ROG strix are just their premium boards that look flashy etc, but a lot of times has similar power deliveries etc while maybe having like 1 or 2 extra slots and 5 extra ports on the back that probs no one needs. Oh and don't forget the flashy error code that is defo worth 100 USD more.

[blissful anvil]

Thx for the info

And 70C-75C celcius is high for cpu and gpu ?

[drowsy rapids]

The best way to pick a board is basically: What do I need from my board, what features does it need and how many ports does it need to have if all those are checked and nothing extra then congrats you didn't overpay

Nope perfectly fine

CPU only should worry if you get to 90C, GPU probs about mid 80s I would start to worry.

[static elbow]

hmmm

[cloud horizon]

I have a z490-a pro (ms-7c75) motherboard which means that the RTX 4080 GPU that I just got in the mail will cause my Intel core i9-10850K CPU to bottleneck

So now I have to buy a new CPU and a new motherboard to use the new RTX 4080 GPU....do I need a new PSU as well????

[drowsy rapids]

Would help if you would mention what psu you have.

Should have at least a 850watts imo.

[cloud horizon]

My PSU is a 750 Watt Power Supply

[cloud horizon]

I really don't want to spend more money on a new CPU and motherboard.... I would rather prefer to keep the new GPU and just use it to perform heavy GPU gaming tasks because I only use my computer to download anime and play video games with high resolution graphics

[cloud horizon]

Is this everything I need to upgrade or is there more????

I'm assuming I can move everything else I need from the old motherboard onto the new motherboard

Hello guys

Someone know from where I can purchase a brand new RTX 3090 24GB? (NON OC and NON TI)

Asus TUF or MSI GAMING X or Zotac Trinity

[sacred moat]

I just can't find them brand new:/

[smoky shuttle]

AFAIK everyone has discontinued 3090 production because NVIDIA quit distributing the chips to force 4090/4080 sales.

[blissful anvil]

Unfortunately,go and find SH but be careful

[blissful anvil]

Really ?

Sad

Coil Whine on video card is a bad thing ?

[smoky shuttle]

Just annoying

It won't make a difference to performance

[dim osprey]

[dim osprey]

Ay then

[blissful anvil]

gl

[lean socket]

Looking to upgrade my ram but don’t know witch one to get anyone can help?

[tame fractal]

Corsair

Also depends what speeds your motherboard supports and how much I can support

[crimson forge]

My RAM is HyperX. Works fine, got 16gigs for less than $30

[calm birch]

I just want to make sure I am reading this right, as I am new to building/upgrading my rig. The only additions I made were the 4070ti and the kingston ram, everything else is my "factory" build. I just want to make sure I am reading it right that there are no compatibility issues, thanks (Also tower is a rando bc it didnt have the allied gaming stinger case but its almost exactly the same.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QByGW4

[tame fractal]

Use a different cpu cooler

[calm birch]

the one I have wasnt listed either, this was a custom build from allied, and I am swapping out parts, alot of their parts are "Allied Gaming (insert part name)" So idk really what my cpu cooler fan is

i really just wanna make sure the gpu is compatible with my motherboard

[upper karma]

so i am i have been messing about with custom builds on box and i just wanted someone to take a look and see if its right

and is it worth going from the RTX 3070Ti to the RTX 4070Ti OC

[sacred moat]

It depends on what you do

If you like to play the latest game at full FPS full graphics, ye, why not.

If you want to do AI / rendering, its also good

but else, the 3070Ti is very good :/

[upper karma]

streaming on yt and twich at the same time playing the newest games at the highest without DDLS

[sacred moat]

Oh ye

If you encode with the GPU, it might help

[upper karma]

so i heard the RTX 4070Ti OC has more GPU memory then the RTX 4080 and what about the 128GB of ram is that too much

[upper karma]

how would i go about doing that

[sacred moat]

Ye, you could go with 64GB RAM

(2 * 32 for dual ram)

[sacred moat]

Are you using OBS?

[upper karma]

ya i use OBS

[sacred moat]

k wait

[sacred moat]

In settings, you have the Encode option (for both Streaming and Recording), and you should put it to Hardware.

Software will use the CPU, while hardware the GPU.

[upper karma]

k one sec

[sacred moat]

I think that you should take HEVC, but Im not sure at all

But take NVENC for sure

Ok, so I think that for the moment, you should use H.264

[upper karma]

okay sweet will the 12 core need water cooling

[sacred moat]

cause Twitch doesnt handle HEVC well yet

[upper karma]

thats what it is on

[sacred moat]

ok

[sacred moat]

I dont think so. If you have a good airflow, it should do the job.

[upper karma]

but water cooling will just be overkill

[sacred moat]

It depends

[upper karma]

on?

[sacred moat]

water cooling can kill a CPU / Motherboard if wrongly installed

I remember of a "Lasagna Stream", where a streamer have done lasagna on stream

and when he started eating the lasagna with his friend, his computer started doign weird noises

he touched the AIO, and it was burning

the CPU were at 110°C

[upper karma]

they custom make the pc

[sacred moat]

Ye

[upper karma]

https://tenor.com/view/that-hot-thats-hot-thats-hot-flipped-that-hot-flipped-that-hot-inverted-gif-19052204

[sacred moat]

x)

But so the problem was because of how he installed the AIO

the pump was in a wrong position

and so the pump coudlnt handle this.

but so normal fan cooling would handle well the thing

[upper karma]

and water cooling is over kill?

[sacred moat]

since most of the process (the game + encoding) will move on the GPU, the CPU will have less tasks to do / it will less fry

[sacred moat]

Probably

[upper karma]

when i am in games my CPU sits at about 75-86

[sacred moat]

what's your cpu rn?

[upper karma]

AMD 5900x 12 core

[sacred moat]

which game?

[upper karma]

and i got it on 4,40 GHz bc if i let it got any higher the CPU would be at. about 99-100c

[upper karma]

any

[sacred moat]

oh, its OC?

[upper karma]

no its boots speed is 4.8

and without the limter it gose to about 4.7

[sacred moat]

Try it at it's default frequency

[upper karma]

3.7

[sacred moat]

Yes

[upper karma]

the makes the FPS choopy

[sacred moat]

But check the difference :/

if the fps arent good at all, then ye you should take a water cooling for this case

[upper karma]

ya at 3.7 it runs. in game 56-59

[sacred moat]

56-59°C?

[upper karma]

indeed

[sacred moat]

oh

nice

and how many FPS?

[upper karma]

well what game ?

[sacred moat]

idk

Tetris

x)

[upper karma]

never heard of it

[sacred moat]

It's a new game

just released this year

[upper karma]

god of war i would get about 250 -144

[sacred moat]

Fr, my fav game is A Plague Tale Requiem. They even added Ray Tracing this februrary

[sacred moat]

wow

[upper karma]

but lets take a game like fortnite its one of my testing game i would get like 1200 FPS

anyway what kinda rig you running on

[sacred moat]

I'm just a student, so try to upgrade my stuff slowly

[upper karma]

what u got so far

[sacred moat]

I'm on a Ryzen 7 2700X, with RX 6600

2*16 GB Ram

[upper karma]

okay i see you there with the 6-8 core

[sacred moat]

Ye, 8cores 16 threads

[upper karma]

dam

[sacred moat]

But for the next holidays, I'll work for getting a little of money for buying a ThinkPad or equivalent. My laptop is just bad. It's 2 cores 4 gb ram,

128 gb storage

[upper karma]

your lucky when i first got a laptop it was 1core

[sacred moat]

(but I'll get the laptop for working on it)

[sacred moat]

Wow x)

Which year ? =)

[upper karma]

2014 and i would run games on about 9 FPS if i was lucky

[sacred moat]

In 2014 or so, I had my first ThinkPad (that is broken now)

But I was a small kid

[upper karma]

same

[sacred moat]

I think it had 2 cores or something like that

Or maybe one

But it was bad

[upper karma]

dam then i went to mac

[sacred moat]

Rip 💀

[upper karma]

what was in about 2018

[sacred moat]

I was running Ubuntu 9 on my ThinkPad

Lol

The bot decided to shut you x)

[upper karma]

from mac i went to a RTX 3060 8 core 16gb of ram 1tb HHD

[upper karma]

AI is going to be the death of us

[upper karma]

you can tell thats old just by looking at it

heres a little tip of you dont fit a HHD as your main storage a M.2

[sacred moat]

My first real computer had 8 gb ram with 4 cores 4 threads (Ryzen 3 1200), and an RX560.

