I am trying to cut his costs and not make some mistakes
he will be gaming and doing workstation stuff
the 13600k is good enough for both
amd is only top tier rn in games

Oh Gdi

all im doing is minmaxing though but
I believe in getting stuff right for such an expensive build

How do u check VRMs?
the tl;dr I could find about that motherboard is that the vrm is good but the on-board audio chip is bad
the one you have on your cart
royal forge
Ah
ok. lemme settle the PSU first
I think a thermaltake should be a good brand right
dull garnet
I wouldn't buy it
royal forge
then can you recommend one?
real edge
I wouldn't buy it
we're looking for an atx 3.0 compliant one
personally I use this https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ for my psu stuff
but I have had the same psu for 6 years now
back then I bought an expensive one and I did not know much
its a 750w HXi platinum
hard drift
but it doesn't really show which is ATX 3.0 tho
there aren't many atx 3.0 yet
royal forge
ye
hard drift
you can count the atx 3.0 psus currently out on one hand
real edge
personally with a high power build I would either
dull garnet
evga corsair or seasonic but really you need to look into it on a per product basis
real edge
get a 1000w-1200w old psu or a 850w atx 3.0 one
royal forge
theres no evga PSUs that are 3.0 OR 1000w
neither are there corsair or seasonic 3.0 ones
dull garnet
Forget 3.0 basically
hard drift
msi gigabyte silverstone and thermaltake
those are the 3.0 psus that i know of
seasonic said december for their psus
royal forge
There's a Corsair RM1000x which costs 898
but i can get a thermaltake 1000w for cheaper
and it's atx 3.0
dull garnet
Compare warranty periods
royal forge
all about the same
umbral moss
the tl;dr I could find about that motherboard is that the vrm is good but the on...
don't worry about onboard audio, honestly
you can use HDMI out from your GPU to drive a soundbar 
royal forge
Shit, i can grab a GIGABYTE UD1000GM for 795
hard drift
you can use HDMI out from your GPU to drive a soundbar <:pogianger:7456948288256...
that's what i do 
royal forge
which is ALSO atx 3.0 ready
umbral moss
that's what i do <:dorime:880516109701365820>
same
every audio solution I've tried has turned into crackling hell using RCA jacks
so I switched to HDMI and it works fine
hard drift
🙏
real edge
gigabyte psus are hell
check warranty periods basically
if you want the thermaltake one then you can get it with a solid warranty, but there is little information on it out atm
dull garnet
@bitter girder my life is fucked
royal forge
Because, on the PSU review page
Both the gigabyte and the thermaltake are listed as midtier
dull garnet
I walked so far too 
hard drift
I walked so far too <:yikes:672525441906507776>
royal forge
@real edge if the ATX 3.0 ones are really that worth it, i'll just pick up a thermaltake
umbral moss
maybe hank can afford this if he sells his truck
royal forge
rather than just, i dunoe, the corsair 1000
it's on the high tier
but if ATX 3.0 can be better for the power spikes, i'd get a 850 one
real edge
how many years warranty is the thermaltake one
royal forge
10 years
real edge
good, what type?
royal forge
manufacturer warranty
bitter girder
<@183599132231860224> my life is fucked
NOOOOOOOOO
real edge
manufacturer warranty
thermaltake is not a brand I trust but
different markets have different prices
overall no matter what psu you get its kind of a gamble
but the basic thing is a good, solid warranty
dull garnet
Thursday ruined
real edge
if the warranty is 10 years and customer support is good then you can buy it
does thermaltake have customer support for SEA folk?
royal forge
cuz, i legit am stumped on my PSU choice
i see thermaltake gf3 still fairly new
so who knows how good/bad it is
they have an official store here
real edge
if they have an official store and their support is good
then you can buy it while assured that you can RMA it if it goes bad or shows problems

I emailed my company's IT guy back in july to pull all the windows 7 PCs off the network because A) they're trash and B) it's been years since they got a security update

umbral moss
you don't need to agonize over it like you're going to mars
you can just order a replacement if your PSU is garbo lmao
aside from the really shit units, the only thing that will die is the PSU itself
or you'll end up like icehunter chasing obscure horseshit problems with +12V load leveling
real edge

