[fading wraith]

Had 64gb flash drive. After installing windows , it’s 31 gb. So it just destroy the space completely along with files already there?

[wraith timber]

?

[dense mirage]

Did you put windows on the flash drive?

[fading wraith]

Yes, flash drive or usb drive.

[livid bluff]

They are basically the same thing. But USB Drive is whats typically used anyway for Flash Drives inless its a Micro SD card

[last gorge]

well if that is the drive you used to install windows that is normal. creating a usb install disk erases everything on the drive no matter how big it is

[livid bluff]

Right

I was clarifying in case he had used a Micro SD card but as long as the BIOS can boot from it it shouldnt be a issue

I built a new system should I update the bios and drivers or not

[lavish beacon]

update the drivers @wraith lynx not too sure about the bios

[wraith lynx]

My motherboard disc bios update thing says it has Linux drivers but I’m using windows . Is it still okay to install?

[peak notch]

dont use the disc that came with the motherboard

go to da manufacturers website and get drivers

[last gorge]

the disc that comes with mobo is likely to be outdated

[dense mirage]

^

Yee

Seriously though, where did you get a motherbaord that has Linux drivers?

[wraith lynx]

It’s a b450f gaming 3rd gen Ryzen mobo

Turns out the Linux drivers were just in case you installed Linux and not windows lol

[wary cedar]

How do I stop Asus GPU tweak from opening on startup bc it's not in the task manager startup tab or shell:startup

[cobalt plank]

which company has the most intuitive biOS

[azure sandal]

wdym by intuitive?

[cobalt plank]

like, easiest to navigate, not rlly intuitive but more like easiest to use

[rocky cedar]

all personal preference

all I know is the one nzxt board they made had bad bios

[azure sandal]

I really like ASRock’s BIOS... but I am a huge ASRock fanboy so...

[rocky cedar]

asrock has a bad reputation for bios

[cobalt plank]

how's asus?

[rocky cedar]

asus seems confusing

by people needing help

like come on why not just use xmp why call it docp

All BIOS got their own share of inconveniences

Personal preference in the end

[cobalt plank]

building a PC with my little sister who wants to oc and do it by herself but she's like 10, so which would be the simplist to figure out?

[rocky cedar]

all I know is asrock gets bad reviews for bios being bad, asus bios is confusing :P

MSI should be alright, but I'm a MSI fanboy

[cobalt plank]

@azure sandal is ASRock ez to use?

[rocky cedar]

what other companies are there

[cobalt plank]

lmao bruh

[rocky cedar]

gigabyte

[azure sandal]

I think so... but Mr1 apparently doesn’t

[rocky cedar]

they're good I think

[cobalt plank]

msi, gigabyte, asrock, asus

[rocky cedar]

whats that one board

[last gorge]

nah asus bios is fantastic

[azure sandal]

And I think Gigabyte is bad but Mr1 doesn’t so...

[rocky cedar]

asrock pro4

[azure sandal]

Yeah pro4. Best board

[rocky cedar]

it gets bad reviews for bios iirc

otherwise good board

[cobalt plank]

what do u guys think of asus prime z490-a?

[rocky cedar]

oof intel?

[cobalt plank]

ofc

[rocky cedar]

...

[cobalt plank]

want 10th gen

[last gorge]

yeah im not a fan of asrock

[cobalt plank]

also want to get her oc insurance just in case she messes it up, so I want intel

[azure sandal]

We we’re talking about AMD this whole time lmao

[rocky cedar]

oc insurance?

[cobalt plank]

yea

[azure sandal]

Poor ASRock... everybody hates them

[rocky cedar]

I'm pretty sure intel is the people that say using xmp profile is ocing lol

[cobalt plank]

well intel also has better performance unless ur willing to cough up 4 grand for a threadripper

[rocky cedar]

...

3950x

but basically we can't help you with intel bios

[last gorge]

since when is there oc insurance

[rocky cedar]

we all got amd boards

idek what oc insurance is

neither amd or intel insure your boards for ocing lol

[azure sandal]

It sounds like a warranty for people who overclock

[rocky cedar]

intel doesn't just let you run 1.5v through the chip and let you rma it

[last gorge]

well usually frying your cpu isn't covered in any warranty unless it was a faulty mobo

[rocky cedar]

mhm

and mobo warranty has nothing to do with amd or intel

[azure sandal]

Idk what it is either that’s just what it sounds like

[last gorge]

yeah idk ive never heard of a warranty of sorts for overclocking, overclocking has always been at your own risk

[rocky cedar]

huh

interesting

trying to figure out if this is real or not
https://tuningplan.intel.com/

huh okay I guess they're willing to give you a new chip for 40$

cool

[last gorge]

probably should read the fine print on that tho

[rocky cedar]

tryna find the fine print lol

[cobalt plank]

@last gorge https://tuningplan.intel.com/

[rocky cedar]

its hard to find

like

[cobalt plank]

I just linked it

[rocky cedar]

a bit late there

[cobalt plank]

lmao sry laptop my mac died

forgot to charge it last night

[rocky cedar]

good for intel if they decide they'll replace your chip for 40$

[cobalt plank]

ikr

[last gorge]

https://tuningplan.intel.com/terms-and-conditions

[cobalt plank]

yeah so>

[rocky cedar]

I guess it covers everything

including ln2

and helium

[cobalt plank]

The Performance Tuning Protection Plan applies to issues directly related to performance tuning and provides a one-time replacement of an eligible processor that fails due to overclocking the eligible processor outside of Intel’s published specifications.

