although id consider changing the CPU to a 7600X instead

[pearl grail]

@lusty hinge shiver me timbers look at my idle ram usage

after restarting the pc it settles at 8.6gb which isnt bad, wont tell me where the ram is going so im assuming its just windows reserving ram space like it always does but in a goofy way.

either way solved my problem in another way

just putting more ram in lol

[lusty hinge]

personally

i do not care about my idle ram usage

but its ddr4 so who cares lmfao put in 4 different models of ram for all that matters

[zinc forum]

DDR3 16 GB 2slot

[lusty hinge]

its impressive you managed to mix kits for 64gb and still manage to run it stable at 3200mhz.
on corsair LPX too.

any manual tuning?

[keen talon]

Does anybody know a good €1000 pc pre build?

[zinc forum]

Ztt.com

[pearl grail]

I didn’t mix anything

It’s the same sticks

I bought identical sticks

[lusty hinge]

you mixed

they are not binned together

[pearl grail]

Why are you surprised it works

[lusty hinge]

corsair lpx + mixed kit 64gb at 3200mhz

usually never works

[pearl grail]

Ig I got lucky

My friend mixed different ram sizes before and was still able to overclock them lol

Not sure what the failure chances are for mixing

Ig me and him are lucky

[lusty hinge]

crazy

i see it quite often fail to post or run stable

[pearl grail]

I’ll do a test

Ima overclock my ram and benchmark it

[lusty hinge]

memtest86+

[pearl grail]

If no errors occur then I’m fine, if something does occur I’ll just go back to memory express and buy a set of 4

[lusty hinge]

also this

https://www.ocbase.com/

[pearl grail]

Ye I have it

1 min in no errors yet

[lusty hinge]

hell yeah

[pearl grail]

I’m glad I got lucky

[pearl grail]

Over 2min still no errors

[pearl grail]

That’s a lot of errors

[lusty hinge]

at least 4

this wasnt ram

but was funny

[pearl grail]

So I got lucky with my new set of ram

[lusty hinge]

yeah lol

especially with LPX track record of just not working

[pearl grail]

I knew this before, not sure why I forgot about it

Like I remember reading about buying identical ram

Ig I didn’t think too much of it since I wasn’t really considering upgrading the size

[grave cipher]

Different kits of the same bin (especially corsair junk) have different memory chips and therefore different overclocking behaviour

Typically you end up with hynix cjr or samsung c die from corsair

[lusty hinge]

speedu my goat

[pearl grail]

whats done is done

[grave cipher]

If you look on the back of them the "V0.00" is memory chip manufacturer, capacity and revision

Useful to know so you can get a grasp of baseline overclocking

[pearl grail]

I think overclocking 64gb is overkill

I just did it to test

[grave cipher]

What chip do you have?

[pearl grail]

not sure id have to open my pc which is below my desk

[grave cipher]

I meant cpu lol but yea I understand that

[pearl grail]

oh cpu lol

Ryzen 5 5600x

[grave cipher]

Really? Thought you have a dual ccd chip

Like a 5900x or 5950x

[pearl grail]

why

[grave cipher]

64gb is a ridiculous amount

Especially for a 6c cpu

[pearl grail]

it isnt for modded DCS World

[grave cipher]

Well if you intend on using it for memory intensive stuff then that makes sense

[pearl grail]

ye

[grave cipher]

But it also means that any oc you end up with should reflect on in game performance

[pearl grail]

I also have it because of Blender and Fusion360

sometimes having multiple large 3d files open would sky rocket my ram

[grave cipher]

I'm sure the new limit is going to be cores now lol

If you are doing cpu based blender renders it should scale nicely with core count

[pearl grail]

Im still debating on upgrading to an am5 platform next year or just upgrading to the best am4 cpu I can find

because I plan on getting a rtx4070ti super because its supposed to have 16gb of vram

[grave cipher]

Second hand 5950xs shouldn't be hard to find

[pearl grail]

and I cant stand amd gpu's

[grave cipher]

It does

[lusty hinge]

why not amd gpu

[grave cipher]

Yea amd isn't good for workstation stuff either iirc

[lusty hinge]

meh

theyre not awful

it depends on use

i know for stable diffusion its just

you have to be a fool

only relevant amd gpu for AI is an XTX

[pearl grail]

I actually went from an rx6600 xt to a 3060 because of the driver issues I was having with DCS World and War Thunder

[grave cipher]

If you don't care about RT or rendering on gpu then yea amd is a good pick imo

[pearl grail]

as soon as I went to nvidia all my problems were gone

[grave cipher]

Yea updating to latest driver is suicide

Can be for novideo sometimes

[pearl grail]

Im kinda glad I got the 3060 when I did, it went from $550cad to $1000 xd

[lusty hinge]

nvidia 560.xx and 561.xx are funky rn

[pearl grail]

$550cad to $1000 is an insane price increase

[grave cipher]

$1000 3070 here

[pearl grail]

especially for a 3060 12gb

[grave cipher]

It's honestly stupid that the 3060 gets 12 and the 3070 gets 8

[lusty hinge]

not really

the 3070 doesnt need more than 8

[pearl grail]

cough cough Jedi Survivor

[lusty hinge]

well

ugh

yeah

shite games exist

it shouldn't need more than 8

[pearl grail]

I wanted to go for a 3070 build but I saw no options for a 12gb so thats why I went with a 3060 12gb

[lusty hinge]

why would you downgrade though like genuinely

im curious

[pearl grail]

because I wanted to play Jedi Survivor

[lusty hinge]

was it strictly vram

[grave cipher]

1440p 8Gb RT card not enough memory 1080p 12Gb card not enough frame rate

[lusty hinge]

theyre both silly nowadays for modern AAA

4060 ti 16gb is the biggest trap mind you

[grave cipher]

Should of swapped them the 3070 struggles running high settings because of memory

[lusty hinge]

it does not need 16gb!!

