[weary flame]

What'"s your GPU?

Also verify game files

And turn down GPU settings if they'renot really low already

[exotic abyss]

why would i?

im rtx 4060

120 fps on max settings

[weary flame]

"crash type = gpu"

Maybe

That"'s why?

[exotic abyss]

ye

[weary flame]

Because

You're crashing

With your GPU?

So

You should

Limit the load

On your GPU?

By, idk, turning down settings

And not have it turned up to the max?

[exotic abyss]

weird

never heard of gpu crashing because of being used at 100%

[weary flame]

No, it is, in fact, pretty normal

GPU's, quite often, crash at "100%"

So

Turn down the settings and see how it goes

[exotic abyss]

never got a crash on my previous card tho

ok

[weary flame]

The 4060 has a small buss and less vram

So there the issue may lie

[exotic abyss]

what's small buss

[weary flame]

Especially since it has issues pulling textures
Or get something from the texture allocator

Although
it says something about device removed

[exotic abyss]

weird tho

i had 2 crashes

[weary flame]

So yeah

It's because it is running too hard

[exotic abyss]

one was full of stutters and it crashed

[weary flame]

It cannot do it

Yes

If it stutters

[exotic abyss]

but the first time it was normal and randomly out of no where

[weary flame]

One of your components is getting overloaded

In this case, GPU

So

Turn down the settings

[exotic abyss]

ok

but i will still get crashes btw

because i had 2 errors

"ErrorMessage": "Unhandled exception",

bruh

i mean

i will see

[weary flame]

The same cause

Can have

Two different

Effects

[exotic abyss]

ok

[weary flame]

And you yourself said that you run max settings
On a 4060

[exotic abyss]

ye

because that's how Hogwarts Legacy loaded me into a game

[weary flame]

Now I remember why I got that error
My 3070 got too hot

[exotic abyss]

overloaded = overheating or not

[weary flame]

It can be both?

I'm giving why I got the message?

You might be overloading, but I overheated mine

[exotic abyss]

ok

i tried fixing files

aka validate and i will tell you if something changed

i will see usage etc through rivaturner (afterburner)

no overclocking btw so yh

[weary flame]

Doesn't matter

[exotic abyss]

btw

is it normal that my ram is nearly 100% all the time?

[weary flame]

How much ram do you have?

[exotic abyss]

16 gb

limited to 2666 MHz cuz of CPU

wtf

im literally 5 fps on loading screen

WTF

maybe i should disable ray tracing

disabled it

gpu usage near 80-90% and stuttering :/

bruh even on lowest settings

it's better

but it stutters sometimes

drop to 30 fps nice

from 150

why is my gpu still on 95% usage

that's normal or not

[finite hare]

I had a 4060ti in my last pc, couldn’t even play cod or fortnight without it stuttering ended up taking the 4060 back and getting a 4070 and it’s so much better

[weary flame]

So

1. Enable xmp
2. Your ram shouldn't be that high
3. It's not normal

I can look into it

Tomorrow

[exotic abyss]

weird

i swear it wasn't stuttering when i was playing for the first time

[finite hare]

Have you run any benchmarks on it

Is it stuttering as bad as this?

[exotic abyss]

can send you a clip if you want

but i need to do one first

[finite hare]

Send a clip so everyone can see and help you bro

[exotic abyss]

ye

just to make sure, bottleneck=stutters?

[finite hare]

Bottlenecking will cause stutters, my cpu was bottlenecking

[exotic abyss]

my is for sure too

no way i5-10400f can handle 4060

but damn

it's crazy how it stutters

here you go

[finite hare]

Couple be something completely different, I’m not an expert like the other guys in here, my cpu was suppose to handle cod, but it wasn’t and no one could figure out the issue

[exotic abyss]

what do you think

[exotic abyss]

what was your cpu

[finite hare]

i5 13400F

[exotic abyss]

oh

your cpu is better than mine actually

but that shouldn't be reason

because cpu is at 30% only

it's not even sweating i think

idk if that's how it works

well 60% now

[finite hare]

Have you tried with ray tracing off? I know a lot of people don’t run that on because it’s so demanding.

I’m running a i5 14600kf now

[exotic abyss]

i think i have it disabled

i don't even know

which one is ray tracing on my polish language game

but i have ray tracing quality grayed out so it's probably disabled

[finite hare]

Yeah it shouldn’t be on then, have you messed around on your nvidia control panel and changed anything?

Run a benchmark and see what you get, I use Unigine Heaven Benchmark

[exotic abyss]

i will try some benchmarks

[exotic abyss]

nothing

only enabled 240 hz

[exotic abyss]

but with my internet it will take ages to download app

but i will try tomorrow

1.3 mb/s is here

but it's playable tho

like it's stutters only when seeing/doing something for the first time

at least i think so

for example using spell for the first time

or when cut scene starts

[jaunty briar]

Really looks like an IO issue

What drive is this installed on

And how much ram you got, 16GB?

