3400g does

ruby sentinel
#

400

#

Sorry

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

ruby sentinel
#

lol

obsidian wigeon
#

however i suggest 5600g lol

#

way better cpu

#

zen+ is bleh

ruby sentinel
#

You're a way better cpu

#

That was a compliment.

#

I think.

obsidian wigeon
#

well

#

that did make me chuckle at least

ruby sentinel
#

Good good

desert gulch
ruby sentinel
#

The 5600 can be overclocked?

desert gulch
#

This article was posted today aswell lol

obsidian wigeon
#

and yes

desert gulch
obsidian wigeon
#

all ryzens can be overclocked

#

they're unlocked

#

as long as the board can do it

ruby sentinel
#

Ye

#

I can't wait till August!

#

Watch me be broke.

obsidian wigeon
#

but with 5600g i suggest ocing the igpu

#

that's what makes the most difference in games

ruby sentinel
#

Will ya get the 5k series?

obsidian wigeon
#

nah

#

im living with 3600x

ruby sentinel
#

Ah, okie.

obsidian wigeon
#

not gaming tho it's in a mining rig

ruby sentinel
#

Mining? You're not gamer?

obsidian wigeon
#

i game on my laptop

#

just mine on the rig

muted patio
#

Most of us here mine lol

ruby sentinel
#

Damn. . .

muted patio
#

When we aren't gaming

obsidian wigeon
#

i didn't manage to get that 3070

#

so im stuck with 1660s

ruby sentinel
#

But doesn't that damage the PC?

muted patio
#

Nope

obsidian wigeon
#

nah

#

it's less damaging even

ruby sentinel
#

Well, the 1660 is better for mining though.

#

No?

obsidian wigeon
#

underclocked core

#

less voltage

ruby sentinel
#

You make more money and the rig pays for it's self faster.

obsidian wigeon
#

and no heat cycle as it constantly is under load

muted patio
#

Eh

#

Getting your money back takes months

obsidian wigeon
#

1660 has worse hashrate

#

and well, not like i can find one anyway

#

so i have a 1660s

ruby sentinel
#

So if ya make an extra rig, use it to get your money back and send it to someone that just so happens to live in the us, is that an option?

#

Ya can buy one from stockx or whatever it's called.

#

Or even wish. XD (This is a joke. Don't buy from wish.)

muted patio
#

It's going to take you probably 8-10 months to pay off an entire PC mining lol

potent portal
muted patio
#

Or longer

obsidian wigeon
#

I'm playing the long game

#

yes i bought a pc for mining

#

Bad decision but here it is

potent portal
ruby sentinel
#

Dang. Almost a year.

#

It's okay. I'm patient. UwU

obsidian wigeon
#

I don't mind waiting

ruby sentinel
#

lol

obsidian wigeon
#

I just wish I coulda started mining earlier..

#

When btc was like at its peak

#

That'd give me more money and time

potent portal
#

Yeah if we'd started before December...

ruby sentinel
#

I can right mine off as a academic expense.

obsidian wigeon
#

uh, well

#

no

ruby sentinel
#

I don't care who the IRS sends. I'm not paying taxes.

obsidian wigeon
#

I spoke to dad about the 3070 machine

#

But he took his sweet time

#

So it went outta stock

#

shame

ruby sentinel
#

Dad?

potent portal
obsidian wigeon
#

Yeah, I don't really have money

ruby sentinel
#

Ya talking about Thumper?

obsidian wigeon
#

Dad buys the stuff

ruby sentinel
#

@potent portal
Big words. Smol brain (me).

obsidian wigeon
#

I like how my laptop is much older and slower than my mining rig, ah pff

#

But I can drag around with older games and stuff

tough shell
#

what are signs of a gpu dying?

frank stirrup
obsidian wigeon
#

Artifacts, crashes

ruby sentinel
#

Wait, so you use your laptop for gaming? How much have you made off of your rig?

