[quasi laurel]

So the chipset fan is going crazy and the error code says 00

Or OO

Sooo

[muted patio]

Reading the manual lol

They're all different :/

@stoic island With MSI, once the light stops flashing it's just reset button on front panel yeah?

Yeah, after that just use the front panel reset button to restart it

[muted patio]

Just use regular PC restart button

[quasi laurel]

It didnt work the restart button

So

[muted patio]

How long did the BIOS light stay flashing?

[quasi laurel]

Like 30 secs

Or 1 min

[muted patio]

Are you trying to flash X570 for Ryzen 5000?

[quasi laurel]

Ye

[muted patio]

Hmmm, I think the flash should take longer. I also know MSI needs to rename the BIOS file and only a certain USB slot can be used

[quasi laurel]

Ye i named it MSI.ROm

M

[muted patio]

I'm checking a couple things

[quasi laurel]

And i put it in the right slot

[muted patio]

Manual is kinda trash

[quasi laurel]

K

[muted patio]

This one under the PS/2 port yeah?

[quasi laurel]

Yes

[muted patio]

MSI.ROM is all uppercase?

[quasi laurel]

You

Yup

[muted patio]

I would try it again

From what I see, board should reboot if it worked

[quasi laurel]

Yeah it didnt reboot

Like the first time

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qhmsgt
How is this build for 1080p 165hz/fps in games like fortnite and valorant

[muted patio]

Also, make sure the oNLY file on the drive is the MSI.ROM, nothing else

[quasi laurel]

Ye

So should i try to reinstall it

[muted patio]

It should take 2-5 minutes for the BIOS to install

SO try it again ye

[quasi laurel]

Also it has be off right the pc

[muted patio]

yes

[quasi laurel]

Ok

[muted patio]

This is a higher quality PSU for less money https://www.amazon.com/Segotep-Supply-Certified-Gaming-Fully-Modular/dp/B0832F6NS8

if can, try and get 3200 mhz ram also

[stoic island]

@muted patio Hm? I'm not sure what you mean, once the light stops flashing I can just boot

[wanton cliff]

I would get better memory, HDD, and PSU (like the AMP or Segotep, as vintage linked) but otherwise it looks like overkill

[muted patio]

K, was just checking BIOS Flashback issues with an X570 board

[quasi laurel]

Oh ye also

[muted patio]

From what I saw board should reboot if it worked yeah?

[quasi laurel]

When i press the bios flash button

It turns the pc on

Is that normal

[muted patio]

Like, it boots to the BIOS? Things should turn on, yeah

Motherboard needs power

[quasi laurel]

No

It’s just turns all the lights on

[muted patio]

Yeah

[quasi laurel]

K

[muted patio]

That's fine

[quasi laurel]

Shud i unplug hdmi

Or does it not matter

[wanton cliff]

Did you know that the Nigerian prince scam has existed for 400~ years?

[quasi laurel]

Dang bro

[muted patio]

Doesn't matter

[quasi laurel]

K

[muted patio]

Most people do this without the CPU too

Just a bare board

Nothing installed

No RAM, no CPU no nothing

[quasi laurel]

The flash button is flashing rlly fast

Ok ill try that ltr I guess

[muted patio]

if this doesn't work yeah, might be worth a shot

[quasi laurel]

Ok

Actually its blinking longer than before

It’s still blinking

How do i if i bricked it tho

Like just asking

You

Yup

The light stopped

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZqPrXb hows this

[quasi laurel]

Imma unplug everything

[muted patio]

Well, try and reboot it

SHould take a couple minutes

[wanton cliff]

Your Helix L was fine, change the HDD to a WD Blue

SN550 lacks DRAM

[muted patio]

When you did the flash drive, did you make SURE it was set up as a FAT32 drive?

Like, format FAT32 in windows and then put the file on it?

[quasi laurel]

Yes

[muted patio]

Ok

[fossil halo]

wait

is ddosing illegal?

[muted patio]

YEs

[wanton cliff]

Yes

Very

[worn wave]

Lmao

[wanton cliff]

It’s up there with Grand Theft Auto and stuff like that

[fossil halo]

wait what

oh lmao

[wanton cliff]

The crime

Not the game

[fossil halo]

i just watched

[hollow grail]

yes

u can get jail time for it

[fossil halo]

i just watched muta's video on taht

the gta thing

oh lmao

i just thought that it was like

[hollow grail]

if u use lililabs instances to ddos people i forward your info to the police

[fossil halo]

immoral but not illegal

[hollow grail]

[wanton cliff]

Lili

He references Mutahar

Get him

[hollow grail]

eh muta just doesnt know much about what hes talking abt

just dont take his word as gospel and ur fine

actually dont take his word at all

[fossil halo]

nah like about the gta thing

idc tbh

i dont even have gta LMFAO

whats wrong with muta

[wanton cliff]

He speaks of things he knows nothing about

[quasi laurel]

My pc isn’t turning off

Shud i flip psu switch

[fossil halo]

um

[quasi laurel]

After I flashed bios

[fossil halo]

idk i dont wanna tell you the wrong thing

@wanton cliff do u know this

[wanton cliff]

Vintage was helping him

[fossil halo]

lmao mutahar with the ViRTuAL mACHInEs

[muted patio]

The flash LED is completely off??

