[chilly edge]

not touching RGB though

[pallid plinth]

i said a55 and it told me it's disallowed

ok

oh

nvm

fucc isnt allowed

i was gonn say

rgb fans suck

[delicate schooner]

i gotta cut down on bad words on twitch

[pallid plinth]

it's either noctua or be quiet mostly

[delicate schooner]

tryna get that steelseries sponsorship

[pallid plinth]

only get the apex pro

headsets are mediocre

and mice are eh

[delicate schooner]

ivbe used the arctis pros

[pallid plinth]

the shapes of their mice get me tingly tho, since they should fit

[delicate schooner]

they are amazing

yeah im using an ergo rn

[pallid plinth]

hyperx could alphas better tho

yeah im using an ergo rn
@delicate schooner the sensei ten should fit me like a glove

[chilly edge]

i love the shape of my rival 310

[delicate schooner]

my razer mouse is great

[pallid plinth]

which one u got

[delicate schooner]

basalisk

x

hyperspeed

[pallid plinth]

fair fair

im a sucker for pcs, mice and keebs

[delicate schooner]

got it cheap

50$

[chilly edge]

razer's product line confuses me more than logitechs

[pallid plinth]

razer have been improving on that

logitech is a complete mess to me

[chilly edge]

I'll be getting a nice keyboard

[pallid plinth]

what u getting

[delicate schooner]

i have a small puddle of blood beneath my foot hold on

[pallid plinth]

i need to knwoe

[chilly edge]

I mean, i'm more familiar with logitech

[pallid plinth]

im familiar with all those companies

believe me, im an enthusiast

[chilly edge]

Caps-unlocked CU-65 with Gateron yellows, lubed with tribosys 3204 and ePBT Stabilizers (lubed with dielectric grease) and some PBT Dye sub caps

nothing fancy from the caps, just from AliExpress

[delicate schooner]

ko im back

oh wait keyboard talk?

[pallid plinth]

forgot how the yellows feel

tactile?

[delicate schooner]

black inks are best typing switch dont @ me

[chilly edge]

Yellows are linears

[pallid plinth]

ah oki

[chilly edge]

heavier than reds, lighter than blacks

[pallid plinth]

im feeling burgundy would fit me

light and a bit lower actuation

but hall effect switches :nutt:

that's why i got the apex pro

[chilly edge]

I'm guessing that's a Kailh pro switch, burgundy

[pallid plinth]

yea

apex pro tho, literally the best switches

[delicate schooner]

ive heard

[chilly edge]

and hall effect is cool, but I was already too far committed into custom stuff

non contact switches must be so smooth

[pallid plinth]

i got a bad feeling about custom keebs

[delicate schooner]

whys that?

[pallid plinth]

it just seems like such an elitist hobby

[delicate schooner]

oh it is

[chilly edge]

some communities are terrible

[pallid plinth]

ik most are friendly, but the snobs are awful

[chilly edge]

the UK one is pretty great though

[pallid plinth]

i hope

i want steelseries to make a 60% with their hall effects

[chilly edge]

i've been in there for probably over a year

[delicate schooner]

ok so wait i have a question, should i get another set of 16gb of ram?

like is it really useful to have 32

[pallid plinth]

not really, 16 gigs should be enough

32 is if you're working on things

like rendering

[chilly edge]

for intensive video editing/rendering stuffs, 32 is good

[pallid plinth]

which you won't

[delicate schooner]

i do sometimes

[pallid plinth]

streaming will be good with 16

[chilly edge]

but 16 suffices literally everywhere

[pallid plinth]

yeah

[delicate schooner]

my ram hits 90% usage whule streaming

[pallid plinth]

i mean

intel
prolly low frequancy

[delicate schooner]

3600mhz

[pallid plinth]

ryzen cpus love high frequancy dual channeled ram

so 2 sticks of 3600 should work wonders on those

[delicate schooner]

kk

i might do 4000

on a ryzen 9 build

just say f it

[pallid plinth]

no point, too expensive and not much of an improvement

3600 is a lot more affordable and sensible

4k is just overkill

and 3900x is basically a work cpu, it's too much for streaming and gaming

you want good gear, but you gotta be smart

g.skill 16 gb 3600mhz ram and a 3700x will do you very, very well

if you'll get a sponsor from ss

just get the apex pro and their mousepads

those are the best things about them

mice are a bit lacking in the sensor department and headsets are mediocre, a cloud alpha does as best as the pros for less

