Intel recommends a 500w power supply for the i9-10900K and that's without a graphics card lol
digital hill
A 500w psu with a gpu will not power an i9 10900k without problems
an 800w psu could
latent light
The 10900K consumes close to 400 watts from boost under full load lol
fiery nymph
that's crazy
violet plank
The 10900K consumes close to 400 watts from boost under full load lol
@latent light
actually there is no limit at all according to the original intel sheets
only recomendations
so 400W +++++
and cpu's like 10900k from the same wafer vary +/- 20W,good job intel

I love white builds
That's a reference RX 5700 with white vinyl on it

that looks unique but they will never do unique at all they'll copy the past and that's it

RTX 2000 reference was a new design
latent light
It seems more like something XFX would do lol
violet plank
actually the fan/cooler design is very interesting,but i highly doubt any of this is real
latent light
May not be fake
I just think someone made that cooler themself and is trying to jumble up hype
violet plank
maybe some kind of engineering sample,who knows
color scheme seems completely off for nvidia tho
looks like 2 slot,that would be nice
my bet is august for the announcements of both nvidia and amd
digital hill
though they wouldn't call it geforce rtx though
only rtx with the number like 2080 2070 or 2060
violet plank
that pic is supposed to be a 3080
that rear fan does not make proper sense unless the pcb is really short and the fins go all the way through
storm osprey
but i want a 3080 and that thing is ugly..
violet plank
paint it orange
supple bane
but i want a 3080 and that thing is ugly..
Ur ugly
I think it looks quite good
The colours are naff, but with a paint job it would be sweet
violet plank
and put some rgb on it,makes it at least 10% faster

Some interesting analysis hinting that the RTX 3080 pictures could be very much real:

Looking at a mouse with the number pad on the side. Will I be able to use the number pad on ps4?
supple bane
With games that natively support keyboard and mouse, yes, I dont see why not
Although I dont know why you would buy a nice mouse like that for a ps4 
Considering there are barely any games that can use it
digital hill
Well if he wants to dominate fortnite then it sounds like a good idea
cursive sail
Because I'm planning on a getting a pc soon. But my bday is coming up and the mouse would be a nice gift. But yes just found out Battlefield v dose not have any settings for mouse and keyboard. So guess I'll go for headphones.
@digital hill lol. I did get into fortnite for some reason. I just hate the building thing.
unreal mountain
are the pre built gaming pcs on amazon good ?
storm osprey
building your own > prebuilt
prebuilts just hit stats like "2060, i5, 16gb ram"
when its the worst single fan 2060, the cheapest i5, a single stick of 16gb of ram that is rated 2666mhz
and of course the cheapest mb and psu they can get
(typically)
digital hill
You forgot about shitty cpu coolers
odd goblet
Don't forget to get $40 worth of RGB lights
digital hill
nah some of them don't even got good rgb
but we all forgot about something of prebuilt
those shitty ass propierty connectors for fans and psu
astral merlin
Trust me, building it yourself will be more worth it as you actually know what you’re going to get and know how the structure of your pc will look like
digital hill
Yeah and if you want to know https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ is your homie to know if your config works
supple bane
i think that looks pretty sweet
but my gut is telling me it will be loud af, unless that fan is really super good and efficient, it would have to spin so fast to move air through that entire heatsink
violet plank
hmm,not sure about it yet,but i guess it won't be as loud as the axial fans on the usual founders edition's
but the longer i see it the more i like the design as well
prime jasper
bruh we'll get a whole new level of gpu sackin
storm osprey
Yea still ugly. And people think there is another fan on the other side

your visual taste is highly arguable @storm osprey

@digital hill ya. There was a mode some time back that you could only build 10 of each type of wall. That should be the normal amount in my opinion or at lest a permanent option.

