[torpid talon]

Who's poor soul did you offer to get an XTX

[sonic hare]

It was fucking nerve wrecking yesterday when the sale went live 😂

[torpid talon]

I believe it

[humble lake]

DOGGO!!

Guess who's building his pc tomorrow afternoon because all of his remaining parts arrived today

[sonic hare]

lol good luck with that as well

[echo zephyr]

@torpid talon well yea build cost me less then 1500$ to build lmao plus card plays all games so idc i can always upgrade later

[humble lake]

z*

[inner socket]

i7 11th gen 3070 and 16gb since changed case to lian li evo in white

[untold nebula]

beast

[vital zephyr]

Not rly

But great build!

[still zinc]

since i did rendering with it, it would be impractical to have water coolers since rendering is usually a 24/7 job, so i went with noctua air cooler fans since they are the best.

[inner socket]

not the best but from when i get in 2020 it wasn’t that bad

am slowly changing it tho

[humble lake]

i've them aswell 😂

[frank wing]

Got this bad boy coming tomorrow. All three of my nvme drives are packed tight with games right now. This should solve any storage issues I have for upcoming larger releases for quite a while

[buoyant mulch]

crucial nvme drives work well i got 2 of em in my laptop for like a year, 1 for my windows n 1 for my games

[humble lake]

So uhhh...guess who forgot to order his graphics card and only just realized it

I almost fucked it badly too cus there wasn't a single 3060 ti available for a good price or in stock Luckily I found one on scan for £443 and it's coming on Saturday so hopefully I'll actually be able to build my pc on Sunday

[gentle forge]

#showcase-server-build

[vital zephyr]

this is so cool

is it actually a pc?

[strange condor]

Pls for the love of all that is holy please fix the position of that radiator yu will kill your pump

[sonic hare]

?

[strange condor]

your tubes are below your pump thats bad

you will create air pocets in your pumpwell

NVM its just me sorry for the ping

[sonic hare]

aight 😂

[strange condor]

BTW get a case that is better fot for airflow though and anything else that isnt NZXT if you can

[sonic hare]

was looking at the H7 Flow from NZXT that looks better

[strange condor]

I have a spare case I can let go of providing you wish to pay its shipping

[sonic hare]

looking to upgrade it at some point

[strange condor]

anything that isnt NZXT

[sonic hare]

H7 Flow is fine tho, open front and top

[strange condor]

H7 has a solid front

[sonic hare]

notice the Flow

[strange condor]

yes yes i can calla brinck flow as well doesnt mean it flows air in it

[strange condor]

Wanta good recomendation fo a case

[sonic hare]

Corsair 5000D

[strange condor]

thats a good one but i have one witha bit more modularity

the bequiet 802 silent base

https://www.bequiet.com/en/case/2047

comes with 3 140 MM fans

I baught this case and its predisesor and there frigen great

I still own its predesessor and thats the case im willing to give you as long as youi pay for its shipping

[eternal seal]

NXZT makes good cases, what are you talking about xD

But yeah the AIO should be turned around

The 802, you are forced to remove the HDD cage though these days, a lot of GPUs don't fit in it if you don't.

Iirc GN even said that the meshify 2 series might be a better fit or the coolermaster 500 series, mainly because of the high price the 802 has. Even own BeQuiet 500DX is better value regarding them. In a sense the case is for a specific audience from what I could remember, but has been a bit ago.

[royal sun]

Yes, kinda. It has all the same components as a pc just no graphics card…. Yet. I’ll be getting one soon.

[royal sun]

I wish

[torpid talon]

My recommendation to everyone is the Corsair 4000D/5000D airflow. Looks nice, and performs.

NZXT cases, while looking real tasty, don't usually accommodate enough airflow, until recently ish

[humble lake]

I was looking at getting one of those Corsair cases but opted for the Corsair 7000x

[torpid talon]

Good choice either way

[humble lake]

I was originally going to get the thermaltake level 20 but when i placed the order i didn't actually realize that it was out of stock

[torpid talon]

Why'd you go with an absolute unit lol

[humble lake]

Because I needed a full tower case and it was one of the few that i liked that was in stock xD

Plus I gathered that the bigger the case the more shit you can fit in it ahha

[torpid talon]

Are you watercooling?

[humble lake]

I'll probably be able to post pictures of it on Sunday when I build it with my brother

Yeah

[torpid talon]

Oh makes sense

[humble lake]

Or at least I think we're water cooling, I'm a noob when it comes to building pcs so that's why i'm doing it with my brother

[torpid talon]

You know what the funny thing is. My Corsair Carbide 500R is a mid tower. But it looks like a full

Watercooling is when you have the tubes and pumps

[humble lake]

Half of my shit is corsair so it kinda made sense to also have a corsair case lol

[torpid talon]

If it looks like this - it's watercooled.

(Not mine. Just an example)

[humble lake]

Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler - I'm assuming this is water cooler?

since it has liquid cooler in the name lmao

[torpid talon]

Ah. No. It's the one step down. You have what we call AIO cooling

Which is like a shortcut version of watercooling

[humble lake]

Ohhh

I mean if I need to upgrade to water cooling I will eventually

[torpid talon]

That's a lot of work bro xD.

You may end up putting more into watercooling parts than your entire rig aha

Not to mention watercooling is a lot of maintenance. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but you def need to know what you're doing

[humble lake]

At least the pc will be cooler than me 😂

[torpid talon]

Troooooo

[humble lake]

But yeah if I have to do it, I'll figure it out. I doubt i'll have to do it now tho

I should be fine

....hopefully

[torpid talon]

Yeah you'll be fine. Lol

Just get a bunch more radiators

[humble lake]

lmaoo

This is my first custom build so not only am i giddy i'm like.....this is fine....this will go well....and not blow up

[torpid talon]

Don't jinx yourself

[humble lake]

I mean

We we're gonna build it yesterday but my dumbass forgot to order the gpu lmao

Luckily it arrived this morning aha

[torpid talon]

My first ever build - I had my brother help me...he was plugging in the tiny front panel connectors.

When I powered it on, it immediately started smoking from the mobo

[humble lake]

[torpid talon]

That was his fault. And it set me back 2 weeks and $200

Ree

That was also like 7-8 years ago

[humble lake]

[torpid talon]

Well anyway. I hope your build goes well. Do tag me when you post a pic. Include something for scale lol

[humble lake]

Sure thing 👍🏻

[torpid talon]

I just realized you said Sunday. That's a long time from now

[humble lake]

One whole day I knowww

At least I gave myself permission to unbox and use my new keyboard and mice so

[torpid talon]

Ooh

What'd you get

[humble lake]

Corsair K70 RGB MK2.0 and Corsair Glaive Pro

[frank wing]

I absolutely despise front panel connectors. My case has all the connectors in a block similar to something like a USB 2.0 plug that connects to your motherboard. Makes that part not tedious

[torpid talon]

Damn you really are for everything corsair(tm) lol

[humble lake]

What can I say? I'm a simp for Corsair 😂

[torpid talon]

It's something we can't avoid. But they do try to make it easier. I know what you mean. My old mobo had an all in one connector for it as well

[torpid talon]

I get you though. I simp for Corsair too. My K70 Vengeance keyboard still going stronk

[torpid talon]

That Marshmello is gonna melt.

