can you top mount the aio?
storm osprey
wtf
supple bane
im going to cry
who thought that was a good way for those cables to go?!
they need to be fired
storm osprey
proud trellis
YAYYYY

sus
proud trellis
🙂
storm osprey
youre welcome
quick locust
im gonna try too
proud trellis
wish we could select our own fans on the AIO
supple bane
maybe i shouldnt do water cooling irl
like ever
i actually face palmed so hard when i realised
proud trellis
YOUR ACTUALLY TAKING THE PISS
i put all the case back together and i forget thermal paste
storm osprey
you need to put thermal paste on?
it is a simulator
storm osprey
and it looks.. not good
proud trellis
violated
supple bane
aheem, fuck you?
storm osprey
no thank you
storm osprey
xD
supple bane
im gonna finish this in a sec, just gotta to something
supple bane
quick locust
a 280mm and a 360mm rad now
supple bane
proud trellis
turn the lights off , it will look better
if you go to the door

quick locust
actually i can fit a 420mm rad in this
proud trellis
420mm
jeez
i love the lian li cases so much tho
i want to get one when i build a pc
supple bane
I've had so many ideas that you could do with this game lol
Since it has overclocking, could try get the fastest 3d mark score
quick locust
cabling this will be pain
i think this will get high 3D mark score
3990X with 4800 MT/s memory somehow
if it can start
proud trellis
Since it has overclocking, could try get the fastest 3d mark score
I can’t even do the 3D mark
supple bane
what psu?
proud trellis
Me or tak ?
supple bane
i got 11,000
in 3dmark
im gonna try get the fastest score now
we'll see who can overclock better 
proud trellis
I don’t even know how to overclock , it’s just add 10 every time until it crashes isn’t it.
supple bane
mmm, its a bit more than that
daring echo
quick locust
i replaced the 2080 tis with a 3090
supple bane
2990x 2x3090
im probably gonna ditch the TR tho, they didnt have 3rd gen
go with a 5950x instead
storm osprey
i did not expect you guys to get so into this
supple bane
no thermal paste
quick locust
i thought i put
supple bane
is it custom water cooled?
proud trellis
i am making a new pc
supple bane
did you forget to plug the pump in or something
proud trellis
this one wont do the benchmark shit
i done everything it said on the screen and it done work
actually im gonna get a better psu
and try
supple bane
that threadripper was shite. gonna put in a 5950x and try get a good score
i know more about those too
quick locust
alright 3D mark time
storm osprey
when are we judging the builds?1
supple bane
we gave up on that a long time ago lol
we are seeing who can get the highest 3d mark score now
quick locust
i can't post pictures anyway
storm osprey
wooooooooooow
proud trellis
wooooooooooow
you can judge my new one when its done if u want
quick locust
14925 in time spy non OC
quick locust
i used a 3990x
quick locust
sTR4 socket
supple bane
meh, i think the higher SCP will be better anyway
proud trellis
are you guys all using ryzen cpu's ?
supple bane
i might run into issues with thermal throttling on x570, yikes
why isnt there watercooled 3000 series : (
proud trellis
the fuck has your case gone
supple bane
its a test bench
proud trellis
wait how u get that
proud trellis
AHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAAA
thats the same as mine
if u can figure it out pls tell me 🙂

Don't oc beyond what the cpu can handle
quick locust
mine did that i just factory reset bios
supple bane
hmm, ive tried different ram and a different cpu and neither worked
time to try a different mobo

