aRGB cables for different boards

rancid lodge
#

I know the thumb screw fell into the GPU after the VGA issue started so uh

#

@muted patio do you think that could’ve killed it

quasi hemlock
#

@muted patio Do they go into here?

rancid lodge
#

But the issue was present before that happened so

muted patio
quasi hemlock
#

Both?

muted patio
quasi hemlock
#

@muted patio I see, the other is for different boards, reading is helpful

muted patio
#

Yes, use the one for your board

rancid lodge
#

@muted patio I have a older 1050

#

Should I try that?

quasi hemlock
#

I don’t understand where these go either

image0.jpg
#

I know that they are front panel connectors I just can’t find where they go

viral ore
#

motherboard manual

#

read

rancid lodge
#

I doubt I can survive off of a 1050 though so I’d hope I wouldn’t need to use it

#

@muted patio if it could be the boot device what should I look at to fix that

muted patio
#

Get video output first

rancid lodge
#

Yeah I can’t

#

Not sure what I can do to troubleshoot the card

muted patio
rancid lodge
#

Kinda a last resort, any other ways to troubleshoot it?

muted patio
#

WDYM last resort.

rancid lodge
#

Could it actually be my CPU, since I remounted it, and that’s what resolved the DRAM light and has now started this issue

#

I just don’t want to have to pull out the 1050 out of the PC it’s in

warm swift
viscid flume
#

neither

#

980 pro 2tb ehm

sharp tundra
#

Shush

muted patio
#

LMAO

sharp tundra
#

You samsung haters

muted patio
#

Just wasting money

stoic island
#

I'm a PCIe 4.0 hater

#

Not just Samsung

#

:p

sharp tundra
#

Just because gen.4 doesn't have any benefits now, doesn't mean it won't in the future

wanton cliff
#

That’s not quite how this works

#

Later Gen 4 drives will be better

#

PCIe 4.0 itself doesn’t change

#

Right now, Gen 4 drives aren’t quite there

muted patio
#

The issue is, you won't see any speed benefits from Gen 4 speeds. Not in loading times or anything else unless you're doing large file transfers drive to drive. Every day use is absolutely pointless

wanton cliff
#

I could see a reason for getting one if you did hours and hours of 4K video editing

#

But absolutely no other reason right now

stoic island
#

Anyways, it's just, you're paying an early adopter fee

#

For example, look at the old Phison E16 based pcie 4.0 drives, msrp is the same with the current Phison E18 based pcie 4.0 drives, except the E18 based drives are much faster in terms of seq, at the same msrp

sharp tundra
#

Anyways

#

That's a cool build innit? I wanna see someone actually put that together, someone that isn't linus

wanton cliff
#

TFW 13 hours of Elite:Dangerous

sharp tundra
#

Thought you were a NMS person

wanton cliff
#

Look at your profile

sharp tundra
#

Oh, you mean me

#

I left it on last night

wanton cliff
#

Nah I’ve been playing Stellaris lately

#

Almost defeated one of the Fallen factions already and it’s my first game

#

Had to pause and go somewhere and do something but it’s going pretty good right now

#

About ~3 or 4 centuries in iirc and already got several megastructures and fleets over 100k power

sharp tundra
#

I don't know much about that game

#

But imma bout to try out Satisfactory

eager chasm
#

?

wanton cliff
#

Actually lemme check the year real quick

#

Scroll up

#

2443

#

I’ve got 2 mega shipyards, a Dyson Sphere, and the thing that mines out a black hole

#

As well as 2 fleets over 100k

#

I am also somehow winning against the weaker of the fallen empires in a war

stoic island
#

Oh war in heaven?

#

Mining out black hole is prob the matter extractor or whatever, gives minerals

wanton cliff
#

Stellaris

stoic island
#

Yes

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

War in heaven is the mid game crisis where two fallen become awaken and go to war with each other, every nation has to choose a side

wanton cliff
#

this is what map looks like

#

im UNE

#

earth govt

#

bottom left

wanton cliff
#

this is my first game

stoic island
#

Fair

#

Isn't NEX the driven exterminators or whatever they're called

wanton cliff
#

something like that

#

robot uprising

stoic island
#

Yea

potent portal
#

I play stellaris too sometimes, have you seen the invincibility and infinite fleet glitch?

wanton cliff
#

No and I don’t want to glitch it out

sharp tundra
#

Glitching is fun

wanton cliff
#

I want to have fun, not dominate the entire game

sharp tundra
#

But only if you've already beat a game

#

Or if it's D2

stoic island
#

Never seen the glitch

potent portal
#

Stellaris is like civ, it's different every game

sharp tundra
#

I wish there was ways to glitch elite

#

But there's just exploits

wanton cliff
#

Gonna make a hivemind infection type thing next game I play

sharp tundra
#

Lol

wanton cliff
#

Like the Flood in Halo

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff devouring swarm

#

It's fun

potent portal
stoic island
#

Oh spiff

potent portal
#

Of course spiff

stoic island
#

That's an old one

sharp tundra
#

Is ThAt SwAgGeRsOuLs?