frank stirrup
obsidian wigeon
#

I've made about 30 so far, was a test

#

And yeah, I don't expect much lol

frank stirrup
obsidian wigeon
#

But yes, I game on my laptop

tough shell
ruby sentinel
#

Tearing

obsidian wigeon
#

That's a gpu issue

tough shell
#

F

obsidian wigeon

frank stirrup
frank stirrup
ruby sentinel
#

Nvm

#

I got confused

frank stirrup
#

those are servers with the same download

ruby sentinel
#

Razer Cortex: Game Booster

#

That's what I was talking about

potent portal
#

That was probably an ad

ruby sentinel
#

Me or. . .

tough shell
#

@frank stirrup so disconnect my pc before running the .exe?

#

from the internet*

frank stirrup
#

Nope boot to safe mode

#

you know how to do that?

tough shell
#

how to do that?

#

nope

frank stirrup
#

use the "from settings" method

tough shell
#

@frank stirrup do I need to run with networking or without

frank stirrup
#

F4

#

normal safe mode

#

nothing extra

tough shell
#

Kk

frank stirrup
#

also stop pinging Ill check this channel

tough shell
#

Kk

#

Now just run the ddu .exe?

frank stirrup
#

Yes

#

extract it all into a folder

#

then run

tough shell
#

Which of these I want checked?

image0.jpg
frank stirrup
#

Wht GPU

tough shell
#

980

frank stirrup
#

tick remove Physx

tough shell
#

Kk

#

Anything else?

frank stirrup
#

nope

tough shell
#

So i want to select GPU and Nvidia, then click clean and restart?

frank stirrup
#

Yes

tough shell
#

Do I click “set windows device installation settings to default”?

#

At all

#

Or just the clean and restart

frank stirrup
#

yes

tough shell
#

K

#

So it restarted my pc, do i need to do anything or is it good to go?

frank stirrup
#

install GPU drivers from nvidia

tough shell
#

Using the geforce thing or right from their site?

frank stirrup
#

Their site

tough shell
#

And with that, is there a reason my second monitor wouldnt be detected?

frank stirrup
#

You uninstalled GPU drivers

tough shell
#

is there a way to test the stability of my drivers now?

#

or just go about my stuff as usual and see if there's issues?

frank stirrup
#

do what you normally do

tough shell
#

kk hopefully its all good now

#

thanks for your help 😄

frank stirrup

fathom shoal
#

Why is the i5 better then the i7

potent portal
#

Which CPUs exactly are you comparing? There could be a number of reasons.

fathom shoal
potent portal
#

Like, are you comparing the i5 11600k to the i7 11700k? Or the i5 10600k to the i7 8700k?

stoic island
fathom shoal
#

Ig the 10400f and idk abt the i7

potent portal
#

Well if you're comparing to the 10700f, the 10400f offers nearly the same fps in games for less cost

#

The 11700... let's not talk about that one. It's not worth the cost, I'll leave it there.

stoic island
#

For fun, let's say i5 10400f against a i7 960, the 10400f absolutely slaughters the i7 960, having more cores, faster cores, better ipc, etc

potent portal
stoic island
#

"i5" against "i7" in general means nothing, has no answer, and not one better than the other

potent portal
#

I know it is, it's just for laughs anyway

stoic island
#

Heh

#

It's fun to think about how little Intel got out of ipc improvements over the last decade

potent portal
#

Especially since according to UBM that i7 960 is better than the 2200G

stoic island
#

Lol

#

But I mean against AMD's generation over generation on Ryzen

potent portal
#

Not even joking, it looks like they HEAVILY weighted the scores to favor memory latency so even though the 2200G beats it in every other metric, the 960 still wins.

stoic island
#

Lol

potent portal
#

For an additional laugh I compared the i7 980 vs the 2200G and the 2400G and apparently the 2400G is slower somehow? And then compared the 3400G and it still loses.

stoic island
#

Lol

potent portal
#

There was a time you could take them seriously, and this is not that time.

