[earnest olive]

whatever I feel like

[fossil cedar]

I has white 224 cuz i was like might as well get rgb,now i gotta block glass panel with 3070 box at night when mining

[vernal dirge]

I’d do like a dark blue, but I wouldn’t want it to fill the entire case imo.

[earnest olive]

lol I don't like that you can't control the white se-224-xt

can't turn it off

[fossil cedar]

Yeah would be nice

Its the only se 224 available in eu now tho :(

[earnest olive]

the only thing that stops me from recommending it

[fossil cedar]

The black and basic oos

For ages

[fossil cedar]

Off button would be nice but ahh well

[earnest olive]

dark blue looks nice

[fossil cedar]

Kinda looks uv like

[vernal dirge]

Dark blue looks nice.

As long as it’s not rainbow puke.

[earnest olive]

I prefer solid colors

[vernal dirge]

I also usually keep my computers on the ground.

So I don’t get to see them. Why worry about making inside look pretty

[earnest olive]

you might enjoy this meme I made yesterday

https://i.imgur.com/zWf7JIJ.png

[vernal dirge]

I saw it lol.

[earnest olive]

in the comments some people actually want it...

[vernal dirge]

You’re joking?

[earnest olive]

i wish i was

[fossil cedar]

Same lol as long as case no bad and cables neat so easy to work on idm what looks like really

[fossil cedar]

Why vga cable no rgb

[earnest olive]

this hurts me

[vernal dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/farnsworth-futurama-gif-5319799

[fossil cedar]

Ew

[fossil cedar]

....

[earnest olive]

at least most of the comments are making fun of it lol

[vernal dirge]

The fact that people actually want it though……

[fossil cedar]

Psu rgb is the dumbest crap ever you don't even see unless garbo case cuz shroud

[vernal dirge]

[vernal dirge]

You’re joking right? Those exist?

[earnest olive]

they exist

and i've used one before

not because it was rgb

[vernal dirge]

My god.

[earnest olive]

but because it was on sale for cheaper than the non-rgb options while still being A tier

[vernal dirge]

[fossil cedar]

Yeah thermaltakw main offender but super flower have leadex rgb afaik

[vernal dirge]

That’s just disgusting.

[fossil cedar]

Ye

And fan faces down anyway ree

[earnest olive]

this was the only place you could actually see it lol

[sand falcon]

Parts are in new case, post test successful

[earnest olive]

congrats!

always a good feeling when it turns on the first time and nothing's wrong with it

[topaz kestrel]

Is that a toaster

What’s the need for a gpu holder?

Doesn’t the gpu get held by the port and the screws?

[fossil cedar]

sag

[topaz kestrel]

Or is it for heavy Bois

[fossil cedar]

heavy boi

[topaz kestrel]

Of course they come rgb

[stoic island]

Look at pinned in #cases-psu-and-cooling for a fun story about those

[vernal dirge]

Lmfao that’s pretty funny. I’m sure he dealt with this issue.

[stoic island]

Did you see the screenshot? Johnyguru is a guy that worked on designing Corsair PSUs btw

(screenshot isn't pinned, it's right below the actual pinned message)

(CX-F is Corsair's rgb PSU btw)

[vernal dirge]

Hooooly lmfao.

That’s hilarious.

I didn’t see until you mentioned it.

[celest horizon]

Would be pretty believable if not for the price

[earnest olive]

is an rgb heatsink even possible lol

[quaint swan]

Should I log in with my Microsoft account on my pc?

Because my old laptop was a surface book 2 which had the user linked to my Microsoft account

Also is it possible to buy windows 10 just for the key and then activate it?

[analog pulsar]

what buget would you guys reccomend for a laptop

[fossil cedar]

You asking the reverse question my guy

[analog pulsar]

okay lol

here is my friends specs they do some video editing and stuff but i need to get them an upgrade bc when ever they use discord it freezes pc

i was maybe thinking i5 or i7 and 16GB ram and a Dgpu

[earnest olive]

video editing on a zen+ dual core with 6gb ram

ah

and no ssd

wow that sounds like pain

[analog pulsar]

they edit like tiktok videos and stuff

[fossil cedar]

wow that sounds like pain

[analog pulsar]

play roblox, stream, use obs,

they play roblox

[fossil cedar]

wow that sounds like pain

[analog pulsar]

yea

she also writes storys

but pc kept crashing lol

[earnest olive]

whoever built that laptop truly hates people

hopefully it was no more than $100

[analog pulsar]

its 10 years old

[earnest olive]

??

10 years old with ryzen 3000

you sure?

[analog pulsar]

idk tbh lol

it was there moms

[analog pulsar]

idk was price was

what you think

[earnest olive]

8gb ram

most likely not upgradeable looking at the size of that chassis

[analog pulsar]

i just upgraded the ram

price go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Dell Inspiron 13 5310, 13.3 inch QHD (Quad High Definition) Laptop - Thin and Light Intel Core i7-11370H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA...

$1000

even has a finger print reader

[fossil cedar]

And downgraded the cpu

[analog pulsar]

yea i saw

so im looking at another laptop now

[fossil cedar]

What's your use and price range btw?

[analog pulsar]

its for a friend

[analog pulsar]

this

[fossil cedar]

Mkay and budget ish?

[analog pulsar]

$2500 max

maybe try to find something 1500

[fossil cedar]

Jesus

[analog pulsar]

idk

[fossil cedar]

Okay

[analog pulsar]

what a good buget would be for laptop

[fossil cedar]

Do they need laptop?