stoic island
#

I think they fixed the federation free ships

potent portal
#

They couldn't fix the "printing money" one without totally breaking the economy though, I accidentally did that one my first play through

stoic island
#

Hm? The economy one? I tested it a while ago, didn't work, price scales with amount bought and sold now

potent portal
#

Then how did I end up with every resource at its cap, including energy, before the end of mid game (200 years)

stoic island
#

Uh, playing the game normally? Default cap is like 10k

#

200 years is a long time

wanton cliff
#

Big words

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

Uh, I mean, lemme pull up a game

potent portal
#

It can take 2 years just to fly a fleet through 4 systems

stoic island
#

Actually

sharp tundra
#

Takes 2 minutes in Elite Dangerous

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

I have a save file at exactly year 2400

stoic island
wanton cliff
#

Crazy to think that most of the endgame space battles take weeks or months to do

wanton cliff
stoic island
#

E

wanton cliff
#

Just...

#

E

#

Why

rotund sleet
#

Anyone here know where I can get a good gpu under 280?

wanton cliff
rotund sleet
#

Lol

wanton cliff
#

I’m not joking

rotund sleet
#

Ik

stoic island
#

and I have 2 vassals, along with like 400k worth of fleets sieging down fallen worlds

unknown.png
wanton cliff
#

I’m just trying to either subjugate or eradicate everything I can

#

Make a colony there

rotund sleet
#

@wanton cliff I asked cuz I rn have a ryzen 3600 and a 560ti

wanton cliff
#

Boom, hello world

rotund sleet
#

Need a gpu ASAP

stoic island
#

I went for synthetic evolution myself

#

that was fun

wanton cliff
#

$280, even normally, isn’t that great a price for a GPU to be sold

stoic island
#

btw @eager chasm you were right about bio reactors being inefficient... I thought they were better than that

unknown.png
wanton cliff
#

I have a lot of farms

#

Maybe I should make some of those

#

Do any of y’all go through the trouble of naming your planets?

stoic island
#

nah

wanton cliff
#

Or colonies at least

stoic island
#

bio reactors are not efficient

#

also I think bio reactors need their own technology or something

#

don't think it's available at the start

wanton cliff
#

I’ll just stick with my Dyson spheres and ring worlds for now

#

This game also needs Von Neuman probes

brittle tinsel
#

Since I’m already waiting on gpu stock, if I manage to snag one should I continue to wait for 5900x stock or just get a 3900x?

wanton cliff
#

5900x going to be in regular stock soon, if current trends in the market keep

little osprey
#

amd drop next thursday

wanton cliff
#

You could also get a 5800x if you’ve got good cooling

brittle tinsel
#

Arctic liquid freezer 360mm

wanton cliff
#

Yeah you’d be fine

#

100%

brittle tinsel
#

Honest I would prefer the 5900x but as soon as I get pinged that someone has stock it’s gone before the link can load. I need the 5900x for work

#

and school really

little osprey
#

camp at amd website at thursday 9-11 pst

brittle tinsel
#

This coming Thursday?

little osprey
#

yep

brittle tinsel
#

So like 2-4est right or am I off a bit?

little osprey
#

people saying amd gonna drop next thursday

brittle tinsel
#

Wait no 12 -2?

wanton cliff
#

And what school needs a 5900x

little osprey
rotund sleet
brittle tinsel
little osprey
#

maybe gpus idk exactly

#

just people were talking about that drop

brittle tinsel
wanton cliff
rotund sleet
#

Hopefully gpu

wanton cliff
little osprey
#

and bb drop at 18th

brittle tinsel
little osprey
#

that's what people talking about

#

damn I correcting autocorrect more than it correcting me 😂

potent portal
#

I just turn off the stupid autocorrect

brittle tinsel
#

the work also varies, I started working for a fivem server scripting, worked for them a year but didn’t pay well at all, then I started working scripting dayz, wasn’t too bad but wasn’t great, then I worked for another guy, payed me every 2 weeks then my pc fried so I’m trying to get a pc built so I can continue

#

Thankfully he understands and is very patient with me rn

little osprey
little osprey
brittle tinsel
#

The prebuit I had is what burned up, the psu just completely gave up and took everything with it, although the psu wasn’t even 80+ cert

#

So I gave up on prebuilt

little osprey
#

yeah that's true xd

#

once my psu fried my 2 hdd but thankfully nothing else

#

only problem is gpu right now if you can grab one you'll be fine

brittle tinsel
#

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test my drives but it did take my mobo and ram

#

I hope the drives still work or atleast I can swap the controller so I can get my data back

little osprey
#

oh

wanton cliff
brittle tinsel
#

I had a 6month unity project from class

#

And may have lost it

little osprey
#

i hope you can save it

#

i know how bad is loosing data xd

#

that's why I having 2 copy of everything rn lol

potent portal
#

Only 2?

brittle tinsel
#

Where do y’all back things up to?

