So 360hz more likely combine with higher tier of 4090 and i9

[dapper vector]

yeah but if i were u i would try to find a 1440p monitor w i’d say above 240hz just in case u want to have ur game look prettier

[dark linden]

None of them really matches the GtG speed on the box. But one thing that you can stay sure of is that monitors rated 3ms are indeed slower and present inverse ghosting when pushed to their extreme.

It really depends on what/how you plan to play on your PC, I bought a XL2546K and I have zero regrets, it really has great motion clarity and for FPS beats even my OLED TV (even though OLED 240Hz might be a different story).
But for playing RPGs and action/adventure games I use an IPS Monitor with good colour coverage and better blacks, because I don't need more than 60FPS really for those games and I prefer to enjoy environments and the artistic side of those games.

I will probably upgrade the IPS panel to an OLED moving forward, while for the eSports monitor I will probably point to 360Hz with the XL2566K. Notice that I only mention Zowie monitors, they're expensive but they're the only one which make sense.
For any other brand just look at the best bang for the buck and watch tons of reviews to get an idea, only few makers get it right.

I wouldn't buy a 4080 right now...and wait for AMD GPUs to come out...they will surely drive down Nvidia's pricing and make it more convenient to buy in a few months 😛

Anyway, I play Valorant, R6Siege, Overwatch 2, Rocket League and Age of Empires 2 DE at 360+ FPS with a 3080Ti and a 5800X3D, I really never go under 360 so I think that with that GPU and CPU combo you will be just fine (as long as you choose the right RAM).

One thing I don't like though...you're not getting the best performance per watt going down that route...think two times about what are you building...going the Intel route a 13600K might be a better purchase...

[magic cedar]

So amd radeon at some point will beat nvida so for RDNA4 u think it gonna beat nvidia in next gen

[dark linden]

It won’t beat Nvidia in RT and upscaling, but for esport games might be better. RDNA3 sounds more efficient than Ada in rasterisation.

[magic cedar]

If I get the pc case with no psu is it great or not does it need psu something to do with electricity since pc are running on electricity

[crimson scroll]

you need a psu

[magic cedar]

really some case come out without PSU

As it said No PSU in some model

[crimson scroll]

most cases don't come with a psu

[magic cedar]

Wait wha-

[plucky oasis]

OK ok, let's say I wanna play some SEA OF THIEVES at 100fps (atleast) what do I need

[crimson scroll]

it's typically small form factor cases that will have an integrated psu or will bundle them together

[magic cedar]

I though it meant no PSU mean u don’t need to buy PSU as the case don’t support PSU

Well it I didn’t know that

[crimson scroll]

then your computer won't run

[crimson scroll]

at 1080p ultra? a 5600 and a 6600xt should get you there easily

[plucky oasis]

Do I need to have other good components or can it be mid

[crimson scroll]

what's your budget

[plucky oasis]

Uhm, 1000$

[crimson scroll]

the cpu and gpu together will maybe cost you 350 if you're buying in the us

you can definitely get nice parts

[plucky oasis]

Oh okok

Cause I saw some pre built pc at 2000$, corsair ahem

[crimson scroll]

prebuilts generally have bad price to performance

[plucky oasis]

And it wasn't even that good apparently

Yeah

[crimson scroll]

you're paying for the all in one warranty and the convenience

[plucky oasis]

Is there a brand you recommend for the case, processor etc

[magic cedar]

Wait isn’t they perform the same if both of them have same spec

[crimson scroll]

sure, if two computers have the exact same specs they should generally perform about equally

generally prebuilts have worse cases for cooling though

[magic cedar]

Prebuilt and custom one if both of them have same spec they should perform same result

[crimson scroll]

and they're more expensive

[crimson scroll]

not really, because every company makes good and bad products

[magic cedar]

So is prebuilt like $300-$400 expensive then custom or it more

[crimson scroll]

how much more expensive depends on what prebuilt you're getting

it generally scales; the more expensive the parts, the more expensive the prebuilt will be compared to building your own

[magic cedar]

hmmmm 🤔

but damm tbh for PSU u need to connect the right cable since I probably don’t know where to plug instead I plug randomly and the system probably screw up

for ram Ik which sloth to place

[crimson scroll]

there's plenty of guides on the internet

[magic cedar]

Ye……

I just wish it took me about 1 hour to finally build a pc rather 3-4 hrs

[crimson scroll]

That's typically how first time building goes

It'll be slower

[magic cedar]

btw can u explain me why do they have worst cases for cooling it just like they build it for u or u can copy the part and build it urself same thing

[crimson scroll]

There are services where you pick the parts including the case and they'll build it for you

But a lot of the time the case is preconfigured

If there are no proprietary parts, sure, you could copy the parts and build it yourself

[lethal flume]

Yo people. Is anyone here a possessor of the Steelseries Rival 650 Quantum? Any opinion on the mouse?