i am gonna use a 2080 super
i have only used 30 series and the 2080ti

anyone know why nvidia dlss is greyed out? i'm on a 3070 at 1440p, already enabled dx12 and dxr then restarted the game a few times
supple bane
ok im getting somewhere
i got a 2700x to work on that mobo,
i need to try the 5950x again now
proud trellis
i cba with this game rn
proud trellis
HOWWW
supple bane
it was thermal paste
storm osprey
you make it sound like you have to physically do that xD
proud trellis
shushhhhh
supple bane
im not saying that will fix it for you
storm osprey
do you have the option of HOW you apply thermal paste?
proud trellis
you just select thermal paste and then click on the cpu and its a little pea
that goes on it
storm osprey
X > pea
molten coral
I'm a spread it all out guy
proud trellis
@supple bane i re done the thermal paste and its working now
quick locust
i got 14925 with a 3090 and a 3990X
supple bane
i got 14925 with a 3090 and a 3990X
dual or just one 3090?
supple bane
im using a test bench
supple bane
they wont overclock for shit tho lol, not even +10mhz
proud trellis
mine has managed to get to +100mhz so far
so im gonna keep going
does it crash when it cant go any further ?
quick locust
each of these have three 8 pins lol
supple bane
are you using the strix?
quick locust
maybe its the 3990x
supple bane
oh probably
quick locust
gpu oc doesnt give too much
supple bane
man im not able to get anything without crashing
quick locust
imagine the power consumption from this
supple bane
yeah
supple bane
i couldnt even get one notch up on the cpu
near rune
You oc it from bios
opaque saddle
There are two ways to do it tho
You can OC a locked cpu from intel but not much
BCLK
proud trellis
You can OC a locked cpu from intel but not much
i dont even get why intel cpus arent all OCable
quick locust
yeah 3990X cant oc at all on this lol
quick locust
yeah you cant oc 3990x in this game
supple bane
26,004 :)
supple bane
go 10900k
might be able to overclock that
i cant oc the 5950x so you might beat me
quick locust
you can swap mouse and kb? o
you can put dual 420 in this case
there
havent ocd yet but this should be gud
supple bane
my highest is 26,100
proud trellis
i just built a pc with 2 3090s with a R7 3700X
think the case i used was a bit shit tho
opaque saddle
SLI?
storm osprey
your lucky air doesnt exist in that game because that case with those FE cards would start a fire
storm osprey
for lack of air xD
digital hill
@proud trellis 32c get that nitrogen and make it even cooler
storm osprey
sli 3090s paired with a 3700x kills me
opaque saddle
Wait up. 4.4GHz on idle and 4.4GHz under load are NOT generating the same heat
digital hill
SLI today is quite useless
proud trellis
wonder what i will get in the benchmarks tho
supple bane
5950x? @quick locust
quick locust
10900K
quick locust
seem like it cant oc
storm osprey
fill me in on why you guys are using 3700x?
quick locust
its at 5.3 GHz stock
proud trellis
quick locust

supple bane
it seems that clock speed is the way to go
quick locust
about the limit of how far this pc can go
proud trellis
fill me in on why you guys are using 3700x?
its just me using it i think
quick locust
ive an idea
supple bane
my gpu's are at 85c 
proud trellis
what gpus do u have
supple bane
3090
proud trellis
where the fuck do you even check the GPU temp
quick locust
darn you cant do quad gpus
quick locust

supple bane
just you wait
supple bane
how can i have 960mm worth of rad and still be at 51c :(
quick locust
vram doesnt seem to affect scores mucj
supple bane
aer you still using the 10900k?
quick locust
nah 5950X
supple bane
hmmmmm
quick locust
27620
supple bane
you might simply have beat me then
im out of stops
gpu is at 90c now, so more overclocking isnt going to do anything
quick locust
yeah too bad no liquid 3090s
supple bane
although i havent touched cpu yet. but my hopes arent high
quick locust
i tried and it can pass at 4950 but unstable still
opaque saddle
Can you OC memory clock in the game?
supple bane
yes
opaque saddle
OC it
supple bane
im going to, still trying to dial in my gpu first tho
opaque saddle
Coz memory can be one of the factor that bottleneck the GPU internally
proud trellis
i think itd almost the 5 hour mark for them
i stopped at 4 hours
i went onto GTA instead for a bit

when installing windows do you need some sort of USB that has windows on it ?

mixing ram is not recommended, but its not guaranteed to not work
quick locust
it'll most likely work, just running at jedec
opaque saddle
it may work, or it may not work

ive seen a few cases where it "works" but problem definitely occur

Well you need to set both of them to the same speed
From bios
Or idk if it does it automatically

If you considered to upgrade your ram
Remember your ram on 2600 will not be compatible to the AMD Ryzen 5 3600
storm osprey
2600 uses ddr4, same as 3600
opaque saddle
Nah it’s ddr3
storm osprey
i dont think the ryzen line doesnt use anything other than ddr4
rough haven
Wait, my motherboard only supports DDR3 RAM
opaque saddle
I7 2600
opaque saddle
I7 2600 does support ddr3
storm osprey
oh shit i didnt notice i7 2600
opaque saddle
But the amd Ryzen 5 3600 uses ddr4
storm osprey
thats... flim flamming old
rough haven
If I was to upgrade to say a Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600, will I have to change my ram to DDR4?
quick locust
yes
storm osprey
any recent upgrade is going to be ddr4
opaque saddle
This is a problem tho, you have to replace motherboard ram and cpu
opaque saddle
Either not upgrade it, or a full upgrade
rough haven
This is a problem tho, you have to replace motherboard ram and cpu
Jesus, I am broke
quick locust
all ryzen is ddr4, all skylake (6000+) and later is ddr4
opaque saddle
I would recommend not to do any upgrades

I am getting $50 for RAM, and that's it, until my birthday and christmas
Another question, I currently have a 144hz Monitor, would my PC be able to run 2 Monitors, 144hz, and 60 or 75?