[upper karma]

hay that must of still be pretty kick ass

[sacred moat]

Ye

But a lot of these components are broken now

The cpu is broken

The motherboard is broken (since 2021 but I changed it in March of this year)

And the gpu is in my computer

I changed the ram in 2021.

[upper karma]

hay could i add ya

[sacred moat]

The 1 Terra hdd died last year

[sacred moat]

Of course

[upper karma]

HDDS are pretty bad TBH

[sacred moat]

Still more reliable than SSD x)

But most reliable storage system of all time is tape

[upper karma]

i highly dissagree there

[severe shell]

whats a good long lasting gaming mouse

[sacred moat]

I had so less problems with my HDD than my SSD

[upper karma]

the one what works for you

[severe shell]

what about a mouse thats easy to take apart and fix the clicker

[upper karma]

hyperX

[sacred moat]

I advise you the Logitech G501 Hero

I had it for 5 years, it's cheap (price) and good quality

[upper karma]

dont go for logtiech

[sacred moat]

Why? :/

[upper karma]

there are as usless as a broken comdom

[sacred moat]

Wat do ya mean?

[upper karma]

i had one did not even last for a year

[sacred moat]

Wow

[severe shell]

i guess some people get lucky with better parts or smth

[upper karma]

facts

[sacred moat]

Real shit is steel series

[upper karma]

i disagree there

aswell

[sacred moat]

All components that my brother had from them all falled apart at the same time

I swear x)

[upper karma]

steel series over price all there stuff

[sacred moat]

BTw @upper karma if you need modding for your games for a stream / custom programs, I can help you with it.

My thing is Unity games

I also used to do FiveM mods for a streamer

[upper karma]

mods as in cheats

[sacred moat]

No

Mods as adding giant spinning cats planes that destroy everything

It's technically possible with my skills

[upper karma]

well heres one its for minecraft windows 10

a full RTX mod

[sacred moat]

My last mod was a Quake gun that could shoot stuff and destroy doors in a calm car game

[upper karma]

so you know what your doing

[sacred moat]

Ye

And the dev of the game shared my mods!

(I mean, the quake thing is still in-dev)

[upper karma]

ya i can understand that

are you any good at editing

?

like vids editing

[sacred moat]

I used to do that for myself and other people

But I now find that kinda boring

I'm also good at doing subtitles

But like wow subtitles

[upper karma]

okay i see you i see you

if you need some vids edited i can help you out there

[sacred moat]

Oh ok

Thanks!!

[upper karma]

i am not super geart at it but i know a fair amount of it too edit for others

like fad cuts adding songs in sound effects perfect timing ones stream intros and out and a bunch more

if i record a 3h vid it would take my about 4 hours to edit and at the end of the editing it would be about an hour long. the vid would be

[dim osprey]

Hello guys, the 4000 series is alright now ? Like the power cable is not melting anymore ? Or others problems are now solved ?

I'm thinking for 4070ti 12 gb or 4080 16 gb(4080 is so expensive so idk for now) and a lot like a LOT of people said that 4070ti isn't worth it for 2k blah blah cheap gpu O_O

Like I don't really get it why some people not want to buy the mid/''cheap'' gpus like 4070ti is a beast in my opinion, especially in 2K res

What do you guys think ?

[smoky shuttle]

It was never a problem and people who say don't buy them are mostly upset Nvidia raises the price every year

[upper karma]

maybe go for the RTX 4070Ti OC

[dim osprey]

Ay then, thank you for the answer

[dim osprey]

4070ti vs 4070ti OC is 120 euros different so not worth it cuz I can OC it myself. Thank you for your answer tho

[upper karma]

theres only about 150 FPS diffrents bwteen the RTX 4080 and the RTX 4070Ti OC

[dim osprey]

4080 is so above the msrp so not worth it for the moment 😦

especially in my country

[upper karma]

na thats why the RTX 4070Ti OC is the card to go with and it has more GPU memroy

[dim osprey]

yep

[upper karma]

i think the OC RTX 4070Ti has 21.4

[dim osprey]

still

I hate those prices xdd

[upper karma]

how much is it for you

[dim osprey]

let me see in euros

1100 euros asus rog strix 4070ti and asus tuf is 907 euros

[upper karma]

for me its like 850£

[dim osprey]

wow that's a ok price I guess

idk the mspr for 4070ti tho

the real price

oh well I was thinking about a amd gpu but those drivers drive me insane and I never had a amd gpu so I don't want to waste my time and money for something that can't keep the flow 😦

[upper karma]

AMD GPUS are shit

[dim osprey]

and nvidia with big prices but still I love the performance

[upper karma]

what card you got rn

[dim osprey]

for me a rx 7900 xt is 780 euros

but with those drivers neah

[upper karma]

i think that is the 20GB one is it?

[blissful anvil]

@drowsy rapids She hates AMD

[dim osprey]

Yeah that one

The 24 gb one is XTX

[drowsy rapids]

What xD

[blissful anvil]

you don't like amd gpus ?

[dim osprey]

oh well

I see what I can do

[drowsy rapids]

Who does?

[upper karma]

AMD cards are shit they are weak af and they dont even have DDLS

[blissful anvil]

exactly

[dim osprey]

If you don't care about ray tracing and dlls yeah go for amd but fr idk why amd doesn't fix those shitty drivers

they have a lot of money fr

[upper karma]

stick with there CPUS

[dim osprey]

and about cpus, I still love intel but my friends ''go with amd, intel si for money and amd for gaming''

I use intel for my entire life and I love it so idk about amd and for now I don't care xd

maybe they are right

I will do a research about amd ryzen as well

maybe some people dislike intel now becasue of those E cores

[upper karma]

i have the 5900x and its super good

[dim osprey]

idk fr

[dim osprey]

ryzen 9

amazing

[upper karma]

12 core

[dim osprey]

what about production ?

can you tell me more about your ryzen ?\

cuz it's a beast I presume

[blissful anvil]

@dim osprey amd cpus are ok but if you love intel go for i7 12 gen or 13 or even i9

[dim osprey]

Ay then

[upper karma]

its a 12 core and 24 threds its got a boots speed of 4,8 but i keep on 4.4 bc it gose really hot my FPS is pretty good

[blissful anvil]

And some people are mad, we have wars with ps and xbox, amd and intel, nvidia and amd

so if you want to do a search, do it good

[dim osprey]

Ay

[upper karma]

and betwwen the new intel CPUS and the 5900x there is only about a 30% diffrents

[blissful anvil]

just don't lose your money on something you don't like or it's cheap

that's why you want a great build

[dim osprey]

amd ryzen 7 5800x3D is a amazing cpu ?

[upper karma]

and also AMD uses SSD

but intel uses HHD

HDD

[dim osprey]

Anyway I see what I can do

For now I have to work for that kind of money and cpu s and gpu s XD

[upper karma]

the AMD is a 16 core

[dim osprey]

until then, my good old boy GTX 1060 6gb is still working at the top

[upper karma]

the i9-13900k is a 14 core

24

[dim osprey]

I believe in him XD

[upper karma]

if AMD made a 24 core it will be more powerful then the 13900K

[dim osprey]

Intel I9 have 8 P cores and 16 E cores so in total of 24 cores

[upper karma]

yes

[dim osprey]

P cores = Performance-cores E cores= Efficient-cores

anyway x2, thank you guys for the tips

[upper karma]

anytime just got sure to look into things bc most of the time for CPUS theres only about %20 beween them

[dim osprey]

I was thinking about i7-12700kf and rtx 3070 8gb I saw a best deal for both

Cpu at 300 euros and gpu at 400 ish

But I hate those 8gb vram on 3070

like for real :((

[upper karma]

might as well go for the RTX 3070Ti at that stage

[dim osprey]

If I remember correctly, Chris told me that rtx 3070ti isn't worth it because deliver 5% performance and 12% power draw (If it was you Chris thank you 🙂 I don't really know who told me this but yeah thank you xd)

oh and I saw a video with Linuxtechtips

He said that rtx 3070ti is indeed not worth the price

but that was back in 2020

[smoky shuttle]

Stop unless you want to be kicked

[dim osprey]

?