It's on ps4 but I hear it's buggy.
alpine haven
I'm perplexed as to what that has to do with #technology ?
digital hill
@alpine haven Well fortnite requires a pc console or mobile device which means that you need technology to play them so we are talking about technology where he says no pc or phone which is part of technology
alpine haven
@digital hill Not really, that's more of a #general conversation. If you were discussing the r/w of say an SSD and the performance impacts while playing Fortnite, that would make sense.
alpine haven
Gotcha
digital hill
as on the back it's hot as shit
alpine haven
Bad fan/heat sink or?
digital hill
no idea
alpine haven
Might be time to take it apart and explore. 😉
digital hill
can't be fan due to the fact the front is cool
alpine haven
Not sure what that would have to do with it, but ideally your PSU for the device would be at the rear, so it would seemingly be hotter there than at the front I would think.
digital hill
True
But seems like it suppose to be hot in the back as if it was overheating well it would shut down
digital hill
?
alpine haven
That seems about right, there is a large blower.
Do you hear it whirring when you turn it on?
digital hill
It was a little loud but it's close to me so it's not whirring
It will be loud if I put in some cd
also I was doing it to test a controller analog stick as when I plug it into my pc and play euro truck simulator 2 the right analog stick will drift
alpine haven
That blower is drawing cold air from the front/top and pushing it to/out the rear.
supple bane
PSU's dont get that hot, heatsinks get hot, if there is a hotspot on your ps4 there is a good chance that is just where the heatsink is
alpine haven
The PS4 has no heatsink for the PSU--the encasement is designed to channel heat out. The blower pushes through a GPU spreader/heatpipe, reaching the PSU encasement, then pushing out the rear.
maybe your fan is clogged up like this? https://media.comicbook.com/2017/12/tvkbw6mi7p601-1070281.jpeg
That would significantly tax it's ability to cool.
digital hill
I don't want to take apart and see

nacho doesnt like nachos so 3000 nachos certainly wouldnt be his style lol

Intel be like: Benchmarks don't represent real world performance, unless it's Userbenchmark.com
storm osprey
please dont let that design be official for the 3080 founders
i might just not get it at launch if thats the case...
violet plank
usually you only get a founders ed if you plan to put a waterblock on it
for that they are perfect
storm osprey
i dont plan to, but i want a gpu ASAP
i dont want to wait 2-3 before AIB cards come out and are available to buy without a bot
storm osprey
werent 2000 series founders close to AIB performance?
molten coral
Just get a GTX 210 it has raytracing and you will be able to play games at 1 fps.
storm osprey
hmm, could have sworn the 2000 series founders werent nearly that bad
violet plank
but with a custom waterblock they are awesome
cause the first chips are usually good binned
but need proper cooling
violet plank
it is
i was planning to do a new build,1000$ material cost
and the maintenance sucks as well
draining and cleaning the loop takes so much time
but still,i wanna do a zmt build,love the looks
zmt = zero maintenance tubes
storm osprey
looks like too much work to me
digital hill
I need to get a better exhaust fan and better cpu cooler
violet plank
custom loops are a lot of work,all of them
supple bane
i wouldnt mind doign a custom loop, its the gpu block im not sure about
violet plank
that's the easy part
digital hill
the hard part is making sure no leaks
violet plank
err missread
digital hill
and it works
violet plank
read cpu lol
supple bane
yeah i just dont have the confidence to do something like that
i think i would have to buy a gpu with a block preinstalled
violet plank
if you do it the first time,just be aware that you might destroy some (all) of your hardware
supple bane
im all too familiar with that concept, dont worry
violet plank
i know lol
digital hill
or go towards air cooling which is still better
storm osprey
unless im rolling in dough and can buy multiple expensive parts and not even be concerned about replacing them, i will never do a custom loop
violet plank
you can do a build like this,not much to gain with a custom loop here
as an example
if you don't mind the looks
digital hill
I mean they do now have a black fan
storm osprey
so for the new founders editions is the bottom fan going to intake and top fan exhaust?
violet plank
both
storm osprey
both?
violet plank
bottom fans blows to the middle and out of the card
but that's theory unless we see a real and final design
from nvidia
storm osprey
interesting
violet plank
and question remains imo if there is any kind of chambering inside
violet plank
just pull an orange bag over it and be done with it
digital hill
Damn my ps4 airflow was filled with so much dust
molten coral
The only thing I hate about my card is that I can't change the colour of the ''GEFORCE RTX'' text
Always green
storm osprey
oof, if that happens with these im turning it off
violet plank
founders card?
molten coral
ye
violet plank
there is a prog to change it
digital hill
I do like those greens
molten coral
Would be better if it was white
violet plank
called led visualizer or something like that
digital hill
I mean look at the matrix
digital hill
they had green so with a green gpu then I'll like it
storm osprey
i will clip the LEDs if i have to
digital hill
or nacho why not just cover it with some sort of tape and call it a day
supple bane
that would be even more ugly lol
violet plank
lmao,make a video of it plz
violet plank

