[fading spruce]

I kinda got a budget pc cause I wanted to upgrade it over time

[lusty hinge]

youre only getting 1x16 in that pc

imo youd get much better value at building for 1200usd

[fading spruce]

It’s honestly alright because I only play around 5-6 games and I have enough storage and stuff for that

[lusty hinge]

1x16 ddr5 is awful

[fading spruce]

Well I’m going to upgrade at some point

[lusty hinge]

[fading spruce]

Is that what I should buy

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/34nBVW

[lusty hinge]

bah

nah*

see what they give you

[fading spruce]

Alright

[lusty hinge]

if you built your own youd get much better value

[fading spruce]

I hope they give me a upgrade because they said there’s a good chance they will but they’d aid it’s not 100% in just really hoping right now

[lusty hinge]

yikes

not 100%?

[fading spruce]

Well also if they give me the same one what should I get for a upgrade

[lusty hinge]

why would you upgrade it immediately

[fading spruce]

They said they would give me a 4070 with a ryzen 7 7700 if they dint have the pc I got in stock tmr

[lusty hinge]

if you want, get a new ram kit

depending what ram they give you

they dont even sell it all the same, customer reviews show some have 3, some have 1, some have 2

weird

[fading spruce]

I’m not but when I’m upgrading I don’t know what ram to get when I upgrade it

[lusty hinge]

if they give you the same personally id be seeing if i can get a full refund

[fading spruce]

I mean obviously I’m not gonna upgrade right away I just want to know what to buy

[lusty hinge]

ram

[fading spruce]

But I’ll lyk imma add you so I can tell you

Cause I’m going to be going to bed right now

[lusty hinge]

finally switched to vertical monitor

much better

[signal sun]

IS this good for a 2k new pc? Its for a friend and he wants it for gaming

[signal sun]

Power Unit: Corsair RMe Series RM850e de 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular

Peripherals: Tempest Apocalypse combo

[arctic panther]

H100 ❌ OR H150I ??

[lusty hinge]

2k? what currency

this seems awful

what country are you in? ill take a look at a list for you

on second glance, that list is even worse than awful

seems like youre spanish. ill take a look

@signal sun https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/TcKrFs

this is just under 2K and is infinitely better.

[lusty hinge]

both overpriced garbage iirc

[signal sun]

Euros

[lusty hinge]

@signal sun

[signal sun]

Thank you 🙏

My friend made it with Ai and thought it was good

[lusty hinge]

lmfao ai is awful for pcs

it doesnt even check compatibility

but that list is awful lol yeah. use that one i sent

[signal sun]

I did, ty again

https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/FaC600AfE this one is for me, What you think?

Ye its to update the pc

[lusty hinge]

all you have is a cpu motherboard and ram

and a case

wheres like, everything else

the ram is really bad

motherboard is mid

whats your budget

ah upgrade

what do you have now?

i meant the whole pc

whats your entire parts list

not how i would have gone about it but usre

judging from those links

that upgrade is awful

dont even bother with the 7800x3d

[signal sun]

:(

[lusty hinge]

what are you using the pc for

gaming?

[signal sun]

Gaming yeah

[lusty hinge]

is it struggling to run what youre using it for

if its not struggling you dont need to upgrade

but if you want to upgrade

dont go for that

whats your upgrade budget? @signal sun

[signal sun]

I would like to update Just in case there are some good games of this year i like

[lusty hinge]

means nothing

whats your upgrade budget

if youre gaming a gpu upgrade would go further than a cpu lol

[signal sun]

Mmm 700 max

[signal sun]

.

[lusty hinge]

spain yeah?

[signal sun]

Yeah

[lusty hinge]

https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/XBfCCd

just a cpu and gpu

[signal sun]

Mmm i dont really know if i should change gpu... Fps is what i lack the most...

Struggles to get 60 on this year games

[lusty hinge]

thats exactly why you should change gpu

???

the gpu is a Graphics Processing Unit

which will give you better fps

[signal sun]

i always thought it was the cpu... im dumb

sorry for making you read this nonsense and thanks for your efforts and time.

[signal sun]

Is the question for me?

[lusty hinge]

dont believe so

its in response to a deleted message

[wary knot]

Which one is better???
Acer Nitro 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 PC Gaming IPS Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium Up to 180Hz Refresh 0.5ms DCI-P3 95% 1 Display Port 1.2 & 2 HDMI 2.0 XV271U M3bmiiprx,Black https://a.co/d/055o1sas
AOC C27G2Z 27" Curved Frameless Ultra-Fast Gaming Monitor, FHD 1080p, 0.5ms 240Hz, FreeSync, HDMI/DP/VGA, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero Dead Pixel Guarantee, Black, Xbox PS5 Switch https://a.co/d/eKNoX6X

[wheat laurel]

acer generally sucks for monitors but 1440p 180hz over 1080p whatever hertz anyday

curved is also just a gimmick, better to have a straight monitor imo

[wary knot]

Ok

[worthy oak]

What is a good pc build for games like fortnite and world of tanks ?

[cyan ice]

Ryzen 7 800x3d is good for all game

And rx 7700xt is good for wot

Motherboard a b650-A (asus rog )

[wheat laurel]

little overkill for only fortnite and world of tanks

@worthy oak what is your max budget?

[lusty hinge]

budget and resolution

and what country

[lusty hinge]

if you have to choose from these 2 the first ones better

[wary knot]

Is this one better???
Dell 27 inch Gaming Monitor (G2724D) - Computer Monitors | Dell USA
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-gaming-monitor-g2724d/apd/210-bhxc/monitors-monitor-accessories

[lusty hinge]

what are you looking for from your monitor

1080p or 1440p

youve linked both resolutions

[wary knot]

What ever one is better

[lusty hinge]

1440p

whats your monitor budget

[lusty hinge]

i use this monitor and its great

very appealing price on it too

[worthy oak]

Under 2.5k. My monitor currently is 1920x1080.

[worthy oak]

USA

[lusty hinge]

im assuming you meant 2.5k for the whole pc

[lusty hinge]

for the monitor this ones perfect

i recommend it

[lusty hinge]

have you already got your pc? or are you planning a build with 2.5k. id gladly take a look at it for you

[worthy oak]

I’m planning to build one.

[lusty hinge]

cool.

do you have a list in mind?

a site like https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ for example is good

[worthy oak]

What’s the difference between a operating system pro and a home retail operating system?

