Kek waitfags btfo again

I can't get my dual-boot Linux Mint + Windows PC to recognize a new Nvidia graphics card. I updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS and uninstalled the drivers for my old AMD graphics card, but neither of those worked. Thankfully, my CPU has integrated graphics, so I then ran lspci and DxDiag with the old and new cards, both with and without power, and with no card at all. The only results where a card was recognized were those of the old AMD card with power. This also aligns with the fact that the old card's fans spin on the GRUB and BIOS menus, but the new card's do not. Per a suggestion in a previous thread, I tried every DisplayPort and HDMI port with both OSes and the BIOS menu, but none provided a display. I also believe I have no overclocks configured. The way I see it, there are still 3 possibilities:
1. My PSU is inadequate, but this doesn't make sense to me because the new card is listed as having a "Recommended PSU Wattage" of 550W, and my PSU is labeled as 600W
2. There's something wrong with the PCI slot settings in the BIOS (or the PCI slot simply isn't compatible with the new card's bus)
3. The new card is defective
What should I try next?

Funny how they only deploy them in-house or for direct clients where they ask them to firm an NDA. ASIC's at the moment are vaporware beceause they only can do very simple parts of the inference stack which grows larger and larger and one batching error fuckes the whole agentic loop so you cant even risk anything except near 0 latency feedback loops for anything that is on production which is why no hyperscaler is projected to run anything except nvidia until AMD can get something that rivals NVLink which is why the partner with synapsis for UALink the make a wish brand version of NVLink

It's a good laptop but it's a laptop at the end of the day. If you absolutely do not want or can not get a PC you likely won't find a better laptop deal for games but keep in mind these things get fucking hot and throttled to the nth degree where that 5070 (which isn't even a real 5070) will function more like a desktop 4060 under load. Power/mobo failures are somewhat common in these kinds of laptops too.

This is kinda of retard that shilsl amd way. a console peasant

I noticed my 9800x3d runs at around 95c while playing demanding games. I remember seeing newer amd chips were made to run hot but I'm not sure this is normal. I have a phantom spirit 120 evo which supposedly is fine for this cpu. Is this the expected behavior or should I try repasting or getting another cooler?

Between Intel and AMD CPUs, which are better for CPU-intensive games like strategy ones?

>>109462715
I'm just saying this as someone who has owned gaming laptops in the past. They cannot compare with PC's and are wildly overpriced for what they deliver in terms of performance. Yes, portability is a huge thing but the use case for them is incredibly niche. If you're away from home 9 months out of the year, ok, you may have a need to get one of these and can afford to replace them completely if they fail, but if you are just taking the odd holiday here or there and simply cannot live without the odd gaming sesh then bring your console. Or just get a "business" laptop for a fraction of the price that has an integrated gpu and play some older games until you can get back to your home desktop.

This is after 10 minutes of gameplay. It starts around 84 but after a while it starts climbing up to 90, although on more demanding games like marvel rivals it reached an average of 95 while playing, I had to set all the settings to low and cap the framerate to stay under 90. I have a 9070xt and it stays under 70 at full load for comparison. I have to say that my room is very hot but still these temps seem to high for me

That's because intel decided to use their fabs to produce their CPUs instead of tsmc and the node they're gonna use won't have enough capacity until late next year. If zen 6 is good then they'll be giving AMD at least 6 months of free market dominance until their top end nova lake CPUs launch in late 2027.

>>109463547
It will be, people building new rigs will continue to be fucked but if you already have DDR5 then you'll be able to upgrade to zen6/nova lake. For GPUs they'll continue to be expensive but at least we'll get a new gen with better performance.

I'm looking for a new case for my build. I really liked my old Corsair 570X RGB but I'm passing this build off to someone else and it'd feel silly to buy a new case to put my old parts in and then use my old case for my new parts. Problem is my cat liked to jump up on top of the case. I've taken her off of it every time she does, but I can't guarantee she won't try when I am gone from the room.