[mild cosmos]

Waiting on my Govee lights and v1tech wall art and we’ll be almost done 🙂

[torpid talon]

V1tech? That sounds familiar. Are the people who do LED backplates for GPUs?

[mild cosmos]

Pc specs are;
Case: Lian Li 011
AIO: Deepcool 360EX
Cpu: i9-12900k
Mobo: strix z790
Ram: g skill trident ddr4 3600 64gb
Gpu: evga 3080ti xc3 ultra
Storage; (2) 1tb samsung 980 pro m.2
Psu: 1000w gold evga
(9) Lian li sl120 fans

[mild cosmos]

Yep

[torpid talon]

64GBs. What a madlad

[mild cosmos]

Def overkill

I did it for the 4 16gb sticks lmao

[torpid talon]

I did the same tbh. 4 sticks vs 2 looks so much better, even if it's not optimal

I'm sitting on 32, but have been entertaining the idea of 64

[mild cosmos]

Yeah that’s what I was gonna do but I didn’t wanna do sticks of 8

Not with games like tsrkov

[torpid talon]

Wouldn't know. Never played Tarkov

[mild cosmos]

Very resource demanding game lol

Basically caps a 8gb ram stick when it 1440p

At least for me

[chrome pond]

my temps on pc

[abstract bobcat]

@wheat cave

[still zinc]

very foggy picture

is it on fire?

[wheat cave]

No it's just a bad photo of the sun.

[mild cosmos]

Yo fly me out there I’ll fix that cable management

[torpid talon]

Ikr lmao

[abstract bobcat]

Define not.

[abstract bobcat]

The lights bright as fuck

[still zinc]

put a blitz on the camera when you take a pic

[abstract bobcat]

No

[waxen relic]

Is this a Tecware VXR case?

[thorny shoal]

4080

16gb of ram

3 TB of storage

Don’t know what cpu I have

And idk 1200W power supply

my pc isn’t really that impressive except maybe the 4080 that made my wallet bleed

[atomic mirage]

I7-11700kf
Thermaltake cooler

16GB Corsair vengeance 3200

5TB storage - 1TB m.2/2x2TB HDD

MSI gaming X RTX 3050 8GB

Cooler master 1200w PSU

Cooler master storm enforce case

[humble lake]

It's happening, me and my brother are building my pc (although I say me and my brother it's mostly just my brother lmfao)

And he's just said the DDR's won't fit

Now we're missing screws for the motherboard fuck me

Okay we found them jesus christ

[humble lake]

Welp guess who needs to order some ddr 4's instead

[humble lake]

So we're basically half way done with the pc. We have to wait until tomorrow for the DDR4'S to arrive but it'll most likely be Monday or Tuesday before I can post any finished pictures of it

That and I picked a relatively shit case, but at least it has good airflow (it has like 8 fans total lmao) but the Corsair 7000x has lots of useless shit in it and I wish it didn't have tempered glass but oh well

[humble lake]

The pc at the moment

[gentle forge]

I though there was snow on top 😳

[humble lake]

lmaooo

[kindred flint]

I purchased Gaming PC from IBUYPOWER and the fans are making constant noise.

Also, cooling liquid is getting hot when playing on low FPS games with ping over 300

It's like my CPU is over heating for no reason

[gentle forge]

the fans are probably plugs on the PCU, if it the case, yes it will always run at 100%. You can try to plug them directly to the motherboard.

[mild cosmos]

iBuyPower was your first mistake

[violet axle]

My ghetto set up and pc 😅

[still zinc]

you even have feet warmer

[main jay]

@granite whale keep it clean

[granite whale]

feet can be clean tho

[hoary juniper]

my ears 🩸 👂

[granite whale]

believe it or not that pc actually has a gt 1030 now

we went to go pick it up and didnt dust it off because dust is super healthy for gaming pc

[still zinc]

👂 🩸 🙉

[quaint otter]

Ryzen 9 5900x
Red devil Radeon 6900xt
Ram: 64gb 3600
500gb m.2 boot
2tb m.2 fast game storage
4tb hdd bulk game storage

[quaint otter]

Also got these 2 dell poweredges, an r610 and r815

[livid tapir]

64gb 👀

[quaint otter]

the r815 i think has 128

[livid tapir]

Also what brand is the m.2 ssd

I kinda want to buy 2 sticks m.2

2tb each

[quaint otter]

500gb samsung 970 evo
2tb Silicon Power i think a60

https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-Solid-SP002TBP34A60M28/dp/B07ZQ97H3W?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

[livid tapir]

Ah

Tysm

[atomic mirage]

Been there myself man finally got the setup how I want it 🙏

[granite whale]

Dude is really playing ark with a painted griffin diving down lmao

[atomic mirage]

Was watching Mr Meola 🤣👌

[granite whale]

Oh lmao

[granite whale]

You should get an adapter so you can switch to your tv if you wanna play a casual game while laying down like Skyrim and when your gf comes in you can put the controller down and… nvm

Ngl tho your monitor and keyboard is dusty

But the sound system tho

[atomic mirage]

PC is hooked up to the monitor and tv 👌 4K tv but 1080p old asf Samsung monitor 🤣🤣

I'm literally using a 3050 with a display port to DVI cord 🤢🤣

[granite whale]

That’s nothing dude I broke both my 144hz monitors from vr

[atomic mirage]

Ouch

[granite whale]

I swong and hit my main monitor and shattered the screen and the second one was fine

[atomic mirage]

Dam 😬

[granite whale]

Then the second one had my headset on it and the cord got snagged on my gaming chair and I pulled it out and came down and the screen hit the edge of my desk and broke it

All in one night

Now I use a shitty tv and the screen doesn’t fit on it

[atomic mirage]

Atleast there's something to use aye haha

Seen that before go into the tv settings and turn off overscan

[sonic hare]

bruh

[humble lake]

There's too versions of the motherboard, one for ddr5's and one for ddr4's and i assumed i got the ddr5 one but apparently I just can't read 😂

[sonic hare]

F didn't use pcpartpicker to check compatibility?

[humble lake]

i did

but they didn't tell me that LOL

[sonic hare]

big F

[humble lake]

t'is fine, the ram should be arriving in the next hour so

[humble lake]

Y'all the pc is almost done OMFG

Nvm I spoke too soon

The monitor won't register that it's plugged into the pc

[sonic hare]

is it an ultrawide?

[humble lake]

It's fine, we managed to fix it lol

basically the power cables were the wrong way round lmfao

[sonic hare]

how tf

[humble lake]

Yeah I don't know either LOL

[humble lake]

Hopefully we will finish the pc today and I can actually post pictures of it

[humble lake]

For some reason the first post didn't go through,so sorry if I posted this twice

[humble lake]

It is DONE!

[torpid talon]

Looks good my guy

Diggin the color theme

[humble lake]

tysm

the past two days have been a chaotic mess but it's finally done and i'm just

I'm just installing the new mw2 atm to use as a benchmark tester

[torpid talon]

That's the 7000D right?

