that's what i was told too lol
Actually, the only difference between the mATX and ATX Pro4 I can see is 1 less PCIe x1 slot
protection plan is always worth it right
ehhh
if the only difference is PCI slot then it should be fine
Imo, if it's DOA, you'll be able to figure that out within the 30 day return window, if you have issues with it later, you can contact manufacturer about a RMA
No
RIP
Pretty much XD
Might have to hit up the chat again for installation help if i need it
always makes me nervous ima mess up a cable
That's what we here for
Have a nice weekend yall. I'll be back xD
:)

hi
hallo
Workstation for school or office?
could you help me get a pc under £600 for a worstation without a GPU
maybe not THAT cheap 🙂
Yo usaid under $600
The motherboard price isn't listed there
That will bring it to $520 ish
Motherboard is out of stock
£600 is about $830
if it's just a workstation though for office or school with no GPU and not gaming, could always save a few bucks
wrong currency symbol
I know exactly what it is lol
wdym?
ok
and vintage too since he gave you a $600 list
I mean, this one is $800 but motherboard and case are out of stock
I did not. I knew the currency
I see
Just don't see the nee to spend $800 for a workstation that won't do games or anything
But here's one https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QbqjQD
Did you expect me not to?
Cuz cheap and good
i've even seen that particular board scalped for $270 (and sold for that much) quite a few times
it might do some gaming @muted patio
so... GPU time?
nah
a 2080??
ye
mighta been nice to know
sure it is lol
I know someone who runs a 2080 and 3600x with a white rated 500w PSU
Thermaltake smart or something
imagine, i could sell on ebay and buy a 3090 :/
mhmm
here
better PSU
the Segotep one in the last list was not the safest/greatest for a 2080
#barbecue
what would be a decent system for an rtx 3090 blendewr
that sounds like an order
anyone know how many fans the 5000D comes with?
or front panel clearance?
nah
2 fans iirc
you didnt give a budget
heh
i will be getting an RTX 3090 no matter what
for how long will you be using the system as a workstation?
Blender works just fine, on even massive meshes on a 3070
please may you make it on pcpartpicker UK
cant you remake the list on PCPP UK?
takes a good few minutes to make a list you know
@wanton cliff they need ya to make a new list based off uk prices
While you can just type uk. In front of the link to convert it, lists that get switched over is wack
Don't need exchange rate
Uk.pcpp uses gbp
I think I'll just go and make one xD
im so tired rn
I'm like 2 hours from going on break so I feel like I'm done with everything
you know that feeling when you are just kinda done and start to do things that you know are rash and not good but you do them anyways?
Yep
Many a 3am pcpp lists I have sent
@mild axle so, 1500gbp list not including 3090?
oof the psu prices are wack
mhmm
revolt pro 1000w fine tho
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dsc9LP would this work for them?
@mild axle this will be fun
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2ttvF8
afaik 5900x shortage is as bad in the UK as it is in the US
so
does that mobo have a flashback button?
I choose 10900k
yee
10850k is poggers
Aorus pro should
10900k is unpoggers
fair
afterall there was enough budget for me to go fancy and get a galahad 360mm
i just went for a u12a smh
looks bad
mhmm
i hope the black version doesn't disappoint
what cpu?
keep it pretty chilly?
A 1060 and some radeon hd lol
Ah
I would have put my Vega 56 in mine as well, but there isn't enough room for both cards
What are you doing with the cards?
Yeah, that's what I'm doing with the 3060, as well as using it for upscaling with my Discord bot
As in, memory?
Yeah
How much do you have?
I think 4 gigs and I'm not even sure if it's ecc so could be the problem
Ah, ok
Only a 4 core xeon
Lol
Though 128GB of ECC in there
😳
I had 2 64GB sticks, so I just put them in
You should, might as well mine, free money, covers the phone bill or something
Yeah
My father works with servers, so we get a lot of hardware for free from them
Lots of core 2 duos
I was looking at mods in the in game menu, lost connection to Bnet, and them crashed.
lmao
Yeah, I love fallout. Actually just beat the game for the whatever time now, and decided I'll finally do a minutemen ending, I had to take down the entire institute, with no stimpaks. It was terrifying.