[pearl grail]

yk whats funny is that people were still having performance issues with jedi survivor on like higher performance builds than mine but I was playing it on max with no issues on my 3060

[grave cipher]

Oh don't for get 4k capable card at 10 Gb of vram

[lusty hinge]

3080 momebt

[grave cipher]

Vs 1080p at 12

If the 3070 had 10 even I would of stuck with it

Just fuck me raster high at 1440p would hit max mem

[lusty hinge]

yeah it can be rough

[pearl grail]

oh another reason why I went with 12gb is because I planned on upgrading my 2560x1080p 30inch monitor to a 3440x1440p 34inch monitor.

but I havent done that yet

[lusty hinge]

i upgraded to a 4080S and now just chill

lisquie oled 4k when

[lusty hinge]

my god

pls upgrad gpu

wait what game

[pearl grail]

dont tell me to upgrade my gpu

[lusty hinge]

i joke

i jest

i poke

but fr itd be nice

[pearl grail]

lol

anything better would be nice even if you dont need the upgrade

but the money leaving your account isnt nice

[lusty hinge]

yeah

what game are you using it for

[pearl grail]

war thunder

[lusty hinge]

a 3060 at UW 1440p surely cannot be the greatest experience

[pearl grail]

and DCS World

[lusty hinge]

60fps?

[pearl grail]

I am running 80fps on dcs on maxed settings and 156 fps on maxed settings in war thunder

my monitor is set to 144hz

[lusty hinge]

ah

thats cool

[pearl grail]

high fps not needed for DCS

[lusty hinge]

isnt that plane simulator

[pearl grail]

kinda

its like plane sim but with useable weapons

[lusty hinge]

ah sick

[pearl grail]

@lusty hinge so im assuming rapid tap is prob an engine thing rather than firmware right?

[lusty hinge]

probs yesh

[pearl grail]

because im on an older firmware version 4.9.1 and I still have access to rapid tap

[tribal jewel]

Anybody bought an apex pro gen 3.?

[lusty hinge]

nah

i bought this though

https://clickclack.io/products/upcoming-click-clack-x-kochi-hummingbird68-magnetic-switch-mechanical-keyboard-kit

[frosty marsh]

is a i7700k and a 2070 super good togeather

[grave cipher]

better cpu

4c 8t is not it anymore

2070 sup is good though for the right price

[lusty hinge]

i love speedu

[lusty hinge]

are you buying these?

[grave cipher]

??

i personally do not recommend admitting your love to a stranger

[strong spire]

better cpu

[lusty hinge]

only reason to get a better cpu is to have windows 11 support lol

[grave cipher]

nah what trolling is going on in this chat

6c with HT minimum or your just building ewaste

you can get 6 core chips for like $40

that actaully have decent clocks and ipc

[lusty hinge]

well it seems he already has it

who on earth is buying a 2070 super in 2024

its definitely owned

[grave cipher]

2070 super based

= 3060

[lusty hinge]

well yesh

i have nothing against it

but both parts arent something people really buy nowadays

if you ask me guy just wants validation

[grave cipher]

yea i was gonna say if you are research and budgeting king then 2070 super is it

but i dont think thats the case here

with a 7700k

[lusty hinge]

yeah i highly doubt it

not like a 12100/400f and a 6600 costs too much

if youre like

truly budget and wanting new

[grave cipher]

5500 and a 2 dimm board is also decent

apu chip so it does like 4400 MCLK

[lusty hinge]

pretty decent

only issue is the fact that a 3600 is actually better than a 5500 and you can get it used for kinda cheap, although that leaves a flaw in what i said in the first place lol.

but yeah

5500 is a decent brand new budget cpu

[grave cipher]

high MCLK should steal the win in anything thats not cinebench

the cores oc okayish as well

i have one running 4.6 on the bad stock cooler

[lusty hinge]

5500?

sucks it isnt the wraith prism

[grave cipher]

probably wont do p95 FFTs but can do shader comps and file decompression

runs R15 and R23

yea the 5500

if you threw on an LF2 or LS720 it could probably do 4.7+

since its main limiting factor is heat

[lusty hinge]

pretty high on a stock tbf

impressive

[grave cipher]

cold room + max fan speed clutches

[lusty hinge]

whats the power draw like

[grave cipher]

140 iirc

a friend has it rn so i couldnt tell you the exact amount

[lusty hinge]

insane

considering its a 65w chip

[grave cipher]

could of been 150w memory is fuzzy on it but no more than that

Cezanne cores dont need a lot to run

and theres only 6

chip is also more efficient because its mono and not chiplet

[lusty hinge]

you make a good note

[grave cipher]

tbh probably a very good sample i may trade/buy it off of him and hwbot it

this is with a positive pbo offset and aio

[lusty hinge]

o

very nice

[night kayak]

Anyone who can help with problems on a new pc? Seems like gpu doesn’t perform as it should

[restive bridge]

we need more infos to help

[night kayak]

My gpu doesn’t seem to work as it should. I’ve ddu and it doesn’t help. Only thing that helps is changing max mhz in adrenaline from 1200 to 2400mhz. Still doesn’t perform as it should. It’s a r 5600 and rx 6800

[grave cipher]

Check pcie cables to the gpu

Some cards will boot on solely pcie slot power

From that shot of 81% ult at 100w looks like it's that imo

[grim granite]

friendly reminder to make sure the power switch on the back is on when you try turning on the pc

[night kayak]

I’ve checked them

[grave cipher]

Check wattman/msi burner for power limits

Should also download gpuz it should give better insight as to why the card is misbehaving

[night kayak]

Ok I’ll try that. I’ll get back to you later

[solemn barn]

Howdy

[versed solar]

.