[rocky cedar]

seems neat

[cobalt plank]

i mean

[rocky cedar]

there is no fine print so good

you can sue them

[cobalt plank]

im def not gonna try oc to 8 ghz, so I think its pretty good

[rocky cedar]

if they pull smth

[cobalt plank]

its intel

[rocky cedar]

also, it might only cover using the "performance maximiser" thing intel has

but well it's not in the fine print

[last gorge]

it is covered if it is "used within Intel's published specification"

[rocky cedar]

so use it as you like

[cobalt plank]

they would be killed by the ppl who are just barely hanging on to "performance or price" if they pulled a fast one

[rocky cedar]

abuse it while you can

[cobalt plank]

its spec is pretty reasonable

[last gorge]

they also note that the plan may be discontinued

[rocky cedar]

yea

at any time

but

[cobalt plank]

and why would they do that anytime soon>

[rocky cedar]

seems abusable

ppl just tryna get records

spend 40$

put 1.5v in the chip

[last gorge]

looks like it's one time replacement tho

[rocky cedar]

get it while you can basically

ye one time chip

for seems like no strings attached

"the terms and conditions of the Plan changed by Intel, at any time"

but

"all Plans purchased prior to the date of discontinuation or the date of such change(s) will remain in effect and be honored according to the terms and conditions accompanying the Plan at the time of such purchase."

so get it quickly while you still can

[cobalt plank]

intel isn't gonna try and pull a fast one

and why would u need a replacement more than once>

[rocky cedar]

they might discontinue it once people start abusing it

just saying

[cobalt plank]

well what abuse is there, there is absolutely nothing to gain other than 20/30$ to troll intel

and I find it hard to believe that oc'ing a cpu over 5.3/5.6 is gonna hurt the cpu if there's liquid cooling

[rocky cedar]

OCing records

if I was ocing with intel chips

I would do it

just run 1.5v and highest freq

oops chip died

rma

[cobalt plank]

tru

[rocky cedar]

and if it doesn't die for like 10min

get easy benchmark scores

flex

thats what intel is all about anyways

flexing the 5% gain

so why not flex a 5% gain on a 5% gain

Just saying, its a good thing, but a bit too good with no strings attached

[tacit wren]

can someone help me

im doing what google said

[vast summit]

Whats the question?

[potent siren]

I don't OC stuff, but I'm trying to learn how to update my bios without bricking it

Based on the name I assume this is the right channel?

[dense mirage]

@potent siren You might not need to update the bios. What are you trying to accomplish?

Found this:

[cobalt plank]

LMAO yes

I mean

get a mac with an eGPU and upgrade its RAM, dual boot windows onto it, and you've got a pretty beastly machine

[last gorge]

now which of the bottom right 3 should i choose

[cobalt plank]

🤔

[tepid silo]

arch btw

[split quartz]

Hello! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this but on my PC, when I try to copy files from one drive to another, I get speeds of just a couple of MB/s even though both drives are NVMe drives with speeds of around 3.5GB/s

[azure sandal]

Try monitoring the temperatures on your SSDs. If they're getting hot they could be thermal throttling

[tepid silo]

Run a userbenchmark and posts the resutls

[dire onyx]

Do I need 16GB or 32GB of Ram for Windows 10?

[wheat quest]

you only actually need like 4GB for windows itself, anything beyond that depends on what you want to do with the system

actually i think 32-bit win10 only requires 1GB, 64-bit requires 2GB

[potent siren]

Just haven't updated it since I had built it

@dense mirage

[fading crest]

i would say 16GB is a nice spot for most of us @dire onyx

[dense mirage]

@potent siren if the system works well, i wouldn't bother with the bios. It's always kinda a risky operation

[potent siren]

Only problem I have with my pc is major frame drops sometimes

Help

[reef horizon]

Anyone have problem for AMD Radeon Software not opening in games when using the shortcut?

[livid bluff]

I havent had that issue ever. Sometimes it takes time to open but it eventually does

[reef horizon]

it doesnt open for me

[livid bluff]

Did You change the default Shortcut command?

[reef horizon]

I press alt + z then i cant move my mouse or what ever.

nope

never opens in anygames

[livid bluff]

I believe the Default is Alt+R

Alt+Z is the Sidebar

[reef horizon]

thats the full screen and it also doesnt open if i click that

[livid bluff]

Alt+R is full screen. thats odd then cause I havent experienced that Issue. What version of the Drivers are you running?

[reef horizon]

at the first week that i got it, it works fine and after that it doesnt.

20.5.1

[livid bluff]

Thats the Beta version thats out. Then there is a Bug in it that needs to be reported. Stable is 20.4.2

[reef horizon]

i have a

R7 3700X
TUF X570 WIFI
RX 5700XT
16GB 3600

I updated it to the latest to see if any fixes but nope.

[livid bluff]

Yeah theres a Bug in 20.5.1 then. I run the same driver package since I have a 5500XT

[reef horizon]

i usually see a pop up of the full screen but now i dont.

[livid bluff]

Give me a sec

[reef horizon]

even before the latest update. Been like this after 2 weeks of use.

[livid bluff]

Thats My Screen Right Now.

There is no 20.5.1 update as a recommended update

You have your software set to look for recommended and optional. Optional is a Beta Driver

[reef horizon]

Yep its switch to that.

[livid bluff]

I would recommend downlaoding the 20.4.2 driver package and see if everything works with that driver package

[reef horizon]

I tried a clean install for my drivers to see any fix but nope.

[livid bluff]

Yeah If you did a clean install of 20.5.1 it will still have that bug issue

[reef horizon]

no no

i cleaned install before updating it to 20.5.1

I had a different version before 20.5.1

[livid bluff]

Ok so Before Updating it to 20.5.1 did everything work correctly?

