Maybe your new install is close enough to the old one that you won't have problems? 🤞

Windows
tough shell
ahh ye
potent portal
You'll need to tell it "I changed hardware"
potent portal
It's not a "working" problem it's a "licensed to use it" problem
fossil cedar
ah? legal stuff?
Nope it's perfectly legal to use windows without a key
jagged ember
Windows is technically freeware
potent portal
Yeah nothing to worry about though, you have a license and just need to transfer it
jagged ember
So no need to pay at all
tough shell
I don't know the key
fossil cedar
It's just so you can change background and colours and stuff
potent portal
That's ok it's saved to your account

hmm hope so

Just login with Microsoft account and tell it u changed hardware

obsidian wigeon
what is that ram mix?
oh god this has many wrongs, lemme suggest
the ssd is a bad choice
get pilot e instead, 980 non pro is dramless
as for windows, just get ones from ebay
case can be changed into p300/400a (iirc) cause it has better airflow
sharp temple
the non rgb i bought about a 3 months ago, and the rgb is to match the rgb of the case
sharp temple
what type of not working
obsidian wigeon
It's odd
sharp temple
I suggest not buying the ram lol
Why?
obsidian wigeon
The mix in speed and CL
obsidian wigeon
It's a mess
muted patio
The RGB should be 3200 to match the non-rgb
obsidian wigeon
And same CL
sharp temple
oh i put in the wrong ram
obsidian wigeon
If it's the same then you're good

I can't boot into windows or do anything

Get the 3600/3200 rgb it's cheaper and faster
urban trellis
It said ur pc did not start correctly
obsidian wigeon
If hours later it doesn't fix itself, you'll need windows reinstall
urban trellis
Ok
sharp temple
i fixed the ram
sharp temple
Get the 3600/3200 rgb it's cheaper and faster
I already have 2x8gb 3200 ram
urban trellis
So do I go to bios and change my boot device to usb to reinstall windows
obsidian wigeon
it's not needed
it usually just auto boots into the usb
but to be safe, you can do that
fossil cedar
I already have 2x8gb 3200 ram
Yes ik hence why you shouldn't get slower ram, if you get faster (3600) it will just run at 3200 anyway
urban trellis
Ok
fossil cedar
Because ram runs at the slowest speed out of each stick
urban trellis
Thanks
sharp temple
are you sure i thought you couldnt get a diffrent speed of ram?
muted patio
Because ram runs at the slowest speed out of each stick
They had the wrong ram in the list lol

You want any features like wifi or something for the motherboard

You want any features like wifi or something for the motherboard
Yes wifi would be nice, I was thinking about the x570 plus asus tuf
But I wait for your recommendation
dark hearth
Yes I know
fossil cedar
Arctic aio, phanteks amp/msi mpg power supply instead @sharp temple
dark hearth
Lol no worrys
fossil cedar
Yes wifi would be nice, I was thinking about the x570 plus asus tuf
X570 is a waste tbh but lemme see
sharp temple
Arctic aio, phanteks amp/msi mpg power supply instead <@313604234820190208>
I chose the Glacier One because it would match my case and fans
and a bunch of people sugested the Septoget
AMP?
fossil cedar
I chose the Glacier One because it would match my case and fans
Change the psu, segotep is decent but not for 90$ it used to be a lot cheaper
Phanteks amp yeah
I think it's amp
sharp temple
what that?
fossil cedar
An a tier psu
stoic island
Segotep is good lower end PSU
there are better PSUs at higher price points
fossil cedar
@dark hearth does your case have aio support
stoic island
when you're paying 90$, might as well get an amp 650w or like a-gf 750w for same price or 10$ more
sharp temple
im not looking for a higher price than $90
stoic island
amp 650w looks to be 85$ rn
urban trellis
Let's go windows is installing
dark hearth
<@367125244336668682> does your case have aio support
No
stoic island
rest of that list is just wacky

It's cpu coolinf

They already have the non rgb ram
obsidian wigeon
AIO is all in one liquid cooling
sharp temple
windows is in there just so i know i need it
stoic island
yes
dark hearth
Pato, make the full build with a case
stoic island
so get more non-rgb ram
sharp temple
i want rgb, but i dont want to just store my other ram on a shelf
sharp temple
because i dont like the front
sharp temple
I dont need that much space on my HDD and I dont really care about boot times for the SSD
stoic island
ok
sharp temple
bad airflow tho
its said to be ok ariflow
stoic island
those fans

obsidian wigeon
okay but it's not good
obsidian wigeon
yeh
mortal raft
What's the giveaway?
obsidian wigeon
and imo looks better
stoic island
ye, imo looks much better, but anyways

