did you find the drivers for it? I just googled the model and it gives requirements + system specs need for the doc to work.
https://en.j5create.com/products/jcd543
it looks like you also need a driver to make it work.
Yeah, I already installed the drivers, no change. tried reinstalling, and restarting a couple of times, and no it doesn't seem to charge over USB.
(my laptop is capable of charging over the USB C port but its main charging port is the old barrel sharing port, thought it worth mentioning it) -
Hi! Help me figure this out, please...
so I had this HP laptop for about 3 years ago: HP ENVY x360 Laptop - 15m-ee0023dx,
I wanted to add an ethernet connection.. so I found on FB marketplace this dock J5 create Model: JCD543.
but no matter what I do, I just can't get it to be recognized by the computer... no USB keyboard/mouse nothing...
I see some threads over hp no supporting docking stations or something but my laptop c-port specs are:
1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C™ (10 Gb/s signaling rate, Power Delivery 3.0, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge);also, I already got a USB hub with only USB A ports (I belive 3.0) and it works just fine...
at this point... I would rather take the lose and try and resell the dock and buy something else rather than being forced to buy a new laptop...
any thoughts?TIA

the n64 typically renders 3d object at HALF the resolution of an old tv (240 instead of 480) while also blurring the image on purpose to hide the lack of antialiasing while also have very little memory for texture data so what kind of quality were you expecting from it?
Well I just connected it to the flat screen (pretty old one, might not even be 4k)
And it looks far better and the game is playable. So I guess false alarm, the problem is the CRT, at least for anything newer then Sega Genesis..
At least I got it for free.

did you want to tell us how you connected the 64 to the tv or is that a secret for us to figure out

So I got a CRT and I hooked up all my retro consoles to it (Sega Genesis, Hyperkin retron 1 hd, Wii, PS2, Atari 2600, Sega dreamcast and Nintendo 64)
To my surprise the Nintendo 64 had worse graphics, the picture, especially in game, not as terrible in menus, is so bad it's unplayable, it's hard to explain, and it might be hard to show it in a picture but it's just way too blurry, everything looks like a undefined mash of colors on the screen, I haven't tried all my Nintendo 64 games but in both majora's mask and ocarina of time, it looks terrible.
i remember connecting the Nintendo 64 before, to a newer flat screen, that the rest of the HDMI capable consoles plugged to, and it didn't look bad at all and was very much playable..
Any thoughts?
TIA

For that price I dont think you are getting one headset that fits your bill let alone two. I would hiiiighly recommend picking up a used iPad or a newer android tablet.
I am only looking for one pair for her.
Maybe my title is wrong. I am now confused about what they are called but I'm actually looking for video display galsses nreal air or rokid AR, seems like they are typically $400-500

May I ask why getting a tablet is out of the question?
It is not... But glasses would be easier for longer periods of time since we sit 6-7 hours and might be tiring holding a tablet.. which I know there are solutions for that as well but wires and tubes.. and nurses around her so seems like glasses with one single cord would be best solution.

Hi everyone
So cancer has gotten to us.
What I need is glasses that will allow my wife to watch while doing chemo.
Preferably lite weight but screen quality is top priority.
She will mostly going to be watching movies and TV shows. It won't be used for gaming so no need for crazy refresh rate or any AR functionality.
$300-400 range maybe?
Thanks!!

Yes GPU. That 1080 would be a cheeky upgrade, that rig shouldve been 350$ already if it werent for that fully loaded D41. 400$ is fair enough to me but yeah 350-375.
yea the build does have GPU but he quoted me $400 without the GPU, anyway, i ended up ordering everything off NewEgg, added some warrenty on some of the stuff, ended up paying $512.

