Just wanna have an upgrade path too tbh

Perfect cheers

[lusty hinge]

are you open to aliexpress?

[cedar jungle]

Don’t mind

[lusty hinge]

alright

i completely forgot to ask. are you going to need wifi? @cedar jungle

or can you use ethernet

[cedar jungle]

Ye

[proud dune]

yeah, the game mode is very similar to the style of some police operations here, which makes everyone want to have the tactical experience

[lusty hinge]

alright

[pulsar fossil]

Not sure I understand but okay

[lusty hinge]

@cedar jungle
if you purchase from the retailers linked on here, it should come to £999

if youre open to use aliexpress, you could get a 7500f for £100. the only issue is that there is no warranty or customer service. its a thing that not many do.

i personally own 2 7500f cpus

[cedar jungle]

Can’t lie I’m willing to take that risk

[lusty hinge]

awesome.

[cedar jungle]

Ima look into building a pc first

[sand gale]

just bought a new pc and cant get the artic 7 mic to work if my life depended on it, help any1?

[lusty hinge]

try checking with #1047622297382567936
if nothing works, #official-support

[cedar jungle]

Is there not a cheaper case or is that the best for the price?

[lusty hinge]

2 seconds

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/kKcgXL/montech-air-903-base-atx-mid-tower-case-air-903-base-b

£49 instead

only difference is it loses 1 front fan and lacks RGB

[cedar jungle]

Is there anywhere else I can get the parts cheaper or is the best place recommended by that website?

Not cheaping out jus tryna save money 😭

[lusty hinge]

you could try looking for some used on ebay but that website is a price comparison site used to find the cheapest price

if you want to save £40 the CPU comes with a stock cooler

it isnt the greatest, or the quietest, but it works

[cedar jungle]

For the cpu cooler it’s tryna tell me I can get it by December

Any other recommendations?

[lusty hinge]

ah

let me get you a different link

[lusty hinge]

https://amzn.eu/d/2Yc3GaS

cheaper.

1.3 what

bananas?

i need to know country, budget in your currency, if you have any interest in overclocking, and any aesthetic preferences

[opal nova]

im trying to build a pc but idk yet if i should use nvidia or amd as the graphic card, got some friends that got rx 7900 xt 20gb and they said its pretty good, and some others got Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12gb and i should go for nvidia.

[lusty hinge]

depends what youre going for

[rose bough]

Random question out of curiosity.

Do the optimal RAM slots depend on the MOBO, or are they always 2 and 4?

Because I've seen people say both.

[lusty hinge]

check your motherboard manual

[rose bough]

I was more asking which is the case since I've had people tell me both. I know to consult the manual, I am just wondering if the 2 and 4 thing is always true like people say it is.

[lusty hinge]

2 and 4 is commonly correct

there are a handful of boards that are not 2 and 4

[rain flower]

bogos binted

[noble oak]

is this bulid any good im getting a 3060 12gb with a ryzen 5 5600 16g ram 1tb sdd nzxt h5 flow and if anyone can tell me a good aio that would be great

my budget is 1.1 k

[lusty hinge]

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

https://amzn.eu/d/gACYivg

@noble oak

significantly better than the previous

if you wanted to save a fiver the 750w version is cheaper

[noble oak]

would it be okay if i can change the case to a nzxt h5 flow my friend just bought a new case and gave me this case for free

[lusty hinge]

yeah sure

thats fine

saves you money if anything

ah actually

h5 flow is mATX iirc

@noble oakis it the black or white h5

[noble oak]

black

[lusty hinge]

i need to change the aio but thats fine

are you happy with an aircooler or do you want an aio

[noble oak]

ty sm

[lusty hinge]

no problem

[gaunt sleet]

Yo is anyone on rn

💀

my audio keeps cutting out from the mic im using

idk why

its so weird

when im playing something or trying to do something on my pc my audio will cut out and then turn back on

then I gotta change my settings because it automatically turns on steel series output device

I dont want it on that

I got razer headphones

all I want is my mic to be changed not my headphones

I keep putting it on defaults but when it cuts out

it changes them

I dont understand

I also keep getting this stuff

I got a razer headset with a hyperX mic

its the older version so it doesnt work in the hyperX app

which is why im using this one which I think works with it

[tiny zephyr]

what should i pick between lian li o11 dynamic and montech king 95 pro?

[lusty hinge]

king 95 pro has better airflow and better value. comes with lots of accessories, including a mesh panel swap. also comes with included 140mm reverse fans, 120mm reverse fans, and 120mm fans. it includes a fan and argb hub in the rear.

o11 dynamic is just... a case

[noble oak]

@prisma tartan

[lusty hinge]

He’s my friend

[rancid heart]

ya

whats ur budget

dm me

[lusty hinge]

why would you move it to dms

how are you supposed to be challenged for wrong information if its in a private conversation

[noble oak]

That’s why I didn’t dm that person

[lusty hinge]

whats your budget & country? are you gaming?

[tulip steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/shivering-dog-shiver-me-timbers-shiver-me-timbers-dog-gif-23060744

[woven mural]

dont ask to ask

[noble oak]

2500 dollars

And yes I’m gaming

[lusty hinge]

what country

[rose bough]

So question because I just learned about this. What's the deal with CAMM2 RAM?

[lusty hinge]

its sexy

it needs to release already

[rose bough]

I more mean should I even bother with it if I'm planning an AM5 DDR5 build?

[lusty hinge]

no

[rose bough]

Assuming I'm not forced to, I mean.

[lusty hinge]

still no

[rose bough]

What I mean by "forced to" is if the MOBO tech changes to force it before I can build the PC, I really don't have a choice.

