like A320 with bios update can get a 3700x in there
Is scalped to them.
1030s are 100 dollars
for some models now
WHAT
MSRP was 80
thats dumb
at that point id just buy a gt 710
No PBO on A320 though. Do those even boost? I can't remember
at least gddr5 not ddr4 lol
was evga the only maker who tried on heatsink
I REMEMBER THAT DDR4 NVIDIA PULLED
who the hell is bto
Like some 1030s had such bad performance
IDK
Found it on amazon lol
some 1030 have dd4 tho xd
Let me guess
Anything with color
and pc world
scalpers will buy
2 grand for a 6800xt 
might as well save it and buy a 3080/3090 when stock actually comes back
the pcie 1x cards actually bang tho
PCIE Gen x4 
have used so many of those
Can u pick up thermal paste at the grocery store?
I sorta want to get extra in case i will need it
toothpaste
honestly tho just go on amazon or newegg and buy MX4
Any card can be 1x if you own a dremel
did u see the quadro i posted
The abrasiveness might just rub the cpu lol
ddr3 lmao
no
I mean it will display your screen well
lol
@celest horizon
oh ya i saw that
its so funny lol
I think I saw that on reddit, or you posted the thread
i had quadro like that xd
OH I WAS WATCHING A PC BUILD IN CLASS
They were like, watch this guy build a pc
"How to install PCIE x16"
and they inserted that into a HP case
No
CIsco
i have a pic of the build
I was making it into a meme
Yep
"Cisco PCIE
Yes there was a rusted IDE connection in one lmao
CPU cooler is diagonal
cable management is bleh

Im going to be honest
what does dell stand for?
I know HP stands for Hard Pass
i see
Forky has pixel pfps
i see it now
Annoying but oh well
Otherwise
@celest horizon someone asked the sub what to do with a 1 bay nas and this answer killed me "Improvised moisture sensor: put it outside and set up monitoring. When it drops off your network, it’s probably raining."
no I thought it meant horrible product
wow and theres me who thought it stood for hewlett packard
imagine
makes sense tho
i have this hp box thing
they think its a laptop 
well i mean now that i have an actual laptop i am allowed to call that hp thing a piece of 💩
240w psu
LMFAO
i mean
my dad built his custom pc
in like
2010
has a pentium
1gb of corsair ddr3 ram
some video card with a video out i have never seen in my life beofre
and some 450w power supply which looks like it will go
soon
wait why is that emote called kenzie
we dont speak of kenzie
I think it should be renamed to :n1goboom:
ajit pai
Can someone help me plz lmao I have no idea what’s wrong with my system
Are thermaltake cases good?
what is the issue
i probably cant help but someone with a yellow name should
Ok well I just built this PC
Everything connected
But I’m not posting
Fans spinning
Yeah
gpu fans spinning?
No but I feel the GPU getting warm and I plugged in another GPU and I think the blower was spinning
like if rgb is the rgb lighting up
Everything is lighting up and everything but I’m not getting signal and I tried another GPU
did that work?
Nope
um
ig the first thing to try
is
reseating the ram
push the ram all the way in
is this ur first build?
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
thermaltake is janky
Anyone know of the app called salad??
I reseated it and nothing
good motherboard except for the gigabyte part
make sure that the 24 pin power cable is plugged in all the way
this one genuinely needs a lot of force
I tried that too
I took your the CPU connector too
Ok well
No there’s not
rgb is actually rather helpful while building
Metro wait
Yeah?
What problem r u having?
his pc
No signal to monitor?
fans are running and stuff
Yes
Well I can’t tell if it’s posting without monitor signal
wait is ur monitor on 
Yeah
i actually got really lucky
my pc didnt even fail once
Something isn't plugged in correctly
try using a different port
The back please.
Use a different port on the gpu first
where the ports are
try hdmi or displayport
Plug into mobo
Are you using an adapter??
No
Yeah
Auto.
I had my computer plugged in to it a second ago and it worked
Alright.
Ok
Let me know what happens then
Have you tried a different monitor
the cpu should be sideways
Shouldn’t work with the mobo thing
underneath the cooler
Monitor*
Ok hold on.
