go to windows settings -> system -> display -> advanced display settings and set the refresh rate

#

my monitor is overclocked or smt

odd cosmos
#

yea it just says 64hz

#

idk why

#

my monitor says it's 120hz but i checked that and searched up a tester which said it was 64hz too

#

it's a 165hz monitor btw

vagrant olive
#

oh

#

are you using dp or hdmi

odd cosmos
#

dp

vagrant olive
#

ok, what settings show up in the windows settings

odd cosmos
#

it only has the option to set to 64hz

#

idk

#

why

vagrant olive
#

hm

#

ok go to that same page and click Display Adapter properties for Display 1

#

then go to monitor and see if you can change the refresh rate there

odd cosmos
#

wait lemme re connect and connnect again maybe that will help

#

alr

#

lemme c that too

vagrant olive
#

displayport requires a restart if you plug it in while the computers on

#

just fyi

odd cosmos
#

ohhh

#

lemme restart

muted patio
#

Gotta go into settings on the monitor itself and cjange tefresh rate. ;)

#

Technically thats overclocking it

vagrant olive
#

ive never gone into my actual monitor settings before and honestly i dont want to

#

aoc monitors got janky af monitor setting control

odd cosmos
#

AYE

#

i got it fixed

#

now its 164.998 hz aye

#

lol

#

wait guys how do u check if cpu is fullying functioning

worn wave
#

If it turns on and works

#

Perhaps a stress test

verbal quarry
#

ctrl+alt+del then do task manager and click performance

#

itll tell you what the cpu is doing

long fjord
#

I'm doing a new build. Have everything except for CPU, motherboard & RAM.
Should I get 11th Gen or 10th Gen? Build is for gaming & work. (Game engine, Buildbox, Blender, Photoshop etc...)

odd cosmos
#

what if the fps on the game is getting less than expected?

vagrant olive
odd cosmos
#

lmao

lyric thistle
#

😔

hexed hull
#

Who can help me with my monitor

vagrant olive
hexed hull
vagrant olive
#

since you haven gotten your mobo yet you still have the option of amd, which may be better depending on ur budget

odd cosmos
#

how do i bench mark my computer?

vagrant olive
jagged ember
#

I'd use p95

#

For cpu

earnest olive
#

p95 is not a benchmark

#

it doesn't give you a score

jagged ember
#

Ooh that's true

#

You're right

earnest olive
#

cinebench still good for cpu bench

long fjord
#

@vagrant olive

vagrant olive
#

bro

#

that does that entire spreadsheet for you basically

earnest olive
#

lmao

jagged ember
#

Um

vagrant olive
#

my man created pcpp in google sheets

jagged ember
#

Pc part picker my dude

#

I mean props for the Google sheets

odd cosmos
#

ok

vagrant olive
#

im impressed lmao

jagged ember
#

First time I've seen that

odd cosmos
#

how much should the 11500 get?

jagged ember
#

Looks real nice

vagrant olive
odd cosmos
#

kk

long fjord
#

Lol. Was just tryna keep track of the money I spent so far.

marble seal
#

input what you paid

#

youll know what you spent and whats left to spend

odd cosmos
#

how to u download cinebench?

earnest olive
#

wow

#

nobody has benched i5-11500 on hwbot yet

#

time to go buy one

odd cosmos
#

lol

earnest olive
#

need those sweet hwbot points

long fjord
#

@vagrant olive I'm ok with spending 2 additional grands for the remaindingparts.

vagrant olive
#

ok so you still need cpu mobo and ram

long fjord
#

Yup

vagrant olive
#

you're not gonna need to spend 2k on those just fyi

long fjord
#

I'm leaning towards the Strix motherboard, just not sure if I wanna go 11th gen or 10th gen cpu

vagrant olive
#

amd is currently the high end

#

with their 5900x and 5950x

odd cosmos
#

but so hard to get lol

vagrant olive
#

intels the budget option as of rn

#

so this is more of a workstation build right

#

(Game engine, Buildbox, Blender, Photoshop etc...)

long fjord
#

Yes, but the gaming I do puts, my current system through more stress.
VR, Microsoft Flight Sim. COD.etc..

