[gilded glacier]

all good.

Alright, thanks! so can I add you?

does this happen often? or is it just today?

makes sense.

[pulsar fossil]

Seems like a lot more today

[weary flame]

It has become more prevelant last few days

[zealous saffron]

building new epic lovely pc

[crimson scroll]

User benchmark is a trash website and incredibly biased

Please don't use it

[weary flame]

Raichu backing me up!

Lesgooooo!

[old vector]

Which CPU coolers better the thermalright phantom spirit/ peerless assassin or Noctua NH-D15S?

[noble oak]

which cpu?

[old vector]

Ryzen 9 7950X3D

[noble oak]

hell nah

you need a 3 fan aio

noctua is 100 euros

with 100 you can get a better one liquid

[old vector]

Will that fit in this?

[noble oak]

Yessir

You gotta put it on top

[noble oak]

Dm me and we'll figure which

[old vector]

Can you give me some recommendations?

[noble oak]

Alr

[old vector]

Ok

[clear shuttle]

Waltah

[weary flame]

I'd go NH-D15 if you have the money

The 7950X3D doesn't run as hot as the 7950X

So you'"ll be more than fine

Plus the reliability and support from Noctua is quite great

[atomic yarrow]

Should I buy amd ryzen 5600x or intel core i5 13400F?

[weary flame]

What budget do you have and do you have one of the compatible boards?

[atomic yarrow]

I havent decided a budget and i dont have a board

[weary flame]

Then you need to give both to know what you should get

[atomic yarrow]

Wdym give both

[weary flame]

You need to give a budget to know what you can afford

because a CPU alone won't do much

[atomic yarrow]

About 1300 euro

[weary flame]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Znnz8r

[atomic yarrow]

I think i will buy amd ryzen 7 instead

[granite granite]

is this pc good https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6RzDbK

what do you mean

why

but there the same parts

im building it myself

[atomic yarrow]

Amd ryzen 7 5800X3D is too expensive, which other CPUs are good?

Is amd ryzen 7 5700x good?

Or amd ryzen 7 5800x?

[opaque gulch]

@atomic yarrowWhat is your budget for the PC you want to build?

[atomic yarrow]

About 1300 euro

[opaque gulch]

def go AMD cause they're a bit cheaper

Ryzen 7 5800x should be fine

just make sure you know what you're doing.Be sure to get the right motherboard that's compatible with that generation CPU

research every hardware part you plan on buying and read reviews

compare other online stores to see which one has the best deals,some could be having a discount sale on certain parts you're looking for

[atomic yarrow]

Is amd ryzen 5 7600x or amd ryzen 7 5800x better?

[weary flame]

I gave you a whole pc

Like every single part you would need

For that price

[polar monolith]

Yo! Gonna get a £400 bonus soon what do you think I should upgrade? And what shall I do with the old shit?

I’m really keen on direcx 12 and the whole lumen/nanite but idk what i can do with £400

I could also upgrade my cpu but would have to get a different motherboard with a new socket so idk what you you think?

[weary flame]

CPU

Dependant if you want Intel or AMD, you should be able to find a cheap combo

AMD is soon coming out with a 5300, which will have really good bang/buck boards available for it

Otherwise a 13100 with a decent B series board
Although those boards tend to be more expensive, and so far we see, the 5300 is overclockable with PBO

[weary flame]

Actually lemme look if I can find something more powerful soon

[polar monolith]

I’m happy with AMD as long as it works with Nvidia cards which I’m 99% sure they do. Il have a look at that chip when it comes out it’s sounds good! My CPU is definitely lacking and always at 100% so it would be nice to free up some power so good idea!

[weary flame]

I'm gonna look for a 7600 board combo

Are you in the US?

Wait

Nvm

UK

I'll look around

[polar monolith]

Yup UK!

And thanks! Iv had a look and I know a fair bid but when it comes to motherboards I’m clueless. I ideally want 2 M.2 slots unless there is a way to transfer things off my current SSD onto a bigger one in the future

[weary flame]

Sorry it took so long, do you have an ATX case?

If so

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xKw3Xy

This is sub 400

Really good combo

You might need to spend on the cooler

[leaden pelican]

I mean, DDR3 is as well kinda old now

[haughty vault]

What parts could i get with 400€ as a first time build

[weary flame]

A board an an APU if you want to game

Getting it with a dedicated GPU is unlikely

Ryzen 7000 with APU is apparently coming out soon, but not out yet

[polar monolith]

NP! And yeah!

[weary flame]

Then the link is good

[polar monolith]

I got a cooler that’s birlliant already on assuming it would fit

[polar monolith]

Ik! Ram is dirt cheap though

[weary flame]

You need to check if there are brackets you can use for AM5

DDR 5 isn't as much

[polar monolith]

Exactly!

[polar monolith]

Ah gotcha!

[polar monolith]

Brilliant thank you!

[weary flame]

Yeah, np

[weary flame]

Most PC's don't even have a mesh side panel....?

And you don't need to anyway

[weary flame]

What budget do you have?

[molten crag]

guys please i need help dm if you can its about the rgb fans

[marble thicket]

hey i need a 400 (CAD) - 600 (CAD) buget build

[weary flame]

Sorta

I still suggest to run PBO

[normal oyster]

Eh, I stick stock

Works great

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/6FbhP6

[mental eagle]

i need an opinion, should i upgrade from a 3070ti to a 6800xt or just keep the 3070ti

[fervent bane]

keep the 3070ti

i feel nvidia has better updates and softwares

[mental eagle]

got it

[polar monolith]

40 series or 3090

[weary flame]

Keep it
If you had a lower performing card
You could upgrade, but it's not useful in this case

Not to the same extent

What CPU do you have again?

So
You have no pc?

[weary flame]

Okay

[weary flame]

.

Here

I suggest a 5800X3D because gaming performance is a lot better overall

Also the motherboard will need to chance and AM5 boards haven't been the cheapest

[normal oyster]

depends on the lifetime expected of the system, and the A and B boards aren't too bad price wise

7800X3D has a big difference in performance on latest GPUs potentially, which while won't affect a midrange build today, if they are planning 5-6 years for PC use, a GPU upgrade or 2 would feel the difference without needing a whole new system

[weary flame]

They are
200+ for a decent one
And I don't suggest getting A if you want to game at all

And the 7800X3D doesn't properly fit into the budget

[normal oyster]

I didn't see the budget constraint

5800X3D is a great option either way

[weary flame]

Hence I suggested it

The platform won't get drastic new generational leaps
But AMD has proven they won't stop supporting it

And the boards are cheap

You get a really good B one for 100 bucks

[normal oyster]

ah, I was looking at a nice X670 for like 180, but for a budget build thats significant

[weary flame]

That X670 is probably lacking in a lot of features that a B series equivilant would have
Unless it's on sale

[normal oyster]

it was on a good sale, very nice gigabyte board

granted, I went overkill for my personal build (use it for work too), but budget building is TOUGH today either way

[gilded glacier]

hey guys.
would it be worth it to change my motherboard if I currently have a standard HP one?

