    I have re installed gta already I don’t want to have to re instal apex it takes forever lol but I’ve tried that as well . I will be getting the gift pc back and I will be logging out of there and see if that helps

    I’m fully up to date . I just built the thing like 2 weeks ago and have been updated . Warzone loads lickity split . Just apex and gta so far with issues
  3. StonerNixon
    I’m so confused as to how this is happening and why ? Only thing I can’t think of is the port isn’t a gb port and is only like 500 mb or something . I have a gig connection and I’ve played the same games I’m trying to play now , on ps4 before , but now trying to play on pc . Gta online won’t even load . Just keeps saying timed out , yet I was playing on a shitty pc I gave away as a gift . I think the problem with gta is just because I’m still signed in on the other computer . But apex legends takes literally 5 mins every time I want to get in a game . I sit here typing this as I wait to get into a game. Ps4 would take like 2 mins tops , but I’m not joking when I say 5 mins , I stream and you can go and watch one of my streams just to see how long this actually takes. So I’ve just sorta assumed a network bottle neck . But why ? And what can I do to fix this ? Because like gta v is unplayable. And I’m not that interesting of a person , so when I stream apex there’s just allooooooot of silence.

    Ouhkay I’ll try that thank you

    Yes sorry I realized eighth after I posted I was still in servers . I have the site open on my iPhone and just keep reusing the same tab so I didn’t realize I was posting here and thought I was making a general discussion. And yes I do think I mean hdr , i haven’t been rightfully corrected yet so I just say 4K colours and normally people know why I’m talking about . The colours are just externally bright and it don’t think it hasn’t anything to do with my tv settings because without the elgato plugged in , it works fine without issue .

    Ouhkay so I’m going to have to break the 300-400 limit. What would be the recommendation for a cheaper psu ? first I think I’m going to try and complete a build with the r9 toxic cause it’s orange and I wanna try an orange build. Or I would like to use the 960 and do a build with that . I have a case that has the evga badge stuck on it so i was going to use that and see why ideas I came up with
  7. StonerNixon
    The cards I have and will be trying to power are : evga gtx 960 ( 8pin) r9 270 toxic (6 and 6 and already have this one figured out ) Galaxy gtx 660ti (8 and 6 ) asus gtx 770 (8 and 6 ) asus gtx 580 (8 and 6) and 2 asus r9 270 (6 and 6) and those will be running in SLI so I need all of those powered together in the same system lol that I might eventually buy a new psu for and just go from there

    No not mining, just independent builds . I’ve got a bunch of 500 watt silver silverstone psu and they all only have one 6 pin . I would like to get use out of them and put them into a system to sell on Craigslist . I know it’s not going to be top of the line , but I’m looking to sell a few 300-400$ set ups ( monitor keyboard and mouse ) just so people who cannot afford a top of line computer , can still game , in somewhat newer games , just at alooooot lower settings and Rez lol and with me trying to keep the price range down withen 200-300 so I can still atleast make a buck while doing so , I need to use the power supply’s I have just laying around . i only have 2 good brand name power supply’s and they are both being used for my personal rigs , gaming and streaming/editing . So I would rather not give those up .
  10. StonerNixon
    I’m not 100% sure if cases and power supply’s is the place to be . But I feel like it is I need to power a couple of 8 and 6 pin graphics cards . After browsing amazon for an hour , I can’t decide which is safe to buy . Atleast everyone one I’ve seen has one comment saying don’t buy blows up or catches fire or something crazy . So I’m coming to you guys , who seem to have all the damn knowledge in the world . Can’t share with the rest of us lol im hoping for 6+2 pin , so if I’m the future I need to power a 6 and 6 graphics card , I still can because I don’t just have a solid 8 pin . You know what I mean lol ? And also because I’m trying multiple builds (to sell) I’m trying to get packs of like 3 or 6 or something . I’ve only managed to find 2 , 3 packs and nothing more .
  11. StonerNixon
    Part of the reason I’m back to spit balling on this build , is because the person who I gifted it to lives with their mom still . No offence to their mom ... but she’s not that bright ... I put a whole in the side panel for a fan and so a graphics card could fit in it . And it’s apparently a fire hazard . So open test bench is like 100% out of the question . @IMALVIN

    Sorry about not replying guys I have been busy with another build and trying to stream as well lol I’m filling my plate with to much as is and I’ve already got the orange paint I just need black and primer , there’s a hobby shop down the street that has spray paint for 2.50 a can which is why I said paint lol it’s sorta readily available. And I know none of the cpus I have are worth actually putting any money and effort Into , I’m just trying my first actual like theme build ( that isn’t a trash theme cause that don’t count lol ) I figured older spare parts I had laying around might be easier to do it with . Other then orange I can do blue , because I have a galaxy 660 ti , it’s all “ fancy” and blue , and not being used at the moment lol so I could go from a orange build to blue , but I would I have to buy a sata to 6+2 ( I’m going to make a post about those cause I can’t decide lol ) to power that graphics card . The orange one only needs two 6 pins which I already have . I only have one power supply with 6+2 and that’s in my personal rig . I’m going to eventually try and sell this themed rig and see if I can get a bite or anything . I do also have a couple asus graphics cards as well , so red and black is also an option . I just figured red and black is everyone’s go to so I wanted to try out of the box first but if it’s too hard to find matching coloured components then I might have to take the easier way