[exotic abyss]

what is IO

[exotic abyss]

yeah

3 fps 1% low is crazy

[exotic abyss]

latest

[exotic abyss]

playing on hdd

and my internet is trash

1.4 MB/s at it's best if that's the point

and yeah

i think that that's it

cuz i literally uninstalled COD after first launch

no textures

one big stutter

i installed apex legends on my ssd

i can see if i have ANY stutters

that may be the fix actually

let me know what you think

[exotic abyss]

or i will install cyberpunk on my ssd to see if it's stuttering

btw my PSU is 500W

maybe it's the issue?

[jaunty briar]

Nah it's the HDD

IO means input output, like disks. It's loading too slow if you mean you don't have an ssd but an hdd

That's why it's mostly running fine, but when it needs to load new areas or effect, it's studdering for a bit

I'm pretty sure everything will be fine if you're running from ssd

Don't worry about PSU or anything at this point, just move the game to your ssd and it's reasonable to assume the stutters will be mostly gone after that

[exotic abyss]

i need to get new disk tho

but that's not expensive

so i will see if my cyberpunk stutters tomorrow on ssd

if it wont not then getting 1tb ssd

[jaunty briar]

Nvme or ssd?

[exotic abyss]

is there a difference?

i know it's like 10 faster

but is there really a difference

[jaunty briar]

There's SSDs like 2.5" drives

[exotic abyss]

i know shit about disk tho

[jaunty briar]

And nvme is for mounting on your motherboard basically

[exotic abyss]

so guide me lol

[exotic abyss]

ye i know that actually

from random youtube videos

[jaunty briar]

Latter are the fastest

And at the moment I think also cheaper per gigabyte

[exotic abyss]

nvmes were like 6k/s right?

[jaunty briar]

Would have to check your motherboard, though, if you can actually use them

[exotic abyss]

let me see

can it?

i see the NVMe here

so it should right?

[jaunty briar]

Depends, there's sata nvme drives for example, that basically are like the 2.5" drives performance wise and the actual faster ones

Yeah

Guessing from your specs, I wouldn't really go for PCE gen 4 drives

Just save yourself that money

[exotic abyss]

so what should i buy then

[jaunty briar]

What's your budget

+-10%

[exotic abyss]

like $150

idk

i want a disk that's all

[jaunty briar]

That's PLENTY

Wait

[exotic abyss]

no budgget

that's my parents paying

[jaunty briar]

You can get away with half of that

[exotic abyss]

like they will understand so...

[jaunty briar]

You're in Poland right

[exotic abyss]

yeah

i think Kingston have the best disks?

[jaunty briar]

Wtf is wrong there

It seems like the stuff is 4 times more expensive as in Germany

[exotic abyss]

lol

did you convert currencies?

we earn shit in Poland tho

[jaunty briar]

If I did the math right this should be about 150$

https://www.amazon.pl/Corsair-Mp400-CSSD-F2000GBMP600PRO-Dysk-Czarny/dp/B08T9ZY5SY/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?crid=2RT01IC3RASHZ&keywords=CT2000P3SSD801&qid=1703556257&sprefix=ct2000p3ssd801%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-10

[exotic abyss]

well

i will see that on other shop

[jaunty briar]

Wtf why is that, that's so unfair lol

"Well you earn less so well@have you pay more lol"

[exotic abyss]

would hdd cause that insane stutters tho?

[jaunty briar]

Yea!

[exotic abyss]

weird

maybe it's amazon thing

[jaunty briar]

I can't even buy the MP 400 here

[exotic abyss]

oh

[jaunty briar]

It's not in stock for years

[exotic abyss]

that 2 TB

that's why

well that's normal i guess

[jaunty briar]

No

That's the successor with gen4

For 117 euros

Less than 500 slots

Zloty

[exotic abyss]

ye

it's 200 zlotys more in polish shops

[jaunty briar]

Ok grave injustice aside, is recommend you get a 1tb pcie 3.0 ssd

Nvme

Corsair or Samsung I never had problems with

If you live near the border I would really consider going to Germany

And just buying it there

[exotic abyss]

no i dont

livingnear the Warsaw

[jaunty briar]

Ah damn

Never been there, only to krakow, Breslau (sorry) and zakopane

[exotic abyss]

damn

i've never been to any of those myself

:D

[jaunty briar]

Hehe 🙂 all worth it in my opinion especially zakopane

[exotic abyss]

wait

what is that weird translation

Breslau is Wrocław

in polish

i thought it's belarus lol

[jaunty briar]

Yeah that's why I said sorry because i forgot the proper name

[exotic abyss]

but ive never been to Wrocław

maybe through car

[devout wolf]

I'll be in Warsaw soon

[exotic abyss]

cool

idk about ssd NVMe tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvI51mgVeDU

this guy did a comparison and there is no difference for him

no stutters etc

my game crashed before it even loaded

is that still hdd issue???

i only wanted to do a stream for my friend

and i couldn't get back in app

and it closed itself

i have a question about bottleneck

is that coincidence or what, i have 92-94% gpu usage in Escape the backrooms and i usually have same usage in Hogwarts Legacy when there is no action

does it mean anything

i crashed

in Escape the backrooms

wtf

[exotic abyss]

seems to be fixed after file validation

crashed anther time

this time after doing a stream on discord

ima reinstall drivers real quick

[exotic abyss]

Another one

in hogwartr legacy

[prime ivy]

Hello, can someone tell me whether it is easy to configure the "Apex 9 mini" keyboard because, by the way, are these systems with this light and such difficult???

