cant u contact the company?
DM NeweggService if necessary
the manufacturer or newegg
yeah i got it
alr man good luck
i just have to print the label and send it back thanks guys
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
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.
Can somebody link me a build list for this: 165fps, low-med settings, fortnite and valorant, 1440p, budget 1200usd
Better be willing to hunt for gpus but there's nothing you can just straight buy atm btw
@fossil cedar Ok can you link me a list with any GPU and ill try and find it
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
Yea thats fine^
kk thanks
Shure gimma 2 mins
Just don't drop it lol
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.
well they said low -medium i think
Oh yeah I see that now
3060ti should be fine
What do you think about low-med @potent portal
Medium settings the 3080 does 160-170 fps
But the budget is 1200USD lol
damm really i thought fortnite was supposed to be light enoungh
That's what I'm trying to say, budget doesn't fit what you need it to do
RTX 3080 Asus TUF Gaming tested in Fortnite chapter 2 season 4 in all settings with ray tracing and dlss... Ryzen 3600 is overclocked to 4400-4500mhz and ram to 3733 mhz to maximize performance.. This card is intended for 1440p and 4k gaming.. for lower resolutions this card needs much faster cpu like i9 or ryzen 9.
I will also tested it with up...
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jcfnht i mean this is probs closest to what youre gonna get
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
yeah but thats basically 1150
probs closest youre gonna get for that budget @little osprey
Does the case or psu come with sata data cables or no?
Motherboard usually comes with 2 sata cables
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
yeah ^
Oh I know but I want to make sure I have everything since the case and last parts will be here Monday
I’ve been 2 weeks without a pc and it feels like I’m in hell
its not that bad
its been 6 months and 5 days since i last used a pc
play mobile games
oof
I’m not talking about games lol, my computer was what I used for work, streaming and classes
And then it went POOF
Literally
oh entry level gaming pc
we poggin today bois
Yea no
was 100% broken pump last night
something that can run doom eternal and minecraft with shaders
MSRP is like 95$
jeez why is there no computer parts selling for MSRP
like the athlon 3000g is 50 dollars MSRP but its currenly 100 dollars
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
i can manage that, though the monitor is my only issue
What'd be your total budget including monitor?
600
Hm
i have a keyboard already
@rigid oracle check your local goodwill, I know sassy got a decent 1200p monitor for 20$ from goodwill
jeez 20 dollars
1600 x 900
not bad
Either way I'll make some lists as options
alright
tbh 4650g build is prob not an option now if it's 600$ with monitor, sad
hmm
this motherboard is cheap
intel chipset type monkaw
idk why but i dont really like intel
Reason: Bad word usage
Hi Everyone
@rigid oracle Try this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jTpzdD
600$ including monitor, before tax though.
Hello there
I am looking for advice on a memory purchase that I am looking to make.
That's interesting
Except out of budget considering monitor price :(
Tiny form factor in a bigger size case
yeah
but if i got a 20 dollar monitor
oh well
then it would fit :)
I have a computer that will have the following:
remember it'd be before tax
oh
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)
yeah
I a looking for the best memory for that to get 128 GB. Any advice?
do you think i should save a little longer for the 4650G build or go for the one you recommended with the i5
@faint wharf Are you building it yourself or using a prebuilt service?
128 gb of ram?
why would anyone want that much ram tho
Prebuilt service. I ordered the computer and paid for it last year.
Ah, it's already incoming, fair.
pphnd
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.
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
The company I purchased it through quoted me over $720.00 to upgrade it from 64GB to 128GB. I felt like that was too much for 3200 Mhz RAM
Fair
ram intesive task/server
Well, it's ~600$ total for 128gb of ram
oh
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
why doesnt pcpartpicker have the 4650g
@faint wharf Alright, here's the first choice, 650$ 4x32gb 3200mhz cl16
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0893162CJ
If that costs too much, this is one step down, 590$ 4x32gb 2666mhz cl18
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-128gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232986
4650G is a business cpu
4650g is OEM only
only way to get it is by ebay or aliexpress
want an insane computer and actually use it
Go CompE or CompE Software
Not meant for consumers, not meant to be sold on the open market
(Higher frequency is good, lower Cas Latency is good)
4650g is only released for retailers in China I believe
$650.00 is not too much. Would you say that is the BEST? Or does Newegg offer Better?
well is there an igpu i can get more easily that fits my budget?
