[tepid frost]

12900k, 3080/ti or 3090/ti 64gb ddr5, asus maximus z690 hero , ek aio

[noble oak]

or wait a bit for the 13900k, 4090/ti, and z790 motherboard

[dense knoll]

yall

i need help deciding between a 3070, 3070 ti and a 3080

i already have a 5800x

my parents tell me that the 3080 would be unnecessary, but i want as little bottleneck possible

(for 1440p 144hz)

also theres the added longetivity of the 3080

[elfin dirge]

whats your budget

[dense knoll]

enough for the 80

[crimson scroll]

Any rtx titles?

[dense knoll]

minecraft

wanna buy control

[crimson scroll]

How much do you care about that

6900xt is a better rasterized buy than a 3080

[dense knoll]

i do care for raytracing, thats why i want a rtx

[manic arch]

what's the best value for a 2k budget (prebuilt is preferred since i have no pc building experience)

[crimson scroll]

Gotta start somewhere with pc building

[dense knoll]

also i wanna get fh5

[crimson scroll]

Otherwise it's a vicious cycle of never building yourself

I wouldn't bother with the 3070ti

[manic arch]

is it cheaper to build yourself or more expensive

[dense knoll]

true

bad value

[manic arch]

like for the same pc would it cost less if i bought all the parts and built it myself

[crimson scroll]

Get a 3070, sell it later when 4000 comes out if you don't feel you have enough performance

[crimson scroll]

Depends but generally building yourself has better performance for the same price

[manic arch]

ok

ty

[crimson scroll]

Better components, airflow, and you get to say you built it yourself

On the flip side, it's not a unified warranty

Same goes for tech support

[dense knoll]

also i kinda want the better longetivity of the 80 bc ill keep the card prolly like 5-6 years

maybe even longer idk

[crimson scroll]

Then get the 3080

[dense knoll]

ok

thanks

[torpid wadi]

it's really not that hard to build a pc

[waxen tinsel]

Should I get the asus 240hz or alienware?

[crimson scroll]

Specific monitor models would be helpful

[pulsar fossil]

And what you want to use it for

[waxen tinsel]

Asus Tuf VG259QM and Alienware AW2521HF

[abstract heron]

how do i set a fan curve so my fans dont ear rape me when playing games?

[half cape]

is it wise if i use 2 RTX 3090 ti

[crimson scroll]

for what purpose

[waxen tinsel]

Which one is better for picture quality

[cloud python]

What gpu is worth buying

[gentle vessel]

1 is already enough for everything somewhat, a second one is a waste of money in my opinion

[red flicker]

zhiza

[crimson scroll]

they didn't say anything about sli

there are legitimate multi gpu workloads, just not gaming

3090/3090ti are really workstation cards anyways

nvidia marketed them towards gamers but the amount of vram implies otherwise

i do suspect that the user was trolling anyways

but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[devout wolf]

there are workstation laptops

a 3090 in a laptop would just be unreasonable to cool

[barren stream]

does anyone have good sound settings for artic 7p+ for valorant ??

[noble oak]

gtx or rtx

[crimson scroll]

?

[lucid folio]

who tryna play fortnite

[wooden musk]

both are good value but rtx is better due to longer term driver support

[noble oak]

ty

[umbral spade]

i think there is a preset in the sonar software

[noble oak]

Y'all better start buying radiators and learn how to do custom loops.

[regal folio]

i need tips on building a pc

[elfin dirge]

what tips do you need

@regal folio

[regal folio]

i dont know. im completely new to this

[elfin dirge]

what part are you on right now

[regal folio]

none. im researching companies

to buy from

[elfin dirge]

ah

hold on ill help you in a few minutes

ok

are you buying prebuilt or building custom?

[crimson scroll]

well, they started off with "building a pc"

so probably building one

[elfin dirge]

true

@regal folio what kind of things are you gonna do with the computer?

[crimson scroll]

i like that approach

[elfin dirge]

wdym

[crimson scroll]

figuring out what they're trying to do with it, their budget, etc. is the way i'd approach it

[elfin dirge]

yea

[regal folio]

gaming and editing my youtube videos

[elfin dirge]

what kind if games?

[regal folio]

mainly FPSs, and a couple large RPGs

[elfin dirge]

and your budget?

[regal folio]

preferably under 1,500

maybe a little higher

[elfin dirge]

i would probably go with either a 10/11th gen intel core i5, or an amd 5/7 3000 series

[crimson scroll]

why last gen

[regal folio]

…in english please? 😂

[crimson scroll]

there's perfectly reasonably priced zen 3 and raptor lake

[elfin dirge]

hold on

[mint sundial]

You can build a rtx 3060ti pc or a 6750xt pc

[elfin dirge]

alr im back

[crimson scroll]

r5 5600 is 150 at newegg

[mint sundial]

Noice

[crimson scroll]

i don't see a point in getting zen 2

[mint sundial]

But the amd ryzen 7000 series will be ain't cheap at all

[elfin dirge]

i dont know about wherever you guys are, but gpu's are still expensive

[crimson scroll]

you mean the 5700x?

[mint sundial]

But if you'r gonna buy a rtx 3080 or higher gpu

Hold on

[crimson scroll]

that's 235 at newegg

there is no ryzen 7000

[mint sundial]

You can wait to

New gpu relase from nvidia

[mint sundial]

But it will be announced soon

[crimson scroll]

sure

but then you're just gonna keep waiting

[mint sundial]

If you gonna buy a high level gpu like 6800xt or rtx 3080 you can wait more for new gpu relases

[elfin dirge]

but

i cant spend $1000 on a $600 gpu...

[mint sundial]

But if you gonna buy a entry or mid level gpu like rtx 3050 3060 or 3060ti or amd 6600xt

[mint sundial]

Like rtx 3070?

[crimson scroll]

also, considering they don't even know any of these cpu names

[elfin dirge]

like all of them

[crimson scroll]

probably good to go back to the basics and have them watch a generalized pc video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL4DCEp7blY

[elfin dirge]

true

[crimson scroll]

something like that

[elfin dirge]

i liked tech sources video

[mint sundial]

That's not how it works

[elfin dirge]

and yet it is

[mint sundial]

Gpu's can be relased in different levels

Entry mid range or high end gpu's

[elfin dirge]

yet there all way too expensive or are out of stock

[regal folio]

wow. goodbye logic, hello nerd-talk

im so confused

[elfin dirge]

its fine

just watch that video

[crimson scroll]

you should really watch some videos first

[regal folio]

k

k

[mint sundial]

Bro are u gonna build a mid range pc?