[smoky shuttle]

Someone started something and was banned by a mod. Nothing to worry about

[severe shell]

Which mousepad is better Glass,Plastic,Cloth

[drowsy rapids]

Whichever you prefer

Talking about keyboard switches, mice and mousepads there is no such thing as "the best thing", they are extremely highly personal opinion based.

[severe shell]

but what about cleaning them and smoothness of the mousepad

cloth u will probably have to clean alot more than glass and plastic and glass and plastic is probably smoother than cloth

[drowsy rapids]

They are all easy to clean, it's all about what type of friction you like.

[quiet marlin]

Should I replace/change anything on my pc tower FE (graphics card etc) ? not touched it since I bought it 2 years ago 🤣

[smoky shuttle]

What are your specs?

And is there something you aren't happy with?

[drowsy rapids]

The general rule of any PC upgrade.... if you are happy with your performance right now then don't change anything.

[severe shell]

whats the best free antivirus

[vagrant lynx]

There is technically no "free" antivirus, and even if there are, they won't be as good as paid ones
All I can suggest is, try Malwarebytes with their 14 day free premium trial and see how you go

[severe shell]

Yeah i heard of malwarebytes but im just trying to find something better than windows defender might just gofor bitdefender unless theres something better out there thats "free"

[prime ice]

there is nothing that's free online

[drowsy rapids]

There is already 1 on your PC, just turn it on. You can use malwarebytes but it is NO antivrus it's meant to be used as a regular scan working together with an actual antivirus.

Windows security is MORE than enough you need, it has 1 of the best updated databases unless you go like prenium kaspersky/bitdefender or something.

Windows defender which was iffy at best like 10 years ago, has turned into an actual proper entirely free to use antivirus with an added entirely free anti rasomware which you won't find anywhere else for free to the same extend.

[severe shell]

thank you for your knowledge sensei 🙏

[static warren]

Again with the "malwarebytes is no AV". Yeah, this was 10 years ago. Have another look.

[drowsy rapids]

They still aren't, They are nowhere near the same services and protections normal AV has. This is why of all AVs you can use Malwarebytes in coordination with another AV.

It defo has an AV feature set now, but if you would pay for Malwarebytes (because to get the AV exp you need premium) you can basically better spend it somewhere else.

[hearty urchin]

thanks Hello, I have this PC, and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what I'd need to upgrade to a 3060.

i was wondering if i had to change the motherboard or anything etc im pretty new sorry

https://tenor.com/view/kojiro-heart-hand-dp160-gif-25219131

[smoky shuttle]

You shouldn't need to change anything

[hearty urchin]

does it matter what 3060 i get

[serene mulch]

türk var mı

[hearty urchin]

So I asked someone and they said I would wanna check for power supply supposedly

[smoky shuttle]

uh yeah it would be worth making sure that you have at least 8 pin connector and that the wattage is high enough to handle it

[hearty urchin]

And how do I do that 💀

[smoky shuttle]

Open the case and find the gpu make and model

[hearty urchin]

Oh I know it’s amd and it’s dedicated

And it’s a 600 watt power supply

[smoky shuttle]

600w should be fine

[hearty urchin]

Should I go for the 3060 or 3060ti

[smoky shuttle]

The ti will be better if you can afford it

[severe shell]

wait so ti's are better than normals?

[smoky shuttle]

yes

[severe shell]

what if its a laptop ti?

[smoky shuttle]

ti is always better

[severe shell]

[arctic pond]

Hello

[smoky shuttle]

Do you need help with something PC related?

[arctic pond]

No

[final yoke]

So 1080 better than 1660

[smoky shuttle]

Slightly

[raven bear]

Would I be able to post a PC Part Picker build and see if anyone would change anything of it?

For reliability Performance changes. Not cosmetic or cost unless the reliability aspect is the same for a less cost part

[smoky shuttle]

Yeah let me add an exception to the bot for it though

Should be ok now

[tender lark]

I'd go with a RX6750XT over the 3060 anything

[hearty urchin]

i would but a little high for my budget and im inpatient and them shiiiis are hard to find for no reason where im at

[smoky mulch]

ok so i have the H170-pro motherboard and was told i could go up to the 9th gen CPU? i have the intel I7 6700 right now but i was wondering if i could go backwards? example (I5)? also i have to get a new case as well as the case right now that i ahve will not fit a 3090 GPU? can i also use a bigger power supply as well or is it bad for the notherboard? ty

[smoky shuttle]

Yes you can get an i5 but I'm not sure why you would want to. A 7600(K) isn't going to be much of an improvement if any.

No you don't necessarily need a new case that will depend on your current case and if it can handle a GPU that big.

Yes you can get a bigger PSU without hurting anything

[smoky mulch]

ok ty 4 the info

[wraith sequoia]

two years is actually not that long lol, mine is 1660 super and still runs really good

[raven bear]

Oh you replied ok awesome! ^-^

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Y8w4H2

This is what I have at the moment for what I want to get. Don't worry about the windows thing that's just to fill the hole. Anyone have any suggestions for Reliability or Performance changes? Not cosmetic or cost unless the reliability aspect is the same for a less cost part

[drowsy rapids]

Personally wouldn't pair a 5800x3d with an air cooler especially such one. They run extremely hot unless you undervolt and even then they are hot beasts. Also be careful with the cooler and ram clearance ripjaws are rather large ram sticks.

If it's a full new build and you going to game on it, then I am not sure you should spend more on your cpu than gpu. Should be the other way around really, like upgrading that gpu will have a bigger impact than getting a 5800x3d which games have to support in the first place.

[raven bear]

The gpu isn't more expensive than the cpu though... maybe American website vs Canadian one issue?

[blissful pier]

are 40 series better than 30 series ?

Question stands for laptop

thinking to get either 3070ti or 4070 without ti

[smoky shuttle]

No

Those two will perform about the same

[blissful pier]

Noted, thank you fella @smoky shuttle 🌹

[drowsy rapids]

Was probs a local thing that was happening, ignore that part.

[wild forge]

What would be the right specs for a laptop that can actually play monster hunter rise?

[trail spire]

how the fuck do i remove the io shield

it wont come out 😭

[tame fractal]

It’s your motherboard removed?

[trail spire]

i cant remove it thats the thing

the io shield is holding it in

[tame fractal]

No your motherboard is holding it in lol you put that in first before the motherboard

Just turn off your PC and take out your gpu then take off your mounting screws and carefully move it back

Then your shield will pop off

@trail spire

[trail spire]

(im taking out the parts btw) also yes i removed the gpu and stuff

people with the same prebuilt as mine

just popped it off easily

oh yeah its also near impossible to get the front panel off

so

[hearty urchin]

do you know what type like rog msi etc?

Last time the 2TB version was the cheapest you could get between 500GB, 1TB and 2TB.

[hearty urchin]

got 3060 ti founders aditon

[grim otter]

Don't forget to check FB Marketplace for stuff. Got an MSI GE76 Raider with a 3080ti in it for $1,200 🙏

[hearty urchin]

Hey y’all this is my pc I ended up putting a 3060 ti in and now I need a new cpu to kinda keep up with it I was wondering if this is a good enough one (screenshot ) I’ll probs pay someone to put it in

Also can anyone tell me the best cpu I can get without changing motherboards because I’d prefer that if I didn’t have to

[drowsy rapids]

If you have the proper cooling etc, 5800x3x is the best you can buy on am4.

