What motherboard, old cpu, and new cpu do you have?

How would I go about bios update?

potent portal Oct 23, 2021, 1:04 AM

#

You don't have flashback, so you'll need to put the old CPU in, go into bios, and run the update from there. Then you can put the new CPU in.

Ok, there's a file inside the zip, B45STL_4.20, copy that to the drive. Then also extract the files inside of that. The guide isn't specific on which set of files it needs so I guess do both.

After taking the advice I've received into consideration, this is my friend's build as it currently stands. I have but one question left: what is the best choice of air cooler? I was thinking something from Noctua, but I'm not sure what the best pick is.

#

Sure we could go with the stock cooler, but he's got some budget left and I figured we'd go for something a little nicer.

vague oracle Oct 23, 2021, 2:17 AM

Why that HDD and SSD?

And why so much storage?

I’d do something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ztZQTJ

Because he and I both value speed and sheer mass storage.

Thanks for the cooler suggestion.

There are better SSDs at cheaper prices like the one I put in

Per key RGB? As in you can set individual colors? That's the best feature right there

little osprey Could i get some help for laptop shopping

f it were me, I would go with the $699 one, it has dedicated graphics and a fairly good processor for a mobile one. But that is just me.

#

Yeah im leaning towards that one too

#

Its not for me, its for a friend fyi

#

They said they are going to be doing coding, general laptop use, and maybe some league of legends

#

But League of Legends can run on basically anything \😂

#

but the coding can sometimes take resources, crunching those numbers and all

#

Yeah, it gets pretty ram intensive

This is probably not helpful at all, but usually when I run into major problems I will back up important files, remove my game drive, then reinstall windows

on my laptop i have (i believe) intel hd grapics 4600, i also have a gtx 860m
should i disable the intel graphics

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 12:57 AM

#

Not unless you're having issues like games not using the dedicated GPU

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 12:58 AM

#

i believe so

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 12:58 AM

#

It's good for power saving to have the integrated, low power GPU for the desktop and such

#

I'll check if your GPU is compatible with the nvidia OSD

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 12:59 AM

#

idk what that is

#

is it something i should worry about?

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

Looks like you're compatible with geforce experience, so you can enable the on screen display and see if games are using the 860m

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:02 AM

#

how would i do that?

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

You should have geforce experience installed unless you told it not to when installing drivers

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

i do im opening it rn.

#

ok its opened

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

Go into settings, general, in game overlay enable

#

Then once that's enabled hit alt+Z

#

The overlay should come up, hit performance

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:04 AM

#

ok, i did that and should i change battery boost from optimal to quallity?

#

for better fps?

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:05 AM

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

Anyway in the performance settings there's a settings wheel next to performance overlay, hit that

#

Performance, advanced, then exit

#

Then you can hit alt+R to bring up the detailed overlay that shows what frequency and usage everything is at

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

peformance settings?

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

The overlay settings

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

oh

#

i did advanced

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

Ok, then you can exit by hitting alt+Z again

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

kk

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

Then you can bring up the overlay any time with alt+R

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:09 AM

#

ok

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 1:09 AM

#

If you see really low frequencies and usage then it's not using the 860m and is probably using the Intel GPU to save power

cerulean root Oct 24, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

it says gpu utilization 0%

#

is there a way i can change it to use the gpu?

#

kinda want to try low end shaders, and kill my poor laptop

gpu is not even doing anything

#

Java or bedrock?

vale storm Oct 24, 2021, 1:58 AM

#

potent portal You can bypass the license when you're installing and just not activate it

I see, thanks

#

Would all the software install by itself or?

#

That's my question

#

I have never done this before, so I am wondering what to expect

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

the only functionality you lose by not activating windows

#

is that you can't set a wallpaper and you get a watermark that says activate windows

#

afaik

vale storm Oct 24, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

LOL.

#

Okay, so all the other software will install by itself on launch during the step?

potent portal Oct 24, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

Everything you need to run windows yeah

#

You'll probably still want to install drivers and stuff

vale storm Oct 24, 2021, 2:18 AM

#

Yeah, of course.

#

I'm sure all of that can be found online.

