#

the cpu cooler on the cpu is better than that xD

#

the 2700x cooler is actualy pretty good

latent slate
#

oh real shit

#

nice

novel nova
#

yes

latent slate
#

yeeted out of there

novel nova
#

you can use the money that u saved on a better motherboard

#

XD

latent slate
#

gotcha

chilly edge
#

yeah

novel nova
#

use a x470 and not a b350, its from the new generation and its way more stabel

chilly edge
#

the money could really help for a x470

latent slate
#

got it

novel nova
#

also carefull if the rams are compatible

latent slate
#

yeah I'll do more research

novel nova
#

and imo the PSU could be a 650, just in case

#

the rest is good!

latent slate
#

yeah

chilly edge
#

the ryzen 5s are there due to the insane price on intel rn

novel nova
#

in sumary:

  • remove the cpu cooler, the one with the 2700x is pretty good.
  • with the money saved, buy a better motherboard
latent slate
#

yee

novel nova
#

and check the memory compatibity

latent slate
#

I already yeeted the 1080yi

#

*ti

novel nova
#

wait the ti?

#

but it wasnt the ti version. o-o

latent slate
#

ye

chilly edge
#

Ti is kinda overkill

latent slate
#

I dropped the ti to cut the price

novel nova
#

it was a 1080 only

#

okok

latent slate
#

because yeah its kinda overkill

novel nova
#

it depends, if the plays in 1080p yep, it is

#

unless he wants 240hz

#

:3

latent slate
#

144 hz at 1080p probably

novel nova
#

yeh thats overkill xd

latent slate
#

so just the 1080 ,is good

novel nova
#

a 1080 is very capable for the job

#

i've a friend that recently got a 1070ti

#

everything on ultra has an average of 120 fps

#

1080p

latent slate
#

so a 1080 will do the job

novel nova
#

so yeah, the 1080 will give you the extra 24fps :3

#

yes

latent slate
#

and I have a 1080 rn in a pre-built that I want to sell

#

because buyers remorse

#

I dont like the feeling of not building it myself

novel nova
#

Ah, I see you're a PC builder of culture as well

#

i upgraded my pc this summer, and it was very pleasing

#

cof cof except the gpu

latent slate
#

rip

tepid edge
#

I want to build a PC tho

#

But i don't want it just for gaming, actually I want to game/work

#

3d modelling, Photoshop, video rendering

#

So... I think a Ryzen 2600 and Rx 570 will be pretty good

latent slate
#

good choices

tepid edge
#

But, do I change the Rx 570 for a GTX 1060 3gb?

#

Cause it's better at games

#

But I don't know if it's actually better than the 570 in workstation stuff

median kindle
#

I'd choose RX 570 just because I like AMD more :v

#

bur srsly If the RX has 8gb then I'd go for it

hoary bay
#

570

median kindle
#

but if you're aiming for 4gb do more research, because I guess they are very close in performance

hoary bay
#

not just cos I'm an AMD fanby, but also, the driver set up is SO much better right now

latent slate
#

Yeah I'm starting to look for more AMD parts because Nvidia is jacking prices up

hoary bay
#

yup

noble oak
#

Your buying the card for about 210 and the PSU for the other 50 or so

#

it's pretty cool

azure wigeon
#

nvidia has always had a price premium but you get a better eco system and premium performance out of it

#

you aren't just paying through the teeth for better performance, you're paying through the teeth for drivers, geforce experience extras , ansel, shadow play, and the fact that more games are optomized for nvidia than they are AMD

noble oak
#

^

#

AMD have good GPUs, but if your going to go hard at gaming all the time i recommend a GTX card over a AMD/Vulcan card

azure wigeon
#

it's an eco system thing

#

same as for the pro cards

noble oak
#

yep

azure wigeon
#

AMD is just fine for a compute GPU

#

but quadros are better for stuff like CAD/CAM because of drivers and optimizations

noble oak
#

agreed

azure wigeon
#

you really need to look at the specific software you want to use

main fog
#

Why would you ever need the RTX 2080, if you have the GT 820M?

urban hound
#

why not GT 610?

main fog
#

That could work

bright totem
#

look at the note xD

tropic hollow
#

hahahah

#

nice!