[lofty dragon]

clip (moments) If you want to see it here Where should I place my repository?

[lusty hinge]

literally wherever you want

put it in systemroot for all that matters

[grave cipher]

should use shadowplay (based)

[lusty hinge]

personally

OBS

[grave cipher]

Yea but you have an anime pfp so it's automatically invalid

[lusty hinge]

you think OBS is invalid?

thats crazy

OBS >>>>>>>

[grave cipher]

bandicam is the real stuff

[lusty hinge]

youre right

[noble mica]

Fraps99 is the best

[worthy agate]

someone help me? I want to choose the Counter Strike 2 audio configuration for my artics nova pro but I can't access sonar

[pulsar fossil]

This channel is about building PCs. Have you tried rebooting?

[worthy agate]

I sent it to the correct channel, sorry and yes, I have already tried restarting, updating etc, thank you

[noble oak]

How can I adjust the CPU cooler to the processor so that the parameters match?

[noble oak]

no?

[half oar]

Are you talking about wanting to run the fans quieter?

Or is the CPU running too hot for the cooler.

[deep aspen]

Can you reask your questions I'm not understanding

What parameters are you trying to match?

Or are you trying to achieve proper temp parameters?

[half oar]

Btw, you don't adjust the cooler. You adjust the fan. The cooler is a hunk of metal. :>

🫡

[noble oak]

I want to replace the processor cooler and I don't know how to choose a new one so that it can be screwed on properly

[deep aspen]

What processor do you have?

Regardless, most CPU coolers will have brackets compatible with both AMD and Intel

[noble oak]

i5

[noble oak]

okey

[deep aspen]

That tells me nothing

What gen

Is this super old or like, within the last 5 years at least, or what?

[noble oak]

idk

[deep aspen]

Okay

[noble oak]

nevermind

[lusty hinge]

open task manager LMFAO

[deep aspen]

I can't..

Lol

[lusty hinge]

"i have an i5" do you know how many i5 there are? too many.

[noble oak]

I know how to check, I'm not stupid, but I can't do it now

[lusty hinge]

how do you not know what cpu you have

crazy

anyway

basically any modern cpu has cooler support

youd have to have some abysmal socket to not have wide aftermarket cooler availability

[deep aspen]

You'd be surpised

I know a few tech discords with people asking for support for GT 600 series graphics cards lol

[deep aspen]

Lol

[lusty hinge]

theres a refurbished gt210 on newegg rn for like 300 dollars iirc

third party seller ofc

but lol

[noble oak]

I have to replace the CPU cooler because it blows 70db

[lusty hinge]

looks ancient

find out what cpu it is

[deep aspen]

Called it

[lusty hinge]

although looks OEM

[deep aspen]

Looks like a Dell Optiplex

[lusty hinge]

yerp

[deep aspen]

Maybe

[lusty hinge]

probably some super janky motherboard cooler mount

doubt theres many coolers available

[noble oak]

looks the way it looks, has very good results in games

[lusty hinge]

sure, if youre happy. never criticised its performance though

OEM is OEM. all disgusting and non standard.

[deep aspen]

I think worst part on the bulk of those are the proprietary PSUs

[noble oak]

the only thing I replaced in this computer was the graphics card and RAM

[deep aspen]

CPU cooler I believe is at least somewhat standardized even on these, I'm not 100 percent tho

[lusty hinge]

agreed.

why is the pcie cable coming off into all sorts of jank

[noble oak]

I would like to refresh my computer in this respect, but I don't understand it

okey, thanks

[lusty hinge]

you want to know the best way to refresh it?

build a new one

[noble oak]

nice joke

I say it has good gaming results, but it doesn't look majestic

[lusty hinge]

ha. i wasnt joking.

that is an OEM nightmare

it probably works fine sure but i wouldnt put any money into it lol

[noble oak]

listen, I would like to replace it but I don't know how to do it

[lusty hinge]

replace what?

because no individual part should be replaced in that

the entire machine should be replaced

[noble oak]

i knoww

but I don't know how to replace the whole machine

[lusty hinge]

buy parts

put them together

turn it on

install windows/linux/whateveryouuse™

win

[noble oak]

xd

I don't practice these blocks

eh

never mind

i ll do it

[lusty hinge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1fxZ-VWs2U
https://youtu.be/DC-Xn2C_L1U

[noble oak]

1000 dollars?

okey okey

[lusty hinge]

it doesnt need to be 1000 dollars

thats just LTT being LTT

i sent those as video guides on how to build

yknow, the assembly

[noble oak]

thanks

[half oar]

You're pretty much halfway there calling them blocks. Building a PC from scratch is just slightly more technical LEGO. And Lisquie is right. That would be Nightmare, capital N.

[pulsar fossil]

PC building used to be a lot more difficult

Y'all don't even need to set dip switches on the motherboard anymore

[half oar]

The front panel connectors can get fun tho

Unless theyre really nice and give you one of those nifty adapter blocks

[pulsar fossil]

True

[astral aurora]

???? 10 dollars???