[iron hollow]

Well done! looks nice :)

[torpid talon]

Now I really wanna upgrade my case lol

But that would also mean transplanting it

[humble lake]

7000x

If you want good airflow this case is pretty poggers for it

but it's a BITCH to set up

[torpid talon]

I'm not spending $300 on a case lmao

[humble lake]

yeah it was a lot

but the tbh the airflow is worth it

everything is sitting at a frosty 30 degrees celsius lmao

[torpid talon]

That's not even an AF case. The front side is glass. It's just good airflow, because the case is big.

[humble lake]

well that and it has six fans xd

[torpid talon]

I mean, with 6x fans, it should be under 30c

Give or take the current room temp.

Either way.

Nice to know your PC's finally alive

[humble lake]

yeah it's very poggies

[torpid talon]

Did you ever link your specs anywhere. I don't think I know what's inside your mini fusion reactor

[humble lake]

oh one sec

[torpid talon]

I expected a more beefy GPU xd

But congrats nonetheless

[humble lake]

tysm

[torpid talon]

Btw. Change your refresh rate to 144, or 265hz, for the love of god 🤣

[humble lake]

144 hz now lol

[torpid talon]

https://tenor.com/view/polydoge-matic-pdoge-polygon-excellent-gif-25276050

[humble lake]

It's so nice having two monitors AAA

[iron hollow]

Don't get an ultrawide like me

Great for studying, terrible for gaming

[humble lake]

oof

I'm so glad everything worked out though

[iron hollow]

Aye :)

[torpid talon]

I'm not a fan of UW lol. (Although I basically have one). I don't like that stretched looked to it

[iron hollow]

You have the same colour scheme as me too

[humble lake]

That was just default scheme lol

[iron hollow]

I just like purple

[humble lake]

same tbh it looks so nice

but it's time to make it gay 😂

[torpid talon]

No. No pls

No Rainbow unicorn barf

[iron hollow]

Rainbow aye?

[humble lake]

yesssss

[iron hollow]

Do itttttt

[torpid talon]

[iron hollow]

[torpid talon]

I need to go sleep Been hanging out here too much lately

[humble lake]

okay nevermind it won't let me so whatever xd

[torpid talon]

[humble lake]

my pc is homophobic apparently

😂

[iron hollow]

Nice

[humble lake]

But the purple is fine lmao

[torpid talon]

Nemo, since you have a PC now, it's only right to give it a name.

[iron hollow]

My PC has a glorious name

But I cannot reveal it

[humble lake]

[torpid talon]

I simply named mine 'Zodiac'

[humble lake]

I haven't named my pc tbh

[torpid talon]

It's the cool thing to do

[humble lake]

It would be something stupid if I do so eh

[iron hollow]

Very well

Oh mine is stupid

It's a tradition from middle school

[torpid talon]

TP4UrBungHole

[iron hollow]

👍 Every PC I have ever owned has been called Waggernaught

[humble lake]

lmaooo

[iron hollow]

I think one was called Waggernaught Jr

[torpid talon]

Going off based on the purple theme - How about Nebula

[iron hollow]

That's a lovely name

[humble lake]

Purple People Eater

[iron hollow]

Love it

But no spaces

[torpid talon]

PP no E

[humble lake]

Sorry it was a drag race reference lmao

[iron hollow]

[torpid talon]

Aight. See y'all later. I'ma go sleep

4am gang

[humble lake]

Aight, sleep well!!

[iron hollow]

Goodnight~

[polar snow]

running 3x monitors. But one is pure for gaming, othe is for easy to swift between or keep discord on.

trash 27 1080p, Main 32 asus 144hz cuved. odyssey g3. 27, 1080p 165hz so I can have discord on. xD

[sonic hare]

what ultrawide is great for gaming

[devout folio]

I love the 21:9 aspect for gaming

[fierce sage]

My PC build :)

Ignore the 1080 ti I’m upgrading it soon

[unkempt current]

noice

[latent lodge]

nice pc my dear, how much did you invest?

[fierce sage]

It’s going to be around 8-10k USD once the 4090 gets back in stock

[polar snow]

1080 ti works perfect still yet.

[inner socket]

interesting choice of name

[fierce sage]

not really, i’m trying to run everything max graphics and 1080ti doesn’t really come through on that anymore

[nocturne sorrel]

the fuck

how many screens does 1 person need

[coarse ibex]

I use 4 for my PC and one for the xbox
Yes i do use all of them

[humble lake]

That pc case is low-key cool but also stupid lmao

[coarse ibex]

it looks amazing but its HUGE haha
I love/hate it

[humble lake]

It's different that's for sure lmao

[coarse ibex]

I have not seen any other PC with this case in person
Only when looking it up and even then its not that common
Plus the fact that AZZA made 4 different versions of the pyramid xD

[humble lake]

I bet it was a pain in the ass to figure the cabling out lmao

[coarse ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/dh9511dh-head-banging-on-the-wall-gif-13355825

[humble lake]

Lolll

[coarse ibex]

I think thats a good explanation

[humble lake]

My pc case was horrible with the cabling so I can't imagine how bad that would be lol

[coarse ibex]

I spent a bit on custom cables from cable mod just for the PSU alone because the stock cables were way to long for this case
ITS BAD

[humble lake]

At least it was worth it aesthetically lmao

[coarse ibex]

YES

exactly

[humble lake]

Love the addition of the two wood planks underneath it lmaooo

[coarse ibex]

bro the PSU sits on the bottom of the PC and vents straight down
Then the intake fans that sit on the bottom, which is the only place to put them, sucks up all that hot air right back into the PC
Add the fact that the PSU is like .5in above my desk, i had to raise it on all 4 corners just to give it more room to breath

[humble lake]

jeez

[coarse ibex]

I actually dont run any hard drives so to speak inside this case
I have a m.2 but besides that i can only run externals
With all the rgb and wires i had to make room
This thing has 3 different "hubs" just to make everyuthing work
has 2 corsair rgb hubs plus a usb connector hub so i can plug in more usb connectors
Plus the cpu cooler has 3 rgb fans on it so they all need to be powered, plus the rgb corsair exhaust fan, plus the 4 corsair rgb strips
Plus the lian li strimmers i have installed xD
all of those wires are carefully sorted and managed on the bottom left side of the case where the hard drives would normally sit
But because there are so many wires there was no way the hard drives would fit

[humble lake]

wow

[coarse ibex]

This case itself has undergone 3 or 4 different builds inside of it within a month when i built it

Old photo of it

What it looks like mostly stripped

Old build mostly together

First photo of the new/now build. I had just got it all put together and was making sure it would power on

Here's how it looked when I was "done" with it

All lit up

[coarse ibex]

^^

[humble lake]

Must've been complete chaos building it lmao

[coarse ibex]

Yes it was because i was learning some stuff along the way of building it and how to build it as well
but now, i can tear this thing down to nothing and rebuild it in probably 6-7 hours
Which sounds like a long time but to me its not. Not a full tear down and rebuild and how complicated it is

[humble lake]

dope

[atomic pawn]

Glad you posted this I was actually looking into swapping over to this case lol

I’m pretty savvy with installs but 6-7 hours is too much for me

[coarse ibex]

I can answer basically all the questions you have on it

[coarse ibex]

Thats including teardown, thats not only in rebuild time

[atomic pawn]

