You cannot spend less than 7$ on a lunch???

potent portal
#

I could buy a cheap double cheeseburger for like $3 but they're so tiny...

#

If I use a coupon I can get breakfast for $5

fossil cedar
#

Bruh

#

I can get a chicken fillet roll in the middle of Dublin (most expensive) for like €4.50 max so like 5$ ish

#

It's like a proper baguette too

potent portal
#

California problems, we have some of the highest cost of living in the world

violet crown
#

Yeah you guys are moving up to WA state and making housing at half a million the low end

potent portal
#

Yet there's still more people than there are houses for them. The fires burning whole towns and cities isn't helping either.

violet crown
#

Damn straight we have winter... and hell/construction

#

Those are the seasons

#

When the median rent is higher than the average mortgage in the rest of the country there's problems

#

Texas is a common exodus spot yeah

#

The cities are more like cali

#

2bed 1 bath rent went from $1300 up to $1800-2300 this year

#

Sounds about right

#

I'm in the bad neighborhood and I'm paying $1500

#

Slap on 40% increase with your minimum wage increase going up by 3%... have fun catching up

potent portal
#

Getting a little too political for my liking so I'll duck out

#

I do plan on leaving first chance I get but I can't save enough to move exasperated

#

Yeah they're still little so hard to move, especially with mom being afraid of flying and she's set to take over a business for her aging boss

#

I just got a government job so I might be able to transfer later easily, but other things are still tying us down

#

I've been here most of my life, except when I was in the military

#

Good case, which one are you replacing with?

#

I need a new case too so I can do the custom loop I want, considering the torrent once they figure out the hub issue

#

If not the torrent (which I like for the fill ports) prob 5000d

ill just post in general

potent portal
#

That d15 is WAY overpriced

#

And make sure the GPU you end up getting fits in the Mini C

#

Then don't spend more than the best liquid cooler

potent portal

#

true

#

wait

#

is it the affected model

They all are affected unless it's one of the new ones with the lowered OCP limit

put an au. before pcpartpicker and watch the price double

Not exactly what makes a product bad but go off

frank stirrup
#

yep

winged lion
#

no source should be needed for that. it's pretty obvious

frank stirrup
#

can you prove using facts and sources that they dont get paid fairly?

#

lmao

winged lion
#

how else are they able to mass produce their products...

#

think about it

frank stirrup
#

large factories and automation in processing

vague oracle
#

Wages average around at 57k with the top10% being at 100k

#

At Hynix semiconductor manufacturing America

#

And they just raised wages by 8.07% this year

still roostBOT
#
Aegis#5729 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

winged lion
#

automation? that stuff is expensive

vague oracle
#

Pretty much every factory has it now

frank stirrup
#

and the products that come off the line arent being handed off freely either

vague oracle
#

Big investment, even bigger returns

winged lion
#

well, it's more like half-and-half

frank stirrup
#

Aegis im yet to see a shred of fact or proof in ur arguments

winged lion
#

regardless. the sn550 is still a good budget ssd for anything that doesn't deal with a lot of large files

frank stirrup
#

if you cant provide either please dont argue

tight sorrel
frank stirrup

having said that, I can see why you still recommend it

what is the cheapest and best cooler for i7-10700kf
is the cooler master hyper 212 good enough?

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Which NZXT aio has the heatsink where you can put images onto it or even view the temps on the heatsink?

winged lion
#

z-series.

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Hmmm I only need a 120 or 240

#

Dang it is the z

fossil cedar
#

No

little osprey
#

Z63 240mm is $250

fossil cedar
#

Don't ever get a 120mm aio

little osprey
#

It's only a 8th gen i3

fossil cedar
#

Just get the 240mm it's not much more anyway (or at least shouldn't be)

little osprey
#

And it's a request from my brother do... But yeah at that price I might as well do a custom loop

little osprey
#

He's not getting a z series next cooler

#

Why what?