tough shell
# frank stirrup yw

welp, crashed again. Good to go now but looks like I might be in line for needing a new GPU soon SadCat

Does anyone know where I can find a very good & highly detailed that is NOT in Video format but Written Tutorial or Guide for Building My Own Desktop PC with Windows? I know somewhat how to do it and my nephew does build PC's so he will help if necessary but I would like a Tutorial or Guide I can go by. I want to Order the Parts from NewEgg and Build a Desktop PC. Thanks ahead of time to anyone that knows where to find a Detailed Written Tutorial or Guide and will share the Link with me.

fossil cedar
#

I'm sure if you google how to build a pc you'll find a few written guides, but video form is more popular as they can show you things better

#

Also majority of people in here know what they're doing and would be happy to help you

obsidian wigeon
#

#

Watching a vid is better tbh

obsidian wigeon
#

this dude loves corsair

#

even the fan is corsair lmao

#

i think arctic rgb fans exists, iirc

#

and is still cheaper

frank stirrup
#

icore 7 processor

#

yes

obsidian wigeon
#

instead of using a nice guide

#

this random dude appears

fossil cedar
obsidian wigeon
#

lmao

frank stirrup
#

FAR superior

misty spear
#

alr thx

fossil cedar
#

Np :)

frank stirrup
#

also the build guide that was sent is NOT great

winter portal
#

@fossil cedar - I have Googled that and I cannot find a GOOD CORRECT Written Guide or Tutorial. Most of them are outdated and crappy. Also, I hate Video Guides/Tutorials, they are a pain, I cannot watch a Video and remember everything in it and the going back in the video to rewatch something repeatedly is quite annoying. I learn better reading and then doing as it says or by Photos.

muted patio
#

It's going to be hard to find a video for your exact build. The manuals that come with your parts would probably be a better resource for building and have pictures?

obsidian wigeon
#

^

stoic island
#

Bit old, but still good

rich helm
#

Ltt POV build guide was fine I think

#

The only part you cant use a manual for is BIOS but for that you can just ask here

blazing aurora
#

bitwit's was good as well

stoic island
rich helm
stoic island
#

And I agree with them, video guides kinda suck to watch and follow >:p

#

But GN made a good nuff article

muted patio
#

Yeah, they're rather part specific

somber dirge
#

I think I picked the wrong time for a new build.

faint forge
#

yeah prices are bad rn

muted patio
#

To get a GPU, yes

#

The rest of the stuff is fine

faint forge
#

somehow i found a gtx 1060 ti for $300 tho

somber dirge
#

I've got a 2070s, so i'm good there. I just want a 5950x for less than $900

muted patio
#

Canada?

#

Or US?

faint forge
#

US for me

ornate solstice
#

So I have an old prebuilt with a i3 8th gen and a b360m bazooka motherboard so I just want a gpu for it, it’s gonna be for like an office

stoic island
#

That's fairly easy nowadays

ornate solstice
#

Any recommendations

somber dirge
#

US for me as well.

muted patio
#

9 AM PST

#

They drop CPU and GPU's there

stoic island
#

AMD drops and Wegg shuffle and Amazon restocks

#

Zen 3 CPUs aren't that hard to get now

somber dirge
#

annnnnd screenshot taken

#

I have a bad memory.

faint forge
#

im tryna do a build over the summer

somber dirge
#

I think I have ddr3 upstairs or something.

muted patio
faint forge
#

got a NZXT h510 case for it

muted patio
#

Repeating Thursdays 9 AM PST 😉

muted patio
somber dirge
#

I'm not going to lie, I've been in the business of buying and reselling items on pallets and I've got 99% of my build completed that way. Insane the things people send back that literally has 0 wrong with them.