[crimson scroll]

static content like that will get you the basics

[elfin dirge]

yea

[regal folio]

dunno what that means

[elfin dirge]

i learned a lot of what i know from youtube

[crimson scroll]

then when you need something that's not generalizable, like a build to fit your needs, then come ask us

[crimson scroll]

their budget is 1500

[elfin dirge]

is you computer gonna be potato, ok, or really good

[crimson scroll]

don't worry about the classification of the pc

mid range, high end, that's just names. varies from person to person on what they consider high end

[mint sundial]

I mean a pc of Middle gpu middle cpu and 16gigs of ram and a one ssd 2 hdd's

[crimson scroll]

what they're willing to spend is concrete

[regal folio]

ah ok

[mint sundial]

Go on it

But you have to be really careful

[elfin dirge]

but i would start with a prebuilt pc if i were you, building a pc is risky for a first time

[regal folio]

what company if i do that?

[crimson scroll]

you're always going to have to build it for the first time...

doesn't matter if you have a hundred prebuilts and then your first custom or zero and then your first custom

[elfin dirge]

but if he clearly doesnt know what any of these words mean

so starting with a pre built and learning

[crimson scroll]

if he's buying a prebuilt, he also has to look at all those terms

[mint sundial]

because sometimes you think you're getting a pc for a good price, but if you realize you've been ripped off, you'll suffer a lot, so I think you should build your own gaming pc

[elfin dirge]

but thats so much easier than actually putting it together

[mint sundial]

@regal folio pls don't buy a prebuilt pc

[crimson scroll]

putting it together's not hard, but ok

[elfin dirge]

alr whatever

you all know more than i do ig

[mint sundial]

There's a better options than a prebuilt pc

[regal folio]

my bro is into computers and he says building one myself requires me to update it as time goes on

[crimson scroll]

i mean

software wise, it's the same for prebuilts and customs

you need to update software regardless

[regal folio]

oh

[crimson scroll]

and same with hardware, if you want better performance you need to swap out parts

[elfin dirge]

yea

[crimson scroll]

once you buy either one, it's not like they're that much different in terms of maintenance

where it does differ is warranty and sending it back to one place if there's an issue

and that is a pretty good reason to buy a prebuilt, for someone who isn't computer savvy and doesn't intend to be

[regal folio]

could you help me look into parts that would work together so i can get my “lineup” started

[crimson scroll]

trust me

[elfin dirge]

sure ill help you

[crimson scroll]

watch the video

[regal folio]

👍

[crimson scroll]

it's way easier to have you get a basic understanding that way

[regal folio]

ok

[crimson scroll]

things like intel cpus not working with amd motherboards

[regal folio]

i friended you guys if u want

[elfin dirge]

ok

you can use pc part picker too

[regal folio]

my friend showed me that

[elfin dirge]

thatll help to make sure everything's compatible

[regal folio]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ydKTpH

barely even over budget

[crimson scroll]

not a bad first attempt

do you like the look of that cpu cooler?

it's a bit overpriced imo

[regal folio]

oh. . . ill look at that

what would you reccomend

[crimson scroll]

an air cooler

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xmnVmr i would go for something like this and wait for sales on stuff

You can build the pc like this price

Ah one more thing

[crimson scroll]

this is definitely over budget for now, but the storage you can change to a 1tb ssd + 2tb hdd since you'll be doing youtube videos and you probably want a lot more space. the CPU you can change to a 5600 if you want, the case is also subjective within reason. If you're not going 1440p and instead using 1080p, then you can drop to a 6600xt/6650xt

jeez @mint sundial this is why pcpp exists

ain't nobody clicking all those links

[mint sundial]

What does pcpp mean?

[crimson scroll]

pcpartpicker

it's a website

[mint sundial]

Ah noice

Can he choose the parts with this site? noice

[crimson scroll]

yeah

the prices aren't entirely accurate and you should always go deal hunting on r/buildapcsales unless you have oodles of money

but it does try to pull the best price for you

[mint sundial]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3070-rtx-3070-ventus-2x-8g-oc-lhr/p/N82E16814137671

That's the lowest priced rtx 3070 i could find

[crimson scroll]

there's cheaper

looks like you're only looking for newegg

[mint sundial]

You don't even need windows box at all

[crimson scroll]

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/?f=flair_name%3A"GPU"

[mint sundial]

You can install and use it for a low price anyway

There's bunch of windows key sellers on the internet

And you can buy a better gpu like 6700xt

[mint sundial]

That's better i guess

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zGs7GL

[crimson scroll]

mx500?

with a 980 pro?

might as well just get a nice 2tb ssd

cpu cooler is also overpriced unless you really like the looks

[mint sundial]

Wha?

Wait a sec

[mint sundial]

Oh i can explain it

because crucial also produces vrams for graphics cards so it can be comfortable for you

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KnkZ9r

That's my pc parts

i couldn't find some pc parts on this site so i tried to put the ones close to them

For example: asus tuf gt301 case

[crimson scroll]

what

[crimson scroll]

??

[mint sundial]

I mean cricual also produces Vram chips for gpu's

[crimson scroll]

so...why does that matter when selecting an ssd

the mx500 is not a good value unless you've run out of m.2 slots

or are otherwise constrained to a sata interface

it's not really cheaper (and in some cases is more expensive) than a cheap or even mid tier nvme

and why not select crucial ballistix to make sure you're getting micron ram then?

[mint sundial]

I tested it on my own pc and I can confirm and say that if you are collecting a computer for gaming purposes, only 1 gen 4 ssd will be enough for the computer, even if we add another 1 m.2 ssd, the game opening time shows a difference of 1 second at most.

[crimson scroll]

that's not my point

first off, testing on your own computer is a sample size of n=1

second, there's no point in getting a worse product for the same price, or more expensive

the motherboard on your list supports 2 m.2 slots

[mint sundial]

https://youtu.be/hE4JV2FYw0U

[crimson scroll]

you are still not getting the point

[mint sundial]

Ok lemme a sec

[crimson scroll]

no, it's okay

i don't feel like trying to explain anymore

[mint sundial]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s7r8bK

I fixed it or not you decide

I changed the ram and 2nd ssd

[mint sundial]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s7r8bK

[noble oak]

im building it rn

assembling

is there a place i can stream it? im just excited

12700k, 3080, 2x16 ddr5

[mint sundial]

Idk

Anyway

[noble oak]

lemme check in the v c

[mint sundial]

How much it did cost?

[elfin dirge]

why do u care so much about how much it costs

[noble oak]

a lot

here im in VC

its working

[mint sundial]

Im not going to vc usually

[mint sundial]

Curiosity

?