Not red at all?

[quasi laurel]

Yes

But it ran for like 1 min

[muted patio]

Yeah, flip power switch and back on and run

[quasi laurel]

Other people said that this bios is a beta

And to install an older version

[muted patio]

Oh yeah, don't do Beta!

[quasi laurel]

Dang it

Ok

[fossil halo]

oh no

yea

[quasi laurel]

Can i just reinstall bios

[fossil halo]

beta bios is

[quasi laurel]

Like just do it again

[fossil halo]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nooo-nope-eat-fingerwag-gif-4880183

[quasi laurel]

I just have to redo load it

Right

And stick it in

To the mobo

[muted patio]

Yeah, do it with a non-beta bios file

[quasi laurel]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss

I switch the psu on and offf

And it boooteddd

[muted patio]

Niiiiice

[quasi laurel]

[quasi laurel]

Ikr

Search it up

[wanton cliff]

3070 is 8+6

[quasi laurel]

Gigabyte has 2 8 pin

[ripe wedge]

my 3080 aorus master is 2 8 pin

[ripe wedge]

but the xtreme variant is 3 8 pin

oh yeah you are the one who got the chinese one or whatever

I remember seeing that pic in build pics

interesting

[muted patio]

Man, you went ALL OUT!

[wanton cliff]

whats y'all's opinions on the Rail-Away?

[blazing aurora]

the italian one?

[wanton cliff]

the tavern on rails

[blazing aurora]

not familiar with it

[wanton cliff]

do you play D&D?

[blazing aurora]

i've been trying to get into it with my buds

still very new

[wanton cliff]

next time you DM, use the Rail-Away as a tavern

[blazing aurora]

will do, thanks for the heads up

[wanton cliff]

its like the hogwarts express mixed with a luxury yacht mixed with that time train in that one episode of Rick and Morty

[blazing aurora]

that was a good episode

[winged lion]

This says a lot about the construction of personal computers

[wanton cliff]

this says a lot about our society

[winged lion]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x94bDc

Opinions?

Max budget of 1k

Waiting on gpu

[blazing aurora]

throw a 3070 in there and you've got a great build

[uncut pelican]

Max budget or 1k not 1.8k

[blazing aurora]

i thought you already had the 3070, my bad

because it's in your name

[wanton cliff]

This man builds builds for people a lot

[uncut pelican]

Oh its for someone else xD

[uncut pelican]

I see you are paying attention

[wanton cliff]

I’m level 48 on this server

[uncut pelican]

That is true

[wanton cliff]

I joined in November

That’s a pretty good ratio

[uncut pelican]

I joines in August

[wanton cliff]

If I do say so myself

[uncut pelican]

Then got banned

Then got back

I should spend more time here

[wanton cliff]

How did you get banned?

[uncut pelican]

I was a dumbass and dm advertised before I knew it was a rule

[wanton cliff]

Oh lol

Too many people don’t read rules

[uncut pelican]

But I earned my way back

[uncut pelican]

Yeah well I learned that ya should

I wanna build another mini itx

The velka 3 didnt come with a instruction manual

[wanton cliff]

Send me money for ITX build

[gusty abyss]

same

I just want to build a shiny rgb mess in that freaking thermaltake case

[fossil halo]

same

or nah i wanna build in that velkase thing

idc about rgb or anything

[uncut pelican]

Ok

[fossil halo]

wow @uncut pelican how did the velka build go

[uncut pelican]

Highly recommend the one i did

Very good

[fossil halo]

linus said there was a lot of manhandling involved

[charred compass]

just copped me a 3070 now with that i can finally start my build 🙏🏻

[uncut pelican]

There wasnt

[wanton cliff]

Send me 2 grand for ITX

Thanks and bye

[fossil halo]

maybe bc u went igpu

[uncut pelican]

UNless you do a gou

Gpu

[fossil halo]

[wanton cliff]

Which one

[uncut pelican]

Although it still wouldnt be hard

Just gotta be smart abt it

[fossil halo]

true

not something linus has

sadly

[uncut pelican]

Its not for beginners tho

[charred compass]

[uncut pelican]

No instructions and stuff

[fossil halo]

||not something i have tho either||

[wanton cliff]

Indtalling windows right?

[gusty pasture]

yep

[potent portal]

There's not need to spam every channel with a help request

[wanton cliff]

Doing that gets you banned

[uncut pelican]

Ikr you speek the truth

[fossil halo]

wait bruh

i got stuck in the filthy screensaver bug

lemme link it now

[uncut pelican]

I already sent it o.o

https://youtu.be/RYYoCXh2gtw

That right?

[potent portal]

Who still uses screensavers?

