Who would even buy that these days

All the machines they make that are worth buying all has soldered on chip memory

[pulsar fossil]

Yeah those are kinda silly

[lament badge]

props to asrock for taking 2 weeks for a response on rma

[lusty hinge]

splendid

[sharp crow]

Hiii, I am currently trying to build a very nice pc and I would love if someone can check if what I have done so far is good or nah

[grave cipher]

send her in

[sharp crow]

Dmmss??

[grave cipher]

nah just in the chat here

[sharp crow]

I was going for the 5070 but it sold out sadly

[grave cipher]

I would definitely reconsider the board/memory/gpu

unless you are after something specific to that board all the B650 boards are gonna be hella cheaper and just as good

memory is just plain bad, ideally want to stay away from corsair and go for 6000 C30

for the gpu you could definitely grab up a 4070/S/TIS or a 9070XT

I would also consider 7900XT provided its on a decent deal

[sharp crow]

So basically everything is bad

Holy

Okay I will try again

[sharp crow]

4060 was the highest one I found

[grave cipher]

where do you live

[lament badge]

I got monarch on sung jin woo

[lusty hinge]

nice

[pulsar fossil]

Finally a drive that will fit every Call of Duty ever made 😂

Source: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdNuG2Mo/

[lusty hinge]

hell yeah 7TB after windows conversion

[high stratus]

122TB 💀 💀

Now you can download GTA 6

[vapid tide]

It’s 15k 💀

[tawny tide]

15k usd? 🗿

[high stratus]

15 grand for 122tb?

Dayum

[lusty hinge]

well yeah its U.2

that stuffs like $1000 for 500GB

thats just the drive price too

[high stratus]

Wtf

Thats crazy

[lament badge]

seattle

let's build a micro center here

and a whataburger while we're at it

[vapid tide]

no we should build a 4th microcenter in nyc

[lament badge]

@lusty hinge asrock says to wait another week for a response on rma I waited another week they still haven't said anything

like this gotta be a joke

almost a full month

[lusty hinge]

lol RMA process

[lament badge]

is it usual for a company to do this in rma

[lusty hinge]

yeah cuz theyre all pathetic

theyre incapable of just hiring support agents

its just like 2 guys being held at gunpoint

[limpid bobcat]

anyone have experience buying new egg refurbished gpu?

[lament badge]

probably

they're gonna make me wait an extra 4 days

def buying a backup gpu for this reason

[plucky meadow]

i just built this computer, is my cpu good?

[vocal gazelle]

nice explanation

build a pc before they get expensive haha but then trump said they dont want to put tarriffs on tech like that

[lusty hinge]

actually, he did. again

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-admin-walks-back-tariff-exemption-on-electronics_n_67fbf396e4b06646ea60b482

[lament badge]

is trump putting tarrifs on them or not

[vapid tide]

hes trying to see how closee he can get to impeachment without actually getting impeached

[lament badge]

not really

he's using the tarrifs to see what advantages he can gain Over other countries

high risk high reward type situation

Bringing tarrifs onto already expensive technology is a horrible idea though

and vehicle production

[lament badge]

yes we are ALL copping this 5060ti

[lusty hinge]

yah i saw that a few days ago

asus had it in china i think

[lament badge]

YES infact lisquie IS building a miku themed pc

[lusty hinge]

miku dayo

[nocturne folio]

I'm looking from the UK (So, not always keeping up with info as it comes in) and I don't think that anyone on the planet could predict what will happen, including the orange fellow himself, sooooooo 🤷‍♂️

[lament badge]

tarrifs won't be staying for much longer

[lament badge]

I had to email them their schedule for them to update the RMA chart

You're Fine! 🗣️

[plucky meadow]

Whenever I use it I always get these long socks and stuff idk why

[fair peak]

Not a pc building help but laptop choosing
Which 1 should I go for?
I'm thinking MSI stealth
Do you have any other laptop I should consider?
It's going to be my partner for 7-8 years or more

[lament badge]

if it revolves around any sort of pc you can ask for help

I'm not a professional in gaming laptops but I would go with the rog

build quality sucks on pretty much any gaming laptop

i don't recommend core ultra

[cyan solar]

if you want to game on the laptop then i suggest that you go for atleast and i7 or ryzen 7 and above, then 4050 minimum since it will be for 7-8 years, but price is up to you

im thinking the omen if anything though

good for price and good soecs

specs*

4070 and ryzen 9

[lament badge]

i wouldn't get a 4050

[late drum]

got a question for here what should i upgrade first mobo and cpu or the graphics card

for mobo i found a kit for 1200 for motherboard (asus tuf gaming b650 plus wifi), cpu ryzen 7 9800x3d, ram: 2x32gb 5600 MHz corsair dominator platinum and a samsung 9100 pro heatsink 2TB pcie 5)
and i have an and msi z590 pro wifi with an I7 11700KF, 2x16GB corsair vengeance ddr4 3200Mhz and a samsung 970 evo plus 1TB pcie 3

graphics card is an msi suprim x RTX 3080

[grave cipher]

it depends on use case, if you're a 4K enjoyer then a heavier GPU is going to go the extra mile. If you rather all the frame rate and non of the graphical quality then a new CPU would be ideal

[gusty agate]

I know nothing about intel. In my case I have a gen3 Ryzen and I upgraded from a 2070 to a 4060 and the CPU has caused bottle necking with the the GPU. So you want to make sure your current CPU can handle the GPU upgrade if you go that route first. Don't be silly like me...Thank goodness I get that problem fixed next week lol

I've had to live with that for like a year pfft

[lusty hinge]

has caused bottle necking? or rather literally nothing changed

[lament badge]

you could probably push your stuff more with a 40/ 50 series

if you want future proofing though, probably get the that am5 bundle

[lament badge]

@lusty hinge it took 1 month and 8 days for asrock to fully process my RMA

they just shipped it out

[lusty hinge]

lol thats crazy long

[raven marlin]

I got a ryzen 7 5800x Need to upgrade? Or keek it for 2 years and upgrade to AM5?

[grave cipher]

well you only need to upgrade if you're not hitting the ideal performance target anymore

[lament badge]

you should be fine, what gpu do you have

like speedu said you should only need to upgrade when you're not getting good performance

CPU upgrades should take careful planning IMO. you usually need to buy 2 - 3 things

[ripe bay]

Stay with am4

For hr best gpu rn is a amd radeon rx 7600 xt 16 gb

320 usd

[reef nexus]

does anyone know where i can get a good prebuilt

[lament badge]

the box they sent it in 😭😭

[lusty hinge]

if it works it works chat

@grave cipher skibidi goon

[lament badge]

5060ti is x8?

