How do I check that? Is that something hwinfo64 tells me?

There are a lot of disk information softwares that can read S.M.A.R.T. data. 

Google a few, test them with the disks you already have and see what you like best.

Can OBS be configured so I can get the input a full screen mode? I wouldn't like to play with the control panel open on my screen.

Yes. Do a deep dive on OBS before you commit to hardware purchases 

Why not install something like VNC on the server and view it on another computer?

A server is meant to be racked and stacked, not watched locally.

What error code does the blue screen give?

Sorry I forgot add what I’m benchmarking. I’m  trying to stress test my water cooling loop.

What does this even mean? Are you looking to find your max temps? Are you looking to build pressure to look for leaks? 

You'll need something like a capture card to ingest video into your PC. Like an el gato capture card. They make a PCI-e expansion card that can do that. 

Go USB C. A isn't going out of style anytime soon, but C allows you to plug it into smaller and smaller form factor devices like phones, or thin books with only a USB C port.

Plus, you can always get an A-C adapter if you can live with some speed loss.

no, this wouldn't cause any issues.

77c is completely fine.  Bit high for a desktop perhaps but for a Laptops I would call that acceptable.   No need to undervolt as its not being thermal limited so far.

I agree, as long as you're not burning yourself, then anything that isn't thermal throttle is good. 

if you have WiFi6 or 802.11AX then you probably won't notice the difference in internet speed, because your ISP will be the bottleneck. 

find out what your wired speed is, then test the WiFi speed. figure out how much you really need it. unless you're playing multiplayer games that require low latency, you're probably better off with wifi. 


I should mention i have an 802.11ax router and PC and i get local transfer speeds of 700-900 Mbps, and my ISP only delivers 600Mbps on a good day, which is rare. so in this case, WiFi is not a bottleneck for me.

I got an ssd mostly just for my windows to boot faster, so i think i only want to move the windows folder with my boot in it. How do I do this? My SSD is smaller than my Hard drive so I cant copy it like everything it telling me to do.

you can't just drag and drop the "windows" folder to the new drive. the best way to do what your asking is to clone the boot drive to the new drive, but you can't because your new drive is smaller. 

you'll have to do a fresh install of windows, sorry. 

those remotes are universal between higher end models. you should be able to replace it easily. 
I assume you already changed the batteries?

Double checked everything already multiple times. Trying to start it by shorting the pins also doesnt work. I want to believe the motherboard is working since it let us flash but at this point i might as well give up. Though it could also still be the CPU ? Then again it would probably start up or at least attempt to even with a broken cpu no? 

check the debug LEDs

If you're going Build-Your-Own, I suggest TrueNAS. It has ZFS RAIDs, and supports PLEX as a plugin/jail. 

Synology is an out-of-the-box solution, but it's PLEX video encode/decode performance is pretty bad 

so the Mobo isn't powering up when you jump the PWR +/- pins? sounds like the pins are broke, or the trace is cut. 

I would try to RMA the motherboard if you're sure you're jumping the right pins. 
when you say the motherboard doesn't start you mean no debug lights or fans start? 
I know you were able to do a BIOS Flash, but i would also douible check that you have all power cables in, the CPU and the Mobo powers may not be fully seated. 

also, doublecheck you're jumping the right pins on the Mobo

You think it give me good upgrade ?

yes. 

your BIOS should have XMP or DOCP options for the memory on board. if it doesn't or your sticks aren't all clocked at the same speed you will not get the advertised speed. 
otherwise it will run at a "safe" speed for your motherboard, based on what the motherboard supports.

Evening all,

 

I have a dell 3090 and in device manager i am getting code 43. I have done everything, reseat, clear cmos, clear bios, new windows install, better power supply. But i cannot get the GPU to recognize properly in windows. Any ideas how to fix this

 

If you believe I need a new card, who do I go to, my system builder says "call dell", dell says "call Nvidia" Nvidia says "call system builder" so on and so fourth. (i should of just built myself.........)

 

If you have any suggestions or need additional information please don't hesitate to ask

 

TIA

do you have a picture of the said card/computer in question. and of the error?

4 year old card....got no warranty on it anymore.

 

By the way can i stack the pads to get the right height or shouldnt i do that

NO, don't stack them. Doing so introduces air pockets that trap heat. 
You can buy pads of different heights. do that instead.

dude can you not see that me the user is only using 4gigs meanwhile it says 9.7 gigs are being used somewhere else???? please someone else help me

the Users tab shows usage based on the account that launched the process. 
the System background launches lots of tasks that do not appear in that tab. 
The user tab is best for diagnosing public computers that may have multiple users signed in. It's basically useless for a single owner PC.

there is absolutely no way that windows is using over 6 gigs for doing nothing im asking for help to determine where the virus can be not whether or not i can diagnose

dude, all of those little processes that use RAM add up. I don't think you have a virus. 
This looks like normal usage to me.

Here you go. also it looks like my PCIE is alredy set to 3.0 so im not sure what needs to be done paste that? 

oh, also get your new GOU working with the old CPU before putting the new CPU in.

old CPU, new GPU - test and verify, update BIOS, retest same combo. 

New CPU, old GPU, test and verify. 

New CPU, New GPU, test and verify.

Thank you! I will try both of these things!

 

I made a thread here before I bought them as I didn't know how bets to check compatibility. kinda figured someone would say something but I guess not... thank you!

sometimes the folks on the forums get exhausted by requests they feel are too basic. They just don't reply. 
I know most folks just don't know what they don't know though.

thats the problem is there isnt any its just my game and whatever is actually using the rest of my ram is completely hidden from anywhere i can find

it sounds like you're not considering Cache. Windows also makes a Cache on the disk that it can use as RAM. 

You may be being a hypochondriac about it.

i already wiped windows fresh myself doing this method and it still persists

in task manager> click processes, then click the memory column and sort by usage. see what's eating memory, then google the process. 
that isn't too much RAM usage. you probably don't have a virus.