how hard is it to install an AIO on a gpu?
molten coral
not hard
violet plank
not worth it
digital hill
But remember to keep the 20 of screws with you
violet plank
nzxt one ?
supple bane
no, just a normal, run of the mill cpu cooler
violet plank
yeah lol,tons of real tiny screws
supple bane
should have specified that i guess lol
violet plank
and how do you want to fit it on the gpu ?
supple bane
well i know its possible, just dont know how hard it is lol
violet plank
lol
storm osprey
ah
storm osprey
20 bucks just for the mountain bracket, then you need to buy the AIO
supple bane
i guess its not that bad, after i changed my fans around i saw a massive improvement in temperatures on my gpu
violet plank
and mounted with zip ties
violet plank
ok that's too hot
digital hill
My pc is strangely started to sound louder

but better look at your case airflow first

My internet is extremely slow, so I copied my brothers installation of the most recent patch onto a usb and now onto my computer. My question is, in the process, the files have all lost their folders so I have one giant mess of a folder. What would be the best way to reorganize this and then scan it? Currently doing the install/pause install/put new files into folder/resume isn't doing it. Any advice?

I have never even heard of someone putting a patch onto a drive and transferring that way. have you done that before? because i feel like it wouldnt work

I hope the Note 20 isn't going to be super expensive like the S20 ultra or else I'll just get that but it really depends on the price.

So if the note 20 drops for 1k I rather get that
oneplus 8 pro also seems like a good phone

its more comparable to an rtx 2060

they gett pretty much the exact same fps, but i dont think the 1070 can be had new anymore
and if they can, they are much more expensive
k?
digital hill
Nacho today I figured out why you couldn't change it as it doesn't support rtx but nvidia did say to try evga precesion x1
maybe try that to change your color rgb
since led visualizer does not support rtx
molten coral
mhh 👀
prime jasper
make sure you uninstall afterburner or whatever you were trying to use before

So no color strange but at least now you can just disable it

your isp,cable,copper,fiber,your inhouse cable and so on

easiest thing,get a router from your isp

but i dont want to get a shitty router
they might give me something that, fits and only fits your needs

what do you want more?
storm osprey
ISP charge monthly rental fees, you can buy your own shit that will "pay for itself" in about a year

maybe you should write which country and isp you got

so i think id have to use an ethernet cable to achieve that

you can do that with wifi or cable,but cable is always better

does your isp even support other routers?
true cradle
but 1 gig is not even attainable in my country
im not even using a router that belongs to my isp
not same brand

you got more than 1 pc/laptop or whatever?