[lusty hinge]

yeah

so was 4060 ti

[grave cipher]

what in gods name

[molten spindle]

@deft iron might need a thanos snap here

M8 spammed multiple channels

[sudden zinc]

got a question i just got a gift some one send me asus h670 tuf soo i was thinking of buying a intel cpu like made my mind for 13700k but ppl say that it has instability issue via oxidation and should i trust intel or should i sell it and go for am5 which would be a hard cause i have to buy ddr5 ram plus new mobo and cpu amd cpu are soo overpriced and would pair it with a 4080s or some thing like 5070ti

[lusty hinge]

or you could just update your bios

[gritty perch]

um h670 is am5.. according to google

[lusty hinge]

google it again

cuz it isnt

[gritty perch]

oh i somehow got x670 instead of h 😦

[lusty hinge]

yeah thats a little different

[gritty perch]

ya. earlyness and google did not cooperate this morning

[grave cipher]

Oxidisation was only affecting select batches from 2023 iirc, other issues was solved via bios updates

Only real issue now is the lack of good 2 dimm boards so you can actually have good memory performance

[sudden zinc]

Soo is it safe to consider intel making my mind on 13700k

Iam upgrading from am4 to lga1700 13700k ddr4

[pulsar fossil]

English only please :)

[sterile hawk]

MAN

I JUST UPDATED MY BIOS AND I LOST FPS

wait

my ram speed is to 2400mhz

so it just rested my ram

great

nevermind i got a boost

[grave cipher]

Yea, what ddr4

Lga1700 is memory cucked on ddr5, ddr4 you're basically nerfing it

If you are committing to ddr4 what you need is 2x16 B die and a couple of days to lose on memory OC

Otherwise I think I actually would recommend against it and just go the route of a 5800X3D

Unless you need the cores

[desert solstice]

Anyone know any cool lighting setups on their keyboard?

[molten spindle]

100% static purple

[lament badge]

@lusty hinge

the lights aren't turning on

and I'm using the manual

[sudden zinc]

nah broo its ddr4 5333 oc and i dont have an am4 board i would be pairing it with 4080s

[sudden zinc]

what do you mean by die in couple days

[lusty hinge]

ram die & you spending a few days on overclocking

not you dying in a couple of days

[sudden zinc]

Nah my mobo don't support oc but my ram do so ill buy a 4000mhz and oc corsair cl18

[sudden zinc]

broo the mouse you have been using just wanna know its a razer viper v2 pro do you have any issue with it and is it great for large hand and ever faced a issue with it scroll wheel issue are there ppl say

[grave cipher]

But you're upgrading from am4?

[sudden zinc]

yes

[grave cipher]

So you do have an am4 board

[sudden zinc]

am4 is dead and there are no high end cpu for it soo i moved to intel and am4 was rocking 5600 before and and

no i dont have am4 board cause i sell it

[grave cipher]

Trust me that 13700k on ddr4 is going to be worse than a 5800x3d for gaming

[sudden zinc]

there no point of buying a new pc with am4

2025

[grave cipher]

Ddr4 is that bad for lga1700

[sudden zinc]

my old mobo was a b550 aours elite

[grave cipher]

You could always just get a ddr5 board

Or go am5

[sudden zinc]

i was upgrading like in am5 boards are too expensive plus for 300 dollar you cant find a good cpu

[grave cipher]

No lga1700 cpu is good on ddr4 this is the point I'm trying to make

[sudden zinc]

the 7800x3d is the best cpu but very over priced

[grave cipher]

You're gonna be down like 30 40% perf in games

[sudden zinc]

ok

[grave cipher]

If you grabbed the best ddr4 and oc'd it to the max you would probably only hit xmp ddr5 levels of performance

Lga1700 is a platform where memory performance makes the overall performance

You could be punching up to a 7800x3d or doing worse than a 5700x3d depending on the memory configuration alone

On the same cpu^

It's genuinely that bipolar

[sudden zinc]

soo i dont have an option because i have the mobo ram just cpu left

[grave cipher]

Well my only recommendation is to learn how to memory oc

Ultimately the cpu you're putting in there isn't going to change much

13400f or 14900k

You might see slightly higher perf on higher end parts because they have bigger caches but that memory limitation is a very real thing

[sudden zinc]

i will just

buy a good ddr4

ram

then iam good to go

[grave cipher]

If it's xmp you intend to use then it's not making a difference tbh

Memory manufacturers have been very bad for a very long time for making xmp profiles that suck ass

[lament badge]

Never had issues with viper v2 pro

[sudden zinc]

thanks

[violet zealot]

Hello, I bought my computer used about 2 years ago from a dear friend of mine, recently I noticed that its performance seemed to be deteriorating while playing games, although I haven't dusted the inside for a while, I haven't really looked at the performance for a while, but now that I started "Oblivion remastered", I noticed that it keeps the processor at 100% utilization 😅, could you recommend what I should improve on it first? Thanks in advance for your answers!

broo

broo

[sudden zinc]

buy your self new mobo cpu and ram could upgrade to a 9070xt or if you are nvidia guy better buy 5070ti or 5080 depend

psu also upgrade

[violet zealot]

Should I buy an entire new rig ?

[gritty perch]

probably, but the ssds could potentially still be used at least the 1tb

[violet zealot]

A 5070 is going to be cheaper nowadays then the 4070 serires ? I've read a lot of thingsabout graphic cards

[gritty perch]

actually, its quite slow. so id only use it for older games

the above comment is about the ssds

[violet zealot]

Oh 😦

I tought its a solid PC for mediocre gaming

[gritty perch]

its like gen 3x4

its not terrible depending what u paid, and u said uve had it 2 years?

[violet zealot]

I paid for it like 1125 euros in 2023, I've been told its quite strong for the value

It was used for like a year but the guy switch it for a laptop because hes not gaming anymore

[sudden zinc]

broo

[violet zealot]

I feel like some of you are better at how to make a new PC nowadays with decent money spending on it xd

[hard kindle]

I wouldnt even bother with Nvidia GPUs at this point. The only 40 series I was interested in, the 4070 Super Ti, is pretty much discontinued and if the crippling scalping doesn't turn you away from buying lets say a 5080, then the constant bricking probably do.

[lusty hinge]

if youre using those ssds for games its one of the best ssds available

[heady kelp]

yo can sm help me wi th my steelseries please

[lusty hinge]

i have no idea why you came to the conclusion that the ssd is bad from the fact its "3x4"

[hard kindle]

in fact thats what i am saving money for rn

[stark stratus]

guys

can someone help me??

[lusty hinge]

do you want to say what with

[stark stratus]

guys

[lusty hinge]

i hate keyboards vro
tried all of these?

