I'm running Arc B580 with R5 5600 and I love that GPU

#

Arc B580 might have some problems with performance on older games though

#

I play almost only new stuff so I'm not sure

toxic sentinel
#

I can get more than 60fps on all games I play

#

I'm satisfied with that Laughing

winter ore
# toxic sentinel Nah

ye bro me idc about playing in 4k i just wanna play in 1080p 60fps or maybe even 100fps i just want a playable enjoyable experience so i think a ryzen 5 5600g to start with is pretty good then when i get the money i could get a good gpu

toxic sentinel
winter ore
#

when i get a good gpu am planning to change my ryzen 5 5600g with a ryzen 7 5700x3d is this good ?

aight bro

ty for the help tho

toxic sentinel

#

idk if it the x3d that is expensive but the x version is pretty affordable

#

wait a sec lemme check again

lost fossil
#

me personally i would route gpu cables there for a straight run that would look better Hmmm

toxic sentinel
#

That needs new motherboard though

lost fossil
#

straight cable

#

I need cable extensions at least.

lost fossil
#

yeah that's the next step

stone apex

Because this white into black right in the middle is so ass.

I'm thinking if I need a lightbar.

lost fossil

doesn't it make a monitor and surrounding less harsh for eyes?

Hello Tech Channel

#

I'm here to bully oleg

#

@lost fossil wake up

quaint helm

brave field
#

Microsoft store, why must you do this to me every time?

proper sundial
rapid lake
#

For $100

#

I barely need a second monitor tbh I just want it for the convenience it sometimes offers

#

But like, might aswell get something good right KEKW

#

Instead of a beat up 60hz lcd from 2011

#

Still looking at options

lost fossil
rapid lake
#

no OkayChamp

#

I don't want the second one to be 27 too

lost fossil
#

sizes must match

rapid lake
#

no

#

thats ocd

lost fossil
#

or you get smth that is the same in width as the height of your main and then you place it vertically

lost fossil
rapid lake
#

Well look

#

the one I have been considering for the longest time is 24.5" flat

#

I don't know if it matches in terms of

#

height

#

But it should be pretty close

lost fossil
#

16:9 curved is a bad format in my objective opinion

rapid lake
#

Again I didn't choose this I got it for free

lost fossil
#

then fair enough

#

i wasn't in the chat for that part

rapid lake
#

I wouldn't want curved to begin with

#

Transporting it home I was worried it would split in half

#

so

#

this is 414

#

mine is 560

#

but how do they measure these dimensions

#

because it's 370mm when I measure the height

civic cloud
#

I've never seen someone actually measure a monitor instead of just relying on the screen diameter

rapid lake
#

Because I don't know what these numbers represesnt exactly

#

It says W x H x D which supposedly is width, height and depth but

#

when I go to measure it's different

civic cloud
#

I'm confused, are you comparing the measurements of your own monitor to some random monitor on the store? or is that the spec sheet to your monitor?

rapid lake
#

Oh I see what's going on

#

They are measuring the width as the width of monitor with the stand when the monitor sits at the top like this

rapid lake
#

To see if the height matches roughly or if it looks weird

#

So the active display area is pretty much the same in terms of height

#

at 320mm

civic cloud
#

If both monitors are 24.5" and 16:9 they are almost the same size anyway, depending on the bezel

lost fossil
#

29" also works

I used one before and my current work monitor is 29

As for ram i could upgrade that down the lind

Noctua is good if you want something to install and forget about

#

And to get the best performance from a fan

Like, what's the worst that happens? A fan breaks? Buy another one for a couple bucks and live happily ever after.

twin badger

#

Both 16:9 yeah

#

I don't really care that much

#

But after doing the calculations, I will be left with just 20cm or so on my desk since it's gonna be 130cm

#

With having the two monitors horizontal

#

Btw are monitor arms usually VESA compatible?