fossil cedar
So whats wrong with the mobo
Nothing is wrong with yours just b550 is a mess
sharp temple
oh well @stoic island said my mobo was wack
sharp temple
i dont want an adapter
stoic island
bruh
dark hearth
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cz4ngt <@367125244336668682>
Pato, why recommend Intel above amd?
sharp temple
its something else that can get broken in the process
dark hearth
And where to get NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB Founders Edition Video Card for 600$😳
sharp temple
vs it just being integrated into the mobo
jagged ember
I mean
Anything can get broken in the process
A WiFi card isn't really any safer than built in wifi unless you really try to break it
stoic island
vs it just being integrated into the mobo
you know that integrated wifi is just a wifi chip they put under the io shield right
it's the same thing as an wifi adapter
except they put it in for you
there's a reason why some boards have a m.2 key e slot under the io shield
because that's where wifi chip can go
stoic island
oh hey it does
but even if you vert mount
can still fit in a wifi adapter
either lp PCIe adapter or just m.2 adapter
sharp temple
besides the wifi & price is there anything else wrong with it
fossil cedar
Pato, why recommend Intel above amd?
Amd isn't viable at your price point
stoic island
everything else I said
sharp temple
you were just talking abou the price and wifi
stoic island
aio wacky, motherboard expensive, ram stick mixing is wacky, hard drive is wacky...
dunno man, looks like more than that
sharp temple
im talking about just the mobo right now
sharp temple
what wrong with the hard drive
stoic island
1tb for same price as 2tb
smr if you care about that
unclear, but reportedly bad reliability
fossil cedar
what wrong with the hard drive
Price of a 2tb drive
sharp temple
what HDD would you recomend
stoic island
cmr blue is 62$
sharp temple
CMR?
stoic island
This is the cmr varient
https://shop.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-desktop-sata-hdd#WD20EZRZ
sharp temple
fossil cedar
Wd blue basically
Mr1111 would you take that over the cheaper segate drive tho? Is it that much better?
Granted its like a 7$ diff but still
sharp temple
the HDD must be under $55 ish
stoic island
Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology helps hard drive manufacturers to produce HDDs with larger capacity. But it is not recommended to use SMR drives for applications with significant load (for example in NAS boxes or for 24x7 use).
and eh, it's not that much better, I just prefer cmr
and barracuda is just wacky on the reliability side, who knows what the actual failure rate is, some say it's great, some say it's terrible

I appreciate that. I liked it when I first built it but the more I look at it the more it just seems bare, and like the fans are rgb for rgbs sake

Every time I turn on my pc for the eathenet to work I have to reset my network adapter
How do I fix it
distant spoke
have you tried reseating it?
white blaze
How do I fix it
try updating the ethernet driver
white blaze
yup, right click and update
distant spoke
cappy can you help me? I tried csm, allowing legacy devices but I still get stuck on a screen after the little windows logo shows up after trying to boot into the light windows I forgot the name

or check Windows Updates for optional updates
If it's blue screening, then you have a fault. How much RAM do you have?
is it a desktop or laptop?
What kind of installation media are you using?
ancient wraith
it says the best drivers are already installed
white blaze
it says the best drivers are already installed
What kind of device is it, desktop or laptop?
Model
What type of ethernet adapter is on it?
white blaze
what model computer?
white blaze
ok, what MOBO is in it
ancient wraith
i have b550 auros elite
white blaze
is there a bios upadte for it?
ancient wraith
i have f12
white blaze
ok, goto manufacturer site for the board and see if there is a new one
also, which version of windows are you running 1909, 2004, 20H2?
white blaze
click start>type winver> hit enter
ancient wraith
20h2
white blaze
ah then check for an updated LAN driver from the manufacturer site. I see some of the B550's have a driver that fixes random disconnects
white blaze
sent in DM
ancient wraith
ok
will i be able too just download it in app center
i cant find a lan driver
i must be blind or something
im sorry man but where is the lan lol
white blaze
pick you board from the list, it will open another page. On that page click support (upper right usually). Then look for drivers
LAN drivers
ancient wraith
ok thanks i see it now which one should i download
white blaze
is there one that looks like the snip I sent specifically for random LAN disconect?
white blaze
install and you should be done
ancient wraith
ok
white blaze
I'm always checking my manufacturer support for updated drivers, especially on custom builds.
white blaze
run the package you downloaded
ancient wraith
ok
white blaze
it should be closer to 4/26/2021 according to the site
ancient wraith
thank you man
white blaze
hope it works for you

Will it hurt my motherboard if I just turn the psu off?
I did a bios update with just the motherboard and I’m trying to turn everything off and put all the comments on it now

Can I use the userbenchmark tool to compare how my pc runs compared to my mom’s to give my dad an idea of how much faster it runs than hers? Or do the numbers not rly translate?

