yup

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:19 AM

#

Ok, expected

#

not that it really applies to me because my motherboard supports 2666mhz max and only has 2 slots 🤦🏻‍♂️

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 3:20 AM

#

what board and cpu?

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:20 AM

9400f h370

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 3:20 AM

#

oof

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:21 AM

#

yes very sad pc but it does what i want out of it most of the time

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 3:21 AM

#

"most of the time"

#

💀

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:22 AM

#

blue screens, long boot time for no apparent reason, 0 bios settings, ram sucks so theres a ton of lag when game maps have to update chunks and my fps drops to like 20, gpu is like 80c so its starting to thermal throttle, etc

#

at this point im used to it

#

summertime is coming too so temps only get worse from here

wheat coral Apr 17, 2022, 3:25 AM

#

DUDE

#

once you get better/more ram

#

tarkov will run so much better

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:25 AM

i cant

#

i literally

#

cant

#

lol

wheat coral Apr 17, 2022, 3:26 AM

unfortunate

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:26 AM

mb doesnt support faster than 2666mhz and i only have two slots

wheat coral Apr 17, 2022, 3:26 AM

2 slots is fine but

#

speed isnt

just make your own external clockgen and hook it up to the cpu

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

how am i supposed to convince my mom that i need a new pc thinkies

#

she be like: its only been 2 years son

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

break your current one

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

"mom i need a new pc"
"no"
"ratio"

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

Even without the external clock gen you should be able to get at least 103-105

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

"i have no idea how water got in there"

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

potent portal Even without the external clock gen you should be able to get at least 103-105

not with HP BIOS

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

Ah well yes that's a potential problem

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

Bro HP bios lets you set system time, change boot order, and apply changes

#

thats about it

usb 3.0 header on motherboard

your board may not have it, but it may have it

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 3:41 AM

The cable doesn't wanna flex to connect

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 3:41 AM

cyan ravine Apr 17, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

yeah that's the right plug for it

#

can you like, feed it from above to a 90deg right into the mobo?

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

No

#

Cord too thick

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

looks like it should fit

#

bend it before you put it in your pc

#

so its not so resistant

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 3:49 AM

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:56 AM

#

yes its pricey tho

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:02 AM

#

Either I somehow forgot how to put a gpu in

#

Or this one doesn't fit

#

I stg

#

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 4:03 AM

#

you opened the latch on the slot?

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:04 AM

#

Yes

desert gulch Apr 17, 2022, 4:04 AM

#

and took off the pcie slot brackets on the back of the case?

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:04 AM

#

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 4:04 AM

#

Get the bracket flush against the back of the case

#

That might be blocking it, take it out

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:06 AM

#

#

Took the plugs out

#

It don't-

#

IT DOESN'T FIT

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 4:08 AM

#

It will

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:08 AM

#

#

#

SO CLOSE BUT IT JUST WONT

#

#

I feel like it's this

#

Idk though

vague oracle Apr 17, 2022, 4:10 AM

#

Youre missing the PCie slot

#

Missing as in not hitting it

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 4:12 AM

#

It could be the legs there yeah. Get it lined up and slide it down into position.

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:13 AM

#

#

It gets stuck around here

#

#

So it just sits over the sloy

#

Slot

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 4:14 AM

#

That's because it's not lined up right

#

It needs to go down

#

Err, right, as seen in that photo

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:17 AM

#

#

The legs already hit the mobo

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:19 AM

#

if the pcie bracket is hitting the mobo that means it's bent

#

you'll have to bend it back so it goes where it's supposed to

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:20 AM

#

#

What

#

Bend the legs?

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:20 AM

#

i mean i can't tell if it's bent based on that picture

#

do they go straight down?

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:20 AM

#

Yes

#

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:21 AM

#

02shrug guess you're just not installing it correctly then

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 4:21 AM

#

You could loosen a couple mobo screws and shift it a little bit

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:22 AM

#

wouldn't recommend it, you don't want metal anywhere near touching your motherboard

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:23 AM

#

I actually want to throw this

#

These stupid legs

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:23 AM

#

lol throw it to me i'll catch it

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:24 AM

#

I stg why

#

WHY ARE THESE LEGS SO LONG

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:24 AM

#

for structural integrity lol

#

they are supposed to slot into the case a bit

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:25 AM

#

IT HAS NO ROOM

#

COME ON

#

WASTED ALL THIS TIME AND MONEY

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:25 AM

#

this does look a bit bent

#

did you buy a used graphics card?

#

i've gotten a used graphics card with this part bent because the seller didn't pack it well

#

was no problem after bending it back by hand

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:26 AM

#

No

#

Brand new

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:27 AM

#

interesting

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:28 AM

#

Idk how to bend it back without damaging everything

#

It doesn't Budge

#

If this somehow damaged In shipping I'll actually lose it

vague oracle Apr 17, 2022, 4:32 AM

#

Yeah those are bent

#

How much force were you pushing on the GPU to get it in?