[analog pulsar]

yes theres keeps crashing

[fossil cedar]

I mean do they need the portability of laptop like

Cuz that's a 3060 ti desktop price or a 3080 desktop price lol

[analog pulsar]

yes they love the portbilty but maybe i can talk them into a desktop

i wanna get myself a laptop for if i travel and stuff

[fossil cedar]

Okay

[analog pulsar]

she said if fine to go with either

thats cheap

i mean like cheap with a 3070 ti in it

this is good right

storage is small

the 3070ti pc comes with a 120mm rad yikes

[fossil cedar]

@analog pulsar https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834725160

[fossil cedar]

Thats awful

[analog pulsar]

this is nice

why 240hz

isnt that a lot

[fossil cedar]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali559/p/N82E16883360189?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=1 for desktop

[fossil cedar]

[analog pulsar]

okay so this laptop is good like cooling is good and stuff

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834233451?Item=N82E16834233451

oh

i didnt see that

3050

[glacial umbra]

does anyone know how to fix the faint gray horizontal lines shown in the image

just got a new monitor and they're starting to bug me

[analog pulsar]

@fossil cedar okay thanks you SOOOOOO MUCH

[fossil cedar]

Np

[little osprey]

Good combo?
11700k
6600 xt

[fossil cedar]

Meh

11700k spensive and meh

I'd just do 10400 6600xt

[little osprey]

I want the cores, and the pcie lanes

[fossil cedar]

Same pcie lanes, just get a 10700(k) then if you want 8 cores for some reason

[little osprey]

Does the 10700 support pcie 4.0?

Just wondering

[stoic island]

Cores for doing what?

[fossil cedar]

Uhh don't think so but doesn't matter

[stoic island]

And no.

Pcie 4.0 doesn't matter much for most things anyways

[little osprey]

I do heavy editing and rendering

[fossil cedar]

Then get a 10850k or 5800x/5900x/5950x

[little osprey]

I see

[stoic island]

That's valid, but what else are you doing?

[little osprey]

Gaming

I wanna do flying games

[stoic island]

For rendering, 10850k would sit between 5800x and 5900x for reference

[fossil cedar]

11700k would be just a poor choice overall and especially for rendering

[little osprey]

Really?

[fossil cedar]

Awful pricing

[stoic island]

Using bmw27 benchmark for reference, 5900x 111s, 10900k 132s, 5800x 161s

[fossil cedar]

For not much more than 10700

[stoic island]

11700k, the chip, isn't bad, 11700k, the price, sucks.

[little osprey]

I see

[stoic island]

I should prob collect some data on 11700k too for my spreadsheet

[fossil cedar]

If 11700k was actually cheaper than the 10850k it could be a decent choice lol

[stoic island]

But for bmw27 bench again, for reference, 10700k took 169s

Source being guru3d/TPU/hothardware, blender 2.9 bmw27 bench

[little osprey]

Yea now that i think of ot i was kinda stupid bc i chose the 11700k bc it fully unlocks the z590 chip set to where i can use all the m.2 slots and a few other things

I was kinda attracted to.the 64gb/s m.2 .-.

I did my homework and found out to get anything remotely close to that speed is kinda out of price range

[fossil cedar]

Advertised speeds are always "up to" btw

[little osprey]

Oh really?

[fossil cedar]

Like yeah 1mb/s is still up 64gb/s

[little osprey]

Yea i figured as much

[fossil cedar]

Those speeds are up to and sequential only speeds, so only when doing lots of writing from same place

[stoic island]

Rnd perf can be much worse

[little osprey]

Its like how ram will clock down for other ram like: 'up to 4000mhz"

But ots kinda idiotic to miss match ram

[stoic island]

Advertised perf is not indicative of real-world perf

[little osprey]

I see

[earnest olive]

in case you didn't know, there is a difference between Gb and GB

64 Gbps = 8 GB/s

[fossil cedar]

What?

[stoic island]

Yea and there's GB vs GiB

Annoying things

[little osprey]

I wanna build my first pc, but i wnat good specs. I only delt with this optiplex

[fossil cedar]

V stoopid

[earnest olive]

realistically the best gen 4 drives will do 7 GB/s sequential in an idealized synthetic scenario

[stoic island]

And seq vs rnd and bunch of random metrics

Things are annoying

[little osprey]

Im learning so much rn-

[stoic island]

And only for so long until they run out of SLC

Or thermal throttle

[earnest olive]

idealized accounting for both of that

[stoic island]

Although

[little osprey]

I made a 2billion dallor pc:)

[stoic island]

Best gen 4 drive in general could theoretically do like 30GB/s, optane bois

[earnest olive]

seq performance definitely matters more for video editing than it does for gamers though

[little osprey]

In pc part picker.com

[stoic island]

Pcie 4.0x16 :D

[vague oracle]

Intel 4tb optane

[earnest olive]

gen 5 drives are "coming soon"

[stoic island]

Even then hard to notice, as from that one LTT vid, although that was when we had e16 pcie 4.0 drives, nowadays e18 and such are a bit faster

[earnest olive]

yeah

i only have a gen 4 drive for the flex

[stoic island]

Yea phison made a gen 5 controller iirc

[fossil cedar]

Can't believe intel literally supported gen 4 for 1 gen then going gen 5 lol

[earnest olive]

meh, not like gen 4 really matters much

[fossil cedar]

Nah but just funny

[dawn trench]

iam neww and hope to recieve some help on adding a card for using 3.1 usb port. like to know what chat to use for help?

[stoic island]

This will work

Need a bit more information, what PC, and what exactly do you need?

[dawn trench]

OK I NEED A 3.1 TO GET INFO OFF MY NOTEBOOK HARDRIVE oopa caps iam bad my mother board gone and can transfer only at 3.1 and i have 3.0

iam new hope i speak well

my pc fopr instwalling card is a dell

iam extracting files with help off SilverStone Technology SST-MS10C M.2 SATA SSD Enclosure

needs 3.1 top work

to work

[stoic island]

Oh I see, USB type c

[glacial umbra]

anyone know how to get rid of these horizontal gray lines on my new monitor?

they're very visible outside of pictures as well

[stoic island]

Might just be like stuck pixels

[glacial umbra]

no fix?

should I return/exchange it then?

I don't think it's stuck pixels

[stoic island]

Could try fixes for stuck pixels and see if that helps @glacial umbra

[glacial umbra]

alright one second

[humble rock]

I changed my fans around in my pc the top 3 are running on header 2 and the side are running on header 5 .But only fan header 2 shows up in bios and they run in sync with each other.If they ramp up they all ramp up . Both are on separate pwm fan hubs.

