As long as the pump is lower than the top of the radiator it's fine for an AIO

[plush shard]

Looking for a 2TB nvme for my PC because I’m upgrading from my 1tb HDD, anyone know what’s a good low-mid range nvme? Don’t wanna get the cheapest thing but also I don’t need something expensive

[jolly mirage]

maybe get samsung 970 evo plus or 980 pro

[arctic kayak]

i agree to that, i have it and i love it

[median pulsar]

In case I don’t get AMD for what reason which one should I get intel core i5 or i7 I have a 3070

I have the money it’s just making sure I got everything just need 2 things

Because I have to buy it from Best Buy

I’m going to college next year

So I have to get a laptop but the thing about it is that Amazon is cheaper then Best Buy

[lusty hinge]

this literally tells me nothing

what chip is it

theres like loads of different i5s and i7s

imo get an amd cpu if youre gaming

[median pulsar]

Intel core i5-14600k

[lusty hinge]

that ones an alright cpu

whats the price on it

[median pulsar]

291

Ima just have too get an cheap amd or something bc

Best Buy are expensive and Amazon are cheap

[lusty hinge]

christ

what are you using it for?

[median pulsar]

Abosulte just gaming and sometimes I use virtual box for Linux to practice

[lusty hinge]

just gaming? get a 7800x3d

[median pulsar]

I think it would be better to go with AMD with this one to be honest

[lusty hinge]

7800x3d best gaming cpu out rn

[median pulsar]

Is the any other cpu cheaper than that

[lusty hinge]

well yeah

[median pulsar]

I’m talking about AMD

[lusty hinge]

ryzen 7 7600

ryzen 7 7600 cpu and for motherboard get a b650m pro rs

cheap but great motherboard

i use it myself

for ram just get teamgroup 6000mhz cl30

[median pulsar]

I got a ddr5 32 gb

It’s just mobo and cpu

[lusty hinge]

yeah awesome

get a b650m pro rs

and then a ryzen 7 7600

you dont need the 7600x its basically got no difference

[pulsar fossil]

Nice Kirby. You should show your setup in #1059414196858662923

If you want to :)

[lusty hinge]

ah yeah sick i forgot about that channel

2 seconds

posted

[pulsar fossil]

Noice

[median pulsar]

Nice pc

I bought myself a next h5 flow

Should have gotten rgb but who cares

[pulsar fossil]

I have that case too :)

I have added RGB tho :D

[median pulsar]

Yeah the one thing that sucks theirs no rgb

But I put in my old fan from my other case

[pulsar fossil]

I had some NZXT Aer fans from my old case

[median pulsar]

Yeah but the one thing that scares me is the fan

Because I move them to my pc case the new one and theirs no fan header nor control I mean I can control them useing nzxt software

[pulsar fossil]

Get a controller for it?

[lusty hinge]

get a fan hub

theyre only cheap

like 20 quid at most

its just a bit of pcb and some soldered pins

[umbral bramble]

https://geizhals.de/wishlists/3818200

made a cheap list for my upcoming setup. what do you guys think

is it good enough, suits it with the vibe and aesthetics of steel-series, and so on

[lusty hinge]

RAM sucks, case sucks, ram cooler is super unnecessary

if youre gaming change cpu to 7600 and change gpu

4tb nvme is crazy

2x2tb would suit you but eh thats more nitpicky

[median pulsar]

So if I don’t have a fan header will it still run ?

Bc I don’t care about rgb

[lusty hinge]

is it a case fan?

or a cpu fan

[median pulsar]

It’s the h5 flow

With no rgb

NZXT H5 Flow Compact ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case – High Airflow Perforated Tempered Glass Front/Side Panel – Cable Management – 2 x 120mm Fans Included – 280mm Radiator Support – Black https://a.co/d/c7eRofJ

Theirs no rgb nor fan with I open it

[lusty hinge]

if the fans are daisy chained then yeah you can just plug it in to one cha_fan header and the fans will work.
if you want rgb, do the same but with an aRGB header

but what youre asking is completely dependent on motherboard lol

the case has nothing to do with if theres fan headers

[median pulsar]

I order the b650 gigabyte

[lusty hinge]

you will have enough fan headers then yeah

[median pulsar]

And the and cpu

[lusty hinge]

if not then all you do is get a fan hub

[median pulsar]

Amd cpu the ryzen 7800x3d

[lusty hinge]

nice

[median pulsar]

I don’t think I need a fan hub theirs no fan hub on the back of the case I should be fine even though theirs no rgb software in the back of the case

[lusty hinge]

rgb software in the case..?

[median pulsar]

Theirs no rgb software in the case

[lusty hinge]

software is something you install on a device

do you mean an rgb hub

[median pulsar]

Yeah

[lusty hinge]

you will likely never need one most things with rgb are daisy chain

[median pulsar]

Alr

So I think I should be good for now

The 3070 gigabyte and the AMD 7800x3d

I think I would have a lot of fps

[lusty hinge]

plenty. depends on game and settings ofc

but plenty

[median pulsar]

Ima just run on 1080p

I should get around 150-200 fps

[median pulsar]

I think I also told u guy I’m in high school well I just graduated

[twilit compass]

Hey guys did someone know if a gen 5 ssd m.2 is working on a gen 4 mainboard?

[lusty hinge]

itll work

itll just run at pcie 4 speeds

hell yeah recognised role

woop woop

[lusty hinge]

thats cool man, good job

[median pulsar]

Yeah so right now I’m going too college for a computer science and after that I want to work for the nsa

[lusty hinge]

if youre getting a motherboard with no pcie gen 5 support theres no need to spend the extra money on the gen 5 ssd. youll gain 0 benefit

[lusty hinge]

wow. sounds like a very cool plan. ive took computer science. pretty fun course

[median pulsar]

What did u learn

Did u learn html and web basics

[lusty hinge]

i dabbled in it

my course was more focused on uhhh

game development and different coding languages

also web development

so yeah actually

[median pulsar]

Theirs ruby

That’s a coding language

[lusty hinge]

plenty of languages out there

[median pulsar]

And c++ and more

I’m more too the hacking side then computer science

[lusty hinge]

i covered c#, c++, vb, html and python

[lusty hinge]

that's interesting. nice

finally putting some of my lying around parts to use

5600x, rtx 2070, 16gb 3200mhz ram, psu in picture.

