[mossy venture]

Weren't talking about gsync before that

[gaunt cedar]

so my 32'' lg is 32GK650F-B it is g-sync compatible as well?

[mossy venture]

If it says it in the specs, it should be is

[stoic island]

But anyways afaik HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 are getting mixed up now, all going to be called HDMI 2.1, and supposedly what we knew as HDMI 2.1 with the higher bandwidth is being renamed to HDMI 2.1a or something like rhat

[gaunt cedar]

yeah i did but i didnt know freesync monitor is compatible with gsync as well

[stoic island]

Freesync is going to be g sync compatible 99% of the time

[mossy venture]

Fun

I'd seen some articles mentioning how 2.1 might not actually be 2.1 but I hadn't paid attention to it

[gaunt cedar]

it's my first time owning these monitor so im not sure but does that mean in the game setting I can just turn gsync on and it work just like that? sr for the dumb question

[mossy venture]

Just read the title lol

[fossil cedar]

Hdmi 2.1 can now mean hdmi 2.1 and hdmi 2.0 basically

[mossy venture]

What gpu do you have?

[stoic island]

G sync will be a setting in nvcp, and you should be able to just turn it on

[mossy venture]

^^

Nvcp is nvidia control panel right?

[gaunt cedar]

im using a ryzen 5 2600x, rtx 2070, 32gb ddr4

[stoic island]

Ya

[gaunt cedar]

what is nvcp?

[mossy venture]

Oh right gsync is a nvidia thing isn't it

[stoic island]

Nvidia control panel

[mossy venture]

That was a stupid question lmao

[mossy venture]

Do you know how to change the refresh rate? When I got my monitor I ran it at 60hz for 3 months before I found out you have to change it lmao

[gaunt cedar]

oh that i know hehe

[mossy venture]

Just checking lol

I felt so dumb when I found that out

[gaunt cedar]

found the setting is it in nvcp -> display -> Set up Gsync?

[mossy venture]

The whole time I was going "I really can't tell a difference between low and high refresh rate"

[gaunt cedar]

glad you found it out it was night and da yfor me

[mossy venture]

And then I found out I was just dumb lmao

[stoic island]

@gaunt cedar and on the monitor in question, turn on Freesync or g sync in the monitor osd

[topaz kestrel]

I’m ngl I literally noticed no difference from 60hz to 120hz 😭

[stoic island]

If g sync compatible doesn't show up in nvcp, you probably didn't enable Freesync in the monitor osd

[gaunt cedar]

what's osd?

[stoic island]

On screen display

Usually a knob on the back of the monitor

Or some buttons on the back/side to pull it up

[gaunt cedar]

found the option its currently off but do i turn it on Extended or basic?

[stoic island]

Freesync? Should be basic

[gaunt cedar]

thank you it's on now

and in the nvcp setting im seeing a checkbox for Enable G-sync, G-sync compatible with the monitor in question as well

[stoic island]

That should work now

Extra bits you can look at for g sync if you want
https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14

[gaunt cedar]

will do

[shrewd fjord]

@fossil cedar I have a chance to get a gtx 980 for about $220 it has three fans and is in great condition should I buy it? Or should I look for a gtx 970 the lowest I'm finding for those are about $190

@stoic island

^^

[simple olive]

I would say that's a good deal, the gtx 980 is similar to a 1650 super and those go for ~$400

So half cost for +65% wattage isn't bad

[shrewd fjord]

Even a 970 beats the 1650

The 1650 is just a well known card but in fps the 970 beats the 1650 in almost everything

Like a 7% increase

[fossil cedar]

I'd get the 980

[shrewd fjord]

I just won the bid :)

[fossil cedar]

congrats

[little osprey]

even in gaming?

[topaz kestrel]

Ye lol

Literally couldn’t notice

Idk if I’m brain damaged but like

It didn’t look different

Xd

Pro 120hz clip

[autumn wolf]

depends on the person, some can tell the difference some cant

and then theres shroud who was able to tell the difference between 240hz and 360hz

[languid nimbus]

Dayum

[topaz kestrel]

Prolly cus I’m trash at games lol

[errant fiber]

yeah but can shroud tell the difference between 360 and 390

[hidden vault]

i can

its a difference of 30hz

sorry -30

cuz 360-390=-30

[strong raft]

I read all but last 2 pages & am now highly enlightened. I'm officially hunting for a 144+ Hz display.

[willow garden]

Claw nite

[simple olive]

It's an 8% difference

I can see the difference between 100 and 165 though

Never tried higher monitors tbh

[frank stirrup]

Very very diminishing returns

Doesnt scale linearly at all

[simple olive]

Iceclaw meant looking at the numbers and ignoring what they stand for

[strong raft]

@topaz kestrel I still want to see max gpu temps in TimeSpy or something 🤘. That cooler deffo isn't identical to mine, but probably also overkill anyways.

