sec

#

i noticed it going to 4.4Ghz earlier

#

when i was doing a stresstest in AIDA

#

Almost 5GHZ single core ROFL

noble oak
#

Alright, that's much better indeed.

sonic oriole
noble oak
#

Now it's working like it should.

sonic oriole
#

4.7Ghz Multicore LOL

#

owh wait, that was a spike, seems to be 4.4ghz average

#

i also believe the CPU to be running a few degrees cooler too

#

I'm giggling like a little schoolgirl here and i'm not even a woman ROFL

#

(easily amused i guess)

#

gonna check what minecraft does to my temps now

#

I can't get my CPU to go over 70 in MC right now HAHA

#

and chunks seem to generate a lot faster too

#

So thanks for that @noble oak 😄

noble oak
sonic oriole
#

haha

crimson scroll
#

Great guide, same one I used

carmine horizon
#

hi

noble oak
#

i currently live in germany

#

oh did i send it in US partpicker

#

my bad

#

sorry

sage nexus
#

Any preferences abt say for example nvidea or amd, intel or amd etc.?

chilly horizon
#

cpu wise

#

gpu wise it doesn't matter much, just software really

#

id always go nvidia, but thats because im used to them by now

crimson scroll
chilly horizon
white sequoia
#

I prefer amd for gpus because of linux support and lower power draw

#

At the moment, intel is ahead on cpus, but if zen 4 is as good as AMD claims, it will be better in my eyes

#

Socket support is pretty nice

noble oak
#

pain

sage nexus
#

yes ik we all think different and it's mostly just opinion and or current pricing there isn't one better at all times

#

that's why i am asking @noble oak

noble oak
#

oh

#

i prefer nvidia

#

im not too sure about cpus

sage nexus
#

what are you palanning to do wiuth the pc exept for minecrfat

#

any modded mc perhaps?

noble oak
#

well probably school work

#

yeah def

sage nexus
#

okay modded mc is verry cpu intensive so having multiple cores there would be nice

noble oak
#

my macbook cant handle too many mods lol

#

hmm

sage nexus
#

how much storage are you using right now and or need?

noble oak
#

well for the pc im planning to get 1tb ssd

#

currently i have 1tb storage, and used up half of it in my mac

sage nexus
#

i have 3 tb and used almost 2 lol

#

but i do store a lot of videos etc. on my hdd

noble oak
#

hmm

#

oh true i forgot

#

a hdd would be useful

sage nexus
#

what was the budget exactly?

noble oak
#

around 1.3k

#

maybe even 1350 euros

#

1.4*

#

1400

sage nexus
#

any case prefrences and or form factor?

#

like atx etc.

noble oak
#

atx

#

yeah

#

corsair 4000D airflow is my fav case

sage nexus
#

are there retailers etc. you want me to exclude?

#

like for example items sold on amazon but not shipped directly from amazon?

noble oak
#

hmm

#

just anything from trustworthy sites

#

like newegg and amazon

#

sold from them

sage nexus
noble oak
#

they have it right?

#

there is a germany option in newgg

sage nexus
#

idk i live nextdoors in belgium

noble oak
#

yeah there is a germany

sage nexus
#

i don't think they have a warehouse in germany tho, i think they just do overseas shipping

noble oak
#

yeah that works

#

anyways im sorry i have to go do some school work now

#

ill be back soon

#

bye

sage nexus
#

okay i'll see what i can make work

#

don't think ordering overseas will come out cheaper, i tried to add the 4000d and it was cheaper at first but shipping was €80 making it alr more expensive but then you haven't included tax yet. in conclusion, buying from german and or european stores would cost 110 instead of the 200 it would cost aftyer tax and shipping from the us

noble oak
#

is it okay to use a small cheese block instead of thermal paste?

nocturne folio

I'm sure

noble oak
#

Anyone good knowledge on pc air cooling

#

Dm me

white sequoia
#

Put cooler on, put in fans blowing from front to back. Done

#

A lot simpler than water cooling

stray mica
#

big recommend noctua tower cooler, or if you’re tighter on budget a cooler master hyper 212evo