Ballistics Max for 4000mhz 128gb? Can't remember if they made a 128gb kit
Well, lemme check other kits, it's the best Price to Performance that I can see (650$)
@rigid oracle I'd just save up for the 4650g prebuilt
ah alright
4650g slaps the other iGPUs at the price range when it's an option
might change the case because the prebuilts case looks like an optiplex haha
Thank You
but i think ill stick with the 4650
@rigid oracle Just look at this comparison
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/Radeon-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650G-vs-Radeon-Vega-11-vs-Radeon-Vega-8-vs-Intel-UHD-630/4353vs4136vs3895vs3826
@little osprey They want 128gb on AM4, so they need 4x32gb
wait an igpu did better than a gpu
how
@faint wharf This would be the next step up in terms of performance, but I would NOT spend 200$ extra for a fairly negligible performance gain. What exact kind of workloads are you looking at? I could find you some benchmarks on seeing if this would even mean any improvements.
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-128gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374062
how could i test the stability of my cpu
OCCT large dataset @ancient wraith
wtf is that bruhh
should i get it
It's free
is there anything specific i have too do
Ocbase is the home of OCCT, the most popular all-in-one stability / stress testing / monitoring tool available for PC
I know that it is probably not a huge difference. I am just wanting to ensure that the RAM is the best so that the rest of the computer can perform at its best. I have a 5950x and a RTX 3090 watercooled, and after spending that much money, I felt like I should just go all the way.
depends on the igpu
but the vegas used on the G series apus are really powerful, beating some of the low end gpus.
mine looks different
@faint wharf Can you tell me what exact software you will use, so I can check if it'll make any difference?
Eh, I guess I need to update my OCCT
@stoic island that prebuilt confuses me hm
I plan to use Visual Studio, Adobe Premier, Photoshop, VS Code, WebStorm, Blender, an possibly some others. Davinci as well
weird
i mean is the 3400g as good though?
its hot af broo
3200g i mean
67 c
do i actually have too wait a hour
One hour makes it the most effective
ok ill come back later
i cant tell if that 4650g prebuilt actually has a 4650g apu
can you help me with setting for the rest of my hardware because i need too make sure all is well
What kind of settings..?
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...

@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
so can i stress my memory or no
@muted patio @earnest olive thanks guys for helping me with my aio
10400f doesn't have an iGPU, nor does 3600
it was indeed a broken pump @wanton cliff is a psychic
oh
nice
yes you did
✊
@ancient wraith There's a memory test in OCCT
It's good enough
Another one is TM5 with default profile
@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)
3200G is just a hair better than my 4790 on passmark
Yes, default settings for the rest of em will work
ok thnxx
Thank You. I will look this over. Much Appreciated!😀
:)
Here is the video that screenshot is take from, with timestamp: @faint wharf
https://youtu.be/vbHyF50m-rs?t=655
We overclocked the Intel i5-10600K Cache Ratio, the core, and the RAM in under an hour in order to match i9-10900K results from our review. This benchmark looks at whether RAM matters for Intel.
Sponsor: MSI Z490I Unify Mini-ITX (Amazon https://geni.us/j7G9A)
Watch our Intel i5-10600K review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQVBlCfb72M
In...
So my assumption for now is that it makes little difference.
hwinfo64
yeah ty
well i might go for the 3400g because i’ve heard really great things about it and it seems easier to get than that 4650g
If you can get one at a reasonable price that is
Quad cores are nice
If you see memory that shows Intel XMP desktop memory, will it work with a motherboard that works with AMD?
