Ok, so not the ram, unless they’re both bad

#

Haven’t tried doing those two, let me do that

muted patio
#

now that I'm thinking about it

#

Yo installed the standoff for the M.2 drive right?

#

and screwed it down

inland quartz
#

Yes

muted patio
#

Good

inland quartz
#

Nothing

#

I tried doing one at a time to pin point it, but nothing

ruby sigil
#

anyone got a cheap build for minecraft and other triple a hames

muted patio
inland quartz
#

A hammer might be the fix right now lol 😂

#

Honestly, I appreciate you taking the time to help. I’m going to try what you said. There is also a micro center nearby, though they told me they may take 21 days to get back to me. I’m gonna save your name and once I discover what it was I’ll shoot you a dm

muted patio
#

Id be curious to know thanks!!

inland quartz
#

🤘 have a good night!

obsidian sluice
#

heya, anyone around?

wanton cliff
#

yes

#

whatchya need

obsidian sluice
#

so, building a PCfor a friend after his died in a power outage.

#

problem is no video out

wanton cliff
#

interesting

#

this isnt for gaming or aything then?

obsidian sluice
#

did realize that the RAM on that list is not on the compar list so tried one that is

#

some gaming, general internet, writing

wanton cliff
#

wdym by 'some'

obsidian sluice
#

didn't buy a vid card because we had a working radeon R9 380 that was good

#

not hardcore or competitive, more than just casual games

wanton cliff
#

hardcore and competitive games are generally the best optimized and least demanding

obsidian sluice
#

my friend is disabled but has been writing for a couple of game projects

wanton cliff
#

I see

#

what would be your total budget for this and what exactly do you expect to get out of it? High settings 60 fps on recent games or older games on lower settings?

obsidian sluice
#

have tried multiple known good vid cards as well as on board, monitor will accept DP and HDMI, both cables and monitor test good (using a laptop)

#

you misunderstand? we have th parts, it's just not working

desert gulch
#

ok

obsidian sluice
#

also I have been building machines for decades, and I am at a loss for what else to check

desert gulch
#

um you have another pc that works that you could swap component by component in to see whats not working?

stoic island
#

@obsidian sluice I assume reset cmos already, do you have debug LEDs on your board?

obsidian sluice
#

tried: multiple vid cards, on board vid (HDMI, don't have a VGA monitor). cleared CMOS. reseated everything. tested power supply, outputs in spec. removed everything except CPU, cooler, RAM and power

#

no leds

desert gulch
#

fans spin when you press power button?

stoic island
#

Tried single stick in each slot (1 stick a1, boot, remove stick, 1 stick a2, boot, remove stick, etc)?

obsidian sluice
#

now, I did notice that the RAM wasn't on the compat list so got some that is, chnge from errors (no able connected, no signal' to just 'n signal' but still no video

#

tred that with the old RAM...

#

fans spin, lights up

stoic island
#

Fun, what specific kit of ram did you get?

obsidian sluice
#

just tried single stick of RAM w. on board HDMI output, no signal

#

corsair CMD32GX4M2C3200C16

#

on the old ram would give a no cable error as well as no signal, w. the new ram only gives 'no signal'

#

oh, aso new seasonic 650w PS

viral ore
#

corsair ram cringe

stoic island
#

@obsidian sluice weird question, but, any USB devices plugged in?

#

(keyboard, mouse, headset, etc, anything usb)

desert gulch
#

ahh you think usb controller is screwing up mr1?

stoic island
#

Possibly, worth a try

#

Z490 pro4 does seem to not have debug LEDs so that's sad

#

Everything so far should be compatible without issues

obsidian sluice
#

no usb connected; right now is only mobo, cpu, ram power and sometimes vid card that worked before

little osprey
stoic island
#

As a preparatory measure, could you unplug all cables not essential to boot? @obsidian sluice (Aka, leave CPU_Fan plugged in, but might want to unplug chassis fans, unplug front panel io, unplug case usb, etc)

desert gulch
stoic island
#

When things are weird, might as well take as many extra factors out as possible

desert gulch
#

b460 cant oc ram past 2666 with an i5

#

also

#

get a cheaper m.2

#

sn750 is rly good rn

#

should be 62 bucks or so

obsidian sluice
#

<nods> I did still have case audio and SB connected, just tested w/o no change

desert gulch
little osprey
#

what do you recomend

desert gulch
#

id go for a segotep one

little osprey
#

ok

desert gulch
#

one sec ill lgrab a linmk

obsidian sluice
#

? why do you say that? my understanding is that season is one ofthe better brands and build for several other brands