Oh that's cake walk
But dude, I hate fighting anything that resembles a human in FO4 because they don't know how to stay tf still.
Synths, humans, ghouls
Hate fighting them.
Oh that brings me to another thing, I finally found a game my 1660s won't 4k60 high,
Lol
It shouldn't be that hard to find for a 1660
Fedex says my package is expected by tonight at 8pm local, but that’s in less than 6 hours and fedex site doesn’t even say the package is in Florida, it’s been in transit for 36 hours from Maryland to Florida
Should I stay home waiting on it or is delivery unrealistic
They have rockets that they can steal, they can deliver quickly. Don't worry.
I thought the same, but I only ever get 4k60 when in open world, if I load into a cell, I get like 30-40
Kek
Tho, realistically it's either someone being lazy to change from "on transit" to "in city whatever" or times are being whack
Both
People being lazy, and then them blaming it on CoViD
Covid added extra air resistance that is slowing the whole process we are very sorry
I hate that companies blame covid for EVERYTHING
But they do it cause they know they'll get a free pass.
NOt like shipmesnts have increased 10 fold with Covid because people ordering more things
Like, "Hey man, I ordered my pizza 2 months ago, and still haven't had it delivered"
"Oh, we're terribly sorry, but due to covid, we decided to cancel your order amd keep the money."
But they also probably have to limit the amount of people in the facilities (usps has always been limited kek snail mail) so that probably doesn't help
Anything purchased on the us should have the option of same day shipping just with a scalable charge
Just realized I'm in #building-and-recc-chat kek
Ey so quick compatability question. I got an i5-6600k, would it work with this MB? https://www.newegg.com/asus-rog-strix-z590-i-gaming-wifi/p/N82E16813119377?Description=ASUS ROG motherboard Intel&cm_re=ASUS_ROG motherboard Intel-_-13-119-377-_-ProductSince
i have an M.2 SSD and i've read that some of these bords won't support the SSD if the processors are too old of a gen, especially with the new Maximus Heros MBs.
Thanks, i'm trying to update my rig since it's been awhile.
I can't, it's not supported anymore and one of the rams sockets has a mem leak.
hmmm
native HDMI ports fried too
Hero Maximus VIII
ok so atx form factor
yeah its atx
Mid tower
mhm
10400F and B560 TBH
Yeah, 10400f beats 6600k
whats a matx 1151 board go for?
100 to 300 I think?
That's going to be Z170 chipset
Prices all over the place
Cuz not made for years
$400 gets you 10400F, mobo and ram. And a nice speedy upgrade as well
Actually, $350
I also need a upgrade to a Type A and C port. Fiance's an artist and needs some support for her wacom 1 tablet. I have a Gtx 1050 but i also need a Native Hdmi that works for split display.
I have a set of XLR8 DDR4 ram 2666Mhz, and an old red G skill set. 32gigs in total. 24 atm cuz of the memory leak
yeah 3200 c16 is where its at for intel atm
I mean allot of the time i run out of memory for programs/apps. Figured out that it was one ram socket doing it when i tried installing all four sticks.
Got to a point where it couldn't boot until i removed one of em on that specific port.
It's a ship thats floating at least 😅
Vintage PFP change
yes
Uh, is that malware bytes?
don't buy anything, use the free version and Windows Defender
Yes, after trial ends, you can still use the scanning for free
It's just no more active protection in terms of blocking website things
They call it real-time protection, but basically just blocking websites with malware, and not letting you download malware from websites
sound like i should buy it tho
Good adblocker like ublock origin should already do that anyways :p
Oh and I think premium let's you schedule scans, but you only really need to scan once in a while anyways
windows defender 👀
:)
WOrks just fine unless you're doing silly things that you shouldn't be
yo @wanton cliff @muted patio (@'ing u guys bc u helped me) so whenever im downloading something or sometimes its random, i hear my (what i assume is my hdd) like moving
like i dont care too much about the noise
i just want to know if thats bad
its gotta be the hdd
ok ty
yeah thats normal
HDDs have spinning platters
I wonder is 11700k really worth 400$ 🤔
Spinning platters and moving heads
no
id honestly get 10700kf, its like 260 rn
Well, not that we know of anyway. Real tests haven't been done yet
Is this where I come for help... lol
Cuz my computer won’t boot into bios and I can’t figure what’s going on 😪
is it normal for my fans to be making a kind of like almost gurgling sound, its somewhat infrequent and its not that loud and temps are fine but its kind of weird
im worried it might be scratching against something
@little osprey yeah you can ask here, ignore the fact that im trying to get help for something else lol
NEVERMIND IM A TOTAL IDIOT LMAOO
xd
I was like “why the hell isn’t it booting into bios” I plugged the Fricking display port into the MOBO and not the GPU LMAOOO
is there any tools too verify all my drivers cause im having some in game issues
nvidia or radeon?