[lusty hinge]

if you have to ask, you dont need pro

but theres a couple features, most notably the support of up to 2000 something gigabytes of RAM

[worthy oak]

Would this be good ? I think it comes out to be 2575 dollars

[lusty hinge]

youre able to share a direct link

but ill check it

[worthy oak]

Oh

Sorry

[lusty hinge]

are you using it for gaming

[worthy oak]

I didn’t know

Yes

[lusty hinge]

very bad list

[worthy oak]

Ok

[lusty hinge]

ill make some changes

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/82tMkJ

@worthy oak

saves you a whole 400 dollars

[worthy oak]

Thank you

[neon mantle]

When buying pc parts do you have to buy your own wires as well?

What extra stuff do I need to set it up?

[lusty hinge]

no

everything comes included

you dont need anything extra to set it up other than a USB with at least 8gb space

[neon mantle]

Why a usb?

[lusty hinge]

to install windows

[chrome wren]

Any suggestions on what I can do with these cables? 1 is from PC, 1 is from Xbox, both for controller, I don't want to be putting them away in between use, I want them to be easily accessible, but out of the way.

[lusty hinge]

other than moving the pc one behind the xbox doesnt seem like theres much to do

very interested in your pc though

show it off

[lusty hinge]

looking cool

love the blue

[chrome wren]

Don't have the glass side on xD

[lusty hinge]

any reason you went for 4x ddr5?

i assume its 64gb

[chrome wren]

ALOT cheaper than 2x 32GB sticks when I bought them

[lusty hinge]

makes sense

is that a 3090?

theres some very clear sag on it. might want to pick up a support stand/bracket

[chrome wren]

3080 12GB, I have one, just don't have it fitted, plan on replacing it soon anyway.

[lusty hinge]

ah 3080

intel processor by the looks

dont think thats an amd board

[chrome wren]

I had a 2080 Super and was going to upgrade to a 4090 (When they were announced but not released) but then my GPU died so I had to buy one then, so I don't upgrade

AMD

[lusty hinge]

ah is it?

what board is that

[chrome wren]

7900x

[lusty hinge]

interesting. any particular reason for 7900x?

[chrome wren]

Asus ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi

[lusty hinge]

ah no way, that sucks

[chrome wren]

Bought it before x3D came out

[lusty hinge]

fair enough then

expensive motherboard fair play

you wouldnt catch me buying one of them. b650 is all you really need

looks nice though, I'd definitely consider it if custom loops werent so expensive

[chrome wren]

MOBO: Asus ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming WiFi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900x
CPU Cooler: Corsair H150i ELITE CAPELLIX 360mm
RAM: 4x 16GB Corsair DDR5 Dominator Platinum 5600mhz
GPU: MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio 12GB
PSU: Evga 1300G+
Case Fans: 3x Corsair LL RGB Fans

[lusty hinge]

thats a huge psu

how come?

even a 4090 + 7800x3d works on an 850

[chrome wren]

Was basing it of leaked RTX 4000 series power requirements before it was officially announced xD

[lusty hinge]

yikes no way

i wouldnt listen to recommended wattage, let alone leaked recommended

i think the 4090 is recommended 1000w

doesnt need it at all lol

[chrome wren]

I shouldn't have to change it for a while though xD

[lusty hinge]

the recommendations are made to accustom for the really crappy psus

[lusty hinge]

oh absolutely not

its got pcie 5 right? 12vhpwr?

too lazy to google it rn but i assume it does

youll be fine on that PSU for ages

[chrome wren]

Probably? xD

Been a while since I built it

[lusty hinge]

😭

[stuck thicket]

Nice pfp Lisquie

[lusty hinge]

haha cheers

[stuck thicket]

I may need your help please 😅 but if you're helping this person it is not urgent

[chrome wren]

Probably upgrade to a RTX 5090 and a AMD Ryzen 9 9000 x3D CPU once they are released

[lusty hinge]

whats up

[stuck thicket]

DAMN do you just have infinite budget

[lusty hinge]

dont think 9000 series is getting an x3d. cant remember what they announced

im pulling similar

[chrome wren]

They probably will, but won't be released to same time as standard 9000 series

[lusty hinge]

im getting myself a 5090 on release and then custom looping

im waiting on my o11 evo to arrive to case swap. then ill custom loop this stuff now.

[chrome wren]

And I spend most of my time on my PC (Work and entertainment) so it's worth the price

[lusty hinge]

absolutely, i say the same

im on it most of the day, may aswell give myself a nice experience

even if not. nothing wrong with a hobby

[stuck thicket]

Well I put in my new fans and my cooler and everything is working well but it's a little louder than I'd prefer

So I downloaded fan control but I don't know what I'm doing lol, I can't make sense of the controls

Also sometimes the fans go faster than they're advertised to 🥸 it was making them go over 1800 which is what these fans said is the max (Arctic P12 PWM)

[chrome wren]

I have a 160hz 4K monitor and a second 4K monitor, need a beefy GPU to run games at 4K 160 xD

[lusty hinge]

using fan control you can set custom fan curves for target rpms at different temperatures

i cant recommend anything as everyones noise tolerance is different, but play around a bit.

[stuck thicket]

I just don't know what all this is and I don't want to break anything lol

[lusty hinge]

you wont break anything doing that

if you want, play around with that slider and itll show you what your fans sound like at different rpms

[stuck thicket]

Yeah I just checked the manual control checkbox and it got quieter when I dragged it down (duh), but obviously that won't work for everything bc the load on my pc changes ofc

[chrome wren]

There should be a way to set a fan curve, instead of a set RPM

[lusty hinge]

yeah there is

[stuck thicket]

Also I cannot figure out which of these fans is my case fan (I have the H5 flow which has a built in fan [yes I know my GPU is bad[)

Yea I ought to set the curve

But it's kinda late maybe I will do it this weekend... I don't have time tomorrow really

when it was calibrating it sounded like a jet lol

[lusty hinge]

how many case fans do you have, are they daisy chained?

its easy to figure out what controls what

just boost their speeds and look/listen for what fan(s) change

[stuck thicket]

No I don't think they are daisy chained, each fan got it's own plug

[stuck thicket]

I tried 😭 I'll try again but it's on the bottom it's hard to tell

[lusty hinge]

3 intake 1 exhaust?