SSD is an nv2 which isnt the best (not even gen 3 speeds 😢) but i wont be using it

i just have loads of spare stuff

oh, and board is an a520m-h

[median pulsar]

Ur pc not that bad for 1080 o

Man AMD been on business recently they over Intel core now

[lusty hinge]

isnt my main one

https://ibb.co/7gZYjFX

this is my main pc

[lusty hinge]

7800x3d best gaming cpu man. plus the am5 socket support until 2027-2028

[median pulsar]

That’s good bc in case something happened to my cpu I can just change it

I’m waiting for the 50 series comes

[lucid belfry]

What would be a good gpu to better match my specs:
Rx 580 (To be replaced)
intel i7-13700k
32 gb ddr5 ram

im thinking of the 3060 ti or the 6700 XT

[median pulsar]

3070 nor 3060 ti ig

[lusty hinge]

depends on budget

[median pulsar]

@lusty hinge have u heard about metasploit ?

[lucid belfry]

around $350 but can go higher. i just want the most performance for my cpu since when my gpu is at 100%, my cpu is 20-30%

[lusty hinge]

350 USD?

[lucid belfry]

yea? is that an issue? i can do higher as i say in the message

[lusty hinge]

well whats your budget then? higher means noting

is it 350 or is it something else

[median pulsar]

Just get the 3080 to

4070 t I

[lusty hinge]

why would you recommend that

we dont even know his budget

he isnt getting one of them for 350 usd

[median pulsar]

Ik gpu are very expensive

[lucid belfry]

450 is my budget

[median pulsar]

Let me check on Amazon

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rfV2FT/asrock-challenger-oc-radeon-rx-7800-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx7800xt-cl-16go

should be able to get a 7800xt

not sure on USD pricing but iirc its 450

[lusty hinge]

why amazon

[median pulsar]

Bc that’s where I shop

[lusty hinge]

but its typically not the best for gpu prices

[median pulsar]

Yeah ik

[lusty hinge]

so why would you check it then

lmfao

[median pulsar]

The best gpu for his budget is the 4060 ti

[lusty hinge]

no it isnt

@lucid belfry7800xt if its within 450 usd. if it isnt, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vKZ9TW/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-xt-16-gb-speedster-merc-319-core-video-card-rx-68xtalfd9

should be 430

[lucid belfry]

Alright tysm

[lusty hinge]

no problem

[median pulsar]

@lusty hinge I got a question have u heard about metasploit ?

[lusty hinge]

something to do with computer security afaik

[median pulsar]

AFAIK?

[lusty hinge]

as far as i know

[median pulsar]

I try using metasploit but the thing about it it’s not easy as u think

[lusty hinge]

doesn't seem it

just did a quick search about it

[median pulsar]

U got to scan the person computer for vulnerabilities

[median pulsar]

In order to exploit the person computer

[lusty hinge]

thats interesting yeah

[median pulsar]

Ik u said research but it seems hard

[old vector]

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X(399.00)(AM5)
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G(329.00)(AM5)
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X(329.00)(AM5)

AMD Ryzen 5 8600G(229.00)(AM5)
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X(229.00)(AM5)

Is the 7800X3D the best for demanding gaming?

[latent cliff]

Get an Intel

[old vector]

Is 2 140mm 1200 RPM
And 1 120mm 1500 RPM good?

[old vector]

Can I get help with preferable B650 Mobo RAM PSU and CPU Cooler plz has to be good recommended and cheap

[pulsar fossil]

Use #1059414196858662923 if you'd like to show off your setup :)

[noble oak]

okie sorry

[pulsar fossil]

No worries :)

[median pulsar]

Are workstation good for gaming ?

[scenic wave]

can you send when you get the fans from

[cosmic perch]

depends on the specs

[mortal tusk]

if no dedicated gpu, no

[lusty hinge]

7800x3d is the best cpu for gaming rn

[lusty hinge]

for gaming? why? id like to know your reasoning

[lusty hinge]

compleeeetely depends on the parts inside

[lusty hinge]

bit late, but whats your budget? and what stores do you have available? micro center?

[old vector]

4060, 4060 Ti, or 4070, 4070 Super that won’t bottleneck the 7800X3D?

[lusty hinge]

what are you doing with the pc

gaming?

[old vector]

A little bit of everything

[lusty hinge]

3d modelling? CAD engineering?

ai training?

[old vector]

Gaming, Office, Streaming, Editing, Entertainment

But mainly demanding gaming

[lusty hinge]

awesome. entertainment and office could run on literally potatos

what games do you play? at what resolutions?

and what do you edit? resolution?

[old vector]

Videos for streaming

I want to be able to play/do everything with no problems

[lusty hinge]

as much as that seems like a good answer, it isnt

what do you currently play? and at what resolution?

1440p?

[old vector]

Resolution 4K, 1440P

[lusty hinge]

get a 7600 and a better gpu

[old vector]

I think I was told 1440P is better for gaming

[lusty hinge]

technically yeah, 4ks a bit hard to run

[old vector]

Because no one plays 4K anymore

[lusty hinge]

theres more playing 4k now than there was a couple years ago

[old vector]

But the system I’m building is mainly for Demanding Gaming and Office Use and I play games like Call of Duty, Warzone, Battle Royale Games etc Resident Evil Games and a lot more

I might just build another for streaming

[lusty hinge]

do you have any of the parts yet?

[old vector]

The Case

That’s it

[lusty hinge]

did you buy any other parts?

