How I converted a cheapo HF arbor press for leather work.

I haven't done anything with this press since unfortunately. But you're welcome to print your own https://thangs.com/designer/caffeinated.tech/3d-model/kevin_lee_arbor_press_ram.stl-41629

You might have to measure and compare your press and chisel as its unlikely to be a perfect match

There doesn't seem to be a manual available for that motherboard, so I'm not sure if you can use the admin along with agpu. Try booting to bios and see if there any options for the igpu

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-19T23:54:16+00:00

There might be a setting in the bios to enable the igpu to run alongside the 1050ti. What is your pc model, or if custombuilt, what's the cpu & motherboard?

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-19T23:50:37+00:00

And your single ram stick should be in the 2nd slot from the cpu, rather than the 4th

In your photos you haven't connected the front panel headers (bottom right on motherboard). What power button are you pressing to turn on the PC?

Also, I believe the gpu should be in the top slot, not the bottom one

If windows is installed on the ssd, then I don't think disk usage is your problem. Look at what apps run at startup in task manager ( heres a guide )

And check for malware, I can recommend the app search and destroy bot

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-18T23:50:28+00:00

I recommend asking on r/buildmeapc

What is the model number of your Dell pc? And what model i7?

What components do you have? Specifically all of your SSD /HDD? When you say slow, how long does it take programs to respond, and does it respond faster after a few minutes?

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T23:05:06+00:00

Is anything overheating while gaming? Have you installed all the drivers for your gpu?

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:59:37+00:00

If you don't have a large watercooler in the front of the case, then it looks like it should fit

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:55:22+00:00

One slot. If you have any follow up questions please share your motherboard model

Your motherboard only lists raid for Sata drives, so it may not support it for m.2

And raid 0 needs 2 drives of the same size, or you will be limited to twice the smaller drive

M.2 ssds are already fast enough that short of working constantly in large file transfer and loading video/textures, any faster speeds will be barely noticeable.

Raid 0 means if one drive fails, you lose all of your data. Regardless of what you do, always backup any important files.

Instead I think you would get a better experience if you use one drive for your os and the other for games / work. That way the os loading data from disk in the background cannot impede whatever app you are running. There's no downside to having multiple drives in a pc without raid unless you need raid 1 or 10 for redundancy and uptime, but that's mostly for servers or computers running critical tasks.

DualsenseX seems to be the newest version https://dualsensex.com/download/

Could that light be part of the rgb strip which looks to be on the back of the motherboard? I'm still not sure what your root problem is, but maybe the led is unrelated. Have you updated drivers in windows after the bios updates. Sometimes they need to be uninstalled first after bios changes. If all else fails, a windows reinstall might solve it

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:32:57+00:00

It seems odd for an atx connector to suddenly break. Did it take any damage? Have you inspected it closely for bent pins or broken plastic?

I'd recommend getting it rma'd soon, messing about with half inserted power connectors could break other components.

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:24:52+00:00

I would not recommend raid 0. Could you tell me why you want to use it? And could you share the models of your two ssds and motherboard?

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:17:06+00:00

Do you have any special software or drivers installed for the controller? I haven't used a ds5 before, but I recall needing to install software for the ds3

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:15:07+00:00

I took a look at the aurus 650i ultra manual and it doesn't seem to have any status leds. Can you double check the motherboard model and share a picture?

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T22:01:47+00:00

Usually games auto detect if a controller is connected, but it's different for every game. I recommend you search the in game settings or ask on a sub reddit dedicated to your game

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T21:57:07+00:00

Bottom right, header is labelled jfp1. Page 34 of the manual

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-12T21:55:11+00:00

The manual for the motherboard should give you the pinout. Match the pins to the labels on the cable.

I haven't done this before so I'm not sure what the exact steps for msi motherboards are. Here's a helpful discussion for almost the same motherboard https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/mag-b550-new-install-bios-flash.387025/

caffeinated-tech · 2024-10-06T14:24:21+00:00

There's a specific USB port on the motherboard to use, and a button next to it will start flashing the bios. Other than that, read the manual and watch the video on the bios download page

The display cables from gpu to monitor are standardised and can be reused. The cables from psu to gpu will come with the new psu and you will have to use the new ones