[lusty hinge]

thats not going to happen any time soon

even then nothing stops you from just buying a ddr5 board

[errant fractal]

is someone here familiar with repasting thermal paste on a laptop?

i have a question

im trying to clean this heatsink but there is this microscopic thin layer of thermal paste wich wont come of. even with alcohol.

and before u ask, the scratches on the right heatsink were already there when i opened it up

and my question: what should i do about that? leave it like it is and put new paste on it or try to use stronger cleaning methods wich i dont know about.

[lusty hinge]

leave it

re-paste and clean the fans and youre good

if youre still not happy with temps, undervolt

[errant fractal]

Ye i just left it like that, and im pretty happy with the temps but still have to do a full benchmark. but thx for the fast response.

[lusty hinge]

[lusty hinge]

[rose bough]

Question out of curiosity. If I wanted to move off of Windows, what OS would y'all recommend?

I know nothing about Linux beyond the fact that it exists and don't even know if there is more than those two options.

[torn brook]

MacOS

Super stable, my dad's used it for 20+ years, i myself started gaming on it for about 2 years, then onto Windows

windows is buggy, user-unfriendly, and unstable as hell comparing to Macintosh

you can put windows on a mac, but not mac on a pc sadly

Linux is also nice but would work better on worse devices like a steam deck

[rose bough]

I've already got windows 10, my PC can't use windows 11 and I'm building a new PC anyways.

[torn brook]

Yes, well, you can not put MacOS onto a windows machine.

You can not build a Mac either, you can pay the cost of a car for a prebuilt one

Just stick with Windows/Linux

[rose bough]

Yeah I'm building a new gaming rig. It was originally gonna be a case swap but the MOBO died so I am just doing a full rebuild since I'd basically be doing one anyway.

[torn brook]

Go with windows. And team Red. 💪

You'll be fine

get a cheap windows key online instead of paying 199 for a windows license

[rose bough]

I'm already planning to go team red and I've got a 3070 already. I also already have an activated copy of Windows 10, I just don't know if I can move that from one drive to another.

(I'd be getting a 2 TB m.2 instead of the 500 GB one I've got.)

[lusty hinge]

why would you suggest grey market keys

LMFAO

theyre purchased with stolen credit cards and are very often shut down and you're left without a license

just pay $139 for a 1-time windows license (Windows 11 Home Retail Download) and you literally never have to pay again

linked to your MS account

[lusty hinge]

you can move it but you want to reinstall windows anyway

moving windows often brings instability, especially moving it across different architecture

[rose bough]

I mean, I'd have to buy another windows key for that which isn't worth it, considering it's Windows 10.

[lusty hinge]

no you dont

lol

[rose bough]

I don't know how I'd reinstall it then, considering it's already installed in a partition on the old drive

[lusty hinge]

create a bootable USB using the windows media creation tool

move the ssd into the pc

[rose bough]

(It was a custom build, it came that way.)

[lusty hinge]

change your boot priority in BIOS

then reinstall

[rose bough]

See the problem there is I don't think I have a USB big enough.

[lusty hinge]

you need an 8GB usb

8GB or higher

[rose bough]

I have a 16GB but I have no idea where the hell it is atm.

Plus it's old as hell.

[lusty hinge]

USBs are cheap, and age doesn't matter

as long as it works and is 8GB+

[rose bough]

When I say "old as hell" I mean it's almost as old as I am, it was my grandfather's before it was mine.

And I'm almost 28.

[lusty hinge]

if it works it works 🤷‍♂️

but if you want do just order a some online or something

they're cheap

if youre in the US theres a 64GB USB on Newegg for like $3 rn

[rose bough]

I'm assuming I can create the partition for it on install on the new drive?

[rose bough]

Also I don't know if this is even possible atm

[lusty hinge]

you have a PC now no?

[rose bough]

For the previously stated reason

[lusty hinge]

it can be any windows 10/11 device

but to reinstall windows you install your SSD and you put the USB into the PC, enter BIOS, change Boot Priority to your USB bootable device and then restart your PC

[rose bough]

Again. Dead MOBO.

[lusty hinge]

do you have like a laptop or anything

or friends with a windows device

worst case scenario you just buy a windows USB from microsoft

[rose bough]

I do but it's a different OS with different files.

[lusty hinge]

yeah that won't work

if youve got any mates with a windows 10/11 device that'll do

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-home/dg7gmgf0krt0

[rose bough]

And considering windows is shutting down a bunch of the Windows 11 accessibility features (it's got windows 11) like control panel

[lusty hinge]

not sure if its in stock

i havent personally heard about that but considering windows 10 is just being straight shut down in a year... id still choose 11

[rose bough]

I don't know the specifics but basically they're shutting down access to Control Panel and forcing everyone to use the actual Settings app

[lusty hinge]

ill take a look into that later

[rose bough]

And unless they move everything over and make Settings actually usable

[lusty hinge]

weird

[rose bough]

We'll be losing access to a whole half of settings on Windows

Like Network settings for internet

[lusty hinge]

yeah they'll probably end up changing something else along with it

[rose bough]

But yeah the old PC with the dead MOBO has 10, the laptop has 11

[lusty hinge]

thats fine

ill send the link

[rose bough]

I also asked this which I assume you missed

[lusty hinge]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

[rose bough]

Mind DMing this to me so I don't have to look for it later?

[lusty hinge]

yeah sure

[rose bough]

On my phone atm is all

[lusty hinge]

sent it

[lusty hinge]

and yeah

[rose bough]

Thanks

But yeah my main thing is I don't even know if brand matters when it comes to USB for this

[lusty hinge]

nope

it could be the absolute worst USB ever

as long as it works

and is 8GB+

[rose bough]

Like the only decent brand I even know is Sandisk

[lusty hinge]

ill see if i can find that newegg link

[rose bough]

And I don't know if they even make USBs anymore

[lusty hinge]

yes

[rose bough]

I only know they make microSD now

[lusty hinge]

https://www.newegg.com/team-model-tc17164gb01/p/N82E16820331705

[rose bough]

Speaking of which

Suggestion for a good microSD for my switch?

