I think i'm going from an a8 7650k to a Ryzen 3 2200G
hasty nebula
i was considering using this rx 480 with my new build until i buy the 1080
but then the graphics would just be crap still
dreamy spoke
@chilly edge not the 2400G?
hasty nebula
would you guys say it is viable to get money back on that h270 board to get a Gigabyte - GA-Z270-Gaming K3 board
since unlocked cpu
*if i can
chilly edge
@dreamy spoke I need a budget cpu, already got a graphics card
hasty nebula
pachi what card is it
chilly edge
gtx 1060 3gb
chilly edge
I cant buy a new one to replace my 1060 3gb
not enough money, besides, negligible difference
hasty nebula
im seeing if i can get a refund rn
to maybe get that z270 board
but idk
like i dont want to oc that badly
worth it?
chilly edge
Well, you might get a sizable performance gain
chilly edge
it's not, too hard. I don't think.
You just go into bios, up CPU core ratio and voltage a bit
hasty nebula
actually im not since it has 3.9ghz turbo clock anyway
hushed spindle
@radiant fable yeah dude the 9700k is better than you'd first expect. Anways, all of the ones we both listed are probably gonna crush anything you need it to unless you max out everything on a super demanding game at 1440p or 4k or widescreen and u try to get high fps
so unless you're doing all of those things, then all of those processors will exceed your needs most likely, so you will not only be happy, but also pretty future proof
but 9700k does have really good clock speeds so I'm sure you can get like 1k fps in csgo if you are into that type of thing
dreamy spoke
@chilly edge you'd be better off getting just a CPU then. Maybe even a Ryzen 5 for the cost of a 2200G.
chilly edge
what would I buy though?
dreamy spoke
Can get a Ryzen 5 1600 or better still a 2600
Would give you a way stronger CPU than the 2200/2400G
That would be my advice.
chilly edge
depends on my budget, CPU will probably be my last purchase
ashen marsh
What's your budget @chilly edge
chilly edge
I uhh, don't know
I bought a motherboard, I have like £105 rn
i'll need to buy a new case
ashen marsh
Well that should be plenty for a new case, the one I bought costed me like 150
open galleon
When you buy a case and your GPU doesn’t even fit. Farewell!
chilly edge
@open galleon just how long is you gpu
radiant fable
Just return the case idk
celest schooner
what full tower cases with tempered glass would you guys reccomend?
hasty nebula
i would just say
dont get anything too expensive
because theres no point spending a lot on your case
especially if ur on a budget
chilly edge
Nzxt have the s340 elite and h500
Phanteks have stuff like the p300 and p400
And there's stuff from Corsair, Lian Lian li and stuff like that
Browse around, watch reviews
civic vigil
fractal design r6 is cool imo
celest schooner
thanks
i have like a 4,000 budget. I want to water cool the whole thing hence the tempered glass
chilly edge
I think fractal design S2 is good for that
celest schooner
isnt that a mid?
or is there a full tower version i am unaware of?
im kinda looking along those lines
any ideas?
hasty nebula
if you have a 4,000 budget
it doesnt rly matter
just go for what looks nice but doesnt cost over like 150
so you can spend more on the things that actually matter the most
celest schooner
@woeful hedge how do you like the select mini? had any issues with it?
and what PC case is that?
woeful hedge
it's been perfect so far, only issue is i cant fit the spool in next to it
and the case is the NZXT - S340
celest schooner
cool thanks. yea i saw the spool of blue filament and thought this guy must have a 3-d printer
i have the same one, except black
i had alot of issues with it at first, got a replacement, issues with that, then the second replacement has worked fine ever since
woeful hedge
nice, that seems to be the case for most people
celest schooner
i'm assuming you have the arctis pro wireless as well?
would you recommend it? any regrets?
radiant fable
Guys what do you recommend
A rog strix 1070ti or msi armor 1080
They are the same price
pine copper
armor has bad cooling AFAIK
1070ti is close to 1080 when OCed, but you can still OC 1080 better 😄
radiant fable
Just say 1070ti or 1080
stable talon
get a better 1080
radiant fable
I dont like the armor too

