little osprey
#

You'll need a longer Ethernet cord

wicked frigate
#

Wait what does he mean why wired

little osprey
#

Ethernet cord

wicked frigate
#

Ok but

little osprey
#

Plugging you PC directly to the router

potent portal
#

Powerline adapter works too

wicked frigate
#

Don’t I need a modem and router

#

Than I can do all that

wicked frigate
#

Ok so are all these a modem and router combined

#

I was going to get a mesh router too

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

What about a mesh router

#

One plugs I to router

#

And the other one can be plugged into an outlet

#

And than Ethernet to pc

#

I get rn

#

47 mbps

#

Dow also

#

Download and 10 upload

potent portal
#

Simple diagram for reference

wicked frigate
#

Isn’t that like a mesh

#

Router

#

Like the google WiFi mesh

potent portal
#

For a mesh router, you can just do an amplifi like others said but that's a more expensive option

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

But it’s better right

potent portal
#

Each is good in its own way

wicked frigate
#

What are the ways???

potent portal
#

Mesh is good for whole home wireless coverage, powerline is good for pure speed and latency to a few devices

wicked frigate
#

Oh

#

Wait

#

So

#

I use one power line adapter

#

And connect it to the router

#

By the power cable

#

Dm Ethernet right???

potent portal
#

Yes, then the other goes by your PC

wicked frigate
#

I see

potent portal
#

Then you have a wired ethernet connection between them

wicked frigate
#

And now I need to chose which router and modem combined

wicked frigate
potent portal
#

They communicate through the power lines in your house

#

It's better than wireless for latency, I get about 60 ping on most games with mine

wicked frigate
#

I get like 30

#

How I get 60

#

U

#

That’s kinda high

potent portal
#

I mean 60 after accounting for the server processing thousands of requests a second before it sends a reply

#

MMO games

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Now

#

I need help choosing a router

#

And modem combined

#

A good one

#

That support more than 100mbps

#

In case future upgrade

#

In speed

potent portal
#

Normally I advise to get the router and modem separate for several reasons

wicked frigate
#

How do it do that

#

I don’t understand the difference

potent portal
#

I assume you're on coaxial cable lines?

wicked frigate
#

How do I tell

#

I’ll show u

#

That

potent portal
#

Yep coax

wicked frigate
#

Is that good

potent portal
#

It's standard, just making sure you weren't on some weird slow fibre internet

little osprey
#

Whats a good ATX 600-650w power supply under 80 dollars?

wicked frigate
#

Ok so now what

cold sorrel
#

We have fiber optic internet, but are on the lowest tier plan. I'm still trying to talk my way into getting an Ethernet line run to my room.

wicked frigate
#

Same from the router

#

@potent portal

#

Now what

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

This is what I have

#

netgear CG3000DV2

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

Now is that a modem

#

Or router

#

Or combines

#

I’ll get a modem and router separate

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

Oh

#

Ok I di t what that

#

I would like to get a modem and router separate

#

So what modem should I get

potent portal
#

Decent enough unit, up to 1000 Mb

#

Very broad compatibility

#

Motorola makes really good units in general

wicked frigate
#

Is that a good one

#

Or is there a better option

potent portal
#

Better ones will cost a lot more and are ultimately less value for your money

#

You'll never need to worry about a better one anyway until you get closer to 1 Gb speeds

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

How does that cost

#

1gb

potent portal
#

The one I linked is $78

wicked frigate
#

No 1 gb plan

cold sorrel
#

Depends on your service provider. We could get Gigabit, but right now we're on the 100 Megbit plan.

wicked frigate
#

Yah

#

But I want to make sure for future upgrades

#

And it uses a coax cable right

potent portal
#

Just planning for the future yeah, faster coax is getting more standard

#

Yes it's coax

wicked frigate
#

So it will be good for future plan upgrades and speed

potent portal
#

Yep it'll definitely get as much (or more) speed than you're paying for

wicked frigate
#

Alright

#

Now where does the router plug into to

potent portal
#

A lot of providers will account for poor quality modems (like the ones they typically give out) by allocating more speed than you're paying for, a faster modem will take advantage of the extra speeds