nvidia
hmm idk for nvidia
in game my audio and game freezes and like my audio go like errrrrrrrr
like lags i guess
You bought amd 
or an f cpu
anyone
like its same price as 10850k 🤔tbh i want to buy 10700kf too but that z590 mobos looks so hottt
Yes i went AMD what about it
if it wasn't a g cpu then 😳 funny moment
I am curious tho why is it when I plug the fan cable header into the aio port like I’m supposed to it says cpu fan error? I switched it to the cpu fan port but it’s not supposed to be in there is it?
It makes the error go away at least but i dont know if that’s proper
Hey guys
So I am facing a dilemma
I can’t seem to get my graphics card to go in the slot
On the left where the grommet should be is some sort of standout that doesn’t let the bracket in all the way
I can send a picture
Usually you have to pop it open like the ram slots and then it’ll click in
But maybe you already tried that i dont know
Yeah I opened it and it goes in only a little
It doesn’t go in all the way
Any thoughts?
I’m not 100% sure what I’m looking at here
You mean lack thereof
Ahhhh I see now
What’s the issue?
This is the last thing in the build and I can start installing win10 and drivers
Ohhhh, I read up
Check the tab at the bottom of the GPU to be sure it's perfectly straight
The metal one that fits in there
Yea I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit
I have removed the screws, but there is a little retention clip
I want to get just the IO shield
So I don’t damage anything when I’m flattening it out
That part IDK about, I've never taken one off. Should just be all screws
Ah yeah, it is a little bent
Probably why having issues then
It should just unscrew from the card itself
There’s a screw under the card and I don’t think I could get it out without unscrewing the entire panel
Ohhhh, i see now yeah
Could I bend it back to place without damaging the card or removing the shield?
yes, very carefully
Absolutely, just take your time and be careful and you can do it
What can I use?
I would say a small crescent wrench and a pair of pliers
Like this, I use them to bend metal all the time
I’ll see if I can find one
Oh ok
something like these?
Lemme see if I can find some
can anyone help me
Possibly, it's a bit overkill so just be careful!
I found these
They’re a bit tiny but could they work?
@muted patio
Installed, thank you!
Sorry was dinner with my wife. Good job!!
Sweet!
Now gotta check for POST
what cheap b550 board with wifi is recommended
Probably this one? Not exactly cheap but the cheapest with WiFi I've seen. https://www.newegg.com/asus-tuf-gaming-b550-plus/p/N82E16813119348R?Description=B550&cm_re=B550-_-13-119-348R-_-Product
thanks
Whats up
Cheap wifi boards use realtek wifi adapters. Many people have issues with connection with realtek. I would recommend buying an aftermarket pcie wifi card.
can someone help me
i am getting the worst fps drops ever all of the suddenj
never happened before
Game? PC specs?
Game and pc specs?
Lol vintage
Ram speed?
3600 mhz
Any new app you installed?
Ok so install msi afterburner
And use the heads up display function to keep an eye on cpu usage, cpu temp, cpu speed, gpu usage, gpu temp and gpu speed
And play the game for a while
m gpu gets too 80 c
80 c is fine
Check it with the on screen metrics on msi afterburner
All the things I told you to
Which power plan are you using?
Install the amd power plans.