#

or if you’re not overclocking and the cpu isn’t insane like a 12900KS or a ryzen 9 5950x the included cooler if you still have it

#

but you want a good airflow case regardless, no solid front panel, couple fans at the front and one at the back (if it’s in-budget)

crimson scroll
#

212 evo is overpriced now imo

#

vetroo v5 is usually a good choice

deft pilot
#

Im finally buying a GPU but i do have one question does the PSU cable or what ever it is called in order to connect it to the power supply does the cable come with it?

nocturne folio
#

no

#

(may depend on brand but unless it is listed in product info no)

deft pilot
#

Hm

#

Im gonna get the Rx 6500 xt

#

Its not the best decision but will boost up my work flow

#

Cause atm i am using a intergrated

nocturne folio
#

I would advise checking your power supply to check that it has enough spare pins to supply it

deft pilot
#

My power supply aint gonna be the problem im comfident

#

600W

#

And about pins

#

Yhea that is fine

nocturne folio
#

good to hear

#

gonna assume you have checked your box from your psu for spares

white sequoia
#

My local best buy had several in stock for msrp, along with a few 6600xt and 3060s. The world ia healing.

nocturne folio
#

nice

deft pilot
#

and a new 500W supply

#

cause i figured out mine is from Xilencer

#

which sucks

#

so i bought a be quiet gold

white sequoia
#

Anyone know how long i can leave out an opened tube of thermal paste( nt-h1)?

void basalt
#

so i want to buy the hyte y60 but is it like they say it is? and would you recomend

noble oak
#

does anyone know what fans are used by skytech gaming in their custom prebuilts

crimson scroll
#

huh?

winged gyro
#

@noble oak the fans dont matter too much unless youre running something crazy powerful. I recommend you get Noctua fans. Noctua fans are some of the most high rated in the world and affordable.

crimson scroll
#

Wouldn't call noctua affordable

noble oak
#

The fans used in the prebuilt looks like noctua it doesnt say though but it looks like them @winged gyro

white sequoia
#

They are not noctua

#

Noctua = no rgb and expensive

sage nexus
crimson scroll
#

he's not saying it's bad, just that they aren't the fans in the skytech prebuilts

#

because of the qualities he mentioned

sage nexus
#

but them brown fans are ugly tho lol

#

arctic makes good fans as well as seen in some tests

white sequoia
#

I like noctuas, but im saying that those reasons are why skytech would never use them

winged gyro
#

@white sequoia true thats why skytech wouldnt use them but they are not expensive. check the benchmarks on temps, you get what you pay for.

white sequoia
#

Read people

crimson scroll
#

they are definitely expensive...

winged gyro
#

no point in me arguing whether its expensive or not. that just depends on what you value in the product. if you think its expensive then I believe you. for me its not

crimson scroll
#

in terms of raw price noctuas are some of the most expensive fans

#

expensive doesn't mean bad value

#

i own noctuas myself

#

but objectively they are expensive

white sequoia
#

I know someone with noctuas and they are quiet as hecc

south plume
#

dont over pay for noctua unles u really care abt sound i run stock nzxt fans in an nzxt 510 elite case with a 3080ti that never goes above 80c and a i9 10900k with a 280 rad that never goes above 40c

#

plus u wont even hear fans with head phones on anyway imo nocs are just a total waste of money

i currently have 7.2 GB ranm and i want to upgrade it. is 16 good? also any place i should buy it from?

white sequoia
#

16gb is great, i like crucial ram but corsair and gskill a also pretty good

#

Speed and type will depend on what cpu and mobo u have

I use Patriot Viper 3200mhz

Make sure to enable xmp in the bios after upgrading

can someone tell me if the gigabyte b660m ds3h will work fine with the i5 12400f

white sequoia

#

what specs would yall put into a pc for 2700$

noble oak
#

cè un italiano???

tropic arrow
#

what

white sequoia
#

Or 3080

nocturne folio
#

They need to understand that if there is the (I'm 270 miles from my pc so I can't fully remember) PCIE ×16 slot (I think that is the right thing) thingy on the motherboard it can hold the gpu

white sequoia
#

Yes

dapper grotto
white sequoia
#

i would say 80 tier or 90 tier for that price

tropic arrow
#

i want a nvida fsfs i got a amd rn and i dont really like how there setup with stuff is @dapper grotto soo i just dont rlly know tht much about pc's so thats why im asking for good pc specs

dapper grotto
white sequoia
#

I would certainly rather build my own

dapper grotto
#

are you in the united states?

