The issue is more so that SLI cards are hard to comby, and rarely works

hey guys, i have a problem with my storage and can comeone help me out? my ssd is 512gb only and im starting to lose a lot of space but i only have one ssd slot but i know that if i swap it with a 1tb ssd it will reset everything and i have to get windows all over again but i dont want that to happen. how can i keep all of my data on my 512gb ssd and transfer it all to the 1tb ssd so i dont have to reinstall windows and all of my apps?

#

they make PCIe adaptors for SSDs so you can mount it in an HDD slot

#

With SATA you can basically just stick it anywhere as long as you have the plugs for it, if it's m.2 you can get a mounting kit to put it in an unused PCIe slot. You can also turn your old SSD into an external drive via a usb-to-SATA kit. the sky's the limit

prime ginkgo
#

i really have no idea of how to do that i am very stupid with pc building 😆

main tundra
#

that's a-okay.

#

SATA are gonna be the larger flattish ones like a sandisk or samsung ssd, m.2 are gonna be smaller and almost look like RAM turned sideways

prime ginkgo
#

alrighty

#

ty for the help

npnp.

uneven shale
#

is this monitor a good pick

#

I'm on a budget of 3000 dollars

uneven shale
main tundra
#

hmmm

uneven shale
#

I have 1400 dollars left

main tundra
#

the reviews are pretty good but the aspect ratio sucks lmao

#

16:9

uneven shale
#

well.

#

this aint great

main tundra
#

for the price it ain't bad

uneven shale
#

true

#

I want a really good monitor for my build

uneven shale
main tundra
#

that means that's as high as it'll go without distortion

main tundra
#

you can put the resolution higher, but bearing in mind that it'll contort to 16:9

uneven shale
#

I have no idea what you're saying

#

you might as well speak enchantment table to me

main tundra
#

it's like stretching a foot of fabric over 18 inches of frame

#

it'll work, but it'll look weird

uneven shale
#

ok

#

then nah

#

I would like a normal looking monitor

main tundra
#

currently 16:9 is like 'industry standard'

uneven shale
main tundra
#

so it'll be fine for basically everything you want it to do. but if you wanna like. watch something in 4k it's gonna look a little pixellated

uneven shale
#

yeah no then I want to ball out a bit

#

are there any good 200 hz monitors under 400?

main tundra
#

don't bother

#

your eye can't go above 144 anyway

#

it'll start to look hyperrealistic and give you a headache

uneven shale
#

ah.

#

144 then

#

sir

main tundra
#

i have an asus i got in 2020 for 199 that's pretty solid,

main tundra
#

in some cases you can almost get away with buying a TV instead

uneven shale
#

wha

#

A TV???

main tundra
#

the manufacturing is essentially the same now

uneven shale
#

no way

main tundra
#

no foolin

uneven shale
#

it looks like an amazing deal

main tundra
#

monitors will have less input lag but you can compensate through settings by turning off automatic smoothing

uneven shale
#

ok

#

but I need an answer

#

is that monitor good

main tundra
#

not terrible. good for the price

uneven shale
#

hooray

main tundra
#

i personally dislike curved displays but that's because my eyesight is a little wonky

uneven shale
#

I like them a lot

main tundra
#

now ! my good nerd i must go to work o/ glad to have been of assistance

uneven shale
#

have a nice day

main tundra
#

you as well

Yeah kinda my thoughts too i looked at their amazon storefront its literally just 5 gpus from sapphire ranging from the 7800xt to the 7900xtx all being sold for incredibly low prices saying they are on sale

But the seller has 1 review and thats it

Thinking of getting a new graphics card, the budget is £900, need it to run warzone, Fortnite, cs2, gta and more at around 200 fps, any recommendations or things I should know before buying a graphics card

somber bloom
# weary flame 7900XTX?

Is there anything else I would need to know whilst getting a 7900, like any cpu requirements or other parts?

7900 XTX for close to 900 pounds

There is an XT and a GRE
And like, GRE is named, fine ig, the XT isn't

frigid cypress
#

Hey guys, how much do you nerd around when adjusting a new BIOS? I fine tuned my DRAM to the appropriate frequency but that's it, do you have some other standard settings that you review?

somber bloom
#

XTX performs the best I’m guessing

#

Also if I was to play on high graphics what would be an estimate on fps

lucid belfry

I think i screwed up... I got a i7-13700k a bit ago (from an i5 7th gen cpu) and I have an rx 580... I cant get a new gpu till December

MyMIDI is starter code for customizing your MIDI. It supports SteelSeries Sonar for multi-channel audio. Some games allow you to play music in them using letters on your keyboard. There's an example profile how you can map buttons on your MIDI to keystrokes, so you can jam out on your MIDI.