Ah gotcha

[coarse ibex]

Thats me taking everything out of it and going to barebones with just the case and the case alone and putting it all back together
It takes me a long time because i have so many wires

[atomic pawn]

Right on I’ll keep that in mind if I end up going with it

[coarse ibex]

The bottom left open spot here is now full of wires

[atomic pawn]

This is my current case, Keiders brand

[coarse ibex]

I will say this
Its a pain in the butt 100% of the way to build. the angles you have to be at and have to sometimes put the pc at just to get everything to fit make you curse the thing until the day you die xD
Add the fact that its 2ft by 2ft by 2ft and weighs 35ish pounds empty
Its a chonky boi
But it looks amazing when its done right

[coarse ibex]

If you care about airflow and temps stick with your case xD
this thing runs warm compared to other cases haha
Your case seems like the air flows pretty well

[atomic pawn]

Oh chonky indeed, and yeah the airflow is the best I’ve had so far partially due to the 2” gaps on either side

[coarse ibex]

This has slits in the glass along the corners to help air to escape but it still runs warm
my gpu idle temps are mid 30'sC
my cpu idle temps in the 60'sC

[atomic pawn]

My CPU (R9 5900x) hits around 64C MAX

[coarse ibex]

R9 5950x here
And it's because the cpu cooler only does so well but I know it's fine because I've done research and looked into it
I wish I could make it run cooler but cant

[harsh coral]

[coarse ibex]

Thanks

[coarse ibex]

I get that a lot

[sonic hare]

oh another Radeon user

[quaint otter]

my second pc is a Radeon 5700xt

[gentle forge]

for christmas, i'll have RX6600

(+ Ryzen 7 2700)

[sonic hare]

another upcoming friend

[quaint otter]

Congratz! gonna be nice!

[polar snow]

I had at one point a sapphire hd 7970 6gb.. long time ago

[gentle forge]

I like how AMD got over Intel, now competiting against Nvidia

[sonic hare]

at that time i still had a PS3 or 2 😂

[polar snow]

few years ago 😄

[sonic hare]

only Ray Tracing is where Nvidia excells at

[gentle forge]

ye

[quaint otter]

second pc is gonna be
Ryzen 9 3900x
Red devil Radeon 5700xt
Ram: 32gb 3600
2tb m.2 boot
4tb hdd bulk game storage

[sonic hare]

CPU and case is my first part to upgrade but would need a new motherboard and cooler as well then ;-;

[quaint otter]

the second pc is my original build, i have fully upgraded every part of my original pc except my boot drive

[gentle forge]

But what you second PC is for?

[torpid talon]

A backup

I have 2 pcs myself lol

It's also my guest game rig

[gentle forge]

That's a very good idea 👍

But so you need 2 Steam acc??

[quaint otter]

Travel pc, you can use the same steam account across multiple you just can't use at same time

Also to run as a game server cus it's a lot cheaper to run a second pc than my actual servers

[harsh coral]

emergency pc must have powa too xD

[lunar arch]

Not really a competition except in price with new gen. 7900 got way more wattage draw, having mad issues that may or may not be fixed with drivers and all this with lower FPS and no dlss3, reflex or raytracing, which makes it worth the extra 200 gap, so not really a competition. Amd got slaughters in the fact the 7900xtx doesn't even come close to the 4090

Hell I bet the 4070ti beats the 7900xtx

Oh and the 7900 series cant really overclock without issues

[eternal seal]

Intel got back over AMD and they have to act fast, AMD have the worst value new CPUs on the market right now. Also sure in rasterization they do fine, everything else that THEY made mainstream is really bad like really really bad like really really really bad.

FSR is not that great, still has a lot of film grain issues, their RT performance is at least a generation behind, they can't offer something like frame generation yet, they still haven't found a way to even match something simple as reflex which isn't a huge thing, but still allows Nvidia to justify their higher prices.

They have launched the worst valued GPU since the 20 series namely the 7900XT.

[lunar arch]

It just trips me that people think a 107b company can dual compete with two companies for a grand total of 512b worth

[eternal seal]

You can, but you have to be better than this.

[lunar arch]

While amd is fixing their issues, Nvidia is going to be gapping

[eternal seal]

The worst thing I fear right now is that if AMD can't touch Nvidia properly going forward. Then we just get price hike after price hike after price hike.

[lunar arch]

Yup exactly Sall. As someone that is a former head of sales in the tech field, you pretty much dead on what's going to happen

Plus amd did exactly what we bitch at game companies for

They released a unfinished product to rake in money for holiday season

[eternal seal]

What keeps baffling me is that people ofc love an underdog, but they get blinded so easily. Maybe it's my expierence in the economics field that sees through it but cmon. The 7000 launch was so obvious.

How did people expect that a 7900XTX for 1k was going to touch a 4090 that is basically 2k.

[lunar arch]

Yeah it was to get capital to fix the damn card

[eternal seal]

How can they then bash Nvidia for their 4080 naming disaster but then not realise AMD is doing the same and it's even worse...

[lunar arch]

See, I didn't even care about the naming thing

Thats such a weak thing

They got reports it was confusing people so they are rebranding it

[eternal seal]

I can understand that ppl got mad about it, because it didn't made sense. However how can you say nVidIA bad but then AMD omg have my babies !

[lunar arch]

It happens all the time in tech Industry so I guess it wasn't a big deal to me

Especially after twocentzjay's video the other day with mad issues on overclocking the 7900 series

Drawing power from clock speeds to power core clock

Which makes the clock speeds plummet hard

It's a terrible trade off

[eternal seal]

Yeah that is just weird, idk how they manage to achieve that if not on purpose for stability reasons but even then... 3rd parties didn't as far as I could see.

[lunar arch]

Yeah because 3rd parties generally fox reference card issues

But the fact it persisted on the proto and then the reference, that speaks on amd

They legit couldn't afford to miss Xmas sales

[eternal seal]

They are financially fine, but means someone pushed at the top to get the stock higher which idk why because you can't atm.

[lunar arch]

You realize amd is projected to lose 1.1b in their pc revenue

They projected this themselves

[eternal seal]

It's fine, they can handle it pretty easy

[lunar arch]

I don't think so. I think they are more fragile than people give credit for

[eternal seal]

They aren't at all xD

They are fine as a company and made more than enough

[lunar arch]

Their embedded and data center segments are the only thing keeping them floating >.>

[eternal seal]

It's more than that really

[lunar arch]

I've read their report

[eternal seal]

They have nearly over 10B in just pure cash laying around.

[lunar arch]

Eh I won't be buying any amd stocks with a growth score of C

[eternal seal]

Every company is going to lose big end of this year or 2nd half of next year.

You should be buying funny enough rather soonish.

[lunar arch]

Nope

They got a momentum score of D

I got other better prospects

[eternal seal]

The scores don't mean much btw xD

[lunar arch]

I made 250,000 last year due to stocks

[eternal seal]

We are in a middle of an economical crisis, there isn't going to be 1 single company that will do well externally.

[lunar arch]

I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to picking my companies

Lol

Amd won't be one of them

[eternal seal]

My family owns a nearly 3B worth of investment firm.

I think I know what I am doing when it comes to stocks.