[weary flame]

It depends

Why would you want to chnge it?

Also, check if they didn't put proprietary bs in there
Because OEM's like to do that

[prisma zenith]

when building a PC, why no keyboard/mouse/headset spec? 😄

that takes a lot of budget tbh

when someone says <X dollar is my budget>, does it normally exclude keyboard/mouse?

[weary flame]

That's a minority
Because if you don't hve it, why complain?

[weary flame]

There are people that have them
and generally, a decent keyboard + mouse can be found for under 100

[prisma zenith]

D

Gaming keyboard+mouse costs more than that

[weary flame]

A decent cheap one

[prisma zenith]

[agile bridge]

Can someone recommend me a pc under 900 dollars I got keyboard mouse and everything and monitor I just need the pc

[gilded glacier]

What for?

but yeah @weary flame is the best person you can ask about that (from my experience).

[weary flame]

Yes

One sec

I assume gaming?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MKWbNc

This should be around 900

The Intel card has become really solid

So don't worry about that

You can probably cheap out a bit on the board, if you want

[gilded glacier]

jesus christ u're fast

[weary flame]

No, I have a couple of presets

[gilded glacier]

Oh ok. Fair enough

[weary flame]

It's easier to keep some than remake them

[gilded glacier]

isn't the 6000mhz ram a bit overkill tho?

wait actually... it allows future upgrades ig

[weary flame]

Oh

It is

Mb

[gilded glacier]

lol

[weary flame]

I probably used some old

Like an old template

@agile bridge cheap out a bit on the ram, like 5600 if you don't hit under 900
Otherwise, the ram that's in there is really solid DDR5

[molten crag]

I need help my pc is running but no display

Dm if you can help

[weary flame]

Doesn't change the point
I didn't know you were referring to that case
And it, like I said, just doesn't matter

[weary flame]

It doesn't change much

[river bolt]

how much do you want to spend

[worthy kiln]

How do you know when to update your MOBO?

[weary flame]

Why would you upgrade your boeard?

The only reason you would change your board is when you need more IO
Or if you have a k series chip on Intel go to Z series

[daring bronze]

Things to remember, Motherboards are the foundation of your build. In some ways, the most important part. Think of it as the base of everything. I made the grave error of using n Asus X670E Crosshair Extreme in my system. I ignored 30+ years of building experience and brazenly brought the Primo flagship model—six months of troubleshooting and still problems. Who cares what it can do if it crashes unexpectedly at the most unpredictable time? It can run full tilt, at full workload, and crush it for hours or days, but then sit idling, go T's up and die, or in the middle of an intense game, crash at the worst time. No predictable pattern at all.
I've already RMA'd the board. So much money was wasted; buying a mobo is like buying a car. Never buy the first-year model or 1st generation of anything. Let someone else be the guinea pig.

[weary flame]

Precision Boost Overclock
It's an auto OC tool and quite solid

Won't be the same as a manual fine tuned OC, but it's better than nonr

[weary flame]

I'm fairly confident you just got a bad board
The only thing I've heard from Asus regarding AMD is the overvoltage and their awful help service

What's also possible is that your ram is clocked too high for your CPU, someone I know has had that happen

[burnt condor]

Anyone know if this is worth $970, as I’m looking for a pc that’s cheap and can pull some sim games (Truck sim, farming sim etc)

[low jolt]

Currency in dk?

[burnt condor]

Yup. It’s around 6299 dkk

[low jolt]

What's currency in dk

ah

[burnt condor]

It’s currently on sale though; 7499 dkk before

[low jolt]

ohh really

do you have komplett

[burnt condor]

What’s that?

[low jolt]

like the website

komplett.dk maybe?

[burnt condor]

Nope, I don’t. Haven’t even heard of it

[low jolt]

i know sweden and norway has

so i thought maybe denmark did too

wait u do

komplett.dk

[burnt condor]

We have one yea

[low jolt]

they do have good sales too

[weary flame]

Upgrade the board if possible

[burnt condor]

I’ll take a look at it, thanks

[weary flame]

And the cooler

[burnt condor]

Can I ask which part the “board” is? I have no knowledge of pc.

[weary flame]

motherboard

3rd one

[burnt condor]

Any you would recommend?

As well as a cooler

[weary flame]

A B series one

Cooler

Idk what you have

[burnt condor]

Any of these boards worth it?

[weary flame]

Both should be fine tbh

[hollow owl]

do u guys know a build good for valorant only 400-500 dollars?

[low jolt]

Buy used

[sweet cairn]

Premade or that you could build yourself

[weary flame]

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

[weary flame]

It's a higher tier?

And this also has a better CPU

Why won't you buy it...?

What XD

ASRock is solid too

I

Don't know why you don't just change the GPU out either

[idle wolf]

how do you get gifs? not on discord though

[dry jewel]

😄

[weary flame]

7800X3D is

The platform will get new CPU's

[calm pelican]

you ever had issues with your mic picking up audio from your headphones?

struggling with mine ik its wrong chat but no ones answering in the other one

[low jolt]

I don’t have problem with that, but I don’t use Steelseries headphones

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil it's been going on for a bit, think this goes overboard, no?

[low jolt]

I agree

[weary flame]

I'm not a guy, but go off....?

Yay, mysoginy

[pulsar fossil]

Thanks for the ping

[low jolt]

Thank you Lennart

[pulsar fossil]

Yw

Nothing of value was lost

[weary flame]

Thanks!

And yeah, this is for the better

[noble oak]

hey i need a new gaming laptop that will also function as a good school laptop anybody got any good suggestions?

[low jolt]

Hmmm what games are you playing

[noble oak]

mostly valorant and block ops 3

[idle wolf]



[buoyant thicket]

Acer Nitro

[weary escarp]

is the 5800x worth it? or should i just go for the 5600x

[weary flame]

It depends on your budget and if you have a board for it
If you have enough budget, just get the 5800X3D

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil just pinging to be sure this is seen

[pulsar fossil]

Ty

[daring bronze]

Thank you, the replacement board does the same thing. I downclocked everything, set manual voltages, and even set voltage ceiling limits. Even RMA'd the ram to gskill and cut back to 2 ram sticks. Right now, nearly everything has been replaced and that overvoltage issue is a much bigger problem than online really shows. The ceiling limits sitll fluctuate a little past, everything has to be set far enough below that 1.35 line that the fluctuation can't get close.

My AM4 platform was and still is rock solid but this AM5 build was a nightmare. I will be sticking with Gigabyte or MSI again next time. Have you seen some of the content creators videos about certain motherboards?

[daring bronze]

I didn't really want to get off topic. The point of my share was not to air frustration but to demonstrate importance of selecting a solid and well "reviewed" motherboard.