[topaz kestrel]

I don’t own timespy xd

I’m also not at home rn xd

Wait isn’t timespy free on the demo of 3dmark?

I’d so I have it

[strong raft]

Yep, no rush also. 3dmark keeps going to $4.50 so I bought the complete version.

[fossil cedar]

timespy is free btw

3d mark demo on steam

[topaz kestrel]

If I didn’t spend 850 this month I probably would’ve bought 3D mark lol

[topaz kestrel]

Yes sir

[fossil cedar]

jeez on waht

[topaz kestrel]

Pc parts + bus fare + presents etc

Lol

4 family members have birthdays in January ;-;

Literally makes me go poor

Lol

[fossil cedar]

oof

[strong raft]

They add up. I didn't plan for $600ish, but it'll be good to have all non-gpu parts from within the last 12 months . Now obv a display eventually because old Acer 60Hz is punishment to the eyes.

[topaz kestrel]

My g24c6 is a champ

Also @strong raft the cooler on the 1070/1080 is basically the same apart from a gtx logo and ur heatsinks are black not silver

@fossil cedar I need yo help

I forgot to ask earlier

[strong raft]

My heatsink is normal silver/aluminum, but it's actually the slightly upgraded one (11GHz vram model).

[topaz kestrel]

I need big brain pato ;-;

[strong raft]

. Pato is like batman, he'll suddenly appear soon enough.

[topaz kestrel]

Hopefully lol

Imagine he just fell asleep

I’d cry

[fossil cedar]

whats up

[topaz kestrel]

Pog Les go

Ok

https://sierra-indigo.com/hp-615943-001-motherboard-z210-workstation-system-board/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiZGs0p2j9QIVhO7tCh25lQ-aEAQYASABEgKGlfD_BwE

Would that work with that

With an e3-1270v2

I already have the mobo and cpu

From old pc

[fossil cedar]

should do

[topaz kestrel]

Ok ty

[fossil cedar]

np

[topaz kestrel]

I deleted that cus it looks like good deal

[fossil cedar]

lol

[topaz kestrel]

I’m gonna try and run an mc server of it and see how it goes xd

[topaz kestrel]

@fossil cedar I just bought another monitor and that ram, I need to stop

Atleast for this month anyway

Lol

[fossil cedar]

lol

[jagged ember]

lmao

just this month I won't buy pc parts

but next month? buy double the amount of pc parts

[topaz kestrel]

Ain’t no way, I’d go broke lol

[jagged ember]

yeah, unless you're like

Elon or Jeff besos

or any other millionaire I guess

[desert gulch]

Ayeeee @jagged ember new rank

[jagged ember]

yep

I'm no longer level 69

[desert gulch]

Very nice

[jagged ember]

not anymore

this is the cost of becoming more powerful

[desert gulch]

True

[topaz kestrel]

Just get to 42069

Only take a few lifetimes

[fringe iris]

Does powercolor itx rx5600xt have raytracing

[desert gulch]

no

[fringe iris]

Dang alright Thank you

[desert gulch]

newer rtx cards are where you should go if looking for ray tracing

?

[jagged ember]

not an actual mobo standard

cause the size can vary a lot

why eatx tho

[fringe iris]

How bad is an rx5600xt ITX

[vague oracle]

That’s completely useless for 99% of users unless you are OCing with LN2

[desert gulch]

give us some metrics

what is "bad" in your eyes?

[fringe iris]

as in performance.. temps.. fps? Graphics?

[desert gulch]

its alright

[fringe iris]

What is it compared to in nvidia

2060? 1080?

Definitely not 1080 but 2060

[vague oracle]

You’re paying way too much for a lot of features you’re never going to actually use

[desert gulch]

depends on specific model

but 2060 super is fair

[jagged ember]

wasn't the z690 setting itself on fire

[fringe iris]

Gotcha

[jagged ember]

and Asus was doing a full recall

[desert gulch]

2060s a lil better but close

[fringe iris]

Alright Thank you appreciate it

[little osprey]

[strong raft]

Right angle 24pin and stuff on that? Every mobo needs it.

[hidden vault]

this

pc would look so much cleaner

[fossil cedar]

I feel like it would be more of a pain to get out lol

[hidden vault]

true

[frank stirrup]

Powersupplys should have a 90 degree bend to the end of their 24 pin cables

That is the answer

Straight normal stuff on the motherboard

[formal girder]

Adapters exist for such reasons

[fringe iris]

This guy missed a part when he sent me the pc he forgot the power cord.. he told me it was a I SHENG IS-14 to SP-305B E55943 10A 125V 1250W power cord is that a cord I specifically need or can i use just about any cord like it i have a KDK-F KS-31 10A 125V

[potent portal]

Power cord as in the one that goes from the wall to the power supply? Any old cord works

[fringe iris]

Yes

Thank you i just didnt know if maybe it needed a certain cord.. I know it sounds stupid but ive never had a pc before

[potent portal]

There's some power supplies that don't even come with the power cord, since it's such a common cable a lot of people have like 3 in a box.