@ancient wraith
should i use driver booster
No
what is a tool too validate all of my drivers
No
Tell me your motherboard chipset
You built ur own pc or is it a prebuilt?
i built should i get my mother board box
is it alright for my 5600x to be running at like 40-50 while im doing light tasks like having discord open and using browsers, but it also never goes above 65 while gaming
i know like 30s is a good idle temp but idk if what im doing is considered idle
Yes
You know you can send the download link
Right?
Im on mobile so it was linking me to a download incompatible site
Ah
hold on i probably shouldnt do it while im playing
Probably smart
im raiding someone
Lasting Quality from GIGABYTE.GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ motherboards bring together a unique blend of features and technologies that offer users the absolute ...
Update to the latest bios as well
@muted patio yo, do know if ILM helmets are any good? They're cheap, but Idk if they are good.
Okay. I was looking at those
HOw much is your brain worth lol?
Also looking at Shoei and ICON
Excellent.
I think my brain is worth about $80
Lol
Jk, I'll probably find one around the $3-400 range
10 cents
Oooo, I found this really nice Shoei one for $700
Nevermind it's $800 with the paint I want...
I may look elsewhere
what wifi card do u guys recommend and how much is it
yeah prolly like 30 bucks id say
TP-Link Archer T4E good for $23.99? wifi 5 tho
@frank stirrup
yeah
wifi 6 is unnecessary curremtly because compatible routers cost a kidneys worth
Did u install the chipset drivers
and update the bios?
It wont
use the @bios utility to do it
its available in the gigabyte app center
From within Windows?
how about the chipset
I sent you the link.
Yeah he can bios flashback but I havent had any issues with updating my X570 aorus elite wifi from the gigabyte utility
He's going with a 5k on his board?
what do i do for bios
Do you have the gigabyte app center installed?
here
unzip the file
That link
you want to drag and drop the file named B550AE.13e onto ur desktop.
Now in the gigabyte app centre, launch The bios util
whats a good ~$70 case
quit all background programs btw
discord
ignore that
even
thats to change the boot up image from the aorus eagle
i can change the pioc too what ever i want
There is a lot of restrictions on size and format so i would suggest dont.
Quit each and every program except app center and bios util
no
My pc restarted
I think
I've seen the eagle 3 times is that bad
I'm ba k in my pc
Make sure to go into bios and re enable XMP
If an aio as a leak with it leak before building the rig and powering on?
Wait
bios update restores the settings to default
How do I go into bios again
huh?
Nvm
spam F2
If an aio is damaged will it visibly leak without putting it in a rig and powering it on
Is this even the right thing
you spammed F12 instead of F2 smh
Oh I see now lol sorry I’m on mobile and autocorrect is kicking my ass
Oops what now
Depends on the level and location of damage
Did I mess up bad
I would recommend connecting the headers to the motherboard and testing it without putting it on first
no just press the escape key and spam f2
Hmm, only wondering because I got my aio but only one in stock was “like new” because of damaged packaging and it’s covered by Amazon
Yeah just connect the headers to the mobo and run it outside the pc
But won’t the water leak from where the heatsync is supposed to sit on the cpu?
I thought the heatsync was opened bottom to move cold water across the top of cpu
Wait how would that work with thermal paste lmfao I think I’m tripping
hey @frank stirrup what was the other stuff you wanted me too try
should i actually do this
you are.
Download the chipset drivers I linked
and install them
Lol so water won’t leak out of the cpu socket? Or mount bracket what ever it’s called
Its a sheet of metal
As general rule, not if it’s damaged
so no
Ah ok
Is $500 for a 1070ti (used “like new”) high priced? I mean that’s close to a 30 series cards msrp
I’m looking for a card better than a 1060 3gb for around $200-$300
Which I don’t think is realistic right now
Msrp of like 450 usd
Should, without a shortage, be in that 200-300 price range I feel like
Maybe a bit higher up to 400
500 isn't a great price
List is private
In terms of psu, motherboard, cpu, aio, and case doesn’t look bad, all that other stuff I have no idea so maybe someone else will be more informed in this case
Also $60,000 in your currency is insane which currency is that?