Generated by PCPartPicker 2023-08-20 23:01 EDT-0400If you want a PSU thatll last much longer you can carry to the next build, these are few of my recommendations.
i can pick this up locally (used, no GPU) for $400, is it worth it?
*Also on the build, is it possible to find a case with no glass panel? i can already see the glass being all over the floor from being kicked*

Yeah but a used prebuilt would be better, im sure OP could find a system with a 1660 or something
Yea, but i already got an RX 590, i mean if i find a prebuilt with the specs recommended above (Ryzen 5/7 3600 and up) with a graphics card for that price, sure i'll take it, and sell the RX 590, but i've been looking around trying to figure this out for the past probably two months and i wont be able to get anything remotely close to that,
best i could find for like $250-300 was like an i7 7700k with a gtx 1060, not even close in performance. -
Budget (including currency): 450
Country: NC, USA
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft bedrock/Roblox, school learning.
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
Already got, RX 590 8G.

new? Not much
Actually nothing that good
Just try going for something like this used pc
Dell Optiplex Computer PC Desktop Windows 10 Pro Intel i7-8700 32GB RAM 1TB SSD | eBay
What about:

Thats kinda horrid when you can get both for 100-150$ consistently on ebay, but instead of 4500 its Ryzen 5 3600 so the memory controller isnt fully cursed. Try to save that 20-25$ more for 5500 and get the full fat Zen 3 architecture instead of a rehashed failed Zen 2 cores.
Sorry to bump an old thread but, now i sold the old computer, and all in on buying new parts, so now i need everything but a Graphics card.
The only part i absolutely know nothing about and cannot decide on is the motherboard.keeping in mind, its a simple minecraft/roblox build, it would probably only have one m.2 or one SSD, so nothing special, it would probably not be overclocked, i will be using the rx 590, i will be using the cooler that comes with the CPU...
what would be a decent build? -

Fuck the ideals and look at your current situation, you wanna stick to ideals then stop being a cheapskate and fork up the money
just buy a sata to 8 pin, you wont really be running that much power through the 8 pin anyways once undervolted
I think I actually solved the problem altogether. I found on both Amazon and Newegg a deal for a Ryzen 5 4600 with a motherboard for $180.
That way, I can use the same case, get an upgrade in performance, and try and squeeze in a new PSU in these $20ish. -

Gpu isnt a major concern for a minecraft build, cpu is abit weak though and thats what really matters for high refresh mc
Can you take a pic of the psu and its wattage table? You can undervolt the gpu to run around 100-120w considering my 580 2048sp at .86v runs at 95w for the gpu chip itself (1120 core) and that cpu will problably not be drawing much more than its tdp at full load, id say you can problably get away with even a 20a 12v rail at worst
well the PSU will need to be replaced since i dont have an extra 8pin connecter to plug in the GPU, and yea this is why i thought of just replacing the CPU/MOBO + PSU. but then again, the budget is tight.

What parts of the front i/o aren't fitting?
Does the motherboard have an m.2 slot?
The Front I/O is fine; the SATA cable from the I/O to the motherboard is in the way and prevents me from using the GPU I just bought.
It's hardwired to the I/O, and I might be able to find a slim 90-degree extender that I could use, but it seems like a lot of work, and since I do have a bit of budget left for this overall birthday gift (Saturday, July 29th), I thought of fitting a "new" used CPU/mobo/power supply. I can survive without an SSD and buy it later in a few months. -

AMD RADEON RX 590*Following the previous post on the GPU forum*
*Yes I know Minecraft is mostly CPU hungry*
*SOLD* *IRRELEVENT*
Building my son a school/Minecraft/Roblox build, started by buying a prebuilt Lenovo tower with an i5 6500/2tb mechanical/16 GB ram. ($60)
*SOLD* *IRRELEVENT*
I bought an RX 590 today ($70)
The problem is I will need to replace the power supply since it doesn't have the extra 8-pin for the GPU. Also, I had to unplug the front I/O From the motherboard because the cable was in the way to even mount the GPU.
So I am beginning to think I will most likely need to replace the motherboard power supply probably add SSD and possibly the case to complete the build.so what would be a proper $200 best bang for the $ mobo power supply?
thank you!