[chrome wren]

I have 3 intake, 3 exhaust xD

[stuck thicket]

uh 😅 my mobo does NOT have a lot of fan ports so I have 1 intake 1 exhaust and my cooler obv

[lusty hinge]

5 intake 4 exhaust 😎

im pulling up to 12 fans total soon

[chrome wren]

3 intakes are for my AIO though, that's on the front

[stuck thicket]

wtf

why does my motherboard have like no fan ports

[chrome wren]

I mean, if you count GPU and PSU fans, I have 10

[stuck thicket]

well actually

there's that case fan

[lusty hinge]

get a fan hub if youd like.
that makes it easy though

case fans dont need to be at high speeds constantly.
to make your life super easy, set all your fans other than cpu cooler to 0rpm. then just change each one until you see them turn on

[stuck thicket]

so ig i have 2 intake

[chrome wren]

Only the essentials

[lusty hinge]

i think we all need a plane

[stuck thicket]

bruh 💀 HOW LONG HAS CHROME BEEN OPEN LIKE THIS

I USE FIREFOX

[lusty hinge]

lmfao

go to task manager and check how much you have on start up

[stuck thicket]

oops

wrong tan

tab

[lusty hinge]

[stuck thicket]

I replayed this game earlier this year but that moon level was killing me i stopped

[lusty hinge]

thats a lot

[stuck thicket]

yea :P

[lusty hinge]

farewell? hardest base level

chapter 3 c side and chapter 7 b side is difficult

[stuck thicket]

I didn't even attempt the c sides

[lusty hinge]

fun game

[stuck thicket]

I forget if I did chapter 7 b side

[lusty hinge]

personally ive beat it all

😎

[stuck thicket]

damn

[stuck thicket]

what can i do about this

I'm not the most PC knowledged (obviously)

[lusty hinge]

just disable what you dont want to turn on when your pc is turned on

[stuck thicket]

I updated it

is this better? lol

idk what updaterstartutility is

oh it's Adobe 🙄 ofc

[lusty hinge]

ew

[stuck thicket]

yup

I only have creative cloud on here bc my work pays for it

[lusty hinge]

fair enough

when i have to download any adobe stuff i make a partition on my drive and download it on there

[stuck thicket]

I have seriously been considering reinstalling windows

[lusty hinge]

when i dont need it anymore i just simply kill the partition off

[chrome wren]

Nice and clean

[lusty hinge]

ea launcher

disgusting

[stuck thicket]

idek what half of mine are tbh

[lusty hinge]

steam and only steam 😎

[stuck thicket]

how do i remove stuff from the list

[lusty hinge]

uninstall it

[stuck thicket]

I really regret buying a roccat mouse it asks me if i want to download the new update every 10 seconds I swear

[lusty hinge]

lmfao

[stuck thicket]

Well I don't see RtkAudUService64 in his list but i googled it and that's Realtek audio I kinda need that

I think I have the java update scheduler in there bc of minecraft idk what else on my computer would use Java

and I play minecraft once in a blue moon

[lusty hinge]

probably that

[stuck thicket]

ghost skype

[lusty hinge]

you cant uninstall some things

[stuck thicket]

fuq microsoft

[lusty hinge]

mostly microsoft things

could be worse

[stuck thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/clown-mcdonalds-thumbs-down-i-dont-think-so-gif-16021541

[lusty hinge]

theres w11 ads in us

[stuck thicket]

he doesn't have skype

[lusty hinge]

skype mention

[stuck thicket]

also why is discord in his list and not in mine

sorry for bombarding u with questions

[lusty hinge]

discords funny. you might have just not got it on in discord settings

or have you only just downloaded it

[stuck thicket]

onto my PC?

[lusty hinge]

yeah

[stuck thicket]

I've had discord since 2016 probs

ok more like 2017 i joined december 2017

[chrome wren]

Need it for F1 24 :(

[stuck thicket]

2016****

[lusty hinge]

youve had your pc for that long and only just fan curve set up?

[pulsar fossil]

30th of December :)

[stuck thicket]

hey it counts

[pulsar fossil]

It does 😄

[stuck thicket]

like I joined roblox at the end of 2012

i was a wee lad

[lusty hinge]

im sorry... but f1 24 needs to go..

[stuck thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/clash-royale-gif-22822786

I had an AIO before and that was it

it worked

[pulsar fossil]

I was 24 😅

[stuck thicket]

oop sorry to make u feel old

i wasn't that wee

[pulsar fossil]

It's all good I'm used to it 👴

[stuck thicket]

Alright well @lusty hinge I'll take a look at the curves this weekend ig

Thanks for your help

[lusty hinge]

[stuck thicket]

Still debating a clean install of windows, mostly because my appdata section is GROSS

doesn't reaaally matter but i don't like it

[lusty hinge]

up to you. back up anything you care about to an external drive

[stuck thicket]

years of being a stupid kid and not organizing anything

[chrome wren]

I joined Discord 26th July 2016

[stuck thicket]

saw this on the pcmr subreddit and it is so true

[stuck thicket]

Yea I have a 1tb and a 2tb external HDD

[chrome wren]

I have 2x 1TB SSD'd

[stuck thicket]

inside my pc i have a 1tb ssd and a 1tb hdd

Which still has windows 10 installed...

I run windows 11 off my ssd

I just have it sitting with windows

Like I said, I am not too knowledgeable when it comes to computers

I'm not tech illiterate but yk

[lusty hinge]

fair enough like

[stuck thicket]

I'll keep mulling on whether or not to clean install windows

probably won't do it for a little while

it's not like I have to I just hate digging through empty appdata folders from years ago when cleaning out my drives

[chrome wren]

Possibly the best thing I have installed on my PC

[lusty hinge]

nuh uh

[chrome wren]

yuh uh

[lusty hinge]

no way

id consider steam better

with no steam. no gam.

[chrome wren]

No game, no point in Auto Switcher, so I guess it comes 2nd xD

[lusty hinge]

exactly 😎

how do you as a sane person even put up with ea launcher

i wouldnt even consider downloading it on a completely seperate ssd completely empty of all life

[chrome wren]

It's awful, but I wanted to play F1 24

Couldn't even run it, I had to change windows settings to even launch it

[lusty hinge]

it cant be worth it

[chrome wren]

I literally had to disable control flow guard in windows settings to even get the game to launch

It's terrible, bit even if you get the game on steam, it runs through EA

[lusty hinge]

yeah same with siege and stuff

i completely forgot ea did it

bought 2 new vi5000s

left my pc to install siege

came back and its asking about ea

[chrome wren]

What's that

I thought siege way Ubisoft?

