cleanup

[rose quarry]

first off clean up

[devout monolith]

yep

then organize it a bit

make everything nice and straight

[rose quarry]

yup I was typing out organize

[sharp totem]

Ok thank you, I will clean all the mess

[rose quarry]

try adding some decoration

plants, leds

shit like that

[devout monolith]

some docks for your controllers would look nice

[rose quarry]

Yup

[sharp totem]

Wait can you guys please recommend me some good mouse pads or something that I can buy

[rose quarry]

gutzy Aiden

is a good brand

[devout monolith]

that's a big question

[sharp totem]

I’ll check that out

[rose quarry]

Alr, I’ve had mine for like 2 yrs or longer

it’s rlly dirty now so ima get a new@one

But it’s a good one

[sharp totem]

I’m from Australia, so if I wanted to get one can they ship here over to me?

[rose quarry]

I would recommend getting a new desk to if u can

[rose quarry]

I’m not sure excactly

[sharp totem]

Yes I’m planning on it

[rose quarry]

Alright

[clear coral]

@sharp totem I can help, first clean up

Then, put the pc on your right side

Then, maybe get a better deskpad/ deskmat

[sharp totem]

Yeah i think putting the pc on the right would look better

[sharp totem]

Im planning on getting one, but i just dont know from where yet

[clear coral]

Hmm sure

Currently I’m using one from amd

Like Amd collab

[sharp totem]

ohh

is it good?

[clear coral]

Looks alright

Just the all Amd theme kek

Look in #build-showcase

Although not so noticeable

[sharp totem]

and also i got another problem with my setup.

my pc looks so boring like the fans of it, the LED everything about it

it just seems so boring

look at these other guys pcs they have cool lightings and everything

but mine looks so basic

[clear coral]

Its more of the cpu cooler

[clear coral]

Get a ak120 for 19$, greatly improve cooling and looks

Also... Your gpu looks so..

The pc case is good

Just the internal... Feels off

[inner lintel]

yeah clean ur food and trash lol

[sharp totem]

lmao..

i have to clean it yes i do agree

[clear coral]

Yuh

[clear coral]

Btw what spec u got

[inner lintel]

what gpu is that

[clear coral]

Looks like gt1030

[inner lintel]

oh man that’s badass

[clear coral]

No clue tho

@sharp totem may i ask your specs tho

[sharp totem]

wait guys you know what

im gonna try fix my other pc it looks better and runs better too

[clear coral]

Sure why not

[sharp totem]

and it just runs gaming way smoother than the one im using rn

[clear coral]

Cuz the gpu is kinda bad on this pc

Really low profile

[sharp totem]

im really not smart with pcs so i might say something wrong but im currently using a 1650

[clear coral]

Oh i see

[sharp totem]

and intel i5

for the cpu

[clear coral]

9400f i assume

Cuz that cooler

[inner lintel]

why get gutsy aiden when you could get a $20 amazon desk mar

mar

[sharp totem]

yes 9400f

[inner lintel]

mat

lol

[rose quarry]

Cuz they aren’t good quality?

I had one. While back

[inner lintel]

mines just fine

[rose quarry]

it was shit

[inner lintel]

what makes a mousepad “shit”

[rose quarry]

U prolly haven’t had a good one to compare it to then

[inner lintel]

it’s preference

[rose quarry]

Multiple factors

[rose quarry]

It’s not

really

[inner lintel]

it is

really

[clear coral]

Lul thats my first cpu :))

[sharp totem]

what i call a shit mousepad is a mousepad that doesent look good and doesent feel good

[inner lintel]

yeah. my mousepad looks good and feels good

the stitching is good

no reason to not like it

[rose quarry]

i would still reccomend a gutzy aiden one if u want a good design on it and for it to be great quality

[inner lintel]

fair

[rose quarry]

thats my opinion

[inner lintel]

i was mostly kidding

[rose quarry]

i have one

i love it

[inner lintel]

but the glide on mine is actually pretty good

[rose quarry]

i wasnt meaning to sound rude if i did

im jus saying its not usually preference

[sharp totem]

what games do you guys play? mainly

[rose quarry]

mouse pads are better than others

[rose quarry]

cod, valorant, a lil fortnite here and there

[inner lintel]

nah ur good lol

[rose quarry]

dont play a lot

[sharp totem]

what kind of cod?

[inner lintel]

i mean, you’re right. the quality isn’t preference. the feel is obviously

[clear coral]

Guess what

Mine is legit amd co-op

[inner lintel]

@clear coral when r u planning on a cpu upgrade

don’t u have a bottleneck rn

[clear coral]

Who knows, still thinking if 5800x3d is worth it

[clear coral]

No bottleneck

[inner lintel]

oh cool

nevermind rhen

[clear coral]

Unless badly optimized games like tarkov

But smart access memory helps with that abit

[sharp totem]

can i see a pic of ur guys pcs?

