yes
yeeted out of there
gotcha
yeah
use a x470 and not a b350, its from the new generation and its way more stabel
the money could really help for a x470
got it
also carefull if the rams are compatible
yeah I'll do more research
yeah
the stuff on my favourites list is stuff i'm keeping an eye on for my build. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Pachimaniac/favorites/
the ryzen 5s are there due to the insane price on intel rn
in sumary:
- remove the cpu cooler, the one with the 2700x is pretty good.
- with the money saved, buy a better motherboard
yee
and check the memory compatibity
ye
Ti is kinda overkill
I dropped the ti to cut the price
because yeah its kinda overkill
144 hz at 1080p probably
yeh thats overkill xd
so just the 1080 ,is good
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
so a 1080 will do the job
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
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
rip
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
good choices
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
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
570
but if you're aiming for 4gb do more research, because I guess they are very close in performance
not just cos I'm an AMD fanby, but also, the driver set up is SO much better right now
Yeah I'm starting to look for more AMD parts because Nvidia is jacking prices up
yup
there is a deal for a GTX 1060 6GB that comes with a free 600W PSU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487261&cm_re=gtx_1060-_-14-487-261-_-Product
Your buying the card for about 210 and the PSU for the other 50 or so
it's pretty cool
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
^
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
yep
AMD is just fine for a compute GPU
but quadros are better for stuff like CAD/CAM because of drivers and optimizations
agreed
you really need to look at the specific software you want to use
Why would you ever need the RTX 2080, if you have the GT 820M?
why not GT 610?
That could work
@tropic hollow I cannot post photos in general so I will post it here, hope you don't mind...
look at the note xD
hahahah
nice!
I think imgur is allowed
if yall neeed to post pics, try uploading them onto imgur :)
ok boss
there's a deal RX480 or 580 i dont remember for $180 + assassins creed odyssey and 2 more games
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
R7 1800X, 32GB RGB RAM, GTX 1080ti (with RGB)
Lemme think: 1080Ti, 7700k, 16GB 3600MHz TridentZ RGB
Nice
Predator X34A monitor (3440x1440 120Hz)
Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's
Ducky One TKL RGB
Rival 600 & QcK+ Howl edition
Used to have the Siberia Elite Prism's, then the Sibera 650's
And then went separate headset/mic
Which case is that?
@tiny sphinx sweet! I just built two servers in that case. It's fairly cheap and good quality
@chilly edge looks good :)
two separate machines? Or one host
Two separate machines
One to broadcast the signal for our tv channel, one as a backup
Insane case!
i need a new monitor mouse headset keyboard
any recommendations?
im on a tight budget :C
How tight?
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
so lets say 250 total?
ya
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
exactly 100
rival 310 is 80 here
o
alright thanks man
np
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?
it has a mic, yes.
Yup
what is different between the 2019 edition tho?
I'm not sure! Ask https://support.steelseries.com :)
uhh there was a blog about it
student discount + discount code when something is on sale ๐ค
Any1 gon' get the 2080? ๐
A lot of bucks down the well if u ask me ๐ U can buy the 1080 for lower prize lol
yup
ray tracing isn't worth it right now
without the ray tracing, the cards not that much of a leap
follow my twitch if you guys would like ! @full kernel
u gud dog
Price...
Rtx2080ti = good used car; new pc even with gtx 1080; 1337 snickers bars and some milk xD
yeah the RTX card prices are nuts, especially with the lower leap in performance compared to last gen.
yup
i'd buy PC upgrades for the RTX price
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
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
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
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
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
isn't i5 8400 =7700 in terms of performance?
8400 is better than 7700
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
def
Ya a Leyouyou rest would fit nicely
You ever think of getting a compact keyboard? Do you use the number keys?
SS has a compact M750 TKL. Saves so much space!