Anyone know where I can get a ryzen 7 2700x? Amazon/Newegg are selling them wayyy too high (considering Amazon just had them for $280 and now they are $320)
Please @ me!!!!! Much appreciated ❤
fiery monolith
Yeah, a lotta people have it marked up a lot for??? Idk, but primarily I ONLY need the cpu, not the fan with it @ashen marsh
ashen marsh
Ohh
fiery monolith
Im upset they took the sale off :(
Micro center is sellin it for 250, but idk? It doesnt have a spot to add to cart
stable talon
because microcenter is in store only
fiery monolith
Well some things you can buy on their site and some you cant??? @stable talon
Its fine tho, Best Buy has black Friday goin rn and they got it on sale cheaper than anywhere else, along with the Samsung 970 Evo, so im all good! Thanks for the help all <3
whole carbon
@fiery monolith just tell them to match price
fiery monolith
Do they do that? Cause I thought a lotta places stopped cause of uhhh the PS4 scandal on ebay? @whole carbon (fake ebay post about a $10 PS4 and Walmart was forced to price matching]
whole carbon
i think for microcenter they only match price for credible website like newegg, steelseries, amazon etc
fiery monolith
Gotcha, well I when I look at the site, it doesnt have a "add to cart" button like all the other products @whole carbon
whole carbon
rip i have a microcenter like 45 min away
fiery monolith
dudeeee I would love to go to one

@radiant fable if I were u I would've got the EK Fluid Gaming A240 instead of the h100i but that's a nice build.
fiery monolith
Steel Series... I am very impressed with your QCK Medium mousepad. Feels like its built to last. Looks nice, feels VERYYY SMOOTH. And above all others. Has your logo on it 😍 
hushed spindle
No but there is something better. Just download the ISO and then install it but when it asks for a key you can do the option that's like "skip" or "I don't have a key" and then the only downside is a small watermark in the bottom right and it's barely noticeable for most applications and games and also that customization is a little more difficult because you can't right click on a picture and make it wallpaper that way or something, but it's free, so you kinda save $100 and lose almost nothing, and it is legal too...
formal bramble
yeah this works
celest schooner
@radiant fable what CPU is that? i7-9700k? 8700k? and what size rad is that in the AIO?
ashen marsh
@radiant fable nice I can't wait to have mine all set
fiery monolith
Have it all of it except the case kms(I have a 650W PSU in my current PC)
(Ryzen 7 2700x)
hushed spindle
nice
my build was pretty good with alot of upgrade potential but then my mom boonked it 🤷 😢
fiery monolith
how so?
radiant fable
Your case should be preety big for that 3 fan radiator
radiant fable
1 tb ssd do you even have a hard disk
fiery monolith
@radiant fable Yeah I got a pretty big case. +I have a HDD in my current PC with the 1080ti in it right now. and tbh, i hardly even use anything close to 1tb. But i will still throw it into my PC just for extra/mass storage
hushed spindle
Lol mass storage I only have like 3 big games
fiery monolith
I mean, i dont really NEED to put my hdd into my new pc. I have only used 500gb in total on it(windows, games, pictures, etc.) And havent ran into any issues with needing more space. So im p confident that i will be fine
fiery monolith
Lag or load times?
noble oak
Both it seems
In bo4 and ww2 it’s def load times though. Guess who always gets a vehicle in ww2. (Me)

Thanks guys
pine copper
Z370 allows overclocking on CL refresh too, doesn't it?
chilly edge
Maybe, but z390 is optimised
radiant fable
@humble panther wtf are you trolling he needs a z390 motherboard his cpu is unlocked
I dont think you can use your 9600k on a z370
Im with a 9700k and a z390
celest schooner
@radiant fable are you saying you cant use a 9600k on a z370?
because i am pretty sure you can, unless im mistaken
radiant fable
Idk
chilly edge
though I don't think z370 is optimised for the 9000series SKUs
radiant fable
Its trolling to reccomend him like H370, Q370, B360 etc. When he has an unlocked processor
chilly edge
^^
noble oak
lol
whatever you do dont buy an i9
they arent worth it imo
the i7 6700k unlocked is just as good and like 1000$ cheaper
the i9 is great with my rtx 2080ti though

