💻-building-a-pc

[prisma zenith]

is it that easy?

[plucky oasis]

On the paper, yes

but it depends, my friend has a PC with no problem

another spent a day building ut

[prisma zenith]

xD

I'd love to try later... not now anyway

[rancid bobcat]

With my current pc I did exactly that, even though I keep an eye on technology an computers in general, I've never built a pc before

I did watch many hours of youtube videos on tips and tricks on how to deal with cables, coolers and potential issues

[prisma zenith]

[cerulean hearth]

Anyone know what I should get if I'm building a pc for between 1.5 and 2k

[unique totem]

4070ti I think

[cerulean hearth]

Anything else you'd recommend

[unique totem]

i5-13600
B660

and 32 ram
2tb ssd

[cerulean hearth]

Cheers

[unique totem]

I built my pc 3 month ago

learn every thing from google. so maybe can't get all of them right

[cerulean hearth]

Its all good

Thanks tho

[cerulean hearth]

Can I add you incase I need anything again?

[unique totem]

yeah of course

[weary flame]

One sec, i did a thing recently

I need to pull it

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/89dnW4

This is slightly under 1.5k

You can improve the GPU significantly, but it will drive up cost a lot

[unique totem]

oh the AMD card

[weary flame]

Yeah

It's a good system

If you want to change the GPU, let me see around

Rest is like, top notch already

[unique totem]

but I dont like its software

[weary flame]

Actually, haza, where you from?
the US or?

[weary flame]

AMD overdrive or something?

I forgot the name actually

Imo it's more accessible for OC etc

But I get it, you don't have to use it anyway

And the price/performance is amazing

[unique totem]

I mean the update thing

[weary flame]

Oh?

[unique totem]

like my 7900xtx when I use the latest update my game just crush every time

[weary flame]

....?

that's just updates

Not the update software

Which game, btw?

[cerulean hearth]

uk

[unique totem]

every game

[weary flame]

Ah, let me see

[weary flame]

When does it crash?

[unique totem]

apex satisfatory

[unique totem]

when ever I enter the game

[weary flame]

That doesn't tell me much

[unique totem]

like enter a match then it crush

[cerulean hearth]

thanks for the help by the way guys. just wanna get it right as best i can the first time

[weary flame]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9Dscd9

this is the other option

The GPU is massively beefed up

It is ~1.7k GBP

[unique totem]

so I remove it and download the one release on Feb

[weary flame]

Oh god

lemme change that PSU

Maybe

I forgot how efficient the 4070 is

[unique totem]

amd cards always need debug

[cerulean hearth]

dude this is mint. i don't think i know people that are so helpful haha

[waxen forum]

anyone here got the apex pro mini

[unique totem]

this card is strange only get 8 vram

[weary flame]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DZmP2m

here

I changed the PSU

It's somewhat cheaper, you don't have to use it

But it's there

Doesn't the GPU have a 12pin?

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[weary flame]

It has 12GB....?

[unique totem]

@cerulean hearth 1.5~2k include monitor mouse keyboard or not?

[unique totem]

oh my bad

[weary flame]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DZmP2m

This should have a 12 pin cable

Like a dedicated one

[weary flame]

Good question, there is like 500 pounds left in the budget

I did not select an OS

You can do that yourself

Too lazy

This is like "barebones" stuff

[unique totem]

I mean the 4060ti have a 16vram coming out

but 4070 have 12

[weary flame]

The 4060 is fricked

Don't get it

Neither the ti

Bus is too small

The 4070, so far, is the only Nvidia card I can really recommend on a good consciousness

As in, the 4080 and 90 are flatout too expensive

The 4070ti sorta is too, but besides that the whole thing where it was the 4080 "12GB" is also a thing

And the 4060 line, including ti, just suffers from bandwidth and less than 10% generational uplift

[novel field]

Guys is that powerbank compatible with rtx 40 series

[weary flame]

Yes and no

Which GPU?

[novel field]

4060ti

[weary flame]

1. my condolences (read thing I sent before what you sent)
2. It is with the dongle

[cerulean hearth]

nope just pc

[weary flame]

Otherwise, i can find an SF one that has it

But it depends if you want to use the split thing or not

[cerulean hearth]

my dual monitors shoot HD so we chill

[novel field]

What's the split things ?

[weary flame]

This is one of the best builds I can recommend for that then, it's sub 2k, and it's all amazing tech

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DZmP2m

[unique totem]

oh thats true

yeah I was wondering will 16vram be good on 4060ti

[weary flame]

The second thing bottom right

On the 4060ti it's just an 8 to 12 pin

So instead of 4 it's 1

Ofc you can also use a 12 pin itself from a PSU

But I need to know your case first and foremost

[weary flame]

Nope, if the bus is small, it will get oversaturated and while it might have performance uplift
it won't be much and it will be, well, oversaturated

[novel field]

Mine is 1 time PCIe 8pin

[weary flame]

....?

I know, I said that

I need to know what type of PSU you're buying

Is it an SFX or an ATX

Okay, ATX

lemme see

Country?

[novel field]

ATX/EPS

[weary flame]

https://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/4068

Here

This has a native 12+4 pin

Should word

@unique totemBtw, I forgot to say, check with the brand of your GPU for a defect

If you have that issue

[unique totem]

mine is asus tuf

[weary flame]

oh god

GL with RMA

But yeah, take contact with Asus

[unique totem]

what?

[weary flame]

as in, why gl or what's RMA?

[unique totem]

you mean that's the hardware issue?

[weary flame]

yes and no

It might be related to the update Asus released

Maybe RMA isn't the right word actually

[unique totem]

I download the amd driver from amd itself

[weary flame]

Then it still can be Asus related

Have you found other people talking about this issue?

[unique totem]

not really

[weary flame]

Then it's possible it's Asus related

And it's always a good idea to check

[weary flame]

@unique totem

I assume you're on W11?

[unique totem]

yes

[weary flame]

Then it's Windows

[unique totem]

then my problem solved!