[hearty urchin]

I’m going for a 5 5600 so I don’t have to switch

[calm birch]

Anyone know if n ASROCK B550M PG RIPTIDE can support an RTX 4090?

[smoky shuttle]

Yes it will support a 4090

[blissful anvil]

Does Corsair4000D support RTX 4070 TI or RTX 4080 ?

[tame fractal]

If you review the specs it will tell you the size of the case and max gpu size/length

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-cases/cc-9011200-ww/4000d-airflow-tempered-glass-mid-tower-atx-case-black-cc-9011200-ww#tech-specs

[blissful anvil]

AMD FSR 2.0 or 1.0 is good for GTX 1060 ?

[smoky shuttle]

Uh when AMD announced FSR2 they said it wasn't a good idea with anything below a 1070

I would just say try both

[wintry scroll]

Rest in peace inevitable obsolescence

[tranquil halo]

can i case swap a dell optiplex

[drowsy rapids]

You can case swap anything unless they have proprietary motherboards, then it becomes much harder

[tranquil halo]

the usb headers wont work with any other cases

dell has proprietary connectors for the usb headers in my case

it wont work ill just have to build something one day

Hello guys

Asus ROG Strix X670 is great now ? No burning problems anymore ?
And if everything is amazing, which mobo is amazing for ryzen 7 7700x : Asus ROG Strix X670E-A or Asus ROG Strix X670E-F ?

[winged cobalt]

i want to add watercooling to my pc build, whats the best case, and other shit people recommend?

[smoky shuttle]

Are you talking full custom loop or just a closed loop?

[winged cobalt]

Either

[drowsy rapids]

If you go AIO, just buy of the any large brands you like that they are all the same anyway except the extra features they added themselves.

[winged cobalt]

got a link to any?

[twilit forum]

anyone know whats a good PSU for rtx 4070 ti and ryzen 9 7950x4d? will 750w enough since its hwat im using currently

and will MSI 670x pro wifi compatible with those specs?

[hasty moon]

https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/

Neat little tool. Just make sure to buy a high quality psu, your gpu will thank you in the long run

especially for a 4070 ti

Also yes that mobo should be fine. The 7950x is a AM5 chipset and your selected mobo is also AM5.

suggested PSU wattage is 600-699 watts. If you have a good PSU it should be able to handle the loads fine, but older/lower quality PSUs can have difficulty putting off as many watts as advertised

If you have the additional 150-60 bucks I would highly recommend just upgrading to a 1000W, especially for a threadripper based computer

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R5PH1VY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I have this for my 3090ti Ryzen 7 5800X build

very solid, plus the PSU is not something you want to skimp on for high end builds

[tame fractal]

That’s what I got

[twilit forum]

Thanks for the info! Ill consider

[cosmic helm]

Anyone got any ideas to recommend good graphics cards processors im looking to get a pc build mainly for gaming

[wide rune]

I got myself an i7- 13700k 16 cores more then enough. And ofcourse an RTX4090 with 64GB DDR5 - 7200Mhz Together with 2 x 4TB NVME WD_BLACK SN850X SSD

But i play with an 48" LG OLED C2 monitor.

As for my C drive i use an 1 TB NVME WD_BLACK SN850X SSD

Thats basicly it. Ah for headset i use the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT Hifi with Spatial Audio for my games and movies

This all run on the motherboard Gigabyte Aurus Master Z790

With an Be Quiet Dark Pro 1500Watt powersupply

[tame fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/you-sure-really-what-seriously-gif-13633891

How did you get it to run 7200mhz

[wide rune]

I got the CMT32GX5M2X7200C34, Dominator Platinium, XMP) 32GB Kit x 2. It runs perfectly on 7200Mhz on XMP2.0

Sorry ment XMP 3.0

[tame fractal]

Hmm strange I’ve just read alot of people couldn’t get it stable, Not trying to call you for bs haha show me your ram speed in the task manager

I do like how that ram looks tho

[wide rune]

Will do when i get home. Not @ home right now

My setup @ home

Only that monitor has been replaced with the 48"version from LG Oled

And got rid of the back lightpanels. Damn things where starting to fall off one by one.

[tame fractal]

Oh that looks nice

[wide rune]

Ehh it's ok. Still shame those backlight panels fell off couple of weeks ago. But it's my gaming / relaxing / work PC

[cosmic helm]

How much did all of it cost you?

[wide rune]

Around 5000 euro’s

[blissful anvil]

[drowsy rapids]

That's pretty expensive for all that, where do you live, Finland ?!

[wide rune]

Netherlands

Those 5 grand is included the Razor Nommo 2.0 speakers and the Wireless headset

[drowsy rapids]

Headset is like 250, which imo is too much for it but yeah xD. It's interesting though like all that you can go below 5k rather comfortable and we would be buying in the same market in a sense. Always interesting how prices change so dramatically.

[wide rune]

The RTX4090 i got it at launch day wich was 2500 grand

[drowsy rapids]

Which now it would probs be like 1.7/1.8

[wide rune]

I have built this PC when Raptor lake came out

[tame fractal]

Could of bought a whole damn pc setup

[wide rune]

i buy a brand new high end system every 4-5 years

[drowsy rapids]

Most people do upgrade in that timeframe yes

[tame fractal]

I guess If you got the money to waste that’s fair

Not my broke ass lol wouldn’t catch me doing that

[wide rune]

So yeah i save up around 5 grand and at that time i see whats new, whats needed and what helps me the most

[tame fractal]

I also have 3 crotch goblins to support

[drowsy rapids]

Not even upgrade just a single part in the system ?

[tame fractal]

I do upgrade when I can

Like since I bought my pc couple years ago I put in new ram and some nvme ssd

[wide rune]

I have 2 of those and an expensive wife and i have mortgage to pay as well

[tame fractal]

And a power supply

[drowsy rapids]

What's your CPU and GPU ?

[tame fractal]

But I need a new mother board now

Pretty sure it’s dead

I have a ryzen 7 2700 and a 2060 super

OC

[drowsy rapids]

Damn

[tame fractal]

I’ve been looking at a new cpu and mobo

[drowsy rapids]

Too bad you live like other side of the planet, I have legit still a 5800x3d and a 3080 just laying around here doing fuck all, with a tomahawk X570.

[wide rune]

What games do you play btw with a 2060 super?

[tame fractal]

Everything

I did atleast

I saw this the other day and thought about buying it

[wide rune]

With Unreal Engine 5 games i bet that 2060 is grinding its teeth

[tame fractal]

It’s over 100$ off

And unused

Oh god my spell checking

[drowsy rapids]

It still will do fine, like remember UE5 or not they still have to run on a console too . On a PC you just turn down the heavy hitting settings and you will be fine.

[wide rune]

Yeah but you missing a lot. Don't know wich reso you play

[drowsy rapids]

He is just playing the exact same game as you though.

[tame fractal]

My pc is currently packed because of forest fires burning my town near me atm but I only use two monitors

I’m at 75hx and the other I forget

1080 or 2k I can’t remember

[wide rune]

YEah but i am playing at 4k. Dunno what reso you play 1080p? 1440p?

[drowsy rapids]

I also play at 4k and a friend of mine which is at 1080p gets the same exp as me.

Even though we play co op a ton, there is no difference between our games fun wise. In theory mine looks more shiny, but that's not why you play a game

[wide rune]

Game fun wise is not bound on resolutions. Hell you can have even fun on 720p. I use 4K due to the fact i play RTS and RPG and need max details on a large screen.

It's just how i prefer it. I wanted to go for 55" but i could not place it here on my desk due to space. So i went for 48" wich is pretty ok

[tame fractal]

My shits real old lol

Don’t mind my mess we’re packing essentials

[wide rune]

lol you still got the price tag on

[tame fractal]

LOL

Yeah it sits against my wall so idc

[wide rune]

hahaha still funny

[drowsy rapids]

If you have a 48'' on just a normal PC desk then wtf are you doing... just get the 42" version like most of us normal people. Your muscles will thank you... and your eyes too

[wide rune]

My eyes do not bother me with this monitor. I prefer it. I saw the 42" at a friends house as he uses it as a TV. But 48" inch suits me better with gaming.

