It doesn't have to be that powerfull and expensive.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/t8c48d/be-quiet-pure-power-11-400-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-bn292 is a perfect PSU for a NAS. Very effycient at low loads.

Thanks, I went with that in the end from technextday Be Quiet! 400W Pure Power 11 PSU Fully Wired Rifle Bearing Fan 80 Gold Cont. Power

I have set up a new Nas, I tired with an old trusted psu but its final days are coming for it it seems and my system stability is out the wazoo. So I tried with my sf750 psu from my main pc and its been running solid for a day now.

The specs are:

2x4tb 5400 Seagate Nas drives. 

16gb ddr4 ram

Ryzen 3600

1tb 980 nvme

No gpu. (might get one in the future for vms) 

B550 mobo.

I want something with good low power efficiency but it not break the bank. Looking around max £110. 80+ gold maybe titanium if possible. 

I have a ventus 3x 3080 which was quite load I just resulting in undervolting it and then using a custom fan curve on MSI afterburner(I had to use DDU because my custom profile was because I upgraded from a 970). undervolting is pretty easy just find a video on YT. for reference that's what my curve looks like: 

Hi, 

I was just wondering when tshirts are going to be stocked again? I feel like most of the tshirts have been OoS since christmas time. I haven't checked religiously but every couple weeks and there still isn't any. Also, older designs are these going to come back at some point or is that what the mystery shirts are for?

Hi!

 

I've been thinking about getting an Oculus Quest 2 for a bit now, but I'm a little worried its a bad idea.

It mainly stems from the fact that the Oculus Quest 3 is rumored to be announced early next year. I don't want to buy a VR system only for a better (and possibly cheaper) version to come out a month later, so if you guys could answer a few questions for me that would be great.

[Forewarning: Most of these will be about speculation]

 

1) Is there any credible info that the next model will be a more expensive/'Pro' model?

2) Will the Oculus Quest 2 become obselete soon? (i.e. no more updates, games won't work, etc)

3) Are there any other VR headsets around the same price range which might be better?

 

If you've got any more information that might be helpful feel free to add it.

 

Thanks!

At this point I'd wait till the end of the month with Oculus Connect just around the corner  https://www.facebookconnect.com/en-gb/. ( I would guess a guess a quest 2 pro not a quest 3 being released at OC) Quest 2 is defo the best value right now, but that's partially because of the money they get from your data. I would say oculus has led the VR development for some time tbh, but with the likes of Sony getting back into the swing of things it could get interesting. I can't see companies releasing too many more PCVR headsets I reckon that they'll be standalones, wireless PCVR is pretty flawless if you've got the right setup  

I've had issues before with ryzen with power plans with the 3600, have you checked that it isn't in power saver mode or something? 

I know that EA games like star wars squadrons and battlefront 2 don't need HDR enabled in windows. HDR looks horrible on my monitor but I didn't get it for its HDR ability. 

You can get a quest 2 without all the facebook stuff actually, but it'll cost ya  its $800 I think for the business orientated version. Will be interesting to know if the streaming over air link is comparable to VD or better. I've heard that there is a 100mbps limit on AMD card and a 200mbps limit on the Nvidia cards. with virtual desktop only capable of 150mbps I wonder if the extra 50mbps of bandwidth will make a big difference or not. It'll also be sweet to use ASW for flight sim  (I'm cheap and don't want to buy a link cable )

I have got the download started, a nice 4.4GB  see how it'll run on a 3080  

ryzen power mode set to high performance?

My usb cable that came with my printer was dodgy AF I would perhaps try a new USB cable, if that doesn't work you can and then remove the drivers and get the drivers to install again? 

I would probs just go the RAMPS route with octoprint  I think you'll struggle with that budget personally

yeah tired that was my first thought i may of had bad ram but nope same issue with boot onse i get into windows using the bios system is perfectly fine i have even gone as fart to do a full new windows insatll still not change.

Sorry man, out of ideas  hope you fix it

ive done this ive tried windows boot man as the first one and also my ssd still no luck with any of them ?

You tried with just a single stick to boot into windows without issue?

Well the device is a xbox and os is yeah

You would probably need a splitter for an xbox? I'm guessing here

The old gpu is an rtx 2060. I see so drivers are the only things that impact the gpu performance? So with this idealogy, I would be able to plug this rtx 3070 into any build and it will run just like new as long as I have the right drivers? 

I guess its not as simple as that, as your CPU needs to be powerful enough to drive your GPU, there's something called being GPU bound where you would see something like 99% GPU usage this would be taking full advantage of your card. if your CPU cant give your GPU enough instructions in enough time you'll see some degradation in performance, this usually manifests itself at lower resolutions because you'll be driving higher frame rates. so you would see perhaps 100% cpu usage and 75 GPU for example. 

this might be useful:

Sometimes nvidias drivers are a bit borked, I play VR and apparently there's a bug in the latest driver that affects peformance in MSFS 2020, but I would just recommend getting the latest driver, there's usually drivers that are called game ready that will conincide with a new release, most recent example would be cyberpunk 2077. 

But yeah in general it should just work  

Just looks like the chips were soldered with heat and its discoloured the pcb silkscreen?

I see so my motherboard and psu should be capable? Even if they are lower quality ones. 
 

and as for the gpu, would it run like new when installed on my new pc? If I install it to my old one first

What was the old GPU? It will use whatever driver is installed, so if that was an Nvidia one it'll be the latest driver that you had installed, if you didn't have an Nvidia one, and an AMD/no gpu you would get a fairly old driver that windows should install automatically. I would just recommend downlaoding geforce expereince, easiest way of keeping ur drivers up to date  And yeah your mobo and psu should be fine

You should be able to change boot order, select the right boot section and it should be fine, that seems like the issue could be wrong  Youll do that in the BIOS

Well I'm running a 3080 with a 3600 with a 650W PSU for a couple of months now and its been fine, so take that as you may  Drivers should be fine, if you do run into any issues you can use something like DDU in safe mode:https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html it'll remove traces of old drivers.

I've got into nightcity now and the perf on the 3080 isn't the greatest. its not using my CPU that much ~60% usage on a 3600 with GPU usage about 70... which is a shame, I've dropeed it down to high with DLSS on perf mode and ultra RT 

I mean it still runs on the old consoles, I would imagine it is fine. Maybe driving around night city at speed may cause hiccups?

I can't do it with any array. It's an exercice from school.

if you can't use an array and need to use random you will have to use a while loop. A for loop will not work because it may run the same number twice and you wont get a string that's 11 characters long.

The thing is that I want numbers from 1 to 10 randomly generated with no repetitions.

 

Your syntax repeats numbers but thanks for the help!

a single string? if so you'll need a global scope for your variable. random isn't really random per se. from what I remember it takes the current time on ur CPU clock and from that passes it into a formula to give u a number. so a random number each time could be 11111111 not 12456 if that makes some sense. If you don't want them to repeat you will need to perform a check that those values aren't already used so if the first random number is 1 then that can't be used again for the random number.