[desert walrus]

I got the Apex 9 tkl but is really difficult to use the rgb in my opinion so its normal

[prime ivy]

And these millimeters are used to set the click sensitivity

[desert walrus]

No

In the engine have the typing mode and gaming mode

Tô change the click distance

To 1.5-1.0

[prime ivy]

And its easy ?

[desert walrus]

Yes

[prime ivy]

My son like 12 can do it ?

[desert walrus]

Sure

[prime ivy]

Thanks so much

[desert walrus]

Im a lit bit older than him

And i do it

[desert walrus]

Just open Steelseries GG go to engine enter on Apex 9 and have 2 options the typing and the gaming, click on gaming and safe the preset

[prime ivy]

okk

[desert walrus]

Or hold the Steelseries key hold it and O key is for gaming and I key is typing if 1 key light up gaming is on if 2 key light up typing is on

[exotic abyss]

i actually got hogwarts legacy on my ssd and it's not better :/

[subtle spoke]

I got the steel series headphones the newest one

[scenic dagger]

can an ASUS PRIME support a 40 series?

[jaunty briar]

Hm that's weird, I was very sure that was the problem. Take a look at the video memory utilization next. You should be able to add that toe the RTSS overlay?

Or just set the texture quality to low, shouldn't really make a big difference visually

[polar badge]

i'm not really building a pc

but is there a way i can give my laptop more ram?

because in a pc, you just open it and add ram sticks to the motherboard

can i do that in a laptop?

[pulsar fossil]

A laptop is also a PC :)

[pulsar fossil]

Depends on the laptop, some have ram soldered but most don't

You'll probably have to replace your existing ram with new that has a bigger size

[weary flame]

Most actually do have soldered ram, but the people that are here generally won't get the ones that have it becuase they tend to be somewhat lower quality

[devout wolf]

or LPDDR

[ionic stirrup]

gaming laptop?

and what brand?

[polar badge]

yes

acer

sorry for late response, didn't see the ping

[polar badge]

acer nitro 5

[ionic stirrup]

dw

[ionic stirrup]

then it's likely to not have soldered RAM

do you know the exact model of it?

[polar badge]

exact model?

ill try my best to find it

this is my laptop

https://www.euro.com.pl/laptopy-i-netbooki/acer-laptop-nitro-5-i5-16gb-512gb-3050-w11.bhtml?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAs6-sBhBmEiwA1Nl8sxTICJl2jRu1NNzC9_bDvblFqcH6uKScFV76IsMOaBPhpG-ZtY_9qBoCGrEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

sorry its polish because i am polish

you can probably translate the page

also got it for 3000pln because it was a sale :)

@ionic stirrup

[ionic stirrup]

yup, i can confirm it has non-soldered RAM

it seems like there are 2 sticks of 8 GB RAM already in it

[polar badge]

can't tell because i never opened the insides of it

the only reason i want more ram is because beamng's minimum ram required is 16gb

and i have 16gb

i wanna give myself like 32

gigs

[ionic stirrup]

haha we're on the exact same boat! BeamNG.drive makes me run out of RAM even with 16 GB

but yeah all you have to do is purchase some laptop RAM, disassemble the back of the laptop to get access to the RAM and just swap it

[polar badge]

hmm

[ionic stirrup]

yeah but here there are already 2 sticks

so you'll need 2 new sticks

of 16 GB each

[polar badge]

idk if theres 2 sticks

it could be 1 16gb stick

[ionic stirrup]

no the website you linked said 2 sticks

in the specifications

[polar badge]

oh

is this good?

pov: i change its ram and it doesnt turn on

[ionic stirrup]

nah modern gaming laptops should at least support 32 GB max

yup, it says it on the page

supports 32 GB max

[ionic stirrup]

yup, looks good

good frequency, 2 sticks, not the best latency but it should do

[polar badge]

ye i see it

2 x 8gb ram

and supports max 32gb

christ

how does this laptop weigh 2,6kg

[ionic stirrup]

🤷

[weary flame]

LMAO

Tries to put up a 18+ server link

[polar badge]

who?

[lone sandal]

whts better apex pro mini or apex pro tkl

[desert walrus]

I would go with TKL because more key and have the oled screen

[lone sandal]

idk apex pro mini seems better for fn

[pulsar fossil]

Please keep it English only :)

[main folio]

ok

[rugged tulip]

Why do you ask then?