I did that already
Ok
Font plug it in
Boot straight from Cpu
But
You don't have an igpu
On that processor.
No
Is your ram in slots a1 and b1?
Got it.
that shouldn't mater
I plugged a keyboard and the lights don’t turn on either
Sometimes it does.
did u plug in usb?
mine is in a1 and b1 i think
Metro
Is your pcie power cable connected properly from the PSU itself?
Normal?
check ur power button connection
its got ketchup and mustard
And look
pretty sure its non moudlar
Ok listen.
@stoic island
tldr this dude built his pc and his fans and everything is spinning
We are going to the out that battery that you see beside your ram
but its not posting
It’s off
Take out the psu cable
And it doesn’t turn those lights off
I can turn the lights off when I shut off the whole PSU but otherwise they stay ok idk why
Ok
It will reset Bios
Ok
Yes
Ok
Yes
How do I do that?
Keep it our for 1 minuite
There is a metal tab, push it and the battery will pop up
On the right side.
And then use your hand to pull it out
Keep it oit for 60 seconds
Ok
Wait 60
yes then try and boot it
honestly try that next
Let me try changing the ram around to slot 1 and 3
yeah
1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4
Why
Do not.
Why
Is the battery in?
Yes
try and boot
Ok
We try ram next.
ram comes after
This should work.
yeah
did it boot?
if its just sitting there try and give it like 3 minutes
sometimes the boot process can take a bit longer
Lol
but there is no feeling as good as helping someone boot their pc
says hes offline
BRUH
maybe it did boot and he was like yeet im out
I’m not
Lol
I just appear offline
So?
And nope nothing
Everything is spinning
try switching the ram out now
Can you please turn on your monitor and send a pic.
make sure to remember to power down and unplug
oof
Ok
Of the optilns
lmfao
Lol it’s not the settings trust me
Dw.
Still gonna try.
Wall
ah ok
Well it shouldn't make a difference.
But last time I was in a wall
it can though
Ok
Nothing happening
Try the other
whats the problem
No signal to monitor
pc on?
@muted patio Any bright ideas?
is the PC on
Ofc..
Yeah
Yes.
All fans moving
b450m ds3h
@blissful aspen didnt u get banned from the server?
LMFAO
no? wtf
B550M ds3h
WAIT
oh must have been a different shawn
bro thats hella random
WAIT
chekc the cpu pwr cable
I did
problem 4 pins or 8pins
bro
I unplugged it and plugged it back in
b550 is not meant to run 2nd gen ryzen
Wait fr?
O lol
b550 is zen 2 and above
b550 doesnt support zen 2
afaik
That's why.
welp
gg
thats an F
i just looked it up on pcpartpicker bro no compatibilty
and thats why im a intel guy
can we stop typing
what
and get
Intel is even worse
F
Wait fr?
yea
im possibly going to be doing a build for a customer that uses Autocad, any idea on what id need hardware-wise for that?
depends on how complex his models are
probably a 3070 should do jsut fine
eh maybe but the vram
Why did pc parts picker not tell me
I think autocad uses more ram tho iirc
it wont pop up
Smh
@left shore i think the move rn is to return the b550
is saw on their page that they reccommend a quadro rather than a regular card, should I?
and get a b450
i know nothing about quadros
@fast dust
@fast dust recommended specs look so low, it's weird

a 3070 will do just fine
like look at the "for macOS" bit, like core2duo lmao
exactly, suspicious
Minimun requirements
inventor isnt all that demanding
yeah those specs look awful
think like a uhhh, 10400 and... 1080 would work well?
10400 would do it
maybe a 1650 super if im feelin cheap
@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
1650 super seems too cheap
maybe see if theres anything else he is using the system for
it says it favors clockspeed
maybe 10400 + 1660 super with 32gb ram
@fast dust o found a pugetsystems page
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Best-Workstation-PC-for-AutoCAD-Summer-2020-1826/
10700k+Quadro P2200 eh
?
whats the customers budget?