[drowsy rapids]

Then you must be at least 2 to 3m away from it.. technically 4.

[tame fractal]

She’s currently in a box ready to go

[wide rune]

I sit around 60cm from the screen +/-

[drowsy rapids]

Yeah no way you aren't having any issues with long term usage.

[wide rune]

lol for a second i thought it was a cat hahaha

[tame fractal]

Lol

[wide rune]

I got no issues at al. And i have it like a year almost like this.

[drowsy rapids]

A desk with an office chair puts you like at least 90cm to 1m away from a screen when put against the edge.

[wide rune]

Yeah thats what they all say. I work at the office and no one absolutly no one works that way.

[drowsy rapids]

I work at a office and we all work that way, bad ethics then (probs because I actually enforce said rules). Like a normal PC desk is literally about 60cm to 65cm.

So put a chair after it and you always should be sitting against the back, that's another 20 to 25cm and that's just normal human posture at a desk.

[tame fractal]

Centimetres hehe

[drowsy rapids]

Go away with your freedom measurements

[wide rune]

True and yes i know the distance between screen and your eyes. But i tell you, i really have no issues at all and like yesterday i was 17 hours behind my pc before going to bed. No problems at all

[tame fractal]

I kept seeing this dude streaming on TikTok and he would no joke have his face an inch away from the monitor

[drowsy rapids]

I am not saying you will be exp issues right now, I am just trying to say in the future if you keep it up.... at some point you will start feeling certain issues popping up. Most likely muscle ache at first like elbows or neck would be rather common. I would just be personally bit more mindful about it, your body will thank you later. You still do what you want though, just a nice general warning especially since some issues only arise after a certain age too sadly. Like a lot of things you won't feel a thing now, but because you do them now... in let us randomly say 10 years your body will say "fuck you why you did this".

[wide rune]

lol how old do you think i am hahaha

[tame fractal]

Uhhhh hard to say

I’m guessing early adult hood

Well

You joined 2016

So close to your 20s

[wide rune]

lol thank you. But i wished badly

[tame fractal]

Lol

Old like me?

[wide rune]

Count another 22 on top of that

[tame fractal]

Oh old man

I’m 30 lol

[wide rune]

42 here hehehe

[drowsy rapids]

I was rather close with the 10 years then

[wide rune]

I came from the time of AT/XT systems and 286...those golden days.

[tame fractal]

My first pc was an i3 and a gtx645

Aside from like the 90s

We had one of those old round shell macs

But it wasn’t technically mine

[wide rune]

I have been around and working around with PC's and Servers for 30 years now. Yeah i was 12 when i was hooked and introduced to workstations

[drowsy rapids]

Let's make you guys feel old.... today kids: What's a pc ?! Wait you have to TYPE on your keyboard...How does this touchscreen work on this tv ?!

[wide rune]

hahaha yup. Ahh and i have been since day one with Oculus. I was a kick starter for Palmer Lucky and got my hands on Dev kit 1 and 2 and at GamesCom in germany with the Oculus Quest Demo i have hooked to VR.

But stopped at Oculus Quest 2 headset. I think we are still not there where i would like us to be with VR

[tame fractal]

I taught my oldest son well

He knows what a floppy disk is

[wide rune]

Plus the games are mostly dull and goofy looking.

My Son has his own Gaming PC. He his 9. lol his PC costed me 1800 euro's

[tame fractal]

Lol mines 10 I just shared mine with him he has his own console and switch

[wide rune]

He is like a real addic with Roblox and simulator games

[tame fractal]

Mines fnaf and Roblox lol

He’s huge with animatronics

[wide rune]

Yeah he loves more Universe Sandbox and he got BeamNG and Bricks and those games as well

His gaming PC is and i7-9700k with 32GB DDR4 and Radeon 6750XT with 2 x SSD 1TB each. Lol and he has only like 5 games installed.

The i7-9700k and 32GB DDR4 was from my old system. I just added a new GPU and extra SSD for disk space. But never realised he only plays 5 games lol. Oh well

[trail spindle]

yo im trying to upgrade my whole pc

so i can play more triple A games at higher fps
im upgrading to a ryzen7 5800x3d and a 3090ti

and possibly 32gb ram

im doing this to get higher fps at rdr2 on max

[wide rune]

Why an 3090Ti?

[harsh maple]

what was ur current cpu and gpu?

also ru aiming for 1080p or 4K gaming?

[trail spindle]

i5-8600k and 2070

[trail spindle]

preferably 1080p in triple A games and 1440 on valorant etc

[trail spindle]

its close to my budget and good performance

[wide rune]

Ahhh ok. I thought maybe better go for an 4080 or something.

[trail spindle]

its way too overpriced in my country

id probably just play rdr2 and TLOU1

wouldnt prob need a 40 series

[wide rune]

Ohhh ok. No with an 3090ti you would do fine. It's just between 3090 and 3090Ti difference is like really really small. Almost in most games not even noticable

[trail spindle]

oh alr ill see in the future

idk if i need to buy a new psu lol

idk if 650w is enough for my upgrades

[wide rune]

650w, depends the brand.

and the cpu

[trail spindle]

ah alr alr

[harsh maple]

Might be worth getting a 800W PSU so it's future compatible

[tame fractal]

Always get more go 800+

[harsh maple]

Oh and U kinda need to change it motherboard to am4 U know that right?

[tame fractal]

I got a 1000 so that leaves me tons of rooms to add stuff and upgrade

[drowsy rapids]

800 is still fine though, doubt that needs an upgrade anytime soon.

Even 650 is still fine technically these days, you just will push your GPU to like 100 % with it if you go brand new high end.

[olive socket]

but I have to change my motherboard too?

[tiny sedge]

Hey folks,
I just found out that I will soon be the owner of a new 27" 4k 144hz ips nano panel hdr 600 monitor with dts sound system. I had no idea this was about to enter my life. I seen it yesterday and was blown away with how amazing new monitors are.

Issue for me, is, this $750 monitor will be of 0 cost to me, regardless its about to enter my life and be my primary screen.

My PC is solid in all aspects, but has a value gpu currently, a rx 6600 with a decent undervolt and OC profile.

I was curious, what's the best way to make games look the least blurry when ran through the new monitor via display port.

I guess I may have to experiment myself, but do I likely send it a 1080p source as I play on now, and use high/ultra settings as normal and it'll have its usual 75-150fps range it does now in games.

Do you select a 4k resolution, slash detail, turn on fsr and hope you don't exceed 8gb Vram usage?

It's gonna be months before I am able to buy a card for 4k, and I hate to support today's market, but a 7800xt or something in 3 months is likely what I'll get to fill in the gaps, but til then how do I keep a positive experience on such an overkill of a monitor for my gpu?

[drowsy rapids]

Vram won't be the main issue here, the 6600 won't be able to handle 4k at high. So you basically will at mid detail to begin with. Fsr because how it's done will also lessen detail. If you had nvidia it would be rather easy with filters. However what I suggest is play with settings a bit and start with heavy yet not visual noticeable ones first. Then get reshade, with it you can enable lumasharpen and vibrancy. It will help a ton, even I on a 4080 and a LG C2 still use nvidia sharpen or lumasharpen.

[tiny sedge]

Hmm okay, so lowering detail, turning on scaling, and sending the monitor a 4k signal in the end is superior to sending the 4k monitor a 1080p signal and it upscaling it to 4k?

Also the monitor is a g-sync monitor and obviously I have an AMD gpu so that is "free-sync", cost of nvidia cards here is astronomical to amd cards of similar value, should I buy like a rtx 4070 12GB for the price of a rx 7900xt or can I save cost and buy a rx 7800xt and just use traditional v-sync options, or is it to the point that these new monitors don't even need vsyncs and other tech to prevent tearing and can just cap my frames in the gpu driver and leave the "syncs" off?