[lone sandal]

just want to gather other peoples opinions

[rugged tulip]

I would go for the TKL

[plain sapphire]

I got mini it very nice

[zealous shore]

My apex pro tkl 2023 is arriving today

Exited to try it out

[stray heron]

Wondering if the quad cast s is a decent pick to go with for a microphone. i don’t know anything about them really

[weary flame]

What's the price?

[noble oak]

you may as well just get the quad cast

[foggy cloud]

159.99 canadian

[foggy cloud]

like the non s version?

[weary flame]

What about the Elgato Wave 3?

[noble oak]

yeah i got the non s one

and its way cheaper and the mic quality is good

[foggy cloud]

I don’t think i’ve heard of that one lemme look it up!

[foggy cloud]

damn $200 canadian, if it goes on sale i definitely would it seems like a fantastic microphone

[foggy cloud]

Difference for S mod is rgb only and nothing else? if so maybe i’ll just go for the quad cast or the elgato wave idk just yet

[noble oak]

ahh i mean rgb creates more input delay even for a mic

cuz the thing that controls the rgbs takes a tiuny bit of power or whatever away from the speed or smth i casnt remember ecaxt

[noble oak]

Anyone know much about pcs and help me get the performance I should get with my specs in fortnite?

[weary flame]

What is the PC spec?

[weary flame]

Well, you won't find anything really good then
Stick with the laptop

[bronze prawn]

going to have better hardware in a pc

[weary flame]

....?

For

1k?

Mate, what?

It depends on the components, but generally, yes
Further it's easier to change something bad

Like if your CPU is being faulty, and it's under warranty, it's just drop on replacement for example

[bronze prawn]

1k for a pc and you get way better hardware than a laptop
200-300€ price difference
like you get a a laptop with a rtx2060 barely for 1k

[weary flame]

However, unless you need one, I recommend waiting for when you have budget for something that's actually good

[weary flame]

They have a 3060

And regardless

No?

1k is a very tight budget

And if you're going with older stuff than what's in your laptop, there's very little point

In this case, I suggest staying with your laptop until you can get something that's an actual semblance of an upgrade

[bronze prawn]

jup but more than enought for a budget system
people build budget systems with 700€ or less

usually atleast rtx260 and intel i7 10th gen (or amd)
works out for most games barely a game that i cant play

[weary flame]

And it's not worth it in this case tho

[bronze prawn]

okay wait a second maiby i didnt read something.

gaming or work machine or both?

@bronze forge

[weary flame]

Regardless, it's not worth it to get a pc that's less performant, at best about the same

Just because this channel is #💻-building-a-pc doesn't mean you have to if it's not that good of an idea

If the laptop was older and the budget higher
Yeah, change

But at this point in time, it's just not useful unless there is an absolute need to

[bronze prawn]

okay i dont hate latops but for gaming its kinda critical in my opinion

Some problems you gonna burn you battery with the heat of the cpu and gpu
you battery is gonna die really fast (own experience because at the moment you plug you laptop in and play some laptops drag power over battery and its a constant charge and discharge circle)

Also the heat ....

[weary flame]

I know a lot of people who are more than fine with laptops
And most laptops these days have more of a flow through battery design so it's fine

It has down sides, yes
But those down sides don't mean you shouldn't

[bronze prawn]

propably that changed for the battery still a big turn down with the battery for me i plaed years on a shitty laptop i changed to a gaming pc and never missed my laptop again

depends if you really wanna get depressed....

nah im joking its not that bad XD

[weary flame]

Pref self build
I've got some basic ones as templates, including with a 7800X3D
Basically the fastest gaming CPU rn

[bronze prawn]

but its not easy and any forcefully damaged parts will go onto your budget
a prebuild cost around 100-150$ more.
Also any change remove the warrantie
so building by yourself with someone who have already build one or with some videos shouldnt be so bad

[weary flame]

More than 100-150

And generally also comes with bloat

The only prebuilts I can say are actually good
I think are Origin and Falcon North West?
Although both are pricier

[bronze prawn]

well atleast in europe/germany they usually take about 100% more but we have a culture of self builders here

[bronze prawn]

tis is not really true depends on the the company
some dont even install windows completly some install it completly and some even add bloatware

[weary flame]

Most have "hidden" bloatware

[bronze prawn]

Really simple fix make usb stick win11 bootstick install clean windows on it

[weary flame]

People who get prebuilts generally don't know that

[dreamy lotus]

anyone built with Aftershock?

[ionic stirrup]

depends, if you get a Framework it'll last pretty much as long than a desktop if not longer, but they're more expensive unfortunately

[weary flame]

It will last, but the upside of Framework is you can replace, practically everything, without needing to buy a new PC
You can go from 11th gen to 13th
And soon with AMD the same type of deal
You can customise IO etc

[ionic stirrup]

^

this is why my next PC will not be a desktop but a Framework laptop

[weary flame]

But Framework, inherently, isn't about lasting longer, it's the fact you can upgrade it reasonably without having to splurgle massively on a new one

[ionic stirrup]

yeah but it also means you have a laptop that can last as long as a desktop

[weary flame]

Meh, a desktop lasts as long as the next serious change, mainly CPU

[ionic stirrup]

yeah but i mean you can re-use components

[weary flame]

Changing a board on a Framework laptop is, pretty much changing the laptop fundamentally

[ionic stirrup]

Hello everyone, around 4 months ago I got a new PC but suddenly it started making loud noises just after working for 10 mins no matter what game I run on it. Does anyone know what is the problem?