white sequoia
#

Yeah?

dapper grotto
#

for pricing info*

#

give me like 15-20 mins going to grab my dunkin coffee and I can tell you what would be MIN/MAX for your budget

white sequoia
#

I already know this stuff

dapper grotto
#

you said $2700 including everything right?

white sequoia
#

Not me

white sequoia
dapper grotto
#

I tried replying to @tropic arrow but it would keep grabbing you for some reason

white sequoia
#

Weird

dapper grotto
#

it is

#

he should just get a 3080 12 GB or 3080ti

#

they are so cheap the 3080 12GB

#

MSRP

white sequoia
#

Or 6800xt

tropic arrow
#

nahh i want to build it my self i alrady got a prebuild and uit sucks ass

dapper grotto
#

nah if he's going to get that just get 6900xt

#

same price basically

tropic arrow
#

but i want nvida i dont want amd i alrady got a amd

dapper grotto
#

or get 3080ti

#

on new egg the 3080 12GB is MSRP certain days and they are in stock for a long time

tropic arrow
#

alright thanks

dapper grotto
#

your motherboard is most important though. Everything starts from there

#

then you choose everything else

#

you want to FUTURE PROOF your system

dapper grotto
#

be back in a bit

white sequoia
crimson scroll
#

I disagree on that statement as well

dapper grotto
crimson scroll
#

Figure out what you want to do with the pc, then choose your parts

white sequoia
#

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

crimson scroll
#

I wouldn't say start with the motherboard

white sequoia
#

Mobo comes after cpu

crimson scroll
#

And I wouldn't say future proofing is viable for all applications

dapper grotto
#

future proof as in not for your lifetime but be up to date for X amount of years

#

same applies with networkings

white sequoia
#

That's called constant updating

dapper grotto
#

you always buy a separate modem and separate router to future proof

#

same concept applies to PC's

#

like I said I'll be back in a bit

white sequoia
#

You never know when there will be a 50% perf jump or a game like crysis just around the corner

Hi, I am building a pc with a ASUS prime b660m-a Wi-Fi d4 with Bits power 3 pack RGB BPTA NOTOS 120m fans and I don't know where to plug in the RGB pins in the motherboard. I only have a 4 pin RGB header pin but my fans pin is a 3 pin

i currently have a 760gtx and am looking to upgrade to a (2nd hand) graphics card with a budget of £250 ($313.60) im looking at the nvidia 2060 or the 1660 super or the 1070ti, what do you think i should get (im buying from CEX (https://webuy.com/ ) because i have vouchers)

white sequoia
#

If u can find a 2060 that cheap then that one is best

#

I cant check their prices tho

#

It says access denied

jagged condor
#

same as 1660 super

#

1070 ti is £210

white sequoia
#

it beats the 1660super

#

1070ti looks like it has better raster, but it doesnt have any raytracing, and it doesnt have dlss

#

i would go with the 2060

jagged condor
#

kk thnx

hot arch
#

So um I've been thinking of buying a new pc for gaming at 1080p, 30-60fps (any game). What's the price approximately and is it recommended to buy a prebuilt or build it on my own in this case?

#

There's a store near me that buys broken products that gets insuranced, found a busted pc with that^ in it. Put in a 2070 Super, has been at my side for years

#

Nah 1200 isn't bad for that pc tho

#

Specially with a 3600

#

Not a bad find

potent yacht
#

the website i got it on has many good pcs for a good price and u can configure them aswell and either pick to build urself and save some money or prebuilt

cyan wagon
#

Yea my brother just got a pc, I can't think of what it is from for the life of me, but he paid like 1500 or 1600 for a 3070ti, i9 8 core don't know what model, and 16gb of like 5200 ram

full peak
potent yacht
#

its fine

cyan wagon
#

Yea I mean I used that card for like 3 years in a different pc. Solid card

#

Especially for 1080p

#

Keep in mind this was also right after the 20 series was announced, so especially at the time it was a helluva find

white sequoia
#

USD??