@red pulsar for a second i thought you had a 11tb SSD

fiery monolith
@fair lintel just make sure you have a wirelesss adapter if you are planning on using wifi instead of ethernet!!
fiery monolith
You cant do wireless internet with whats in that picture, youre gonna have to use an ethernet cable(idk youre situation if thats possible or not but i know that I cant use one cause im a lil far from the router)
@radiant fable ^
radiant fable
So ethernet is with the cable ?
fiery monolith
Yeah, usually it connect from the router, to the motherboard(back of the PC)
radiant fable
I know where to connect the cable ?XD
fiery monolith
oh lmao, you asked if ethernet was with the cable. It just sounded like you were clueless of how it works, I apologize!!
This is what a wireless adapter would look like. The antennas would hang out of the back of the case

i'm looking into building a server
would it be worth spending the extra to go only ssds or should i just get a load of 12tb hard drives?
i need like 100tb at least
or maybe make that 50tb
fast storage would be useful because ill only be storing massive avi files on it, but i can deal with hdds, like 12tb hdds are super cheap compared to smaller ssds
noble oak
I would go with the hdds
red pulsar
yeah, it would probably end up getting me over 10k if i went with ssds
okay yeah wayyy over 10k
yeah, ill just get hdds, Now all i need to do is figure out where i get a case that will fit this many drives and where im gonna put the server

Good luck man!

Hey, does anyone know if I should get another stick of ram?
Currently I have 2x4gb and 1x8gb = 16gb
I'm thinking of getting another 8gb or 4gb stick. Since I use After Effects all the time and Photoshop.
Anyone here support that? or is my 16gb enough?
fiery monolith
For photo editing, personally your CPU and RAM are your 2 biggest things for photoshop and video editing. If possible, I would get as many 16gb cards as possible. If money is tight, just get the single 8gb. (Just make sure that your motherboard can support mass amounts of ram. like 128GB's of ram)
@bitter mist ^
bitter mist
I have an i5 6600k and 16gb like I said before, I don't think I'm willing to spend $350 ish for 128gbs. I'm not doing any extreme editing my motherboard only supports up to 64gbs anyways.
But I'll be looking to get that extra 8gb stick! Thank you
fiery monolith
<3
naive dirge
tropic hollow
WOOP! Nice setup
naive dirge
too much colour, HDR on my phone didn't want to co-operate 😄
red pulsar
@bitter mist if your motherboard is dual channel you will need to get 2 sticks
look at the ram slots in your pc and see if they are different colours
also make sure the new sticks are faster or the same speed as your current ram because the slowest ram sets the speed for the other sticks
so if you had 1600mhz ram already and you bought 1333mhz, all the ram would run at 1333mhz
tropic hollow
:D
celest schooner
@red pulsar i was actually wondering about that. the RAM speed. thanks lol
red pulsar
id recommend getting the same brand too
tidal cave
Same model if you can
red pulsar
Same type, Same Speed, Same Brand, Same Model & Same Size
and 2 of them
you will only get dual channel if the sizes match iirc
or half of it will run in single channel
fiery monolith
@celest schooner whenever you get it all set up, just make sure that you check BIOS to see what speed they are at. Because usually it will default them at a slower speed than what they are supposed to be. EX. I bought 2 sticks of 3000MHz ddr4 8gb RAM. When i first used them, they started at 2666MHz, until I changed it myself in bios :(
celest schooner
@fiery monolith thanks man for the tip. i havent actually bought new ram, nor was i really planning to. Just was wondering, and someone had by chance just asked the question
fiery monolith
Np,tbh most PC's will start the ram at a lower speed than what they can do. So if you have never checked. Doesnt hurt to! :) @celest schooner

my biggest dilemma is with the CPU cooler
fiery monolith
The h150i pro?