[elfin dirge]

cyberpunk 2077 be like

[pulsar fossil]

I was so confused by that temp until I saw the F

[elfin dirge]

thats still kind of a lot for a computer

[pulsar fossil]

Of course

But not 361 F a lot

[lime cobalt]

that was my old computer

under load it sit at like 200

I had to cool it with box fans

my current computer goes to 5ghz no problem

[glad wagon]

hello?

Can Steelseries start selling laptops and pc's?

[tidal cloud]

Anyone here know much abt aios?

[crimson scroll]

some

[weak relic]

https://pastebin.com/eXedB2Ee

should i be worried?

[pulsar fossil]

Possibly? I'm not sure how accurate the software is. I would def make sure that everything is backed up

Was curious

Kinda funny to see how many times the PC has been turned on

[weak relic]

welp

bad or not im still switching to a crucial 1tb nvme anyways

[pulsar fossil]

Sounds like a good idea

[magic cedar]

No way did the radeon just destroy nvidia ?

Nvidia 3090 ti vram got 24gb while the rx 6950xt vram got 16gb but it got higher fps in cod mw2

So should I get radeon graphic card once it available in December

Hard to say but once amd card are hit in stock we gonna see the review of their benchmark

[noble oak]

No. They didn't.

[glad wagon]

Hey yall which one do yall prefer the aerox 3 or the aerox 5

or would you rather have the rival 3 or the rival 4

[drifting temple]

hello

pls help me

my doesnt work sonar

[white marlin]

try to install it another time or update

[drifting temple]

no problem windows

noise canceling not working

[dull elk]

which brand pc do you prefer？ rog or msi

[dull elk]

A or B

Is ROG worth that 2000 usd?

[solemn iron]

Are you going to overclock? If not, then no.

[dull elk]

Emmmm I guess no… I don’t think I am going to overclock… I am just playing some games like Csgo with this pc…

Do you think A is good enough or there is something I can make change?

My friend said that I should use better memory and better SSD?

[solemn iron]

I think they are both good. If you are not enthusiast and not overclock, get much cheaper mobo. - medium. High mobo is total overkill if you are not going to overclock.

Listen your friend if you trust him.

[dull elk]

thx for the advice. I almost added that 2000usd…

[crimson scroll]

Neither is really worth that much imo

[little ermine]

guys anyone got an idea as to why a Ryzen 5600x CPU usage is just up to 3% to 5% on gaming while on the benchmark i watch on yt with the same config they go up to 55% cpu usage?

there might be a PC setting i miss to check but i dont know where

[trail wyvern]

is it impacting performance of the game?

depending on the game, a 5600x may be completely overkill or the gpu may be bottlenecking cpu cycles

also, remember that a lot of these youtube channels are also capturing and encoding as they record. So their numbers may not be what you should expect

[little ermine]

@trail wyvern yeah I take account the capturing process but still I dont get it why. I watch someone with the same exact spec and settings of the game and they are getting 120 to 140 fps on Warzone 2 While recording, while me im struggling at 90 to 120fps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfpGXUANSo8 this is the exact spec i got

Oh man... This is unsettling for me

Im thinking if theres a bios setting i miss

[trail wyvern]

bios setting would be to use pcie4 (if applicable on your mobo) or the resizeable BAR support

[little ermine]

That feature is on along with the 4G decoding enabled

SAM is also on

[trail wyvern]

default radeon settings with latest driver, or rage mode/undervolt/etc?

[little ermine]

Yeah this too, all defaulth

[trail wyvern]

same quality presets as the sample?

[little ermine]

Whats also bizarre to me is, they even run it on 1440p and still getting a high fps 😂

[trail wyvern]

b/c your CPU is 100% not the issue, if your GPU is at 98% it is keeping workload from getting to your cpu

[little ermine]

Yes its same

[trail wyvern]

well, radeon shines at 1440p/4k, and struggles moreso at 1080p due to architecture differences

[little ermine]

Could be monitor issue?

[trail wyvern]

no, look at your perf. metrics vs his

your GPU is hotter, pulling more power, and blasting the fans

while his is at 62% or so with lower temps and way lower fan speeds

your gpu seems to be throttling perf due to temps. fans shouldn't be that high. idk what your airflow or ambient temp situation is

[little ermine]

Could be heat slows it down also putting it on high load?

[trail wyvern]

but your numbers show the gpu is hot and struggling to push fps or draw power within a reasonable temp

right, if it gets hot the gpu will not push itself further. That's by design to keep it from bricking itself

that could be the gpu partner design, dirty heatsinks, or a case with poor airflow takes the same parts and chokes performance potential

or even just bad contact that needs re-pasting

[little ermine]

Its kinda warm here in my room

Let me right to ramp up the fans

Just to check if there is a difference

[trail wyvern]

yea, worth setting it to 100% fan just for a test

or popping the side panel off of your case to ensure it gets fresh air

I had a buddy with an alienware that had baller hardware but that embarrassment of a case that Dell uses on alienware made his 3080 perform like a 3060

[little ermine]

Oh man

Running test now

I didnt take into account the heat issue as all I knew that if it runs below 75c and not shutting down. Its fine

[trail wyvern]

it's not in danger if it stays below 75, but it has a logic that will pull more power and increase clocks as long as temps look good and aren't rising. If it tries to ramp up perf, got to 85c, it would throttle back down and settle where your screenshot shows it

amd/radeon since the 3000/5000 series are pretty straightforward in their logic. Better cooling=better performance with auto clocks

[little ermine]

Thanks man, I'll monitor this

But still getting 90 to 120fps even on 90% fam speed

But the gpu tem ks 65 core 79 junction

[trail wyvern]

it's not bad, but these youtubers always understand tons of nuance that tweaks it beyond a lot of at home setups

and it's more than playable

junction temps are all you really need to worry about, as that's what will throttle your rig

[sweet jasper]

If it works it works : )

3080

Is okay ?