Graphics drivers, audio, etc.

Sorry am back I want footage in 4k and I use Premier or DaVinci resolve

premiere has GPU accelerated effects, do you know specifically if you use them? or should I just assume that you do

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 4:58 AM

#

I'd assume I do

#

Due to low CPU usage

#

9826_vei_drink

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

okay

#

if you're willing to camp out at best buy

#

a 3090 @ MSRP could fit into your budget

#

you'd want at least 64gb ram for 4K editing

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

I see

#

9826_vei_drink

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

if you're not willing to camp out at best buy and want to buy a gpu more easily

#

used 2080ti at ~$900 would be a decent call

#

2080ti edges out 3070 in premiere due to the higher vram even though their gaming performance is the same

#

they're still pretty close but 2080ti tends to be cheaper since it's older and also less desirable to crypto miners

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

I see

#

That's solid

#

I think I'll go thru the evga website if newegg doesn't have what I want

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

one benefit of getting a 3090 is that it's guaranteed to not be nerfed for crypto mining so you could mine crypto during your rig's downtime to offset the cost as well

#

for a 2080ti you'd have to buy used

#

for an MSRP 3090 you'd be looking at best buy

#

those are pretty much your only options

desert gulch Oct 24, 2021, 5:03 AM

or bryce

#

lol

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:03 AM

even if it performs worse?

2080ti is cheaper than 3070 and slightly better in premiere

#

I dont scalp and I use those two GPUs for 2 different PCs

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

if you don't plan to use them you should still go 2080ti over 3070

#

unless you manage to get MSRP 3090

#

used 2080ti is your second best option

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

I can most likely get a 3090 at msrp

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

3070 isn't significantly more efficient than 2080ti either

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:06 AM

#

I have a friend who works at best buy and I tend to keep a auto updating list of newegg listings

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:06 AM

#

daring depot I can most likely get a 3090 at msrp

it would HAVE to be founder's edition msrp

#

AIB models would push out of the 3k budget

#

since you're going to need a strong CPU and 64+ gb ram

#

has to be 1500 to realistically fit

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:06 AM

I can increase budget to 5k

anyways the 3090 doesn't even outperform the 2080ti that much in premiere

#

so if I were you I would just not care about the 3090 and go for an easy used 2080ti

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:07 AM

I see

#

puget systems is a high end prebuilt workstation vendor

#

so they do a lot of benches for these kinds of workloads to help their customers understand

#

but also useful for DIY builders

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

Ye that chart is actually super helpful

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

single 2080ti beating dual 2080ti is kinda funny

#

goes to show how well multi-gpu has aged

#

but yeah you can probably see why I am recommending 2080ti

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

Its a lot more cost effective for sure

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

I see a used 2080ti on r/hardwareswap for $850 + shipping right now that isn't marked as sold

#

decent price

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

The performance increases is kinda slim ill try to look at a few more sources personally before I make any decisions

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

going for a used 2080ti gives you budget headroom to go with a ryzen 9 5950x or 128gb ram

#

or just save money

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

A ryzen 9 5950X is sorta sexy

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

128gb 3200c16 ram is $560

#

ryzen 9 5950x is $750

#

so I think it might have to be one or the other

#

going to put together a list

#

64gb should be fine for 4K so might be smarter to grab the 5950x

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

I could use some my extra ram laying around in the PC

#

So because I have an extra 32gbs laying around because I accidentally ordered some im goods

#

FeelsDumbMan

#

Sorry at bar so may dip soonish

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

is it 2x16?

#

if it's 4x8 it won't be very useful for this

#

cause you'll want 4x16 for 64gb

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

1x32

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

oh

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

I ordered one because a sale once when I was trying to buy some 16 sticks

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

well you could potentially get another 1x32 and then a 2x32 kit

#

might force you to do manual ram timings though, xmp probably won't survive that lol

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:16 AM

#

Xmp?