You can find them at goodwill for 50 cents

[hazy urchin]

Hey i put together this rig is this okay or do i need to change something any Suggestions?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kZYmfP oh and instead the 1660 it will be the 3050

[potent portal]

What do you have already?

And what's your budget?

[covert vapor]

Get rid of the Sata SSD and upgrade the NVME drive to a better value 1tb model. Get a different case, H510i is meh

Also, you can get cheaper 16gb 3200CL16 ram

[desert gulch]

Also change out psu

And 11th just isn't worth anymore

I'd go 12400f and b660 once more are available

[earnest olive]

I still love my 11800H

:(

[covert vapor]

Also, cpu cooler is an odd choice, what price are you getting that it? Or do you already have it? Because Vetroo v5 is pretty much one of if not the best best budget air coolers value wise

[earnest olive]

11400 is more than enough CPU for the 3050 if it's at a good price

[fossil cedar]

Ram and gpu are horrifically overpriced, power supply is meh, I'd go with different motherboard, storage choices are bleh, case is terrible, cooler is meh

[desert gulch]

Forgot to mention cpu is meh jowadays

Since 12400f

[fossil cedar]

11400 choice is fine, can't recommend 12400 yet because mo b660/h670 yet

[desert gulch]

Oh there's b660 out rn

It's been out for a few days

[fossil cedar]

Ohh i checked on Thursday and there wasn't, pog

[desert gulch]

Just not any super good ones yet

Asus released their prime

[fossil cedar]

Just get this instead
https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali560/p/N82E16883360190

[hazy urchin]

Sorry didnt See it i alredy have the storage expect the nvme

[desert gulch]

At that point may as well get Nzxt starter pro bld kit

It was in stock last I checked

[fossil cedar]

Oh true

[hazy urchin]

Oh okay thank you i will check it

[desert gulch]

https://nzxt.com/product/bld-kit-starter-pro-pc

This is a great option with a new psu

[fossil cedar]

Might wanna wait a tad longer

[desert gulch]

Oh yeah for sure, I was just pointing out that the chipset was released

[desert gulch]

.

[fossil cedar]

Ahh i didn't see that

[desert gulch]

Yeah someday it'll be reasonable

[fossil cedar]

Ik that i meant boards in retailers

[fossil cedar]

I'd say there should be decent options in a week or 2

[desert gulch]

Hopefully

[marsh sluice]

What air cooler should I go with for a 5950x? I currently have a fuma 2 with a 5900x that is ok, but I don't think it would quite cool enough for the big brother. I might consider an AIO, but the biggest one that would fit the case is 280mm and I am ignorant on AIOs.

[fossil cedar]

You should be using an arctic liquid freezer ii 360mm/420mm /ek rgb 360mm/lian li 360mm

[marsh sluice]

won't fit the case. 280 max.

[fossil cedar]

280 will do

[desert gulch]

If their case is that tight they may run into issues with how thicc lf2 is

[fossil cedar]

Possibly

But ek make a 280 rgb now so

[desert gulch]

Ye

[stoic island]

Grand macho is basically the best air cooler if you still want to go air

[gaunt moat]

Just posted my 2nd pc build if anyone wants to see and critique it

[hidden vault]

@gaunt moat looks cool

you cable managed it pretty well considering the little space you have

but show me the back panel

[gaunt moat]

Uhhhh let me get some zip ties then maybe

[analog pulsar]

@gaunt moat i like the nzxt cooler

RGB RGB RGB RGB

[gaunt moat]

Its a low rgb build because its being used as a media/light streaming pc

[hidden vault]

my pc doesnt have much rgb

cuz rgb is expensive in brazil

[analog pulsar]

oh nice

[gaunt moat]

I was happy i get temps in the mid 60's on the cpu running cinebench r23 for 30 mins

And gpu sitting at a comfy 70-73

On cyberpunk

1440p maxed

[fossil cedar]

I mean if you insist, kraken meh and overpriced, razer case , is your ram cl16? Probably could have gotten cheaper power supply

[gaunt moat]

The price wasnt my concern

The looks and functionality was

But thanks for the feedback

The ram is cl 14

[fossil cedar]

Nice ram

[gaunt moat]

I got the kraken on sale a couple months ago for 100$

[fossil cedar]

You could probs oc to 3800mhz c14

[fossil cedar]

240mm? Or 280?

[gaunt moat]

240

But its good enough

[fossil cedar]

It's okay but ehh yeah

Arctic liquid, is like 85 for 240 and good bit better, and and offset mount is

[gaunt moat]

I wanted the corsair white 240 but i couldnt find it in stock when i was looking

[stoic island]

Galahad.