[uncut pelican]

Yes

[fossil halo]

nah

its a mac os big sur bug

[uncut pelican]

Rip

[fossil halo]

actually a really big bug

[uncut pelican]

Bug

[fossil halo]

idk how apple hasnt fixed it yet

like ull be using ur computer

and the screensaver just pops up and u cant do anything about it

[uncut pelican]

Just no apple gross

[potent portal]

Even if you disable the screensaver?

[fossil halo]

deadass

u cant

or im braindead

[uncut pelican]

Search google

[fossil halo]

this

[potent portal]

I assume you've seen this? https://lifehacker.com/try-these-fixes-for-the-macos-permanent-screensaver-bug-1846088663

[fossil halo]

there is no "no screensaver" option

yea like it says that u are supposed to turn off fast user switching

but im not the only one who uses this machine

[potent portal]

Well to disable it typically you'd just set "0" for when it starts

[fossil halo]

oh

really

not very intuitive

i thought it was a virus at first

[wanton cliff]

Heh

No

[potent portal]

You just descibed Apple

[fossil halo]

that is true

[wanton cliff]

Just set it to a false instead of a true (0 instead of 1) or whatever

[fossil halo]

yea

the screensave looks so weird

its like

an anemone

[fossil halo]

ios is fine imo

like not the best thing but its fine

mac os is a different story

if samsungs exynos laptop is good, which it probably wont, ill be sad that im stuck with a mac

if it (an exynos product) is good

rather unlikely

[wanton cliff]

I heard Exynos lappies wouldn’t be good

Phones on the other hand

Well, we will see

[fossil halo]

they are still not quite as good as the snapdragon ones

i was about to get a exynos galaxy bc it was cheaper

[wanton cliff]

Exynos phone benchmarks supposed to be good

[fossil halo]

they have some deal worked out with amd right

for the next phones

they are supposed to be like mad insane with graphics

[wanton cliff]

I know the Asus phone benches were supposed to be good as hell

[fossil halo]

yea

kinda anooying bc nothing even comes close to apple

and its annoying

[wanton cliff]

No?

ARM is just power efficient

[fossil halo]

tru

i mean then thats like saying gaming laptops are valid

[wanton cliff]

Not necessarily more graphically powerful than your average snapdragon or whatever

Just uses half as much power

[fossil halo]

tru but thats the point of a phone

[wanton cliff]

They are

[fossil halo]

uhhh

ok thats a different argument

but like

theres no point in taking a phone with u if its gonna die in 4 hours

[wanton cliff]

On that hand though, Apple phones usually have batteries half the size of Asus or Samsung or whatever

iPhone 12 is 2815mAh while Asus ROG phone is 6000mAh, for example

[fossil halo]

ig

then that makes it a thicker phone though

like the rog phone is a respectably chunky boi

[wanton cliff]

Yeah true

Ask @haughty void about what he thinks of his

[fossil halo]

i have a s10e and its fine

[wanton cliff]

I have the 12 but I’m using a 6s right now

iPhone 12

[fossil halo]

i kinda want the 12 mini

but like

i dont really want it either

bruh taiwan is in a drought

when ur founders edition is coming from taiwan

well the founders that i want

[haughty void]

hi what

[fossil halo]

how chonk is ur rog phone

[haughty void]

chonk?

like thickness?

[fossil halo]

yes

isnt it

thicccer than ur average phone

[haughty void]

about the same as an 11pro

[fossil halo]

really?

[haughty void]

yeah

ishn

[fossil halo]

it looks a lot thicker

[haughty void]

nah

[fossil halo]

oh lmfao

i have a s10e and its thinish but i have a case so its thicc

[hollow grail]

cases are cring

better to just skin the phone

[potent portal]

Tell that to my wife, who managed to crack her new phone's screen in the 2 days between it being delivered and the case being delivered

[blazing aurora]

this

i've never been too clumsy so i prefer caseless or a skin

why buy a shiny new toy if you're gonna cover it with cheap plastic in a week?

[hollow grail]

get a new wife

jk mine literally throws her phone

[fossil halo]

that was me

except i am not a wife

i literally dropped my phone the day i got it

and then locked it up in my closet until my case arrived

i mean thats the reason why i got like the cheapest model

[potent portal]

I think they design these things to slip out of hands

[fossil halo]

like idgaf about color bc im not gonna see it anyway

[fossil halo]

DEADASSSS LMFAOOO

[junior crescent]

Should i get the 6800 or 6800 xt??

