I already got an ssd

grave cipher
#

out with the M.2 and in with whatever case you fancy

#

nah AM4 not even remotely worth vs the above build

#

ik @lusty hinge is a case/psu euthenist so she'll have better suggestions than I, but overall thats about the best your gonna get in Ireland atm

patent briar
#

Also why is the motherboard so expensive

grave cipher
#

cheapest good board that supports ddr5

#

only other options are uber cheap corners cut monstrosities

lusty hinge
#

the moment you go for anything remotely better like the XT PRO you end up spending like 80-90+ euros

opaque moon
#

can you send a good video for DDU

#

i just got this 7700xt bro ๐Ÿ˜ญ

lusty hinge
#

relatively straight forward

#

go to the AMD site and download your desired drivers for your GPU but dont actually run the installation yet
launch into windows safe mode and open DDU

#

then select amd then just click on the big remove drivers button

#

i believe theres a button that makes your pc auto restart once youve done it, but restart your computer after and go back into normal windows

#

then run your amd drivers

I am checking my CPU temp right now, and it is at 100 degrees (not good). The weird thing is that these past few weeks the computer has been able to sit at a stable 65 degrees, no matter how hard I strain the CPU, and sometimes it just jumps to 100 degrees without warning. Right now I am just browsing the internet and it's at 100.

oh yea that most common issue its probs paste or contact on the cpu

#

if its OC'd then that'll definitely change the heat output as well

#

could also just be that the AIO (I think you have one?) has just become rather inefficient overtime

opaque moon
#

uea

#

so remember the gpu thing yesterday

#

could that happen if it wasn't fully pushed in

#

Yes

#

I did say originally to reseat the card

#

Man

#

yeah imma need help

grave cipher
noble oak
#

Thankyou

grave cipher
#

whats the issue

noble oak
#

Okay so when i boot up my pc

#

originally it was starting bios and i got everything

#

But from time to time my like screen display kinda just cuts off for a bit

#

like black then comes back

#

Like nothing happened

#

And i could be sitting there watching something too

grave cipher
#

that to me sounds like screen saver (a thing windows does if you dont interact with your pc for a bit)

#

if you only ever encounter it when you are not doing something on it i.e. moving the mouse/typing etc, then yea definitely that

#

if you type into the windows search bar at the bottom left of the screen "choose a power plan" and then hit enter

#

you'll get a windows 7 style menu and you want to click this

#

and then just set it to "never" in both of the options and hit save

noble oak
#

Thats my only problem so far

#

I will actually check that when i get home from work buddy

ill lyk if it happens again but so far it hasnt

Mediocre psu

#

Corsair memory is quite bad on ddr5

I think the ssd is Decent? Though that's definitely not intentional

#

What that looks like to me is just a company trying to get rid of stock that isn't selling

#

Hence the pick and mix build

#

Elaborate

#

Just an overvalued product that's going to suffer from too many background apps and not enough cores to shed that load

#

No but it will determine if you stutter into non existence after a longer period of time

#

What

#

I wonder what happens if I throw the word intel in here

#

Yea what I thought

#

Not right now got better things to do than debate what is basically the average reddit opinion

#

"The ryzen dogs it" isn't opinionated?

#

Considering it doesn't

#

Well that's factual because it's based in facts "the ryzen dogs it" is not

#

How is it

pulsar fossil
#

Be nice to others

#

You can do that without being like that

grave cipher
#

I'll tell you what since you're looking for an argument

#

How is "ryzen dogs it" based in facts

#

Tell me that and I'll respond properly at some point

#

Just as I said I have better things to be doing on a Monday

#

Yea I mean actual receipts for this specifically

grave cipher
#

why would I? you're making that claim

#

Im just asking for something that actually backs it up

#

go get some then

lusty hinge
#

7600X3D costs a lot more than the 13600K and often doesnt perform any better

#

youll only benefit with it in games such as Rust or EFT

#

did you suddenly switch comparisons? the original point was about gaming, in which absolutely no CPU gets too hot to cool on any decent air cooler