I'll check it out
Oh nice it even includes a cleaning kit
And the lights can be programmed to show animated GIFs 
N I C E
you BETCHA
just hit that "Add to parts list' button on my dream rig build
Good luck with the build
yeah I'll link it here once the list is complete
Sounds good. Tag me when you do and I'll peep it
the rival 600 looks pretty good, and okay
It's got a wireless version of you like wireless as well.
neat
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vladimoosh/saved/t8dJ8d @harsh sparrow
(I'm going for an all-black build with rgb accents so I can change the color scheme at will)
Why the corsair VOID PRO
I really liked the feel of it
Fair enough
I should probably make like a dream build probably
The wire did this
And it got so bad that the headset stopped working
So I'm getting the wireless version
@latent slate Nice build! Don't forget your CPU cooling
I've heard the stock cooler is really nice on that one actually
But I might grab and AIO
*an
1080s are like $330-360 used
I think this is what i'd need for my "ultimate" gaming pc or soemthing
Just something that'd serve me well, last a long time and look nice whilst doing it
how to get rid of cousins
Kill'em
Establish dominance and authority
how did tjat happen
Friction I'd say
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.
So i dont know.
my uncle will never give me money or huy me anything
his kids are like him
and my aumt is afraid of him and womt get anything
my momworks minimum wage and when i ask her to buy me anything it's the i dont have money always
this is turning into ranting so i'lls top xd
Dang...
i'll need to make my money and buy another headset, a keyboard to swap out and a main keyboard
need birthday to make me money
you UK based?
macedonia
ok, dunno what the bargain tech shop there is, but off ya go
i am confused
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
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
Shin's got teh right idea
ye
ill do it tommorow after school
im on my pc atm
if i unplug it now she's gonna know
Do you have an old laptop?
You can also try talking serious with your uncle about it, but im assuming you already tried.
So your cousins broke your peripherals?
i did
@tropic hollow you know about the headset, now the keyboard's chattering and my mouse's cable is
i dont know the word xd
there's an image above
yupo
i argued with ehr yesterday
about this
and she told them to sleep here
and now im more in danger
Dang...
Set password on your computer
it's my father's account
on the pc
can't change it it goes to his phone
and he's a truck driver not home atm
used to do that with my sister xxd
Goddammit
make it turn on via screwdriver
Its really hard case
disconnect the power button
you can disconnect the case's power button
and use a screwdriver to touch the pins
which will turn the computer on
lol
You're a genius
@inner ferry take the power cable
1sec
and discon it
lemme find a screwdriver
ight
Don't wreck your pc more than what ur cousins are doing lol
that's kind of an extreme method :/
Extreme cousins need extreme methods
o wtf the front part lcosed
i cutmyself from the edge
And dont forget about it xD
There's the required blood sacrifice
You can also blackmail them
lol
Anyone want an rx 460 oc while we're at it?
what do u hqve atm
a prebuilt that i don't like very much
lol
it's a good computer but it feels wrong
specs?
daaaamn
250 gb ssd, 2tb hdd
nice specs tho
wanna sell it because its only like 40 days old
lol my pc is 20
rip
1050ti i5 7400
no, logitech g710+
o
mouse is a razer naga hex
kinda wish I lived in russia
Im macedonian so when i saw your discord name in cyrilic i tjought you were somewhere close
for me anywhere except macedonia
yeah I can mostly read and write russian, as well as speak it, but I can understand it fluently
lol
Ripperoni
i feel bad
y
im in a steelseries discord chabnel and j have nothing about steelderies here lol
rip
except a mousepqd that i got for 4e
I have a headset and mousepad
i tried a headset and a mouse and i loved them
and I'm planning on replacing the keyboard and mouse with steelseries
a friend has rival 300 and siveria v2
nice
๐
xD
This is mine :3
Looks nice
noice
my build backside

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.