[wanton cliff]

Whichever one you can get first

But why those cards specifically

[fossil halo]

do u think the 6700 is gonna be less of a bruh than the 3060

[wanton cliff]

Yes

As far as raw power goes

And VRAM probably

[fossil halo]

might wait for aht

that

i mean

i dont really have a choice

do u think it'll be better than the 3060ti

i dont think so

[wanton cliff]

Nah

[fossil halo]

yea

i think ima just stick to that

3060ti founders

but the workers need water

[wanton cliff]

@maiden bough

What is your question exactly

[earnest olive]

5950x + 3070 is a weird pairing

are you getting that for gaming

or productivity + gaming

or productivity only

[flint sapphire]

I say buy a x570 Taichi for memes

[maiden bough]

planning on making videos and gaming

[earnest olive]

dude the x570 taichi is such a gorgeous board

i used one recently

[wanton cliff]

Very weird pairing

[maiden bough]

i heard ryzen is better for content creation

[flint sapphire]

I really want one

[wanton cliff]

Ok wait

[earnest olive]

which is more important to you? video editing or gaming

[wanton cliff]

3070 has a relatively small amount of VRAM

[earnest olive]

and are you running renders all day?

[wanton cliff]

I would get a 3080 at least these days

For content creation and gaming

Especially with a 5950x

[earnest olive]

if you aren't rendering 24/7 you would be much better served by a 5900X + 3080

[maiden bough]

what would be a better pairing to get with it

[wanton cliff]

5900x slightly better for gaming

So 5900x + 3080

Maybe 32/64 gigs of RAM

[earnest olive]

B550 AORUS ELITE is my favorite bang for the buck board with vrms sufficient to overclock a 5950X

[wanton cliff]

Easier to get a high MT/s rate on 32

[maiden bough]

yea but price for 3070 vs 3080 is pretty big

[flint sapphire]

Even a 5800x would be fine I’d imagine if he’s editing 1080p

[earnest olive]

so is 5900x vs 5950x lol

[maiden bough]

true

[flint sapphire]

And that’s actually in stock

[wanton cliff]

Also what resolution are you going to be playing in

[maiden bough]

so 5900 and 3070?

[wanton cliff]

5900x and 3080

[fossil halo]

nah

3080

3070 a kinda dogwater card imo in terms of price to perf

[maiden bough]

1440 mostly maybe 4k if it can run it

[earnest olive]

i mean

[wanton cliff]

“If I can run it”

[earnest olive]

i'm running a 3600x with a 3080 at 1440p and seeing no meaningful bottleneck

[flint sapphire]

Oh yeah 3080.

[maiden bough]

lmfao

[earnest olive]

so

[wanton cliff]

3080 is a 4K gaming card

[fossil halo]

like with that juicy 3060ti like 100$ less

[wanton cliff]

Easily

[fossil halo]

yea

[earnest olive]

you really should not be considering pairing a 5900x with a 3070

let alone a 5950x

[fossil halo]

or i mean you could go for the 3090 for that 8k gaming

[wanton cliff]

No

Stop bigga

Jokes aren’t allowed

[maiden bough]

so 5900 for 3080 what would go good with 3070

[fossil halo]

sowwy

[earnest olive]

3070 at 1440p?

[fossil halo]

5600

x

[earnest olive]

i5-10400 and ryzen 5 3600 are good enough

[fossil halo]

yea

[earnest olive]

but you are also doing video editing so

[fossil halo]

well actually

[earnest olive]

better cpu is fine

[wanton cliff]

5900x and 3080 is about the perfect pairing right now

[fossil halo]

yea

[earnest olive]

those cpus are good for the 3070 at 1440p in a purely gaming scenario

[fossil halo]

all jokes aside 3080 is a really good balanced card

[wanton cliff]

The people who are going to be getting 3090s are also going to be getting 5950xes

[flint sapphire]

If you wanna save a buck tho imo just go with a 5800x 🤷‍♂️

[fossil halo]

tru

but

[earnest olive]

just get 5900X + 3080 or even 10850K + 3080 if you want to save more money

i'd rather go 10850K than 5800X

[fossil halo]

wow

true

intel is kinda poggers sometimes

but not all the time

[earnest olive]

10850K is like $335-350 now

[flint sapphire]

The hate on the 8 core

[earnest olive]

for 10 cores

[flint sapphire]

Tru

[maiden bough]

what motherboard would go best with the 5900 and 3080

[fossil halo]

i got the 8 core 3700x

[earnest olive]

why buy the 8 core 5800X for $450 when the 10850K is $335-350

[wanton cliff]

TUF X570 IMO

[fossil halo]

ah yes

tuf is really good

[wanton cliff]

X570 pro that is

[maiden bough]

spank you

[fossil halo]

tuf is best price to perf

[wanton cliff]

Specifically

[earnest olive]

intel is also not having the growing pains zen 3 is having so that is a consideration

[flint sapphire]

If it’s on sale grab a taichi cuz it’s pretty

[fossil halo]

yea

[flint sapphire]

[wanton cliff]

Also with a 5900x get a 3800mhz low CL (below 18) RAM kit

[earnest olive]

i'm still rooting for B550 AORUS ELITE

[wanton cliff]

32 gigs maybe

[fossil halo]

isnt there that one msi high end motherboard

that is absolute garbage

is it that gaming edge thing

is that even msi

[wanton cliff]

MPG?