#

Because the way its bent makes it look as if you were pushing way too hard when it wasn’t lined up correctly

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:33 AM

#

Barely any

#

It never got close to the slot

#

#

I think the card is just too big....

#

Come on...

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

you didn’t measure before buying…

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:38 AM

My old 1660s fits just fine with the sameish legs

#

Yea

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

That shouldn’t matter…

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:39 AM

#

For the amd it just doesn't fit

You sure? can you send a pic of it not fitting maybe

#

The left side just cannot go down

#

huh, not much of an upgrade

#

Yeah that’s what i said too

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:41 AM

#

ruby umbra The left side just cannot go down

are the pci slots too low ?

#

the little expansion things on the back of the case

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:42 AM

#

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:43 AM

#

doesn’t it slide in..

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:43 AM

#

The 1660s slides in just fine

#

This just won't

potent portal Apr 17, 2022, 4:43 AM

#

It should but it's not for some reason

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:43 AM

#

your card should fit in like a coin in a coin slot

#

That’s really weird

vague oracle Apr 17, 2022, 4:43 AM

#

It’s probably those legs are just bent

#

Where did you buy the GPU from?

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

Amazon

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

can you try inserting it by lining it up with the slots instead of the pcie 16x lane? (then send a pic)

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

is that your old HP motherboard

#

it looks like it

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

No

#

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

earnest olive is that your old HP motherboard

it would be green

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

An msi

vague oracle Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

I’d honestly return the GPU and get a new one

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:44 AM

#

little osprey it would be green

the omen motherboards are not

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:45 AM

Same old as mine 😂

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:45 AM

#

ruby umbra I gotta find a smaller gpu

idk if that’s the problem here

vague oracle Apr 17, 2022, 4:45 AM

#

It has nothing to do with GPU size

The legs on it are bent

I hate this

it'll bend a little before it gets extra wiggly

make sure your pc is off and unplugged from the wall

sure wait a couple minutes to make sure all the power has left the system

#

then pop it back in and put gpu back in and try again

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 3:51 PM

#

you can speed it up by holding the power button

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:51 PM

#

that works

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

holding the power button while the psu is turned off or unplugged drains the residual power on the board faster

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

just dont be eager to get your ram to a higher speed because idk if it can... lmao

#

was it running at 2666?

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

i absolutely never use the battery method so idk how long you need to wait if holding the power button

#

it booted at 2133 and failed boot at 2666

#

so i assume the 2666 xmp is somehow unstable

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 3:52 PM

i just do like 3 minutes wait

sometimes i forget and it ends up being like 15 tho

I never heard the pavilion fans tbh

#

fossil cedar Are they as tasty as mx4?

lil more

#

better texture

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

I slowed them down with msi afterburner

#

Noise is still there but if I just play audio its fine

#

Are there PSU adapters for the GPU cable?

#

The cable is a bit too large and makes closing the side panel difficult

#

And sometimes just won't let it close

#

ruby umbra I never heard the pavilion fans tbh

because there was one and it was 80mm

little osprey Apr 17, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

ruby umbra Are there PSU adapters for the GPU cable?

like 90° things?

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

Yeah

#

I guess

#

The cable doesn't bend enough so it doesn't hit the side panel

#

If that makes sense

#

Now gta defaults everything to extra high

#

Bruhb

#

Like

#

It runs the same as high on the pavilion with the same card

#

In the 90s

#

You guys said get better ram, right?

#

How big of a performance jump be with better ram?

#

Just watched a video on it Jesus

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

20% or more depending on what ram

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

3200 ram?

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

maybe 15%

#

3200c16 sucks

#

go for 3600c16 it's not expensive

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

Something like this?

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:52 PM

god no don't buy corsair

#

Is corsair just garbage or something

#

Never used a corsair ram or device

#

Amazon has overnight shipping on these i think

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

yes

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

I gotta return the AMD gpu first tho

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

100% sure you can just bend it back

#

i put it against the edge of a table to bend it back

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

I tried but maybe I just didn't get a good angle

#

I'll return the card and save for something better

#

The 650 watt psu should let me get something much better

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

don't overestimate the 650 BQ

#

you can go for like a 3060ti or something

#

don't put a 3080 on it

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Ik

#

I can't afford a 3080 lol

#

Is anything from the 2000 series worth looking into?

viral ore Apr 17, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

depends entirely on price

#

most of it is still probably overpriced

#

best bet is something new

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

seen some 2080 supers for below 500 that tie a 3060ti in performance

#

but i've also seen some 3060tis below 500

#

2080 super and 2080ti can be worth considering for the right price

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

I see

viral ore Apr 17, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

because theyre also still used

#

which isnt that big of a deal, but a new card would be better at the same price

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

More efficient

#

And that

viral ore Apr 17, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

poke around fb market

#

sort by local only

earnest olive Apr 17, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

used isn't a big deal for the right price

#

graphics cards don't really sustain much wear from use

#

at least in the timeframe of 30 series cards existing

ruby umbra Apr 17, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

Id say best buy but their selection isn't

#

Too good