#

the 7700X can currently be purchased for $280, and the 14600KF for $219. techpowerup shows that the 2 CPUs perform near identical on average at 1080p, and if youre planning on doing any multi core work then the 14600KF is going to gap your 7700x

#

nothing you replied to has any sources attached to them. when you say "their benchmarks?" you arent actually providing any sources. it typically isnt the job of the person requesting sources to provide the source, but rather the people making said claims

#

if you cant or wont provide sources to back up your claims, then youre not acting with the best intent and it makes you seem pretty untrustworthy

#

upgrade what CPU to what CPU though? a lot of people bring up the point of socket changes but its pretty easy to ignore that when youre not clarifying anything. if youre trying to upgrade from a 12600KF to a 14900KF, you can do that on the same socket on the motherboard you already own. a 7500F to a 9800X3D can also be done on the same socket/board. if youre trying to argue that you cannot upgrade your CPU on the same socket in 5 years, then thats a very silly point to make because BOTH sides will be on new sockets in 5 years.

#

its also just foolish to plan 5 years ahead

lusty hinge
#

@grave cipher nv2nv2nv2nv2nv2

most consumers dont have the correct equipment or enough funding to create proper benchmarks that can be properly repeated with no issues

cuz AMD sucks and all 7900 cards use same PCB

just get more money and do it now

grave cipher
# lusty hinge yay

yea probs because core doesnt draw a lot of power and ref pcb was pretty good off the get go

#

nonono dont fall for marketing its cuz amd bad

#

if youre gonna waterblock it i expect to hear you say youre pushing 700w through it

pulsar fossil
#

Let me start over here, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU/RAM/Mobo to pair it better with my 4080

#

I currently have an i9-9900k and 32GB of RAM

#

My first thought was still to go the Ryzen 7 9800X3D route for something that will last

#

Focus is mainly on gaming

#

But productivity is a plus

grave cipher
#

well what res do you play at

#

I assume 4k given the spec

pulsar fossil
#

1440p

grave cipher
#

hmm

#

I would like to recommend intel but I dont like recommending high end intel without like mega tuning

#

like a 14700k would slap but stock it kinda blows a little

pulsar fossil
#

i9-14900K is about the same price and includes AC Shadows and 6 months of ubi+ ๐Ÿ˜…

lusty hinge
#

a 14700k/f is still going to make a lot more sense at 1440p gaming over something like a 9800x3d considering lennart wants to do more than just game

grave cipher
#

yea thats where Im at

lusty hinge
#

theres no reason to be spending like 600 euros or whatever it is for a 9800x3d at 1440p

#

unless you exclusively play rust, eft or the finals

pulsar fossil
#

So the i7-14700K?

grave cipher
#

where ive ended up personally

#

all the multi core for production

#

and all the single core for gaming

#

I will say that if you spent time playing with it it would slap a 7800X3D

#

ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING is my current mobo according to hwinfo

pulsar fossil
#

Wouldn't work with the new CPU anyway

grave cipher
#

if only

#

im throwing something together in the background anyway

#

thats basically the cpu side done

#

rest of it is more up to you to decide

pulsar fossil
#

48 GB RAM seems like a lot?

#

I member when I had 64 MB ๐Ÿฅฒ

grave cipher
#

you can go 32 but 48 is actually easier to run

pulsar fossil
#

and 8 MB VRAM

#

Fair

#

Extra RAM is always nice for Adobe software

#

And Chrome

#

But thanks! I'll add it to my options

#

Also gotta get approval from my boss

#

My boss:

#

She's easily bribed with food thankfully

lusty hinge

need 64GB of GDDR8X for fortnite 16K

so with my pc when it arrived all the case fans are flowing in should i go ahead and get two more and have it vent out the top to keep air circulating? The air flow is already decent flowing out the top without fans just curious

# pulsar fossil But thanks! I'll add it to my options

Hey Lennart, so I actually have the build proposed by @grave cipher aside from the RAM. I can tell you though that you're going to run into a lot of issues right off the bat. The first being the cooling.