[gaunt moat]

I think i did okay considering prices of things

I even got the 3070 for 700$

[stoic island]

Okay is never enough, strive to be best :D

[gaunt moat]

Whole build i managed under 2k i think that close to a best for an itx build

[stoic island]

Itx doesn't have to be expensive

Like nr200 isn't much more expensive than an ATX case, v sfx gold isn't much more than a decent ATX PSU, only thing is board being 50-100$ more

[gaunt moat]

I had the 200p it did horible for the things i was using it for and it nearly caught a psu on fire the case has permanit marks where it melted the paint

[stoic island]

Wack

[fossil cedar]

Nr200p sucks with glass panel, with mesh it's good tho

Where you using the glass panel

[soft iris]

im getting my pc build this upcoming week. i need to get a gaming tv. i was looking at 55" tvs that were around 500-600$ CAD. Any suggestions

[stoic island]

why a 'gaming tv'?

Because those tend to be a few thousand

[jagged ember]

i'd just get a 27" monitor and call it a day

[long rock]

Cable management 100

🙃

[little osprey]

Lol

[zealous edge]

Something is going on with friends pc.

@potent portal sorry for ping.

[obsidian wigeon]

hdd might be dying

[zealous edge]

That's what I told him.

[obsidian wigeon]

it's a smart warning

[zealous edge]

But boost drive is on SDD

[potent portal]

The drive is failing the smart diagnostic on boot.

[lime condor]

Is there any build possible under 800usd

[obsidian wigeon]

it just warns you that the drive is failing

[lime condor]

That can run fps games smoothly

[zealous edge]

Told him to disconnect the HDD

No boot.

[obsidian wigeon]

huh, weird

[zealous edge]

Exactly.

That's why I'm here

Told him to try to run into bios.

[potent portal]

Open crystal disk info in windows and it'll read the smart data

[lime condor]

guys I wanna ask is there any build possible under 800usd.That can run fps games smoothly

I already have a 3050 ti graphics card

[zealous edge]

Alright.

[potent portal]

Oh the $800 doesn't include the gpu? That's easy then

[lime condor]

but idk if it can over 90 fps

on fps games

[obsidian wigeon]

3050 ti?

did you mean 3060 ti

[zealous edge]

3050 ti isn't that for laptops?

Only in laptops.

[obsidian wigeon]

3050 ti is only in laptops rn

3050 is not

[lime condor]

oh yea that one

I got it mixed up

[obsidian wigeon]

ooh nice

yeah 3060ti is more than enough for that

assuming 1080p

it can even do 1440p well

[lime condor]

somehow I got my hands on one for quite cheap actually

took some time though

[obsidian wigeon]

that's lucky

3060ti has 2080s perf

[lime condor]

I got my rtx for 340

cheaper than normal

I think

or did I get scammed

meh

[obsidian wigeon]

that's cheaper

so yeah

you're hella lucky

[long rock]

🙃

We tried, it’s temporary untill I can find something more permanat

[gaunt moat]

No i wasnt my parts just ran to hot for it to handle even with the 2 extra fans on top and 1 extra on thr bottom undernieth the gpu

[left forum]

someone make sure I'm not going crazy but a 700 watt power supply should be able to handle a 5900x and a 1080 right? I've been getting random shutdowns and I'm pretty sure it's the power supply cuz I do a psu stress test on OCCT and that triggers it

[potent portal]

Which 700W power supply exactly?

And how old is it?

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[left forum]

sx700-g, 2 years or so?

still under warranty so if i can definitively say it's the problem i can get it RMA'ed

[obsidian wigeon]

what case and cooler are you running?

it could be cpu running too hot idk

[left forum]

nah temps are fine

NR200 with side mount 280mm AIO

have arctic P-12s underneath and as exhaust for my 1080 too so temps there are fine

[obsidian wigeon]

alright

im starting to suspect it's the psu

not suspect, pretty certain actually

[left forum]

yeah I've run some tests through OCCT

first couple times i ran it it would shutdown midway through

[obsidian wigeon]

i think rma'ing the psu would be your answer

[left forum]

but it's somehow getting through now

[obsidian wigeon]

hm

[left forum]

yeah that's what I suspected thanks for confirming

I have another PSU but it's not SFX so i'd have to run out of the case

but it'll be enough to test it

[obsidian wigeon]

but shutdowns when temps are fine is real likely psu anyway

[left forum]

and use it while the RMA process happens

[obsidian wigeon]

yeah you can do that

[analog pulsar]

would you guys say 2c and 8GB is for gaming

on vm

i had 4 and it was 100% while in the game

maybe 3

[dusty arrow]

what game is this D

[analog pulsar]

state of decay 2

[jagged ember]

you could

just test it out

[fossil cedar]

Weird

[upper rock]

samsung has launched smart monitor

is it good? what are your thoughts?

