You don't need the all state warranty

#

Contact support about a return/rma

south jewel
#

cant u contact the company?

stoic island
#

DM NeweggService if necessary

south jewel
#

the manufacturer or newegg

cunning knoll
#

yeah i got it

south jewel
cunning knoll
#

i just have to print the label and send it back thanks guys

brittle tinsel
#

So I ordered my case and Newegg says it would be here Monday (I paid a little extra to ship it faster than next Friday) but the app says it won’t ship until tomorrow, how accurate is the shipping times when you pay for faster shipping

potent portal
#

With the mail system as borked as it is right now trust no estimates. It could arrive tomorrow. It could arrive Friday next week. That's not really any retailer's fault, but mostly ours as consumers flooding everything.

little osprey
#

Can somebody link me a build list for this: 165fps, low-med settings, fortnite and valorant, 1440p, budget 1200usd

fossil cedar
#

Better be willing to hunt for gpus but there's nothing you can just straight buy atm btw

little osprey
#

@fossil cedar Ok can you link me a list with any GPU and ill try and find it

vagrant olive
#

for cleaning thermal paste off my ryzen cpu, would putting it back in its little plastic thing be a good spot to put it in

scenic turret
#

Yea thats fine^

vagrant olive
#

kk thanks

scenic turret
#

Just don't drop it lol

potent portal
#

1440p@165 fps? Uh... Even a RTX 3080 can only do about 130-140 in Fortnite at that resolution unless you drop quality settings to "high" instead of "epic". The 3080 is way out of your budget though.

fossil cedar
#

well they said low -medium i think

potent portal
#

Oh yeah I see that now

scenic turret
#

3060ti should be fine

little osprey
#

What do you think about low-med @potent portal

potent portal
#

Medium settings the 3080 does 160-170 fps

scenic turret
#

But the budget is 1200USD lol

fossil cedar
#

damm really i thought fortnite was supposed to be light enoungh

potent portal
#

That's what I'm trying to say, budget doesn't fit what you need it to do

fossil cedar
#

that assumes you can find a 3070 for msrp of 500 tho

#

allowes it to go to around 620 tho

#

ffs nvm forgot the psu lol

#

that psu

potent portal
#

On sale rn too

#

Nice unit

fossil cedar
#

yeah but thats basically 1150

#

probs closest youre gonna get for that budget @little osprey

brittle tinsel
#

Does the case or psu come with sata data cables or no?

potent portal
#

Motherboard usually comes with 2 sata cables

fossil cedar
#

mobo yeah

#

even cheap mobos give you 2 sata cables

brittle tinsel
#

Ok sweet, I have 3 spare sata data on hand but I have 6 drives (unless 2 are fried) so I didn’t know if I would need to buy one

potent portal
#

They're cheap if you do need more

#

Like 3 for $7 on Amazon

fossil cedar
#

yeah ^

brittle tinsel
#

I’ve been 2 weeks without a pc and it feels like I’m in hell

jaunty nacelle
#

its not that bad

#

its been 6 months and 5 days since i last used a pc

#

play mobile games

fossil cedar
#

oof

brittle tinsel
jaunty nacelle
#

i use my ipad for school lol

#

it sucks but it works

potent portal
#

And then it went POOF
Literally

rigid oracle
#

how is this for a cpu

stoic island
#

That price is oof

#

@rigid oracle what's the purpose of the build?

vagrant olive
rigid oracle
#

oh entry level gaming pc

vagrant olive
#

we poggin today bois

stoic island
#

Yea no

vagrant olive
#

was 100% broken pump last night

rigid oracle
#

something that can run doom eternal and minecraft with shaders

stoic island
#

180$ 3100...

#

It doesn't even come with an iGPU

rigid oracle
#

yeah amazon is very overpriced a lot of the time

#

oh

#

well

stoic island
#

MSRP is like 95$

rigid oracle
#

jeez why is there no computer parts selling for MSRP

#

like the athlon 3000g is 50 dollars MSRP but its currenly 100 dollars

stoic island
#

Probably time to look at maybe stretching your budget slightly for a 580$ 4650g build or go a bit backwards for 3400g or like 10400 build

rigid oracle
#

i can manage that, though the monitor is my only issue

stoic island
#

What'd be your total budget including monitor?

rigid oracle
#

600

stoic island
#

Hm

rigid oracle
#

i have a keyboard already

stoic island
#

1080p144 is basically not an option

#

Do you have a mouse and headphones?

stoic island
#

@rigid oracle check your local goodwill, I know sassy got a decent 1200p monitor for 20$ from goodwill

rigid oracle
#

jeez 20 dollars

stoic island
#

Either way I'll make some lists as options

rigid oracle
#

alright

stoic island
#

tbh 4650g build is prob not an option now if it's 600$ with monitor, sad

rigid oracle
#

hmm

#

this motherboard is cheap

#

intel chipset type monkaw

#

idk why but i dont really like intel

still roostBOT

i just associate them with old crappy computers

faint wharf
#

Hi Everyone

stoic island
#

600$ including monitor, before tax though.