[reef horizon]

Sorry if im making in complicated/

Nope

[livid bluff]

Hmm What brand GPU do you have?

[reef horizon]

Gigabyte

[livid bluff]

Ok Same Brand I have then

Thats weird then since its the same Manufacturer I have and Im not having any issues with my 5500XT

You may have to DDU the GPU drivers from Windows In Safe Mode and Download the stable 20.4.2

[reef horizon]

hmm i see

another clean install then :/

[livid bluff]

Essentially but DDU will get rid of all traces of the Drivers for the GPU and basically give you like a Day One Install of the GPU in the system

I had a RX-470 and then swapped in my 5500XT but I had to DDU the driver package for the RX-470 cause there were features missung from the Radeon Software that are available with the 5500XT

Both Cards Ran the Same software so I thought it was going to be a Simple Plug and PLay and no tinkering with Driver software

I was wrong

[thorny holly]

Do I need a flash drive to install Windows on a new PC, or would an external HDD work?

[near furnace]

which antivirus/antimalware solutions/combos do you think is best and why ? 🤔

[dense mirage]

For windows I assume?

My advice would to be just use windows defender and d.d.d.s.

d.d.d.s. is one of the best antivirus and antimalware solutions out there, is 100% free and takes basically 0% system resources

[rocky cedar]

ddds?

(link please)

[dense mirage]

__D__on't __D__o __D__umb S***

[rocky cedar]

oh

common sense lol

[dense mirage]

yup

[rocky cedar]

common sense is best antivirus

but

yaknow

[dense mirage]

yup

WinDef will fill in most of the gaps

[rocky cedar]

some stuff might not seem dumb to some,

but

yea

I still like malwarebytes

[dense mirage]

They're decent

Obviously still not perfect, but ya know

[smoky pagoda]

not everyone is perfect.

so I suggest MalwareBytes

[vast summit]

Same

[junior cliff]

I have a tournament tomorrow and I cant find help anywhere, i need someone to Vc with me so I can share my screen.

[mint wigeon]

Well whats going on?

[junior cliff]

Its hard to explain, im better at explaing over voice and showing

I had many problems in my past and I just now reinstalled windows to fix it so (I could restart.

I just turned on XMP because my memory is meant to be dual channel but Is quad, and running at 2133 when it should be 3200.

But basically~

[tidal lintel]

Rayans#2479 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tepid silo]

Run a userbenchmark to show us your system specs
Post the result

[junior cliff]

Oops.

I have a i7-9700k with 2080Ti with 11Gb Of Vram. My Cpu is clocked at 3.6Ghz but the ring frequency is clocked at 4.6 and it sets my clock to 4.6Ghz. I have a 1Tb HDD and a 500Gb SSD and 32Gb Of GSkill TridentZ Ram (8x4 3200mHz)

Even still I dont hit 240 Stable Frames

So I resort to optimization which helps

Until something screwwws up and makes my Pc really slow

Like 50 Frames Slow.

[mint wigeon]

Something take up a lot of resources? Do you have an antivirus?

[junior cliff]

No it couldnt be any of those

I had factory Rest my Pc

Nothing was on it

but Basic stuff

GeForce, Steam, Epic, Discord, drivers and what noit

I think its the way I optimize

[mint wigeon]

Are your graphics drivers installed properly and up to date?

[junior cliff]

Yes

[mint wigeon]

What is your monitors refresh rate?

[white moat]

ya i'd run a userbenchmark to see if a part is throttled or something isnt right

[junior cliff]

240Hz

It isnt throttled I checked

[rocky cedar]

check

dew it

[junior cliff]

Well its 0.43% bottlenecked is what I mean

I basically its running fine right now

As I have barley anything installed'

[rocky cedar]

bottlenecking calculators are horrible

[junior cliff]

and done no optimizing

[rocky cedar]

just dont

[junior cliff]

Oof

[rocky cedar]

run ub

[junior cliff]

?

[tepid silo]

[white moat]

this is like the only userbenchmark is useful kekw

[junior cliff]

whats it called:?

[rocky cedar]

lol

[white moat]

😳 @rocky cedar imagine still having rookie

[rocky cedar]

lol look at yourself

[junior cliff]

Could I vc with anyone and walk them through the way I optimize, to see what Im doing wrong??

[rocky cedar]

imagine not having Legend

Just run userbenchmark so you know what is wrong

[white moat]

imagine not being yellow

[rocky cedar]

before other stuff :P

[junior cliff]

I will

[rocky cedar]

PURPLE IS GLORIOUS

[junior cliff]

[summer bough]

your gpu is off the charts

😐

[dense mirage]

Yup. Means nothing

Which, funny story.

[white moat]

did u see the ssd percents intender :v

[tepid silo]

The percentile charts are pretty meaningful imo - the GPU bench is unrealistically easy though

It's not rigorous enough so i can run 2370mhz core clock - that's extremely unrealistic for a gaming load lol

Best I could do in time spy was 2175

[white moat]

the ram is kinda wack like im just running my in xmp and am the 98th percentile

[summer bough]

Suppose you do two blender renders, one on 3950x and one on 1660s, guess which is faster?