[trail wyvern]

are you tossing a splitter on a single output?
if so - it will probably work, but isn't recommended

[little ermine]

Man dismayed that I think im just having 80% performance of my build I have no idea what should be the enxt step

🥱

[sweet jasper]

is okay for today?

[trail wyvern]

if it works, it works. like you said

if you start seeing issues down the road, just assume that may be the source and swap your psu out

[sweet jasper]

people say cable will start fire from too many power

is true?

[trail wyvern]

the smart cables for the 4000 series, yes

but, you said it's a 3080 which doesn't have the same issue

so, 3080=fine
4080=fire hazard

again, this is not recommended as splitting power risks a power sag if the psu isn't able to hold up or is barely strong enough, but shouldn't be a fire hazard unless it's the 4000 series smart power

[sweet jasper]

it is a 750w nzxt psu

C750

and the cable is nzxt stock

[trail wyvern]

nvidia says 750 is min spec for a 3080, so just don't overclock and you should be alright

[little ermine]

I did some test and i wonder why when playing. Only one core is doing 50% while the rest is at 0 to 2% utilization.

[trail wyvern]

That's usually about software development. Anything that isn't multi threaded will do that, newer games are more likely to be setup to leverage multiple cores

[weak drift]

how do i put the tab back on on the arctis headsets cus i took it off cus something was loose and now i cant put it back

nevermind i somehow put it back on

[noble oak]

ن

[little night]

Thoughts on the build?

[trail wyvern]

it's a solid build, not the most cost effective options, but I understand NZXT has a great aesthetic

the one thing you should push a little more if you want to upgrade down the road is the psu, the higher end gpu's put 850 as their min so grabbing an 850 over a 750 may save you a lot of cable swapping down the road

[little ermine]

As it turns out. Its the Windows 11 22H2 update is the cause. Ive reformatted and used windows 11 21H2 now mu cpu utilization is evenly given in all cores.
BIOS isn't the problem also as I did no change but the XMP

Somehow by doing incremential updates with windows it fcked up the core task scheduling.

This is so bizarre to me, ive been playing on a stalled PC for years that I thought thats it. Turns out I have more performance gain by just doing a fresh OS install 🥴

My Wazone 2 benchmarks now are hitting 110 to 150 fps, with smooth frames no frame stutter and drops. Also I notice the rendering is far better here as I see no pixelated edges.

In addition by using the Ryzen Master auto OC calibrator. It ramped up my 5600x up to 4.7GHz with a PBO -30, +1.0GHz OC with max load temp upto 79c (im using Liquid AIO)

Also by doing research. I turned off CPPC thing in the BIOS as they said its useless for 5600x by how its core are designed.

[little ermine]

Also you may find a cheap 3600mhz ram instead of 3200mhz

[crimson scroll]

Definitely agree on the price aspect. 300 for a B550? 240 for the case? 650 for a 3060ti?

650 can get you a 6900xt or a 3080

[waxen tinsel]

[shadow anvil]

Where can I get it?

[worn schooner]

I mean I can still run a 3090 with 750 right?

Jus not at fast?

[trail wyvern]

You could, but may see issues depending on model and settings. 750 will limit boosting on a 3090.

Hello guys, I do not have an NVIDIA graphics card, and if I open the SteelSeries program, I have FPS drops in games. What should I do? Is there an option or not, because I did not open the program, the FPS is 180, and if I open the program, it is 80 or 50

[frosty skiff]

What are your specs (CPU, RAM, etc.) have you taken a look at the resource monitor to see what's bottlenecking?

Okay thanks for the help

[vocal topaz]

Hey I know I might not be completely right here with my question but I'll try anyways...
So few days ago I took my PC apart to replace the thermal paste and clean it. I haven't done it the first time and kinda knew what I'm doing. Now I'm a bit concerned because one of my fans is very noisy and it seems to get worse every day. (My PC barely did a sound before) Can anyone of you guys tell me, how I find out which fan it is and what I can eventually do against the noise? Because it's most likely not because of dust (unless I accidentally sweep it in a corner or something) Would be very grateful, thanks in advance for help.

[tropic tree]

I would start out by downloading something like hardware info to get a reading on the cpu temps and other temps.

