So If You Want A Navi Series GPU I Suggest You Get One With Good Cooling

You meant to say the OG version? not the AIB?

Ouh

The 1660S Isn't That Bad Compared To The 5600 XT And It's A Lot Cheaper And I've Heard That AMD's Navi GPU's Have Overheating Issues

How cheap? and does the price difference worth it? *asking genuine question

Overheating issues? never heard of it tbh

I'd Say Go With The Ryzen 5 3600 And Get A 1660 Super Instead Of A 5600 XT

Why?

Thanks everyone!

as he said, if your budget allows it get the 3600 as it is better for multitasking and has more cores, which may be helpful as  a lot of future games will utilise more cores. but if you want a processor for gaming that will run games easily for the next 5-8 years or so, go for the 3300x

How bout the GPU? any candidate from NVIDIA?

in my opinion, the new zen+ ryzen 3 3300x will fare much better than the i5 9400. its overall one of the best bang for buck cpus out there and it is very good for gaming. it would be a killer combo if you paired it with the 5700xt.also, i think its about 10-20 USD cheaper then the i5

But hows the gaming performance on that?

I havent pay much attention to computer hardware lately, but when i ask my friend, i5 9400 + Radeon 5600/5700 XT is the way to go for $600'ish to $900 build which are mainly used for gaming and maybe some light video editing.

Is that true? or are there better alternative from AMD and Nvidia for the CPU/GPU?

Is this you shorturl.at/ahxzD

I am asking genuine question, are you even familiar with the game and the modding community?

So while waiting for my PSU to get RMA'ed, i am only left with this old 2007 Acer laptop that runs windows XP.

Lets get to the point, since i can't play modern games on it, i've tried the original Doom with Mods.

I tried Brutal Doom V21 with ZDoom and ZDL 3.2.2.2 and i can't perform the infamous fatality moves.

What i've tried:

1. Re-installing the games along with ZDoom and ZDL

2. Getting the Berserk Pack and "Give Berserk" Command via Console

3. Pressing R to alternate execution = Doesn't work at all

So when i got the berserk pack and punch the enemies, it just send them flying to the wall.

Does anyone ever had the same problem?

Did you try benchmarking the disk with and without the docking station to see if, aside from this spin up spin down, the speed is actually affected?

Which drives? the working one or the old HGST and WD? because those two cant even spin and did not get detected. as for the working one, yes i did everything and it has no issues aside from USB 3.0 limitation.

Edit: also check disk management and power settings for USB devices in your power management settings in Windows. Set both to never turn off and check if this resolve the issue.

Already did most software related thingy, sorry i didn't mention it.

The only thing that i havent try is to get another adapter. But i don't know whether its the main issue or not. I was hoping if someone had similar issue before and managed to fix it someway or somehow. But thanks for the help.

Well you're gonna lose some feature with low end motherboard and low quality vrms which is bad for OC.

But if you don't mind that, then go ahead. But make sure it has a good warranty.

For a single driver the power should not be an issue really. 24w should be way more than a harddrive will ever need.

Might be software related? The USB port for transfert might go to sleep mid-operation for some reason like power setting?

 

Or the problem are seeks, so that while the harddrive is seeking data it slows down significantly because of the usb connection 

But it happen with any PC.

When i plug in the drive, it start to spin but then it starts to slow down and start accelerating again in a loop. Strangely, some low capacity HDD and high capacity SSD work just fine.

How many hard drives do you have in the dock? They should consume about 5-9W each, and on the label on the drive there should be more specific info about it 

 

Assuming 9W, with a 12V 2A adapter (24W) you could only use two of them at their rated speed at best.

 

Does the dock get power from a USB on the PC or is it wall-plugged?

Sorry, its a single slot dockingstation.

And its wall plugged but i am not sure if its also needs power from the USB. But since it came with the wall adapter, i don't think it is.

Hi folks, ive been fan of linus and silent reader on LTT for a very long time.

I've always find the solution for my problem here but apparently not this one, that's why i create an account and hopefuly you guys can help me.

I bought this HDD Docking from Orico, it came with 12V 2.0A adapter. The problem is, it doesn't seem to have enough power to spin my old HGST dan WD Drives.

I can hear it spinning and then it stop, and it continue to spin again in a loop. And yes, its not the hard drive, the hard drives works fine if i plug it into my PC.

However, some low capacity hard drive and SSD works just fine when i plug it in the DockingStation.

Would buying another adapter with higher AMP rating will help?

Thanks in advance.