[old vector]

No

[lusty hinge]

whats your budget

[old vector]

My plan is to make it as powerful as possible and as cheap as possible but make it high end so 1000 my currency is USD

[lusty hinge]

definitely wouldnt recommend a 7800x3d then

any aesthetic preference?

[old vector]

Black

I’ll give you the case it’s Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh C

[lusty hinge]

awesome cheers

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cf3fTY

7700xt performs about the same as an rx 6800

@old vector

theres no wifi on that motherboard if you were counting on that

actually, i lied.

theres wifi 6e support

[old vector]

Can I change the budget I’m sorry for asking that but I think I wanna go all out

[lusty hinge]

yeah sure

whats the new budget

[old vector]

How about 3000 maybe 4000

[lusty hinge]

holy

USD??

jesus christ

thats a lot

[old vector]

Yep but I’m not wanting the 4090 or 7950X3D I just want the best parts for gaming

[lusty hinge]

yeah thats lucky cuz neither of those are lmfao

well technically the 4090 is but its so stupidly priced its crap

[old vector]

Yeah I’m not trying to spend a 1000 on just a GPU alone

And that’s literally the 4090 in a nutshell lol

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WG72sh

1.9k
got lazy and didnt mark case as bought

youll get more bang for your buck with a 7900xtx but considering youre doing what youre doing you may benefit from nvidia features

[old vector]

So the 7900XTX is better?

[lusty hinge]

depends

amd gpus are way better value

but nvidia has features

[old vector]

Which is more better for demanding gaming?

[lusty hinge]

probs 4080 S

you get DLSS 3 and youll benefit from the cuda cores and the encoding

[old vector]

Ok thank you and I’ll be sure to give you credit I’ll save your name and when I build it I’ll send you pictures

Later on when I get this built do you think you can help me build my Streaming PC to?

[lusty hinge]

yeah, although that ones much easier

but yeah definitely

[old vector]

@lusty hinge Hey I got a question

[old vector]

If you have time at least

[lusty hinge]

whats the question?

[old vector]

Could you help me find some parts for my gf’s PC?

Also do you know what’s the best CPU for a 4070?

Is it the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or is there something better?

I’m trying to find something that pairs with it and won’t bottleneck

She’ll be using the same case the Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh C but in pink

[old vector]

@lusty hinge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tvz8t7

Is that good?

[lusty hinge]

for streaming?

or your main pc

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cfMGZJ

but i wouldnt get the 7800x3d

get the 7600 and a better gpu

[old vector]

No it’s for my gf

She loves the color pink so I thought I’d build her a Pink PC

[old vector]

The PC you built me for the main I’m using because I think you did pretty good and helped me out a lot

[lusty hinge]

what does she play?

im gonna go with a typical girlfriend thing and assume sims 4?

[old vector]

Nah Resident Evil

Me and her beat Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil Revelations 2 and we’re trying to beat Resident Evil 6

[lusty hinge]

ah nice

personally id get the 7600 instead and choose a better gpu

but its alright

[old vector]

Lol right

[lusty hinge]

if you want to save money you could get an amd gpu

[old vector]

Can the mobo, memory, storage, and PSU be upgraded or nah I’m not tryna go over 1000 like I mean go over 1000 in hundred I’ll do like 1500 or something like that but not 2000 not tryna spend a lot of money on a beginner PC

[lusty hinge]

theyre not anything youd upgrade

i would choose an MSI MAG a850 psu though

if you want to spend more choose a better gpu

@old vector
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zzKJ34

[lucid belfry]

first time with an nvidia gpu (just upgraded), is it normal for my gpu to run way above the reported boost clock? and seem to not even break a sweat (temp < 50c, fans < 40%)

just want to make sure im not silently killing my gpu

[stuck thicket]

@lusty hinge hi, you helped me out a while ago and I’ve got a question – I finally put in the thermalright cooler and fans, except the fan screws were really tight so I could only get one fan in. I think I need to find another brand.. any suggestions

[lusty hinge]

the clock speeds that are on websites are kinda just balled

[lusty hinge]

what do you mean the screws were tight? how does that limit your fans?

[stuck thicket]

I don’t even remember tbh 😭 my friend did most of the work, but I could not turn the screws all the way in and I think they wouldn’t turn far enough in to actually screw into the case (on the out side fan)

[lusty hinge]

were you cross screwing them?

they should work fine

cross threading*

what case do you have?

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/GCV2FT/arctic-p12-max-8104-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-acfan00289a

alternative fans

although theres probs a 3 pack

i just searched p12

[stuck thicket]

NZXT H5 flow

What is cross threading?

[lusty hinge]

the h5 flow and the tl c12s work together

[noble oak]

Yuh

its fine

[median pulsar]

Bro I think I found the stupidest thing I see

Today I got my laptop fresh out of the box

I can’t download chrome nor use the cmd

The worest part about it when I press try again it doesn’t work

[lusty hinge]

weird

[placid leaf]

Hello

I just want to ask is it okay to put 3600Mhz into 3200Mhz supported motherboard?

[twilit compass]

Yes its just slower

The ram will only work with 3200

But I would buy 3200 if the mainboard only supports 3200 you dont need to pay for better ram if you cant use it

[median pulsar]

never mind i fixed it

i had to restart and shutdown and it worked so im fined

[lusty hinge]

yeah but youd only get 3200

although sometimes the supported speeds are straight wrong

my board says it supports 5600 or something and im at 6400 rn

[median pulsar]

i got the corsair vegence rams

im just waiting for my cpu and mobo on thursday and friday so i can pick it up

[lusty hinge]

nice

ddr5?

[past patio]

What is a good gpu under $130?

[mortal tusk]

used or new?

[lusty hinge]

wouldnt get anything under new for 130 lmfao

[mortal tusk]

idk someone might have smth from like 2010

actually thatd be a collectible as new

so nvm

[lusty hinge]

rtx 20 series second hand market. 3060 if youre extremely lucky. gtx 10 or gtx 16 if youre unlucky

[placid leaf]

Okie thank you

[placid leaf]

Noted hopefully mines read 3600 hehe

[placid leaf]

Hello again is ryzen 5 4600G for 63$ a good deal?