if your psu is garbage and within warranty I am sure you can send it back for a refund as well, right?
modest moss
Aoi does not have the best consumer rights
umbral moss
I mean, if he spends $80 on a PSU that's well within "acceptable gamble" territory
if it works, great
if not, it wasn't that expensive
royal forge
it's not $80
dull garnet
He said the corsair was like 12.5% more
umbral moss
you said $90 euro, so about $90 USD?
umbral moss
$180 is dab in the middle of reasonable PSU territory if you're looking for 1000-ish W
royal forge
the corsair RMx 1000 is 220
umbral moss
personally, I'd go for the AX series just to guarantee I got a decent unit
but the AX line is very expensive 
royal forge
the CORSAIR RM 850 is 153

also keep in mind that whilst Aoi is a doctor, they get paid a shitload less than a US doctor, so caution is sensible

unless you're a world-famous doctor, you're getting paid less than what icehunter makes to do a significantly more stressful job
modest moss
US doctors also get paid shit, don't believe the hype
average us doctor salary is 200k+ apparently, Aoi mentioned getting less than 10% of that
he ain't rich

they had a giant ass curved one at Best Buy it does look amazing
but was like 4k I think

yep
well it was like pretty curved but think that is it? Samsung pretty sure

4k is fineee, you merely need a 4090

the F is better

I'm also having a blast with the fact that a windows 7 machine got compromised and took out my company's network
good thing we didn't want to pay to upgrade those ancient bullshit workstations
I'm sure the wasted day and emergency contractor cost was less than the cost of 100 new workstations
hard drift
the non F @tame fulcrum consumes more idle power while on and weighs a little over 2 pounds more
plus the F version comes with cable management if you care about that
also has 2 display port rather than just 1
dreamy chasm
half decent pcie4 risers are expensive as shit
hard drift
yup
plus ice, you're saving more on the F version since you don't have to pay for the gsync model in the monitor
there's literally so many upsides to the F version lol
going the non F would be dumb and we'd judge you hard
hard drift
so there's two monitors with the same model year?
F for freesync i guess lol
umbral moss
gsync is like goddamn magic but it does add extra cost to the module
hard drift
except it's much more than that
dull garnet
isn't there different grades of g-sync too
dull garnet
i assume i have the dishwater version
hard drift
umbral moss
does anything even have g-sync ultimate?
hard drift
does anything even have g-sync ultimate?
the alienware does yes
along with quite a few expensive older monitors
umbral moss
one whole monitor in an annoying aspect ratio
hard drift
the reasoning people think for the hdr changes is purely because of OLED not hitting 1000 nits constantly or whatever
also things could have gsync ultimate certification and not be vesa certified
so it was very confusing
dull garnet
damn i am only gsync compatible
umbral moss
I mean, nothing can really hit 1000+ nits
dull garnet
umbral moss
it's one of those things that they claim but even HDR1000 displays only get to like 850-ish
did you actually measure it with a lux meter?
who would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
dull garnet
its like believing an amd press conference
umbral moss
I knock off 50% of any quoted manufacturer spec regarding brightness, contrast ratio, or gy-gy speed
because they do it in a dumb way or under very specific conditions
1000+ nits through an LCD polarizer film requires a pretty substantial boost in backlight intensity
plus really good polarization extinction, which IPS isn't known for