You can launch applications and set macros to each button on your device. MyMIDI is built in RUST and is lightweight, so you can keep it running in the background without it hogging resources.

Created MIDI software that supports multichannel audio control via SteelSeries Sonar. You can use buttons as hot keys to open SteelSeries GG or a terminal or VS code. A midi also looks pretty sweet in a PC setup. It's set up for Genshin as a demo profile, so you can play the Lyre using piano keys. Written in Rust. Doesn't waste resources. 0% CPU and 1.5 MB ram, making it a lightweight alternative to heavy MIDI software.

Random question

#

(Don't know if the corsair link system is worth the extra $200 just to avoid the headache of fan cable management plus iCue support)

weary flame
#

Generally fans have chaining, whichis good
It really depends on "do i want to spend 200 bucks on this system?"

#

Also you have to use iCue

rose bough
#

So it's just a matter of which has the better RGB basically

(Logitech mouse, corsair keyboard)

Should i upgrade my CPU or my GPU first ?

  • GTX 1650 Super
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600

It's a PC from 2019, and i feel like upgrading it soon. My GPU is a bit older, like 1 year or maybe 2.

#

Most of the time i play Battlefield 2042 & FiveM / Singleplayer Grand Theft Auto V.

I've looked at a RTX 4060, but i'm unsure what to upgrade, and if a 4060 would be too powerfull for my CPU.

#

Your cpu is pretty good still, I have a friend who has a 4060 with that cpu

#

Just make sure you have the psu for it

Sorry, i'm a bit new to this upgrading thing, but what is a PSU? - Is that the powersupply, or ?

ill give u some that are not really overpriced and still good
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070
-AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080-Not more powerfull than RTX 3060Ti and 3070 but still good
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (Non-Ti)-same performance as the RTX 4060 myb 2-7 fps difference

#

out of all of them i only know for the RX 6700XT is capabe to run 4k gaming,the rest of the gpu-s can do 1080p adn 1440p

#

if you would like the games to look better i would recommen a 2k monitor with minimum 144hz and 27 inch

#

if u have any other questions i would be more than happy to answer them and help you🙂

#

Does that still mean, that i can use RX6700?

i9 9900k with a 4060ti gtood or bad ?

bottlenecks in every pc, impossible to avoid. upgrade gpu first if youre gaming

paper vector
#

How much RAM do you have

lusty hinge
#

he has a 2060. 16gb is enough

lusty hinge
#

its ddr4 standard unless youve got a janky prebuilt

#

most are sold 2x8

#

he hasnt specified anything so im assuming standard

paper vector
#

minimum req for 2060 is 8gb, so we cant assume he is running the recommended

#

if he has 8gb ram should be the top of his list

lusty hinge
#

he likely doesnt have 8gb if hes running red dead 2

#

theres a lot of things with minimum reqs that just arent followed due to it being a weird minimum

#

youll often only find 8gb in prebuilts or extremely budget builds

#

or ddr3 machines

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

very minimum requirements yeah

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

i5 isnt specific whatsoever

#

hes running a 10400

#

i5 cpus are plenty for gaming

#

assuming he has 16gb of ram, he should upgrade gpu.
if he has 8gb, he should upgrade both ram and gpu

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

a 10400 pairs alright with a 2060, but he should be upgrading his gpu (+ ram)

#

cpu can come later

paper vector
#

for example a rx 5700 would be okay for gaming

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

which would be gpu, and ram if necessary

paper vector
#

depending what ram he has, its important he doesnt crah trying to load a texture

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

most people run 16gb. its the most common i find. the only times ive ever seen 1x8 is in people getting scammed with a crappy prebuilt, or in places like colleges that are just trying to make things run

#

ddr4 can be bought at like £30 for 2x8. granted its corsair vengeance ram.. but its still 16gb

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

oh yeah of course, i just used that as a quick example as it was all i remembered lol

paper vector
lusty hinge
#

haha yeah. it always depends on whats already in the build and its usually already got 16gb, which leads to a gpu upgrade

#

but yeah, yours too

Hey yall, my friend is building their first PC and they have an incentive to go big with their build, they play demanding games and use their PC commonly. I wanted to know if a build like this looks good and if I should know anything before I order this for them.