#

Hello there

faint wharf
#

I am looking for advice on a memory purchase that I am looking to make.

rigid oracle
#

not bad

#

hope that i5 has a good igpu

stoic island
#

It has a UHD630

#

which is not bad

lyric thistle
#

That's interesting

stoic island
#

Except out of budget considering monitor price :(

lyric thistle
#

Tiny form factor in a bigger size case

rigid oracle
#

yeah

lyric thistle
#

Like it's inflatef

#

D

rigid oracle
#

but if i got a 20 dollar monitor

rigid oracle
#

then it would fit :)

faint wharf
#

I have a computer that will have the following:

stoic island
#

remember it'd be before tax

rigid oracle
#

oh

faint wharf
#

Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (16-Core) 4.9 GHz Turbo (BACKORDER ETA FEBRUARY)
Motherboard: MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE (Wi-Fi) (AMD X570 Chipset) (Up to 4x PCI-E Devices)

rigid oracle
#

yeah

faint wharf
#

I a looking for the best memory for that to get 128 GB. Any advice?

rigid oracle
#

do you think i should save a little longer for the 4650G build or go for the one you recommended with the i5

stoic island
#

@faint wharf Are you building it yourself or using a prebuilt service?

stoic island
#

@rigid oracle 4650g if possible

#

128gb is max on AM4, it makes sense.

rigid oracle
#

why would anyone want that much ram tho

faint wharf
#

Prebuilt service. I ordered the computer and paid for it last year.

stoic island
#

Ah, it's already incoming, fair.

rigid oracle
#

@stoic island

#

yiiiikes

stoic island
#

How much are you willing to spend for the ram? @faint wharf

#

Yea, tax sad

rigid oracle
#

pphnd

faint wharf
#

Well, I spent a LOT on the computer, so, I am really looking for high end, high performance, and reliability. The price is not as important.

rigid oracle
#

i might save for the 4650G though

#

or i might be able to cut the tax short and buy each individual part

#

might be a little cheaper

faint wharf
#

The company I purchased it through quoted me over $720.00 to upgrade it from 64GB to 128GB. I felt like that was too much for 3200 Mhz RAM

stoic island
#

Fair

little osprey
stoic island
#

Well, it's ~600$ total for 128gb of ram

rigid oracle
#

oh

faint wharf
#

yes, I am a software engineer, and I do a lot of compiling. Additionally, I plan to do a lot of rendering of images and video.

#

And, I typically run numerous applications simultaneously

rigid oracle
#

why doesnt pcpartpicker have the 4650g

stoic island
lyric thistle
#

4650G is a business cpu

little osprey
scenic turret
#

want an insane computer and actually use it
Go CompE or CompE Software

lyric thistle
#

Not meant for consumers, not meant to be sold on the open market

stoic island
#

(Higher frequency is good, lower Cas Latency is good)

#

4650g is only released for retailers in China I believe

faint wharf
#

$650.00 is not too much. Would you say that is the BEST? Or does Newegg offer Better?

rigid oracle
#

well is there an igpu i can get more easily that fits my budget?

scenic turret
#

Ballistics Max for 4000mhz 128gb? Can't remember if they made a 128gb kit

stoic island
#

Well, lemme check other kits, it's the best Price to Performance that I can see (650$)

#

@rigid oracle I'd just save up for the 4650g prebuilt

rigid oracle
#

ah alright

stoic island
#

4650g slaps the other iGPUs at the price range when it's an option

rigid oracle
#

might change the case because the prebuilts case looks like an optiplex haha

rigid oracle
#

this one has a ryzen 3 3200g

#

and its 500 dollars without tax

#

vega 8 graphics

rigid oracle
#

but i think ill stick with the 4650

stoic island
#

@little osprey They want 128gb on AM4, so they need 4x32gb

rigid oracle
#

how

little osprey
#

oh wait

#

my bad, didn't see they were 16gb

stoic island
ancient wraith
#

how could i test the stability of my cpu

stoic island
#

OCCT large dataset @ancient wraith

ancient wraith
#

wtf is that bruhh

stoic island
#

OCCT is a stress testing software

#

large dataset is an option

ancient wraith
#

should i get it

stoic island
#

It's free

ancient wraith
#

is there anything specific i have too do

stoic island
ancient wraith
#

could you tell me how too do it

#

i have it what now

stoic island
#

Set these settings here

#

One hour will be good

faint wharf
little osprey
ancient wraith
#

mine looks different

stoic island
#

@faint wharf Can you tell me what exact software you will use, so I can check if it'll make any difference?

ancient wraith
stoic island
#

Eh, I guess I need to update my OCCT

rigid oracle
#

@stoic island that prebuilt confuses me hm

faint wharf
rigid oracle
stoic island
#

This will do

#

One moment

ancient wraith
#

ok

#

i did it

rigid oracle
#

well this prebuilt is off the table, looks like a 3400g

stoic island
#

weird

rigid oracle
#

i mean is the 3400g as good though?

ancient wraith
#

its hot af broo

rigid oracle
#

3200g i mean

ancient wraith
#

67 c

stoic island
#

that's not hot

#

95c is hot

ancient wraith
#

do i actually have too wait a hour

stoic island
#

One hour makes it the most effective

ancient wraith
#

ok ill come back later

rigid oracle
#

i cant tell if that 4650g prebuilt actually has a 4650g apu

ancient wraith
#

can you help me with setting for the rest of my hardware because i need too make sure all is well

stoic island
#

What kind of settings..?

ancient wraith
#

like for the test

#

cant you test like ram and gpu

stoic island
# faint wharf I plan to use Visual Studio, Adobe Premier, Photoshop, VS Code, WebStorm, Blende...

