RAGNES7 reacted to RONOTHAN## in Need to New motherboard since this one is a BottleNeck (AMD x Nvidia)
And? That's not that big a deal with a 4060 Ti.
Is this a 980 or a 980 Pro? If it's just the regular 980 then that's a Gen 3 drive and an upgrade will do nothing. Even a 980 Pro you're unlikely to notice a difference, though admittedly there you will see one in benchmarks.
Save up until you're going to upgrade the CPU at the same time. Upgrading just the motherboard makes very little sense IMO.

RAGNES7 got a reaction from Exaco in GAMMAXX L240 ( Owned ) vs Peerless Assassin 120 ( $40-50 ) vs Deepcool AK500/620 ( $60/$70 )
just get a Deepcool AK620. no need to look any further.

RAGNES7 reacted to jaslion in No PCIe cables in a 700 watt PSU
Thats literally a bomb. It's NOT a 700w or 600w psu it will die before it does that.
Basically get a proper quality psu or have a dead pc the moment you plug a 6700 in there.

RAGNES7 got a reaction from BetteBalterZen in GPU running hot
everything else is not an issue. but the old thermal paste can be an issue, since i purchased this in 2019.

RAGNES7 got a reaction from Psittac in What is the difference between line in and out jacks and mic and headphone jacks? Can line in and out jacks be found on front IO?
one is for Audio input, other is for audio output.
Thats how the OS will recognize the devices properly.
The front IO wont be as good as the rear once sonce, the rear is directly connected to the Mobo audio channels and is shielded from other parts of mobo

RAGNES7 reacted to Renato Mattos in Linux on MacBook
Hello guys, recently I bought a used MacBook Pro 2017, its my first time using a MacBook and I really miss dual boot, I used to have on my old laptop.
Is it possible and do you guys have and tutorial on how to install linux on a 2017 MacBook Pro?
I'm hoping that I can use Kali linux.
Sorry for any words misspelled, a Brazilian friend here 😉
Ty for your time and help

RAGNES7 reacted to Mozametweakin in Sim racing compatibility
So it will be a long time before I do this, if I actually do it, but I’m considering getting into sim racing. I was just wondering if the Moza GS GT wheel was compatible with a wheel base from another company (thinking of DD Pro from Fanatec). I’m pretty sure they are, but I don’t know exactly what I would need. Also, should I save a bit of money and go for the R9 from Moza, which would remove any compatibility issues, or is the dd pro good, even at a higher price?

RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
The pins definately should not come out as soon as you unlatch the heat sink.
it should at least stay in a correct position since the retention arm should still be holding it.
if you're really paranoid about it, hold down the cooler a bit to make sure the pins are still in socket and in a the correct position,
then twist it left and right, you should be able to get the cooler to seperate at the thermal paste

RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
for price to performance
I would recommend Thermalright coolers, they're the topdog of value these days.
If you just need something a little better. you can expect about 5c better vs stock with a Thermalright Assassin X 120
look for them at $20~25 area.
If you really want a big improvement. go with Thermalright Peerless Assassin

RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
no, case fan should still spin even if the computer is screaming at you.
-
RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
there should be more fan headers on the motherboard for case fans.
plug the CPU cooler fan in one of those to check if it's really really dead.
it's very likely that's what happend
time to shop for a new cooler then.
-
RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
good
now we know there's nothing wrong with the motherboard header.

RAGNES7 reacted to Mayday793 in CPU Fan not spinning
Double check you didnt plug the fan in backwards? Thats a simple thing that could possibly cause this.
-
RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
well in this case
spin a with hand a bit, see if there's anything catching it
plug another fan into the cpu fan header see if that fan moves
or plug the cpu fan into another case fan header see if the fan moves
narrow down the problem
-
RAGNES7 reacted to ThousandBlade in CPU Fan not spinning
Fan is dead.
or accidently plugged the fan back into a case fan header