My ram is in b1 and a1 but its still running in duel channel
they literaly didnt give me a budget
a2 b2
then get him a quadro rtx 4000
Did you ask them if they want to spend 1k or 2k on the machine?
lol
jsut said "text me when you get a good configuration for an autocad build"
Its running in duel channel still lmak
lmao
P2200 is surprisingly weak in terms of like raster perf
just that professional grade drivers and optimizations ig
1111
wat
Whats happening lol
if you can find an rtx Q 4000 id get something like that
My ram is in a1 b1
Still says duel channel
what
here's the thing
A is one channel, B is another
one stick in a channel, one stick in another
boom, dual channel
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
Am I losing performance?
but running 2 sticks doesnt mean you lose performance
Instead of a2 b2
1 is filled slot 0 is empty slot
0101
thats how ur ram should be
thats ok too
after some research, get a pascal based quadro
I works fine, I just might have some ocd, might change it but idk
sassy
If ot doesn't effect anything there's no point
pascal is 900 series?
so all these?
yeah
yeah, but i dont think they are gonna priced reasonably new
Sassy
and it performs like a 2060 
Ya
From a1 b1 to a2 b2
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
it really depends on the models hes making
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
Hi
Hello looking for a graphics card that has a VGA port and 3 HDMI ports what would you suggest?
3 hdmi is gonna be hard
Only 5 over retail price so not too bad.
gt710 had a 4 hdmi port version
Not sure it performs over other 1650's.
yea just bought it so
more the better lol
ok
thx u
Anyone have an ALIENWARE 38 CURVED GAMING MONITOR - AW3821DW ? I’m interested in a build for this monitor but I don’t know exactly what would be best/ reasonable price. #noobiehere
nachos I think they just want to hear about the monitor not buy one second hand lol
shh
Imagine
The chat has been dead for 20 minutes +
Rest in piece chat
Anyone who needs computer help, ping me
Great monitor, around $1500 new would be a good price..
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?
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
I’m looking at 3080 online some places are asking $1,300
scalpers 
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
3080 MSRP is only $700, don’t buy from scalpers
Where can I find this price at?
msrp went up
Tariffs are being brought back soon (thanks Biden)
And by back I mean gone
yep but lets not get too deep into that because its political
FE is still $700
yeah but good luck finding a FE
Politics is influencing this, doesn’t necessarily mean it is political
if it literally has anything to do with the president its considered political
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
I picked a bad time to get into computer gaming
Plus this is the biggest generational leap in years
So everyone is trying to profit off of it
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
Doing a 3070 build tomorrow with a friend of mine
We are going to do janken to see who gets the build XD
I seen gigabyte 3070vision for 650 at local store . is it worth it 🤔 since fe is just for 500
id buy that asap
yeah
thats a rarer card
Yeah, vision is really high quality
oh . I didn't like its looks to be honest . fe is looking awesome
Vision has one of the best coolers and some of the best clock speeds IIRC
Second to EVGA FTW and XC3 cards I believe
Damn
Delaware xd
Double darn
Bots
Multiple GPU units available as follows:
Asus Dual 3060 Ti - $800
Asus Dual 3070 - $850
EVGA XC3 ULTRA - $900
Gigabyte Vision 3070 WHITE - $900
Asus ROG STRIX 3070 - $1100
Near me prices
Yeaaaaaaaaaah
Drops happen on Best Buy once every week or two
See if you can get one within the milliseconds they are available
which is I never caught 😂
they can be in stock at microcenter
if there's some near you
Yeah true
I’m heading out to Chicago tomorrow
Right next to a Micro Center
Should bring a couple hundred bucks
See if I can’t get a 3080
all of those prices arnt amazing
my only chance is newegg xd almost caught it 2 days ago
The lottery just was released
1660 super for $350 good or no?