[junior cliff]

I did it

Doesn’t look like there is an issue

[white moat]

probably the 3950x bc of the sheer power

[dense mirage]

Yup

The 3950x renders faster than a bloody GPU

[tepid silo]

Depends how parallelizable the workload is

[tepid silo]

And what instruction sets are available

[dense mirage]

It's a blender render

It doesnt look like anything is wrong

so it must be my optimizaitons

[dense mirage]

Wow

[white moat]

dunno that gpu is 20th percentile

[summer bough]

my gpu

[mint wigeon]

Rayans do you have any OC on that GPU

[white moat]

[rocky cedar]

gpu bench looks a bit low

[tepid silo]

GPU could be clocked a bit higher - but it's 100% not the cause of any of your problems

In fact, I don't see any problems there

That said, it's still the easiest way to show us your full specs, bios date, driver versions etc

[junior cliff]

Exactly

[dense mirage]

Memory latency is a bit high, no?

[junior cliff]

I have no OC

I dont know what right setttings I should do

[white moat]

60ns isnt that bad is it?

[rocky cedar]

nah memory latency is just fine

it's normal

[junior cliff]

Thats the issue

[white moat]

mines like 10ns lower feelsbadman

[dense mirage]

For intel on 3200 though?

[rocky cedar]

3200cl16

[junior cliff]

Im using XMP on 3200Mhz

[rocky cedar]

not cl14

[junior cliff]

Its originally 2133

[rocky cedar]

so I don't feel theres an issue

[junior cliff]

Thats the point

[white moat]

i mean i'd imagine it would impact a little, but not super bad

[tepid silo]

Lol @summer bough look how off the chart this memory is https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/19912245

[dense mirage]

Okay

[junior cliff]

Its my optimizxation

[rocky cedar]

lol

[junior cliff]

But I need help doing it then

[white moat]

forks stop breaking everything

[junior cliff]

seeing as I screww it up everytime

[dense mirage]

How in the world do you have a 100% percentile CPU?

And GPU

[white moat]

3/4 of his parts are

just oc it

[dense mirage]

And Ram

[rocky cedar]

It's OCed

[summer bough]

wow 35ns

[white moat]

a lot of people probably keep them stock

[tepid silo]

I'll explain how to flex later lol, after we help this guy

[dense mirage]

Su here's what I'ma gonna do

[mint wigeon]

Clear CMOS?

[junior cliff]

I really just need to vc with someone, Im also like bad at understanding stuff lmao

[dense mirage]

I'ma gonna go into regit and tell windows I'm running a pentium III with a gtx 550

Then I'll have the most powerful parts of my line ub has ever seen

[summer bough]

dont make fun of the p3

[dense mirage]

I have a pentium III system

12 actually

I've looked at making a cluster, but my 2700x would have better performance

[summer bough]

im joking. I made fun of them even when they were good.

I have one sitting on my desk right now though

haven't had time to dig out my motherboard to play with it

[junior cliff]

im confused.

[dense mirage]

The main issue wasn't actually the p3. It was the fact that the motherboard only has 10mbps ethernet

[mint wigeon]

You said something about ram channels earlier @junior cliff, what did you mean by that

[junior cliff]

well

i have 4x8

but my pc is meant to have 16x2

its dual channel

Not meant for quad channel

but eitherway my pc specs are fine i guess

[summer bough]

its still only dual channel

just 4 sticks

[tepid silo]

4 sticks in that mobo is still dual channel

[junior cliff]

Oh

[tepid silo]

Just 2 ranks of memory per channel

[junior cliff]

well I guess then nothing is wrong with my hardware

but in the process I do to Optimize my game so I can hit 240 frames stable, when im only hitting about 200.

[mint wigeon]

What game is it?

[junior cliff]

I need that 240, that extra 40 changes a lot for me personally and I just need help setting up my settings and Nvidia And etc

Fortnite sadly.

Ik everyone hates me for it~

but i do wagers all day and its made me good money, so i intend to continue.

[mint wigeon]

Ultra settings?

[junior cliff]

Nope

All low

VSync Off

Multithreaded rendering on

1920x1080

Resoloution 100%

[mint wigeon]

hmmm

[junior cliff]

I use timer resolution as well which helps a bit]

I just

Im doing something wrong

[mint wigeon]

timer resolution?

[junior cliff]

its just for like~

bcdedit /set useplatformclock

whatever that is

[tepid silo]

HPET? Or like, dynamic tick?

[junior cliff]

Yes

It gives me better input

[tepid silo]

HPET should already be on

[junior cliff]

or feels as such

I turned it on myself

But eitherway

[tepid silo]

It was already on

[junior cliff]

oh well

i mustve done it tiwce ig

But still something I do is wrong

Idk what it is

Id have to show my full process of optimization.

i havent done much yet, im kinda waiting to see if I can call someone and screenshare.

[tepid silo]

You don't need to optimize nearly as much as you think yo udo

[junior cliff]

you are right but then idk what to optimize

and how to do it the way I should

[last gorge]

optimize your settings for your needs

in game settings

[junior cliff]

most of it needs to be FPS

[tepid silo]

https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script

[junior cliff]

but also Nvidia settings, there secret settings, windows settings

should I run that rn?

[tepid silo]

Do you have a benq xb272?

[last gorge]

put as low as you can while still being able to see something

[junior cliff]

No I dont

[white moat]

lol

[junior cliff]

I have an Acer predator 240hz

[tepid silo]

https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/

So the acer predator xb272?

I mistyped

[junior cliff]

Yes

i launched the cmd

it showed nothing then closed

and idk what to do with the ps1 file

[tepid silo]

Follow the directions

[junior cliff]

i cant find them

the read me shows a bunch of stuff

i barley understand

[mint wigeon]

download everything, unzip it, and then double click the cmd file.

[junior cliff]

there it goes

[mint wigeon]

👍

[junior cliff]

so what else should I do?