#

Obv not another drive in the system

little osprey
#

hdd

#

external

potent portal
#

I have 3 backups, one permanently attached internal, one external, and one cloud backup with backblaze, on top of the original copies

brittle tinsel
#

External may be a bit better for backup Since it’s not directly plugged into power

little osprey
#

yeah just rarely plugging it in and copying data in it thats it

#

and keeping it safe lol

#

it saved my data few times

restive lynx
wanton cliff
#

We know

restive lynx
#

I don't really want to spend more than 200 for this rebuild

brittle tinsel
#

Should I test the drive before replacing the controller or just send it?

little osprey
#

is it hdd or ssd

brittle tinsel
#

1 of each

wanton cliff
#

Why tf do you need a 750w power supply for a Intel 4th Gen system

little osprey
#

rip

restive lynx
#

its for what we will be building it into later

potent portal
restive lynx
#

most of those parts are just old parts we are putting together

#

but some of them will be useful for upgrading

brittle tinsel
# potent portal Test it

The hdd has windows on it so should I install windows on the boot drive of my new rig before testing or plug it in by itself and test?

potent portal
brittle tinsel
#

Ah

#

I still can’t do that until I have the new rig lolz

brittle tinsel
little osprey
#

nope

#

drive would be detected by bios

#

and you can select drive which is you wanna boot first

brittle tinsel
#

Guess I’m in for a fun time, let the record show I’m probably gonna break something, I’m first time builder and never touched the inside of my prebuilt except to install the ssd

little osprey
#

lol don't worry it will be good 😂

#

if you get confused just ask here people gonna help xd

brittle tinsel
#

Well like my main concern is static I don’t have a place without Carpet

little osprey
#

its not that important thing lol just touch some big metal also helps

wanton cliff
#

Green names 02puke

brittle tinsel
#

I’m not sure if my case has any metal

little osprey
#

pink uh

potent portal
#

Just touch unpainted metal on the case while it's plugged in and you'll discharge static safely
Lacking metal, touch a screw on the PCI ports

brittle tinsel
#

Ahnok

#

Ah ok damn phone

little osprey
#

lol

wanton cliff
#

What PC cases don’t have any metal?

little osprey
#

unpainted

wanton cliff
#

All the ones I’ve seen have been made of aluminum or some similar light material

brittle tinsel
#

The case I’m getting fractal define 7 light atx

#

Mid tower

#

I think it’s metal but I don’t know about unpainted

potent portal
#

Just touch one of the PCI screws after you take the side panel off, same effect

brittle tinsel
#

Ok

#

What’s all this about a bios chip that needs programmed before swapping the drive pcb

potent portal
#

Identical drives shouldn't have to worry about that

brittle tinsel
#

This vid says if their identical you still need to or it will show up blank

#

And he’s got Sauter tools and stuff that I don’t really want to use for first time pcb replacement

potent portal
#

Depends on the drive I'd guess

#

And we still don't know if it even needs to be swapped

brittle tinsel
#

I took the drive out, I’ve never heard of this drive before

image0.jpg
wanton cliff
#

Never heard of the drive or the brand?

#

Cause Hitachi is a known company

brittle tinsel
#

The brand

#

This is the only thing in the system that the part is in English though so it can’t be that bad

potent portal
#

Hitachi is extremely common in prebuilt, almost as cheap as Seagarbage

wanton cliff
#

Hitachi is decades older than you or me so 02shrug

foggy briar
#

How did they fit 6 fans and a radiator at the top ?? I swear u cant

brittle tinsel
#

Well on the plus the pcb doesn’t smell burnt

cursive wharf
#

Hitatchi be quite nice sometimes

wanton cliff
#

Mhmm

#

Their laptop disks a few years ago were nice

potent portal
wanton cliff
#

There’s a point where it hurts

cursive wharf
#

push/pull is never too much tho for rads

wanton cliff
#

Too much air moving everywhere and nothing goes in or out and it’s all confused

brittle tinsel
#

Would PCBs even get the burnt electronic smell?

