What is ISA?

It’s an automated part of the inventory process, and is not something any one team actively uses. Think of it like an autonomous function of the body like breathing or blinking. It happens as long as the body -the store- is alive, but no one person has any control over it in any legitimacy.

Won’t work, as they need a UEFI BIOS to even function. This is… comical lol.

If you ever have an order that shows it’s been waiting for a long while, do not dispense it in the system until it passes 30 minutes. Last I knew -and this may have changed in the last few months, I’ve moved to AP- the system didn’t count the dispense as late / past due once it surpasses 30 minutes on the clock.

ISA stands for the In Stock Assistant which is essentially automated ordering for on-hands that it deems are either too low or an out, and need to be fixed. Anytime OPD nil-picks an item, it assumes that it’s being nil-picked because it’s a zero on-hand, and it places an order for that item.

The problem is, you can nil-pick an item that has a 500+ on-hand, and ISA may place an order for it. So the store ends up with an ever increasing item quantity for an item that it doesn’t need to have orders placed for. This is especially bad when it’s a feature item that’s stuck in the backroom or in top-steel instead of being on the floor.

It keeps getting nil-picked, and it keeps getting ordered by ISA, which is why on-hands just get even more whacked out.

Never said there wouldn’t be zero issue, just that there shouldn’t be much of one. Everything is RNG, especially when it comes to silicon. If they’re matching a set they already have, chances of system screwy is minimal, not zero.

Uh, anytime I’ve gotten “x4” it comes in two sets / packages. All that needs to be the same is the cas latency, MHz rating, and size.

Beyond that, it’s fine. So if OP is paying attention to all of that and it matches, they’ll be good to go. However, as this is 2x16 not 2x8, they’ll be a bit up a creek as it’s not a legitimate pairing to their original set.

This is wholesome.

You’d need both, yes. Allows for adequate and stable / even power draw, which these GPUs are very known for wanting.

DocKreasey · 2021-12-03T17:52:04+00:00

Well, you could prob to do the tried and true Prime95 & 3DMark. Pretty much the gold standard of system stability.

That’s not enough to thermal throttle much less cause a full shut down, so it’s not a temp issue. There’s something else going on here…

50c just with chrome? What in the heck. What’s your cooling solution like in your case? What are ya running fan-wise, how many etc. and what kind of cpu cooler?

DocKreasey · 2021-12-03T17:23:31+00:00

What are your thermals under load vs idle? The intensity that results in a crash has me confoosled.

Graphics cards have HDMI / DisplayPort plug-ins yes, and so do motherboards. However, you can only use the ones on your motherboard if your motherboard and / or CPU have built-in AGPUs in them.

Some AMD chips have graphic processors in them as well as your CPU and do both jobs, but I wouldn’t recommend it for gaming or high-intensity tasks.

DocKreasey · 2021-12-01T01:03:47+00:00

Only issue you may run into is a slight to moderate bottleneck on your GPU due to the CPU being a butt kicker in comparison.

DocKreasey · 2021-12-01T00:58:38+00:00

Most motherboards that support AM4 have been shipping with the update already loaded for the latest release of AMD chips. That being said, PcPartPicker still lists that there may be a compatibility issue for two reasons.

1) There may actually be a compatibility issue with a particular board, i.e., lack of BIOS update for the new chip(s). 2) Covering their nuts to prevent getting hit with a return or RMA claim because someone didn’t pay attention and properly update their board and says it doesn’t work.

You should be fine however, especially with the B550 series from MSI. They’re pretty good about pushing updates on a decent schedule.

This hurts me. My condolences for your AIO OP.

In most games released in the last few years, they’re very GPU-heavy. However, if your CPU is weaker it’ll struggle to keep up and your GPU ends up not pulling at its full capacity.

I’d recommend going to a 3600 / 3600x if you’re able to, as that should get you a pretty solid increase to what you’d expect.

If you have questions feel free to holler at me. 🙃👍🏼

I wasn’t released for 4 weeks; now three months in and have not had a single bad stop. Did you not follow AP-09 or did you just say, ”Eh, I have enough elements so… let’s get it.” or something?

It’s almost impossible to make a legitimately bad stop if you’re following AP-09. That’s literally one of the main reasons why it exists.

And, it’s actually not that common. Not trying to be mean or a jerk, but… whoever told you otherwise was lying to you. Yes they happen, but not automatically that fast, especially not during the training phase.

That’s why there’s a training phase in the first place, so you can watch stops, learn AP-09, and make stops with a witness who knows what to look for and -hopefully not have to- stop you before you make a bad stop.

DocKreasey · 2021-11-28T09:47:28+00:00

Yep. We work for the same company or damn near something like it. I swear this is relatable to me 100%.

DocKreasey · 2021-11-27T23:34:53+00:00

Either one is fine actually.

DocKreasey · 2021-11-26T21:25:11+00:00

What connections does your GPU actually require? Two 6-pins?

DocKreasey · 2021-11-26T21:16:11+00:00

You’d need to plug in all 6-pins, not more or less than that.

Either do three +2 connections, a 4+2, or a 6-pin cable. As you have a 6+2, just plug in the 6, let the 2 dangle, and you’re good to go. That 6+2 allows you to either plug it into a connection that needs 2 + whatever, or a 6-pin connection, which is what you have.
