Tell him that

[earnest olive]

hey

filter 👁️

[mossy venture]

It doesnt block that word

[jagged ember]

aY

[mossy venture]

Idk why

[jagged ember]

block it urself

[mossy venture]

Wait

[jagged ember]

as in color it

[mossy venture]

In the dm

[earnest olive]

guys my zoom meeting is unplayable

[mossy venture]

Oh

Mb

[jagged ember]

lmao

99% gpu usage

[desert gulch]

Lol

[mossy venture]

Pov: crypto mining

[desert gulch]

Shoulda gotten a Radeon, but whatever

[mossy venture]

Oh hey rawr you changed your name back

[frank stirrup]

If thats unplayable my zoom meeting removes frames from pc instead of showing

[frank stirrup]

I was banned

[mossy venture]

What

[frank stirrup]

Then I wasnt

[earnest olive]

[mossy venture]

Tf

[desert gulch]

Spf instead of fps

[mossy venture]

What happened

[desert gulch]

If you know what I mean

[frank stirrup]

So my nick reset

[frank stirrup]

Spf 70?

[desert gulch]

About 60

60 seconds per frame

1fpm

1 frame per minute

[serene hedge]

Is it a good idea to start a business that cleans pc's and fixes issues?

[kindred pawn]

k i found out it's not input delay but it's like not feeling as sharp

i have 0 clue why this is and continue to figure it out

[analog hearth]

isn’t that called a computer technician/repair shop?

[little osprey]

i am currently running a disk check on my 9 year old drive to be able to clone it and i am turning into a mummy waiting for it to finish

[analog hearth]

have fun

[little osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-bug-god-gif-19638019

my hard drive ^

[hardy venture]

So I'm looking for advice for my first PC build, this is the correct chat to do so right?

[little osprey]

for sure

[jovial bough]

yes

[hardy venture]

Alright, so far my build is https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/W3KqK3 and I'm looking for advice on a suitable motherboard as well as a PSU that I can possibly carryover to a new build in 4 or so years.

[stoic island]

Interesting storage setup but do you need wifi?

[jovial bough]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list/

idk I know someone showed me a list of PSU

[hardy venture]

Well I'm probably gonna need WIFI but I think it's possible to just buy a separate card and include that. As for the storage I'm mostly aiming for roughly 2TB of SSD storage under or around $100. I don't plan on really doing mega data transfers too often.

[stoic island]

btw moved to
https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[jovial bough]

Oh 👆

[hardy venture]

I've looked at this tier list before and it makes sense but hard to use for a newbie. The information is good but hard to actually find any of the PSU's listed. Or maybe I'm just bad at finding them.

[stoic island]

could go b550m pro vdh wifi

[stoic island]

Canada bad stock, but half of those are out of stock most of the time anyways

A-GF 750w for 120cad after shipping pretty good

[jovial bough]

Is it necessary to have 1 Ssd dedicated as a boot drive because thats what I have right now

[stoic island]

Something needs to be a boot drive, but you can use the boot drive for a lot more than that

[stoic island]

Could go for a single 2tb mp33 for 208cad

[hardy venture]

Well I want to separate them in case of potential failure on one so I don't lose everything in one go. Probably should have specified that, but thanks for the advice!

[stoic island]

Single drive is usually just nicer to deal with, and backup services are not the most expensive if you have data you don't want to lose

[jovial bough]

I don’t know how often ssds fail

not often right?

[stoic island]

And well, single mp33 1tb + mx500 1tb works too

[stoic island]

other than manufacturing defects, no.

[desert gulch]

Or chia mining

chia mining eats ssd’s

[jovial bough]

an nvme and 2.5 is simple to deal with

[stoic island]

Chia is pretty uncommon now so

[desert gulch]

yeah

[muted geode]

so uh would I be able to put fans on both sides of a rad going in one direction?

[stoic island]

Don't need to

push/pull barely increases performance if at all

[muted geode]

but what about

[stoic island]

not worth the extra fans

[muted geode]

unlimited airflow

alright fair enough thanks

[stoic island]

You're welcome

[strong raft]

Time for a "ramdisk"

His games are the bottleneck

[stoic island]

Who needs a ramdisk if you can just load the game onto the vram of your gpu :D

[strong raft]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NV1

[stoic island]

ah yes a single TMU

gonna run games fine

[jovial bough]

The 3060ti is an absolute beast

[strong raft]

wish i bought nvidia stock when I was a toddler.

[hallow glen]

damb

i wish my dad bought bitcoin like he was thinking about doing like 10 years ago

[jovial bough]

same

[desert gulch]

@stoic island have you heard of NIS?

[stoic island]

No?

[jovial bough]

A bit louder than the 2060

[desert gulch]

Its basically dlss but better quality

just came out

also works on non rtx stuff

as old as Maxwell actually

looks super neat

[stoic island]

I know NVidia made another upscaling thing, forgot name, but even Nvidia said it was worse than DLSS

[desert gulch]

and works on any game, not just ones that support it nnlike dlss

[strong raft]

That and PC ram is why a HDD/ssd isn't a huge deal once the game is loaded. I know, I'm just slacking not installing an SSD.

[desert gulch]

id say nis is better than dlss tbh

[strong raft]

same

[desert gulch]

unless you really care about fps

nis is more quality by sacrificing a lil fps

[jovial bough]

my pc is turning into a jet engine

[desert gulch]

I mean i guess its not better quality than dlss but whatever

[jovial bough]

is there a software that controls gpu fan speed

[desert gulch]

afterburner

ez

[jovial bough]

ok thanknyou

[strong raft]

too bad for them. I don't upgrade GPU's just to look at 2005 game graphics at 500 fps, lol. Although, there's some 15 yr old games I'd still play if they had a player base, and I found the install disc (not gonna pay steam $15-20 for old games)

[desert gulch]

Lol

its basically just FSR

but nvidia

No ai upscaling involved, just some filters

[stoic island]

Its just FSR with more sharpening it seems

well

[desert gulch]

Yeah

i didnt mean more quality than dlss, just more quality than stock

still neat even a 750 can use it with the new driver update

[stoic island]

Well

[serene hedge]

idk

[analog hearth]

that’s sarcasm lol

you just described what already exists

[strong raft]

WOW! I'm sold on DLSS there.