#

Or am I gonna have to buy adapters

first so that your monitors stay put when you do things to your desk in a fit of rage
second so that your monitors are disconnected from each other if that makes sense ||it doesn't||

rapid lake
#

Yeah I know what you mean

#

But the arm is pretty sturdy and I don't rage OkayChamp

#

Lining them up could be a bit of a pain, but once they do lign up they will stay like that forever

lost fossil
#

it also looks cleaner when there isn't a piece of metal going from your desk to somewhere OMEGAcringe

rapid lake
#

Actually I really like that look for some reason

lost fossil
rapid lake
#

The arm extended there

#

and like, there's gonna be cables anyways so with the arm there serving a function (being an arm) and also running the cables through it it's good

#

they go through the arm and then disappear under the desk inside a net

how much voltage its outputing

or voltmeter

wispy mesa

it wont output

ive used 2 voltmeters

cold elbow
#

ive seen Offline UPS units output lower voltage when they are on battery source not the wall... like in backup mode

wispy mesa
#

Yea it doesnt output the 195v

#

bypass mode cant engage bypass because of bypass AC low voltage

#

and the battery to AC doesnt output

civic cloud

#

i think router ero can help frfr

wispy mesa
#

Got the UPS to output had a stable 240v 50hz

#

i blew some dust out of it

thin turtle
wispy mesa
#

well australia appliances are generally rated for 220 to 240v, the ups just had 240 set so i just changed it to 230 since that matches my wall

#

Got it to run in normal mode with inverting the sensed 208v to 240v, 2nd time around i only got bypass working with output at 208v which would trip on any large load since anything below 205v causes a low bypass voltage error

Will a 500w UPS be enough to keep my PC (i5 13400f and 3060 ) along with my monitor (according to msi it draws 53W) on during an outage?

I have this but it needs new batteries, better than buying a whole new one for $60-70

500W, or 500VA? It should list the maximum wattage per outlet on the ups

It’s 600w

1500 VA

Ahh, then you should be fine once you get the replacement battery, yeah

Because watts is voltsxamps

So not sure what this is

Trying to look up what VA means just keeps making me even more confused

Hopefully long enough to finish my CS match so I don’t get banned

Again

snow rover
#

va is just used for reactive loads

lost fossil
#

you'll probably need a ups for your internet box too, then

if the power brick is 5v then u can probably just use a phone power bank

basically va = max power handling
w = continuous power handling

does that make sense

#

I don’t think upgrading to am5 alone is worth it if you’re not also getting a GPU that’s more powerful

#

If your cpu can keep up (and beat) your gpu then upgrading to am5 is kinda useless

9070xt good

Why not go with am5 to begin with

would a 7700x be slow enough for 9070xt?

buying used pcs is cheaper

rapid lake

#

ok let me rephrase that

#

would a 7700x not hinder the gpu? as in bottlenecking?

rapid lake
#

It’s sufficient

#

If you don’t wanna pay extra for a 7800x3D

#

And unless you want to play competitive games at 240+ fps then you don’t need a 7800X3D

Is it just me or are the ZTT prebuilts expensive asf

The 5070ti is $800

I want to say that’s not bad but it’s just that we’ve gotten used to these ridiculous prices

You’re probably better off finding a used 3090 or smth

They can be a hit or miss, really depends on the wiring in a house

So I’ll just ask him to make it out of wood and then I’ll get those brackets later

Mine works a treat

rapid lake
#

I’d be happy with anything that works

#

Until I move out and do everything as I want

#

I mean, can you imagine that instead of running wires (sattelite tv and internet cable) through the dedicated pipes on the roof which lead to the apartment’s wiring, instead they just hand the cable down from the roof and drill a holl through the walls for it?

