Underi

Just watched steve's video on the cooler and wow I'm kind of regretting ever buying the NH-D15. And here I thought Noctua was the best money could buy. I'm honestly so sick of the metal-wire-trying-to-desperately-hold-fans-yet-sagging type of install that many manufacturers do, including noctua. I'll be looking into buying this just because the fans have been installed infinitely better. No more trying to have the fans stay in place. This thing seems perfect for the money. And it's cheaper than the noctua too. How has there been ZERO innovation from noctua in the last, what, 10 years now despite being hailed the best of the best in computer air cooling by practically everyone. Linus should instead do a deepcool collab on the screwdriver.

Well, there really seems to be something wrong with the card. It's still crashing even when just listening to youtube browsing steam store. Also seeing artifacts just before the screen would go black. I'll most likely be returning this card and paying 70€ more for a 6700 XT.

Not sure yet. I got instructions from AMD to update my BIOS, update to 22H2 version of Windows (I was on 21H2) and to reinstall the drivers. I've now done this all and I guess we'll see if it helps. Here are the exact instructions I got:

Thanks, I'll do that right now.

I did uninstall nvidia drivers with DDU before installing the new card but not since. Not sure, just went on AMD site and downloaded one for the 7600. Says "Adrenalin Edition for Radeon™ RX 7600"

Hey. Decided to upgrade after 9 long years with my dear GTX 970. It was clearly nearing the end of it's life with problems OC'ing and modern triple-A games not running at 60fps even on the lowest of settings. The RX 7600 seemed like a great upgrade option but I'm starting to regret it. I thought the meme about AMD drivers being dogwater and constant crashes and issues were just fanboys flaming and unfounded in general. Surely it can't be THAT bad? Well, I got the card three days ago and honestly it's starting to be too much. It happens AT LEAST daily, the drivers crashing, the screen going blank. If not during almost every game session. It doesn't matter if it's something lightweight like League or Cyberpunk 2077, it can and probably will crash. I'm talking like 5-15 times a day. Sometimes even when I'm just watching a youtube video. Is this really "normal" for an AMD card or is it just that new or is the card faulty? I honestly don't remember having any issues ever with my 970 unless I was overclocking.

Doing fine here, constant 60+ fps at least on lows with occasional dips to 50-60 during graphically heavy scenes like outside with tons of grass. 100% playable. i5 8400 GTX 970

They're surprisingly popular there. I wonder what kind of competition there is on bilibili regarding general tech channels.

I guess wow has this too but osrs gold selling is a thing. Read an article once about how people in poor countries farm gold in osrs and sell that gold for dollars which there buys lot lot more stuff than, say, in the US. https://www.polygon.com/features/2020/5/27/21265613/runescape-is-helping-venezuelans-survive The thing about OSRS is that you don't need to be all that good at the game to make money unlike in competitive games. You need to obviously understand it and there's a huge time investment, but you don't need to be the best in the world at runescape to make money.

Not much I guess, but all of the parts unused are very old and low-end so it would be good for basic browsing at most. I have two late 2000s GPUs, some cases, fans, coolers, PSUs. Few dying HDDs with broken sectors, so yeah, pretty much just need a motherboard, RAM and a processor but you wouldn't be doing anything but check your email with it. Wouldn't be worth the hassle selling these for a couple of euros, my time is worth than what I would get from making the ads and meeting buyers etc, so it's all just sitting in the attic in case I would need a temporary hard drive or other spare parts.

I didn't really want to run memtest since it takes forever. My motherboard detects the RAM speeds wrong and underclocks them to 2600MHz I think, that's why I have XMP and slight ram OC. I'll do it this weekend if the crashes keep coming.

I've been riddled with constant daily crashes on my PC for the past couple of weeks. So far the dump files haven't really helped other than it's most likely a "driver issue". I uninstalled GPU drivers in safe mode with DDU twice now and seems like it didn't help. I also had a 3 year old Seagate drive fail just outside of warranty, so I removed that if it could've been the culprit. The last two BSODs are quite interesting however. Both were "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE"s and both had the same parameter 3, which indicates "A LIST_ENTRY has been corrupted". The only difference was that during the first one I used Shadowplay and the process_name in the dump was nvcontainer.exe, which is Shadowplay. When I realized that I uninstalled drivers with shadowplay and Geforce Experience and started using OBS with replay buffer. The crashing seemed to stop for 3 days, until 5 minutes ago when the same crash with same parameters happened, only with obs.exe. So my PC really doesn't like recording. I'll attach my specs and the two dump files here if anyone can read them better than me and help. i5 8400 GTX 970 2 years old 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz CL16 running at 3600MHz Drives are Kingston KC2500 NVMe 500GB SSD, 4TB Seagate Barracuda and a 2TB WD Blue.