[frank stirrup]

Both might be configured to the same sensor on the mobo

Use the motherboard software to fix

[humble rock]

@frank stirrup the fans are different I’m not sure if that matter but I can’t find anything in the bios header 5 just says 0 rpm

[frank stirrup]

use mobo software in windows

[humble rock]

@frank stirrup not showing up in dragon center either

[frank stirrup]

what isnt

[humble rock]

the fan header

[frank stirrup]

hmm

[humble rock]

it should be header 5 but 5 and 2 are synced now which isn't bad bud I don't see 5 at all but 2 is still there

[frank stirrup]

so you see only 1 header as occupied?

[humble rock]

yeah just 2 5 was there before but i switched 2 3 noctua redux fans then it was gone fans still spin just fine

[frank stirrup]

oh thats what ur saying

ok can you show me what the part on the right says?

[humble rock]

5 should b there but its not ?

[frank stirrup]

its there

it just says its on 0rpm mode

thats fine

send pic of whats on that side please

[frank stirrup]

1 sec

just hit fan tune

on sys fan 5

[humble rock]

i tried it just ramps up and resets all my curve presets on header 2 and switches it to dc instead of pwm

[frank stirrup]

hmm

[humble rock]

they are all pwm fans

its not effecting anything they run silent like i wanted but i have no idea y the header disappeared

[frank stirrup]

the header nevcer disappeared

just on 0rpm mode

[humble rock]

but the same info shows up on header one that nothing is plugged into

[jovial tendon]

Has anyone had any luck flipping their 24pin Strimer Plus lights? My motherboard's 24pins are flipped to the way the strimmer is curved with install. Unlike the 8pin cable which is easily reversed, lian li decided to make the cables on the top half longer to assist with the curve... however it becomes impossible to actually reverse the lights if needed.

[sand falcon]

@grand granite is that an inverted case?

[grand granite]

@sand falcon yeah, cm stacker 810 with the tray flipped, 3090 is on a pcie extension and resting on the heatsink so gravity can hold the 2011 heatsink on the backplate... dropped vram 16C lol

[sand falcon]

Interesting strategy

[grand granite]

have a prototype ice giant cpu cooler to install too just haven't had any time recently

[cosmic wraith]

@grand granite why you have chopsticks in your graphics card

[fossil cedar]

Looks like support/stop the fans hitting off the cpu cooler

[grand granite]

They're acting as a wedge. To prevent the graphics card from sliding off the heat sink

And keep the dark rock pro from scratching the plastic

[fast dirge]

@frank stirrup hey?

[frank stirrup]

hi?

[fast dirge]

Pretty sure you were offering advice on specs I was posting re: trying to play Diablo 2 remake?

[frank stirrup]

Ahh yep i remember

[fast dirge]

Hi 😊

Can I ping you another spec?

[frank stirrup]

hello

sure

[fast dirge]

Thank you 🥳

GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB
Intel i-5-8600k CPU @3.6 GHz
16 GB dual channel ram
1TB Seagate hard drive
256 GB Samsung 970 EVO SSD
Windows Pro installed
Hard drive and SSD completely wiped

[frank stirrup]

yep itll run it

[fast dirge]

Recommended?

[frank stirrup]

also far better than the other 2 pcs you had sent

[fast dirge]

Oh, sweet

Thank you

[frank stirrup]

how much is it for?

[fast dirge]

550

[frank stirrup]

Oh sweet

yeah cop it

[fast dirge]

I'll do my best - and if I don't I may be back!

Thank you again 😊 🥳

Should I make a lower offer or at that price would it be an insult?

[tight sorrel]

original ran on a pentium and 32MB GPU, new graphics dont look that much different. 🤔

[fast dirge]

You'd be surprised how different it is when you switch back and forth! Although I still don't know why the specs are so high. The old graphics will run on an old system, but switching to the new graphics and loading would kill the machine.

[frank stirrup]

I wouldnt

[frank stirrup]

Oh they do

[tight sorrel]

maybe these old eyes dont see it. am on the site now.

[frank stirrup]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUZkCIRT09U

its night and day

[tight sorrel]

Its higher res and higher fps, agreed.

[frank stirrup]

yeah

a LOT higher res

and a lot smoother

also animations are better

[ionic osprey]

Hi guys, i want to use 10400f or 3600, i just play for gaming. Wich one for best gaming?

[frank stirrup]

and map textures are a lot better

[tight sorrel]

10400

[frank stirrup]

price matters

[ionic osprey]

How about 2700x?

[tight sorrel]

NO!

[frank stirrup]

no

dont

https://youtu.be/JUZkCIRT09U?t=176

look at that timestamp

its crazy how good the graphics are comparatively

the lightning effects

[tight sorrel]

Ok I see. But its still just a 2d game. I guess im just a grumpy old fart

[ionic osprey]

OK, have a build for that cpu 10400f and gpu 5600 xt?

[tight sorrel]

come again?

[frank stirrup]

I mean minecraft dungeons is 2d

[frank stirrup]

10400f and a 5600xt

cpu and gpu

[tight sorrel]

oh lol, I thought they meant Ryzen 5600xt

was confused

[ionic osprey]

Bruh

Gpu

[frank stirrup]

I can see that happening yeah

[ionic osprey]

i5 10400f and rx 5600 xt

And i still waiting for msrp gpu :(

[fast dirge]

I knew the old graphics were coming too but I didn't think they shipped with the beta until I accidentally turned them on. I genuinely thought I'd broken something for a second it looked so bad - our brains remember it being about what the remaster is, but it's nowhere close! (Incidentally I play exclusively on the old graphics, only turn the new ones on to see what things look like for a second)

[tight sorrel]

is this an upgrade or are you building from scratch @ionic osprey ?

[ionic osprey]

Build first time for me

[frank stirrup]

With the new pc ur gonna be running on the new ones no problem!

[fossil cedar]

10400 and a b560 in like 90% of countries

[ionic osprey]

Yes sir

[tight sorrel]

wouldnt a 5600g and B550 be better? I know the AMD iGPU is way better than the intel one

[frank stirrup]

moners tho

[tight sorrel]

true. rather get a 10400 and 1060 6GB

[ionic osprey]

B560m pro4 or b460m mortar?

And 10400f just a stock cooler is good?

[fossil cedar]

Don't get b460, what country you in @ionic osprey ?

[ionic osprey]

Im in Indonesia

Okay i take b560m

[fossil cedar]

Yeah, what's the site for that region for pc parts again?