So good luck
No
Ok, my friend just bought one for 350$ single fan and I was trying to give him my GTX 1070
16series is good cards actually . i think they need bring it back to stock
oof single fans are the worst
Opinion on this : MSI Radeon RX 6800 Triple-Fan
price?
amd graphics are not the best but its better than nothing xd
Gib price
AMD drivers*
$609.99
The RDNA2 cards are absolutely amazing
A bit expensive
I think thats a good price but let me look that up
Micro center in Tustin Ca
MSRP is $489 iirc
dont forget the tariff
yeah I mean thats not a terrible price
i think you can pre order at microcenter store
It says unavailable online
I would buy it if it had dedicated video encoders tbh
meaning in store only
microcenter has better chances of getting cards in store
Much better
yeah if you are near to any microcenter store go check it out
Where do I buy a computer case?
Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy, Micro Center
Basically anywhere you can buy computer parts
Which one should I get?
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?
For the whole build or just the case
NZXT
Air cooling. Maybe a CPU radiator later
No
Lian Li O11, get a bunch of Noctua fans though
The case itself is better for water cooling
Are them fans the best?
Of course you haven't that's basically ebay
Also it's probably horiible
It covers HDR 100
10
Somehow
Colour accuracy=2%
I probably wouldnt suggest buying that
Why is the chat so dead today
🤔
Has anyone got any experience with Ryzen APU for 3D CAD work ? any good at all ?
amd 
Nvidia Shield is pretty good too
For work in CAD, you probably aren’t going to get much from an APU.
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
Thank you the answer, was trying to find a work around with this GPU shortage
The only workaround is catching one during a drop on Best Buy, or joining the lottery on Newegg
PCI-E 3.0 M.2
M.2_1 supports SATA M.2
yes
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
Omg
I ordered a 3060 a couple weeks ago and it’s shipping around February 2
It’s my last part
@muted patio can we pin this lol https://sol.gfxile.net/dontask.html
Lol
XD
fr tho 
100% the truth
Which is why I don't answer if someone says..... " Any XYZ experts around?
Also, just an FYI, the kind of people that do that also don't read pinned messages
i know smh
XD
would still be nice to have
It would be an exercise in futility
i wanna slap ppl with a
well then you have the people who come back with “there’s no such thing as a dumb question” lol

just dumb people asking questions
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
lul
You come asking for help and then say nothing can be done so......good luck!
yeah some people are just stubborn like that
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
Nice
I have same card. You're gonna like
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.
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
You've ascended from 2060?
WHile ago
oh nice
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?
sure
If you broke the slot off, there's no easy way to replace it
no the thing on the side
It's usually a single piece with the pcie slot, and the pcie slot doesn't usually get replaced..
so can i just shove it back in
where do i screw it
it may or may not fall out without the tab thing
It could slide around and cause bad contact
i was having vram errors
before
i tested with occt
and now i dont
..?
i just took out my video card
wel;l i mean i have my gpu in
and wiped dust off the golden pins
then i put it back in
and now theres no errors
but the lights arent on and fans no spin
oh well time to game
yes
but light no brrrrr
this is pretty weird
no more vram errors just from wiping some dust off
i can still game on it
hmmm
dunno if that card has rgb
eh
then the fans turned off and the lights did to
yeah dust is the issue
it doesnt let the currents pas
pass
from the golden contacts
whew
i took it out couple hours ago
no dust
i could take it out again
and clean it
with a napkin or something
As long as the GPU works, lights don't really matter
and fans no spin
oh i was talking to myself btw
usually rgb is powered from pcie slot tho
fans not spinning under low load is a feature
really
put it through furmark for an actual test if you want
ok wanna hop into a call cause i dont know what the heck your saying]
wait
Nah no vc for me
It's usually a feature for the fans not to spin when under low load/at low temps
yes
is there still display
yep
oh
Just go run furmark
hm
stress test
ok i install that
ok
@little osprey afterburner fan control is messy
ik
it seems it doesn't work half the time
might as well just dump a heavy load on it
even though its at idle
ok brb imma try to get furmark
my GPU fans just won't respond to afterburner
and my GPU fans don't spin until ~60c
well, more like 55 or something
and no matter what fan control software I use, it goes to 100% above 68-70c
which one
prob some hardware failsafe that's annoying for me
lmao didn't even realize my adblocker has been blocking the start now button