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Now what about router

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

I don’t I have wow

#

Ok than where does the router do

#

Go

#

So I plug it into that slot

#

Ethernet

#

Than what

#

Does it have to be next to the modem

potent portal
#

Xfinity is the only internet provider in my complex unless I want DSL or I go for a wireless/satellite plan

#

Which is what I did

wicked frigate
#

After I plugged the router into the Ethernet

#

than what

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

But I can get a long cable

cold sorrel
#

I'm not even sure i could buy a different modem for our fiber internet. We might be stuck with the one the ISP provides.

wicked frigate
#

And put it in my room

#

Than what

#

than the router unit the pc by Ethernet

#

Is that right

#

Is this WiFi 6

wicked frigate
#

I can spend more

potent portal
#

Wifi 6 doesn't matter unless you use devices that support it, which is rare

wicked frigate
#

My budget is less than 200

#

Ok

#

But is thwart I said right above

#

The router than plugs into my pc by a ether cable

#

Ethernet

potent portal
#

The modem connects to the ISP through the coax cable, the router connects to the modem by ethernet, then your devices connect either through wireless or ethernet to the router

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Than what

#

Anything else

#

So does the modem and router have different WiFi thing

#

Than will I need mesh router

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

Like the google mesh routers

potent portal
#

You won't need a mesh router if you get this probably, it's got really good range

wicked frigate
#

Isn’t more antenna the better

#

Ok

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

And is 100mbps good enough to stream and game with multiple devices on

#

And I got a lot than at the problem

#

4 iPads

#

2 phones

#

2 pc

#

1 Mac

#

And more

#

By guests

potent portal
#

The number of devices matters less than the number in use at the same time

wicked frigate
#

Yah listen I have a pc and I pad on same time

#

Than Mac and 2 iPad

#

And 2 phones

potent portal
#

On is one thing, it's mostly idle, I mean in use like streaming video or playing games

wicked frigate
#

Oh

#

I mean twitch

#

YouTube

#

All rhat

#

That

potent portal
#

Up to 8 devices in use like that at once I'd say is good on that router

wicked frigate
#

Ok

potent portal
#

You probably won't even be able to stream video on 8 devices at once on your net speed anyway lol

wicked frigate
#

Oh dang it

#

Ok

#

Listen

#

I try to trouble shoot the limited thing

potent portal
#

I'd say 4 at once on 100 Mb

wicked frigate
#

But it says dns severs couldn’t be found

#

What’s that

potent portal
#

DNS = Domain Name Service

#

It translates domain names like google.com to computer-readable numerical addresses

wicked frigate
#

That’s what pop up

#

And than I can’t do anything

#

I have to reset the moduem and router

#

I order for it to work

#

Than sometimes

potent portal
#

What exactly did you change?

wicked frigate
#

When I am playing a game it somethings kick me out of the gam and says network coenexrnlost

#

Connect lost

#

Wdym

potent portal
#

Like when you were troubleshooting and got the DNS error, what changed?

wicked frigate
#

It just says limited

#

I didn’t change anything

#

Or do anything

#

It just happens randomly

potent portal
#

Hmm, it's possible you could help the problem by switching to the Google DNS server if you're in the US

wicked frigate
#

But I didn’t change anything

#

How do o fix it

#

I use an engender

#

Extender

potent portal
#

Your ISP has a DNS server that the modem will use by default, a lot of the time it's garbage

wicked frigate
#

So will it happen when I get these new items

potent portal
#

Possibly if your ISP auto assigns the DNS settings

wicked frigate
#

How do I fix the issue

potent portal
#

You can fix it easy by just telling the router to use a different server

wicked frigate
#

How

#

Idk how

potent portal
#

Google DNS is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
The how depends on what model you get