[lusty hinge]

uhhhh

[rose bough]

(It got fried but I'm pretty sure the SD card is good, I'm just upgrading the capacity)

[lusty hinge]

nothing really specific tbh as long as it isnt some completely unknown manufacturer

teamgroup should have some good ones but 🤷‍♂️

[rose bough]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-1tb-microsdxc-uhs-i-memory-card-for-nintendo-switch/6541832.p?skuId=6541832&extStoreId=1475&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=19737895599&gad_source=4&gclid=CjwKCAjwiaa2BhAiEiwAQBgyHn1ff5AGuBIzYnWVkO6FUyYa_0SsmfjvnUJH0OIUjxh2E4pWVLXeYBoCFHwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

That's the one I was looking into getting

But I'm not sure if it's worth the $150 price tag.

[lusty hinge]

you might be able to find one a bit cheaper elsewhere

but good luck finding a 1TB microSD for anything much lower

after about 256gb its just

[rose bough]

Oh also, my friend is selling me his Steam Deck and I'm curious, does that also have expandable microSD storage?

[lusty hinge]

iirc yeah

[rose bough]

(I know you can expand the storage, I just don't know if it's microSD or m.2)

[lusty hinge]

yeah theres a slot for microSD

on the bottom it seems

[tiny zephyr]

Any suggestion for a 1500€ build with a Rtx 4070 super ?

[lusty hinge]

what country

also what for? gaming?

[tiny zephyr]

Italy and for gaming

[lusty hinge]

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

you can change it to a 4070 super if youd like

they perform within margins of eachother

[torn brook]

really? i thought the rx 6800 performs almost as good as a normal 4070 without the Ray Tracing

so i'd assume a 7900 gre would beat it vastly, even the super

[lusty hinge]

the 6800 is on par with the 7700xt. 7900 GRE is better

also youre using the 4070

i mentioned the 4070 Super

which is on par with the 7900 GRE

[torn brook]

yeah ofc the GRE is better, its a gen ahead

[torn brook]

"i'd assume a 7900 gre would beat it vastly, even the super"

[lusty hinge]

oh yeah lol

let me check for you

[torn brook]

i thought all 7900, GRE XT and XTX were basically a 4080

[lusty hinge]

no

7900 GRE is comparable to a 4070 Super / 3080 Ti

the XTX is better than both a 4080 and 4080 Super

7900 XT is somewhere in the ballpark of a 4070 Ti Super and a 3090 Ti / 4080

[torn brook]

Right

[lusty hinge]

the 7900GRE performs 30% better than a 6800 on average

[torn brook]

Here, take a look at my PC parts, tell me, should I get the GRE, XT or XTX?
I currently have a RX 6800 + R5 5600x
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1E046HB2B0G2A

[torn brook]

Nice

I dont want to up the price by another 200 dollars though

[lusty hinge]

oui

how come youve got 64GB?

well, wanting to get

[torn brook]

I have 128gb ddr4 rn, best thing ever

i will go for 32 if it has faster speeds

and lower/same timings

but no less

I sometimes do AI work

and have a lot stuff open

[lusty hinge]

ahh that makes sense

[torn brook]

I would be playing a game with mods and it could use around 20gb ram alone

hell, even CC engine_x64 uses like 15 or 16 idle

[lusty hinge]

hm

do you need anything more than 32GB then?

[torn brook]

Future proof as well

32 or more

[lusty hinge]

ill go for 32gb

whats your budget

[torn brook]

i'm comfy with 64 though

[torn brook]

under 2k

[slate crypt]

Anyone familiar with audio setup for htpc?

I have a computer connecting to my sony tv via hdmi and to the 5.1 system (edifier s760d) with 3.5mm from my pc.

But i have a ps4 (ps5 in the future) also connecting to the TV.

I notice people can connect to the sound system via hdmi arc so that the TV become a hub for audio. But my speakers doesnt have hdmi arc.

Is there anything (converter or sth) so that i can connect my speakers directly to the TV with hdmi arc? Can I control my speaker volume from the TV directly if I do so?

Thanks in advance

[devout wolf]

use the optical input on the speakers, your TV should have an optical output too

you'll need a toslink cable

[slate crypt]

can optical output 5.1?

[dire moss]

[chrome wren]

Anyone have WIRED in-ear earphone for gaming recommendations?

[pulsar fossil]

English only please

[lusty hinge]

in ear?

not these then?

if youre fine with these... KSC 75

[chrome wren]

Just in-ear

[lusty hinge]

hm

let me scroll through my purchase history

[lusty hinge]

@chrome wren KZ ZSN

you can get them on aliexpress for like a fiver

well, a little more

theyre solid earphones

recommended quite a lot by the audio nerds

[plucky phoenix]

I own ZS 10 pros and they are excellent

I imagine these other models are similar

[lusty hinge]

gosh i love you

they are indeed similar

cheaper slightly worse

yours are better

[plucky phoenix]

I've also got moondrops aria snow, which I like

But between the two is definitely a matter of preference

[lusty hinge]

theyre pretty cool

ive seen them before

[plucky phoenix]

Another reputed IEM are the linsoul tins

I bought a sibling a pair for christmas but I never actually got to try them

I think it was tinHiFi T2, not sure if there are newer models by now (probably)

[lusty hinge]

those are pretty solid

couldnt comment on them myself ivenot used them

but from what ive heard theyre great

[plucky phoenix]

aye

hope the recommendations help NightWulf, any of the 3 I mentioned are great 👍 just depends on your budget I guess