[weary flame]

But, does it work better?

[daring bronze]

It's better but still not perfect. Thank you.

[clear ridge]

do u guys know a build good for CSGO only 500-500 dollars?

[woven crypt]

the most you're gonna get for 500 dollars is integrated graphics (which you don't want tust me)

[left flame]

Clearly not

[woven crypt]

Forgot about Radeon gpus tbh

[left flame]

Why?

[woven crypt]

Cuz I'm a Nvidia fangirl

[left flame]

So that doesn't mean anything

Just go for AMD, Chaper for same performances

At least, if you don't need RayTracing

[woven crypt]

I just forgot radeons were cheaper

[woven crypt]

I go for nvidia cuz rtx and the drivers aren't a pain in the ass to install

[weary flame]

radeon drivers haven't been a pain in the ass since

Idk tbh

For a long time

[left flame]

Drivers for Radeon aren't pain too

[woven crypt]

Maybe my next build I'll do radeon idk

[left flame]

you have to question yourself "Does i need RayTracing?'
No -> Radeon
Yes -> RTX

what gpu's that i could partner up with the motherboard A320m a pro

[weary flame]

What's your CPU?

[cobalt thorn]

just ryzen 3 3200g

[weary flame]

What's your budget?

[cobalt thorn]

just under 120$

[weary flame]

Arc A380 is the best I can give you

[cobalt thorn]

can rx580/570 will do? also thanks for the recommendation

[weary flame]

A380 is sorta just better?

And keeps getting updates

Good driver updates

[cobalt thorn]

didn't know about a380 but yeah i'll hold on to it, thank you so much

What's a good budget gpu that has 2 display ports/I can have 2 screens connected to it?

[cinder grotto]

I think so

[idle wolf]

ok

[weary flame]

6600

[weary flame]

It's a bit overpriced

Especially with the G SKU CPU

[cinder grotto]

How much worse is a 6570?

[weary flame]

A what?

[cinder grotto]

SAPLOS Radeon HD 6570 Computer Graphics Card, 1G, GDDR3, 64 Bit, 2 x HDMI, Video Card, GPU for Desktop PC, PCI Express 2.0x16, 60W Low Power

Since I'm wanting a 2nd monitor but I need to upgrade so that I can have two HDMI ports

[cinder grotto]

So how much worse is this @weary flame?

[weary flame]

Oh a lot

[cinder grotto]

Damn

[weary flame]

Holy f*ck that's a HD card

I haven't seen those in ages

[cinder grotto]

I really want a budget gpu with 2 HDMI ports 🙃

Any the most I can spend is probably around £100

[weary flame]

You're not gonna find much

[cinder grotto]

Damn

[weary flame]

Unless second hand

[cinder grotto]

I found out my current gpu can do it

[woven crypt]

bleh

[cyan vault]

I used to run a HD6670 until 2020...

who would've thought that after that, I'd have an RX 480, and now, this.

[slow notch]

nice

my pc is a work in progress

[weary flame]

It's good
If possible, go with Ryzen 7000

[noble oak]

is a i712700f good wiht a 3070

[oblique oasis]

does someone knows how to change the rgb of the rtx 3070 ti ?

[pulsar fossil]

Doesn't that depend on which company you have it from? Asus/gigabyte etc

[weary flame]

Yeah
Get a k if you get a Z series board tho

[quasi peak]

Hello there guyss!! I'm looking to upgrade my GPU . I've a RTX 3070 with a i5 12600K.
I was looking for a 3080ti, 4070 ti or a 3090.
I play on 1080p 200HZ monitor.
Wich one u guys recommend ? TY !

[sour notch]

your setup isnt getting you 200fps @ 1080p?

[quasi peak]

Depends on the game and the graphics quality

[weary flame]

I don't think you really, would need anything....?

Otherwise, uh, 4070ti?
It won't have the back vram thing of the 3090

But you probably could get a better CPUand see more of an improvement

[rancid wolf]

anyone got a build for 1650 usd? idc about looks cuz it wont be in my pov it can be plain black, i dont want to pay extra for looks; more info: i play on 1440p and i will be using 2 monitors 1 for game 1 for spotify discord etc, and i play mostly fifa and single player games like doomE and evil west, and i also play vr games like vail and assota corsa (the car game idk how to spell it correctly); lmk if you need for info and i will tell you! thanks in advance ❤️

If im missing any info/parts let me know

[weary flame]

Try to get a 5800X3D if that's within budget, and a 6700xt

The 6700xt is, imo, more preferred
It has performance on par with the 3070, except RT which is still close, and it is not far from the price of a 3060 iirc

[mental adder]

how about PSU ? does cpu comes with kit? for me its pretty the same setup, but its GEN3 PCI i would recommend GEN4 for full performance. Still works fine. But idk if MB supports ryzen 7 tho.

[mental adder]

nvm it works

oh and dont bother with GEN3 thingy is just marketing i checked it has full support of pci 4

[mental adder]

its good value and beats 3060 in perofmance but life span is shorter :/

[weary flame]

What?

Life span

Is shorter?

[mental adder]

ye

[weary flame]

The lifespan will be the exact same if you get it new and take care of it

Gpu's don't decay

They're not food

[mental adder]

well under intense temps it can

[weary flame]

And those temps have to be in excess of 100°C

And even then they don't tend to decay

They tend to straight up die

[mental adder]

yes, but idk

[weary flame]

The lifespan of a card does not matter
What does is its performance

I'd rather take a card 3 years older that has better performance and still has support if it was the same price, if not cheaper

Just get a 6700xt

It's just a lot better

It's nearly the same age as the 3060, it has 3070+ performance and still gets bios updates constantly

[mental adder]

bios?

[weary flame]

Dw about that too much

It's a card that will keep being relevant for at least the next 4 years from how Nvidia and AMD are pricing things

Did you get this from pcbenchmark perhaps?

[weary scroll]

Is there any like rtx card i should get instead of a amd rx 6600

[weary flame]

The 6700XT probably

Because for that price you get a 3050

Which is just way worse

[paper dock]

aight. I want to buy a pc later this year, or build one. I know I want Intel i5-13600KF. Should i go amd or nvidia as far gpu goes? Budget for everything is around 2k. I am completely dumb when it comes to hardware

[weary flame]

Is this for gaming?

If so, I have a build with a better CPU, unless you need Intel for quicksync

[rancid wolf]

hey can anyone help me pick parts for a pc build? i am not experienced in this field and i need a new pc for game and movies and browsing the internet, please ping me if you can help.

[weary flame]

Budget you have?