vagrant olive
#

ah

vagrant olive
#

damn thats what i did except i was gonna give him an x570 aorus master

long fjord
#

MY current system is good, but I'm giving it to my Son. That the reason for a new build.

earnest olive
#

no need to waste money on x570 with a single gen 3 drive

#

it does nothing for him

vagrant olive
#

oh yeah didnt see that ur right

verbal quarry
#

i just got my 5600x for my very first build today and on first try it posted with no issues B)

vagrant olive
#

id recommend the amd option @long fjord bc more cores and higher speeds

vagrant olive
verbal quarry
#

nope

long fjord
#

I'm also buying two 2TB Gen 4 m.2 ssd's

vagrant olive
#

damn lucky

verbal quarry
#

it wouldnt have been to bad either i have bios flashback

#

tho my rtx 550 is hurtin pretty bad tryin to keep up

#

still waiting on a 3070

vagrant olive
verbal quarry
#

just those three things alone is about as much as my fully built pc

vagrant olive
#

ahaha

verbal quarry
#

jesus

#

im going a 5600x/3070

#

thats insane how much a 5950x costs

long fjord
#

Wow, I already have about 3 grands spent.

verbal quarry
#

good lord

vagrant olive
#

xd

odd cosmos
#

u all think this is legit lol

vagrant olive
#

you cant activate windows for free

#

lul

jagged ember
#

Jesus frickin christ

#

300 bucks for a mobo?

long fjord
#

Looks like my total cost will be about $4,500.

verbal quarry
jagged ember
#

And a 5950x??

odd cosmos
vagrant olive
odd cosmos
#

i read the code, it seems legit

jagged ember
#

I mean if you can get one more power to you

odd cosmos
#

but i have my doubts tho

vagrant olive
#

oh wait you did

odd cosmos
#

it bascially says

verbal quarry
#

where would you guys recommend i get a windows key?

jagged ember
signal scarab
#

i found an rtx 2070 super on ebay but its used is it still a good idea to buy

jagged ember
#

You can activate windows for free dude

odd cosmos
#

if this error code shows up, it types in an act key

#

and if this error code shows up, it types another one

earnest olive
#

depends on price

vagrant olive
jagged ember
#

There's actually a workaround for it lol

odd cosmos
#

is it legit?

signal scarab
vagrant olive
#

i just used a key from a laptop that i stopped using 7 years ago

earnest olive
#

thats quite cheap for a 2070s today

vagrant olive
#

found it collecting dust in my garage

signal scarab
odd cosmos
earnest olive
#

average used going price is 900 usd

jagged ember
#

Has buyers protection or not

vagrant olive
long fjord
#

My current setup.

vagrant olive
#

if its an OEM key (like from a laptop that you bought that came pre installed with windows 10) it might not work

odd cosmos
#

alr lemme c

signal scarab
vagrant olive
#

but theres always a chance bc mine somehow did

odd cosmos
#

it's a old computer tho idk if it works

earnest olive
#

yeah

odd cosmos
#

i think windows on that thing expired years ago

#

was like 1 year windows

#

or mst

#

will that work lol

verbal quarry
#

darn i have a hp pavilion i was thinking of stealing the key from

#

but i cant xD

vagrant olive
#

i have 2 more old laptops in my garage should i ever need to build a new pc

#

lul

odd cosmos
#

do them expire?

verbal quarry
#

could i possibly have a key?

odd cosmos
#

like windows on them

vagrant olive
vagrant olive
verbal quarry
odd cosmos
#

verbal quarry
#

nope

#

good lord windows 10 from microsoft is 140

odd cosmos
vagrant olive
#

oh yeah

#

1 sec

#

wtf is that embed

odd cosmos
#

i can't find command prompt lol

vagrant olive
#

you just go to the windows search bar and type cmd

odd cosmos
#

nvm

#

i found lol

#

i searched command

#

instead of cmd

#

that cmd doesn't work

#

formal wren
#

yes

raw crane

Did you try turning on your monitor first then your pc

#

Desktop^

muted patio
#

PC isn't POSTING, any lights on the motherboard?

raw crane
#

@vagrant olive does that thing you linked me give me wireless wifi?