#

You cannot fix this

#

Granted those same pipes were literally sending rainwater down one of the outlets in the walls because they aren’t properly covered or sealed exdee

That’s very informative

So first one would replace your router or could run alongside it then the others you setup where you want in the house

rapid lake

Seems way out of my budget though and not something I need

rapid lake
#

Those don’t work that well

vagrant crown
#

It’s better than WiFi extenders

rapid lake
#

We got thick walls

rapid lake
vagrant crown
#

I don’t know how to explain it as I’m not an expert lol

#

But they talk to each other and have a dedicated backhaul channel which frees up the channels you use

rapid lake
#

Do the other ones connect through cables in the walls instead of wirelessly

vagrant crown
#

No it’s all wireless

rapid lake
#

So then it’s just glorified wifi extenders

vagrant crown
#

But they all have Ethernet ports giving you Ethernet anywhere

rapid lake
#

Only these look cuter and can communicate with each other

#

I mean it’s cool and all but not what I’m looking for

#

Wifi coverage is good everywhere here unless you’re using a phone fron 2010

#

But for the gaming and whatnot LAN is the only way

#

I just need one cable prayge

vagrant crown
#

Best get the old extendo cable out then I guess kek

#

Like I have the main one in the hallway and then the others spread out mainly where I need to plug lan cables in.

my rule of toe is that if a device doesn't move around, i connect it with a cable

Eventually I want to switch to a more reputable ISP not this local one, then I’ll be using phone lines which I can easily route to wherever I want because they’re so thin

And I’ll have a bunch of routers everywhere or smth

# rapid lake One for the whole house

that's not how it works unless you have specific segmentation requirements (besides a router can do all that anyway)

I have multiple routers at home because multiple lines - I have two symmetrical 500mbps lines coming in for home-work stuff, and they're on separate routers which connect to each other for load balancing and backup connected to a meraki network, a higher-end consumer fiber line for home-only stuff + general entertainment connected to a unifi network, and a 200mb line with a dedicated vpn+rotating vps setup for gaming with no wireless and a unifi non-wireless router

rapid lake
#

I just don’t want anything to interfere with my internet

#

With the speeds we get here that’s not possible unless you have your own internet just for you

#

Any load will make the internet slower and add a noticeable latency

steel sentinel
#

as i said, you get one router per internet line

rapid lake
#

I know

#

These lines can barely even handle like 80mbps anyways

steel sentinel
#

VDSL would be 80mbps max

rapid lake
#

Unless they started routing the new ones

#

Slightly faster I’m sure

steel sentinel
#

depends on the access policies for your area i guess
but if it's purely vdsl then it's prolly not much faster
the big killer with VDSL tho is the upload speed which is pretty critical to gaming
fiber can be so much better (if you pay for higher tiers or if the lines offered in your area are symmetrical as it is in certain countries)

rapid lake
#

Fiber coverage is so bad here

#

They move like turtles

#

The country is literally smaller than a small state

#

Granted, these local ISPs have 1GB fiber I’m pretty sure, they just sort of distribute it into slower speeds

#

And they work with (or for) other bigger companies, though they do not represent them

steel sentinel
#

it's more about the demand for links in a certain area as well
i had the problem when i lived in the south of france a while back
one of the richest areas on this planet and i couldn't even get fiber in our sticky-out bit on the coast
i had to buy a microwave backhaul link from the other side of the bay because i didn't want to deal with the latency of satellite
when that went out I only had adsl 💀

brave field
#

Do you pay full price for the Cisco stuff? @steel sentinel
And are your router/modems/APs all separate components?

steel sentinel
#

well yes ofc, well i am now

my home network was managed by an msp until quite recently and they only do a rental model with the meraki stuff
and i was actually paying way more than the equipment cost because that supposedly included support
i had more than a few problems with them so was already in the process of getting rid of the msp, and now i have more time i decided just to rearchitect the entire network myself

#

i didn't want to over-futz on a daily basis babysitting stuff and i also wanted functional compatibility for work so my home-work network is meraki and the rest is unifi

brave field
#

sounds really fun

steel sentinel
#

not really
i just need it to work and for me to be able to make the changes i need quickly

#

I would rather have got someone else in but the problem is despite not being in IT I'm more capable with it than most in IT so watching them work annoys me

