[ripe wedge]

ooga

[little osprey]

booga

[stoic island]

its '||spoiler stuff||

[visual dawn]

i can't stop clicking on things. lol if i had a big red button, i'd smack that

[stoic island]

that's what I think of

[visual dawn]

lol mine would be "return"

[hollow lily]

||ce car||

[visual dawn]

Mac^

ca car?

[stoic island]

tbh

if you ever want a good keyboard for mac and/or windows

Keychron

[hollow lily]

means ce car

[visual dawn]

oh hell no! I like my flat keys

[uncut pelican]

Can someone recommend some good rgb cable extensions because I need better fps

[stoic island]

flat keys?

[visual dawn]

they don't sit up like classic windows keyboards.

[stoic island]

K1 is low profile with pretty flat keycaps :D

sit up?

most keyboards let you choose if you want to incline it or not

[visual dawn]

I'm trying to describe the depth of the keys. I did a quite google of the keyboard and what came up was a regular keyboard. I'll try again

[stoic island]

They offer many different keyboards, some thicc, some smol

For example, this is their K1

[hollow lily]

is that the keychron kb

?

[stoic island]

That's a keychron keeb

This is the thicc one I have (k8)
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0059/0630/1017/t/5/assets/pf-d2a34777--KeychronK8tenkeylesswirelessmechanicalkeyboardforMacWindowsiOSwithHotswappablewithUSBCTypeCWiredcablemode_800x3000.gif?v=1593611664

but there's the "feet" at the bottom you can use to make it inclined or just lay flat

[visual dawn]

yea, those keys are huge

[stoic island]

@visual dawn anyways, reasoning is, keychron is good keeb in general, but the reason I brought it up was because of the easy Macos compatibility for layout and keys

[visual dawn]

i was surprised that i like my keys more like the mac keyboards

[stoic island]

and you can quickly switch to windows layout and keycaps if you want

[visual dawn]

I see

[stoic island]

Just something that's a side note really, since you used macOS and likely will use windows

@visual dawn what keyboard do you have right now?

[visual dawn]

Mac, wired, just gonna see if it works in the new tower

please tell me i don't need a new one.

[stoic island]

lol you might be fine

[visual dawn]

oh crap robey is hating on gigabyte....i have lots of that brand

[stoic island]

I mean, gigabyte is very average in general

nothing great, just decent, and recently that P-GM PSU that can blow up

[ashen girder]

The aorous boards sukk too

[stoic island]

wdymm

Aorus boards are kinda great

for B550 at least

[ashen girder]

I’ve had them fail

[stoic island]

Which board?

[visual dawn]

i have EVGA plat 750 psu. It seems like a good one

[stoic island]

plat, I'm guessing p2?

p2 is great

[visual dawn]

Platinum power supply

was it too small?

[stoic island]

Nah, was just curious about the model

[visual dawn]

ooh 750P2 yes

[stoic island]

g2/p2/t2 were the best PSUs they made

[visual dawn]

oh good! I didn't want it overheating and dying during a raid or heavy gaming.

what would happen if there's not enough power anyway?

[stoic island]

It will keep drawing, until one of the protections trips

[visual dawn]

so no warning?

[stoic island]

There are various protections on the PSU, for this, there's OCP, Over-Current-Protection, OPP, Over-Power-Protection, and OTP, Over-Temperature-Protection.

Well, they won't be set exactly at 750w

[little osprey]

I just got a 5900x, but something tells me I should of went for the 5950x. I do 3D artwork using Maya mostly. Should I resell the 5900x and get the 5950x? Is the extra worth it?

[stoic island]

usually a good bit over

@little osprey Well, you probably won't be able to find a 5950x easily anyways, I'd at least try using 5900x for a while

5900x is still quite a powerful chip

[little osprey]

I was offered one on reddit he's local

[visual dawn]

please be safe. (flashbacks of craigslist)

[robust vigil]

How do I fix this error?

[stoic island]

I mean, I would think maya might be able to take more use of GPU power, but at least try 5900x to start off

@robust vigil Do you have your CPU cooler plugged into CPU_Fan?

[muted patio]

Do you have an AIO?

[robust vigil]

Yes I have an aio

[muted patio]

Ah

Need to turn off CPU fan monitoring in the fan control section

[stoic island]

I'd plug the fans on the aio into CPU_Fan if possible, if not, you can disable the warning otherwise

[muted patio]

Or this

[visual dawn]

3 keyboards?

[robust vigil]

Not sure why it says that

[muted patio]

Nothing plugged into the CPU_Fan header is why

or possibly a 3 pin instead of 4 pin

[robust vigil]

My Aio is the NZXT Kraken Z73, which I think is a 3 pin

[muted patio]

Ah, change the fan port mode to DC instead of PWM

[robust vigil]

I have it plugged in Aio pump

[muted patio]

Where are your fans plugged in?

To the AIO as well?

[robust vigil]

I have a Corsair commander Pro and then 2 front case fans that are plugged into the Fractal fan hub

[muted patio]

Ah

Just disable the CPU_FAN monitoring in the BIOS then

[visual dawn]

question about robey tech, why would you want to "flash the bios" on the motherboard?

[robust vigil]

Ok

[muted patio]

memory/CPU support or updates

[visual dawn]

So when there's an update it'll flash? interesting

[muted patio]

No, you have to do it yourself

[stoic island]

You usually flash the bios in one of 3 situations

1. Need to update the bios to support new hardware
2. Need to update bios for software updates for stability
3. Need to flash the bios to un-brick your board

[robust vigil]

My mother board is the Asus Rog Maximus VIII Hero, would I find that under Advanced?