cursive wharf
#

tho, filling every fan placement on a case can cause unwanted turbulence

#

thus more noise

#

or worse thermals

potent portal
#

3 side fans, 3 bottom fans, 6 top fans, and a back fan... seems overkill

cursive wharf
foggy briar
foggy briar
brittle tinsel
wanton cliff
#

That seems like a lot of fans considering the amount of liquid in there

brittle tinsel
#

Im talking about the pcb on the gpu and drive

potent portal
brittle tinsel
#

They don’t smell burnt

cursive wharf
potent portal
#

I still think the drive is ok, they have protections of their own

foggy briar
cursive wharf
brittle tinsel
#

Damn it the ssd smells burnt to a crisp

#

Not good I’m guessing

cursive wharf
#

Still might be possible for a data recovery company to get stuff off it

#

depends if NAND left this world or not

brittle tinsel
#

Well the ssd outside of being expensive only had games, I kept my important files on my hdd

#

Maybe the ssd had a few other things I’m not worried about but mostly just games, modern warfare, warzone and tarkov was all

potent portal
#

M.2 SSD? Directly attaching to MB is more likely to die in surge

brittle tinsel
#

No sata 6gb wd blue 500gb

#

Does gpus have any built in protection?

muted patio
#

Diodes. That's about it

brittle tinsel
#

When a part dies will it smell like burnt electronics? Because the mobo psu and ssd have that smell the gpu and hdd don’t

muted patio
#

Not necessarily

brittle tinsel
#

I mean realistically here the only part I’m worried about is the hard drive because of the data I’m not too worried about the GPU I had planned on using that as a dedicated encoder but if it’s dead it’s not a big deal

hollow grail
#

cause they mostly made non consumer trash drives

potent portal
#

Deskstar consumer grade drives are meh, but their server drives are some good stuff

hollow grail
#

kek git.rip got nuked

#

lmfao it got nuked nuked

potent portal
hollow grail
potent portal
#

Well RIP git.rip

hollow grail
#

they actually got orbital striked

sharp tundra
#

Rip lililabs

#

Jk

hollow grail
#

a group i was in got raided by feds actually

#

am in*

sharp tundra
#

O.o

hollow grail
#

yea we had blueleaks

#

feds were like

#

uh can u not

#

and we were like ok :))

potent portal
#

Well at least they asked nicely! (I'm assuming they didn't though)

hollow grail
#

they showed up with guns :))))

potent portal
#

Fun stuff

hollow grail
#

yeah baby bean

sharp tundra
#

Noice

hollow grail
#

speedrunning getting onto every watchlist before i die

sharp tundra
#

Did you know

hollow grail
#

i never touched the data cause i could tell that it wouldnt really be looked upon kindly

#

so

potent portal
#

Bold of you to assume they don't already have all of us techies on lists

sharp tundra
#

That every ex military veteran is put on a watch list

hollow grail
#

yeah

cursive wharf
#

I identify as fake techie so they dont watch me

potent portal
hollow grail
#

my fbi agent must be so bored

sharp tundra
#

Well, it's not that

#

But it is

hollow grail
#

hi fbi agent ❤️

#

all my dedicated servers are now running samsung ssds

#

and wd hdd

potent portal
#

I like to troll my agent and make him watch 24 hour rick roll videos and leave my phone at home

sharp tundra
#

Its mainly because they can use those skills and knowledge and intelligence agai st the US gov

hollow grail
#

yeah once you get a high enough level of clearance the gov starts keeping an eye on you

potent portal
#

I only gave one example, there's many reasons of course like you say

#

Every enlistee gets "Secret" level clearance just to go to basic training

#

"Top Secret" is actually really common

sharp tundra
#

I'm not...

hollow grail
#

they super speedie

potent portal
#

Those are both steps above "Classified"

sharp tundra
#

Cause I didn't get a free trial

hollow grail
#

sucks!

#

buy it for free trial

sharp tundra
#

Clerk: "Would you like to try a free sample?"
Me: "Ah, no thank you I don't have any money."

potent portal
#

Then there's me, using my mom's costco membership to get free food and pretending I'll be buying something

autumn wolf
#

free food is free food

sharp tundra
#

I love costco

hollow grail
#

costco is pog

sharp tundra
#

Until they tell me I can't shop there because I'm not a member

hollow grail
#

honestly membership isnt the worst

#

pays for itself if you shop a decent amount

sharp tundra
#

Its like $90 a year isn't it?

#

Or more?

potent portal
#

I'd shop there if I had any space in my tiny apartment for the big box stuff

sharp tundra
#

I hate apartment life

#

Never going back

#

Well I probably couldn't if I tried anyways

#

Cause I think I have an eviction notice for o e I don't even live in anymore

potent portal
#

Not much choice since most landlords require you to make 3x the rent per month, meaning I'd need to make at least 5k a month just to rent a house