Sorry I know I am throwing multiple topics at once, need a "for now" get by solution and an actual long term plan to bring this into my life heh. It's a gift and a curse

[drowsy rapids]

Fsr would be upscaling to 4k anyway

It will render in 1080p and then upscale it to 4k.

A thing you defo don't want to do is use fsr in a too low setting, like defo keep it at quality. You could get away with balanced on 4k but eeeh.

[tiny sedge]

Hmm alright, that's far better than I imagined. Never used fsr and I thought making 4k work would be a crazy challenge for the rx 6600 heh. Never used it beyond my 1080p monitor

Appreciate the input

[plush wigeon]

Hey folks. I am in a bitof pickle with choosing a MB to go well with Ryzen™ 9 7950X as i would like something within a decent price but with like at least 2 m.2 slots and other decent features. any tips please? thanks in advance!

[smoky shuttle]

What do you consider decent price?

[plush wigeon]

Well, at the moment i have the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A Gaming WiFi in basket on amazon, for 347E. Anything better around that pricetag? :-?

[hasty moon]

Solid

about 202 E (assuming you mean Euro)

With M.2 slots, the one you have in basket has two more but I have 2 1TB M.2s in my desktop currently and I have a bunch of large games. Unless you are doing very storage heavy video editing you should be good

the one I sent has a 128 GB ram capacity as compared to the Strix X670E 64 GB max if thats something that is critical as well

The Strix is just paying 100 ish more for two extra M.2 slots

[tulip moat]

Guys i used ONLY this one on my GPU. Its bad thing to do?? i have no idea.

Why: for cable management if i didnt use that one, case glass wont close.
if you reply please use reply button beacuse i cant otherwise thanks, sorry for my bad english

[wide rune]

What kind of GPU are we talking about? If your GPU requires 2 x 8-pin then i suggest you use the 2 x 8-pin cable.
It may work with 1 8-pin, but as soon you play games that asks 100% of your GPU (or 99%) your pc can shut down, BSOD, stuttering etc...

[tulip moat]

it requires 3x8 pin. I used 3 x 8 pin cable
but Only used the daisy ones (marked with blue circle)
So i used 3 x 8pin marked cable for 3 x 8pin required gpu, my problem is daisy ones less powerful or worse than primary?

[hot panther]

nah they're the same as they're made to have the same power

[heady otter]

it's fine if you use 3 separate cables and have not attached any other devices on the same cables. these cables came with my psu and i use them as we

[tulip moat]

[neon notch]

Should i go for 4080 with DDr5 64gb ram or a 4090 with ddr4 32gb ram ? Rest is kinda the same.

Only other diff will be motherboard, Asus TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi D4 vs NZXT Z690 N5

[wide rune]

I would say with the 4080 with 16GB vram. What kind of DDR5 are we talking about? 5600? 6000?

[dim osprey]

RTX 4090 DDR4 32GB

[drowsy rapids]

4090 is pretty overkill in games, so isn't worth the crazy prenium it has when the 4080 basically achieves the same.

[wide rune]

At the end it all comes down on: What resolutions you play, how much of RT you wanna use and what kind of games you play. I mean, do you play AAA titles for the eye candy and everything maxed ultra bumped up at 4K, then yeah. 4090 in this case. If you play 1440p and do the same thing, then 4080 will do the trick just fine.

[drowsy rapids]

I do that with a 4080 no problem

Cp77 it's 4k, all ultra, including all RT to the max and still have 100fps going for it.

And that heavy is heavy like crazy and it's optimisation isn't the best. Like even the 3080 could do 4k without many issues, same with the 3090. So I am always crazy confused why anyone suggests you need a 4090 if you want 4k, that's just buying into Nvidia marketing.

[wide rune]

If you use DLSS with Frame Gen, yeah sure. Without it, you will get max 20fps on Native doing that. Hell my 4090 without DLSS would suffer to death.

[drowsy rapids]

It won't at all lol, even without DLSS and FG you still get like 40 fps

Remember your frames get doubled... so half your frames and you get actual framerate.

If I get 90 with them on... I would get 45 without them.

(well not exactly always 50% but you get my point)

Also like how dumb of an argument is that even... all 20, 30 and 40 series can use DLSS, all other cards can use FSR... they are MEANT to be used in games.

But Take starfield (even though no proper full driver support yet of Nvidia, because AMD sponsored), it suffers from performance issues pretty much(also brand new so).... Without using any FSR a 4080 on 4k can pull easy 60 fps. 4090 does probs like 10 fps more than that, so if that's worth double the price idk up to you.

[wide rune]

I don't know in wich universe you get at 4K with everything maxed out and in Native resolution, 40fps on a 4080. I am sorry, but there is just no chance in hell for that to happen, if even an 4090 with 13900k and ddr5 at 7200mhz can't match those fps.
rtx4080 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7U1_OBa7S8&ab_channel=zWORMzGaming @ 13:56 min.
Here an 4090 also maxed out native reso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqN3t4PKZr4&ab_channel=xGarbett it hardly can't get pass the 35fps.
So your pc is a miracle worker or i dunno.

[drowsy rapids]

You telling tech jesus is a liar?

Is bold to go against gamers nexus.

But yeah overdrive is path tracing which is a whole different level. So we can cut out that especially since its still experimental. For the rest reread what I said.

But if you want to know even though didn't use it in my example.... Cp77 native 4k rt ultra no dlss at all which idk why you shouldn't... You get about 30fps on a 4080 and 35 on a 4090 and you paid double the price for that. So rather than going to random points and not addressing the core, again I will ask the question.....is that worth the price increase.

[crisp spindle]

Hello i have a pc with a RTX3050 And CPU AMD rayzen 5 3600
MPG B550 Gaming Plus motherboard power supply 500w and a budget of 1000€ i want to upgrade my pc anyone have an idea

[hasty moon]

My message got deleted as I just finished typing it...anyhow I would recommend a Ryzen 7 5700X, a 3070TI and a 750W psu which comes out to about 760 Euro on Amazon.

apparently I cant post links. But all of those items are on Amazon. a PNY or MSI 3070ti with a thermaltake 750W Psu and the Ryzen 7 5700x. Leaves some wiggle room for if you need specific upgrades like a higher quality gpu or cpu, or more ram or a better monitor etc. Still with that combo it should be a massive upgrade

Also a bit for tax/shipping depending on your locality

QVO is a bit expensive but worth the storage and writing speed

[winged cobalt]

they just for laptop or no?

[mild plover]

QVO is PC part only to my knowledge

but 970 plus is for both

[winged cobalt]

i'll check it out thnx

doesnt it have to be compatable to my specs as well?

is mine

[mild plover]

easily compatible

as long as you have free m.2 slot available

[winged cobalt]

aalright thnx

Hey everyone! An opinion would be helpful. I'm starting a build consisting of a Ryzen 9 7950X3D, G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB 64GB x2 (128GB) and I'm not 100% sure about the GPU, imo a RX 7900 XTX is enough although RTX 4090 is quite a bit better

[drowsy rapids]

I mean 4080 would be good enough too, I still don't know why anyone would buy an AMD GPU or CPU in this gen except if you are an extreme budget(for the GPU, because CPU is more expensive).

[blissful anvil]

Fyi I mainly play survival games and RTS

[drowsy rapids]

AMD is going massively backwards than innovating, their AM5 is still such a mess... shouldn't even have been released to the public.

[blissful anvil]

I see

The sole purpose for going AMD is the prices on NVidias gpus in all honesty

[drowsy rapids]

But if you really want to pick between the 7900 XTX and the 4090, I would say do the 4090 just because it's better in literally every way... however keep an open mind for the 4080.. It's basically a 7900XTX but it actually can do Ray tracing and has DLSS as an option.

Also they at this point cost nearly the same

[blissful anvil]

Not here xD

Sadly

They are around 1k more expensive

[drowsy rapids]

That's pretty sad

[blissful anvil]

a RX 7900 goes for 800~1k and the RTX are rounding the 2k+

[drowsy rapids]

How much more is the 4090 then ?

3k?