#

It’s not expensive sooo I’m digging it

vagrant olive
#

i remember i had to move my monitor to my build area to turn it on, and i turned it on for the big reveal and nothing happened and i realized i forgot to plug in the monitor's power

formal wren
#

yes

raw crane
#

Okay sounds good

muted patio
#

If it says no signal it has power LOL

raw crane
#

Idek where to put it

vagrant olive
formal wren
#

on ?

vagrant olive
#

yes

#

i want to see if theres any errorlights

formal wren
#

the rgb from the cpu cooler doesnt turn on

vagrant olive
#

hm

#

what specific mobo is that?

#

and also what cpu

formal wren
#

ryzen 5 3600

#

motherboard is

vagrant olive
#

im going to assume a b450M steel legend

formal wren
#

u r

#

spot on

muted patio
#

wait a minute, what GPU is that?

formal wren
#

1660

muted patio
#

Gpu power doesn't look seated correctly

#

SHould be just a 6 pin

vagrant olive
#

oh yeah

#

that looks weird

muted patio
#

How are there 8 pins crammed in there

formal wren
#

because

#

theres 8

#

pin thingies

muted patio
#

8 pin for a 1660?

formal wren
#

yeah

vagrant olive
formal wren
#

i counted

vagrant olive
#

this looks like the one he has but black

#

theres 8 pins on his

formal wren
#

yahh mines painted

#

white

vagrant olive
#

still tho it doesnt look all the way in

muted patio
#

Huh, Ok but it looks like they aren't seated all theway

lyric thistle
#

the connectors have little tabs that you use to lock them together, and they're not locked together

formal wren
#

oh

#

what

vagrant olive
#

kinda hard to make out in that image but

#

you see that little spot that looks like it bridges them

formal wren
#

yes

vagrant olive
#

it like clips the 2 pin onto the other 6 pins

formal wren
#

i se

muted patio
#

You're also missing a screw on the CPU

#

The CPU cooler

lyric thistle
muted patio
#

How long has it been like that?

formal wren
#

i literally

#

built this

#

like

vagrant olive
#

LOL

formal wren
#

an hr ago

vagrant olive
#

thats how it should be

lyric thistle
vagrant olive
#

ty i just took it

muted patio
#

Yeah, you're missing a hold down thumbscrew on the CPU cooler

lyric thistle
#

nic

vagrant olive
#

ddamn wtf just noticed one of my 8 pin things is like half out'

muted patio
#

Bottom right

vagrant olive
#

eh its prolly fine

verbal quarry
muted patio
#

-_-

formal wren
#

the rgb hes

#

yes

muted patio
#

Do it right

formal wren
#

is this good enough

muted patio
#

That looks fine

lyric thistle
#

very good

formal wren
#

oki

#

could i be that my cpu failed

#

*it

muted patio
#

With no video out, the system isn't POSTing, I'd honestly unplug all of the SATA drives and see if it will POST.

lyric thistle
#

now where's the cooler screw

formal wren
#

relaxing

odd cosmos
#

I wasn’t here for the conversation but is there an error light on the mob?

muted patio
#

Doesn't have any lights

vagrant olive
#

i checked his mobo manual i dont think there are error leds

muted patio
#

There aren't

odd cosmos
#

Mine had then

vagrant olive
#

some mobos dont

odd cosmos
#

Which is how I found out the ram was broken

#

Lol ok I was just suggesting

#

Broken as in it had weird xmp profiles

formal wren
#

guys yk what it could be

odd cosmos
#

Had to reset bios

formal wren
#

my monitor wont change source

odd cosmos
#

Uh

#

Go to the back

formal wren
#

and click the buttons?

odd cosmos
#

Yea and change from whatever it is on rn

formal wren
#

i did

odd cosmos
#

To dp

formal wren
#

like i went to do

#

dp

odd cosmos
#

Or what u are using

formal wren
#

and no signal BUT

#

when i checked the signal again

still roostBOT
#
xitski#3885 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

formal wren
#

oh

vagrant olive
#

it was to DVI or some [thing ] like that

formal wren
#

anyways

muted patio
#

What AIO is that

formal wren
#

YAH

vagrant olive
formal wren
#

it returned to that

#

yes

odd cosmos
#

It’s not that hard

formal wren
#

i did

#

i tried

vagrant olive
odd cosmos
#

Oh nvm lol

formal wren
#

i changed the input

#

i think i did

odd cosmos
#

And no signal right

formal wren
#

yah

#

and i checked source again

#

and it was back to DVI

#

not on DP

odd cosmos
#

What kinda of monitor

formal wren
#

spectre

odd cosmos
#

Um

#

After switching inpu

#

Does it display that it’s now on dp?