Ssd, fans, thermal paste and monitor also look good.
smh pls look at the currency symbol
P 60k is around $1.2k
Ah ok
philippine peso
Ah ok, I should have figured with the Philippine case
the case is from a local brand
Yeah
$35 mesh atx case 
Damn
The mesh atx case I’m getting is $200 including shipping
Without shipping it’s 170
it's not that accesible for other countries so yea it's v nice
and yea it has a vertical mount slot that doesn't make sense
When I went to your cases website it said out of stock, did you manage to grab one up?
Ah
Man I feel like I’m playing whack a mole with pc parts with everything being out of stock
i like the tecware forge too but yea i'll change it to it lol
Finally grabs the aio and cpu now just more whack a mole with the rest
already has fans
1x120mm and 2x200mm fans lol
like this but the shop didn't specify if it's rgb or not but anyways, i'mma change ram to rgb one to compliment this lol
if not rgb, better so i can see the polygonal mesh panel better
435.61$ must have an ssd (not hdd)
At least 4gb ram (8gb preferred)
Warranty is a damn must
Must have amazons name in the transaction thingy
No scams, must have refundable things, return policy
and yeah thats it
help me find a laptop with these
i live in the UAE
Lol a pls would he nice jeez
That’s a tight budget lol
So… what you are saying is find me a chrome book on Amazon?
@vapid bay looks pretty good. AIO is kinda overkill for that cpu but I don’t know availability for coolers in the Philippines.
Try getting the 6gb variant second hand tbh
That’s more pricey than a 3070 near me right now
So the cpu cooler is VERY overkill. buy a cheaper air cooled one isntead of an aio since its a non k i5. Also all coolers come with a small syringe of thermal paste
Ough F
Maybe try an rx 570 8 gb or an rx 580?
I’ve got 3 570 4gb cards in a box, I’m trying to sell em but nobody is biting, I need nvidia encoder plus I have only ever had bad experience with amd drivers
Nvidia encoder on 1000 series is dogwater
Very high overheads
A id cooling se 224 xt or gammaxx 400
TBH I would cpu encode rather than use 1000 series encoder
I’m not trying to kill my pc bro lol
I have only ever used amd cards and Ive had great experience with them ngl
What cpu u got?
I’ve had issues with drivers crashing and I had to use some 3rd party patcher to fix it which is stupid
At the time of streaming beforehand i5-3570, 3900x will be here Monday
I dunno because ive been using a 4gb rx 570 for over a year now and absolutely 0 issues
My old rig fried it’s self
The 3900x can encode WAY faster than 1000 series nvidia graphics
But at game performance no!
?*
Like the cost is game stability
And I’ve heard encoding with the cpu isn’t as high quality as with a nvidia encoder
3900x has 12 cores you'll be fine cpu encoding
Nvm i thought you said 5900x
But 3900x should still be okay
Right on, I’ll give it a shot when I build it, fingers crossed at least
Nvidia nvenc on 2000 and up
Can’t afford one
I’ve heard 1650 super and up have the same as 2000 series
But those are sky high prices right now
Yep 1650 super does
Most games take a max of 6 cores... that still leaves a lotta cores to record via cpu
1000 series non super gpu encode is big frame drop
1600 you mean? There was no 1000 supers
1650 super
Yes that's what i thought, i said 1600 as in 1600 series ie 1650/1660
Anyone know of any close to msrp 1600 or 2000 cards?