[stoic island]

Keep in mind that image is sourced from NVidia, so it's probably cherrypicked results

But DLSS in general can be pretty good

[strong raft]

yes indeed. much better than that NIS pic though. hey think I should upgrade drivers a bit? Currently 461.92 & once in a while I get the latest 1 of a certain series that has at least 3. Attached pic is what I mean.

@fast dust looks good w/ just the power for lights, lol. Refreshing seeing a top mount PSU also, neat.

[fast dust]

Yeah I had a spare RGB fan so why not lmao

[stoic island]

I mean, updating drivers usually doesn't hurt

[strong raft]

Usually I figure it doesn't help either, at least w/ 2+ year old games. More like I'm just being lazy also to keep from restarting my PC. That should be incentive to start using the SSD I have. Trying to DL Win 10 though.

[little osprey]

Good 240hz 24 inch monitors ?

is the asus tuf VG259QM any good

[vestal flare]

Any emulation lovers? Might get me a raspberry pi 8gb model or an old optiplex with a ddr5 gt1030 for pure emulation 😄

[clear steppe]

Hey im planning on building my brother a moderately decent pc build (he plays fortnite minecraft and likes coding a lot) do you think this pc build is to op or to unbalanced please let me know ryzen 5 5600g cpu b450 aorus pro with wifi motherboard g skills rip jaw 16gb ram 850 watt psu good fully modular 3060ti dual fans 1tb ssd 980 pro and 5 fans for case Arctic cooling p12 fluid case is fractal design meshify mid tower atx case wdyt?

[stoic island]

5600g with a dGPU is a weird choice, so is a b450 board with 5600g, need to know what specific psu, b450 won't even let you run a pcie 4.0 SSD, and in general, use https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[kindred pawn]

is dgpu integrated graphics

[stoic island]

Dedicated GPU

iGPU is integrated graphics

[zinc marsh]

Aye I got a question

So I’m currently building with the rog strix b550f wifi and a revolution df power supply 850w, I’m trying to find the cords for both of the power ports at the top left but I’m only finding one that can fit the port on the left most side of the top left

I’m not exactly sure what cable is supposed to go there

[dusky hearth]

those 2 would be the cpu power

[zinc marsh]

Is only 1 required? Because I’m finding cords that say cpu power but they aren’t fitting

[urban oyster]

Yes that is your secondary cpu power cord connector for your motherboard

[zinc marsh]

So optional?

[dusky hearth]

i believe that only the bigger one is required? not too sure though

also isnt there another plug on that same cable

[urban oyster]

Picture of the cpu main cable.

[zinc marsh]

Yeah but it wasn’t working

[dusky hearth]

wait is that the pcie power cable

or is that the cpu

[urban oyster]

You need to use the cpu cable.

Not any other cable

That is one of your main draws to your motherboard

[zinc marsh]

Says cpu on it

[urban oyster]

Ok do you have an 8 pin cpu connector?

[urban oyster]

Ok plug that in

To the one to the right

[zinc marsh]

That is the one I tried

It’s not working

[urban oyster]

What is plugged into the left?

You may have a faulty psu.

[dusky hearth]

that is the right plug for it

[urban oyster]

Also is the psu turned on...

[zinc marsh]

Lol no, it’s modular I don’t even have it plugged in rn

Well it’s plugged in but it’s set to off, I’m using it for static grounding

[dusky hearth]

i dont think even idiots would plug in internal power headers with the psu turned on

[wide sparrow]

lol

[dusky hearth]

also what does the psu being turned on have to do with the plug not going in

[zinc marsh]

How’s that look? Took a fat amount of effort to get it in there

[dusky hearth]

yep that's in

[urban oyster]

Sigh I mean when you tested the unit

Was it on

This was the question

[zinc marsh]

Uhhhh

This is me testing the unit 💀

[dusky hearth]

i dont think they tested it lmao

[urban oyster]

Ok.

Jesus

[dusky hearth]

if they werent even able to get the cpu power in before now, how would they test it

[zinc marsh]

If I have to take it apart I have to take it apart

Hopefully you didn’t jinx me

[urban oyster]

Cause that motherboard has rgb when the psu is on....

[zinc marsh]

Should I plug the smaller one in just cuz? I have another cpu cable

[zinc marsh]

It just looks it cuz it’s reflective

[hearty oracle]

For 130
Is this a decent monitor?

My current is super old and color is fading xD

[dusky hearth]

you probably are fine without it, but do it since you are able to

[urban oyster]

I thought it was a steel legend

[zinc marsh]

👍

[dusky hearth]

(most of the time you dont need both plugged in, but some mobos require both, so it's best just to do it)

[urban oyster]

For 130 that unit isn't that bad but the fact it's a TV you will have the same issues down the road.

[dusky hearth]

720 at 24" is pretty bad tbh

not very good for a monitor

you would want 1080p at 24" for a monitor

[urban oyster]

Agreed

[dusky hearth]

i have a 13" laptop with a 720p display, and that still looks pretty trash lol

[hearty oracle]

With my budget around 150 could i get one that binds

[urban oyster]

1080p minmum

[dusky hearth]

curved? dont get curved at that screen size

[urban oyster]

Not worth it to get curved

[dusky hearth]

completely unnecessary

god i struggled to spell unnecessary lmao

had to ask google

[urban oyster]

Your best bet is to honestly look on newegg shellshocker

Cause blackfriday

Look on like dell

For a monitor with 1080p

Or even amazon

[hearty oracle]

Alright so 1080p. Anything else i should pay attention too?

[urban oyster]

Usually 1080p comes with hdmi ports lol but above 20 inch screen size I'd personally recommend

[dusky hearth]

hmm, maybe a lower latency, and higher refresh rate (90hz is already noticeably smoother, especially if you play more fast paced games)

[hearty oracle]

thanks for the suggestions, ima do a deep dive tonight see what i come up with

[feral jasper]

Hey, I’m building my first ever build and I have most of the parts I need, including the hardest part to get (the graphics card) and I would appreciate some advice on what to get for my cpu cooler and motherboard. If there’s someone that has a website I should make the list in to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

[potent portal]

http://pcpartpicker.com

That's the easiest way to make a part list

[feral jasper]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

This is what I have so far

[vague oracle]

You need to copy the link in that yellow box

@feral jasper

[feral jasper]

Oh, sorry

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YBjW2V

[potent portal]

Whoops no

This one https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rBvZgt

[mossy venture]

300$ 10600k :p

Also why water cool an i5 that isn't the 12600k

[obsidian wigeon]

i would do 12600k instead

same price

[potent portal]