[brazen sphinx]

ooo whats happening here

[muted patio]

Yes, advanced section and Q Fan control and Monitoring

[little osprey]

I think I will just stick with what I have, there are some benefits but it's not worth the extra 250+

thanks guys

[stoic island]

@visual dawn Flashing the bios isn't something you do for fun, as there are risks behind it, for example, if your power cuts out mid-bios flashing, something could go wrong and your board might be bricked

[hexed prawn]

annnnd he's back

[brazen sphinx]

yes and then youll have to send it back to the mobo company all that annoying stuff ^

[visual dawn]

what is "bricked". so disabling the flashing of bios is more beneficial

[muted patio]

The odds of a BIOS flash going wrong are very, very low though

[muted patio]

Bricked means the flash went wrong and it no longer works

[brazen sphinx]

bricked is basically your mobo gets locked u cant do anything

[stoic island]

Bios flashing is an action you take, it's not really something you disable

[muted patio]

It's effectively a "brick"

[robust vigil]

I noticed under CPU Q-Fan Control, I have 3 options Auto Detect, DC Mode, and PWM Mode. Is this the right setting?

[stoic island]

@visual dawn the mobo being bricked means it's screwed up in some way, therefore being as useful as a "brick"

[muted patio]

Mmm, there should be a Monitor section somewhere

[hexed prawn]

Hey Vintage, I am taking this opportunity to pick out a new case, and I am planning for a GPU upgrade in the next month or two. What would you suggest I pair with this CPU and MOBO? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mHdXW3

[knotty relic]

It’s finally here

[stoic island]

nice

[visual dawn]

ok, that makes sense. so is it possible to unbrick it?

[hexed prawn]

(which GPU)

[brazen sphinx]

nice

[stoic island]

Rarely

So it's a situation you'd try to avoid

Sometimes you MIGHT be able to fix it if you have bios flashback or dual bios, and just flash on a new bios or swap to the other bios

[muted patio]

Ahk, it's under the Monitor tab itself

[brazen sphinx]

MIGHT

[robust vigil]

Is it CPU Fan Speed?

[muted patio]

Reading manual

stand by

yeah, disable the CPU Qfan control

wat

y

[visual dawn]

Thank you all for all your advice. I'm heading to bed. and I'll continue to search for a gpu while the rest of it arrives.

[scarlet gazelle]

yoo

if my apartment building gets struck by lighting and its on the carpet that could potnatially fry my pc or something right

o.0 what can i buy to avoid

[wanton cliff]

Surge protector

Plastic mat

[scarlet gazelle]

aye ty

oh darn so i really cant do anything about it besides unplugging each time

[hexed prawn]

I do NOT understand what is going on with GPU sales right now. It seems like the better cards are just $800+ and the cards that were good 5 years ago are still $400+

[stoic island]

@scarlet gazelle I mean, surge protector

[still roost]

LargeFarva#0337 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stoic island]

With surge protector, PSU can save itself

[hexed prawn]

lol

woops

my bad

I was born of a sailor

[muted patio]

I'm sorry but a surge protector won't save you from a lightning strike lol

[stoic island]

@muted patio ofc not direct strike, but if it hits the building or damages power lines

[muted patio]

It will augh at the surge protector

[hexed prawn]

yea, I don't mind waiting for a card tbh, I can't afford it yet, But I just don't know what I can or should buy based on the prices and how little I keep up with the industry

[stoic island]

No protection will protect you from a direct strike

[hexed prawn]

unsure yet

I have to pick one still

[hollow grail]

it might

[muted patio]

I've had a shop hit by lightning

Actually, rtree next to the shop

[hexed prawn]

this is the build so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/#compatibility_notes

[muted patio]

Let me tell you

[hexed prawn]

the case may change

[hollow grail]

wrong url fren

[muted patio]

It went through the shop, into the water line and from there, into the house breaker panel and melted the 200 amp breaker

[hexed prawn]

derp >.<

[muted patio]

It was wild what it did

[hexed prawn]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mHdXW3

no, thats right

that is all I have picked out so far

my PSU is fine

[stoic island]

Damn

[hexed prawn]

I have a heatsink that will do fine

[muted patio]

Killed some stuff in the house too

[stoic island]

@muted patio now that I think about it, does buildings in the US just not have lighting rods and such?

[muted patio]

No

We don't have lightning rods

[scarlet gazelle]

oh wait i think i alreadxy have a surge protector

[hexed prawn]

they do depending on where you live @stoic island

[stoic island]

I feel like I've never seen one in the US

[muted patio]

commercial buildings do

Private residences don't

[stoic island]

Welp, in China, I remenber most residential buildings, at least in cities, had lighting rods on top

[hexed prawn]

this is what I have been using. It just died on me: https://www.newegg.com/cyberpower-brg1350avrlcd-nema-5-15r/p/N82E16842102228?Item=N82E16842102228

[stoic island]

Never thought about it before

[hexed prawn]

only got 3 years out of it I think

I was a bit surprised by the lack of shelf life considering its price

it was well reviewed at the time too

[muted patio]

Ah, get an APC

They're fantastic

Used a ton of them over the years

Never had an issue other than battery swaps every 4-5 years

[hexed prawn]

is there an affordable one you can suggest?

I am in the market

[muted patio]

You sure the batteries aren't just dead?

They need replacing every few years

[hexed prawn]

I am not sure actually

that could be exactly it

[muted patio]

Does it turn on at all?

[hexed prawn]

it was the first one I bought

it does, and makes a beeping sound like no ones business

[muted patio]

HA

ded battery

[hexed prawn]

which makes me now think battery lol

[muted patio]

open it up, get new battery

[hexed prawn]

derp

xD

ima geenyus

[muted patio]

LOL

[hexed prawn]

is this it? https://www.newegg.com/p/1T0-0022-00NX7?Description=CyberPower BRG1350AVRLCD battery&cm_re=CyberPower_BRG1350AVRLCD battery-_-9SIA79G5KY1237-_-Product&quicklink=true

I am so clueless...idk how I have managed to build so many machines over the last 20 years and I still don't know jack

[muted patio]

I don't know TBH

Need to open it up and look at the batteries

There will be a model number on them you can cross reference

[little osprey]

is that psu good ? 🤔

[wanton cliff]

Ah, you won one too

Anyways not to my knowledge

I would sell it

[little osprey]

yeahhh

finally I won one

[wanton cliff]

Get an AMP or something

And me too

It’s a nice card AFAIK

[hollow grail]

those psus are a legit fire hazard

[little osprey]

happy for you too

[hollow grail]

dont use them

[stoic island]

P-GM blows up

[muted patio]

LEGIT fire hazard

go boom

make spark

and fire

[hollow grail]

like actually legitimately dangerous

[muted patio]

HI LILI

[wanton cliff]

Is it better than your average white rated PSU?