#

Liquid cooling an i3-8?

fossil cedar
#

On an 8th gen i3

little osprey
#

It's a start for him, he'll upgrade down the line

#

It's my school desktop rn

fossil cedar
#

Just get them a gammaxx 400 or id cooling se 224xt or vetroo v5

little osprey
#

But yeah no, might go enermax or Id-cooling

little osprey
#

Go a enermax 240

fossil cedar
#

Meh

#

I wouldn't

#

Arctic 240mm is like 80$

little osprey
#

I'm running an enermax on my 7 3700 for a year and a half no, no issues

#

And same for the enermax 360

#

It's $85

fossil cedar
#

Mkay

obsidian wigeon
#

I rather prefer the quality on arctic

#

Besides their liquid freezer ii aios comes with 6 years warranty

obsidian wigeon
#

Nah

#

Actually 6

#

Extended to 6

#

Not on top of 2

fossil cedar
#

Ahh

#

Sadge

#

Thought it was 8

obsidian wigeon
#

8 would be great

#

But 6 is still a long time kek

fossil cedar
#

Yeah indood

winged lion
#

@frank stirrup tbh i apologize, i should do more research before making claims like that

#

after looking at mushkin's manufacturing job rating doesnt actually look that bad

B550 boards are a lot better

if you're just looking for someone to agree with you you're in the wrong place

#

morning pato

fossil cedar
#

@cerulean root get a b550 msi pro vdh wifi for budget

#

Morning shroom

earnest olive
#

that's the exact board I linked that guy yesterday LOL

fossil cedar
#

Some people just don't listen

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fossil cedar
#

XD

earnest olive
#

I don't even see any valid reason to become fixated on that board

#

youtube video from 2018???

#

it's not particularly good looking

jagged ember
#

B450 was good like until b550 came

earnest olive
#

lacks several modern features

little osprey
#

anyone have any experince with the amd a10 chip?

earnest olive
#

outdated chipset

earnest olive
#

it's worth about $5

little osprey
#

lmaoooooooo

earnest olive
#

...why?

little osprey
#

idk tbh

#

i like the price point thol

#

lmaoooo

jagged ember
#

What

little osprey
earnest olive
#

find a used ryzen 3 3200g for $100

#

will run circles around that piece of ewaste

little osprey
#

ok

earnest olive
#

that a10 chip is so bad you will feel it holding you back on modern websites

#

it's built on an architecture that was so bad that it almost bankrupted AMD

#

until ryzen came out and saved them

jagged ember
#

Fx series

#

Never forget

cerulean root
#

Ima check, if it is that prolly reason i dident go 4 it

earnest olive
#

if you must go with atx

#

there are cheap b550 atx boards too

jagged ember
#

B450 is just outdated, period

earnest olive
#

even if you're a looks > performance person which you clearly seem to be

jagged ember
#

I only use it cause I bought it about 2 years ago

earnest olive
#

the b450 tomahawk max has no argb headers

#

lol

#

I bought it for my first build based off of youtube videos

#

but it was okay cause b550 didn't exist yet

#

yeeted it into a flip and upgraded to a b550 aorus elite no regrets

#

onboard audio on the b450 tomahawk max is surprisingly bad at the price point

#

other boards there carrying at least ALC1200

#

I went from ALC897 (b450 tomahawk max) to ALC1200 (b550 aorus elite) to ALC1220 (b550 steel legend) and each one was actually a noticeable step up

#

I have full confidence I would pass a blind test

celest horizon
#

$80 b450 is still the way to go for super budget imo

earnest olive
#

disagree tbh

#

if you wanna go super budget b450 pick up a used one for $40

#

no point spending $80 on b450

celest horizon
#

I meant used yeah, didn't know they were that cheap already

earnest olive
#

if you're going super budget motherboard quality isn't very important since you're probably not running CPU or ram that's going to really push it