[lusty hinge]

might have been ubisoft but im 99% sure it was ea launcher

ill have to check tomorrow. was never arsed enough to delete siege files

so ill try running it again

[stuck thicket]

Wait what

@lusty hinge your pfp is Batman on mobile but when I click your profile it’s Badeline

[lusty hinge]

nitro

i use server profiles

my girlfriend doesnt want to lose the matching profile picture lmfao so i use server profiles for my pfp

we've had the pfp like 2 years though i dont blame her

[neon mantle]

Do you guys have a good budget monitor, keyboard, mouse, and headphones?

[solemn barn]

what's your budget

[neon mantle]

I alr found pc parts for around $1000

Soo maybe like $300?

[solemn barn]

alright

[neon mantle]

Or whatever is cheaper than that but good

[solemn barn]

are you using the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and headphones for gaming or something else

also what source are you getting these items from

[neon mantle]

Sorry im using them for gaming

And I would like to get them from Amazon

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4H7DWt

[umbral bramble]

corsair edition

[umbral bramble]

can someone tell me what this means?

[regal crescent]

1st one means that the website doesn't check if the fans are compatible with the case (in rarer cases parts such as the motherboard) you chose, more specifically the brackets where the fans can be mounted into (usually 120mm or 140mm for most fans, yours being 120mm in the image above). you would probably have to look a bit deeper (id suggest a case review on youtube) to figure out what size fans you should get.
did a quick search on the second one, seems like that cable is something to do with the orientation and positioning of your graphics card. not entirely sure though. graphics cards don't usually need it from what i've seen. maybe check your compatibility?
the third one means you kinda have to keep a mental image of how much room you have, especially clearance for the cpu cooler, gpu and possibly psu if there is no 'basement' to hide the psu. look up some pc builds to start learning where parts go, especially the graphics card and compare that connection to where the motherboard is.
the graphics cards and cpu fan coolers can be especially beefy, so definitely check those sizes in retrospect to your motherboard and tower. popular cases that get reviews a lot on pcpartpicker tell you how much room you have to work with if you look towards the left side of the screen where every other specification is.

[umbral bramble]

You know... that the second Image I have sent here with the question what it has to mean is based of the link above.

And the image with the Corsair Setup is from Corsair PC Builder, not from PC Part Picker

[lusty hinge]

what is this for?? its awful

[lusty hinge]

so is this

theyre both awful

[lusty hinge]

ignore 1 and 3.
likely also ignore 2. you just need a riser cable if youre vertical mounting

[lusty hinge]

send a pcpp link

[neon mantle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kcq6HG

You helped me make the list remember? Lol

[umbral bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-mad-face-annoyed-fuming-holding-it-in-gif-15264555

No offence but isn't it possible to just have 2 GPUs in a setup and be happy?

And since arc just doesn't go away from my head I decided to stick with team blue

Plus The Arc has Interesting "perks" other gpus don't have

[lusty hinge]

never since the 2 gpus is what makes it bad

everything else in the list is what makes it bad

lol

tell me what youre using it for

[lusty hinge]

this one, just stop.

im not even gonna correct it, its that bad. 1.5k and theres not even a cpu or a gpu in there

corsair also uses proprietary connections. they also have mediocre quality in ram, ssd, and psus

[umbral bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/grrr-grrr-o-meter-meter-angry-mad-meter-gif-5598137

Fine I stay away from Corsair

[lusty hinge]

completely forgot, thats my bad. i make a lot of pcpp lists

[umbral bramble]

No problem

[neon mantle]

lol it’s cool thanks again

[lusty hinge]

whats the list for? the one with 2 gpus

[umbral bramble]

Gaming (with mods), Streaming, 3D Editing, Video Editing, Game Development, Programming, Music Production, Photoshoping, and other usable experiences that can be used for the Worklife

[lusty hinge]

what one do you do the most

gaming?

[umbral bramble]

Gaming and 3D Editing

[lusty hinge]

yikes. that list is very poor then

tbf. it was bad for all of them

ill take a look at it again and make some changes

it doesnt seem like you even need 64gb ram

[umbral bramble]

:/ fine by me. But pls do me a favor and use only a limited number of brands. Like how I did it in the list.

[lusty hinge]

or a 1000w psu.

why is there a sound card?

[umbral bramble]

People told me it would be handy for music production

[lusty hinge]

professional or hobbyist

if its professional, youd likely choose a different one. hobbyist? dont need one

[umbral bramble]

Hobbyist which should lead to bigger stuff

[lusty hinge]

dont need one then

why are you spending so much on your case + fans?

and motherboard

[umbral bramble]

Case and fans because of ocpd and perfectionism. Mainboard because I thought ASRock Taichi Z690 isn't as good as Asus ROG Maximus Hero Z790

[lusty hinge]

how come youre choosing arc gpus instead of an nvidia?

[lusty hinge]

amd wouldnt be good for this

but why arc?

if youre stuck with arc, you only need 1

[umbral bramble]

1. The fear it could burn
2. They are basically Apple
3. PP Behaviour is really unfair and expensive
4. The Arc won't go out of my mind.

5. AMD isn't that good in 3D stuff as Intel or Nvidia

[lusty hinge]

theyre basically apple 😭

ive never heard such a joke

[umbral bramble]

[lusty hinge]

nvidia gpus wont burn

amd gpus wont suit for your workload sure

what features does arc have that nvidia doesnt? which you need?

[umbral bramble]

AV1 Code from Arc. XeSS. Deep Link.

[lusty hinge]

do you actually know what these do?

nvidia has cuda cores which would benefit

[umbral bramble]

I do yes. And I also know that Nvidias Cuda is unbeatable

[lusty hinge]

for 500 dollars youd get better performance with an nvidia gpu

because 2 arc gpus are a waste lol

the arc has a very appealing price with 16gb vram and its features. but when youre spending that much... team green

[chrome wren]

I will always go Nvidia, Intel wouldn't even be an option for me.