#

I make like half that lol

sharp tundra
#

I make $3000 a month, but I also have no bills, lol

#

Well except insurance, but thats only $100/month

hollow grail
sharp tundra
hollow grail
#

u can finally host the mc server of your dreams

#

or whatever

sharp tundra
#

I already pay for a realms that I never use

potent portal
#

All I need is a static IP for a MC server, I've got everything else I'd need

rich helm
#

Costco is good

cursive wharf
rich helm
#

Costco barely makes a profit on the items they sell

hollow grail
hollow grail
potent portal
#

Through a VPN with static IP of course lili

hollow grail
potent portal
#

But I already paid for the year in advance for my VPN 😂

sharp tundra
#

If you find a way to run a private destiny 2 server, then I will get one

hollow grail
#

iirc thats proprietary so glhf

sharp tundra
#

Exactly my point

hollow grail
#

u get added cool points

sharp tundra
#

I might do Arma in the future

#

Then maybe I'll hit you up

hollow grail
potent portal
#

vyprvpn
Fast enough for me, servers everywhere I could want one, no logs

#

$60 a year or something

sharp tundra
#

I almost just cut my finger from sticking it I the gpu fan😶

little osprey
sharp tundra
#

So we never discussed how much a Costco membership is

#

The real mvp here

potent portal
#

$60 a year without a discount code for Costco

sharp tundra
#

Not bad

potent portal
#

Easily save more than $5 a month just shopping there once a month

sharp tundra
#

Well the closest one to me is 1 hour

potent portal
#

So another $10 for gas, might not be worth it, but you can get cheap gas there too

sharp tundra
#

MAybe not

little osprey
#

or just ask to borrow someone's carsd

#

we use my grandpa's costco card

hollow grail
#

i dont like the full name requirement for registration

potent portal
#

Easy to put fake name/email

#

Then all they have is your billing info, which can be a prepaid visa

hollow grail
#

yea

#

they seem solid

#

i wonder if theyre faking locations

#

since theyre so cheap

potent portal
#

When I connect to other countries my IP reads as that country, the LA server reads as LA

hollow grail
#

a lot of vpn server providers are like

#

australia location!

#

(actual server in singapore)

potent portal
#

They also optionally use "chameleon" protocol to better get around vpn locks on netflix etc

hollow grail
#

i saw that

#

it looks interesting

potent portal
#

Worked when I tried it for youtube

hollow grail
#

looks like they used to keep logs

#

but they stopped

#

and got audited

potent portal
#

Yeah they went no logs a little over a year ago

hollow grail
#

looks like they own their hardware too

#

so theyre colocating in a bunch of datacenters worldwide

#

fun

#

hehe called it

#

they fake location

potent portal
#

🤷‍♂️ Works for me at least for what I use it for

#

And they offer static/dedicated IP with upper level membership

hollow grail
#

yea its not bad

#

just interesting how so many ppl are doing it

#

i mean its cheaper

#

but its also super bad to do

#

i think a good middle ground is offering a distinction between the two

#

like if i wanted to

#

i could get some ip addresses from my amsterdam location

#

and announce them in my like

#

LA datacenter

#

and all the ip finders would say that the IP is in amsterdam

#

network stuff is wacky

little osprey
#

🤔

#

me trying to understand something lol 🤔

potent portal
#

I don't really need a physical server as long as they're not tracking my activity and I can get around region locks etc

hollow grail
little osprey
#

lol

hallow grove
#

I currently have a ryzen 5 1400 and a radeon rx 580.
My mobo is an Asus Prime a320m-k but i have to get a new motherboard- does anyone have a recommendation what I should get that doesnt absolutely break the bank?

gleaming quartz
hollow grail
little osprey
#

I hate clodflare protection uh

hollow grail
#

price wise it makes sense

hollow grail
little osprey
#

waiting on site or complate captcha uh

hollow grail
#

kek

#

At VyprVPN we have over 70 server locations worldwide… As a practice we do not have physical servers in restrictive countries. Instead, we use virtual servers to keep the encryption gateway out of the hands of dangerous regimes, yet still offer access to an in-country IP address

#

i found out why they own all their own HW

potent portal
hollow grail
#

probs run it out of one datacenter

#

and just announce different locations

hallow grove
hollow grail
#

yeah someone confirmed with their support that 100% of locations are virtual

hallow grove
#

To re-buy the primea320m-k its only like 70$ so i was thinking of just rebuying that but i didnt know if theres a better option here

cursive wharf
little osprey
#

I working for companies outside of US and that cloudflare bothering me everytime when I want go to their website lol

cursive wharf
#

anything else is a downgrade basically because $150 isnt enough for an upgrade

potent portal
hollow grail
little osprey
#

yep

hallow grove
#

Yea. Im pretty sure mobo is busted because my pc wont post and ive tested everything else