[rancid wolf]

1650usd, and I don't want to spend money on looks since it's gonna be on the floor and out of my view so no RGB or any or that extra money things

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9TbnTY

Thius is a baller PC

I can look for a better GPU

It won't do much, but it'll still be better

[rancid wolf]

Much appreciated

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ckGmPF

This one actually

[rancid wolf]

If it's within my budget than please do

[weary flame]

The 6750XT is close to the same price

Lemme see rq then

[rancid wolf]

Thank you very much 🙏

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rtmdn6

Here

6800xt

YUou'll be fine with this card for a long time

[rancid wolf]

Thank you

now i just need to find the parts beacuse the retailers in my country dont have anything lol

[weary flame]

which country you're in?

[short trench]

hello, the best pc for 860$?

[devout wolf]

oh wow, SSD prices are crazy low

[weary flame]

They are

2 TB for under 100 at cheapest

The Samsung ones are 110?

And that's gen 4

[tardy flint]

Just buy a ps5 with some gear if you only have a budget of 860

You cant make a good pc for so little

[deep scroll]

Actually you coudl get something decent with 860

Its a budget ofc but if youre looking for specifically some of the features to get with pc gaming then it can still work and run games on low settings

[weary flame]

I think a 5800G would do fine
Otherwise you can still wait for the Ryzen 7000 APU ones

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YDt8W4

I do have this

it's capable

Far from the greatest

But you get it

[mental adder]

so what u want to do, is, left click your user name, and press that red button named ''leave the server'' thank you!

[pulsar fossil]

I helped him with that

[rigid kiln]

AMD= 💩 , Intel = 💻

[static pecan]

[crimson scroll]

[keen rain]

good one?

[weary flame]

Look for a 2TB SSD, if it's not much more

Otherwise it's good

I have no reference for price tho

Does this include shipping?

And is this also a prebuilt?

[rough cloak]

no i built it

[rough cloak]

no ive actually built it in the shop and collected it from the shop so no shipping and no building fees since its my friends shop

[weary flame]

Ah
Fair

Check if a setup with a 7800X3D and 6800xt is possible

6700xt is also good, but I checked pcpartpicker for UAE and don't see it

[rough cloak]

check on dubbizle

[weary flame]

I will when home

[weary flame]

Congrats

[rough cloak]

Nice pc

[cinder grotto]

Damn that's a lot of fans

[rough cloak]

[weary flame]

Should be 10 total

[cinder grotto]

Why should there be 10?

[weary flame]

The rad?

[noble oak]

based on what?

[weary flame]

pcbenchmark

[noble oak]

Why do you have that?

delet it ((

[noble oak]

||what models were tested?||

[weary flame]

Oh no, it's a really bad site

[pulsar fossil]

English only please :)

[pulsar fossil]

You will not use Polish, you will use English as per the #rules :)

And please stay on topic. Thank you

[pastel chasm]

Am very new to know about how to build pc can you please recommed some what should i buy and how to build it please and using this pc only for gaming

[naive cairn]

it depends on your budget

[weary flame]

What's the budget you have?

[pastel chasm]

i wanted a top end build only for gaming budget isnt a problem

[steady oracle]

CLEAN YOUR SETUP.

[weary flame]

Calm down

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8yYsYN

Here

Idk if you have a monitor or windows OS

[pastel chasm]

Will look into it thanks berry

[pine fossil]

guys

i want a $200 pc

[carmine bear]

Can I suggest a used samsung galaxy 5?

[whole vine]

Uhh you could get a raspberry Pi 400 for under 200 but it's not so good for bigger games. Source: I have one.

[rough cloak]

Thats the shop i built in

CHILL

[silver portal]

guys does this looks fine https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8q86h3?

[weary flame]

If this is for gaming, I suggest the 7800X3D

Otherwise maybe get a second M.2, it's not a requirement, but it's nice if money isn't an issue

[silver portal]

i already got it xD

(the pc not the second m2)

but im planning on getting another m2 if needed

[timid saddle]

First generation core i3cpu , some crappy old mobo from china and a gtx 750ti idk

And for ssd get a 16gb chinese thing and dor the case who needs case its 2023 who need case alright psu again a cheap chinse trash

And some 128mb ram

[weary flame]

Ooooooh, yeah, fair

I was just saying so that you have a loty of storage, you clearly aren't going for price/performance

Do consider that 7800X3D if this is pure gaming tho

[fringe field]

Best CPU out there.

[rough cloak]

Ye that looks great , congrats

[silver portal]

thanks

just got it after having i5 7500 and 1060 6gb for like 4/5 years

[tawny wren]

very nice, what u doing with the old pc ?

[maiden ledge]

uh question im new to pc stuff and i wanted to get one built but idk what a decent CPU or GPU would be

[timid saddle]

What is ur budget

5600 or 5600x and a rtx 3060 would be a pretty good combo idk? im not a pro or something to pc building

[weary flame]

Get a 6600(xt) over a 3060
Cheaper and better performance

But you can do better dependant on budget

[silver portal]

my father's friend who owns a computer store sold it for me

[timid saddle]

ok

[boreal dagger]

Hi, some french can help me ?

[weary flame]

If you give me a budget in your currency, I think euro, I can give you a parts list that works well

[noble oak]

does anyone know the best 1500$ list of parts for a pc

[lapis sundial]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mWtmGP

[lapis sundial]

This is mine.

H9 Flow really best

[silver portal]

I also have it but Black

Its awesome

What are your temperatures?

[lapis sundial]

Empty? or while playin games

playin tft and watching streams 40-46. playing games between 50-65

[weary flame]

One sec

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

Should be around 1.5k

[lapis sundial]

Nice system but I wouldn't prefer an AMD graphics card. When I was using 6800, I was very bored of dealing with the WATTman problem, and instead of Arctic LF II 280, it is better to buy 240 because the 240 version gives better performance than 280. I didn't ignore these things because I was doing this job, but still Arctic is always a very good brand in my opinion. Other than that, I think AM5 is not good for now. It creates problems for users like the early days of 3D. I think it would be better to wait a little longer. ✍️

[weary flame]

So

1. which issues? gen question
2. 280 will always be better at dealing with heat than the 240
3. AM5, and especially X3D are mostly solved, I have specifically selected boards that aren't Asus to circumvent the BIOS update thing

Otherwise, switch it with a 7700x, it won't have the same memory issues, is cheaper and will allow an upgrade path for later, while still having high performance in workload and gaming

[weary flame]

Nice, nice

[steep knot]

YOO

[steep knot]

HOW

Pls give me

[pulsar fossil]

He probably bought/built it :)

[steep knot]

How can i buil a PC like that ?

[pulsar fossil]

There's lots of guides on YouTube :)

[steep knot]

How much that cost ? For a good PC

[pulsar fossil]

Depends on your needs

[steep knot]

How much

Money

Like ca.

[static pecan]

You should probably ask the person that built it if you want to know how much it costs

[steep knot]

How much it cost ?

[royal mountain]

i built it about a year ago

cost me 2300 cad

[steep knot]

2300 euro ?

[pulsar fossil]

Canadian Dollars

[steep knot]

How much is it on euro ?