Well, I can't actually find any good testing on it, Puget Systems (People who give good testing data on workstation machines and various components for various tasks) doesn't do any testing with the ram, and GN (People who review various components and makes good comparisons, mainly in games) doesn't do any memory testing for workstation tasks like VS, Premier, Photoshop, etc, the only thing I could scrape so far is this, which is on Intel and not AMD, and 3200c14 against 4000c14...

rigid oracle
#

that i5 doesnt look too bad

stoic island
#

@ancient wraith For stress testing GPU, the 3D test on OCCT is pretty good, for stress testing memory, the memory test on OCCT

#

lmao

#

@rigid oracle remember, they're using a 2080 to test those

rigid oracle
#

oh

#

right

ancient wraith
#

so can i stress my memory or no

vagrant olive
#

@muted patio @earnest olive thanks guys for helping me with my aio

stoic island
#

10400f doesn't have an iGPU, nor does 3600

vagrant olive
#

it was indeed a broken pump @wanton cliff is a psychic

rigid oracle
#

oh

stoic island
#

10400 has a UHD630

#

3400g has Vega 11

#

3200g has Vega 8

wanton cliff
#

Guessed it

#

Called it

stoic island
#

nice

vagrant olive
#

yes you did

wanton cliff
#

stoic island
ancient wraith
#

ik should i use it

#

or a different program

stoic island
#

It's good enough

#

Another one is TM5 with default profile

ancient wraith
#

ok

#

when i get too my gpu do i use default setting

stoic island
#

@rigid oracle Anyways, it's 4650g > 3400g > 10400

#

but 4650g out of budget

#

3400g pricing is wack (I saw 300$ for it, which is.... no)

lyric thistle
#

3200G is just a hair better than my 4790 on passmark

stoic island
ancient wraith
#

ok thnxx

vagrant olive
#

whats a good temp monitor program

#

bc i have been informed hwmonitor sucks

stoic island
#

hwinfo64

lyric thistle
#

HWMonitor doesn't suck

#

But it doesn't excel like HWiNFO

vagrant olive
#

i dont see any temp thing on hwinfo

#

wait

#

nvm

lyric thistle
#

Sensor

#

:)

vagrant olive
#

yeah ty

rigid oracle
stoic island
#

If you can get one at a reasonable price that is

rigid oracle
#

oh no

#

would 4 cores be good enough?

#

since it’s a quad core cpu

lyric thistle
#

Quad cores are nice

faint wharf
#

If you see memory that shows Intel XMP desktop memory, will it work with a motherboard that works with AMD?

rigid oracle
lyric thistle
#

All these things trying to attach a Vega number to the 4650G

rigid oracle
#

@stoic island that 650 dollar pc (with tax) that claims to come with a 4650g actually comes with a 3400g, would this be a good price for a prebuilt with said igpu

lyric thistle
#

Techpowerup? Vega 7. This amazon computer? Vega 11

#

What's next lol

rigid oracle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

it’s better than a walmart pc

potent portal
rigid oracle
#

any places i should look for prebuilts?

lyric thistle
#

My remarks there are irrelevant to quality of the computer but

#

I hope it's better than a walmart pc 😳

stoic island
#

@lyric thistle there is no name for 4650g iGPU, that's why it's just called 4650g on passmark

potent portal
rigid oracle
#

dell...

potent portal
#

Yes Dell. This is the world we are in. Before a few months ago I would never have considered recommending Dell or HP.

stoic island
#

Any dGPU from the past like 4 years will outperform current iGPUs

rigid oracle
#

man when i think of dell i think of big cheap plastic computers with terrible specs made in 2010

lyric thistle
#

Ah yes

#

GT 1010 gonna roast the 4650G igpu :)

potent portal
#

The mass-produced weak little workstation PCs are a thing of the past tbh. Dell owns Alienware now, to start.

rigid oracle
#

oh wow

little osprey
potent portal
#

I think that promo code is still active. 10400/1660ti $720

little osprey
#

thats a really good deal
considering that 1660 ti is still overpriced
cheapest 1660 ti on pcpp cost 769

stoic island
#

I mean

#

Look at testing

#

Bar 4650g/4750g nothing comes close to even like a GTX760

rigid oracle
#

god the HP website sucks

true lark
stoic island
#

@true lark what is it for

potent portal
stoic island
#

@potent portal look at the peripherals lmao

true lark
#

I just slelected all of the most expensive items

potent portal
#

Most expensive does not mean best

true lark
#

I know but i just wanted to know how it would preform

potent portal
#

For gaming the 5900X is vastly better than threadripper.

