My first Build🥰🥰

[lime umbra]

Very noice for a first build, holy moly I just have to say that looks like a chonky mouse. I'd consider re-routing the gpu cable but das just me, awesome build.

[unborn crystal]

Love the purple

[magic scroll]

Why lian li fans with that gpu

What card even is that

Looks rlly small

[rich skiff]

What’s wrong with Lian li fans idk about the gpu but love lian li fans

[lime umbra]

tf does lian li fans do with the gpu?

[rich skiff]

^

[magic scroll]

each fan is 30$

[rich skiff]

Yes and?

[magic scroll]

thats 200$ just for the fans

[rich skiff]

Correct… they’re not budget fans… if your looking for that get thermaltake or some generic brand

[ivory marsh]

3060🥰

[rich skiff]

Very nice white aesthetic 🙌

[ivory marsh]

Wanted something comfy🥰🥰

[magic scroll]

mate.

[ivory marsh]

Thanks you guys and gals.🥰

[magic scroll]

thats a 300$ gpu paired with 200$ fans

coulda gotten a 7800 xt

[ivory marsh]

So?

[magic scroll]

quite stupid

[rich skiff]

🤷‍♂️not everyone chooses our performance and skimps aesthetic

[rich skiff]

For you maybe

[ivory marsh]

What Kylan said. There ain't no such thing as stupid.

[rich skiff]

This coming from a guy that chooses to play valorant 🗿

[lime umbra]

man you're allowed to have your own opinion but I wouldn't shit talk others just cause they pref asthetics over performance

[ivory marsh]

I'm a pretty jaded swe and wanted a fairly powerful and easy build. If you write code for long enough, you understand the ephemeral nature of Hardware.

[magic scroll]

IM SORRY I DONT ONLY PLAY TRIPPLE A GAMES

[rich skiff]

Why not by your logic aren’t you wasting your “performance” on shitty ass games like Val?

[ivory marsh]

Ppl who say "PeForMaNcE iS KinG" usually show how little they really know about computers.

[magic scroll]

no bcs ive been playing only spiderman remastered for like a week straight

[rich skiff]

Not really that demanding of a game still

[ivory marsh]

Let's see you move some registers and write kernels.

[magic scroll]

ok try playing that on 1440p ultimate rtx on on max

[ivory marsh]

And my build is powerful enough to play Genshin at 120 FPS.

[rich skiff]

Especially a remastered form console 💀

[ivory marsh]

On my 1440p monitor 😉

[rich skiff]

It’s not hard if you have the right monitor 🤣 talk to me at 4k then you might have something on me

[ivory marsh]

I just kept the mouse bc I'm too lazy to dig out my BT mouse.

And it works fine for gaming anyway.🤷🏽‍♀️

[ivory marsh]

Purple all the way hehe

[magic scroll]

what gpu u got

[rich skiff]

I could never get too far into coding cybersecurity is easier for me

[magic scroll]

u can play that on a potato

[ivory marsh]

At 120?

And I'm the queen of Sheeba

[magic scroll]

yes

1080p max on a rx 580 gets to 120 easily

[ivory marsh]

@magic scroll If you're just gonna dick around, quit it. I'm not interested in your opinion then.

[magic scroll]

i mean

[ivory marsh]

Specs in the name? Hm. Cringe.

[rich skiff]

3080 rtx evga

[magic scroll]

dont most people use that

[magic scroll]

but thats worse than my gpu 💀

[ivory marsh]

No, bc my computer is not my personality.

[magic scroll]

never said it is

[rich skiff]

🤣post your setup overall let’s see I will do the same

[magic scroll]

okay

[ivory marsh]

It clearly is though.😂

[rich skiff]

As I said I don’t focus on pure performance gotta have aesthetic

[magic scroll]

i got a rx 7700 xt ryzen 7 5800x3d 32 gb of ddr4 ram b550 prime plus mb 750 W psu 80+ gold from corsair arctic liquid freezer III 360m aio 6 fans from spacer uh pc cooler c3 T500 BK mid tower case

[rich skiff]

I didn’t ask that show us

🤣it easy to say performance but aesthetic is another story

[unborn crystal]

Oh shit there’s an argument lol

[rich skiff]

It’s a competition for him didn’t you know?