[green chasm]

is it possible to not get a hefty bottleneck using 7900xtx and a 11700k? 1440p (i got a good deal on a 7900xtx)

[noble oak]

bottlenecks are hard to avoid, the reccomended card for an 11700k is like a 3090

im running a 1050 ti and an 11700k lmao

[crimson scroll]

it really depends on what kind of applications you're using

but it's not that big of a deal if you already have the parts

[weary flame]

^^

Just saying "this card is recommended for this CPU" is not really covering it

Most games run heavier on the GPU and still scale with heavier things

And then you've other games heavier on CPU etc

There are bottlenecks you can avoid that seem somewhat obvious, like a 10400 with a 7900XTX, that doesn't make much sense

But the 11700 with a 7900XTX should be fine, you won't get everything out of your GPU, but that's impossible anyway unless you've a task/game that can fully use your GPU, which is rare

[brave ravine]

^ this. Some games are just CPU heavy and won't really stress your GPU, so it's a moot question without knowing what you will use it for. It's fine, don't worry about it, especially if you got a good deal on the GPU 🙂

[green chasm]

Already got 3080ti

[green chasm]

gaming mostly apex legends at the moment

guess i could upgrade cpu within same socket as i recently got this pc.

12900k should be of the same socket i believe

[brave ravine]

Apex is more GPU Heavy afaik

sec I reply

[green chasm]

Ye nvm actually the card just got more expensive

Gonna wait till a new card hits the auction

[brave ravine]

sorry had a teams call. so yeah, for now I think just wait and see what the new gen brings, we are probably seeing a 13th gen refresh in the autumn, some new GPUs probably as well

since you have 3080ti and 11700k, I think you are good for now 🙂

[green chasm]

Yeah, but this site has sick prices all brand new un used🤣

Its an auction site for companys that gone bankrupt

[brave ravine]

lemme guess, US only? 😄

[weary flame]

It's not, 12th gen is 1700

I don't really think you need an upgrade
Apex is actually quite CPU heavy, not so much GPU

at least not to the same degree

[green chasm]

i mean i9 11900k my bad

im gonna wait next year and go amd instead tbh

[weary flame]

Yes, that's fine!

Oh, yeah, fait

Fair

I honestly somewhat recommend them over Intel rn

For a multitude of reasons, tbh

[green chasm]

nvidia and intel are to gready

greedy

2700 for a 4090 and 1300 for a 7900xtx

[weary flame]

Intel is doing stupid on it's CPU's
The GPU's so far are pretty much the thing I mostly like about em

[brave ravine]

I agree with you, but tbh for general purpose AMD is not really rocking it right now, things will likely get better with better firmware/software, but the new processors are still mostly worse than 13900k, and about the same price, perhaps beating it at gaming, or possibly some very specific calculations/programs, that are actually making use of those threads

I truly am rooting for AMD though, was seriously contemplating going with the X3D line, GPU sadly is far far away from Nvidia

[brave ravine]

2700 what, Australian dollars?

also yeah, 4090 is about 40% better at most things if not playing in 1080 exclusively 🙂

[brave ravine]

I am interested, if you are willing to talk about it

[weary flame]

What do you mean?
For CPU's, they're nearly 1:1 in stock performance
While being more efficient too

Hell, the 13900k is so sh*t it bottlenecks itself because how much heat it generates

That's a massive design failure

And even then, it barely is better in most things compared to the 7950X, with the only thing it does more than marginally better is workloads where cores, not threads, are more important

The thing holding AMD back this generation is pretty much the price of their boards

Oh, one good thing about Intel, they have their 100 lineup which I really wish AMD had an equivilant for

[brave ravine]

AIO that handles it is 100-130 eur, so not really a problem tbh, stock coolers are what, 50-70 eur on air

[weary flame]

Nope

Not at all

[brave ravine]

I have 13900k running on 40-50 degrees with a 130 EUR AIO 🙂

[weary flame]

Linus needed an industrial watercooler to clear the bottleneck

This is after they made a custom loop for it

[brave ravine]

with 100% usage its at 80

that is stress testing

[weary flame]

That was a regular workload

[brave ravine]

and I could shave off some degrees with better thermal paste applying and moving the vents

[weary flame]

And it's still just a mess with how Intel is appreaching generations so far

[brave ravine]

the problem is, some motherboards supply too much power and it doesnt stop using it, if I didnt lock it in bios it went to 370W and then yeah, I couldn't cool it

if you leave it in bios at adaptive setting then it just eats as much as it wants in a stress test, I got capped at 100 degrees when the AIO was at capacity

[weary flame]

So, you do realise the reason it cools that well
Is because you lock, the one thing the k SKU is meant for

It's not meant to be locked like that

[brave ravine]

I lock it at the wattage Intel specs it at 🙂

it's meant like that

[weary flame]

It's not

If it was
It wouldn't go over it

[brave ravine]

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/230496/intel-core-i913900k-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz.html

[weary flame]

Even k SKUs have a cap on power draw, thermals, clocks etc

[brave ravine]

what is this, then?

this is a motherboard issue, not a processor, imho

[weary flame]

No

It is a processor one

The processor, consistently, can take over 300W on any motherboard, given it's a Z series

Which

mind you

Is on direction of Intel

Intel gives the specs of how these chips should run
The actual bios is written by the boadmakers, but they use guidelines of how to run these chips

[weary flame]

Otherwise it's weird it just now was a whole thing that AMD had to make it clearer to board partners of limitations on CPU's

These CPU's can consistently, for a longer than 10ms duration, take more than 300W

And even if it was a board thing, it's weird they allow 50W more

On basically every board

[brave ravine]

they can probably take 400W as well, it's called overclocking

but with liquid nitrogen then

[weary flame]

Okay, can we go back

To where you locked your board down

On a K series?

Even tho Intel has specifications to where these can run without an actual OC put on it?

Unlocked does not equal OC
And these chips can do these things unlocked, but not OC'd

[brave ravine]

what is this, then, if not intel spec for max wattage?