stoic island
#

Lol

#

Yea

#

And tbh

#

If you want most expensive

true lark
#

60k for headphones?

faint wharf
#

WOW!

true lark
#

Thats almost double the price of the pc

stoic island
#

Sennheiser being sennheiser ig

#

Audio gets really expensive
Keyboards get moderately expensive
Mice doesn't get too expensive
Monitors get fairly expensive

rigid oracle
true lark
#

On a scale of 1 to 10 how would the pc i made preform and how can it be better

stoic island
#

Perform in what

true lark
#

Gaming

stoic island
#

Quadro and threadripper would suck for gaming

little osprey
#

i think he is trolling

lyric thistle
#

Threadripper 1st gen derpyBlob

stoic island
lyric thistle
#

Thing

#

Nice

stoic island
#

Sli doesn't do well in games

rigid oracle
#

is this any good

stoic island
#

So sli is out of the picture

rigid oracle
#

it has a ryzen 3 3200g processor with integrated vega 8 graphics

#

8 gb of ram is eh but that can be upgraded later down the road

#

its on sale for 400 dollars too

stoic island
#

It just

#

Can be better

#

In every way

lyric thistle
#

It's almost okay

#

180w psu

lyric thistle
#

1 stick, two slots

rigid oracle
#

by the looks of it, it looks like its designed for work more than gaming

little osprey
#

one stick
2666mhz
psu not great either

lyric thistle
#

It's designed for low end

#

Can't do high end work on that

rigid oracle
#

hm

#

well what about the pavilion

#

gaming desktop

true lark
#

Well see you guys in like a month when I ask something else

little osprey
#

well yeah
but he is better off building one himself...if there is a decently priced 3200g

lyric thistle
#

I wonder if a 4790 + H81 combo is cheaper than 3200g and a320

#

Or a520 or something

potent portal
#

Old gen hardware tends to be bad price/performance compared to newer stuff

little osprey
#

depends

rigid oracle
#

gaming laptops are a joke i assume

lyric thistle
#

Nearly the same performance, 4790 3200g

#

Except for igpu

little osprey
#

lga 2011 offers great price and great range of CPUs

bitcoin miners kekw

potent portal
#

Nah it's not the miners. They're not helping, but they're far from the main problem.

rigid oracle

also things gonna get worse for those living in europe

#

one of the main trade routes just got blocked

little osprey

idk im not a bitcoin miner

little osprey

#

You could mine on a laptop tbh, but not really worth the buy in cost and they lack expandability

rigid oracle

on ebay tho

winged lion
#

Just need to make sure

#

I don’t want to over spend on anything

Idk tier

little osprey
#

just donno about psu

desert gulch

Lemme find it

rigid oracle

nvm

potent portal
#

Aresgame isn't tiered, probably a rebrand

little osprey
desert gulch
#

Oh yeah

little osprey
desert gulch
#

I'd grab a segotep 600

desert gulch
#

B tier and great price

rigid oracle
#

its a walmart pc 😳

desert gulch
#

I'd go cheaper mobo aswell

#

Hdv is like 75 bucks I think

little osprey
#

it looks so bad lol

#

its like eww xd

desert gulch
#

Bruh

#

This is on a budget

#

I'm telling ways they can cut costs

rigid oracle
#

damn bro ive gone so far down the pc shopping rabbit hole that i ended up on walmart

desert gulch
#

Or if they want to keep asthetics of their mobo rn then go for it

little osprey
#

of course it probably works but it really looks bad

winged lion
#

Walmart getting pc parts is new if I’m correct

desert gulch
#

I'm just suggesting ways it can be cheaper

rigid oracle
#

this is ok

potent portal
#

Could probably do a cheaper air cooler too, save another $10

desert gulch
#

Mhmm

#

Gammax 400

#

I think vetroo v5 was on sale recently aswell

#

I think it was 25

winged lion
rigid oracle
#

yep it has a decent apu

desert gulch
#

Trash price

rigid oracle
#

lol

lyric thistle
#

Huge case

desert gulch
#

There was a 1660ti and 10400 prebuilt for 720 earlier

lyric thistle
#

And there's nothing inside it

desert gulch
#

So over 600 for a 3200g build is trash

rigid oracle
#

also sorry if im asking a lot of questions and posting lots of links, i just want to make sure what im buying is worth it thats all

potent portal
winged lion
#

No I was talking about the rgb

lyric thistle
#

You look in there and there's a poor 3200G cowering in the corner covered in rgb blood

winged lion
#

The case doesn’t look good with performance tho

desert gulch
#

Bruh

#

Its a 3200g

#

It doesn't need that much airflow

rigid oracle
#

lol

winged lion
#

But it doesn’t have much anyway

desert gulch
#

3200g makes not much heat

potent portal
#

Fair enough, personal pet peeve of mine lol

little osprey
#

vetroo v5 is for 23$

potent portal
#

I guess it's ok for no GPU

lyric thistle
#

Not for 600 bucks tho

potent portal
#

Oh but wait

#

That goes for just about ANY components. Once a big name starts talking about it and links it, gone.