Idk

I just wouldn’t go MSI for a board

[fossil halo]

i jsut heard htat its horrible for the prie

[flint sapphire]

Honestly avoid msi. The software is also nightmare fuel

[maiden bough]

so
RTX 3080
Ryzen 8 5900
TUF X570 IMO

[earnest olive]

the B550 AORUS ELITE is significantly cheaper than the X570 TUF for similar VRM quality, 1 more of each type of RGB header, same fan headers, has USB 3.0 on the bottom for better cable management (imo), no chipset fan (i don't like the idea of a hard to replace fan with limited lifespan on my mobo), same audio codec

[maiden bough]

ryzen 9*

[earnest olive]

as long as you don't need the X570 features, i recommend the B550 AORUS ELITE

[wanton cliff]

TUF X570 PRO*

Aorus elite works too

[maiden bough]

got it

[wanton cliff]

But I prefer everything else about Asus boards

[earnest olive]

X570 TUF PRO: $232.49
B550 AORUS ELITE: $159.99

[wanton cliff]

From bios to looks to features, I much prefer Asus

[fossil halo]

i want a good bigagyte mobo

[wanton cliff]

Also, B550 Aorus Elite vs Tuf B550 Plus Gaming?

[flint sapphire]

Taichis looks tho

[fossil halo]

b550 ds3h is kinda lame

lfmao

my man darvan with his taichi

[earnest olive]

i am literally talking about a good gigabyte b550 board right now..

[fossil halo]

isnt the taichi mad expensive

[wanton cliff]

It’s budget mATX, what do you expect?

[flint sapphire]

Goes on sale for like 200$ every blue moon

[maiden bough]

so cheaper and looks better but would it perform the same?

[fossil halo]

true

[wanton cliff]

B550 Aorus Elite vs Tuf B550 Plus Gaming?

[fossil halo]

i got it cheap on black friday

[earnest olive]

the b550 tuf is pretty much the same thing as the x570 tuf minus the chipset difference

so

everything still applies

[wanton cliff]

It’s also $150

Ish

[desert gulch]

Thermals still good on 550 tuf?

[earnest olive]

except they're the same price ish

so

at that point

i think the b550 aorus elite looks better but that's obviously subjective

[wanton cliff]

Tuf B550 has flashback and is $150, cheaper than the Aorus one?

[earnest olive]

i also definitely need more than 1 argb header

[little osprey]

Sara

smh

[earnest olive]

tuf has 2 rgb 1 argb, aorus elite has 3 rgb 2 argb

[fossil halo]

the b550m tuf prime plus wifi elite [insert more marketing terms here] is such a good matx board

[little osprey]

you own the card

[fossil halo]

i want it so bad

[little osprey]

you know giga💩 is bad

smh

[earnest olive]

tuf is a no go for me because i need 2 argb headers

[desert gulch]

Bruh model over brand

[fossil halo]

this thing

[little osprey]

gigapoops entire GPU lineup is ass

[desert gulch]

Nope

[fossil halo]

stop the cap

[earnest olive]

my b550 aorus elite is powering 8 argb fans and argb water block lol

[desert gulch]

Thier 5700xt was one of the best value

[little osprey]

laughs in constant 110c VRAM temps and thermal throttling

[little osprey]

Sorry

Up to date lineup

[desert gulch]

O

[earnest olive]

tbf this is only in mining

[little osprey]

it heavily affects video editing and the works

[earnest olive]

i tested the vision pre-mod in intense gaming and it hit 92C no throttling

[little osprey]

well duh

its gaming

:p

[earnest olive]

the outer worlds at 1440p ultra 180 fps

[desert gulch]

I woulda gone with giga 5700xt except pulse looked better and $10 cheaper

[little osprey]

have you tried seeing what the temps were on VR gaming?

[earnest olive]

no i don't have any vr stuff

[flint sapphire]

Mando just comes in swinging

[earnest olive]

also i mean it really is a beautiful board

[fossil halo]

true

[wanton cliff]

I prefer TUF or Strix

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fossil halo]

bibagyte is pretty good

[earnest olive]

i want to see it with the lighting set to white

[fossil halo]

asrock mobos kinda clean doe 😳

everything else about them is trash

[earnest olive]

ehh

[fossil halo]

polychrome 🤮 bios 🤮

[earnest olive]

i disagree

asrock z490 is basically all trash

but b450 pro4 and b550 pro4 are great boards for their price segment

[fossil halo]

like my friend has a b550m asrock

and its pretty clean looking

but thats about all thats good about it

[wanton cliff]

I’ll buy one for you if you pay me 2x as much to sell it to you

[earnest olive]

asrock b550m pro4 having post codes on a $105 mobo is incredible

i was doing a build on a b550 pro4 ($135) that wouldn't boot

post codes told me it was a defective usb wifi adapter

that would have been really hard to catch without post codes

a lot of more expensive boards don't have post codes

[flint sapphire]

Ex. All of msis lineup

[earnest olive]

really impressive feature to have on such cheap boards

[flint sapphire]

