What's your latest tech purchase?

Not even enabled that, I guess it's not really worth if all you get is some stats.

Also, I was expecting some kind of UV thing for the bed, not something that looks like a strange sex toy...

Mine has the UV doodad in the tower, so it kills whatever would grow in the sucky bag

So that's the technical term for that.

If you have 4 ranks of RAM you'll need to raise the SoC slightly, if you have 8 ranks... well, 3200 might be the limit.

Depending which chip that is of the ones you've mentioned, i can give advice on a voltage to try - i've got 64GB with 4 ranks at 3800 on Zen3, so there is hope.

I'm honestly not sure what they are, but I'm going to guess that they are 8 ranks... It's not the best RAM in the world but then for £200 for 64GB, I'm not going to expect it

The CPU I have is a 5950X, both that and the 3950X are in X570 Crosshair 8 boards, so I hope I have a chance in getting things to work lol

Viper Steel is the RAM I'm using, I'll put a link here for you!

Heres a typhoon pic for the 8pack ram i got-

80-watt Hamster · Dec 11, 2021

New stuff in that jumble:

10700K, 11600K, Z170-A PRO, 16GB Crucial 3200, and Core GM-550 (1 of 3; killer deal and I like spares). i7 won't POST consistently, though. Board's a refurb, but since the i5 works fine, I'm not sure which is bad. Don't have another board to test it in, either.

Was that with an OC? If it was, very likely it's because of CPU load line calibration being disabled. For me, forgetting about CPU load line calibration, resulted in me having to retry to boot. (on a Core 2 Duo, I think that happened with my E4500. (65nm) ) I'm believing that's not with an OC. Correct?

Yes well dust sucker bag (dammsugarpåse) is a mouthful.

Deleted member 24505 · Dec 11, 2021

well the 8pack ram is doing 3800 1t at nice timings

GamerGuy · Dec 12, 2021

Not exactly tech, but sorta since it's motorized to raise and lower the desk top, took me a while to assemble the sucker. I had gotten the smallest version - Omnidesk Pro 2020 48" - since I'd be some space constraint, and as you can see from the pic, it is a pretty tight squeeze....the control panel to raise and lower the desk is on the lower left side of the desk, a little below the steering wheel. I believe I can set four memory preset heights for easy adjustment.

Some boards/chips vary, but basically try between 1.05V and 1.15V - some rare few are unstable at higher voltages but stable at lower ones
1.125V is common for a lot of people apparently, mines at 1.131V for 3800Mhz

What's that crap on your headphone pads?

Hair nets obviously. You'll see when you get older, ear hair is a real problem...

GamerGuy · Dec 12, 2021

Chomiq said:

It's a sort of dust cover, to prevent dust from settling within the cups, basically to keep the inside of the earpads clear of dust. I do like that hairnet theory, it was a hoot! :roll:

Edit - Come to think of it, what TLS had said does make some sorta sense.....

100% CMOS defaults. I'll probably try to RMA it and see if the replacement works. On a second installation attempt it wouldn't POST at all, so couldn't change settings even if I wanted to.

Massive thanks, I'll give it a go.. I guess I was being a little too conservative with volts then

Trying to get to understand the CPU speed at the moment, but I'll work on that later

(And another thread!!

Ear hair, nose hair (both interior and exterior) and fat gathering in the spot just above your genitals, also when you pee you realize that it's not all done coming out when you stop. Seriously I had no idea these were things until I started to get a little older.

I don't get much body hair. Am I in the safezone? lol

My father had a similar problem and the doc suggested taking a seat whilst urinating which helps to empty the bladder. I was dropping a couple of drops worth too. The seating release solved that issue but I can't lie i still frequently stand and spray the bowl (just lazy)

EDIT: i get the feeling the "What's your latest tech purchase" OP is gonna give us a pasting

Yeah maybe should stop posting the off topic stuff or you'll get a slap off a mod

I had to buy more distilled water for my rig, i saw the CPU temp spiking to 80C for very brief periods and was all... why?

Looked closer, found freakin debris in the fins again

Partially drained the loop til the water level was below the CPU block, plugged the rest of loop up and left the CPU block staring at me with it's dead, empty eye sockets... and stuck a little cleaning brush in there to loosen the crap, before attaching hoses and pouring water through it backwards to flush it out

This is the filter i used to catch what was coming out, had a few blue chunks and one or two pieces of unknown origin

maxfly · Dec 13, 2021

Is the cap of the distilled jug blue by chance?

Kovoet · Dec 13, 2021

I thought I would give this a try

clear, i have blue coolant dye so somethings come loose, got stuck in the CPU block fins and went to flavour town