[lusty hinge]

amd is great

arc is usually never worth it

theyre great for low budget work orientated computers

but outside of that? kinda mid

theyre also very fiddly. youll spend half of your time troubleshooting

[chrome wren]

I'll always go Nvidia because 1 they're better performance (But more expensive) and 2 Nvidias software is only available on Nvidia GPU's (DLSS ETC ETC) where as AMD's is open source, so if a a game only has DLSS you can use it, if a game only has AMD Fideleity FX you can use it, where as if you had an AMD card, you can only use FidelityFX. where a lot of games and stuff only have DLSS

[lusty hinge]

@umbral bramble ill make chanhes to your list later. ive got to head out to the doctors now though

if anyone else in the mean time wants to try go for it

[umbral bramble]

Sure tyt

[chrome wren]

You can get an RTX 4070 for the same price, which is 73% more performance than one of those

99.9% of games/apps don't support 2x GPU's anyway

Nvidia also supposrt AV1 encoding

And has cuda cores, access to Nvidia only things, such as DLSS and is kept more upto date than Intel

[lusty hinge]

multi gpu usage is dead

[chrome wren]

@umbral bramble also just incase you didn't know, you selected a PSU that doesn't have a price, not sure if that was intentional

[lusty hinge]

sli rest in peace

[lusty hinge]

probs some weird site

this is gl1tch

he comes here often with lists worse than before

[chrome wren]

xD

Also, as a person who bought 2 packs of 2x ram with 64GB total, I'd get a 2 stick pack and only get 64gb if you actually need it, DDR5 boot times with that much ram is slow

[lusty hinge]

he doesnt need 64gb

he always has very funny requirements

but theyre very bad requirements

[chrome wren]

Without turning memory training off in bios, it takes 1.5 minutes for my screens to even turn on

About 30 seconds with it turned off, which is still long, just because of the amount of ram

I feel like I should make multiple PC part lists for different price ranges

Like $1000 to $4000

[chrome wren]

Anyone want to see my over the top PC build? xD

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nB4tGP

Might do it xD

@lusty hinge What you think of my build xD

[umbral bramble]

Idk if I should take that as an insult or as a compliment

[chrome wren]

What's your budget and I'll give you a good list

[umbral bramble]

Besides @lusty hinge you remind me of my friend who also likes to describe me like that in order to help me solving my problems. Which is lately annoying as hell 🙄

[umbral bramble]

Up to 2000€
1500 is save
300 will maybe come from me if I can save it
An unknown budget will arrive as well

[chrome wren]

Any specific country? Prices are different for different countires that use euros

[umbral bramble]

Germany or Eastern

[chrome wren]

Do you actually need a 384 kHz Sound Card?

[umbral bramble]

Besides
I have ocpd which means extreme high perfectionism. This will affect me deeply when I have my new PC. Because as you maybe seen. I give a focus on the amount of brands. Sounds stupid but I can't help it. And when there will be a variety of different brands, this will make me feel really uncomfortable. So when you make a list for me, pls give a focus on the amount of brands as I do with my lists.

[umbral bramble]

As an hobbyist for music production...idk. some people say yes, some no. So I can't give a clear answer

[chrome wren]

If you don't have audio equiptment that support 384khz, there's no point

[umbral bramble]

I only have the arctis nova pro wireless

As my headphones
Soon I will buy the tusq to provide getting a dent like from jinxy

Or LolTyler1

[chrome wren]

@umbral bramble https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/J42QJy
€2000

[umbral bramble]

Brand focus as I said?

[chrome wren]

Asus/Corsair is the only things you'll be able to see

[umbral bramble]

Ok thx.

[chrome wren]

Western Digital SSD, but that's going to be under a heatsink, and AMD CPU, which will be under the cooler, so you won't see those

[umbral bramble]

I didn't ment it with seeing it. KNOWING it. Pls don't judge.

[chrome wren]

Can change the SSD to Corsair too, but you'll need to either increase price or suffer a performance

And then it's just AMD, ASUS, Corsair

[umbral bramble]

Yeah I thought about that

[chrome wren]

Which is pretty much the least brands you can get

[umbral bramble]

Looks good. Thx

[lusty hinge]

why are you paying for brand

you dont buy brand you buy model

when you use your computer, do you stare at it? or the monitor

[chrome wren]

I just buy performance xD

[lusty hinge]

exactly

[chrome wren]

Did you like my list I made earlier? xD

[lusty hinge]

cheapest gpu, best value everything else

[lusty hinge]

ill check it in a moment

[chrome wren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nB4tGP

[lusty hinge]

just got home

[chrome wren]

xD

[lusty hinge]

is this just an uncapped budget build

its, something

[chrome wren]

Yup, I might get it, but with a 9000 series x3D CPU and a 5090 when released

[lusty hinge]

i wouldnt buy that

a 4090 build doesnt need to be more than 4k

4k at extreme

for 6k its surprisingly, mediocre

ill check it out in a moment and make some changes. give me like 5 minutes though, im starving lmao

[chrome wren]

AIO GPU, the mobo and storage is way too expensive, overkill PSU, 128GB of ram

Case is expensive too, but it looks cool

I've gone for performance, aesthetics and quiet

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4y7rFs
Same specs, just less aesthetically pleasing and louder

For under 4K

[lusty hinge]

what are your requirements and usage

well, just usage

and then whats your budget and aesthetic preference

im assuming youre US

[chrome wren]

UK

And just best performance, that case, quiet as possible (Hence why I went AIO GPU) no budget

[lusty hinge]

how come youre using US pcpp

also, where by in the UK? i might come buy that 3080 from you...

[stray sinew]

@chrome wreni have a ryzen 7 7800x3d tuf gaminng mother board geforce rtx 4070 64 ggi ram 2 t hardrive spent 1400 or less on it seeing something about 6 g or am i seeing wrong

[lusty hinge]

7800x3d and 4070 very mismatched wow

@chrome wren
do you need 128gb? 32gb will suit most people

even a lot of work loads are fine with 32gb

[chrome wren]

It was just an OP build, I need 64Gb

[lusty hinge]

ah cool alright

64gb? what do you do

ill include it

how much do you care about that rgb? theres a really nice priced 64gb ram https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/6QcgXL/gskill-flare-x5-64-gb-2-x-32-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-f5-6000j3040g32gx2-fx5

6000mhz cl30 too

[chrome wren]

I'd prefer to stick with Corsair, WD, Asus for most things and I want RGB

(So I don't have to install loads of things)

[lusty hinge]

ah right. any reason for buying into brand?

ah

you can use things like SignalRGB or OpenRGB

they control most aRGB

[chrome wren]

Don't like it

[lusty hinge]

personally i use OpenRGB but SignalRGB has wider support

fair

[chrome wren]

Corsair I can set cooling and RGB and then save it to device and not have the app open at all

[lusty hinge]

ill keep that in mind for rgb parts then

you should get a corsair 1000d

corsair 4000d only has clearance for a 240mm aio? never knew

[chrome wren]

On the top

Should fit a 360 on the front

[lusty hinge]

oh yeah lol

silly me

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hhNLQP @chrome wren

[chrome wren]

Was gonna say, my current case is 360 front, 280 top 120 back and my case is smaller

[lusty hinge]

this seems alright

i couldnt remember how much storage you needed

so 2 vi5000 2tb

@chrome wren if you want a "cheap" 4090 with some rgb, this one is https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/MPRYcf/palit-gamerock-oc-geforce-rtx-4090-24-gb-video-card-ned4090s19sb-1020g