earnest olive
#

was tempted to pick it up for an APU build

#

but I don't wanna build any new PCs until I sell what I have

#

I have an srm-01b-450 that's been sitting around that I want to put to work

#

would be a great board to pair with a 3200g/3400g

celest horizon
#

What are 3600 going for on hwswap

earnest olive
#

like 150 for the cheap ones

#

not that low but not many people selling used 10400s

#

10400s getting sold for 130-140 when they're there

#

lol someone sold one for 135 shipped to canada

#

they ate a big loss on that one

#

probably at least $20 shipping

celest horizon
#

I want to buy reaper's 8086k lol, has one new in box

earnest olive
#

ooh

#

that box is a nice collector's item

celest horizon
#

Those things sell for $200 ebay sometimes

earnest olive
#

I saw a bnib 8086k $200 as well

#

couldn't justify it though

celest horizon
#

And if it's un-delidded, pretty hard to degrade

#

I'd run it in my m9a, once I un-bork the bios

earnest olive
#

I was thinking about upgrading the 6600k + z170 gaming m5 my friend gave me to coffee lake

celest horizon
#

vrm's won't catch fire?

earnest olive
#

but the problem is that the 6600k is delidded and not resealed with only the socket holding it in

#

so it would be hard to sell lol

celest horizon
#

Just use some silicone rtv

earnest olive
#

not prime95

#

hard to find info on the exact vrms but it's 6 phase ISL something with doublers

little osprey
earnest olive
#

funny how these skylake era mobo reviews basically didn't give a crap about mobo vrms

#

guess nothing in skylake gen had significant power draw though

#

nowadays detailed vrm information is a big focus LOL

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

it's got decent looking heatsinks though and 12 phases of even the most basic vrms shouldn't be too bad

#

I'm sure it could run an 8700k in gaming without frying itself

#

my z370 extreme4 looked worse on the heatsink front but ran the 8700k fine as long as you didn't ask it to run prime95

#

would hit vrm throttling about 30 minutes into that

#

it's amazing seeing every single review either not mention vrms or just gloss over it with "it has cool heatsink and 12 phases" without elaborating further

#

even the tech spec page doesn't mention it lol

celest horizon
earnest olive
#

sadly the board I have isn't on it

celest horizon
#

Just test 150w heat load and measure back of board temp for a rough estimate of fire potential, lol

earnest olive
#

mm

celest horizon
#

Unless the power stages have temp sensors

earnest olive
#

not that hard to push an 8700k to almost double that

#

on ambient

#

i'd probably have to mod it just to see 150w though

#

haven't been able to get a 7700K that high

#

also don't really want to pull my 7700K out of the board it's in cause it's also delidded without reseal

#

and i think i'm running out of LM

cerulean root
#

MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard this does have bios flash?

#

im considering

earnest olive
#

yes

cerulean root
#

4 pricee

#

ooo

#

hmmmmm

earnest olive
#

microatx boards also look fine in atx cases as long as you do the cable management correctly

#

imo routing front panel cables like this looks much better than using the bottom holes for microatx

hazy wadi
#

Route em behind the mobo

You supposed to pierce the back of the mobo to get them through xD

anyone know where the issue is? so i have a 4000x case and the rgb fans that it comes with isnt lighting up but the same exact fans that i bought using the same controller is lighting up

the issue is the 4000x case

sell the corsair fans 🙏

fossil cedar
#

Ehh rgb is a mess imma just dip out of this one, kinda dont go near with 10ft pole

earnest olive

corsair rgb specifically

#

I like standardized rgb

I'll stay far away from corsair

ya it went perfectly with other build but this one

#

what a mess.