I had at first a corsair one which was very loud. The cooler master ml240 that i use now is very silent
If I remember correctly:
AIOs can cool better (water has a higher heat capacity than water). AIOs take longer to absorb and dissipate heat.
like every other watercooler
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
i had a corsair h60 before
I want to do hardline tubing but I don't have the money
Same bro
No reason to post the same pic multiple times @random shale ๐
Oh
Had some stuff open at the time, the wallpaper extended onto all the screens. Now it doesnโt work like that because I moved the right one vertical. I have an i5-4460, and an RX 480 running them. Only the middle one on the 480 because the other ones use VGA and I donโt have adapters for it all ;-;
Our two cute little encoding machines
The CPU is decent but the rest isn't that great
1050ti
No @tropic hollow that's not the build you want
That's the build you want
R7 1800X, GTX1080 ti, 32GB tridentz RGB ram
500 GB nvme SSD
Still need to replace the fans with RGB ones
And I have two light strips for the PC

I wish I could have such a great pc
whoooot
But it's my work pc
At home I don't have a PC ATM 
Hey @tropic hollow.. Do you like my new sound mixer?
Ahhh
It's pretty intense how many features it has
Will be using it to stream Red Dead 2 tomorrow if I have enough time to set it up
@pine copper the nzxt x62 had quiet pump noise at 100%. idk about the new corsairs though
@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 ๐
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?
thanks ๐ what's the price tag on that btw?
my setup atm is a AKG mic a focusrite scarlett 2i2 (wich I am pondering to change to an 8i8) and keyboard is a apex m800 (love big spacebar) and a rival 600 mouse
any1 know how to to solve a apex m800 that some keys aint working?
But it's working?
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
im deleting that
Awesome!
Not a problem c:
Woah! nice setup dude! @radiant fable
Thanks
Its a laptop xD
Isn't it super uncomfortable with the keyboard on top of the laptop?
But nice setup
Not really
I habe disabled the laptop keyboard tho
I dont acutally have space to put it else where
That's great to hear
Kinda
Anyone, send some pics of your setups! I'm looking for new ideas :DD
r/battlestations
Do you guys know if gpus, processors, motherboards will be on sale on black friday ?
Most likely.
heavy overwatch theme going on
looks absolutely sick
im not a fan of overdecorated things, but if you like it, its cool
i think i have the exact same case in blue
@bright totem its just something different
@tropic hollow thank you
@woeful hedge nzxt s340
:)
๐
@chilly edge not really- i only have one thing from overwatch.
true, I saw the reaper thingy then I thought the yinyang was zenyatta's harmony and discord orbs I guess
@tiny sphinx they're already super cheap
120, good enough to run OS and basic programs on
uhhh go to userbenchmark
Woooooah, nice!
oh my
@noble oak absolutely love it
gotta come back with some more pics when it's all up and running
itโs all nice but why three keyboards?
lol
Wait mechanical keyboard enhance kit???
Where is that on the store
@noble oak
Is that like the cleaning kit
@noble oak i mean if you arenโt going to need one of those mice i wonโt complain i you if you mail one my way
@ebon ember yeah itโs a cleaning kit :)
:D
Hey guys b&h has a GeForce 1070ti on sale for 350$ usd. Do you guys think itโll be cheaper during Black Friday? Should I wait until then to get one?
I think you should wait @craggy jungle
guys should i buy a gtx 980 or a 1060 ti?
980 will perform better
1060 "Ti" will have better memory bandwidth and will be more power efficient
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
the 1060 "Ti" is a 1060 that'll have GDDR5X memory
Yeah but a 1060Ti doesn't exist?
There's the 1060 3GB and 6GB
1070
1070Ti
1080
1080Ti
A 1060 6gb with GDDR5X is coming out and people have referred to it as the 1060 "Ti"
hence the quotation marks
Nice!! @raven bloom
@tropic hollow thank you. i think i need more Steel Series but the way the bank acc is. i need to chill LUL
or you know. one day the partnership โค
@chilly edge & a new mic that isn't in the pic. AT2035 . but aye man.
@tropic hollow apprecaite it. always trying to upgrade when i can
Arctis pro wireless, m750 rival 300 , 700 with new sensor and my rival 600 on qck+limited i played 1 years with the SS DeX mousepads the surface is insane but I find it too small i would like a larger version
damn that's a lot of $
@burnt lantern That's a nice collection!
NICE! @pliant stratus Looking good my dude!