[lusty hinge]

[plucky phoenix]

I don't recall any of them being more than like 50 - 80 USD

[lusty hinge]

they are not

i checked as you suggested lol

[chrome wren]

Might have to get them, I used my Bluetooth earphones and they were a vibe not having a whole headset on my head, but Bluetooth and they aren't that great

[lusty hinge]

hell yeah

[chrome wren]

And better for lan events that have sponsored headsets, can just have earphones under them that I'd be used to

[lusty hinge]

lol yeah that works

[pulsar fossil]

Check out Crinacle Zero

[noble oak]

I've been eyeing these! However, what mic do you use? I picked up the artic pro headset and I keep getting told my mic sounds awful lol. so I'm returning and potentially getting the ZS 10's + a mic

[plucky phoenix]

I've just been using a blue snowball for the better part of 4 - 5 years

Good quality and no hassle, sits on your desk with it's own tripod (it's quite large; a bit larger than a softball altogether)

Pretty sure this tripod unscrews so you can mount it to a mic boom if you wanted

I was never as big into microphones as much as IEMs and headphones, but well, it works well what can I say

Can't forsee it having problems after so long suddenly either unless I dropped it from the second story

[tulip iron]

i have them to... 🔝 🔝

[chrome wren]

Obviously a headset would be better, but can in-ear do directional sound at all?

[thorn osprey]

Hi everyone.

[noble oak]

KSC75

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[lusty hinge]

of course

[devout wolf]

they do it very well

IEMs have better positioning than closed-back headphones

[chrome wren]

So which earphones should I get for gaming, with the best positioning and everything if money isn't a problem

Just want the absolute best ones

That are wired

[lusty hinge]

any of the ones suggested previously will do the trick

although

i may have a tier list somewhere

[pulsar fossil]

High end IEMs with custom ear tips?

[lusty hinge]

i gots a budget list https://razan06.blogspot.com/2024/05/budget-iem-recommendation-list.html

Are these fancy enough? 😅

This reddit post might have some useful info https://www.reddit.com/r/inearfidelity/s/G0wLQGlEY4

[mint swan]

Anyone have a good monitor light bar recommendation that isn't through the roof? I have a curved monitor

[lusty hinge]

why a lightbar

get a lamp

[mint swan]

Takes up less space

Which I don't have loads of

[lusty hinge]

do you not have any lights in your room

[mint swan]

I do

But when my brother who shares my room is sleeping I can't have the overhead lights on

[lusty hinge]

makes sense

[mint swan]

Not to mention, they just look so much sleeker

[lusty hinge]

xiaomi does a good one

you might be able to get it cheaper on aliexpress

[mint swan]

I'll have to look into it

[noble oak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kkV94M

how's that?

cheaper and better overall. more CPU performance + unlocked, more RAM, storage, and a better GPU

but that's not taking aesthetics into account

then again it's overall a price to performance build

I tend to notice I don't use 16gb of VRAM unless I'm trying to (4060 ti 16gb owner, OC'd to better perf than 3090), and 32gb of RAM isn't quite enough for futureproofing.

it's a good midrange, but that's like a pc that you'd see and go "okaayyyyy, not bad, not bad" whereas 64gb seems a lil high even by today's standards. 48gb is a nice middle ground that's a nice beefy spec

good for modded minecraft with distant horizons

lol

[lusty hinge]

well if youre choosing 48GB of RAM for future proofing thats a bit silly

but you chose a mid kit

also a very meh SSD

its a UK list so if you switch the PCPP country to UK you can see UK pricing

notably youd see the Transcend 250S for £99.95

[noble oak]

well I'm in US too

[lusty hinge]

aah

right

[noble oak]

48gb RAM is really good too though

[lusty hinge]

it sure is

[noble oak]

if you want, it's got the highest speeds

[lusty hinge]

it helps if you choose a better kit though

[noble oak]

yeah, but that's budget.

[lusty hinge]

although the good 48gb kits get expensive

[lusty hinge]

well how much are you spending

[noble oak]

remember, my build there has better overall specs at a price cut of like 70-80 bucks or more

[lusty hinge]

or is this alterations to the one i made

[noble oak]

it's one i made

legit just type uk.pcpartpicker instead of just pcpartpicker

to see uk prices

[lusty hinge]

yesh.. i know

[noble oak]

yeah

[lusty hinge]

a lot of those things become pretty meh in the UK

2tb ssd for example is rubbish compared to the 250S being cheaper and better

[noble oak]

also

crucial is really good for reliability on RAM and SSD's

[lusty hinge]

although im happy to take another look and make another that sacrifices aesthetics for performance

[lusty hinge]

it depends on model

its silly to choose brand

[noble oak]

the ones i picked are good

[lusty hinge]

the P3 PLUS is not good and isnt something id buy

there are cheaper, better SSDs

[noble oak]

well it's better than my 7yo ssd that's in my current rig rn

[lusty hinge]

sure

[noble oak]

7yo 1tb that just says helix on the side

[lusty hinge]

lmfao nice

i have 2xP3 plus somewhere

ones in a scrap PC

[noble oak]

lucky

[lusty hinge]

another is... hiding

[noble oak]

i want more storage so bad

thinking about getting like a 14tb hdd

just bc

[lusty hinge]

it could be worse though. at least you didnt choose the NV2

[lusty hinge]

you can get them cheap refurbished

[noble oak]

like sure it's slow but it's more than I'd need for a while

[lusty hinge]

like $120 for 16TB iirc

[noble oak]

no they're hella cheap new too

[lusty hinge]

i mean youre in the US right?