faint forge
muted patio
#

Ah, gotcha

faint forge
#

but its gonna be a pretty budget build

#

temps shouldnt be high

ornate solstice
#

So I have an old prebuilt with a i3 8th gen and a b360m bazooka motherboard so I just want a gpu for it, it’s gonna be for like an office. Any gpu recommendations

faint forge
#

idk much about workstations but you should prolly only need like a gtx

#

idk tho

ornate solstice
#

Okay

#

It used to have a gt730 in it but sold it to a friend cause he wanted it bad

#

But now I want a new office pc since we used and old laptop that is no longer working good so I thought might as well fix up my old rig

faint forge
#

nice

#

i rly want to get my build done by around august bc all i have is a chromebook and a 10 year old laptop with 3 gigs of ram

ornate solstice
#

I built my pc in December

#

Bought everything on Black Friday

somber dirge
#

A gtx1050 would probably work, wouldn't i?

#

it*

muted patio
#

It should, if you can find one

ornate solstice
#

Idk much about PCs that’s why I asked I’ll look for one

somber dirge
#

they're out there, but of course $300 is the problem

#

as is with all gpu's

muted patio
#

Yeah and if you find a 1050TI for $100, it's probably one of the scam fake cards

somber dirge
#

100%.

ornate solstice
#

Money isn’t the problem here but I’m not gonna spend money to get a gpu that’s way to op for just a simple office pc yk

somber dirge
#

right, well for an office pc a 1050ti would do perfectly, and you can find them for $220-$340

ornate solstice
#

Okay thanks

#

Also any recommendations for a cpu cooler

#

For my r7 3700x

somber dirge
#

doesn't it come wiht the wraith?

ornate solstice
#

Yeah

faint forge
#

Corsair makes good ones

muted patio
#

Wraith is OK

#

It'll work

somber dirge
#

i had a 3700x and the wraith is a great cooler for air

muted patio
#

It limits boost clocks

#

and it's noisy

faint forge
#

for my build im just using the wraith so i dont have extra expenses

muted patio
#

BUt it works

somber dirge
#

but it does the job

ornate solstice
#

Okay thanks looks like I won’t upgrade then

somber dirge
#

without having to upgrade

frank stirrup
somber dirge
#

Be Quiet coolers are pretty good as well if you're wanting an AIO

faint forge
ornate solstice
#

All I know is that I need a new psu for my build

muted patio
#

For AIO

ornate solstice
#

Cause it’s not strong enough for what I have

muted patio
#

Arctic Freezer 2, EK and Lian Li Galahad are top of the pack

frank stirrup
somber dirge
ornate solstice
#

I was told to get a 750w psu for my build with a 5700xt and r7 3700x

#

I currently have a 600w

frank stirrup
muted patio
#

Probs be fine

faint forge
ornate solstice
#

It crashes while playing games

muted patio
#

5700XT has terrible driver support, that's not an uncommon issue

#

They also run hot so check temps while playing

#

Or take the side panel off your PC while gaming to see if it fixes it

ornate solstice
#

Yeah it gets pretty hot sometimes

#

That’s with the panel off

muted patio
#

oh

ornate solstice
#

But I know it’s a psu problem

frank stirrup
faint forge
#

lol

#

aight im gonna go play some games, have a nice day guys

frank stirrup
ornate solstice
#

Hmm okay

frank stirrup
#

What are temps like?

#

junction and also core

ornate solstice
#

I don’t remember it’s at my office and I don’t feel like leaving my house today

#

It’s only 5 mins away but still

frank stirrup
#

what is it roughly?

little osprey
#

Haii haiiShibaheart

ornate solstice
#

Hmm maybe around like 70-80

frank stirrup
ornate solstice
#

Exactly how I know I need a new psu

frank stirrup
#

thats completely normal

#

Drivers more likely

ornate solstice
#

I’ve talked to many people they’ve all said psu since I’ve checked drivers and everything

frank stirrup
#

does the whole pc crash to a shut down or to a freeze

ornate solstice
#

To a shut down

frank stirrup
ornate solstice
#

That’s fair

frank stirrup
#

Could you please go to your pc and view event viewer?

ornate solstice
#

Event viewer?

frank stirrup
#

to pinpoint why the crashes are happening

frank stirrup
#

and a reason for em

ornate solstice
#

Okay let me see if anyone’s at the office

#

We’re in luck there is someone there

somber dirge
frank stirrup
#

or under load

#

@somber dirge

ornate solstice
#

Okay so he opened event viewer

#

Now what

frank stirrup
#

expand windows logs

Okay now what

frank stirrup

frank stirrup
#

Ok so now there are 5 things we can do

#

type power set in your Start Menu search bar, then select Choose a power plan.