Coz I don’t think the extra ram will not make any major differences
In benchmarks theres literally only like a 5 FPS Difference, I don't know if it's even worth it tbh

Depending on the display output port that you are using and the cable
Your 1060 can do dual 144hz without any issues
rough haven
Depending on the display output port that you are using and the cable
Will any random HDMI Work?
rough haven
Can I DM u the monitor I am looking to get
opaque saddle
Send it through here
rough haven
quick locust
darn it doesnt embed
rough haven
It's that monitor
Will that be able to dual with what I currently got, which is a 144hz VA Panel, 1920x1080 Monitor
rough haven
Yeah
storm osprey
you already own that?
rough haven
No
rough haven
Is it?
rough haven
What about this one
opaque saddle
The monitor you were looking at I would say it worth 75 bucks
rough haven
This is 80 bucks, 75hz
Cause Idc too much about the monitor, I just want a second monitor lol
storm osprey
if its a second monitor i would just get IPS
opaque saddle
Better to go for 24”
rough haven
What's the difference between IPS and VA?
opaque saddle
Unless you wanna place it 90 degrees clockwise
rough haven
I want it to be like this
storm osprey
ips more color accurate, va gets better darks, i think ips has better off center viewing, va gets really bad ghosting, especially on white background black text scrolling scenarios
rough haven
My current monitor is tilted to the side, like at 90 degree angle
opaque saddle
I have to say tho
You current got a 24”
If you got a 2nd monitor for the same size, and same resolution. There is no scaling issues
So pretty much the UI on the main monitor will be as same as the 2nd monitor
rough haven
The thing is, ISP is a little bit more expensive than VA, and I cannot go above £100
opaque saddle
If you want to spend less, it doesn’t really matter
rough haven
Which is $136
opaque saddle
I think depends on where you wanna get it
rough haven
Amazon probably
opaque saddle
Coz I wouldn’t get 21” IPS monitor for 130 quid
rough haven
Well yeah
opaque saddle
I can get two of those already
Since you got a main monitor running at 144hz
Then you have to decide, whether you want to spend less money on a display or for better image quality
rough haven
Hm yeah, I just want a simple 1080p monitor, idc about what panel it is, or the refresh rate
It's just for general use, then my main 144hz monitor is for gaming
U know
storm osprey
just get ips, its barely more and worth it
opaque saddle
Yeah I got one VA and two IPS
once you go for IPS, and cannot go back to normal TN or mid end VA panel
rough haven
The thing is my main monitor is VA
And I don't wanna switch from VA
Cause I won't be able to go back compared to IPS
storm osprey
opaque saddle
Hmm I think it doesn’t matter for the price
The only thing you shouldn’t get is TN display
storm osprey
as long as you dont game on IPS will you really be able to tell?
rough haven
True
rough haven
Mhm
opaque saddle
Sometimes maybe it’s worth going for 2nd hand
storm osprey
hell, i would 100% use that monitor money with ram money and see what you can do in terms of upgrading cpu/mb/ram
opaque saddle
Like spending 20 bucks on an used display (make sure that isn’t faulty or TN panel)and use it for a year or two
opaque saddle
Do you need a 2nd display tho
opaque saddle
Coz I don’t usually find it useful
rough haven
I mean
I do tbh
Cause I do music production and programming
So it's quite useful
In my case
opaque saddle
Right, go for two displays
rough haven
One thing I'm scared about is my PC Case, Idk if it has 2 like ports
For a monitor cable
opaque saddle
Check out your graphics card
It’s a 1060 so it doesn’t worry me
Which 1060 do you have
And are you using display port on your main monitor?
rough haven
Unfortunately I have the one with 3GB VRam not 6GB, but it's the Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB OC Windforce
opaque saddle
Not HDMI. It’s display port
rough haven
And are you using display port on your main monitor?
What do you mean by Display Port?
rough haven
I'm pretty sure it's HDMI, let me double check
opaque saddle
You have to use display port cable connected to your 144hz monitor
rough haven
And then the HDMI to the second monitor?
opaque saddle
Yes
rough haven
Ah okay, I'll get a monitor that comes with Display Port, so I can swap them around
opaque saddle
Coz the cheap monitor that you will be getting, more likely be HDMI
The 144hz monitor uses display port (make sure it runs at 144hz)
rough haven
Well currently my 144hz is running with a HDMI
So when I get the second monitor, shall I get a display port, and switch them over
opaque saddle
Do you have a display port cable?
rough haven
Don't think so
opaque saddle
The monitor box includes a Display port cable tho
rough haven
Does it?
opaque saddle
It should, I was looking at the unboxing and it has it tho
rough haven
Well I swapped the previous cable I had because it was faulty, so I am assuming that was the display port
opaque saddle
Faulty?
rough haven
Oh wait no, that was my PSU Cable
quick locust
my TN monitor was 500 usd when i got it lol
rough haven
I did switch my monitor cable for something, but I cannot remember why
quick locust
use displayport for one and hdmi for other
opaque saddle
You will need to use display port cable in order to setup dual monitors
Unless you want to get an adapter or a new cable
rough haven
Alright, I will get one with the monitor
opaque saddle
For extra 10 bucks
Anyway I may have to head off soon. If you decided to go for 21” will be the cheapest option. If I were you, I will get a 24” (23.6” to be exact) because it has the same size as your main monitor
rough haven
I will attempt to get a 24"
opaque saddle
So it will be excellent for multi tasking since you will not experience any minor scaling issues.
For coding, if you want to use black background white text, go for VA
rough haven
Thanks for your time and patience with me :)
opaque saddle
No worries. Happy to help