I still need my drivers and Nvidia Settings

[tepid silo]

Follow that blurbusters guide

[junior cliff]

huh

[tepid silo]

After reading through it

[junior cliff]

Where>

[tepid silo]

So you understand how g-sync, and other competitive fps stuff works

(If you actually want to optimize)

[junior cliff]

G-Sync by itself is best correct?

[tepid silo]

Read

lol

[junior cliff]

I did I’m confusing myself lmao

[last gorge]

you can find out here https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/

😉

there are nvidia settings in this guide you can use

[junior cliff]

it looks like GSync has less tearing but if it goes above it starts to tear

but i wont go above 240 Frames

but the thing is I dont even get 240 Frames, I get 200

and im trying to get to 240, which will pair perfectly with GSync as my highest refresh rate availible is 240

[rocky cedar]

what game to 240

[junior cliff]

Fortnite

[rocky cedar]

lol

[junior cliff]

yeah ik

[rocky cedar]

it might be badly optimized :p

[junior cliff]

im trying to optimize it properly

but i guess im doing something wrong

that slows my Pc and makes it go at 50 Fps lmao

[rocky cedar]

..?

the game itself might not be optimized

anyways

[junior cliff]

Wdym?

[peak moss]

did anyone ever figure out what he means by optimizing?

[rocky cedar]

undo whatever you were doing :P

prob just OC

[junior cliff]

Okay what I mean is

I go into Nvidia Settings, then the secret settings, I use Timer Resoloution, disable a bunch of stuff in registry editor and add some values.

Stuff like that

I dont know how to Overclock for frame boost

I was told that Overclocking your Gpu does nothing to framerate

[tepid silo]

Tip #1 don't do anything in regedit

[junior cliff]

and that its just your Gpu

[peak moss]

maybe dont do that

[rocky cedar]

lol yea

[junior cliff]

I know I wont anymore but

I need to optimize it now

[rocky cedar]

regedit is just trouble

[junior cliff]

for the best Framerate Possible

and I dont know what to do

[peak moss]

why do you need to optimize

[rocky cedar]

might've screwed smth up in regedit lol

[junior cliff]

Im only getting 170-200

[peak moss]

you're not getting 240 frames right, but what game and at what settings

[junior cliff]

I need 240 FPS

Fortnite at all LOW Settings

So

[peak moss]

why do you need 240

[junior cliff]

Because I preform much better at i, I mean I just do

Ive tested it out, a day on 240FPS and a day without it.

What I mean by that is

'Creative' has nearly no load on your GPu as it renders nothing

[peak moss]

is this a 1080p monitor, 1440p or 4k?

[junior cliff]

So I get 240 and I preform amazingly there, however the way I play is no difference, Just not as fast, and more input delay on 200 FPS

1080p

I play at 1920x1080

\Actuaklly

[peak moss]

and how many monitors are connected

[junior cliff]

Now I play at 1790x1080

Stretched Res but

I have 2

One is 240 my main

Other one is 144Hz

Both are 1920x1080

[peak moss]

ok

[rocky cedar]

might be an issue running 2 monitors :P

[junior cliff]

Wait what???

I dont get how I mean~

[peak moss]

it could be. running multiple monitors puts more strain

[junior cliff]

Hm..

So what can I do about that?

do I just use one monitor instead

Also I have a laptop with a capture card next to me~ any idea what I can do with that...?

[peak moss]

you can try unplugging a monitor and seeing if your frames go up but theoretically all the strain should be on the one monitor

[junior cliff]

To maybe reduce strain or something

i can reduce the resoloution of my right one

nvm i was gonnasay smth dumb

Plugging my 2nd monuitor into my motherboard

[peak moss]

i would just unplug one and see if the frames go up

yeah that wont work lol

[junior cliff]

Lmao

I will try

But anything else that really boosts FPS

I mean certain Nvidia Settings

[peak moss]

not a permanent solution, just to see if it does anything

[junior cliff]

Or anything else?

id prefer to try the monitor thing last

as I need to do my settings and drivers first

before I even launch the game

[peak moss]

i mean the monitor thing would be the easiest to try tho

just unplug it

[junior cliff]

What Drivers do you recommend I install? Z390 and RTX2080Ti

Ill try it

[peak moss]

the reccomended latest nvidia drivers

[junior cliff]

No Redistrutables or DirectX or smth?

[last gorge]

you just need the latest nvidia drivers

[tepid silo]

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/

[last gorge]

no other drivers will give you more performance

[peak moss]

i mean i honestly dont usually dive that deep into that kinda stuff so i wouldn't know. but theoretically you just need to get nvidia drivers, maybe experience center and click "optimize games" without messing with any "secret settings" or anything like that

[junior cliff]

Alright well, thank you.

I really appreciate the help

So do you think its possible to hit a good 240FPs?

[tepid silo]

Don't use geforce experience

Use the nvcleaninstall thing I sent

[junior cliff]

Also~ with overclocking, what should I know before doing it? I would use Asus Tweak

[peak moss]

hitting 240 is hard

[tepid silo]

Don't install asus tweak

[junior cliff]

What????

[peak moss]

also if you're going to OC do a good hefty amount of research before you do

[junior cliff]

I tried but I still dont understand the amouns

I mean

[peak moss]

hitting 240 fps constant is not really that easy to do. 170-200 seems about normal imo

[junior cliff]

Damn..

[last gorge]

you can try lowering settings and maybe lowering res to something like 1600x900 if that is in fortnite but otherwise there is no real secret to more performance like that

[junior cliff]

I downloaded NVclean

What about that?