[weary flame]

besides being a lie since whenever these are promoted, rarely being true, AMD is a bigger contributor in this

Just, not true, even if all motherboard vendors decided to just allow these chips to take over 250W for extended amounts of time, I genuinely doubt Intel wouldn't say something about it
Even tho they have been criticised for this massive power consumption since 12th gen

You bought a k series chip and you locked it down, besides going against the point of the K on the chip, you're also saying that Intel actually doesn't have any control over the board partners making boards for them

50W

Is a lot

That is going behind "board partners changed things"

[brave ravine]

Strawman argument and ignoring the question, ok 🙂 take care!

[weary flame]

What is the strawman?

Please, enlighten me

[weak fractal]

hello im thinking of getting this pc case but im not sure what gpu or motherboard can fit in it can anyone help me out please?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08C7BGV3D/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=AUWMZRMCN1SVB&psc=1

[weary flame]

what GPU and board

[fast oak]

Hi, I'm considering buying this Alienware Laptop. I know, it's a laptop ✋ Anyway, I wanted to know if the price was right for the specs? Currently I'm having to use a work laptop with a horrendous GPU, so this would be quite the upgrade.

[dim nimbus]

@fast oak looks about right to me

[fast oak]

Alright,thanks.

I think my speakers have just given out on this laptop. It's been repaired once. I've been through about 4 of this model of Dell. Same issue almost every time.

[dim nimbus]

my pc is a little more expensive w lower specs lol

[fast oak]

Oh lmao

[dim nimbus]

well cos it's a pc there's fans and stuff

[fast oak]

Yeah, yeah.

[dim nimbus]

do u need speakers

[fast oak]

well yeah

This laptop's about 10 weeks old.

Had to be repaired already.

[dim nimbus]

oh

rip

[fast oak]

ong

Slightly nervous to tell my father 💀

[dim nimbus]

i mean how do speakers get broken

[fast oak]

I don't even know

Chassis bending and something breaking?

[dim nimbus]

ikr!! i literally prick my phone speakers to clean it off

[fast oak]

I treat this laptop with so much care, I don't get it

[dim nimbus]

should be covered my warranty

[fast oak]

Criss averted.

Had to turn Sonar off and on again.

[nocturne folio]

🤦‍♂️ lmaooo

Fair play tho

[fast oak]

It got me so scared that I'd broken my speakers lmao.

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil hey uh, this is getting a tad repetitive, sorry for the ping, I hope you're doing well, but people are happening with this stuff

[pulsar fossil]

Thanks and no worries about the ping :)
I'm doing well thanks, I hope you are as well

[weary flame]

I am doing okay too, life is carrying on, and as such so am I

[pulsar fossil]

Sorry, missed your message. But great to hear that you are doing okay :)

[weary flame]

Dw about it, you're busy!

[normal osprey]

Hi there,
I would like to ask about the most comfortable headset for gaming, I have sony M4 but my ears are getting hot

[willow plover]

maybe Razer Blackshark v2?

[tawdry osprey]

Whats better

Lian Li O11 Dynamic

Or NZXT H9Elite?

For a 4080

Full white build?

[willow plover]

maybe NZXT H9Elite

[weary flame]

The H9 has not a lot of space iirc

Epecially if you have the accomedate for the plug etc

Plus I prefer the North or Meshify more

I'd say go with a big enough sized 011

Thing the O11 Dynamic Evo should be good

[crystal harbor]

Sad

[proud falcon]

can someone help explain to me if NVMe, PCIe, and .m2 SSDs have any key differences? they all look like they can be plugged into the same exact port in the same exact way which confuses me

[zinc harbor]

is that real ?

[crimson scroll]

m.2 is a form standard, you can have different lengths and keys within m.2

nvme and sata are protocols for transferring data, you can have sata m.2 ssds and nvme m.2 ssds

[proud falcon]

oh ok thanks

[crimson scroll]

and then there are some pcie ssds but they go into the pcie slot, not the m.2

they're also more expensive and not necessary for most people

but they can utilize pcie lanes more easily

[proud falcon]

I just got a new PC from a relative and it seems like most of the m.2 slots are covered by the GPU so I was thinking of an external ssd since the wires are set up for it already

[crimson scroll]

you can take out the gpu and put in the ssds

[proud falcon]

I don't know what they're called the larger ones that don't connect to the mobo

yeah I just don't wanna break something

[orchid salmon]

Hello, I built a pc with these components.

Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI
Processor: Intel core i5 12900kf
Ram: x2 32gb Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5 RAM
SSD: Samsung SSD 980 1TB NVMe M.2 MZ-V8V1T0BW SSD Drive
Power Supply: Corsair Power Supply 550W 80Plus Bronze CV550
Cabinet: Antec DF700 Flux
Graphics card: RTX 3070ti

Do you recommend another m.2?

[crimson scroll]

is your current ssd storage enough for your needs?

[crystal harbor]

yes how sad

[weary flame]

Most iirc are just NVMe ones but with the data sent over a full slot
They are more expensive but so far, not that much?
I thinkl the reason they are is more because you have, generally 4 M.2 slots you've to put on the board

[weary flame]

I suggest a larger PSU, 550W is fairly little for a 3070ti
Further, do you need an Nvidia card for a specific reason?
And lastly, what's the speed of the DDR?

also it's an i9-12900k, i5 is a lot lower

[lavish rune]

you do not need i9 12900k with a 3070 ti i believe its an i5 but you just put 12900 instead of 12600.
psu is too low if the pc uses 500-550 watts then the psu lifespan will shorten and i recommend getting a gold psu. Dont cheap out on the psu it can destroy your whole system.