[frank stirrup]

smart monitors are big dumb

get a tv if u want something stand alone

or hook up a raspberry pi to a normal monitor

[tight sorrel]

just how smart we talking? can it solve trigonometry?

[dense vale]

looking for a build budget is 3k-3500 must include gpu and dual monitors 27 inch

[tight sorrel]

Calling @fossil cedar and @frank stirrup

[frank stirrup]

already on it

[tight sorrel]

legend

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rpy8F8

[pseudo bluff]

I need some advice on pc rn. My budget is $1500 AUS

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/PxMT4d

[runic flare]

Could someone pls make a partpicker list for $1400 aud?

[idle void]

Can someone help me please? I have a lenovo k450e, whats the best graphics card I can upgrade to?

[mossy venture]

Please don't buy that

I canr make a list atm

[pseudo bluff]

I was recommended that

so I'm not excatly sure

[mossy venture]

But I will when I have a moment or someone else will

[pseudo bluff]

Ok

[idle void]

Help :)

[dense vale]

thanks i did a amd build but thinks its meh https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dnbT4d

[frank stirrup]

yeah dont do this

not good

edited my list with a gpu thats in stock btw

[runic flare]

Could someone pls make a partpicker list for $1400 aud?

[frank stirrup]

ive seen u here before

hasnt pato made u lists already?

@runic flare

[fossil cedar]

Id spend tinnyy bit more on ssd personally with that type of build

[frank stirrup]

fair

[dense vale]

ok cool if you wouldnt mind doing a amd build

[fossil cedar]

Yes he has

[frank stirrup]

Why?

[fossil cedar]

12700k at gaming than any cpu amd has out at the moment

[frank stirrup]

theres no reason to go with amd

[dense vale]

ah ok

[frank stirrup]

and you can upgrade to a 12900ks later too

[runic flare]

Yes, I've got many friends, they all have different budgets

I've asked for 3 other friends already who have ordered their parts

So could you please help?

[dense vale]

tbh i havent messed with intel in a long time

[fossil cedar]

Do you need wifi?

[dense vale]

i dont necessarily need it i will keeping both pcs hard wired. one is a gamer the other with be a streaming rig

[frank stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rpy8F8
made it a lil better

[fossil cedar]

There's no point in doing a separate streaming pc

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6C3WYg I'd get this

[dense vale]

i need to be able to connect 3 monitors as well

[frank stirrup]

you can do that

[fossil cedar]

Yeah you can connect 4 monitors to the graphics card and 2 to the motherboard, connecting it to the integrated graphics on the cpu

[dense vale]

ok maybe i just do 1 rig for both then

[fossil cedar]

Yeah do

[dense vale]

guess ill give intel a shot lol

[runic flare]

Could someone pls make a partpicker list for $1400 aud?

[fossil cedar]

I did already

[runic flare]

It was for $2000

[frank stirrup]

hes made 3 one was near 1400

[runic flare]

Only mentioned this today and haven't mentioned anything under 2000

It's fine I'll try make one but I don't know too much

[fossil cedar]

@runic flare https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/cqLpj2

[runic flare]

Tysm, what monitor do you think would be good with this?

[fossil cedar]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/Cnwypg/gigabyte-g24f-238-1920x1080-170-hz-monitor-g24f-sa

Np

[runic flare]

Ty

[pseudo bluff]

Is this a good build for $1700 AUD? https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/w8jq68

[fossil cedar]

No

[tacit maple]

I think you are overpaying for most of that stuff

[pseudo bluff]

What do I change?

[fossil cedar]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4PQLCz

[pseudo bluff]

Do I change anything else because I’m planning to use AMD

[mossy venture]

If you're really that deadset on AMD then find a 3600 used. But amd is not better than intel, and intel is not better than amd

[pseudo bluff]

I was told that AMD can be used for both work and gaming but, intel is more for gaming

[fossil cedar]

[fossil cedar]

I5 11400 is better at gaming, and tied or better in multi core as well as cheaper

[mossy venture]

There's certain softwares that are compatible with one and not the other I believe, but those are few and far between

There's no real difference between the brands other than prices

Well

[fossil cedar]

Nothing that doesn't work on intel, only intel specific things are niche engineering softwares

[mossy venture]

Ofc the cpus have dif perf

11400 beats 3600 pretty well

And tends to be cheaper

[pseudo bluff]

Ah alright

Ok thanks 🙏

Hey guys newb here can I ask questions on pc upgrades here?

[errant fiber]

yes

[solemn mango]

Hey I just got a new gpu for my computer and so far the gameplay is pretty good. Just here to ask if there is anything else I can buy to improve the pc. Or if any of the parts are overkill or just any suggestions

[mossy venture]

How much dud you pay for that

That's not a gaming focused gpu, and your money probably would've been better spent on smthn else

[solemn mango]

The entire thing was about 1.5k

[mossy venture]

WHAT

You extremely overpaid

What currency

[solemn mango]

I know but the FirePro was only $150

Cad

[mossy venture]

So like 1200 usd?