#

@potent portal

hollow grail
#

i mean u could always get a vps with a flawless IP address and self host a vpn off of that

potent portal
hollow grail
#

get around CF filters

#

idk too many people that have that kind of IP tho

#

i know i dont

potent portal
hollow grail
#

other option is to ask for company vpn

potent portal
little osprey
#

idk why it even exist lol

#

i mean like whats wrong if someone going to website from another country

hallow grove
#

Thank you

hollow grail
#

skids trying to ddos

hollow grail
#

my ip range isnt the cleanest

little osprey
#

oh its another question lol whats ddoc 🤔

#

lol

hollow grail
#

youll get a dedicated ip but it'll definitely be recognized as a datacenter ip

hollow grail
little osprey
#

hmm

#

Yup

Yeah it's basically rendering everything twice every frame

Eh, if you can get FE3060Ti then 1k budget isnt bad

cursive wharf
#

also, lighting with shadows - each light renders the game once

potent portal
#

True but keeping it simple, that's why VR requirements are so high

10 non baked lights with shadows means 10 extra renders

only msrp card

deft walrus
#

peeeaaaccceee

sharp tundra
#

It's what we refer to as the card made by Nvidia themselves

#

Since Nvidia Founded the card

#

It's easier than saying Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB Founders Edition

#

Lol

deft walrus
#

i understand i get you i was just saying those are like a diamond in the rough right now

#

all GCs apparently

cursive wharf
sharp tundra
#

Look at bestbuy on Tuesdays and Thursdays

#

Online store

sharp tundra
# cursive wharf only msrp card

Eh, well technically there are different manufacturers of the 30series cards, so MSRP is dependant on which company released it

potent portal
#

Nvidia manufactures all of the cores though

sharp tundra
#

But the cards themselves are very different

#

Let's say the die was $200 flat for that model of card, the other manufacturers would charge for that $200, but the die isn't the only thing that makes up a GPU, so then you have to add the price of all the other stuff that's on the card

potent portal
#

Right, Nvidia makes the cores and the AIB partners make the rest of the PCB

sharp tundra
#

Yes, so technically they are the manufacturers of THEIR card

#

It's like Apple using Samsung in their devices, an IPhone may be $1200 but a samsung with the same parts may only be $1000

#

You outsource the work of the die to Nvidia so you can buy the dies and put them in your cards, that's basically how it works

#

Every other card isn't really a spin off of the FE cards, the FE card is just what was made first because they had the dies first

deft walrus
#

die is third party?

@deft walrus It'll be a worse time

I need RGB support, Icue software recognizes the Asus MOBO RGB but I'm not sure if it can interface with it. Icue doesn't recognize the lian li strip but AURA software does.

Any way I can just centralize everything onto one or the other?

rancid lodge
#

alr I might try using that instead lol, maybe it'll identify my back fan too

#

my RGB hub from the AIO works with the AIO fans and case fans

#

but only has 6 ports

#

so I took the RGB hub from the case fans and attached it to the seventh fan (the back one)

#

won't light up and isn't being detected

cursive wharf
#

openrgb kinda meh

stoic island
#

dats why I say maybe

cursive wharf
#

most of the time it can only do static colors without effects

rancid lodge
#

Yeah only the AIO is listed there anyways

#

oh well, might as well just use both lol

#

at least everything is being detected, besides that stupid back fan

#

Anyone have any idea as to why my back fan won't even run the RGB though? it's separate from the other fans on a different hub but it's hooked into sata power and has a USB connection

#

also does anyone know what hue bridge is cause the aura software says I can hook up other devices with it?

potent portal
#

OpenRGB is good if you have a bunch of different things you want to control from one place, it even reads my mouse

rancid lodge
#

nvm hue bridge is this wireless thing I think

#

yeah

#

Mmm if only these fans would just work with the aura sync

#

idc about the AIO pump too much

#

it's always one thing or the other, icue only doesn't recognize the RGB strip on the case so I guess I'll use it

So who can tell me what is an average or top speed data transfer rate from drive to drive. Any model or brand within last 5 years.

#

And would that be related to overall performance at all?

rancid lodge
#

For corsair's Icue audio sync profile, whenever I put it on the fans it uh

#

it doesn't go well

#

it says the audio lighting is an effect that matches the volume visualizer for windows in my audio source

how do I find that

because in my fan preview it seems like the fans are fine

wait nvm I just figured it out

so uh my dad asked me about crypto mining today and now he really wants to get a mining rig, so, my question is; is it still profitable to build a mining rig? I know youll be able to resell the GPUs once you stop, but, is it worth the effort?

Probably not

You either:

  1. get not that great of a deal and resell immediately during crash
  2. get good deals and dont worry too much over cards losing value over crash

Well the problem is the drive bay doesn’t have screw holes for the second drive

Is the drive Bay made for a drive caddy thing

No, the bottom bay has screws in the side to mount to the top bay doesn’t, doesn’t even have a slide out thingy

3700x ($300) or 5600x ($280)?