Ive heard that its kinda :/ when you overclock. Not enough to remove the heat(gimme a sec and i will send a PC BUILD pic
Of mine)
chilly edge
I mean I need something that looks nice
White/black
I've found some options
and I'm also looking at sleeved extension cables
fiery monolith
Thats what I mean, sleeved extension. But rn i dont have a full modular PSU. So im savin for that right now
chilly edge
Yeah
I'm debating to see what I can do
because I might be able to sell my old hardware to get some money
which could buy a new PSU
fiery monolith
I need to sell my old hardware 😂😂😂😂
The corair and geforce gtx 1080ti are white, the picture just showed them pink :(
chilly edge
this is what i'm looking at
Might get a new PSU with money from old hardware if possible
fiery monolith
How many watts is your old PSU?
650W should handle that build just fine
Hecc, even maybe a 500W
chilly edge
500but it's an actual nightmare the cables are so annoying and its non modular and I could do with a PSU from a more reliable brand
chilly edge
Plus a full modular PSU can come with a nice bag for cables which I could repurpose
fiery monolith
This guy
Its a 750 watt powersupply but its actually smaller in size than most others(more room for cables
chilly edge
Yeah and it's normally at a lower price than some others
fiery monolith
Ye that also. Personally I have a 650W with my Ryzen 7 2700X and 1080TI and am looking for an upgrade. I'm reallllllly looking into that EVGA one, only because its a smaller size(More room for me to shove cables into the back) 😃
chilly edge
Future proofing
Plus higher efficiency
And cables that don't look like a 4year olds doodles
fiery monolith
750w will last anyone AWHILE
chilly edge
Yeah
Also new Power supply news from me: I found like the perfect power supply
Corsair RMx White
either 750W or 850W
lavish igloo
usually 750w is enough
chilly edge
I know, but for £10 more 100W seems like it'd last me that little extra mile
Plus it comes with White sleeved cables which i'd end up spending £60 on
celest schooner
anyone have the "Thermaltake View 71" case?
chilly edge
Nope, But I can remember that it's expensive as hell, pretty big and looks good
fiery monolith
@celest schooner I like the case, especially the room to fit a 360 AIO Radiator in the front OR the top of the case. However, The 3 case fans are preinstalled(ok.) but depending on the parts youre gonna be using, I feel that might not be sufficient enough(Idk if you will do SLI Crossovers or not, or dual CPU, extreme overclock on all your parts, etc.) But it looks like a nice case! If it helps at all. I picked up the "Rosewill Cullinan-White" it looks a little similar with the same amount of room for case fans for about half the price.
celest schooner
@fiery monolith thanks man for the info. just was hoping someone had the case, cuz i was gonna ask for a picture of it from the top
and its showing the cullinan is a mid-tower. im looking for a full tower
and you could obvi take off the front facing fans right?
tropic hollow
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w74nJ8 this seems like the likely choice to go on my first PC
thoughts?
fiery monolith
ye you could take off the front fans and do whatever u wanna with them. i was just sayin u could have a 360mm AIO Rad in the front or top. Thats all 😃 Gotta go tho! Have a good one all!
pulsar fossil
Why no nvme storage @tropic hollow ?
chilly edge
So
A. The Motherboard you've chosen has Z370, you'll want a z390 (check hardware unboxed's Z390 roundup)
B. Motherboard manufacturers have some whack settings in bios that lets the 9900k chomp through a crap ton of wattage, might want to get a beefier PSU.
C. It'll probably be more beneficial to get a 360mm Radiator to cool the 9900k
D. You'll want case fans to help cool the motherboard VRMS
E. There are better cases for airflow, i've seen people who dislike the h500 due to the airflow being only average.