[mint sundial]

And you can play Cyberpunk2077 in 4k max settings with no issues lol

[noble oak]

basically

im in vc if you wanna watch the build

[mint sundial]

I've never been in vc so i don't want to go to the vc anyway

[noble oak]

nice

[mint sundial]

Ty <3

The product of a 3-year money-saving adventure will of course be nice at all

Let me tell you, my family said they wouldn't buy the PC until I finished high school and they wouldn't let me get a job and work and save money, so I saved pocket money and half of the PC's money was paid with the pocket money I saved.

[sharp grove]

congrats

any laptop tweaking tips

for fortnite

it is average

are any fps boost packs

really need help guys

[stark owl]

yo

[noble oak]

buy a new latptop

[vital herald]

Is it better to build a pc, or to buy a prebuilt. Ik i asked this question once, but i got no answwer

[static pecan]

It's kind of personal preference but lots of people have fun building computers. Also generally speaking you can get better performance for the same money building one yourself vs buying a prebuilt

It really depends on whether you want the experience/challenge of building one yourself compared to just ordering a prebuilt and using it as soon as it arrives. The other major tradeoff is with the warranty. Building it yourself means you have a dozen different warranties for all the different components which can make it more difficult if something goes wrong and you need a replacement part vs a prebuilt having a single warranty covering all the parts in the system.

[tribal nimbus]

is the lian li galahad 360 or the arctic freezer II 360 better

nvm

would u recommend anything for this build? btw i already have the psu and gpu but gonna make sure i shouldn't change anything else before i buy the rest. also btw im getting the 980 pro with the build then the 970evo plus a bit later when the storage on the 980 pro gets almost full https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9cQTpH

[candid dome]

Switch to DDR5, it'a bit more expensive but better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D6pqPX

[crimson scroll]

at this time?

ddr5 isn't worth it over ddr4

[candid dome]

at least for gaming is worth and it's more future proof, in a year ddr4 will be scarcely available and more expensive than ddr5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCQ3CTNyag&ab_channel=thegamrone

[crimson scroll]

Why would scarcity of ddr4 in a year matter

Price to perf ddr5 is absolutely not worth it

If you want to have new tech and like tinkering maybe

[candid dome]

it does, if you need to replace it or upgrade you get something old for a high price. ddr5 next year will top 8000

[candid dome]

IMO for 100 bucks totally worth it. 5-20 fps more in avg/min it's a lot

[vast kiln]

I wouldnt really say 20 fps more is noticeable depending on the FPS you had when you went up by 20, e.g 60 fps to 80 is noticeable but if you are use to running a high fps count adding 20 more is very barely noticeable in my opinion.

[elfin dirge]

true

but fps's are fps's

[vast kiln]

Oh for sure but you also have to add the monitor factor. Having a 120Hz monitor adding even 5 fps more is useless

[elfin dirge]

yea

i mean if you have the money, why not

[vast kiln]

Personally I think 144Hz is more than enough. I don't believe in having a 200+ fps monitor since if I remember correctly, the human eyes can't fully see that much FPS anway

[nocturne folio]

144hz is perfectly good for me 💯

[mystic verge]

No shame bro I gotta step dads old gtx 970

[nocturne folio]

It depends on what CPU and motherboard you purchase, case that supports all, and storage drive/drives you buy

[elfin dirge]

depending on your cpu, i couldnt imagine it being over $1500

but you dont need a 144hz moniter if you only have a 1050 ti

[final mica]

Does anyone have any good recommendations for AMD CPUs around the 200€ price range

[plucky garden]

@final mica depends on what expectations you have with your pc. Is it for gaming, to work on. What is it gonna be for its use?

[final mica]

Gaming, I’ve got a 2070 that I want to pair it up with

[plucky garden]

then 200 euro wont be enough if you want something solid go with a AMD cpu like ryzen 7 something with at leats 8 cores and whatever threads it really depends on how much open tabs you have open simultaneously on your pc because if you go only with around 200 euro your gpu is gonna be bottlenecked with means there wont be enough coupled power with your gpu and cpu

you can search on google what cpu would be best to be with 2070 and you will have many answers up to you ^^

@final mica

[final mica]

@plucky garden okay then what would be an ideal cpu?

I play like a lot of fps games, lately I’ve been playing tarkov which pains me at the frames it’s running

[plucky garden]

do your own search and type your budget along so that google is gonna give you different good choices

you could check the ryzen 7 3700x i got the 3800x and you have what you want for your money i have this cpu since 2 years ago and he has never let me down once to show to that these cpu are not killable

@final mica

[final mica]

If I find a 5800x for around 280€ would it be worth?

[plucky garden]

of course its the new version of what i told you before

[mystic verge]

Oof

[latent fulcrum]

Try new cable

Or its time to get a new one

[sly topaz]

yea, but i wasn't using the mice for like one year, it left it in original box. so this is why its weird

sorry if i made you mad with ping

[latent fulcrum]

Well if the steps recommended by SS didnt work i think sensor is f-ed up or the cable im not sure tho

Did u update everything

[sly topaz]

yes i did

[latent fulcrum]

It only happens when u lift the mice ?

[sly topaz]

the cable should be okey i plug it to the phone and i was waving with cable hard and the phone didint stop charing even once

[sly topaz]

yep

lol

i just realized i sent this on wrong channel

[latent fulcrum]

Yep xD

Whatever

Did u do something in the engine

[sly topaz]

i tried changing this

it kinda makes sens.. sensor stops working after i lift a mice

but it didint help

[latent fulcrum]

Can u turn it off

[sly topaz]

makes no different

lol its getting worst now even without lifting mice up sensor doesnt responds

[latent fulcrum]

Try to put it on the 5th scale from left

@sly topaz ????

Any progress

[sly topaz]

one sec

like this?

@latent fulcrum

[latent fulcrum]

Yeah

[sly topaz]

well there is progress it works like to second lift

[latent fulcrum]

Haha

Aah

Did u try different pad

[sly topaz]

yes i did

also i did try different computer, same problem

so i think its mice problem

not softare

[latent fulcrum]

Can be

[sly topaz]

ill try to send it back, but i think its too late

if it is

ill smash it against the wall

[latent fulcrum]

Make a ticket maybe :)

[sly topaz]

i did

ill wait for the response

but i always like to ask a community for help

sometimes someone has same problem and knows how yo solve it

anyways ty for help

[latent fulcrum]

Np hope it'll work again

Its actually amazing that SS has a community discord

And i love it

[visual wolf]

Who can built it for me to a good gamer pc for 500 euro in SWeden Uppsala/Knivista

[latent fulcrum]

???

so u have ram and processor u need the other parts ? xD

[nocturne folio]

I think they have just copied all the info from the settings "system info" page

I guess they want someone to build them something for 500 euros that is better

[visual wolf]

exacly, 200 fps on csgo now but know what parts I should change

[nocturne folio]

What parts are you planning on swapping?