[noble oak]

yeah

but then again a lot of stuff's initially cheap only to bite you in the ass with tax and other fees in checkout

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BqP8TW/patriot-viper-vp4300-lite-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-vp4300l2tbm28h

theres a pcie m.2 for $105

2tb

pretty nice

better hardware than the MP44L

[noble oak]

LOL

just looked up my ssd

looks like something totally random

like unknown bs

[lusty hinge]

are you willing to install crystal disk and SMI

[noble oak]

alr have crystaldisk

[lusty hinge]

http://vlo.name:3000/ssdtool

SMI

im interested in the hardware

[noble oak]

uhhh which thing do i get

[lusty hinge]

both work

[noble oak]

nvme flash id?

[lusty hinge]

let me quickly reinstall SMI

[noble oak]

check DMs

for log

[lusty hinge]

not used this drive for too long

i always install the wrong CDI..

anyway

i need to install my 250S

ill be back later with the hardware 😊

[lusty hinge]

250S has been secured

and now SMI, PHISON and INNOGRIT dont want to work

GG

GJ

[modest drift]

✨

[astral aurora]

danm thats not good

[lusty hinge]

i mean

yesn't

its fine

its not like you want it at 20%

unused ram is just wasted

90+% usage is only an issue if you are consistently suffering performance loss from the lack of ram capacity

[brittle sundial]

I made a config, if you have any modifications to improve by an equivalent price I would do so, thank you

https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/dCRH6D

[lusty hinge]

what is this pc for

[brittle sundial]

gaming 100% , not streaming

[lusty hinge]

oh

it sucks

[fervent bane]

get intel cpu and get a z series mobo

[lusty hinge]

budget is 1.5k euros?

[lusty hinge]

lol what

[fervent bane]

amd sucks

[brittle sundial]

yes , i live in french

[lusty hinge]

alright

bare with me

[lusty hinge]

is 1567 euros fine?

https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/P4CqDZ

much better GPU

[brittle sundial]

merci , je la trouve mieux

[lusty hinge]

no problem

the RAM kit included is Hynix-M die so if you want to overclock it, its great

[brittle sundial]

sorry I didn't translate

[brittle sundial]

is this really necessary? ^^

[lusty hinge]

no it isnt

its just a nice bonus

[brittle sundial]

yes because they are already very good I think

[lusty hinge]

yes they are already good

you can optionally purchase more fans for the bottom and top if youd like, but it isnt necessary

[brittle sundial]

ok thanks

[lusty hinge]

no problem

enjoy

My new case has a usb c port on it but my motherboard doesn't have a usb c header. Does someone have an adapter they found that works for them?

[lusty hinge]

there are many adapters online, even on amazon. they will limit you to slower speeds though

[mint swan]

Ok thanks something like this? https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Internal-Header-Degrees-Adapter/dp/B0B5CHQ33W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=10C0YAD1655T5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-yC623qPMuEFYyq3utqF7ieL9-Cdl2cEm9mxKOpDQ7uqjnvWK7aQBjJPkM6GLUUQBQpKZD-YlgpT6khpEiVqb_Qp5LGZ-v-ZJt4NZtwMBSEt_h0djreh2ezN-UN-T5aO__xMf-0DbuJCCBg3ZzohvsVbsHj0LWUFcTOwCtnYsQM9sCwkriuHP_2i0Qvr-T3Jx5m6J1JoqOjSn4o4Pt1oJA.Ab1vW7UkVCeHwUAukAJEdf9QIqVmWSX6mIxdf4bundc&dib_tag=se&keywords=usb+c+to+usb+2.0+motherboard+adapter&qid=1725751884&sprefix=usb+c+to+usb+2.+motherboard+adapter%2Caps%2C394&sr=8-1

[lusty hinge]

this works

if youre happy to give up USB-A i would get a 19 pin adapter instead https://amzn.eu/d/iLY2hin

you can probably get them for like... a dollar on aliexpress

[mint swan]

True, I could get a splitter and then do that. That's probably not a bad idea

Can anyone help me I’m looking for the fastest External Hard Drives, Internal Hard Drives, External SSDs, Internal SSDs?

[lusty hinge]

that is quite stupid

[fervent bane]

why external

[old vector]

Idk

Just went off of what it said

[zealous ravine]

Check the SSD reviews section of techpowerup. Not sure about hard drives but probably WD Black.

Best not to buy an external HDD or SSD because if the proprietary board breaks it'll be difficult to retrieve the data. It's safer to just buy an enclosure and slot in the HDD/SSD.

[old vector]

Ok fair enough thank you

[old vector]

Are Corsair good fans?

[lusty hinge]

what model

but no

[night kayak]

Is this worth 620 euro?

[pulsar shoal]

it's almost half price for not a year old computer so that's decent.. If you decide to buy I would consider to upgrade the RAM either 2 more of the same sticks in it or new 2x16 and sell the ones inside..

The CPU came out in 2022 so it's not older than that 😉

[night kayak]

Ye i like that its so new, lower risk then since it is used. I have a i7 6700k and 1070 with 16 ram but only 117gb ssd😂. Would be a good upgrade i guess

[long meteor]

could anyone help with this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/teflox/saved/#view=cm4x99

[lusty hinge]

it sucks

$700 is your budget?

go for ddr4 12400f instead

not sure why youre using US pcpp actually

[night kayak]

976,09 but could stretch, can you elaborate why it sucks

[lusty hinge]

are you aware this exists

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/sF8TwP

[lusty hinge]