[solemn mango]

1100

I think

[mossy venture]

You can get a full build with a 2060 for that

1k usd

From ABS on newegg

[solemn mango]

Ik I was just uneducated when I first built it

[fossil cedar]

Still yikes

[solemn mango]

I upgraded it from there with the graphics card

And yeah the gpu isn’t a gaming one but it was better than my regular one and it’s actually not bad for gaming

[fossil cedar]

Graphics card and cpu, possibly ram depending what speed it is

[solemn mango]

Yeah the cpu isn’t that good for my build I don’t think

That’s the only thing I really thought I needed new. Anything else?

[mossy venture]

Not an awful price for the gpu ig

[solemn mango]

Also the FirePro was 500 original price and we got a brand new one for 150 so like why not

Yeah

[mossy venture]

That motherboard, how much did it cost?

And the cpu?

[fossil cedar]

They said they bought it a while ago

So I'm guessing last year at least

[mossy venture]

2600x was still overpriced then tho

[fossil cedar]

Ehh tbf it was like sub 100 at one point

[mossy venture]

5000 series was November 2020 right?

[solemn mango]

Motherboard was like 180 CAD

[mossy venture]

Not terrible

Where did all the money go to then?

[solemn mango]

I mean it was the only motherboard that caught my eye at the time with all the features

[mossy venture]

B550s tend to be more worth it for casual users

[solemn mango]

Oh well the case was 200 the cpu was 200 I think the psu was 80 ram was 80 or 120 I think and the hard drive was 100

Then

The monitor was 200

[mossy venture]

Case was 200 :p

Hard drive

[solemn mango]

Yeah it’s a pretty cool case

[mossy venture]

Is it an hdd or ssd

[solemn mango]

Not sure actually 😅

[mossy venture]

When you turn your pc on

How long does it take to turn on

Like 15 seconds or like 3 minutes

[solemn mango]

You mean how long it takes to start up?

[mossy venture]

Yes

[solemn mango]

Like a good 17 seconds

[mossy venture]

Prolly an ssd then

[solemn mango]

Yeah

[mossy venture]

With the price breakdown, other than the case it doesn't sound like you spent as much as you thought on it

[solemn mango]

Oh the PC build was 1100 with the keyboard and mouse and monitor

[mossy venture]

Definitely not the best you could've gotten but I guess it could've been worse

Ah

[solemn mango]

So in total the pc was probaply 700 or 600 I’m assuming

[mossy venture]

Not terrible

Could've gotten smthn with a 1650 at that price

But the case explains it

[solemn mango]

Yeah I know, someone else said my motherboard and cpu was like putting square wheels on a car ;-;

[fossil cedar]

B550s don't work with ryzen 2000

[mossy venture]

They dont?

[fossil cedar]

Nope

If it does it's unofficial support

[mossy venture]

Odd

[solemn mango]

My cpu isn’t the greatest but that’s probably my nest upgrade

[mossy venture]

I'd upgrade the gpu further first

If you're gaming

[solemn mango]

Well yeah but there still is a gpu shortage where I live at least

[mossy venture]

There's a gpu shortage everywhere

But you won't see a big fps increase with a cpu upgrade with your gpu

[solemn mango]

Not where my cousins live

[mossy venture]

I'd spend your time trying to get a decent priced gpu over upgrading your cpu

[loud breach]

Hey

I need help

[mossy venture]

With what?

[loud breach]

Pc won't boot

Turns on

Ram checked

[solemn mango]

Alright thank you I appreciate it 🙌

[loud breach]

Bios reseted

Idk

[mossy venture]

What happens when it turns on

What screen does it show

[loud breach]

None

No signal

I'm using an igpu

[mossy venture]

Check that rhe cable is plugged in right, and that the power cord is plugged into your monitor properly

[loud breach]

I can take a piC

[loud breach]

It is

[haughty void]

next question would be what mobo

to see if its actually compatible

[mossy venture]

Also what cpu

[loud breach]

I5 10400

A h10m+a

-a*

[haughty void]

https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-H110M-A-rev-10#ov

[loud breach]

510

Not 110

[haughty void]

oh

you didnt say 510 sorry

[loud breach]

Ik mb

[haughty void]

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-H510M-A/

[loud breach]

It's compatable

[fossil cedar]

Depending on how quickly you wanna upgrade, I'd wait til ryzen 5000 prices drop or ryzen 50003d

[mossy venture]

Pato or solus do you two happen to know phones?

[haughty void]

are you sure you didnt get the 10400f

[haughty void]

whats up

[loud breach]

Ye

[mossy venture]

My phone has a specific issue where I hit a but it instead clicks q

[haughty void]

what phoone

[mossy venture]

Galaxy a71, prolly just from me dropping it too much...