[magic scroll]

Here

[rich skiff]

💀💀💀💀

[magic scroll]

Its not

Its just dumb

To spend that much on aesthetics

[rich skiff]

Yeah we are done; that’s what I was arguing with 🤣🤣

[rich skiff]

Yeah from your dark and dreary case I would feel the same way 🤣

[coarse panther]

you put a liquid freezer 3 on a 5800x3d but try to talk shit for someone using $200 fans

[magic scroll]

its a 80$ aio..

[coarse panther]

could've went for a peerless assassin and spend the other $40 on a better CPU 🤡

[rich skiff]

Also wtf is your cables at least don’t be that cheap and by some 15$ cable extensions

[magic scroll]

Needed 3 case fans and at 10$ more u get way better performance and am5 support + better cooling for a future cpu clown

😭

[coarse panther]

this guy doesn't understand sarcasm

[magic scroll]

I dont see ur point

[rich skiff]

Why even bother buying a case with acrylic glass by your logic… should have bought one enclosed and spent the extra on a better gpu; like the Nvidia version goofy 🤓

[magic scroll]

Why does how it looks matter

[rich skiff]

🤣why did you put it on the desk and buy a glass case if it does not??🤔🤔

Your logic is not adding up

[ivory marsh]

No, lol. A PC is a tool to get stuff done and maybe have some enjoyment from a game or two. If one has stuff going on in life, one doesn't make a PC build one's whole purpose in life. When someone acts like he does, it just shows a lack of having a life outside PC building.

[rich skiff]

🗣️🗣️

[ivory marsh]

And if you want a comfy living space and don't want an eyesore in your room, you build a halfway-aesthetic rig.

Ergo, why I cared about aesthetics.

Anyway, gtg and continue writing my maths library. I swear why does C not have any decent libraries which don't require 2948395839 headers to be installed.

I had a brainwave yesterday.

[rich skiff]

Agreed; also a suggestion if you ever get a chance lian li strimmers like the ones on mine would make your build pop even better

Still clean though🙌

[ivory marsh]

Lemme look

hang on

[ivory marsh]

Streamers?

You mean the cables?

[coarse panther]

the RGB ones

[ivory marsh]

I couldn't get my PSU in white :(((

[rich skiff]

Yeah the gpu and psu cable

They are rgb and can do effects

[magic scroll]

Bcs that glass case was very cheap (spent 50$ on it) and putting it on the desk has 0 cost nerd

[rich skiff]

💀your calling me a nerd; didn’t you jsut sit here and scream at everyone about raw performance your little dick energy is showing dude; just stop

[magic scroll]

I didint scream

I just called it stupid

And u made it an argument

[ivory marsh]

Naa, idk, I just wanted the minimum. Compatibility is a problem. I might still put Gentoo on my machine bc Windows is pissing me off. And I only just found the packages to get my fans and GPU to behave so extra stuff and software to install could be a bit painful. Linux compat is always Russian Roulette.

@rich skiff

Sometimes things take hours to compile.

[rich skiff]

😭oh yeah that’s true you do run Linux; I could never have the patience

[ivory marsh]

I'll keep it in mind, though. 😉

[ivory marsh]

Not so difficult. And the customization is wild.

[rich skiff]

As I said man no one agrees with you and your logic is flawed because what you bought is not pure performance should have chime cheaper and gotten a better cpu or a. Better psu cheap ass volts

[ivory marsh]

Worth the investment of time and energy.

[rich skiff]

I believe it; but I like my GitHub and power shell for cybersecurity

[ivory marsh]

@magic scroll Some of your pipes and cables are blocking things. If you want performance, manage your cables first to not obstruct airflow.

[ivory marsh]

What's your GH?