building a pc for a friend, what do you guys think of these specs?
chilly edge
A. The language is rude
and also
Why the hell are you using a h110 board with an 8th gen locked processor
- h110 doesnt support 8th gen CPUs
- AMD is a better choice right now
red pulsar
oh really?
chilly edge
Yes, also, there's PcPartPicker https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/guide/MLXscf/great-amd-gaming-build
chilly edge
No point in Z370 if you're not using an 8600k/8700k
AMD is better for longevity, you won't need to buy a new motherboard to upgrade your processor
Plus the stock cooler is much more competent
For example, he could get this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RPgQ9J

Dang the 1050ti stinks
Tweaking the settings (max low) didn't help much
Sooooo, I'm not sure what's going on, but I saw a significant improvement after updating the GPU driver. Even though the old driver was just one month older than the update.
Rather than barely doing 30 fps it's now doing about 90.
🤔

Drivers will do that. Thats why they are really heccin important! :)

Yo is a 2080 for 830$ good ? I was going to go for a 1080 but can't find any in stock but this 2080 has a 5 month payment for 165 plus tax and shipping for the first payment
pine copper
depends on country IMO
in Ukraine 1080ti is like 50-100$ cheaper than 2080 and I decided to go with latter one
fiery monolith
I would pay it all in full/straight up instead of a 5 month. Only because you will end up spending more than u need to. But also (idk what ur situation is) but there is only a handful of rtx games. Along with idk if u were talkin about a 1080ti or just the 1080
ashen marsh
Just the 1080 and its way more convienent to pay by month and doesn't cost more overall, as I still pay shipping and not extra fees also I had a 5%coupon so that's like 50$ gone
fiery monolith
Gotchaaaa
ashen marsh
I just don't want to upgrade my graphics card later on for a few year bc there so expensive
fiery monolith
I can say 1080ti is gonna last for AWHILE
I also read somewhere that they are gonna stop production of the 1080ti???? Idk if anyone else has heard it or not

but that doesn't fit here 😃
@fiery monolith 1080ti will definitely last for at least a couple of years but I assume rtx 2080 will be little bit better and the performance gap between those 2 will increase because of more driver updated and optimization
tidal cave
@pine copper It's definitely possible to make a mockup that fits all. Most of those are based on Chrome

Would a 850w PSU be enough to power a rig with two 1080ti's and AMD Ryzen 7 2700x

I think so, but you could also probably aim for a higher wattage
wild geyser
what do you think of my setup guys
fiery monolith
Tbh i think the higher the wattage, the more future proofing youre doing(no need to go overkill with like a 1600w lol, but a 850-1000 i think would be perfect) @valid bloom

For some reason, I didn't see it on Amazon, so i just got this

Should've kept looking 
noble oak
I guess I should have by the way you make it sound 😂
chilly edge
yeah because the sensor on the 100 is kinda, well. Absolute trash. The 110 has a better sensor, more customisable DPI, better tracking etc

well the actual sensor on the 100, is a good sensor, the 110 is just better and more precise.

celest schooner
if i want to do a custom water cooled PC, is it ?necessary/worth-it/easier? to get a full tower over a mid-tower case?
chilly edge
Well, it depends how nuts you're going
ashen marsh
If you want a big rig then full towet
celest schooner
@chilly edge i would have both the CPU and GPU in the loop
chilly edge
I believe the fractal design S2 will work well for that
Has a fill/drain port at the top fan bracket
celest schooner
it looks kinda small? or no?
chilly edge
I think it should work, admittedly I haven't doen much research into Custom liquid cooling loops
let me check
celest schooner
i sent you a link
chilly edge
yep that's teh case
Not sure how many reservoirs you can mount or how many you need
But it does have a reservoir mount
celest schooner
ok
cool thank man for the help
but now im wondering if spending an extra $15 to get the view 71 from TT is worth it then cuz it is a full tower
chilly edge
that's your call, both cases look like they can fit the same size reservoir, but i havent done enough research
fiery monolith
I was gonna say,there are people that use small towers(like if ur gpu was stacked with another one) tall. And still fit a custom water loop into it. I know the youtuber JayzTwoCents(correct me if im wrong on the spelling) that did a 100% custom loop in a tiny case
Full tower is prolly gonna be the easiest, but might result in more $ spent in a bigger case, and more tubing/pump/etc.
celest schooner
true thats a good point
fiery monolith
Just tryna get all the thoughts in your head ya know?
celest schooner
haha yea thanks
fiery monolith
Oh! +if you plan on getting 2 gpu's to SLI in the loop(they look sick imo) i would recc a full tower
celest schooner
lol. yea 2 GPU are a bit outa my price range RN. i agree they look sick but wish i had the money for that
noble oak
use NVLink, no major difference, just higher bandwidth