Already purchased, moot point

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tmL7cT

[little osprey]

rip

[obsidian wigeon]

ah

already bought

[potent portal]

I only added the cooler, mobo, and psu

[potent portal]

Because why not? It's not much more expensive than a good air cooler like fuma 2 and it fills the case out more

[nimble lintel]

Is the thermal paste from liquid cooler usable? I heard I should just buy them

[potent portal]

Which cooler? Most of them are fine

[nimble lintel]

Zeaginal

[earnest olive]

the included paste is generally absolutely fine, otherwise they wouldn't include it

however

[nimble lintel]

Zc-360

[earnest olive]

if it's preapplied and not provided in a tube with enough for multiple uses, you should buy a tube just in case

[nimble lintel]

They gave me a small tube

[earnest olive]

better to have more than you need than not enough... mistakes happen

[obsidian wigeon]

zeaginal

hm, something chinese

it looks like it's from yeston?

[feral jasper]

@potent portal Thank you for the advice

[nimble lintel]

Yes

I got the yeston graphics card so I got the cooler as well

[zinc marsh]

Building a pc is much less enjoyable than I thought it’d be

Just stressful at this point

Taking a break rn, still have to install the psu and power supply

Ugh

Don’t even know if it works at this point

I put the psu in then realized it’s modular so I should keep it out so it’s easier to wire everything up but it doesn’t wanna come out now

Honestly worried I’ve broken it because I’ve been pretty rough with it

We shall see I guess

[limber oyster]

Would a 120mm aio be good for a Ryzen 7 3700x?

Non OC

[tight sorrel]

it would cool it, but you would be wasting your money.

[limber oyster]

Ok

[tight sorrel]

If you want an AIO, get a 240mm one minimum

[limber oyster]

Was gonna see if I could fit a ATX board into a Dell optiplex case I have

Only fits a 120

[tight sorrel]

can you not fit a decent air cooler in there rather?

[limber oyster]

Brother wants aio

I'll just put the wraith prism RGB cooler in there then

[tight sorrel]

yeh, I have that on my 3700. works decently

[limber oyster]

I'm using a 360mm aio rn

[tight sorrel]

nice

what are your temps at load?

[limber oyster]

60-75 depending on load

[tight sorrel]

nice

[limber oyster]

I'm also using off brand thermal paste

GENNEL 20g Silver Compound Thermal Conductive Grease Paste for CPU GPU Chipset Ovens Cooling

Was like $10

[little osprey]

Shared List https://newegg.io/b86df02 this won’t self destruct right?

[frank stirrup]

It wont but its a bad motherboard for that cpu, no ssd, garbage cpu cooler and ram and also overpriced gpu thats out of stock anyway

Also you dont need

And windows costs 20$

[little osprey]

My friend wants to buy

He might get about 1500 bucks for his current PC (i5 6th gen, 1080 ti, 16 gb, 1tb HDD 256 ssd)

He might be able to neg down to 21-2200

Is it worth it for the upgrade

[frank stirrup]

Nah

Ill link prebuilt

In a few

[little osprey]

It's just 3070s on their own go for like 1500

If he even gets his hand on one

And the parts look decent in this compares to a orevuilt

Prprebuilt

[frank stirrup]

Is that canadian doll hairs btw

Or american doll hairs

[little osprey]

Cad

[frank stirrup]

Oh then i would buy

[little osprey]

Well how do I tell what stuff is compatible? Also this is a new egg sub Reddit but most people link to other websites so I don’t see the point when it comes to making builds on Newegg

[frank stirrup]

We dont either

Also its a discord

And use https://pcpartpicker/list

[little osprey]

@frank stirrup so is pcpartpicker the site to buy and also see what’s compatible?

[frank stirrup]

Yeah

Make a list there and send it here

[little osprey]

Also I already have an ssd that’s why I didn’t add it

[frank stirrup]

Ill edit to make better

[little osprey]

@frank stirrup thanks I will in a little

[frank stirrup]

Np

[fossil cedar]

That's a rip off, get this https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali586/p/N82E16883360221 or this https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali506-gladiator/p/N82E16883360106R

[sharp tundra]

hey, tell your buddy to keep an eye out on bestbuy.com at 12pm eastern time. there might be a gpu supply drop, so if youre buddy wants to get a 3070 for msrp, thatll be the best bet

also that only applies if you live in the states. maybe canada too, not sure tho

@fossil cedarHey, do you know if the corsair 1000D can fit E-ATX Mobos? i thought it could but compatibility filter on pcpp says no

[tight sorrel]

eatx is not a standard. you would need the actual dimiensions of the mobo and the dimensions of mobos corsair says fit in their case

[sharp tundra]

okay, thats probably why its not showing then, cause i think the mobo i was looking at can fit in it since it extends to the right, which there is plenty of space for that in the 1000d

also, check out this beast

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kz8HYg

dont know what id use it for, but i sure as hell want it

[fossil cedar]

Lots of editing etc?

[sharp tundra]

LOTS

lol

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NznGsX id do this instead btw

[sharp tundra]

that psu over a ax1600i?

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[sharp tundra]

3200c16 aswell

[fossil cedar]

Yes better timings

[sharp tundra]

i thought tr wasnt super reliant on timings? or am i making that up?

[fossil cedar]

Idk where you heard that tbh

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HxMTwP/sabrent-rocket-q4-4-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-sb-rktq4-4tb consider this drive too btw

4tb means more upgradability in the future

[sharp tundra]

idk honestly, ive been awake for 26 hours and my mind is lowkey fried right now

[fossil cedar]

Lol go get some sleep mate

[sharp tundra]

sleep is for the weak

i can sleep when im dead

[calm dove]

16k $

[sharp tundra]

but also i didnt consider those drives, im bout to update the list with em

theyre faster too huh?

[calm dove]

[fossil cedar]

Gl with that lol
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xXmxDc I'd do this btw

[fossil cedar]

Can't remember exactly, same ball park tho, both s tier drives

[sharp tundra]

ah alright, only considerable difference is the actual storage space

[fossil cedar]

Yeah I'd personally go 2 rocketq4's just to leave room for upgradability

[sharp tundra]

im honestly just surprised you havent changed the mobo yet

i know a few who wouldnt touch giga with a 100ft pole

[fossil cedar]

I mean you can definitely go cheaper

Gigabyte make some beautiful mobos, they foolish, just cuz they can't make psu

[calm dove]

And monitors ?