[gloomy jay]

i have pc the core is i7 6700k and gtx 980ti what do i change

[weary flame]

You can upgrade to a 7th gen Intel CPU, but I suggest upgrading the GPU

[prime spear]

I would upgrade to the 4090

[gloomy jay]

4090 is expensive

[signal yoke]

used 3080 is perfect rn

[signal yoke]

either the new 4060 or 3060ti would prob suffice to run anyhting new at 1080p with ur slightly old i7

[crimson scroll]

Figure out the size of your motherboard

Look up the case and what motherboard sizes it supports

Most will use a standard naming scheme

So if a case claims to support atx size boards then any atx board should fit

[rancid wolf]

Hey what specs can run games like doom eternals, ready or not, call of duty, and car games at 2k res high settings at min 120 fps? (at a normal price not over 1500$ (no used things cuz i cant find used tech in my country at a sane price)

cuz now i got a gaming laptop thats 4 years old and speards heat at 85+ degrees Celsius and runs warzone at graphic where i can count the pixels with one hand at 40 fps

[weary flame]

What's the pricing tho?
For which country?

Because you cannot convert the currency 1:1, as in a lot of countries parts are more expensive

[rancid wolf]

If you mean budget so between 1250-1500, and country Israel

[weary flame]

Israeli New Shekel?

Like the budget in that?

[rancid wolf]

Budget in dollars

Israeli new shekel is the currency in my country

[weary flame]

I know, hence I ask

Because from what I know from helping Israeli friends, the price is more expensive than a 1:1

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/89dnW4

This is about 1.5k USD

Give or take

You can scale the SSD to a 1TB one if you want to save money, and the cooler too

[rancid wolf]

Thank you🙏

[azure crane]

is this pc alright https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rDVn3y

[rancid wolf]

Thanks for the help I gotta check the Nvidia equivalent for it to really understand 😂

[olive wagon]

nvidia on top

[weary flame]

Uh, about a 3070? Maybe a 3060ti

I forgot the exact

But rn it's around that

[weary flame]

God, that's awfully balanced

[azure crane]

alr

[weary flame]

I've an ~2k build that's really good for gaming

You can add monitors etc to it

[azure crane]

can you send the link

[weary flame]

Also, why 2 144Hz monitors and one giant 4k60?

If the 1440p ones are secondaries, you can go power spec

[azure crane]

yes 2 for vertical

[weary flame]

Lower spec*

144 is just, a bit much

[azure crane]

ik

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DZmP2m

You can change the GPU to something higher end, 4080 or 4090, idrc

[azure crane]

yea

[weary flame]

If you go with Radeon, you might have to upgrade PSU

[azure crane]

i prefer radeon

[weary flame]

And I recommend that, if you don't go full highest spec, to go with the 7900xtx

The xt has some issues

But just see

[azure crane]

oh

ok thanks

[weary flame]

The rest should be really solid

Like, CPU etc

Case too, I really like it

[azure crane]

thanks

[weary flame]

If you've questions
Just ping me

[rancid wolf]

thanks for the help, i already got ram and ssd so thats covered and ill look into the amd pc and the nvidia pc thanks again for the help

[reef temple]

what are some good moniter stands for giant moniters

mini tv sized

maybe a tiny bit smaller but like 40-50 inch

[silk inlet]

Im a little new with building a new pc, could someone tell me if im missing anything?

[stark violet]

If you are planning on gaming, that cpu is a little over kill for that gpu, If you are going to stick with that cpu, get an X570 motherboard instead. If your monitor is DVI only then it is probably a little older, having a decent rig like that will not be the best experience on a low end screen, save some money on the build and invest in a good monitor 🙂

Otherwise you have every component you need to build a pc in that picture

[silk inlet]

This X570 motherboard?

[stark violet]

Asus's TUF line is not a bad choice 🙂 I would avoid ASRocks last generation stuff. But their AM5 boards are looking much better

[silk inlet]

Roger

Would a ryzen 7 5700X be over kill for the gpu? I plan on playing cpu intensive games

[stark violet]

Nah 5700X should be a sweet spot. Ironically the best cpu would be a 5800X3D in all honesty... This video highlights the 5700X 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr5V1lgctYw

[silk inlet]

Okay cool, im ordering the parts on the 20th, thank you for helping me pick

[stark violet]

I like to try and be budget friendly with others builds... if the 5800X fits in your budget then go for it, but the money would be better spent on a 5800X3D or better yet, save some $$$ and get a 5700X. Note that if you get a 5800X/5800X3D then you might want to consider upgrading the GPU in the future 🙂

[stark violet]

No stress, happy to help

[silk inlet]

yeah i was trying to keep the build under 1200 and it fits right under ❤️

[weary flame]

What's the budget you have btw?

I've a couple of builds stached away on some price points

[silk inlet]

around £900-£1150

[weary flame]

Btw, small note, there is little reason to go with an X570 board for AMD, unless you need more IO etc

[weary flame]

Okay, lemme see

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/BwL2gb @silk inlet

[stark violet]

Oh I see, I was under the impression that the chipset was slightly better for performance

[weary flame]

The 6700XT is also a lot better than the 3060, and it's cheaper

[stark violet]

That is a solid build

[weary flame]

The chipset is better, it has more function, but most people won't use them
You use them for things like, "I need a lot of IO" or "I need this feature that's not commonly used, and as such put on X series boards"

Intel is more scummy in this as you need Z series to get the unlocked actually unlocked

[weary flame]

Thanks, i've a couple of builds, currently one just under 2k, one at ~1.5k and this one is the 1.5k modified

Generally I only suggest the 5800X3D if you have a Zen 4 board already
Otherwise AM5 is also possible, but the 5800X3D is really good for gaming so eh

Reminds me to make an 13100 build

[silk inlet]

HM how well is it in Virtual reality?

[weary flame]

Neithere are honestly too great

With how FPS etc work

They'll be okay

[celest harness]

Do you have any usb dropout issues? Some B550 boards when used with a 5xxx ryzen are plaged by it.

[weary flame]

Nope

And I cannot say whihc do or don't

So far I know is that, while it's an uncommon issue, it still happens and depends on the board you get

I cannot account for revisions

[celest harness]

Maybe a bit more storage, 1TB will be filled up pretty fast.
Otherwise, just make sure the ram you buy is listed on the QVL of your motherboard. Older Ryzen had some RAM compatibility issues, especially with Corsair so sticking with what has been tested on the motherboard is generally a good idea.

