    How about when transcoding from h265 to h264 for endpoint devices that don't support h265? I have a bunch of old firesticks that can't do h265 direct play locally. Instead of replacing all my media consumption points I would rather just have a GPU capable of transcoding the streams. Is this logic flawed? Input would be appreciated.

    Id rethink ur budgeting on a PSU especially if you have any intention on upgrading in the mid term with RTX 3000 being so power hungry

    Set your network as a metered connection in Internet Options for windows and it wont download or install updates until you tell it too

    Id go with a Microsoft Surface if you want a decent note taking experience.

    Upper year CS major here. I'd say start with whatever you feel comfortable with. Some will say you have to start with Big Java: Early Objects and read every word, others will say you must start with C/C++ or python if they're more lax. Personally, I think all you really need is a project to keep you motivated to learn. Whether it be a website for yourself to display your resume and achievements, a simple game that you create, or just an everyday utility tool that you have found a use case for. Stay motivated! And use a project you are interested in to facilitate your learning.

    Great stuff! I always like this guide for setting up a new build:

    @PokemonButcher That is great news and I hope massive relief! Now you should shift gears and see if u can get into BIOS via ur GPUs display out. Then to address the boot error make sure ur storage drive(HDD, SSD, NVME?) is showing up in BIOS, u may have to dig around a bit. If so, then move on to installing ur OS via a bootable USB or the like.

    Given the runs were made in 2000 it is very likely cat 5 non e was used.

    Hey just remember to quote me in the update so i get notified if you ask follow up questions By boot cycle i mean does the motherboard leds and cpu fans turn on normally then shut off then start up again as if the computer restarted itself? For sure start off with reseating the ram and stuff first tho. Also make sure ur air cooler fan plugged into the cpu fan header so ur motherboard is happy. There is lots you can do and the best of us run into a no post situation at some point. Asus has a decent support page that might be worth checking out as a follow up. In particular this page about no display out troubleshooting https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1042632#3

    ive have terrible experiences like this with mirco-b connectors on my external hdd's. Does the connector look like this

    There is for sure an issue with the boot cycle you are describing but it shouldnt be a big deal. I would recommend you make a fresh bootable usb using the windows 10 media tool(lots of tuts out there) found here https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 . Once you make the usb go in the bios and boot off that to enter the installation. I also recommend once prompted to pick the drive you want to install on you delete any existing partitions from the previous install attempt (be careful here if you have any existing data attached to the pc you dont want to lose).

    Lots of ways to go about this and its great you took the GPU out for troubleshooting to focus your issue further. Some things to consider: Does it boot cycle? Are you getting any error code on the motherboard? You can also try to reseat the ram maybe, even use alternative slots(maybe theres a dead slot) or use only 1 ram stick(again narrow the focus). Also reseating the CPU may fix the issue.
  13. TrueTaylor
    Yes. But out side of the motherboard what are you plans for upgrading other components? Are you planning on grabbing next gen ryzen chips right away? Are you a heavy overclocker? Are you familiar with BIOS Flashing? These are things to consider and depending on the circumstances getting another B450 might make more sense.

    TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!..... Oh wait ISP's have a monopoly and dgaf
  15. TrueTaylor
    What is your time frame for upgrading? A good B450 should support the sparse upgrader's needs very well with your build.