#

don't install more than 2 RAM sticks

inland sandal
#

i’ve been running 4 forever

lusty hinge
#

ideally you want 2

lusty hinge
#

samsung SSDs are overpriced garbo

#

get a thermalright peerlass assassin for the cpu cooler

#

should be same price + its bigger, better and comes with thermal paste

lusty hinge
#

also, youd want a 1440p monitor for that build

lusty hinge
#

if you want to stick with NVIDIA GPUs then go for a 4080 super. its 90 USD more

#

if you want a different cpu cooler go for a thermalright peerlass assassin

#

if youre on a strict $1650 budget then you can save a lot of money and go for a 7600/7500f

#

or drop the gpu down to a 7900 xt

#

if you dont already have a monitor and it was necessary to buy then save for a 1440p and change gpu and cpu to 7600 and 7900xt

stuck thicket
#

@lusty hinge Will the peerless assassin clear the TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z ram

lusty hinge
#

i use the thermalright coolers a lot, especially the peerlass assassin. great cooler. raising the fan will have miniscule differences compared to it being clipped all the way

stuck thicket
#

Hmm... ok. I have to eat dinner but I'll be back later

#

I've been procrastinating getting an air cooler and fans for MONTHS bc I am paranoid i will get smth wrong

#

CPU’s been running hot for months 😅 AIO is old

lusty hinge
#

haha fair enough

#

which cpu is it you have? @stuck thicket

stuck thicket
lusty hinge
#

ah nice

#

peerlass assassin should be great then. with a tdp of 95 watts itll be fine

#

7800x3d has a tdp of 105 watts and runs excellent with air cooling

stuck thicket
#

Any fan recommendations? I’ve got the NZXT H5 Flow, which can fit this, but I don’t know which to put and if I need all of them

lusty hinge
#

hm

#

depends what youre willing to spend on fans@stuck thicket

#

id just get a couple thermalright ones tbh

#

but ill take a look

lusty hinge
lusty hinge
#

if theyre in packs of 3 then yoy can just buy that twice to cover all of the available fan spaces

#

it should come with a fan hub if yoy buy a multi pack

#

Thanks for the help

#

I'll probably buy these tomorrow

#

Not in a purchasing mood

#

(idk)

stuck thicket
lusty hinge
#

its really easy to install though

#

the fans go on with little clips

#

you can just move the clip up higher to make room for the ram

#

the heatsink goes on with a couple screws and standoffs

lusty hinge
stuck thicket
#

does the heatsink come with the cooler

rancid raft
#

Fan>heatsink>fan>heatsink

lusty hinge
#

#

those little clips through the fan and on the side of the radiator are what i was on about. you can just move the front fan up a bit for some clearance

rancid raft
# lusty hinge ideally you want 2

Are you saying that 2 x16 is better than 4x 16 or just 4x 8? (Of course 4x 16 is unneccessary, but I would imagine its just as good, just with more unneccessary headroom right?)

lusty hinge
#

2x32 is better

#

2x16 is better in speeds. in capacity 4x16 obviously wins

#

dual channel performance is always preferred

rancid raft
#

But unless its a server rig i thought 4x would run dual channel, just with two stick per channel

lusty hinge
#

iirc its not as stable as standard a1 and b1.

rancid raft
#

Ah yeah i remember LTT mentioning something about interference

lusty hinge
#

yeah, ive just checked again and they can be janky sometimes

#

4 sticks of ram doesnt really run well on high frequencies and/or low timings and isnt the best for interference

#

RAM sticks are in ranks for the motherboard and most motherboards like to have two ranks in a channel

#

most boards like if you have sticks that are dual ranked in a single channel, or 4 sticks that are all single ranked

#

8gb sticks of ram are usually single rank which on paper would run better in quad channel, but unless you have specific ram dies and specific motherboards that support a good quad channel, itll be worse

#

so when using 8gb sticks youd want dual channel

#

16gb sticks of ram are usually dual rank which runs best in dual channel anyway

Does anyone wanna help me know if I should upgrade or just buy a new pc?