little osprey

oh wait
thats a sff
oof

potent portal
rigid oracle
#

"gaming" optiplex with a GT 1030, a quad core i5 and 8gb of ram? prolly can run things from the late 2000s but it doesnt sound too great for more modern stuff

little osprey
#

mostly likely a sff
someone brought it for 100 bucks and added in a 1050 ti

lyric thistle
#

It has PCIe card

#

Laptops don't have PCIe slots like that lol

#

It might have mobile parts ofc

potent portal
#

I misspoke, I meant "non-upgradeable board using proprietary form factors"

little osprey
#

even whiout knowning the price

rigid oracle
#

im not too keen on the 256 gb ssd because 256 gb is barely enough for my computer right now lol

#

but with my budget i think i dont have much of a choice

potent portal
#

$40 will get a few TB of HDD storage

little osprey
#

can't you build one for youself? and look for out for a used gpu

rigid oracle
#

i could but i’m not good at putting together lists

little osprey
#

for 500$ you can build a decent used computer btw

rigid oracle
#

well i told my dad about used parts and he’s not too keen on using used parts

little osprey
#

ah

rigid oracle
#

also ebay..

little osprey
#

i see.

lyric thistle
#

Your dad is jaded by old eBay :)

#

There's still trash on eBay but there's good stuff, and good buyer protection

rigid oracle
#

idk he tells me it’s not very secure on ebay but eh

#

he used to build computers too

nvm, even if you built one by youself wouldn't be cheap either

#

3200g going for 200 buckos

#

Once you know what to look for Ebay is pretty safe

rigid oracle
#

yeah tech is overpriced as heck right now

potent portal
#

If you're ever worried put a link on this server and we'll tell you if it's good or not

rigid oracle
#

hm yeah

#

gpu are mostly overpriced rn
and APUs with vega

plush cape
#

Umm guys I tried to add another 16 gb of ram, now my pc only starts in safe mode

#

And It says post attempt failure

rigid oracle
#

start it in dangerous mode

plush cape
#

..

rigid oracle
#

have you tried turning it off and on again

#

alright i’ll stop since i’m clearly not helping

plush cape
#

Rams are not detected either

rigid oracle
#

your ram is in the right way?

plush cape
#

Yeah

rigid oracle
#

and it’s firmly in place?

plush cape
#

Checked it a few times

rigid oracle
#

hmm

#

where’d you buy it

plush cape
#

Newegg

rigid oracle
#

and your motherboard supports it right

plush cape
#

All my rams are same brand same speed and everything

earnest olive
#

did you try clearing cmos after installing more ram

rigid oracle
#

i downloaded a gaming pc and didn’t find that /s

plush cape
#

Let me double check

rigid oracle
#

joke

fossil cedar
#

ahh

#

thought i was trippin

#

just download more ram XD

earnest olive
#

you wouldn't download a car

rigid oracle
#

download a different brand of ram 😎

spacerat was sponsored this whole time

#

this rat is sponsored by free cars11!

plush cape
#

Yeah it should support it

#

It supports 128 g

rigid oracle
#

is this one stick of ram or two

#

because if it’s two just try one alone

plush cape
#

I have 32 rn

#

So 4*8

rigid oracle
#

hm

#

maybe you need drivers for your ram kekw

#

idk man all i can suggest is just re-arranging the ram sticks, dusting them off, mixing and matching other ram sticks until something happens

#

and then you should probably get a refund for it

rigid oracle
#

i assume your power supply is providing enough energy

plush cape
potent portal
#

Mixed brands of RAM? Or the same for all 4 sticks?

plush cape
#

And yes

#

All same brands

#

Same speed

earnest olive
#

even mixed brands should work at jedec at the very least

potent portal
#

Same timings?

earnest olive
#

I had a customer come in asking me to overclock his 7700K

#

he had 3x8gb all different brands

plush cape
#

Yeah everything is the same

earnest olive
#

one was 2400 one was 2133 one was 3000

#

they still worked at jedec

rigid oracle
#

wait have you made sure your ram slots aren’t dead

potent portal
#

Clear CMOS for sure to start, like snail said

rigid oracle
#

i’ve never messed with ram before but i’m just thinking of how you could solve this issue

plush cape
#

Will it prevent me from Turing on the pc if the slots are dead?

rigid oracle
#

well if some slots are dead then no

#

but if all are

#

then yeah

#

because where’s it gonna get memory from

#

or mayb your ram slots are dusty

#

idk man

little osprey
#

have you cleared the cmos yet? if it didn't work
there is a chance that the ram is dead or the slots are dead

plush cape
#

Lol I don’t know how I’m searching for that

potent portal
#

Changing any hardware it's good practice to clear CMOS
What motherboard is it?

