that's getting pretty close to the limit
depends on clocks, is it the watercooled vega64?
storm osprey
@raw turtle just put your parts list into pcpartpicker and pick a psu with at least 100 watts more than what pcpartpicker says
red ingot
No :(
storm osprey
monster
storm osprey
im looking at it right now, says you get 25% off
raw turtle
No watercooled vega
storm osprey
it says there is 15% off gmmk and then an additional 25% off with promo code
raw turtle
But i have already a system with a ryzen 7 2700x and i had one peak at 297 watt and normaly its 230 at high jdsge
Usage
storm osprey
yea yag, the full size gmmk with gateron reds and keycaps is 70 bucks right now
prime jasper
what are the differences in ambient occlusion settings
red ingot
Yeah
Also I guess probably worth it to get a wrist rest too right
Plus the only thing that's gonna annoy me too is the lack of USB passthrough :/ gotta find somewhere else to plug in my headset
But I'm sure I'll figure that out

Corsair is proud of their RGB fans.. no sales x_x

They know u need the rgb

coulda spent $320 on 2700x and suitable board but spent $530 on 9700k and high end board, makes sense ๐

Any reported issues with this new Nvidia driver update?

if a driver update isn't mandatory to run a new game and I have no issues with it, I typically just wait a few days and check /r/nvidia on Reddit

@glad stratus all my games started having major fps drops (gtx970)
I installed the driver they released before the latest
that one works fine
since then I also don't have micro freezes in bfv

@unborn epoch @red ingot you guys both already saw my OC vs non OC benchmarks from single player right?

Sennheiser 579 for 95โฌ worth it? 
marsh plume
hy guys, can i add a custom platoon emblem from https://emblemsbf.com/ ?
rose eagle
@red ingot and yea, i tested multiple times so wasnt just a fluke difference
min and avg were same 3-4x over same sequence
storm osprey
@turbid verge id get the 598 or 599 if the price difference is minimal
rose eagle
is the GAME ONE a pos?
storm osprey
sennheiser stuff is the only headset i would recommend
hyper x stuff is good, but i love open back
BUT i would get the massdrop x sennheiser pc37x over game one
storm osprey
598 costs more than the 599? yea stock for 598 has to be low for that to happen
i remember being mad that you guys got the 598 for so cheap compared to us
turbid verge
storm osprey
it was like 180 usd to your 100 euro a few months ago

turbid verge
Saw the 579 for 95โฌ so might buy them since my budget doesnt allow more then that
turbid verge
Everything 
storm osprey
without getting into too much detail and shopping around i would say 579 for 95 is a good deal, and even if there is a better deal to be had
it wont be by much
just sad 598 and 599 are super inflated atm
rigid knoll
I got HD 555's about 10 years ago. Still happy with them. I wonder if they still build the newer models to last
storm osprey
afaik build quality for sennheisers have never been bad
which is a reason they are highly regarded, as well as their sound quality
rose eagle
with 4.9ghz Boost what's the point overclocking the 9700k?
unless you can go past that
anandtech hit 5.3ghz stable on one so guess it would depend, but if boost is 4.6ghz across all cores active and you can OC to 4.6, that's theoretically useless?
red ingot
I mean I feel like Intel is trying to appeal to the average consumer here that doesn't OC
Cause it's like well if the chip is stable at this higher clock, why the heck don't we just set the turbo to that to increase performance
neat nacelle
potentially because of power consumption
and not everyone having the same cooling solution
red ingot
Yeah
But like as in if all chips are stable and run cool enough on the stock cooler, why not increase the turbo to match?
Makes sense imo
Which is why u can still oc it a bit more but not as much as before
rose eagle
@tepid river was that a question?
red ingot
My opinion at least
rose eagle
if you can get one for $180 an RX 580 seems pretty spot on for perf over the 1060, but i still wouldnt ever go AMD since i have gsync ๐

yeh.. CLC 280 is $100 CDN

i have a 1080 TI G force grafic card but oinly get 60 FPS at ultra settings. ๐ isnt that a little low?
for example in forca horizon 4 at ultra i still get 144 FPS. How cann i increase my FPS in BF5 without losing any beauty :D?
rose eagle
yea h100i should be fine
flint locust
h100i will work fine
have the same cooler (well the v2 version) never checked what the difference is between that and the first
rose eagle
i like toms hardware they do the same test setup each time even for newer stuff
the 150i pro reviews are super disappointing
its like the 100/110 were as good as they get
red ingot
Well that's good
So at least I won't have to change my cooler if panda comes back with groundbreaking benchmarks
So I might not have to beg on the streets for money
Just be really broke
rose eagle
i mean.. the CLC 280 gets substantially better review but i dont think you "need" it
red ingot
Yeah no I'm happy with my h100i
red ingot

rose eagle
i mean that 8700k + Asus board for $410 is killer...
red ingot
Are there 8700k vs 3700k benchmarks online?
rose eagle
9700k will be $410 after this week eh?
red ingot
For bfv
rose eagle
no one lists shit for 3770k ๐
red ingot
And I haven't found any combo deals in Canada
Yeah exactly
I wanna know how much perf increase I'm gonna get
rose eagle
you OCd?