Kinda a silly question, but i'v wondered it for years,
if i had a PC that had 1 Core ( clocked at 4Ghz )
is it faster then a 4 Core 1 Ghz or the same speed
if they was on the same size
chilly edge
not sure
lucid fog
I always find CPU comparing Hard, even to remember the diffence 😄
I always have to google the difference, but even then its can still be tricky
and since this is PC i might as well post my Laptop spec's ( Custom Build )
CPU - i7 6700HQ
GPU - 950M 2GB
RAM - 16GB HyperX IMPACT 1600MHz 2x8GB
Boot - 128GB SAMSUNG SM951 + 120GB HyperX SSD
lucid fog
Down side i was dumb 4 Years ago and should have got a PC 😦
pine copper
@lucid fog you should avoid comparing CPU's by stats like this since there is a lot of space for various optimizations etc
so an old Pentium at 4Ghz may be slower than modern laptop CPU (maybe even slower than some phone CPU's but I'm not sure)
lucid fog
Ye, just look at console 😄

Is a 400 W good for a pc with 1050 ti, 8GB RAM, FX-6400?

Depends what your budget is
you normally want at least 450W, but increasing to 500-600W will be more comfortable

@fathom ingot Just buy best in your budget, higher is better. Would open more choices in future for upgradability.

This will help me in the long run, which should I get
Also price to performance is pretty good vs upgrading to an i5 8600k
@noble oak

the 1700x is ur best bet for price to performance but if u want something thatll last for a bit more id say go for the 2600x

Here's a question. I have the dreaded windows 10 problem that affects 144hz and 60hz monitors when it limits the 144hz monitor when obs is on my 60hz screen etc. I have a 1060 GPU that I connect for both of my monitors, would I be able to buy a GT 710 just to use as a display gpu for my 60hz monitor to prevent it from limiting? (I heard that you could use your cpu's gpu to do this but my CPU doesn't have a discrete gpu) Hope this all make sense

^ if you do buy a new gpu just buy at least a 1050 i would say. Even though its a bit more of an investment. But thats my opinion 😄

I skipped over that part :( i would go with a cheap gpu. A GTX 660 would even pass by(if you dont need HDMI outputs) if youre just tryna run a sife monitor.

@dusk python I don't understand why your 60hz would limit your main display?
You shouldn't have any issues running both screens at their own refresh rates

Does the RTX 2080ti work with an Asus ROG PG258Q monitor?
its an overclocked 240hz monitor
so 250hz
chilly edge
Depends what you mean by "work"
dusk python
@pulsar fossil its a issue with windows 10/nvidia. From my understanding windows 10 has a different way of managing programs to make them use less cpu/memory or whatever. When you run a program in full screen on the 144Hz monitor and the other screen is static then it's fine. But when you have a moving scene such as a video or obs on the other screen it will begin to limit your framerate due to the Windows 10 handing programs differently. You can get around it buy using a igpu which I don't have, buying another 144hz monitor or running your main monitor 120hz (this didn't help my issue)
And when I meant limit your frame rate I don't mean my game or whatever drops below 60, I mean that the game feels 60fps while the game is getting 144+fps
I'll most likely buy another 144hz monitor but thats a hella big investment.