[ionic osprey]

Tokopedia

[fossil cedar]

Stock cooler will do but if you can afford a gammaxx 400 or something it would be better

[ionic osprey]

How about id cooling se 224 xt basic?

I dont like rgb btw

[fossil cedar]

If it's available at around the same price as gammaxx 400 yes

[ionic osprey]

In my county 224 xt basic price is IDR 395.000 or $27.65

[fossil cedar]

That's a nice price for it yeah

https://shopee.co.id/Fan-Processor-Deepcool-GAMMAXX-GT-V2-WHITE-i.205237319.9747672641 here's a slightly cheaper option too

Nvm it actually lights up as white

[ionic osprey]

Oh nice, thx btw

[jagged hill]

Hey, my micro ATX B450 came back from MSI on Friday. I was considering building an HTPC out of it, possibly to resell or keep.

Question, however: should I place the stronger video card in my bedroom PC or in the living room HTPC?

[tight sorrel]

you dont need a strong GPU for an HTPC

unless you intend to game on it as well?

[jagged hill]

Okay, once or if I get a much stronger GPU, I’ll put the 1030 in my HTPC.

I was considering gaming on the PC, but no stronger than GC/Wii, Dreamcast, and PSP.

Not so much newer native gaming.

It would mostly be meant for movies and music.

Could I do fine with no video card, then?

[fossil cedar]

Np

[tight sorrel]

nah, 1030 is perfect for HTPC

[vestal smelt]

nack

[little osprey]

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nn993Z

idk about all the peripherals but made pc a bit better

[vague oracle]

AMD is the better choice for Linux PCs

By a very large margin

Nvidia drivers are completely horrible on Linux

[tight sorrel]

I support this message

[fossil cedar]

They posted so many times never taken any advice bar mb the psu lol

[frank stirrup]

oh one of those pests

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[stoic island]

Still not bad on any mainstream distros afaik

[next prairie]

Red or brown mechanical switches?

[tight sorrel]

thats something you have to determine for yourself.

[stoic island]

Personal preference and more

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[next prairie]

How can I test?

[lyric thistle]

I guess you can get a switch tester board

idk how much that would be

I have a k582 with outemu reds and I think I would prefer browns

I want the clicky

[stoic island]

What's your budget to start off

[tight sorrel]

go to a computer shop, and ask them to try

[stoic island]

If the budget is high enough, aftermarket switches become another option

[next prairie]

Well red and brown are the relatively the same price and I know blue keys would be too loud. I’m hoping for a k70 mk2.

[stoic island]

Sooo around 100$

Because to start off, I'd at least say grab a Keychron board with hotswap

Hotswap let's you just swap switches without having to desolder and solder

[next prairie]

I’m just gonna get an AKWOX key switch tester.

[stoic island]

Also, for reference, a lot of switches exist, to test them all would be annoying and expensive

Eh

[next prairie]

Yeah. I’m just gonna test the different cherry mx switches.

[stoic island]

Don't think any switch testers will offer akko cs switches despite how good they are at budget switches

[next prairie]

?

[stoic island]

But at least get a switch tester with cherry red/brown and Gateron red/brown

Those are the most common

Kalih next most common tbh

But there's lots of nice switches out there anyways

As a side note, for reference, a more extensive tactile switch tester, but yet still doesn't include many nice switches imo, such as t1 or u4t or akko cs ocean blues
https://kbdfans.com/products/tactile-switches-tester

[stoic island]

But if you just want to test Cherry switches, easiest way is to walk to your local best buy and type on some keyboards there

[next prairie]

I might just do that. Save $20.

[stoic island]

But you should still keep in mind other switches, hotswap boards like this is nice
https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Hot-swappable-Backlight/dp/B0875LM463/

But of course, even if you don't want any other switches, there's still much better options than Corsair

Corsair wacky, non-standard bottom row, crappy stabs

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[next prairie]

I shouldn’t be very picky picky with switches and I’m going for looks here, and Corsair’s gottem.

I’m going for a Corsair theme cause I love their cases, software and more.

[fossil cedar]

icue haunts my nightmares

And so do corsair mice

[analog hearth]

Asus mice are actually underrated lol

you can even change the switches if you start having a double-click issue

Corsair has garbage components and peripherals

[fossil cedar]

I think you mean double click "feature"

[fossil cedar]

I wouldn't say that, make some very nice power supplies, and their aios are fine just there's better for cheaper, their ram yeah can't argue that one but they make some nice cases too

[analog hearth]

ah yeah the PSUs are good

that’s all i can think of that’s good that they make

[fossil cedar]

4000d airflow is nice

[analog hearth]

yeah that too

overrated but still good

idk about their monitor though. haven’t look through it good enough

don’t even know its specs lol

[stoic island]

They don't make the power supplies :p

Although they modify them

It's still cwt

Their AIOs are still meh

[stoic island]

Nice but not THAT great :p

Everything Corsair is either mediocre for the price or bad

Unless there's a crazy sale

Although tbf stuff like rm1000i had pretty decent prices

[fossil cedar]

You know what i mean ;-;

[fossil cedar]

Gives razer monitor but bit better vibes

[fossil cedar]

Ik but not bad lol

[analog hearth]

wait then who makes the Corsair PSUs?

[kindred steeple]

Hey everyone, @fossil cedar I took your advice and bought 32 GB of Klevv Cras X RAM but I notice something and idk if I should do something about it sooner or later. I ended up mounting my Kraken Z37 with the tubes for the pump slightly touching my RAM sticks, the instructions said the screen could only be rotated by 90 Degrees and this was my best option (later found out I can rotate it however I want). Anyway, now the RAM stick that's making contact with the pump lets out a faint but noticeable high pitched whine whenever the LED's are on. I then discovered that if I push on the stick a little it stops, then pretty quickly comes back. I figured I definitely have to fix that but I'm also tired of taking this thing apart.

My question: Is this something that I should fix ASAP or else my stick will break? Or can I wait on it a little if it's not bothering me?

[potent portal]

Assuming that it's stable under a stress test, it's just the LED that's whining and the worst that happens is one of them dies.

[kindred steeple]

@potent portal how do I run a stress test on RAM?