#

I think imgur is allowed

#

if yall neeed to post pics, try uploading them onto imgur :)

bright totem
#

ok boss

tiny sphinx
#

There's my setup right now

tropic hollow
#

Nice!

#

That's a solid setup bro, insane!

chilly edge
#

My setup is modest I'll say

#

Not the lowest low but not too amazing either

inner ferry
#

there's a deal RX480 or 580 i dont remember for $180 + assassins creed odyssey and 2 more games

pulsar fossil
#

Sweet setup :D

#

I need to finish my setup soon. Still need to replace some fans with RGB fans and some light strips.. #AllTheRGB

#

It's going to be super silly but I like it

tiny sphinx
#

Cheers

#

Sorry was playing CS

pulsar fossil
#

R7 1800X, 32GB RGB RAM, GTX 1080ti (with RGB)

tiny sphinx
#

Lemme think: 1080Ti, 7700k, 16GB 3600MHz TridentZ RGB

pulsar fossil
#

Nice

pulsar fossil
#

I'm in a serious need for a screen upgrade. 1080p 120hz

#

Benq

tiny sphinx
#

Rival 600 & QcK+ Howl edition

#

Used to have the Siberia Elite Prism's, then the Sibera 650's

#

And then went separate headset/mic

pulsar fossil
#

Which case is that?

tiny sphinx
#

NZXT S340 (in white)

chilly edge
#

My modest setup

pulsar fossil
#

@tiny sphinx sweet! I just built two servers in that case. It's fairly cheap and good quality

#

@chilly edge looks good :)

tiny sphinx
#

two separate machines? Or one host

pulsar fossil
#

Two separate machines

#

One to broadcast the signal for our tv channel, one as a backup

tropic hollow
#

Insane case!

inner ferry
#

i need a new monitor mouse headset keyboard

#

any recommendations?

#

im on a tight budget :C

tropic hollow
#

How tight?

inner ferry
#

i'll get ~100e on birthday (3rd november)

#

and i'll save up form school

#

~50 or 100 more

#

and i'll ask my parent

#

x

#

d

tropic hollow
#

so lets say 250 total?

inner ferry
#

ya

tropic hollow
#

Alright

#

monitor might be a bit difficult

#

maybe save that for another time?

inner ferry
#

i'm using a 19' tv atm

#

it's 720p but using hdmi it's auto set for 1080p

#

and if i change resolution ingame or on desktop anything below 1080p it loses signal

#

sure

#

it'll hold

tropic hollow
#

Ah

#

Okay - so

#

You can get an arctis 3 for 100

#

Apex 150 for 70

inner ferry
#
#

exactly 100

tropic hollow
#

Rival 310 for 50

#

Yeah

#

so that brings it to 220

inner ferry
#

rival 310 is 80 here

tropic hollow
#

Ah

#

okay

#

so 250

#

take 15 percent off it bc student discount

inner ferry
#

we dont have that here XD

#

no discounts

inner ferry
#

o

tropic hollow
#

yeah

#

so

inner ferry
tropic hollow
#

oh gg

#

okay

#

so yeah, $250

#

for the headset, mouse, keyboard

inner ferry
#

alright thanks man

tropic hollow
#

np

inner ferry
#

im often talking on discord with teammates while playing csgo/ow/lol, the site doesn't mention, does the arctis 3 have a mic and is there a quality test?

tropic hollow
#

it has a mic, yes.

inner ferry
#

saw a review

#

damn it's good

tropic hollow
#

Yup

inner ferry
#

what is different between the 2019 edition tho?