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Well why does it kick me it of my game randomly and says network connection lost

#

But than works right after

potent portal
#

Here's what the setting looks like on my router, also a tp-link archer

cold sorrel
#

Wifi just loses signal sometimes. 'Tis majorly annoying.

wicked frigate
#

But mine happens liek every 30-1

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

Yah I’ll get new modem and router

#

Here I’ll show I tomorrow

#

@potent portal

potent portal
#

But the DNS issue points to the ISP, not the router

wicked frigate
#

On my pc

#

But I don’t have a app for mine

potent portal
wicked frigate
#

Liek u see

#

How u have a app

#

I opened to access ur thing

#

I don’t have one

#

How do I log in

potent portal
#

You just type your router's address into your browser

wicked frigate
#

Ok

potent portal
#

The login details are usually printed on the router

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Than what

#

Change dns

#

Server

potent portal
#

The you can go into whatever it calls the internet settings and look for the DNS options, yeah

wicked frigate
#

Than

#

What do I change it to

potent portal
#

Then you can change primary to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4

#

That's the Google DNS

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Will it fix it

potent portal
#

Maybe, at the very least it'll make the net respond faster

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Thx

little osprey
#

Got this, liking it better than the Logitech g604 already

cold sorrel
#

I have a Logitech G600 I love and dread the day it croaks on me.

jagged ember
#

My lask basilisk started double clicking after like 3 months or so lol

#

But I think your mileage may vary

little osprey
#

I bought the 604 on the 17th

#

The scroll wheel started acting up yesterday

jagged ember
#

Did you rma?

cold sorrel
#

Funny enough, the first G600 I bought had one of the side buttons get stuck within a few days of me getting it. Returned it for a replacement G600 that's been going strong since 2016.

jagged ember
#

My g502 has been fine since I got it to replace my basilisk

little osprey
jagged ember
little osprey
#

It had nine lol

#

Almost got the Naga Trinity, but wanted something wireless that was under $100

jagged ember
#

8 with the mouse ones

#

But why swap?

little osprey
#

Cause if I don't like this, I can swap back within 2 weeks of buying this and then I'll get the difference in price refunded

jagged ember
#

Mmm true

little osprey
#

Main reason I went to best buy instead of elsewhere

#

I wanted the Asus chakram, but I couldn't afford it

#

I'll probably wait till the trial for this ends before I decide to get it or not

jagged ember
#

Basilisk is a nice mouse

little osprey
#

I'm also looking at the Logitech Orion keyboard

jagged ember
#

I'll definitely miss the infinite scroll on the g502 and the many buttons compared to basilisk

#

But other than that is good

little osprey
#

Yeah I was stunk between this or the Naga Trinity with it's modular buttons

jagged ember
#

Oohhh

#

The one with the replaceable side button panel

#

Lmao I considered it but then was like, do I really need all those buttons?

little osprey
#

Lol

#

Btw, what's a good full size Razer keyboard under $100?

potent portal
#

I'm not sure that wheel would ever stop unless you lost your fingerprints stopping it

little osprey
#

Lol

#

I'm thinking of the blackwidow, but I'd like something similar to the Logitech orion

marble whale
#

Hey just installed some ram what should happen next?

little osprey
#

Bootup pc @marble whale

marble whale
#

After that do I go to the bios or what?

little osprey
#

I would and turn on xmp/docp

marble whale
#

what's that?

little osprey
#

It enables your ram to run at it's advertised speed instead of default speed

#

If you don't it'll run at 2133mhz

marble whale
#

Its advertised speed is at 1600mhz DDR3

#

4GBS

little osprey
#

Oh ...