[delicate schooner]

kk

[pallid plinth]

If you get in contact with any devs send them this

I want this to be a thing

[delicate schooner]

same

[chilly edge]

I wonder

there's a bit of a lack of 75%s or like 60%s+Tenkey

even stuff like 90%s

[delicate schooner]

like i said

ten key

but a streamdeck instead of arrow keys and home and stff

[pallid plinth]

You bet there's a lack of those

Tkls are nice, but 60s are so nice

I wanna get I to tournaments and 60 percents are so comfortable to carry sround

That document lists basically what I want in a 60 percent

Mainly from SS bc the hall effect switches are just too good to pass up

It'd be an instant buy from me

I mean maybe when I do get the chance to carry it around

But fucc me I want that document to happen

Yeah closed case would do it

In tired of floating switches in the sense that they feel too exposed

[delicate schooner]

yeah

[pallid plinth]

That 60 percent focuses on travel so more switch protection should be the focus

[delicate schooner]

i dont like floating switches

i prefer a smoother look

[pallid plinth]

I'm cool with them on desktops since light bleed is pretty

But that one I wrote about should be closed case

[delicate schooner]

agreed

i cant wait to get partnerd with twitch

partnered*

[pallid plinth]

Oboy, forced streaming

[delicate schooner]

i just submitted my application

[pallid plinth]

But gl

Just hoping you won't get shafted with their tos bs lmao

[delicate schooner]

wdym?

with the forced streaming

[pallid plinth]

Twitch just don't smell right to me, but it do what it do

You're supposed to stream for some minimum length each week or so by what I understand

[delicate schooner]

oh thats easy

im already doing 70hrs a week\

[pallid plinth]

Aight

[delicate schooner]

i do 3 12 hour streams a week, then 4 9 hour ones

[pallid plinth]

How are u just asking?

Old*

[delicate schooner]

17

big boi

[pallid plinth]

Ain't u got school?

[delicate schooner]

graduated last year

[pallid plinth]

Damn, meanwhile me 18 finishing senior lol

Locations be locations tho

[delicate schooner]

nah i just put in the time

i knew what i wanted to do

and i said "lets do it"

[lucid wigeon]

twitch staff are questionable

[pallid plinth]

My thought

[delicate schooner]

how so?

i need explanation

[pallid plinth]

Alinity

[delicate schooner]

oh yeah

[pallid plinth]

Is being protected whilst breaking tos

[delicate schooner]

shiiii you right

[lucid wigeon]

they seem to have favouritism

not just alinity

[pallid plinth]

^^^^

[lucid wigeon]

they sometimes can be very biased

[delicate schooner]

i hope i get accepted

ive worke way to freaking hard

[lucid wigeon]

gl

[delicate schooner]

thanks

oh wHAT

steelseries just followed me back on tiktok wth

[pallid plinth]

: eyes :

just keep this on your person @delicate schooner

if you ever come across a dev

[delicate schooner]

yes sir

[pallid plinth]

i could go on but it's 4:20 am

ill bugger off to bed and be around tomorrow

[delicate schooner]

ok gn!

[pallid plinth]

nini

[delicate schooner]

see i woldve said that but was afriad of being accused a bottom

[pallid plinth]

🤔

(o yea i got feedback for the apex pro after some months but that's another doc)

just shoot a dm so i remember to come to talk here

[delicate schooner]

oki doki

[low vigil]

Alinity is gorgeous though

[umbral anvil]

e

[low vigil]

Is my mouse pretty

[sweet sparrow]

Oh good lord

Please give your mouse a good wipe

And rinse your mousepad thoroughly

[fast jewel]

that mouse has seen things

[verbal rock]

that mouse has felt things

[rustic apex]

That mouse looks so sad

[static pecan]

This is mouse abuse

[lucid quail]

Can anyone tell me if this is a good power supply???

[drowsy flicker]

if you going to get a power supply I highy recommend going with a bronze. silver, gold, or platium rated

[pallid plinth]

80+ golds are the best for the consumer market, there are plenty to go around for about 70-100 bucks

totally worth it

you dont want to skimp out on the very thing that channels hundreds of watts into your pc

[low vigil]

Is it normal to get these marks on your arm from gaming?