tropic hollow
chilly edge
#

uhh there was a blog about it

ebon ember
#

wait what

#

steelseries has student discount

#

WTF

inner ferry
#

doesnt work in my country

#

:c

tropic hollow
#

Yup! @ebon ember

#

15% :)

chilly edge
#

student discount + discount code when something is on sale ๐Ÿค”

golden monolith
#

Any1 gon' get the 2080? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tropic hollow
#

absolutely not

#

i'd just buy a new pc with that money

golden monolith
#

A lot of bucks down the well if u ask me ๐Ÿ˜„ U can buy the 1080 for lower prize lol

tropic hollow
#

yup

hoary bay
#

ray tracing isn't worth it right now

#

without the ray tracing, the cards not that much of a leap

full kernel
#

follow my twitch if you guys would like ! @full kernel

mighty shoal
#

u gud dog

bright totem
#

Price...
Rtx2080ti = good used car; new pc even with gtx 1080; 1337 snickers bars and some milk xD

chilly edge
#

yeah the RTX card prices are nuts, especially with the lower leap in performance compared to last gen.

tropic hollow
#

yup

bright totem
#

I'd still prefer those snickers xD

#

for the rtx price

chilly edge
#

i'd buy PC upgrades for the RTX price

bright totem
#

tbh me too

#

or even a new one

chilly edge
#

it's like ยฃ1200 - ยฃ1500 for a 2080Ti

#

with that i could buy an 8700k/2700X, a Z370/X470 motherboard, and at least 16gbs of ram

#

with a new case, an AIO or beefy air cooler

#

and case fans

bright totem
#

for me it would be i7 7700 16 gb of ram, gtx 1070, new case, some ssd disks, some ss peripherials

#

and some games ofc

chilly edge
#

ok so this is what I can get with ยฃ1200-ยฃ1300
Ryzen 7 2700x/ i7 8700k
16GB 3200MHz Gskill trident Z (non RGB B/W)
ASUS PRIME x470 PRO/ ASUS PRIME Z370-A
BeQuiet Dark rock Pro 4 cooler
NZXT H500/ Corsair 275r
Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum PSU
MSI DUKE 1070Ti
And some white LED case fans

#

though I should probably just go for like 750W 80+ gold PSU and upgrade the motherboard

bright totem
#

for me kinda same, but I don't need that much power.
Just i7 6700k/Ryzen 5 1600x
and gtx 1070 would be very good

#

even i5 8400 would be ok

chilly edge
#

yeah, I really don't need that much power

#

i'd upgrade the processor and ram (which means new motherboard) without a doubt

#

but graphics card and power supply can wait

inner ferry
#

isn't i5 8400 =7700 in terms of performance?

bright totem
#

i dont know

#

maybe it is?

chilly edge
#

8400 is better than 7700

latent slate
#

What color scheme should I do?

#

Black, White, Black+White, Black+red, etc?

#

I wan to do like an all black build with a lot of hidden rgb so that when I turn it on it just lights up and looks pretty

bright totem
#

for me black-white is the best combo

#

black-red is overused

latent slate
#

def

latent slate
#

Excuse my absolutely horrendous cable management

harsh sparrow
#

Ya a Leyouyou rest would fit nicely

latent slate
#

gotcha

#

And I will manage my cables once I get a better desk

harsh sparrow
#

You ever think of getting a compact keyboard? Do you use the number keys?

#

SS has a compact M750 TKL. Saves so much space!

latent slate
#

I'll check it out

harsh sparrow
latent slate
#

Oh nice it even includes a cleaning kit

harsh sparrow
#

And the lights can be programmed to show animated GIFs Kreygasm

harsh sparrow
#

you BETCHA

latent slate
#

just hit that "Add to parts list' button on my dream rig build

harsh sparrow
#

Good luck with the build

latent slate
#

yeah I'll link it here once the list is complete

harsh sparrow
#

Sounds good. Tag me when you do and I'll peep it

latent slate
#

the rival 600 looks pretty good, and okay

harsh sparrow
#

It's got a wireless version of you like wireless as well.

latent slate
#

neat

#

(I'm going for an all-black build with rgb accents so I can change the color scheme at will)

chilly edge
#

Why the corsair VOID PRO

latent slate
#

I really liked the feel of it

chilly edge
#

Fair enough

latent slate
#

my old one however had an issue with the wire which killed it

#

one sec

chilly edge
#

I should probably make like a dream build probably

latent slate
#

And it got so bad that the headset stopped working

#

So I'm getting the wireless version

harsh sparrow
#

@latent slate Nice build! Don't forget your CPU cooling

latent slate
#

I've heard the stock cooler is really nice on that one actually

#

But I might grab and AIO

#

*an

stable talon
#

1080s are like $330-360 used

I think this is what i'd need for my "ultimate" gaming pc or soemthing

I've got an idea. Make an agreement with your mom and cousin that if they break something, they have to give money back for new thing or give you new item.