[potent portal]

I usually do OCCT

Default settings are fine

If it passes that it's probably fine, but if you want a more intense test TM5 with anta extreme config

[kindred steeple]

@potent portal ok new tools, awesome, thanks for the help

[frank stirrup]

And if you want an even more intense test use TM5 on the anta&arshia config

[fossil cedar]

That's only a manual oc file tho lol

[frank stirrup]

Who is

[fossil cedar]

Wdym lol?

[frank stirrup]

What manual oc file

I confus

[fossil cedar]

Like the arshia x anta config

[frank stirrup]

Thats not an oc file

Thats a tm5 config file

Just like extreme1 anta

[fossil cedar]

I mean its more aimed to it like

[frank stirrup]

Ahhhh

I see

My brian smooth

[fossil cedar]

It'd okay was poorly worded

[tough shell]

what wifi dongle on amazon.ca would you recommend I get for a reasonable price?

please @ me when you respond so I see it. Thanks

[jagged hill]

Regarding the HTPC again, should I aim for a console killer build if offline movies are my main focus?

Games can be there, but it’d mostly go up to GC/Wii and some weaker native games.

I wanted to use my backup B450 for something, if I cannot resell a build.

[potent portal]

It doesn't take a lot of power for wii emulation, it's fairly optimized by now. You could totally throw a ryzen 2700 and 1650 in and it would run native speed.

[tough shell]

what wifi dongle on amazon.ca would you recommend I get for a reasonable price? sorry to @ you @potent portal but nobody is answering >.<

[nimble shuttle]

What's up

People

[potent portal]

Sorry but I'm not at my pc right now, I'm on mobile, and browsing Amazon on mobile is a pain. When I get back to my pc I can help.

[tough shell]

no worries, orange mushroom helped me. Thanks though mate ❤️

Does the the asus b560m-a pro has an m.2 slot? or should I just stick with traditional ssd's?

[stoic island]

M.2 slot is nice

[tough shell]

do you know if the asus b560m-a pro would have one? idek where I'd start looking

[stoic island]

MSI b560m-a pro or
Asus b560m-a

[tough shell]

non pro

sry

X.X

[stoic island]

And assuming you have 10900f, the board will have a single usable m.2 slot

[tough shell]

do you think I'd just be better off running another normal ssd then?

I'd also need a mounting bracket for my case

[stoic island]

..?

What is a normal ssd

You talking 2.5in?

Why not use the m.2 slot

[tough shell]

https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-MX500-500GB-NAND-Internal/dp/B0786QNS9B/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=crucial+ssd&qid=1633384645&s=electronics&sr=1-3 another one of these

or one like it

where would the slot be found?

[fossil cedar]

The slot is around the pcie slots

[tough shell]

is it the thing right above the top pcie slot?

where I have my gpu

[fossil cedar]

Under the pcie slot

The top right one is disabled because you have a 10th gen cpu

[tough shell]

right here?

if so I gotta remove my gpu

[stoic island]

M.2_2 is somewhere

M.2_1 is disabled w 10th gen chip

[jagged ember]

that's a m.2 slot

[tough shell]

yeah

[jagged ember]

looks like m.2_2 though

[tough shell]

is that the one that I'm looking for?

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[jagged ember]

but not sure, i'd consult the manual

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[tough shell]

manual is back home, down at school rn

[jagged ember]

top should be m.2_1 i believe

[tough shell]

sorry, top?

[fossil cedar]

Manuals are like always available on the items website btw

[jagged ember]

heatsinked one

[tough shell]

ahh

[jagged ember]

above the gpu

[fossil cedar]

Just ignore it tho

[jagged ember]

it'll probably be fine either way

[tough shell]

would that be in danger of overheating then since it would be right behind a 3080ti?

with no heatsink

[jagged ember]

i'm currently running 2 nvmes

in the exact same spots

[fossil cedar]

Nah top is disabled cuz 10th gen in b560

[stoic island]

Overheating chance low

[jagged ember]

won't overheat unless your nvme is garbage

[stoic island]

It'll be pcie 3.0 anyways

[jagged ember]

which one of mine is but it suprisingly lives

[stoic island]

Just don't grab dum rgb m.2 SSDs and you'll be fine

[fossil cedar]

Heatsinks are only needed for pcie 4 drives anyway

[tough shell]

what 1tb m.2 would you recommend? (in CAD prices btw)

[jagged ember]

sn550?

mp34

[fossil cedar]

Lemme check

[jagged ember]

maybe p31 gold if ur budget is higher?

[stoic island]

Sn750 prob cheap for can

[jagged ember]

mm

or that

but just update the firmware on it

apparently makes it better according to tomshardware

[tough shell]

https://www.amazon.ca/WD_Black-SN750-Internal-Gaming-Solid/dp/B095HB3L6G/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sn750+1tb+m.2&qid=1633385111&s=electronics&sr=1-1 this one here?

[fossil cedar]

@tough shell I'd grab this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/VXyqqs/silicon-power-p34a80-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-su001tbp34a80m28ab or team mp33 for more budget drive

[obtuse compass]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-00BS-00039?Item=9SIAFSTEWF9850

[jagged ember]

oh i forgor about the A80

good nvme

[obtuse compass]

am I better off buying that and the argb cable kit or just the strimer plus and the 8 pin separately?

[tough shell]

there's no issues with non-compatability betweeen storages is there? Currently running a crucial ssd and an hdd

[stoic island]

p34a80 good

[jagged ember]

nope

[tough shell]

oki

tyvm ❤️

[jagged ember]

everyone would be mad if that was the case lol

[tough shell]

good thing apple doesn't make storages

[jagged ember]

imagine samsung 970 doesn't work with a seagate hdd

[fossil cedar]

Lol

Samsung hdd

[jagged ember]

you know what else works? my segues to our sponsor

[tough shell]

should I be getting extended warranty on these things?