#

Ouch

white sequoia
#

10900k had more cores and was faster

white sequoia
cyan wagon
white sequoia
#

Ah

#

Not an i9 or an 8 core

#

12700k is a very good cpu

cyan wagon
#

Yea I see 8 processor and I think 8 core lol

#

Or sorry 8 P cores or whatever

#

I think Cyberpower built it for him

#

They had a promo where you could get a bunch of free upgrades

#

So it was like 1500 or 1600 for 12700k, 3070ti, 16gb 5600 ram, AIO water cooler, they overclocked it for him

#

Bunch of good shit for the price

This isn't exactly a question about building the pc, but is instead a question about monitors.

I'm planning on getting a second monitor but don't know what brand to look at for monitor mounts, and I don't want to risk buying a cheap one that breaks.

#

Any suggestions on brands?

#

In what context?

#

What gpu is actually going in?

#

What is it being used for?

white sequoia
#

Keeping it under 500, already have cpu, ram, and hdd, used for light gaming. GPU will be whichever r9 card i can find cheapest (390, 390x, fury, furyx)

helloo so uh I need a gaming pc for streaming and content creation and honestly my knowledge in pc parts isn't that great

#

id prob be making unreal engines animation as well

#

budget is like 900 i think or 1000 since am getting this pc for my birthday

white sequoia
#

Unreal 5 or 4?

#

5 likes more ram than 4

#

Or 1000, i5 + 6600 if u can get a good price or 3050

# misty surge Thank you!

Depends on where your bar for performance is - my bar was at GTX 980, so when I upgraded to an RTX 2060 it was still a marked upgrade in performance. If your bar is at 2080, then 3060 is a very marked increase in performance. If you're coming from integrated graphics then I don't see why not go balls-to-the-wall if you got the budget for it and you can find something for it.

misty surge
white sequoia
#

A 2080 to 3060 isnt a massive increase in performance, iirc the 3060ti barely outperformed it, which is cool - nice generational leap - but there is no reason to go from a 2080 to a 3060

What would be the most optimal place for the external fan?

#

Actually. I have the radiator

#

Could I mount it ?

#

Imma try do mount the be quiet radiator

white sequoia
#

why did you buy a laptop if ur just gonna do this?

tropic arch
#

😄

tropic arch
#

As I didn't game for a long time when I bought the msi gf65

white sequoia
#

how does the cooler even do anything? Its just sitting on it?

tropic arch
#

XTU Benchmark before was 2217 now its 2261

white sequoia
#

the pipes carry heat inside thru water, not tru the copper

#

it barely makes a difference

tropic arch
#

Better benchmark score

white sequoia
#

not much better

tropic arch
#

They should go in a circle then

#

But they have dead ends

white sequoia
#

thats how heat pipes work

#

theres the pipe with a wick inside, and water

tropic arch
#

Thats new info to me

#

Thought they move the heat themself

#

but the raditoar gets hots

white sequoia
tropic arch
#

the added radiator gets hot/warm

#

and if I hold my hand out, I can feel the warm air that the fan is pushing through the radiator

#

so it is pulling heat

tropic arch
white sequoia
#

it looks like u mounted the cooler on the condenser section, so that would make it work

#

i still would not do that tho lmao

tropic arch
#

I was tired of getting 95 degrees CPU at idle

#

also the thermal paste applied by the factory was awful

@white sequoia one of my copper lines has a dent on it as the cooler fell over once and hit it

yall what should I upgrade for better frames? Cpu (Currently have Ryzen 5 5600g) or GPU (Currently have 3060)?

crimson scroll

in what games?

#

my answer will probably be the gpu, but it depends

noble oak
#

warzone

white sequoia
#

neither of those should be holding you back much

ig but I just wanna hit solid 144 frames

@noble oak

noble oak

#

Then CPU is the problem for sure

white sequoia
#

No

#

Its a 5600g

#

What resolution are u gaming at?

fiery river
#

@noble oak If you are just going for 144FPS ... dont even build a PC.... look at like the Asus RoG g14's and the monitor you want 😛 it does 144hrz 2k external monitor no issue... the laptop its self has a 144hrz in it... and its only 1100.....