#

Then you should be fine to boot normally....I think

#

I haven't used ddr3 so....

potent portal
#

DDR3 might still need XMP

marble whale
#

Ok its my dad's old PC

potent portal
#

It might default to 1066 without XMP

marble whale
#

I3 2 cores

#

when is Windows 11 coming out?

potent portal
#

It's supposed to be announced this week, the 24th

little osprey
#

I might get it

little osprey
potent portal
#

We could get free upgrades from 10 to 11, like when 10 first came out

little osprey
#

I meant hardware upgrade

potent portal
#

I doubt it, if it runs 10 then it should run 11 unless they stick with the TPM and secure boot requirements like the leaked build has

echo vale
#

i dont think so

#

yes exactly

potent portal
#

11 so far looks exactly like 10 but with a new interface

echo vale
#

new interfaceKEKWOO

little osprey
#

Hey Fal, should I get the Logitech Orion keyboard or get a Razer Chroma keyboard?

potent portal
#

You're asking a guy using a 17 year old HP keyboard

#

Peripherals aren't my specialty lol

little osprey
#

Mmm

cobalt path
#

to be more specific. i find logitech to feel very squishy compared to others. almost feels like an overpriced membrane keyboard.

little osprey
#

I like the size of the Orion, but I have a razer mouse so...

spiral flame
#

when is evga midweek madness?

desert gulch
cold sorrel
#

I have a Logitech mouse I'm pretty fond of.

spiral flame

fossil cedar
wicked frigate
#

I am on my modem setting now what do I do?

fossil cedar
#

For what lol?

wicked frigate
#

Umm

#

So I have been having internet issues so when I play a game it kick me out sometimes middle of the match and says newtqr lost

#

And sometimes there is a limited symbol next to my Ethernet

fossil cedar
#

I'd call your isp then

wicked frigate
#

And when I click troubleshoot

#

It says dns sever could be found

#

Someone told me to change the dns server

#

Of the modem

frank stirrup
wicked frigate
#

Is there a way I could fix it

frank stirrup
#

There is no real problem to fix if the dns server could be found

wicked frigate
#

Can I go I to the modem website and change it

frank stirrup
#

change what?

#

ur saying the dns server can be found

#

so why would you change it if it can be found

wicked frigate
#

Look above

#

He told me to change it to googles

frank stirrup
#

Why would you change something thats working tho

#

or do you mean its saying the dns server couldn't be found?

wicked frigate
#

Yah that’s what I mean

#

Sry

#

Sometimes nothing pops up but sometimes it says dns serves couldn’t be found

#

@fallen cosmos if you want a 3rd fan for the front of the pc get a arctic p12 pwn fan, they're like 10$ ish

fallen cosmos
#

pato arent you the one who gave me the part list

#

last time as well

#

looking at intel cpu is on sale

#

still thinking whether i should go for intel

fossil cedar
#

And remember if you go intel

#

Then you gotta cancel mobo as well if you do

fallen cosmos
#

my friend say more core is better

#

im looking at i7-10700k

#

at $259.99

obsidian wigeon
#

More core doesn't always mean better

#

It depends on your use case

fossil cedar
# fallen cosmos im looking at i7-10700k

If you want to just game, the 5600x will be better, although if you want to do more multi tasking, or any other core heavy workloads that would be a better choice

someone recommended it to me

#

uhh, floppa did

potent portal
#

Doing editing or other development?

woeful ember
#

Hi all.
Does anyone have a recommendation, links or things to check on the issue I'm having here with a new build?

I haven't been able to boot. The power supply blinks everything on and off continuously, like a blinker on your car.

MB LED reads "0" which isn't a listed as an error code in the book.

The LED on the MB for "CPU" blinks on with every cycle (I've re-seated the CPU) but the others.. DDAM, BOOT and VGA aren't blinking.