[pulsar fossil]

That's what Google is made for :)

[steep knot]

What is Google ?

[copper turtle]

what is world

[steep knot]

What is me ?

[gilded glacier]

What is?

[loud flower]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FpKZ89

Opinions? finally decided to get a new pc and to treat myself

[weary flame]

Get another board and GPU that isn't Asus, they have had a recent track record of just, very bad customer service, and their products tend to have some faults that you sorta need it for
For the board specifically, you'll need to do a BIOS flashback if you don't want your CPU to die, this is an Asus thing, I suggest board from vendors like MSI or Gigabyte
Iirc, the AMD Taichi is a really good board

Further, I have no idea how good Antec's PSU's are, however, I think I can find a higher rated one from a reputable brand that I know, for the same or less

also I am partial to the Fractal North and the Liquid Freezer 2, but both are more me being impartial. Although the Liquid Freezer 2 has great performance

[loud flower]

the psu is just a placeholder

the one i was going to use isnt on the website for some reason

[weary flame]

Which one, if I might know?

[loud flower]

Sharkoon Rebel P30 Gold 1300W

[weary flame]

I
Genuinely never heard of them

So I'd be careful

[loud flower]

my friend works in a pc shop and recommended it

but ill have a look around

[weary flame]

Fair ig

I suggest uh

SeaSonic def, Corsair makes decent ones

EVGA

SilverStone too

ANyway, one thing I strongly recommend, is change the motherboard out

The GPU could be fine, because the only caveat is the costumer support

But the board can be iffy

[copper turtle]

13600kf
ASRock | Z690 PG Riptide
DDR4 3600 Kingbank CJR 16GB*2
Hunter G750W
thermalright 360 Frozen magic
gigabyte 2080TI
Kingbank SSD PCIE 4.0 2TB
ZhiTai Ti plus 7000 1TB
shoebox

what about this one

[weary flame]

Go DDR5 at that point

Preferably with a Z790

Idfk the 2080ti pricing

Ig a 6800xt

[copper turtle]

expensive

[weary flame]

You're going with a 2080ti

It's not really cheap to begin with

[copper turtle]

i buying used one

[weary flame]

What's the amount you're gonna spend on that?

[copper turtle]

close 1K Eur

[weary flame]

That's not used

[copper turtle]

for full pc

only graphic card I prefer 200~250 eur

[weary flame]

You can do better second hadn with AMD

A 6750xt probably, which will also outperform a 2080ti iirc

[copper turtle]

then 6800xt

[weary flame]

Either of the two will work

[copper turtle]

id like Nvidia, bc i need cuda sometimes

[weary flame]

second hand 3070 then

Should be south of 300

[copper turtle]

new one?

what price about used

[weary flame]

Talking used

[copper turtle]

that's good

[weary flame]

And either way, AMD's CUDA core simulations have become so good that, if you don't use it consistently and don't mind the slightly longer time, AMD is better
Especially last gen with price/performance

What a 6800xt lacks in CUDA, it can output in pure compute and whatever they call the thing trhat simulates CUDA

won't be as good probably, but it'll be very close

[copper turtle]

I'll check into AMD

sounds good

[empty shard]

guys i dont know why the rgb in my laptop not working @loud flower @weary flame @copper turtle

[weary flame]

Idk

You're probably in saving mode

[pulsar fossil]

Please don't randomly ping people out of the blue

[weary flame]

And either way

Yeah, what Lennart said

Also hey Len!

[pulsar fossil]

This isn't for that kind of thing

Heya Berry! I hope you're doing well :)

[weary flame]

Am going

Bit tired

Headache

For the rest okay ig

[pulsar fossil]

Me too

[weary flame]

Oof

[pulsar fossil]

Except no headache here

So that's something

[weary flame]

Tbf, if you aren't eternally tired, are you even real

[pulsar fossil]

True

[empty shard]

can u help me

[pulsar fossil]

But @empty shard make a post in #1047622297382567936

And I'll try to help

Include with laptop you have

[weary flame]

Anyway, I should be reading for some stuff
But currently too tired and watching Wendell about some server stuff

Because idk

Servers are cool

god Genoa is godlike

[loud flower]

Oh btw berry i think i figured out why u never heard of the sharkoon psu, its based in Germany so maybe depending on where ur from u wouldnt know it

https://en.sharkoon.com/product/RebelP30

[weary flame]

Ah

Quite possible

I hear very few German brands outside of, well, Germany

[pulsar fossil]

I think one of my very first headsets was an awful Sharkoon surround sound headset with multiple drivers

But that's a very very long time ago

[loud flower]

I've heard good things about thé psu's so giving them a shot

And my mate who works in a pc shop recommended it aswell

[opal bronze]

I want to buy a pc with a i5 13400f and a 4060ti with 16 GB v ram do you tink that is a god idea?

[weary flame]

What's your budget?

And any reason you want an Nvidia card specifically

[opal bronze]

@weary flame it is a pre build pc and cost 1313,70 € and thad is Exactly waht i have. And Yes it is Import for me to have the invida Features.
Thx for the answer

[weary flame]

Why are the Nvidia features important

And fair ig

But this channel is about building a PC

Not buying a prebuilt

[rough cloak]

get a 3070ti and a i7 may-be better

And a spelling book

[opal bronze]

Okay tanke you

Okay i wil do it thx

[idle wolf]

what color would silent switches be?

would that be red?

[karmic crow]

Define 'Silent switches' to us.

[weary flame]

There are several "quiet" switches

You have to look arojnd

[timber drift]

Go to newegg.com and add your parts on the pc builder. I think it even goes as far as filtering the remaining parts that are compatible with the previously selected items. If it does then it will also give you an idea of the other remaining costs.

[crimson scroll]

Pcpartpicker.com will generally be better than the Newegg picker, more places and parts to choose from

[weary flame]

True

And even then

It's a prebuilt

Apparently

So it's fine

[loud flower]

Guys i just build her.. but she kinda loud any ideas how to fix it? It's my first time Building so no idea how to fix it

I have nzxtcam

But no idea how to work it

[weary flame]

Go to bios, change the fan speeds

[loud flower]

i tried that, some of the fans just didnt show up

they're all plugged in properly tho

[weary flame]

because they're probably chained

[loud flower]

i installed this fan program called fan control from Remoo

and for 2 of my fans it said couldnt pair speed sensor?

[weary flame]

Which fans are they?