[vocal topaz]

I mean the temps seem perfectly fine, it's just loud 😆 but maybe I have to deal with that, since it still does its job very good

[plucky oasis]

If it's very loud while using little games check everything, it might be something wrong

[prisma ferry]

Probably shouldn't ask this in this channel, but it was the most related to my question.

how make computer powered by hampster

[vocal topaz]

basically right after the PC start, I did check everything, unplug and replug and run with every single fan one by one but it doesn't seem to be a fan problem, so now Im kinda concerned what else it could be, I dont have any more stuff inside my PC lmao, even went to the bios to see the fan speed, nothing too fast or abnormal, and my PC is not much older than 2 years and I still didnt pay for it fully, would be a shame if it would break before it fully paid lol

[acoustic ibex]

Is it the same sound as normal, just louder?

[vocal topaz]

ye it doesn't sound abnormal, its just sounds like a hair dryer kinda, and before I touched it aka took apart it was quiet very much

[acoustic ibex]

Did you make sure to plug your fan connector back into the same place you unplugged it from on the motherboard?

[vocal topaz]

yes definetly.

[acoustic ibex]

There's nothing else you unplugged? There's no reason the fan should be louder unless you plugged it into the wrong header and it's running full speed or you damaged it somehow (it'd likely sound like it's dragging if that's the case tho)

[vocal topaz]

I mean, I stupidly didnt like take a pic of how it was before, so idk, but Im sure there is only one for the CPU fan? its weird that before, where it was full of dust its quiet and when I clean it its loud, my bios only registeres 2 fans (not my GPU one for idk what reason) and there it says both fans (cpu and case run on 1000 RPM something, which idk if thats normal, but my temps look very good. and it also cant be that I build it in upside down, because ik there's arrows and I followed the arrows and also there is a sticker on the fan so. its weird that as soon as I press shutdown on my PC the noise is gone, so its not even getting less (not that I would notice), and I also run my PC open yesterday to check the spinning behaviour and nothing looked out of order, its not spinning weirdly or wanky or something, so idk maybe its a different issue, Im not that much of a pro

but the noise does indeed sound like a fan, maybe I have a 4th one somewhere? 😂

its def. also not my power supply, its very quiet

[acoustic ibex]

I'd get some fan monitoring software on your OS, you can Google it and find one you like, and see if the fans are actually running at the speeds you set in BIOS and adjust them if not

[vocal topaz]

that one program I have is super weird, says my one fan is 256 and my other one is 2000 something

and it never changes

it also been at this stats before I took it apart

I have a extra one for my GPU which lets me control my GPU fan so even if that other program says my GPU fan doesnt exist or whatever, I can see and hear it does

thats what it says, which I cant understand how this nonsense comes

[dusky wren]

can someone recommend a good wifi card for $50

[devout wolf]

the cheapest one you can find with an AX200 or AX210 chipset

usually around $25-30

[rustic crypt]

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - $299.99
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4 - $89.99
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200 - $79.99
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - $399.99
Storage: Kingston A2000 1TB NVMe SSD - $109.99
Extra Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2TB Hard Drive - $49.99
Power Supply: EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze - $69.99
Case: Phanteks Eclipse G360A ATX Mid Tower Case - $99.99
Total: Total: $999.94

good pc for 1k right

[crimson scroll]

eh

300 for the 5600x is too much, you can get a comparable ssd for less, 3060 for 400 is a bit too much, otherwise it seems okay

any reccomondations for 16 gb ram?

[mortal shore]

what use, what is your budget?

[near ember]

i dont have enough ram for just cause 3 also maybe 60 bucks

also it would be good to have more

[mortal shore]

ok, you looking for DDR3 or 4?

[near ember]

How do i tell?

[mortal shore]

what mobo do you have? you can check on system information

these are pretty good for the price https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-PC4-28800-1-35V-Desktop-Memory/dp/B07FBVYFKH/ref=asc_df_B07FBVYFKH/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=372532724124&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2916228281080025524&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046243&hvtargid=pla-549299555714&th=1&ref=&adgrpid=75959380505

uhhhhhh i dont know what that is

[near ember]

Thanks

[mortal shore]

no worries! just make sure it'll work with your motherboard, if you want more help send me a private DM

[near ember]

Okay, im in task manager right now it says form factorDIMM, does that have to do with anything?

[mortal shore]

that's good sign of you're using dual channel memory, do you know any specs of your pc?

[near ember]

i know that it has a amd ryzen 5 in it

with 256 gb 8gb ram

[mortal shore]

Great CPU series, that'll support the RAM I have provided. Is the 256gb a NVME, HDD, SSD?

[near ember]

its also the hp pavillion gaming desktop

[mortal shore]

what year?

found it

do you have a GPU?

[near ember]

No i dont beleive so

[near ember]

hah beat me to it

[mortal shore]

Do you play any other games?

[near ember]

i play roblox, minecraft, i just downloaded just cause 3 and cod mw2 today tho

[mortal shore]

Ok looking at the specs, it has a IGPU. that will struggle getting smooth game play. Have you thought about making your own pc?