Thanks @tropic hollow
:)
@pliant stratus Awesome setup!
@noble oak Thanks!
Fantastic Keyboard, headset and mice.
wired ๐ข
Awesome collection @gentle violet
I've always preferred wired, for some reason I could never get on with wireless peripherals
same, except for headphones
Wireless headphones - very comfortable. In other wireless devices, I do not see the point.
Yeah wireless headphones are great. I agree with you there's not much point in other wireless peripherals @gilded lodge
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.)
For performance definitely go for the 8700k
or AMD Ryzen
You're probably fine for a while if you go for an i5-8600k
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
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
@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
I think senheiser game one
of steelseries??
I own the arctis 7, they ran me just over $150 USD. I have no complaints so far @noble oak
@fiery monolith and battery?
guys battery of ths product is good??
I was going to say there are only like 10 headsets from steelseries
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 I plau for about 5-7 hours a day. 1 full charge lasts me about a week
@fiery monolith k ty
Yes, no need to go overkill on a processor and AMD will release a new generation of processors on am4
Gotcha <3
A Ryzen 3 2200g has more processing power than the fx
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 :)
Damn that sounds good
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
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?
then you have to see also what you play and with which processor you personally find yourself better
Ive never owned a intel processor :p
No need for Intel right now
@fiery monolith yes ik but Is good processor
Not worth it rn though
So you say buy an AM4 motherboard+cpu? @chilly edge (if so, any recs on motherboards?)
cheesy how much can you spend?
Don't have many recommendations, find a mobo that suits your needs
Like 4 DIMM slots is normally a must
Uh i meah. Im 17 years old ๐ i make just about $400 every other week
lol
That's a lot
lmaooo
800 per month
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
And I get about 25-30 hours a week. After taxes its just under $400
AMD is more exciting
if u wanna do a good update intel is good
Ik AMD is typically better for overclocks
for gaming is better intel but for photoshop or sony vegas for work AMD is better than intel
Yes it's not as optimised, but b350/b450 allows higher memory speeds and some overclpcks
Not as optimised for gaming
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)
This is from userbenchmark
Fx 8300 Vs Ryzen 3 2200G
The cheapest Zen+ (2000 series) Ryzen chip
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
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
Well, it will handle both gaming and streaming exceptionally well, in addition to handling workloads well
It's the Rival 700 but with a better sensor
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?
don't buy intel
AyyMD.
Ayy my dude
Yea amd is more future proof
Is it cool if I drop a list with what im gonna use in it? And you give suggestions if any at all?
Sure!
What's wrong with Intel I've heard great reviews @gilded lodge
They are monopolists, too expensive. It is much more profitable to take AMD.
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
@fiery monolith sure
I wouldnt be so quick to point the finger on that one
fortnut
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
ASUS Prime X470-Pro AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard
ROSEWILL ATX Mid Tower (CULLINAN-WHITE)
CORSAIR HYDRO Series H150i PRO
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4(2x16GB)
(reuse my 1080ti)
(reuse my 750 watt power supply)
(reuse my hard drive)
Do you have an SSD?
Right now an HDD, im seeing if my friend wants to sell his, if not, I will just grab a Samsung 1TB
I personally like Intel just bc of looks and welp i see alot more high-end builds with it ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I've always had AMD but have a preference for Intel, just can't afford it right now ;-;
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
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
Yea
Intel is better optimised for games
Ryzen is better value, and the motherboards are forwards/backwards compatible with eachother
If i'm going to get extension cables, there's only a 50cm kit in the right colours. I have a non modular power suppl
Ah
I will die with with an amd processer
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?
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
Ahh
@ashen marsh techsource has a very good video about overclocking and pc building
personally not a fan of techsource
I love that
Lol I'm buying almost all steelsires gear I'm buying the 710 and the rgb large mouse pad then the keyboard
Well, I goofed up. I spend too much time looking at pc components and end up getting myself stuck in holes.
My current hole: Black Ram with white LEDS or white accents.