Now, select Choose what the power buttons do, followed by Change settings that are currently unavailable.

Uncheck Turn on fast start-up and hit Save changes.

#

1st thing is that

ornate solstice
#

Okay he just did it

frank stirrup
#

Ok so 2nd thing

#

Type command prompt in your Start menu search bar, then right-click the best match and select Run as administrator. (Alternatively, press Windows key + X, then select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.)
Next, type chkdsk /r and press Enter. The command will scan your system for errors and fix any issues along the way.

#

After that

#

Type Command Prompt (Admin)in the Start menu search bar, then right-click and select Run as administrator to open an elevated Command Prompt.
Type the following command and press Enter: DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Wait for the command to complete. The process can take up to 20 minutes, depending on your system health. The process seems stuck at certain times, but wait for it to complete.
When the process completes, type sfc /scannow and press Enter.

@shrewd fjord yours is more realistic but needs work, aios not needed for i5, also 120mm aios waste of money, the motherboard bad, a b560 board is wanted, ram is slow,

🤔

What card?

#

Also why lol

green jacinth

Heat just swamps there lol

It's a gigabyte 1660 to windforce OC 2x

It exhausts heat where the pipe is near

Nah what temps you getting?

fossil cedar

1660 aint give a lot of heat

4000X but a mesh front instead of the glass

3 front intake, 1 extra intake infront of the cpu cooler and an exhaust behind it

very thin heatsink

#

sounds about right

fossil cedar
#

Really?

#

Nacl whats your fan curve

#

For gpu

green jacinth
#

It's all default

fossil cedar
#

That would be more worth while imo

green jacinth
#

The GPU on idle is rn 50

#

The fan don't move unless it's under load or being used

fossil cedar
#

Do you have msi afterburner?

green jacinth
#

Downloading it rn

fossil cedar
#

Yeah if you up the fan curve that's probs more worth while imo

green jacinth
#

You got a profile I can preset it to?

fossil cedar
#

just open up the fan curve thing in setting

Its a 1660 ti that runs 70 solid @ 98%

Under 90c on stress test is fine

Gaming should be under 70 in most games

#

Better than a 7400 any day

frank stirrup
#

Ive seen my cpu temps go to 104C lol

frank stirrup
strong rose
#

a CPU temperature should play around 75-80 degrees celsius when gaming

frank stirrup
#

compare it with current gen

#

11600k far better value than 11700k

strong rose
#

if lower its better

robust lake
#

80 is a bit high gaming

green jacinth
#

Yea but it was the fastest available for me 😉

frank stirrup
#

11600k still better

Out of stock

11600k with fast ram beats 11700k with slow ram

like people buying the 2080ti but 1 week later got the 3090 coming out

frank stirrup
green jacinth
#

Wanted to get a 11600k but that would restock like

strong rose
#

well rn no problem due to shortages

green jacinth
#

Almost a month later

frank stirrup
#

Just because the 3090 came out doesnt mean the 2080ti got worse overnight

strong rose
#

i know

green jacinth
#

Running this with 16gb of ddr4 @ 3200mhz

frank stirrup
green jacinth
#

Needed LPX since the cpu cooler I wanted to put in didn't clear it

strong rose
#

but they payed 999+ for 2080 ti and the 3070 is on par/ worse/better in some games and for 499$ if there was no shortage

green jacinth
#

But then that didn't end up working with the Mobo shrouds so

frank stirrup
#

what cooler

strong rose
#

there was warnings the rtx 30s was coming out but people still spent all of this now that we look back it was a good deal that they got it then due to the shortage

what does ram have to do with cpu temps lmao

Rip. For sure a gpu issue sadge

#

Thats 2 grand I dont have :/

#

best way to get a new one is trying to get one through a shuffle you think?