#

Seasonic, sorry ca't type

stoic island
#

@desert gulch CX-F isn't bad, it's basically just a CX with RGB

desert gulch
#

still for price theres prolly better

#

especially since you cant see rgb in that case

stoic island
#

Yea for the price there are better, but some people like spending extra for rgb..?

desert gulch
#

cause it has a shroud

#

im betting it intakes from below

#

so you wouldnt even see it

obsidian sluice
#

don'tcare about lighting at all

stoic island
#

@obsidian sluice I believe most of Corsair's PSUs still come from CWT, not Seasonic, although I do believe some of their high end models like the HX are OEMed by Seasonic

obsidian sluice
#

and the intake fan is toward the case not the bottom

desert gulch
#

depends if case has filtered intake on bottom

#

for it

little osprey
desert gulch
#

both are fine

little osprey
#

ok

desert gulch
#

whats your budget for this build?

little osprey
#

less than 1500

desert gulch
#

ok

stoic island
#

Anyways, with your case @obsidian sluice , might be time to poke customer support for various parts about RMAs for possible DoAs? For whatever you haven't been able to test as working (Motherboard, and I believe you haven't tested ram to be working on other systems yet? and the PSU?)

desert gulch
#

so 1500 means monitor too?

#

and keeb and mouse?

little osprey
#

yes

desert gulch
#

ok

#

ill make list real quick

little osprey
#

ok

obsidian sluice
desert gulch
#

just gaming?

#

or will you be editing and stuff?

little osprey
#

litterally everithing a human being can do on a computer

#

so ill be editing in blender playing games etc

desert gulch
#

ok

#

one sec

#

you need wifi?

little osprey
#

yes

#

wifi 6 is prefered

desert gulch
#

ok

#

mr1 you know of any good wifi 6 adapter?

stoic island
#

ax200 pcie adapters for like 30$

desert gulch
#

ok

#

they wifi 6?

stoic island
#

ax200 is the Intel wifi 6 m.2 chip

desert gulch
#

hmm

#

cant find it on pcpp

#

you have a link to it?

stoic island
#

well, might want a heatsink or smth on that

#

a lot of different adapters have ax200

obsidian sluice
#

Mr1111 yeah, was leaning towards an RMA, was hoping to find something I had missed. I had called newegg RMA support and they suggested I try here

desert gulch
#

is the link i posted good?

stoic island
desert gulch
#

ok

#

looks good

stoic island
#

@obsidian sluice Might also want to contact manufacturers (Like Asrock), since they'd be the people that would know about any product-specific issues that might not be common knowledge.

desert gulch
#

mr1 how much is a good keeb+mouse would you say?

obsidian sluice
#

I fille din the webform at asrock's site with the same questions, expect at least tomorrow for a reply. Thanks again for your and everyone's help!

desert gulch
stoic island
#

:)

desert gulch
#

budget 1500 and that includes pc and all periphals, monitor and stuff

stoic island
#

not bad

desert gulch
#

could prolly cut it down a bit

stoic island
#

don't like 10700f with current situation lel

desert gulch
#

ye

stoic island
#

Might want iGPU to last you a bit

desert gulch
#

cheaper than 3700x tho at least

#

3700x is 330

#

actually 10700 non f is like 5 bucks more rn

#

so ig why not

little osprey
desert gulch
#

but yeah

#

one thing on there

#

10700 is better deal maybe rn

#

so you can have igpu so you can wait to grab a 3060ti at msrp

tawny plover
#

im here

muted patio
#

What motherboard @tawny plover ?

tawny plover
#

um

#

one sec let me copy it off this thing

#

Gigabyte B460M DS3H

muted patio
#

Ram is in the gray slots?

#

CPU 8 pin power is plugged in?

tawny plover
#

yes i only have one stick

muted patio
#

Gray slot closest to CPU?

tawny plover
#

cpu power says PCIE on the cable right?