#

Ah, Z490-p

rigid oracle
#

do you have any ram sticks you aren’t using redd? if so try replacing the new ones with those to see if they are readable, if so then it’s likely not a problem with the ram slots

plush cape
rigid oracle
#

hm

plush cape
#

I’ll try clearing the cmos first

#

Don’t really know how lol

rigid oracle
#

pretty sure there’s a tool that checks if some components of a motherboard works but i’m not sure

potent portal
#

You have a clear cmos header above your front panel connectors, #12 in diagram

#

Unplug computer, touch those pins with something metal like a screwdriver and hold power button for a few minutes

#

It may take a few tries sometimes

rigid oracle
#

do you like my pc setup

earnest olive
#

first build: carefully clearing cmos with screwdriver while quivering in fear

#

30th build: ehh whatever clears cmos with a kitchen knife

rigid oracle
#

i clear mine by throwing it against a wall

potent portal
#

Well the battery would probably pop out so that technically could work

plush cape
potent portal
#

That's inaccurate

plush cape
#

Ok

potent portal
#

You could wire that to your cmos header but its intended function is to simply reset the power

plush cape
#

Ugh Okok

#

Damn I can’t find it

#

This is a prebuilt pc

potent portal
#

No header? No problem. There should be a battery between the PCI slots. Remove that instead and wait 10 minutes.

#

With it unplugged still of course

ancient wraith
#

i need help real quick

#

for some reason my main monitor is blurry

little osprey
#

maybe low res?

ancient wraith
#

its says its 1080p

potent portal
#

Once you put the battery back in, yes. See if the memory is detected in BIOS now.

plush cape
#

Oh ok

#

It still says this

potent portal
#

F1, that's normal after clearing CMOS

plush cape
#

Oh no it’s not detected

potent portal
#

Ok, try using just the new memory and see if that shows up.

plush cape
#

Idk why my computer wouldn’t even boot up

potent portal
#

It won't even boot with the new memory, without the old set installed?

plush cape
#

Oh no

#

I didn’t check that yet

#

Are there anything u need to do in bios after u adding ram to the pc?

potent portal
#

In theory, no. In practice... mixing kits of RAM doesn't always work well, even if it's 2 of the exact same kit of ram.

plush cape
#

Maybe the ram slots are dead

potent portal
#

You can test for that easily by putting the known working RAM into the other slots that were empty before. It won't run dual channel like that but it should still boot.

plush cape
#

The system just booted up fine

potent portal
#

Doing what? Moving the sticks or using just the new ones?

plush cape
#

I assume it’s not working since the rgb isn’t on?

#

I used the new one plugged them into the old slots

#

And it worked ok

little osprey
#

uh oh

#

dead slots maybe?

potent portal
#

Possibly dusty slots or bad slots, RGB off is no bueno

#

Try the old RAM in the first and third slots as a test

plush cape
#

Could it be no wire plugged in?

#

Ok

potent portal
#

RAM doesn't use wires, even for RGB

ripe wedge
#

you didnt plug in wires for the other ones so how would that make sense

#

lol

potent portal
#

It was prebuilt so he wouldn't know I guess

cold sorrel
#

I have to keep reminding myself I can't have RGB RAM when I finally do get to build my desktop.

potent portal
#

Why not?

fossil cedar
#

Lol well if you're on a budget i guess but yeah why not?

cold sorrel
#

Because I know what ones I want and I can't justify the cost. Sure are pretty though.

static ravine
#

I got trident z rgb for 76 a few months back

potent portal
#

I think I know which ones you mean lol

fossil cedar
#

Fair, my pc is on floor so idc what it looks like tbh

static ravine
#

same stuff is like 110 now

cold sorrel
#

Especially since I'm going to have to dump a stupid amount of money to get a GPU.

potent portal
#

I grabbed a set of fairly decent RGB memory for $120

static ravine
potent portal
#

I took that and I'm running it at 3800c14 so it's synced with fclk

cold sorrel
#

Maybe tomorrow's shuffle will have some 3060s and I win finally.

How did you get it working?

plush cape

Ok it’s really dumb but I feel like it wasn’t fully in because I took all of them out and then try installing them again.now it works

fossil cedar
#

Probs didn't click in on 1 side

frigid cobalt
#

either not fully seated or dirty contacts

plush cape
#

Yeah maybe

#

I used a duster to clean the slots

fleet pagoda
#

What does disabling secure boot in bios do

plush cape
#

Thank y’all for helps

fossil cedar
#

An air duster i hope

potent portal
#

Pretty common honestly, that was going to be my next question if the slots turned out to be ok

fossil cedar
#

A duster sounds like a static nightmare xd

plush cape
#

This is what I own

#

Lol

frigid cobalt
#

Better than canned air and a brush

potent portal
#

Long term investment, not bad. I go through about $5 of air a month though, so not a big deal for me.