All these things trying to attach a Vega number to the 4650G
@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
Yes, Intel/AMD memory is purely for marketing and has no effect on performance on either platform
any places i should look for prebuilts?
My remarks there are irrelevant to quality of the computer but
I hope it's better than a walmart pc 😳
@lyric thistle there is no name for 4650g iGPU, that's why it's just called 4650g on passmark
Dell has some good deals, stuffs on clearance like $700 for a 10400f/1660S/16gb computer
dell...
Mhm
Yes Dell. This is the world we are in. Before a few months ago I would never have considered recommending Dell or HP.
Any dGPU from the past like 4 years will outperform current iGPUs
man when i think of dell i think of big cheap plastic computers with terrible specs made in 2010
not entirely
The mass-produced weak little workstation PCs are a thing of the past tbh. Dell owns Alienware now, to start.
oh wow
depends on the gpu
gtx 1050 and above will surely outpeform then
but igpus below that will barely or not even outpeform
thats a really good deal
considering that 1660 ti is still overpriced
cheapest 1660 ti on pcpp cost 769
god the HP website sucks
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rsfnht what do y'all think
Even GT1030 slightly outperforms 4650g actually, and the rest get slapped
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-760-vs-GeForce-GT-1030-vs-Intel-UHD-630-vs-Radeon-Vega-11-vs-Radeon-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650G/2561vs3757vs3826vs4136vs4353
@true lark what is it for
Why threadripper? Workstation/editing rig?
@potent portal look at the peripherals lmao
I just slelected all of the most expensive items
Most expensive does not mean best
I know but i just wanted to know how it would preform
For gaming the 5900X is vastly better than threadripper.
Lol
Yea
And tbh
If you want most expensive
You gotta have this
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/sennheiser-he-1
60k for headphones?
WOW!
Thats almost double the price of the pc
Sennheiser being sennheiser ig
Audio gets really expensive
Keyboards get moderately expensive
Mice doesn't get too expensive
Monitors get fairly expensive
🤨
On a scale of 1 to 10 how would the pc i made preform and how can it be better
Perform in what
Gaming
Quadro and threadripper would suck for gaming
i think he is trolling
Threadripper 1st gen 
I made this a while ago, this would basically be the best gaming machine you can make atm

Sli doesn't do well in games
Save with Free Shipping when you shop online with HP. Find all product features, specs, accessories, reviews and offers for HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-0145m (3UQ91AA#ABA).
is this any good
So sli is out of the picture
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
bad.
1 stick, two slots
by the looks of it, it looks like its designed for work more than gaming
one stick
2666mhz
psu not great either
Well see you guys in like a month when I ask something else
well yeah
but he is better off building one himself...if there is a decently priced 3200g
I wonder if a 4790 + H81 combo is cheaper than 3200g and a320
Or a520 or something
Old gen hardware tends to be bad price/performance compared to newer stuff
depends
gaming laptops are a joke i assume
lga 2011 offers great price and great range of CPUs
Usually, but there's good ones out there considering how hard it is to find anything
bitcoin miners kekw
Nah it's not the miners. They're not helping, but they're far from the main problem.
o
also things gonna get worse for those living in europe
one of the main trade routes just got blocked
if it has a gpu then well, i guess?
idk im not a bitcoin miner
mining on a laptop is really bad though
500 dollars
You could mine on a laptop tbh, but not really worth the buy in cost and they lack expandability
on ebay tho
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F7PQvf ignore gpu - budget was 700-800. Is this good?
Just need to make sure
I don’t want to over spend on anything
looks pretty good
is this any good tho
just donno about psu
Lemme find it
Aresgame isn't tiered, probably a rebrand
there is no tier for it
Oh yeah
ofc anything good is out of stock lol
I'd grab a segotep 600
it is alright at best.