formal wren
#

no

#

it just goes back to “no signal found”

odd cosmos
#

Not exactly sure what it looks on your end but how do u know u switched input if it doesn’t tell you?

formal wren
#

thats why i said i dont know if it actually did

odd cosmos
#

For example mine, which is an asus one, when u switch input it shows smt like now using dp

formal wren
#

mine doesnt

odd cosmos
#

Ummmm

formal wren
#

i tried clicking the buttons

#

and nothing

odd cosmos
#

So it doesn’t show if it switched input

#

Yea I mean u said but to confirm

#

Is there a manual

formal wren
#

mhm

odd cosmos
#

Check it out definitely will help

#

I don’t know what it shows on your end so I have no idea what happens when you switch input so it’s difficult to judge if it did

#

Can u send some pictures if that’s an option

formal wren
#

yahh

odd cosmos
#

Alr Alr

formal wren
#

thats me trying to change the source

muted patio
#

Well yeah, it's not gonna stay on DP if there's no signal to it. The PC isn't POSTing

odd cosmos
formal wren
#

u said to unplug all sata drives?

muted patio
#

We do tho

#

BUt ok

#

Good luck

odd cosmos
#

Maybe monitor is just not able to switch input

formal wren
#

bruh LMAO

odd cosmos
#

Ok ig so then

little osprey
#

its not the monitor

odd cosmos
#

Bios reset?

#

U think that will work @muted patio

#

Btw u are sure that u plugged everything in where it’s supposed to go?

#

And what works atm?

formal wren
#

i think i did im pretty positive

#

my pc turns on

#

but

#

like i said

#

the keyboard and mouse

odd cosmos
#

Doesn’t post ok

formal wren
#

dont light up

#

but they should bc theyre connected ????

#

am i right

odd cosmos
#

Oh that could be just the USB ports not connected

little osprey
#

Did he ever seat the power correctly?

desert gulch
formal wren
#

back of mobo

little osprey
#

RGB on cooler turning on?

desert gulch
#

you have 24pin power plugged in fully?

formal wren
#

not on cooler

#

can it b that

little osprey
#

no

formal wren
#

yes

little osprey
#

was the PC turning on before you painted everything?

formal wren
#

wdym

little osprey
#

oh this is a new

formal wren
#

yah

#

i just built it today

#

took me 8 hours ‼️‼️

desert gulch
#

damn thats a long time lol

little osprey
#

Just to be sure, is the CPU power plugged in?

#

Lol

formal wren
#

yah it was my first time building one and i watched like 5 different tutorials 🧍‍♀️

#

mmm

#

YES

odd cosmos
#

Let’s get one thing clear, what works atm?

formal wren
#

Yes it is

#

it lights up fans work

odd cosmos
#

Does the rgb on fans work for example

little osprey
#

Picture

formal wren
#

yes

odd cosmos
#

Ok that’s good then

little osprey
#

if it wasn't turning on that would be a horrible psu/mobo problem

odd cosmos
#

Shows that he plugged power on lol

little osprey
#

what

little osprey
odd cosmos
#

Like the 24 pin is in

formal wren
#

this is a video

#

of it turned on

#

the only rgb not working

#

is on cpu

odd cosmos
#

Nice build so far in terms of aesthetics

formal wren
#

thank u !!

odd cosmos
#

What board is that v

#

?*

formal wren
#

ALSO

odd cosmos
#

B560M?