Is custom water-cooling worth doing?

inland parrot
#

I dont see anything

fossil cedar
#

400$ give or take

earnest olive
#

if you have to ask the answer is no

tawny violet
#

More of a statement value (along with I assume cooler temperature, but not that much cooler compared to price)

fossil cedar
#

Just get an aio and a good airflow case

earnest olive
#

aios are good enough

#

custom loops are more for the looks or if you really wanna pay $500 to squeeze out the last 2 degrees

#

or run direct die kit

inland parrot
#

@earnest olive @fossil cedar

earnest olive
#

what

#

oh god

#

are you running 1.366v manual oc

#

oh god please stop

#

reset bios right now

#

and don't overclock again until you do some research

#

you are in the extreme danger zone already

inland parrot
#

I am not overclocking

#

It was set like that

earnest olive
#

why does it say 46.5 cpu ratio then

inland parrot
#

Idk

fossil cedar
#

I'd clear cmos anyway

earnest olive
#

oh

fossil cedar
#

Then go back in and enable xmp and pbo and leave it

earnest olive
#

you clicked cpu auto oc

#

turn it off

#

please for the love of god turn it off

fossil cedar
#

Ohh no

#

Ohh god

earnest olive
#

I don't understand why people don't make a bigger fuss out of msi auto oc

#

it's stupidly dangerous

fossil cedar
#

Aye

#

Like why even make it

#

That's what pbo is lmao

#

At least for Ryzen 3000 and up

earnest olive
#

damage to the cpu can happen in mere minutes at that voltage

fossil cedar
#

Bets they've been running that for months with 2666?. Cringe

earnest olive
inland parrot
#

Better

earnest olive
#

no

#

turn the CPU auto oc off

#

seriously

#

turn

#

it

#

off

inland parrot
#

How do i turn it off

#

the CPU button on the top left

turn it off

scroll up on the previous screen

I didn't see it at the top so I thought they moved it into advanced dram configuration for some reason

inland parrot
stoic island
#

alright good

#

just needed to check what profile 1 was

snow wasp
#

Wait 1.45v is normal for 5800x right? Pbo enabled

stoic island
#

since profile 1 and 2 are the same thing this time, that's fine

stoic island
#

1.45v manual will prob degrade the chip to hell

#

pbo prob fine

earnest olive
#

1.45v on pbo is safe as long as you have those settings on auto

stoic island
#

pbo generally just idles at a really high voltage

#

under load it'll go down

earnest olive
#

making those settings anything besides auto disables the built in silicon protection

#

yes, 1.45v manual would be able to damage your processor in less than a minute on the right load lol

Would change motherboard for aorus elite ax for personal preference, but gaming edge wifi works fine

#

Bios flashback on the motherboard means you can update the bios without needing another chip, which would make the warning unnecessary @little osprey

little osprey
#

I asked for WiFi integrated so I don’t have to get a WiFi card so they changed it to that for me and oh okay

queen dagger
#

but yeah is there anything else that should be changed?

stoic island
#

Case is personal preference, lancool ii mesh is good, but I like td500 mesh is better, but both cases are good

#

Don't need to change much else for you @queen dagger

Can't see that much else you're buying anyways

yay

@queen dagger wait do you have the GPU yet or

Don't forget you can't display without a GPU or iGPU

#

Soooo

queen dagger

mhm

stoic island

Might want to get a GPU first

#

And also as a reminder, when prices settle down, 4080 probably came out already

Hello everyone, I decide to buy ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO LGA 1200 Intel Z590 . Beside that I’d like to install 2 Corsair M600 pro which it’s a kind of M.2 2210 PCIe.

You probably don't need gen 4 drives anyway, what are you using them for?

potent portal
#

You really don't need gen 4 then, in gaming most gen 4 drives are slower than good gen 3 drives

#

That's one of the best gaming drives because the random read/write speeds are godly

It beats the Samsung 980 Pro, one of the best gen 4 drives

Chipset, lan, and VGA driver i assume

analog pulsar

Why vga

potent portal
#

Does your processor model have a "f" at the end?