[near ember]

i have, But i currently do not have the budget

[mortal shore]

To be honest, If I was you I would save up as you have more paths for upgrades and no real point getting the 16GB RAM with the HP desktop

[near ember]

Okay

[mortal shore]

use the $60 towards the new build if you do

[near ember]

Alright

Thank you for your help

[mortal shore]

no worries mate

I updated it… budget is 1.5k but I like the new intel Gpus.

[autumn gate]

its good, personally i think you're going overkill with the water cooling though

could easily get an air cooler for an i5, unless your looking to go to the i9 in the future

[faint quail]

might i ask are you planning to add a extra fan or 2 or just 1 fan and the water cooler

[spare mulch]

Actually to save money, ima upgrade ram, storage, and cooler on my current pc

[autumn gate]

Do whatever works best for you 👍

[noble oak]

hi i wanted to see what ddr i have its my put other who can help me please thank you ?

[autumn gate]

do windows + R and type msinfo32 and check your motherboard. then look it up to find the manufacturer and they have the supported memory and etc.

[mossy heath]

tips to make it cheaper? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w3ZFLs

[feral canopy]

Maybe don't need Trident-Z royal RAM, perhaps Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB?

Unless the $30 doesnt matter too much and you want the cool factor of the Trident RAM, ofc.

[prisma ferry]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Dooggey/saved/#view=Mtj8Q7 Is this a good pc build? I've bever built a PC so i dont have an idea if this is good

[crimson scroll]

2600 is outdated

and noat a good deal at 190

hyper 212 is too much at 83

gt730 is a bad card

40 for a 240gb ssd is too much

basically it's way overpriced

and not even a full hd monitor

[pale panther]

do not buy that monitor

[prisma ferry]

Oh I forgot i added a monitor

[pale panther]

think because it’s white that’s hy

[crimson scroll]

even so

it's not worth that much

[prisma ferry]

aight thanks

i'll try to find better ones

[pale panther]

what’s ur budget?

[prisma ferry]

1k

[crimson scroll]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jr4JQ6

something like this is much better

modern parts and a known case

more budget allocated to the GPU because that's what is going to get you more performance in most games

[pale panther]

since bugget is 1k can definitely do better on the gpu

[crimson scroll]

sure

i just left a lot of room for a better monitor

and windows

yes, you don't need windows

[pale panther]

monitors arnt too bad if ur smart with it

[crimson scroll]

if they want to buy it they can

[pale panther]

Check this out! https://amzn.eu/d/5ndBQ7G

around 40$ more expensive but ur getting a lot better specs

[crimson scroll]

i'd personally go for a more known brand

[prisma ferry]

Ooh this looks nice

[pale panther]

going for named brands sometimes means ur gonna be paying more because of the “brand name”

[crimson scroll]

you'll also likely get a better tuned panel, better warranty support, often a better stand

not every company is just riding on the brand name

[prisma ferry]

Good point

[pale panther]

when looking for a monitor you don’t want anything less then 75Hz and 1920x1080

@prisma ferry

[prisma ferry]

Oh alr i'll look for those ones

[pale panther]

check ur pms there’s 2 different monitors from asus and 1 from acer

[prisma ferry]

What PM's?

[pale panther]

personal message

[pulsar fossil]

Please stay on topic @atomic arch :)

[lime cobalt]

Off brand is fine

Most "off brand" displays use the same panels more known companies use

A good example is walmart's 1440p gaming monitor

170 (on sale 180rn regular 210)

[crimson scroll]

I'm all for off brand stuff like amazonbasics life engine monitor arms being rebranded ergotrons

But the thing is these monitors often have worse warranties and customer support

And worse build quality

[rain berry]

I there,
I will start a new channel on youtube and i need your support to sent materials too built gaming pc's. You think is possible? Thank you

Seasonic, ASUS ROG

Cooler master are decent

[pale panther]

go get em tiger 😭

[cerulean meteor]

preferably look for powersupplies with protections such as (Over Voltage Protection, Over Current Protection and Over Power Protection)

I can't name any 600/650W models off the top of my head ;(

[elder ferry]

I ended up going with a 750 when I needed a 500 for updates...:D

[boreal valve]

hi

[crimson scroll]

@lyric marsh fair price would be anywhere from 500 to 600 for a 3080 10g that's in good working condition

[lyric marsh]

tyty

Someone offered me 570 and ima take it

[stoic plaza]

Seasonic - is always a great choice. I am using simular to the one you mentioned for more than a year in situation when I have a lot of unpredicted power shortages in the city, and this unit is staying strong

[stoic plaza]

Fractal desighn? Good choice!

[floral mason]

it was super simppe

simple

[stoic plaza]

They are doing great cases. One of there cases was in my upgrade list no so long ago, but I have picked lian-li instead. Still, Fractals are great

[floral mason]

I was gonna get a 011 dynamic mini air but it’s a very wide case

[stoic plaza]

I ordered Lancool III and absolutely love it . Simplest build I ever made

[floral mason]

I plan to go to Micro Center in Tustin soon

[stoic plaza]

To pick up GPU, I hope

[floral mason]

yeah

I’m most likely gonna get a dual fan card because the size of my case

[stoic plaza]

Well, your case have a great airflow, so I thing it will be fine

[floral mason]

Instead of using the fractal fans, I bought the Phantecks T30

[stoic plaza]

Don't know about them, guess you chose something good

[floral mason]

3000 rpm fans, better than the noctua a12x25

lol did you notice I put a hot wheels inside my case

[stoic plaza]

I did, cool!