[tribal nimbus]

which one should i get> https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jxH8TW/gskill-trident-z-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gtzrc https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dHjJ7P/gskill-trident-z-rgb-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr4-3200-memory-f4-3200c16d-32gtzrx https://pcpartpicker.com/product/khmFf7/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-cmw32gx4m2z3600c18

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quick gale]

i have a 3090 ti i just got 2 and half weeks ago and i can assure you its well worth the money

but why run air cooled on top model i9?

[elfin dirge]

yea i would get a radiator/full loop

[quick gale]

fr 3090 tis run really hot

i got mine pre watercooled

asus rog strix one

it gets my room really really hot

[elfin dirge]

i only have a 1660 super

and a 11400

and i have a radiator

i get like 30°F

or C idrk

[nocturne folio]

it must be °c because 30°F is in the negative °c... below water freezing point

[elfin dirge]

oh yea

im stupid i thought ≈90°F was too high

[compact oriole]

Do think that the Founders Edition 3080 is still decent for over clocking?

[sweet pelican]

Yeah it is

[sly jasper]

Not that decent if you wanna overclock the vram

the thermal pads the founders edition uses are't the best

[lofty token]

Wanted to know if their is any components that I should update to get pc to run best :
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700F
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 UD
RAM: 4 Corsair DDR4 8GB
GPU: Nvidia GeForce rtx 2080 super

[devout wolf]

is the ram 4 sticks of 8?

[lofty token]

yes

[noble oak]

In that price range you should look for an old office PC to upgrade.

Like buy an Optiplex for 300 EUR and put a 200EUR GPU in it.

[noble oak]

Upgrade Ram and CPU but new CPU would require new motherboard

whats your budget

[lofty token]

Pretty open less then $1000

[sly jasper]

You could go for a i7 12gen

Or wait till fall and go for the new AMD Ryzen CPUs

Maybe by that time ddr5 memories and motherboard will be cheaper

And if you switch the whole CPU motherboard and ram bundle, you could sell that to get some money back

[noble oak]

do you need WiFi built into the motherboard or do you have a NIC/Ethernet?

and or any peripherals

[noble oak]

he cant

lol

but he should go for i9 9900k

it goes well with 2080 super

more further causes bottleneck

he would have to change the whole pc

motherboard new gen = new gpu

new cpus isnt a good option for a 2080

its sort of outdated

he should go for ddr4 16 GB and i9 9900k if he wants an upgrade

but also its good why need an upgrade just upgrade the ram

[noble oak]

12th gen = new motherboard too

ddr5 new motherboard

2080 would be fine but

4000 series should be out at the end of the year

[gentle vessel]

I wonder if any cooler can even cooldown the 4000 series, when combiend with a new proccesor lol

[peak turtle]

anyone know a good gaming pc my budget is 1200e

and also does anyone know a good place to buy parts that ships to finland

[crimson scroll]

English only

[normal gust]

Ok

[charred leaf]

ok so an RX 6600 gets more frames than a RTX 3050, but the RTX comes with all of the Nvidia features. As someone building my first rig, and only using my dell 23 monitor, not doing a ton of gaming (mostly productivity and video editing) should I save my money and buy the RX 6600?

[static pecan]

Personally I'd say wait and save. I'd take the better preforming GPU over having less performance but more niche features. Besides, AMD is rapidly catching up with a lot of Nvidia's major software selling points with FSR 2.0, RSR, and the new Radeon Voice Suppression

[coarse fog]

i suggest you use pcpartpicker

[peak turtle]

imma see

[coarse fog]

its really op for seeing lowest prices and scoping out parts for ur pc

[peak turtle]

cool

[peak turtle]

and it ships to finland?

[peak turtle]

it looks good but i dont really know what parts are good for the price

soo hard to find a good mother board

[peak turtle]

is this good i kinda also need help finding a motherboard

oh wait

i need something cheaper

i quit

[sturdy stirrup]

you need help?

im by no mean an expert but i might be able to help you out a bit

[peak turtle]

yeah but im busy rn

[sturdy stirrup]

no problem, hit me up when you are free

[peak turtle]

yeah

[polar abyss]

I already have a pc but I'm a little confused, what stats are required for rot breath?

[sturdy stirrup]

Elder ring?

Which one is not ripping me off?

I see the difference and im looking at more but I want someone who is better at Pcs than me

[twin sandal]

Il just build a pc

[noble oak]

is this a good white build?? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kMQG2m buying all my parts from amazon, so total would be 1,246.63

[paper dock]

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NxYm2m
this will probably give you better coolling

[warm swan]

hi

[quasi crater]

I have the IBuyPower build, works really well and dont really have any problems

[crystal schooner]

Pc building advice in this channel you say? go team green L team red

[brazen shuttle]

What resolution do you play at, also liking nvidia for being nvidia instead of the gpus they make is simply stupid, big navi is good for the right people

[crystal schooner]

I meannn, I'm not gonna pursue an argument in building a pc buuuut as far as I know the compute power of nvidia's best beats amd's. Along with nvenc and accelerated raytraced computing. I mean sure some games unfairly favor amd for some reason, and amd does sometimes get better frametimings, but meh
oh also dlss exists but then again amd has their own solution, but afaik dlss uses ai and is accelerated to a degree through ai

[crimson scroll]

Price/perf amd wins

You can get 6900xts for 650 on sale

If you need Cuda, then obviously nvidia is better

But raw rasterized game performance, for the cards that are meant to be in the same tier amd wins

[static pecan]

Not to mention FSR 2.0 looks just as good as Nvidia's current DLSS version (plus it's open source), and they have their own driver-based upscaler for some older/lower-end cards, and all things considered raytracing is still mostly a gimmick thing and even on a 3090 then performance hit with RT on still isn't worth it to me. Although in something like story driven singleplayer games where RT is the most useful anyways it really doesn't make a practical different between getting 100 FPS or 200. In comp/multiplayer titles, sure, but you shouldn't use RT at all for those anyways

Unfortunately the green brain rot is pretty powerful 🙃

[crystal schooner]

oh lord XD. I just got done with cards against humanity and see this. I mean yes y'all do have good points. Plus price taken into factor, yes amd does win anyways no matter where you look imo except when looking at nvenc vs amd's nothing afaik, idk maybe amd has something for that and if you need accelerated raytracing (for whatever reason).

other than that, and maybe gaming performance (wow correction, looking it up amd and nvidia's top tier are REALLY neck and neck), amd is pretty compelling when compared to nvidia, and even then it's a close call afaik (I haven't tried amd's top tier card yet so I could be wrong, maybe it's better, the same, or worse)

[twin sandal]

Too late i decided to build my own pc

[crystal schooner]

after the second bsod this week hinting towards mem errors I decided to do this and goddang it man to microcenter I go

[static pecan]

Le oof

[cyan lily]

back to the lobby 👋

[crystal schooner]

Ong I reseated my ram and re-ran the test and now it’s been stuck on 21% for over an hour 💀

Oh it froze

Alr yep I’m done lol wow I did another test and it can’t even pass the standard test without coming up with hw errors. Reminder to everyone on not skimping on your research, parts, and dedication to making a pc

[restive kelp]

best laptop for $1400 aud?