[stoic island]

I think the cap just blew up, not fire, when it went boom in testing

[muted patio]

no

[hollow grail]

no

[wanton cliff]

Oh wow

[little osprey]

@hollow grail i have thermaltake thoughpower 750w rgb . should i change or keep it

[muted patio]

Was it a cap or MOSFET?

I can't remember

[hollow grail]

u can tell its bad because it carries the gigabyte brand name

[stoic island]

I thought he said it was one of the sus looking caps that blew

lemme check

[muted patio]

I thnk you're right

[wanton cliff]

Keep

100%

[runic oracle]

That PSU is hot garbage

[muted patio]

Caps just make a nice little pop then smell bad

[runic oracle]

the Gigabyte one

[hollow grail]

get leadex

[runic oracle]

keep the thermaltake one

[hollow grail]

sell gigatrash buy leadex

ezpz

or amp i guess

[little osprey]

lol

[hollow grail]

if ur feeling lame

the toughpower rgb are bombs iirc

[little osprey]

I already have thermaltake but I wondered if gigabyte one is better or not lol

[hollow grail]

i mean thermaltake might as well become a defense contractor tbh

with the amount of bombs they produce

[stoic island]

looks like the switching fets made cap blow..?

not certain

[muted patio]

Could be

Or just bad cap to begin with

May have been dry from the factory

[stoic island]

Leadex iii gold is great

[hollow grail]

id literally just replace the tt psu with a good one

i wouldnt trust it to run any system i care about

so

[stoic island]

There are a few good TT PSUs though

[little osprey]

I had once boom thermaltake to be honest lol . it fried my 2 hdd 😂

[stoic island]

GF1, PF1, iRGB one

rest of the good ones just look obscure

like I mean

[hollow grail]

imo if the majority of stuff a company sells is trash

then

[little osprey]

lol

[hollow grail]

no reason to consider them unless theyre MUCH cheaper than competition

which they are not

[stoic island]

teamgroup

[little osprey]

which one is reliable for 750w modular

[hollow grail]

i just told you

[stoic island]

Phanteks amp is my go to for value

[hollow grail]

leadex iii

[stoic island]

Leadex iii gold is good

[hollow grail]

is like 115

[little osprey]

oh let me check

[hollow grail]

pcpp just drunk and says 150 so ppl sleep on it

[stoic island]

because there's a leadex iii bronze that's relatively worse

[little osprey]

hmm should i sell both that psu and buy that one

[hollow grail]

yea lol

[little osprey]

ill try lol

can sell gigabyte as brand new 😂

to be honest I like my thermaltake lol

it looks good xd

have better idea xd sell 3070 for scalped price and get 3080

[meager citrus]

Sell your gigabyte before you have to wait 4 months for your 5th warrantied graphics card

[little osprey]

llmao

I'll definitely sell it as brand new xd

I got combo from

yayy its already packaging

[still roost]

War_pig#6125 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[glacial umbra]

you'll go straight to hell

if thats worth it though

go ahead

[little osprey]

lmao

[glacial umbra]

selling your 3070 for higher than msrp is like selling your soul

[little osprey]

lol I were waiting for that card since december xd

[quiet parrot]

Hey guys, I need help selecting a power supply that is compatible with my desktop.

I have a Dell Precision Tower 3620. I bought a new NVIDIA Quadro M600 video card but it needs an 8 pin power supply. I don't have a spare 8 pin! Question #1, there is an 8 pin that goes straight to the mother board, can I split that? Question #2 How do you figure out which power supply fits which desktop?

[muted patio]

The 8 pin that goes to the MB is for the CPU, it can't be split

[little osprey]

8pin for gpu comes from psu (actually some molex to 8pin adapters but its not safe)

I think dell have custom connection so you can only buy it from dell 🤔

[muted patio]

I'm checking

Dells are weird sometimes

But that GPU pulls 250W

[little osprey]

I had dell pc and it had custom connection for psu

24pin atx were different

[muted patio]

yeah, it's a custom PSU all right

biggest one Dell sells is 365 watts

lemme see if I can find an alternative

[quiet parrot]

I'm looking to just buy a new power supply. I just don't know how to go about it. There are two connectors to the MB. A 4 pin (yellow and black wires) and an 8 pin (black, white, green, grey wires)

Existing one is a 365w as Vintage called it

[muted patio]

yeah, this is going to be interesting

[little osprey]

@quiet parrot your motherboard have custom connection for dell . you cant buy any other psus easily

[muted patio]

Stand by

I'm reading

First, you'll need one of these adapters: https://www.amazon.com/Eyeboot-8-Pin-Supply-Adapter-Motherboards/dp/B01A210HKO

Let me find you a power supply now

[quiet parrot]

Dang! If it comes down to to, I'd buy a new Chassis and MB. I really want this 12GB NVIDIA card!

[muted patio]

Well

that Motherboard won't fit in a standard case

So let me find you a power supply

[little osprey]

lol

[quiet parrot]

LOL, I'd give up the MB and just buy a new one. I hate it when vendors make their stuff specific.

[little osprey]

yep

if you get new mobo it would be much easy xd

[quiet parrot]

I can't find out how to post pictures...I took pix of the two power supply connectors going to the MB

[muted patio]

Yeah a 4 pin for CPU and the proprietary Dell 8 pin

I found some info

This power supply will work https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Bronze-Certified-Non-Modular-CP-9020121-NA/dp/B01MRW2K79

So the 24 pin connector goes to the adapter which goes to the motherboard

then the 4 Pin CPU power from the PSU also goes to the board

Then the 6+2 pin power goes to the graphics card

all good

[little osprey]

is there any adapter for standard atx to dell ? 🤔

[muted patio]

for the board?

Not unless you wanna drill holes and do some funky stuff

[little osprey]

lol

[quiet parrot]

thanks Vintage, I don't understand why I need a 24 pin adapter? I don't have a 24 pin connector.