yea im curious if a downclock like i did wrecks FPS also
yea if they fix DX12 itll be moot ๐
red ingot
Idk I tried downclocking and didn't see a huge dif
unborn epoch
i finally positioned my monitors properly now
rose eagle
i mean i had to bench an exact scenario
red ingot
But like I've seen people complain here that they have like 6700ks and 1080tis and getting less fps than me

its impossible to bench MP

if my pkg is 4 hours away.. it could easily still travel nearby by tomorrow and then to the nearby distro for delivery Weds
thats just stupid
rose eagle
yea i mean it's only 1:38pm here
storm osprey
i HATE when my package is like an hour away but it takes days for it to ship to me
sonic osprey
I usually order stuff to the 24h kiosk they have here, most stuff is already at their own warehouse next to ther kiosk, delivery in 15min
red ingot
here they would've shipped that thing out at 6am from 4h away, arrive in my city by 10am, and out for delivery by 10:30, at my house around 2-3pm
rose eagle
yea i live in a state no one cares about
storm osprey
newegg goes through some post that takes it to their distributor downtown one day, hands it off to postoffice main place the next, then post office takes it to my local distributor the day after, and FINALLY it will ship to me THE DAY AFTER THAT
storm osprey
the bs part, is that its not delayed
i do newegg saver shipping
since they ship from 7 hours away from me
it usually takes 1-2 days for stuff to get to me
storm osprey
but when they use certain shipping services, they get to the end of the 7 business days
red ingot
wtf
storm osprey
seriously
red ingot
i'd rather drive down there myself at that point
ive had shit come from the other end of the country come sooner than 7 business days
storm osprey
right?
red ingot
wtfff
storm osprey
one time i called them to ask about it, and they said "you selected the 5-7 business day shipping, youre package should come tomorrow, which is the 7th business day"
red ingot
then and again, around xmas, i've also waited 15 business days for something to be delivered from 4h away
storm osprey
and im like "... but youre 7 hours away from me..."
red ingot
yeah ikr
storm osprey
"how do you get to the 7th business day?"
red ingot
usually when i get a "5-7 business day" thing but they're 4h away, i usually get it within 2 business days
storm osprey
thats reasonably
red ingot
cause it's like a "welp it's literally 1 stop away"
storm osprey
3-4 days is reasonable
red ingot
like that's one truck
storm osprey
but the full 7 business days?
red ingot
they stick it on one fucking truck and it's in my city
i understand other side of the country, lots of transfers
but when it's only gotta go on one truck? they usually just get it over with

rose eagle

7 business days
rose eagle
this is what happens in US ;P
storm osprey
lol they dont do that to me, they just hand it off to like 4 different distributors in my city before it gets to me
rose eagle
the problem is flights as well, availability to popular destinations and non stop
storm osprey
its like newegg told them "get to the end of 7 business days, we need that shipping income"
rose eagle
the more people that touch it the better right?

Most packages u don't need to sign for - so when they do that they get about halfway up your walkway and launch it at the door and run away

formal ridge
Iโm mainly looking for longevity/performance
red ingot
9700k
storm osprey
it seems like money isnt a concern for you, but id rather get 9700k than 8086k, also 16gb of ram is perfect, sata ssd will see basically the same mainstream performance
formal ridge
97 over 99?
mental hatch
just higher clocked
formal ridge
Ah
storm osprey
thats why i asked if this is purely for gaming
rose eagle
also i dont believe the Kraken AIO is near the best cooler
formal ridge
So 9700k and a 2080 ti
storm osprey
if you do video editing that ram is better
mental hatch
ye
formal ridge
What cooler do you recommend?
rose eagle
Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 if you dont care about price
red ingot
2080ti if u have lots of money
rose eagle
i mean yea it's only +$50
red ingot
1080ti if u want price/performance
rose eagle
already buyin a 2080Ti ๐
red ingot
Panda you're buying a 2080ti?
formal ridge
majority of my money is going to the 9700k and 208ti
rose eagle
hell no
rose eagle
i mean personally i went for the EVGA CLC 280 today because it's crazy on sale
mental hatch
the asus u got would be fine
prime jasper
are the performance gains from using dual channel ram as high in bfv as it is in bf1?
i have a single 8gb stick in my system right now, bf1 runs at ~50-60 fps when most benchmarks show it running near 70-80 on the same settings
but then i saw another video where they compared single and dual channel and they got 20-30 extra fps on average
also is 16gb necessary for bf5
rose eagle
but if i had no resource problem id probably have gotten the floe riing 360
mental hatch
things like asus crosshairs are for like ln2
rose eagle
$75 vs $175
been researching AIOs for quite a while now and know someone who spent many months researching custom loops who went with the floe riing