earnest olive
#

get a gt 1030 or something like that for now

#

will still be able to play league at 144 fps

#

my laptop's igpu (10750H, UHD 630) can run league at 720p low 144 fps without overclocking

#

gt 1030 is significantly better and should be able to do 1080p144 or better

#

@tough shell

#

you can find them used for fairly cheap still since they are obviously of zero interest to miners

#

being considerably newer than other cards in the $100 area is a nice bonus, you might be able to get higher performance going for an older card but it won't have driver support anymore, will be far less efficient, and might just die on you again

tough shell
#

are 1030's actually findable?

earnest olive
#

yeah I have seen some on r/hardwareswap

#

it's good enough to be a holdover while you look for something better

ruby sentinel
#

I was lied to!

#

The 5600 is Vega 7, not 8.

earnest olive
#

you could also try to sell your 10900f and grab an 11700K and use integrated

#

some people have been parting those out of prebuilts for cheap

tough shell
earnest olive
#

just laying down some inexpensive options while you play the waiting game

queen dagger
#

the 5900x/5800x/etc. dont have integrated graphics, correct?

earnest olive
#

they do not

queen dagger
#

just g?

earnest olive
#

yes

queen dagger
#

thats what i thought, just wanted to mak sure

#

thanks

earnest olive
#

also sadly the 5600G/5700G/etc. are gimped in the cpu department

queen dagger
earnest olive
#

compared to the non-g counterparts

#

they have half the cache

queen dagger
#

ouch

ruby sentinel
#

Gimped!

#

?*

earnest olive
#

so it's hard to recommend buying 5700G for a dgpu system just to have igpu for fallback/diagnostics

#

whereas for intel buying non-F even when pairing with a dgpu can be a good idea

#

since F and non-F are otherwise the same

#

I just want ryzen to make high end non-gimped desktop cpus with like, vega 1

#

I don't need to be able to game on it

ruby sentinel
#

Still have no idea what gimped is.

earnest olive
#

I just want to be able to boot and run basic diagnostics without a dgpu

queen dagger
#

anyways, does anyone know any ways to find a GPU at a reasonable price? I have a ASUS TUF 3080 planned, and there out of stock everywhere (duh)

earnest olive
#

due to having half of the cache

ruby sentinel
#

Ohhh

earnest olive
#

sad

ruby sentinel
#

So the G is bad?

earnest olive
#

I would like a 5700G if it wasn't gimped

#

it's not necessarily bad

ruby sentinel
#

I should get X and wait to buy a 3070?

earnest olive
#

if you intend to use the igpu to game it's great

#

but it's not like Intel where i7-11700K and i7-11700KF are the same thing other than one having igpu

ruby sentinel
#

You lost me at hello.

earnest olive
#

for Intel you can buy i7-11700K with no gpu and put in a gpu later and your cpu will not be gimped

#

for AMD you can buy a 5600G with no gpu but when you later put in a gpu your cpu will be weaker than 5600X

ruby sentinel
#

So. . . G bad?

earnest olive
#

granted it's not so bad that the 5600G/5700G is unusable or even bad or anything

ruby sentinel
#

G not game?

earnest olive
#

just potentially misleading

ruby sentinel
#

Note to self. Read more computer stuff to understand people.

earnest olive
#

cutting a corner to meet lower price point

ruby sentinel
#

I just want to game and hopefully some day be able to buy a GPU at MSRP

#

But those days may be far from today.

hey guys

#

i have a tomahawk b450 max and i see a red light on "CPU" here

#

usually people who have that cant get past POST or something because the CPU is seated improperly, but my cpu seems to be fine