#

Looks like a steel legend

little osprey
#

what???

formal wren
#

450 i think someone said it

odd cosmos
#

Oh Alr

formal wren
#

the rgb doesnt work on the top fans

odd cosmos
#

Nvm then lol

formal wren
#

but that doesnt matter

#

also

#

bc the fans work

odd cosmos
#

Is there any indicators on the mob of any errors

#

I get that there might not be led indicator but there could

#

Is there a small red dot o

little osprey
#

Show me the 24 pin/cpu power

odd cosmos
#

Of led light

#

That tells u what is not working

formal wren
#

uhhh no

odd cosmos
#

It could be a ton of things

formal wren
#

do u want me to unplug it @little osprey

odd cosmos
#

We can’t really just test everything

little osprey
#

No,

#

pictures

formal wren
#

oki

odd cosmos
#

Could be mis plugged cables, ram, cpu malfunction, etc

#

So many things that can’t account for

#

Thus something like a led indicator helps a lot to narrow down the issue

formal wren
#

WAIT IS IT EVEN PLUGGED IN

#

its not plugged in

odd cosmos
#

All manufactures should have one of those smh

formal wren
#

isnt it

odd cosmos
#

Um lemme c the thing is loading lol on data rn wifi broken

lyric thistle
#

looks like the 24pin needs a shove

formal wren
#

its so hard

lyric thistle
#

yea

odd cosmos
#

Lmao yes

little osprey
#

Supposed to be

odd cosmos
#

It’s not in

formal wren
#

ok

#

i gave it a shove

odd cosmos
#

Just make sure to apply force on both sides

#

Evenly

#

Alr is it in

lyric thistle
#

it has a clip on the long side, make sure it's clipped on

formal wren
#

oki

odd cosmos
#

And remember not to touch it when ur testing if it posts lol

formal wren
#

yes

#

oki

odd cosmos
#

Is it posting?

formal wren
#

let me see

little osprey
#

thats in

#

ok

#

turn it on

formal wren
#

no like the monitor drags in general to change source

little osprey
#

its still not turning on?

formal wren
#

nope

odd cosmos
#

UGH

little osprey
#

Picture of CPU power please

#

Draco

#

you're not helping

formal wren
#

is it the top cable

#

thats so mean

odd cosmos
#

I’m trying me best lmao

little osprey
odd cosmos
#

I just built one tdy and it wasn’t posting for a while

#

Same situation everything turned on

#

And I did bios reset since xmp

formal wren
odd cosmos
#

Can’t really see if that’s in or not lol

#

Shadows

little osprey
#

Its not

#

push it in

formal wren
#

oki

little osprey
#

Turn it on now

formal wren
#

HELP LMAOOO

#

it wont turn on

#

in general

#

oh i unplugged it

#

still nothing

little osprey
#

no display or its not turning on in general

#

why an O11???

odd cosmos
#

Get 11500 since no gpu

#

Worth it for 20-30 dollars more

little osprey
#

is this under a budget?

