  1. I just posted this on the r/Minecraft subreddit though thought I'd post this here too. I might be more than a day late but life got in the way! If like me you prefer to play with shaders in order to make a snapshot playthrough something more long term then this is the post for you! I haven't yet seen a post related to getting this working and whilst I am sure a lot of people out there may know how to do this I also feel as though I should make others aware of it too! Keep reading below to reproduce this yourself. Before and after enabling shaders on 24w14potato Snapshot Step 1 - Make sure the Minecraft Poisonous Potato (24w14potato) update is installed in the default Minecraft launcher (Download the 24w14potato snapshot and open it at least once, then close down the game and the launcher if it is still running). Step 2 - Download the Universal Jar from Iris Shaders website. Make sure Java is installed to double-click this. Step 3 - Open the Universal Jar that was just downloaded (Iris-Installer-3.2.0.jar) and select the game version - Look for '24w14potato' in the drop down. If done correctly the 'Use Distant Horizons beta version' check box should be disabled and there should also be text in yellow saying 'Warning: 24w14potato is a snapshot build and may lose support at any time'. Step 4 - Select the installation type. In this case select 'Iris Only' (Unfortunately 'Iris + Fabric' will crash on launch) and make sure that the Installation Directory is set to the default .minecraft folder. Select Install! Step 5 - Re-Open the Minecraft Launcher, inside the installation tab should now be a version called 'Iris & Sodium for 24w14potato'. Select Play and that's the installation complete! Go grab a shader and have fun! In the case your block borders have now become really thick with a shader pack turned on, try with a texture pack. This sorted it for me. Only working for Java edition currently.
  2. As mentioned by @OhioYJ what you're suggesting here is normal, are you turning this switch on/of every time you use the computer though? I would recommend only flipping this when necessary, ie working on your machine or if it will be off for weeks at a time. I found out the hard way that these rocker switches were not designed to be used in that way, eventually mine stopped working as a switch!
  3. You have made a very solid point... I have been meaning to do more with my NAS so this might be the best thing for it! I like that idea a lot
  4. Thanks for the help! I'll leave my main rig be for now. Cheers!
  5. Thanks for the help! I'll leave my main rig be for now. Cheers!
  6. Thanks for the insightful information! Basically not at all worth changing then. I may still throw it together with a much cheaper motherboard and ram but we'll see. Thanks for your help
  7. Budget (including currency): No budget Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily Lightroom image editing and gaming. Hiya folks, Today I won a Ryzen 7 2700X on auction for a whopping £47. Because of this small win I am tempted to get an ASUS TUF GAMING B450-PLUS II motherboard and a 64GB kit of 3600MHz CAS18 for £270 total. Combined total with CPU is just below £320. I already have a cooler that will handle this chip with correct mounting. Is this going to be worth it or shall I not bother? I have my E5-1860 V2 overclocked to 4.5GHz currently and get a score similar to the stock 2700X ~ Cinebench R15 points as follows: ~ 1652 points Multi & 162 points single core. I am going to overclock this chip, will the price be worth it when the chip is overclocked? In case it was not obvious, I have been out of the loop for a while. Cheers, Brennan.
  8. Yes, I believe OP has now established that from my response but I think they are trying to figure out how the whole 'two USB ports per header' works if that makes sense? Or at least in terms of how it will work with the case they will be using I think...
  9. Are you able to add pictures of the headers you have available to you so that I can understand your question a bit better please?
  10. A header consists of 9 pins, a single USB port only needs 4. As such a typical USB header cable will have two USB terminations on the end and does not need a splitter. See below.
  11. A single header can provide for two USB ports, therefore two USB headers equal 4 usable USB ports.
  12. I first want to address the fact that the PSU that you have in your system is a cheap PSU (please get a better one based on your rig) but it does have a smart thermal fan speed control circuit to which would likely mean that it is spinning up higher under load. I do not believe the fan on this unit ever turns off though. I'd suggest stress test CPU and GPU separately to each other. If the noise is not there when just single tested on their own then move onto both at the same time, you'll then likely figure out if it is PSU fan or not that is making the noise. You will want the side panel off when testing under load to hear any changes in noise and to figure out which components are louder than others. I'd recommend a good 600W PSU really for your build. 500W bronze cert is pushing it a bit if you want your machine to last.
  13. This info would have been useful before hand, I know you've just edited your original post to reflect it. I'm afraid to say that Windows 11 is a different kettle of fish, neither have I worked on it myself so I could be very little help from here on. I can imagine the process is not too dissimilar to using a Windows 10 bootable usb though.
  14. OK can I confirm that all your drivers are up to date? Most notably your graphics drivers?