[silk inlet]

yeah I know I got about 2.7TB of storage already spare so i dont need to get anymore

[celest harness]

I had very rare disconnect, maybe once every few days with my 3900X and my gigabyte X570i aorus, but one of my friend with a 5600x and an asus B550 (i dont remember the exact model) will have usb dropouts every few minutes. I had to make him buy a pcie usb extension card

[weary flame]

yeah, that's probably that specific board or just that revision issue

[silk inlet]

what does QVL mean?

[weary flame]

Iirc, most issues have been fixed on newer revision boards

[weary flame]

Basically it talks about compatiablity

Are you still going with the one I suggesteD?

If so I can look, because I completely forgot tht with the rise of AM5

[silk inlet]

Nah im sticking with the one i got the B550 gaming pluss and the am4 cpu

[weary flame]

...?

[silk inlet]

my original build

[weary flame]

I'm talking about this one

Ah

Why, if I miht wonder?

[silk inlet]

Im a little bit biased towards nividia and the budget dropped due to the rent being raised -_-

[weary flame]

Ah

To how much?

And otherwise, you can swap the GPU, they're fairly closely priced

[silk inlet]

to about 1000

i most likely wil swap the gpu

[weary flame]

Eh

The 3050 is a lot worse

Here

If you drop the SSD you're at almost exactly 1k

[sonic meadow]

@everyone

[weary flame]

Congrats

Anyway

I genuinely do recommend the 5800X3D unless you're really on a budget

[silk inlet]

THanks!

I’m looking for a pre built pc tight budget and I am a beginner

[silk inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/noted-gif-20569892

[weary flame]

This will, by far, be a better PC

mostly because G sku's rather hamper performance anyway, and X series boards on AMD are redundant unless you need a specific feature

[sonic meadow]

Hey @weary flame

I’m new here

And I’m looking for a pre built pc tight budget and I am a beginner

Where do I start looking

[weary flame]

no idea

I'm not wellversed in that

I think GN has some "budget" one

[sonic meadow]

Gn?

[weary flame]

But the lowest "budget" one I have is ~900 and is not a prebuilt

[weary flame]

Gamers Nexus

[sonic meadow]

I’ll look

Thank you!

Is Gn a safe website

[weary flame]

It's a youtube channel

[digital willow]

whats the catch?

[plucky magnet]

What is a the best mini or tkl keyboard for gaming under $110

[pulsar hawk]

Depends on the airflow of the case and PSU wattage and tierlist

[weary flame]

Need more info to say

[digital willow]

With
Windows 10 Pro
Be quiet! Pure rock processor cooling
NVME M.2 SSD 1TB

[weary flame]

I can't say anything
Seems like a good build

[olive wagon]

I use lenovo legion 5 💪

[limpid nova]

if I build a new pc but put my current ssd in it will it have all the stuff. and if so will have have to reactivate windows

[weary flame]

It depends

Sometiems you do, sometims you don't

You should be able to just carry it over

Linus did a video on it some time ago

[limpid nova]

ok, thanks

[ruby sedge]

sus

[jagged ibex]

I have a i7-11700k and a 1660ti. would a 850w psu be too much

[gentle vigil]

no such thing as too much wattage for a psu, its always good to have the headroom for future upgrades

[bitter void]

has someone any tips for me, my fortnite has already crashed 7 times today, i did not change any settings or something, all i did was download an update today around noon, i have verified the game, checked my graphic card update, idk what to do, dm me

8th time

[weary flame]

Which update?

[olive wagon]

whats the best cpu (not budget wise, in general)

[weary flame]

AMD EPYC™ 9754S

[olive wagon]

thx

where do i find it

ik i said not budget wise but is it under $1000

[weary flame]

God no

You asked most expensive

That ones 10.2k

[olive wagon]

oh

is there any good ones under 1000

?

[weary flame]

There are a lot under 1k

[olive wagon]

can you reccomend mre

one

?

[weary flame]

There is the 13900KS
But you'll have to splurge out a lot to properly cool it
The 7950X is really close to it
IF you want the fastest gaming, however
7800X3D

That's it

7800X3D is really it for gaming rn

[olive wagon]

ill look into 78000x3d

ryen 7?

[weary flame]

It's less than half of 1K

~450USD

[olive wagon]

yah

[weary flame]

400-450

[olive wagon]

439 on amazon

[weary flame]

You don't have to go with an X670, just a B650

Should do it

I do suggest to not go with an Asus board

[olive wagon]

does it go well with a asus 4070ti

[weary flame]

It goes very well with it

It's literally the top end gaming processor, it'll uplift practically any "recent" GPU to perform better

[olive wagon]

wait so do u have to use a graphics card if u have a gpu

if not then is the "VIPERA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition Graphic Card" better then the other one

[weary flame]

Not really, the 7800X3D has an iGPU, but you might as well use a dGPU

Wait

So, the 7800X3D has an iGPU, but the CPU part uplifts the performance of the GPU

It uses the GPU

[olive wagon]

so a graphics card is useless?

[weary flame]

No?

It's useful

The CPU uplifts the performance of the GPU

[olive wagon]

wait but arent gpu and graphics card different things

[weary flame]

No?

They are the same

[olive wagon]

ohh

do u reccomend 4090 or 4070 then

[weary flame]

do you have a GPU yet?

[olive wagon]

i didnt get anything yet lol im just looking to buy a whole pc

[weary flame]

What is your budget?

[olive wagon]

5000ish maybe more

maybe a lot less

[jagged ibex]

Ok thanks

[noble oak]

best gpu to pair with i7 11700k?

currently running 1050 ti

[cloud roost]

need tips for a budget build.. mostly just to play CS2 and maybe Warzone. i know nothing 😒

just wanna be able to play CS2 at 150+ fps.. i'd be happy as long as I can get consistent 70+ fps on more intensive games.

[weary flame]

What's your budget?