I'd upload a picture of the two connectors, but it won't let me upload them

they are JPEG but it keeps saying that the upload failed

[little osprey]

couse those psu have 24pin for mobo

and you need an adapter for connect it to your mobo

[muted patio]

The new PSU has a 24 pin connector

The adapter is for the PSU to your Dell motherboard

So you can use an industry standard power supply

Every other PC on the market has a 24 pin motherboard connector. Dell was "special" and decided not to. Thus we need adapters lol

[normal osprey]

Best 600w psu?

[quiet parrot]

Sheesh! Me not so liking Dell rn

[brazen sphinx]

budget?

[normal osprey]

60-100$

[naive idol]

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-SN550-1TB-NVMe-Internal/dp/B07YFFX5MD/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=m.2&qid=1612411098&refinements=p_n_feature_three_browse-bin%3A6797521011&rnid=6797515011&s=pc&sr=1-6
this a good deal/price?

[little osprey]

not only dell deos that . hp also have custom connection

Maybe something like this

[muted patio]

That's a good one

[muted patio]

go a bitmore money for more speed and better drive https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-Solid-State-Drive-TM8FP4001T0C101/dp/B07PHQ6Q1D

[little osprey]

is 10600k enough for 3070 🤔

[quasi snow]

yes that's a good pairing

[little osprey]

or should I replace it to 10700k 🤔

[muted patio]

10600 is fine

[little osprey]

I had 3060 ti on my mind but won 3070 shuffle today so xd

[naive idol]

lucky

[muted patio]

That drive is slower than the sn550 lol

[little osprey]

thanks xd

[muted patio]

yes

Read/write speeds of up to 2100/1500MB/s

[little osprey]

sn550 is pretty good actually

[muted patio]

SN550 is 2400 MB/s

While the MP 34 is 3000

and 2600 write

I'm not saying it's BAD

just slower than the SN550

And let's be honest here

load times between all of them won't differ one bit

[little osprey]

for 115 its good

[quasi snow]

just for 115 you could get something better

[muted patio]

Ye

[little osprey]

i have sn750 and sn550 xd

wd fanboy lol

[quiet parrot]

Goodnight, thank you Vintage and War

[little osprey]

anytime 😇

Pilot e is 107 iirc

[muted patio]

Ye

That'd work too and faster than the MP34

[little osprey]

I guess I'm a little brand addict xd

[muted patio]

Lol

I'm brand agnostic as long as the product isn't junk

[little osprey]

maybe just paying more for brand but idk xd

I paying more for my comfort usually xd

[weak glacier]

Hey there, I was putting more ram in today and in the process my Corsair keyboard stopped letting me type in windows

1. Corsair detects it in iCue and the rgb still turns on
2. The keyboard can type in the bios menus just fine
3. I tried both USB 2 and 3, including ports on the Mobo and the case.
4. Updated the MSI chipset drivers

[muted patio]

Wait, did you put the ram in while it was running??

Otherwise there shouldn't be a correlation between the two

[prisma edge]

does comet lake work with pcie 4?

[weak glacier]

No

System was off

[muted patio]

Ok good

[weak glacier]

I'm incredibly confused by this as there's little to no information online

[muted patio]

Seems like a random occurrence OR another USB device is interfering with it

if it works in the BIOS it SHOULD work in the OS

have any other USB devices plugged in?

[weak glacier]

Mouse and headset

Mouse on the Mobo, works fine, dpi adjustments work

[muted patio]

unplug the headset for grins and giggles

[weak glacier]

Headset on case, but has a caution sign on it in device management

[muted patio]

unplug it

[muted patio]

It does not

[prisma edge]

crap ig ill just get either the new I7 or the new I9 when I can

maybe swap mobos and go zen 3

[muted patio]

What do you need it for, GPU?

[prisma edge]

yah might get a 3070 soon

[muted patio]

Honestly

[weak glacier]

No effect

[muted patio]

there is no performance difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4

how do I know?

I have a Gen 3 riser cable

no difference lol

Same in benchmarks so get that 3070 and enjoy

[prisma edge]

oh okay ive just heard alot of panic about pcie 4

[muted patio]

Yeah because people don't understand that GPU's don't even come close to using PCI-E Gen 4 bandwidth

It's all backwards compatible too

[muted patio]

What KB exactly?

[prisma edge]

ahh okay thanks so much!

[muted patio]

In dDevice Manager, does it show under HID devices?

[muted patio]

YW!

[muted patio]

Does your KB show in Device Manager under HID section?

Or Keyboard section?

[weak glacier]

It shows 3 keyboard devices all the same name

Caution signs over em

Right click update doesn't do anything

Keyboard is a Corsair k55

[muted patio]

Ah

What does the error message say?

Right click properties

SOunds like all the USB stuff has issues

[weak glacier]

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

[muted patio]

Ah

kk

What motherboard?

Are you sure you grabbed the right driver for it?

Sounds like maybe not

[weak glacier]

B450M Pro vdh max

[muted patio]

I'd go here and DL the driver from AMD. Might be a rollback, the new driver might be what broke it https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b450

[weak glacier]

Seems like all my downloads are getting network errors

I'm guessing since this is sudden and I'm not seeing any issue with the rest of my connection it's probably related

[muted patio]

Possibly?

is it mismatched ram?

IE different speeds and timings?

[weak glacier]

The ram is back to its original configuration because having a functional PC again is the goal

It's all the same tho

[muted patio]

and still issues?

[weak glacier]

Yeah

[muted patio]

Ok, i'd try a CMOS reset

then the driver rollback

[weak glacier]

I cmos reset already before putting the originals back in

[muted patio]

Hmmm

Can you try safe mode with networking to install the older driver?

it seems to be the issue

[weak glacier]

I'll grab that chipset driver on my Android and file transfer it over

[muted patio]

Well, if your USB is messed up

that may not work

Seems like all your USB devices have a ! next to them except the mouse yeah?

[weak glacier]

Just the keyboard and the headset

The headset of which has no problems

[muted patio]

Interesting

Yeah, try the phone

not gonna hurt

[granite barn]

CAn someone please build me a pcpartpicker list for 500 dollars

i bought a used rx 570 for 110$ so 390 for the rest of the aprts

[muted patio]

Power supply, case, the whole 9 yards??