#

and ram is in black slot closest to cpu

muted patio
#

Ah, should be gray slot closes to CPU

#

NO

tawny plover
#

why not the black one

#

its closer

muted patio
#

NOT PCI-E POWER

tawny plover
#

why

#

it fit in

muted patio
#

And because the board needs the ram in the gray slot

#

PCI-E Power is different from CPU P OWER

tawny plover
#

oh

muted patio
#

PCI-E power is for graphics cards ONLY

tawny plover
#

i just found first cable that would fit in there

#

ok

muted patio
#

Ok

#

Change that cable

tawny plover
#

i dont have one yet

#

ok

muted patio
#

Change the ram to the gray slot

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

Should work after that

tawny plover
#

is ram susposed to take a bunch of force to install?

muted patio
#

CPU power might also be 2 4 pin plugs

tawny plover
#

feels like it could snap the motherboard

muted patio
#

SOmetimes it can be tough, yes. Slot it in straight up and down, not angled

#

Then click one end at a time

tawny plover
#

yes

muted patio
#

Not click both ends in by pushing on the middle

tawny plover
#

it goes in a lot harder than the tutorials i saw online

muted patio
#

One end at a time

#

click click

tawny plover
#

ok

#

one sec

#

ok it is in gray slot closest to cpu

muted patio
#

Ok, now for the CPU power

#

It might be 2 4 pin cables

#

Not a single solid 8 pin

#

or 6+2

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

Your power supply should have one

#

It will be labeled ATX12V or CPU

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

Or 4+4

tawny plover
#

ok lemme look for them quick

#

i tucked all my cables under the cover thing of case

#

where theres a bunch of room that you cant see through glass panel

muted patio
#

Ya lol

#

Dig em out ,get the right one

tawny plover
#

ok

#

found it but now im going to untangle it so it can reach

#

ok got it in

#

it was a 8 pin, not a 4+4 or 6+2

#

is that a good thing?

#

said cpu on it

muted patio
#

That's fine yes

#

6+2 is ALWAYS for graphics card

#

8 or 4+4 is for cpu

#

Try it again now

tawny plover
#

ok

#

one sec i gotta plug it in

#

since i didnt want to shock myself while working on it

muted patio
#

Smart

#

👍

tawny plover
#

is it normal to have a 20+4 for the big connector?

#

all tutorials i have seen have a 24

muted patio
#

Yes

tawny plover
#

not a split one

#

ok

muted patio
#

It's fine

tawny plover
#

fans are all spinning

#

nothing on monitor

muted patio
#

That's good

#

give it a bit

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

MIght restart once or twice

tawny plover
#

i did test monitor and cables using my ps4

#

and it worked with my ps4

#

so i know monitor and cable are good

muted patio
#

That's good also

tawny plover
#

still nothing

muted patio
#

Hmmmm

tawny plover
#

is my power supply flipped the wrong way?

#

is the fan susposed to be up?

muted patio
#

That doesn't matter, fan usually goes down though

tawny plover
#

ok

#

i put it down

muted patio
#

If there's a hole in the case under PSU, fan goes down

tawny plover
#

because there is a filter there

#

yes there is

#

still nothing on monitor

#

didnt seem to restart

#

fans just keep spinning

muted patio
#

Yeah and there are no diagnostic lights on the board either

tawny plover
#

no lights

muted patio
#

Going to be hard to say what's wrong with it

#

You said no graphics card right?

tawny plover
#

not yet

muted patio
#

Ok

tawny plover
#

i want to get rtx 3070

#

but cant find one at a good price yet

#

nothing below 600 that ive seen

#

US dollars

muted patio
#

CPU fan is plugged in at the top by the ram slots?

tawny plover
#

yes

muted patio
#

So, what I would do now is unplug it from the wall. Take out the button cell battery for 1-2 minutes. Put it back in, plug the PC back into the wall and try and boot it again

tawny plover
#

ok

#

unplugged

#

luckily i dont have a graphics card in right now so i can get the battery out

#

ok battery is out

muted patio
#

Leave it out for a full minute

tawny plover
#

ok

#

its a good sign that when it was on my hard drive was making noise like it was working right?

muted patio
#

Like, just spinning?