[jolly ruin]

You can also choose parts and opt for a in store build in a lot of Polish stores. i.e. X-Com. Its not expensive.

They can even install OS if you want or you can do it yourself.

[jolly ruin]

lol how. but 10

[pulsar fossil]

I'll take 10 😅

Smells a little like inspect element 😂

[lusty hinge]

duh

13 a month right under

didn't even do it right 😹😹

[pulsar fossil]

Exactly 😅

[hazy briar]

Hello there, it’s not directly a pc issue, but I’ll try my luck to find some answers here. I’ve needed to do some changes, and after I’ve took this one off we’re the ultra wide monitor is for the first time it’s just hanging down all the time and isn’t stuff like it always was. Is my Monitor desk mount now broke or can it be fixed?

[lusty hinge]

broke, sucks, mounted wrong, something else

[pulsar fossil]

English only please

[hazy briar]

Think it’s Tratsch since I’ve cheapet out and bought one for 25€ instead of 60€

[fervent bane]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/#compatibility_notes

can anybody help me to see if there’s anything i can do to make it cheaper

the price on amazon is $1,738

[lusty hinge]

its awful

once im out of bios ill taje a look

[fervent bane]

😂 i ended up changing the psu and cpu a little bit still need help if i can make it better

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[lusty hinge]

thats the wrong link

[fervent bane]

oops

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

ah why is it doing that

[lusty hinge]

you sent the same link

stop taking the link from the search bar

there is one on the site

[fervent bane]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BWmpdH

my b

🤦‍♂️

[lusty hinge]

there we go

[lusty hinge]

whats your budget

is this for gaming

[fervent bane]

yes, around like 1500 would he amazon but 1600 is also ok

i’m kind of also just looking for opinions on what to do

[grave cipher]

$400 on mid is crazy

[lusty hinge]

dont forget the 1tb ssd for the price of 2tb

bah im still in bios

asrock moment

[grave cipher]

asrock bios is most based

so are asrock boards

[lusty hinge]

i love my asrock board

b650m pro rs wifi

got it for £80

[grave cipher]

they're bringing back the ocf for 890

they do amazingly cheap boards

so beautiful

just wish i liked the bios more

[lusty hinge]

asrock 🥰🥰

bios is the only downside and even then

its not the worst thing ever

it functions!

[grave cipher]

old giga bios was the worst

new one is good though

[lusty hinge]

havent used the new bios

ive seen a few photos though

looks cool

internals for the fanxiang s880

theyre good

i cant remember if its worse or better than this

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HcWJ7P/msi-spatium-m482-eco-pack-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-m482-nvme-m2-2tb-bulk

[grave cipher]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tBtyDZ

nah i got this

peek gaming

[lusty hinge]

are you sure

that ssd is pcie 5 x2

[grave cipher]

cant believe how expensive gpus are in the us though

[lusty hinge]

so its not true pcie 5

[grave cipher]

yea board does 5.0 on the first slot

[lusty hinge]

id get the m482 eco pack

[grave cipher]

2x 5.0 = 4x 4.0

[lusty hinge]

exactly!

[lusty hinge]

may aswell get this

case is an interesting choice but i mean... its a case.

[grave cipher]

nah the 990 has cache

im trying to match what hes after

[lusty hinge]

ah does it

[grave cipher]

but i also like black

[lusty hinge]

hows the transcend 250s priced

i imagine poorly in the US

[grave cipher]

all the EVO/PRO series have cache

[lusty hinge]

yeah 250s is a very meh price in US

come on US step it up

its £90 in the UK!

also

14600KF is $200 rn iirc

id choose that over the 13700KF

[grave cipher]

same arch less P cores

13700K wins that fight all day

[lusty hinge]

wasnt the 13700k like double the price or am i silly

2 seconds

oh yeah its not far off

nevermind then

[grave cipher]

its weird

cpu pricing in the us is so scuffed

but then gpus are very decently priced

[lusty hinge]

everything in the US is scuffed

considering its a gaming machine (i think they said it was... cba to scroll up) a platform change could be worthwhile

itd free up money for a better gpu

[grave cipher]

4070 super should slap

[lusty hinge]

yes of course!

[grave cipher]

but only reasonable option i see for platform change is am4 X3D

am5 is still stupid priced

[lusty hinge]

its probably better off asking about their peripherals tbh. if theyre using this for a 1080p shooter with a bad keyboard, i see no reason for the 13700K or a 4070 super

although tbh they can do what they want

[grave cipher]

ehh they generalise so i generalise

[lusty hinge]

😆😆

[grave cipher]

good frames in comp shooters and good frames in CP2077

and other related titles

if it was a cs2 machine then 14900k and 1050ti

[lusty hinge]

going back to am5 a second, im pretty sure the 7800x3d actually costs more than a 7950x3d right now

that or its very close

[grave cipher]

yea its like 550

[lusty hinge]

its very stupid

[grave cipher]

so is the 5800X3D

its like $400

[lusty hinge]

5800x3d isnt really worth it though

5700x3d exists

[grave cipher]

with 3.9 boost clock 💀

[lusty hinge]

5800x3d is if youre reluctant on moving platform

[grave cipher]

going back to the stone age with that

[lusty hinge]

boost clock meh

[grave cipher]

5700X3D is just not worth for a new platform

already on am4? sure

[lusty hinge]

yesh thats what i meant

if its an upgrade its chill

[grave cipher]

oh yea then thats chill

[lusty hinge]

no point buying into am4 in 2024 unless you despise a 12400f

or even a 12600kf

[grave cipher]

am4 is if you despise intel

[lusty hinge]

5800x is at a very weird price right now but it doesnt really justify buying into am4 lol

[grave cipher]

yea it was cheaper than the 5700x for a period

like £130

[lusty hinge]

ahhh intel buzzword ahhh 200°C 700w!!!