[fossil cedar]

Gigabyte make some great monitors too ye

[sharp tundra]

exactly, and also they use their overheating Vision OC as a standard to judge every single other thing they got

[fossil cedar]

Lol, it's fine cooler on 3070 down tbh it's just the thermal pads

[sharp tundra]

thats what i tried telling them too, but only rebuttle they ever had was "they should just spend the few extra fractions of a penny on better pads instead of selling us space heaters"

also whats better about that psu u chose vs the ax1600i, besides the price?

[fossil cedar]

The price and just as good lol

[sharp tundra]

figured

also the only reason i didnt add a cooler to the original list was because it was going to be a custom water colled build

[fossil cedar]

Ahh that works too

[sharp tundra]

another thing, best rgb fans?

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NnQGsX btw I'd try something like this, case bit nicer, mobo should fit

[fossil cedar]

Arctic p12 (a)rgb

[sharp tundra]

ehhhh, i think the 1000d looks better imho

[fossil cedar]

Fair

[calm dove]

Why not ?

[fossil cedar]

But why

If you wanna go showcase piece get the thermaltake p1 imo

[sharp tundra]

i just found out that the 1000d can hold 2 systems in it

too bad pcpp doesnt let you build 2 systems in one list

[tight sorrel]

because dust and how easily acrylic scratches. within a month that would look like a discarded circus attraction

[tight sorrel]

[serene hedge]

LLL

[serene hedge]

maybe is

but i mean, i'm getting a pretty good NVME for like $40

[fleet pagoda]

I bought a laptop

And

When i open a game it takes awhile to load

And when i click on something in the game menu

It freezes

What to do

[hearty oracle]

So i found a monitor for 170. Stats are: 1920 x 1080 Full HD Resolution 165Hz Refresh Rate 1ms MPRT Response Time DisplayPort & HDMI AMD FreeSync Premium Supported

These decent stats for the price? Need to get new one as color is faded on my 7 year old screen xD

[fossil cedar]

whats the specs? did you uninstall the bloatware? did you install/update the drivers

[fossil cedar]

depends on the actual monitor, specs dont mean a whole lot, but id reccomend msi g241/g242 or gigabytes 24" 165hz i think, cant remember the name, g24f maybe

[hearty oracle]

@fossil cedar. Sceptre 25

[fossil cedar]

havent looked at reviews on that, see if its on rtings or hardware unboxed has done a review on it

[fleet pagoda]

Updating drivers now

17-11800h 3060

[fossil cedar]

Shouldn't be having those problems then ye

[fleet pagoda]

Yeah i dont know why its happening

Like i load the game and when i click something it just freezes like bruh

[fossil cedar]

If updating drivers doesn't work I'd check for bloatware to uninstall

[fleet pagoda]

Whats bloatware

[fossil cedar]

Useless crap that is preinstalled by the maker of your laptop

[fleet pagoda]

Really isnt anything on there besides control center and microsoft stuff

intel nvidia and realtek

[fossil cedar]

Hmm

[fleet pagoda]

[mossy venture]

Try a chkdsk

Could be corrupted game files

[fossil cedar]

New laptop so shouldn't be

[mossy venture]

Eh

I've had issues with a new ssd

[fossil cedar]

Then return time lol

Game files could be corrupted i guess but didn't sound like it

[mossy venture]

That's what I said to do the chkdsk for

[fleet pagoda]

What u think @fossil cedar

[fossil cedar]

Gpu drivers up to date?

[fleet pagoda]

Yes

And its set to the 3060 in nvidia

[fossil cedar]

Chkdsk doesn't cover that usually

[mossy venture]

It doesnt? I thought it scans files for errors

[fleet pagoda]

Do i just return the laptop

[fossil cedar]

Yes but think game files are usually not actually "corrupt" but more a problem downloading or something, could be wrong tho

[fossil cedar]

You can if you don't want to troubleshoot further, advantage of buying a prebuilt/laptop

[fleet pagoda]

lmfao its working now i guess

I turned off battery saver or smthn like that

Why would that cause it

[fossil cedar]

That makes sense ye

Cuz battery saver will probs switch to integrated gpu and limit wattage allowed

[fleet pagoda]

Ohhh

[strong raft]

Yeah, even corded, I'd say always use the Max Performance setting for games.

[untold vessel]

@fossil cedar PATOOOO!!! My Friend needs the Ultimate Maxed-Out Performance build with modest peripherals for $800-$1100!

[fossil cedar]

Keyboard and mouse?

[untold vessel]

Actually just monitor and keyboard

[fossil cedar]

Ehhhhhh okay

[fossil cedar]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ala243-challenger/p/N82E16883360147R
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hh648d/msi-optix-g24c-240-1920x1080-144hz-monitor-optix-g24c
That gives 50$ for keyboard, too opinion base to give one recc for it

[untold vessel]

Tysm

[fossil cedar]

Np

[untold vessel]

Wait Pato do we have a gaming pc build yet

For the $650-$950 remaining

[fossil cedar]

? I linked a prebuilt and monitor

[untold vessel]

Oh whoops I’ll be darned

He’s asking if he can get that Custom Pato Touch for his pc list

[fossil cedar]

That's the best you can do for 1100 for pc monitor and keep

[untold vessel]

I’ve gotcha. Can we tweak anything for a tad more?

[fossil cedar]

Nah

[untold vessel]

Welp, thanks pato!

[fossil cedar]

Np

[earnest olive]

lol the pato touch

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/touch-fingers-couple-caressing-hands-gif-17120890

[earnest olive]

slaps in an MSI A-GF

this bad boy can fit 850 watts

[fossil cedar]

Embed fail

[earnest olive]

you get an MSI A-GF

you get an MSI A-GF

EVERYONE gets an MSI A-GF!

[fossil cedar]

Msi agf price went up a bit :(

[earnest olive]

sad

what's the new meta?