TRX40 Aorus Master
AMD 3970x
AXi1600i
Crucial Ballistix 3600

Any ideas what I've done here?

hallow glen
#

but i have 24gb of ram on mine

#

rn

#

so i thought it would be helpful

potent portal
#

24GB is a bad number to have, 3 sticks I'm assuming so 2 sticks are running dual channel mode and one is in single channel.
Most people don't need more than 16GB, even for streaming and multitasking while gaming.

fossil cedar
hallow glen
#

i just bought it because i needed the extra ram. i was gonna get 32gb but only got 16gb more

hallow glen
#

it*

#

actually its about the same price for crucial ballistix

#

:/

#

like literally exactly the same price

2 sticks is also less strain on the memory controller so it tends to overclock better than 4 sticks with the same total capacity

thats the 0's

#

Guys what’s cable network settings

#

What’s pan switch

#

Ok so fal

potent portal
#

In your modem? Those are best left alone

wicked frigate
#

I am in the network website

#

Now what

potent portal
#

To change your dns settings?

#

I don't know what your interface looks like, they're all different

wicked frigate
#

Yah to fix this limited thing

#

How do I show in

#

So far I hav gotten kick for my game like 5 times

potent portal
#

And it gave the dns error again?

wicked frigate
#

No

#

T didn’t say the litmus thing

#

Limited

#

But it just kick me out

#

Like I can’t move and way to fix it is to unplug the Ethernet cable

#

From the pc

#

And plug it back it but that doesn’t work all the time

potent portal
#

You're probably going to have to talk to your isp to get you a new modem, and if that doesn't work they need to send someone to fix the cable lines

wicked frigate
#

Oh dang ok than

#

I wanna I do get that limited thing somethings

potent portal
#

DNS change probably won't help with disconnects but it can solve not being able to connect at all sometimes

muted patio
#

Just reset modem to factory defaults

wicked frigate
#

How

muted patio
#

That will clear all the DNS settings back to factory etc

wicked frigate
#

Bro I desert the modem like everyone I get the limited sign

#

I reset it everyone I get the limited thing

#

Like from the modem

muted patio
#

Not unplug reset

#

Or power off reset

#

In the modem menu reset to defaults. IDK where it is, check your manual

Do front then, I'd only do 2 fans exhaust tho

tryna decide whether to buy n7 b550 or new ram...

oh i just realized i posted this in the wrong channel

oops

earnest olive
#

i dont think ive ever seen it in stock

steep fern
#

Anyone reccomend a psu for a 9900k and a 3090?

steep fern
#

I have a Ax 860 platinum atm but was told it was not enough

earnest olive
#

whoever told you that it's not enough has no idea what they're talking about

#

i literally ran a 3080 and a 3070 at the same time off of a 650w psu lol

steep fern
#

Oh damm!

#

Ok tysm!

earnest olive
#

granted cpu load was only at 20 watts

#

if it was higher it would have crashed

#

but yeah... 860w platinum for a 9900K + 3090 is definitely enough

steep fern
#

Ok just wanted to double check :D

#

Ty again

earnest olive
#

enjoy your beast system

fossil cedar

#

can confirm antonline bundles are legit

muted patio
#

That one seems to be MSRP prices though

#

Not much of a deal

hushed vortex
#

rip off

#

1400 that more then 3090

muted patio
#

Did you even look at it?

#

It's a GPU, PSU, CPU, KB, Mouse and other things -_-

fossil cedar
muted patio

Kind of, yes

I'm not sure about the G5 though, I think it's new from EVGA

Upgrade question for a friend.
Current pc specs:
1060 max-Q
16gb ram
1.25 tb
unknown CPU
60hz monitor

used pc specs:
i7-10750H 2.6ghz
32 ram
2060
5tb storage
144hz monitor included

Is this used pc worth $800 for the upgrade?
Sorry, my friend doesnt have specific details on parts.

covert flare
#

That's a great value for the price, but the real question is what kind of games is said friend looking to run?

small tinsel
#

let me ask

covert flare
#

Because if it ain't broke, the value isn't the only question.

#

If he has plans for the old PC, whether it's a planned sale or repurpose, I'd say that's a pretty safe buy (given working condition)

#

But if he/she doesn't, and doesn't have a need to upgrade immediately, it's a bit harder to say

small tinsel
#

he said xbox exclusives mostly. So it probably would be fine

covert flare
#

Assuming a decent condition, it's certainly worth the money.

small tinsel
#

@covert flare Perfect! Thank you!