[noble oak]

Anybody got reccomendations for a wired keyboard

[grizzled cave]

I personally am running a Razer Cynosa Lite. Probably one of the best ones I have ever thrown money at. I think i spent like $30-40 USD on it. For a budget friendly board, it has some very premium qualities.

[compact estuary]

Don’t get the Corsair K60 pro with cherry viola switches, I sent it back 3 times before they just sent me the “upgrade” which felt worse then the normal one

[sturdy stirrup]

I’m rocking the steelseries apex pro tkl, loving every single bit of it

[quiet flume]

im using a ducky 1 2 mini. Basic ik but its the best keyboard I've had

[quiet flume]

looks like Ram Failure so bad/corrupt ram

or incompatiable

[crystal schooner]

trust me I knew ever since I got the bsod's hinting towards memory errors I just didn't want to accept it yet I'm planning on getting new ram soon if I don't upgrade my whole system (although, I do have a 12th gen intel cpu waiting for me to get another motherboard, so maybe I'll do everything at once)

[quiet flume]

trust me ik the feeling i ran into failing CPU cores

also a "emo CPU"

[crystal schooner]

Failing cpu cores that must suck-

[quiet flume]

a fun (expensive) problem

[quiet flume]

if you need help still lmk i can get you a part list made in a short amount of time just lmk your budget

[quiet flume]

also thats why having extra backup ram is a must

32gb of ram on pc and 16gb of backup

[crystal schooner]

Not a bad idea tbh

[quiet flume]

i had alot of parts but people be buying me dry

[peak turtle]

im still thinking if im gonna save up to one but maybe i am

[quiet flume]

well lmk with a budget and what games you want to play

[noble oak]

128gb of ddr5 ram the cheapest trus

but its goodf

so you shouid grt

[elder saffron]

Deps on what games or appli u gonna run

With ram

[atomic dust]

when i run my pc and it has a little bit of load it instantly jumps up to 50+ celcius can anyone tell me why?

im running a NZXT kraken z73 with the fans outside

[crimson scroll]

What cpu

[atomic dust]

ryzen 3900x

[crystal schooner]

When playing a game, running a benchmark preferably, or doing whatever you do. Put a load on it it of some sort, how hot does it get then?

[crimson scroll]

56 can be normal for a 3900x at idle

What's ambient temp

And what guitarlover said

[noble oak]

anyone know how i can make this about 1200?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JmPFY9

[vapid nexus]

I have a 5900x and I idle at about 33C, also 3x120 aio from Arctic

[static pecan]

I have a 5900X and I idle at about 37C and get up to about 70-72C when gaming with a be quiet 360mm

[turbid creek]

try the corsair 4000d airflow

case

nvm its more excpensive

[noble oak]

yeah

[sly jasper]

You could check if the non k CPU is cheaper

You won't need a custom 100$ cooler for an i5

Kinda overkill. The one out of the box is more than enough

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bpJwC6

@noble oak

With this build you are exactly at 1200$ but you also have an MSI rtx 3070

[noble oak]

oh alright I'll check it out

[sly jasper]

[noble oak]

no CPU cooler?

[sly jasper]

Usually i3 and it come with one in the box

[noble oak]

oh

alright

[sly jasper]

Only i7 don't have one included

[noble oak]

alr thanks

[sly jasper]

Check the description on Amazon when you are about to order it

It should say there if it's included or not

[devout wolf]

only K SKUs don't have them included

non-K i7s and even i9s do

and K i5s don't

[noble oak]

is that a ryzen cpu ? if yes thats normal.

[night arrow]

Guys I’m literally on my last straw and can’t figure out why my new build isn’t booting

[sly jasper]

I can help

What's the issue

[elfin dirge]

whats the problem

[steady saddle]

All boot problems I've had and had friends who also had, always had something to do with the drive

[devout wolf]

unless it's improperly seated RAM

[noble oak]

@quiet flume could you please help me out, my budget is around 1500€

[sly jasper]

I can help you build a pc

[elfin dirge]

same

[noble oak]

Okay

Okay

Okay

Okay

Okay

[elfin dirge]

what

[rose tide]

do any of yall know a good step by step to mod a keyboard

[noble oak]

nope

[crimson scroll]

there's a lot of ways to mod keyboards

so it depends on what exactly you're trying to do and which keyboard

[rose tide]

i have a gk16 and i want to lube the keys and add a stabilizer

the keys feels very loose... if that makes sense. compared to my Anne pro 2 it feels very cheap. i have yellow switches in them and i was thinking it would be smooth. what is it that makes the keys feel smooth and less fidgety?

i know for a fact the keys didn't come pre lubed so maybe that's why....?

[analog latch]

anyone on rn?
i need some help with my graphics card

[noble oak]

Whats wrong?

[analog latch]

i got my issue fixed

my graphics card was on but it wasnt being detected

[waxen tinsel]

do you ever need to re-lube switches?

[agile ether]

What best GPU under 400 and its worth waiting for ryzen 7000?

[pale kite]

yes it is worth waiting for ryzen 7000, the best gpu under 400 rn is hard to say but i would say the 3060

can run valorant on low settings (pros use low)@1920x1080 and it gets 200+ fps

FH5 max settings, 60 fps

Minecraft OptiFine 1.19.2 w/ BSL Shaders@1920x1080 at 140+ fps

• an RTX 3060 user

[crimson scroll]

Yeah, lube will shift over time especially if it wasn't even

[haughty apex]

u get 200 fps on valorant with a 3060?

I have a 1060 and get around 380

[glacial mauve]

i wouln't go bellow 3060TI tbh, but prices should still drop in next month

@haughty apex not on minimum settings 3060 has RT, You cant compare frames without game settings
1070TI beats 3090 HANDS down othervise...1070 runing min specs 120 fps, and 3090 runing 4k ultra 60 fps....obviusly 1070 has more frames so it must be the better card 😄

[agile ether]

i have 120fps with rx 550 4gb

[agile ether]

3060 made for miners 3060ti more for gamers becouse rams

[pale kite]

.