Ahhh

desert gulch
#

I have one and it works epic

potent portal
#

Eh. It only costs me around $60 a year for air. Not a big issue.

desert gulch
#

Ig but over time air compressor is more pog

#

So how do you fill car tires and stuff?

desert gulch
#

Do you go down to gas station and use their pump?

potent portal
#

Yes. They have to offer that for free in California.

desert gulch
#

So meh

desert gulch
#

So I use air compressor for it, and making "bombs" lol

potent portal
#

Plastic bottles + compressor?

desert gulch
#

Just a two liter with some water

#

Yeah

#

Then air

#

Then you can throw it and it blows up

#

If you hit stuff with it

#

Ive blown up one in my face so far

#

But I've made like 20

#

So not a bad deal

Hey y’all. I’m going through the back end of an install of Mobo. I’m getting VGA error and storage error. My SATA cables are showing that I put them in the right spot so I moved them and I’m still getting error. Does SATA slots matter for order? Obviously if a drive has 2 they should be paired right?

#

Also, my VGA is not working. And I’ve got it plugged in and everything like normal. Still error via Mobo

potent portal
#

Wait... what drive has 2 sata cables?
The order only matters if you have any M.2 drives

dawn cosmos
#

SATA is storage right? I’ve got 3 cables and two of them go to the same source. Unless they cords were just paired to make it look prettier.

little osprey
#

you mean

#

the power cable and sata cable?

dawn cosmos
#

I think I had to get the software drive in.

muted patio
#

A pciture in this case would be worth 1000 words

I’ll msg again if I’m getting errors on set up

#

can anyone help my pc will kinda start to freeze after hours of use each day

#

like 5 or 6 hours

#

pls @ me or dm if you think you can help thank you

frank stirrup
#

@drifting fox

desert gulch
#

im guessing thermals

frank stirrup
#

thermals wouldnt affect 6 hrs in game

desert gulch
#

they didnt say 6 hours of gaming

#

6 hours of use

frank stirrup
#

Ah yes

desert gulch
#

so thermals are still def in range of causing it imo

#

so nebby does it freeze during games or right after games?

frank stirrup
#

Even if no gaming is done it would still hit thermal equilibrium earlier tho

desert gulch
#

nah

#

just browsing web wont overheat most gpu

drifting fox
#

Ryzen 5 3600
X570 gigabyte pro
Corsair vengeance pro 3200 4 8gb
Msi mag aio cooler
1650 4gb asus tuf oc

muted patio
#

The coolers themselves will equalize quickly but if the case has poor airflow, that will take long to heat up

frank stirrup
#

not cooling then

desert gulch
#

could be

desert gulch
drifting fox
#

Gameing or streaming stuff on discord like ill be disconnected on their end but ill still be hearing them and then each app starts freezing

desert gulch
#

hmmm

#

are gpu drivers updated?

muted patio
#

4x8 GB for 32 GB total?

#

Or just 8 GB?

drifting fox
#

Chipset  updated
Drivers updated
Windows updated
Bios updated

#

4 x 8gb 32 gb

desert gulch
#

what are temps lookin like on gpu?

drifting fox
#

30 or 40

desert gulch
#

oh yeah then thats all good

drifting fox
little osprey
#

i had that issue before

#

but well, it just fixed itself on next day

drifting fox
#

Well its been almost daily now

desert gulch
#

youve tried a restart on pc?

drifting fox
desert gulch
#

yeah like shut down pc

#

then turn it back on

drifting fox
#

Yes i have

desert gulch
#

ok

#

im leaning towards a windows issue aswell

drifting fox
#

How would I fix then? Thank you all

desert gulch
#

ummm @muted patio got any suggestions?

drifting fox
#

Should I reinstall and would that mess up my key activation

jaunty nacelle
#

reinstalling doesnt mess up key activation iirc

desert gulch
#

id wait and see if vintage has any other ideas

drifting fox
#

Ok thank you all again

desert gulch
#

Ye np

drifting fox
#

Like ive done everything i can besides repair or reinstalling windows

desert gulch
#

Mhmm

frank stirrup
#

smells like windows scheduler being bad

drifting fox
#

Oh how so

frank stirrup
#

its prioritising wierd processes above the apps you r running

desert gulch
#

Hmm

#

What's the fix?

#

Clean install?

frank stirrup
#

a restart fixes it

desert gulch
#

They've tried a restart

drifting fox
#

Ive restarted

frank stirrup
#

like temporarily

desert gulch
#

It still happens daily

frank stirrup
#

ok so lets try a few things

desert gulch
#

Ok

#

Everything is updated btw

frank stirrup
#

Chipset drivers as well as the power plan for ryzen?

drifting fox
#

Power plan?

frank stirrup
#

download that and install

desert gulch
#

Chipset done I believe

drifting fox
#

Chipset is done

frank stirrup
#

ok if you have the chipset drivers then open control panel

drifting fox
#

Ok

frank stirrup
#

in controll panel search up power options

drifting fox
#

Ok

#

Power found

frank stirrup
#

choose ryzen high performance plan

drifting fox
#

Ok done

frank stirrup
#

ok so now in the windows type here to search, type in appearance and performance

drifting fox
#

Ok

frank stirrup
#

done?

drifting fox
#

Yuh typed in

frank stirrup
#

so choose the top option

#

u shud be seeing that

drifting fox
#

Yes

frank stirrup
#

open the advannced tab

drifting fox
#

Done

frank stirrup
#

now press change and send me a screenshot

drifting fox
frank stirrup
#

uncheck automatically manage paging file size for all drives

drifting fox
#

Ok done

frank stirrup
#

and set the c drive to custom size

drifting fox
#

Ok

frank stirrup
#

initial size 10000mb

#

max sixe 15000mb

#

click ok

drifting fox
#

Ok

frank stirrup
#

and then on the previous window that you were on, change the adjust of best performance of to background tasks

drifting fox
frank stirrup
#

and after you do all this restart pc

frank stirrup
drifting fox
#

ah ok done

frank stirrup
#

yeah restart pc

#

it should be good now

drifting fox
#

do i change the pic i set last

frank stirrup
#

nah doesnt reallly matter for you.