#

Just have the SSD the only drive in the PC and install Windows 10

wicked frigate
#

But don’t I have to erase the 8.1 off the hdd

muted patio
#

No

wicked frigate
#

Maybe by installing this will help me with my limited acesa Ethernet problems

#

Aces s

#

Wait so all I have to do is wire the ssd

#

Than go in bios and????

#

Let me do it rn

#

If I want to erase it what do i d

#

Do

muted patio
#

Unplug all drives except the SSD you want Windows 10 installed to. install windows 10 to it. Plug the other drives back in after you're all done

wicked frigate
#

Ok so

#

What do I press

muted patio
#

You need windows 10 installation media..............

wicked frigate
#

How I do that

Well, I tried starting her up again. Good news, the RAM LED is no longer red. Now it's the Boot LED... I dunno if I should leave it on for a bit and see if it starts into BIOS or not.

fossil cedar

#

I think I may have had the RAM not seated properly yesterday... Now watch me have to pull off the GPU again and check the SSD next. (But I can reconfirm lights and fans are on and working.)

#

Currently getting the rainbow show because I haven't had the chance to install what I need to set the colors.

#

Ok so it’s normal ok

little osprey
#

Okay so my friends pc keeps randomly shutting down, and after it shuts down it wont turn on for about 5 minutes
We already unplugged stuff and plugged it back in
I think it might be the psu (cx550), anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this
The temperatures are low we tried different power outlets already

hidden cradle
#

Can some help me install my cpu cooler?

little osprey
#

So...pretty sure RAM is bad

#

It throws the RAM LED debug light and the PC turns on and off repeatedly

muted patio
#

What CPU and MB?

hidden cradle
#

R5 1600 and b450 tomahawk max ll

cold sorrel
#

Uh... would you believe I forgot to check and make sure the screen I've got attached to the tower was turned on?

I have cpu installed but not the cooler

SOLVED

Should I

#

Can I do this later if I wish

fossil cedar
#

i think so

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Is there a point

#

Of making an account

fossil cedar
#

so you can use the pc? wuuut

wicked frigate
#

I didn’t make one

#

When I used the old windows

#

What would I recommend me to do

U

little osprey
fossil cedar
fossil cedar

are your ram in slots 2 and 4

so from cpu left to right empty, ram, empty, ram?

hidden cradle
#

Could someone help me install cooler

little osprey
#

And I've tried EVERY combination of RAM

fossil cedar
#

welp

muted patio
little osprey

It was working yesterday, that's why I'm sure it's ram and not the slots

fossil cedar

ill hand this off to vintage, too late for me to think atm

What are we working with here? the 10400 B560 build?

Safe mode bios

#

Setting DOCP to default

wicked frigate
#

Hey guys it done installing but I don’t see all my old thing like my games and all that

#

Where would that be

muted patio
#

Ram sticks should both be in the Gray slots

wicked frigate
#

I plugged in the hdd

muted patio
#

FYI

wicked frigate
#

Still do t see it

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Ik

muted patio
#

Well yeah you have to reinstall them all in the new OS

little osprey
#

I was making a CMOS pun Pato

cold sorrel
#

I'm half-tempted to just go ahead install Windows and sort out the ram issue later

wicked frigate
#

So I ah w to reinstall all that

muted patio
#

Yes you have to reinstall all the things to the new OS

#

Drivers, games, all the things

little osprey
#

Went back to safe mode bios

#

Couldn't skip bios

wicked frigate
#

What drivers

little osprey
#

Going to A2

wicked frigate
#

Can u help me

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Fro PC?