[little osprey]

i just want WD to bring back the raptor series

[jagged ember]

eh

chances of failure are low

[tough shell]

or rare enough to have issues that I don't need to worry

oki

[fossil cedar]

Extended warranties are scams

[jagged ember]

pretty low

[stoic island]

Wd black close enough to raptor

And extended warranty just wacky

[jagged ember]

hdds and ssds have the same failure rate anyways

according to backblaze

[stoic island]

So far

[jagged ember]

so far, yeah

[fossil cedar]

Extended warranties aren't actually warranties just regular customer support etc

[tough shell]

so are paywalled college information systems but we still get those

[jagged ember]

probably should have added those words

[little osprey]

wd black drives arent 10k rpm, but then again there's an argument to be made that 10k drives are becoming obsolete, but id disagree

[stoic island]

It's possible because no moving parts, the increase in failure rate from age that comes w HDDs but we don't know yet

[little osprey]

plus, wd velociraptor drives are 2.5inch

[fossil cedar]

Nah like they're not just a rip off you're literally giving them extra money for nothing you're already entitled to as it doesn't extend your actual warranty

[tough shell]

anything basic that I mightve forgot to look at while wanting to upgrade my pc?

[stoic island]

Keyboard

[jagged ember]

mm

[stoic island]

:D

[fossil cedar]

I'd upgrade your motherboard

[jagged ember]

mouse

[tough shell]

upgrading storage, wifi, idk what else

[jagged ember]

maybe

idk lol

[fossil cedar]

B560 Prime might struggle with the 10900f

[tough shell]

lmao have mmo mouse and a LG keyboard

I've been running the 560 now for a while and it seems to be fine

[fossil cedar]

Ehh actually should be okay if stock pl

[jagged ember]

will probably be fine at stock

[stoic island]

Would boost lower tho

[jagged ember]

i think?

not my area of expertise, clearly

[tough shell]

heh

[fossil cedar]

What cooler you got?

[tough shell]

I have some arctic pst pwm's, and an EVGA AIO CLC

[stoic island]

Works

[tough shell]

my pc gets a little hot for the GPU, runs at usually 62 deg. celsius

[jagged ember]

Not very spicy

[tough shell]

unless idle

[stoic island]

Dats not hot

[jagged ember]

That's pretty cold

[tough shell]

lmao

I have poor airflow, the case I have isn't too great for it

it's a p300 phanteks

[jagged ember]

My ventus 2070 runs at 70 max with fans cranked

But it's also a ventus

[fossil cedar]

Hot is like 90c

[tough shell]

[fossil cedar]

I'd mb change to a p400a or something

[tough shell]

yeh i'm not a fan of the case but its sturdy. That's only gunna change once I finish school. Don't wanna damage a nice case tbh

[jagged ember]

Mm

[stoic island]

My 2070 runs like 70c w like 70% fan

[jagged ember]

Huh

Weird

[tough shell]

#scammed

[fossil cedar]

My 3070 giga gaming oc doesn't get above like 55ish but i don't play very gpu intensive games so gets like 65ish mb in timespy can't remember, but tbf it's also undervolted

[tough shell]

this is gunna hurt

[fossil cedar]

What ram do you have now?

[jagged ember]

32gb

Ram

[tough shell]

ripjaw 2x8gb

[jagged ember]

For what purpose?

[fossil cedar]

I mean you hardly make 10900f 16gb ram system

[still roost]

Basher3336#6969 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tough shell]

oof

[jagged ember]

Oh wait true

[tough shell]

forgot about sensors >.>

[jagged ember]

I forgor his specs

Mm

What about 4 8gb sticks total?

Idk the drawbacks of that though

[tough shell]

sorry, I was meaning that I continually hit 16gb ram usage which kinda blows

when playing stuff

[fossil cedar]

@tough shell I'd grab this ram instead, extra 60$ not worth it for your situation for the ram you picked out https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/V4tKHx/adata-xpg-gammix-d20-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-ax4u3200716g16a-dcbk20

Or you could just add these sticks if you wanted https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/Cf98TW/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvkb

[tough shell]

which is better you think? use all 4 slots or just 2?

[jagged ember]

i'd also like to know

for when i want to upgrade my ram capacity

[fossil cedar]

I'd grab the 2 sticks so you can just add it for less cost, should be okay, could have the odd complication but nothing someone here can help you out with if it comes up, but at least if you go 4 slots you'll garuntee dual rank

So 4 imo

[tough shell]

sorry so the 16x2 or 8x2 is better?

[fossil cedar]

So you can just add the ram to you're existing

[tough shell]

ahh so the ripjaw 8x2

[fossil cedar]

Well you'll have 4x8gb

[tough shell]

yeah

sorry the @ message was worded a bit weird >.<

[fossil cedar]

So that considering you already have 2x8

[tough shell]

so should I get the 8gb or 16gb

[fossil cedar]

Yeah my b am tired lol

8gb

[tough shell]

im kinda

no worries, and thanks 🙂

[fossil cedar]

Yw :)

then paid like 30 for an arm

this is all in CAD

[little osprey]

Ok thx

Ok I’m closest to the source so I’ll go there

[little osprey]

Thx btw

[little osprey]

Anyone have a caselabs PC they'd care to share in #build-pics

[little osprey]

What is the difference between Linux and windows

[jagged ember]

One is better

[little osprey]

What one

I personally always used windows

depends on what kind of computer user you are

Ive always just used Windows and different versions of it because i've never had a need to use linux

Ok ty

[earnest olive]

@little osprey not mine but i found a modded caselabs build today that makes me not want to build pcs anymore

it's just so much better than anything i've ever dreamed of lmao

coolest pc i've ever seen

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/hmLJ7P

[little osprey]

Wow. That is sick.