Right now in an odd way is a perfect time to get into stockmarkets, because the moment you can gain the most is in middle of a financial or instable period.

[lunar arch]

Yeah well I don't see amd going no where near their high

Especially with the product they putting out

[eternal seal]

Eeeh they will be fine, I mean you think Nvidia is ever going back to 700 ?

[lunar arch]

I don't have stock in nvidia either

[eternal seal]

Odd, because that's a very very very safe bet

[lunar arch]

I'm not dumb enough to buy stock in a cpu or gpu company lol

One very bad launch can drop shit

Same with phone companies and such

[eternal seal]

Well it's 1 of the easiest way to make money, gaming as a whole is.

[lunar arch]

Cannabis is my jam

[eternal seal]

You do realise that when you get those drops, you actually have to buy in right ?

[lunar arch]

Yeah I know that lol

But amd hitting their high will be some gamestop shit

Idk, I find companies that have regular product launches for consumers, are often too erratic for my tastes

[eternal seal]

Is also where you will gain the most, if you want something calmer then it's just best for long term and not even a couple of months long term.

Speaking of possibly a couple of years.

[heady crown]

Hia

[lunar arch]

Yup, I mostly do so in real estate

[eternal seal]

Interesting choice when you have a big bubble ready to explode at any moment.

[lunar arch]

Especially with the market here in Florida

Florida is unique lol

[eternal seal]

It will be the same as everyone else in such occasion

[lunar arch]

Due to covid and DeSantis not shutting down

Everyone is moving here

Houses are constantly being built

Growth is insane

[eternal seal]

That doesn't decide any of the value

[lunar arch]

I plan to get out of it in like 2 years though

[eternal seal]

It can worsen it

[lunar arch]

Umm

[eternal seal]

Constantly building is pretty bad for the business, especially when you at the bottom can no longer hold it.

[lunar arch]

I bought a house for 79000 and in 3 years since covid started, my property is now worth 345k

[eternal seal]

Yep that's called in middle of a bubble.

[lunar arch]

Yeah I love middle of real estate bubble since houses are selling like candy atm

[eternal seal]

Just wait a couple years, most likely not that long and it will half in it's value if not more.

[lunar arch]

I don't see a sellers market ending in florida for 4 years. Going to sell everything off in 2.5

[eternal seal]

Will be most likely too late, because that bursting already has happened xD.

[lunar arch]

Maybe, but I personally don't see it happening that rapidly in florida

But anyways, yeah amd isn't touching nvidia for awhile

[eternal seal]

Sure it's being half patched here and there, but economies are on downward spirals, when they are then buying power decreases when that decreases then spending decreases when that decreases economy goes further down. With then an already way too big of a bubble too it will cause a ripple effect through different industries including real estate will most likely get a hard time this time. Too many smaller ones trying to profit from a high point, but none of them will survive it which will lead to massive amount of cancellations and loan payment issues which will just collapse the entire thing nearly overnight when it happens.

And with being already at the start of it, I mean 2.5 years is a long time xD.

[lunar arch]

Hopefully it won't be as bad as 08 with sub quality mortgages

And yeah I'm obviously willing to drop before then, I just really don't see florida realty collapsing so soon

Especially since I just flip and don't hold the houses long

I just want to get out of realty period in 2.5 years. It's a fkn pain

I prefer bonds ultimately

[eternal seal]

Well, economical crisis wise it will be way worse than 2008, main reasons for it is that 2008 was self inflicted that could have been prevented. This one though should have been prevented a couple years ago and it has set us to the path which we have been way past the point of no return.

A very very easy sign to economical crisis is when investors start to pull out en mass and start to invest en masse in the USD.

[lunar arch]

I got quite a bit of stock in Zoominfo and QuidelOrtho Corporation

Considering Broadcom as well

I think these 3 companies are very well suited to weather the recession

And been impressed with MRFOX mutual fund this year

[eternal seal]

Personally I think Ortho is an awkward choice because their entire rise of the why has kinda fizzled away. Personally I would put that as a hold, which will be the best one even though I know a bunch of ppl that has it as buy which I find a bit strange personally. Zoominfo as long you can get it below 40 it's probs a buy. I would say away from Broadcom entirely personally because of their issues xD.

Broadcom spiked since their aquisition announcement, however most likely will fail which means a large downwards spike incoming.

[lunar arch]

They are my recession proof choices to be honest. Broadcom is actually due to their semiconductor division. I have a strong feeling it can ride out a recession. Also I'm not the only one. Bernstein thinks so too lol

[eternal seal]

It can maybe ride out a recession but it defo can't the EU.

[lunar arch]

They also haven't really had a chip shortage like others either

Which has been growing their market share nicely

[eternal seal]

They are under a very large scale investigation, the 2nd time EU has done this on this scale.

[lunar arch]

Ah

Also saleforce

[eternal seal]

And a thing you learn from living within the EU and dealing with it from a business standpoint: When they file something you are screwed xD.

[lunar arch]

I feel enterprise level software is recession proof for the most part

So like zoom info, Salesforce and etc

That's where most of my stocks are anyways since I used to be in the POS, enterprise level e-commerce and credit card processing field

[eternal seal]

Well any stock that has a service or product that will stay in the same demand will be good.

[lunar arch]

Companies have to have point of sales

They have to have cc processing

And most have to have websites to market

So a company like Fortis

[eternal seal]

Like a little company from my area that you might have heard of... Johnson pharmaceutica is usually a very very very safe stock in recessions to just hang around a bit.

[lunar arch]

They will continue to earn in a recession

I don't buy stocks in pharma

I support cannabis

They try to make it illegal

Plus keep cures to keep selling treatments

[eternal seal]

THen something like pepsi or cola or microsoft even, something large and never will run out of demand.

[lunar arch]

I do t put any money in pharmas

[eternal seal]

Unilever is also a great one

[lunar arch]

Yeah Microsoft and Apple I was considering

There is also this robotic company based in japan

[eternal seal]

Unilever is 1 that a lot of (not personal) amateur investors underestimate.

[lunar arch]

Miso Robotics

I'll look into unilever

[eternal seal]

If you don't know what it is...

[lunar arch]

I got stocks in Ingersoll as well

[eternal seal]

Think of a brand like any food brand, you have a 80 % chance Unilever owns it.

[lunar arch]

It's a robotics company that's been seeing nice advancements and growth

[eternal seal]

Just be careful with robotics, they can sometimes be weirdly volatile xD

[lunar arch]

Oh I know lol

I've lost before

But I was very selective with robotics this time

My cannabis stock is trulieve

And that stock has been doing amazing

[eternal seal]

Well I think no one has ever invested in any stock without losing at some point, it's the time where you learn.

[lunar arch]

You actually want to know the one thing that made me a lot of money

It was absolutely stupid it did

And I'm so glad I sold immediately when it did

And I really have to thank Elon for smoking weed on Joe rogans podcast and all his other antics

Dogecoin

[eternal seal]

Musk used to be great in making money, because he is a master stock manipulator... until he met Twitter then he made a mistake.

[lunar arch]

Shit went from .000043 when I bought to like 45 cents when I sold

You know what. Honestly

[eternal seal]

Like none of his companies actually make money, none of them also actually have a succesfull project perse. All his money and sales is by licenses and just market manipulation.