[weary flame]

And what's your budget?

It depends on those things

I can give some builds in USD, but I'll have to look tomorrow for local pricing

[cloud roost]

around $1k @weary flame

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pk9Ptn

[cloud roost]

thanks! much better card choice then i was looking at.. @weary flame

how much of a difference would it make if i went with ryzen 5?

[cloud roost]

saw a similar build for $800 with the 6750 XT 12GB and Ryzen 5 5600.

[weary flame]

Well, besides me not completely trusting that pricepoint for that
The 5800X3D should help a lot with boosting the GPU's performance

[cloud roost]

any reason to go with the Ryzen 7 over the i3-13100f or similar? benchmarks are almost identical and intel is half the price with faster single core. @weary flame

[weary flame]

God no

They're not similar

If you use userbenchmark

Just go away

The 5800X3D is just that much better for gaming

[cloud roost]

then i can use the extra money to upgrade the GPU to 10GB XFX RX 6700 3x OC

haha ok

[weary flame]

Genuinely not suggested

The boost you can get in gaming with the 5800X3D could be close to getting that GPU
Ofc it won't extend to VRAM, but that's another issue

[olive wagon]

can anyone help me make a pc, my budget is 30k

my question is what can i do with a budget of around 230 euros?

[olive wagon]

10k hz pls

[cobalt hill]

the best thing to do with ~230 euros is save

[weary flame]

230
Well, the 7600 is at sale at 250
Otherwise get an A750/770

[cinder grotto]

30K?!!!!

[gleaming garnet]

Bro just has 30k hanging around lol

[pulsar fossil]

Doesn't everyone have that?

[olive wagon]

yes bro for adopt and raise a child

[olive wagon]

u dont???

[merry sail]

Save up your cash. You'll really want a BIG upgrade from those stats. Otherwise you won't get the upgrade you really want.

Also, why AM4?

[somber parcel]

No no I only want A mainboard

[noble oak]

rrx 6500 xt

or a 3060 nearly

[slim yew]

intel core i7-9700k + gtx 1060 6gb? its good? or too weak graphic?

[fair island]

Guys I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, I will list my current specs since I don't wanna buy a card that my system will bottleneck. Also my main reason for upgrading is because I want to game and edit in 4k 60fps

MB: Asus Prime x370 pro
Ram: Fury 64gb @ 3200mhz
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x
GPU: RTX 2060 6gb

Can anyone recommend a GPU that will be good for 60fps 4k native (no dlss or any upscaling)

Not fussed what manufacturer you choose as long as I can game at 4k and also edit in 4k with premiere

[weary burrow]

it all boils to what is your budget @fair island

[fair island]

Erm I'd say around £500 I don't mind second hand either @weary burrow

[noble oak]

You can get a 4070 for 600£

[weary flame]

6800xt is just in that price range
16gb of VRAM, it's quite good

[weary flame]

You're getting it new?

[slim yew]

i have gtx 1060 6 gb and i need buy cpu or just buy new gpu idk my cpu is bad and i need better but idk thtat new cpu will balance with gtx 1060/I want to buy a new processor but I don't know if this processor will not be too good for my graphics card

[weary flame]

So this is what you have right now?

What is your budget?

[slim yew]

275usd (1200pln in my country)

now i have intel i7-4770

and i want to upgrade it

[sturdy lantern]

I am factory resetting my pc and the screen is flashing and making werd stuff what culd this be

[gloomy iron]

can i please get help. every time i go into sonar cant unhear my self please

help

[weary flame]

Radeon 6700xt should be a good deal around that price iirc

But idk in local currency if that's still around that

Also that intel part is worse than the 9700k, can guarantee that

[noble oak]

intel arc gpu isnt great for now

[idle wolf]

I would use it just for gamming and price is around $600

[heady otter]

steel series sonar is the best audio mixer i've used and it's free, i reccomend you check it out

[idle wolf]

@weary flame i would use it mostly for minecraft but some other games

[weary flame]

Idk what to suggest

A 5600G or a 5800G with an okay board and PSU?

Oh, and NVMe ig

[noble oak]

Is this yours?

[harsh wedge]

Does that sound like a bad idea ??

[noble oak]

No I mean isn't the tuf more expensive?

Who is switching that for a founder

[harsh wedge]

Ooo I have two PCs

The asus tuf is in the other PC

[noble oak]

Ahhh

[formal arch]

Does anyone know if the ryzen 5 1600 CPU would be fine with the Rx 6700 XT? Im planning on upgrading my GPU because it's bottlenecking my CPU. I checked a bottleneck calculator and it says there'll be a 0.8% bottleneck but I feel like it's not very accurate

[stray plover]

What GPU are you currently using? I had a 6600xt paired with an Ryzen 5. Worked well enough and seemed to compliment eachother rather well. Although my zen chip was a more recent 5600x... But yes....it seems that a 6700 is from 3 generations after your chip came out. i mean its not far fetched to temporarily pair them together but your suspicions may be correct in that the bottleneck may be greater, in fact.

greater than just 1%

[formal arch]

My current gpu is a sapphire Radeon RX 570. I was planning on upgrading my GPU and CPU but then I needed to upgrade my motherboard for compatibility reasons, then my PSU and eventually I needed to make another PC and sell my current one because all my current parts are compatible with pcie 3. I watched a few videos and there doesn't seem to be too much difference in performance with the games I play. (Between pcie 3 and pcie 4). So In the end my plan was to buy the GPU I wanted and see if it would work well with my current PC setup

[stray plover]

It ultimately comes down to the game(s) your looking to play. Games like CSGO, Overwatch 2, and many popular e-sports titles are still heavily "CPU Bound/Intensive" meaning that for instance you upgrading your GPU vs CPU may not bring as much of a difference in FPS or input latency...depending on the game you play you may yield much better results with a more recent CPU than GPU, and save on it as well. As far as i can remember your chipset is one of the first AM4's if i am not mistaken, and now since AMD is on their next chipset, yes you are correct upgrading your CPU to the most recent generation would require a new motherboard and possibly DDR5 ram and so forth.

what i am suggesting is that you could get a Zen 2, Zen 3 R7 and pair it on your same motherboard and same with your gpu. If you upgrade your GPU alone and no motherboard or chip, you will still not be able to fully utilize your GPU because your motherboard is not of the x570 line....so essentially that is support for "Above 4G Encoding" and SAM (Smart Access Memory) - some of the most powerful and newest features of AMD's recent GPU line

So if i were in your shoes - X570 Mobo (MSI Tomahawk) + 3600 or 5600 R5 + a 6000 series GPU paired with 3600 mhz DDR4 would be the price to performance sweet spot for you sir. atleast in 2023

correction, tomahawk may not be available as an x570. in that case look at something affordable in Gigabyte

[formal arch]

Ok thanks!