😆😆

[grave cipher]

AHHH DEGREDATION AHHH OXIDISATION

[lusty hinge]

yeah really not a clue whats going on with the pricing

[lusty hinge]

brrrrr 13th&14th gen moment

[grave cipher]

but people forget 7000X3D explosion

[lusty hinge]

yeah cuz.. am5!! best gaming cpu!!!

[grave cipher]

until someone forgets microcode update and the cache internally combusts

[lusty hinge]

updating bios for a new 13/14th gen now is basically a must and it confuses me when people refuse

[lusty hinge]

this is basically an explosion!

[grave cipher]

Heyyy my daily system is just like that

But more errors

And typically starts whenever the test does

[lusty hinge]

lmfao thats great

https://amzn.eu/d/fPN6f8R

£70 for a 14100f

shame its an irrelevant cpu

itd be a good choice for super budget builds though

[grave cipher]

12400fs are cheaper no?

[lusty hinge]

£97

think they went up in price

yeah they did

[grave cipher]

Oof

That point I would namb a 5700x

And an uber cheap b550

Zen 3 still kicks a little ass

[lusty hinge]

5600 is £95 which could be considered if youre just gaming

a 5700x isnt much more though

[grave cipher]

5600 eww

[lusty hinge]

£120

so yeah 5700x

[grave cipher]

Oc support + 8 cores

That would be a good start

[lusty hinge]

mmmm oc

[grave cipher]

Get some b die on top

And be a very good gaming system

[lusty hinge]

now it just needs a 4090

[grave cipher]

You can get one for a tener at Asda

[lusty hinge]

youre spending too much on your 4090s man

fiver on aliexpress. instant digital download. jpeg edition

[grave cipher]

Oh yea that's how I got My ram

Need to download some better cores though

Rocket lake blows

[lusty hinge]

theres a seller on aliexpress that often uses hynix a die

juhor ddr5 i think it is

only "issue" is the big anime girl on the side

[grave cipher]

That's a feature what do you mean

Anime girl +100 kiwi

[lusty hinge]

exactly

its confirmed if your rams heatspreader has anime girls on it you get a confirmed +400 mhz

in 1:1

[grave cipher]

honestly when i get D5 platform im buying them

im not big into anime but they do actually look cool

[lusty hinge]

yeah they do tbf

undervolt gpu time

i actually just gave up with pbo

not like a 7800x3d needs it anyway tbf

[grave cipher]

pbo? god invented bclk for a reason

[lusty hinge]

im lazy

[grave cipher]

dont worry if your drive shits itself it just wasnt made with gods careful hands

[lusty hinge]

😹

[grave cipher]

on the 5th day god made eclk to avoid this issue

i do hate the locked X3D chips though

i want to overclock and no i dont care if it dies

[lusty hinge]

if my cpu doesnt kill itself whats the point

[grave cipher]

literally

if i want to run 1.65Vcore i should be allowed to run 1.65Vcore

i dont care for "safe" voltages, they were dreamt up by the insane

[lusty hinge]

at least 0.1 volts

time to press the fix button

[lusty hinge]

you paid for it! these so called "geniuses" at "Advanced Micro Devices" arent "smart" and know nothing about voltages! theyre just scamming us

[grave cipher]

they're putting locks on your cpu and making it inferior

rise up i say

charge the ayymd HQ and take back whats yours

actually wait that should be intel

[lusty hinge]

[grave cipher]

since they literally make you pay for ocing

[lusty hinge]

yeah intel just says

hey, we arent like AMD. we let you overclock

just pay even more first.

[grave cipher]

and then after you pay they make you also buy a contact frame for their dodgy mounting mechanism

so your cpu can boot more than 7200

[lusty hinge]

tbf

thermalrights lga frame is pretty cheap

but yeah doesnt excuse it

stupid intel moment

[grave cipher]

the LF3 forces an install of it i

intel being intel

they have a year between release cycles

thats how we got 7 years of 4 core cpus

and rocket lake

and raptor lake el degrado

[lusty hinge]

4 core cpus are the best wdym!!!

i love being in 2024 and having 4 cores

+1000 MHz looks chill

[grave cipher]

it might

some micron 6x can do 2000+

just got to watch out for ecc

[lusty hinge]

hmmm

[eager arch]

is the i5 12th gen 4070ti good?

[lusty hinge]

whats the rest of it

4070 ti is usually never the good choice

[rose bough]

Random question but is 7 fans for a PC overkill?

[crimson scroll]

depends on the pc

technically mine has 8 if you count all the fans on the coolers

[rose bough]

This would be 7 including the cooler

3 on the AIO, 3 on the front, 1 for exhaust

It's gonna be a 7800X3D and a 3070

In a Corsair 4000D/5000D (that is still up for debate)

[grave cipher]

more fans does not increase cooling linear to how many fans you have

exhaust fans also don't really do a whole lot

typically stacking the front with as many fans as you can fit is all you need

4000/5000 is 3 120mm on the front

4000D isnt going to fit 7 fans though

not enough space

[rose bough]

Forgot to check in but it's 3 in front, 3 on the AIO, and 1 exhaust.