foggy glacier
#

And what do you want to be able to do on it

#

Usually worth it to upgrade rather than buy a new one imo but there are exceptions

night kayak
foggy glacier
#

Just for the sake of future proofing I would personally suggest buying a newer pc, mainly because the LGA-1151 socket that your cpu uses does not support any current gen cpus or future gen cpus

#

For a new pc I would lean towards an amd cpu cs of future proofing availability

#

However if you are ok with waiting a bit until the 15th gen intel cpus a new socket would be available and probably last longer than the am5 chipset will

#

Gpu wise if you plan on sticking with an i7 or the r5 to r7 range I would suggest a 7800xt for 1440p or 7700 for 1080p

#

That’s for raw price to performance mainly because of your budget

#

If you wanted to operate at 4k I would definitely switch to a 4080 super

#

As the 4090 remains overkill and held back by even the 7900x3d

#

For your budget 1080p fits

#

However finding a prebuilt that matches this for your price range is… difficult

#

If you’re willing to go a bit over

#

I suggest

#

Something like this:

#

I’m not sure about the quality of prebuilts from various vendors, as I mainly make pcs for myself and others

#

So I would look into this more

#

i got a question which gpu is better 7900xtx or 480

#

4080

#

i could care less about dls

#

and other things like ray tracing

#

i just want a powerful gpu

#

the 4090 is a workstation gpu to be honest waste of money

Honestly at this point it's just whicever you can get at a cheaper price. They're both pretty evenly matched in raster performance and if "extra" features like DLSS or frame generation aren't a priority I'd say just buy based on price, but you'll probably have better luck finding a Radeon on discount than a GeForce

to the beloved steelseries community
do you all know an pc case to recommend that would fit with the ascetic and style of steelseries products?

#

if its helpful here an list with the steelseries peripherals I want to have next to my steup

  1. arena 9
  2. aerox 9
  3. alias pro

#

Right now I’m thinking about cpu

#

I don’t if I should get a water cooler or air cooler

lusty hinge
#

what cpu

median pulsar
#

For the AMD ryzen 7 7800x3d

lusty hinge
#

air cooler

#

water cooling for aesthetics but the 7800x3d runs just fine on a decent air cooler

median pulsar
#

Ok

#

Best the AMD cpu are powerful

lusty hinge
#

id recommend the peerless assassin

median pulsar
lusty hinge
#

its better

median pulsar
#

Ok

#

Tysm for the help man I appericate it man

lusty hinge
#

this cooler is great for the price

#

its on amazon for like 30 quid

median pulsar
#

Is the deep cool and be quiet are goofy cpu cooler

lusty hinge
#

theyre usually pretty expensive coolers

#

theyre alright though

median pulsar
#

The price is good

lusty hinge
#

yeah its alright

median pulsar
#

Bc right now my price build is 1,904

#

I just put the deep cool ak620 zero dark

#

It’s 66

lusty hinge
#

nice

#

are you using USD?

#

1900 is a fair amount

median pulsar
#

Yep it’s my jobs

#

Job money

#

It’s pretty good for a computer

lusty hinge
#

nice

#

what parts is it youre planning on getting

#

for 1900 id assume 7800x3d and 4080 super

lusty hinge
#

what exactly does that mean

#

most of the products are just black with a bit of rgb in it

umbral bramble
#

The aesthetic from steelseries

lusty hinge
#

yeah cuz they just look different

thats 1tb

austere basalt
#

he sent 4tb so idk

lusty hinge
#

4tb of nvme is where his budget prolly went lol

#

he can get some SATA ssds or just add more if he needs

austere basalt
#

still missing money for the fans

#

and mybe too much for the psu

lusty hinge
#

bad SSD, PSU and case

austere basalt
#

idk

lusty hinge
#

samsung ssds are overpriced

austere basalt
austere basalt
#

but when on deal i think is pretty god

lusty hinge
#

psu isn't that great, should aim for an A tier

austere basalt
#

bought one for 120

lusty hinge
#

oh lmfao nevermind, mustve misread

austere basalt
#

dark power 13 in general no watt limit so i think it is still a tier or i m wrong?