Don't know your proficiency so don't be insulted by these solutions:
-Is the HDMI cord plugged into your gpu and not your mobo?
-Is the monitor set to the correct input?
-Have you checked the manual for that error message that pops on AIO pump?
-I had an HDMI cable that stopped working when I rearranged my monitors, have you tried swapping out the cable?
-Any weird lights lit up on the mobo? Maybe refrence them to the manual
-TrIed popping out CMOS battery and putting it back in?

@idle helm

[idle helm]

No lights from what i remember, basic cord and monitor stuff is checked, dont have the manual at hand unfortunately, i can try the cmos battery and see if that works, thank you!!

We had tried an hdmi and a display port cable with no luck unfortunately.
Ill have to ask him to find the manual tomorrow.
Any other possible solutions will be greatly appreciated!!

Also unrelated the cable management will be priority number 1 once this thing boots 😭

[weary flame]

Try CMOS and test ram

Maybe reseat the CPU

[bleak socket]

Any luck, brother?

I'm thinking about buying a second television monitor and moving my Xbox to another room besides the living room. I have multiple functions using my Roku TV and I double most of those options using my Xbox one. It doesn't matter what TV I choose, I'll be okay even with a cheaper priced deal that I can get hooked up with going to the room. I've found some big ass flat screen television monitors for about $20-$50 I've found them all, man. Should I get one of these or do a computer monitor? I'm clearly seeing that it's a better deal to use HDMI with a television set mounted on the wall, just wanted to check up and see if there's anything that I would be missing about using a PC monitor instead. I plan to use a capture card to take my Xbox Game Pass gaming to the big screen, which will most likely be a TV monitor. Thanks, -L Hundredstoid.

[weary flame]

PC monitors are, generally, less blaoted, give more options for colour balancing and, overall, are just friendlier imo

[idle helm]

We took it to best buy, they put in a weak gpu that didnt need drivers to run and it posted just fine.
Now i need to do that with the storage it has now, download the drivers and then put the gpu im using back in!

So silly, so so silly

[bleak socket]

Glad you got it resolved

[bleak socket]

PC Monitors also prioritize latency, super important for gaming. A lot of TVs have a "gaming mode" option that prioritizes latency over post-processing. Where you getting giant 20 dollar big screens btw?

Hey guys

Do you think Apex 7 TKL worth buying ?

[stuck thicket]

Hey y’all, random but I’m kinda desperate. I repasted my PC as it had been running hot for a while, but it’s still running hot. Please DM if you might be able to help (add me if it doesn’t let you). Thank you

[lost pasture]

Which cpu are you running?

[sterile current]

no apex pro a lot better + there are better keyboards for the same price as the apex 7

[stuck thicket]

i7 9700k I believe

[shut viper]

What's wrong with apex 7 tkl

I was thinking buying apex 7 tkl brown switches

[sterile current]

ewwwww

red switches better

u can get faster keyboard for same price

[shut viper]

Ew ? C'mon dude

Be better

It's my opinion

Red is quiet for me

[sterile current]

brown switches are so bad

[shut viper]

Okay can someone else give an opinion ?

No offense but I don't want to deal with children right now

[sterile current]

i’m not children

why u want loud

if you want loud get blue

[shut viper]

Sure

[sterile current]

brown switches feel weird

[shut viper]

Brown is between blue and red

It's not as loud as blue but you can feel the clicky feeling

And it's almost as quiet as red

Brown is just red with clicky effect

What's the weird part ?

[stuck thicket]

Get a job idk 😭

[onyx shell]

nice pc

[stuck thicket]

Thanks

Just upgraded the case recently

[lunar garnet]

employers do NOT appreciate my cs2 odor (jk😭 )

[stuck thicket]

haha

[onyx shell]

just make sure to clean ur fans, and u should be good

also what specs is it

[stuck thicket]

Yeah I know they're a little dusty, but I tried cleaning them before and it was still loud (that was with the old case)

I'm wondering maybe it's an issue with the cooler itself (my CPU is hot, but I just repasted it yesterday)

Occasionally it'll quiet down which baffles me though

[onyx shell]

it probably is, not 100% sure tho

[weary flame]

Tighten the cooler
If you comfortable reseat and repaste the GPU
OTherwise ask NZXT for warranty things

Oh wait you repasted it

Weird

COuld be a dead pump

[lost pasture]

Cooling my bad
Feel the pipes see if they are vibrating

If their not vibrating it's a deadpump

[stuck thicket]

Is this safe to do while the PC is on?