[tepid silo]

Read the descriptions for each

Just check the boxes for what you need

[junior cliff]

I feel like those are good

But those all require GeForce experience

Didn’t you say not to have it?

[tepid silo]

Just check phys-x tbh, that's it

[peak moss]

also keep in mind when you say you play better at 240fps, if you have a 240 hz monitor but arent getting 240 you may be experiencing screen tearing and such that may make it harder to play as well as you are wanting, so keep an eye out for that stuff too

[tepid silo]

That's what g-sync is for

[junior cliff]

So maybe set it to 200Hz???

and Cap it at 200?

[tepid silo]

no

[junior cliff]

Oh

[tepid silo]

Follow the g-sync guide

[junior cliff]

I have GSync on at 240hz

[peak moss]

do what chopsticks says first

[junior cliff]

I know I read it

GSync under the refresh rate eliminates tearing

Vsync helps with over

[last gorge]

if you want consistent leave it on 240 with g sync on and cap maybe near 200

[junior cliff]

Okay

Thank you for all your guys help

I really appreciate it

[dry raft]

vsync does both over and under, not just over. Doing vsync+gsync does nothing better as vsync is just increasing the latency which gsync is suppose to reduce. If you're on Nvidia what you actually want is Fast sync+gsync. As fast sync will allow the GPU to render frames but just not push them to display if it exceeds the monitor refreshrate.

[junior cliff]

Oh damn

Well thank you

So under Vsync

I put FaSt Sync On?

Vertical Sync Is on Fast now

Also im running 1789x1080

Should I cap my refresh at 239, as Ive heard that is better for latency.

[tepid silo]

Read the g-sync guide

[junior cliff]

it doesnt say anything about that

[tepid silo]

https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/15/

[dry raft]

Unless it is the game or server that is messing with something, capping the FPS isnt better for latency

[junior cliff]

Okay thank you

Im sorry im asking a lot

its just important to me, although im actually learning a lot, as I thought Optimization meant everything.

When its only few settings that need optimizatio

Do you guys think that, (this is my last question)

Bcdedit /set useplatformclock yes and /set useplatformtick yes

It does lower latency but, is that good to keep?

[tepid silo]

Test both

test memory latency with this https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64ee

idk if this is where i'd put it, but can somebody help me get my stream settings right? I hav eno idea what they are and kinda wanna stream sometimes

d.d.d.s. is one of the best antivirus and antimalware solutions out there, is 100% free and takes basically 0% system resources
@dense mirage lolll bu-butttt it's in ma name 👀

[dense mirage]

Does that mean you come with d.d.d.s. pre installed?

That would be cool

[near furnace]

so I suggest MalwareBytes
@smoky pagoda I hear that a lot, wondering why it fares so poorly in some independent labs

Does that mean you come with d.d.d.s. pre installed?
I'm a possibly lost cause 😢
jk aside tho I think what I need the most is decent web protection
since I tend to open hundreds of tabs at a time
and since I'm no antimalware solution I can't heuristically detect bad links before I open them
hence the need for automated software solutions 🙃
(or any other hacks and tweaks I could do, last resort)

That would be cool

[mint wigeon]

anyone else have ridiculous issues with ASUS aura sync? at some points it can take up to 25% of my cpu.

it seems to just randomly get stuck

[white moat]

yeah i hate aura

it didnt work and it took me like 15 minutes to get it work

[cobalt plank]

Icue gang

[last gorge]

Google it, I think there is a previous version that is a bit more stable

[near furnace]

what's your guys' thoughts on Revo Uninstaller ?

[mint wigeon]

WTF

Ughhhhh

[tidal lintel]

RyanO8#7363 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[mint wigeon]

whooops

[wraith timber]

what

[mint wigeon]

Asus's stupid lighting software is taking up 30% cpu

[wraith timber]

oh

lol

[mint wigeon]

so setting it to a different effect seems to have helped

apparently its just the rainbow cycle effect that is a problem

which is odd

because thats probobly the most commonly used one

I wish there was a way to just not use asus's software and have everything sync together with something better designed

[wraith timber]

probably possible

[cinder mauve]

@mint wigeon one thing i found is theres this one developer on github that made a program to sync aura compatible devices with razer synapse

[rocky cedar]

Unify rgb

[mint wigeon]

Hmmm

I’ll look into that

[cobalt plank]

Yeah I saw that @cinder mauve , except it was for previous versions of synapse, now it's patched.

what I was wondering though, can icue controll aura snyc?

bc I need fans for my radiator that's coming in, and I wanted to go rgb but don't have enough room in my budget for icue

[mint wigeon]

Icue can controll aura sync natively without any modifications or anything

[cobalt plank]

k thx

[mint wigeon]

that doesn't really solve my problem though, because that requires BOTH pieces of software to be running, including aura sync which was the problem in the first place.

[cobalt plank]

[mint wigeon]

Its really weird

"lightingservice.exe" still runs while doing that

I was messing around with that

[sand bronze]

I'm noticing my computer is getting slower and slower to boot up... I'm in start up apps and I'm wondering if i need something like the Radeon SEttings app to start up?

how about raptr or realtek audio manager... plays.tv video recorder? why do i have HD Audio background process and HD audio manager lol. groove monitor utility. wtf is that. lol

[mint wigeon]

you really dont need any of that

i literally just turn everything in my startup off

And a lot of that sounds potentially dangerous so i would try using malewear bytes

[near furnace]

could someone please test if this lil batch script works?
Purpose: block all executables inside a path/folder from accessing all incoming/outgoing connections
I tried on my VM nothing shows up in WF.msc, opened/closed WF too, not sure if I'd have to reboot

    do (
        netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked With Batchfile %%G" dir=in action=block program="%%G" enable=yes profile=any
        netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Blocked With Batchfile %%G" dir=out action=block program="%%G" enable=yes profile=any

(after changing the path to match your app ofc, also run as administrator)

About the issue with arura yesterday, if anyone has the same problem. Set the effect to static or color cycle and set shutdown sync to off.