[weak glacier]

Usd? Gaming? Probably be a bit hard to pull off man

[granite barn]

490 if you have to

[drowsy stone]

greeting chat.... can anyone help me i am trying to buy rbg for my asus how do i know which are compatible with my mother board? .....

[muted patio]

it ain't pretty but it works https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZtPX3Z

had that one saved

Actually

[granite barn]

thank you

[muted patio]

I can trim some fat off that

if you want

[granite barn]

its fine

[muted patio]

You sure?

I can trim a few bucks here and there

[granite barn]

ok

[weak glacier]

Installing the driver's

[muted patio]

what motherboard

[drowsy stone]

my mother board header says 12v grb rbg is that what i need to search on amazon to find compatibility ?

[muted patio]

Trimmed off $50

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yZCLHz

[granite barn]

thank you

[muted patio]

Welcome!

[weak glacier]

If you can swing like $25 more at least grab a small ssd for boot as well

[muted patio]

Ye, there's some wiggle room there

[muted patio]

Just that, RGB

Don't get aRGB

[weak glacier]

Restarting now, let's see if this did anything

[muted patio]

What exactly are you looking for, fans?

[prisma edge]

Lian Li strimer plus cables make your build lok pretty as well

[weak glacier]

Same old

:/

Man this is like the worst thing to go wrong

[muted patio]

I'm reading

not giving up lol

How many things in device manager have that error?

Another thing is, you were poking around inside your case. I would shut it down and plug and unplug every connection on your motherboard. it's entirely possible you bumped something without knowing

[fallow oar]

Anyone know the problems?

[muted patio]

lastly, if there aren't too many devices with the ! code 19 issue, right click and unsinstall them and then reboot

[fallow oar]

I have everything connected

And tried diff cables

[muted patio]

Graphics card

Might not be seated all the way

[weak glacier]

Went through everything

[muted patio]

make sure it's pushed fully into the slot

[weak glacier]

The headset is fine now in there

Now it's just the 3 keyboards

[fallow oar]

Also this happens when I’m trying to install windows by putting a flash drive in

[muted patio]

ONLY those?

[weak glacier]

Only those

[fallow oar]

This is the first time I’m booting my pc

[muted patio]

if it's only those, right click and Uninstall then reboot

[fallow oar]

Haven’t installed windows yet

This message doesn’t pop up when I boot without the flash drive

But does when I have the flash drive in

[weak glacier]

Rebooting now

[muted patio]

what graphics card?

[weak glacier]

Double check all your cables, even the most careful people miss something

[muted patio]

What graphics card and what power supply?

[fallow oar]

Gigabyte 2070s

[neat reef]

could i soak a super dirty PC fan and let it dry for days before using it? tried cleaning it but its difficult, would help to soak it

[fallow oar]

What cable would I be missing

There is a 6pin and an 8pin I only have power going to the 8 pin that’s how it’s supposed to be right

[weak glacier]

They all popped back up with the same error

[muted patio]

Nope

[fallow oar]

I have a gigabyte 750w fully modular power supply

[muted patio]

need both 6 pin and 8 pin

wait

what model gigabyte power supply??

[fallow oar]

I don’t think so

[muted patio]

yes, you DO need both

Also, what model gigabyte power supply???

Some of those literally blow up and should not be used

[fallow oar]

P750GM

[muted patio]

Return that immediately

[fallow oar]

Why

[muted patio]

They're not safe

They blow up during reviews

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS0Mjw3BW94&feature=emb_title

But for the record, both of the power slots need to be filled on the GPU, yes

[muted patio]

if it's only the KB, it may have failed

have a laptop or something to try it on?

[weak glacier]

Yeah I'll see if it has power and report back

Appreciate all the help

[muted patio]

YW

[fallow oar]

It’s the only psu I have

And I got it with a bundle

[muted patio]

Just giving you a heads up

[fallow oar]

So I can’t

[muted patio]

but yeah, connect both power cables to the GPU, that's why you're getting that warning

[weak glacier]

Well if the keyboard did fail suddenly today, I wonder why

I don't think I could have shorted it out through installing ram? Weird stuff happens ig

[drowsy stone]

yes i want to add 5 rgb fans to my pc

[muted patio]

couple packs of these will get you 6 so you'll have a spare: https://www.amazon.com/Antec-120mm-RGB-Performance-F12/dp/B07V31D5PF/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=RGB+fans&qid=1612416850&sr=8-18

[weak glacier]

Keyboard works on laptop

[muted patio]

Heh

Just found that issue on the Corsair forums but no fix

Exact same symptoms

no work on PC, works on lappy

Still reading

[weak glacier]

👍

[muted patio]

Well, here's a hail mary

Before you do a Repair Install of Windows

1 - Navigate to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

2 - Once you find the two folders, there is no need to expand them further (if you do, you'll find folders labeled "0000", "0001", "Properties", etc. -- just ignore these).

3 - To fix the keyboard, click directly on the 4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 folder (don't expand it). Once you click the folder, you'll see registry value files appear on the right hand side.

4 - The file you're looking for is the last one in the group -- the one named UpperFilters. Double-click on it, and a small box opens titled "Edit Multi-Screen"

5 - Once the Edit Multi-Screen box opens, you want to delete any information in the Value data: field (if there is any), and type kbdclass When finished, click the OK button.

6 - Reboot your system and I hope the issue will be fixed.

[weak glacier]

You feel for dyslexic people when going through the registry

@muted patio you magician

It's back

[muted patio]

That worked???

SWEET!!!

I'm gonna bookmark that one HAHAH!

[weak glacier]

All this from an idiot messing with his ram

Thanks so much lol

[muted patio]

Welcome!

Not gonna lie

that was a random hail mary I found on a forum

[weak glacier]

I don't think I'd have ever found it tbf

[hasty badger]

So has anyone here had experience with the 3000 series power spikes I'm reading about? I'm shopping around for a PSU in preparation for when I can get my hands on one and am deciding between 850w and 1000w and was wondering if they are bad enough to warrant a 1000w. CPU is a 5800x btw.