[pale panther]

don’t get 3060 get 3060ti or go with 3070

[pale panther]

1.2k usd is a little low for a gaming pc

[crimson scroll]

?? not really

depends on what resolution, refresh rate, and game you're playing

i don't agree that it shouldn't be more, but i also don't think it's low

[pale panther]

should of probably should of worded it differently i don’t think it’s low for a gaming pc but i think the number is a little low considering most gaming pc if you are trying to get the most will be spending way over 1.2k

that’s just my personal opinion on things anyway

[forest ledge]

my whole set up costed 1.3 k and its not bad

[pale panther]

it’s possible to be good / be nice but in a lot of cases it’s also not enough

[civic frost]

some mediocre amd processor and a 1080 ti , if you can get one 😄

[pale panther]

1.2k can buy you nice if you find right deals yeah but also wouldn’t say shouldn’t cost you more then 1.2k

again just my personal opinion

yeah in my personal opinion i will probably never touch a AMD gpu

see my “dream” pc built would reach almost 2k GBP

[jaunty summit]

duckie mind helping me with some headset issues?

[pale panther]

@ you in general

i currently have a 3060 and i won’t lie the 3060 isn’t all that

AMD is definitely the way to go if ur on a budget

i will forever suggest if you get a 3060 spend the extra for a ti unless ur getting it for a steal

[crimson scroll]

Weird to hear that you suggest a 3060ti but also spend more than 1.2k

Because that's typically around the level of gpu I'd suggest for the 1000-1.2k budget

Yeah, by level i meant the 3060tis, 6700xt, etc

Didn't mean I only recommend 3060tis

Amd is certainly better in rasterized price/perf

[forest ledge]

we all know that the gaming macbook is the best

[crimson scroll]

Sure

I don't disagree

[forest ledge]

it beats everything

[rapid sail]

[crimson scroll]

To be fair, the m1 and m2 chips are very performant and efficient

[forest ledge]

apple is more a designer company than a technology company

[crimson scroll]

If you want a laptop with high battery life Intel and amd offerings don't stand up as well

And their ram usage is pretty cool

Unfortunate that it means only 8gb in a lot of their laptops but also what they can do with 8 is nuts

[forest ledge]

have you ever dared to use the settings on a apple pc

[crimson scroll]

Yes

I've used macs before

[forest ledge]

[crimson scroll]

Yes

good

this one

[pale panther]

i mean the fact if you are going to go for a 3060 go with the ti if ur hearts on it ygm

[crimson scroll]

Depends on budget really

what’s up

[iron finch]

Does anyone know how to find mainboards with Modern Standby and PCR7 support? I asked ASUS and MSI tech support but they have no clue about it

I have MSI Z490 Tomahawk at the moment, and thinking about upgrading to AMD Ryzen 9 7900/7950 or Intel i9 13900K/KF

[iron finch]

PCR7 is actually supported by Win 10 and 11. I am trying to enable Bitlocker in silent install mode and these two are required. Just getting a physical TPM chip is also not enough. In my PC, PCR7 and Modern Standby is enabled if I ran it in Vmware virtual host, but not in my physical host

[crimson scroll]

7900 is much better value than 7900x

Turn on pbo if you need the perf, basically turns it into a 7900x

[iron finch]

that is nice to know. what about 7950?

[crimson scroll]

7950x? Or 7950x3d

7950 doesn't exist unless you're talking about the old gpu

[iron finch]

not the gpu but cpu

I used intel as long as I remember 🙂

for gpu I am thinking about rtx 4080 or 4090

my 2080ti is not performing well with ray tracing

for cpu what is the difference between x and x3d?

[cerulean meteor]

Pretty sure one of the differences of the X3D is more cache unless I'm remembering wrong

@serene dirge I think you have a Typo I think it should read H310M-R R2.0 and if this is correct? it supports 4 Sata 6.0Gb/s so a 2.5" Sata 3 Drive would be what to shop for.
If you currently have 3.5" Standard HDD you will need to also buy a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter.

Workstation load? Different circumstance

My fault. thought I was in that channel.

[signal merlin]

Just a question, im trying to find good headphones WITHOUT a microphone, are there any steelseries headsets that are made for audio quality/comfort thats on a budget?

[pulsar fossil]

I don't really think SteelSeries makes any without a mic?

[signal merlin]

alright

[pulsar fossil]

But many of them has the mic pretty well hidden when not in use fwiw

[signal merlin]

alr

do you know any good headphones/headsets with good audio quality/comfort?

[bold parrot]

Can anyone help me with building a pc? I don’t know anything about pc’s

[vale plover]

i mean the most comfortable headphones ive worn are steelseries, and their audio quality is great

and like lennart said the mics are pretty well hidden and on the novas they are pretty much unnoticeable

you really would have to look for it to notice it

[vale plover]

yeah i can if you would if you still need help

[covert jacinth]

Hi guys what do you think about the asus rx 6650 xt

[timber bane]

What would you like help with picking out parts or something else?