[stark stratus]

I have an HP PC, it's too bad, does anyone know how I can improve my performance without buying a processor or graphics card, just with an application?

[lusty hinge]

how do you intend to get any worthwhile performance boost from some software

[stark stratus]

or just made changes on my pc

[heady kelp]

yo who knows how to fix game detection on steelseries

its my first time using it

icl

[lusty hinge]

other than using MSI Afterburner or going into BIOS and doing some shenanigans with your CPU/RAM you wont get any improvement with software

[heady kelp]

and it keeps saying no game detected

only desktop capture

and idk why its dfoimg this

[stark stratus]

I have an old PC and I'm fed up with it.

[lusty hinge]

#💻-building-a-pc message
or get a new one

[stark stratus]

I'm broke... 😔😔

I'm tired of playing on an old PC, I have no money, I'm broke

[lusty hinge]

unfortunate

consider overclocking

idk what hardware youre running tho

might just be easier to lower your in-game settings

or make use of upscalers like FSR (or DLSS if you have an nvidia card)

[heady kelp]

@lusty hinge

can u help me

my steelseries keeps saying no game detected

[lusty hinge]

i dont use steelseries software cuz its a piece of garbage

[heady kelp]

what u use

[lusty hinge]

nothing cuz good stuff doesnt need software

[lament badge]

yea I tried them

the LEDs definitely aren't broken considering they were just on a few days ago

[lament badge]

#1 razer snypase hater

app sucks so bad

[lusty hinge]

all of them do

even the good ones

[lament badge]

I am gonna go crazy

I am gonna lose my mind

the gpu wasn't the problem

it's STILL blackscreening

@lusty hinge gpu riser, pcie slot, or psu / psu cables are the only culprits ?? I already tried ram and a brand new 7700xt

if it's the psu corsair is never seeing my money again

[sudden zinc]

broo it gonna be the psu because of low voltage the system crash and

or press if this gonna work win ctrl shift b keys

they keys will reset your gpu driver than it should work

[sudden zinc]

yeah on my black shark v2 pro like its crash

[sudden zinc]

just go with 9070xt if you found under 850 dollar

scalping is crazy you will find 600 dollar gpu for 1100 plus

i have also suffer a lot finding my self 5080 for 1000 dollar

[sudden zinc]

broo the mobo super high end buy a x670 or a b650 my been running a 7900x on a b650 asus tuf and put that money in gpu and it can run a 7800x3d with no issue

try this pc

go with it perfect combo 4k gaming and other stuff tell me if you like it

5295$ for your

3340

or you can cut some more cost buy buying a cheap monitor of 1440p asus

[sudden zinc]

my pc

[lament badge]

i tried ddu and it didn't work

it's definitely a physical problem

[sudden zinc]

my pc

any thing i can improve

[lament badge]

as lisque to help you find a better psu

there's definitely better 1k watts

[sudden zinc]

like mobo ram cpu are good

combo

[lament badge]

yea they're good

[lament badge]

@lusty hinge got any psu ideas

[sudden zinc]

asus

strix psu

1000 watt 80 plus gold

[sudden zinc]

hey if you turn on turbo boost like in in intel but it takes 253 watt it can damage and lit it go 100c

[lusty hinge]

do you have a second machine to try it on

also idk what that other guy is trying to tell you

idk why itd be the psu too low "volts".

[lusty hinge]

why are you attaching screenshots when the whole idea of the site is that its super easy to share it with a tiny link?

[lusty hinge]

from what i can tell it seems like they already own that PC, so a recommendation wont do much. although the RMe 2023 isnt too bad, its a cut down RM, but with an awful fan.

but if they were buying now, theyd be stupid to get anything but the GV1000 (assuming US).

the Century G5 was decent so hopefully the Century II is. but 🤷‍♂️

[lusty hinge]

this doesnt damage the cpu

[lament badge]

i don't

[lusty hinge]

the obvious steps forward would be trying without pcie riser, trying bottom physical x16 slot (if you have one) and trying with a single stick of ram (if you want)
what does your gpu riser support? gen 3?

if its a gen 3 riser, try heading into bios and setting your slot to gen 3

can always try a fresh windows install if you havent already

if that doesnt work then its probably something mega weird and something i probably dont know how to help with

as funny as it is for me to just say "AMD moment", its weird its happening. seems like a pretty isolated issue. try reverting to some older driver version, or updating to the very newest ones.

[lament badge]

I believe this only started happening after I got strimers

could they not be delivering enough power?

they aren't lian li

[lament badge]

alright, I'll try the bottom x16 slot with the riser. if it still happens I'll try the top x16 slot horizontal mount

[lusty hinge]

doubt it, although always worth trying without. removing the possibilities makes testing easier.

if these are extensions, you could try removing the extension and clipping the RGB onto your own psu cables

its what i did on my old rig, just bought used lian li strimers and threw the extensions out

just used the rgb and the clips

[lament badge]

it's still happening with the bottom pcie port

gonna try it without the riser now

[lament badge]

what's the chance the entire motherboard is fcked

do these mean anything

[lusty hinge]

any other graphics card that you can try with or a friends to borrow or something

try DDU with new drivers maybe

[lament badge]

Ill try the 6500xt when my brother isnt usin it

[lament badge]

lisquie

I am using the normal pcie cables and it still happened

and device manager is saying this

[lament badge]

I ran OCCT for 10 minutes and nothing happened

[lament badge]

alright I re installed windows I'll lyk if anything happens again

[lusty hinge]

stupid windows vro

[sudden zinc]

ok bro iam gonna place order for viper v2 pro i have a big hand was using g pro x super light before soo i have a palm grip style

and

will the size of this be ok because i was using g pro x super light so upgrading thinking of getting but not sure as it would be ok for large hand

[hard kindle]

Funnily enough the 7800X3D was considered at some points but then I quickly found out it was ridiculously price inefficient

[sudden zinc]

yeah

is you find for 400 dollar

[lament badge]

x3d chips are overpriced

[lament badge]

didn't work

clean windows install did nothing

also tried undervolting and that didn't work either

it's probably a broken part

[lusty hinge]

has the 6500xt been tested

[lament badge]

no not yet

[lusty hinge]

very weird issue

i would imagine there is just something faulty somewhere

clearly not within the gpu though considering you got it RMAd

[lament badge]

could it be a VRM

[lusty hinge]

doubt it but 🤷‍♂️

[grave cipher]

if it was vrm core would probably be dead at this point

vrms either work or kill stuff typically

kinda like psus

since they both are similar in role

[lament badge]

I just now realized but if I keep restarting my pc is lasts less time after each restart

[grave cipher]

just rma it tbh

[lament badge]

I was playing minecraft it shut down after 30 minutes

I did rma the gpu

the mobo?