That entirely solved the issue for me

[upbeat sky]

@cobalt plank iCue had no problem controlling the rgb of my Asus Zenith II Extreme Alpha before it bit the dust

When the pc was off it would revert to its own thing but when on iCue would do its thing. When the board died I had no choice but to get a MSI Creator TRX40 and it has a corsair connector built onto the board.... first I had seen that

BUT the last computer I built before my current one was a 2700k so I've been out of the game a while

[rocky cedar]

MSI boards seem to mostly have a Jcorsair connector

I'm not too sure why, maybe a partnership, but it's a thing

[upbeat sky]

I'm not a fan of MSI's mystic light either, used it to setup the rgb of my heatkiller gpu block and haven't launched it since

[rocky cedar]

It's only MSI afaik

Lol I haven't really touched mystic lights but that's because I'm not a rgb person

I use it to turn off rgb :p

[upbeat sky]

I have mine set to red, the wife has the unicorn puke

[rocky cedar]

At least mystic lights can control my gskill ram rgb

And sync whenever I want that

[fading crest]

i have mine set to a dark purple, as i am a Mara Jade (Star Wars) fan and her saber was amethyst, and named my computer after her, cheesy yes i know lol

[rocky cedar]

Eh PC themes are PC themes, they're all good in their own way

[dense mirage]

I'm looking for a good, solid document/PDF editor that will allow fancy formatting... word isn't really enough

[tepid silo]

LaTeX

[dense mirage]

Yeah, I'm about ready to do that. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go there though

[tepid silo]

It's like learning vim - feels like chinese at first, but it grows on you

[dense mirage]

I know it, it would just be a pain to do what I had in mind. I had been hoping for something like html+css, but for a printed page

[upbeat sky]

Open office might have what you want.

I believe it can save to latex and pdf.

[dense mirage]

I'm using libre office right now. It doesn't seem to have hierarchical components though

[last gorge]

yo quick question, does libre office use same file type as word

[tepid silo]

Not by defalt, but you can save files as a word compatible format.

[dense mirage]

It can also read files that word saves

[warm osprey]

so I'm not super happy with this "dark theme"

The program (voidtools Search Everything) lets me change the colors in the list, and I've set the titlebar to black through Windows' accent color setting.

However I'm wondering if there's a way to change the color of the other elements there (scrollbar, table column names, search box, etc) without modifying the program.

I've never done anything related to Windows-specific development, so I'm not really sure how that'd work.

I do notice that a lot of apps seem to use the same UI framework of sorts (Task Manager's elements look virtually identical to those of Everything), so I was thinking maybe whatever library that is provides a way to set this system-wide?

[dusk marsh]

does here anyone know the best Nvidia panel settings for best performance

[vast summit]

Idk if anyone has heard of asus armoury crate before, but it came pre-installed on my new mobo and I think its actually really cool. It has aura sync built into it which runs better than the software by itself imo. It also lets you install all drivers directly from in it.

Don't know why I'm saying this lol, I'm just impressed

[upbeat sky]

Its decent software but its also another resource hog to have running, shut it down in the service manager or set to manual start so it only runs when you want to check for updates

[vast summit]

Oh ya for sure

[edgy bridge]

Do you guys know if I can use HP Pavilion Touchsmart All In One PC as a monitor and get a motherboard build my pc and connect it to it and it being better?

Hey Guys, ive been having a bit of an issue with the lighting control on my Asus Prime B450M-A Mobo, every time i restart my PC or power it up from a shut down and then log into my pc, it shuts off after a few seconds to a min. It's really not that big of a deal but its really annoying because i want my lights to stay on, if anyone has a possible solution or an idea please let me know. Thanks!
P.S. Asus aura sync and all my drivers are up to date, and heres a link to my exact mobo if anyone would need to use it to help, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKV5HWJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just turned my pc on and got the BSOD recovery screen, I went into “debugging mode” and my screen is just black now, it’s still on though. It was error code 0xc0000221. What should I do now?

[dense mirage]

Did you change anything recently?

[topaz lodge]

I was changing ram speeds becuase they were stuck at 2133, but I got them up to 2866, but everything ran smoothly

I also updated my bios, which went well too

I get that I might have to reinstall windows, but how do I safely get out of this black screen?

[dense mirage]

Give it the one finger salute

If it's just solid black, a forced reboot won't harm anything

[near furnace]

I'd hoped you were talking to me when you mentioned "solid black" for a moment hahah

[dense mirage]

Nah, the screen

What happened with your computer?

[topaz lodge]

Ok I’ll give it a shot

I got no clue

I just booted it up and that came up

[dense mirage]

So there's text on the display?

[topaz lodge]

[dense mirage]

Try a cmos reset

But I entered debugging mode cause I thought it might fix itself

I’m bout to power up again after my forced reset

Hope nothing s fried

Why can’t I send pictures on here?

Ok I’m up, and pressed continue to windows 10, msi now says automatic repair

I think it’s auto repairing, correct?

Ah, it now says “automatic repair couldn’t repair your pc”

Ok, I got 4 options, continue to windows 10 (which I just tried), use a usb device, trouble shoot, and turn off

Should I try troubleshoot?

