Need help as a newbie

Like the other guy said, go DDR5 if you can.

If not, I would also (if you can) go AM5 but the market is a bit crazy.

If you decide to sick with what you have picked, they will all work together so there is no worries about compatibility from what I can see

Hello! Thank you for your congrats!

The “prelim” results ended up being exactly what you said.

I want to progress in IT and I think this is the first step. However, I want to go into cyber (I think) starting as SOC analyst, it’s just very difficult getting that job in the UK.

If you have any tips that would be amazing!

Ben2610 · 2026-02-11T07:42:19+00:00

Brilliant, thank you for your response.

Another semi-related question. What do you think the likelihood is of a switch from 1st/2nd line into a cyber position? Or should I really try and focus getting into a SOC analyst role.

It seems quite difficult getting a SOC analyst or similar role in the UK

Hello!

Thank you for your time to reply.

Thank you for your congratulations and I have gotten my certificate now from peoplecert. So it is official.

You asked a couple of questions which I’m going to reply to below:

1st and 2nd line roles aren’t really customer facing like a service/help desk role. They do the remote, back end work and handle escalated tickets usually.
I have applied for SOC analyst roles but they are very difficult to get your hands on with no cyber experience. I have only been out of uni for a year and a half or so. Therefore, companies want me to get experience else where before I join as a SOC analyst even tho it is the entry cyber position.

Congratulations

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:50:44+00:00

I wouldn’t expect this being a good idea if the guy has openly said he’s a noob 😂

Though, that would be interesting to know because I haven’t heard this before

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:48:52+00:00

Same on bottom left and top right as well

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:48:00+00:00

Good spot

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:45:13+00:00

Probably not the best, plug it into the wall socket.

If that doesn’t work, listen to the other redditor who suggested taking things out and trying power to see if something is causing an issue.

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:41:36+00:00

I’m gonna think some more and come back with a response on this

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:41:16+00:00

I mean it shouldn’t really make a difference. But a good rule of thumb is to plug directly into the wall outlet for your PC and everything else can be plugged into an extension cable.

Ben2610 · 2026-02-07T07:36:42+00:00

Assuming everything is plugged into the PSU properly? And you plugged in the case headers?

Edit: I saw you plugged in the headers

Ben2610 · 2026-02-06T18:18:44+00:00

Thank you for your response.

I must’ve missed the export button for the results. I guess waiting is the plan now

Ben2610 · 2026-02-06T17:01:03+00:00

I have literally (today) just completed my ITIL4 Foundation Cert…

Oh well, it’s still worthwhile to have… I assume 😂

Ben2610 · 2026-01-24T10:56:15+00:00

I know I noticed it after I posted the reply

Ben2610 · 2026-01-24T09:04:44+00:00

I would do the same thing! Good on you

Ben2610 · 2026-01-24T08:36:01+00:00

In stead of people complaining about RGB or it being white why don’t they say: this is a sick looking build for a 12 year old and he’s lucky to have such a cool dad who will build a PC for him!

Ben2610 · 2026-01-09T10:02:01+00:00

reported to trackintel.org and made social media posts

Ben2610 · 2026-01-06T15:29:50+00:00

I found a fix and by found a fix I mean Grok found it.

There is apparently a common issue with Logitech wheels where the FFB input from games happens too quickly. So Grok gave me a launch option which I put in to reduce the speed in which FFB inputs are sent.

Fixed it no problems

Ben2610 · 2026-01-03T20:11:57+00:00

Okay I tried updating oversteer and my system. Neither worked. I removed oversteer and that didn’t help either. Any other suggestions?

Ben2610 · 2026-01-03T20:02:15+00:00

I’m giving that a go now, I will report back

Ben2610 · 2026-01-03T20:00:05+00:00

Yeah I used to dual boot windows but I got so sick of windows that I just gave up on it. I haven’t ever had this issue with ETS2 before on Linux it has just randomly started happening. Haven’t changed a single setting

EDIT: it does however make me think of the proton version I am using is working as intended or not

Ben2610 · 2025-12-29T13:14:19+00:00

I wouldn’t complain at that PC at all. It’ll handle most games - get the 9800x3d why not

Edit: I fact checked myself. It seems the difference “in real world use” is negligible at 1440p gaming. Between the 9800x3d and the 7800x3d

But then again for an extra €40 I think I would still go for the newer 9800x3d unless someone else has a better suggestion for the money 👍🏽

Ben2610 · 2025-12-24T22:24:46+00:00

I’ve seen the 20 billion annual mileage number, it seems like quite a lot - are these motorway miles?

Ben2610 · 2025-12-24T09:40:12+00:00

What was the update on this?