[earnest olive]

and the B450 pro4 for $80 was an insanely good budget board

good enough vrms to max out overclocking a 3700x

could consistently run 3600mhz ram on it

[fossil halo]

dang

[earnest olive]

i have done builds on 5 of them

[fossil halo]

wasnt the best budget b450 the tomahawk tho

that was like the

[flint sapphire]

Yeah

[fossil halo]

#1 go to budget b450

[earnest olive]

nah

i had the b450 tomahawk max

$125

[fossil halo]

but then msi

[earnest olive]

not impressive

[fossil halo]

like i remember when i was watching hella build guides before i built my pc

[earnest olive]

i ended up selling it in a customer build because i was so sick of MSI

[flint sapphire]

Just avoid the software

[fossil halo]

and everyone used the b450 tomahawk

[earnest olive]

popular =/= good

the nzxt h510 is popular.

[fossil halo]

true

[flint sapphire]

Install it once to mess with lights delete it then pray

[fossil halo]

lmfao

[earnest olive]

corsair vengeance lpx ram is popular.

[fossil halo]

n zed xt

lmfao

[earnest olive]

cm 212 cooler is popular.

[fossil halo]

true

that is true

well then

sheesh

[earnest olive]

count the number of b450 pro4

lol

i love that board

[fossil halo]

holy

[earnest olive]

this is my idea of room decor lol

[fossil halo]

https://tenor.com/view/fat-guy-drooling-mouth-gif-13362741

omg

[earnest olive]

i am really sad that i didn't get to finish the build with the x570 taichi

[fossil halo]

bro thats insane

[earnest olive]

the customer only wanted me to partially assemble cause he had a 5950x and 3090 on hand

[fossil halo]

oh u do customer builds

[earnest olive]

it would have been such a sick build

it had the snowblind case where the glass panel is a monitor

[fossil halo]

true

ohhhh

that thing is so cool

[earnest olive]

asus rog ryuo aio with oled screen on water block

x570 taichi

[flint sapphire]

[earnest olive]

would look so cool

[fossil halo]

its a square display

on the rog aio

[earnest olive]

i am adding a 7 inch monitor inside my pc tomorrow

[fossil halo]

nzxt one looks cooler

[earnest olive]

yeah but the nzxt one wasn't in stock

[fossil halo]

oo send pics in #build-pics

[earnest olive]

i made an animated audio responsive wallpaper for it in wallpaper engine

[flint sapphire]

Nice

[fossil halo]

send tho

in buld pics

tomorrow

[earnest olive]

so i'm just gonna run that on the mini monitor and use it as a decorated panel

yeah i will post a video

[fossil halo]

sometimes that channel is so cool

other times its like

bruh

[earnest olive]

i've spent way too much money on making my pc look cool to not show it off

lol

[fossil halo]

LOL

i spent too much money on rgb

[earnest olive]

the amount of money i've spent on decorations is like

3 times the cost of my cpu

[fossil halo]

LMFAO

[flint sapphire]

Yeahhhh I just have a tinted glass meshify c so I don’t really have to pay attention to looks

[earnest olive]

i have a ryzen 5 3600x

the box for the x570 taichi is also really cool

it's like a briefcase

[fossil halo]

bro rgb with tinted glass is so clean

wdym

[earnest olive]

haven't seen another box like it

[flint sapphire]

God I wanted that board

[fossil halo]

bc u dont see any of the ugly mobo stuff

[earnest olive]

although it's the only board i've bought in that price segment

[fossil halo]

how much is it

im gonna guess for 500

[earnest olive]

average customer budget is like $960 for the whole build

$300

[flint sapphire]

Yeah Ik

[fossil halo]

ooh

mine is dlm21 mewsh

mesh*

p cool case ig

[earnest olive]

i like the b550 aorus elite's looks because it's basically an unassuming black slab

no ugly white streaks on pcb

[fossil halo]

ds3h intensifies

[earnest olive]

it's pretty much the closest you can get to a sheet of black for a mobo

[tame ridge]

could i pull of a $650-700 pc rn?

[fossil halo]

lmao

[fossil halo]

depends

[earnest olive]

you can turn off the orange accent lights

or set them to white like i do

[fossil halo]

on what performance you are looking for

[earnest olive]

the only problem is the red audio chokes

but i am gonna hide them with the monitor

[fossil halo]

ah

900iq

[earnest olive]

really good looking board to put in a white case

out of the midrange boards

you can obviously get a better looking one if you shell out tons of money

[tame ridge]

literally running minecraft and fortnite at 60fps 1080p with discord/spotify/youtube in the background

[earnest olive]

uhh

your laptop can do that

why do you want to build a pc to do it too

[tame ridge]

idk

just looking at options

[earnest olive]

just hook up your laptop to a monitor and peripherals if you want a sitdown experience

lol

[tame ridge]

ok

[earnest olive]

your laptop can prob do 144 fps in fortnite

if you want to get a 144hz monitor

[tame ridge]

ok

[earnest olive]