#

i would send an image but i dont have perms

#

im not sure if its something i should be concerned about

#

it might be useful to know that i have a ryzen 9 5900x installed into the tomahawk b450 max

#

i did update the bios but maybe i need to reupdate?

fossil cedar
sand tree
#

i tried reseating ram and it seems to still show the light

#

i might try to reupdate bios and see if that helps

#

i mean it hasnt bothered me too much i just dont know if i should be worried about it

fossil cedar
#

But yeah it's v weird

sand tree
#

oh actually i dont think i did that

fossil cedar
#

Mb try that if there is one?

sand tree
#

yeah ill see if that works

fossil cedar
#

Usually there's 1 for a b450 in my experience

sand tree
#

thanks for your help 😄

fossil cedar
#

Np

#

Hope it helps for some reason lol

sand tree
#

yeah i decided to just update the bios to the latest version before i did anything else

#

and that seemed to fix it

#

also thought id show my build haha

fossil cedar
#

Nice

#

They oreos XD

#

What gpu and ram that be if you don't mind me being nosy

sand tree
#

trident z neo 3600, and msi gaming x nvidia 2060 super

#

ik a 5900x and 2060 super dont really make sense

#

but the cpu was a steal

#

i got it from someone locally brand new for only $480 USD

#

i thought that was amazing

fossil cedar
#

Nice

#

That's just a tiny bit more than 5800x nice

sand tree
#

yeah i was so happy when i got it

#

it runs very well

no one is selling that for less than $600 USD right now

sorry to bother yall but is there anyone who can help me with upgrading my graphics card my computers an older build i got from a friend and i dont know what will be compatible with it any help would be appreciated

fossil cedar

#

one moment and ill have the specs listed

#

cpu- AMD Athlon X4 860K

fossil cedar
#

Ohh jeez

little osprey
#

ram 16gb ddr3

#

loll

fossil cedar
#

I'd upgrade your whole pc most likely

#

What's the graphics card?

little osprey
#

nvidia geforce gt730 1023 mb

#

motherboard is a MSI A88XM GAMING

fossil cedar
#

Ahh yeah I'd upgrade whole pc

#

What's your budget?

little osprey
#

400 i know its abysmal

fossil cedar
#

Ehhh hmmm

#

Best bet is saving a small bit more

#

Are you in the US?

little osprey
#

yea im in the us and i appreciate your help anyways

#

sorry for a random question but how much would i need to spend to play a game like gta 5

fossil cedar
#

What power supply do you have?

#

And it's not from a prebuilt is it?

little osprey
#

just a sec and ill see no its not a pre built i

fossil cedar
#

Should be able to reuse then

little osprey
#

would it be easier to take a picture of the inside?

#

the power supply has a shield around it im trying to figure out how to see what it is

fossil cedar
#

Should be okay for a non gpu build anyway

#

You can upgrade later if you can add a dedicated gpu

#

If you use same case and power supply

#

29 over budget but worth the extra 29

little osprey
#

I cant attach a file lol I have a case it's a little smaller than most I may have to just wait and save a little more

fossil cedar

I'm wondering if the case is to small

#

Seems cramped but I dont need the disc drive

fossil cedar
#

Dw the case should be big enough

#

The board i have should fit

#

Worst comes to worse, don't use a case for a bit and save up 50$

little osprey
#

Wow that's awesome so what should I salvage from my current build the power supply,ssd,hard disk drive?and that's it

fossil cedar
#

Yeah and case

little osprey
#

You literally made all the frustration I had dissapear lol your amazing thank you

fossil cedar
#

No problem :)

little osprey
#

I'm sure I'll be back on here for help to build it I'm still learning and dont wanna screw up lol

Happy to help :)

#

Btw just make sure windows is on the ssd and not the hard drive

little osprey
#

I'll have to get help with that later lol no idea how to partition a ssd and I gotta get some rest but thank you again you were s huge help

fossil cedar
#

Whichever one is C drive has windows on it

little osprey
#

It's on the hard disk drive I know that much my games are really the only thing on the ssd

fossil cedar
#

Ahh well you can either clone the hard drive to your ssd, or the easier better way probs is reinstalling windows onto the ssd

#

Which i would do asap

#

Makes your experience a lot faster

yep I messed up

fossil cedar

Just built a pc and it is not turning on....? Any help?