5600X unless you need the extra cores for editing or something

split tide
#

yeah i dont edit but i will stream

#

ty

balmy patio
#

even for stream you'll prob want more cores

#

assuming you're not just streaming your face or using a capture card to stream off of

brittle tinsel
#

Cam

#

I hate autocorrect

balmy patio
#

oh no i meant assuming you’re not gonna just stream ur face or sum and not have multiple apps open to stream game, you’re good enough with the 5600x

little osprey
#

nvenc

little osprey
balmy patio
# little osprey nvenc

yeah that’s for the stream, but i’m assuming he’s gonna have other stuff open too?

little osprey
#

game likely won't use 4+ cores

autumn wolf
#

using nvenc even with other stuff like facecam, its not gonna use up much cpu

balmy patio
#

ahh i see

#

so would there be a benefit going for a 3700x over a 5600x for game+stream or not really?

autumn wolf
#

not a great deal other than game performance but for streaming if youre running off of nvenc its not going to be a big difference

#

using cpu vs gpu for encoding is a different story though

have you tried allocating more memory?

rancid lodge
#

Okay it runs slightly better at 24 chunks instead of 34

#

no

#

it runs at 120 smooth with 24 chunks

balmy patio
#

34 chunks damn

#

no wonder bruh, it's rendering so much at the same time

rancid lodge
#

well even after loading all the chunks

#

just turning

#

would kill the fps occasionally

#

not even entering new chunks

#

whenever I move my camera it's just

#

death

violet harness
#

I mean

rancid lodge
#

It's a 5900x

violet harness
#

5900x

balmy patio
#

well

violet harness
#

and 580

rancid lodge
#

bottleneck is CPU in minecraft

balmy patio
#

it shouldn't be that low either way

rancid lodge
#

580 is only at ~30%

#

it happens whenever I move

#

it's a lot of chunks but like

balmy patio
#

even with uhd630 you should get decent enough fps

rancid lodge
#

it shouldn't be that bad

#

at 32 chunks I get ~85 FPS with 40-50~ fps spikes when I turn my camera

balmy patio
#

how much ram do you have?

rancid lodge
#

32 GB

balmy patio
#

how much do you have allocated to the server?

rancid lodge
#

in mem: it fluctuates between 50-80%

#

2 GB (2048)

#

I didn't think it'd be this bad with all the chunks though

#

again especially on a 5900x

balmy patio
#

hold on i think there's an option that loads chunks in even though you're standing still

#

lemme check rq

rancid lodge
#

It's gotta be something with my system and not the hardware

#

I had a similar issue before with my old i3

next kestrel
#

ram speeds?

rancid lodge
#

even when on far lower chunk settings

#

3600 CL16 @next kestrel

next kestrel
#

sounds like it should be fine then

balmy patio
#

yee

next kestrel
#

u might have allocated only like 2gb of ram to minecraft from the launcher

balmy patio
#

try allocating more ram if you haven't to your game

rancid lodge
#

yeah okay

#

I haven't seen it hit 100% but I'll try that

balmy patio
rancid lodge
#

oh was it?

balmy patio
#

or the 100% might just mean another thing

rancid lodge
#

oh that's always on 100%, I thought that just means that 100% of that 2048 is allocated

#

I was thinking about the mem above that

balmy patio
#

same

#

do you have optifine?

rancid lodge
#

-Xmx__2__G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M

for this it's just edting the 2 to whatever I want right?

rancid lodge
#

but I was just testing vanilla

balmy patio
#

okok

#

lemme check if that same setting is on vanilla

rancid lodge
#

Pretty sure from what I remember it is that 2

#

gonna try and put 5 on it

balmy patio
#

ight lmk if the problem still exists

rancid lodge
#

sorta worked, cranked it up to max 32 and it's, kinda better?

balmy patio
#

wdym?

rancid lodge
#

the spikes aren't as bad

#

but that 100% went down to 80%

#

I cranked the chunks up to 32 btw

#

not the allocated RAM LOL

balmy patio
#

ohhh

rancid lodge
#

yeahhh

balmy patio
#

so what did you put 5 on?

rancid lodge
#

GB of memory

#

trying 7 now and it's not much better, lower drops were 30 FPS

balmy patio
#

how much memory is it currently using?

rancid lodge
#

well under Mem: ##% ####/####MB it uses at max 50-60%

#

at allocated it sits at 82% consistently

#

never changes

balmy patio
#

i want the number that's there

#

not the one below

#

lemme see if i can find out what the one below is rq

rancid lodge
#

yeah that does fluctuate, that was around 50-60% at most extreme FPS drops @balmy patio

balmy patio
#

ight that's good

#

and you have allocated 5gb of ram now, correct?

rancid lodge
#

7 now lol

balmy patio
#

ight

rancid lodge
#

want me to get a alt f3 recording

balmy patio
#

if you'd like

#

imma pull up vanilla mc rq

bitter plank
#

Can someone gimme a build list for 300 dallor pc

balmy patio
#

@rancid lodge use optifine bruh they've got better video settings

#

vanilla mc doesn't have the option to optimize gpu load smh

rancid lodge
#

yeah I will but it's not even the GPU load

#

it's only at 30% at any given time

balmy patio
#

smh

#

that's kinda low, it'd be nice to check if the fps or the rendering gets better with more gpu load

rancid lodge
#

might provide some insight?