Might've wanted to try Lubuntu or other more lightweight distros. We used it on a 2008 Pentium at school and it ran perfect.

Yeah I had tried those before making the post here. The switch being faulty wouldnt matter cuz I tried to start by shorting the switch pins on the mobo anyways.

Got it to start by shorting PS_ON for a minute or so until the CPU debug LED disappeared. Power switch still doesn't work.

Well the new seasonic did work in an another system I tried, but if the motherboard was faulty what makes it work with one psu and not others?

Yeah it works.

Well you clearly didn’t read my messages. This is my first modular supply, I do not have any other cables than the ones the power supply came with. Haven’t tried since it’s not enough to game anyways. Will do now.

No I have not, this is my first modular supply. And yes the cables are correct.

I’m completely at my wits end. I have a 2017 built system with a MSI Z370 PC PRO motherboard and previously had a GTX 970 and a Seasonic S12ii-520 PSU. Yesterday evening I decided to upgrade and bought a 3070 and a be quiet dark power 12 1000W. After work I got home, replaced the parts and nothing. I’ve been troubleshooting the whole last night. I came to the conclusion that the PSU is faulty since I tested with just the motherboard, RAM, CPU and PSU connected and it didn’t work unless I connected my older Seasonic. I went back to the store an hour ago, RMA’d the bequiet and took a Seasonic GX-1000 back with me. Well guess what. Same thing. It doesnt work, except if I short the green and black pin while the 24pin is connected to the mobo. Everything fires up and EZ debug CPU led lights up. Shuts down as soon as I let go. This doesn’t happen with the old 520w seasonic. What the hell could be wrong here? Why would it work with one PSU and not others? If the motherboard was faulty why would it work at all? What’s the variable here???

Exactly, and I can get a decent backpack that’ll last me a few years for 50€ from the local supermarket. Honestly I’m going into this expecting to be scammed and/or disappointed. There was already a review showing strands of thread sticking out and at $250, not to mention 400€ that I ended up paying it’s completely unacceptable. The backpack should be flawless when it comes to build quality.

I don’t think it’s that. I only ordered the backpack and ended up paying 55$ for shipping + taxes. So it’s a 400€ backpack for me. Shipping prices to EU are just insane. The level of quality I’m expecting for this price is VERY high. Feels like either they have huge profit margins or are covering the development fees with early customers and then will drop the price later on.

I'm using an 8 years old GTX 970 that has started showing weird symptoms. Occasionally, but relatively often (tens of times a day) the screen will flicker just for milliseconds as black and white lines. This seems to happen when the GPU is somehow being used or under load, for example when going full screen on a youtube video, changing focus on applications, when a game is loading or about to load in etc. My computer has also started shutting down as if the power was cut. I am using a cheapo Seasonic PSU that has just run out of the 5 year warranty (S12ii-520W). The GPU has been used quite extensively, I've overclocked it before, run it to 100°C, flashed the bios (it's on the original currently) and lately mining whenever the PC isn't in use. As such it's honestly not a surprise that the GPU would be dying, but I'd be glad if others have had similar experiences or can tell from the symptoms what exactly is going on. Here's a clip and a screenshot of the flicker. For some reason it seems very opaque when watching the vid on my computer. IMG_3948.MP4

OpenCV was quite fun on python, had a project for a medical company to have the program detect if there were pills in a pill dispenser and know if people with dementia had taken their medication. It was done in under a month too. I think OpenCV would be a great idea.

Looking to upgrade my PSU in advance for the future 6800XT that I might get my hands on. Was looking into the 800W+ range and found the Seasonics 1KW Prime PX-1000 power supplies. They come in 80+ Platinum and 80+ Titanium efficiencies, the Titanium one is 100€ more expensive and might take a bit longer to arrive as the Platinum one has less backorders than the Titanium. Other than that I can't see significant changes in the product info, same 12 year warranty, same connections, same size, same fan etc. Is it worth to pay 100€ for the titanium one? Currently running a Seasonic S12II-520W.
