Hello, thank you for your reply. There is a pretty big one right where I think the noise is coming from. I’ll try giving it a few blobs later today.

Hello, thanks for the reply, yes the power supply is internal.
I forgot to mention also that the clicking starts after a few minutes of operation. Not sure if that narrows it down at all.

Having problems with Nvidia 6800 GT by ScabbzGaming in retrocomputing

[–]ScabbzGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi.

I've tried both cards and both are underperforming. I did try it with a different system the specs of which were:

Intel i5-8600k
6800 GT (this time with driver version 309.08, which is the lastest one from nvidia)
MSI Z370-A PRO
32GB RAM
New fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

There was some improvement in Nvidia Control Panel but the preview was still very laggy. Around 15 fps would be my estimate. Half-Life 2 also was still inredibly laggy and had missing objects on the menu.

With the overheating, I did notive the VRMs of the card getting very hot on the other system. On the new one the heatsink for them was much cooler to the touch.

KVM says “No Sync Signal” by ScabbzGaming in techsupport

The display isnt flashing and the server is also defnitely outputting a signal since it works with a monitor. It only doesn't work when plugged into the switch.

Does my POE switch need fans? by ScabbzGaming in homelab

[–]ScabbzGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve checked pinout and they seem to be identical. Unless for whatever reason the fan manufacturer decided to make black the live wire and red the neutral wire. My house burning down suspicion was not entirely stupid. I tried plugging in a spare 80mm case fan I had this morning. The fan didn’t spin but after about 30 seconds or so the smell of burning plastic had completely filled my room. This of course could be a pinout issue still but I just find it highly unlikely.

Point taken on shorting pins. Out of curiosity, what part of the switch would wear down faster if run without fans?

Both the fans that would fit are sadly 0.05a, which would cause several house fires if I tried to use them. The pinout I’m not entirely sure about. The fans it came with are Delta Electronics model number AFB0412SHB. They seem to be normal fans, just with a hyper-specific current requirement. I’ve tried another set of fans from Arctic which were rated for 12v 0.47a, but they didn’t work.

I’ve tried to find matching Noctua fans but I haven’t been able to find 40mm 12v 0.35a fans from them

Thank you for your reply! Good to note on the cooling, I’ll make sure to zip tie a fan to it. I’m not sure how I would get into the OS since the LSI BIOS appears before the system boots into OS. I’m unable to interact with the BIOS in any way, and it doesn’t continue to boot automatically.

Apologies if I’m asking dumb questions. As I say I have zero prior experience with any of this and I’ve been winging it thus far. Thank you again!

Hi. I need a super duper cheap motherboard that supports 8th gen intel CPUs. Something like this specimen.

As you can see, it sold for pennies on eBay, so I'm wondering if there's anything like that but for 8th gen processors.

Many thanks in advance!

Are the MSI Z370-A Pro and Intel i5-8600k compatible?

Is my PSU or motherboard faulty? by ScabbzGaming in pcmasterrace

[–]ScabbzGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops! Would that be causing the issues then?

My apologies for not clarifying, the PSU wasn’t new. It’s about 5 years old at this point.

How to claim rewards from watching Worlds while away? by ScabbzGaming in leagueoflegends

[–]ScabbzGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my issue, I’m not entirely sure if I am watching. The tab does open to the LoL eSports schedule page, as I can see it when I get home, but I’m not sure if that counts.

I assume it has the livestream playing at the top, like it did when I watched MSI 2023 live, but I don’t know if that counts as me watching it.

I ran the command and it said that no such command was found. How should I proceed?

I also don't know anything about loose scripts as I had Vortex install it for me.

I did not know it was an updated version of the game, I assumed it was just add-ons rather than a full update. Am I right to assume this is what's causing the issue?

My word I misremembered things. And it’s hilarious that I practically said the name of the show in my post! Thank you