[chrome wren]

I was just going for over the top

Do like the idea of a water cooled GPU though

[lusty hinge]

it is cool

at that price though you may aswell custom loop

[chrome wren]

Don't trust myself xD

I'd leak water everywhere

[lusty hinge]

lmfao fair

ive custom looped once before. its pretty finnicky

[chrome wren]

And if I was to do custom, I'd want hard tubes, and they'd end up crooked xD

[lusty hinge]

haha yeah fair enough

[chrome wren]

I do really like that case I added, with the touch screen 4K screen built in

[lusty hinge]

oh yeah, i dont know why i changed that

[chrome wren]

I'd add a PSU with a display too, if it was a case where the PSU was visible

But it's hidden behind the mobo tray

[lusty hinge]

i dont think thats worrth it

even if it was visible

theyre either pretty pricy or just not good quality

[chrome wren]

It's just cool, and unlimited budget, why not

[lusty hinge]

fair

id have to check if theres any fairly priced quality ones

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sqfMkJ
just over 3k

considering youre going for corsair rgb, its not a bad price

🤤

theyre much cheaper now

used to be £140

[fading spruce]

I just got my new pc and this happened anyone know how to fix this

[lusty hinge]

just put the clip back on

[fading spruce]

So I don’t know how to do that and in the bottom it’s also like that

[lusty hinge]

just pull it up and latch it over this

then repeat on the bottom

[fading spruce]

Ok I got the top one

But the bottom one is different

@lusty hinge

[lusty hinge]

looks exactly the same

if its easier, remove your gpu

then clip it in

[fading spruce]

Does that plug into anything

@lusty hinge

[lusty hinge]

was it plugged into anything before

a lot of the time theyre left hanging as they arent needed

especially with prebuilts/non modular PSUs

[fading spruce]

Well there’s a old pic

[lusty hinge]

yeah just leave it

[fading spruce]

Alright

[lusty hinge]

its an unused pcie cable

Hello anyone?

Hello, just want to ask should I upgrade my monitor or just upgrade my pc?

Pc specs idk if it’s low or mid tier
Ryzen 5 4600G
Rx580 8gb
32gb ram 3200
Deep cool DE600watts
Motherboard GA-AB350M-Gaming 3

Monitor is just 60hz 19 or 20” I forgot

[lusty hinge]

this doesnt tell us anything

what are you trying to achieve with an upgrade

[placid leaf]

Oh sorry

[lusty hinge]

whats your budget

what country

what games

etc

youre also missing out your psu

nvm

[placid leaf]

Slr my budget is 100$ and idk if I should get the monitor or just upgrade a part…

[lusty hinge]

still didnt tell me anything

you just gave me a number and thats it

[placid leaf]

Ummm 2022 to 2023 games I think I dont play much because busy. And I just want to treat myself…

[lusty hinge]

thanks when i search 2022 on steam nothing comes up

[placid leaf]

Oh well thanks for entertaining me have a great day

[lusty hinge]

lmfao

what country are you in

and what do you want to achieve with the upgrade

that is as simple as it gets

[stuck thicket]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/s/s2ab2p2MsL

School PC better than my PC 💀

What does a school need RTX for

[lusty hinge]

as a joke perspective i get it

but there are plenty of reasons for a school to have an rtx series/raytracing capable card

nvidia rtx cards have good performance and have the beneficial cuda cores which help out in a lot of workloads

for example, my college course supplies us with 3080 prebuilts

but i just use my own

(4080S)

i need the cuda cores for my work, as they massively improve my performance and speeds

things such as 3d design and game development benefit

[stuck thicket]

[lucid terrace]

Hey I’m not rly building a pc but can anyone tell me if this RAM is compatible with my Alienware aurora r8 I’m clueless on this shi😂

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT16G4SFRA32A-PC4-25600-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B08C511GQH/ref=asc_df_B08C511GQH/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697256179342&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4159781364062246477&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006946&hvtargid=pla-937064307011&psc=1&mcid=cb2ce27fd36539da861a50f812410c2c&th=1&psc=1&gad_source=1

[lusty hinge]

no

[lucid terrace]

Ah okay do u think u could guide me on what to search

[lucid terrace]

Ty as well

[lusty hinge]

ill take a look in a minute for you

pretty sure it's proprietary though

[lucid terrace]

Tyy

[lusty hinge]

yeah it uses proprietary stuff

so its ddr4 compatible but very limited

[lucid terrace]

Okay cool

[lusty hinge]

ill link you some now

[lucid terrace]

I do have 2 8gig rams already in there

Do they have to be like comparable

[lusty hinge]

it seems you can buy compatible kits from their site
https://uk.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/alienware/aurora-r8

[lusty hinge]

good luck mixing ram

[lucid terrace]

Do u think I should get more 8gigs or just go for a 16gig?

[lusty hinge]

2x16gb

[lucid terrace]

Would I need to take out my 8gigs?

[lusty hinge]

yes

[lucid terrace]

Ah okay

[lucid terrace]

Thanks for ur help I appreciate ittt👍

[lusty hinge]

no problem

if you do end up buying the ram, make sure you put the new ones in the same slots as the old ones

it should run in dual channel which is quicker

[lucid terrace]

Thank uuuu

[lusty hinge]

this is my primary monitor, same pricing, does great

[lusty hinge]

if youre taking your cpu cooler off, yes. id recommend a repaste.

mx6 is good.

if youre only taking the fans off, no need

[haughty vault]

Yo thanks

Also

Im upgrading the ram and storage, is there any things to do for the ram

[tiny zephyr]

No, im going to do an upgrade for the cpu.

[vale adder]

i got a nice pc but i am serching for some good gaming monitors between 300-450 dolars per monitor

[lusty hinge]

i dont recommend either choice

[lusty hinge]

make sure they go in slots a2 and b2

also make sure theyre compatible

[lusty hinge]

you only need 1 good monitor

if you want 2, get 1 1440p 165hz monitor and then 1 60hz/120hz 1080p monitor

[haughty vault]

Its laptop so one slots :3

[lusty hinge]

ah even easier. make sure its the correct type of ram

its likely sodimm but there's a few that use udimm

[haughty vault]

Mines uses sodimm

Legion 5Pro 16arx8

[lusty hinge]

awesome

get a compatible stick of sodimm and thats it

[haughty vault]

Im getting 32 gig

SO 32GB Crucial CT32G56C46S5

[lusty hinge]

looks like it supports up to 32gb 5600mhz

awesome, that's what i was looking at

[haughty vault]

Nice XD

[haughty vault]

@lusty hinge

Is this also good for ssd

SSD drive NV2 1000GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 4.0 NVMe 3500/2100

Its a Kingston

[lusty hinge]

no

[haughty vault]

Damnit

[haughty vault]

What then

Would this be better?

or just get samsung evo 970 1tb

[lusty hinge]

none of them

[lusty hinge]

what country are you in?