[rich skiff]

I have to check I am not at my setup right now😭

[ivory marsh]

Mine's in my bio (at my website). Feel free to peruse and stalk. If you follow me, I'll follow back xx

[rich skiff]

🫡absolutely should be back Saturday currently in NC with my job to help with hurricane relief stuff but will foresure check it out

[coarse panther]

oh wow fancy repositories

i don't even put readme files

[magic scroll]

See you agree with me the pc is a tool and it doesnt matter how a tool looks as long as it delivers like would you rather have a cool looking knife with a dull blade or a crappy looking knife that cuts effortlessly

[coarse panther]

you act like the 3060 is the worst card existing

[magic scroll]

Not quite as the gpu fan pull and the case fan push offers enough airflow that my gpu stays under 60° even at 100% with the fans not even spinning

[magic scroll]

When u pair it with case fans that cost as much as it does if u buy it 2nd hand yeah it is stupid

[ivory marsh]

You should, though. You could make the coolest thing ever but no body would know what it does w/out a readme explaining its use.

You don't have to obv. But if you care about others using what you've made. Just my 2 cents.

[ivory marsh]

Do you buy your own parts with your own money?

[magic scroll]

Obviously?

[coarse panther]

and why do you care? even on full performance you easily pay $100-$150 for 10 fans, considering really good fans are $10 minimum

[magic scroll]

💀

[ivory marsh]

Oh, wow, be careful!! And yes, ofc, no worries.

[coarse panther]

my repos are usually not public, that's probably why I don't do it

[magic scroll]

Yeah but when u got 8 fans at the price of 20 🤷‍♂️

[ivory marsh]

Its giving spoiled brat

[magic scroll]

.

[ivory marsh]

Then it makes sense.

[magic scroll]

Id say yall give that more 💀

[coarse panther]

okay but why care? you're not the one spending money

[magic scroll]

I said its stupid and they started arguing

😭

[coarse panther]

it's not stupid to spend more money for something to look better

[ivory marsh]

I'm done with this convo.😂😂😂

[coarse panther]

yeah this doesn't make any sense

[magic scroll]

But when ur thing is gonna be obsolete in 1-2 years yeah it is

3060 is literally worse than the 1080

And thats near the end of its lifespan

[coarse panther]

If this PC was used to play games 24/7 this maybe would make sense but I'm pretty sure it is not

also, money comes and goes, it's not like they can't just spend more money in the future if they want to upgrade

[magic scroll]

Mentioned he/her is playing genshin

[coarse panther]

then the 3060 is completely fine

and not going obsolete anytime soon

[magic scroll]

😭

How

Its actually a bad card

[coarse panther]

you think the game suddenly gets so much better graphics wise it needs a new card in 2 years?

or the card gets so much worse?

I don't think so

[magic scroll]

Nope but games in general evolve at a pace cards dont

[coarse panther]

if they needed a better card I'm pretty sure they would've bought a better one

if the 3060 meets your requirements I don't see why you would have to sacrifice aesthetics to get a 7800xt

[magic scroll]

Sure u dont need it now but what if u need it in the future

[coarse panther]

then you upgrade

you can never 100% future proof

[magic scroll]

Bcs all black build are not ugly 💀

[coarse panther]

who said that???

[magic scroll]

U said u shouldnt sacrifice aesthetics for performance

[coarse panther]

i said you don't

[magic scroll]

If u pay 0 $ for aesthetics u are gonna end up with an all black build

[magic scroll]

And those are cool too

Why must you spend so much on lian li fans

[coarse panther]

i said if the 3060 meets your requirements you don't have to cheap out on other components (in this case aesthetics) to get more money for a better card

[coarse panther]

because they look nice, again, spending money for aesthetics is nothing bad

[lime umbra]

bruh this convo is still going on? 💀

[magic scroll]

Yeah and i said that if u do cheap out its not gonna look bad anyway bcs high end parts are made to look good even if u dont buy the white rgb version

[coarse panther]

yeah he doesn't seem to understand it

[coarse panther]

if you want white+rgb, you obviously buy white+rgb

[magic scroll]

My pc looks great and my only focus was performance

[coarse panther]

wait until this guy finds out I'm about to spend $350 on lian li fans but don't have a 4090

[magic scroll]

Do you have a 4080?