B tier and great price
its a walmart pc 😳
damn bro ive gone so far down the pc shopping rabbit hole that i ended up on walmart
Or if they want to keep asthetics of their mobo rn then go for it
i mean...the mobo is made to be cheap, you can't ask for much
of course it probably works but it really looks bad
Walmart getting pc parts is new if I’m correct
I'm just suggesting ways it can be cheaper
this is ok
Could probably do a cheaper air cooler too, save another $10
Mhmm
Gammax 400
I think vetroo v5 was on sale recently aswell
I think it was 25
Ngl it seems like a lot of budget went into the case for this
yep it has a decent apu
Trash price
lol
Huge case
There was a 1660ti and 10400 prebuilt for 720 earlier
And there's nothing inside it
So over 600 for a 3200g build is trash
also sorry if im asking a lot of questions and posting lots of links, i just want to make sure what im buying is worth it thats all
That's what they want you to think, looks like simple cuts for the front panel and no airflow
No I was talking about the rgb
You look in there and there's a poor 3200G cowering in the corner covered in rgb blood
The case doesn’t look good with performance tho
lol
But it doesn’t have much anyway
3200g makes not much heat
Fair enough, personal pet peeve of mine lol
vetroo v5 is for 23$
I guess it's ok for no GPU
Not for 600 bucks tho
Oh but wait

sold out pepehands
what do you mean? you mean you arent supposed to shove your computer parts in milk crates? 👀

You completely can use a milk crate, you won't get better airflow unless you do open bench lol
You could put a 3770 in that
i saw someone who had their pc parts hung on the ceiling by a string
1050 ti worth like 90% off that price atm XD
lol, could swap that i5 with lga 2011(if you going cheap)/am4 or lga 1200
That goes for just about ANY components. Once a big name starts talking about it and links it, gone.
oh wait
thats a sff
oof
Yep, probably a laptop board too from the looks of it
"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
mostly likely a sff
someone brought it for 100 bucks and added in a 1050 ti
It has PCIe card
Laptops don't have PCIe slots like that lol
It might have mobile parts ofc
thats not a great deal.
I misspoke, I meant "non-upgradeable board using proprietary form factors"
even whiout knowning the price
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
$40 will get a few TB of HDD storage
can't you build one for youself? and look for out for a used gpu
i could but i’m not good at putting together lists
for 500$ you can build a decent used computer btw
well i told my dad about used parts and he’s not too keen on using used parts
ah
also ebay..
i see.
Your dad is jaded by old eBay :)
There's still trash on eBay but there's good stuff, and good buyer protection
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
yeah tech is overpriced as heck right now
If you're ever worried put a link on this server and we'll tell you if it's good or not
hm yeah
gpu are mostly overpriced rn
and APUs with vega
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
start it in dangerous mode
..
have you tried turning it off and on again
alright i’ll stop since i’m clearly not helping
Rams are not detected either
your ram is in the right way?
Yeah
and it’s firmly in place?
Checked it a few times
Newegg
and your motherboard supports it right
All my rams are same brand same speed and everything
did you try clearing cmos after installing more ram
i downloaded a gaming pc and didn’t find that /s
Let me double check
????
joke
you wouldn't download a car
download a different brand of ram 😎
too late
watch me XD
Where can I find cars to download
banned for advertising
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
.
i assume your power supply is providing enough energy
yeah
Mixed brands of RAM? Or the same for all 4 sticks?
even mixed brands should work at jedec at the very least
Same timings?
I had a customer come in asking me to overclock his 7700K
he had 3x8gb all different brands
Yeah everything is the same
wait have you made sure your ram slots aren’t dead
Clear CMOS for sure to start, like snail said
i’ve never messed with ram before but i’m just thinking of how you could solve this issue
Will it prevent me from Turing on the pc if the slots are dead?
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
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
I’ll try
Lol I don’t know how I’m searching for that
Changing any hardware it's good practice to clear CMOS
What motherboard is it?
Ah, Z490-p
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
Oh no I don’t
hm
pretty sure there’s a tool that checks if some components of a motherboard works but i’m not sure
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
do you like my pc setup
first build: carefully clearing cmos with screwdriver while quivering in fear
30th build: ehh whatever clears cmos with a kitchen knife
i clear mine by throwing it against a wall
Well the battery would probably pop out so that technically could work
That's inaccurate
Ok
You could wire that to your cmos header but its intended function is to simply reset the power
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
maybe low res?