austere basalt
lusty hinge
#

its still significantly more expensive than the one i linked

austere basalt
austere basalt
#

for the case he wanted something particular like a fishtank so idk

lusty hinge
#

aye fair

#

id choose a different case though

austere basalt
#

if he dont need so much ssd he can buy a 1tb cheap one

lusty hinge
#

then you could go with tl-c12 thermalright case fans

austere basalt
#

noice

#

let's start a business now

umbral bramble
lusty hinge
#

get 2 2tb nvme

austere basalt
#

yeah probably the cheapest way

austere basalt
#

saw that intel get rid of multi threading so now less threads and probably the ghz will be lower that the 14th gen cpus, but 2nm and better ipc so hoping for really better performances, or i will probably go amd next gen. (i'm still stuck with ddr4 rams atm)

lusty hinge
#

depends what you want

#

amd for gaming intel for productivity at the minute

austere basalt
#

just waiting end 2024 to confirm it

lusty hinge
#

50 series gpus should be q4 or q1 2025

#

so yeah wait a bit

austere basalt
#

from what i saw q4 gonna be 5080 and 90 and q1 the other ones

lusty hinge
#

not confirmed iirc

#

speculation

austere basalt
#

just rumors

#

yeah

#

but today i read that dell got leaked all their roadmap

#

so now we know when the next cpu gonna be on the market

lusty hinge
#

not heard it but probably

austere basalt
#

yeah, i gotta go now, see u ❤️

Since this is the entirely space I can offer my new setup

lusty hinge

just changed the SSDs to 2x2tb ones

umbral bramble
#

No offence
But I want to go with the Arc A770

lusty hinge
#

thats fine. let me check price of it

#

iirc its cheaper though so it saves you moneyy

umbral bramble
#

And it almost competes with an rx 7600XT

lusty hinge
#

significant price reduction

#

could probably get a better cpu or different case, cooler or motherboard

umbral bramble
#

I'll look up to it
And don't get me wrong
There is a philosophy I'm chasing (or it's my ocpd that fucking me up)
When it comes to pc parts I want to archive an goal with brands where I only take an limited amount of brands in order to have an better economy and a compatability

lusty hinge
#

i mean at the end of the day its all just hardware

#

brands for the most part just shell things

#

like all rtx 4090s are just 4090s with different designs

#

you dont really want to be using the crappy software they all come with

umbral bramble
#

yesn't, somehow I want to and otherwise I don't

umbral jetty
#

No, when you want to say yes and no at the same time you should say yesn’t

umbral bramble
#

Ok but back to the topic
I'm somehow really fascinated from the idea of controlling your entire setup with one app (the inspiration came from corsair iCUE link technology) and I was like "hey, what if there are other brands doing this similar and offering more performance when I buy more stuff from the same brand

#

But the reason why I stay away from corsair is because of the community telling me that the iCUE software is garbage and brings the pc most of the time to crash

lusty hinge
#

yeah the softwares rubbish but again

#

you dont really want any of it

#

the only one you reallyneed is uhh

#

cant remember what its called its open source and controls most rgb though

umbral bramble
lusty hinge
#

ill take a look for it now

austere basalt
#

yeah, if u have time i appreciate it, atm i m using like 3 rgb apps and i m going crazy

#

seems like a softwares from windows 7, no user friendly and un-optimized

lusty hinge
#

@austere basalt
openrgb, signalrgb

#

they both work

Icue does more than controlling the rgb

Not bad

#

I got a question if I can’t get amd for whatever reason what should I get

#

Intel core i7 or i5

lusty hinge
#

why cant you get amd

#

also what i7 / i5

umbral bramble
#

depends on how many threads and corns your usages will take and how fast you want your pc. i7 is better than i5, but it will be more warm and takes more electricity. besides amd is better in multicore than intel, since they focus singlecore

lusty hinge
#

you also dont need an aio for a 7800x3d

umbral bramble
#

and i can of course swap to an air cooler

lusty hinge
#

the ram cooler is completely unnecessary

#

its basically a waste of money

#

just get rgb ram if you want it to look cool

#

if youre swapping to an air cooler get a thermalright peerlass assassin

#

or something similar

umbral bramble
#

got it

lusty hinge
#

the case isnt the best for airflow and only comes with 2 fans. check the price on a 903 max or a 903 base

#

🤞

changed it, how is it now?

lusty hinge
#

thats a very expensive case + cooler