[haughty vault]

Lithuania🇱🇹

So the only good thing I found was ram lol

Or just get the same ssd my laptop came with

[lusty hinge]

i believe the vp4300 is a good price

id have to double check

[haughty vault]

k

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZVL21T0HCLR-02DY5T-Desktop-Console/dp/B0B7X66QWZ

Should I just get the ssd thats already in my laptop then

[lusty hinge]

you could do

[lusty hinge]

whats the price on that

[haughty vault]

amazon

but u cant get it

: (

[lusty hinge]

ah

let me check some pricings rq

[haughty vault]

K

We have here a website called kaina that u can see each stores price, but it isnt listed

Also

I found the vp u said for 72 so ig it will work

Honestley i found the same for 78 but it would save the hastle of buying from two shops

[lusty hinge]

vi5000 2tb should be cheap

us75, xg7000, a95, nm790 , s880
they are often well priced.

[haughty vault]

Nah

Its 133

[tiny zephyr]

what do you recommed?

[lusty hinge]

do you own any part of a pc

or are you building a new one

[tiny zephyr]

i own a pc, I thought I’d upgrade for the cpu

[lusty hinge]

what country are you from

US?

if you could fill this in with what you own
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

and then provide a budget and what youre using it for, i could help

[tiny zephyr]

italy

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[lusty hinge]

if you could do this ill help

a 7700x + 4060 is... something

[tiny zephyr]

now i have: i9-9900kf, asus z390 , 32 gb ddr4 , 1tb ssd , rtx 4060, 750 watt power supply

[lusty hinge]

you already own a 4060

?

ryzen 7600, b650 pro rs, t create 6000mz cl30

[tiny zephyr]

yes

i have like 700€ of budget

[lusty hinge]

should easily fit this

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/ND889c

@tiny zephyr

[tiny zephyr]

ok , thank you

[lusty hinge]

no problem

[haughty vault]

So @lusty hinge just get the viper ssd u recommended

[lusty hinge]

vp4300?

[haughty vault]

ye

[lusty hinge]

if its 133 no

[lusty hinge]

check the prices on these ones

[haughty vault]

This one is

[lusty hinge]

awesome

get that one then

[haughty vault]

Thats 72

[lusty hinge]

i use the vi5000

what size are you trying to buy

[haughty vault]

vi5000 is 133

!tb

[lusty hinge]

hm

vp4300 should do the trick

[haughty vault]

Yuppa

[lusty hinge]

check the sn850 pricing

sometimes its really low

i doubt it though

[haughty vault]

It'll cost me 173.2 eur

so im happy

[lusty hinge]

yeah get that other one then

[haughty vault]

That other is the vp4300

[lusty hinge]

yeah, thatll do

[haughty vault]

Thanks man

Also just to clarify that this ram is great for the upgrade SO 32GB Crucial CT32G56C46S5

[lusty hinge]

yeah its good

[haughty vault]

Also ASDF movie 15 dropped

[pulsar fossil]

Which is about frigging time, those are so great 😄

[haughty vault]

So true, but also sorry if not in chat theme

[pulsar fossil]

All good, it was just a little side note 😄

[haughty vault]

Aok

[fair hare]

If it's the wrong channel I'm sorry, but I'm looking for information regarding a 2 PC setup using Sonar to route Audio to OBS. If anyone has done this, I'd like to know how it's routed (which audio sources are on which pc and how to route to hear it while streaming) or if there is a video out there (I haven't been able to find out) that might explain it for me. Thank you

[alpine dawn]

thx

[glossy quiver]

is my pc good? 4070ti i7 13700k 32g ddr5 1tb storage

[pulsar fossil]

Seems decent enough. Does it do what you want it to?

[glossy quiver]

use it for fortnite, i can easily do what i want it to but do I take it off of performance mode

and start using direct 12

[lusty hinge]

yes

well

ideally yes

but do what you want

[lean shard]

https://imgur.com/Gi2Hnrv

this build good for the price?

[static pecan]

Damn Corsair is unironically selling a 7900X3D with a 4060TI 💀

Everything else is pretty decent. Although they could easily lower the memory count to 32GB and put the money towards at least a 4070 for that price. Regardless, if that's what you're looking at, I'd personally sell that 4060TI and use the money from that towards a 4080/7900

At least I assume the main use case is gaming in which case you definitely need a better card to match the rest of the specs

[lusty hinge]

7900x3d isnt even good for gaming

[lusty hinge]

do you have a link to the prebuilt

oooh

nvm im an idiot

[lusty hinge]

i dont think ive ever seen a bigger waste of money

[lean shard]

But of advice what would suggest?

What would you suggest

[lusty hinge]

building your own

[lean shard]

That is me building it

[lusty hinge]

holy

what are you using the pc for? gaming?

[lean shard]

Tbh I’ve only been around pcs for around 3-4 months so I’m still new to it. And yes and I’m an admin so need the storage

[lusty hinge]

whats your primary use of the pc

[lean shard]

Admin rn but I’m not always going to be that I game a lot aswell

So 50/50 right now

[lusty hinge]

when you say admin what exactly do you do

just spreadsheet stuff?

[lean shard]

No admin for a rust server

[lusty hinge]

ah

[lean shard]

So yeah mainly gaming

[lusty hinge]

gaming

[lean shard]

Yh

[lusty hinge]

is your budget 1.5k

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/fM8kN6 @lean shard

[lean shard]

No

2k

[lusty hinge]

2k???

[lean shard]

Yh

[lusty hinge]

dont even look at this one then

Suggestions for upgrading my graphics card?
Budget around 700/800 Euros.

I currently have an RTX 3070, which will go into my girlfriend's PC because her 1080 has decided to stop working.
A bit of an upgrade would be nice, I'm see alot of 4070, 4070 Supers, and AMD cards around this budget.

[lusty hinge]

id be happy to give you a recommendation.
what country is this in and what do you use your computer for?

it would also help if you could share what power supply you have, but ill assume its got sufficient clearance anyway

[muted basin]

Thanks!
I'm from the Netherlands.
PC is mainly used for gaming and work (I from home, but no heavy things, just webdevelopment).