Done
Do I turn it on?
Once you put the battery back in, yes. See if the memory is detected in BIOS now.
F1, that's normal after clearing CMOS
Oh no it’s not detected
Ok, try using just the new memory and see if that shows up.
Idk why my computer wouldn’t even boot up
It won't even boot with the new memory, without the old set installed?
Oh no
I didn’t check that yet
Are there anything u need to do in bios after u adding ram to the pc?
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.
Maybe the ram slots are dead
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.
The system just booted up fine
Doing what? Moving the sticks or using just the new ones?
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
Possibly dusty slots or bad slots, RGB off is no bueno
Try the old RAM in the first and third slots as a test
RAM doesn't use wires, even for RGB
It was prebuilt so he wouldn't know I guess
I have to keep reminding myself I can't have RGB RAM when I finally do get to build my desktop.
Why not?
Lol well if you're on a budget i guess but yeah why not?
Because I know what ones I want and I can't justify the cost. Sure are pretty though.
I got trident z rgb for 76 a few months back
I think I know which ones you mean lol
Fair, my pc is on floor so idc what it looks like tbh
same stuff is like 110 now
Especially since I'm going to have to dump a stupid amount of money to get a GPU.
I grabbed a set of fairly decent RGB memory for $120
which kit?
This aight if you only going intel https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PBPKHx/team-t-force-delta-rgb-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-tf3d416g3000hc16cdc01
Maybe tomorrow's shuffle will have some 3060s and I win finally.
How did you get it working?
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
Probs didn't click in on 1 side
either not fully seated or dirty contacts
What does disabling secure boot in bios do
Thank y’all for helps
An air duster i hope
Pretty common honestly, that was going to be my next question if the slots turned out to be ok
A duster sounds like a static nightmare xd
Better than canned air and a brush
Long term investment, not bad. I go through about $5 of air a month though, so not a big deal for me.
How often do you clean your pc with canned air that it costs you like a can/month
Secure boot **
Multiple PCs and consoles that I clean every couple weeks
Ahhh
Buy an air compressor
I have one and it works epic
Eh. It only costs me around $60 a year for air. Not a big issue.
Ig but over time air compressor is more pog
So how do you fill car tires and stuff?
Do you go down to gas station and use their pump?
It's a rebate
Yes. They have to offer that for free in California.
So meh
That's pog, here it costs money
So I use air compressor for it, and making "bombs" lol
Plastic bottles + compressor?
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
WInd Machine.
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
Wait... what drive has 2 sata cables?
The order only matters if you have any M.2 drives
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.
I think I had to get the software drive in.
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
pc parts?
@drifting fox
im guessing thermals
I dont think so
thermals wouldnt affect 6 hrs in game
Ah yes
so thermals are still def in range of causing it imo
so nebby does it freeze during games or right after games?
Even if no gaming is done it would still hit thermal equilibrium earlier tho
Ryzen 5 3600
X570 gigabyte pro
Corsair vengeance pro 3200 4 8gb
Msi mag aio cooler
1650 4gb asus tuf oc
The coolers themselves will equalize quickly but if the case has poor airflow, that will take long to heat up
not cooling then
could be
yeah
so when does it freeze? when gaming?
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
what are temps lookin like on gpu?
smells like a windows fault
30 or 40
oh yeah then thats all good
Wym
Well its been almost daily now
youve tried a restart on pc?
Restart?
Yes i have
How would I fix then? Thank you all
ummm @muted patio got any suggestions?
Should I reinstall and would that mess up my key activation
reinstalling doesnt mess up key activation iirc
id wait and see if vintage has any other ideas
Ok thank you all again
Ye np
Like ive done everything i can besides repair or reinstalling windows
Mhmm
smells like windows scheduler being bad
Oh how so
its prioritising wierd processes above the apps you r running
a restart fixes it
They've tried a restart
Ive restarted
like temporarily
It still happens daily
ok so lets try a few things
Chipset drivers as well as the power plan for ryzen?