[timber bane]

No you will be totally fine as they have the same 5600hz or whatever number you might have gotten they will run the same and you will be all set.

[timber bane]

Steelseries are great and you really don't notice the microphone but if you truly want something that doesn't have a microphone at all I would highly consider beyerdynamic dt990 pro 250ohm and they will do wonders for you while playing games as well as music and movies.

[signal merlin]

Alright, a microphone is fine but I just need a good headset on a budget

my laptop with a 1050ti when i try load gta NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT DO THIS

[stoic plaza]

I have inserted 2 more stics of ram that are also 3600 mhz as the 2 before, but now I have 2400 mhz

[timber bane]

did you go into your bios and change the xmp for your ram?

[stoic plaza]

It something really strange:
I eventually went in to the bios(msi) and changed it to 3600.
After that the computer was stuck at screen "Preparing for recovery"
After I unpluged new RAM everything went back to normal. Maybe I need to reinstall my Windows

[timber bane]

I have never heard of that happening before at all. could possibly be an issue with your ram stick or something. Are all your sticks rated for 3600?

[stoic plaza]

Yes, they all are
I have found such cases on forum, they do say that this is windows

I need ask question. Has aviable anybody help?

[keen portal]

what do u need

[glacial zodiac]

Do I need to upgrade my Ram? 32gb (16 x 2) 3600 MHz. Not planning tp upgrade my CPU since I just upgraded from this list a week ago

= Recent upgrade =
GTX 1080 ti > RTX 4080
3800x > 5900x
PSU 750w > 1000w

Not really looking to upgrade to DDR 5 since I already spent a lot of money and DD5 2x the price from DDR 4. Probably wait till the next gen comes out

[keen portal]

Yeah u should

Bro u got 4080 the least u should have is 32gigs

[worldly wraith]

Started putting together parts for new pc build. Have ASUS z790 hero mb, i9-13900ks, 1000w ps. Want to run a solid 240 fps in Fortnite. Do I need rtx 4090 or is 4080 okay?

I’ll spend the extra for the 4090 if it will make a difference but I’m wondering if it’s just overkill?

[crimson scroll]

you don't need a 4090 for 240fps in fortnite

[worldly wraith]

Thanks. Didn’t think so.

[sacred portal]

are we talking about 4k gaming?

and what graphics settings are we talking about?

[sacred portal]

honestly it depends on what games/stuff u doing, 16gb is minimum, 32gb is already good 64gb is great, but 128 is overkill...well honestly id say 64 is overkill as well

32gigs is ok

[rustic crypt]

which one is the best?

[spring tapir]

small reminder, support for Win11 ends with this year 😉 10 is longer supported. For the PCs it self. I would recommended the first. CPU is a good mid-class and the GPU is a good choice. Strong enough for all actual games on Full-HD (For 2K or 4K is the GPU Ram a bit small)

[jolly dome]

This setup is better

[jolly dome]

Microsoft will keep on support for win 11

go with ddr5 ram

i7 13th gen with ddr5 ram 4x2 8gb ddr5 any mhz or 8x2 16gb mhz , any motherboard which is z790 have wifi and 2 nvme slot and can support upto 64gb ddr5 rams is good i prefer gigabyte arous any cheap model , 600 watts is good with 3060 but with 3060ti i would say higher then 600 watts

[dreamy escarp]

just an idea , my current pc is similar , with i9 10th gen , 64gb ram ddr4 , 3060 12gb

got it in 2021

[weary flame]

Depends
What's your GPU?
And do you actually have money for it

I'd wait like, a couple of weeks more, until 7000X3D comes out

5800X3D will, out of nowhere, become WAY cheaper

[keen portal]

3070

[weary flame]

Fair
Just wait for 7000X3D and then see how prices are

It should be significantly cheaper

[keen portal]

Ok thanks

[weary flame]

Np

[young hill]

why not just x670

[young hill]

doubt. poor 7000 series sales saw increase of 5000 series by a fair amount to make 7000 seem like a good deal. Probably going to be the same with 5800X3D

[weary flame]

No?
5000 series went down
The 5900x is slightly over 200 iirc
5800x under 200
And the rest is just really cheap, you can find a 5600(X) for like, 100-150?

If we follow the trend of 5000 to 7000
Prices will go down

Put onto that the 5800X3D which became more expensive because of how much it was bought
If the 7000X3D is way better than the 5800X3D and more than marginally better than the base 7000, which it will with just the base parts being quite good on performance, we will see the same thing as the 5800X3D

Numerous people are already prepared to go to 7000 series if the performance is good

[young hill]

in canada the 5600 went from 150 to 250. prices went up accross the board when 7000 was experiencing bad sales

i dont see why amd would lower the price on the best upgrade available for an am4 platform just because they release 7xxxX3D

[lucid glade]

Because I don't plan on swapping out the motherboard until AM6 and my case is a nightmare to get into.