[little osprey]

Yo guys this just happened uhh what do I do

[muted patio]

Eh, a quality 750W will do you fine for a 3080

[brazen sphinx]

ahhh

[muted patio]

Like a Phanteks AMP 750, Corsair RMx 750

Seasonic Focus Gold 750 etc

[muted patio]

See above

[brazen sphinx]

let it restart

[little osprey]

It did and it’s normal

[brazen sphinx]

see their unlimited reasons for blue screen

[muted patio]

what was the stop code?

[brazen sphinx]

^

[little osprey]

Is my computer ok?

[brazen sphinx]

yes yes

[muted patio]

kernel driver or something?

I can't quite read it

[brazen sphinx]

nothing to panic let me read the code

[muted patio]

Something Server Exception?

[little osprey]

I just updated a driver then it took me to a bsod

[muted patio]

what driver?

[brazen sphinx]

driver issue

yes

stop code system service expection'

[little osprey]

It was a 1660 ti driver

[brazen sphinx]

nvidia driver basically right?

[muted patio]

From nVidia or windows?

Did you download it through GeForce Experience or Windows?

[little osprey]

Yeah

[little osprey]

Before experience

[muted patio]

Roll it back then

Get the older driver from the nvidia website

Download it, run it, choose Clean Install on the bottom right

it's a little checkbox

[little osprey]

K

[granite barn]

I have a fan hub

do i need fan splitters

?

[unkempt bay]

Can anyone help me with getting a PC I’m thinking of buying a pre build and have two in mind

[weak glacier]

Send the links

I highly recommend building your own if possible though

[solid rivet]

No graphics cards tho

I got lucky with a sealed clean scalp purchase

[weak glacier]

true but if he's going for some of the hard to get ones, won't prebuilts be just as unlucky?

or are the manufacturers managing to ship em still

don't really follow prebuilts

[solid rivet]

Prebuilt have em. My buddy just unboxed a 3080 prebuilt three weeks ago.

[weak glacier]

hmm

we await his budget and his options then

pleasedontbecyberpower

[ornate solstice]

Can anyone make me a $500-600 usd build

[weak glacier]

For what purpose

And do you have any peripherals already

[ornate solstice]

I have a keyboard and mouse and a tv that I use as a monitor

And mainly for gaming

[solid rivet]

You ok with a 1030 gpu?

[ornate solstice]

But streaming would be also cool if I can

I’m going to say this rn I don’t know anything about PCs

[solid rivet]

Champagne dreams busch budget

[weak glacier]

You may want to consider a 1080p monitor on top of this

[ornate solstice]

The peripherals don’t matter rn

I’ll add a price for that later on

I wanted a pc like his that he built but he said it was way to out of budget for me😂

[ripe wedge]

gpus are hard to get right now but a gt1030 wont be good for gaming at all

[solid rivet]

It can be done but you would have a poopoo graphics card most likely.

[ripe wedge]

used market would be best place to look

for gpu

[solid rivet]

Even used market is poopoo

[ripe wedge]

eh

you can sometimes find stuff

like facebook marketplace

[solid rivet]

For a build with a budget of 5-600$

Maybeeeee you get lucky

[ripe wedge]

I built my secondary gaming pc for $250

ryzen 3 1300x/gtx 970

it wasnt too too long ago tho

[ornate solstice]

I just really need a build my pc can barely run Minecraft

[ripe wedge]

have you looked into geforce now?

[weak glacier]

Looking at these gpu prices has me messed up

[solid rivet]

If you buy new cpu mb ram and get a like a 1030 or ryzen 570? Then save up over time for a decent 1660 or 1070. But 500-600 usd is tough.

[weak glacier]

I mean this is Newegg but do I dare say check out a console

If you urgently want to play games this is a terrible time to get into Pc with that budget

[ornate solstice]

I have a PS4 a Xbox one s and a Nintendo switch I don’t think I need more consoles😂

But thank you guys

[granite barn]

is a 1660 super for 200 a good deal?

[ornate solstice]

I’ll look into building a pc later on then since the gpu prices are terrible

[weak glacier]

It is indeed a good deal

[granite barn]

ok

[solid rivet]

This market yes

[weak glacier]

I paid like 226 for mine

[granite barn]

would a ryzen 3 3100 be a good pair up with it?

[solid rivet]

I paid 220 for a 1650 low prowfile

Yea 16s are good with most amd

[weak glacier]

Actually I paid 269

[granite barn]

ok thx

[weak glacier]

Solid card so I happily endorse it for such a good price

[solid rivet]

Don’t forget ram stix if your getting a 1660 super get 16 gigs of ram!

Rumor on the web is prices are going up for ram soon

[ornate solstice]

Dang my friend said y’all couldn’t build him a pc with his budget cause of the price on gpus

This dude has been wanting a pc for years

[weak glacier]

Well, global pandemics do that sadly

Combined with crypto already having impacted sales, it's a storm

[solid rivet]

It can be built for his budget but his graphics card would be poopoo. 500$ is tough real tough these days.

[granite barn]

optiplex

[ornate solstice]

Dang

[solid rivet]

Totally! Wait I have one but not for sale it’s my fiancé’s

[ornate solstice]

I opted for a $1200ish build

[weak glacier]

I suggest anyone who can wait, wait
At some point in the future your money will go farther

[solid rivet]

The optiolex has the 1650 lp in it with 16 gig ram. I5 2500. It’s so weak but it plays the sims 4 and she’s happy hah

[ornate solstice]

I run a r7 3700x asrock b550promobo rx 5700xt gpu 16gb ram 2tb hdd and 500gb ssd

Disappointed in my self for not getting a 1tb ssd

[solid rivet]

I’m running r5 3600 rtx 3070 32 gig ram 2.5 tb wd 750

My build is on the build pic thread

Most recent

[ornate solstice]

Looks cool

[weak glacier]

Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1660 Super

[ornate solstice]

I’d show mine off but I’m disappointed in how it looks

[solid rivet]

No shame

[weak glacier]

Is that a Corsair case @solid rivet

[ornate solstice]

Mainly cause my case fans are only blue

[weak glacier]

The hooks and shape look almost exactly like mine

Except the hard drive trays are different

[ornate solstice]

So I made the rest of my rgb blue but my keyboard is green

[solid rivet]

I think it’s rosewill my pals dad gave it and there’s no info on the case but it has two rosewill fans

I can’t stand rgb lights lol

[weak glacier]

You have a front view per chance?