I wish :/
Cpu encoding works just fine
And a 1000 series graphics card would definitely be the limiting factor when playing any game
I doubt you’d see anymore than like 40-50% cpu usage when playing any game
You would have tons of headroom to do cpu encoding
As long as I’m able to stream/record warzone at 60fps I’m happy, on my old CPU I couldn’t do 30fps without streaming
It got bad if I tried
If you aren’t using nvenc gpu encoding is going to be trash
I had a i5 3570 but was using 1060 as encoder if I used it to stream
Yeah warzone 60fps would be kinda difficult with a 1060
Mainly streamed tarkov and siege
But cpu encode wouldn’t limit performance
What about with cpu encoder
With or without cpu encoder running the game will struggle a bit because that’s a huge bottleneck
3900x is a pretty good cpu so I doubt you would ever see worse frame rates while gaming because of cpu encoding unless you had a 2080 or better I’m guessing
I’ve only got 2 options on hand and that is if my gpu isn’t fried, (1060)
I have a 1060 3gb
And I could do dual rx570 if they support it on warzone
4gb gigabyte rx 570 to be exact
You could try running at medium setting and seeing what frames you can get with the 1060
Asus 1060 3gb
When you play currently with your intel chip, is the cpu or gpu the one that’s the limiting factor
I always play 1080p lowest settings with the 1060 and my cpu is the bottleneck (not 3900x)
Oh yeah the 3900x won’t bottleneck
You might not be able to get 60fps on high but on medium you could probably manage
Medium low ish
the 3gb of vram would limit you I believe in higher presets
I’m totally fine with lowest settings available I have played that way on all games for 4 years on my old pc
Only reason the psu Burned up is I didn’t know it had a bottom vent and it clogged up and that was it
(It was my first pc and I didn’t want to open it and break things, I’ve learned a lot over that 4 year period though)
ik, i'm buying it with one since i'm also planning to paste my laptop. aio is just, yes
gammaxx gte v2 black if i'm not gonna do aio since it's the cheapest all black air cooler here. aio i just put it in there coz i kinda liked it that's all lol
but i placed the gte v2 before that lol
A 1600 can barely do 40 fps because vram bottlenck
Even low presets in warzone
Use 1 of those.
I record at medium preset and run the game at 50fps average on my system
at low presets in warzone and anti aliasing upped to high
nope
3 gb gddr isnt really enough
3gb is pretty small amount
Guys what the matter its spent one day and its on hold
Please DM @fresh garden and ask them
No one else can help you here
Ok thanks
Yep! Might take them a bit to respond so try and be a little patient lol. 🙂
anyone who has a mini pc how much does it weigh
That will depend on what hardware they have and if it watercooled or not btw
can i get a ball park with a 2 pound gpu aircooled
depends on case too
id guess 25-30 ish
could be heavier depending on case and stuff
it def aint as portable as a gaming laptop tho
Mhmm
That's why I went on the light side
I'm sure you could make it to 50 lbs with a chonky enough case and everything
is the ryzen 5 5600x better than the r9 3900x? for gaming and everyday usage?
looks like 5600x is slightly better
dont quote me on that tho i literally just searched 5600x vs 3900x and watched the first benchmark video
for gaming at least
i have a 5600x and it does amazing for me with all my work
Yes, faster single core
5600x is faster for gaming but if you have a 3900x don't downgrade to a 5600x
Ryzen 9 to 5
ah
yeah its more just what ur gonna be doing
if its more gaming oriented, 5600x
if more heavy workload, 3900x
Yeah, if you already have a 3900x tho don't bother buying a new cpu for at least another 2 years especially if you would replace it with a ryzen 5 but if you dont already have an amd motherboard you can get an i7 10700k for roughly same price as 5600x and if you live near a micro centre you can get a i9 10850k for 300ish
Can someone give me a build with a 1660ti with a $1000 budget on everything except the gpu
Not on today’s market bro, 1660 ti is way over msrp
Like 6-10 times over
I already have the 1660ti but idk what parts to get with it
Oh ok, I mean personally I would just slap a 3900x in it if your gonna be streaming or scripting and stuff like that
Is the 1660ti all you have? Or do you have a psu or anything like that you are reusin? I’ll try to make you a pcpartpixker list but I’m on mobile and in town, may have dead zones here and there so bare with me
Nvm I’m just gonna leave this to a professional here, I’m not knowledgeable on the coolers and stuff, I went with a 3900x and an arctic freezer, that alone was $600 and msi tomahawk another $170, now I gotta get case fans and stuff, so I’m not the person to help on this
Im sorry bro
And that’s about all I know I didn’t research everything else because I needed the 12 cores for the work I do
R5 3600's are same perf as i5 10400 and it's about 50 cheaper, unless you already have the motherboard would recommend the 10400
3060 for 500 bucks smh
I'd change everything but the case, PSU and GPU
10400F, B560 MB, keep the ram, Mushkin Pilot E NVME drive
And an SSE224XT or Gammax 400 cooler
I can help you
as in, a 1k list without gpu?