#

I have led lights on mother board and GPU

frank stirrup
#

which gpu and mobo?

little osprey
#

RTX 2060 and Asus x570 Pro

frank stirrup
#

got a little drunk

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

I can yes

frank stirrup
#

also what CPU u got in there?

little osprey
#

5800x

frank stirrup
#

Have you updated the bios?

#

to support the 5800x?

little osprey
#

havent touched the bios bud

frank stirrup
#

Then you need to update the bios

little osprey
#

cannot get into bios? So flash it with the button?

frank stirrup
#

Yep

#

format a pendrive to FAT32

#

extract the zip to it

#

plug in to the back

little osprey
#

cool on it.

frank stirrup
#

and press button

muted patio
#

Not just extract the zip, take the BIOS file out of the folder and put on the USB drive. BIOS may not read the file if it's in a folder

frank stirrup
#

Ahh yep shoulda mentioned root directory

little osprey
#

thanks guys. Just to confirm my latest bios is a beta so go for the one before?

frank stirrup
#

Yep

#

Version 3604

#

is what you want

little osprey
#

No joy, Bios flash is not working 😦 no LED. Have reanmed the file etc. Any other trouble shooting guys?

muted patio
#

Using the right USB port?

#

Did you rename the BIOS file?

#

X570 pro yeah?

little osprey
#

yes to all bud

muted patio
#

Which exact X570 motherboard? Prime X570 Pro?

little osprey
#

Tuf Gaming bud

muted patio
#

Tuf Gaming pro, got it

#

BIOS version you should be using is 3603.

little osprey
#

Thats what i downloaded dude

muted patio
#

File name should be TGX570RW after renaming yeah?

little osprey
#

correct

muted patio
#

What size is your flash drive and is it FAT32?

little osprey
#

size? as in GB? its 32

#

3.0 i think

muted patio
#

Have a smaller one? like 8-16GB?

little osprey
#

I dont think so. I can buy one

muted patio
#

Which USB port did you use?

little osprey
#

one on the MOBO says BIOS

muted patio
#

The one at the top of the USB-C stack?

#

You formatted the USB stick as FAT32?

#

What Diagnostic LED"s are lit up on the motherboard when you try and boot, DRAM and CPU?

little osprey
#

thats where i put the usb stick at that format. Where are the diagnostic LEDS bud?

frank stirrup
#

are you absolutely sure you formatted to FAT32

muted patio
#

4 LED's

#

Just above the ATX power connector

little osprey
#

I will double check but pretty sure

little osprey
muted patio
#

So out of the 4 lights that are there, just the CPU is lit?

frank stirrup
#

If only CPU is lit than it is the bios

little osprey
#

I have no 4LEDS at all next to the RAM

#

Only light on the GPU itself and back of the MOBO

muted patio
#

So when you boot none of the diagnostic lights come on at all?

#

They don't cycle as you try and boot?

little osprey
#

nothing at all.

frank stirrup
#

Ok so now

muted patio
#

That's not good

#

Time to check all your power connectors

frank stirrup
#

So do fans spin?

little osprey
#

no fans spin

muted patio
#

Oh

#

we have bigger problem

frank stirrup
#

check motherboard power

#

cable

muted patio
#

Ya

#

24 pin ATX power

#

8 pin CPU Power

frank stirrup
#

were they spinning before the attempted bios flash?

muted patio
#

Power switch connection

#

The only power connections I'd have hooked up right now are the 24 pin ATX power and 8 pin CPU power connector. Unplug GPU, drives, etc and just have those