[lost pasture]

Yes

Just feel the pipes nothing else

[stuck thicket]

ok sooo

I did feel a faint vibration

but my bottom fan isn't spinning at all 😅

[weary flame]

That shouldn't do it tho

[stuck thicket]

oh well that's the GPU fan, that's probably why it's not spinning as I am not using the GPU

[weary flame]

I think your AIO might be dead

How old is it?

[stuck thicket]

oho, very old

like

Let me think here

5-6 years at least...

[weary flame]

yeah

Probably dead

[stuck thicket]

Damn

So it can be dead even if the fan is spinning and the pump seems to be working? Idk how AIO works

[weary flame]

I don't think the pump is working

Especially if it's an Asetek rebrand

[lost pasture]

Light vibration indicates that it is on its way out

[weary flame]

or it's the fan

[stuck thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/snake-salute-mgs3-gif-9277925

I probably ought to get a new one

[lost pasture]

5-6 years is good ammount of time for a pump though might be an idea to thinking about upgrade to a new water cooler or aircooler 🙂

[stuck thicket]

Well it's served me well, could I get another AIO?

[weary flame]

Also see if you can get at least a 240 radiator if you want one

[stuck thicket]

Ok, why's that

[weary flame]

More cooling area, cools better

[stuck thicket]

some of these have multiple fans

[weary flame]

I need to see, but I suggest to not get an Asetek rebrand

[lost pasture]

Can you fit 2 120mm fans at the top or front of the case if so get a 240. But check your case specs to see if you can fit it before buying 🙂

[weary flame]

They're not as cheap generally, but they are way better performance and live longer

[stuck thicket]

This is another PC (not mine) in my house, and there are more fans. Should I try and do it like this? I really don’t know what I’m doing at all

[stuck thicket]

Ok, I have the NZXT H5 flow

Wait this pc doesn’t use an AIO does it?

[lost pasture]

No

[weary flame]

Nope

[lost pasture]

H5 can use an 240 at the top or an 280 at the front

[stuck thicket]

My friend said he has 9 fans, why would he need 9 fans?

[sterile current]

to keep coolee

my new buiild will have 13 or 14

i forget

[stuck thicket]

The PC I sent above has just 3

Why not use an AIO

My case can only fit 4 fans

[sterile current]

tf what case

[stuck thicket]

Case is built for airflow somehow idk

[sterile current]

can fit 6

one on the back

and bottom

[stuck thicket]

The bottom has one built in

But yea the pic shows more than 4 lmao

[sterile current]

still counts as being able to fit 6 fans

[stuck thicket]

Well I’ll consider

[onyx shell]

I have only three fans, enough for the pc to cool down when I play intensive games

[idle helm]

Ive completed everything!! Now the build runs well, gonna test some games tomorrow with my cousin

Thanks for the help!!

Try to plug them into a different argb header

It might be too mich for that single header

[coral crane]

Might be cuz they either don’t have rgb lights or you have to install the motherboard software to enable the lights, but it could be other things, idk

[stuck thicket]

I just saw how much cheaper fans were, should I get fans instead

I render sometimes on this PC, I thought I read AIOs were better for rendering but not sure how much that matters or if it is true

[weary flame]

They tend to keep temps lower

[obsidian bluff]

I9 or i7 what's better

[fervent bane]

well i9 but it depends on the gen and speed

you need a good cooler for an i9 too

who can help me for create a config at 3k5 for gaming, streaming, and design plz

[stuck thicket]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how many fans I should buy, and which ones I should buy. I have an NZXT H5 Flow case, and I'm thinking about getting a Be Quiet! cooler, not sure which yet. The image below is how many fans can fit in the case total. Right now I have the bottom GPU fan and an AIO - that's it. Thanks

[weary flame]

What's the AIO size?

[stuck thicket]

I don't know the exact size, sorry — I don't even know the model. It's NZXT and kind of looks like this, but is older (I got it probbaly 5-7 years ago atp)

just one fan with the cooler but it isn't RGB

[weary flame]

I suggest to go with at leastr a 240

[stuck thicket]

Well I was considering moving away from an AIO and just doing air cooling now

But I've never done air cooling and have no clue what I'm doing lol

[stuck thicket]

I'm basically wondering if I need 5 fans (one on the back, 2 on top, and 2 in front)

[weary flame]

You can get away with a relatively cheap air cooler that works great

[stuck thicket]

I was looking at Be Quiet!, haven't chosen one yet but I have heard good things

[weary flame]

Peerless Assassin 3 is good iirc

[noble oak]

What should I do to fix this bug

[shell crater]

try factory reseting your keyboard from the onboard panel then reload gg

[formal socket]

please help idk what im doing

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P7QTt7

[weary flame]

Only thing I can really say is to get a B series board
If you're going ITX, probably don't go with an X sku, they run way hotter

[opaque pebble]

hello again guys can someone take a look for my assembly list (is it good and if i should change anything)
x com: https://www.x-kom.pl/lista/mgaag6ttc

[silver portal]

don't take 2 single ram sticks

take a pack of two, I'd recommend a 6000/6400 mhz Cl30/32

[weary flame]