2x8 ddr5, awful priced gpu

meh ssd + psu

whats your budget

in your currency

[night kayak]

what would you change on the ssd or psu. buget it 10 000 sek, but can stretch it

[lusty hinge]

do you need wifi

or do you use ethernet

[night kayak]

no wifi,

7700xt is better

but it costs more

[night kayak]

thanks. could i go for any of these instead? cheaper https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorkomponenter/grafikkort/amd/asus-radeon-rx-7600-xt-dual-oc-16gb/1033194.8988/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=p-se-netonnet-datorkomponenter-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv4KT96-_iAMVcxiiAx1HEQ40EAQYASABEgJ_OvD_BwE https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/368481-Sapphire-PULSE-RX-7600-XT-GAMING-OC?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Pmax | Bestsellers&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv4KT96-_iAMVcxiiAx1HEQ40EAQYAiABEgKD-_D_BwE

[lusty hinge]

sucks

but sure ig

[night kayak]

why do they suck, since i dont know much about this i want to know why to learn

[lusty hinge]

they cost more than competing gpus

[lusty hinge]

if you want a cheaper gpu get the 6650 XT

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/NDvdnQ/xfx-radeon-rx-6650-xt-8-gb-speedster-swft-210-core-video-card-rx-665x8dfdy

performs only about 3% worse than the 7600XT on average but costs much less

[night kayak]

i see, will go 7700 xt but would like ddr5 ram. Isnt that if significantly worse than the 7600x?

[lusty hinge]

no lol

well

yeah

but you cant afford it

not without making silly choices

why would you "like" ddr5 ram

[signal fern]

Help any

I need to buy laptop in under 15000rs indian currency

[dawn dock]

bru

[stuck thicket]

Why is minecraft making my fans work loud 💀

[lusty hinge]

because youre skill issueing

you have awful fan curves

[stuck thicket]

LOL idk what im doing

How do I fix them I just winged it

I turned down my render distance and the noise improved

[lusty hinge]

well yes

less load on gpu

so it wont draw as much power

resulting in lower temps

easiest fix is to do this

flat line supremacy

just play around with the fan curves

you can have them at whatever you want ig

as long as it doesnt throttle who cares

[stuck thicket]

No now you've made me self conscious of my fan curves

[lusty hinge]

lmfao happens

mine are constant 100%

so

steps is a common one

steps like this

[stuck thicket]

Oh interesting

I need a new gpu still

but they are so pricey

[night kayak]

Any opinions on this? Will the psu be enough and is there any other bigger case around the same price? Cable management could be hard atm?

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/mpMZkJ

[lusty hinge]

looks fine

psu is fine

why a.. bigger case?

[night kayak]

Since it’s a “micro” I tough cable management could be hard but I might be mistaken

[lusty hinge]

mistaken

besides

who cares about how the back looks

[night kayak]

Thanks! Someone said that the ram might not be compatible but from what I’ve gathered it should?

[lusty hinge]

that someone is silly

there is absolutely no reason it wouldnt be compatible

[night kayak]

Thanks, will order this tomorrow then 😊

[lusty hinge]

awesome

[night kayak]

Btw would a gold psu be worth it for temps? I have place for it in my budget, nog a big difference in price

[lusty hinge]

no

thats not how buying PSUs works anyway

but no

majority of the time PSUs can be passively cooled anyway

its only really under their high loads the fans actually necessary

[night kayak]

Yeah okay thanks

[lusty hinge]

no problem

Hello, i have a friend which have an AMD Ryzen 5 4500 and he was offered a MSI GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK OC 8GB GDDR6 DLSS3, can anyone tell me if there is bottleneck there?

[lusty hinge]

yes

so what

theres a bottleneck in every pc ever

[flat zealot]

i have a headset mic and when i try to connect it to my laptop it only uses the laptop mic instead of the headset mic can someone help

[lusty hinge]

are you switching it in settings

[night kayak]

any changes if i can stretch my budget a bit? Should i get another cpu maybe if i want to be able to upgrade gpu in the future?

[lusty hinge]

ryzen 5 7600 - cpu

or a 7900 GRE - gpu

although why upgrade cpu

anything further than a 6800 you should be at 1440p

[night kayak]

ah my bad, it was about a build for my brother i asked. He wants to buy this but we are unsure about the motherboard he want to play at 1080 and not have to upgrade in the next few years. Is this ok? https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/r964KX

[lusty hinge]

i mean, looks fine

h610 will limit cpu upgrades ig

but for 1080p it's solid

[hollow ibex]

Any ideas on how to improve my part list? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vgwk4M

[night kayak]

finished with the build now but im still looking for a motherboard. Many of them say i need to update bios so the motherboard can support the cpu. Could you suggest a motherboard where i wont have to do that hassle? https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/YhZzz6

id go for the 2nd one tbh

[night kayak]

It says only the last one is compatible without updating the bios. These should also work but which is best? https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/RH9wrH/gigabyte-b550m-k-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-k https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/mxZ9TW/biostar-b450mx-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b450mx https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/jQrRsY/asus-prime-b550m-a-wifi-ii-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-prime-b550m-a-wifi-ii

The last ones wifi is a plus but i only care about which would be best

[lusty hinge]

i would like to point out that its a warning/disclaimer that it could potentially need an update.

this is AM4

if you receive an old version, the easier fix is to return it and buy a new motherboard.

everything you buy now should realistically support any AM4 CPU

exception being 5500x3d.. whenever that releases

[night kayak]

ah okay. But would any of those be good? I dont care about the extra cost

[lusty hinge]

out of all 6 posted?

[night kayak]

ye if you know anything about them

[lusty hinge]

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/DLcG3C/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh

depends how much yourespending

if possible, spend the little more for the pro vdh

and feel free to ignore the user reviews under that gigabyte board. user reviews are silly.

[night kayak]

thanks! Since i dont know anything about motherboards would you mind explaining why the msi is better?