#

What does xmp? Mean

#

Never seen the term before

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 5:18 AM

#

extreme memory profile

#

a setting you turn on to get the ram to run at its rated speed

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zrkg8J

System Builder

#

quick example of a workstation that slightly exceeds $3000

#

but it's got a 5950x, 128gb decently fast ram, a 2tb gen 4 ssd, 2tb gen 3 ssd, 2080ti

#

could go a bit cheaper on the storage if you don't need 4tb of fast nvme ssds

#

but having fast ssds is nice for scrolling through video timeline

#

4K video editing is one of the best use cases for fast sequential speeds

#

could drop 128gb ram to 64gb to stay under $3k

#

could also look at getting a large hard drive if you want to store lots of footage but don't need that storage to be particularly fast

daring depot Oct 24, 2021, 5:38 AM

#

Hmm

#

I'll maybe several fast NVMEs than some added hard drives for space

Hey guys
One of my fans that came with my lian li 240 aio stopped spinning recently and so i tried spinning it and it wouldnt
So then i lifted up the turbing part a bit and that got it to spin
But now whenever its spinning it sounds like its scraping against something
Or like a rusty barring
What can i do to fix this

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:16 AM

#

@fading oysterso i bought a used galahad 360

#

and it never stopped spinning but it did make a pretty unpleasant sound

#

i turned off the pc and pushed upwards REALLY hard on the center of the fan

#

fixed it permanently

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:16 AM

#

ya i tried that too

frank stirrup Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

earnest olive i turned off the pc and pushed upwards REALLY hard on the center of the fan

ah yes the brute force fix

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

no like REALLY REALLY hard

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

imma just have to buy some new fanxz

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

like i thought i was going to break it hard

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

oh dam

#

alright i'll try that

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

someone told me it was because the bearing came misaligned

obsidian wigeon Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

maybe

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

so push really really freaking hard

obsidian wigeon Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

i have to do it for my gpu too

#

it has similar problem lol

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

i mean i pushed hard but not that hard

obsidian wigeon Oct 24, 2021, 6:17 AM

#

annoying sound

#

doesn't stop spinning

#

but it makes the sound

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

though your fan might be more messed up than mine if it stopped

#

mine was just making grinding noise

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

mine sounds like a washing machine or sum

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

you could see it spinning slower but not stopped

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

ya mine completely stopped for a while

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

lian li galahad aio fans might just be more prone to that

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

but then i pulled on it a bit and it started spinning but slower and making the noise

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:18 AM

#

never seen it on other fans

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:19 AM

#

ya they probably just cheaped out on the fans and made the radiator and cooling block insane

#

cuz besides this one fan i love this aio

#

i don't think i've ever seen my cpu go above 45 degrees

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:19 AM

#

idk if it's cheaping out sometimes mistakes just happen

#

they are pretty good fans otherwise

#

and most people don't report problems

obsidian wigeon Oct 24, 2021, 6:19 AM

#

just rma it

#

in other channel you said it's less than 2 months old

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:20 AM

#

idkkk

thats a long time to be sitting there with 1 rad fan lol

#

or no cooler

#

ya

obsidian wigeon Oct 24, 2021, 6:21 AM

#

oh yeah

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:21 AM

#

besides if i replaced it all the fans on my pc would finally match up

obsidian wigeon Oct 24, 2021, 6:21 AM

#

replacing the fans wouldn't hurt

#

and quicker than rma

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:21 AM

#

ya i think imma just do that

#

then i can save the one remaining fan for another build or in case another fan breaks

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

tbh so many people instantly replace the fans with something like unifans that if they sold the galahad with no included fans it would prob be pretty popular

#

or just bundle unifans

fading oyster Oct 24, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

fr

earnest olive Oct 24, 2021, 6:22 AM

#

i kept the stock fans they are fine

kindred wharf Do you need the same graphics card if you want to use double cards?

Depends on the application, out of all applications, only some will support sli/crossfire, which need the same card, and are only supported by a few cards and motherboards, and there's very few software that will work with different cards, like blender, or say mining.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XcBbW3 Thoughts? I was thinking decent refresh rate on 1440 currently (90+) on Battlefield. I know it's not entirely possible, but wanted something to last a few years. I really don't know where to go or what to budget for GPU. I was thinking of a 3070 but I keep getting more and more discouraged with the market. I've been hesitant to spring for an AMD GPU because of the potential of DLSS on nvidia's cards.