Rgb is neat when done right in the pc, won't ever be able to justify it in my head though, bc that's like, $$

[ornate solstice]

The fans came with case

[solid rivet]

I’m in bed with a dawg and a lady and they got me locked down

No pic on tablet

[ornate solstice]

My gpu already has rgb and same with my cpu the stock cooler comes with rgb

[weak glacier]

Ah gotcha

[solid rivet]

Rgb is great when done right but it seem like a nightmare to get it right haha

[ornate solstice]

It depends with mystic light you can change the entire pc to one color with an easy click

But the wires are annoying as hell

Cable management has to be the hardest part of any pc build and it’s worse with rgb

[solid rivet]

Wire control is so important I cry when I see messes

[weak glacier]

Mines pretty awful, back panel having so little room, combined with how huge the power supply cords are..

[ornate solstice]

I’ve built 5 PCs so far and I always hated the cable part

[weak glacier]

YouTubers make it look easy

Then I remember their case is like $200

And isn't designed by an intern

[solid rivet]

I had a good time with mine. Wasn’t too bad. But I mean I have no rgb and I have no sata

[ornate solstice]

Mine was cheap as hell with a lot of back panel room and came with 3 pre-installed fans

[strong knoll]

How much do u guys think I should sell my pc for, it’s a cyberpower prebuilt Ik lol but It has
I5-8400
MSI b360m
MSI 1060 3GB OC
240 GB SSD
2 Tb Harddrive
500 w psu

[weak glacier]

My sata cables are pretty bad

Ones just randomly blue

Because that's what best buy had and I needed one quick

[ornate solstice]

Makes sense

[solid rivet]

I’ve browsed Best Buy for fun and it’s pretty pathetic what they carry in store haha

[ornate solstice]

Right

I’m about to buy an oculus quest 2 off them

[weak glacier]

I actually went to a new best buy today on the way home from a covid test, way better selection than usual

[ornate solstice]

But it’s expensive as hell

[weak glacier]

Employee knew PC's and found the ram I needed from the back

[solid rivet]

Sell it to the guy looking to spend 600$

[ornate solstice]

the best buy near me knew a lot about PCs

[strong knoll]

Probably doesn’t want it and lives no where near me

[weak glacier]

Then you got the employees who upsell crazy expensive computers to old ladies

[ornate solstice]

Oh that’d be my friend that uses my account

What state you live in

[strong knoll]

Nevada

[ornate solstice]

Ok that’s a couple hours away😂

[solid rivet]

And they don’t even get a cut lmao

[strong knoll]

Hbu?

[ornate solstice]

Cali

[weak glacier]

The investors are happy though

[ornate solstice]

Same with my friend he lives around the block from me

[strong knoll]

How much do u think it would be worth tho?

[ornate solstice]

No more than $600 IMO

[solid rivet]

The 1060 alone is going msrp right now

[ornate solstice]

You can stretch the price more since people want PCs bad rn to about $700 max but i don’t think anyone would pay more than that

[strong knoll]

Do u know the MSRP for it, it’s OC version so

Also forgot the ram it’s Corsair vengeance RGB 2666

[weak glacier]

Like $300 or so I think

[strong knoll]

Oh wow

But that would be new

[weak glacier]

Ofc used is different

[ornate solstice]

Alright well ima go to bed so peace out

[weak glacier]

Throw it up on eBay or something

[solid rivet]

Yea but used market is msrp at this time

At least east coast

Amazon has 1060 2-300 usd

[strong knoll]

Tryna to selll as whole unless i can’t sell it then I would sell by parts

[weak glacier]

Throw it up for sale

Part it out if you don't get any takers

[solid rivet]

That’s why he asked for pricehha

[strong knoll]

Also not sure if the DP works or not I tried to use it one time for my second monitor and it would not work don’t know why, I use a dvi tho and can get the full 144hz

[solid rivet]

I honestly think 500-600 would be fair considering it’s used. Probably dirty af lol

[weak glacier]

Grab a thing of canned air and a micro fiber for the customer

[strong knoll]

Lmao yeah i tried my best to clean it

[solid rivet]

The board isn’t special the psu isn’t special cpu is decent. Really the big thing is your GPU. And ram is always valuable. Is it ddr3 or 4

[strong knoll]

DDR4 I’m pretty sure

What about my cpu

[solid rivet]

8 ,16 or 32 gig

Ram

Cpu is kinda weak

I’d call it expired

[strong knoll]

16

Idk the CPU is decent not the best but it has some power

[solid rivet]

You have a good gpu and I’m assuming two stix of 8 gig ram that alone is like 3-350 right there but only cuz your gpu

[strong knoll]

Yeah I over payed on the ram but I didn’t really know that much it was like 90 sum but I thought if I went over the hertz and put it in my pc it would break lol

[solid rivet]

In my unprofessional opinion cpu is outdated. Same with your gpu but gpu market is so ass right now old cards sell.

[ripe wedge]

whats the cpu in question

[strong knoll]

I5-8400

[solid rivet]

I5 8400

[ripe wedge]

I mean that cpu can game still

[strong knoll]

^^

[ripe wedge]

its a decent cpu

[solid rivet]

With in the year with new games coming out tho

[ripe wedge]

heck people still game on the i5 2400

my friend has one

[solid rivet]

I have one in my optiolex

[strong knoll]

Yeah I’m gonna build a new pc so I’m tryna to gather sum dough

[solid rivet]

The 8400 isn’t bad but I don’t think it’s shelf life has much left for the games coming. Obv AAA games will murder it

[weak glacier]

Just sayin

[strong knoll]

Rawr

[solid rivet]

Let’s not start the intel amd debate haha

[weak glacier]

Nah, just picked a common CPU to compare it with today

[ripe wedge]

I mean cyberpunk proves that but it is mostly cuz cyberpunk isnt optimized extremely well

but yeah eventually the cpu will struggle

[solid rivet]

Cyber trash

[ripe wedge]

what you can do is upgrade the cooler on your i5

get a beefy noctua cooler

or something lol

[strong knoll]

I’m planning on selling the pc lol

[ripe wedge]

ah

well whats your budget for a new pc

[weak glacier]

Tbf is there anything stopping you from just a regular upgrade?