Did you already OC anything before install?
distant spoke
nope
faint pendant
Did you make sure your ram is compatible with your mobo? Compatibility checker?
distant spoke
Yep the ram works, I was using this same configuration before, I rma'd my mobo
For the same problem
neon anchor
- retry the windows installation, if it doesn’t work then remake the installation media, 2) make sure you’re making partitions properly when you install
distant spoke
Yep I'm waiting on a new usb drive, I suspect that one that I use might be broken
Internally
neon anchor
The usb install media? Yeah
distant spoke
I still don't know why I was having this problem before as well
I would have to wait 30min for bios to boot
neon anchor
Usually the case. That’s why I still keep an older CD with windows 10 on it. That never fails
How old is the ssd? Were you using the same install media for the old mobo?
distant spoke
Yea, but mine has no dvd rom slot lol, I have an old win 10 disk too
The ssd I also warrantied
Because the other mobo killed it
My main ssd was dead, I tried it on another system and it wasn't detected
I created a new windows media installation but it was the same usb
Any idea what that could have been?
I still can't get why I can't even install windows and why it takes so long to boot into the bios, despite not having even touched the new ssd

The whole issue seems very off to me. Is it the same sticks of ram as the old mobo?
distant spoke
yep
It was working fine before
That's why I can't find any support or answers for this
I'm so frustrated lol
neon anchor
Try: take one stick out(turn off unplug first), reboot and see if anything changes, if not put it back and take out the other one. Just a ram test
steep basalt
Anyone know if ECC memory is important or not? I'm getting a mobo that supports it.
neon anchor
You only got 2 sticks right
neon anchor

ECC ram is usually just what servers use and the way it works is weird compared to regular ram. First, any used ECC ram has probably been used heavily (some company’s server room running constantly) but it’s cheap and abundant
neon anchor
Also^ what he said
jagged ember
It does stop errors in ram caused by cosmic radiation though
steep basalt
Threadripper Pro can use non-ECC too right?
neon anchor
Would assume so
steep basalt
mobo for it lists U-DIMM support, which I assume is normal RAM
The Pro is not consumer territory anymore though as it supports up to 2048 GB of RAM.
Its not the same as a Threadripper.
jagged ember
I think it's the same thing, udimm and dimm
neon anchor
Sodimm is laptop
jagged ember
Yeah one is registered and one is unregistered but it's fine
Oh TR pro I see
This might be questions better directed to techies tbh lol
steep basalt
It competes with Intel Xeon
jagged ember
But the dimm stuff im 90% sure of
neon anchor
Yeah that’s getting up to the workstation and server stuff
lapis rune
Do I need this part I don’t think it fits on the back :/
steep basalt
Which is what I want. I want to experience workstation hardware... and the TR Pro is affordable for me.

ye 2 sticks, I tried the ram thing
steep basalt
"8 x DIMM, Max. 2048GB, DDR4 3200/3000/2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 MHz ECC and Non-ECC, buffered and Un-buffered, U-DIMM, R-DIMM and 3DS R-DIMM Memory"
Is what the memory support for this workstation board lists. I assume my current DDR4 sticks should work.
Looks to me like the thing supports just about every form of DDR4 DIMM that exists
neon anchor

Directly to windows support, maybe even reddit. I know you want to get your baby running asap

thks bro, I'll see what other supports I can bother, thanks for the ideas tho
lapis rune
This is how it looks @neon anchor
neon anchor
This is how it looks <@471261129839214592>
I’m assuming it doesn’t fit any other hole configuration on the mobo. What is the mobo anyway?
neon anchor
Does it not go on top here on these offsets? Idk as much about AMD boards
Also the reviews kinda suck but lets try to make it work for ya
lapis rune
Yep
I think the black thing is the bracket?
Seems to have the screw lines
@neon anchor I removed those brackets because I brought a budget cooler
neon anchor
There ya go lol
lapis rune
It had these don’t think I need the others
So the black thing is a backplate right
Don’t need the square thingy
neon anchor
In all the pictures in reviews I see of this board I don’t see that square thing at all, on top or bottom
I have no idea
Maybe mount for water cool setup? Idk
lapis rune
Hmm I’ll just assume the black thing is the backplate
drifting garnet
I dont think you need it but i don't know 100%
steep basalt
Well, you don't 100% need ALL the standoffs on the mobo either but its definitely better to have them all.

@neon anchor bruh, I contacted windows support and they told me the same things you did lol
desert gulch
Nvm I got it
You got the standoff?
