  1. Hi everyone, wondering if anyone has done this and how it went for you. I currently have an RX580 in my rig and want to use an extra gtx 970 I've got for it's cuda cores to work with tensorflow. I'm wondering if I can just install the 970 in my second pci-e slot and get drivers for it without using it for my main display. Tensorflow doesn't play well with amd cards from what I've been able to figure out so being able to just use the 970 would be a lot easier for me than forcing the amd card to work through (what I think is called) open cv. Any advice or knowledge would be appreciated. Wish me luck as I jump into AI and deep learning as a noob
  2. ok, thanks everyone I think ill get it from here. appreciate your time and expertise.
  3. steam, it was a bunch of games, i'm not sure if there were other launchers involved
  4.

  7. It is a ryzen 1700x, 16gb ddr4 3200, on a x370 killer sli/ac mobo, rx580 red devil gpu, 240mm AIO cooler, 500gb ssd and 2tb hard drive. I did not try that yet. That's the lil coin sized battery on the motherboard right? Just gotta pull that bad boy put and put it back in?
  8. Hello everyone, I just got my computer backs free two years of it being turned off and stored and I think I may have a dead graphics card. Story is that the computer was shipped over seas (it was very thoroughly bubble wraped) recently and Im trying to get it up and running after that and it having been turned off for a bit more than two years. I'm not getting any video output from the card and it seems as if everything else is working. I'm getting lights and fans and all that from the computer but no video out. I'm wondering if people think it's an issue with the graphics card or with the motherboard or something like that. thanks!

    PIA help

    Hello! i tried installing PIA tonight and even though i am getting a green connection confirmation there is almost always no VPN IP address and i am not able to connect to any sites. I have tried reinstalling the PIA application, and also tried changing the Port as well as the Connection Type. i got on the PIA help chat and the agent had me reinstall PIA again and also try to change the ports again. occasionaly i will be able to get a connection but that has only happened twice in the few hours ive been messing around with this. I also turned off my firewall settings on both my router and windows defender in an attempt to get things to work. as they did not really help anything i have turned them back up. im wondering if there is something small that i am missing as i am fairly new to working with networking things. I live in the US and have comcast internet and looking on their site it said they do not restrict VPN usage. any help i can get from this community would be greatly appreciated in this matter.
  11. My goof up on the GPU thing. I meant to say the 2400G, thanks for the help though everyone
  12. So I've got a boot drive from a Windows system with a ryzen 1700 as it's cpu and it was running a 580 for graphics. I'm currently looking into building a low budget computer and I want to use a ryzen 2600 as it's cpu and graphics untill I can afford to upgrade. I'm wondering if you guys see any problem with using that old boot drive without being able to get onto it and update drivers or anything like that. If I don't have to buy a new boot drive it will save me some money.
  13. Hi all! So I've had this mouse for a while, used it with a laptop before but recently upgraded to a desktop. The mouse still works great with the computer when its turned on. The problem is that when the computer is off, and if you bump the mouse, it will start with the lighting effects like it's turned on. I'm wondering if anyone has delt with this. I figured the motherboard still had power going to that particular port but I switched it to a different port and it was the same. My keyboard does not act like this. Any thoughts?
  14. So i built a computer for a buddy of mine and loaded up windows 10 so i could bench mark some games before i handed the computer over to him. well come to find out that he dosent want windows on his system but wants a clean slate to build a Linux setup off of. I figure if i format the ssd that has the windows 10 os on it using Daariks Boot and Nuke tool it should do the trick of cleaning the operating system and any games and other data that has been stored to the computer. i just have never used this tool and don't know if there will be unintended side effects like bricked motherboards or hard drives
  15. alrighty, well, i really appreciate the input, I'm gonna shuffle some things and do a bit of waiting i suppose
  16. do you expect the price to jump from what it is now significantly?
  17. meaning that there will be a new ryzen 7 chip?
  18. Already built my first computer but I did it for someone else. This will be my second build and this is going to be my personal rig, what do you guys think about the specs as a gaming rig as well as 3d modeling and work station. peripherals are not included as i already have a mouse and monitor and such. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6XywtJ
  19. Hey everyone, Im getting set up to build my first gaming rig! I've got all my shiney new parts and i want to start slapping things together but i want to ensure that I won't short out any components, I have a wood bench and hard floors so im not to worried about carpet but i am still slightly paranoid about putting this thing together. I guess more than anything I'm wondering if I'm being paranoid or if I do need to invest in a mat or a strap or something like that. Also, my workbench has a big tv on it. if I don't have to take it off I'd rather not but if that would make things way worse please let me know. Thanks everyone