The 570X had tempered glass raised above the wire mesh. Twice (but fairly long in between) when she was on the desk the dumbass got her nail stuck in the speaker's hard mesh holes until I helped wiggle them out. It'd either end badly for her or for the PC or both if she tried that on top.

It looks like the Corsair 5000X has that similar setup, but is there any others or just a case that doesn't just have the mesh out without any hard covering raised above it? Not a fan of RBG so Im not looking at corsair for that reason, and it feels over the top for my build (4070, 9800 X3D).

A motherboard is worth more than some ram, right?

>What do consumer motherboards have that is needed for AI datacenters?
Competing components meaning that when they are bidding for the raw resources they have to pay more and they pass the manufacturing cost onto us.
Unlike most industries, bidding on raw or natural resources to make chips is super common considering how high in demand they are and how low the supply is. Which means we get fucked on both ends.

Jesus Christ, I'm so glad I went for AM5 before this shitstorm. DDR5 was surely more expensive than DDR4 at that time, but at least I didn't have to pay 4x more than now. I just really hope none of my modules will die, it would be a catastrophic loss. Also not to mention my 7800 XT with 16GB VRAM. It would be so funny though if devs finally learnt how to optimize stuff, as PCs are getting limited hard.

Isn't it a bit insane none of the memory makers saw the demand coming

Like they didnt announce plans to increase supply until 6 months into the crisis or some shit
What the fuck is going on in south korea. They must've had like increasingly desperate demand from ai datacenters since 2020

>>109467219
It doesn't matter if they see it coming or not because, more critically, they don't know if the demand will still be there in 5 years time, which would be just about when the new multi billion dollar fabs would be ready to start production. This phenomenon happened before and led to multiple bankruptcies.

Gonna be getting my pc back. Just gotta get it checked for a few more things hardware wise. Might just be monitor failure and different repair “experts” said different things. One said gpu is fried and another suspects the psu might be busted. And the gpus are fine.
How do you transport a full tower pc to a shop for a full hardware inspection safely with a taxi? I’m thinking of a big box and lots of padding but I’m unsure.

I want to use an old hard drive I have as temp storage while I do a clean os install on my main ssd, and then transfer things back over

it still has an old windows install on it which I don't need. should I wipe it first or is that a waste of time? I have enough space for what I'm doing

>>109467246
This is happening like years after nvidia market cap was raised by trillions from ai demand.

Like, the signal to invest into new fabs has to be overwhelming no? Like nvidia could fund 10x new fabs without breaking a sweat. USA government was talking about half a trillion ai investment years ago.

>>109467219
They did increase supply but that supply is going to soldered ram.

>>109467343

What sort of temperature differences can one expect from the same hardware in a typical mid tower case vs an M-Atx case say like the fractal meshify or north (non-XL) vs a lian Li A3?
9070xt and a 9800x3d with a 360AIO and MSI B850MPOWER matx board. Will be using for productivity also so im concerned a smaller case will be too loud and won't have enough air volume for good thermals, but I want it to be semi transportable. My current PC has a custom loop with 960mm of radiator space and a gazillion fans so core/gpu hotspot never gets above 50c and its quiet but its a 115 liter case. I've never used air cooling or an aio before in my life so I don't know what to expect

What's the thoughts on the cooler master masterframe 400? (Its available where I live) I like how it has more cable room behind the MB, fits thicker radiators and has more space for thicker fans below the GPU than the A3. Its 44L due to its width has no ATX support though

GPUs are going to suffer, an A3 is going to have only 1 intake fan, realistically. Bottom intake fans create turbulence that fuck with the GPU's cooling. I think an AP201 is going to have better thermals on the GPU with bottom intake fans, that little extra height makes a difference.

>>109469575
right now. just wait.

should i just build the literal cheapest gaming pc I can that is actually good and get off my m3 macbook pro? i bet if i bought shit used i could pull it off

>>109469836
I can probably clean pins on my 5900x same on aorus elite x570 mobo socket. but that chipset fan is kill. Also I am returning that gskill kit for 265 eurobucks.

>>109469840
yea, that b850 looks like a steal. sadly almost zero mobos with 6satas.