balmy patio
#

try optifine if you can

#

there's a setting there that might make a difference

rancid lodge
#

yeah one sec let me get the 1.16.5 profile

#

forgot which website it is

balmy patio
#

and does this also happen while you're not hosting the server or just while hosting the server?

rancid lodge
#

@balmy patio internal server

balmy patio
autumn wolf
#

youre running a server while playing the game on the same machine? cause thats gonna cause performance issues

cursive wharf
#

actually dont use optifine

rancid lodge
#

no not yet

#

I am going to

autumn wolf
#

use sodium if you want more fps

#

optifine is if you want shaders

rancid lodge
#

but I wanted to see normal performance first

cursive wharf
#

canvas+lithium+phosphor

cursive wharf
autumn wolf
#

canvas does better?

cursive wharf
#

sodium for better shader support

rancid lodge
#

I may use shaders but I want it to look and play good

#

on a CPU heavy game with a 5900x, shouldn't have an issue

cursive wharf
#

optifine for advanced shaders

autumn wolf
#

minecraft likes better single core perf iirc

rancid lodge
#

yeah

cursive wharf
#

MC engine just 💩 really

rancid lodge
#

but at 4.8 boost

cursive wharf
#

yeah, but there is very little multithreading going on

rancid lodge
#

mhm

cursive wharf
#

Also stay at like 16 chunks max tbf

#

going more tends to be sucky for perf

#

might be able to do 20, idk

autumn wolf
#

16 is imo the best if youre just playing the game

#

dont see any reason to go higher unless youre doing screenshots

cursive wharf
#

On bedrock playing at like 32 or 64 or amazingly nice

rancid lodge
#

LMAO

#

I cranked it up to 48 chunks on optifine

#

and it's around 110 at max set to 120

#

90-100 when moving around

#

uh oh

#

I get these

#

random bad spikes

#

that drop me to 0

#

that red spike though

lyric thistle
#

That's weird, I've always been able to go up to 64 chunks with Optifine, and I always hear people saying that 48 is the max

rancid lodge
#

these spikes are completely random lol

tame coral
#

@rancid lodge I like how you have a super good CPU then a alright graphics card lol

rancid lodge
#

@tame coral yeah it's temp as my nickname says

cursive wharf
#

Also, optifine+lithium+phosphor is nice

#

you can do optifine instead of canvas if you want

#

I usually do that

#

Also just wait until you render an okay amount of entities, like 60 - 70 or smth from a village. Entity rendering is crazy terrible for some reason

little osprey
#

hello may someone plz help me go over my pc components to see what i should upgrade

rancid lodge
#

yeah for whatever reason I get weird completely random total death spikes where I drop to 0 FPS even when standing still when I go above 35 chunks

Hey anyone know how I can edit the “PCH Fan speed” in the Bios or in Corsair’s icue software?

#

It’s a elite cappelix, the h150 360mm

#

And the fans on it spin at 500 RPM

#

And I can’t change that

#

At least, I can’t find out how to

balmy patio
#

the fans should be connected to the cpu fan header

rancid lodge
#

They’re in a hub

#

The RGB is in a RGB hub and the fan connectors are in the Fan part of the h150 hub

balmy patio
#

and what is the hub connected to?

rancid lodge
#

Internal USB

#

It’s listed in the bios as the PCH fan speed, there’s a rear fan not in the fan hub

#

I also have SP RGB Pro fans plugged into that hub because they work in it (they just go 100% regardless of load since they’re only three pin unlike the four pin fans I’m trying to adjust)

balmy patio
rancid lodge
#

Yeah there’s two hubs, one for the RGB and one for fan and RGB but I didn’t use any of those RGB slots

balmy patio
#

that's fine

#

but what is the fan hub connected to?

rancid lodge
#

Internal USB

#

So would I change the speed in bios or in another Corsair software?

balmy patio
#

i'm pretty sure it's through software

rancid lodge
#

Alright

#

I’ll find which software

#

I don’t think it’s in icue

#

Cause I looked and it had the RPM monitor

#

But no editing graph

#

okay so

itsquiet.PNG
#

I just don't see a way to change it

#

wait hang on

#

I control clicked to select multiple

#

and now the RPM on the AIO is balanced and at ~800 RPM

#

but that's still slower than the others at standard

#

is that just cause the AIO fans are supposed to be slower?

balmy patio
#

can't you set a fan curve or anything similar?

rancid lodge
#

no but I can set the AIO fans to go at 1900 RPM LOL

#

It sounds like a tornado