[lethal stirrup]

not that bad for a mid processor but if u want one so fast its okay but i guess if its used its not gonna be the best

in my country its half the price so i don't think its that bad

[placid leaf]

okie thank you i got worried if i over paid... thanks for lighting me up

[lethal stirrup]

no problem

[median pulsar]

u wil not run any games good with a 130 gpu u fried ashit bro

at least like 400-600 gpu are the best one

[lusty hinge]

??

easy

[median pulsar]

but 130 ur not gettings a single fps

[lusty hinge]

yes you are

how do you think they played games a few years ago??

400-600 is new mid end yeah

theyre not the best

1.6k is the best. cheapest 4090

[median pulsar]

yeah ik but i understand people back in the days had gt 710 1650 and many other

[lusty hinge]

easy

[median pulsar]

i have a 1650 super it stills run but i had to get a gpu 3070 i got it last year

[lusty hinge]

rtx 2060 for 130

[median pulsar]

thats just on ebay people scam people on ebay nowadays

[lusty hinge]

if you wanted cheaper get a 1050, 1080/ti, 1650

[lusty hinge]

you dont know what you're talking about lmfao

if i checked facebook marketplace id find more

even vinted, theres a guy close to me doing pickup on a 3080 for £300

if you wanted to run helldivers at 4k 120fps sure a 2060 wouldnt work

but a 2060 is more than capable

on ebay theres countless amounts of them ranging from £100-150

theres 1 for £170 it still has the box

a 6600 on ebay would be about 100

theyre brand new £190

[median pulsar]

LOL

i preferred to buy things in facebook marketplace instead of ebay

[lusty hinge]

okay?

[median pulsar]

wym okay ebay is a scammed

[lusty hinge]

lol no it isnt

you receive a brick in the mail? you get a full refund

ebays buyer protection is great

but just because you had 1 bad experience with ebay doesnt mean the whole things a scam site

even i sell on ebay. i have a whole pc up for sale rn

[median pulsar]

i never buy anything on ebay

the best place to buy thing is best buy thats where i buy my first pre built pc

[lusty hinge]

so how are you proving its a scam site

[lusty hinge]

not necessarily

best buy isnt available globally and isnt always the cheapest

they have prebuilts for dirt cheap sometimes

[median pulsar]

its amazon

[lusty hinge]

again not true

[median pulsar]

best buy is my personal opinion

[lusty hinge]

my gpu on amazon was double the price

[median pulsar]

well i mean yeah

[lusty hinge]

its all market dependant

[median pulsar]

amazon prices just randomly change sometimes

[median pulsar]

yeah true

[shadow bane]

Whats is the best place to put my alias pro for streaming? I have the boom arm

[lusty hinge]

i feel like that ones more of just a wherever works best

some people speak louder than others and yknow room acoustics and what not

[pulsar fossil]

People often underestimate the impact of room acoustics

Same thing with lighting for video

[bleak copper]

hi! so, im building my "first" pc. is it all good?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jMJfbL
and which headphones are the best ones, that would fit me?

[lethal stirrup]

i see you've made a pretty white pc, the only thing i don't trust are these lexar rams but i guess these can't be the worst i know them for having m2 discs but they have pretty bad accelerations, i wouldn't bought them but i don't really know about their rams maybe they are good :p at least you took nzxt case with their cpu cooler thats nice im curious how pc would look...

[bleak copper]

we'll see in the beginning of july 😄

[umbral bramble]

I got there something for you all fellas

https://geizhals.de?cat=WL-3882578&hloc=at&hloc=de&nocookie=1

[twilit compass]

Is someone of you realy good with IT i try to install windows since around 20h but its not working

After I enable csm i cant see my ssd and usb stick in the boot menue but its both gpt

[lusty hinge]

it can be much much better

[lusty hinge]

lexar rams cool

[lusty hinge]

have you bought it all? if not, lmk your budget

and use case

[lusty hinge]

what exactly is this?

7900x3d?

awful

most of those ram kits are awful, most of those ssds are bad/unnecessary, sound cards and recording cards are almost always unnecessary and a waste of money

[umbral bramble]

didn't ment to do something wrong but ok got it

[lusty hinge]

basically every motherboard is overpriced, ram cooler is basically never needed unless overclocking. AIOs arent the worst. cpu air coolers are pricey, but theyre all basically the same as long as they have plenty of pipes

psu selection is actually pretty good

most are well known to be high quality

[lusty hinge]

haha its all good. didnt mean to come off as insulting, its just most of that stuff on there is either overpriced or bad picks

the only ryzen cpu id choose from that list is the 7800x3d

[bleak copper]

not yet, 1000-1200€, gaming, video/graphics editing

[lusty hinge]

awesome

gaming or video editing more?

[bleak copper]

gaming

[lusty hinge]

cool. ill hop on my pc in a bit and ill check out see if i can improve it

[umbral bramble]

Can you maybe still try to make an setup list based of the parts there and give an attention to the comment I gave to this list?

[lusty hinge]

its still possible but why?

what limits other parts being used?

[umbral bramble]

My ocpd is killing me then

Don't worry
I'm already in therapy sessions

[lusty hinge]

lmfao fair

ill check yeah

[umbral bramble]

Thx

[lusty hinge]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dcVBVW
forgot to ask what country so i just used GBP instead. lmk if this is over budget

only reason iwent NVIDIA is cuz you have video editing

otherwise amd gpu for sure

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/2MDzDZ @umbral bramble

2 grand

you could get much better value if you werent so persistent on specific parts

[median pulsar]

that 2 grand look like a powerful pc

i got a question is the XFX gpu are good?

[lusty hinge]

therye just anotherbrand

but yeah

[median pulsar]

man i cant wait to build my pc tmr

with the ryzen 7 7800x3d

and b650

[lusty hinge]

thats awesome

what gpu did you get?