I hope to built something like that, when I have the time, energy, and money lol

im liking the fact that it's using a broadwell xeon too

[earnest olive]

like

there's "good" pcs

and then there's "inspiringly good" pcs

and then there's "demoralizingly good" pcs

this is the latter

i need to do a big case mod someday so i can be cool too

[little osprey]

lmao

Yea same

Im proud of my PC build but in the grand scheme of things, most of them are pretty generic

[earnest olive]

i was happy with my custom laser engraved gpu support and internal monitor

[jovial tendon]

that is really slick

[earnest olive]

but now not anymore

[little osprey]

My college has a laser engraver that I could use... hmm

[earnest olive]

i wanted mine to not be generic but i don't have the skills to do something like THAT

[little osprey]

well and a laser cutter naturally

i have the opportunity to make something cool but itd take a lot of time, and i dont even know how to properly use half the stuff lol

but hey ive made a wooden box before lol

[jagged ember]

Just 3d print your case

[little osprey]

bet

[earnest olive]

this is like the centerpiece of my build lol

still mostly a generic o11 build

with a few additions

[little osprey]

that does look pretty cool though lol

[earnest olive]

thank you 😳

[little osprey]

Any build from sips is automatically cool

[frank stirrup]

@earnest olive build is almost as hot as you are

[little osprey]

🤩

[earnest olive]

i really need to make an orange mushroom flushed emote

opening photoshop rn

[frank stirrup]

Bro the build posted by sswarbird in #build-pics literally is the definition of rainbow vomit

[earnest olive]

not enough rgb

needs rgb strips and rgb case panels

[frank stirrup]

Bro it already looks gross

No more rgb

[earnest olive]

ok but whats going on here lol

gpu strimers plugged into nothing?

[frank stirrup]

Im gonna be building in the SilverStone Technology PS15 PRO soon

Looks to be very nsis

Nais

[frank stirrup]

LMFAO ITS JUST A RAINBOW PUKE WATERFALL

[little osprey]

new type of waterfall? geologists will be all over it soon

[wide sparrow]

always love seeing dat build

[earnest olive]

[humble rock]

@earnest olive were do u get these little lcd screens for the interior of ur case ?

[earnest olive]

amazon

[humble rock]

@earnest olive does it hook up threw mini HDMI ?

[earnest olive]

regular hdmi

[little osprey]

it’s just a. very small display

nothing super special

Mount using 3m tape or zip ties or whatever

[earnest olive]

i mounted with magnets

[little osprey]

magnet

Yes

[potent portal]

I have so many questions about this one #build-pics message
Starting with... where's the power supply? And that loop doesn't even look like it's filled... That thing looks like it's mid-construction but also old as dirt, wth is going on

[little osprey]

I'm pretty sure it's an abandoned project that never got finished

It seems like it's just been sitting on the shelf for years

I might be able to pick up the project if I ask about it. I probably won't though since I don't have the time, plus I'm not sure they have the resources needed to continue a build like that. I haven't seen any custom loop stuff anywhere.

[potent portal]

You'd need to totally redo most of the tubing at a minimum, not even considering what's under that tape

And... is that SLI memory I spy? Dang that thing IS old as dirt!

[little osprey]

Yea lmao

[earnest olive]

👁️ elaborate

what is SLI memory

[frank stirrup]

nvidia sli

[earnest olive]

I see it but like

is it different in any way

is it from before the DDR era

what does it meeeeean

also why is build chat so dead lately

[obsidian wigeon]

It's like

Geforce 9 series era

[frank stirrup]

http://www.atacom.com/program/print_html_new.cgi?Pagecode=SEARCH_ALL&Item_code=MED2_OCZT_96_KD

[obsidian wigeon]

Anyhow

[frank stirrup]

EPP memory

[obsidian wigeon]

SLI RAM is just

Marketing lel

[earnest olive]

9 series?

[frank stirrup]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NForce

for use with those mobos

[obsidian wigeon]

9 series as in geforce 9800 and such

[earnest olive]

like gtx 900 or 9800gtx

ah

so ddr2

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

[frank stirrup]

its basically ddr2 for nvidia chipset mobos

[obsidian wigeon]

it's 775 board

[earnest olive]

did they call it SLI because dual channel? lol

[obsidian wigeon]

iirc

[tight sorrel]

attention to detail is AMAZING!

[potent portal]

It means it's tested by nvidia, usually it's a fairly decent bin and timings

[jagged hill]

Anyone seen those cool invisible builds?

[fossil cedar]

Invisible?

[frank stirrup]

like hidden desk and what not

[fossil cedar]

Ohh desk pc

[tight sorrel]

or do they mean this?

[fossil cedar]

Lol

[potent portal]

I don't see anything, what's that a picture of?

[tight sorrel]

an invisible PC😉

[jagged hill]

Yeah it's a PC disguised as a desk, but that camo PC is funny.

But no one said inaudible PC.

Make it as loud as you need to, as long as it isn't on fire.

[tight sorrel]

theres a youtube channel called DIY Perks who did one. The best I have seen. The desk is about 8/9cm thick and its quiet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhWDPG8EROw

[jagged hill]

I saw.

That's why I asked about it.

There was one that was 44mm thick too.

Parallel fans all over.

What other objects could you hide a PC in?

[fossil cedar]

Idk i can't see it either

[pale leaf]

I got all new components including an nvme. Should I put a new windows on it or transfer the old?

[fossil cedar]

Transfering the old copy of windows will technically work but you'll run into errors, you'll want to reinstall windows onto your nvme drive

[tight sorrel]

fresh install on fresh hardware

[pale leaf]

I’m still using the copy my university game me. Don’t think I have a usb of it. Would it be better to buy a new one?

[fossil cedar]

Windows is free, and you can transfer the key over to your new machine

@tulip zephyr why you have a dual system btw?

[tulip zephyr]

Just to have it, always nice to have a second system to do stuff on when main system has a demanding game running

[hushed vortex]

pull a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GH out of a prebult mother bord cant be replace need case mother bord and power supply what to go with

has liquid cooling not sure if i can tranplant the cooler

[tulip zephyr]

I haven't used Intel since Ryzen came out although was a Intel fanboy before Ryzen

[barren flame]

Hu

Hi

Could someone help me.?

[tulip zephyr]

Depends what's up

[barren flame]

So I bound a PK to boot menu (only button I was pressing was enter) and now my pc is stuck and does not boot. What do I do?

Rgbs do light up

But when I press enter

Nothing happens

I mean, PK to secure boot

[visual notch]

Have you cleared the CMOS already?

and started for scratch?

from*

[barren flame]

Nah, will do it

[visual notch]

K, try that first

[barren flame]

I have done it before

But don't remember how to do it

I need a screwdriver

[analog hearth]

Also, do you get any messages on your screen?