A new build with an i3 12100f/13100f is as cheap as you can get when it comes to the best single threaded performance in 2023. You'd have to jump to a Ryzen 7600 or 13500 (double the price) to get the next price tier. In terms of GPUs, either RX 580's or a new RX 6600 8GB are the best options in my opinion. You could always opt for the regular SKUs of those CPUs and see if the integrated graphics are plenty, or just using the GTX 960 to start given the games they actually play.
Yea, but a new build wouldn't be $150-200. even prebuilt with these processors start at around $400.
If pairing the i5 6500 with a GPU won't make any difference in Minecraft game performance, then we might as well scrap the whole idea and get him a different birthday gift. Currently, he does have an Xbox One X with Minecraft, so it's not like he can't play the game at all.
but if I can get him a graphic card that will help a little and will let him play some games on my Steam library and next year buy a new computer and move the GPU over then it's worth it. I guess. maybe not. -

honestly an 8GB AMD RX580 would be a great pairing for an i5 6500 Or a GTX 1070/1070ti
I'm afraid though that i5 6500 would not be enough for the Minecraft experience I was looking for.
I mean it's not solely for Minecraft. He will be using my Steam account (which I haven't in years, as you can see in the screenshot)

You'll only get DLSS in bedrock (windows 10 edition). not java.
it will be the bedrock edition, DLCs.. playing online and so on.

Minecraft is almost entirely bound by single-core CPU performance and RAM speed. Also, an SSD is crucial for traveling, as it vastly improves the speed at which chunks can load in. The GPU generally doesn't matter much, even at high settings. My own RTX 2060 Super is never the bottleneck in vanilla Minecraft, even with the settings cranked as high as they go. The Ryzen 9 5900X is the bottleneck, that and the DDR4-3333 memory speed.
If you don't need RT, you can get away with a very meager GPU when pairing it with an i5 6500 for Minecraft. The problem is going to be that it'll be hard to get an i5 6500 to run Minecraft at 144fps consistently.
I see. not the answer I was hoping for haha. yea, I guess it's time to see about a new desktop rather than a GPU upgrade.

So I am looking to pair a GPU for my son's new, low-end gaming desktop. (i5 6500, 16GB ram, OEM mobo)
The budget is about $150, which I offered for the 2070 super but declined, and it was sold.
Anyway, I am a very savvy shopper and, in the past, got far better deals than any scrapyard wars.
So far, any card below the 2070 or 2070 super online has had trash pricing and was way overpriced to value (As Linus mentioned in a recent video)
My question is, giving I can find another 2070 super for about $180, what would be a reasonable price for a 2060 or 2060 super? What would be the tradeoffs?
What I am trying to achieve (at least for the next year until his next birthday) is solid, high settings, 144 Hz, and 1080P Minecraft experience. With DLSS is ok; no RT is needed. -

With a budget like that, probably a GTX 980/Ti. Though an RX580 might perform better with its higher memory config.
Locally I should be able to get off Facebook Marketplace either a GTX 1080 or, with a bit of stretching, an RTX 2060. but i also wonder which would be the AMD equivalents(or better) that i might be able to get better value off of eBay

freezes
in Troubleshooting
Posted
Hey guys! I built a computer for my son about a year ago and recently it's been freezing a lot no error, no way to go back to Windows, keyboard seems to lock up (caps, etc..) as well.
specs:
Ryzen 5 5600
silicon power 32gb ddr4 3200
Gigabyte B550M Aorus elite am4
MSI MAG A650BM 650W
Mushkin m.2 1tb PCIe gen3
DIYPC MA08-BK Black USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower (huge mistake, terrible airflow)
and RX 590 8G (this is the only part I bought second-hand, used)
the freezes are fairly random, but I know for a fact when trying to play Fortnite, a bit after starting a session (dropping off the bus) it freezes.
but my son mostly plays Roblox/Minecraft, seems like it happens in Roblox now, but not so much in Minecraft, and Im fear it's the graphics card, which is not a huge deal (rx590 is what? $60 now?) but can't really test it since I don't have any other graphics card.. is there any error log somewhere I can access to see what could have been the cause?