[agile ether]

but 3060ti cost 550

[pale kite]

400*

nvm

[agile ether]

ti version

[pale kite]

I dont want to cause an argument so believe what you believe.

But yes, the 3060ti is a big improvement from the 3060 but if you don’t have the budget for the TI go for the normal version

[agile ether]

gaming does not need 12gb but mining need

[agile ether]

maybe 4000 serie comming this year

maybe worth for waiting

[pale kite]

As 4000 series comes, the prices will drop for the 30 series.

[agile ether]

or rx series gpu comming this month

so maybe worth buying like rx 7600 xt or something like that

[quiet flume]

Who even mines anymore you need to spend a ton to actually make anything anymore

[static pecan]

Not to mention the fact that more and more games are taking advantage of more VRAM in GPUs these days. Far Cry 6, AC Valhalla, and Doom Eternal can easily use >10 gigs of VRAM playing at 1440p/4K using ultra high resolution textures

Saying gamers don't need 10+ gigs of VRAM in 2022 is only true if you play games older than 2/3 years, mainly esports titles, side scrollers, platformers, or any less graphically demanding games. But for the most part, all the newest AAA titles are taking advantage of the higher 10, 12, and 16 gig VRAM buffers in current and next gen GPUs

[agile ether]

Yes becouse rtx got nerfed

[agile ether]

Yes būt for 2060 12gb Rams Does nothing you need like rtx 3080 then you can use 12gb

[west heart]

What do yall think about 3060 RTX in a laptop

[pale kite]

Not ideal for graphics heavy games

[graceful coral]

Try a 3050

[west heart]

Yah It was gettin really hot

[hearty ingot]

Not that good but still good for gaming lol

[waxen tinsel]

yall I need help my switches

I think I just noticed that I got the wrong ones for my keyboard

what do I do?

[fading pendant]

"not that good"

[devout wolf]

what keyboard is this?

[pallid hedge]

Guys don't join this, it's a scam

[waxen tinsel]

hk gaming gk61 v2

[devout wolf]

think that uses optical switches

so you're SOL

[mint sundial]

im thinking of
I7 11700KF
2x8 DDR4 3600 CL14
Kingston SSD 2tb
Seasonic Focus PLus Platinum 850w
ASUS ROG STRIX B560-F
Fractal Design Meshify 2 Black TG Dark Tint
ASUS ROG STIX RTX 3080
and some AIO Cooler

quoted from @noble oak

and idk anything abt the corsair aio's

so you have to research from the internet and watch videos abt this cooler from youtube

and that's all

[mint sundial]

not good for triple a games

[west heart]

Can I play CSGO at fairly good graphics?

[mint sundial]

yes you can play csgo but graphics was never an option for csgo

[noble oak]

yes i have a R7 5800x and RTX3060 and i run csgo on really high FPS

5800H i mean

[west heart]

Cool

Btw

[mint sundial]

so you have to waaay down the graphics snd optimize the game for better performance

[west heart]

Is your laptop heating a bad thing

[noble oak]

its just loud

[west heart]

I can feel mine go to like 25-30 C

[west heart]

Other than that ofx

[mint sundial]

if you feel your laptop is heating in to 25 to 30 celcius your laptop proccessor is like to 40°C or 55°C

or between this degrees

[west heart]

Oof

K then

[mint sundial]

I may have given some wrong information, so the most logical thing is to look at the processor temperature from your pc's control program.

anyway i have to turn off my pc now good night guys see you later.

[noble oak]

good night

[vapid nexus]

I run an arctic 3x120 AIO and I never see temps above 65-70C on my 5900x

[hearty ingot]

Can rtx 3060 run minecraft

[reef sun]

ofc

[hearty ingot]

Ahahha

[nocturne folio]

I think (may be wrong) you may have major difficulties with just a 3060... I wouldn't risk with below a 4090 😜

[regal mauve]

you could run minecraft on the back of a cereal box if you set render distance to minimum

[elfin dirge]

i could run mc on a 7 year old samsung smart tv

[noble oak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yMWKk9

is this good?

[regal folio]

Let me see

Depends. What are you going to do with it? Hard core gaming? Or casual

[nocturne folio]

Isn't it more about gaming or creative apps?

[reef sun]

4090 default TGP is apparently rumored to have 450w/and a max TGP of 660w (at least according to videocardz.com), would it still require another PSU? My current PSU is ROG Thor 850w platinum

[devout wolf]

heavy emphasis on 'rumored'

might need to put it in bold and italics

rumored

mountain of salt included

[steel grail]

guys, ryzen 5 3200x 6 cores+ motherboard: gigabyte B450M DS3H (not the V2) + rtx 2080/rtx 2080 ti/rtx3080 (i dont know what ill buy)+ 16gb ram ,, it will comfortable and fine ?

with power supply 750w (if i will need) and if not so 500w

[crimson scroll]

Comfortable and fine for what

And do you mean 3200g? Or a different cpu

Seems like it might be pretty unbalanced depending on what you're using the computer for

[steel grail]

for now iv the same but with gtx 1660s

and sorry the cpu is ryzen 5 3600 6core ( that what the Geforce experience say)

[magic cedar]

Hey guys so I never experienced building a custom pc but a lot of people ask me why don’t u get a pc so it give u more performance and more maneuverability but never had pc so only play games with gaming laptop so idk how i learn to build a pc

[crimson scroll]

not sure what they mean by maneuverability, but there's lots of good starter videos on how to build a pc

I would check out something by gamersnexus or LTT to start off with

[devout wolf]

thrust vectoring laptop

supermaneuvrability

[magic cedar]

Ye but it just like gonna take ages to figure out how to build a pc while pre-built pc is trash like no one really like it cuz I guess u cant custom them and they charge u more price unless I watch and learn with someone that build irl so I can take closer look and get idea

[crimson scroll]

I don't think it'll take that long

it's like legos

[magic cedar]

The video play liek hour

also one thing I get very confused is cable management idk how to do that

[crimson scroll]

In my opinion, spending a couple of hours to learn how to build your own pc is very worth it

learn it once, use it forever

[magic cedar]

This is the one what I mean

So u gotta need to tidy the cable but it too confused idk which one connect to other example for psu

[crimson scroll]

you can follow the cable from the psu to where it goes to figure out what it does

oftentimes the psu will also label which cable connects to what

[magic cedar]

Also for graphic card do u need to use screwdriver or u just stick it while other like motherboard u need to use screwdriver for ssd, cpu, etc

[crimson scroll]

you need a screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the gpu into the case

[magic cedar]

ok so last step is graphic card come last while first step to build a pc is cpu go first into motherboard

[crimson scroll]

generally yes

but it's also useful to put in just the motherboard and the gpu into the case to figure out the cable management first

then you can take it out, test the cpu to make sure it works before you put it all back into the case

[magic cedar]

also do u need to add thermal paste when placing cooler on cpu

[crimson scroll]

yes. a lot of coolers have it preapplied and you just need to remove a piece of plastic

6900xt @wooden acorn

[wooden acorn]

okie thank you

[crimson scroll]

automod got you because you accidentally put a bad word in

[wooden acorn]

oh , sry have a nice night

[waxen tinsel]

why my gpu fan not spinning

did it die?