or 1k including the price of the 1660ti
Without the gpu
not possible to get below $500 btw
$20 over but real close. Could change hard drive to a smaller one to save some money https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zCZR8J
The person already has a 1660 ti
Anyway to get ryzen instead
There's no point unless you already have an am4 motherboard, intel is way better value atm
better value and better perf in game
You'll be giving some things up
Well technically the 5600x beats the i7 in games but the i7 way better value
sucks that all b560 boards are oos
Time to install my OS on a $200+ hard drive
Soft flex?
is the asus tuf gaming b560m plus wifi good
980 evo pro
Gross
The rocket 4 plus would disagree with you 😉
980 Pro is kinda a downgrade from 970 pro lol
Higher seqs for worse random
Random is generally much more useful
Sad
Well I can't find 970 pros so.....
Ye, 980 pro was quite the letdown. Dont know if 970 pro is EOLed or not but eh. mp600 Pro (not to be confused with non pro) and 4plus (not to be confused with 4 non plus) I believe are fastest, with SN850 second
Yeah, believe so
@muted patio did you say that the fans should look like this?
Those look like all in take fans from this angle
Wait didn’t see the rad and the fans on the top
Hard drive caddy
Hello all, does anyone know where I can find this particular hd mounting bracket? Its for a Eluna 242v case.
Looks pretty standard to me for a 3.5/2.5 drive
True, but I can seem to locate them via search. The mounting bracket simply slides into the drive-bay and clicks into place. It has small pins near the tabs that locks the bracket in place. squeeze the tabs inward it slides out.
I suppose its considered tool-less. Though, 2 screws are needed to attach the hd to the bracket on either the 3.5/2.5 type drives.
Unfortunately, there are no markings on the brackets.
You're right, I've seen that design bracket with so many different kinds of cases but it's turning out to be harder to find than I thought. I'll look at case manufacturer sites for "replacement parts".
@inland ledge Were you planning to use this with another 2.5 inch drive or a 3.5?
At the moment, another 3.5.
That looks like it will fit
That link 😫
Sorry I'm on mobile atm
LOL...thanks for the links will look into them...didn't think I would have to work so hard for these mounting brackets. LOL
hey got a question
i need to know if this nvme will work on my motherboard
if it will be able to be used in both slots on my motherboard i mean
Buy the mushkin pilot e instead
And yes it will work
all sold out
link to one u are talking about plz
the kingston one does about 2k mbs for read and write
@desert gulch out of stock bro
i went to ur link and its stating out of stock
What country?
usa
Doubt
kk
yeah
the pilot e on amazon and new egg sold out
wtf
its now showing its available lol
On Newegg?
so i can use the pilot e in both slots for my motherboard?
Yes, you can buy two and use one in each slot
And either keep one as a boot drive and one as a game drive or raid 0 them together
well i am not going to format since i am already using a solid state
so i will just use them in raid 0 as a gaming memory
Are you using a sata ssd for your os
yup
Personally I would transfer the os to one of your nvme ssds
Because it would be much faster and os should be in the fastest storage
Just dont mess up your pc while doing that. I had a friend who had to reinstall windows via flash cuz he screwed up
Pc wouldn't boot off the right drive xd
You just have to change it in the bios lol
I have 6 switch what can I do with it?
hi anyone know why my pc is suddleny having loads of lag spikes in games and is slow loding yt vids??
That sounds like an internet issue
i tried that and its still laggy i think its hardware or software because my gfs pc is fine
Try update your WiFi/lan drivers
Also run virus scan
how do u do that?
i have i did a Norton full scan
Go to the manufacturer of your wifi card etc and download the driver for it, imo its easier to just use something like driver booster
Malwarebytes scan, does better at detecting things. Free version is fine.
im using Ethernet on my motherboard so i updated my motherboard bios earlier but that didnt work
alr ill try that now
BIOS has almost nothing to do with ethernet
it was worth a shot tho
Another thing to try is running "netsh int ip reset" from command prompt to reset network stack
reboot after
ok alr
Just the wlan drivers from the movo website
done im just gonna try a game
nope it didnt help its just laggs like mad then crashes
Well if you're sure that all the cables are good, then it might be a problem on your ISP. Are any other devices having problems?
