    Meganter reacted to kelvinhall05 in New build ryzen 5600x and B550M Pro-P, won't post 1 long and 2 short beeps   
    You've literally linked a thread saying that your beep code indicates a GPU problem. You have no GPU installed, and your system doesn't have an iGPU. I wonder what the problem could possibly be. Hopefully someone here knows!

    Long afternoon. Help my son put together his new gaming rig.
    No over clocking done. Just the stock cooler for now.
    CinebenchR20 cam in at around 7200... 
    Major step up from his i7 that came in around 1500.
    Still need to do some tweaking in the BIOS.
     
    Guess he wont be coming out of his Dungun for a while...

    Meganter reacted to Majkey in 20 years since my last build. How did I do? 3600XT OC, 3070   
    in the early 2000s pc building and overclocking was my biggest passion. I remember trying to get the best "score" in SuperPi :D. Pentium 4 Northwooth <3. Lost interest shortly after that and has been using old laptops since then.
    Built a new PC a couple of weeks ago when my laptop died suddenly.
    my new build consists of the following parts.
    Corsair 275R
    Ryzen 3600XT @ 4.525Ghz/4.55 Ghz (couldnt make 4.6ghz on all cores)
    BeQuiet dark rock pro 4
    MSI Tomahawk B450 Tomahawk Max
    Corsair Vengeance lpx 3600 2x8gb @ 3800mhz
    Gigabyte 3070 Gaming OC
    Cooler Master MWE Gold 650.
    I have kept up to date on tech news and have built a couple of computers for friends and family over that time but nothing for my self

    Hey just wanted to post some pics and info on my first build in a while.
     
    I guess many of you are probably looking at something similar so I'll post some benchmarks, thermals and noise levels a bit later.
     
    Currently really happy with the build after only using a 1660 laptop for a year... so a big improvement!

    Note on pics :The RAM LEDs were showing up really bright on my camera (S10e) so had to turn them off for the photos.
     
    Improvements if I had more cash or availability is a lot better where you're from (also in recommended order with estimated price increase):

    2. 850W and a more efficient PSU, +€50
    3. All SSD storage, + €220
    4. Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler (although I prefer the NH U12s for aesthetics and get decent thermals (37-40°C @ Idle) ) ; +€40

    Good Morning Updates! - Mod Participation, and Gentle Reminders
    Good morning from the West Coast, y'all! 😁
     
    Update Summary
    [11/16/2020]: Giveaway extended until Nov 20, 2020, 10:00 PM (PST). [11/17/2020]: Maximum Winners for Bonus Giveaway reduced from 2 to 1. Mod-Only Giveaway hosted.  
     
    Main/Bonus Giveaway Updates
    No one's replied to the previous post I wrote 12 hours ago, so I'm going to assume that the majority didn't encounter further issues with Monkeytype. Thus, I've decided I'll not change the stipulations.
     
     
    Mod-Only Giveaway! - To Enter
     Giveaway Gift: $10 Steam Digital Gift Card or Discord Nitro. (Maximum Winners: 1)
    Identical to Main Giveaway - To Enter deets.  
    Head to Monkeytype and login to your account, or register for an account if you don’t have an existing account. New registrants may or may not also need to verify your accounts. The typing test mode can be changed with the menu in the top-right corner. Please have time and 30 selected. Take the typing test! 😁 After you’ve completed the typing test, take two screenshots (please see below). Submit the two screenshots as a reply to this thread! (Optional) Tell me what keyboard you used to taking the typing test with! (Custom, pre-built, laptop, etc.)  
    Screenshot 1
    Taken immediately after completing the typing test. Note that if you leave this screen for whatever reason, I don’t think there’s a way to recover the page.
     
    Screenshot 2
    Taken from your Monkeytype account page, which can be found by clicking on your username. Scroll towards the bottom of the page to find a table of results.
     
     
    Gentle Reminder
    A number of this thread's participants have replied to this topic with screenshots that do not meet the qualifying criteria to enter in the giveaway. While I do not mind if members wish to show off their WPM skillz (go ahead! 👍), I do not want to get people's hopes up and subsequently let them down when their usernames are absent from the announcement status update.
     
    I would encourage all entrants to double-check their screenshots, comparing them with the details outlined in Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2 in the main post. I am deliberately not tagging people because (1) I'm shoving the responsibility onto the entrants to read the written stipulations and to follow up on any updates, and (2) I don't wish to embarrass either myself (if I misread their intentions) or the entrants (for not reading).
     
    👀...
     
    If I were to put it explicitly: If your entry didn't receive a like reaction from me, that entry is not valid.
     
     
    [Clears throat.]
    With stupid stuffy-sounding updates and reminders out of the way...
    I hope y'all have or are having a lovely day today!

    Notice: Giveaway extended until Nov 20, 10:00 PM.
     
    For those still experiencing issues with Monkeytype:
    Have you attempted to access Monkeytype with other browsers? Chrome, Firefox, Edge, heck, IE? Do you still receive error/warning messages on those browsers? Do you receive the error/warning message only when attempting to view your profile page? Does the error/warning message appear before, during, and after you've completed a typing test? Have you verified your Monkeytype account? Screenshots of the error message/error page would be helpful, perhaps? Currently probing the issue to see how I can adjust the stipulations to accommodate as many people as possible.

    Screenshot 2 is for verification purposes, since Screenshot 1 doesn't have a timestamp on it. Very sorry, but I won't budge on this rule. 😅
     
    I've asked around, and others (as well as m'self) don't seem to have problems with the site. But! I will check back in 12-ish hours.
     
    Please keep me posted if/when the site loads up (or if it still doesn't, even after 12 hours). If people are still having issues with Monkeytype, I'll make an announcement extending the giveaway date and hope that whatever the heck the issue is automagically fixes itself.
     
    (I'm not affiliated with Monkeytype; the best I/you/people can do is shoot them a message on their Discord channel, lol.)
    APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR EVERYONE AAAAAAAA---