Also, see if you can find another GPU for that price, the 4060ti is, overpriced to say the least
A 6700 or better will outperform it, and it should be cheaper generally

[silver portal]

And I think that Asus 4060ti has and higher price than other 4060ti

Also there is the 14th gen Intel series if you want that

[weary flame]

And don't go with a k CPU with a B series board, Intel locks CPU's down unless you have a Z series board

[silver portal]

And there are also SUPER graphics card coming out

[weary flame]

Minimal improvements unless you can use the 4 extra e cores

[silver portal]

yes the improvements aren't the greatest

if you want to go with an i7 i'll recommend i7 13700k/14700k and with that you must take a Z790 and not a B series mobo

[weary flame]

Anyway, condensing it down:
Go for 2 sticks of RAM, not just one
try to find a better GPU, a 6700 or better on AMD probably
Try to get another CPU or get a non k 13700

[silver portal]

nah

non k i7 wtf

non K cpu nowadays doesnt make any sense

[weary flame]

I would even recommend an 12700 with how cheap it is

[weary flame]

A k doesn't either

So your point being?

And it's not like you can overclock on a B series board

[silver portal]

ye that what i said

[weary flame]

You don't have to take a Z series baord

That's my point

Especialyl not if you're cost limited
And then you can spare even more money by going with a non-k SKU

[silver portal]

well, yes if you want to go with that budget and an i7 of one of the latest gen

How do I choose a good enough harddisk?

I have been wanting to buy a 2 new HDDs for my PC for mirror raid setup, but like does it really matter what harddiscs I choose?

[weary flame]

I suggest to just use SSD's, they're cheap and they are way more reliable

And why would you want mirror raid?

[subtle sleet]

i have already lost my boot drive once, dont want that to happen agian

So I am thinking of getting either a WD Blue 4 TB (WD40EZAX) or a Seagate IronWolf 4TB (ST4000NE001)

and I cannot get an m.2 nor PCIe to m.2 adapter, because of my motherboard, and a SSD costs at least twice as much as an HDD.

I don't need speed just capacity and reliability

plus by setting them up in raid 1 I can almost double the normal HDD read speed, almost.

[weary flame]

HHDs

Literally have worse capacity

And you're "doubling" speed
By halfing storage

SSD's, now, are leagues more reliable than HDD's

[subtle sleet]

So what SSD do you recommend?

[weary flame]

A lot of them are good, Samsung ones particularly

You can just get them in SATA too

Won't be as fast, still faster, and it won't require M.2

Case-Corsair Obsidian Series 1000D Super-Tower Case CPU- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D -GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition RAM- Trident Z5 Neo

[weary flame]

Okay

Real quick

Are you doing a custom liquid loop?

[old vector]

Probably maybe

[weary flame]

Yes or no

Did you ever build a PC before?

[old vector]

No I was just going to watch a step by step tutorial on how to build a PC

[weary flame]

Okay

Don't go for a custom loop

Get a smaller case

[old vector]

I was actually just getting the 1000D case why I can have a lot of fans to keep it cool I know it don’t need a lot but to keep it on the safe side and why I can have a lot of speed and performance

[weary flame]

You

Won't need those

at all

The 1000D case is a show off case, mainly for liquid loops

It won't impact much

[old vector]

Speaking of which all I’m missing in my build is Fans and CPU Coolers

[weary flame]

I suggest to go for something like, a Fractal North and an AIO

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ttt9TW/ek-aio-280-d-rgb-116-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-ek-aio-280-d-rgb

Something like this one

[old vector]

Can you find me one that is Stealth Blackout Black with absolutely zero RGB?

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/smDkcf/arctic-liquid-freezer-ii-280-728-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00066a

Or this one

[old vector]

I can fit 4 480 Radiators and 18 fans

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Y6Crxr/fractal-design-meshify-c-atx-mid-tower-case-fd-ca-mesh-c-bko-tg

And get something like this for a case

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Jk7scf/lian-li-o11-vision-atx-mid-tower-case-pc-o11vx

Or something like this for more "show off"

Actually I think only the Lian Li case will fit a 4090, and that's if you go FE

[old vector]

Ok

[weary flame]

Okay, iy should fit all 4090's

The Lian Li one

[old vector]

So which RAM did you pick the CL30-40-40-96 or the CL32-38-38-96?

[weary flame]

32-38-38-96

But like I said, I don't think you'll run at that speed, ever

Not reliably

Also, update BIOS

[old vector]

So that one’s better ok thank you

[weary flame]

Get either of these two

Also, clean your screen

Actually, one second

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MrvD4D/ek-nucleus-aio-cr360-dark-72-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-3831109900178

This one's bigger, should fit the Lian Li case

[old vector]

I thought the EK was for Water Cooking?

Oh nvm

So the EK Nucleus AIO is better than the Silent Loop 2 360mm Liquid Freezer II 360 the NH-D15 chromax.black the Dark Rock Pro 4

[weary flame]

It's one of the few I recommend....?