[lunar arch]

I think his whole mission is to run Twitter in the ground and just for it to be a joke to the point no one uses it

He spent that money to spite dorsey

[eternal seal]

Nah he was forced to buy Twitter, he basically just wanted to manipulate the stock but Twitter investors said nope you will buy it because have to by law.

[lunar arch]

Which fun fact, Elon started off in credit card processing

[eternal seal]

He was never meant to buy it.

[lunar arch]

Working for the OG company that became square

Who happens to have the same ceo as twitter

They kicked him out of the cc company

He had a bone to pick with Dorsey that led to the whole Twitter episode

[eternal seal]

The thing now with Musk is basically you should stay away as far as you can now from his shit.

[lunar arch]

I have zero stocks of his. I bought the dogecoin as a joke never expecting profit

[eternal seal]

When you have every major investor writing you a letter to shut up and step down then you got exposed for the manipulation xD.

[quaint otter]

some interesting pc builds..

[eternal seal]

You can buy pc's with it

[lunar arch]

Yup, we invest so we can buy high end pcs

We are teaching you how to make free money to post dope pc builds here

My entire pc was built on dividends haha

Plus when I posted my pc, no one cares because of some pyramid build haha

[quaint otter]

also the third party 7900 cards have the same issue they just arent reporting the drop in memory frequency. but the mem controller will drop load if the core frequency gets pushed up

[lunar arch]

It's not showing on some cards in adrenalin

They might not be reporting, but they can't just change the stats in adrenalin

Some brands have the issue, some dont

[quaint otter]

same Flow, i post my build and no one cared. did you watch the follow up video? Jay used a 3rd party and he was able to see

[lunar arch]

Yes but he uses a brand card at the end of first video too

That didn't do it

Just depends how much money the brand put into fixing the card pr if they cared to since the reference cards had it

[quaint otter]

it still had similar performance drops it just didnt show that it was dropping the frequency, but using a 3rd party software it drops the load on the controller from 30% to 20% while keeping the frequency

[lunar arch]

That's why I think it's a hardware issue that won't be fixed with a driver

Even though every amd fan boy says it will be

But it comes down to the fact that now amd has to use resources to fix the card while nvidia is pushing ada to its limit and releasing the 4090 ti next year

That I'm sure will blow away the 7950 cards

[quaint otter]

i feel like it its a mix, i think its a big scheduling problem that they have had on a few of their products now but there is more than likely hardware issues with the new design

[lunar arch]

Afterburner?

I haven't watched the 2nd video yet

[quaint otter]

Gpu-z

the 3rd partys are having a similar issue just reporting different which is what is making me believe its software with some handwear

[eternal seal]

That's means it's by amd design lol

[quaint otter]

yes

i am not defending them, but i am a fanboy so i understand my view is biased

[eternal seal]

For the fact you say you are a fanboy makes you by default not a fanboy

[quaint otter]

its getting pretty annoying that both are releasing with bad drivers, but at least NVidia will quickly put out new drivers where amd sits on their hands for months

[eternal seal]

Nvidia drivers are fine though.

[quaint otter]

yea but on release of new cards they have issues for the first like 24hrs, they are so much better fixing driver problems

amd will go like 6+ months for their "stable" release and put out like 3 "experiential" drivers in that time

[eternal seal]

What issue did the 4090 have as a driver?

[quaint otter]

its just not fully optimized, reviewers said they had some issues with early builds but the update is pushed within the first 24hours of release so its not a consumer problem. this is less to state Nvidia bad and use it as a point of comparison to prove amd slacking

[eternal seal]

Maybe because they release drivers on launch day xD

There was an issue with the driver though, but not for the 40 series.

If you owned a 30 or 20 series and updated to 525, windows would use all the resources of your GPU for an unknown reason.

[lunar arch]

They even rolled out dlss3 support for the 30 series hella fast, just don't get the frame gen part the 40 series does

[eternal seal]

I tested Frame gen and it's pretty amazing tbh, the latency isn't bad at all with the games that supported it.

[lunar arch]

Because they generally have reflex

Like gotham knights, plague requiem and such

[eternal seal]

But AMD unboxed told me that it was really really bad

[quaint otter]

yea, again i wasnt using it to say they were bad, i just was trying to point out that they, unlike amd, push out drivers so much quicker especially when issues are found. like i said with amd i had over half a year on the same driver cus they dont push updates to their "stable" build

[lunar arch]

Yeah we got you Death lol

We know you aren't debating

[eternal seal]

Well I used to moderate for a couple of games, A lot of times like A very lot of times every time AMD pushed a driver update we would have a massive spike of report tickets.

[lunar arch]

Plus someone saying amd is better atm is just making themselves look stupid lol

[eternal seal]

I think they are better in a way, they just fall flat where it actually matters :/.

[lunar arch]

I only care about where it matters lol

[eternal seal]

As you defo should, but it's just a shame because that will leave them falling behind which is going to be so bad for us.

[lunar arch]

That's like being married but the sex being total crap and unsatisfactory

[quaint otter]

also i fuckin hate that by defualt their cards dont go able 60% fan speed on some cards, on my old 5700xt it wouldn't go above 45% fan @ 100 degrees, used to crash all the time

[eternal seal]

Like I don't have financial trouble to drop like 1.5k on a GPU, but that isn't a normal thing and shouldn't have to be. They showed with the 30 series it doesn't have to be at all tbh.

[lunar arch]

I sell ball pythons lol I sell one baby snake and I got my 4080 lol

[eternal seal]

I got it for 900 xD

Got a MSI 4080 x trio for that.

[lunar arch]

Hell yeah. I've never gone all out on my gpu so this time I am

Suprim

I just bought the z690 edge and I run a msi cooler

[eternal seal]

If you want to go all out then just go ROG strix, that extra 300 USD will matter for the extra 2 fps

[lunar arch]

Got to add suprim for the final look

Yeah but I'm staying consistent with my theme

Though I did just get rid of my msi 650w for a Asus strix 850w

[eternal seal]

I usually like the corsair PSUs myself, are just easy to use and their custom sleeved cables are pretty nice for a major company.

[lunar arch]

I won't buy corsair jack and I use cable extensions so I don't even see the og sleeves lol

When it comes to psu, I only buy SeaSonic, Asus Strix (because it's built using SeaSonics GX platform), EVGA Supernova T2s and msi a***gf series for msi challenge build

I'm waiting on some new cable mods though to go with the new psu

[torpid talon]

I don't remember Nvidia saying they would push out DLSS3 for the RTX30 cards

As far as I know, it's only exclusive to RTX4 cards

[quaint otter]

Originally yes, then they back tracked

[torpid talon]

Ima need some sources and cites

[eternal seal]

They partially added it in the 225 update, which caused the GPUs to break at first.l

When ppl tried it for real, because it's nothing more than enable it in a file for 20 and 30 series. It ran extremely unstable, so I doubt we will ever get full support.

[unreal dove]

The start of my pc getting custom painted

[wheat cave]

Why did you put that on the carpet?