#

or

formal wren
#

no display

little osprey
#

take it out

#

and put it back in

formal wren
#

oki

little osprey
#

power off of course

#

they weren't talking to you

odd cosmos
#

The igpu in 11500 better and it’s worth the money

little osprey
#

Change the CPU to an 11500

odd cosmos
#

Yes that’s what I said

little osprey
#

And change the CPU to a ID-cooling 224 XT

odd cosmos
#

It’s not that much better admittedly but it’s worth the money

#

Given that u are not using gpu anything u can get from igpu is valuable

odd cosmos
#

Wait and mando, he should also prob get better power supply right

#

Yea

#

More than enough for 1660

#

Lol yea

#

And

#

While u are at it

little osprey
odd cosmos
#

Get 3600 ram the igpu will like it

formal wren
#

yes that

little osprey
#

not many options

odd cosmos
#

I was thinking he gonna get better gpu lol

little osprey
frank stirrup
odd cosmos
#

Cause 550 not enough these days

little osprey
#

its a 1660

frank stirrup
odd cosmos
#

Ik only for 1660

#

Like 3070 won’t work

little osprey
#

even a 3060 ti

#

3060 ti will run at 125w

frank stirrup
#

^

odd cosmos
#

Never said it’s not enough for him

#

Thought he was gonna get high end gpu

#

Yea lol sorry for misunderstanding

frank stirrup
#

You made a general statement and mando corrected you

formal wren
#

why is it so hard to take it off

frank stirrup
formal wren
#

i dod

#

did

frank stirrup
#

Itll fall out

formal wren
#

it wont pop off

#

did i break it 🧍‍♀️

little osprey
#

use something thin

#

like a knife

#

and push the metal part

little osprey
#

your finger is likely too big and keeping the battery in

frank stirrup
formal wren
#

away

odd cosmos
#

Don’t use knife lmao that thing should come off no need for knife

little osprey
#

Good, now do that with some thin

formal wren
#

its the only way it lets me push

little osprey
#

"like" a knife

odd cosmos
#

If u do it right, it’s not that hard to fall out

little osprey
#

not everybody has long fingernails

frank stirrup
odd cosmos
#

Should fall out on its own with a little help

#

Um yea

little osprey
odd cosmos
#

Ig then

little osprey
#

@formal wren Use a screwdriver to push it away

formal wren
#

i tried a tiny screwdriver

#

didnt work

frank stirrup
#

Slap the back of pc

#

While holding back the clip

formal wren
#

pls i dont know if u r joking or not

odd cosmos
#

UHUH

frank stirrup
#

It actually could work

little osprey
#

slap back of pc

formal wren
#

no

odd cosmos
#

Bruh what why

little osprey
#

is the back panel on?

formal wren
#

no its not on

#

LMAO

formal wren

frank stirrup
odd cosmos
#

U shouldn’t need to slap it for it to come outtt

frank stirrup
formal wren
#

her

odd cosmos
#

U can try to get someone else to pull that metal piece for you and u

formal wren
#

🙏🙏

frank stirrup
formal wren
#

LMAOAOAO

#

bruh

frank stirrup
odd cosmos
#

U try to pull it

little osprey
#

Are you pushing the metal pin far enough?

formal wren
#

all the way

#

like it wont budge

#

it looks like its gonna come out

#

but it doesnt

little osprey
#

do that with your nails and use screwdriver to get battery out

frank stirrup
#

Slap back of pc while pushing it back

odd cosmos
#

Then get someone else to pull the battery out while u pull the metal part

#

It’s more safe lnao

formal wren
#

ok nvm

odd cosmos
#

Bruh slapping it isn’t that safe

formal wren
#

im not doing that

odd cosmos
#

😐

little osprey
formal wren
#

my hand slipped

frank stirrup
odd cosmos
#

U could drop the pc first of all

still roostBOT
#
xitski#3885 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

formal wren
#

omg

odd cosmos
#

And there are so many ways it could go wrong

little osprey
#

please don't tell me you scratched something

formal wren
#

idk

#

im gonna die

odd cosmos
#

That’s exactly why u don’t slap it

little osprey
#

Draco

#

shut it

frank stirrup
#

Slapping isnt the same thing as exerting 1000 newtons of fore with a hammer draco

formal wren
#

i didnt slap it tho

odd cosmos
#

Bruh u are giving false advise to slap and possibly drop it

little osprey
#

i'll ping a mod rn

frank stirrup
#

Do you are have dumb?

little osprey
#

rule 6 and 11

potent portal
#

I'd listen to mando

#

A side panel won't be damaged from a love tap

frank stirrup
#

Hello falcie

odd cosmos
#

I’m saying u could drop the system, u have to get what I mean that thing is heavy....

frank stirrup
#

@formal wren what happened

formal wren
#

i dont know anymore

frank stirrup
#

A slap isnt gonna do a thing

little osprey
potent portal
#

Why would you hit it while you're holding it? Tables exist

formal wren
#

this area 😞

odd cosmos
#

But u get what I mean when I say u could drop the system while trying to slap it

little osprey
#

Nah, you're good

#

keep trying to get battery out

formal wren
#

omg bet

odd cosmos
#

I don’t get how hard it can be I literally just did it

little osprey
#

shut

odd cosmos
#

I have the same one 😐

frank stirrup
#

Just put the back pannel on and slap it while holding the clip down

little osprey
#

Production varies with stuff like that

#

random crap will bend

odd cosmos
#

U can’t jump to slapping before u try something more safe first

frank stirrup
frank stirrup
#

Thats less safe

little osprey
#

Anywho, @formal wren you're sure you're pressing the pin far back enough?

potent portal
#

So wait we're trying to get cmos battery out? Is there not a jumper or button?