[median pulsar]

im using my old 3070

gigabytw 3070 8 bg

[lusty hinge]

planning on upgrading?

[median pulsar]

gb

not at the moment

[lusty hinge]

id take a look into it at some point. youll definitely be held back by your gpu. are you at 1440p?

[median pulsar]

i hope is runs fine because ik the one i buy is a powerful cpu

[median pulsar]

i probably play on 1080

[lusty hinge]

get yourself a new gpu and a 1440p monitor at some point later

[median pulsar]

ok ill just wait for the 50 series when it comes out

it should run

fine with 1440p

[lusty hinge]

the 50 series will absolutely be fine with 1440p lol

the 40 series now works fine with 4k so

[median pulsar]

yeah but my gpu not that bad tho

[lusty hinge]

no its not bad. but you could definitely do with an upgrade

youll definitely have performance held back

i would have personally gotten a ryzen 7 7600 and a better gpu

[median pulsar]

well yeah but amd ryzen 7 7800x3d is the best cpu on the market right now bro

[lusty hinge]

that means nothing lmfao

it also isnt

its the best gaming cpu yeah

but just because its the best cpu doesnt mean you should heavy weight cpu performance

gaming is more gpu focused, which is why its better to go for low cpus and high gpus in most cases

higher end situations yeah 7800x3d + a good gpu

[median pulsar]

damn but well ill be playing on 1080p for the most part

i also have a corsair vegence 32 ddr5 gb of rams

not bad

[lusty hinge]

eh

t force ram negs

you should look into 1440p

[median pulsar]

yeah man but damn

should have gotten a lower cpu

[lusty hinge]

what was your build list?

[neon mantle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MztNCd

Are these good budget pc parts?

I feel as if I might have to change the cpu to something a bit cheaper

[wraith crater]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y6TjFs Is it good for this price?

[lusty hinge]

what are you using it for?

[lusty hinge]

not at all

what are you using it for?

[neon mantle]

Gaming

[lusty hinge]

whats your budget? 1.1k?

[wraith crater]

gaming

[lusty hinge]

wrong windows btw

[lusty hinge]

is your budget 2k?

[neon mantle]

Around 1k yeah

[wraith crater]

1.5 k - 2k

[neon mantle]

If it’s possible to go lower than that then yeah

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/syFHyg hows this?

[neon mantle]

Is the amd better than the rtx?

[lusty hinge]

youd get much better pure performance

[median pulsar]

I got a question

[wraith crater]

Is there a version with Nvidia GPU

[median pulsar]

Did I put the fan the right way just to make sure

[lusty hinge]

looks the right way

[median pulsar]

Alr ty I’m getting my amd and mobo today

[lusty hinge]

ill make you one with an nvidia gpu if you want. youd get better value with amd though

do you need the cuda cores?

[neon mantle]

Yeah its good for my price range

[wraith crater]

no

[lusty hinge]

id go for an amd gpu then. nvidia has a huge premium pricing for basically no reason

[wraith crater]

Does AMD have a driver issue? @lusty hinge

[lusty hinge]

no

[wraith crater]

no problem then

[wraith crater]

you are right

[neon mantle]

What about the operating software?

[lusty hinge]

you can use windows unactived. if you want to activate windows i can make some alterations

[wraith crater]

Is it okay if I transfer the key from my old computer? @lusty hinge

[lusty hinge]

yeah thats what people do

no need to buy it twice

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wp33TY @wraith crater

ive tried to keep your aesthetic

if you want a fishtank design take a look at the montech king 95

[wraith crater]

thanks

[neon mantle]

What does that mean?

[lusty hinge]

you dont need to activate windows. nothing stops you from installing it without a license

you just need an activation key to access customisation settings

[neon mantle]

Is that illegal?

[lusty hinge]

theres also an incredibly faint watermark on w11. sometimes it just straight up disappears

no lol

its not illegal

ive had this pc for a while now, only just activated it like 3 days ago

[lusty hinge]

windows license should transfer automatically when signed in with same account. if not it might have the option to disable the old one and itll give you a new one

[lusty hinge]

when gaming you dont notice it

[wraith crater]

thanks

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7ZpzK8/microsoft-windows-11-home-retail-download-64-bit-kw9-00664 if you want an activation key

if you ask about the differences between home and pro, you don't need pro

[neon mantle]

Thanks

[lusty hinge]

the OEM DVD is technically cheaper but its the wrong version

[neon mantle]

Also is there another alternative video card that I can buy on Amazon?

[lusty hinge]

amazon? ill take a look

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hg92FT/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-16-gb-speedster-swft-319-video-card-rx-68xlaqfd9

[neon mantle]

Dang

What about this one?

[lusty hinge]

check 6750xt pricing

it performs better by 20%

and is usually within $20

[neon mantle]

They do it’s $299 but this is another version of the 7600 which is $235

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RFGbt6/xfx-radeon-rx-6700-xt-12-gb-speedster-swft-309-video-card-rx-67xtyjfdv

hows this?

the 7600xt is usually bad value

[neon mantle]

Is a 6600 at $209 or 6650 at $229 good?

[lusty hinge]

6650xt is good

[neon mantle]

Aight cool I can always upgrade anyways right?

[lusty hinge]

yeah, you can just upgrade down the line if you need

[neon mantle]

Okay cool thank you so much for you help 🙏🏿

[lusty hinge]

no problem

[median pulsar]

Guys

?

Guys!!

[lusty hinge]

what

nothing seems wrong with it

[fleet tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KwVCYN Feedback on this?

[lusty hinge]

use case?

its not the worst list, but its not good

[fleet tundra]

any spesific things that should be changed?

[lusty hinge]

depends. what are you using the pc for?