RAGNES7 reacted to mariushm in M.2 Adapter. PCIE vs Sata type
pci-e 2.0 : 500 MB/s per lane
pci-e 3.0 : 985 MB/s per lane
pci-e 4.0 : 1970 MB/s per lane
An M.2 connector can have 1, 2 or 4 pci-e lanes in it. So depending on pci-e version and number of lanes, you could have maximum speed anything between 500 MB/s and 7880 MB/s
The maximum effective speed will depend on the controller used on the SSD and also on memory chips used (MLC is faster than TLC which is much faster than QLC, and even between same type there's differences ex a 96 layer TLC chip may be faster than 112 layer chip, but the 112 layer TLC chip is cheaper so it's more used)
For example, B450 chipset on socket AM4 only creates pci-e 2.0 lanes, while the pci-e lanes coming from CPU are pci-e 3.0. The M.2 connector close to the CPU will have 4 pci-e 3.0 lanes (and therefore up to around 4 GB/s speeds if the controller on SSD can also achieve that) but the second M.2 connector will usually receive 2 or 4 pci-e 2.0 lanes from the chipset, so the maximum speed would be 1 GB/s or 2 GB/s
There are adapters that can be plugged in a pci-e slot and support 1 or 2 M.2 drives - usually the adapter simply routes 4 pci-e lanes from the slot, to the first M.2 connector on the adapter - that's the only NVME SSD supported. If the slot is pci-e 2.0, then you get up to 4 pci-e 2.0 lanes and maximum 2 GB/s.
The second M.2 slot is just SATA, and there's no connection to motherboard besides power - the adapter just offers a slot to plug the adapter in, and a SATA data connector to attach a SATA cable between the adapter and the sata port on your motherboard.

RAGNES7 reacted to An0maly_76 in M.2 Adapter. PCIE vs Sata type
Clarification, what exactly are you trying to do? If you're going through a SATA or USB port, either will cut the speed to 500-550mbps or less. PCIe3 and PCIe4 are much faster, but require a dedicated slot in the motherboard, and I'm not aware of any adapters to use a PCIe3 or PCIe4 through SATA. I have something similar to the opened-up hard drive (SATA M.2 to SATA) looking adapter (limited to SATA's 500-550 mbps), as well as a portable M.2 adapter enclosure that connects via USB, but I'm pretty sure it runs at standard USB 3.0 speeds, not the full PCIe3 or PCIe4.
By contrast, PCIe3 / PCIe4 in dedicated M.2 slots average 2200-3400 mbps or more with PCIe3, and for boot drives, this is the best configuration. There are also PCIe slot cards and brackets for this as well for PCIe3 / PCIe4, but will likely be limited to PCIe3. Just keep in mind, as I found with my Sandy Bridge LGA1155, some older CPUs do not support booting from PCIe. I think this capability came about with Coffee Lake and AM4, I've heard ASRock now has an AM3+ board with an M.2 slot that appears to be PCIe3.
Some PCIe4s can hit 4000-5000 or more, but they run hotter and performance increase beyond 3400 is negligible. But I'm pretty sure running a PCIe version through anything but a dedicated motherboard M.2 slot, will not achieve full speed. Also, some slots supposedly can do PCIe OR SATA, and with motherboards that have multiple M.2 slots, sometimes one (or both) will disable certain SATA ports when occupied.
There are also what have been dubbed DIMM.2 adapters, which are what they sound like, an M.2 adapter that uses a DIMM slot. These appear decidedly SATA, from the power and data connections up top. The opened-up hard drive adapter you refer to is likely SATA only as well.
In summary, the opened-up hard drive-type you speak of are great for when a drive bay is available you don't otherwise need. The other similar type I have and the DIMM.2 come in handy when you have no free drive bay in a cramped SFF case and need an option that can be tucked away somewhere.
Here are some examples. Left to right, DIMM.2, SATA M.2 adapter, differences in M.2 key between SATA / PCIe, and the portable enclosure I spoke of...

RAGNES7 got a reaction from GoodBytes in Which is best 144hz 1440p 27inch IPS monitor?
Oh okay, it looks like a eye candy. But given the fact im in a Third world country, im pretty sure there is no QC check here. Im gonna save money for a good IPS, 144HZ, 2k Screen

the Odyssey G5 is a horrible monitor, slow as hell response times, extreme curvature, too many quality control issues.

RAGNES7 reacted to MrMase in Dynamic vs Basic Memory
For consistency unless needing features of dynamic disk I would set it back to Basic.