Hence 7

[lusty hinge]

well i mean

the aio is gonna come with 3 so whatever

4000d comes with 2 front fans

if you ask me you should just get a 903 Max instead

comes with 3 rgb intake and 1 exhaust

saves you paying for fans

like, why am i paying for fans in 2024??

[rose bough]

Well for starters this is an entirely new build and the fans I'm buying daisy chain together for less cable management to deal with

[lusty hinge]

what fans dont daisy chain

this is 2024

yet again

quit subjecting yourself to mediocre products because your standards are subpar

[grave cipher]

2 top

[rose bough]

?

It's a 360mm rad, that's 3 fans

[rose bough]

Except I never said which fans I was buying

[grave cipher]

4000d fits 2 top

[rose bough]

Did you miss the part where I said 5000D too, and which specific model was up for debate still?

Because I did.

[grave cipher]

Well I'm letting you know that the 4000d doesn't fit 7

And from the sounds of it you want to top mount a 360 rad

Which is impossible in the 4000

Which leaves the 5000 as your ideal case

[lusty hinge]

this is easily worse

4000d comes with 2

why buy more

5000d is the worst buy ever

get a 903 or something

montech xr

[grave cipher]

4/5000Ds actually aren't a horrible pick

Definitely worse out there

And I despise corsair products but those cases are actually half decent

Could of gotten a Chinesium hot box

That has a front glass panel

And tiny little slits in the sides as front intake

[lusty hinge]

i mean sure yeah they arent the worst

im doing a tiny bit of exaggerating

i just dont understand why youd bother with them when there are cheaper better alternatives

[grave cipher]

i look at it as personal preference more than anything

like buying clothes and shoes

sure you can buy generic brand stuff and it'll be just as fine but a well known brand adds to the style factor

why hes after 7 rgb fans and a corsair case

probably a corsair cooler as well

as long as it isnt just a metal box and has some kind of available airflow then it does kinda come down to look/brand over practically/price

if it were me i would of suggested a pop air or torrent

keeps to the brand factor and they're actually good cases

[lusty hinge]

makes sense

if youre gonna buy an aio though

pls consider an aio that isnt a corsair aio

i mean an aqua elite v3 is like $50 for 360mm!

+1tb ssd

[lusty hinge]

what ssd

is it an nv2

[lusty hinge]

wait.. is this a UK build?

why is it using dollars?

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ is easily better

[nimble pasture]

i dontknow

[lusty hinge]

what country are you in

[lyric birch]

Who knows how build a pc??

[lusty hinge]

budget? country? gaming?

[lyric birch]

1200€, Spain, gaming very good

Just components of pc

[nimble pasture]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/XGrb4M

[nimble pasture]

greece

[nimble pasture]

m.2

[lusty hinge]

AIO is a bit of a silly choice

change the case and get a 360mm aio

Montech 903 Max should work

12600KF also works

[lusty hinge]

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

[lyric birch]

Does this also come with the PC assembly? or is it mounted separately?

[lusty hinge]

the

the what?

@lyric birch

[grave cipher]

Gtfo with ddr4 alder builds

For 1200 kinda ewastey but ddr4 on alder you need a psych evaluation

[lusty hinge]

go for ddr5 then

you get a worse gpu

[grave cipher]

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

Weaker gpu but better board with full oc support and ddr5

And a pop air because I like them

Better overall upgrade path imo

[lusty hinge]

yesh definitely the choice if youre happy with the weaker gpu

i was clearly on something when i chose the parts i did

[lyric birch]

Nothing nothing

Thanks u for this

[lusty hinge]

consider this one also

ones ddr4 with a better gpu

ones ddr5 with a worse gpu

[grave cipher]

yea more likely and easier to upgrade gpu at the end of the day

and a 7700XT is not slacking in gpu department (RT does not exist)

just better for long term imo

and generally it sucks to be cpu bound

at least with gpu bound you can just slap fsr on it

[lusty hinge]

what the hell is ray tracing

i only know big performance tank

[grave cipher]

i only know physX

that thing that existed for a bit

[lusty hinge]

i only know Lumen

[grave cipher]

🤢

could just be fortnite DX12 but it runs like ass

lumen in hellblade was good though

[lusty hinge]

just fortnite

fortnite sucks

[grave cipher]

yea every update they c uck dx12 users in some way

[lusty hinge]

you can just remove the dx12 from that

[grave cipher]

yea probably

UE4 was fine afaik

UE5 happened and performance fell off a cliff

and it still hasnt been fixed

[lusty hinge]

they dont know how

theyre silly

[grave cipher]

easy shader compile

but cant do that for some unusual reason

[lusty hinge]

it would make too much sense

[nimble spade]

Is this upgrade able or should I start fresh I have no clue what I’m doing but I’m willing to learn I got this for free

[grave cipher]

just save up like 1k and build a new system tbh

[lusty hinge]

depends what youre doing

trying to do 1440p/4K gaming? make sure your psu isnt a bomb and chuck in a new gpu.

both cpu and gpu are pretty old.

not that theyre necessarily bad though. if youre happy with it, why upgrade?

[grave cipher]

tbh i bet you could gain a lot of performance from reinstalling windows and using tools to lighten it

judging from the nzxt and steelseries bloat in that pic

[lusty hinge]

absolutely

a fresh windows 11 install does wonders

[pearl grail]

@lusty hinge ordered a new monitor, hopefully it comes in good condition.

The last monitor i ordered had over 50 dead pixels and subpixels focused in one area.

[vernal otter]

Tf u buying ur monitor temu?

