XD

cunning sundial
#

It's time!

wanton cliff
#

Nice

muted patio
#

I have same card. You're gonna like

wanton cliff
#

My friend got one of the MSI ones

#

Going to be doing a build with him later with it

cunning sundial
#

It's a miracle that I got this one, rolled up to Microcenter for a new M.2 and they had 100 people in line outside. A big shipment came in and they didn't even update the site.

little osprey
#

does reinstalling graphics drivers fix vram issues?

#

i found out my display artifact wasnt from cable but the problem was from the card

#

just ran a test on occt and found millions of errors

coarse current
#

is the ventus 3070 good?

#

and my cable management

muted patio
#

No, driver won't fix that

#

Card needs to be RMA'd

#

WHile ago

little osprey
#

oh nice

chilly hazel
#

i have two exhaust fans, one located top back like usual, one located on top of case towards back, so they kinda create an L shape. I saw someone recommend rpm of 900-950 if you only have 1 exhaust. since I have two, is 650-700 rpm ok to keep fans on the quite side?

small osprey
#

sure

random prairie
#

hey uhh i broke the pcie plastic retention thing

#

how do i get a new one'

stoic island
#

If you broke the slot off, there's no easy way to replace it

random prairie
#

no the thing on the side

little osprey
#

oh

#

the clip on the motherboard

random prairie
#

this thing

#

i looked everywhere for a new one

stoic island
#

It's usually a single piece with the pcie slot, and the pcie slot doesn't usually get replaced..

random prairie
#

so can i just shove it back in

little osprey
#

you can

#

just make sure you screw it

#

does ur motherboard cost a lot

random prairie
#

where do i screw it

little osprey
#

no i mean

#

you really cant replace that

stoic island
#

it may or may not fall out without the tab thing

little osprey
#

it cant fall out if its screwed in

#

idk what its called

stoic island
#

It could slide around and cause bad contact

little osprey
#

ph

#

oh

random prairie
#

i just dropped under my couch

#

brb

little osprey
#

i was having vram errors

#

before

#

i tested with occt

#

and now i dont

#

..?

#

i just took out my video card

random prairie
#

wel;l i mean i have my gpu in

little osprey
#

and wiped dust off the golden pins

#

then i put it back in

#

and now theres no errors

random prairie
#

but the lights arent on and fans no spin

little osprey
#

guess i dont have to go through rma

#

uh

random prairie
#

oh well time to game

little osprey
#

its connected to power yes

#

?

random prairie
#

yes

little osprey
#

oh

#

oh well

random prairie
#

but light no brrrrr

little osprey
#

this is pretty weird

random prairie
little osprey
#

no more vram errors just from wiping some dust off

random prairie
#

i can still game on it

little osprey
#

hmmm

stoic island
#

dunno if that card has rgb

random prairie
#

no its white

#

it worked before for like 1 sec

little osprey
#

eh

random prairie
#

then the fans turned off and the lights did to

little osprey
#

yeah dust is the issue

#

it doesnt let the currents pas

#

pass

#

from the golden contacts

#

whew

random prairie
#

i took it out couple hours ago

#

no dust

#

i could take it out again

#

and clean it

#

with a napkin or something

stoic island
#

As long as the GPU works, lights don't really matter

random prairie
#

and fans no spin

little osprey
#

oh i was talking to myself btw

stoic island
#

usually rgb is powered from pcie slot tho

#

fans not spinning under low load is a feature

random prairie
#

really

stoic island
#

put it through furmark for an actual test if you want

little osprey
#

wait

#

the fans dont spin

#

??

random prairie
#

ok wanna hop into a call cause i dont know what the heck your saying]

little osprey
#

wait

stoic island
#

Nah no vc for me

little osprey
#

your saying ur gpu fan doesnt spin

#

?

random prairie
#

yea

#

it stay still

stoic island
#

It's usually a feature for the fans not to spin when under low load/at low temps

random prairie
#

its go up to fifty

#

c

stoic island
#

yes

little osprey
#

is there still display

random prairie
#

yep

little osprey
#

oh

stoic island
#

Just go run furmark

little osprey
#

hm

stoic island
#

stress test

little osprey
#

do you have afterburner installed

#

?

random prairie
#

ok i install that

little osprey
#

ok

stoic island
#

@little osprey afterburner fan control is messy

little osprey
#

ik

stoic island
#

it seems it doesn't work half the time

little osprey
#

im just testing if his fans work or not

#

my fan still spins

stoic island
#

might as well just dump a heavy load on it

little osprey
#

even though its at idle

random prairie
#

ok brb imma try to get furmark

little osprey
#

u can do that too

#

heavy load

#

if still doesnt spin

#

well

#

theres problems then

stoic island
#

my GPU fans just won't respond to afterburner

little osprey
#

weird

#

lol

stoic island
#

and my GPU fans don't spin until ~60c

little osprey
#

i just put my fans to automatic

#

wtf

#

oh well

stoic island
#

well, more like 55 or something

#

and no matter what fan control software I use, it goes to 100% above 68-70c

random prairie
#

which one

stoic island
#

prob some hardware failsafe that's annoying for me

random prairie
little osprey
#