  1. The 420mm AIO it incredibly big. The only case I fit mine into was the Corsair 7000D which is truly a massive case.
  2. Even though TJMAX is 100ยฐC, you'll notice with other coolers that you'll get spiking that will enable TT
  3. I'd recommend a deepcool AIO if you're wanting something smaller.
  4. I also recommend getting yourself some PTM 7950 from modiy or Grizzley KryoSheet for thermal compound.
  5. The MSI board sucks and the cpu mount itself sucks. Replace it with the Thermalright CPU Contact Frame for LGA 1700

On the topic of the MSI board, be very careful with the bios updates which you MUST do unless you want to risk your CPU. I upgraded and skipped 3 versions. This bricked my CPU and I had to RMA it. Previously it was working perfectly fine.

Also, don't bother with 24GB RAM. Usually 24,48 are more expensive than 16,32. Go with a 6400 DDR5 DC RAM with Intel XMP ready. No need to get fancy.

I would also recommend the 14700K not the KF. The performance difference is not noticeable (Pic attached).

I've also attached my PC info just to prove that I am using that build.

I use the 14700k for my workstation with a quadro RTX 4000 but I also have a gaming PC I just built in my living room. It's running an AMD 9950X , 64GB DDR5 6400, MSI Nvidia RTX 4070ti Super. I also added a Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E so that I could use a GEN 5 nvme. This was not a cheap build but it runs games and whatever I put to it like a beast. Way better than intel.

Anyways, I hope this helps guide you on what you need. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions or need some additional help.

#

ew

grave cipher
# past cape Hey Lennart, so I actually have the build proposed by <@331929369847005186> asi...

aio wasnt a final choice just the best one, LF3 360 is also fine. LF3 also comes with contact plate as standard, the board is fine? it has no issues, temps are fine as well. a bios update will not brick your cpu lol thats not how that works at all, 24Gb sticks are easier to run than 16, which is important for stability reasons , KF was cheaper.

this is a build I have done myself and its completely fine, your experience sounds more a kin to user error than manufacture one if im honest,

grave cipher
lusty hinge
#

LF3 contact on LGA1700 is kinda mediocre

grave cipher
#

its mid but its enough for a stock 14700k

#

which is what matters

lusty hinge
#

KF is awesomer than K unless you specifically need iGP for quicksync or something

lusty hinge
#

could always just cope and go for a frozen notte anyway considering lennart said its gaming

pulsar fossil
lusty hinge
#

wont be pushing 200w through a 14700kf if youre playing games

I'm still conflicted on Intel vs AMD and I'll be honest that I'm kinda leaning towards AMD currently

it was never intended to be a high performing gaming lineup though

it cut power draw and is still a top performer for multi core shenanigans

tbh you can just oc it and get all of that back

if you just max out D2D clocks you'll get like 30% back

I7 Ultra released Q4'24 which shows on the market the direction it took Intel. AMD Dropped too but this is mainly supply issues because they were relying on Intel's release of the new ultra series to stabilize the demand a bit.

Is a Noctua NH-L9x65 chromax.black enough to cool the 9800X3D?

lusty hinge
#

yeah but so is a cold winter breeze

pulsar fossil
lusty hinge
#

youre drawing the equivalent of nothing if youre using a 9800x3d so yknow

pulsar fossil
#

It's still a 120W tdp

lusty hinge
#

TDP is irrelevant if youre trying to figure out what cooler to use

#

7800X3D TDP is also 120w and we all know how easy that thing is to cool

pulsar fossil
#

Aight

lusty hinge
#

do you already own the l9x65

past cape
#

oops sorry Speedu I didn't realise I had your reply on

lusty hinge
#

what exactly are heating issues

#

extremely high temps also

past cape
# lusty hinge extremely high temps also

Maybe google it? I'm not going to give you the story of AMD and how the company was created to when it is now. If you want to look into it further I suggest to do your research on it.