3060 still selling for $380-400
bitter girder
Weird
umbral moss
I just wanted to put together something small and portable
there's that 3070 micro card but that's also dummy expensive because of how small it is
umbral moss
why not a laptop?
a "gaming" laptop is about 35-40% of the performance of a desktop and costs twice as much
as soon as you change a laptop's designation from "consumer" to "gamer" it costs twice as much because adding RGB LEDs and obnoxious logos makes the laptop twice as expensive to produce I guess
dreamy chasm
Pricing on laptops is better these days
They just use downclocked desktop chips, it's just cooling that's an issue for a lot of skus
umbral moss
like, you can build a micro PC with like, an ITX board and 3070 mini for $800-ish and it'll shit all over a $1600 XXXTREME GAMEN laptop
TDP limits are what get you, you need to make sure the GPU in the laptop is the high-power variant and not the high efficiency sku
dreamy chasm
You'd have to pay for a portable monitor, and bring around all the peripherals you need
umbral moss
which means you need to go find the stupid ass decoder ring and figure out what the PN means
I have a wireless 75% keyboard and a spare g900 mouse
¯_(ツ)_/¯
don't need a ten key pad for video games
dreamy chasm
800 for a half decent itx rig with a 3070 also seems like a stretch
Unless you're repurposing old parts
dull garnet
when a 3070 is like $500, yeah
half decent sfx psu and itx motherboard will be another $200 at least
dreamy chasm
A half decent itx case is going to run you a hundo
And a portable monitor that isn't completely awful is going to run you 200 at least
dull garnet
its a stupid comparison
dreamy chasm
it's dumb
You probably can build a reasonable itx system for under a thousand
But, be realistic about it
6600xt/5600x
umbral moss
I'll take $1000-1200 for a fairly average system
I don't expect a $799 XXXTREME GAMEN laptop to be comparable though
dreamy chasm
Of course it isn't, a laptop is actually going to be reasonably portable lol
BTW, my arias are here 
@potent arrow
umbral moss
Of course it isn't, a laptop is actually going to be reasonably portable lol
I mean, I don't expect to play games on the train, which is the only time I'd be gaming anyway
I just wanted something small so I could easily transport it to my girlfriend's apartment
dreamy chasm
Fair enough
I'm just saying, just because a gaming laptop isn't for you doesn't mean the concept of one itself is stupid
dreamy chasm
alright
umbral moss
my girlfriend was like "just get a gaming laptop" but you're paying the mobility tax for something that's going to largely sit on a desk in her apartment
dreamy chasm
Get an itx board with a USB c connection if you're planning on going the portable monitor route
Unless you're fine lugging around an extra power adapter
umbral moss
I mean, the only reason it would be moved again is if she moved or we broke up
so it's not a big deal to just dump all the peripheral bobbins on a desk and never think about it again
that's why I prefer a desktop, the parts are cheaper and you get a lot more performance for the dollar
if anything I could just use that commodore 64 chassis I bought and have a true all in one
potent arrow
Atleast here, sff dollar to perf is a bit iffy. PSU/Mobo/Case alone is 700-900$ Cad
CPU and GPU will be another 700-1000$ ._.
umbral moss
Atleast here, sff dollar to perf is a bit iffy. PSU/Mobo/Case alone is 700-900$ ...
I thought the itx boards used regular supplies still?
do you need a different connector?
umbral moss
don't need to run a 4090 on an itx lmao
at that point it's probably more efficient to just use an ATX supply and mod a +5V/+12V adapter to the 24-pin
why lmao
you can run the 4090 off the nearly uncontested PSU and the vestigial CPU off the side rails
functionally how consoles are designed anyway
the GPU gets nearly all the power budget and the CPU is just along for the ride

I have a feeling we're seeing a drawdown in supplies for ATX 2.0 PSUs but the 3.0 aren't widely available yet
So moving to 3.0 having overlap with 40 series driving new PSU purchases probably has supplies drying up

I think you are right on that
It's kinda .____.

I know thermal take and lianli have sfx 3.0 psus

yea I'd rather have 2 cables than proprietary crap

will the 3080ti do what you want
is the power consumption a big deal
idk what you pay for electricity etc

The $1,000 isn't a gaming chair; it's one of those super fancy ergo chairs. Like it is built to force you sit up straight and prevent you from slouching and stuff.

i mean what settings are you using for raytracing?
if you're using rtx it's nvidia only and will cause issues trying to run it on amd
burnt swallow
Just whatever raytracing settings are in Cold War
Nothing on the GPU itself
And it's only having raytracing enabled in Cold War that causes the gpu driver crash
hard drift
it could be because it's RTX
burnt swallow
But Cold War is also dogshit on PC anyways because it still randomly crashes anyways but without the gpu driver crash
hard drift
RTX is nvidia proprietary raytracing
i don't have cold war installed to test it so i couldn't tell you if it's just the game or your pc
burnt swallow
I think it's the game but I don't have or play any other AAA title
Sniper Elite V I haven't tried yet so I don't know if it has raytracing

Google gave me the answer that very little exists at 1080p, is non-existent at 1440p but then the CPU bottlenecks hard at 4k

It's usually the GPU that's the bottleneck the higher your resolution is
potent arrow
Pretty much always is
Don't forget that sick AMD GPU tuner that exists that OCs the cards to insanity
dreamy chasm
There's always going to be a bottleneck in your system, only becomes an issue if your rig is severely unbalanced in one place or another
like running a 4 core with a 3090
12600k with a 6800xt is perfectly reasonable, specially if you have enough cooling on your cpu and vrm to run the chip on full tilt

budget?
you can go from a basic IPS like what bidori showed you(which is a good monitor) to an OLED display, to something less expensive than an oled with some more premium stuff than the good, cheap monitor that may or may not be worth it depending on your situation
is your workstation stuff color sensitive?

also we are at the age now where shit in the EU is far more expensive than in the US because the euro value is dropping