#

That just means it's getting power because the power supply is on

tawny plover
#

sounded like a hardrive running

#

you know that sound?

muted patio
#

Like a hum or clicking??

tawny plover
#

yeah kinda

#

oh did you promote me?

muted patio
#

No

tawny plover
#

who did

muted patio
#

Roles happen automatically

#

😉

tawny plover
#

oh ok

#

lol thought i was good or something

muted patio
#

It's just spending time and posting here

tawny plover
#

how long until i get orange rank

muted patio
#

Oh, very long time

tawny plover
#

a year?

muted patio
#

orange is either MOderator assistant or newegg staff

tawny plover
#

can i ever earn that?

muted patio
#

Possibly, yes!

tawny plover
#

cool

muted patio
#

Newegg Staff you have to work for Newegg lol

tawny plover
#

ok lol

#

maybe i will, who knows

muted patio
#

And, I'm not staff

tawny plover
#

should i plug pg back in now?

muted patio
#

Ok, put the battery back in and try again

tawny plover
#

ok

#

battery first or plug first?

muted patio
#

battery first

tawny plover
#

ok

#

battery is in

#

and it is plugged in now

muted patio
#

Turn it on

tawny plover
#

do i turn it on now?

#

ok

#

nothing yet

muted patio
#

There is a chance you damaged the CPU or motherboard by using the wrong cable. The power and grounds are complete opposites. Just letting you know you may have to return one or the other

tawny plover
#

oh

#

nothing popped or sparked

muted patio
#

It doesn't have to to cause damage

tawny plover
#

quick question. Is the switch on the back of my power supply suposed to feel stuck in the middle when flipping it?

muted patio
#

Well

tawny plover
#

feels almost like a notch in the middle

muted patio
#

Some do

#

But if your fans are spinning it's working

tawny plover
#

takes a ton of force to move it

muted patio
#

That's not.....ideal

#

Are you using an HDMI cable>?

tawny plover
#

yes

muted patio
#

Unp0lug it and plug it back in

tawny plover
#

monitor is a free one i got a while ago

muted patio
#

if it works it works though

tawny plover
#

so it only supports some weird cable and hdmi

muted patio
#

White end cable?

#

That's DVI

#

Blue is VGA

tawny plover
#

its blue

muted patio
#

VGA then

#

Old, old school

tawny plover
#

yeah its an old dell one

#

ok i unplugged hdmi at both ends

muted patio
#

Any luck unplugging and plugging?

#

Should have an image by now

tawny plover
#

lemme plug it back in

#

nothing

muted patio
#

Check monitor input?

tawny plover
#

monitor just says no signal

#

yes its on hdmi

muted patio
#

Crap

tawny plover
#

only 1 hdmi port

brittle tinsel
#

What amd processor could stream and play most games including AAA Like warzone, and preferably has the same chipset as the 5900x and beyond for upgradability

tawny plover
#

and i tried using my ps4

#

and it worked

muted patio
#

yea, so that's fine

#

Motherboard might be damaged

#

From the wrong power cable

#

It turns on but the part powering the CPu might be bad now

tawny plover
#

one sec i will make sure my psu thing is flipped all the way to one side

muted patio
#

If it's not displaying anything, that's not a good sign

tawny plover
#

it can get a little stuck sometimes

#

really weird

muted patio
#

if the fans are spinning things are getting power

tawny plover
#

is it fine if my cables are red and yellow and stuff?

muted patio
muted patio
tawny plover
#

ok

#

just making sure

muted patio
#

If still nothing, might have to return the motherboard

tawny plover
#

wait

muted patio
#

?

tawny plover
#

i was pushing really hard on power supply switch

#

and it clicked fully into position

muted patio
#

and

brittle tinsel
tawny plover
#

IT DISPLAYS ONTO MONITOR!!!

muted patio
muted patio
#

Ok, cn you return the PSU and get a new one then? XD

#

I don't like that switch

tawny plover
#

my thumb feels broken after that lol

#

put like a dent in it

muted patio
#

Yeah, might be a good idea to return that one

#

If the switch is that hard

tawny plover
#

it was the last one

#

on amazon

#

so theres no more i dont think

muted patio
#

OH

brittle tinsel
tawny plover
#

well i wont have to switch it off again hopefully

muted patio
muted patio
#

Does the same thing.

tawny plover
#

yes

#

it came switched off i think

#

so i guess i never fully got that thing over

muted patio
#

Well, the wrong power cable didn't help you eithe rlol

#

Now tidy it up and install Windows

tawny plover
#

ok

#

i need a dvd to install windows right?

muted patio
#

USB

#

USB stick

tawny plover
#

oh

muted patio
#

8 GB

#

For WIndows 10

tawny plover
#

i have a dvd with windows 7 on it, would that work

#

cant i upgrade once i get in?

muted patio
#

Probably?