[lunar arch]

Nope and it's easy to Google it. They released support for in a driver when plague requiem released. I can pull the nvidia article itself

[wheat cave]

It sounds like a real Nvidia move though...

[shell karma]

pro tip put your pc case on something that keeps it lifted off the ground especially if your floors are carpets because if you put it on the carpet and turn it on your intake fans will sucking all the dust and particles that sticks to your carpet and the inside of your pc will get covered in dust and stuff witch will cause your pc to get hotter and cause performance drops as well as other more serious issues

[lunar arch]

He said he was about to customize the case

I think he had it on the floor just for the picture

And was probably about to start putting painters tape on it

[shell karma]

lets hope that's the case

[lunar arch]

Everyone thinks mine is on the floor lol

[quaint otter]

is that an elite or just a regular @lunar arch ?

[lunar arch]

Which

[quaint otter]

the xbox one controller

[lunar arch]

It's the 20th anniversary special edition. I use my elite sometimes

[quaint otter]

ah oki oki, i love the elite version 2 and the ability to change the light color

[lunar arch]

It's usually in the other room though with the series x

Yeah it's pretty amazing

Had to get the msi controllers since I suck at charging shit and sometimes 2 people play on the xbox

They aren't bad for 30

[quaint otter]

nice nice i was thinking about getting the razer wolverine just to comp to the elite

[lunar arch]

I ended up not liking the feel of them and the v2 chromas are a pretty penny

At that point. I'd just buy another elite lol

Br able to use it on the pc and xbox

[quaint otter]

fair enough, whats them specs on that pc?

[lunar arch]

Mobo: MSi Z690 Edge
CPU: i5 12600KF OC'd
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaw V 3600 CL16
Storage: MSi Spatium NVMe 1tb
GPU: MSi Ventus 2x 3060 Ti LHR OC'd
AiO: MSi Mag Core Liquid C240
PSU: Asus Strix 850w Gold
Case: Metallic Gear Neo Air

Upgrading to the Lancool 3 and Arctic Freezer II 360 around March

[quaint otter]

love that ram got the same kit 64gb, 16x4

[lunar arch]

But temps run about 70 on the cpu with the c240 aio after a 15 hour burn in test

Yeah I'm looking to eventually get some TeamGroup Xtreems 3600 cl14

But not sure since I'm looking to upgrade my cpu when 14th gen comes out and then probably get a ddr5 mobo

That pic with the table is old though, here is the updated with the edge

Gpu is sagging a bit, I rotated the aio and didn't expect that much pressure on it so got a support bracket coming

[quaint otter]

i swapped from a cooler master masterliquid lite 240 to a deepcool ak620 tower.

[lunar arch]

The tubes before would have blocked the msi dragon logo on the edge

Yeah see, I play to get a 14th gen i9 kf. No air cooler is going to handle that

I'm even considering going from the freezer 360 to the 420

[quaint otter]

um actually have you seen the air cooler they made just for cooling i9s

[lunar arch]

Then all that will be left is slapping a 4090 in it and done

Yeah but it isn't touching the i9 13900kf OC'd

Much less a 14th

Unless they find a way to bring down the heat of that cpu

[quaint otter]

i cant find the video but i remember it was either 12th or 13th gen i9 on air with similar performance to a 360 rad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeQX1uhb0iQ

this thing

honestly its a bit cheaper too

[lunar arch]

eh I like the look of aios too lol

I dont like some chucky ass thing in the center of my build

[quaint otter]

fair, in my build the air tower looks better

[lunar arch]

im putting a suprim x in it

that will be the centerpiece

[quaint otter]

My cabling is so bad XD

I should have turned on the rgb on my psu

[lunar arch]

raijintek?

[quaint otter]

?

[lunar arch]

the case looks like one of their cases

[quaint otter]

nah its Kediers

[lunar arch]

i suck at cabling too as well

[quaint otter]

imma be getting this one whenever i decide to put my other pc into a case

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B65JCS4C/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3J87EZYZJW4GN&psc=1

[lunar arch]

im just lucky mine has a back panel

and my rule is, as long as the panel shuts, fk it

[quaint otter]

mine does too just doesnt have a basement

i want the tank but its so expensive

[lunar arch]

Thats the Raijintek Eris Evo for me

[quaint otter]

https://www.amazon.com/EEKBNEJQ-Motherboard-air-Cooled-Water-Cooled-Dissipation/dp/B09HZP1HT9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=tank+pc+case&qid=1671661858&s=electronics&sprefix=tasnk%2Celectronics%2C73&sr=1-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.ac2169a1-b668-44b9-8bd0-5ec63b24bcb5

yes.. but tank

[lunar arch]

https://www.raijintek.com/en/products_detail.php?ProductID=124

[quaint otter]

reminds me of the old Corsair 1000D

[lunar arch]

5 fans front and back. 420 aio up top and 6 fans on the back panel

[quaint otter]

this one can hold a bit more

2 420s and 2 360s

[lunar arch]

yeah but I wont buy shit from corsair lol

[quaint otter]

why not?

[lunar arch]

because there is better products at same cost

or just as good products at lower cost

and I really hate best buy builds

[quaint otter]

fair fair, i love my k70 and Corsair Scimitar mouse but i got them thru amazon referb

[lunar arch]

peris is alright from them. I mainly mean pc building components

if one more dweeb puts the corsair aio in a build, ill probably jump off a cliff

that aio is so bad

[quaint otter]

ah yes yes, the love the keyboards and mice

i didnt see in the photo but do you got a headset or stand alone mic and headphones

[lunar arch]

Headset is on the monitor

Box is the one closest to pc

[quaint otter]

ah okay

[lunar arch]

Gh50 msi

Can you tell I love my msi?

[quaint otter]

couldnt even guess

[lunar arch]

Lol however, my bias only goes so far. I realize all companies put out good and bad products

[quaint otter]

i got dt770 pros and at2020 going though a Scarlett solo

[lunar arch]

That's why I got the c240 instead of the 240r aio that had a recall lol

Yeah my headsets aren't the greatest but once my pc is finally upgraded where I'm done for like 5 years, I'm getting myself some vocals

[quaint otter]

lol fair fair. my aio was just dying so i went with the ak620

[lunar arch]

People kinda sleep on msi's aio though

It held my cpu to 70 degrees max with overclock on 15 hour stress test

An i5 12600kf

[unreal dove]

@wheat cave the bottom of the pc has legs and I ain't got a desk for it yet

[quaint otter]

deepcool is just the cheaper version of a noctua and i havent really done a fair stress test but my 5900x hasnt gotten into the 70s

[lunar arch]

Deep cool isn't a slouch

I rec their ak400 to people often

[quaint otter]

yea theyre so solid

[lunar arch]

Hey, wanna head to dms? I wouldn't mind talking more

[quaint otter]

sure

[lunar arch]

I'm waiting for them to fuss lol

Added another 32 gigs of ram to the system. Sad that I had to drop my xmp speed by 400mhz, but now all my ram slots are populated, and I don't really think 400mhz is going to make that big of a difference

[lunar arch]

It does In overclocking as 2 sticks make it easier to get higher speeds and lower latency stable, especially for high end amd

[wheat cave]

Wait you play on the floor?