lusty hinge
#

im not going to google something that doesnt make sense

pulsar fossil
past cape
#

Otherwise why ask the question right?

lusty hinge
#

there is no trust to be had here im just trying to get a clarification on what you actually mean

#

heating issues are non existent

#

manufacturers put procedures in place that aim to prevent damage to your cpu through heat. on the manufacturers product page for your specific cpu you can see the point in which youll begin to thermal throttle (TJMax)
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/237504/intel-core-i9-processor-14900ks-36m-cache-up-to-6-20-ghz/specifications.html 14900KS has a tjmax of 100, which means at this point or beyond your cpu will do the equivalent of become a dial up machine to try to come back down to safe temperatures

#

literally any temperature up until the tjmax is perfectly fine

#

if youre throttling, you likely need a better cooler, a repaste or just need to remount your cooler

past cape
#

Ah thanks for literally just proving exactly what I just said lol

lusty hinge
#

"overheating issues" are vague because a lot of people get scared over "high temperatures" but then theyre only at like 80 degrees

lusty hinge
#

extremely high temps doesnt actually tell me anything

# lusty hinge extremely high temps doesnt actually tell me anything
  1. AMD Athlon XP (2000s)
    Problem: These early CPUs lacked integrated heat spreaders (IHS), making them more susceptible to overheating if cooling was inadequate.
    Notorious Models: Athlon XP 2000+, 2200+, 2400+, 2800+

  2. AMD Phenom Series (2007-2011)
    Problem: The first-gen Phenom X4 series, particularly the Phenom 9850 BE, was known for high power consumption and heat generation.
    Notorious Models:
    Phenom X4 9850 BE (TDP: 125W)
    Phenom II X4 965 BE (125W version)
    Phenom II X6 1100T (140W version)

  3. AMD FX-Series (Bulldozer & Piledriver, 2011-2014)
    Problem: High TDP and poor power efficiency led to excessive heat.
    Notorious Models:
    FX-9590 (220W TDP) โ€“ Required liquid cooling in most cases.
    FX-9370 (220W TDP)
    FX-8350 (125W TDP)

  4. AMD Ryzen 3000 Series (Zen 2, 2019)
    Problem: High idle temperatures were reported due to aggressive boost behavior and small die size.
    Notorious Models:
    Ryzen 9 3900X
    Ryzen 9 3950X

  5. AMD Ryzen 5000 Series (Zen 3, 2020)
    Problem: While efficient, Ryzen 5000 CPUs tended to run hot due to high boost frequencies and tighter thermal limits.
    Notorious Models:
    Ryzen 9 5900X
    Ryzen 9 5950X

take all of the keycaps off and just chuck them in a bowl of soapy warm water

you still need to take the keycaps off

cl36 memory is bad bro

#

i would recommend a DDR4 AM4 high end pc for same price then these mid items

porcessor isn't that good either

#

not worth the money

jade wraith

i got pcs better then that for a good price for sale

#

and shipping from be isn't that expensive

Anyway, the struggle is real when you realize your new motherboard requires 4+8 pins and your modular psu isn't wired up for that

May his rear be itchy and his arms too short to reach

jade wraith

i switch from my vanguard 5080 to my 3080 again

grave cipher
#

the power connector isnt a terrible idea just very poor execution

#

if they had proper current monitoring for the 12V rails on the connector then you wouldnt get any burning cards

#

they did actually on the 3090s

#

but 4090s had 1 which is useless

same with the 5090s

why you've never seen a burnt 3090 connector though, they had proper monitoring in place

only a cybenetics report

what is the exclusivity in buying a different PSU brand

like efficiency or just knowing it has the lowest chances of catching on fire

lusty hinge

you still shouldnt be looking at psus by brand

im not tryna be rude im just asking if i buy a corsair rm850x or that will there be any difference

lusty hinge

what year rmx

lament badge

rmx is better