[blissful anvil]

Well if I'd choose the manufacturor

It's 1089 vs 2200

[drowsy rapids]

If the 4080 is 1k more than a 7900XTX, then just get the 7900 tbh.

[blissful anvil]

Yeah that was my though

The 4080 go for 1.7k

[drowsy rapids]

No GPU is worth 1k more for the 5 extra frames and sure you get better Ray tracing and upscaling... but spending 1k more for that ? Nope thanks.

[blissful anvil]

Yeah my thoughts exactly

[drowsy rapids]

It's because here and also in US the 4080 and 7900XTX are relative the same in price now, so it makes more sense to see 4080 as an option

[blissful anvil]

Yeah I'd say it would

The US is pretty cheap PC building wise

Not here though

The build I have in mind is rounding about 7k in total price

[drowsy rapids]

Yeah mine is about 2.5k ish and it's a really high end system including with a 4080 and a 13th gen so rather big difference for basically "worse"

[blissful anvil]

Let alone having chosen an RTX instead it'd go up to about 8.3k or something

Yup xD

Well anyways, off gaming with buddies thanks for advice ^^

Have a good one!

[smoky shuttle]

are you in the eu/uk? That seems really expensive

[blissful anvil]

Europe yup, Portugal to be more precise

[drowsy rapids]

How is Portugal triple my price lol

I already live in 1 of the most expensive countries in Europe xD

[blissful anvil]

xD

Trust me nothing beats Portugal

Low wages and high prices in everything ftw

[drowsy rapids]

Never went to Finland ? They want your kidneys for a glass of water

[blissful anvil]

Been to Sweden and Norway

Soo yeah I'd imagine

Haha

Not going back to Norway that soon, that's for sure

[astral eagle]

pls help me

mod or admin help¡

hi ?

[tame fractal]

I can help you in #wemod-support

[dim osprey]

4070 TI Asus TUF is worth it for 1k euros ?

[hasty moon]

depends. whatcha upgrading from?

amazon has an asus tuf 4070ti for 849 USD or 790 Euro so you are overpaying unless thats a liquid cooled version or something

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-GeForce-Graphics-DisplayPort/dp/B0BQTSV2GG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1EQBJWSCLVZXX&keywords=4070+ti&qid=1694653606&sprefix=4070+t%2Caps%2C318&sr=8-2

[dim osprey]

GTX 1060 Asus Dual

last year,I wanted to upgrade to rtx3070 but I changed my mind with 4070TI

[drowsy rapids]

It will still be 1k after VAT.

[hasty moon]

I always forget about global shipping. My bad

Thought he meant not including that

[drowsy rapids]

Yeah was just to confirm that he will basically pay the same

[crisp spindle]

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is it better with RTX 4060 or RTX 3070TI or RTX4060TI

[crisp spindle]

and what psu should i get for this

[smoky shuttle]

3070ti is slightly better than the 4060ti. As far as PSU your current PSU may be enough

[boreal gust]

Whats thr best ssd and price for my laptop I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop and I wanna upgrade the memory

[drowsy rapids]

Do you want to upgrade the storage or the ram, because that sentence says both

[harsh maple]

U can try out the SABRENT 8TB Rocket 4 Plus, its very cheap 😉
https://www.amazon.com/SABRENT-Internal-Extreme-Performance-SB-RKT4P-8TB/dp/B09WZK8YMY

[visual dove]

Can I put an RTX 4090 on a B550M motherboard?

Or do I need to upgrade? Someone help me please

[drowsy rapids]

Why wouldn't that work ?

[visual dove]

Maybe it was incompatible, I don't know, I was worried but thank you

[glass olive]

Hello! Again I really want to get into PC gaming. Frankly I don't know where to even begin. I have a basic understanding but long story short. Perferably something affordable but van upgrade down the road. Any recommendations? Yes I wanna build it from scratch. Just have trouble finding parts. My budget is $500

[vagrant lynx]

$500 isn't going to get you anything good, I'm afraid. Easiest way to figure out what you want would be to use PC Part Picker to pick out parts that could work together, then find the cheapest prices online

[glass olive]

I am willing to pay higher good thing I have a decent paying job 🤣🤣. I'll check it out. Thanks

[drowsy rapids]

You can get a decent PC with 500 though.... like a pretty good one even to play games. However you will have to use the used market for it.

[vagrant lynx]

Yeah, PC Part Picker's PC builder is pretty good for determining what works and what doesn't

[vagrant lynx]

Mm, decent is stretching it

[drowsy rapids]

Nah decent....

[vagrant lynx]

Ah, but then again, I'm probably thinking $500 AUD

[drowsy rapids]

It will run games better than a Xbox or PS5

[vagrant lynx]

Uhh, doubtful about that...

[drowsy rapids]

Like you spend about half of the budget on a GPU.... a GPU for 250 is actually extremely good if you think 5000 series and 30 series.

[drowsy rapids]

Those plastic boxes are nothing more than about a 1070 remember.

[vagrant lynx]

Maybe closer to 3060

[glass olive]

I saw a video about it. I wanna send a li k but it won't let me

[drowsy rapids]

Is that reddit ?

[vagrant lynx]

https://www.makeuseof.com/xbox-series-x-vs-gaming-pc/

[drowsy rapids]

Yeah.... go watch gamers nexus

He did actual proper comparisons and his conclusion was.... the performance and settings are basically a 1070 but it's complicated oh and it can do kinda RT but it really can't handle it properly.

https://youtu.be/HCvE4JGJujk

The PC was outpacing that PS5.... it was a 3300 with a 1080.

His test overall were made harder because of resolution scaling with consoles... it was clearly running below the actual resolution most of the times vs the PC.

Overall that PC was about 500 USD and it was still matching the PS5 and outperforming it in a lot of areas. So the myth of you can't get a PC for 500 that outpaces a console got destroyed that day. However it is also very very very important that this isn't a pro or anti PC/console thing.... they are just different.

His conclusion was basically this: An affordable and accessible living room box, equivalent in gaming performance to a mid/high end PC 5 years ago. So basically buy a 20 super GPU and you are already above what the PS5 can do.

[glass olive]

I seen plenty of PCs low budget can do so much. So I will definitely keep an eye out. Especially the setup I found. I DMd you the link

[drowsy rapids]

I wouldn't still advise you to go for a 500 budget build though unless you really can't. If you want something that will last you a bit I would say 750 is a nice level budget to begin with.

[glass olive]

I can do that. I'll have to budget carefully bit it is not impossible

[boreal gust]

I wanna upgrade my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop ram and memory what brand should I buy

[drowsy rapids]

How you mean RAM and memory ? They are the same unless you mean storage and RAM

But RAM really anything works, all RAM is produced by only 3 companies anyway. If you really care about the best value stuff. Just go corsair, they are 1 of the RAM manufacturers and price their RAM rather nicely.

[tame ledge]

? i have 7000000 hezar toman (140 $)can i buy anything

my graphic is gt 1030 (2gb as normal )

my ram is ddr 3

my power is 220

my cpu is 4590

i cant upgrade anything

but i dont know can i buy a pc ?

when i sell my pc i can get another 150 $

then i have 300 $

i think i can only buy a 3060 😐

[unreal charm]

I would buy a motherboard and cpu first then ram pcu for motherboard case then gpu

That’s what I did and it saved me time and money in the long run

Spread out purchases and get the pieces on sale for the build you want

[paper pilot]

hi

i have a gpu rtx 3060 12gb and 32 gb ram and have 7 fans and a 650w powersupply and have a gigabuyte motherboard and a 256 ssd and 4tb external storage hdd and 2 tb internal storage hdd

but it can barely run minecraft

i get 30-50 fps in minecraft 1.16.5

my old computer with none of theese parts can run 1.19.2 at 60 fps

any help i could get

and also my ram is ddr4

i think its barely running windows

chrome takes so long to run

what should i do

[harsh maple]

This is because Minecraft java in very poorly optimised

I recommend looking into sodium which drastically improves performance

Sodium and s better option then optifine

[daring turret]

anyone know how to fix this it happens when i start pc and have to restart the pc to fix

[paper pilot]

I already tries that

its not only minevraft

its the only game it could run at 50 fps

all other

gets 1-10 fps or crashes

@harsh maple

[harsh maple]

Then all I can currently think of is driver updates

I'll look into it

[pure nimbus]

Cpu?