[lusty hinge]

VRMs, comes with a heatsink which is a nice little feature, more M.2 slots

also rear io

and the final touch

it has BIOS flashback

[night kayak]

whats that

[lusty hinge]

well, if what youre on about earlier happens

its no issue

you can update the BIOS using a USB without ever having turned the PC on before

you just need the CPU in the socket and your power connections properly flush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5aFhNh_u4U

life saver

and you know how fearmongering exists about the whole "BIOS is scary because if your pc loses power you brick your PC"

flashback eliminates that

youd have to completely fry your bios chip for it to be bricked atp

[night kayak]

Thanks man im saving the vid! If i start the pc with the cpu in and the motherboard isnt updated will something be damaged? I heard that coudl happen

[lusty hinge]

yesnt

it could

very unlikely

like, incredibly unlikely

even if, worst case scenario you just RMA it lol

[night kayak]

ok ill just do as the vid before i start to build the pc then

[lusty hinge]

go for it

[night kayak]

thanks alot man you have been very helpful during all this.

[lusty hinge]

no problem

Don't ask to ask :)

[fervent sinew]

[lusty hinge]

800 what

whats your budget, country and when are you buying
whats the pc for

[noble oak]

Sure I can help

[noble oak]

Do u want a setup for 900 or a pc for 900?

[lusty hinge]

what

ah yes

ignore the relevant questions and work from completely vague info

[fervent sinew]

Ye im tryna build like a gaming pc cuz the one i currently have is pre built and always blue screen

Even tho i also got it for 900 so im tryna see if it gon be better if i built it myself

[fervent sinew]

Im currently in the us

My budget is 800-900

And tryina build it for gaming

[lusty hinge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RM8TdH this is like

peak budgeting

you could probably get some nicer things if you ditched AM5

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cJV3VW for $10 more you can also get an AM5 board that doesnt look like crap

[gentle remnant]

i would go with intel and for that price u can probably use some of ur parts that u have and buy some core parts to make ur current pc run a hell of a lot better

with just upgrades

[lusty hinge]

okay so why dont you come up with a selection of parts

a 12600kf bundle from MC slaps

[fervent sinew]

Alr thanks

[gray mulch]

What price do you think is decent for a built pc it's got a i9 11900k rtx 3090 24gb 4tb of ssd nvme case Is a nzxt one, 32gb ram, Asus prime motherboard and a 850w psu

[lusty hinge]

ebay.com -> filter -> recently sold -> look at sell prices

[river bloom]

Why would you even buy 3090 thou ?

[gray mulch]

Why not?

[river bloom]

Have you any knowledge about tech and PC parts whatsoever ?

[gray mulch]

Not really just bought my first pc and that's what was in it

[lusty hinge]

you just bought it?

why does the price matter then

[gray mulch]

Yeah

[lusty hinge]

lol

[gray mulch]

Want to see if I got it for a decent price

[lusty hinge]

well

how much did you pay

[gray mulch]

Wasn't new btw this was second hand

[gray mulch]

£990

[lusty hinge]

i figured

meh

its alright like

enjoy the pc

[gray mulch]

I just bought what I got told was a good deal

[river bloom]

😄

Hopefully at least it works for more than 6 months ...

[gray mulch]

Damn you really have no faith in it?

Is there something wrong with a 3090?

[river bloom]

How old are you btw ?

[gray mulch]

20

[river bloom]

I see, well anything can happen since it's second hand stuff you never know .... I hope it works out for you, and you did not get ripped off ...

[gray mulch]

Ayt nws

[lusty hinge]

what

why

the only issue realistically would be the psu

because i dont know what psu it uses

[river bloom]

Everything is an issue, you have no idea if somebody actually tried some " repairs " on his own ...

[gray mulch]

True but that's always the risk with second hand

[river bloom]

So many times I have seen people buying GPUs and then couple of moths later they stopped working, you never know what is inside, you see the outside shell and you think its 3090, 3080, whatever but which exactly card, how much is used and was it in mining and so one ... Like the list is lon g ...

I would never buy second hand PC stuff ever... But that is me ...

[gray mulch]

Fair enough but ik where the guy lives

I told him I'm coming back if there's any problems

[river bloom]

And what ? You gonna get in trouble for 1 card or 1 pc ? Is not worth it in any case, if there is no warranty and you don't know the guy, for me at least is a no go buying like that ..

[lusty hinge]

why do you care about if it was mined on

any competent miner would have the card in a better condition than a gamer would

[river bloom]

That is so far away from the truth ....

[lusty hinge]

no it isnt

[river bloom]

How many competent miners do you know 😄

Like for real ?

[lusty hinge]

basically every miner

they undervolt the gpu by quite a bit

[river bloom]

Everyone is extremely abusive towards their cards and then just move on ...

[lusty hinge]

gamers typically leave the card stock

and fluctuate the load

whereas miners tend to have them undervolted and a persistent load

[river bloom]

I know, but obviously in different part of the world different stuff are happening, and most of the % of the miners are dumb as F, same as gamers if not worse in many cases ...

[lusty hinge]

youre still wrong

thats crazy

[river bloom]

Cool ... Let's agree to disagree ...

[lusty hinge]

no

because i know im right

thats the difference.

[river bloom]

What you know is non of my concern neither do I care of what you know, it's your life and your experience if you are blind enough to believe everyone everywhere does the same stuff as what is happening around you, you need a severe CHECK UP 😄

[lusty hinge]

what

im on about people mining on a gpu

not getting a check up

[river bloom]

Exactly not everybody does and maganes their mining rigs the same way as people around you, or in your group or whatever the F you are reading it ...

[lusty hinge]

the thing is, i never said that every miner treats the gpu well.

[river bloom]

In my country most of the miners are dumb as F and they don't even know what are they doing, they buy a machine or 10, abuse it on max wait for a miracle and then buys new ones ..