[young hill]

With how direct x storage is looking I don’t think 16 extra pcie 5 lanes gonna matter too much.

Also what case you got?

[lucid glade]

Huh... Guess I wasn't supposed to post my PC here?

[young hill]

I guess they can’t whisper in your ear to buy steelseries peripherals if you already have a pc setup

[crimson scroll]

if it's a desktop, they should all work

you might get some performance differences based on pcie 3.0 vs 4.0, but the physical connector is all the same

you might also need to worry about physical clearances within the case

if you want to figure out what motherboard you have, you could open up your pc and look inside

all depends on what you are looking for in a pc, what games you plan on playing etc

[trim flame]

GAMDIAS Aeolus M2-1204R RGB

[weary flame]

One sec then

Did you plug in the fan header on the controller?

In the right header on the board

Did you start the PC
as I see that it has a remote, as opposed to the more used software approach, so it might be that the LED's can work without the fans being on themselves

what do you think

Does this safe make sense?

I'm thinking of these for your new computer ?

[weary flame]

From what I've seen, not directly the cheapest case, maybe try to go for a Meshify 2 or C, or a Torrent, the latter has 2 180mm fans and it performs really well for airflow, and I think it's cheaper or close to the same price

CPU is quite nice, not much to say about tbh

Lower frequency ram, atm AMD does not support well past 6000Mhz (Expo or XMP), and 6000Mhz itself is sometimes cutting it close

The GPU, honestly, I'm not gonna try to tell ya, the 40 series exists, and that's as far as I wanna go with it
Board is quite nice, without knowing what you'll use it for little I can say

Maybe up PSU, it's def not needed, but it might be nice to get a higher wattage one, the white PC components tend to be more expensive too btw

SSD is good

Liquid freezer II is cheaper and quite good for price, at least what I can find directly

I hope this helps a bit

[arctic panther]

general purpose

Unfortunately, since I am in Turkey, it is difficult to find the safe you mentioned.

but thanks anyway

What is the difference between 7600x and 7700x? @weary flame

[weary flame]

2 cores, a bit of cache and a little bit of frequency

Why?

If you're comparing
Gimme prices rq

I can see if it's really worth it or not

[static pecan]

Depends on the workload, but if you're planning on mostly gaming/web browsing then the 2 extra cores of the 7700X won't make much difference. The 7600X is more than enough for most general use cases, unless you plan on doing game streaming or video editing. In which case I'd say spring for the 7700X. Or if you can find one for a really good price, but chances are you'll get a better deal on the 7600X

[arctic panther]

7600x 5000TL ,7700x 7000TL

Berry

Honestly, getting a 4070 ti is getting harder every day, I need to buy some things cheap.

[weary flame]

Eh, the 7700 still performs better in games generally
And it depends on the price too

It's also still just one CCD

Which helps massively in games compared to 2

[weary flame]

Can you rq convert to euro?

[weary flame]

Try 3070-3080 maybe

[weary flame]

Oh
And 2 cores extra will help with background stuffs

Which shouldn't be an issue on the 7000 series, but it still helps

[bitter void]

is this configuration good enough?: ryzen 7 5800x, 3070ti, b550, 16gb ddr4-3200, 750w, 1tb ssb and 2tb hdd(but i think i will replace the hdd with an extern ssd 1tb or sum)?

[weary flame]

Try 3600 CL 16

And maybe a 850 to be save

And you can still use the HDD, you don't have to replace it
But if you do go with another SSD
Depending on the motherboard, you have multiple NVMe slots

[arctic panther]

7600x 245euro 7700x 344 euro

[weary flame]

What you can do is a fairly cheap 250gb NVMe SSD with the system, and the 1TB SSD just for things like games

But then again, depends on NVMe slots

[weary flame]

Do you have the 7700 there?
Without the X

[static pecan]

They pretty much tie in 1% and .1% lows which is what really matters. Sure, the average FPS on a 7700X might be ~10% higher than the 7600X, but for 20+% of the price it really isn't worth it for just gaming, unless there's a really good sale going on

[bitter void]

yeah i thought of an 850, 3600 will do

[weary flame]

Eh
Like I said, it depends on the price

And lows are obsolete atm on most games, excluding the really modern ones where optimisation wasn't there, they're so ridiculously high and close/above 60 FPS
It's useless

Yes, they're important

[arctic panther]

296,52 euro

[weary flame]

What?

Oh

I said sh*t

Anyway, if your lows are truly low, that's or your game is too high and you are (probably) GPU bottlenecked

Or the game just isn't optimised

I get the concern, but since Ryzen 5000 and, idk, even Intel 10th gen, but def since 12th

That's not really as much a concern anymore

The cores rn are about doing several things at once, which is why if say "depends on the price" for those things

[weary flame]

That's not too bad
Look at your budget and see if you can spend that extra ~50 bucks

Do activate PBO when installing the CPU, you'll have equivalent to 5700X performance

Because PBO is absolutely broken

If you want to spare some extra money, get a 7600 and enable PBO on that