[weary flame]

It works
But I'd upgrade
Dependant on your budget and the board you have you can get far
Otherwise, you can find a good, but cheap B560 and the 5800X3D

And uh, it's more your CPU that's bottlenecking the 6700xt

[formal arch]

I think i misworded it, I meant my current gpu is bottlenecking my cpu

[weary flame]

It's not

It just

Not

A 1600 is bottlenecking the 6700xt more than the 6700xt is bottlenecking the 1600

[hybrid condor]

Can someone help???

[noble oak]

If you buy a 6700xt you need a new CPU

Or the fps would be the same or little higher

Buy a 5600x or a 5800x3d if you can

[formal arch]

i think you misunderstand me

i meant my current gpu

[weary flame]

I don't

It's just not bottlenecking

[weary flame]

Just get a new CPU

It's gonna help everything

A 5800X3D is pretty much bang for buck if you can get it in your board, otherwise it's a newer, ~100 bucks B560

[formal arch]

its a little overbudget

is there a cheaper alternative?

[weary flame]

5600

[noble oak]

It's 300€ on amazon

So more likely 350 dollars

[formal arch]

ah thanks much cheaper

[noble oak]

No problem

[noble oak]

Tell me if you need more help

[weary flame]

I think that's AUD, not USD

Like what they sent

The one they sent it's not from amazon

[digital willow]

Are any of these good? If yes then which one is better for the price?

[nova pebble]

i would have gone for the blue ryzen one

i prefer intel, but i think the 4070 would be getting bottlenecked because off the i5

[weary flame]

3rd I'd say

The first is enticing, except that 11th gen isn't that good
And the 4070ti bundled with it for that price is a bit suspicious

Also
The 11400 just lacks in everything compared to the 5800x

Unless you do something like, idk, Adobe

This site i safe but thank you very much!

But that's dedicated video editing kinda stuff

[noble oak]

yeah but he told me he prefers nvidia

6700xt would be coool

there is even 6750xt for 415

not bad

[weary flame]

I still suggest the 6700xt over the 3060

Because just

Better deal

Near same price

[noble oak]

6750xt

[weary flame]

12GB of VRAM

[noble oak]

yeah apart of that

@shut pagoda

for 30 euros more you get 6750xt

[weary flame]

6700 is close to that performance too

[noble oak]

i have 6700

[weary flame]

So it solely depends on budget

[noble oak]

yeah

[weary flame]

Just get whatever fits, if the 6750xt fits
And you can get it
It's so much better

At least than the 3060

[noble oak]

yep

what's your gpu?

[weary flame]

If you can't get much more than a 3060, just get the 6700xt

It's almost the same price, and over 3070 levels

[noble oak]

yeah it's more like a 3070ti

plus you can oc it

[weary flame]

3070, second hand, ~300 bucks, works like a charm

[noble oak]

nice

Make sure that the output on the volume control is set to the right thing, it should be in the drop-down box in the bottom right of your screen.

Just picked up some Arctis Nova 9's and am actually really liking the Sonar software (i seem to be in the minority though) I was wondering if anyone has advice or an example of mixing a physical mixer or interface with sonar? ultimately, if I could have sonar open but minimized and control game, media, chat levels with a fader or dial, that would be awesome! Hoping someone has done something similar or has an idea. thanks!

If you haven’t found a solution restart the PC

Then apply all settings

Then restart again

Make sure your headphones are connected when you change settings

Then turn them off when you restart

Hi guys after ubdate i can't hear whit my headset (SteelSeries Arctis Pro+ GameDAC)

Bevor ubdate was everything Okey

[lethal delta]

hey guys so i dont have the time with work to build a gaming pc anyone reccomend the best place to buy a bundle with monitor etc and reccomnd the one to get for good sysm please and t.i.a

[jovial juniper]

NZXT is good. kinda steep

HP OMEN makes a great machine, 800-1500 in price range

CLX Gaming also @lethal delta

u can maybe look for SWEET IT on facebook, he ships, hes built 4 for me so far. and very good prices

[weary flame]

I'd be careful with HP

Proprietary tech and bad airflow

[gilded glacier]

yeah from my experience, HP has been decent (I have this pc: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-25l-desktop-pc-gt12-1000a/2100404878/model/2100816072/product-info?sku=56L38EA) but not great. I feel like the specs are not as good as they could've been for the price I paid.
Also yeah the airflow is quite bad. And you have to clean it every month or so or else there's gonna be a noticeable difference in performance

and I actually came to this channel to ask this:

Can someone who knows stuff about specs and general gaming pc performance please look through my PC a bit and try to figure out why some games run really badly?

Like just vc for a bit and I'd screenshare.

Rival 650 connection problem (stuck in this color flashing loop and not connecting to PC), what should I do?
When I plug it into another computer, the wireless mouse works, but it does not see the wireless mouse on the computer I use on the desktop. I formatted the computer, but still not resolved. It's also very strange that it works on another computer and not on my computer. Would you help me with this topic? Thank you...

[gilded glacier]

First, obviously check if it's plugged in. If it is, and it's still just flashing, but not connecting, there is a "connect" button on the back of the mouse. And an ON/OFF feature right next to it.