[frank stirrup]

Keep the msi

I just want a gf

[fossil cedar]

Atm, the rmx 650w/txm 650w, revo df for 850w, can't remember 750w prices

[hallow glen]

or do u want a msi gf

[frank stirrup]

I want a gf

Msi or other

No matter

[desert gulch]

Nah

Leadex 3 for 850

It's like 10 bucks cheaper atm

[frank stirrup]

/claim no work

Sadge

[desert gulch]

You sound an awful lot like the Newegg ppl who manage their socials

[sharp tangle]

😋

[earnest olive]

YIKES

what did I just read

[potent portal]

Taken out of context that could look really bad

[analog hearth]

what

[potent portal]

This

[earnest olive]

that still looks really bad in context

[potent portal]

Only if you don't pick up on the intent but it still comes off in bad taste

[analog hearth]

ah

I think that's funny lol

[vague oracle]

I looked at discord for a second and read it out of context and damn

[analog hearth]

nah I think it's funny

it's like "lmao wtf"

lol

[desert gulch]

@earnest olive wanna see smthing even better than that?

Wegg TikTok lmao

[fossil cedar]

[little osprey]

Hello, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/HighYouseF/saved/#view=wZvz6h is this build good? I don’t want to do a huge stupid mistake so just asking, and the video card is GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE 12G but it’s not listed for some reason, Please recommend me a case & monitor for my pc.

[fossil cedar]

It's got an okay base but I'd definitely change almost everything as there's better for the price, also it's not listed as a price is because we're in the middle of a graphics card shortage, it's good but it depends what price you can find it for

[little osprey]

I guess I will be searching the internet again, thanks tho!^^

[storm isle]

I need help or some tips

recently ive been having problems with my pc where when im playing a game for an extended amount of time it will crash my entire pc but i can still hear people im in a call with then it brings me to a blue screen after a little bit of waiting

if you guys know anything can you @ me

[earnest olive]

does the blue screen say VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE? @storm isle

[storm isle]

most of the time i shut it off before it gets there so i dont read it but im pretty sure it dosent

gives me a qr code

i can look later once it does it again

[earnest olive]

no need

open event viewer

administrative events

scroll until you find a BugCheck error

see if the code says 0x116

[storm isle]

what?

[earnest olive]

type event viewer into windows search

[storm isle]

im there but im not 100% sure what im looking for

Kernal-EvenTracing

was the the last thing that happend around the time it happend

[earnest olive]

look specifically for BugCheck

I believe every blue screen should spawn a BugCheck

that reports the stop code as a hexadecimal code

[storm isle]

Nothing like that

Session "dc3a3596-71e1-45a3-b2ea-39ad5322fe51" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022

thats the desc of the last thing to happen on my pc yesterday before crash

[abstract ridge]

hi

[little osprey]

So, I re-built almost the whole thing again and got this.

Cpu: Intel Core i5-11400.

Cpu cooler: be quiet! Pure rock 2

Motherboard: MSI MAG B560M
BAZOOKA.

Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200MHz.

Ssd: Corsair MP600 Core.

Gpu: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE.

Psu: FSP Dagger Pro 650W Mini ITX Solution.
=1539$

I think I did good

[abstract ridge]

hmm ok

[little osprey]

Still looking for a case & monitor tho

[long rock]

Is that 10900K in build pics clocked at 6.7 GHz?

It said @6.7 which is what made me wonder

[willow spire]

Guys, What would be a good Motherboard under $120 for a Ryzen 5 5600G

[long rock]

I personally really like my B450 Tomahawk Max, I can’t remember how much it was, I think it was 120 tho

[desert gulch]

Yup, that's @celest horizon for ya

Forks is that thing under ln2?

[celest horizon]

yes

[desert gulch]

Nice

How hot is it running?

[celest horizon]

10900k can run full pot, so -196

[desert gulch]

Oh dang nice

Run prime95 with it yet?

[celest horizon]

Why would I do that?

[desert gulch]

Make it run hella hot

Create global warming just by yourself

[sharp tundra]

Would there be any reason why my pc blackscreens everytime I launch warzone?

[potent portal]

Is anything overclocked? Can you hear audio? If you hit alt+tab does it show the desktop?

[sharp tundra]

No, no, and no

My pc does go back to normal when I alt+f4

[lucid tangle]

how does one post a pic in the pics channel?

doesnt give me the option to

[sharp tundra]

Chat a bit and reach rookie level

[lucid tangle]

oh ok

[still roost]

GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[potent portal]

Once your name turns green you're set

[long rock]

How do you get those clock speeds

[lucid tangle]

cool

[potent portal]

Game crash causing system hang, probably an error message behind the game you can't see.
Verify game files, DDU drivers to be safe, and make sure you've got all the prerequisites installed like vcredist.

[sharp tundra]

Um, you happen to got a video for that? Lol

[potent portal]

What launcher are you using to start with? Steam?

[sharp tundra]

Warzone is through Battle.net

[potent portal]

Been a while since I've touched that but game file verification was an option I believe in the settings.

[sharp tundra]

I seen an option that said scan and repair?

Did it but it didn't change anything

[potent portal]

Ok, so it's not the game files

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Run that from safe mode, check all the options for your gpu brand

[sharp tundra]

Okay, I'll have to do it when I get home, but I'll get back to you.

[lucid tangle]

does a 3080 have memory chips on the back like a 3090?

[potent portal]

No

[potent portal]

You'll want to install this too
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Repair if it says already installed

[lucid tangle]

is there anything on the back of the card? if not why would EK be making an active watercooling backplate for a 3080?

i was looking at a water block for my 3080 and seen they had active backplates for a few models

[desert gulch]

I mean yeah they're stuff on the back of the pcb

And the reason there's an ekwb for the 3080 is that the PCB will still absorb heat so the card will actually run cooler of you put a wb backplate on it

[restive halo]

Anyone use this drive?

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-NAND-NVMe-PCIe-2400MB/dp/B089DNM8LR/?

[desert gulch]

I have one yeah

Those newer ones got swapped with more crap components, so I'd avoid it

[carmine tinsel]

is 11700k better than 5800x

[desert gulch]

Unless you ram oc or oc for fun and that's your intent with it, nah

[potent portal]

No they're really close in performance, but 10700k beats 11700k unless you need the upgraded iGPU

I know, it sounds odd, but that's what happened

[desert gulch]

Does 11700k also have better imc?

If ram oc is your thing

[potent portal]

Yes but that's hardly a selling point

[desert gulch]

Yeah true

[restive halo]

Thank you

[desert gulch]

Yeah if you want a cheap 1tb, check out mp33

[earnest olive]

someone asking this kind of question is about to put corsair 3200c16 on it anyways

comet lake IMC already very strong

[desert gulch]

Wow that's a little too quick for my 11700k's Mobo

B460 smh

[earnest olive]

you know b460 doesn't support 11th gen right

[desert gulch]

Yeah

I made a custom bios for it, dw

[sturdy stirrup]

just bought my first pc 😁 super hyped

[earnest olive]

lame, wake me up when you make a custom bios to put 11th gen on 990FX chipset

[earnest olive]

nice! what did you get?