I hate myself for this stuff
Solve the problem with Pink ram @chilly edge
doesnt fit into my colour scheme
Oof @chilly edge i didn't go for looks I just want a good pc for gaming/streamimg
I'm able to get a good pc without compromising vanity 
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)
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
I think it would look amazing with the white leds
So do I actually
it's also cheaper, G.Skill Trident Z Black/white is hard to get here
Yeah, do you have any other white led or rgb things in your PC?
Well, my GPU has a white LED to show it's getting power
but other than that, no RGB or LED
Inwin infinity case for you then
uses the "infinite mirror" illusion with RGB
@fiery monolith thanks for followign through with the LED idea, I reckon it'll compliment the RGB built into the case and the LED on my GPU
โค
not to mention its cheaper
Tru. I think a white pc builds are slick asf
guyssss
Nice man, i really want the qck prism XL or the qck XXL
Enjoy!!
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.
ma stuff from steelseries
@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.
My setup rn I have a rival 600 and a M750 TKL on the way. They will be here on Friday
Plus this
Getting like basically all steelseries products except keyboard
Keyboard is corsair
And i actually might alsp get the glaive mouse
@upper cosmos thank ya <3 but what about the qck xl or xxl? Those fit my needs a lil better
Can anyone compare the rival 600 to the glaive for me
@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)
Lookin good ๐ @urban hound
It is a cool game
What's that? BTC mining simulator or PC Building simulator
both?!
lol
Is BTC bitcoin?
ye
Open air pc
that must get quite dusty
no i clean it everyday
You are committed and I respect you
haha ty ๐
How long have you had it like that?
Its my 2nd day xd
@noble oak Does it warm your room up at all? Or does it all stay pretty cool? +Is it pretty quiet? (Idrk much about open air PC's)
@full surge hey I'm buying that same case for my first build ๐
its a great case but be prepared to clean in with compressed air at least once a month @ashen marsh
Ahh
@full surge how do u have your fans set up? Like bc idk what to do I'll show u my build but Idk how to set it up
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BqssWD @full surge
I have the three in the front pulling air in, the one in the back pulling air out, and the two at the top for the water cooler pulling air out of the case through the cooler and out the case ( this is optional, really pulling air in to out or out to the cooler in is fine as long as the first are in the same configuration)
@ashen marsh
@fiery monolith its cool
Rate my setup ๐
at least ur british
@noble oak Peep wallpaper is 10/10
Yep.. 15th.. i lit a cig for him haha ๐ง

Gonna swap out the fans on the kraken for RGB fans and add a couple of light strips ๐
Then I'll move everything over into a NZXT H500i case
Need to get some more storage
that's one beefy GPU
I'm not going to go full on lights mode with my PC
I'll probably have whatevers on my motherboard, some white LED ram sticks and the built in lighting of the case im getting
lucky
PC specs

I need a proper PC at home. A laptop with a 1050ti aint gonna cut it
anyone have a big enough desk for dual monitor setup
ye y
are you trying to find desks
cause idk what mines called but honestly just scour the internet and eventually you will find something
I'm on a dual monitor set up currently. Want to make that triple though.
Yummy dirty keyboard.
@quiet crystal just an ikea table
How'd that happen @spring grove? Dang
Oooops ๐
I'm happy the Vive controller is pretty sturdy. I've hit a concrete wall with one several times ๐
Mine still has no scratches
I|ve hit mz desk,.
my keyboard, my phone, almost everything in my room XD
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

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?
you can probably find a video on it
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 ๐ค
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...
hnnnghhhh I can get the motherboard i'm looking at for ยฃ10 cheaper
@spring grove such a cool wallpaper. Had to download in Wallpaper engine too lol 
I ordered the discounted motherboard
@hushed spindle im actually going with the 9700k
Anyone know a good laptop to Run Ableton Live? Need it for my music class.
H270 board with unlocked CPU 
xd
why h270 though
but you have an UNLOCKED cpu
yes siree
but the motherboard wont let you overclock
ok the real reason is im stupid and didnt realise it wont let me overclock until after i bought it
Ahhh dammit