A friend gave to me
yh all cables good and no my gfs pc works fine and my second pc is all good its just my main thats dogey
Did the game crash? Was It game side lag as in low fps or internet?
yh it crashed it lags as in fps
Ohh well because you said lag and YouTube not loading it sounded like an internet issue not a hardware one, what specs do you have
rtx 3090 i910900k aourus x299x waterforce
70 or 80 on gpu while playing doom 5 and like 40 on the cpu
yup
Hmm okay so not overheating or anything, is it 1 specific game?
no it does it on fortnite gta and doom
Emm that's weird, do you have a low wattage psu?
oh and fora motsport 7
no i have a corsair ax1600i its 1600w
That's fine
You could do 3090 in triple SLI with that PSU lol
ik its overkill
Have you tried running the troubleshooters in windows?
@muted patio you likey?
And sfc /scannow in cmd administrator
yh i also re installed winows idk what wrong
You completely reinstalled Windows and there's STILL problems?
You either have a bad install disk or bad hardware
I like the A-Wing Lego box
Lol, I just bought that too
I was thinking about getting this instead
But I'd have nowhere to put it.
yh i think it probly hardware but idk what cuz i swapped my psu from my other build 700w and it was the same and i swapped my gpu but nothing still same and my ram
Motherboard if you're using ethernet, Wifi card if wireless
i tried onboard wifi and a wifi card but it was still the same
They're having random crashes by the sounds of things too tho
only when i play games
But that's a hardware issue if the game crashes
If possible I'd narrow down the hardware, swapping parts for known good ones, starting from RAM
yh i think it probly hardware but idk what cuz i swapped my psu from my other build 700w and it was the same and i swapped my gpu but nothing still same and my ram
If it's not the RAM, SSD, GPU, or CPU, then it's definitely the motherboard
I check in that order personally
i also put all my suff on my gfs mobo and it was still the same so yh oooooof
Might be SSD, have you tested that?
yh i swappped my side and main builds ssd but still laggy
Are you able to swap the CPU?
yh i swapped with a i5 10400
And you said it's the same problem when you swap to another motherboard?
If that's the case then the only common factor is the network connection
i also used my mobile hotspot but the same so
I'm stumped then. You've swapped out every piece of hardware. You've reinstalled Windows. I've got no ideas left so I'm calling for help from @muted patio to see if we missed anything.
So it works fine on the other PCs connected to the internet in that house.
yh
Considering the time, this build (just finished yesterday, everything bought within the last week) is kinda cringe
its rlly comfuzing and i have no idea what it could be
Explain to me
Maybe I know something
I can only think of a driver problem, I’m very inexperienced with this kind of stuff. But I know that my brother had a laptop that had a bad driver on it. The only fix was installing the new driver . But like you said you updated all the drivers .
He gets crashes and youtube loads slow. Every piece of hardware has been checked/swapped. Windows has been reinstalled.
Specs?
rtx 3090 i910900k aourus x299x waterforce
This is probably why 😆
yh lol i had it for 3 or 4 weeks it was fine till 2 days ago

It’s gotta be a hardware problem, right?
That’s cool but irdk
Not relevant
Cool bio dad tho
That's what I thought too, must be hardware since even after OS reinstall problem persists
i think so but i dont know what cuz i swapped everying
Virus scanned too
Could it be a problem with his cooling system?
What kinda cooling system you you have
70-80C
the gpu is air cooled but my cpu is watercooled cuz it has that on the mobo
And I doubt that would affect youtube
I mean
it runs pretty cool
I want you to check task manager and see what clock speed your CPU and GPU are running at rq
ok 1 sec
@potent portal did you try a BIOS update?
yes
What exactly is the problem with YouTube?
It’s just buffering a lot or low quality or what?
buffering
Happens on both wifi and wire
my cpu is at around 1ghz
Could it just be a problem with motherboard PCIe lanes?
i swapped mobo aswel
You happen to have a separate LGA 2066 mobo lying around?
dont tell me gpu ill check msi afterburner
Is the GPU on a riser? That could also affect things
If it’s buffering that would be a CPU problem I think?