[fleet tundra]

Primarily gaming

[lusty hinge]

id change most of it. what else is it used for? or is it gaming and just some casual stuff

[fleet tundra]

gaming, casual stuff

[lusty hinge]

awesome. 2.5k budget? i can come up with a list for you

[fleet tundra]

Yeah, about that-ish. But I wanna stick to nvidia when it comes to gpu

[lusty hinge]

thats fine. at that budget its fine to do so

[fleet tundra]

appriciate it

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mMM6HG

hows this?

youve got plenty of budget left for a different cooler and a case if you'd like some aesthetic choices

also for a different model 4080 super

[fleet tundra]

thanks, i'll have a look

[lusty hinge]

cool

[fleet tundra]

What if I wanna stick with intel cpu?

[lusty hinge]

hm, i could take a look. would be more costy. any reason why?

[median pulsar]

I finish building my pc

[median pulsar]

im having trouble

i just did my build and the first thing is that i dont see any wifi

i just see ethernet

im going to download wifi drivers

but the thing aboutit when i go to download the wifi version for the mobo its says pcb vr 1.0

[lusty hinge]

what motherboard do you have?

go to the website and look for drivers

[median pulsar]

Yeah I got the drivers

But I have another problem

I was trying to boot too my old windows 11 machine but it didn’t have WiFi my 1tb Ssd have all my stuff in it

What should I do should I just clean out the disk

I can’t clean out theirs another boot on it

So what should I do

[lusty hinge]

im confused on the issue?

[median pulsar]

Never mind

Had to go on settings and clean out the old version of windows

[lusty hinge]

ah. did you not wipe the drive beforehand?

do you plan on getting a new one? 1tb is pretty low

[median pulsar]

I didn’t plan on getting a new one

Should I worry about this

[lusty hinge]

no

not a worry

i didnt activate mine till 3 days ago

[median pulsar]

Alr I’m done I’m good with everything

[median pulsar]

Yeah I don’t even have a key for it

[lusty hinge]

at some point down the line itd be goid to get one

making sure its not the OEM dvd key

[median pulsar]

Ok

But I’m only going to use it for gaming

[lusty hinge]

yeah thats fine

activating windows just unlocks customisation and removes the watermark

its not necessary

[median pulsar]

My laptop is going to be used for work and stuff

But I’m good with everything

[lusty hinge]

awesome!

[lusty hinge]

nzxt kraken 😢

[median pulsar]

No im updating it

I can’t see software for it

[lusty hinge]

ah yeah i see. just that i personally dont like the kraken. you can get better quality aios for much cheaper

what cpu did you get?

[median pulsar]

I got the ryzen 7 7800x3d

[lusty hinge]

awesome!

what gpu?

4080?

[median pulsar]

Same old gpu

3070

[lusty hinge]

ah yeah you did mention

[median pulsar]

I’m going to play some games

It going to be smooth

[lusty hinge]

hell yeah, enjoy!

[median pulsar]

Yessir

Yeah u said it amd it’s not good for work load

When I download thing it’s like trash

[lusty hinge]

thats not an amd thing

amd cpus are good for work, but not as good compared to intel

currently intels for productivity and amd for gaming

are you using wifi? and what ssd do you have?

[median pulsar]

It’s some stupid 1tb Ssd

And I’m using WiFi

[lusty hinge]

thats probably why

i use a 7800x3d and earlier i had 10gbps!

i was shocked

downloaded rainbow six siege in about 15 seconds lmfao, it was insane

[stiff lance]

7800X3D nice bro

im building a new pc with that cpu and just moving my current 3070ti over

[lusty hinge]

1440p?

[stiff lance]

im leaning to more comp games atm and planning on getting a 1440 240hz display

[stiff lance]

1440p 144hz rn

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[stiff lance]

oled as well

one of the LG displays

[lusty hinge]

always nice to have oled

[stiff lance]

yeah wil be nice

current is nano ips and it is very nice

[lusty hinge]

you planning on a 50 series upgrade? or a 7900xtx?

[stiff lance]

but ive been on 144hz since 2018

uh yes

i was going with a 4080

but the 50 series will be out by the time i do the build

[lusty hinge]

ah fair

[stiff lance]

so we'll see

a 5080 may be overkill for what i do

[lusty hinge]

maybe, good excuse for a 4k display

[stiff lance]

true

its this display

https://amzn.eu/d/5hY8waK

[lusty hinge]

do you have a parts list planned?

[stiff lance]

yes

should be about 750 for the monitor

[lusty hinge]

thats a nice monitor

[stiff lance]

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

[lusty hinge]

almost the same price as that alienware 4k oled

[stiff lance]

current list

[lusty hinge]

whoof, hyte y70

[stiff lance]

yeah man

[lusty hinge]

when are you buying? or do you own all that

[stiff lance]

i have a corsair 220t rn

and im only changing case because this case literally cannot fit a bigger gpu

its designed to be a perfect ATX fit

[lusty hinge]

ah nice

[stiff lance]

uhhh planning on like 2025

[lusty hinge]

theres many changes id make to this

[stiff lance]

more towards like for gta 6 and stuff

[stiff lance]

id love to hear

i havent finalised yet

[lusty hinge]

2025? thats a good while away. youll likely be looking at a completely different list, markets change. id be open to helping out around then

i can configure this current one for you as a general "idea" if youd want

[stiff lance]

thats true, i do want to stick with the cpu as i know its the best of the best for gaming but im sure AMD will drop something new

up to you man idm

[lusty hinge]

dont think anything worthwhile for gaming

7800x3d seems itll stay on top

[stiff lance]

my current build is great but if i want 240hz at 1440p i need to upgrade

and streaming at the same time is slightly taxxing

[lusty hinge]

how come youve got 64gb ram?

[stiff lance]

i was thinking more future proofing

but also for vr chat

i play it sometimes and oh my god how am i using 25gb oh wait its VR chat

cooked

also editing

its a bit overkill but like windows fixed the 64gb issues right?