Like brand

[loud flower]

Nzxt

[weary flame]

Use the nzxt software

[loud flower]

i have nzxt cam but only the pump and fan showup not the case fans

[kind portal]

how much was it to make it

[loud flower]

4.5k :D

Euro

[kind portal]

damn

how long did u save

[loud flower]

2months :D

2months n half ish

[lost pasture]

What is plugged into the cpu opt? Thats usually for the aio or cpu cooler personally id plug pump into its own aio pump and then rest of the fans if their connected to a hub plug that into the fan header not cpu header or cpu opt

What i done for my 18 fans I plugged them into 2 hubs then plugged that into a fan head 6 as that was the neatest for cable managing

[weary flame]

I

Okay

[lost pasture]

Oh i replied to the wrong person sorry bud

[lost pasture]

@loud flower this was ment for you

[weary flame]

Np

Just confused

[lost pasture]

My bad was cooking dinner didnt see who i replied too till after

[loud flower]

yeahh thats pretty much how i have it set up aswell

i think 2 of my fans just

a bit

yk

small brained

:D

its okay tho i got it setup in a way that my fans only turn on once the cpu and gpu get above a certain amount

just one fan thats always on at 400rpm

but its quiet

[lost pasture]

I use my motherboard bios for my fans

[oblique crane]

Hey all just built my first PC
Specs MSI B550m-p pro motherboard
ryzen 5 5600 CPU
32gig klev kras RAM
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070
So just wanted to hear if it is a good beginner build

[weary flame]

it is

You already bought it so that doesn't really matter what we say

[oblique crane]

Input is still valued

[pulsar fossil]

If you could travel in time and give that PC to me in stead of my actual first PC I'd be super confused about what a gigahertz or multicore CPU was :D

[sage seal]

My first PC (not counting gtx 1050 and i5 8th gen laptop):
Msi Rtx 4070 Gaming X Trio
I7 13700kf
32 gigs of kingston 6000mhz ddr5 ram
2Tb Kingston kc3000 m.2
Be quiet pure power 12m 750w nzxt h9 flow white case
Rate it 1-10

[weary flame]

Its solid
I would've suggested a 5800X3D, but no reason now that you bought that 5600x just now
Otherwise, what's the ram speed and clocks?

[oblique crane]

Ram clock speed or CPU speed?

[weary flame]

Ram

And clocks

I meant to say timings

[nimble spear]

Rack of Glass transistors copper pipes and pressure valves

[digital sluice]

Guys i have question i build my pc at the time it was a good high end pc. so what tier is it now ande what can i begin with upgrading. specs.

AMD fx-8350 black edition \

8GB ram ddr3

800watt powersupply

videocart r280x or 380x

i play still csgo and old games more.\

[crimson scroll]

not great

if you upgrade the cpu to a modern part you'll have to replace the mobo and the ram at a minimum

you'll want a ssd too if you don't have one

the question is what's your budget and what games are you going to play? if it's just csgo that will run on a lot of hardware, and older games aren't going to need more performance. If you're happy with the performance then no need to upgrade

[weary flame]

If you give me a price point you're willing to spend I can send a general build I've made

Like parts list

[digital sluice]

I have a ssd 250 gb but i play mainly csgo and RuneScape

Price point i can go about 3k at top but i like to keep kost to 1k

I see upgrade kits at azerty and alternate in the netherlands

I know ram is my main bottleneck at the moment

But software wise i cant find it normally with amd looks like prehistorisch nazi memorabilia

Thats why i opt out to look for before i cant do anything to it than look at those parts

Thank you cincerly guys for your help

[weary flame]

1k is gonna be low

But one sec

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

This is ~1.5k

Might've gone lower tho

@digital sluice

[haughty junco]

low? exactly what for? o: coming from an amd fx you dont need a ryzen 7, 5's are more than enough o:

it's my personal experience tho, i've got a 5 3600 since they came out and i dont feel i need anything higher even tho i just got a rtx4060

[weary flame]

In price

And

This is a 7800X3D

It's a gaming focused build

[haughty junco]

but this guy plays old games, why would he need such a beast ?

[oblique crane]

Just a stupid question do I have to be overstressed that my new PC shut down unexpectedly due to loadshedding cause the loadshedding app says one thing and reality is another

[weary flame]

[haughty junco]

[glacial quiver]

@oblique crane If it happens to often you might start having issues.. rather try get a small inverter that runs your pc

[lost pasture]

Loadshedding meaning?

[oblique crane]

We have power cuts 3 times a day equating to a minimum of 6 hours of no electricity in the day it depends on the stage we in cause it can get as bad as 12 hours of no electricity in the day

[lost pasture]

you'll need a back up plan my friend

[mental adder]

get a UPS, just depends how much ur pc takes W and how much u willing to spend one of those

[oblique crane]

My PSU is a 650w

[noble oak]

W

WATS

[amber raft]

MY IS 750@!!!!

[lost pasture]

you can get like 1000-2000+ watt UPS

[devout wolf]

and also how long you want it to run under said W

[quiet belfry]

👍 💯

[devout wolf]

a UPS won't help much for 6 hour power outs

well, not a standard one

[pulsar fossil]

Tesla power wall? :D

[mental adder]

I mean there plenty of ups and power banks that can handle 6 hours of 650w+. But most of them are ment to shut down PC without corrupting system and avoid surges

[devout wolf]

wait actually, which UPS has that runtime?

[mental adder]

I mean if u want to spend like 10k one of those bad boys go for it

[devout wolf]

ah

at that point I'd just go for a solar powered lead acid backup battery thing

[lost pasture]

Diesel generator for outside if your super worried

Can get a 50000watts for 10K

Greta thunberg steaming like a coal fuelled train though

[weak nest]

nah diesel will cut it no need to start getting greta involved don't want her to be arrested for trespassing

[chilly sphinx]

Are cpus packaged well enough that the pins won’t break even when the ups driver chucks it at like 30 feet per second

[autumn gate]

Hopefully, those clamshells they come with are pretty good at securing them along with the usual packaging. Just give the pins a good look at to be sure.

[vale plume]

Are you in South Africa ?

I’m looking to upgrade my pc, is it worth going to a r7 5800x3d from a r5 5600x?
Currently I have a R5 5600x, 3080ti oc and 32gb ram

[devout wolf]

not really

[weary flame]

Yeah
If you have a board that can use it, it's best for price/performance

Especially with that 3080ti you'll see performance

However
Only do it if you feel the need to upgrade your CPU and have the money

[bold parrot]

Hey I was wondering if someone can put together a pc for me like the specs I don’t know much about it I just want something with the 3070 and the I9

Probly the only one mice from steel series that i found in shop right now 😄

[rustic moth]

depends on how big ur hands are but u could try the razer deathadder v2

im using the mini version of that atm

couldnt be happier with another mouse

Got up to Asc3 on val with it so yano

[leaden pilot]

Hello, I just bought an arctis nova 7 wireless and I have a problem, it is my first time with a steelseries and for some reason I hear all the audio from my microphone in the headphones, even the slightest sound.

[pulsar fossil]

Wrong channel, but turn off sidetone in Engine :)

[pulsar shoal]

Or on the headset itself as someone said to another user in General channel earlier today..

[leaden pilot]

ok thans

[earnest peak]

best gaming mouse for big hands?