[loud breach]

I could test my 3070ti with it

If it's compatable

[haughty void]

it is

[mossy venture]

That would be a good idea

[loud breach]

Kk brb lemme get it

[mossy venture]

I have a case on it ofc

[haughty void]

@mossy venture have you tried using a different keyboard?

theres a few aftermarket ones

[mossy venture]

Nah, I'm definitely hitting the a

No on my phone

[haughty void]

yes

[mossy venture]

Wdym?

[haughty void]

googleplay has different keyboard options

[mossy venture]

Like changing the layout?

Ah

[haughty void]

change to a different keyboard app

[blazing aurora]

how can I check much power my system is using (in watts)?

[mossy venture]

Idk if it would help I think the issue is

What's the name of it

Ugh

[haughty void]

hang on i have an idea

[mossy venture]

Accuracy I guess but not on my end?

It thinks I'm hitting one place but I'm hitting below it ig?

If that makes any sense

[haughty void]

https://lifehacker.com/how-to-run-diagnostics-tests-on-your-smartphone-1834010973

[fossil cedar]

You hit a but?

[haughty void]

open that in the dialer

*#0*# hidden diagnostics menu:

and go to touch screentest

there should be that option

[mossy venture]

It didn't open

One sec

[haughty void]

hang on

i think thats the wrong code

[still roost]

Double Break#9726 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[loud breach]

The power supply doesn't have a gpu power cord

[mossy venture]

Rip

[haughty void]

@mossy venture #0#

try that

[mossy venture]

Do you happen to have any gt x10 or x30 gpu?

[haughty void]

according to people its the samsung one

[loud breach]

How do I check

[mossy venture]

And where am I typing that?

[haughty void]

dialer

[loud breach]

Oh

Gt 10 or 30

No

I have n rtx 2060

[loud breach]

Yeah no

[mossy venture]

Didn't work

1030

You have that?

If so that works

[loud breach]

Do those need power supplys

[mossy venture]

No

[loud breach]

Mhmm I could buy one

[mossy venture]

Uhh

Other things you can try first

First, do you have another cord you can try?

[haughty void]

@mossy venturehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.anton_mokshyn.touchscreentest&hl=en_US&gl=US

[mossy venture]

And or monitor?

[loud breach]

Ye and ye

[mossy venture]

That works, thanks

[mossy venture]

Try those

[loud breach]

K

One sec

Back

[loud breach]

Still no signal

[mossy venture]

Are you changing the input on the monitor to match the cord?

[loud breach]

Huh

[mossy venture]

Idk if I phrased that right

[loud breach]

Oh ye

[mossy venture]

Like there's a button to change what it's selecting

[loud breach]

HDMI

[mossy venture]

To input

Alr yeah that narrows it down to most likely be the motherboard or cpu

And you have the 10400

Non f?

[loud breach]

Ye

Could be ram

Hopefully

Tats a lot cheaper

[mossy venture]

Is the cpu new?

[loud breach]

Ye

Still have the box

[haughty void]

@mossy venture did you test the app

[mossy venture]

Then if it's faulty you can just RMA it

[mossy venture]

I'm at school atm so it's downloading very slowly

[loud breach]

Rma?

[haughty void]

oh ok

[mossy venture]

Where you bought it from replaces it

[loud breach]

I bought it from Amazon

[mossy venture]

Could you link me it?

[loud breach]

Uh one sec dure

[mossy venture]

Also the motherboard?

[loud breach]

Wait

My friend bought it

And shipped to me

Should I send us

[frank stirrup]

who did you get it from?

[loud breach]

Amazon

[frank stirrup]

prebuilt?

[loud breach]

No

[frank stirrup]

return the motherboard then

or get it replaced

[loud breach]

Kk

The mother board works tho

It's also past treturn window

[frank stirrup]

try returning the cpu then

im pretty sure its the motherboard

you can also file rma with asus

[strong raft]

Hwinfo64 is good (tons of info), but if you want an actual more surefire way of knowing wattage get something like a kill-a-watt. 👍

[blazing aurora]

thanks. I have hwinfo installed already--where do I find power usage stats?

[fossil cedar]

They will be under one of the headers for your cpu and gpu name and will have a lightning bolt icon beside it

[blazing aurora]

thanks

[thin oar]

pc won’t display, what do I do

I’ve been building a new case for it for the past 4-5 hours

and when I finish it doesn’t display

[strong raft]

Finally got some parts. Budget ssd + semi-modest ram . Cool getting ram that's only 2 months old.

[fossil cedar]

Nicely price kit

[strong raft]

Tried different cables and/or video ports?

[zealous edge]

Reset CMOS.