#

i think that still works

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

IDK, give it a try lol

tawny plover
#

ok

#

well it plugs in

#

i have a dvd thing to usb

muted patio
#

That should work too

tawny plover
#

it says rebooot and select proper boot device

muted patio
#

Yeah

tawny plover
#

or insert boot media

#

in selected boot drive

muted patio
#

Gotta have the USB DVD plugged in

tawny plover
#

it is

muted patio
#

Oh

#

Might have to go into the BIOS Boot section and choose it manually

tawny plover
#

how do i do that

muted patio
#

Delete key while booting

tawny plover
#

do i unplug it?

#

then replug?

muted patio
#

reset switch?

#

On the case?

tawny plover
#

theres an r with a circle looking thing

#

is that it?

muted patio
#

might be

#

push it

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

Anyway

#

ON the BIOS main screen

#

At the bottom

tawny plover
#

fans stopped and started up

muted patio
#

There is usually a key you push like F8 to change the boot device

tawny plover
#

ok it said to press del or something else to get in

#

i pressed delete and im in

#

where to now

muted patio
#

Bottom of the screen, anything that says like F8 Boot menu?

#

Or F6 or something?

tawny plover
#

yes theres boot menu with f8

muted patio
#

Press F8

#

Choose the USB DVD drive

tawny plover
#

ok

#

i chose it

#

its rebooting now i think

#

ok now do i follow the windows things to install it?

#

has a bunch of questions

muted patio
#

Yep

#

Just go through the steps

tawny plover
#

ok

#

is my power supply fan susposed to ramp up and stuff?

#

its making noise

muted patio
#

yes, as it gets warm they can do that

#

Not supposed to make noise tho

#

Just whoosh

tawny plover
#

squels and stuff

muted patio
#

or whirrrrr

#

Squeals are bad

tawny plover
#

buzz too

muted patio
#

Return that power supply and get a new one

#

buzzing

#

buzzing?

tawny plover
#

i told you i bought the last one

muted patio
#

SHut it off

#

now

tawny plover
#

yes like a low buzz

#

ok

muted patio
#

not supposed to buss

#

buzz

#

Return it and get something else lol

#

What's the budget? I can help find you one on amazon

tawny plover
#

sounds like a phone vibrating

#

i think this power supply is fine though

#

seems to work ok

muted patio
#

Squealing fan. Buzzes. Not ok

tawny plover
#

oh

muted patio
#

Quiet PSU, regular fan noise, that's ok

#

Supposed to be quiet, not like a vibrating phone XD

tawny plover
#

i spent $35 on this power supply

#

so around that price

muted patio
#

Um

#

what gpu were you going to get?

tawny plover
#

3070 or maybe even 3060ti

muted patio
#

well

#

I can assure you

#

a $35 power supply won't power those

tawny plover
#

it was 400 watts

muted patio
#

Is it an Aresgame

tawny plover
#

no

#

evga

muted patio
#

yeah, you need 650W for 3060TI or 3070 lol

#

wait

#

EVGA

#

N1?

tawny plover
#

pc part picker said it would work

muted patio
#

W1?

#

No

tawny plover
#

n1

muted patio
#

NO

tawny plover
#

what

muted patio
#

Those blow up

#

get rid of it

tawny plover
#

reviews looked fine

muted patio
#

now

tawny plover
#

ok

#

i could spend $60 max on a power supply

muted patio
#

Read this list from actual testers

tawny plover
#

thats all i cna afford

muted patio
#

Check the bottom

#

Potentially dangerous

#

EVGA n1

tawny plover
#

they could be wrong though right?

muted patio
#

No

tawny plover
#

oh

muted patio
#

XD

tawny plover
#

lol i guess i agree with them it like broke my thumb

muted patio
#

For $60 I can find you something to power a 3070

tawny plover
#

ok

muted patio
#

Stand by

tawny plover
#

$65 is like very max i could afford

#

60 prefered though

muted patio
#

I gotcha

#

don't worry

tawny plover
#

ok

#

im not worried lol

desert gulch

#

Getting there

it was someone in the BUILDAPC discord

#

ok

muted patio
#

That's kinda disgusting TBH

celest horizon
#

I'm surprised aegis, qubex, windshields etc didn't jump down their throat for recommending that

tawny plover
#

yea then they kicked me after i was having trouble

muted patio
#

That's rude

#

Well

tawny plover
#

because they thought i was trolling

muted patio
#

got you up and running here

tawny plover
#

they didnt think i bought an n1

muted patio
#

So, just get that new PSU ASAP and carry on

tawny plover
#

thank you

muted patio
#

Welcome!