[strong knoll]

I got one I’m going for that about $1850

[solid rivet]

Yay

[ripe wedge]

hol up whats the specs

[solid rivet]

Champagne money

[weak glacier]

GTX 1030

[ripe wedge]

[solid rivet]

Buy a prebuilt with a 3070 or 80

[ripe wedge]

I have a prebuilt pc company to recommend

[solid rivet]

For 1800 you’ll be sitting nice

[strong knoll]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q79Wwz

Ik I can get better for price on the cooler but it’s too sexy

[ripe wedge]

hold on building a pc on a website real quick

its a prebuilt

[strong knoll]

Why would I got with a prebuilt??

[ripe wedge]

cuz gpus are hard to get

[solid rivet]

Guaranteed parts

[ripe wedge]

lol

[solid rivet]

It’s the only way to get a gpu these days

[strong knoll]

I already got a 3070 fe lol

[solid rivet]

Well your holding out lots of info

[strong knoll]

No one asked lmao

[solid rivet]

If you don’t need a gpu then your good

So your uncomfortable building and booting your self?

[ripe wedge]

https://buildredux.com/pages/build-your-pc

I removed the os from the one I built in the list

so its $109 cheaper

u can get a windows 10 key for so cheap

[solid rivet]

Os are rip offs

[strong knoll]

Wym?

[ripe wedge]

which is why I like this company

you can choose not to have os

and makes it cheaper

[solid rivet]

If you have a 3070 already why not order the parts to build around it?

[ripe wedge]

oh

you have a 3070 fe

[solid rivet]

I have asus duel oc 307o

Bout it for 750 usd

[strong knoll]

Not enough money rn waiting for a little more before I start ordering

[solid rivet]

Ok I thought you were posting trying to find a pre built

[ripe wedge]

I have the 3080 aorus master

[strong knoll]

Best Buy was easy man

[ripe wedge]

got it before the tariff price increase

[strong knoll]

Got 2 but one got canceled

[solid rivet]

I got mine off the fb market place haha

[ripe wedge]

this list is fine then but id switch out the m.2 personally

[strong knoll]

What’s wrong with it??

[ripe wedge]

for that much id rather suggest a sn750 or a 970 evo

[solid rivet]

Extra cash

[strong knoll]

I got the suggestion from mr111

I think

[solid rivet]

I mean I have WD 750 and I love them

[ripe wedge]

its ok but like

[solid rivet]

My oc boots in five seconds and runs programs like whoa

Pc

[ripe wedge]

if mr1111 recommends it then go ahead

should be fine

I have the SN750 in my pc lol

[solid rivet]

It’s just expensive

[strong knoll]

Well I was going the WD Sn 750 but they are basically like the same

[solid rivet]

I have a 2tb 750 and 500 gig

[ripe wedge]

how much dram does that p31 have

[solid rivet]

If you can find Samsung on sale

[ripe wedge]

ah ok the p31 is fine

it has lpddr4 1gb on the 1tb model

[strong knoll]

The sk has 3500mb/s and the sn750 is 3430Mb/s

The sk is 10 cheaper

[ripe wedge]

yeah then go with it

cuz cheaper

[solid rivet]

If you already have the gpu and you still have 1800usd to build def go m.2

[ripe wedge]

that is an m.2

[solid rivet]

Check Best Buy for prices. I got both mine for good price. The 2tb was 500 but dropped on sale to 300 a couple weeks ago

[ripe wedge]

"500"

[solid rivet]

Usd

[strong knoll]

No no that part of budget

[ripe wedge]

they raised it then lowered it to make it look cheaper

$300 is about the usual price

for the 2tb sn750

[solid rivet]

I was bmboozled

[ripe wedge]

ye

lol

[solid rivet]

I mean it’s 500 on Amazon soooo

[ripe wedge]

third party?

or amazon amazon

shipped/sold

[solid rivet]

I’m wrong haha

Forget what I said

[ripe wedge]

loll

its k happens to the best of us

[solid rivet]

Regardless they kick ass. Great storage

[ripe wedge]

just whatever you do

dont get adata ssds

lol

I have an adata baracuda in my secondary pc and it is garbage

no wait

its called swordfish

lol

[strong knoll]

How about the hardrive is that fold??

[ripe wedge]

that seagate hdd is fine

cheap and just mass storage

[solid rivet]

Sea gate is solid

[ripe wedge]

id put AAA games on ssd tho

and smaller games/ less demanding games on seagate hdd

[solid rivet]

Just be ready to transfer your favorite game off of it and into the sdd

[ripe wedge]

^

[strong knoll]

If I have extra money think I’m gonna get a 500gb m.2

[ripe wedge]

speaking of storage I need more lol

[solid rivet]

That’s your boot drive! Yes it’ll hold some games as well

[ripe wedge]

I have 1 more m.2 slot

[ripe wedge]

id wait tbh and get another 1tb

later on

[strong knoll]

Or that

[ripe wedge]

im prolly gonna get a 2tb m.2 for my last drive. I have 3 m.2 slots lol

[solid rivet]

Idk man. I think get the 500. Use for boot drive. If you can’t go 1tb or 2tb m.2 go with hdd and save up then just toss hdd and redownload games from steam into m.2

[ripe wedge]

or use hdd for backup storage

[solid rivet]

The 2tb is worth the cash

[ripe wedge]

yeah im sure lol

[strong knoll]

They kinda expensive tho

[ripe wedge]

was looking at a few the other day but didnt pull the trigger

[solid rivet]

“Future proof”

Sorry #FUTUREPROOF

If your going to build build for tomorrow not today

[ripe wedge]