odd cosmos
#

Never said a knife lmao

frank stirrup
#

Then suggest something

#

Instead of being annoying

odd cosmos
#

Try smt like a thin metal piece

formal wren
#

it wont budge

#

im using the screwdriver

little osprey
#

i'll check manual

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

Record you doing that

odd cosmos
#

Or again, like I did, get someone else to pull the metal back while u get the battery out

formal wren
#

im using two hands

#

how imma record

frank stirrup
#

It should fall out

formal wren
#

i did

#

i slapped it

frank stirrup
#

Screwdriver might be pushing it in

little osprey
#

theres a clear cmos jumper

#

look for 2 pins

formal wren
#

whats that

little osprey
#

Just 2 pins

#

alone on the mobo

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

bottom right

#

use the screwdriver and put it inbetween them making sure it touches both

#

hold it there for 5 seconds

#

you do it?

formal wren
#

wait

#

put the screwdriver

#

between those pins ?

little osprey
#

yes

#

make sure the screwdriver touches both

#

keep it there for 5 seconds

potent portal
#

If the screwdriver has a magnetic tip that might not work. If it does have a black tip like that use something else metal.

little osprey
#

^

formal wren
#

ok

#

i did

little osprey
#

put GPU in

#

turn it on

formal wren
#

i did

#

nothing

#

tried a different monitor

#

and nothing

sage onyx
#

?best 1500 dollar prebuilt for games like warzone and fortnite?

earnest olive
#

i just bought one recently

robust lake
#

Because you need metal to short the pins

earnest olive
#

is magnetized steel not metal

robust lake
#

I think some of them are

potent portal
#

Some of them work, some don't. I think some have a thin plastic layer to protect it from being demagnetized

clear moat
#

guys whats a safe memory temp on a gpu?

vagrant olive
#

for what situation?

sonic dragon
#

Any1 can help me build a pc

lime lark

@vagrant olive under load

Slow ram

Like value wise

potent portal
clear moat
#

one by hp

little osprey
#

I see, I'm gonna make it better

frank stirrup
#

Get 3600mhz ram

#

A slightly cheaper board

#

And a mushin pilot e ssd

little osprey
#

Thank you for your advice

frank stirrup
#

Np

potent portal
#

Oh eww oem gpu
Let me see if anyone has done a teardown and what the cooler situation is.

frank stirrup
#

Dell actually has a decent one somehow

clear moat
#

bad in what aspect?

frank stirrup
#

Cooling wise

clear moat
#

ah

#

do run pretty hot

#

600 fps on val is pretty ok

potent portal
#

It would benefit from new thermal pads and paste for sure. Get 1mm and 3mm pads.

clear moat
#

best pads available rn?

potent portal
#

Anything is better than nothing, which is what you have now

clear moat
#

okay then suggestions on thermal paste?

potent portal
#

Good old arctic silver would do the trick, cheap and a good standby

little osprey
frank stirrup
#

better value than the samsung

little osprey
#

kk

frank stirrup
#

Why dont you get a 5600X now tho/

#

its only like 50 extra

little osprey
#

yeah good idea

#

the 5600x is over 1500$

robust lake
#

650w for 120$??

jagged ember
#

Sheesh

#

magic lotus
#

My pc wont get out of the bios menu does somebody know how to fix this problem cause my pc is kinda useless now

frank stirrup
#

also when did this start happening?

magic lotus
#

I have tried to leave the bios but it kent sending me back

#

This started from the first time I have started it

#

It isnt the ram cause it shows them and I replacement them

frank stirrup
#

do you have windows installed

#

or any other os?

frank stirrup
#

@magic lotus

strange wadi
#

Alrighty here's a build i'm thinking of building but not sure about the pricing, either it's wrong or way too inflated

magic lotus
#

I cant

frank stirrup
#

Then what is it supposed to do except go to bios if no os?

magic lotus
#

How do I go to there

#

Its only going to bios

frank stirrup
#

you put in a windows installer pendrive

#

and select that in the boot menu

magic lotus
#

So I download windows on a drive and than put it in the pc?