true cradle
ok.....
violet plank
or vdsl
true cradle
ok
true cradle
well we have Souq.com for all our worries which is shitty
although we have a few sites for PCparts
modern pcparts
but i dont think they have any routers
so for routers i guess use my isp?
violet plank
nope lol
true cradle
oh well no its there
so maybe try finding something that is cash
like something local
are you sure theres nothing on souq or noon
also im not looking for something high end
violet plank
wanna go cheap or more expensive ?
true cradle
define expensive
violet plank
dunno your currency,you got a limit ?
true cradle
um well what can you get by 700 or lower egp
violet plank
how much aed is 700 egp?
violet plank
nothing good in that price range
true cradle
ok find me the best cheapest thing
so i dont mind if you go higher than 700 egp
but finding me something good, but the lowest you can find
violet plank
not that easy,i'm trying
violet plank
cheapest good one i found so far is 2246 egp...
true cradle
why
jeez
on all 3 sites?
i dont need 1 gig speed routers btw
maximum speed i can get is 100mbps
violet plank
yeah,you won't get any for that price range
that speed is for the internal network in your house
true cradle
no
violet plank
you could go with your isp router which is 5egp per month renting ?
true cradle
so its a good router
violet plank
it's about the same as the huawei you can rent from your isp
actually a bit better
good wifi
true cradle
so is it decent?
true cradle
but?
violet plank
ask your isp if it is compatible to be sure
true cradle
ok
violet plank
so it works for sure
true cradle
how fast is it
violet plank
for the price it is decent
true cradle
just to make sure
violet plank
100mbs
violet plank
it is for the price
true cradle
ok in general
violet plank
yes
true cradle
ok
violet plank
will be hard to find anything better for that price imo
violet plank
it is better in any way possible
violet plank
100mbs is the max internet speed you can get from your isp
true cradle
ok can you find a different isp in my country that has anything faster?
violet plank
but if you connect like 2 pcs on the router on 1 gig ports,they can transfer on 1 gig to each other
but only pc to pc
if you need/want that
otherwise you don't need it
true cradle
i dont understand
if i have 2 lan ports on my router
and my router is 1 gigabit speed
and i use both on 2 pcs
the speed on the pcs will be 1gigabit?
true cradle
question
i dont have a wifi card on my motherboard
i have a usb wifi adapter
do i remove it when i get an ethernet cable?
violet plank
yes
true cradle
i found a slighty expensive one with a speed of 300mbps
violet plank
best you find someone with knowledge where your live
violet plank
not really better,has a fiber port which you can't use
true cradle
i am using fiber tho
violet plank
are you sure?
true cradle
yes i have carbon fiber cables
even asked the technician when he installed them
also was the thing about the 1gigabit speed using 2 pcs thing called combined dual band?
violet plank
if it is the same no
true cradle
i mean how do i know the difference
violet plank
but in this case you need a router with fiber connection
if you got fiber in your house
true cradle
i am like 99% sure its fiber because i asked the guy
the 1% decreased because of all your questioning
violet plank
like you got an outlet where you plug in that cable
violet plank
yes plz
storm osprey
not a lot of console players come around these parts
oblique raft
for real
storm osprey
#technology is kind of a pc nerdy spot
oblique raft
ok
storm osprey
or people thinking this chat is tech support
oblique raft
but which side are you on
storm osprey
pc > ps > switch
oblique raft
i just want to have a discussion
ok so for this generation of consoles playstation won
because xbox was being kinda dumb
but this time playstation might win one more time because of the same reason
storm osprey
in terms of sales?
oblique raft
yes
storm osprey
i really dont see xbox winning any time soon
oblique raft
i know
storm osprey
they gotta build up a first party portfolio thats diverse
xbox is basically an american gaming system through and through
its honestly pretty impressive it has the sales it does with that said
(and the lack of exclusives this gen tbh)
oblique raft
yeah but its like they almost hold back tho
storm osprey
well last i heard they bought a bunch of devs so lets see how that goes
granted i think at the beginning of a launch xbox usually buys devs and it doesnt amount to much
also doesnt help that most of their exclusives come to PC as well