[devout wolf]

almost all modern GPU fans don't spin until they hit a certain temperature

[idle bridge]

ayo, so now that prices are finally dropping I've been thinking about building a PC, and I was wondering if I should buy 30 series on ebay now, or wait until around 40 series launches to buy a 30 series card

cause I see conflicting opinions onlone

[orchid cairn]

I'd wait a little if you have a decent 10th series or 20 series gpu

[idle bridge]

thing is

I asked a question something like this

almost 2 years ago

well

oh

over 2 years ago

anyways my laptop is over 6 years old

[orchid cairn]

oh well if the hardware is this old, I'd buy parts now 😄

[idle bridge]

Yeah, I'd probs do something like buy 30 series and thinking about new intel or AMD platform

depends on which one is better value ofc

[orchid cairn]

right now amd is

[idle bridge]

yeah, Im kinda thinking in future proofing, cause I expect AM5 to last a while, and both intel and AMD transitioning to DDR5

[orchid cairn]

well, ok it depends
As far as I know ryzen 6000 doesn't support ddr4 and ddr5 is hella expensive

[idle bridge]

so its probably something like buy 30 series, wait a while for ddr5 to drop a bit

[orchid cairn]

ye sounds good
intel is gonna support z690 and ddr4 for the next gen (already got the mobo update like a month ago)

but you'll be fine if you get a 30 series rn and wait for the amd 6000 release
I'm not sure if it isn't even more 5head if you buy ddr5 rn as with the release of ryzen the prices will get a bump due to shortage

[idle bridge]

yep

buying ram before you get the mobo

oh yeah

aint 40 series bout to get announced?

[orchid cairn]

first leaks already showed performance

[idle bridge]

Oh yeah

but like

official launch

[orchid cairn]

they are debating if it gets announced tomorrow

[idle bridge]

yeah

damn

ddr5 really is

kinda expensive

160 dollars for 2x16 gb 4800

💀

[haughty vault]

Just wanted to know is this a good build for a first time builder and pc

Its has a Corsair 4000D airflow case
A AMD Ryzen 5600x cpu
A MSI MPG B550 wifi motherboard
A Corsair vengeance ddr4 16gb ram
A Samsung 980 M.2 1tb ssd
A Corsair iCue h100i elite water cooler
A rtx 3060ti or 3060 (because of prices)

[nocturne folio]

Do you have a power supply?

[haughty vault]

Oh wait i do

Its the Corsair RM850x, 850W, 80 PLUS Gold, Fully modular Black

[nocturne folio]

Looking at it I think it is pretty good... Thinking you may want a bit more storage... perhaps some kind of HDD drive with one or two terrabytes of storage

[haughty vault]

Don't know about that

Kinda poor lol

Well I'll think about it

[nocturne folio]

Lol... In that case it is a good build (you could add more storage post purchase)

[haughty vault]

Oh ok

If I'm correct the b550 has one or two ssd slots?

@nocturne folio ?

[nocturne folio]

Well you can connect SATA drives to it I believe (would sit in the case drive bays)

[haughty vault]

Mkay

So does it have two ssd slots if so i would add a 512gb one

[nocturne folio]

Could you specify which b550 you are looking at? (there are different models)

[haughty vault]

Ok wait

B550 Gaming Edge WIFI

[nocturne folio]

I believe it has 3 slots... (2 labeled with "M" and 1 with "E") I don't know what the letters stand for but Two is definitely feasable

[haughty vault]

Ok thanks

[rose crystal]

pretty solid build. go with the TI if possible. its worth the extra boost if you can afford it

[haughty vault]

Ok

I prob could since the Christmas is coming soom

And also the prices is since im in Lithuania

[rose crystal]

playing in 1080P right?

[haughty vault]

?

[nocturne folio]

What resolution monitor/monitors

[haughty vault]

Oh wait probably yes

[nocturne folio]

For example my monitors are 1920x1080 so I believe I'm 1080

[haughty vault]

Ok 👌

Just wanted to know would my setup run star citizen

[rose crystal]

one common mistake everyone makes is having a beast PC.... then not having the right hardware to go with it to get the benefits of the system. monitor is by far the most over looked

[haughty vault]

I'm kinda in love with it

[haughty vault]

Ok I'll write the one i might get

MSI Gaming OPTIX G243

And gn

[nocturne folio]

gn

[rose crystal]

looks good. i personally, this is a bias opinion... i wont buy a panel thats not IPS. They are more expensive but thats just my preference

[haughty vault]

Ok thanks

And just wondering again
Should i get triple fan ir duo fan 306ti

[nocturne folio]

Either works... just depends what fits in case... if you can get 3 fan then I would go for it (although do consider noise if that is a factor for you)

[haughty vault]

Ok

Thanks but the case is going to be the Corsair 4000d airflow so i triple fan should fit fine

[haughty vault]

: )

[nocturne folio]

What brand you looking at?

[haughty vault]

Msi

[nocturne folio]

specific ones (they have different ones with 3060ti chipset)

@haughty vault

[haughty vault]

Heh

Like lhr

(lite hash rate?)

[nocturne folio]

send screenshot of page?

Because there are several different models with the same chipset

@haughty vault

[haughty vault]

Yes

[haughty vault]

Don't know about that because it'll be in a foreign language

But ok

[nocturne folio]

Ah fair

[haughty vault]

And the page also will put laptops and pc with it

But here the page of the i found

@nocturne folio

[nocturne folio]

Yep will fit fine with 3 so have fun

[haughty vault]

Ok

But probably going to get in on the holidays

[magic cedar]

Why not buy rtx 4000 series graphic card u could get 4060 but might wait months for it to announced it rn it 4090 n 4080

You could select two of this but if u want a cheaper version then go windforce gaming oc but it has no rgb if u look at the RGb Halo on the bottom left

@haughty vault you could wait few months for 4060 might be available at December not 100% sure

[haughty vault]

Well the thing is money

[magic cedar]

oh are u trying to buy graphic card that on sale

[haughty vault]

No its my first pc

[magic cedar]

maybe the new gen could be on sale example Christmas sale

Oh ok

so u getting gigabyte 3060 ti

[haughty vault]