[sturdy stirrup]

3060 ti, ryzen 7 5700 with 16 gb of ram, 1 tb ssd

650 watt power supply

[earnest olive]

not bad, how much was it?

[sturdy stirrup]

$1500 usd

[earnest olive]

not bad

[shut rampart]

I found a cheap Ryzen 7 5800X for 250 and I need some help on adding it to my pc build

my pc right now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qhCH27?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=spgZ_kd4t7ztcWvbEIS8sT2nIEwxOevNuWU4qrXoIxc-1637721039-0-gaNycGzNCJE

[earnest olive]

just do a bios update and slot it in

what else do you need?

[shut rampart]

cooler

for cpu

[earnest olive]

ah, right

forgot it doesn't have stock

[shut rampart]

just a stock cooler for me

[earnest olive]

would recommend at least a 240mm aio or top end air cooler for 5800x

[shut rampart]

wait it doesn't

[earnest olive]

yeah

[shut rampart]

f

[earnest olive]

5800x is super hard to cool there's no point in bundling a stock cooler

my 360mm aio does not have a fun time

[shut rampart]

will it fit in my case is the other question

not really good at pcs..

and I dont think it will have enough power

for the cpu

[earnest olive]

nope you're fine on power draw

[shut rampart]

or I can get a 5600x

for like $200

[earnest olive]

your case supports maximum 280mm aio

i'd go for the 5600x over the 5800x

[shut rampart]

alright

[earnest olive]

my 3080 is too weak to keep up with my 5800x

[shut rampart]

so 5600x

[earnest olive]

5600x won't have any trouble keeping up with a 5700xt

[shut rampart]

stock cooler fine?

[earnest olive]

would not recommend

but it doesn't catch fire at least

[shut rampart]

alright and 280 I guess

any suggestion?

[earnest olive]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XM7P1CF

this is my recommendation for air cooler on a 5600x

comes in black, white, or white with rgb

take your pick

[shut rampart]

black to match my case

[earnest olive]

👍

5600x is much easier to cool than 5800x

you can get away with the stock cooler but i'd get the pa120 you can clearly afford it if you were looking at the 5800x

[shut rampart]

after these upgrades any thing else I should work on

[earnest olive]

meh

[shut rampart]

prob the case

its not mesh

[earnest olive]

there are some small upgrades you could do but nothing major

if your temps are high you could take the front panel off

if not then it doesn't matter that much

[shut rampart]

right now with discord telegram and chrome its at 53c

well

[earnest olive]

what do you get in gaming

[earnest olive]

use hwinfo over hwmonitor

hwmonitor is bad

and especially worse on ryzen

[shut rampart]

let me load a game real quick

GAME: Rocket league

[earnest olive]

seems fine, how about gpu?

[shut rampart]

either a new case

or

maybe memory?

idk

prob a case

tho one of the guys said that Im not using the gpu efficiently or what ever something about the monitors

[earnest olive]

do you have 1080p 60hz monitor or something

if so then that's your first upgrade

[storm isle]

Yo

Can I add u to send a pi

Pic

[earnest olive]

not necessary, my dms are open

@storm isle do you happen to have corsair RAM?

[storm isle]

No hyperx

[earnest olive]

what is your cpu, motherboard, and ram kit?

[storm isle]

Ram kit?

[earnest olive]

memory

[storm isle]

Like ssd or how many gigs of ram

[earnest olive]

...ram speed

what did you buy

[storm isle]

Intel core i9-9900K, Z390 PHATOM GAMING SLI/AC

The ram is 288 pin ddr4

[earnest olive]

ram

SPEED

i did not ask for pin count

[storm isle]

DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)

[earnest olive]

what timings

[storm isle]

16 18 18

[earnest olive]

that ram shouldn't be fast enough to have stability concerns on z390

but try disabling xmp and see if it still crashes

[storm isle]

What's that

[earnest olive]

download hwinfo64 and open sensors only mode

show me what it says under memory timings

[storm isle]

Can't find that

[earnest olive]

look harder then

[storm isle]

Wooow

Is it in the summary?

[earnest olive]

maybe

[storm isle]

How'd you find it

Wait

[earnest olive]

in sensor mode

[storm isle]

I found it

[earnest olive]

[storm isle]

Shut up

[earnest olive]

lol alright i guess i will shut up and stop helping you then

👍

[abstract ridge]

lol

[analog pulsar]

I would like your help

[abstract ridge]

help me afford a better gaming setup

[storm isle]

omg

[earnest olive]

yes?

[storm isle]

wait

still help me

[abstract ridge]

help you what

[analog pulsar]

what should i buy for my pc bc i need to buy something so i can build up credit

[abstract ridge]

phanteks m1

[storm isle]

i told him to shut up now he wont help me

[earnest olive]

there are better things you could buy lol

no point upgrading 11900K 3090

[abstract ridge]

oh

[analog pulsar]

see what happens when you are rude

[analog pulsar]

well yes

[storm isle]

he did it first

[abstract ridge]

lol whats he gonna do

[analog pulsar]

I was thinking storage

[earnest olive]

sure why not

[abstract ridge]

what u need help with

[earnest olive]

1tb?

2tb?

[abstract ridge]

16tb sata

drive

[analog pulsar]

will this fit

[storm isle]

idk somethings wrong with my pc

[abstract ridge]

yes

[earnest olive]

i mean yeah but do you already have 2 nvme drives?

if not then just get another nvme

[analog pulsar]

no

I have hdd

[abstract ridge]

whats happening

[storm isle]

critical_process_died

on my pc

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive i was thinking sata bc my pc has 5 slots

2 right here

[earnest olive]

@analog pulsar just buy this https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07XHMBQK3

better than sata and only $73

[storm isle]

wait seriously it is

[analog pulsar]

well i already have a M.2

[earnest olive]

you should have 2 or more slots

do you know what board it is?

any z590 should have at least 2

[analog pulsar]

yea i have 2

[abstract ridge]

what speeds

[earnest olive]

just... read the link?

[abstract ridge]

3200mhz?

[earnest olive]

...what

ssd speeds are not measured in mhz

[abstract ridge]

ghz?