[severe hull]

Hey guys bought a pre-built last year for my son looking to give it a boost . Yes the specs suck . I know it's an expensive hobby . I wanted to make sure he was Into it . What gpu should I upgrade to ? These are specs Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4G, 500G SSD, 8GB DDR4

[mossy venture]

first off you should upgrade the ram

to 16gb

unless you can get the exact stick you already have youll want to buy a 2x8 kit

2x8 3200c16 would probably be good with your cpu

after that probably a gpu upgrade

[severe hull]

Can the ram be why he is slightly laggy in game

[mossy venture]

what games?

[severe hull]

Forntie

[mossy venture]

16gb is pretty much required now

yeah the rest of the pc can definitely keep up with fortnite

8gb can be very limiting

[severe hull]

Thank you

I appreciate it Bacca

I will try that

[mossy venture]

np

i can suggest a kit of ram if you want

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Cf98TW/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvkb this is good

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zBTzK8/silicon-power-xpower-turbine-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-sp016gxlzu320bda get this, no point paying the extra 10

[mossy venture]

didnt see that

[rugged sparrow]

Hmmm lmao

my laptop not the best at cpu cooling

[strong raft]

Most laptops*. I wouldn't even bother cinebench with some of my older laptops.

[severe hull]

Swapping out ram is plug and play?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah then just enable xmp in your bios

[severe hull]

Thanks boys

[potent portal]

If there's an issue clearing cmos usually fixes

[strong raft]

Is that partly because it also resets the bios completely I'd imagine?

[silent notch]

Is 500w good enough for a 5600x and 4 gb rx 580?

[silk timber]

I have a question. I am installing this b450 and working on plugs. Though by pictures I'm sure you can see what is different. Can I just plug these 2 4 pin plugs in and be okay and if so where should I plug them in at or do I need to buy a power cable adapter

The larger 2 by 4 pin is cpu power 1 and the 2x2 pin is cpu power 2

[stoic island]

The main one you need is the 8 pin, just plug a 4+4 into the 8 pin and you can be done for now

extra 4 pin is extra

[silk timber]

So the cpu power 2 I can leave alone unless I'm trying to overclock things?

[stoic island]

Basically

Likely not going to need it even if OCing

[silk timber]

Awesome. I was a little worried. Appreciate it

[stoic island]

You're welcome

[silk timber]

https://tenor.com/view/jonton-10-ten-gif-12272861

[zealous edge]

Need some help rq.

Created a new partition but still won't allow.

[stoic island]

@zealous edge best to delete all partitions

[zealous edge]

all of them right?

Alright.

He was dumb and installed windows 10 premium instead of home lol

and it didn't allow his pc to run on it lol.

[stoic island]

premium?

[viral ore]

you can switch windows versions without reinstalling

[zealous edge]

From one to another?

[viral ore]

pro to home

[zealous edge]

How do you do that?

[zealous edge]

pro* lol

[viral ore]

i think you can just change product keys

and it should give you the option

ahh wait

[zealous edge]

No

it doesn't

[viral ore]

you can go up, not down

[zealous edge]

I told him to get teamviewer lol

and I tried that for him.

[viral ore]

so you can switch keys to go from home to pro, but not pro to home

[zealous edge]

Yea.

[viral ore]

you could just get a pro key for 3 dollars

on ebay

[errant fiber]

should i put my physX setting in nvidia control panel to my gpu instead of auto?

[zealous edge]

Yea true.

[zealous edge]

I got pro on my old dell pc tho.

For free.

[silk timber]

I have a b450 Carbon pro MB, I have a M.2 crucial mx500. Should I install the m.2 into the m.2 1 or 2 slot?

[zealous edge]

Maybe because it originally came with win 7?

[errant fiber]

help

[zealous edge]

You can do that yes.

If you see that games are going to your CPU instead of the GPU, you can try to change it to only GPU.

[dusk bough]

hello

[zealous edge]

Hey.

what's up?

[dusk bough]

i need to know what ram to get for my prebuilt pc

[zealous edge]

Which do you currently have?

Motherboard? CPU?

How much ram?

[dusk bough]

i have 8 gb ram

and my cpu is Intel Core i3 10300

[errant fiber]

Ok because im playing star citizen and my load on my cpu was 70-80 for 3 hours

switch it to gpu?

temporarily or permanantly?

i have an asus tuf and its pretty solid with cooling sooo

idk

[dusk bough]

B560 DS3H AC-Y1 (U3E1) is the mother board

[obsidian wigeon]

gotta know the spec of the ram

or you can get 16 gigs kit of 3200mhz ddr4

then take the 8 gigs off

[dusk bough]

i got 32 gigs of 3600mhz that doesnt work so ill prob try that 3200

do you need the type size and channle number

[obsidian wigeon]

hm

well the mobo should support the kit

it's a faulty kit then

[dusk bough]

oh really

[obsidian wigeon]

rma it

or return it if you wanna just buy something else

[dusk bough]

im returning it

[obsidian wigeon]

3200mhz should have better chance to work