[humble echo]

I have the G502 lightspeed, I'm a huge fan.

[bold parrot]

Mmm no i don’t have a budget and I don’t really need intel I just heard it’s better then ryzen and the use for it is just for gaming

[weary flame]

Not really anymore, it depends now from game to game

If you can give me about how much you want to spend I can look through my builds to see what would work for you

[oblique furnace]

i have a 3080 10gb but my pc's specs seem to be bottle necking it, current rig:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
BaseBoard Product B360M BAZOOKA (MS-7B24)
2x DDR4 8GB 1499MHZ 16CL (XMP) Slot 2 & 4
1x DDR4 8GB 1299MHZ 16CL Slot 3
3080 10GB MSI Gaming X Trio

anyone know what upgrades i should get and some reccomendations?

[median creek]

Idk about that motherboard

How much watt

[oblique furnace]

850w i thinl

[rustic moth]

Yea think ur MB is holdin u back pal

[oblique furnace]

if im getting a new mb should i get a new cpu

i have budget of around 400 - 500$

[rustic moth]

why would you?

Your cpu is good

[rustic moth]

what replacements are u lookin at then

say u were to replace CPU

[oblique furnace]

idk

[rustic moth]

what are your options in regards to your budget

[oblique furnace]

new intel maybe

welll

motherboard probs 150?

[rustic moth]

I mean

[oblique furnace]

dk tho

[rustic moth]

if u wanna go overkill u could go for the MSI MPG Z790 Edge

That would work magic with the 9900k

[oblique furnace]

its lga 1700 tho

9900k is 1151

thats really the only issue tbh

since i checked and theres not much point buying a new 1151

• my ram is kinda bad tbh

[rustic moth]

mmm

Thoughts on a 12900?

[oblique furnace]

smash

hm but

its 18% bottle neck still

[rustic moth]

check dms

[pulsar fossil]

Eh.. I should probably upgrade my cpu.. I9-9900k with a 4080

[weary flame]

Tf no

Your 9900k is fine

You can upgrade

But it's not needed

This bottleneck bs is just that, bs

You can always upgrade, but there's little need for it

[little ibex]

Quick question for peoples thoughts regarding the current pc build. There is a competition at work and the below is the prize for 1st place. If I win, what would you suggest upgrading?
(Mostly only play Apex Legends and MMO’s)

GigaByte B760M DS3H AX DDR4
Intel Core I5 13400F
16GB Adata Spectrix D45G DDR4 3600MHZ (2x8GB)
Zotac RTX 4060TI Twin Edge - 8GB
1TB Lexar NM710 Gen4 SSD
AfterShock M42 Frost Cooling
800W FSP Hydro Pro 80+ Bronze

[weary flame]

GPU

GPU and the SSD

Actually solid build tho

[little ibex]

What would you upgrade them to?

[weary flame]

Something that's a 2TB SSD, you probably can add onto it extra

GPU

Depends budget

[proud talon]

I wouldn't listen to such "calculators"

[devout wolf]

bottlenecking is a stupid term

utilization is different for every application

proper budgeting is what matters

a 9900K is perfectly fine with a 3080

B360 is kinda odd though

[oblique furnace]

it was a prebuilt...

i got it in 2018

didnt know about pcs so i just g ot a prebuilt

i cant fine any better motherboards tho

[compact seal]

hey does anyone knows how to fix a windows error, Whea_uncorrectable_Error and unexpected_storage_exeption

[hazy rock]

First one means an instability somewhere. Either CPU, Motherboard, Storage, or GPU.

If you install an app called BlueScreenView the next time the system bonks itself you can find the exact error codes.

But the second one sounds like your Windows drive is collapsing in use.

[late sonnet]

o/ im getting new case lancool 215 or corsair 4000d

[hazy rock]

Woo

[noble oak]

Hi I got a question

I want to transport my asus ProArt b660 d4 from us to Europe but I’ve seen much asus motherboards getting their pins bent

So is it safe doing it ?

[compact seal]

you just solved the problem i had holy shit Thank you

[hazy rock]

What was the issue?

[hazy rock]

Use bubble wrap, air cushions and hope

[compact seal]

hard drive

[hazy rock]

Aha, glad you were able to sort it.

[compact seal]

good lord it was the hard drive

[hazy rock]

Yep, at least that's a cheaper part haha

[compact seal]

i say it because my pc is a laptop

and the motherboard almost the same price as the laptop

[hazy rock]

Yep!

[late sonnet]

lancool 215 or corsair 4000d case

[weary flame]

Go with what you like, I'm partial to the Fractal North

[stone turtle]

idk but i think u should upgrade psu

i would go with gold 750 idk

cause power efficiency is more important than watts

[little ibex]

Not overly familiar with the difference tbh. I sell prebuilt pcs/laptops for a job and I’m one of the top sales people. But never built my own 😅

[stone turtle]

theres no noticebly difference its just a bit more heat if you choose bronze

anyways wow people still buy prebuilts

[little ibex]

Yeah, a fair few. Seems to be cheaper right now. Compared some of the specs of a prebuilt with the prices online and somehow the parts cost more 🤷‍♂️

[formal arch]

Hi guys, I've built a PC and it doesn't have any RGB headers. Apparently I can get a RGB controller and connect the fans to that, but all the controllers I've looked at require RGB headers anyways. Do any of you know a controller that doesn't require RGB headers?

[weary flame]

There should be ones that plug into a USB header

[shadow cairn]

Yo guys
Please rate my setup
3070 8gb i5 12400f
My first one (console player)

Should I change something or it will be fine for a year at least

[delicate tendon]

good to starting, but adding another 8gb of ram will help performance noticably, but for most things you'll be ok

[edgy mulch]

What do people think of this build for vr?

[craggy blade]

I'm needing to bring my computer up to the modern era and I was thinking of going with ryzen instead of Nvidia what are your thoughts on the ryzen? Currently still using a 1070

[weary flame]

7800X3D, DDR5 6000
Get a 2 TB drive at least

[edgy mulch]

I have an external with 5

[weary flame]

Ryzen is CPUs, you mean Radeon

And what amount do you want to spend?

[weary flame]

Meant for SSD

2TB is like ~100 which is really good in price for a gen4x3

[edgy mulch]

Thing with nvidia is if you dont keep upgrading and getting new ones then eventually its gonna get outdated to point you cant upgrade witch is why im now needing to spend 1.8k usd for a New pc

[edgy mulch]

As I said I have an external with 5tb so space isnt a problem rn I just need something and then I can upgrade from there

[weary flame]

I still think it's worth the investment

[edgy mulch]

My pc rn only has what it came with on the ssd evrything else is on my 5tb

And i have bareley used 1tb

But I would Def be open to upgrading ssd in the future

In your guys opinion what cpu and motherboard should I get for 2560 x 1440 for an Rtx 3090, my current specs are i5 9600k, 16gb ddr4 ram 3600mhz

With 3090 zotac trinity ^

[dim nimbus]

Good enough

Put ram

[dim nimbus]

get ryzen

ryzen 5600x even for 4k good

[fresh tulip]

I was thinking an i5 13600k as I don’t know shit about ryzen

[mint stratus]

Hi, how do I get a nitro discord?