    @wall03 I still need a orange motherboard that can accept one of the cpus I have laying around not being used . Phenom 1 and II , or core i5 4590 . DDR3 ram accepted preferably cause I’ve got loads of that . And I still need an orange fan or two and some leds . The colour of the spray paint I have is construction orange, and if you look up the r9 270 toxic you can see the exact colour orange im trying to match
  14. StonerNixon
    @wall03 sorry . Budget is like 120-160 max . I’m running rather low on funds cause I’m still out of work lol and yes I’m planning on using spray paint . I’m working on a stencil and printing it out , and I’m going to do a toxic radiation symbol and I dunno what else yet lol
  15. StonerNixon
    I’m taking a rather cheap approach and I’m painting the cables I already have black and orange. I have a sapphire r9 270 toxic edition, and that’s what sorta fuelled the thought for the build . Got the card cheap and it lights up and all that fancy jazz . So what else could I do ( on the cheaper side ) for a more custom orange build ? My main thing is a motherboard. And I’m trying to buy second hand and not brand new so that makes things a lot harder lol I can get some crappy ram covers and just paint them . The case is an older all black cooler master , and I’m going to add some orange decals and stuff. Going to try and also add some orange fans and leds

    It would be windows 7 32 bit because for some reason it dosnt like windows 10 lol it’s a Biostar mobo so that’s my main reason for not wanting to throw it out lol cpu is a pentium 4 it would be running like 2 or three graphics cards so it would be somewhat ouhkaaay but I dunno I just don’t wanna out unnecessary ware on a i5 if I don’t have to lol
  17. StonerNixon
    I have an old computer laying around I can bring myself to just throw out cause it works and it’s so old no one will buy it but lol can I pop a gpu in it and get it to mine ? It’s a 32 bit system and I already had some issues

    One of them has a Asus gtx 770 in it , and the other has Evga gtx 960

    Storage is again practically the same , 250 harddrives one is wd black caviar and the other is a barracuda 
     

     

    asus z87-a 

    core i5 4590

    12 gigs of ripjaws ram 

    just a 500 watt older silver stone power supply because ;) 

    gt 1030 that dosnt require an 6 pin power ;);) (crap specs I know ) 

    500gig wd blue 

     
     

    and then what I’m daily driving right now , is just another business model asus motherboard  honestly don’t know a hole lot about it 

    core i7 6700 

    12 gigs of ram 

    EVGA gtx 1050 ti mini 

    Corsair single rad AIO 

    intel wireless chip so I can connect by Bluetooth and wifi , and there’s space for an m.2 drive on the mobo I just don’t have one at the time .

    120 gig Kingston ssd

     

     

    the dell optiplex is what I’ve got for my son to learn from 😛 34 games and a custom background for him :3 freddie fish and Pajama Sam and all those 😛

    he has that DANK AF gold OCZ ram in there ;) 4 gigs 

    and a 250 gig harddrive 

    it’s a dell optiplex gx520 so only a core 2 duo in there but that’s plenty for him to learn lol and possibly break .

    For whatever reason my task bar is no. Existent . It’s gone . II press the windows key and 5 mins later the thing finally pops up and I have forgotten what the fuck I was trying to do . Only way the task bar shows up is like that . Other then that is does this glitchy thing in the bottom of the screen and is just not there , nothings click able and it’s like the tab is down , but I have it set to be on screen always because of this issue and that’s the only thing I can think of to fix this . It’s a piss of to restart the computer every time I want to touch the fucking task bar .

    Hey guys I’m trying to get into pc streaming cause my ps4 shit the bucket . But for some reason my elgato switches the colour to 4K colours whenever it’s plugged in , and I cannot for the life of me change it lol I’ve tried everything I could think of . During the capture itself the colours are normal , but on my tv they are 4K and I hate how 4K colour looks it’s just to bright lol not something to play apex with . So is there anyway for me to change this ? While still keeping my streaming load on a completely separate computer ?
  23. StonerNixon
    Made it sorta as a joke for a buddy and he dosnt like how ugly it looks . Tbh that was sorta the theme but he didn’t get it so fuck it

    I have a motherboard where the graphics slot is on the top of the board instead bottom . If I just flip it around the io is inside the computer and nothing touches the io shield lol so that’s not an option . Is there a case that is flipped ? So I can place things in from the right side instead of left , so the io can match up and graphics card be on the bottom lol the computer I’m trying to do this with is a an hp Compaq 6005 pro

    No it’s not just for one game and one computer . I was just giving the example that pushed me to make this conclusion lol I build computers for my friends and sell them to them, so I’m the long run it would save me a lot of download time , while I’m just trying to download quick to run a game as a benchmark sorta thing. I’ll download a game and as soon as I start to see frames drop , I mark it down , and then again when it’s completely unplayable, then the game that it unplayable (because I test a few) is my baseline , and then if the game came out in say 2015 , I won’t try and run games after 2015 on the hardware and when selling it to my friends , That’s what I can tell them .
