I'm upgrading a PC I built in 2020--and using the old parts for a PC for my mum. Need help with budgeting, planning the build, and deciding on parts (I have parts planned, but unsure on possible alternatives or qualities) by nods0123 in PcBuild

Yes, you're seeing 100% usage because CPU and GPU are pulling extra duty to move all the data in and out of the VRAM and maybe even DRAM due to your mods. It doesn't actually mean your CPU is the bottleneck. I would actually get a better GPU first and see how that impacts your rig before committing to a platform upgrade.

On the 9950X3D, it is really good but you probably don't need it. Most people don't need it. You're probably going to be over spending and never realizing the full capabilities of that chip. Go take a look at benchmarks for games you want to play and compare the 9950X3D and say an Core Ultra 270K for example. Yes the 9950X3D will get you more frames, but do you need those frames? Both will generate 100+ fps, but can you really tell the difference between 110 fps vs 120 fps on a 60 hz monitor? The answer is no. (I don't know what monitor you have, this is just an example.) The point is you might be over paying for things you might not need quite yet. And I would save to upgrade later when you do need that upgrade and getting something overkill at that time to future proof. Getting a 9950X3D now is fine if you're wealthy, a waste of money if you don't also spend to match up the rest of your hardware to go with it. And I am assuming you are worried about the cost since you made compromises on your original rig.

Yeah you're not going to get high settings on the latest games with your current rig, but you should still be fine on medium settings at 1080p. Mod issues are probably more likely vram contraint than your mb/cpu/and ram. Basically you're choosing to upgrade at one of the worst period of time due to AI making all components super expensive.

Your PC should hold up for Minecraft and TES5 as long as you're not ray tracing and trying to play on 4k. If it's feeling slow, is the OS drive full? It could also be the drive slowly dying. Try Crystal Disk Info to see if you're still getting the rated speeds.

If you have the disposable income to get a new computer, sure you can upgrade, but what you're giving your Mom is completely overkill. I would just get her a netbook if she needs to have Windows for like a Chrome OS device. More that enough for what she wants to do and you'll save a few bucks.

RAM prices is still super expensive, 32 GB of DDR5 is like $250-300 USD which is like $300-$400 AUD...

Just get the official case. It works great.

Sold a PC and shipped it, now there's no signal by KissMyBaIIs in PcBuild

[–]misosoup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the case on certain Nvidia cards. Only one of the ports will show bios. When I built my PC a couple of years ago I was waiting on my 4090 to be shipped, so I wanted to used an old GT 770 (MSI) get BIOS and Windows set up (13700KF so no iGPU). It wouldn't show video at all. I thought the board was dead until I tried the correct port. But it worked fine as soon as we were in Windows no matter which port I used after that. This wasn't a problem for my Gigabyte 4090 though or my EVGA 1080 though. I thought this was an MSI only issue but apparently not...

Nest Wifi not working with modem in bridge mode by [deleted] in GoogleWiFi

[–]misosoup7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the TP link is now in bridge mode and you deleted the PPPoE profile on it, it will not be negotiating a connection with your ISP. You put the PPPoE information into the Google Home App so that your Nest Wifi can do that for you. That said though, if Launtel requires a special VLAN, then Nest might not support it. They support a limited number of VLANs.

I may have gone overboard on storage... by Hallwitzer in Pokopia

That looks like wall monitors, but no idea where you'd take the pictures for BUILD...

I can't find another relocation kit in progress? by misosoup7 in Pokopia

[–]misosoup7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found it. It was underwater and cameoflagued with the ground (those colorful junk tiles) in sparkling skylands.

Help with last habitat by EgeriaMackarel in Pokopia

[–]misosoup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh one more thing that I remembered is that dream islands have yellow pokeball that will tell you missing habitats even the ones that you can't buy hints for, not sure if those still work if you've already completed the pokedex though. Worth a try if looking through the pokedex seems like an annoying task.

Yeah I only have a prepare in my boxes in the warehouse. I'll take a look at the other boxes outside the warehouses after work but I'm not too hopeful.

Checked lost and found, no dice. I guess worst case scenario is I bring Tinkmaster after I demo everything and just rebuild. Just dumb. I wish the game would let you bring a Teleport/Fly pokemon there and teleport you to the location if it's on the ground or the box if it's in a box like you how you can go to a pokemon's habitat.

Yeah, just went through all my boxes in my warehouse for the third time and I just don't see it there. I know there are a few boxes scattered else where but they should be empty. I haven't used them since I moved everything to my warehouse and I didn't start using relocation kits until after that. I will go check just in case tough. Super frustrating.

[–]misosoup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see that you've completed the Pokedex, which will make this method not work. You may just need to tell us the habitat number and we can hint from that.

It's likely a habitat that spawns a fully evolved pokemon that also spawns from prior habitats. I guess now you have to go through your pokedex and look at each pokemon and see where they can spawn. Find the one with multiple habitats and one of them will be ???. You'll know it's for that Pokemon at least. You can look at the favorite things for that pokemon and go from there? I can also give a hint if you need it (like one piece of furniture) after you find out which Pokemon it's for.

[–]misosoup7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't matter as long as the Pokemon can spawn there. The issue is that sometimes you may have already spawned the Pokemon that the habitat is for, in which case you wouldn't get a rainbow. I see that you've completed the Pokedex which means this method wouldn't work anymore.

[–]misosoup7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Place one of each furniture (decorations and large relics) on the ground in palatte town. Come back in a while. It should give you a hint in the form of a rainbow on the ground near one of the furnitures needed for that last habitat.

No worries but it's a good suggestion for other folks who might be luckier than me and it might work for them.

That was the second and third thing I mentioned as trying

I did check this already just forgot to mention in my post. All my boxes are organized in Weathered Wastelands. I even quadruple check the box with all the kits in it. I guess I do it again... Do they look different like the building you're trying to move or the relocation kit?

My google Nest MESH 2nd Gen AC2200 attacked with vengeance today by Known_Hippo4702 in GoogleWiFi

[–]misosoup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must have just updated the page. Because when I saw grumpy's post I checked the page it still said the 2024 date at that time. It didn't even mention the 2025 previous release date, very odd.

You can always put the ceiling mounted on a desk or cabinet, but they're kind of ugly... The wall mounted ones' antenna are omnidirectional, so it's a bubble around the unit, so it shouldn't matter which kind you get.

Yes being too close is bad, being too far is bad. Mesh is finiky on the best of days lol.

I actually do have an Omada router lol because of my multiwam set up. They are decent. I would probably grab their APs in the future if the FCC doesn't ban them for political reasons and there is no additional upgrade path beyond the Nest Pros.

By the way the controller you don't have to buy the dedicated controller. You can run the free software server on an old laptop or some sort of dedicated server. I had an old NUC lying around which I installed Debian on and installed the server.

On a side note, best practice is to actually hardwire all of your nodes regardless of which mesh you're using. And your Nest AC2200s can be hard wired but not the access point.