tawny plover
#

you guys are the best!

muted patio
#

That PSU will power a 3060TI or 3070 no problem

tawny plover
#

yay

#

this is a much much less toxic community than the buildapc discord

muted patio
#

They really kicked you because you said you got an N1 and they didn't believe you?

tawny plover
#

yup

muted patio
#

Wow

tawny plover
#

they thought i was trolling

muted patio
#

Glad I'm not in there

#

I wouldn't last long

tawny plover
#

im not either lol

muted patio
#

That's going to be tough

desert gulch
#

i used to be in the buildapc discord too

#

super toxic place

#

they banned me for posting a meme they deemed offensive

#

go to general or make a group dm or sumthin

primal fox
#

Ok, so now that my message was deleted... I’m looking for a $250 build - any help would be appreciated.

desert gulch
#

a 250 dollar build?

muted patio
#

I mean, that's barely enough for a CPU and motherboard

desert gulch
#

id look used

#

fb marketplace good place to start

#

craigslist

primal fox
#

Yes, obviously not new released stuff

little osprey
#

Ebay if you know how to

desert gulch
#

could prolly get a used optiplex and throw in a gpu later

#

optiplex 3090 would be my go to

primal fox
#

Ok

#

I will look into that

desert gulch
#

wait

#

not 3090

primal fox
#

Do they have usb 3.0 in those?

desert gulch
#

i dont remember which one

#

idk

#

id just look for a used optiplex

primal fox
#

Ok

#

I trying to get a system to be able to stream a webcam via slobs in my art studio - really nothing other than that.

#

Don’t want to spend a ton of money because I recently spent over $4k on one - lol

desert gulch
#

yeah id go for like a 100 dollar ish pc and then a 150 gpu

#

like a 1650 or sumthin

#

if you can find one near msrp

#

thats the challeneg

primal fox
#

For sure

desert gulch
#

used and new gpu market is hell right now

primal fox
#

That’s what I am seeing... I got in at the right time for the system I have

desert gulch
#

yup

primal fox
#

Am I allowed to post link here to possible purchases via FB marketplace to get your opinions?

muted patio
#

Of courase

desert gulch
#

yea

primal fox
desert gulch
#

id offer like 250

#

id say 250 is fair

jagged ember
#

that's usd right

desert gulch
#

ye

jagged ember
#

250 feels right yeah

#

300 is a little high for what it has

primal fox
#

Yes, used... I offered $250

jagged ember
#

120gb ssd and 500gb hdd tho lol

desert gulch
#

so pog

jagged ember
#

like 50 years ago

#

i'd probably upgrade the storage

#

If i bought this, i mean

desert gulch
#

yeah

primal fox
#

For sure... I legit don’t need much though.

tawdry breach
#

Hi can someone help me im struggling with something text me in private if you can

desert gulch
#

put it here if you can

#

since most ppl wont accept dms

#

since dms cant rly be moderated well

tawdry breach
#

Is this a good motherboard?

earnest olive
#

rule 12

#

but no

#

no reason to pay that much for b450 when b550 exists

desert gulch
#

nope

#

b550 better

#

i agree with sips

earnest olive
#

b450 only worth buying now if it's $50 and you're on a ridiculously tight budget

jagged ember
#

same price basically but better features

desert gulch
#

yup

#

and better upgrade path

jagged ember
#

that too

earnest olive
#

like if your build budget is above $400 just go b550

desert gulch
#

id assume their budget is over 400

earnest olive
#

you can get b550 boards for like $80

desert gulch
#

since b450 tomahawk isnt the cheapest b450 out there

austere vale
#

I was happy with my b550m at the end of the day. Went for that one for the upgrade path in the end.

#

Msi mag mortar wifi

earnest olive
#

I had the b450 tomahawk max

#

upgraded to b550 aorus elite

#

$25 well spent

austere vale
#

Just a bit of peace of mind really. Only went with a 3700x this time around but look forward to going to 5000 series down the track when I can get one much cheaper.

earnest olive
#

for $25 I got much better audio, much more rgb support, better vrms, pcie gen 4, better looking board, don't have to use msi software

austere vale
#

Yeah can't say I use the msi software.