[grave cipher]

you got another 16x on it?

[lament badge]

yes but it did the same thing

[grave cipher]

am5?

[lament badge]

am4

[grave cipher]

500 series yea?

as in board gen

[lament badge]

yes

[grave cipher]

you got an old card lying around?

[lament badge]

nope

I do have another mobo though

cheap prime b450

[grave cipher]

yea worth trying that

will isolate the issue

[lament badge]

im pretty sure it's device manager

can device manager turn off the gpu while it's running

[grave cipher]

device manager is basically task manager for hardware

it will only do as you command and report general changes

if a device is disabled then that is by the system itself because either the device doesn't work or isn't compatible atm

[lament badge]

sometimes when i turn the pc back on i have to enable my 7700xt in device manager

[lament badge]

I am like 99% sure

that the mobo is bad

took it out put in my prime b450M-A and it's not crashing

[sudden zinc]

yeah 400 dollar you can get 4060 for that price

or even cheap

[lament badge]

I would rather not buy a 4060

[sudden zinc]

same

7800xt would be good

[lament badge]

does anybody know a good memory benchmarking software

[sudden zinc]

geekbench

[gritty perch]

my 7800xt seems to get awfully loud when i get above 90% usage 😦

[lament badge]

that's odd

my 7700xt is quiet above 90% and is always under 61c

what are your temps on 90% ?

[gritty perch]

i wasnt watching, i just moved out of the area that was causing it fast

after that happened i put on the overlay with temperature

[lament badge]

is it still doing it

[sudden zinc]

yoo bro just under volt it will get better temps plus more fps

[gritty perch]

lmao im a dummy and im lucky i didnt bust nothin! my gpu support was messin with the 3rd fan 😦

[lament badge]

you shouldn't have to undervolt if you have the bare minimum of intake

is there an intake fan to the right side of your gpu

[gritty perch]

ya nah i took the undervolt off soon as i saw the gpu fan not bein right. turned it off and fixed the issue

[lament badge]

that's good. wouldn't want the thermal paste to wear

[sudden zinc]

ahh how was under volt

try

it

[lusty hinge]

yeah, he did

then he went back to defaults

[sudden zinc]

yeah he should do it its good for intel and amd

[lusty hinge]

ew

[sudden zinc]

gets more fps

[lusty hinge]

unless he genuinely wants to do so why would you just blind recommend someone compromise system stability

[sudden zinc]

nah i was just saying cause i under volt my old 7700 xt sapphire card soo it worked would getting a high fps plus low temps and chunks less power

amd is the best brand for now just if they improve their software plus price

[lusty hinge]

theyre objectively inferior if you compare similar tier of graphics cards

[sudden zinc]

yeah

[lusty hinge]

AMD is what you go for when you want nvidia -$50

dude wdym yeah

you literally just said theyre the best

[sudden zinc]

yeah i cant pay 1000 dollar for 9 percent plus fake frame money dont grow on trees

[lusty hinge]

coolio

[sudden zinc]

5080 is not worth like you wouldn't get it for 1000 dollar cheapest is 1500 dollar and you would get 4080s for 1000 dollar and why would some gave 500 dollar for 9 percent and fake nvidia really want to work hard or amd will beat like intel clear example you have to improve over time fake frame would gave you nothing

[lusty hinge]

you cant find a 4080 super for 1000 dollars

[sudden zinc]

you can a used

one

[lusty hinge]

ok so $1000 used versus $1500 brand new for a better card

seems fair

thats a stupid comparison

[sudden zinc]

yeah

but

if you get from store you can find one for 1000 or 1100 would be max and plus nvidia card are priced soo much that isnt even worth

[lusty hinge]

dude

what store

theyre all either unavailable or ridiculous prices because theyre not in stock

[sudden zinc]

yes you are right where do you live

in usa here at dubai price are good

sorry uea

you can get a 4080s for 4000 aed that around 1100

[lament badge]

oh my gosh

i am gonna swap the pcb out of ts

lisquie

it will NOT go out of mac os mode

my alt and windows keys are swapped

[lament badge]

"taking power from the gpu gives it more frames" BRO 😭😭😭😭😭😭

LOL SO WE JUST LYING

[lament badge]

there is HARDLY a difference in temps if you have sufficient cooling. i undervolted mine, before and after it was 60c

[lament badge]

do any of these need to be off

[lament badge]

@lusty hinge

i was updating windows

and it said pending restart on the thing

so i restarted it

and now im stuck in a boot loop

[lament badge]

got the drive bro!

[gritty perch]

os or game?

i have the 980 1tb for os. and a 2tb of idr for games

[silk meadow]

Should've bought a SteelSeries SSD. 😔

[silk meadow]

Doesn't matter. Gaming and day to day OS use don't benefit from anything more than a mid-range DRAMless PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD.

[gritty perch]

tbh was more asking about the size...

[lament badge]

I bought one for OS and one for games

[gritty perch]

both 1tb?

[lament badge]

yes

and I have a 2tb hdd for media

[lament badge]

i was using an ADATA sata from 2018 😭😭

[silk meadow]

Buy SteelData from 2025 😤

SteelSeries needs to become the new Asus. Make everything.

I want a SteelPhone, SteelBook laptop, etc.

[sudden zinc]

bro asus is world leading brand

and have too much to offer while steelseries just sell other stuff steelseries can never ne asus

[sudden zinc]

best nice may it last you long

[silk meadow]

Asus are poorly regarded by actual tech experts.

They used to be the go-to brand maybe 10-15 years ago.

Now, their customer service is appalling and their products are indistinguishable from anybody else's (GPUs, boards, mice, keyboards, PSUs, etc.).

But they're still way overpriced as if it's still the days of them being the premium option.

E.g. the best AM5 motherboard is either the Gigabyte AI TOP or MSI Godlike. Nobody cares about Asus in the AMD mobo space.

[sudden zinc]

broo

the strix

asus is like expensive as hell

[gritty perch]

more $$$ doesnt mean better.