@storm osprey a friend wants to buy a GPU for about $150. What are your recommendations?
He doesn't know AMD much but is willing to try it
astral merlin
Okie, I will tell him that
sinful mantle
im using one now in fact
astral merlin
How much can a 960 handle in Battlefield V? 
storm osprey
uhh atm prices are kind of all over the place
sinful mantle
it was optimized for bf4 at ultra...i set it to custom settings mostly medium and it runs bfv very smooth much like bf3
molten coral
how about the RX 580?
storm osprey
iirc 580 beats 960 in general, and is much better for bf titles too
molten coral
Could probably get it second hand for cheap
sinful mantle
if you spend that same amount on a newer card you wont get the same performance as the GTX ws a upper tier card in its day
storm osprey
(bf games love amd for some reason)
yea im pretty sure 580 competes with 1060 even
(just higher TDP)
sinful mantle
im not aware of all the newer cards but can testify to the 960s performance on bfv
actuially the 960 beats the 1060 in performance
storm osprey
sinful mantle
see the 9 series were short lived when the moved to the 1000 series
storm osprey
1060 was the direct upgrade to 960
sinful mantle
i see...hows the price differencial?
we're talking $150
but to be quite honest i will need a new card sometimes soon or revert to low setting on future games...but for now im running medium on most recent games...on gamers debate ive read that the GTX 960 renders 97 out of the latestest 100 games
oh i just noticed that the chart refers to ultra settings?
how are the two cards on medium settings?
storm osprey
960 arent even sold new anymore, since those launched in 2014 or 2015 (dont recall off the top of my head)
sinful mantle
yeah this is why i said "if you can find one"
storm osprey
while 580 did launch a while ago as well, they for some reason have held up their performance all these years and are deemed bang for buck kings at 1080p
sinful mantle
yeah true
storm osprey
a new 580 8gb is around 160
sinful mantle
good price indeed
its the 8 gig that does it
do they render ultra well?
on bfv?
i dont need ultra but would be nice to have the option
im a performance whore....lol
storm osprey
afaik 8gb vram is like ram, having more than needed doesnt really do anything
its once you hit a limit that you see problems
sinful mantle
yeah thats why i was asking
storm osprey
and yea, ultra settings uses more vram
sinful mantle
in fact in some cases more can in fact slow you up
storm osprey
i think textures, view distance, and a couple of other settings are really taxing on vram
sinful mantle
more to render yeah
storm osprey
and if youre looking to get a new card there are new gpus coming out within a couple of months
though they will release high end like xx80 and xx80 ti first, that should have some effect on lower end cards prices
quaint topaz
Get 👏 the 👏 4GB 👏 version
960 2gb is almost useless for most of today's AAA titles.
sinful mantle
to an extent this is true if your into eye candy only
i get 60 frames consistantly on medium to high setting bfv
star citizen is taxing though
molten coral
lol even with my 2080ti rip my frames in star citizen
sinful mantle
it runs squad on mostly high settings
storm osprey
yea i had a 1060 3gb and couldnt play tomb raider because of vram limitations
sinful mantle
its about compromize and custom setting basically on just about everything PC wise unless you have big pockets
but the beauty of PC is that you can customize setting and clock up
im not gonna upgrade now. Im saving to buy or build a brand new machine for bf6
ill keep this one for tooling around and comms
quaint topaz
I have a love hate relationship with star citizen
The tech is cool, gameplay isn't so much
It's just a giant tech demo at this point
digital hill
my 570 oc just runs gta v good but not oc well expect 40fps
sinful mantle
@quaint topaz iagree im in love with the concept
elete dangerous is adding fps shooting
its a star ship game as well
^ thats the fps trailer
explanation ^
im pretty exited about this developement

violet plank
now that's a nice looking board...
supple bane
need
is that their first "vision" board?
because if they carry on that line, it might well be my next
violet plank
dunno
never seen a design like this
violet plank
lul
supple bane
after having an rgb logo on the chipset heatsink, i probably couldnt go bck
it fills a normally empty boring black void with that rgb goodness
violet plank
bling bling
= gaming
as we all now,rgb adds at least 20% more fps
ffs this board is tempting af
supple bane
im assuming it wouldnt have an rgb header tho
which is litterally a no go for most builds now
supple bane
do common brands like corsair come with wired controllers ?
like, ones that use the powersupply?