ive seen too many problems with NZXT, not sure why they are the "go to"

cl15 3000 vs 16 3200, who knows

i doubt the difference between the two rams is noticeable

storm osprey
now if it was 2400 vs 3200 then you have a case
mental hatch
dont ever ask that in the pcpartpicker forums tho people go stupid on that stuff
storm osprey
ram speed only matter in high end systems anyway, and the difference is like 10 fps from 2400 to 3200, so thats all they need to know
rose eagle
7 reviews for the 3200, 27 for the 3000
storm osprey
and i mean 2080ti high end
mental hatch
some guy had 3200 cl16 $110 and someone reccomended him flare x that was just cl14 and was $150

that guy is utterly stupid

ram cant be making all that diff, otherwise ill see a huge gain from the 3770k from ram alone ๐
buy new cpu to use new ram but cpu does nothing
storm osprey
rose eagle
ryzen feeds off ram to be useful
storm osprey
high end systems, for amd, ram speed makes a difference

amd is the budget king atm

that sentence makes no sense

budget PC... that's no way to game
eat ramen for 3mo and buy yourself a longevity PC

people that obsessive over ram and people that recommend an i7 because they want to try streaming instead of getting a 1080 are also bad people

dont need 32gb for gaming, rgb is meh, m.2 doesnt mean much for 90% of people
rose eagle
larger drives usually have higher perf
rose eagle
is that the OS boot drive or games?
storm osprey
you wont see the speed diff for any normal use from m.2 to sata
rose eagle
you should have 2 drives here..
storm osprey
@formal ridge perf between 32gb and 16gb will be roughly the same, dont see that changing any time soon, ssd same thing
red ingot
10/10 would buy
red ingot
and yeah that too
storm osprey
perf/longevity doesnt account for rgb either
rose eagle
its an enthusiast lol wtf why? ssd
formal ridge
Lol rgb is just coincidence for the products I choose
I just want to be able to run 4K at consist 100fps
storm osprey
if perf/longevity is the bottom line i recommended already
red ingot
wait
storm osprey
2080ti wont get 4k 100fps consisntely
formal ridge
Fuck
red ingot
why is the 960 evo more expensive than the 970?
storm osprey
why are normal people buying those ssds?1
rose eagle
id never, ever buy 4k for gaming
storm osprey
your game will load .5 seconds faster
rose eagle
for as long as im alive i highly doubt 4k will ever be mainstream 144+fps
waits 20 years and will reassess
for now, i doubt in my gaming lifetime ๐
since im old
rose eagle
1440p is still barely 144fps
formal ridge
I just wanna game with good parts which is why I choose those ๐ฆ
red ingot
on a 2080ti?
formal ridge
I thought you guys would like it
red ingot
i feel like it would
rose eagle
no sorry ๐
storm osprey
those are very good parts, just overkill, my part list vs yours is like 300 bucks off, and youre getting the same performance, with more storage
rose eagle
unless you paid over $1000
red ingot
lol

What are we on about
red ingot
high sales taxes + shitty currency = high prices
rose eagle
i hung onto my 970 long as possible, i got fkd worse imo having to get a 2070
but i "had" to upgrade
fk used
and fk $800
what you gonna do
clear widget
Why didn't u get a 1080yi
red ingot
hey i upgraded from a 780ti
rose eagle
they arent available
red ingot
so tbf my upgrade was worth it
rose eagle
yea
clear widget
You serious
red ingot
i held out for a while
storm osprey
new 1080ti went out quick
clear widget
Are they dry
red ingot
i think so
storm osprey
after benchmarks came out
rose eagle
1080ti been dry like 2mo
clear widget
Oh I am so lucky
formal ridge
Overkill is a good thing?
red ingot
er no
formal ridge
For he new build?
red ingot
not unless u need those benchmarks
rose eagle
i saw one for $650 and was like nahhh theyll come down by black friday
storm osprey
not when you dont get performance increases
rose eagle
RIP RTX
red ingot
rip rtx so hard
clear widget
Dude I Baught my 1080ti after 2000 announcement
rose eagle
and moved on with life, o well!
red ingot
now you're getting new cpu/mobo/ram
clear widget
I knew 2080ti was dogshit in disguise
red ingot
and cooler
rose eagle
lolz
rose eagle
1070Ti would not have bottlenecked cpu i bet
lower fps
yep
woulda saved like $800
RIP
storm osprey
i got my 1080 for 550, a year later it went to 450, so i wasnt made at a year difference
clear widget
F