i am confused

austere parrot
#

Im telling you unplug the pc. and blame ur cousins for "breaking" it. you can use that to keep ur cousins off it

#

as for getting the replacements buy some cheap/used peripherals for the time being if ur tight on cash

inner ferry
#

im OUT of cash xd

#

1.5e daily for school

#

and i only work in summer

#

gotta look for old broken keyboards for them to play with

#

about new one - birthday if i get enuf

hoary bay

Shin's got teh right idea

latent slate

ill do it tommorow after school

tropic hollow
#

Do you have an old laptop?

inner ferry
#

no

#

i had one but i broke it myself XD

#

i take the blame there

bright totem
#

You can also try talking serious with your uncle about it, but im assuming you already tried.

tropic hollow
#

So your cousins broke your peripherals?

inner ferry
#

i did

#

@tropic hollow you know about the headset, now the keyboard's chattering and my mouse's cable is

Guys, any first-hand opinions on watercooling (AIO)? Planning to build my first PC and want it to look good but also to be quiet enough. The main question here is pump sound - some people think it is more obstructive than fan noise.
What do you think?
I am a little bit afraid of leaks too but I understand they are extremely rare on good AIOs - and I am going to choose Corsair or NZXT cooler since they have better warranty.

dark sand
#

I had at first a corsair one which was very loud. The cooler master ml240 that i use now is very silent

chilly edge
#

If I remember correctly:
AIOs can cool better (water has a higher heat capacity than water). AIOs take longer to absorb and dissipate heat.

dark sand
#

like every other watercooler

pine copper
#

also a so-so part about AIOs is that most reviewers test them for 15-30 minutes and it usually takes a couple of hours for the AIO to warm up liquid inside (after what cooling performance may decrease)

#

@dark sand which Corsair AIO did you have before? I thought they are higher tier than CM's, especially ML240L

dark sand

i had a corsair h60 before

#

@pulsar fossil name of that mixer?

#

Ooh BTW this is my PC

#

and my studio

#

Waiting for pics to upload from my cell phone xD

#

Got a temporary cooler and GPU. I was waiting for the NVidia rtx to come up but meanwhile decided to go for an Amd GPU cuz of my freesync monitor. So hope those rumors on the rx 590 are true and I will buy one. Also will switch the air cooler for a Ekwb loop

#

aaaand that's my stuff ๐Ÿ˜„

#

also I am using a mini ITX build for a second encoding PC

#

ok Specs: (Gaming PC
Intel i7 8700k Processor
GSkill Tridentz RGB 3000 CL14 Memory
Samsung 970 Evo SSD (will put a second HDD when I get home from my work wich is 2 countries away)
Cryorig H7 Cooler
A bunch of vardar fans from EKWB (4 total)
A bunch of Phanteks Halos RGB Fan kits and Phateks RGB Starter kit
Inwin 805c Black case
MSI z370 Gaming Pro Carbon
Seasonic Focus Platinum 850W PSU
MSI Radeon RX 560 aero itx (temporary solution because I was waiting for the release of the Nvidia RTX cards wich I won't buy because is a new technology.... like a 1st generaton of a new tech)

#

now for my encoding PC:

#

Specs:
Asrock AB350 gaminx itx ac
Ryzen 5 2400G Processor
Cryoric c1 Cooler
inwin Chopin Case
Gskill TridentZ (non-RGB) 3200 cl15 Memory
256 GB Samsun 970 Evo

#

so what u guys think of my gaming PC and in case of the GPU sould I wait for the rx 590?

#

ooor

#

I mean

#

u think EKWB will release a waer block for the rx590?

lol

tiny sphinx
#

But it's working?

inner ferry
#

yes

#

now it is

#

i got so spooked when it restarted lol

tiny sphinx
#

My opinion:

#

As it was auto-overclocking, it kept ramping up the MHz on the GPU, and increased the power overhead.