@weary flame Hey Berry I got all the information I could on the 5 X670E motherboards for the Ryzen 9 7950X3D I was wondering if that information you could help me pick the very best one overall

[weary flame]

Ignore the biostar

And then get whichever works better for your build

The difference aren't that big

The boards bring very little changes generally

In performance, that is

[old vector]

Ok thank you

[slim yew]

Ryzen 7600x + rtx 4070 super for 1440p very bottleneck?

[weary flame]

Not a very big one

If you wanna save some money and RT performance, a 7800 or 6800XT should be cheaper and still great performance

[nimble pasture]

What's some pretty cheap (below 1k €) gaming pc?

Only monitor, tower and keyboard

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YDt8W4

This is a very low budget one

Should be easy to squeeze a monitor and keyboard in there I think

At least, US

[nimble pasture]

Alr thx

Tho I don't want the graphics card to be absolutely garbage

[weary flame]

7800XT/6800XT is really good

[severe shadow]

Can someone help me upgrade my pc

i dont know what to get

[weary flame]

What's your budget?

[severe shadow]

500

[weary flame]

7700xt should be a good one then

[severe shadow]

dont i have to buy more or is that good enough?

[weary flame]

That would do a lot tbh

[severe shadow]

okay thx

[weary flame]

One second actually

[severe shadow]

okay

[weary flame]

if you want more CPU power, you can go with a 6700/6750XT and a Ryzen 5600

But just that GPU should do a lot of perf upliting

[severe shadow]

i cant find a 6750/6700xt

do you know where i can get one?

[weary flame]

Where do you live?

Country wise

[severe shadow]

belgium

[weary flame]

ooooooooh

https://be.pcpartpicker.com/product/c3RYcf/powercolor-fighter-radeon-rx-6700-xt-12-gb-video-card-axrx-6700xt-12gbd6-3dh

[severe shadow]

thx

[weary flame]

https://be.pcpartpicker.com/product/TxTZxr/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-7700-xt-12-gb-video-card-11335-04-20g

Get this

The price on the 6700 is higher than expected

And thi shas a meaninfgful uplift

[severe shadow]

okay

[severe shadow]

but this one costs more?

what is better to buy first the ryzen 5600 or the radeon rx 6700?

[weary flame]

Together it'll be above 500

Clmoser to 650

However, you'll see a lot of uplift with a 7700

[severe shadow]

so i just buy the 7700 and then after that maybe upgrade more?

[weary flame]

Yeah, latere

You'll see the most uplift purely by GPU

[severe shadow]

but everything can handle the 7700 right?

[weary flame]

Yeah

Wait

Yeah it can handle it

Just making sure

[toxic jay]

help me build my PC with either an RTX 4070Ti or an RTX 4080 with a maximum budget of 4k for the PC and between 2 to 3 for the keyboard ect... I would like a 360hz screen but I don't know if its profitable or not(
I forgot to specify but I am French and I come from Belgium)

[weary flame]

https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/PQhhBL

3.4k for the PC alone

You can change the 4090 to, like, a 4080 or even a 7900XTX if you want more budget for other things

Further, I think 360hz screens aren't really worth it unless you're an esports player and those actually do matter

[full thicket]

u should just save up to 800 so u can get a 3060ti prebuilt

[neon timber]

so right now, im rockin an alienware aurora r7 that i got as a gift years ago. does anyone have a partpicker list or something they recommend is better? im most looking for more fps and with the 1050 ti i have right now, i get about 120 on, for example, rainbow six siege. im not looking to get something straight away, so my budget is fairly open, although id be hoping to spend no more than 2k aud. i dont know nearly anything about pc's but ive been told that building one is cheaper than prebuilt, its not hard to do, and my pc isnt exactly up to date. thanks in advanced

[flat shard]

Hello ! I'd like to build a pc config but, i don't know what component take in spite of my knowledge. Please who can help me for build a config for 4k for gaming,streaming,and montage.
Thanks

[weary flame]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/tfGKGP

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WrncmD

Something like this

You have like 1k left for other things like monitors etc

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil lmao they're at it again

[pulsar fossil]

ty

[flat shard]

Thanks you !

[heady zealot]

is a R5 5600x with a 3060 12gb good?

[neon timber]

sorry to ask more questions, but how many fps would this get from your knowledge? and would this also be good to edit videos?

[weary flame]

It has a 4090

So it'll be good

The 7800X3D overall is also the CPU which will give you the highest FPS overall

[weary flame]

Do you need any Nvidia features?
RT on a 3060 won't work great, so I suggest, for the price they sell, instead a 6700 or 7700, if you can find it, a 6800

[heady zealot]

i already have the 3060, i dont see an issue personally with it but i just wanna see others opinions

[weary flame]

For CPU then?

What's your budget

[heady zealot]

nah im saying i already have both, i just wanna see what yall think

i do wanna upgrade soon

but idk what i should get,

[low niche]

I’m pretty sure the bottleneck is less than 1% so yeah they pair fairly well for gaming

[low niche]

A upgrade isn’t necessary but if you do want one I would say to upgrade to a newer gen cpu and mobo