I got mine for 550 ya boi
rose eagle
srsly tho $410 for the 8700k Asus board combo makes me almost cry
red ingot
lol
clear widget
Brand new
rose eagle
vs my $530 for my combo
red ingot
no combo deal for u
rose eagle
cpu and ram sittin in my closet

You ... got ... scammed

Install media made, now waiting for windows to write over itself. -.-'
Why so many random fluke tech issues the past few days
Just leave me alloooneee tech gremlins
rose eagle
not enough 0s and 1s in your diet
red ingot
lol
rose eagle
blends up raw binary with carrots
gaunt dragon
I just want to be able to start my PC, normally. And play BFV, that's too much to ask
red ingot
yes
rose eagle
^
red ingot
according to Microsoft
gaunt dragon
Yup
clear widget
But you need to convert binary
red ingot
pls pay $5 for the "have windows work" DLC

Had to yank a thumb drive from someone in my house, bribe them to use their PC, made a recovery drive, and now I have to wait even more
My SSD cant come fast enough
clear widget
I'm still running my case open cause I don't have enough airflow
gaunt dragon
^
clear widget
I need 2 good airflow fans
Any recommendations I might buy them today
Hopefully on sale
storm osprey
idk about atm because of sales
but cougar vortex fans imo are one of the best bang for buck fans you can get
mental hatch
the orange ones?
clear widget
1200 rpm?
Das pussy shit
Woah but that's a lot of airflow 60.4
Wait something's wrong 60.4 cfm at 17.7 decibels? That can't be right ...
clear widget
lol right
But I need 2 powerful fucken fans cause I only have 1 slot left on my mb which I will be using a splitter to plug both fans in
red ingot
Why do they have to be powerful cause of that
storm osprey
cougar fans come pwm though
storm osprey
they change fan speed accordingly
web browsing or idle? low speeds
intense gaming? faster speeds
rose eagle
140mm ftw
rose eagle
@storm osprey these CFV14HP are 1200rpm 119.8 CFM right?
storm osprey
stock fans on any case are usually just ok
@rose eagle idk the sound to airflow by heart xD
latent light
maximum of 119.8 CMH
storm osprey
yea idk at which speeds how much air they push
rose eagle
19db
storm osprey
all i know is that my gpus fans are louder than my cougar fans at load
rose eagle
im thinking about immediately mounting them to my evga
latent light
i want one that's solid black
storm osprey
they have it
rose eagle
and not even testing the stock CLC 280 fans
storm osprey
only orange on the dampening pad
rose eagle
i hear they're stupid loud like 37db
storm osprey
yep, thats the one
latent light
i have to get a new front panel header because the cables get in the way of a 140mm fan mount
latent light
storm osprey
thats non pwm
storm osprey
yea
rose eagle
expensive as fk for non PWM
latent light
I might get a huge passive heatsink for my cpu so i can use the cpu fan slot for another case fan
storm osprey
@latent light wont work like that afaik
rose eagle
blow dat board up! ๐
storm osprey
that fan header registers the temp of the cpu
latent light
oof
storm osprey
so the fan plugged there will change speed according to cpu temps
latent light
oh shit
storm osprey
which honestly, now that i said that, idk how the other headers determine temps and speeds
rose eagle
hmm how does my board curently know how to change the speed of my PWM fans? lol
storm osprey
hwmonitor shows mb temps
mental hatch
i think the only thing 3 pin headers do is change the voltage so fan speed
storm osprey
3 pin is static
rose eagle
hmm, what should be informing my case fans to spin up? i have 3 PWM fans
latent light
:trihard:
latent light
chumean black?
storm osprey
i got my fans for roughly 15 bucks each, and at that price they were easily the best bang for buck fans available
raw turtle
Cyber monday was weak
storm osprey
you can use 4 pin in 3 pin headers just fine
latent light
amazon rips off with graphics cards lol
rose eagle
fan cost fluctuate worse than GPUs
raw turtle
Like black friday
raw turtle
I didnt saw anything useful
storm osprey
monitors and storage were good
raw turtle
No m2 nvme ssds ...
raw turtle
Yes
rose eagle
wtf is WQHD
raw turtle
1440p
storm osprey
dell s2716gb
raw turtle
I wanted one for max 250
rose eagle
well that wont buy you much ๐