[lusty hinge]

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

[lusty hinge]

ehh yeah

[stiff lance]

i only did that motherboard because of the USB ports

[lusty hinge]

ahh right

i kept the case, its obviously there for aesthetic

ill take a look at motherboards again

[stiff lance]

...

a couple

[lusty hinge]

holy thats a lot

[stiff lance]

yeah i literally use a hub rn

so it can save me

[lusty hinge]

yknow, i wont even try. that ones a good quality board already so thats cool

plenty of USB ports

[stiff lance]

also the storage i did for a reason

so i am just going to transfer my current m.2s

[lusty hinge]

yeah, 4tb. i put 2x2tb

[stiff lance]

2th and 1tb

and the 3rd slot for the 4tb will be used for storing clips mainly

[lusty hinge]

ah you already own that ssd?

[stiff lance]

as i put those on 2 old ass HDDs

[lusty hinge]

i wouldnt buy a 4tb 990 pro

super overpriced

[stiff lance]

true

crucial 4tb?

[lusty hinge]

ill take a look, probs also overpriced

[stiff lance]

editing is horrible off a hdd lmao

also i just threw the corsair cooler in i havent really looked into AIOS i just use a corsair one rn

and same with the power supply except im sure they're like the best rated

[lusty hinge]

7800x3d can run fine on a peerless assassin if you want to save money on a cooler, but the aios aesthetic ill respect it

i wouldn't use that corsair aio though. overpriced for its quality

[stiff lance]

true

my 2 fan one was like £160

[lusty hinge]

the corsair PSU you chose isnt that bad, but the msi mag is better quality at a lower price

[stiff lance]

gotcha

[lusty hinge]

corsair aios also use some weird proprietary stuff iirc

[stiff lance]

i bought all the bloody icue stuff

the controller and everything

[lusty hinge]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/dcBzK8/msi-spatium-m480-pro-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-spatium-m480-pro-pcie-40-nvme-m2-4tb

better quality 4tb drive

[stiff lance]

literally £50 to control my fans

[lusty hinge]

much better quality

[lusty hinge]

holy

[stiff lance]

damn okay

[lusty hinge]

very expensivr

[stiff lance]

not properly availiable in the uk rn but thats fine

dont obv need now

[lusty hinge]

yeah. by the time you need it there'll likely be a better value 4tb anyway

theres more emerging

[stiff lance]

my 2tb literally cost me like £100

bought it right as the prices were rising again

£35 for a 1tb m.2

this time last year

good times

[lusty hinge]

aa nice

got my 2tb on sale for £79

vi5000 2tb

[stiff lance]

only 154 now

not too bad

they were as low as 73

[lusty hinge]

ah nice. its not bad, definitely better quality options out there

[stiff lance]

omgggg

i have wdblack as secondary

used a sabrent before

now my backup

[lusty hinge]

ah cool

i just use some 500gb sata ssd for my backups

[stiff lance]

ah nice

i still got hdds lmao

need to fully upgrade

[lusty hinge]

yikes

[stiff lance]

this beast as a second m.2

[lusty hinge]

i have a couple 12tb hdds but i wouldnt use them for anything i use daily

[stiff lance]

fair, NAS use?

[lusty hinge]

somewhat yeah. i also just blow through storage myself

but yeah, i host for my family

[stiff lance]

oh thats cool

[lusty hinge]

😎

[stiff lance]

cheers for the part list

ill defo come back to re doing it closer to the time

[lusty hinge]

cool, im pretty active in this channel

@ me when it comes to it if you want some build advice

[stiff lance]

cheers man

[median pulsar]

I don’t know what’s going on my cpu getting hot

I just put the pre install cpu

[median pulsar]

Naw bro I think I need to get a newer cpu because this thing just goes on flames

I think i need to get a new gpu

Because bro this thing goes on flames

Not a newer cpu I think a new gpu bc my god thing is just crazy

[lusty hinge]

70°C isnt bad

its literally fine temps

[lusty hinge]

how hot?

[median pulsar]

The cpu is like 60-70

[lusty hinge]

perfectly fine

[median pulsar]

The gpu get on fire like crazy

[lusty hinge]

whats gpu temps

[median pulsar]

The highest was on 83.1

[lusty hinge]

also fine

change fan curves if you want it cooler or quieter

but those temps are perfectly fine

[median pulsar]

U sure man bc I get scared when I look at the temps bro

[lusty hinge]

perfectly reasonable temps

gpu is a little bit toasty but its fine

its being put under load

[median pulsar]

Yeah ik but when I play a game it sounds like a jet engine

[lusty hinge]

change fan curves

[median pulsar]

I feel like I need a newer gpu

Bc this thing

[lusty hinge]

gpu could do with an upgrade, you are very mismatched with that cpu

but the temps are fine

[median pulsar]

Yeah ik

[lusty hinge]

just change fan curves to be a bit quieter

[median pulsar]

The cpu too strong

I probably need to get like a 4070 ti super or maybe even a 7900xtx

[lusty hinge]

7900xtx if its within budget

[median pulsar]

Yeah the 7900xtx going to take my money then I need to get a new power supply

Man I was so exited now it just hard bro

[lusty hinge]

what psu do you have?

[median pulsar]

750

[lusty hinge]

should be fine

ill double check

yeah should be fine

get a 7800xt if you want something cheaper

or a 7900 gre

[median pulsar]

Alr ima try to lower it too high

Bro I lower it too high and this thing just smoove omfg

Wtf

[lusty hinge]

that's awesome

[median pulsar]

The thing I can’t I see no fps

But the problem is I notice that when I run my game always freeze

[lusty hinge]

what game are you playing?