[sudden zinc]

asus offer better for their strix lineup they are best mobo making company

[lusty hinge]

nobody cares about anyone in any motherboard space

if anything the only thing people care about is asrock

but no anyone with any knowledge is not choosing stuff based on the brand

especially for AM5 boards where you literally just choose the cheapest one that looks cool

[grave cipher]

they still make the best gpu PCB and best boards for ocing so

oh... you recommended the godlike

thatsss awful

oh and make pretty decent PSUs

but you also recommend the godlike which is A board in which is highly regarded by everyone as the worst board you could buy, its worse for OCing than the unify (along with many other good XOC boards) which is a 3rd of the cost and offers no improvement in anything but is $1500

oh its even E atx just to make you change cases and give you an extra hard time on installation

I really would like to see where you've seen asus slander though and whos telling you to recommend the godlike and that godawful thing from gigabyte

[silk meadow]

[grave cipher]

ask any ocer on lga1700 or AM5 and I mean actual comp ocers

lga1700 subs are dominated by the APEX and the the start of AM5 was 99% Genes (might be different now? idk but gene domination was unreal)

most people still use the apex on lga1851 despite the unify the tachyon X and OCF all existing

[lusty hinge]

have you seen

apple cant get 8000 on his UX

[grave cipher]

yea you have to play with RTTs and odts on it

it does do 8k but its also a pain for doing 8k

because how can you tune for 8k if all the current cpus of the time did like 7200 in G2 on a good sample

and then when actual good cpu came out MSI just dipped and rereleased the generic boards

[lusty hinge]

silly msi

[vital hollow]

more of a steal data

[lusty hinge]

😊

[silk meadow]

Ok, so you're saying Asus boards are good for the 0.01% of DIY builders who are competitive OC'ers?

Now, back to reality

OC'ing fell out of practice over the last decade to the extent most tech enthusiasts don't bother to OC anything.

Also, the best OC boards have two DIMM slots. Not practical for an enthusiast who'd want a large memory pool. Like, um, yours truly, who runs 4x48GB DDR5-6600 CL32 @ 6000 CL32.

[grave cipher]

You said "the best"

Unless you meant the best at wasting money

And asus actually has the best 4 dimmer as well that being the hero

But no most "tech enthusiasts" do oc still otherwise they're not really enthusiasts are they?

You don't call a car person an "enthusiast" if all he does is read spec sheets and buys stock cars

That's a guy who likes to talk about cars but not an "enthusiast" in any meaningful capacity

Also calling any consumer platform "for enthusiasts" is quite funny by your definition which i assume is just needing a lot of ram and nothing else

does steelseries GG not let me clip with amd adrenaline

like i get video but im not getting any audio

"av1 isnt supported" microsoft its not that difficult

[old valve]

Got a new gpu what do you think about the pipe work 😂😂😂

[lusty hinge]

av1 isnt supported by discord or windows or a lot of things by default

windows needs to be installed from microsoft store and discord just wont support it

personally i would suggest just clipping in mp4 if youre just clipping games

[sudden zinc]

gta 6

[lament badge]

Microsoft and amd being devious as usual

I can use HEVC but there's no mp4 format

also i figured it out

AMD adrenaline doesn't let you change the audio output so you have to use a headphone output on windows

adrenaline doesn't support audio mixers very well

[lament badge]

how are the temps?

guy is just GONE

😭😭

[lament badge]

dayummm

[old valve]

😂😁

[grave cipher]

That needs 1000w bios to really stretch its legs

[lament badge]

really?

[old valve]

I have a 1300w psu so that could be possible lol

[grave cipher]

Yea that's power limited

[lament badge]

graphics cards are gonna need their own outlet at some point 😭

[grave cipher]

Core can into like 1.08 iirc

Core there is 1.03

Because power limit

[old valve]

They have limited the astral alot i can't push above 100% power and I can only change the memory clock up to 2000mhz

[grave cipher]

It's more nvidia

[old valve]

Oh ok

[lament badge]

just rma it

[grave cipher]

Nvidia control PCB designs and restrictions

[old valve]

I can do 425 on the gpu and 2000 on the memory lol not sure how the cable would hold at a constant 613w though lol

[lament badge]

every brand is just cooling

[grave cipher]

Kinda why evga and nvidia didn't get along

But yea that could probably hit 750w if not power limited

1000w you would need voltage mod

[old valve]

And a fire extinguisher

These cards are melting things just in standard settings 😂😂

[grave cipher]

Nah you could cool 1kw on air

[pearl summit]

What's the gpu

[lament badge]

1 kilowatt

[grave cipher]

Yea

[lament badge]

we gonna start measuring in kw soon

[grave cipher]

It's not about the amount of power you're using but the amount of waste energy being generated and where that heat is going

[pearl summit]

U actually managed to get it

[old valve]

There are loads available now in the uk

[pearl summit]

I'm seeing some outages

[lament badge]

is there a power load rating for the pump on that

[old valve]

Either that or I was just lucky they actually the air cooled one in after I bought this I would have rather had that so I didn't have huge pipes lol

[old valve]

Probably in the spec sheet?

[lament badge]

yea

I worry about those cards

in a normal aio you can just replace it but that

is probably expensive asf

[old valve]

I don't really keep them long enough for that I'll keep this till a 6090ti or what ever the next flag ship is so about 3 years

[lament badge]

I blame Microsoft for amd driver issues

[lament badge]

what are "oem54.inf" drivers?

[lament badge]

pc smells like it's burning

specifically psu

smelt the back of it 2 feet away smells like smoke

[lament badge]

alright so the psu smelt so bad to where I just took it out completely

like I wasn't anybody near the pc and I could smell it

[lament badge]

lisquie do you think the psu is overheating then it just shuts everything down

[midnight sparrow]

does anyone know which grease is used for Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboard?

like a time b0mb

try msi and asus psu they are god evga is even god

[lament badge]

yea I'm gonna look at some asus ones

[lusty hinge]

MSI, ASUS and EVGA dont produce their own psus

EVGA have some of the worst psus available that can still be purchased

[sudden zinc]

bro

ok

but tbh i used the one in my old pc was a silver stone 750 bronze

[lusty hinge]

https://youtu.be/60jVEwq44ZU its not like im wrong

hardly any brands make their own psus

[sudden zinc]

yeah but there should be a brand i like asus psu

cause iam a fan boy of them

[lusty hinge]

ok but that doesnt mean you should just religiously trust them as god

they have plenty of bad psus

[sudden zinc]

yeah

a good psu should be used in a high end pc ppl now days compromise on psu and buy a cheap brand

[lament badge]

what would you say is the most reliable brand?

or most reliable model

[lusty hinge]

none

although NZXT has a very limited selection of PSUs and a large majority of them are good

[lament badge]

alright I'll take a journey to best buy in a few days and buy one

[lament badge]

didn't know we were worshipping power supplies

[lament badge]

works for a day perfectly fine then the next day it's back to turning off

[lusty hinge]

awesome
its pretty easy to spot a good nzxt power supply
if its fully modular its one of the good ones 👍

if its non modular then its easier to just avoid it

[sudden zinc]

nah i didnt even know we aint hindu broo that worship every thing

[cyan wharf]

just recived a ton of money from a special event and I want to buy a new pc with a $3500 budget. I prefer intel, nivida, and water cooling. Any suggestions?