# jovial tide Yooo

alright so like I said CPUs and GPUs are the most important, the cpu takes care of core logic in games, like AI and physics, ACs (anti cheats) also eat up some cpu processing power if included in a game, gpus take care of visuals in general

#

your best choices are an AMD CPU and a Nvidia GPU, Intel CPUs are unnecessarily overpriced so just skip them

# jovial tide what about like a cooler? I see some people have water or fans in their pcs?

theres two cooling solutions
Air and water
air is pretty self explanatory, the heatsink absorbs heat from the components and it gets cooled by fans
water has essentially two types:
all in ones and custom water loops
all in ones are a little pricey but usually are better for cooling the more power hungry pc's
custom loops are stupid expensive, hard to maintain and dont offer much performance increase unless you are doing stuff like overclocking

#

i would just get something like the peerless assasin 120 which is a very cheap and beefy air cooler, ive installed one myself and its suuuper straight forward

jovial tide
quaint helm

What other components make up a pc besides gpu and cpu?

quaint helm
#

mobo , psu , ram , storage and case

jovial tide
#

Im going to need a rundown on what those are

hardy coral
# jovial tide What other components make up a pc besides gpu and cpu?

motherboard (where the cpu, gpu, ram and storage connect)
power supply (what feeds electricity to all the parts)
ram ( short access memory basically, it stores data temporarily and sends it to the cpu)
cpu (brains of the operation, processes data)
gpu (graphics card, processes the video output)
storage (be it a hard drive, a solid state drive or an nvme solid state drive, it stores your files and stuff)
case (where everything is built on)

jovial tide
#

Is the cooling optional?

quaint helm
#

no

hardy coral
quaint helm
#

its a must else u will thermalthrottle or cant even on your computer smiles

hardy coral
#

parts get electricity fed to them, that generates heat that needs to be removed to prevent parts from overheating and keep them performing as good as possible

quaint helm
#

mobo , psu , ram , cpu , storage and cpu fan = minimum

jovial tide
#

Ok

#

Whats not minimum

Clarifications*

quaint helm
# jovial tide i need definitions on cpu,gpu, and igpu

🖥 CPU (Central Processing Unit)

Often called the “brain” of the computer.

Handles general-purpose processing — running programs, executing instructions, managing system tasks.

Good at sequential tasks and decision-making.

Example: Intel Core i7, AMD Ryzen 5.

🎮 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)

A processor designed for parallel processing.

Originally made for rendering images, videos, and animations, but also used for heavy math tasks like AI, simulations, and crypto mining.

Can be dedicated (separate card with its own memory, e.g., NVIDIA RTX 4060) or integrated into the CPU.

💻 iGPU (Integrated GPU)

A GPU that’s built into the CPU or motherboard.

Shares system memory (RAM) instead of having its own VRAM.

More power-efficient and cheaper, but less powerful than a dedicated GPU.

Example: Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Vega (integrated).

Both

#

But electricity powers them both

#

im confused 😵‍💫

#

Storage is like storage for storage?

quaint helm
#

yes.........

jovial tide
#

like gb/tb for game storage and what not

#

Its important but for more preferences?

#

Depending on which games I run im assuming

quaint helm
#

hdd : most of the time its to store ur stuff that isnt important
ssd/nvme : sometimes it use to store OS and some games

#

What is os?

#

#

Ssd

#

Nvme

# jovial tide Nvme

nvme are a type of ssd that are (usually) connected directly to the motherboard instead of through a cable

#

theyre faster than regular ssd drives

#

im really dumbing this down

quaint helm
#

ok so all 3 have pros and cons
HardDisk drive pros : more storage for cheaper cost , Cons : slow
Solid state drive pros : fast , cons : slight expensive
non volatile memory pros : very fast , cons very expensive

jovial tide

Damn

#

custom sounds more expensive than prebuilt

#

No?

Another way

jovial tide

Buy prebuilt and upgrade?

that sounds even more expensive