Ok, I have no idea what in the hell just happened, but it fixed itself and I’m back in my pc

[dense mirage]

Windows is like that sometimes

[near furnace]

What happened with your computer?
@dense mirage nothing just that I can't get the shortcut with a transparent icon to be pinned to the Windows taskbar hah
it'd turn black instead

@valid rivet https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

put this on a usb

see if the pc you bought comes with a key

if not contact ibuypower about your issue and see if they can give you a key

[valid rivet]

Ok so like where would I see the key

[last gorge]

if it's prebuilt it is sometimes embeded on mobo and you don't have to worry about it

you can go through setup and if it ask for key you can skip for now

[valid rivet]

I assume the USB should have nothing on it but the windows install

[last gorge]

when the usb install is created, the media creation tool should reformat and erase everything on it

[valid rivet]

Hey if I. Putting an ssd in my new build I should I stall windows fresh but how do I move over other files and apps without corrupting things?

Well what's the best way rather

[peak notch]

ideally, you just want to do a fresh install of windows, if you dont want to hassle with reinstalling all your programs and games, Macrium Reflect can be used to just clone the current os disk to the ssd

what do you suggest @pulsar patrol

[pulsar patrol]

That or https://vip-scdkey.com

[last gorge]

I think someone just used software codes like yesterday

I don’t think retail is worth it

Unless u break ur pc a lot

[cobalt pulsar]

whtas retail ?

It’s where u can reuse the code more than once,but not at the same time

well there is oem and retail, main diff is oem can't move to a new pc

Hey guys just got a new laptop nothing serious just a basic laptop to watch YouTube and stuff but it does have Radeon Vega 3 but when I downloaded the drivers for it it’s not picking up Minecraft. I’ve played a little but it’s not picking up game. Anyone know what’s up ?

[dense mirage]

What do you mean it's not picking it up?

[gritty summit]

@dense mirage when I open up Radeon Software and search for games nothing comes up. I was able to manually add the launcher but that’s about it. On my regular PC with the Nivida driver the actual game get detected not just the launcher

[dense mirage]

Not sure. What do you need it detected in the radeon software for?

[gritty summit]

Not much just for recommended setting. Vega 3 I know it like the bare minimal graphic but I would like to see if it could play at any higher than all low settings without me spending time playing with the settings

[dense mirage]

Ah

C U B E

[dense mirage]

Yes

[vast summit]

Yes

[dense mirage]

What are you doing with the cube?

[vast summit]

Admiring it probably

[wary cedar]

yes

my computer is too weak for the mighty cube

[wary cedar]

does anyone know if theres a fix for this?

ive tried optix and cuda neither works

im just trying to do that bmw render

[near furnace]

guys could you please confirm that these are experts preferred/standard tools for:
monitoring: HWInfo64

**benchmarking: **
CPU: CineBenchR20
GPU: 3DMark (synthetic), LuxMark (Compute)
Storage: CrystalDiskMark

Stress testing:
CPU: Prime95 (small FFT)
GPU: Furmark
RAM: MemTest86

Anything you'd like to change ?

[peak notch]

i guess, slap OCCT on there for CPU/GPU

[tepid silo]

Pretty good ya, furmark is just to max out the gpu heat/power , for thermal testing

For ram testing, memtest HCI is popular, memtest86 is still solid though

Check out https://benchmate.org

[near furnace]

oouu thanks guys for that

[tepid silo]

For overall stability testing for a gaming system, I like running timespy

[near furnace]

oh right I forgot to add, Time Spy and Fire Strike right ?

[tepid silo]

Time spy is dx12 and utilizes AVX2 cpu instructions. It's the most modern test. Firestrike is older.

[near furnace]

ah great okay thanks

[tepid silo]

If you're interested in competitive benchmarking - https://hwbot.org/

[near furnace]

oof the exciting world of benchmarking xD
don't think I'm ready but I'll keep in mind hah

I just needed to make sure the new components are performing as expected

[tepid silo]

TBH, I like userbenchmark for that as a quick, preliminary test

[near furnace]

ooo right, I heard bad things about it but they're still good just to have a rough idea right ?

[tepid silo]

People take the generalized ratings too seriously and ignore the data itself (which is pretty useful imo)

This part is stupid - , I don't pay attention to these ratings

[near furnace]

gotcha hah

[wary furnace]

On startup of the Fortnite, I get the error 30005 (CreateFile failed with 32). I have re-installed the anti-cheat, EasyAnti-cheat and verifying the install did nothing. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

IK this isn't the Fortnite Discord server but everyone there is dead or something

@fallen jewel I'm no expert, but could your SSD not have enough storage or be corrupt?

[fallen jewel]

can u help me with this problem

[dense mirage]

Time to install a OS. Do you have any other computers available?

[junior cliff]

hey! can I get some help on some overclocking settings. If someone can call while I screenshare or give me some advice, I have an RTX 2080Ti with 11Gb Vram and an i7-9700k. I want to Overclock my GPU so I get better framerate, and know what I cacn keep my CPU at so it doesnt break my PC. I have an NZXT Liquid Cooler on my CPU at 75% (Pump) and my GPU Fans are at 40% speed.

[wary cedar]

All gpus and CPUs are different your just gonna have to mess around

[rocky cedar]

@junior cliff #overclocking

[wary cedar]

Pins?

What ones

[wary cedar]

Lol yeah ik

But I don't see anything about that

[last gorge]

in the overclocking channel

some guides with general info

[wary cedar]

Oh I thought he was talking about the pins in this channel

[wary furnace]

Does anyone know why my head sets mic doesn't work?