im currently using 502GB on my ssd and all i have is COD CW , BF1 , STAR WARS BF2 and CSGO
weak girder
and then you start playing rockstar games
proud trellis
then again CW is like however many GB'S
weak girder
warzone is 150gb
opaque saddle
i tends to leave 10% space on ssd to keep up with performance

One of my PC's is basically just vr games which happily aren't huge yet
rose quarry
RTX 3080 for 3500$
proud trellis
Warzone doesn't hold a candle to arks absolute unit file size
ark is 200gb ? i thought it was about 90gb
wtf
lofty light
I just realised I can use 3 base station 2.0's for my VR setup instead of having to get even numbers 👀
Which will fix my fat body occluding the controllers
proud trellis
isnt that where you got your pc?
yeah

supple bane
they are a good company 🤷♂️
storm osprey
its not like they make the components
youd mostly rate them on shipping and customer service
supple bane
they do arguably some of the best looking prebuilt systems out there too
3xs
search it
proud trellis
the 3xs look good i must admit
storm osprey
looks in a pc...
storm osprey
i cant find anything
supple bane
storm osprey
no impressed
supple bane
storm osprey
bleh
supple bane
storm osprey
for the low low price of... 3k
storm osprey
when a 3080/5800x build would be 2k
storm osprey
my god 3k is the base price
storm osprey
proud trellis
why does that pc have a 850watt for 2x 3090
storm osprey
i have roughly those same specs, but i would have spent like 1800 for it if i bought everything new
proud trellis
supple bane
this is my personal favourite
supple bane
they dont sell that one anymore
proud trellis
threadripper or something inside ?
storm osprey
the cheapest pc is 3.8k usd, i can build similar specs, get 90% of the performance, for half that price
proud trellis
nyphon doesnt know what best looking means
supple bane
not when your spending 20k on a pc it isnt lmao
storm osprey
when youre spending 20k on a pc for looks though...
supple bane
its a niche market but people do
if your spending 20g's on a gaming pc, you should fucking expect it to be one of a kind
proud trellis
dont think many people would spend 20k on a pc tho
supple bane
take the post malone and the terry cruz builds for example
you could build same spec pc for so much less, but they want something special
storm osprey
i wonder at what price is it reasonable to start to care about looks because theres absolutely no performance gains to be had
supple bane
not everything about performance 🤷♂️
i could take a 5% performance hit if it means having a good lookin build
storm osprey
98% of your build should be about performance
storm osprey
only individuals WANTS interfere with that metric
proud trellis
isnt part of having a pc to make it look nice ???
storm osprey
no
supple bane
yes it is.
storm osprey
that might be something you care about, but thats not the point of a pc
supple bane
its the point of pc master race 
storm osprey
people werent creating pcs and saying "lets make this look cool"
proud trellis
i would
storm osprey
no one
supple bane
and no one NEEDS a good lookin pc. but people have them
and the same way people want a gaming pc, people want a good looking pc
storm osprey
now that you decided to pc game, caring about the looks of the pc benefits you in no meaningful way unless you personally decide to care about it
im talking tangible, measurable benefits vs purely wants
supple bane
im willing to get a worse case, worse fans, worse gpu, worse cpu cooler etc. provided it looks better than their bland counterparts
storm osprey
thats objectively illogical though
supple bane
when i say worse gpu i mean cooler, not pcb
storm osprey
you can want it, but you cant argue it makes sense
storm osprey
ok you can, but it doesnt mean it does make sense
storm osprey
i personally do outside of what people gift me
supple bane
because painting doesnt make your room bigger
or more insulated
but it looks nice
why paint a car out of the factory. all it does is increase the price. why not just leave it bare metal? because it looks nice
storm osprey
looking nice doesnt benefit me unless i was some individual that "the aura of colors has healing factors"
if they sold a car bare metal at a cheaper price i would buy it
youre asking the wrong person these hypotheticals
supple bane
of course you would 
storm osprey
i get a car to get from place to place with music and good gas mileage