>>109470257
What do you need a macbook for? Browsing instagram photos at Starbucks?

>>109470288
i bought it for runescape but i forgot i wanted to play dark souls

>>109470288
i do love mine air m4, light, good battery life.
used mostly as thin client

When you finally stop supporting nvidia and start supporting AMD that actually cares for gamers https://wccftech.com/amd-opening-keynote-ifa-2026-jack-huynh/

>is it a 5000s Nvidia card?
Yes
>if yes then you vill need to update your kernel (sudo upgrade)
Do I need to do something beyond just the built-in Update Manager?
Anyway like I said it isn't showing up on Windows either so I'm not sure Linux is the problem.

>>109464286
For $550 USD? Go for it.

Do consider getting a second SSD.

>>109469774
99% of modern thermal pastes are non-conductive. You could slather the socket in paste and it would still work fine. Just scrub it with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol if you're so concerned.
AM5 is LGA so good luck cleaning paste that gets in there lmao.

>>109470655
Where's that old meme webm where thermal paste is spread all over the socket...

put together the ultimate budget rig, all motivation fades to buy it because i realize it's needless consumption.

laptops always win.

>>109470785
Word, a laptop plays theme hospital and age of empires 2. Let me guess, you need more.

>>109470831
Yeah.
Sim City 4.

>>109470655
I would say I can place it vertically and just soak it with isopropyl alcohol until everything flows away.

put just pulled trigger, 64gigs 6KHz cl30, 9850x3d and that tomahawk b850

>>109470360
Closer to whenever RDNA5 plans to reveal (you know they're coordinating this shit between each other), and I'm not holding my breath. Even lower chance they go straight to next gen. More likely, Spark will get some form of showcase or "update" showing how it's just Perfect™ for goymers. A 60XX series is still a couple years off, and a general consumer denomination simply isn't probable.

>>109470844
I hope you have a proper cooler cause the 9850X3D runs a lot hotter than the 9800X3D

>>109470878
got dark rock pro 4, but hate mounting it. Sticking screwdriver through those top little holes and and precisely hitting screwholes is nightmare. Maybe thats why was there so much paste around a socket.

>>109470907
did you check if you have the clearance for it on the new motherboard with the RAM?

id buy the rtx spark if it wasnt $2500

imagine if that shit was like $300 that'd be crazy

>>109470831
I do have a proper sim racing rig with VR. its needs that power to no throw up.

>>109470922
I cant see the 128 unified ram model being that cheap, its gonna be at least $4000

>>109470785
>it's needless consumption.
out earn more money so frivilous spending out earns poverty cope, if a top end pc didnt make a dent in your shit you wouldnt have this rationalized cope around it, very simple

>laptops always win.
my keyboard breaking on my laptop is triggering now i hate using a full size shit and i cant even game like nomral due to muscle memory
other than that its been ok but loud as fuck before and shit performance but if all you do is old shit it works yes

>it's needless consumption.
know what isnt needless consumption? a 77" oled

>>109470918
didn't need to, had those fancy gskill. those are around 10mms taller than those kingstons I've ordered now.

>>109470958
soulless and u know it. if ur happy it doesnt matter tho

>buy oled
>clean screen once
>permanently fucked up (cant see it when its on at least)

Why can't I just kill myself?

>>109471002
did you use steel wool to clean it?

>>109470981
screen is a better buy than building a desktop
if you have a laptop you can have various levels of notorious shit screens which makes it all the worse
i fuckin loathe my shit screen
its not "soul"
its just fucking poverty man
poverty is not soul

i am a temporarily embarassed millionaire and I wont be staying with you poorfags forever, in fact i intend on leaving as soon as i fucking can and i am NOT going back

>>109471002
I never was retarded of fucking it up to this extent, is it actually AR coating wiped off or is it just fat smudges smeared around?

cool down screen completely off clean with something wet, wipe dry again, turn on and see if u havent fucked it now

Its not my fault this piece of shit technology is so fragile, they shouldn't make something that breaks so easily.