I think you hit the max power from your PSU, which caused it to drop

#

At least that's what I'm thinking

#

But that's stock right now

#

At 1354MHz

it reaches 1984 when playing pubg

Hey guys b&h has a GeForce 1070ti on sale for 350$ usd. Do you guys think itโ€™ll be cheaper during Black Friday? Should I wait until then to get one?

tropic hollow

I think you should wait @craggy jungle

dry hornet
#

guys should i buy a gtx 980 or a 1060 ti?

chilly edge
#

980 will perform better
1060 "Ti" will have better memory bandwidth and will be more power efficient

tiny sphinx
#

1060ti doesn't exist

#

If you're talking about a 1060 6GB

#

Then I would go for that over the 980

#

To be honest

#

For black friday

#

Expect a lot of the 10-series GPU's to drop in price

chilly edge
#

the 1060 "Ti" is a 1060 that'll have GDDR5X memory

tiny sphinx

Yeah but a 1060Ti doesn't exist?

There's the 1060 3GB and 6GB

Hey guys! I gotta question! Currently I have a...

AMD FX-8300
GTX1080TI
1TB HDD
16GB DDR3 RAM
(I think 650 watt power supply? Cant remember)

I want to upgrade my cpu, im not for sure if I should buy an AMD FX-9590, or buy a Intel i7 8700k, +new motherboard +new ram(ddr4 prolly 16gb+)

is it worth the investment to swap my whole pc to ddr4 with i7-8700k? Or should i just buy the FX-9590 and a 1TB SSD?

#

(I play lots of bigger story games like dying light, tomb raider series, wolfenstein, etc.)

chilly edge
#

For performance definitely go for the 8700k

#

or AMD Ryzen

#

You're probably fine for a while if you go for an i5-8600k

fiery monolith
#

Currently my motherboard socket it AM3 and AM3+, so if i move to ddr4 im thinkin it might be pricey, but im not for sure if a fx9590+1080ti+16gb of ram is sufficient for what i want

chilly edge
#

Let me sell you on buying an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or so.
-great value
-good memory support (2933mhz listed)
-good core + thread count
-amd are releasing zen2 in the coming year which will have an even higher core count and processing power but will remain on the AM4 chipset so you won't have to buy a new motherboard

noble oak
#

@fiery monolith bro intel is better than amd and with nvidia gtx there is more feeling

#

guys what gaming headset you recommend (both wireless and wired) with a maximum budget of 180 euro or dollars

chilly edge
#

I think senheiser game one

noble oak
#

of steelseries??

fiery monolith
#

I own the arctis 7, they ran me just over $150 USD. I have no complaints so far @noble oak

noble oak
#

@fiery monolith and battery?

tropic hollow
#

:)

noble oak
#

guys battery of ths product is good??

tropic hollow
#

I mean

#

it's not wireless...

chilly edge
#

I was going to say there are only like 10 headsets from steelseries

fiery monolith
#

My motherboard is AM3 & AM3+ so youre reccomending getting an AM4 motherboard with a Ryzen, and new DDR4 RAM? Instead of an Intel I7 8700k? @chilly edge

noble oak
#

@tropic hollow is lossless

#

I think...

tropic hollow
#

?

fiery monolith
#

@noble oak I plau for about 5-7 hours a day. 1 full charge lasts me about a week

noble oak
#

@fiery monolith k ty

tropic hollow
#

there's your answer

#

:)

noble oak
#

yes

#

my English is shit

chilly edge
#

Yes, no need to go overkill on a processor and AMD will release a new generation of processors on am4

fiery monolith
#

Gotcha <3

chilly edge
#

A Ryzen 3 2200g has more processing power than the fx

fiery monolith
#

Also @noble oak I can walk across my house, and still hear my audio from my pc just fine. So i can listen to music, and make a sandwhich :)

chilly edge
#

Damn that sounds good

fiery monolith
#

I just have FX cause there was a realllllly good prebuilt deal on it

#

And yuh, not heavy on my head at all btw. The only thing I would change is the UI on their app, but its not THAT bad

noble oak
#

@fiery monolith for me intel with gtx are best couple

#

for me

fiery monolith
#

My prob is that an i7 8700k is really pricey, but i can save. But i was just seein if its worth THAT MUCH of an investment, ya know?