#

Played around for like 5 mins using dragon centre to try rgb schemes but ended up leaving it on rainbow and uninstalled that bloat.

earnest olive
#

I bought the msi board before I knew anything about pcs

#

what finally triggered me to switch was

#

I was studying next to my pc, had my rgb set to white

#

suddenly it started flashing colors and was distracting

desert gulch
#

oof

earnest olive
#

turns out dragon center tried to self update and strangled itself in the process

desert gulch
#

lmao

austere vale
#

Lol

earnest olive
#

and messed itself up so hard that it couldn't be uninstalled by normal means

#

I had to nuke it

#

then I was like

#

man I don't wanna deal with this again

#

goodbye msi

desert gulch
#

asus is best mobo company pog?

earnest olive
#

yuck

#

ask @little osprey how he feels about asus mobo

desert gulch
#

lol

austere vale
#

I mean I don't mind the msi bios at least

desert gulch
#

i love the value of their tuf series

austere vale
#

But idgaf about the desktop software

earnest olive
#

I don't understand asus fanboys

#

they make some good products

desert gulch
#

yeah im no fanboy

#

altho i love my tuf x570

earnest olive
#

but they've also made enough glaring mistakes that they shouldn't automatically be trusted

desert gulch
#

vrm temps i love

#

happy i didnt get a msi x570

#

cause high vrm temps on that

austere vale
#

I haven't had a desktop in over 13 years until a couple weeks ago I have no allegiances.

desert gulch
#

if running hot cpu

earnest olive
#

they made the worst 5700xts that were thermal throttling at stock because they just copy/pasted their cooler design from their nvidia cards

#

and blamed it on amd

desert gulch
little osprey
desert gulch
#

the tuf 5700xt was one of the worst

little osprey
#

Who summoned me

desert gulch
#

near as bad as reference

earnest olive
#

also I'll never forgive them for selling me a laptop with 16gb single channel ram before I knew anything about computers

austere vale
#

Asus.. a sus

earnest olive
#

the laptop came with 2 ram slots

#

and they put 1x16

little osprey
#

Til never rma an asus board

#

Or download armoury crate

desert gulch
earnest olive
#

for years I thought the gtx 1050 was just that bad

#

dropping to 20 fps in league

little osprey
#

Watch the board come back destroyed cuz of fedex lul

desert gulch
#

lol

#

it was the ram?

earnest olive
#

I climbed to the top 0.1% while getting frame drops to 20 fps

#

lmao

desert gulch
#

lol

little osprey
#

Lma

#

Lmao

earnest olive
#

yeah I changed it to 2x8 and now it never drops below 120 fps

desert gulch
#

single channel pog

little osprey
#

3070 league is op

#

Miss fortune kek

desert gulch
#

yeah with drops on lol is bad

#

lol is mega easy to run

austere vale
#

3070 master race

earnest olive
#

I game on my 3070 now

little osprey
earnest olive
#

my 3070 loses less hashrate than my 3080 while gaming

#

not sure why

little osprey
#

Basically just have evga make it

#

Heard their rma is somewhat good kek

#

But dont believe it tbh

earnest olive
#

I get 135 mh/s if I run games on my 3070 and 115 mh/s if I run games on my 3080

little osprey
#

Im happy the ceo office responded

earnest olive
#

while both of them are mining

little osprey
#

And they said board repair was going to be clear

#

Its in cali tonight

#

Coming thursday

#

M.2 slot plz be fixed

#

First world problems

earnest olive
#

the gtx 1050 is still hanging on admirably

little osprey
#

Not gen4 speeds

#

Lol

earnest olive
#

runs genshin at 60 fps but getting bottlenecked by the i7-7700hq

#

occasionally drops to 30-40 but that's cpu's fault

austere vale
#

I am super impressed with my 3070. Love how it can hammer POS like cyberpunk but then other games that don't need anywhere near that power blitzes on ultra

earnest olive
#

i7-7700hq is so bad

little osprey
#

Tbh dont know why msi is super hated

#

3070 gaming x trio good

earnest olive
#

it was lagging while I was trying to graph a cone for homework

little osprey
#

Besides software

#

Like every gpu ever

earnest olive
#

100% cpu usage with 1 chrome tab open

#

and 96C on all cores

austere vale
#

I've been very happy with my msi b550m. The desktop software is bloat but the hardware has been great so far.