[lusty hinge]

majority of miners however do undervolt

theyre profit focused

some even flash vbios

[river bloom]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan again you are stuck with " majority " and " I know " and " I am right "

[lusty hinge]

gamers buy a gpu, put it in the system and the play games.

no changes to it

[river bloom]

No firstly they don't, second there is WORLD AROUND YOU and most of the people actually are clueless ...

[lusty hinge]

what do you think im basing my info from

you say this as if im going from joe next door

you're very condescending

[river bloom]

In any case, have a nice day ^^

[lusty hinge]

im having a nice day, thanks.

[river bloom]

Splendid. (=

[lusty hinge]

a lot of the time when people try to correct me with wrong information i tend to not care.

[river bloom]

It's not a wrong or right information, it's FACTS ............

[lusty hinge]

facts =/= right?

lol

[river bloom]

😂

[lusty hinge]

but i mean, sure. again, not every miner does

[river bloom]

Holy f ................ Yeah I really am done talking to you, it's like talking to a cow who goes " mooooo " and everything else is BS

[lusty hinge]

same way not every gamer leaves stock

my gpu is undervolted and power limited

i dont draw more than 250w ever

a lot of miners (not all, but a lot) undervolt. undervolting cuts down on the power use, thus increasing profit.

i do not claim ever to be all

there are idiots out there who just... leave it

ive seen it myself

but a lot cut down

[river bloom]

We got you the first time you wrote it, we know what undervolting is, and gamers are in many cases 10 times more carefull with their stuff than the average joe who bought a mining rig, connect is to the grid and wait to become a millionaire 😄

[lusty hinge]

no

you know what, okay.

youre right.

[river bloom]

Nah, it can't be 😄

As I said, lets agree to disagree ...

There is miners who are smart, there is gamers who actually cares about their stuff too

That does not make one or another thou the majority of people, I think is mostly based on region and information, in many countries people are dumb as F and beside watching Tik Tok and youtube " how to become a millionaire " are dellusional as F otherwise ...

I am talking about my experience with people, and miners in my country, majority ARE INSANELY CONFUSED of what is happening around them, and based on that I can tell you that the gamers in my country, are 20 times better in caring about their tech than the guy who bought something plug it on and wonders the F is happening ...

@inner wren

[verbal thicket]

what is the best steelseries headset?

[lusty hinge]

nova pro

or you could just buy

some other headset

[verbal thicket]

thanks bro i go take nova pro

[pulsar fossil]

That's a pretty vague question, depends a lot on your needs and preferences

Nova Pro wireless is the highest end headset SteelSeries has

[lusty hinge]

oh yeah forgor about wireless

[alpine dawn]

hey im looking to build my first pc, i want a white setup and i want to know if theres anything i should change, or if theres any white motherboards for around the same price or slightly higher https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9kFKCd

[grave cipher]

going white is stupid expensive btw

for $2k i'd expect a 4080/7800X3D system but if you are going to commit to it being white then thats about what i would expect

[zinc forum]

I have i7 4700k and GT 1030

Xd

[lusty hinge]

no it isnt

lol

this is just poor spending

[grave cipher]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yywysh

i threw this together in about 3 minutes so if you can do better be my guest

[lusty hinge]

psu is awful

but sure

@alpine dawn do you live near a micro center

[grave cipher]

if it doesnt explode or trip ocp then its going to be good enough

[lusty hinge]

uh

... no

but alright

[grave cipher]

okay just be vague about it instead of actually saying

[lusty hinge]

that PSU is pretty bad quality

uses bad internals

i mean

im surprised youre happy to recommend it to someone

[grave cipher]

okay what do you mean "uses bad internals"

[lusty hinge]

what do you think i mean lol

the internals of that PSU are bad

it is simply a bad psu

[grave cipher]

okay but how does that affect anything?

[lusty hinge]

what???

[grave cipher]

your giving a vague reason

[lusty hinge]

i just gave you the reason

[grave cipher]

"bad internals" could quite literally mean anything

[lusty hinge]

yeah and that "anything" in this case is all of it

the entire psu sucks

its bad

awful

id never in a million years buy one

[lusty hinge]

@alpine dawn ^^

[grave cipher]

so your saying its bad based on??

delusion?

[lusty hinge]

based on its... internals.

its reviews online

its bad

[grave cipher]

source?

[lusty hinge]

hwbusters covers it iirc

besides

he doesnt even need 850w

but sure

as soon as i find out if he has MC as an option i will provide a PCPP list

yours isnt bad

its actually pretty decent

the only thing id change is the motherboard and the psu

[grave cipher]

I cant find a review of that model anywhere but in the 850W GF review hardware busters did they would "consider it" and that it passed "all ATX3.0 tests with sucess"

also board is irrelevant since its X3D, basically just whatever IO you need

[grave cipher]

https://hwbusters.com/psus/thermaltake-toughpower-gf-a3-850w-psu-review/11/

[lusty hinge]

GF A3 was hardware swapped

they did a bait and switch

but meh

still

[lusty hinge]

youre paying 140 dollars for 2 m.2

b650m pro rs / wifi should be same price

[grave cipher]

he wants 2TB of m.2 space not me

and something that doesnt have terrible IO randoms

again board is opinion based since any bad board is going to do the job fine

just a matter of how many m.2 slots and usbs you want

[lusty hinge]

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

if he wants white its still doable

especially if he has MC access

could get even cheaper tbh

although no native 12vhpwr

[alpine dawn]

kind of

sorry i walked away

[lusty hinge]

its fine

how long does it take to get there

[alpine dawn]

like 2.5 hours

[lusty hinge]

are you playing 1440p or 4K

[alpine dawn]

1440