[lament badge]

no

[wispy veldt]

if u play games get amd

for cpu

[cyan wharf]

Ok

[lusty hinge]

yeah just amd

no specific cpu

doesnt matter if its from 20 years ago

[grave cipher]

yea bro let me set you up with bulldozer

top am3 chips

[lament badge]

Yung skibidi toilet

[pulsar fossil]

[lusty hinge]

probably ally x or the switch depends what youre doing

switch has nintendo titles

[sudden zinc]

APPROVED

[lament badge]

I don't care for Nintendo titles

I'd rather just but a 3ds and play all the older games

maybe I'll buy a steamdeck or rog ally

I considered the msi claw until I saw the cpu

[scarlet kettle]

Nice what specs you running i recently finished my new build

[modern wagon]

anyone got some advice on how best to spec a gaming excusive pc for a £700+-25% (928 usd), building for a friend and its been a while since ive looked at the market

[grave cipher]

Best to go budget lga1700 I.e. B6/760 board with standard generic ddr5 6000 cl30 and maybe a 13400f or 13600k.
You could go am5 but I feel like its still a tad expensive for entry level.

For gpus id Probably go 6750xt/7700xt for amd, nvidia you'd probably want a 3060 or 4070 for intel a b580.

@lusty hinge has to do psus/ssds because she'll kill anyone who recommends trash.

Rest of it is more just cosmetic. cooling isn't really a requirement for the low to mid range

[modern wagon]

I tried to stear clear of 13th gen because of the microcode issues a little while ago, even though they are now resolved its not something i like to tempt fate with. if you recommend it ill take another look and reconsider my stance on it.

[grave cipher]

It Only affected 13/4700ks and 13/4900ks

Those were the only skus with a high enough voltage table to draw enough current to degrade

Which yes also means correctly set power and current limits prevents it out right even without microcode updates

Those limits were set to unlimited by board manufacturers by default and intel kinda just turned a blind eye to it for the last decade. Which is why it even happened to begin with

[modern wagon]

yeah, im aware of the whys hows and whos. its partly why i prefer to undervolt my cpu where i can (also cooling). Ill keep that in mind when buying though. as most likely will try to buy used where I can to help save a buck. thanks.

[lusty hinge]

psu ☺️☺️

[sudden zinc]

bro go with a 13700k the main issue was oxidation not tdp cause you can under volt it and

got myself a mobo for that cpu which was a great deal

one thing not a fan boy of intel but i got a loss of 50 usd on mobo aours elite b550m keep in mind reselling amd is a big loss

while i have a 5600 tray very slightly used that would also go for 70usd i got an offer bought it for 125

[grave cipher]

This is false, oxidation only affected select batches from 2023

The widespread issue was extremely high and unconstrained power draw

Current limiting or undervolting are the 2 most effective counters to it, but stock operation was a toss up of the silicon lottery since it determined the VID table and that directly affected power draw

Until the introduction of intels microcode that enforced the intel documented spec for those those cpus

[lament badge]

boiiii this is so tuff 😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥

[sudden zinc]

yeah

gpu shortage is still going on scalping at top soo expensive 5080 for 1800 usd

[sudden zinc]

broo we had a conversation on ram i bought this 16gb ddr 3600mhz and cl18 argb soo this would work fine with my new cpu 13900k

or 13700k

[grave cipher]

would it work? sure, but performance wise its going to suck big

like I wouldn't be shocked if a 12400F and a basic DDR5 tune would beat it

[sleek token]

get the parts at micro center

[sudden zinc]

nah i checked from chat gpt saying would be good for 2k but i would probli game on 4k soo yeah at 4k the gpu matter 4080s

[sudden zinc]

nice ohh specs 🔥

[lament badge]

its cool sure but that doesnt change the fact it doesnt know anything 👍

[sudden zinc]

Get your self a lian li one

[lusty hinge]

any particular one or just lian li

[sudden zinc]

You could consider asus ones and corsair msi aours

[lusty hinge]

corsair 🤢

[sudden zinc]

Well then you get your self nzxt or arctic liquid freezer 3 or silverstone or id cooling or the
Coolermaster

[sudden zinc]

Hope

[lament badge]

corsair has some alright budget ones, nautilus is nice but all of the other ones are so overpriced it's actually ridiculous

but there's are definitely better budget ones from other brands

[lament badge]

one of these two

[lusty hinge]

hydroshift offers pretty little performance uplift over the warframe

just different fans

proprietary ofc

[lament badge]

alright well i just won't get lian li

it seems like everything they sell is proprietary at this point

Alienware mindset

[sudden zinc]

Well get it

[lament badge]

the thermalright one is good though right

[sudden zinc]

Yeah same looking for a aio would buy asus or lian li

[sudden zinc]

Well the lian li one is best and most powerful luxurious

[lusty hinge]

yeah

[lusty hinge]

why

youre paying just under $100 more for what is basically the exact same thing

only difference is the funky tubing and the proprietary nonsense

[lusty hinge]

corsair, nzxt, lian li.. yeah.
even ASUS is joining in

thanks

[sturdy saddle]

does anyone know a good gpu+cpu combo for competitive gaming?

[lusty hinge]

competitive gaming usually ends up being fortnite or valorant all at the lowest settings

so literally anything

[sturdy saddle]

actually no

stable fps is crucial for competitive gaming

[lusty hinge]

ok so still literally anything

if it was made in the past few years its more than enough

[sturdy saddle]

and im sure not "anything" will be good as even the lowest settings ends up getting low fps for a low end pc {depending on the game]

[sudden zinc]

well

[lusty hinge]

yeah use 20 year old hardware and im sure itll struggle

but you dont need a $500 cpu for a game that already gets hundreds of frames on $100 hardware

theres only one true competitive game anyway just play osu

[sturdy saddle]

i wasnt saying that

[lusty hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/osu-cursor-dance-jolo-gif-18175154

[sudden zinc]

its worth in sense that it gave you more cooling

[sturdy saddle]

i was aking for recomendations

[lusty hinge]

for $100 the cooling difference is incredibly minimal

[sturdy saddle]

how many stars?