$700 pc build would lose to your laptop so there's just no point

right now $700 gets you a build centered around a used gtx 1060

gtx 1070 if you're extremely lucky

[tame ridge]

oof

[earnest olive]

1660ti mobile beats 1060 desktop

[fossil halo]

my dream build is this

#build-pics message

ah yes

i am totally not all the words that twitch banned

[earnest olive]

lol

i could put an anime girl on my mini monitor if i wanted to

[fossil halo]

dang

[earnest olive]

instead i'm putting venti..

not sure if that's any better

[tame ridge]

no

put a anime girl

[wanton cliff]

Make it Rei

[tame ridge]

a.k.a. Tohru or Kanna

[earnest olive]

i don't watch anime i don't know who any of those are except kanna

[tame ridge]

wow

[flint sapphire]

[tame ridge]

Tohru is my pfp

[fossil halo]

i used to watch anime

[wanton cliff]

Rei Ayanami, the character in my PFP, and best girl since 1995

[tame ridge]

nah

[flint sapphire]

Put the entire rotoscoped chika dance on it

[earnest olive]

i know who chika is cause my gf cosplayed her

[fossil halo]

the hottest girl that i ever saw in anime is this

[earnest olive]

ok

[tame ridge]

true

[earnest olive]

you convinced me

[fossil halo]

thats it

[wanton cliff]

JONASAN JOESTAR

[earnest olive]

i am going to watch anime now

for that

[fossil halo]

LMAO

[wanton cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/speedwagon-jojo-jobro-gif-14786325

Speedwagon best girl

[flint sapphire]

No no make it the rotoscoped chika dance tho

[earnest olive]

ok my friend wants me to go revise their essay

pce

[fossil halo]

382472934768295629865246587362856956487672345% agreed

[flint sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/chika-fujiwara-dance-cute-kawaii-gif-13410270

[wanton cliff]

I can’t believe some people actually think Tohru is best girl

[fossil halo]

tequila joseph is best girl smh

or speedwagon

both are pretty best girls ngl

[tame ridge]

-_-

Rei is probably older than you

[wanton cliff]

On Jah tho, that show was actually pretty cool, but Evangelion is infinity times better

[fossil halo]

fuutaro's dad is pretty damn thicc ngl

[wanton cliff]

And so what if she is?

[tame ridge]

idk it just weird

[fossil halo]

lmao

[tame ridge]

26 year old anime

[fossil halo]

wow

initial d is my favorite old anime

[wanton cliff]

Also by far the most popular anime of all time

[fossil halo]

does it count as old

[tame ridge]

exactly

[fossil halo]

its like 1998 i think

s1 at least

[tame ridge]

kobayashi's dragon maid is popular

but

[fossil halo]

when build-chat turns into anime-chat

[tame ridge]

thats what happens

[fossil halo]

true

i keep saying it it is still so true build chat is literally just a more subdued general

[wanton cliff]

It’s a seasonal anime, people forget about it until season 2 comes out

[tame ridge]

true

[wanton cliff]

Can’t wait for season 2 tbh

[tame ridge]

im so excited for season 2

[fossil halo]

ok im going to do homework so i can go to sleep

bye

[tame ridge]

bye

[wanton cliff]

(Eva still better tho)

[tame ridge]

nah

[flint sapphire]

Whomst remembers aldnoah zero

Lmao

[wanton cliff]

[still roost]

reprahnoah#3538 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tame ridge]

damn

[flint sapphire]

Whomst

[wanton cliff]

[earnest olive]

why are you discussing this in build chat

[wanton cliff]

Good question

Mind helping me delete?

Alright, Tohru’s messages may need to be deleted

[stoic island]

My domain is being turned into anime chat :D

[wanton cliff]

Yes

And you will be greatful

[stoic island]

Dragon maid s2 will be interesting

@wanton cliff we need more kanna eating things

[hollow grail]

saras domain was turned into pepe bean

[stoic island]

I claim build chat as my domain

And as the owner of the domain, my first act is to make it anime chat

[maiden bough]

does anyone know how big the 3080 is

i dont want to get a case too small lmao

[little osprey]

don't get anything smaller than a p400

^

Biggest gpu is 330mm iirc

[maiden bough]

found a case thats 405 mm x 201 mm x 435 mm

would that do?

[little osprey]

No

look at how much it gives for GPU clearance

not the dimensions

@maiden bough

[maiden bough]

im not too sure how to do that

should i send the link of the case

[little osprey]

if they don't have that specified on the manufacturer's page its a bad case

[remote kelp]

im not sure if this is loose wiring to the psu (again), im trying to run benchmarks and test games on pc to check everything runs okay (heaven & furmark), i still feel like the gpu randomly crashes whenever it feels like it during the benchmarks (sometimes when i run them one after the other consecutively so possibly overheating? but temps don't go over ~70c max) BUT if it manages to not crash then it gets pretty decent scores on them (4.3k heaven w/ extreme tesselation & 11.5k furmark), minecraft also still randomly crashes with access_violation_error and "problematic frame c 0x00000000", rma on gpu said nothing was wrong with it, ran memtest86 for 2 passes and no errors, cpu benchmark also did alright. could it be loose wires again (cable -> psu rather than cable -> gpu this time)?