😭

[lusty hinge]

jesus christ

what monitor did ya order

[echo pike]

Def some off brand pos

[lusty hinge]

why do brands matter

if its a good monitor its a good monitor

[pearl grail]

@lusty hinge am got this one to replace my scepter 2560x1080 monitor

My other msi and scepter monitor is nice so I hope this one is too

[wispy swift]

mostly for the color or the lifespan of the monitor

[lusty hinge]

thats stupid

the panel matters for that

not the brand

[wispy swift]

you'll notice that with different brands and same panel the colors arent the same, some are more vibrant and some less

[lusty hinge]

sure

[wispy swift]

also dead pixels, cheap off brand monitors will tend to have dead pixels

[lusty hinge]

bah

[wispy swift]

there are some good budget friendly monitors even with famous brands

[lusty hinge]

you should probably look for dedicated monitor discords or look onlije for reviews

unreviewed monitors shouldnt be bought

professional reviews

not user reviews

[wispy swift]

true

[foggy pecan]

What keyboard y’all suggest?

[pulsar fossil]

Depends on your needs, preferences and budget

[foggy pecan]

Well no budget

And a keyboard for gaming

[lusty hinge]

there are so many things youre missing

[foggy pecan]

Me?

[lusty hinge]

i dont even know what form factor you want

id probably just get a Bridge75

or a Keychron Q1 HE if youre into Hall Effect

[vernal otter]

well if u care about pure performance wooting 60he or wooting 80he and Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL

[lusty hinge]

that is disgusting

the 2 wooting ones are the only relevant ones there

razer huntsman bleh

the method here is to open this websitre https://www.keychron.com/

and browse the Q series keyboards

you mentioned budget is unlimited

so Q series should be the only ones you look at

[vernal otter]

snaptap is really good though

[lusty hinge]

snaptap is stupid

[vernal otter]

not really

[lusty hinge]

and is banned in a lot of games

[vernal otter]

which games besdies cs2

[lusty hinge]

valorant

im not gonna sit here and list games with snaptap banned

if youre into snaptap

sure

but it is a disgusting keyboard

[vernal otter]

never heard anything about valorant banning snaptap

[lusty hinge]

and for someone on an unlimited budget?

you would be a fool to buy a razer huntsman on an unlimited budget

a fool

[vernal otter]

snaptap is not even that noticable on valorant in the first place

[lusty hinge]

respectfully i dont even care

you dont look for gimmicks in keyboards

[vernal otter]

its not a gimmick if it actually gives u an advantage?

[lusty hinge]

its a gimmick

[vernal otter]

so we coping

[grave cipher]

snap tap is only really designed with cs in mind

[lusty hinge]

its simple

[grave cipher]

it makes valorant movement worse

[vernal otter]

works well on ow2 for whoever plays that

[lusty hinge]

if youre outin the market for snap tap

sure

but he never mentioned snap tap

im not even sure why we're having this discussion, tbh

all he has told us is "keyboard unlimited budget"

it is not even enough to suggest anything

[vernal otter]

ok he said a keyboard gaming and i said for purely gaming wise if we were talking about fps cause thats what most people play

[lusty hinge]

lol

[vernal otter]

u made something out of nothing basically

[raven fox]

Hello

i bought a set of artcis nova 7X yesterday but it wont come up on the software at all

can anyone help pls

i switched the dongle to pc, its connected. headset is also connected via USB

The APP also wont update at all no matter how long its installing for

pls help

[lusty hinge]

#1047622297382567936

#official-support

[wispy swift]

that famous wooting one

[lusty hinge]

why

dude

you cant give suggestions without knowing anythiing

we dont even know what form factor he wants

[wispy swift]

i saw the specs it's actually pretty good

[lusty hinge]

i never said it was bad

[wispy swift]

i just dont remember the name

[lusty hinge]

if oyure on about the wooting 80 he that is

wooting 80 he is good at being a he keyboard

[wispy swift]

Wooting 60He

[lusty hinge]

its not good at being a good keyboard though

[wispy swift]

well to get the perfect keyboard it's best to build a custom one

[lusty hinge]

yes which is why #💻-building-a-pc message

[lusty hinge]

hot

[pearl grail]

It's even better than advertised

It advertised 144hz but it does 180hz, i checked the model it's the right one

[lusty hinge]

hmm

is that OC?

[pearl grail]

Could be but it doesn't say it's oc

I changed the refresh rate on Nvidia control panel. Monitors shouldn't be overclocked out of the box

[lusty hinge]

i will say

as much as i dont care for it, your email is visible

[pearl grail]

Oh

[lusty hinge]

top right

[pearl grail]

Lol thx

[lusty hinge]

☺️

[lusty hinge]

awesome

epic monitor then clearly

[pearl grail]

the monitor came with no defections

not one single dead subpixel

just perfect

[lusty hinge]

eeepic

i think my g2724d arrived defective with a pixel all the way in the top left bonky

but idk i haven't noticed it

cant even see it anymore so it was probably just junk

[pearl grail]

my other one had a dead subpixel on the top right

[lusty hinge]

what monitor was it you got

[pearl grail]

but barely noticeable

one sec

[lusty hinge]

i could look up but why would i scroll up

thats effort

[pearl grail]

\

[lusty hinge]

hot

now you need an UW 4K

[pearl grail]

it was only $530cad

bru naw lol

[lusty hinge]

ips right?

[pearl grail]

that would make my 3060 cri

[lusty hinge]

lmfao

i need an UW 4k

[pearl grail]

no VA panel, Im not an IPS person

one of my monitors is ips tho

[lusty hinge]

you willingly buy VA?