[lusty hinge]

depends how much money youve got

[lusty hinge]

no idea not my gif

[sudden zinc]

looks

[lusty hinge]

thats not what you just said

looks is subjective

if $100 more for the different looks is worth it to you then go for it but typically it isnt

[sturdy saddle]

alr i gtg now

good arguement @lusty hinge

[lusty hinge]

no problem hope you come back soon

[sudden zinc]

yoo if you are building pc in white go for white part only if in black then go for black and use and your cooler super over kill for that cpu soo should consider something else

[lusty hinge]

or just go for whatever colour scheme looks cool

[lusty hinge]

you didnt really provide much information so i just went ahead and assumed youre gaming, in which case consider not paying $110 for a 240mm AIO on a 7600X.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lhwxjn
i would probably just go for something like this.
with other case and board options here
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bQGhP6/montech-air-903-max-atx-mid-tower-case-air-903-max-w
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcbRsY/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pro-rs-wifi
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HkTFf7/asrock-b850-pro-rs-atx-am5-motherboard-b850-pro-rs

a lot of what you picked was mostly just overpriced for what it offers
A750GL has a really loud fan, is black, and costs $109, which is $20 more than the one i chose.
SN850X provides no gaming performance uplift over something like the MP44L or the C910, but costs $150.
H5 Flow only comes with 2 pre installed fans which use proprietary connections 😛
Liquid Freezer III 240mm at $120 is ludicrous considering there are better 360mm coolers for cheaper.
the RAM you chose has an identical looking kit but for $20 less
motherboard was just changed for similar priced options with better rear io

[sudden zinc]

yeah

probli

[alpine dawn]

alr tysm

very helpful i didnt realize there were that cheaper options

and i wanna play mostly racing games like f1 25 or assetto corsa do you think these parts will be enough

@lusty hinge

Does it matter which mousepad i buy

I want a big white / gray one that covers my desk but I dont want a horrible one

Getting rid of the "Scary" corsair mousepad

[lusty hinge]

yes but also no

it matters in the sense that not all mouse pads are "good" and will fall apart within a few months
and that mousepads also have different traits, such as being really smooth for glide/speed or other pads are good for control

theres even glass pads but you need to buy pretty expensive ones to get a good one

if you literally do not care about how a mouse pad performs and just want something that looks good then by all means just get the cheapest one that looks cool

me personally i use this https://shop.x-raypad.com/shop/x-raypad-aqua-control-ii-sakura-night-gaming-mouse-pads/ at 900x400mm

i know a lot of people say the https://www.lethalgg.eu/products/saturn-pro-xl is good too but personally i think its too small

artisan pads are generally great

theres this resource https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RAnmZxDNduaGV8kB-GCvZ0MO6d9-0j9jmrU2f8dp0Ww/edit?gid=0#gid=0 made by hoya but

i wouldnt worry about spending too much on a mouse pad tbf. as long as its decent and youre happy with it its fine

fwiw i like my Aqua Control II im considering buying it again but this time in pink/blue

[lament badge]

so many risks with those

I've gotten used to big ones I couldn't switch to a glass one

aren't they really thick too

[lament badge]

I need it ‼️‼️

[lament badge]

Heat goes up - you dont want to fight the current of heat

When you put your fans on the bottom as exhaust you're disrupting the natural flow of heat

[weak fulcrum]

Yooo guys do you need a RGB Hub when building a pc? Cause i didnt buy one and it didnt came with the case….

[earnest lichen]

Not all the time if your parts RGB is compatible with your Motherboard you should be able to manipulate the RGB with that software

Ie I have Tforce ram, and Coolmaster fans that I control with my ASUS software

[earnest lichen]

Not only that but exhaust out the bottom will help pull dust and debris down into the pc

[weak fulcrum]

I have a montech case with 3 fans installed i bought a coolermaster cpu cooler with 3 fans

[earnest lichen]

The case doesn’t matter as much it’s all about if your motherboard is compatible then you will down load their RGB software, like I use ASUS ARUA

[lament badge]

if it didn't come with the case you have like 2 options

if they're daisy chain, link them and plug them into a 3pin ARGB header

if not , then just buy a hub. they're pretty cheap

I bought a 10 slot hub for 8 dollars

[lament badge]

Damn my camera sucks

@lusty hinge Womier are a bunch of liars 😭😭

no wonder why my lights randomly turned off

sk65 things clearly

my sk75 rgb does exactly what i tell it

[lusty hinge]

theyre typically overpriced and they use proprietary parts but whatever

the 3 in 1 fan im not the biggest fan of

if one fan fails the whole thing is useless really but yknow

its cool

[sudden zinc]

my close friend selling a lian li aio 360mm and there is only one fan rgb blinking so i can buy it at good price and change the fan would it be fine

[lament badge]

i wonder if one of the manuals are swapped

[lament badge]

well my rgb works its just that on their manual they have multiple key combos that dont actually do anything

corsair nautilus 360mm
corsair 3500x
and two samsung gen 4 nvme's

so far i have swapped every part except the cpu for testing

[sudden zinc]

yall could be a gpu prob also

[lament badge]

i have tried x2 radeon 7700XT

[sudden zinc]

hmm

you happy with a 7700xt guess i should not buy 4080s

[lament badge]

the card is fine, i highly doubt its a hardware issue with the card considering i have enough wattage and i've tried 2

[sudden zinc]

at the end of the day we have to enjoy game 7700xt could also do that in the range of budget

guys where is lennart

[lament badge]

idk

[grave cipher]

For ref that sounds like gpu core turning off

No image + fan 100%

Could be house electrics

Or if you have like 4 extension cords daisy chained

I'd say try a different room and plug directly into a socket

Ime amd cards really don't like dirty power at all, had a power routing issue where an rx480 would just turn off underload but 3070 just gave some minor artifacting

[sudden zinc]

the goat best and honest youtuber

[grave cipher]

I dunno about that chat

[lusty hinge]

same guy who complained about nvidia doing something that literally everyone does

hes on the better end though

[opaque moon]

did you ever find the fix to it

[lament badge]

if it really is just shutting off, it happens more on apex and minecraft

dont know if that means anything

it rarely happens on roblox or fortnite

it also randomly stops for a random amount of time, i'll be able to play without it shutting off from a week to maybe even a month then the next day it's doing it again

i have swapped parts for testing, everything except the cpu and ram

[lament badge]

i just ran occt full power load + furmark without any crashes or hiccups

[lament badge]

could it be this? i just turned it to off

"moderate power savings"

[near rose]

i dont have a cooler

andd a 3090

[lusty hinge]

has it happened since

[lament badge]

no but ill test it more when I'm home

[ember orbit]

Sorry to chime in, The video you uploaded of the monitors showing no display signal & your fans going 100% has been my issue since Feb, I sent it away & they couldnt find an issue then the issue started happening again so ive scheduled for another pickup. Yesterday was my first day not having a single crash like the video i did 2 things, I switched off my SS GG app & ran a different headset & also took my pc out of the surge protector & ran it straight from the socket. Going 24hrs strong rn hopefully you find a fix or i do maybe this one temporary

[lusty hinge]

freaky stuff

[lament badge]

I'll try it when I'm home

its so odd how I can power / memory test everything to max without crashes but it somehow randomly does it on minecraft of all games

[lusty hinge]

minecrafts just weird tbf

if i play minecraft all of my monitors get set to an incredibly low brightness

and it doesnt go away until i restart my pc

i have no idea why

[lament badge]

alright i've been playing for 6 hours and it hasn't happened yet

not getting my hopes up though considering it's bipolar

[lament badge]

didn't fix it

[grave cipher]

You ever change the outlet lead?