#

Also, no selling, trading, advertising, or begging

#

@muted patio put it into A2 and it cycles the power on sequence

muted patio
#

or just one

little osprey
#

One

#

Also, I think I fried my board just now

#

🤦🤦🤦

muted patio
#

how

little osprey
#

Wait....nope

wicked frigate
#

What should I install first

little osprey
#

Accidentally pulled RAM out while it was trying to boot when I thought I shut it off

wicked frigate
#

Chrome

little osprey
#

When you reinstall windows it should download a browser too

#

^vintage

muted patio
#

Both sticks do that?

little osprey
#

Yep

muted patio
#

Even after a CMOS reset?

little osprey
#

Yep

muted patio
#

poop

#

got other ram to try?

little osprey
#

Nope

muted patio
#

More poop

little osprey
#

Also, best thing I ever bought

#

I hope it ain't the motherboard

muted patio
#

Seems like a ram RMA is in order

little osprey
#

I can afford new mobo or ram

little osprey
muted patio
#

Why not?

#

Warranty?

#

anything?

little osprey
#

Traded my MSI mobo for this from a close friend as I needed Bluetooth

#

I did that trade a few weeks back.

#

Worked fine since

wicked frigate
#

@muted patio can u help me when ur free

muted patio
#

Download drivers from your motherboard manufacturer

little osprey
#

Well... Almost fine

wicked frigate
#

Ok

muted patio
#

Honestly seems like a ram issue

wicked frigate
#

How do I check my mobo

little osprey
#

Had a few hiccups trying to get ram above 2133

muted patio
#

I doubt it's a CPU or MB

little osprey
#

Ik it's not cpu

#

Otherwise cpu light would be on, not ram

muted patio
#

not necessarily

#

memory controller is on the CPU

little osprey
#

Well RAM, cpu, and mobo aren't that far from pricing of each other

#

Can't afford either

#

Guess I'm stuck till my new laptop comes in

muted patio
#

Good chance the ram is kaput though

exotic marten
#

What's the issue

cold sorrel
#

got ram issue sorted. now to install windows

little osprey
#

I have 3TB of games downloaded

wicked frigate
#

How can I tell which one is my hdd

muted patio
little osprey
little osprey
cold sorrel
#

i just had to reseat the RAM again

wicked frigate
#

I can’t tell

muted patio
# little osprey ?

Stupid ASUS, should have checked the manual first. A2 is the furthest gray slot to the right

#

I just checked my own board XD

#

Put ram there

little osprey
#

Already did

muted patio
#

Farthest slot to the right

#

from the CPU

little osprey
muted patio
#

Same issues there? Still DRAM light?

little osprey
#

Yep

muted patio
#

Ok

#

Most likely ram is kaput then, odd that both sticks are dead at the same time tho

little osprey
#

Well I bought both at the same time

#

They're part of a kit

muted patio
#

Yeah but still, it should run with an individual stick. Were you tinkering with voltages or anything?

little osprey
#

I set it to docp but that's it

#

I never mess with voltages manually

#

Not even in simulators

muted patio
#

And for the CMOS reset you had power unplugged from the PC for battery removal?

#

Or did you use the pins?

little osprey
#

Powered off, power plug removed from psu, waited 15 minutes, pulleded CMOS battery, waited 45 minutes, plugged back in

muted patio
#

Ah

#

seems like a pretty decent reset then

little osprey
#

Ah well I'll be getting a 11th gen i7 and a 3060 laptop in a few weeks

cold sorrel
#

i'm hopeful i picked the right drive to put Windows on and I didn't just wipe the hdd I backed up all my files on

little osprey
#

And then I can transfer both on my nvmes and my data drive to the laptop

little osprey
cold sorrel
#

I mean, everything is still on the laptop so I can recopy... it would take forever

little osprey
#

@muted patio I DO HAVE SPARE RAM

stoic island
#

Test time

little osprey
#

It's slow as f, but still

cold sorrel
#

but I did pick the drive that said it was unallocated so probably okay

little osprey
#

You're good then

#

Went to bios first try @stoic island @muted patio

Never hurts to ask

little osprey