[pearl grail]

yes

[lusty hinge]

i mean fair enough

if ya like it ya like it but wowie

you should try oled next one

[pearl grail]

there are good VA panels

[lusty hinge]

yesh

[pearl grail]

and then there are cheap va panels

with horrible response times

there are a few games ill play at 1080p but others ill play at 1440p

war thunder I can play at 1440p because I get 150fps on max settings with DLSS turned off

[lusty hinge]

1080p on a 1440p display?

[pearl grail]

well what if I play Jedi Survivor, my gpu wont like it at 1440p lol

I got 1440p for video and photo editing

[lusty hinge]

fair enough

why not just

DLSS your way through it

1080p on thhat must look

interesting

SCREENS!!!!11!!

[pearl grail]

because not all games have dlss

ill dlss through it on games that support it

[lusty hinge]

whhat about FSR

[pearl grail]

possibly

[grave cipher]

should of bought a 6800xt and then resold 3060

then 170hz 1440p

but if you sacrifice some graphics settings then its still not a bad buy

just your gonna be gpu bound in literally everything

[lusty hinge]

bottleneck!!11!!1

[pearl grail]

I'm not buying an amd GPU and I don't want to get into why

I'm fine with their cpu's

[pearl grail]

No the monitor was priority. I have my reasons that I can't be bothered to get into rn.

My gpu is actually handling it well too

[lusty hinge]

grrrrr

get into why

is it outdated 2015 HD series problems

[pearl grail]

Not a fan of their drivers but that's not why.

[lusty hinge]

grrrrrrr

[pearl grail]

It's personal

[lusty hinge]

now im just curious

i dont even want to explain why amd is fine anymore im just curious

please do explain

[pearl grail]

Fine

Actually no

Like I said

Personal

[lusty hinge]

god damn it

im intrigued

how can it be personal? did AMD punch you? did Lisa Su steal your wife? i have so many questions

damn you Lisa Su stop hurting people

[grave cipher]

Lisa Su stole my wife

[lusty hinge]

speedu noo 😿

[pearl grail]

Someone I genuinely hate with a passion for things he has done has that gpu, I'd rather getting something better when the time comes for an upgrade.

[lusty hinge]

very interesting reason

definitely a new one to me

[pearl grail]

It's the way my brain works, it just reminds me of that person

I plan on sticking with Nvidia anyways because of their dlss stuff

Works really well

Gives me like 40 extra frames in some games on quality mode

[grave cipher]

dlss is a scam return to native rendering

[grave cipher]

yea that will happen when your memory bound out of your ass

[pearl grail]

What i mean is i go from 120 fps to 160fps

My pc ain't struggling in the first place

[lusty hinge]

i cant wait for 5090 256GB GDDR8XX running 4K native 1200fps

[lusty hinge]

youre on a 3060 at 1440p!!

[pearl grail]

Yeah watch it only have 16gb

[lusty hinge]

if it only has 16gb i wouldnt mind

AMD only gives their cards more vram for the bandwidth

[pearl grail]

My 3060 is a 12gb

[lusty hinge]

only nvidia has access to GDDR6X

AMD uses GDDR6 and stacks the vram for bandwidth reasons

[pearl grail]

Ngl I'm kinda tired of hearing that nothing is fine when everything is fine.

[lusty hinge]

the 3060 at 1440p isnt fine

juuuuuust plaaaaaying

[pearl grail]

I didn't come here for advice

So i don't care not to be rude or anything.

[lusty hinge]

skibidi toilet.

oh hey

i know a guy online with the most cooked set up

i imagine yours to be the same

let me find it

obviously ive seen yours before.

but idk, something just makes me imagine yours like this

[lusty hinge]

comments on the fire hazard arent tolerated

[grave cipher]

tbh i have something similar unironically

[lusty hinge]

oh my god

of course

[grave cipher]

with the fire hazard

[lusty hinge]

i need to see

on the topic of fire hazards

i plugged my charger into my surge protector last night and it flashed

safe to say i replaced it lmfao

[grave cipher]

oh yea they do that sometimes

[lusty hinge]

yeag its scary

its done it a few times before but it was smashed to bits anyway

[grave cipher]

mine blew the fuse on my extension cord and caused the entire upstairs to trip

[lusty hinge]

it could be worse. we could have US plugs

[grave cipher]

imagine

[lusty hinge]

average hair dryer use in the UK

just shurs everything off for no reason

but lmfao thats crazy

[grave cipher]

not even right now the statics are 0:1 hair dryer to phone charger ratio

[lusty hinge]

nooo way

are you using any special chargers or just boring stock charger

[grave cipher]

just the samsung fast charger

[lusty hinge]

ah

i bought this

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

along with a ugreen cable that has a little face on it >.<

and its awesome

obviously super overkill

[grave cipher]

oh yea that would do it though

[lusty hinge]

yeah

exactly why i decided its time for a replacement strip

i charge like 5 things at once so figured this would be cool

[grave cipher]

I just use my pc to charge everything at this point

[lusty hinge]

phone, headphones, battery pack, another battery pack because im awesome, pokemon ++ (lol) and occasionally some other random devices

[lusty hinge]

this is the method

[grave cipher]

2 battery packs is crazy

[lusty hinge]

hey man

being a student does things to you

ive had my phone die too many times

not like i use both tbf

[grave cipher]

a back up of a back up?

[lusty hinge]

yeah!

in the rare occassion i use the back up

i have another one

usually i just share it though

[grave cipher]

what you got like an iphone 4? or you just play on it all day?

[lusty hinge]

i do not pay attention to class