if i could meet those needs as cheap and comfortable as possible i will
supple bane
i take it youre the kind of person that wears 10 year old socks with more holes than fabric then?
storm osprey
(sadly my fiance cares about looks and brands so we ended up spending like 7k more than i personally would have)
storm osprey
i take it youre the kind of person that wears 10 year old socks with more holes ...
i buy socks that last 10 years
gold toe ftw
storm osprey
ironically, they are ugly socks
supple bane
storm osprey
they are just black, but they are puffy
again, if it wasnt for my fiance id still be wearing them after... 8 years?
molten coral
I just see my PC as a hobby so I don't really care if I spent a lot of money on it.
storm osprey
i see gaming as a hobby, my pc is there to enable that
molten coral
That is fair
storm osprey
as far as i can think of, the only thing i think of being there for being nice that i care for is music
molten coral
if they sold a car bare metal at a cheaper price i would buy it
Glad I'm not the only one seeing it like this.
storm osprey
cybertruck ftw
molten coral
Trucks are too big
storm osprey
true, i have no use for a truck either
molten coral
hatchback cars ftw
storm osprey
if it were up to me i probably would own something like a prius
ugly af, but thats not why i buy a car 🤷
quick locust
electrical pickup would be nice for me
molten coral
I wouldn't mind getting a tesla but they are stupid expensive here.
proud trellis
porsche is the best imo
molten coral
for a daily?
storm osprey
tesla are decent price here, but i down own my house so i cant put a charger into it
i guess i can, it just wouldnt make sense
molten coral
Yeah that wouldn't make much sense
I'm currently saving up money so I can get a house when I'm done with college.
Need like 10% of the total cost so around 25k which I already have but also need money for renovations.
storm osprey
only 10%?
iirc usa is normally around 20%
though idk if credit accounts for that number
molten coral
I think it was 10% here for starters
oh right credit accounts that is a thing in the US
Glad we don't have that system as it seems pretty fucked sometimes from what I've read online.
storm osprey
its not in your favor, but its really not hard to have good credit
simplified example, 100 points is a big deal, you can lose 100 points in a single missed payment
it will take probably a year to get 100 points at an average pace
molten coral
seems fucked up to me
Like a whole year for 100 points and a single missed payment can you lose 100 points.
dunno seems pretty fucked
storm osprey
when i say "missed" they normally send you notifications up to 30 days before they report a missed payment
so its not like if youre a day late you lost 100 points
molten coral
oh right, that would make more sense.
storm osprey
i commonly say im not smart, but maybe above average, and if i can have a "great" credit score, its really not hard to get
i guess my tendency to be efficient with purchases probably helps since most of the people with bad credit are probably impulse buying on a credit card
ive missed 2 payments in the 8ish years ive been building credit too
near rune
I got like no idea what my score is or how to check it
I havent had a card for long though but
Also like last week i had to get a doctors meeting but i had no idea how to do it
School should have taught something useful
storm osprey
i use credit karma
its "not 100% accurate" but its always been within 10 points of an official transcript
storm osprey
afaik it can go down because of inactivity

Just bought i9 thinking next battlefield would need crazy amount of cpu considering bf5 does
proud trellis
dont blame u tbh
modern gull
got i7 8700k now synced all cores to 4.7 ghz still getting pretty high usage on certian maps lol
worst map is that underground one
Maybe i just should have tried new cooler to see how far i could overclock
quick locust
yeah i got 8700K too
modern gull
do you have it at default 4.3 ghz?
quick locust
Nope
modern gull
oh what you got it at?
also i only got 120mm aio now cant really clock anymore on that. bought a 240mm with the i9
proud trellis
its like a burger kinda style , the rad is the burger and then the 2 fans are the buns
proud trellis
is it possible to have 4 fans on a 240mm ?
having 2 fans either side of the radiator
supple bane
Yeah