Yup

Or I'll see the price tho

But maybe not because before the 4000 series hits Lithuania it'll be a good few or more months or hella a year

[idle bridge]

basically a zone within the EU that allows unrestricted travel of people and goods

[haughty vault]

[idle bridge]

Lithuania is a part of it

[idle bridge]

Basically no border control at mutual borders

[haughty vault]

im pretty sure

[haughty vault]

Ok 👌

I'll check the prices and maybe even get a 3070

[idle bridge]

or a 3070 ti

or 3080 12 gb

3080 10 gb (even LHR) probably got mined on

[haughty vault]

[idle bridge]

right now low and mid tier cards are better value at AMD

https://www.ebay.com/itm/144718101501?epid=20052560025&hash=item21b1defbfd:g:aKMAAOSwLDJjI2Lt&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoFYISY1Z%2Fr%2FLOqA%2B3UJwhoV0FOStkBTnEG4zXTUt6hF%2FDzT3PGCuhUjhjPLp1ZGqfDvTAu3L1xwr1kKSmReSOT5qr6iBj3AUotx0s%2FCMjkIpC9xZ2IpyKXo1ltQnc5b2ln5Akc5SI0nRbmFZb1SMTFhx%2Fw4yyVaZj7ou499MVrdD6942OcUJMxaFEkOLj7nFbytJE0797pVYpHbZE92qlgA%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9yN7pXsYA

6800 ct for 515

better performance than 3080 10gb edition

right in between 3080 TI and 3080 12 gb in gaming performance

*at 1080p and 1440p

3080's have better video memory, which makes them better for 4k

[haughty vault]

idk

i’m somewhat new

ngl

[languid swallow]

like i have 1K free for my graphics card

[haughty vault]

What's your cpu

Because if you get a stronger gpu you'll also going to need a stronger cpu so your performance won't bottle'neck

[ocean flume]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LH8M6r
My PC

[languid swallow]

Oh yeah I need one of those as well

Can you guys just help me with the entire thing

My ryzen 7 being bottlenecked by my 1050ti

[gilded jasper]

[noble oak]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZNMZCGQ/ref=twister_B0B6P5Y3Y7?th=1

sounds too good to be true

[gentle vessel]

you tryed looking up reviews? on trustworthy sites like ign n stuff, since company's can also buy review bots that always 5 star

those can help you see if its real or not

[noble oak]

i believe it just released, so i doubt there'll be any reviews on it yet

[solid jolt]

He

[sinful owl]

Gimme some money more 😭💀

Lord*

[languid swallow]

haha no sorry bro i earnt it and its mine whatever i have left over im either saving for a car or investing

[dusty flower]

My current PC: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/bPThBj

Might have some extra cash to spend sometime soon and am wondering what I should upgrade in my rig.

Was thinking about maybe hardline water cooling but I don’t know of anyone near me who sells that kind of stuff. (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.)

If you have any other upgrade ideas I’d love to hear them!

[sinful owl]

Hey can y’all dm me part for a pc for gaming/streaming

[orchid cairn]

theres pretty much nothing to upgrade except the cpu
If you play on 1440p, the 3070 should be just fine

The 3900XT is a little slower than the 5900x (around 10-12%), thats it
Nothing to do there imo

[dusty flower]

Would I be able to just buy the new CPU and install it? Or would I need a new motherboard as well? I’m not very educated on motherboards or CPU chipsets.

[noble oak]

You can only install a new cpu if it has the same size pins (Forgot the word)
Then you also have to worry about your power supply and gpu
Im also not very educated on pcs so for further explanations you should ask someone else (;

[orchid cairn]

exactly
Will work just fine as x570 was actually released prior to the 5000 series

Only Ryzen 7000 won't work as a new socket came out for it 🙂

[orchid cairn]

He posted his pc above
The socket of Ryzen 1000 to 5000 was exactly the same if you mean that.
The PSU of his is way to OP for any system his size xd He could run a 12900k and a rtx 3080ti and wouldn't need a new psu

[noble oak]

Well thats the perfect explanation

Just didnt want them to order a CPU and find out it doesnt fit and then break the motherboard (::

[orchid cairn]

Oh btw!
Make sure to give the cpu some heat BEFORE removing the cooler as you may rip the cpu out when you remove the cooler!
Happened to me with my Ryzen 5 1600 👀

Just run a game for 10-15 mins and let it cool down a little, then the cooling paste should be a little less adhesive

[dusty flower]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[orchid cairn]

oi if you need some good thermal paste you may wanna look out for thermal grizzly kryonaut
You obviously can't reuse the thermal paste thats on the cooler 😄

[finite vapor]

best pc build for 1500 euros in europe? with air cooling good font and good motherboard and nvidia

[naive quartz]

Will the new ryzen 7 7000 series CPU bottleneck an RTX 2080? on a 1080p high refresh rate gaming setup?

[noble oak]

bro this is a steal
i was looking on offerup for pcs
and i found this
https://offerup.com/item/detail/8cb65d46-a0a5-3ee0-849c-0e4fb36f9728

tbh its like way toooooooooo god
i put most of the parts in pc part picker and the total was like 2.8k
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DbLhBj

[simple ivy]

I’m desperate today my Pc was shutting off couple times and Best Buy but told me your PSU is low for your setup. So I went from 750 to 850 watt I switched and I bought a ups 900Watt just for the heck of it. And still shut off, I don’t know what to think. I even tried with a battery and if still shut off. I don’t know what to do. Lol

Any inputs is greatly appreciated!

[compact bear]

@simple ivy does your Motherboard have lights with names next to it (i will send you a picture what to look for)

[orchid cairn]

Yup. CPU will outperform the gpu lol

[orchid cairn]

Won’t show him anything when the pc turns off

[orchid cairn]

Well, the question is what are you running when it turns off and what’s your hardware. Is it giving you a bsod or does it just shut down completely? Have you already done a couple tests?

I’d recommend running the stresstest of aida64 extreme for 30 minutes and check temps and everything with hwinfo64

[simple ivy]

When it hits red when i shut it down. On the cpu light.

[compact bear]

only when you shut it down it turns red. thats what you mean right?

[simple ivy]

Yes

And that’s what happens when I turn it on.

That’s the sequence that takes place.

[compact bear]

i dont see anything weird

how old is your pc?

[simple ivy]

2 months

[compact bear]

especially your cpu

[simple ivy]

🤣

[compact bear]

thats isnt old, otherwise it could be your thermal paste

[simple ivy]

It’s my first build Pc

[compact bear]

just a other question, what are your specs (just curious)

[simple ivy]

I took to Best Buy and I had the same issue, but something they did that came back after 30 days

But for 30 days it didn’t do anything