[analog pulsar]

I think this is in my pc rn

[earnest olive]

you can add another one

[analog pulsar]

yea

[storm isle]

anything on this orange

[analog pulsar]

👀

whats a SE bc its 99$ but SN750 w/o Heatsink is $134

[earnest olive]

SE is a worse version of normal SN750

do you happen to want to play bf2042?

have heard the game is pretty bad

[analog pulsar]

it can get better but BF is out of stock anyway lol

[jagged ember]

I wouldn't get bf2042

huge letdown, a lot of bugs and missing features that exist in previous games

[potent portal]

And no single player right?

[jagged ember]

yep

[potent portal]

Also very poorly optimized, you can forget 100 fps unless you memory overclock

[jagged ember]

no single player lol

they shoulda just pulled a halo infinite

[potent portal]

Free MP and paid SP?

[jagged ember]

yeah

then people wouldn't complain nearly as much about preordering the game lol

[potent portal]

It makes sense as a business model, that's how mobile games make money after all

[tranquil marsh]

Can someone help me? I just bought a graphics card off of Ebay and now I'm not sure if I have everything I need for it because it has a water block

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N3080GAMINGOC-WB-10GD-rev-20#kf

Does this require extra components, like a radiator? Or does it work out of the box?

[potent portal]

The waterforce models are usually all in one units. It includes the block, pump, radiator, fans, etc

Oh but that one looks different

[potent portal]

Yeah you need the parts for a custom loop. Radiator, tubes, etc

[tranquil marsh]

Thank you. I'll try to cancel the order on Ebay but I might be stuck

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MLyHYg Any changes I should make?

[frank stirrup]

1 sec

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bbkHYg

@little osprey

[mossy venture]

dif ssd dif mobo and dif aio

not sure exactly which ones, but i know that ssd is overpriced as well as the mobo\

and the lian li galahad and artic freezer ii are better than that aio for similar prices iirc

[frank stirrup]

Look at the list I sent

@mossy venture

[mossy venture]

lmao

[frank stirrup]

I am speed

When Pato isnt here because hes speeder

[mossy venture]

pato is speedest

[little osprey]

thats it?
just the sn750 so far
or are you upgrading it

[sharp tundra]

@potent portal you still awake? i discovered that i am able to alt+tab on warzone to go to desktop, and i do have audio, should i still do what you recommended before?

everytime i do try and tab back to warzone tho it does just go black again

i think the issue might be that the game resolution is set higher than the monitor and its causing it to weird stuff

[limber oyster]

well...imma go thru IBP for my next desktop

[limber oyster]

that would do it lol

[sharp tundra]

anyway i can change it outside of game?

since i get a blackscreen everytime i tab

[limber oyster]

i dont think so, just play at the monitors resolution

thatll fix it

[sharp tundra]

well i cant tab to the game without a blackscreen, so i cant change the games resolution

i fixed it, i was able to change resolution through NVE

[little osprey]

so basically a buggy, unpolished version of the normal ssd?

[frank stirrup]

??

[little osprey]

it's a battlefield 2042 joke

did you actually not get it lol

[obsidian wigeon]

se

not second edition

but uh.. crappy edition

i can't say the other word

[frank stirrup]

What are you basing the joke off tho

[humble fossil]

hello

May I know why the price of the products changes in the basket?

[frank stirrup]

Huh?

Like prices changing after u add them to basket?

That happens because prices of parts fluctuates

And when you add to basket you arent reserving parts or prices

Its simply a list of things u mean to buy

Things can go out of stock after they are in ur basket too

Happens on all websites afaik

@humble fossil

[little osprey]

that's weird, the reply thing didnt show up on your end

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589689072692494356/912914093030117386/unknown.png it was in response to this lol

[frank stirrup]

Ahhhhh

I see

I understan now

LMAO

[little osprey]

bruh

[humble fossil]

@frank stirrup The items were in the basket before and I looked at the price and after a while it changed

[frank stirrup]

Already explained it

[untold vessel]

@fossil cedar Pato! I need your Godly PC wizard Skills! Can you make a custom gaming build list that maximizes performance for $1,000? We’re going to build it ourselves, My friend just got more money

Also, if ANYONE has a maxed-out performance-for-dollar build list for $1,000 please share it!

[idle nimbus]

4090ti

dang

thats totally a gpu

as of rn

[untold vessel]

I got that 9090 😎

Speaking of I have to change my name to 13900K now

[fossil cedar]

You know they gonna have to wait/run without a gpu for a while right

[idle nimbus]

should’ve got the 6969ti

smh

[untold vessel]

Yeah no problem! They’ll use an iGPU for now!

[fossil cedar]

Okay

[untold vessel]

They’ll just be doing some light minecraft in the meantime

[untold vessel]

Thank you Pato!!! Just make a $1,000 build that’s maxed out in every category besides a GPU, and by the time the market goes down he’ll have another $600-$700 to spend

[humble fossil]

But it changes and the difference is clear

[frank stirrup]

Yes and I already explained why

[humble fossil]

I don't think it should change much

[frank stirrup]

Doesnt matter. Prices of parts fluctuate and thats a fact.

What we think of it doesnt matter

Prices change

The only way to guarantee that the price you see is what you are gonna end up paying is using the buy button and buying it

Not the add to cart button

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HtV2gt

Ohh

Well no need

[humble fossil]

I mean, for example, the price is 700, and it changes to 750

[frank stirrup]

How many times do I have to explain it man? Prices of parts change

Thats how things work

[untold vessel]

Oh! Thank you Pato! You actually have $500 more to work with! You can use all $1,000 minus the GPU!

[fossil cedar]

Prices change all the time, can go off promo/go down to compete with other retailers, go up because stock is low and they don't wanna sell out completely etc

[fossil cedar]

Not much point doing that tbh

[frank stirrup]

Pato

5600g

Or 5800g

Dew it

[untold vessel]

Why so?

[humble fossil]

I don't like itthanks

[humble fossil]

I don't like itthanks

[frank stirrup]

Literally doesnt matter if anyone likes it tho

Also I guarantee that if you bought it when price was down and it went up soon after you would be happy about it and you would love it

[fossil cedar]

Well 1 diminishing returns, 2 your mate is okay playing Minecraft for the next year- 2 years?

[humble fossil]

idk

[frank stirrup]

Please lets not be a hypocrite

[untold vessel]

That’s right! He’s only doing minecraft!