noble oak
#

then you have to see also what you play and with which processor you personally find yourself better

fiery monolith
#

Ive never owned a intel processor :p

chilly edge
#

No need for Intel right now

noble oak
#

@fiery monolith yes ik but Is good processor

chilly edge
#

Not worth it rn though

fiery monolith
#

So you say buy an AM4 motherboard+cpu? @chilly edge (if so, any recs on motherboards?)

noble oak
#

cheesy how much can you spend?

chilly edge
#

Don't have many recommendations, find a mobo that suits your needs

#

Like 4 DIMM slots is normally a must

fiery monolith
#

Uh i meah. Im 17 years old ๐Ÿ˜‚ i make just about $400 every other week

800 per month

fiery monolith
#

I have lots of time to save. Its not like my pc died, just wanna upgrade

#

Tru. Its cause I work for $8.75 an hour rn

noble oak
#

@fiery monolith FOR ME intel is better than amd

#

is good uprgrade

fiery monolith
#

And I get about 25-30 hours a week. After taxes its just under $400

chilly edge
#

AMD is more exciting

noble oak
#

if u wanna do a good update intel is good

fiery monolith
#

Ik AMD is typically better for overclocks

noble oak
#

for gaming is better intel but for photoshop or sony vegas for work AMD is better than intel

chilly edge
#

Yes it's not as optimised, but b350/b450 allows higher memory speeds and some overclpcks

#

Not as optimised for gaming

fiery monolith
#

Gotcha. How hot you think a ryzen will get over a fx 8300? Cause I only have 2 case fans, one on top. And one exhaust fan

#

(Ofc my 1080ti has 3 fans and I use a cpu mounted fan)

chilly edge
#

Fx 8300 Vs Ryzen 3 2200G

#

The cheapest Zen+ (2000 series) Ryzen chip

ashen marsh
#

Y'all is this a good PC it's my first PC ever and I have most of the parts I just don't know if it's any good

chilly edge

A. Get the rival710 instead, it has an updated sensor
B. It's probably better to get a Corsair H100i / Coolermaster MasterLiquid 240L RGB instead of the ROG Ryuo

dreamy spoke
#

@ashen marsh what's the pc for?

#

Gaming, streaming or both?

chilly edge
#

Well, it will handle both gaming and streaming exceptionally well, in addition to handling workloads well

ashen marsh

Both

#

What's a rival 710 what is it

chilly edge
#

It's the Rival 700 but with a better sensor

ashen marsh
#

Ooh lol I have that set up on the website but for easy management I had the 700 posted

#

And the cooler is it good? Also would I need more fans or what?

Corsair H100i or CoolerMaster ML 240L RGB would be more reliable

What's wrong with Intel I've heard great reviews @gilded lodge

gilded lodge
#

They are monopolists, too expensive. It is much more profitable to take AMD.

chilly edge
#

ok
A. Intel prices are bonkers right now due to a shortage
B. AMD are going to jump to 7nm, intel is stuck on 14. The 7nm Zen2 Architecture will have higher core counts and will remain on the AM4 platform for easier upgradability

ashen marsh

Ahh yeah when I started putting all the parts for the pc on the website that Intel and my 1080 graphics card cost the most

chilly edge
#

Intel is better for high end performance. But it may not be the case for long

#

if you want newer gen intel you have to bvuy a new motherboard too

ashen marsh
#

Yea

radiant fable
#

idk everyone says that ryzen is better in all scenarios

but i go with intel

chilly edge

Intel is better optimised for games

Ryzen is better value, and the motherboards are forwards/backwards compatible with eachother

Basically you plug the cables into the power supply

the cables come separate

ashen marsh
#

Ah

latent slate
#

I will die with with an amd processer

ashen marsh
#

So i have a big question, Ik more or less how to build a pc but to install the drivers and oc my shit how do I accomplish that?

chilly edge
#

To overclock your CPU
Intel - Go into BIOS, every bios is different but you should be able to navigate to a section where you can set the "CPU Core ratio" and "CPU Voltage" higher.
AMD - You can do the same or use the AMD Master utility software

To Overclock your GPU
Download a program like "ASUS GPU Tweak II" or MSI Afterburner, you can increase the clock speed, the memory clock, power and temperature target, fan speed and more. The programs are simple enough to use.