[wanton snow]

helle

hello

help me please

Who can help with the mod?

[wanton snow]

I wrote, I'm waiting

[robust marlin]

Which is the best graphic card should I go guys I just want know that I am planning upgrade my pc next year 2024.

[blissful anvil]

Not going to lie I love my Nvidia 3070 no issues with it and plays every thing

[harsh maple]

I mean it matter on what U gonna do with the GPU and what games. U gonna play and at what resolution

[static vessel]

Does anyone here knows a good website that help comparing the current build to new one?

[robust marlin]

I am looking play full 4k resolution man i want best 16 gb graphic cards available in the market man.

[harsh maple]

for mwhat i heard

rtx 4080 or 4090

4k is best for that

[robust marlin]

RTx 4060 man

[harsh maple]

idk amd version

[robust marlin]

How is gigabyte 16 gb man

[harsh maple]

hmm let me check later

[robust marlin]

Ok

I am looking for full ddr5 setup man and future proffed graphic card

[harsh maple]

so u looking for 4K games at 16GB VRAM and DDR5?

[harsh maple]

form the internet

the rtx 4060 is very bad at 4K

[robust marlin]

Which would recommend me man

[harsh maple]

I say 4090

it 16GB

GDDR6

whats your CPU?

[robust marlin]

Well I had base cpu man before it was only 1 gb of graphic card 😭😭 man i am looking upgrade it next year jan 2024.

[harsh maple]

so which cpu

the thing is

4K gaming isnt rlly that good of a experience rn

the 4090 cant even get above 100 fps without DLSS

[robust marlin]

Over here India so expensive man for graphic card around a lakh for us here we have have have budget of 4 lakhs get 4090 set up man

[harsh maple]

oof

I think you gonna wanna tone down your gaming

liek 1080P

[robust marlin]

Yes

[harsh maple]

which is still really good

[robust marlin]

Yes

[harsh maple]

and the rtx 3080 will do fine

or the rtx 4060

which can easily handle that

[robust marlin]

But I got good acer 322 q 4k monitor man 32 inch monitor man

Va panel

[harsh maple]

what games are you planning to play?

[harsh maple]

also whats the hertz

[robust marlin]

Like cod back4 blood resident evil 4 remake

60 hertz man

[harsh maple]

60 hertz

[robust marlin]

Yes

[harsh maple]

that is a bottleneck ngl

at that point

if you are looking to upgrade them onitor in the future I say 4060

[robust marlin]

Yes later i am planning upgrade it in the future

[harsh maple]

but if you are not

what your cpu?

amd or intel

[tame fractal]

Nothing wrong with 60hz at 4K

[harsh maple]

oh wait

yea 60hz 4k

i thought u had somth like 120hz

if you are doing 60hz

[robust marlin]

Well I had phantom 2 before processor man now i need good setup with ddr5 full

[harsh maple]

oh god

dont you need a new motherboard as well?

@tame fractal

phantom 2

[robust marlin]

B650 motherboard how is it man ddr5

[harsh maple]

u need to upgrade cpu pretty sure

to somthing like ryzen 7000 series or intel 12th gen

[robust marlin]

Yes I am also having ps5 man also but you cannot anything that shit consules man pc is the best out there for modding man

[harsh maple]

alr so what I say

give me minute

[robust marlin]

I have PS4 Max save wizard also but it very limited dude.

[harsh maple]

ill give you a link

[robust marlin]

Ok

[harsh maple]

whats your power supply?

[robust marlin]

Well I have shitty 400 power supply now my system completely dead not oning at all. It's like I have to upgrade fully max level with a fresh setup man

[harsh maple]

i tihkn you gonna need new setup yeah

imma give you a liknk to a setup

[robust marlin]

Can you tell me what's best setup for ddr5 with best graphic cards

[harsh maple]

link*

yeah give me minute

[robust marlin]

Sure

[harsh maple]

imma say you want smth like 1-4TB of storage?

[robust marlin]

But I am ok with 1 tb man

[harsh maple]

alr

[robust marlin]

Disadvantage of consules is that you cannot mode a ps5 game which sucks they have raised prices of ps plus that's why I am coming pc man

[harsh maple]

ok i got something for you

the price is absolutely ridiculous tho

@robust marlin here

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KCtfvj

oh wait

imma change the psu

[robust marlin]

Which is better Intel or amd man

[harsh maple]

it overkill

its pretty balanced

[robust marlin]

Ok

[harsh maple]

but the cpu is very good

here

i changed psu

[robust marlin]

Triple fan graphic card is good or double fan graphic card is good man.

[harsh maple]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mHb9rv

[harsh maple]

just stick with one, you shouldnt double up the rtx 4070 tho

also do not take thiption to buy

research if the ram and stuff will fit

i didnt do that

[robust marlin]

So does matter whether is double or triple man man is the vram of graphic card

[harsh maple]

nah

you are just losing out on performance

it doesnt matter

[robust marlin]

Ok

[harsh maple]

if you had better monitor

maybe

but not rn

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VJqzfy use this i remvoed the monitor

[robust marlin]

May future i am planning for OLED monitor man but it so expensive here India around a lakh here

[harsh maple]

so it less expensive

[robust marlin]

I hope every company will make OLED monitors cheaper man right now it so expensive

[harsh maple]

yeha it very expensive

just found a oled 4k monitor for $9000 USD 🤣

[robust marlin]

Yes shit more expensive better wait for 10 years then all companies will make cheaper OLED at a good price man

[harsh maple]

stick with an IPS panel upgrade I say

[robust marlin]

Yes but this monitor I got was va panel I was not happy with viewing angles it so bad man but I got used to it my next monitor I am going for a ips monitor man

[harsh maple]

can anyone else check if this part list is good or not?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VJqzfy

[robust marlin]

My man confusion is should I go for rysen 7000 or Intel which performs better man

[harsh maple]

it honestly matters to you

[robust marlin]

Ok

[harsh maple]

i dont see the idfference

[robust marlin]

Thanks

[harsh maple]

i just would do intel

[robust marlin]

Why

[harsh maple]

but ddr5 ram overclocked is a disaster waiting to happen so maybe ryzen

[robust marlin]

Ok

[harsh maple]

is that alot?

[robust marlin]

Yes it is expensive here India but offline it will be less only man

I am telling about this graphic card man it lesser than Asus.

[harsh maple]

alr get that then

[robust marlin]

Ok but it is good know man gigabyte

But Asus is so expensive man gigabyte is lesser than Asus man.

[tame fractal]

No

Don’t get gigabyte brand

horrible warranty process

[drowsy rapids]

Depends where you live

Here it really doesn't matter which brand you buy....they all have the exact same warranty.

I wouldn't go AM5 though, that platform even to this day is buggy asf.

[harsh maple]

That's why I used an Intel system in the listing and also because cod compatibility issues

[robust marlin]

All thanks everyone for saying that I will go for Asus graphics card

[robust marlin]

Thanks dude for the advice now i go for Asus only.

[tame fractal]

Yeah no problem! I’ve had all gigabyte brands and had horrible warranty claim experiences.

[static vessel]

I'm looking for a better thermal pads for SN850x nvme m.2 but I have no idea which size is fit for it, please help

[blissful anvil]

Hi

Asus TUF RTX 4000 series is good ?

[harsh maple]

I think it's good for I'm personally a MSI fan

Or evga

[blissful anvil]

RTX 4070 TI MSI Gaming X Trio is a amazing GPU ?

[viscid anchor]

what would be the best fan orientation for flow in this?

[static warren]

Pain

[kindred sapphire]

yo what

[drowsy rapids]

I can tell it has too many fans

[harsh maple]

10 fans 💀

[tame fractal]

Not enough fans

[drowsy rapids]

Well the front are just fighting the top for air circulation, so basically not much is happening in that case