[frank stirrup]

It is what it is

[humble fossil]

ok

thanks all

[fossil cedar]

He's only using it for Minecraft full stop?

[frank stirrup]

You have to do parts that only you wanna buy

Pato has it worse

He has to change what he recommends every week because prices change

[fossil cedar]

Lol

[untold vessel]

Yep! And YouTube, of course.

[fossil cedar]

Then why spend 1k lol

[untold vessel]

So when he gets a GPU, he can play AAA games!

[fossil cedar]

Yes, then do my list or your mate won't be able to play AAA games for at least a year, if not 2.5 years or so

[untold vessel]

Or is what you’re saying is that by the time GPU prices go down, the new gen parts (whatever they may be), will be significantly better? And, if that’s the case, he should just wait because by the time GPU prices go down Today’s Parts that are worth $1,000 won’t be compatible / worth it when mixing in a GPU from 1-2 years from now?

But, if he wants to play AAA games now, he should just accept the high GPU prices and buy a prebuilt at this point?

[idle nimbus]

pardon my interruption, what the hell is AAA games?

[untold vessel]

No problem! AAA games, or, “Triple A” games, are to my understanding, any huge, popular, graphic intense game

Such as GTA V or Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

[frank stirrup]

High budget big studio games

In the video-game industry, AAA is an informal classification used to categorise games produced and distributed by a mid-sized or major publisher, which typically have higher development and marketing budgets than other tiers of games.

[potent portal]

Demanding at their time but both of these are outdated

Modern example would be cyberpunk 2077

[frank stirrup]

I solved ur about me

Ur online

[untold vessel]

I see! Thank you! He wants it now, however and if he wants to play AAA games now, that Prebuilt is his best Choice?

[fossil cedar]

For 1k, the 2nd option i sent yesterday, the 6600xt one from best buy, just upgrade the ram to a 50$ 3200cl16 kit of 2x8gb like i said yesterday

[idle nimbus]

[formal tundra]

looking for some build help. I have a ASUS TUF Gaming Z590-Plus WiFi with G.SKILL 32GB Model F4-3600C18D-64GVK . When I power on the motherboard the Q-led stops at "DRAM Yellow". I have tried every combo I can think of. 2 sticks, 1 sticks, the other stick etc. per the manual using DIMM_A2 for one stick and adding DIMM_B2 for the other. I now have checked the ASA QVL and I dont see my memory listed however the tool doesnt make a ton of sense as it allow you to filter by say 8x8B and it lists memory. But the motherboard only has for DIMM slots. that doesnt really compute so I dont know that i trust that tool). I am not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting from here

[formal tundra]

I checked g.skill ram configurator and it lists that memory for that mboard

[fossil cedar]

Try clearing cmos

Also qvl means basically nothing

[little osprey]

clear cmos?

[fossil cedar]

You have a board with 2 bios's?

[little osprey]

i have a few boards with 2 bios's

[slender wyvern]

Got an free computer the other day and tore it apart to clean it. It was really dusty. Put it all back together and powered on and the fans and CPU fans started to spin but shut down after 5 seconds. I tried the one ram at a time and same thing. Made sure all connections are seated good and correct and after the 4 time the fans don't spin at all any more. Could my bored be bad? What could cause nothing to happen tested psu and it's good.

Me typing is opening the box.
Once I'm done typing, am I still online? Or did I immediately exit?

[little osprey]

the point is you were literally online

😔

so we know what your current status was

Okay how’s this build made it on new egg looking for something portable doesn’t have to be op in power just fast enough for 60 fps

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bv3W2V

it seems you are online again

[potent portal]

Sure, I was at the time. Once the box is closed again, the status may change.

[little osprey]

"schrodinger's mod" more like "sometimes schrodinger's mod"

[fossil cedar]

60 fps in what? Also I'd change almost everything in that pc

What's your budget btw?

[little osprey]

If I save up anything

Fighting games mostly

@fossil cedar

Like tekken dbfz

Emulators

[fossil cedar]

Okay and do you really need 6tb of storage?

[little osprey]

I have a lot of games @fossil cedar

[fossil cedar]

Well how much would you like to spend?

6tb worth 👀

[frank stirrup]

Same and you dont need 6tb

[fossil cedar]

That's like 12 cods

[frank stirrup]

I have a seperate downloads drive because I hate deleting

[frank stirrup]

60

100gb per

[fossil cedar]

Is it? Thought it was like 500 lol

[frank stirrup]

Nah

Warzone is 80gb

[fossil cedar]

Ahh

@little osprey need wifi?

[formal tundra]

I wondered if it was useless (qvl) but its part of their troubleshooting steps. Will try clearing CMOS. Both Mboard and memory are brand new. everything in this build is new except the case

[little osprey]

@fossil cedar anywhere from $500 - $2500 like I said I’m not really limited when it comes to spending. But this is a first build so I don’t want to go to crazy and at times yes I’ll need Wi-Fi maybe because again portable and also this just for everyday use as wel

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/33wDp2 I'd do this

[little osprey]

Thanks

[fossil cedar]

Np

[formal tundra]

I tried clearing CMOS bit no change. I removed all un-neccesarry connections (sata, audio etc) still no change. ugh

[brave jetty]

hello everyone
could someone help me find a ram compatible with this laptop

[stoic island]

Test one stick at a time and clear cmos before each try

[trail sundial]

Can someone please show me where an m.2 drive would be installed in this laptop?

[stoic island]

How much ram do you need? Any ddr4 3200 sodimm should work, it has 2 sodimm slots.

[brave jetty]

64

[peak ginkgo]

Any ddr4 3200 sodimm will work

[fossil cedar]

64?!? Why

[peak ginkgo]

For the flex

[stoic island]

Try
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/N82E16820374025

[formal tundra]

ok good idea. the manual states for clearing cmos: short two pins power on and then press delete during boot process. For me there is no boot process as nothing displays on the monitor and no q-led light up. I also did their clear the CMOS RTC RAM data which adds removing the battery. So far no luck but will try what you said

[stoic island]

@brave jetty Assuming you're in Israel, you might find cheaper local alternatives, in that case, any 2x32gb ddr4 3200 sodimms will work

[brave jetty]

3d modeling

[brave jetty]

i will check thanks

[stoic island]

I prefer just doing the battery method, which tends to be more effective than using jumper. Quick description of what I'm referring to as battery method @formal tundra