#

If not you have integrated graphics that you should use instead of the dGPU when you're mining

kind vortex
#

it for the cpu that dont have gpu

inland parrot
#

Is this a good adpater for wifi

potent portal
#

Archers are usually good yes

kind vortex

just buy a motherboard with wifi

#

Just post a link to the listing instead lol, also tplink ax SKUs have tons of issues, google the model number and see

analog pulsar
#

You want me to use dgpu or igpu

potent portal
#

iGPU for display when you're mining, so your dGPU can get an extra 0.2MH

Skip it then

Mobo site drivers aren't usually the latest, only the tested and verified versions

I plug my monitor into igpu but it no turn on

#

Do I habe to shut pc down then turn on

twin fossil
#

I’d make sure whatever cable you are using is inserted all the way into both ports also maybe unplugging and replugging would work but anything past that could be a few different things

#

I’ve had it where my computer was fully working but my cable was being weird unplugging it and replugging it back in fixed the problem

It depends on how many things you're controlling with it mostly

brittle tinsel

My friends gpu recently died, he just got a new one (newer) but it wont display (old card was a geforce gtx 1080 ti, new one is a gigabyte gtx 1660 ti)

#

anyone know how we could get it to possibly boot?

#

display*

vague oracle
#

Is the card plugged in correctly?

#

Like all power cables in

brittle tinsel
#

yes, I walked him through it

#

the only thing we havent tried is a new power cable, the cards fans boot but the lights on it doesnt display

vague oracle
#

Are there are error codes?

#

Or LEDs?

brittle tinsel
#

no, just no displays

#

or rgb lights on the cards branding

vague oracle
#

I mean like on the motherboard

brittle tinsel
#

no error codes or error leds show up, the card initially lights up then goes off but the fans stay on with no display

#

im personally thinking it might be an issue with the power cable, he was pushing a 1080 ti through a daisy chain instead of 2 seperate wires

desert gulch
#

Does it have igpu?

brittle tinsel
#

nope

#

I dont think so any way, its an intel i5 5 something or 4 something

#

its a little older

#

we are trying a new wire now

#

well, different pcie power didnt fix it

#

it doesnt have an Igpu and im honestly at a stand still rightnow, I cant think of anything else

brittle tinsel
#

without a "k" does it still have integrated?

clever eagle
#

yes

#

if it has an F
then it doesnt have igpu

#

like a 10600kf

#

k = overckockable i guess

#

ks = very good

#

kf = overclockable but no igpu

brittle tinsel
#

ok, we have tried using the motherboard to use Igpu but still no display we have tried hdmi and dvi, is there a way to enable igpu or is it always on?

this whole issue started after his cat bounced on the top of it, they bought a new gpu because the old one didnt work in any computer and the new wont wont work in his pc either

#

It doesn’t have to be $2k it could be less, just enough to play Minecraft and to try out fortnite and maybe other games in the future but rn just fortnite and Minecraft

I may end up just getting the razer laptop I found

this seems ok

its 2050

#

im not very good at sticking with budgets am i

or this

little osprey

It’s okay, I don’t care if it’s a little over

#

I don’t understand why there are never reviews on these laptops

clever eagle
#

me neither

brittle tinsel
#

@clever eagle he just recieved it in the mail, would it help testing it on a working pc? cause I mean the pc may have other issues if the igpu doesnt work

clever eagle
brittle tinsel
#

im a bit worried cause I cant help them, they are in australia and im in florida, they only have 1 pc left, if he messes up then they both lose pcs

frank stirrup
#

what seems to be the issue

brittle tinsel
#

the issue started while playing warzone, his pc suddenly shut down and when rebooted would not display. we have tried using the integrated gpu off of the i7 6700 but that wont work either, they bought a new card (1660 ti) after trying the 1080 ti on the working rig and determining the card was dead. the new card would not work on the broke rig so they just went to test it on the working rig

little osprey
frank stirrup
#

Like the build quality is bad

#

Wouldnt buy an acer nitro

little osprey
#

Can you find me a gaming laptop that is good quality? For around $2,000?