[unreal dove]

No my pc is on the floor and it's hooked up to my TV that's on a small table

[shell karma]

rip feel sorry for your pc good luck cleaning out all the dust inside your pc

[unreal dove]

It's difficult getting things when you have a 9 month old baby

[shell karma]

i see well you dont have to buy anything you just need something that is clean you can put the pc on top of so its is lifted off the ground a bit about 4 or 5inches so your your front intake fans dont suck in all the dust from the floor

aslong as its not directly on the floor it will be fine

[unreal dove]

The legs on it are working enough

[hard echo]

I literally just have a board under mine, similar legs as that one but yeah just so its not directly on carpet as i cant fit a desk/etc

[unreal dove]

So far the furthest I've had to go is clean the mesh

[shell karma]

since you have a baby i would recommend baby proofing your pc cables and electrical ports just to be safe if the baby can get to the cables or electrical ports it can cause harm to your baby just saying because people always forget to baby proof there pc cables and ports

[unreal dove]

I'm gonna be hiding it next to my TV then it's covered from all sides

[hard echo]

My previous case didnt have feet so the board was the only thing keeping it from being in the carpet...when i switched i kept the board for stability and such. Currently mine sits under my tv mounted on the wall at the foot of my bed maybe a 2ft clearence between pc and bed. But i have a full tower so its kinda massive

[shell karma]

cool congrats on the new baby btw and have a merry Christmas and happy gaming

[torpid talon]

I am judging you however, on your cable management

[polar snow]

no idea, I heard it from Youtube: Gamer Meld ,talking about it.

[harsh coral]

there was rumors about nvidia had to stop testing cuz the cards destroyed power supplys and itself but that was awhile ago already

[quaint otter]

well lets see yours then

[torpid talon]

[quaint otter]

Bruh I'm at work still. 2 more hours

[mystic wadi]

I need to clean up xp

[harsh coral]

i think i can easly top that XD

#cablecringe XD

[frank wing]

If you can't see it, it doesn't exist, so everything behind the cable management shame bar isn't there

I actually don't need to clean up my desk. I bought this desk specifically to keep cables as minimal as possible

"Asus Breaks World Record by Overclocking Core i9-13900K to 9GHz"

250 is casual shit

I keep my 13900 capped at 5.4. The fact they were able to get it to 9 fricking ghz is ludicrous

You have to remember that they disable everything except 1 core to get those runs.

Broly BR?

[latent lodge]

people from the server I'm hoping to be summoned to the barracks, I'm Brazilian and the salary of the military here is very good and when I go to build my pc I would love for someone to give me some tips for me to build a pc with power and performance already that I don't know the correct parts, but of course it will take time and a lot of effort on my part to be able to accumulate enough capital to build a good pc

[latent lodge]

yes lol i'm brazilian and fan of dragon ball

but my name is gabriel and i'm 18 years old

[main jay]

don't buy prebuilts, gaming laptops are not ideal, use pcpartpicker.com, good air cooling is good enough, get a PSU with a good rating and above the needed wattage, always use the PSU cables that came with the PSU you'll be using, if you're getting an M.2 make sure the stick key and the slot types match, get matching RAM sticks, enable XMP in BIOS for better RAM performance, don't let your PC get dusty or dirty, don't put a glass case (or any at all if you can) PC on the floor

[harsh coral]

my main-system named "fusion hell", i got a fireeffect on the lights thats why it looks abit uneven. with 3d-printed parts, used for games, 3d and rendering

12700k, 3090, 64gb ram and 6,5tb ssd-storage

[humble lake]

me too

[latent lodge]

ok, I got it

[latent lodge]

nice pc guy

thanks for the tips guys, maybe if i save as much as i can until 2024 i can have enough money to build a super pc gamer

I'm a very patient guy with material things so I don't see a problem with taking a while before I can set up my pc

[harsh coral]

well i buy a new pc when iam not really satisfied with the 3d stuff, but now with 24gb vram i wont need a new pc for a few years plus the renderspeed with the 3090 is insane compared to the 2080 wich i had in this system before

optix wich uses the rt-cores renders like 10 times faster

if i only need a pc for gaming i would still use the 2080 wich i do on my sec pc and probably a 5600x or 5800x and 32gb of ram

and the dumb youtubers that want like 300fps and more where i think why the hell i need 300+ fps for gaming, wasting more energy, shorter lifespan of the components and heat wich sucks in summer. i dont know much ppls that play competitive pvp stuff wich is pretty obsolete nowdays with ai-aim

[vestal flower]

[daring cliff]

Mostly Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, but I want to try MS Flight Sim. Don't have the most free time, but... i ll do it soon hopefully

[iron hollow]

Ahhh, I was wrong then. Though it was MS Flight Sim

Hopefully you will get a nice weekend to yourself or something to try it out

Crazy.

[eternal seal]

Personally should have invested in better headphones , especially when you already have a standalone anyway.

[jolly egret]

One of the best headsets in the market, got them for $199, that and they came in white. That, and personally, I think they are the best. Love them. Thanks for your input.

[eternal seal]

Your opinion is all fine by me because sound is subjective, but then shouldn't say "one of the best in the market" They are like at the high end of the gaming category but nowhere close to headphone quality 😛

[jolly egret]

Cool

[eternal seal]

Own (don't use it anymore myself) a pair of them myself and they are really artificial and also just too heavy distorting sound especially at the mid and high levels of the sound. Unless you are 1 of the lucky ones that for some reason received better ones which is known in the serries. Is most likely why rtings refuse to give them above a high 7.

[mystic wadi]

Wich headset are you using then if you dislike this one if i had an optical port on my pc i would still use my turtle beach elite 800 but i dont so it keeps connected to the ps4 and now im using the razer blackshark v2 pro but my kids break it so its in the shop for repairs so i decided to give the steelseries arctis 7+ a try its not bad but its to much depending on sonar to give you good sound and i find it hard to get the good sound or at least a good midway for all games so now im playing games with spatial on for all single player games to get the emmersive sound and for shooters im using settings i copied from some other guys

[sage trout]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WMY6Zw

This is my build

[eternal seal]

Using some sennheiser 600 series, is pretty neutral in sound, are open back and has extreme detail. So even the soft sound details will be picked up by then all around you in gaming. It's levels are really accurate too and has no artificial sound or like most gaming brands boosted bass. So sound stage stays wide and accurate.

But best advise I can give you is stay away from gaming brands, they have no clue how sound works. Take the headset mentioned by the other guy. That was 350 on launch, it gets demolished entirely in sound and mic quality by the game one which was 100 to 150 ish.

Same as me, but I do it with clothes

[slender shard]

Meh, worked 1200 hours of overtime/double time this year. Needed to splurge.

[abstract bobcat]

How in the world does someone accrue that much overtime

[slender shard]

Working for the utilities fixing high voltage electricity. Rarely an instance where we just work straight time. Always something to fix, build or respond to lol.

12 hour days feel like 8 hour days and average days are 16-18 hours 6 days a week.

[abstract bobcat]

Eesh.

I hope you get some nice long days off.

[slender shard]

Yup, nows that time 😂. MW2 for the next 4 days.

Most likely was a better choice atm xD

Even though neither is that great.

4090 is pretty good, just expensive 😂