[uncut pelican]

Whats your psu

[prime plover]

Just built my pc but when i try turning it on it keeps clicking. Any idea how to fix it? Is there a cord im missing?

[remote kelp]

corsair rm850

also i notice you have exactly the same gpu/cpu as i do lol

(461.76 drivers)

[uncut pelican]

Oh lol i run a 650 psu lol

[remote kelp]

i lowkey wish i got a different case

[gusty pasture]

hi

[uncut pelican]

Hi

[remote kelp]

current case makes unplugging/replugging the psu cables super difficult

[gusty pasture]

u know about nvme drives?

[uncut pelican]

So im not totally sure why it would be crashing

[uncut pelican]

Yes

[gusty pasture]

once ur done here casn you go in storage plz?

[remote kelp]

it's a lot better than before (after i made sure psu cables actually clicked into the gpu, before it was giving me errors like absolutely everywhere) but still happens sometimes

and minecraft still throws itself off a cliff sometimes even though it runs fine (read: doesn't crash) on lappy without fiddling with anything

[uncut pelican]

Use shaders?

[remote kelp]

optifine

and vanilla

both versions give same error

[uncut pelican]

Hm thats weird

Whats the error

[remote kelp]

"exception_access_violation c0x00000005"

and 0x00000000 for the problematic frame

top stack with all the hex codes leads me to the opengl 64 dll file

[uncut pelican]

Have you looked up what those are?

[remote kelp]

apparently it's trying to write in a null memory space or something?

a lot of people have exception access violations but i havent been able to find many with 0x00000000 as the precise issue

[uncut pelican]

Weird

[jagged ember]

Reinstalling mc?

[remote kelp]

think i did that earlier, trying it again

[jagged ember]

Sure

[remote kelp]

mm still crashing

tried turning render distance, biome blend and entity distance to minimum and it didn't help

maybe java is clashing with something but i cant think of what

but if i tell it to use the java version i downloaded the game doesn't even launch, also tried giving it more ram

edit - tried heaven benchmark right after and it crashed, but furmark managed to finish

[prime plover]

Hey guys my pc keeps making a clicking noise when I try and turn it on. I have checked all of the connections and they all seem tight and correct. Could someone help with this issue? First build.

[worn wave]

What type of clicking noise

Do you know where its from?

[prime plover]

It repetetively clicks from somewhere near the power supply.

[worn wave]

Do you have another PSU you could try to use

[prime plover]

I read online that it is an issue with power being delivered to the motherboard, but I don't know how to fix it.

[prime plover]

no only this one.

[worn wave]

Try unplugging all PSU connections and plugging them back in

[prime plover]

Yeah that's what I just did.

Perhaps I don't have the right connections.

Could I list to you what I have and you tell me what Im missing?

[worn wave]

You have GPU, MB, and CPU connected right?

That's all you should need, could you send multiple good photos of the motherboard area

[prime plover]

Yep cpu, 24 pin motherboard, my gpu doesn't need a power supply.

Sure Ill send photos.

[jagged ember]

@remote kelp try running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth one after the other in powershell as admin

smol gpu

[prime plover]

It wont get to the powershell because of this issue.

[worn wave]

Are you sure your CPU is plugged in

Wideus is not talking to you

[jagged ember]

baby gpu

[worn wave]

Would you be able to take a video of it turning on?

[prime plover]

The cords that came with the power supply had it labeled as cpu, and it connects to the cpu, and it connects to the part of the power supply labeled cpu.

mmm I dont think so.

[prime plover]

Yes this is not my permanent gpu.

[jagged ember]

so he's having clicking issues

[worn wave]

Yes

[jagged ember]

its still turning on i assume

[prime plover]

no

[jagged ember]

ah

clicking is a weird thing

[worn wave]

Well, a video would help to hear it

[jagged ember]

what mobo is it

could be an error code

[prime plover]

Let me get the exact name...

[worn wave]

Do any of the fans spin?

[prime plover]

Asus tuf gaming x570-plus(wifi)

[jagged ember]

gotcha

one sec

[prime plover]

No I don't think so

Let me see though

[worn wave]

So then it most likely is a PSU problem

[prime plover]

The cpu fan jutters.

[worn wave]

So it is getting power

[prime plover]

at the same rate as the clickin.

[worn wave]

Try reseating the RAM and the CPU

and possibly the GPU

[prime plover]

k

Cpu would be hard.

to reseat.

[jagged ember]

okay, looks like youve got error leds

which is nice

do they light up when you turn on your pc?

[prime plover]

let me check

wait where are the lights actually located.

[jagged ember]

right at 7

so next to your ram

[prime plover]

k

thanks

[jagged ember]

also the clicking is probably because wire is touching back fan

so cable manage and it should go away

[prime plover]

no they don't light up

[jagged ember]

hm