little osprey
#

That’s pretty cheap compared to the ones I’ve been looking at

brittle tinsel
#

@clever eaglethey tested it in the working pc and the card doesnt work. that still doesnt explain the igpu not working but i think the 1660 was a dupe, the guy they bought it from only video shared it working, they didnt get to see it in person

brittle tinsel
#

the fans work but the gpu doesnt display and the rgb lights dont light up

little osprey
clever eagle
clever eagle
little osprey
#

Oh okay, yeah I just found the 30 day no hassle thing

clever eagle
#

yes

brittle tinsel
#

this is the same issue we are having, we have tried all the options at the botton and nothing, someone said use the intel onboard but it doesnt work and we dont know how to troubleshoot it if someone could give a hand

#

last thing I can think of is resseting the cmos

#

if this doesnt work, I may just kick the bucket on computers

potent portal
#

If there was a power surge it's possible that the motherboard was damaged. Some lower tier power supplies have poor protections against that kind of thing.

brittle tinsel
potent portal
#

It's possible the CPU is damaged then. It's hard to narrow down the issue without being able to swap parts.

brittle tinsel
#

So rebuild a new from acratch?

#

SCRATCH*

#

whoops caps

potent portal
#

You could do that, might be better to just get a couple new parts to swap around that you can return if they're not the problem part. Alternatively bring it to a local shop or microcenter and they can swap parts to test.

brittle tinsel
#

im in florida, the person with the issues is in west austrailia

potent portal
#

Local shop then. Whatever preferred location. That would be the fastest way to find the problem parts.

hey how to conenct a anti static braclet when building my pc

brittle tinsel
#

there should be a metal clip, connect that to metal, normally the case

#

personally, never used them, just dont do anything to cause static and you are good

kind vortex
#

so

#

my body is kinda buggy

#

and i dont like that

brittle tinsel
#

the braclet should have a piece connected to it that runs to a clip, you can clip that to metal

kind vortex
#

Aitt hurtt

brittle tinsel
#

do you have the anti static braclet now>

#

?

kind vortex
#

so the anti static will move the electric to the metal piece that i clip into?

brittle tinsel
#

if it doesnt look how I described, send a screenshot

#

I dont know how electricity or static works, I just know proper anti static tools ground you so it doesnt kill the parts

kind vortex
brittle tinsel
#

are you fixing to build a pc?

kind vortex
#

nope

#

it for my future build

brittle tinsel
#

ah, I built mine on top of a wood desk, sitting on a wood floor, without socks, and i didnt wear baggy clothing, if you do that you should be good

kind vortex
#

you have a wood table

#

i have FLOOR

#

concrete

#

it is good?

brittle tinsel
#

concrete should be fine, I dont think that causes any static, just dont slide your feet around alot

brittle tinsel
#

go with the bracelet then

kind vortex
#

nah i think it will be fine

potent portal
#

I often do socks on carpet and I've never had a problem. Just touching the back unpainted metal once in a while.

brittle tinsel
#

towards the end of my build I had to set it on a table and I sat in a leather chair on carpet. because of my dyskinetic cerebral palsey its difficult to stand for long let alone short periods of time. I kept grounding myself to the case and the pc runs like a charm so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

with 3060

@unborn shell then to start off would be CPU+Mobo+ram upgrade, and by the way, what case and what PSU?

how much do you think i could sell that for?

I'd keep the 1050 ti for the moment until you can find a better graphics card

The rest of the system might sell for 250?

unborn shell
#

ah

fossil cedar
#

That's a guesstimate tho i don't keep up on used pc pricing as a whole

tight sorrel
unborn shell

so i should sell the pc and buy a new one keeping the 1050ti ?

tight sorrel

pretty much, yes

unborn shell

aight

wait

#

is the 1050ti a "good" gpu?

i mean

#

it could hold it own?

tight sorrel

its good enough till you get more money for a proper GPU

fossil cedar
#

Ehh ideally upgrade but we in the middle of a shortage of gpus so it's good enough for the moment

Better than integrated graphics

i should buy a new pc right?

tight sorrel
unborn shell

no

#

i mean

#

used or new

Your motherboard cant accept a better processor. Your ram is too slow. The CPU is good enough for word processing. your PSU will not be safe for more powerful hardware.