#

(1100-1300)

nocturne folio
fiery river
#

@noble oak @nocturne folio oh lordy.... you 2... are you guys actually using the 5600g? if so your limiting factor is NOT the CPU its the bredth of your windows knowledge.

... sec I will get steps for you to fix your issue.

nocturne folio
#

Keep in mind I don't have funds lol

fiery river
#

Windows key > gpu > Graphics settings

#

In this screen you will see Custom options for app's

#

click browse go find ALL of the exe's for the game you are playing launchers actual game client files... anything that is app / exe. Select it

#

It will now appear in list there. Click on it You will see a button appear called options

#

click high performance.

#

IF you do not do this you are using your 5600G as the CPU and GPU for almost EVERY app / game on the laptop.

#

(yes it will show you using your "GPU" but your not using the deticated GPU your using the APU)

nocturne folio
#

I already had that setup... I get 100fps or so on Enlisted max settings but in the future eventually I will be upgrading cpu

fiery river
#

What title? cause your doing something wrong bruv... My GPU is 30% slower than yours and I pull 200+ In most titles I play.

#

What resolution monitor are you trying to drive with the 3050?

#

and how many of them.

#

OHHHHH enlisted...

#

That is Dragor Engine... it ummm kinda sorta has absurdly poor thread optimization. @nocturne folio a really fast quadcore will be faster than a 5950x

nocturne folio
#

well that was just an example...

fiery river
#

Shoot me a DM we can schedule a time to chat cause still a few things you could do probably.

nocturne folio
#

hey don't worry about it bro

fiery river
#

Hehe I do programing and competitive overclocking man... this is kinda my stick.

white sequoia
#

The 5600g is a desktop cpu

fiery river
#

I have done a 5600G - NoGPU / 3060 / 6600xt / 6900xtxh / 3090ti. Did each of them with multiple cooling solutions from OpenAir v Case (fanonly)
O v C v Sealed (WC and ChilledWC and bastardized EKWB sealed LN2 Tek plate) sooooo kinda know it fairly well.

#

Yea depending on what patch / windows flare the hybrid / laptop power settings have crept into desktop versions a couple times.

white sequoia
#

I guess thats windows being stupid again

fiery river
#

Yea... windows 11 why great in theroy and for anyone running 21:9 3:2 32:9 monitor's has just had MAJOR weird crap.

#

AKA if you do NOT use a pin but ALWAYS enter password the OS operates 17% faster overall and its SSD access time is almost doubled.

nocturne folio
#

I could have sworn linux was just a legacy thing... until recently I didn't realise it was an actively used thing

fiery river
#

@nocturne folio Yea. My programing mentor didnt belive me so I removed his pin and disabled it in reg... he was peeved at first but later in day he buzzed me and was like... "Dood... I am sorry you were right I went to open OBS to record a interview and it opened in under a second... I was having to wait like 10-15 seconds before)

Steam deck uses linux

#

Android is linux

#

ChromeOS is linux

#

MacOS is based on BSD

#

Same with ios

#

Servers use Linux

nocturne folio

lmao I had no idea

@nocturne folio @white sequoia
Actually now with windows 11 you can install windows like linux from commandline only... and have EXTREMELY granular control of what all windows parts are operating and functional.

@white sequoia Android uses BASTARDIZED linux.... aka mono.

white sequoia
#

True

#

I have EndeavourOS on my secondary laptop

fiery river
#

Yea my mentor is a huge Linux guy... but he also uses git from commandline line a pleb cause he think it makes him look cool.

white sequoia
#

Runs sooouch better than windows

#

I use git from cli because its faster

fiery river
#

Eh windows is fine... just gotta have a fairly large pool of knowledge.

#

<----- filthy scrub... I just use VS built in git....

white sequoia
#

I use Jetbrains IDEs

fiery river
#

yea was about to say for cherry pick i use rider.

white sequoia
#

Sometimes i use the git in jetbrains so i dont have to use keys and access tokens

#

Rider beats VS for me

fiery river
#

But I am kinda stuck on VS. Cause I do Xamarin / Maui.