Drivers
Go to the hardware manufacturer's website, go to drivers, find your product and download the driver. If you're on an NVIDIA card you can download drivers more easily through NVIDIA GeForce Experience

ashen marsh
#

Ahh

radiant fable
#

@ashen marsh techsource has a very good video about overclocking and pc building

I'm able to get a good pc without compromising vanity riseup

fiery monolith

Black RAM with white LED's would look sick in the dark(as long as your PC is all white)

#

(Or the color scheme is at least)

chilly edge

it's a Black/white colour scheme

#

Case is white with some black trimmings, like case feet, PCI-E brackets etc. Motherboard is black with a more muted white and my graphics card is Grey/white

fiery monolith

I think it would look amazing with the white leds

chilly edge

So do I actually

#

it's also cheaper, G.Skill Trident Z Black/white is hard to get here

fiery monolith
#

Yeah, do you have any other white led or rgb things in your PC?

chilly edge
#

Well, my GPU has a white LED to show it's getting power

but other than that, no RGB or LED

ashen marsh

How good are the steel series mouse pads? Do they move on smooth surfaces like wood? Smooth tracking? Do they last awhile?(no thread ripping or anything?)

I've experienced a bit of degradation of the bottom left corner of both my qck mousepads but it doesnt affect anything, glides smooth, good tracking. Moves a tiny bit sometimes.

#

@fiery monolith i tried a normal SS mousepad and currently I have the DeX version. I have a wood desk (real wood). When I play with the mousepad well on the desk it do not move at all. When I put it close to the edge (to play with only the hand on the desk), the normal one was slipping during intense gaming. The DeX slip less in that situation.

#

Both ensure good tracking. Glide is much better on the DeX.

Can anyone compare the rival 600 to the glaive for me

fiery monolith
#

@sturdy basin both are realllly good mice, it just depends on if you really care about the changable grip on the glaive mouse. They are almost the same imo. I would just go for the one that you have the most of. (EX.) Get rival 600 if you have more steel series rgb products. (EX.) Get glaive if you have more corsair rgb products. (Thats how I would go for what one)

EhrgeizTV, I'm not gonna mention you again, cause you are only gonna see this if you care that way, but I did check benchmarks just to be sure, and even at stock everything, the 9700k performs equal or better the the 8700k, multi core and single core, because what multithreading is, is it divides your pc cores in half, so there is less waiting around because they can distribute better to finish things in a more timely matter, but when they split in half, it's splitting the power in half too, so it does have net performance gains, but not as much as actually having more cores. 6 cores 12 threads might be the equivalent of 7 cores 7 threads, but definitely not as good as actually having more cores. It does depend a lot how much hyperthreading will even help, but based on the benchmarks it's no better than just having 8 cores instead. Anyways, the 9700k is much cooler, not much more expensive, and a higher boost clock.

Welp I understood none of that

Lol

fiery monolith
#

im not for sure what one I should get??

#

(Top Link) - Corsair Hydro H150i

(Bottom Link)- NZXT Kraken X72

#

Any one know what one is better?

chilly edge
#

you can probably find a video on it

fiery monolith
#

From my understanding (watching this video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJejyyVPNe4

It sounds like I should just go with the one thats the least expensive?? I will probably go with the Corsair H150i Only because I have Corsair Vengeance RAM. Gotta rep that 1 company ๐Ÿ˜ค

Our NZXT Kraken X72 cooler review looks at temperature performance vs. the H150i Pro, X62, EVGA CLC 280, and other 360mm liquid coolers. Ad: Thermaltake View...