[clear coral]

Sure

[rose quarry]

look at the photo before urs

[sharp totem]

damnn pretty cool

[rose quarry]

[inner lintel]

in total like 1.3k, the pc is like 800

[crisp frost]

aio installed I see

[sharp totem]

damn 1k? thats not even that expensive i thought it wouldv been 3k or something

cause of how cool it looks

[clear coral]

[crisp frost]

🎶 I'm too broke to afford anything🎶

[inner lintel]

thank you! got the gpu used & already had the desk

i built some of the keyboard a while ago

[crisp frost]

what gpu btw?

[inner lintel]

6700xt

[crisp frost]

nice

[clear coral]

[clear coral]

Btw whats the mousepad called

I might get it

[inner lintel]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B86BDLSX

ain’t bad for $20

[clear coral]

i see

[inner lintel]

i love mine

if the glide isnt as good as youd like, get some $5 glide dots on aliexpress

what

oh lmao

bros thirsty

and dirty

looks like my 15 year old sisters room

nasty ass mf

on god

ooo

specs?

thought you said cpus i was so confused

what r u upgrading to

oooo

nice

eh it should be fine

its not that good

but the 3060 isnt super great either in todays age

it shouldbe fine

that wont happen really

youd get like 50 fps on low 1080p

oh

id recommend getting a nicer cpu eventually

i want to play star citizen SO bad too bro

but ive heard its so buggy and not worth the $

5600 is a good option

awesome

cus i 100% want to play

dm me if you want someone to play with lol

but yeah a 5600 would be perfect for ya

i need to watch some more

i used to

that games so cool

starfields going to be creazy too

youll be fine its not bad at all

im building my first one tmmrw, already started, its not bad at all

SAME

starfield will be sick

i hope

i sold my series s to afford the pc

dropped 1.3k on a pc... dont need the xbox anymore sadly

lucky

oh yeah

no problem with that

everything is really

and #pc-assembly-help helps a lot

yep just slides in a slot

psu is easy but youre going to have to re-route cables

which if u take ur time itll look nice

youll be fine

trust me

same... thats good when it comes to pcs

you dont wanna spend money on a build for it to look like a mess cus you cant spend the time to manage the cables

yeah thats fair

just gotta take your time and its easier if the mobo is out of the case

so you can have a more steady hand

make sure its oriented right and itll go right into place

whatre your current specs

ill lyk

like ur current mobo

oh yeah idk what that is sorry

[clear coral]

?

[inner lintel]

?

i was going to plug it into pcpartpicker to see if itd work

but its not on there

with a 3060 you should be fine... it just might be a little slow

ill look at the pcie

[clear coral]

3060

[inner lintel]

its 3 yeah

itll be 100% slower than gen 4

really? maybe it doesnt

yeah

i do know it doubles the rate tho

[clear coral]

It doesn't

Unless 6500xt

[inner lintel]

oh ok

[clear coral]

32gb isnt expensive anyways

[inner lintel]

yeah i got 32gb for $70 but i got rgb and 3600mhz. get a solid 32gb silicon set for like

cheap cheap

[clear coral]

6500xt does matter with gen3 or 4 because it runs on pcie x8

[inner lintel]

ah ok

isnt 8 x2 faster than 16

[clear coral]

Yeah so like already limited bandwidth

[clear coral]

No, x8 is 2times slower

[inner lintel]

mobo is easy

[inner lintel]

thats what i meant lol

[clear coral]

Cuz 16/2

[inner lintel]

sorry

alr cool, thanks for the info tho

[clear coral]

[inner lintel]

mobo is like 6 screws lol

none of it is hard. unless ur doing a custom loop

lmao

yeah but its not hard

at all

[clear coral]

What replacement

[inner lintel]

the manual tells u exactly what to do

[clear coral]

I can help

Oh, its easy

[inner lintel]

yeah like i said

6 screws and some plugs

[clear coral]

Take a picture of the iopins

[inner lintel]

and obvi the ram and cpu and gpu

but thats easy bro

[clear coral]

First take off gpu

Then the cpu cooler

Then cpu, and ram

Ssd

And then, unplug everything

Put new mobo in

Put everything back on

Just be careful, the main io

Is different with mobo

1080p wise a 3090

1440p wise 3080ti or 3080 12gb

👍

Got it for like 350buck

[inner lintel]

a 3060? don’t get that

got my 6700xt used for 225

[clear coral]

Nice

But i sell my 3070 for 250

Wanna come to hk someday?

Gpus are cheap here

3070 is 40% faster than 3060 lmao

[crisp frost]

And 3080?? 80%??

Genuine question?