#

I love rider but umm... go do mobile on it. you will cry.

white sequoia
#

I use Rider for Unity and Unreal mostly

fiery river
#

No hot refresh / hot reload

white sequoia
#

CLion for pure cpp and rust

white sequoia
fiery river
#

mmmm rust... wanted to get into that for a bit.

white sequoia
#

Even on VS i close the editor

nocturne folio
fiery river
#

ummmm they work great in VS transpiles the code instead of compiles

#

But even then I use resharper for the builder.

white sequoia
#

It wrecks my blueprints

#

Unity compiles stuff itself

#

Rider has great ue integration

#

And its ui is sooo much better

But it can be difficult

#

The motherboard usually comes with a guide or something to give you an idea where to plug stuff in

#

If it's new

#

There are also tons of guides on YouTube if you need visuals

#

And don't be afraid to mix brands as they will all work together. The benefit of using the same company is that you only need one software for rgb

#

The part you should care about the most is the power supply as cheap ones can be a hazard. I've been using a Corsair one and haven't had any issues with it

#

If it's a safe one it will have a badge saying 80 plus bronze or gold rated

#

There are platinum rated ones but they are less common

#

If you do get a pre built though, just make sure the ram is in dual channel

#

And if ur getting the parts new take a picture of the part with receipt if u get a warranty just so you have proof.

nocturne folio
#

One thing to note: DO NOT MIX RAM SPEEDS

hardy pasture
#

And make sure your motherboard can handle the ram speed you buy your ram at

#

Like an x570 board won't work with ddr5 ram

Hey guys, looking to upgrade my PC:
I'm rocking a NZXT h510 case
10700K with a NZXT x53 kraken cooler (280mm I think)
32gb of Corsair Vengeance Ram @ 3600 I think
some mid-grade MSI motherboard
and a Asus RTX 3060
(4tb of barracuda SSHD + 1tb 980 pro)
and some various NZXT lighting, two AER RGB fans, and two light strips (only one works because it's all old gen used NZXT crap)
I'm just wondering what I should upgrade. Thinking of getting a 3080, or atleast a 3070, but would my cpu become a bottleneck?

the hunstman is $80 (amazon) and the Apex 3 TLK is $45 (steelseries)

steelseries has a promo though thats fairly good, newsletter10 should work as long as you sub to the newsletter so its $40.50 without tax and shipping

Getting a 3080 then is like buying a 2080 now, it's not a bad card performance wise, just not good price/perf, high power consumption, and not the best

So I'm not currently building a PC but I did buy one in December as prebuilt was cheaper than building currently. Recently it black screened... No idea why.. PC boots up but no signal to the monitors. its an AMD build. has an amd ryzen 7 5800x and an AMD Radeon 6700xt. 64gb ram, 1000w power supply, two 1TB ssd's. Anyone have an idea where to start? i did take the SSD from the PC im currently using and swapped it to my newer PC to try to get signal to the monitors and still no luck. No signal whether I plug the HDMI into the motherboard or Graphics card. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

crimson scroll
#

You wouldn't get a signal from the motherboard even if everything works perfectly

#

No igpu on the 5800x

#

Try a different cable, different hdmi slot on the gpu, or plug the gpu into a different pcie slot

#

Or swap out the gpu

#

Basically try to eliminate any of those items I mentioned as being the problem

mystic verge
#

Guys do you know if the nzxt foundation pc can support a 3060 ti

crimson scroll
#

With a 650w psu? Sure

#

The other components won't draw that much power

#

~200w for the gpu, ~125w for the cpu, ~50w for the motherboard

queen stratus
#

They have extreme bias against amd

mystic verge
calm hawk
crimson scroll
#

Nah, the 760 will work

#

Unless you mean it doesn't have the right video outputs

#

It'll fit in the motherboard fine

calm hawk
crimson scroll
#

760 power draw is 170w

#

One 8 pin (rated for 150w) and the 75w from the pcie slot should be enough

#

Also the 8 pin should be a 6+2

#

You should be able to just leave out the 2