little osprey
#

I can have 500 open

earnest olive
#

with external cooling

little osprey
#

And 1 oofs it

earnest olive
#

and fresh thermal paste

little osprey
#

Bruh

#

Tbh im happy i bought lpx

earnest olive
#

I was benching it for hwbot and I put an ice pack on the keyboard

little osprey
#

I can put aio

earnest olive
#

had to wipe off condensation after every bench

little osprey
#

And oc” to 3733 cl18

austere vale
#

What are your thoughts on gigabyte gpus

earnest olive
#

people hate msi for a lot of reasons

little osprey
#

Literally fire

#

With no thermal pads in vision lol

earnest olive
#

msi can't make software worth a damn

little osprey
earnest olive
#

their gpu MSRPs are way higher than anyone else's

#

like... the 3070 suprim msrp is what $900? $1000? lol

little osprey
#

Got my msi trio for 646 cause sales tax is awful

#

10.25

#

Fml

austere vale
#

My 3070 gaming oc is a gigabyte. Thermals have been pretty solid so far

earnest olive
#

they also openly and continuously threaten and blackmail reviewers

#

even after getting exposed for it

little osprey
#

Ez

#

Ibm>all gpu makers

earnest olive
#

so yeah unethical company too

jagged ember
#

damn

little osprey
#

Just make ibm make pcs again

jagged ember
#

shouldn't have bought MSI

little osprey
#

Lol

earnest olive
#

like most companies are unethical in some way

little osprey
#

Im just happy i got a card tbh

earnest olive
#

but msi is so proud of it

little osprey
earnest olive
#

they are so open about being unethical

little osprey
#

core temp is fine

#

Asus is unethical in rma lol

#

but vram temp is horrible on gigapoop

#

Like every maker ever

austere vale
earnest olive
#

remember when msi got caught using a subsidiary to scalp their own cards on ebay

little osprey
#

We cant choose brands

jagged ember
#

lol yeah

#

i remember that

desert gulch
#

You have to pay for MSI Premium to make them ethical to you lmao

little osprey
#

Unless we have stock lil

#

imagine not having a card thats only restocked twice ever and goes for 2.2k on ebay

#

Lol

desert gulch
#

Imagine if that had that

little osprey
#

I would care more if we could choose models

little osprey
#

Just blackmail them back

#

Kek

little osprey
#

Blackmail war

Just happy i got a card lol

Love how everyone needs a 3070/80 for their grandma

Dude it doesn’t boot

It show that thing

Look closer. It says "bad BIOS checksum, starting BIOS recovery"

wispy plinth

Yes

I did everything

Still no

It doesn’t even open bios

I think it’s pretty much dead

Make sure keyboard is working

wispy plinth

Yes it is

potent portal

You can try to clear the CMOS but I doubt it would help

wispy plinth

I think the bios is corrupted

potent portal

Your manual says "hold delete to access BIOS", that't what you did?>

Ok 1 min I will give it a try

hi falcie :))

Hey lili

wispy plinth

Still no😩

Then yep it's dead, RIP

hollow grail
#

lol rippe

wispy plinth
#

Can I fix it in a repair shop

hollow grail
#

probs not

potent portal
#

Not it it doesn't go to BIOS

hollow grail
#

unless they reflash the bios

#

using programmer

wispy plinth
#

Ok

hollow grail
#

but the chances of a repair shop doing that is like nothing

potent portal
#

ASUS won't touch it probably since it's very out of warranty

hollow grail
#

asus does not care yea

wispy plinth
#

I think they should replace the bios chip

#

No

hollow grail
#

easier said than done lul

wispy plinth
#

I tryout all buttons

hollow grail
#

ill save some time

#

none of them will do anything lol

potent portal
wispy plinth
#

😩

potent portal
#

Straight from the manual

wispy plinth
#

Ok 1 min I’ll try it

#

No

potent portal
#

It's worth a try but not likely since that only clears the settings data and doesn't reset the flash chip

wispy plinth
#

Actually I am 14

#

My dad will not let me open my PC

hollow grail

well rip pc then

im getitng those already

hollow grail

for networking

haughty void
#

i was discussing with another discord about it

hollow grail
#

no realtek trash

haughty void

we were talking about SFP+

hollow grail

hell yea

haughty void

since regular switches are crazy priced

for 10gbit ethernet

and somneone suggested a microtik r9outer

switch i meanm

this was suggested

yes

that is v good

now i just gotta find the network cards

Is Higher GHZ better for cpu right?????

Oh yea, that doesn't have an aio yet, but just 50$ for an aio on top

Well, it's not an absolute "no, you can't buy it", but be very cautious, and double check all the other options you may have