My powersupply at this moment is a Coolermaster G650M

[lusty hinge]

650w might be a biiit tight.

what cpu + motherboard do you have?

[muted basin]

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
B550 Aorus Pro V2

[lusty hinge]

ah, thats great

i believe a 7900 gre could easily work then.

ill double check though, give me a moment

[muted basin]

Thanks! 🙂

[lusty hinge]

it should work yes

a 7900 gre will cost you around 600 euros, but i wouldnt personally recommend getting much higher than it unless you upgrade to a 750/850w psu

cheapest gre i can see is 560 euros

if you wanted, that leaves you enough budget to also get a new psu. although it shouldn't be necessary

[muted basin]

PSU upgrade will not be a problem, we just set a budget for the GPU

[lusty hinge]

ah. if you wanted i could link you a PSU and choose a better gpu?

[muted basin]

Yeah exactly!

[lusty hinge]

awesome. ill do that then

bare with me a second

you could get yourself a 7900 XT if you wanted best value (gaming) performance at that price point. it has 20GB vram which should also suit you plenty for the time being.

for a PSU, id recommend either an MSI MAG A850GL, or a be quiet! Pure Power 12M

both psus should be 850w

the msi mag is cheaper than the pure power but i believe the pure power is a tad bit better in terms of quality

the cheapest 7900XT is 742 euros, and if you wanted a white one, they're pretty cheap

749 euros for the cheapest white XT

[muted basin]

I do not really care about the color haha, my pc is a mix already between white and black. CPU AIO is white.
Thanks man, i will look into that

[lusty hinge]

haha awesome then, feel free to @ me if you want help with anything else.

ill respond as soon as i can

[lone tartan]

can someone help me my apex pro tkl is spamming random keys

[compact star]

does that mean you're getting random keypresses or that when you press random keys sometimes it won't stop?

[lone tartan]

I am getting random keys spammed and I tried to unplug and make the actuation higher but I don’t know what I should do @everone

Please help!!!

[pulsar fossil]

Contact support or rma it where you bought it

We can't help you unfortunately

Also this is very much the wrong channel :)

[lusty hinge]

yeah i get hype to hear pings/see activity from this channel just for it to be nonsense

[haughty vault]

@lusty hinge Just ordered my parts and when I get them what tools do I need to pry open the backplate. Outside of using Philips screwdriver for screws

[lusty hinge]

pry open the backplate??

what the hell are you doing?

the only thing you will need to assemble a pc is a screwdriver

youll need 2 phillips head screwdrivers and thats it.

one small sized one for things like m.2 slot.
one larger one for literally everything else

[haughty vault]

Yeah but once I tried opening it without screws and I couldn't open it

Some of the videos i watched of it being opened the ppl where using a plastic prying tool

Go to 0.18s

https://youtu.be/WJ9xYJ4gejQ?si=1epFiAa5-2VeCtrC

[lusty hinge]

ah yeah, youre on a laptop. thats my mistake

oh it literally just looks like anything thin enough to fit in

thats not a special tool

[haughty vault]

Yeah lol

[lusty hinge]

@pulsar fossil dont know whats going on here but you might want to delete

big ups lennart

[pulsar fossil]

Some people are weird

[lusty hinge]

[lusty hinge]

2 steps to building a pc.

STEP 1 Get the parts

STEP 2 Build it

[lusty hinge]

no not really

if you just say get the parts you end up with rubbish

samsung ssd.. corsair ram... nzxt aio...

lian li uni fans especially

£90 for a bundle of 3 when i can get 9 TL-M12 that look identical for £70

[sweet jasper]

what're everyones suggestions for fans? RGB prefered. Looking at NZXT f120 core. Looks like good airflow (78cfm) but open to other suggestions.

seems people online either care about looks or performance, but not both.

[lusty hinge]

what are you trying to spend

well

willing to spend

if you want something cheap that gets the job done. TL-C12.

if you want something cheap that gets the job done AND looks nice? M12

[sweet jasper]

Im not too woried about budget tbh.

[lusty hinge]

awesome. what country?

US?

[sweet jasper]

US

[lusty hinge]

2 seconds

b12 extreme are good iirc

extreme/extrem i cant remember

if you want 140mm c14 fans are good

p12 max also

@sweet jasper

[sweet jasper]

Thank you, any rgb options? I know rgb can be tacky but I like the option

[lusty hinge]

uhhh

im not too sure if theres much of a market for high movement rgb fans

i could take a look though

[shell bay]

Tbh, hard to make assumption. what specs are you running ? If your running just a standard gaming pc with no parts with insane demanding powers. any fan is basiclly okay. Lian Li' are nowadays very popular. Since they are just meant to move air. The type of case matters more than the fans itself imo

[lusty hinge]

assumption? he asked for fan suggestions that move a good bit of air

lian li fans are dogshit

considering their price point (almost 90GBP for a 3 pack) they are extremely mediocre

genuinely shouldn't buy them unless the only thing you want from your pc is to look nice

if you want better, thermalright makes clones of them which are actually good for the price. theyre called the M12

if you want rgb, TL-M12-S

if you dont care about blade rgb, TL-M12

[lusty hinge]

just had someone dm me asking if they should buy the nzxt kraken

i hate discord

How do I turn off sidetone?

[leaden rampart]

Many SteelSeries headsets come with Sidetone, which allow you to hear yourself through the headset’s mic for better clarity when talking.

For most headsets, the volume of the Sidetone can be lowered in SteelSeries Engine, which is part of GG. GG can be downloaded here: https://steelseries.com/gg

If you have a “Playstation” version of a headset (such as the Arctis Nova 7P) then your headset may have a physical wheel on the headset for turning the sidetone down.

For analog headsets that use the 3.5mm headphone port, sidetone may be generated by your on-board audio devices. Please refer to your computer manufacturer’s support for more help

[pulsar fossil]

Like that 👆

[shell bay]

Yeah my point is like if your specs are like mid tier, i5 cpu, 3060 etc. Then any kind of fans are going to make to job done.. heck even cheap back in the days nzxt ones will do it. I dont think subjects like this arent really thinks to think about alot imo

Just get any ones from any reasonable brand and your good to go. Case is something more important to check on for good airflow with decent fans..

[lusty hinge]

i5 means nothing

[shell bay]

mid tier

[lusty hinge]

no

i5 means nothing

a 10 year old i5 would be beaten by a modern i3

you cant just say "intel i5"