#

its down to personal prefference

drifting fox
#

ok ok but should i do anything else?

frank stirrup
#

nope just restart pc once

drifting fox
#

can i ask what does this do for my pc?

frank stirrup
#

It basically tells the windows scheduler how to use certain resources like your page file and cpu so as to not interfere with the program thats running in the foreground

drifting fox
#

should this fix the daily freezing like ive been having and its not a window install problem

frank stirrup
#

it should fix it

#

you can always ask here again if it continues happening.

drifting fox
#

Thanks im sure it'll be fine but i hope its nothing else

#

But as a extra measure anything else you can think of

#

@frank stirrup

frank stirrup
#

Yeah if it continues happening you need to monitor task manager to see which process spikes when these slowdowns happen and uninstall it

#

Or reset ur pc

drifting fox
frank stirrup
#

Any program that spikes in cpu usage

drifting fox
#

Ok thanks for the help

frank stirrup
#

I'm looking for a new computer below $400. I'm not really a "techie", so I don't want to build one myself. Can anyone help me?

frank stirrup
wise plaza
#

I plan on simple things: about five hours of Zoom a week, the occasional streaming service episode streaming, LibreOffice text editing, GIMP, Sculptris/Blender, and some late 2010s era retro-graphics games (e.g., Undertale).

#

It doesn't need to be especially powerful. I'm looking for reliability (lasts for at least five years), ease of use, or at least reconfiguration into something that's easy to use within about four hours, fairly good security, compatability with my other hardware (especially my monitor, if it's a desktop), and, most importantly....it has to look old-fashioned.

muted patio
#

Honestly, go find a second hand Dell OPtiplex at that price point

#

Getting something new in the current market for $400 is nigh near impossible

frank stirrup
rich helm
frank stirrup
#

you could use like 3rd or 4th gen intel

rich helm
#

Still kinda hard for that much

frank stirrup
#

but no point tbh

#

optiplex better

muted patio
#

Seriously, second hand Optiplex fits the bill perfect. Still good performance for what they want and it looks old school lol

wise plaza
#

Would the Dell Otiplex be compatible with a HP w1907 external monitor, a Wacom tablet, and a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex drive?

muted patio
#

Yes, they have USB ports and can run Windows 10

wise plaza
#

What would the keyboard for that cost? I don't have any external keyboards lying around.

#

The Wacom tablet is a "One by Wacom".

lyric thistle
#

Might need a USB card if you want USB 3.0

rich helm
muted patio
#

$10 on Amazon for a matching KB

lyric thistle
#

Tablet should be fine on 2.0 ofc

rich helm
frank stirrup
wise plaza
#

It's technically a "Wacom pad" not a "tablet", I think.

rich helm
#

Ehh it’s mostly a tablet

#

I have one as well

#

Try to set mine up again and the dumb thing won’t display Bruh the thing is so finicky

wise plaza
#

The Dell Otiplex, or the Wacom by One?

#

The monitor has one of those old-fashioned plug-cords, not a USB. It even has little screws. Will that be a problem for the Dell Otiplex?

#

Is there a quick way to filter the results for HDMI ports? I'm having trouble researching it.

Never mind. The titles are apparently eager to announce when they have them.

#

Yes. HDMI is on both.

Last time can you build a apu system for less then 250 on amazon

desert gulch
#

I wouldnt

#

At that price range I'd go console

little osprey
#

Ryan

desert gulch
#

Altho you can build a pc for sub 100 bucks, as ltt has showed, I wouldn't

lyric thistle
#

Lol

little osprey
#

Let me explain

lyric thistle
#

No operating system tho

desert gulch
#

Ye

#

There is a contest between 10+ dumb people on making the best pc for 250 on amazon

desert gulch
#

2 dollar windows key

#

Ok

#

Ummm

#

I'd see if there's any optiplex being sold

#

On amazon

#

Like used ones

little osprey
#

No pre built

#

Btw

desert gulch
#

Oof

#

Umm

#

That's gonna be mega tight

little osprey
#

Apu system is the only option I mean if you can get your hands on a 8800gt idk

desert gulch
#

Maybe

#

D tier psu time

little osprey
#

Worst

#

Of the worst

desert gulch
#

Nah e tier worse

little osprey
#

Max that apu performance

desert gulch

But I'd go d tier so it'd boot at least

little osprey
#

This is currently what I have

I know it's bad but this is a start

desert gulch
#

Ok

little osprey
desert gulch