@lament badge

[lament badge]

yea i did

tried 3 different outlets

[lament badge]

now i dont know if any of these are important but it is logging some kernel issues

so does that confirm its a physical issue (like a wire) and not a driver problem?

[lament badge]

should i change any of these in bios

global c state power control - auto
power supply idle control - auto
package power limit - auto
CPPC - auto
CPPC proffered cores - auto
command rate - auto
pcie1 gen switch - auto
chipset gen switch- auto
pcie1 lanes configuration- auto
VGA detection - auto
restore after ac power loss - power off
system power fault protection - disabled
resume by PCIE device - disabled

[lusty hinge]

kernel power is just losing power at a hardware level
i have absolutely no idea about how to go forward with this issue anymore. id try out the r/TechSupport discord server
i cant send the invite link here but the join code is - 2EDwzWa

or try out BAPCs troubleshooting channels

either way youre gonna run into people who spend a large portion of their day troubleshooting tech and are much more likely to find a fix

[lament badge]

thanks I'll join and ask them

[tulip sparrow]

Goodmorning I hope someone from steelseries sees this but I have been using the artic nova 5 wireless headsets for about 3 months now and i have 0 complaints about the headsets itself, absolutely perfect. My only complaint is the 2.4 GHz USBC connection piece that goes into the PC. I wish it was smaller like how you make them for mice and keyboards because due to its width i cant fit it in the back. If you guys were to make a seperate connection piece thats smaller/compact that would awesome. Please lmk if this makes sense.

[lament badge]

do you have the wire that came with it

there's a USB - A to USB - C adapter that came with my nova 5

[tulip sparrow]

damnit i wish i stil had the box its at school, do you have picture please

id also like to slide in, that me and my girlfriend have been using the rival 700 and 710 mice since. I bought both of them in2020 and ive been winning csgo tournaments with it ever since and its wired. I love steelseries you guys are amazing. My whole setup is basically steelseries. Even your mouse pads are awesome

❤️

[lusty hinge]

get a USB extension or a usb adapter

they dont have to be UGREEN but these are just in my purchase history lol

[tulip sparrow]

smart, thankyou

[lusty hinge]

i use a USB extension cable for my microphone

not necessarily because the original USB was too chunky but razer just sucks

but theyre pretty cool. sometimes ill unplug it and use it for other things.

[tulip sparrow]

ty

[sudden zinc]

Bro that razer they ban me from their discord server cause i said fix my prob with my razer mice and they said wait and then ban me

[lament badge]

it will match the color of your headset

you plug the 2.4ghz thing into the port on the right and then just plug it into your case or much preferred motherboard USB A

[misty kelp]

what do you think of using a rtx 5060 ti for a 1440p setup

[grave cipher]

Bit weak spec wise

[misty kelp]

I found a discounted one and it seemed well priced

I think it cost me 440 dollars

[grave cipher]

Yea but lack of Vram is a big issue

Has been since 2020 really

[misty kelp]

It has 16 gigs so I should be fine for a little while

[grave cipher]

fairs

but then I would of gone for a 9070XT

due to it being fairly competent

[misty kelp]

I was trying to keep within a 1400 dollar budget

For the entire pc

[lethal elm]

Respasted my cpu and tried to boot it and noe the dram light is on on my mobo. I have tried reseating it but itd still like that. Any ideas?

[lethal elm]

crisis solved, some dust got into the slots and it worked once i used a brush on them

[lament badge]

should I be concerned

[lament badge]

why is my computer beeping when it shuts down

[dry briar]

probably indicates a hardware problem

[lament badge]

i think its ram parity or smth

ts pc is devious

[sudden zinc]

Y ou should just swap out the cpu

[sudden zinc]

Fr that pins get bend or break easily soo yeah you should be carefull and plus it isnt a lga cpu soo be extra care full you should not screw it up

[sudden zinc]

Yeah its a ram issue or a psu

[lament badge]

the pins aren't bent there's just a little thermal paste

and i already cleaned it off

[sudden zinc]

Yeah well

Just swap out the ram you will be good to go

16gb cl16 ddr4

Or 32

[lament badge]

its not the ram

its probably the IMC

but I don't know for sure

if my cpu is actually cooked then I might aswell just switch to am5

if you got mobo suggestions lmk , needs to be white

[sudden zinc]

B650 asus tuf

Plus wifi

Or x670 asus tuf

With 7800x3d

X670 aours master

Or try b850

[lusty hinge]

literally any white am5 board works btw

unless youre getting a 7950x/9950x

[spring lynx]

Hey so uh, I’m looking to upgrade my cpu, anyone got some tips on what to look for? I can send specs of my pc rn if needed.

[grave cipher]

Tbh stock should be fine even on dodgy bX50s

[grave cipher]

Just need the current board

[spring lynx]

So it’s a ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six core processor (there’s some other stuff on the processor if you need it)

[grave cipher]

Just go the generic EOL platform CPU the 5800x3d

All it needs beforehand is a bios update

[lament badge]

aorus

[lament badge]

i dont like it

[sudden zinc]

ok

[robust cargo]

I do gaming and do video editing, but not crazy professional video editing. Should I get the ryzen 9 7950x or the ryzen 9 7900x?

[lusty hinge]

works. is totally fine. might be cheaper on other sites but amazon next day is cool. enjoy

[lament badge]

I am gonna buy 7800x3d

[sudden zinc]

just had a deal of 13700k

13700k >7800x3d 2k

should i buy it i mean selling for 240 dollar slightly used

[lament badge]

I'm not buying intel

[lusty hinge]

sure. do you how the previous owner used it? are they selling it because they completely cooked it by running it without updating their BIOS to one of the later microcode patches?

[lusty hinge]

probably neither

but if it must be one of those 2 youd probably want to go for the 7950x. its just faster.
altho youll need a decent board

and a decent cooler

[sudden zinc]

No its from a good shop keeper and plus they are giving warranty too

[lusty hinge]

sure why not then

[lament badge]

send a screenshot

[sudden zinc]

What

I live dubai

Uae

Guys I think I should buy one and then sell mg combo 13700k plus h670 asus tuf and 16gb 3600 mhz cl 16 ram 256 gb nvme