Power plan?
Chipset done I believe
Chipset is done
ok if you have the chipset drivers then open control panel
Ok
in controll panel search up power options
choose ryzen high performance plan
Ok done
ok so now in the windows type here to search, type in appearance and performance
Ok
done?
Yuh typed in
Yes
open the advannced tab
Done
now press change and send me a screenshot
uncheck automatically manage paging file size for all drives
Ok done
and set the c drive to custom size
Ok
Ok
and then on the previous window that you were on, change the adjust of best performance of to background tasks
and after you do all this restart pc
in the advanced tab up top
ah ok done
do i change the pic i set last
ok ok but should i do anything else?
nope just restart pc once
can i ask what does this do for my pc?
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
should this fix the daily freezing like ive been having and its not a window install problem
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
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
What would i need to look out for?
Any program that spikes in cpu usage
Ok thanks for the help
Np
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?
What do you plan on doing on it?
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.
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
unless you get an apu and no gpu
Even with apu
you could use like 3rd or 4th gen intel
Still kinda hard for that much
Seriously, second hand Optiplex fits the bill perfect. Still good performance for what they want and it looks old school lol
Would the Dell Otiplex be compatible with a HP w1907 external monitor, a Wacom tablet, and a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex drive?
Yes, they have USB ports and can run Windows 10
Depends on the tablet
What would the keyboard for that cost? I don't have any external keyboards lying around.
The Wacom tablet is a "One by Wacom".
Might need a USB card if you want USB 3.0
Any keyboard you like really you can get a 10 dollar set off Amazon
$10 on Amazon for a matching KB
Tablet should be fine on 2.0 ofc
That requires an hdmi port so make sure It has that
the keyboard i use is like 10 dollars or something and I know you get cheaper ones
It's technically a "Wacom pad" not a "tablet", I think.
Ehh it’s mostly a tablet
I have one as well
Try to set mine up again and the dumb thing won’t display
the thing is so finicky
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?
No the optiplex should work fine won’t the monitor, you just have to look for one with a hdmi port because the Wacom one requires hdmi
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.
Do you think a HPw1907 monitor is compatible with the port of this model? https://www.newegg.com/dell-optiplex-390-business-desktops-workstations/p/1VK-0001-53288?Description=dell optiplex&cm_re=dell_optiplex-_-9SIAFW2B345327-_-Product
I can't tell if they're an exact fit.
Yes. HDMI is on both.
That's a VGA, it will still work yes
Last time can you build a apu system for less then 250 on amazon
Ryan
Altho you can build a pc for sub 100 bucks, as ltt has showed, I wouldn't
Lol
Let me explain
No operating system tho
Ye
There is a contest between 10+ dumb people on making the best pc for 250 on amazon
2 dollar windows key
Ok
Ummm
I'd see if there's any optiplex being sold
On amazon
Like used ones
Apu system is the only option I mean if you can get your hands on a 8800gt idk
Nah e tier worse
Max that apu performance
But I'd go d tier so it'd boot at least
Ok
Hmm so you need case
Ok
Wood is provided for an open bench
I'd go cheaper on psu
Then thermal paste is provided
Ok
So cheaper psu
Yeah
What price range
Kk
Tru
By a buck or two
Remember amazon only
Mhmm
also i cant find 3000g for that price
wait can you buy used?
on amazon?
ok good
Here let me update it
April 1st I am sure
oof ok
how much storage do you need
i can save a few bucks by going 60
Kk
Here I will ask the main guy to change the rules to new egg as well and see if the console of the contest will change
wegg has 10 dollar promos for new members sometimes aswell
which could be used to help
Ye
you gotta order soon
Oh the day that we order is april 1st and we wait like 2-3 weeks before getting it
Sorry to worry you
Ye