[barren flame]

And need to touch two pins

[visual notch]

It's either a button on your mobo or a jumper you move

[barren flame]

Nop

[analog hearth]

Yeah you might just want to clear CMOS

[barren flame]

PC has to be off

[analog hearth]

yep

[barren flame]

How about the power

[visual notch]

yes, power supply dead and drain off excess

[barren flame]

Should I unplug it from power?

[visual notch]

don't want to damage your CMOS

you can

[barren flame]

I know

[visual notch]

always the safest bet

then power it on to drain the residual

from the PSU's capacitors

[barren flame]

Ok, now ima unplug it from electrical outlet

[analog hearth]

unplug it from the PSU too

turn off the PSU as well

[barren flame]

Turned off the osu

Psu

[visual notch]

now power the system on, to drain off residuals

[barren flame]

Pressed power butyon

[visual notch]

now clear the CMOS

using the presumably jumper on your mobo

it should be labeled

[barren flame]

Yea, i have 2 pins marked as "CLR CMOS"

[visual notch]

yep

[barren flame]

Aight let's do it

[visual notch]

use the jumper to connect them, it should be moveable

or short them with a screwdriver, but be careful all the residual is drained.

[barren flame]

Alright, did it

[analog hearth]

once you have that jumper on the two pins that say it clears CMOS, turn on your PC for 10 to 20 seconds

[barren flame]

Connected them with the screwdriver

For like 15 seconds

[analog hearth]

hopefully that worked lol

[visual notch]

it should have

it uses the CMOS battery power to do it

[barren flame]

I did it like this back when I was overclocking my pc

[analog hearth]

ah should work then

[barren flame]

Now ima plug in the power

Okey, turned my pc on

Well it's up for like 20 sec, and nothing changed

Mouse lighting doesn't light up

[visual notch]

oh dear...

[barren flame]

Everything looks the same as before

The cmos

Clt

Clr

[visual notch]

it might not have reset

[barren flame]

Yea

I hope so

[visual notch]

that should have alleviated the issue

[analog hearth]

try taking out the CMOS battery for a few minutes instead of using a screwdriver to connect two pins

[visual notch]

^

[analog hearth]

that's probably a more reliable method

[barren flame]

Alright

[visual notch]

give it time to bleed off residuals before you put the battery back in

probably 3-5 mins

[frank stirrup]

yeah it is

[analog hearth]

using a screwdriver would work, but you're having to hold it there for a while lol

[barren flame]

K unplugged the battery

[analog hearth]

just wait a few minutes now

[barren flame]

Damn that's a mess under my pc

[tulip zephyr]

Air duster

[analog hearth]

after 3 to 5 minutes, put the battery back in its socket and power on the system

[barren flame]

That's what ima do

I literally feel the same stress which I felt 8 months afo

I was overclocking my old cpu

[tulip zephyr]

I feel the stress. Neither one of the systems in my dual build worked after finishing the water loop. Main system was set to HDMI instead of display port for some reason and forgot to replugin the second systems power button after redoing some cable management

[barren flame]

Went over the turbo without increasing volrage

And my pc got bricked

[tulip zephyr]

Oh wow yea that's not good

[barren flame]

Ye

Battery unplug didn't helped

But CMOS CLR did

[analog hearth]

oh so what did you do? did you use a button? jumper on the pins?

[barren flame]

Yea, connected two pins with the screwdriver

And my pc booted

[analog hearth]

ayyy there we go

[barren flame]

I mean

It was 8mo ago

I just plugged

The battery

And now I plug my pc

Ok

[analog hearth]

ah

[barren flame]

Launching it

Same as at the beginning

KB lights uo

Cooler and ram too

Except for the mouse

[analog hearth]

oh yuh. we got Pato coming in

[fossil cedar]

You need to also unplug the pc when clearing cmos with battery btw

[barren flame]

Ik

[fossil cedar]

How long was it unplugged?

[barren flame]

I placed my pc on my bed

[fossil cedar]

That's odd

[barren flame]

About 6-7 minutes?

[fossil cedar]

I would not work with your pc on your bed btw just incase, static wise etc

Odd

[barren flame]

Will try to reset CMOS again

And leave it for minute or something

[fossil cedar]

What's exactly the problem btw

[barren flame]

.

[fossil cedar]

Wdym by pk?

Also ehh try reseat your ram

[barren flame]

Platform key

2nd CMOS reset attempt

No result

Everything lights up except for mouse

It gives signal for 2 short moments

Also, I had admin pswd set, does that change things?

[analog hearth]

it’s best to only setup an admin password if your PC is setup by your administrator

but it’s for personal use. you probably don’t want that

[barren flame]

No changes

[analog hearth]

but it also shouldn’t change anything. it’s basically just a password to enter your BIOS

[barren flame]

Well, I just wanted to turn on secure boot

And now my pc is fckn dead

[analog hearth]

so, you don’t get anything at all on the screen?

also, how long do you wait before deciding nothing has changed when powering on your system?

[barren flame]

At least a minute

[analog hearth]

i remember i was impatient once, not knowing POST tests the GPU last lol. made me worry for a bit

ah

[barren flame]

Well I don't know what to do now

[analog hearth]

lol is your monitor turned on and plugged in to your PC?

[barren flame]

Plugged in

[analog hearth]

just making sure lol

what’s the motherboard?

[barren flame]

B450 gaming x

[analog hearth]

MSI?

[barren flame]

Gigabyte

[analog hearth]

ah

Gigabyte could possibly be the issue

probably because of their dual-BIOS crap

[obsidian wigeon]

I doubt it

[barren flame]

I don't even have dual bios

[analog hearth]

ah

[barren flame]

It was one of these budget mbs

I bought back when I was kinda newbie to it

IT

[analog hearth]

i personally stay away from Gigabyte but some people might say otherwise

[barren flame]

PC on without the battery once again

Pls don't mention my flip-flops and legs

xd

[obsidian wigeon]

You're not supposed to turn the thing on without cmos batt

Just wait and put it back on then turn it on

[barren flame]

I didnt

[obsidian wigeon]

Ah

[barren flame]

May i just killed my motherboard?

Tho

[analog hearth]

is an APU installed?

if so, take out the GPU and try powering it on

[barren flame]

Nah I have r5 3600

It does not have apu

[analog hearth]

ah. try taking out the CPU