#

And than use a windows key to boot

robust lake
#

Alot of things that wont give you more preformance and just a waste of money

magic lotus
#

Way to much ram

#

For what u gonna use that ram

strange wadi
# magic lotus Build

I'm thinking of building this during college and some reasonable animation for classes

robust lake
#

32gb should be fine

magic lotus
#

Nice

#

U can save rrally much on the ram and ssd

strange wadi
robust lake
#

You dont need 2 thermal pastes

magic lotus
#

With the saved money u can mabye buy a new monitor or a second or third

robust lake
#

also samsung ssds are realy expensive you can get cheaper ones

strange wadi
robust lake
#

Oh ok

magic lotus
#

I dont think that $10 is the problem

robust lake
#

Yeah the 1500 on ssds is

#

Lol

magic lotus
#

Hahah lol

robust lake
#

And ofc dont buy a 3080 for 2500...

strange wadi
strange wadi
magic lotus
#

Think thats smarter

robust lake
#

Yeah just wait to get it for normal price

magic lotus
#

Just keep looping at prices and there will be some deals

robust lake
#

You have a 1660 rn so you can wait till you find one

#

At good price

magic lotus
#

I have a 1660 super in my build too

#

But I havent installed windows yet

#

I htg

#

Good Luck with your builds and everything

strange wadi
#

I'll have to revise it and see if the changes are decent

robust lake
#

Tbh just get 2 8TB hdds insted of the 860 evos

strange wadi
robust lake

robust lake
#

ok

fossil cedar
strange wadi
#

plot twist: I don't have it yet, i'm start by saving it up with the help of 24/7 job service

fossil cedar
#

Well there's def places you can save money then like you can get 4tb hdds for 80$

#

But no sneeak so

robust lake
#

Or less ram if you dont need it

#

what are you planning to do with the pc?

#

128gb is way over what you will need for standart usage

fossil cedar
#

Yeah 64gb is plenty

Yea

That’s the model I got and it’s working out pretty well

Can barely hear it

#

Wait guys, is there any performance difference when it comes to atx vs matx

#

Or just size

robust lake
odd cosmos
#

Anything wrong with this?

#

I tested out some games and feel like it should be getting more FPS

muted patio
#

Yeah, UBM is a horrible comparison

odd cosmos
#

Wdym?

#

Is anything wrong?

muted patio
#

There's no verification to it and it's honestly useless

odd cosmos
#

Oh Alr

muted patio
#

Compare to real benchmarks

odd cosmos
#

Anything that is good?

muted patio
#

Like in actual games

odd cosmos
#

To test it?

robust lake
#

3d mark

odd cosmos
#

Cause feel like something is off

muted patio
#

It's integrated graphics, it's going to be super low

odd cosmos
#

Yea ik but think it should be higher than what I’m getting

#

Since 750 is alright

muted patio
#

It's still integrated

odd cosmos
#

Yea alright

#

Could the integrated graphics drives not be set up or smt?

muted patio
#

Compare benchmarks like Timespy or something

#

Or your FPS in game to another test of it of the same game

odd cosmos
#

Kk

#

Oh shoot I don’t have steam rn lmao

#

So many things to download

odd cosmos
#

Yea like other than that

fossil cedar
#

Nope

odd cosmos
#

oh

#

alright then

#

wait so it's prob not worht it to retunr this board and get a new one right

#

and get something like this

#

since it has wifi and after adding wifi to the first board, it's like only 20 dollars less

muted patio
#

If you return and install a new board, have to reactivate Windows

odd cosmos
#

oh yea

muted patio
#

Just keep the board you have and add a WiFi card if you need wifi

odd cosmos
#

um then it's prob not worth it

odd cosmos
#

but is the asus one better?

muted patio
#

No

odd cosmos
#

in terms of performence, features and such

muted patio
#

There's no reason to switch

odd cosmos
#

oh alright

ok thats good

muted patio

I would, we know that one works

hasty mountain
#

k

#

lmao gte is better i think

i mean it has more rpm but not sure abt anything else

RPM doesn't mean much

hasty mountain
#

k ill go gammax 400

rich helm
#

That mobo seems awfully expensive

#

Idk

muted patio
#

Nah, I have that same board and CPU

#

It's Canada lol

rich helm
#

Oh but like 200 usd tho

#

I thought the prime was cheaper than that

muted patio
#

Yeah, it is a good board tho. Got that and a 10600K for my wifes build a while back

#

I think regular price is 189 or something