[gilded glacier]

Try turning it off, plugging it out right after, turning it on, and plugging it back in, but into a different port.

[weary flame]

What are the specs?

[gilded glacier]

If none of that works, you can try putting your mouse in wired mode (by plugging the cable into the mouse), once again turning the mouse upside down, and powering it off by sliding this button

[wheat jasper]

unfortunately, it didn't happen and it didn't get fixed.

[gilded glacier]

Then unplugging the cable from the mouse, powering the mouse itself back on, and pressing "connect"

[wheat jasper]

Thank you very much Nao. But again, the problem is not solved, I want to show you exactly what it is because I've been dealing with it for days and I'm tired of it. Can you help me privately on discord, please?

[gilded glacier]

yeah sure.

[weary flame]

5700G

That's it

Not a bad APU

Just

Not great for gaming

low end will be amazing

Like low 1080p on games should be fine

[gilded glacier]

also my clock speed on my GPU is weird

really weird

[weary flame]

What is it?

Country you in?

And, do you have an AM4 board already

[gilded glacier]

it gets this low

this is base speed

and this is boosted speed

[weary flame]

That's normal

GPU's only boost frequency when needed

This is what CPU's do too

"base" speed doesn't mean it runs at that constantly however, like CPU's do

[gilded glacier]

so should I keep the "Perf level" at "boost", "current", or "base"?

[weary flame]

What it means is that "base" speed is what it will target while in use, while the "boost" speed is what it will max out to generally, or at least the preset says so

[weary flame]

Do you have any load on at the last screenshot?

[gilded glacier]

also idk if this helps with anything but here's the CPU panel

[weary flame]

Doesn't really matter

[gilded glacier]

if a rhythm game counts then yes but I'd say no

also I'm streaming on discord

[weary flame]

Okay

Anyway

Keep it on base

[gilded glacier]

also here it says my ram speed is 1865MHz

but here

it says it's 3467 (I overclocked it)

[weary flame]

That is normal

DDR is Double Data Rate

[gilded glacier]

Oh right..

So you're saying the main issue is my processor?

[weary flame]

No?

[gilded glacier]

oh?

[weary flame]

Nothing is the issue

[weary flame]

It didn't say you had a dGPU

[gilded glacier]

I have 2 monitors and the main one is 1440p so

[weary flame]

Whicxh games are running poorly?

[gilded glacier]

my games run at 1440p

[gilded glacier]

mainly CSGO and osu!

[weary flame]

Which FPS numbers you are getting?

[gilded glacier]

so in osu! I get about 500-600/960 (it might not seem like an issue. I didn't think it was either till I noticed it goes down to 300 while actually playing. and this game takes your monitor refresh rate x4 and that's your fps. any lower than 800 and there's a noticeable difference)

that's not too bad though. I can live with it lol

in csgo

on the other hand

I have a friend with almost the exact same specs as me and he gets about 400fps more than me.

I get like 200, with a few lag spikes that drag that down to 90.

also weirdly enough turning my graphics up or down doesn't change anything nearly.

[weary flame]

Sure they don't have a 5700 and not a 5700G?

and where is the cable plugged into?

The board or something else?

[gilded glacier]

yeah they don't. they have everything but the processor.

they have a 5800x3d

[weary flame]

That explains

The 5800X3D kinda really good

[gilded glacier]

not sure. how do I check that?

[weary flame]

Is it plugged into the motherboard or GPU?

[gilded glacier]

?

I don't understand

my monitor?

if you mean my monitor, it's plugged into my GPU

because I'm pretty sure my motherboard doesn't even have a monitor slot

[weary flame]

So

CSGO really likes high frequency chips

because you have an APU, it does not have as high of a frequency, as such giving lower performance

Further, the 5800X3D is an 8 core part which can boost higher and, iirc, the 3D V-chache works really well for CSGo, further boosting performance

[gilded glacier]

So do you think I should get that?

[weary flame]

Oh

The 5800X3D is a great chip

If you have the budget for it, get it

Do twist the cooler

Don't pull it straight out

[gilded glacier]

also.. is the size any different? will I have any issues with installing it?

[weary flame]

You loosen the screws of the cooler, twist it while it's still on the CPU and it should get out

[weary flame]

No, you can just put it in

[gilded glacier]

shouldn't be too hard to install a cpu.. right?

[weary flame]

Just be careful with the cooler

You twist it off, not pull it off

[gilded glacier]

yeah. I've learned my lesson with other stuff (not pc related but I broke some stuff because of wrong usage xd)

[weary flame]

Just saying

[gilded glacier]

also, here's something you might wanna look at:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/61700341

[weary flame]

No

Don't use that

That is a sin

[gilded glacier]

lol what?

[weary flame]

You loosen the screws of the cooler
Twist the cooler off, clean the bottom of the cooler and the top of the CPU (it should have CPU paste on it, generally it's grey)
Take out the CPU
Put in the 5800X3D and secure it
Put thermalpaste on the CPU
Cooler on it
Tighten cooler

[weary flame]

It's a great lie that should not be trusted at all

They really like Intel and Nvidia

Like

really

Anything that's AMD has a warning of AMD paying reviewers to paint it in a good light and that they're all lying

They're not even true in performance

Just, don't trust that site

In any metric

[gilded glacier]

Ok. Good to know.

[weary flame]

Figured it's good to tell

[gilded glacier]

can I add you?

@pulsar fossil

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[pulsar fossil]

Ty

[gilded glacier]

😄

[gilded glacier]

@weary flame yo a friend just told me that in his opinion, the R5 7600x is better than R7 5800x3d

And he's using that "userbenchmark" thingy and some youtube videos as proof but idfk.

[gilded glacier]

do you know anything about that one? @weary flame

[gilded glacier]

@pulsar fossil ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[pulsar fossil]

dang it

[weary flame]

The 7600X is not better in gaming

At all

The 5800X3D still outperforms it

And you will need a new motherboard etc, it's way cheaper for you to just get the 5800X3D

It's still really good

Sorry, was doing things
