The ram I have is from Pinnacle and they worked pretty well but every time I add something to the computer I have this issue, I added a 2tb m.2 and some of my sata drives weren’t detected that were detected before.

pinnacle? you got some off-brand stuff to save some bucks? 

your motherboard my not allow both PCI-e and SATA because your m.2 may use your SATA rails, not PCI-e like you believe. it depends on your motherboard model.

ahh, got it

dust out your rig. 

if your CPU isn't enough then it isn't enough. 
only you can decide if you need more CPU bang. 
(it's when you see 100% usage all the time)

You can plug it into the x16 slot, it should work just fine

it is a full size slot, but probably with only x8 pins. 

what are you talking about? plug that bad boy in where you'd plug the 2nd GPU. 

Also dust that PSU basement off.

I have a ASUS TUF GAMING z599-plus, I am stuck at a DRAM light I’ve tried the DIMM slots furthest away from the cpu and it works but when I use the 2 closest it just dies again. So I though I’m fine with just 16gb ram so I shut it off and placed them the 2 slots furthest away and put the computer back together and now it’s at the DRAM LED again someone please help.

it sounds like you either have bad RAM, bad CPU pin contact, or broken MoBo traces. 

what kind of RAM did you buy? are your RAM specs in line with what your Motherboard and CPU will accept?

I can plug it in anywhere in my house or does it have to be the same breaker or something 

anywhere works, but same circuit is preferred. obviously most of the time the same circuit is impossible, otherwise you'd just run a longer ethernet cable. 

sounds like a driver issue. boot in safe mode install your GPU/chipset drivers. 
Call NZXT and complain that they sent your an inoperable PC. 

Are you saying you only have two PCI-e slots and they're already full? otherwise just show your SSD into the lower x8 slot and it will work fine. 

I'd test the GPU on another computer, or test a different GPU in the same computer. 
You may also want to try to swap out the PSU in case it's the culprit. (I would suspect this if you can't get ANY lights on the MoBo)
Corsair did publish a recall on the SF series and you should check to see if your serial number is covered. 

https://www.pcgamer.com/corsair-recalls-compact-sf-power-supplies-following-a-rash-of-failures/#:~:text=Corsair has issued a recall,cause the PSU to fail."

check your MoBo diagnostic lights and reference your motherboard manual to see what's keeping the Motherboard from booting if you can get any lights. 

you wrote a lot to say very little. 

If you have two factor authentication on, just sign out of everything. Then you will know any sign in is legitimate.  
In most cases if the IP and location are the same it's not malicious, google just has an issue classifying the session type. 

Powerline Network adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Computer-Network-Adapters/b?ie=UTF8&node=1194444

you hook one side into your router, plug it into the wall. 

on the other side you plug it into the wall and run it into your PC.

So i have done everything i found on the internet so far and iam still getting low fps in games compared to other peoples benchmarks. Here iam anyways to ask more questions. Here are my benchmarks:  https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/85903391

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57829569 Maybe a thermal throttle or something along those lines? In Cyberpunk for example it drops down to 40 fps and maxes out at 100 and it is not really stable at all.

what do you mean "other people's benchmarks" other people with the same GPU? 
unless your GPU temp is over 89C you're not thermal throttling. the scores you posted actually show your GPU is doing fine. 

 

did you re-validate the game files via steam? 
have you tried reinstalling the game?

it seems you've tried a lot of niche fixes that aren't related to the issue.
undo your overclocks, default everything. then reinstall video drivers (as a clean install). then reinstall the game after a clean uninstallation.

When doing a motherboard RAID how does it warn you when a drive fails? Does it do it windows or a warning shows in post?

if you check your S.M.A.R.T. data regularly you should see it there. 
I would just use a software raid and set up notification emails on your choosen platform. 
(like trueNAS)

i finally got the issue to replicate, heres the ss:
 

you're running Win11..... it's still got issues with driver support for now. 
also, you should chill out on those firefox tabs.

I assigned a static ip in my router for truenas and plex now.  The web gui says the data is there but when I map the drive it says it cannot find it.

sounds like you have a SAMBA share issue. make sure the service is on, and that your permissions are hunky dory.

Depends on where you live in the world. Under the DMCA, which is the US's copy right law, its illegal to break copy protection on video files. That means technically speaking if you rip a DVD and there is copy protection on the disk and you circumvent that copy protection you are technically a pirate. 

 

The big thing however is that unless you distribute copy righted materials you will not go to jail or have to pay a fine to the government. HOWEVER if you are caught downloading videos you may be sued by the movie studio who owns the content. The big take away here, is dont use BitTorrent without a VPN because the way that protocol works, you share some of the file and legally could go to jail, but generally I dont think the government really enforces that law as its not easily enforceable. 

if it was enforced, enough of the 146millions working americans would go to jail that it would crimple our economy. and we can't have that. no sir-e bob.

always statically assign critical IPs within your network. 
Invest in a UPS, even just for short power blips. 
if you imported all of the pools the old datasets should be there.

also, if you backup your TrueNAS configuration you can completely restore with new hardware. I simply moved all of my drives over to new MoBo and CPU and did a configuration restore and was able to import my pools with no loss. 

backup configurations regularly (maybe monthly?) to a different PC or external drive.

Did you update your motherboard's BIOS before putting the 5600x in?

this. all the this. 
what is your motherboard?

if its "POISSLBY YES!" might want to elaborate?

no. 

Good afternoon, I am forum poster Vio Duskar. 
Today we're going to talk about electro-static discharge or ESD. 

static discharge can be bad for sensitive electronic components. most likely the discharge is being directed though the IO plate of the GPU, into the computer chassis, then into the ground. most likely not causing any damage. 
however, if that discharge arcs to a small component on the PCB, it may lower the lifespan of the component, or kill it entirely, causing the circuit to fail. one dead circuit could mean GPU no worky no mo' not extremely likely, but possible. 
 

today we talked about electrostatic discharge,

this concludes my briefing, are there any questions?

idk actually. but is what i described dangerous?

dangerous to you, no. to your GPU, possibly yes!

you may have a static buildup/ grounding issue. ground yourself to the PC case before plugging in the HDMI. 
if this doesn't work, you may need to see how your PC case/motherboard is grounded. 

sillier questions up first, 

is there damage to the PCI-e slot on top? 
are you remembering to insert the power cables in the top card?
have you tried loading default BIOS/UEFI settings?
if you put the power plug closest to the PSU into the top slot does it work? I think your PSU is under-powered for two power hungry GPUs, but it might be fine at idle/boot.
doe that motherboard support x16 pins on both slots? are you saturating your CPU's PCI-e lanes with PCI-e M.2 drives as well?

There used to be methods to circumvent the DRM, but Apple cracked down on them. I know, because I used to use those methods to remove the DRM lol. Any discussion of that here though would be against the CoC.

did you just admit to removing or bypassing DRM?? that's illegal, go to TechyJail™ @ Staff please arrest this man. Please use Tape to fix this man to a jail cell. if the tape doesn't fix it, nothing can.