[dim nimbus]

ryzen better for gaming

[fresh tulip]

They run very toasty don’t they ? I mean the 3090 already hits 83 degrees max that gon make my whole damn room a toaster

[clear jackal]

3090 you say 🤔 ? Well I'm rocking the R9 7950x + MSI B650 TOMAHAWK with a 3070 gaming at 1440p with great frames while streaming on the same system and I would love a 3090 in my rig but I'm about to upgrade to the new RX 7800 xt that AMD just released that's better than the 4070ti and cheaper. I've built custom PC for over 20 years and I'd recommend my current rig to any gamer with the 💰 available to afford it! (Highly recommend checking out my monitor for 1440p 270Hz gaming)
Full Build w/ Parts Price List 👉 https://pcpartpicker.com/b/gnwzK8

[fresh tulip]

That’s a pricey ass cpu is that even needed for a 2-3 year old gpu? If I had that I’d probably cop a 4080 or 4090 nothing really less

[clear jackal]

Settings -> Billing Settings -> Nitro

[fresh tulip]

Rtx 4070 ti was a possible option for me but I got the 3090 for £480 after it got a service (thermal pad and paste) so it was still about 200 less then a 4070ti for similar performance

[clear jackal]

It is but it's priced pretty fairly considering the state of GPU MSRPs. A 4080 or 4090 would be an obvious choice and great pairing but one can find much cheaper alternatives in the GPU market and still game with plenty of frames at 1440p, like the EVGA RTX 3070 that I still need to upgrade in my personal rig. A common misconception in PC Gaming is that you need a High End GPU to maintain FPS at 1440p when in reality, you're CPU does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to delivering a smooth gaming experience. You can easily game at 1440p with most of the 30 series cards and IMHO, investing in a CPU is the smarter option rather than a GPU when it comes to future proofing custom PCs.

[fresh tulip]

Yeah I suppose that makes sense but in all honesty I just want something that pairs well with it, not something that won’t really be pushed I’m not streaming on it and in all honesty I don’t wanna blow minimum £700-800 on a processor motherboard and a new cpu cooler as ryzen is toasty, I already got the 3090 in my rig and it runs well just notice in certain titles it struggles on my cpu a lot

[clear jackal]

What are your temps idle/under load?

[fresh tulip]

Idle on what my cpu ? Or gpu ?

[clear jackal]

Whatever you're having issues with

[fresh tulip]

Well I notice is certain titles I get 95-100% cpu utilisation and have to ramp all settings up to get the exact same frame rate, wether as an example I run cyberpunk on physco ray traced and ultra ray traced and physco runs at 60-45most of time@and ultra runs at around 50-30

[fresh tulip]

I don’t think it’s any issue i think I’m just due an upgrade possibly on some ram and cpu

And also to mention dlss does literally nothing on my pc now as cpu is being pushed to its hardest😂

[clear jackal]

Problem: Hold on, what's this about Ray Tracing? I think I already know you're issue my friend. Lower in-game settings a touch. You're rig isn't meant to run any type of Ray Tracing or 4k gaming.

📌 Solutions: You're CPU is being bottlenecked by your GPU. The GPU is working too hard to provide 4k/Ray Tracing Textures
📌 Solutions: **High GPU Temps (>80c) -> Lower In-Game Settings and/or Undervolt GPU (Not Recommended, Can Damage PC) **

[fresh tulip]

I’m running 1440p

I’ll take a look at home mate ty

and I thought 77-83 is normal for a 3090 ?

[clear jackal]

High CPU utilization can be reduced by closing idle game launchers or other apps. Start -> Task Manager -> Details -> Close Idle Apps.
You can also further optimize GPUs in commonly overlooked in the NVidia Control Panel like Enable High Performance and Prefer Maximum Performance.
PCs are finicky, especially custom ones. Make sure ALL of your drivers, firmware and BIOS are up to date for your Motherboard/GPU/CPU/Fansand always use your manufacturers website for downloads

[clear jackal]

It's "normal" but not recommended. Try setting or raising your fan curves if you haven't done so.

[fresh tulip]

And I also thought 90 degrees is the safe zone but it bottlenecks the graphics card, if 80-83 is kinda rated by the manufacturer then I’ll likely just keep it at that, fan curves I don’t really know how to do to be honest

And the thing pulls 350w the power efficiency ain’t there, was debating smacking a water block on it and then overclocking it but I just bought a 850w psu platinum, 700w bronze really wasn’t it😂

[clear jackal]

Really those are more Thermal Throttle Limits, that's marketing at work rebranding the terms. Place your hand on your GPU at anything over 70c and see how it feels. How do you think that heat over time effects the tiny bits of plastic and metal at a constant 80c+?

You really need to have a fan curve, I HIGHLY suggest looking up a fan curve guide for your specific GPU on YouTube

[fresh tulip]

Yeah I’ll take a look would u say afterburner would be better for it ? Or firestorm

[clear jackal]

Anything > a 700W 80 Cert Gold PSU is where you want to be

[clear jackal]

Afterburner

ALWAYS use Pcpartpicker.com to check for compatibility issues for every compenant in your PC!

[fresh tulip]

I noticed even when I was running a 700w bronze rated i sometimes got random game crashes on the psu so I don’t trust it in the slightest so I ordered a platinum 850w and I checked that before 🙂

I think I ordered a Corsair 850i

[clear jackal]

PCs are incredibly finicky, those crashes could've been related to the PSU or simply driver incompatibility issues. Tough to tell

[clear jackal]

Can't go wrong with Corsair

[fresh tulip]

Trust me if u saw the psu my mate lended me u would understand, the whole outer metal casing is fucked, I didn’t wannna run the 3090 on my 550w gold rated so lent my mates old one

Also do u think it’s worth having more fans I have 3 intake fans and one top out fan and a 1 fan radiator blowing out the back

Hold up I’ll try show

[clear jackal]

Hey let me know how things turn out with everything @fresh tulip I'm off to go stream finally! I've been adding tons of new assets to the channels and just made the official discord for us.

[fresh tulip]

Appreciate it man !

Anytime ❤️

[mint stratus]

I don't have Billing Settings

[mint stratus]

@clear jackal , help me pls

[pulsar fossil]

You can't get it for free if that's what you're going for

There was a promo with SteelSeries but that ended in January

[hybrid dawn]

is an i5 13600k good with the 4060ti

?

[crimson scroll]

Sure

[left jacinth]

90 degrees bruv?

Cooler then the rest of the computer at that point