[median pulsar]

Planetside 2

[lusty hinge]

think your gpu might be holding you back, or theres just some funky settings on

[median pulsar]

It just when It’s freeze on me

Yeah my gpu just been quiet idk

[lusty hinge]

hmm not sure

[median pulsar]

When I play it was on idle

It was on 47 degrees no fans spinning

It was just chilling

[lusty hinge]

nice

[median pulsar]

Yeah but when u restart my it was a whole different story

I think I need to upgrade my pc

I’m just wait a couple of months

Also too I remember when u add thermal paste it helps ur cpu

I used the pre install termal paste so I thinks it’s a problem

Overall I’ll just give my pc a 7.5/10

It just not what I wanted

[median pulsar]

Also too what’s the best gpu for this 7800x3s

7800x3d

[scenic wave]

who play roblox

[lusty hinge]

not a problem

[lusty hinge]

objectively 4090.
best value 7900xtx.
you can take a look at 7800 xt or a 7900gre

[median pulsar]

7900 xt ?

What about the 4070 ti super ?

How do u keep ur utilization on high ?

[median pulsar]

I’ll just wait for the 50 series instead of getting a gpu now

But overall I’m doing good with it

I can’t see my fps for some stupid reason

Never I see it I’m playing Cold War

My fps on 1080p is at on average 120+

What I was getting 100+ to 140

Na im cool here theirs a lot of great people in here

And also too when I play on different maps my fps is higher overall I’m pretty happy about the performance

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[lusty hinge]

bad value

if you need the nvidia features sure

but youd get better performance at that price point with an amd gpu

[fading spruce]

Is this a problem?

[lusty hinge]

goly fuck

turn your pc off

aio? @fading spruce

[fading spruce]

That was the temp the minute I turned the pc on

[lusty hinge]

what cooler do you have

[fading spruce]

And the first 15 mins of me setting it up I got a bios warning saying cpu over heating

[lusty hinge]

yeah turn it off

keep it off

turn your PSU off and your wall plug off

take off the cooler

you installed it wrong

[fading spruce]

I’m going to be honest I got a prebuilt from best buy because I have no idea how to build a pc

It wasn’t me

I got a prebuilt

[lusty hinge]

theyve done something wrong

do you want to just get warranty

theyve installed it wrong

[fading spruce]

I know so tmr I’m taking it back and they said they were going tk give me a free upgrade and a free pc

[lusty hinge]

they probably forgot to take the plastic off or put paste on

[fading spruce]

Like they are replacing it

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[lusty hinge]

yeah, dont even try using that pc

[fading spruce]

It’s already packed up and everything ready to go

[lusty hinge]

great

thats so weird they sold that

[fading spruce]

But it’s just annoying cause I got it yesterday and I barley even got to use it

[lusty hinge]

yeah that does suck

rather that than a broken one though

[fading spruce]

Yea true

And it’s a really nice looking pc

[lusty hinge]

does look nice

looks awesome mate

[fading spruce]

Thanks it’s a 4060ti with i7-14700f

[lusty hinge]

ah cool

how much did that cost?

[fading spruce]

But doesn’t work

1200$

[lusty hinge]

ah right

[fading spruce]

It was pretty worth it if I worked

[lusty hinge]

hm

it seems it

14700f?

what RAM is that?

it looks like corsair vengeance ddr4

[fading spruce]

Pretty sure ddr5

[lusty hinge]

yeah, it must be ddr5 if its a 14700f

[fading spruce]

Yea ddr5

[lusty hinge]

but it really doesnt look it

do you have a full spec list?

[fading spruce]

I don’t have a list this is my first computer my friend told me I should get it and he’s really good with computers so I got it

[lusty hinge]

hm, a 14700f is both ddr4 and ddr5

i think that might actually be ddr4 ram in there

[fading spruce]

That’s the error it shows me

Did I just dox myself😭😭

[lusty hinge]

thats so weird, i wonder what ram is in there

ill look later

[lusty hinge]

nah

[fading spruce]

It says ddr5

-6000

[lusty hinge]

if bios says cpu temps are high then theres absolutely something wrong

bios uses like literally nothing lmfao

[fading spruce]

Yea

But it says in the thing ddr5-6000

So I’m guessing it’s ddr5

[lusty hinge]

ddr5 yeah

[lusty hinge]

personally i wouldve built my own for 1200

a 4060ti gets negged by a 7800xt

[fading spruce]

I would of it’s just the fact I wouldn’t trust myself and I feel like I would break it

[lusty hinge]

its like lego

[fading spruce]

yea every Lego set I made I broke😅😅😅

[lusty hinge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1fxZ-VWs2U

good video. theres also a first person alternative

[fading spruce]

But they said because I got the pc like that they were gonna give me a 4070 with a ryzen 7 7700im pretty sure

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[fading spruce]

So I feel like it’s a pretty good free upgrade

[lusty hinge]

i mean for 1200usd, id be expecting at least a 4070 lol

[fading spruce]

Lmao

I can send you the link I got

[lusty hinge]

thatd be awesome

[fading spruce]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-14700f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-8gb-2tb-ssd-black/6575073.p?skuId=6575073

I got that

[lusty hinge]

aaahh thats why

16gb

[fading spruce]

I’m pretty sure it’s bad storage wise

Yea

I’m ordering a 4tb external card

[lusty hinge]

how much did that cost ya

i wouldve just bought a 1tb ssd

it already has a 2tb ssd

16gb ddr5 single channel is awful

[fading spruce]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-easystore-2tb-external-usb-3-2-gen-1-portable-hard-drive-black/6406513.p?skuId=6406513

Like 125$

[lusty hinge]

thats 2tb

[fading spruce]

There’s diff options

Well I got 4000 gb

Which is 4tb

[lusty hinge]

ah

did they say what pc youll be getting instead of just the parts

[fading spruce]

Let me go check

They told me but I can’t find it😅

[lusty hinge]

fair enough

hope it's got at least 2 sticks of ram

for 1200 you got conned hard

i dont know who your mate is but they need to check their knowledge lmfao

especially 1x16 ddr5

[fading spruce]

Wait do you know how much that stick of ram is

[lusty hinge]

16gb

[fading spruce]

Money

[lusty hinge]

oh

probably 100usd in a pack of 2 and they just split it

its a weird mix

[fading spruce]

Oh that’s not bad

[lusty hinge]

14700f with a 4060ti

[lusty hinge]

it is lol