Or a 4070 ti super

Or a card thats actually able to run any game?

[coarse panther]

yes and I also custom looped my entire stuff and I could've spent that money on a 4090 but I didn't

the 30 series is not 20 years old

[magic scroll]

Thats fine then

[coarse panther]

you act like their card is gonna explode

[lime umbra]

It's never gonna be "worth it" to people that just focus on performance but if you're an enthusiasts then yeah, they might spend a bit more on looks compared to performance because they don't necessarily need that extra boost in performance. You see this kinda thing in any enthusitic hobby people take part in

[magic scroll]

Bit more?

Would u spend 200$ on fans and 300$ on ur gpu?

Just cause it looks cool?

[coarse panther]

yes people do that

[lime umbra]

depends on what game's I'm jamming but yeah

[coarse panther]

because they want their stuff to look nice

it's not that hard to understand

you wouldn't do it, but someone else would

[magic scroll]

Then in 2 years when ur card cant keep up no more u build a new one and throw out the old one?

And repeat until u quit gaming?

😭

[lime umbra]

I usually skip a generation before investing a new card but I would try and sell it like I would with any gpu I'm looking to replace?

That's how technology works?

[magic scroll]

And who is gonna buy your glitterbox filled with peak looks and trash perfromance?

[coarse panther]

what are you gonna do in 2028 when your 7700 XT goes obsolete

[lime umbra]

Idk, the same guy that baught my 2080 when I sold it? 💀

[magic scroll]

Id prob be able to work at that time so id save up and buy a top of the line setup

[magic scroll]

So now a 2080 is equal to a 3060?

😭

2080 was peak

And its the most popular 2nd hand generation

[coarse panther]

why would you buy a top of the line setup? probably because you want to play high quality games

if alyx wanted to do the same, they wouldn't have bought a 3060

but whatever, I have other stuff to do

have a nice day y'all

[magic scroll]

K you too

[iron pivot]

And I felt stupid for spending 100€ on Noctuas...

[true igloo]

Omfg this thread is long as hell

[mystic silo]

I didn’t read through the whole thread so someone correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this literally just a 50 series nest

Waiting for the drop?

[magic scroll]

Nope this was just a argument about if its stupid or not to spend as much as u spent on performance just on aesthetics

[magic scroll]

@mystic silo

[mystic silo]

So 50 series cards were never mentioned?

[rich skiff]

No

[mystic silo]

So why are we arguing over buying a budget card when 50 series releases soon

For all you guys know, the pc is meant to be a 50 series nest

[rich skiff]

….. what are you talking about

[mystic silo]

The person might have bought a 3060 just as a placement card until the 50 series drops

Then you snag a nice 50 series and it’s all of a sudden a very nice build

[rich skiff]

The person that owns said pc she got it to suit her needs the 3060 is fine it is not a nest… maybe read the thread a bit more as the guy said it was an arguement over price to aesthetics and performance

[mystic silo]

Maybe read my first message

[true igloo]

He is correcting u

As your first message states

[mystic silo]

💀

[mystic silo]

Nah he said read the thread so I thought he had missed my first message

[true igloo]

Sorry, mb

[mystic silo]

Nah all good

[ivory marsh]

Y'all need to calm down. PC Building is about building something that meets your needs, is pretty to look at, and HAVING FUN! The more y'all talk about "X is better than Y, shoulda gotten X", the dumber y'all sound.

[mystic silo]

I’m calm bruh lol

Part of pc building to people is how good of specs you can get though, that’s just part of the fun for some people

For you, you prefer something pretty to look at

I have a SFF build, so I prioritize performance over prettiness

I’m also short of space lol

[pastel siren]

it's not a real pc if it doesn't conform to my perfectionist performance oriented value standards

you must only buy the components the bapo hivemind considers worth buying

or your build shall be called many bad things (but its okay cuz it's not targeted at you personally but at the build)

🤖

[timber isle]

Based!!’111!!!

[mystic silo]

Real

[quick fern]

whoa i made it to the end of the thread, that was a journey

[timber isle]

Yeah

criticizing a build is only ever worth it if they haven’t purchased