[nimble spear]

Could be your wrist rubbing off the mouse mat

[low vigil]

its the table

[low vigil]

The red mark on my palm is from me pushing my hand down, the redc mark on my forearm is from the table corner

[analog latch]

i wish i had a pc this cool

bright side about a microwave pc is that its portable

[low vigil]

When people ask, "ARE YOU PLAYIN ON A FRIKKIN MICROWAVE"

[analog latch]

next i wanna see someone build a pc with a toaster

ok so its real

[unreal tiger]

Lol

Cooked circuits mmmm

[runic plaza]

[pulsar fossil]

Zotac brought a coffee maker with a built-in pc to DreamHack that could still make coffee, haha

[lavish star]

[pulsar fossil]

Was a pretty nice booth

That's from DHW 2018

[lavish star]

[nimble spear]

Oh damn

https://tenor.com/view/why-friends-ross-geller-why-would-you-do-that-gif-4484708

[lavish star]

[pulsar fossil]

No, Danish people are awesome

But I may be somewhat biased there

[nimble spear]

fries and ice cream is the best

the salty and sweetness

[languid ocean]

bro fries with milkshakes are fireeeeee

who agrees

[lavish star]

i never eaten it so mayby it is nice idk

[languid ocean]

[low vigil]

You met Mr. Elgiganten?

Was he a nice guy

[pulsar fossil]

He was :)

[tepid agate]

Hey guys. I have a question. I’m building a budget PC with 16gb ram, a R5 2600 and a 1660 super. What motherboard, power supply, and SSD would you recommend? Also, i’m trying to stick to mostly black and white/silver color scheme, so preferably no bright reds, etc. Thanks

[analog latch]

I'm not an expert in PC building but I'd recommend a ROG board and a corsair power supply.

[tepid agate]

thanks!

[narrow panther]

Should I get a new router? If so, which one you guys recommend, cause I get like 100 ping in games

I am usually a 50 ping player, and that has made me much worse

[fast jewel]

you sure its the router?

try hardwired thru modem

[narrow panther]

I aint sure

I was on xbox for 2 weeks

and then got back on my pc and instead of 50 ping, it doubled

Plus I dont want to do anything to my router, because if you touch it, it disconnects, it is bad router

and my brother has ADHD so if I do that, he gets mad

[fast jewel]

aha. So the solution is to waste money instead of spend 10 mins without wifi.

Interesting

[narrow panther]

Exactly

or else I get beat up

Plus how can I get 19 ping in xbox and when I get back on pc, it goes up to 100 without me and my family members touching it

[fast jewel]

wifi?

also game servers may be spotty

[narrow panther]

I use ethernet

Plus I just want a router for personal use, since my wifi has a lot of family members using it and it might be the cause

[fast jewel]

Oh so you’re now splitting your modem’s entire bandwidth in half

even better

[narrow panther]

Ok

If its better then I might try it

[narrow panther]

Btw what I said is obviously a joke

[icy eagle]

Dude I love this keyboard

Just got it

Oops

Sorry dad

It’s amazing

[analog latch]

[noble oak]

What do you mean same size?

[low vigil]

Dimensions

[pulsar fossil]

Like exact same resolution?

Why?

[low vigil]

I'm going to use it

[pulsar fossil]

For what?

[low vigil]

A game

I can only use transparent crosshairs

Cuz I paste the link

anyone able to help me with an issue im having?

[heavy temple]

What's the point of a beautiful PC case and parts? I mean, sure, it's beautiful, but you can just use a basic case and stuff it under the table and not have to worry about it at all.

[lucid wigeon]

all about aesthetics nowadays

RGB everything

[noble oak]

@heavy temple It really doesn't matter. Not like RGB is going to add fps 😆 . Depends on the person though if you really like a cool looking setup then go for it

[pallid plinth]

i just go "haha mood light"

since im a stupid pink gay dog it's gotta themed about it

[open tusk]

So... My dad is looking at a new monitor

I told him to get a 144hz one..

He says no point

Apparently his GPU wont be able to handle 144 frames... yet he claims all the time to get 100+ in a lot of titles he plays LMFAO

This is the one he is looking at

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/245-iiyama-g2530hsu-b1-black-hawk-g-master-amd-freesync-gaming-monitor-75hz-1920x1080-full-hd-1ms-dp?awaid=15473&utm_source=redbrain&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=css&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzN71BRCOARIsAF8pjfg67eN6_dC8u4m9JwEneEdoYcxSnHChg5lIPSB_P8C6D_7Gezw6up4aAhUtEALw_wcB&utm_source=RedBrain&utm_medium=awin&utm_campaign=Direct+Linking&awc=15473_1589113001_eb3b48082756a297c8324982b420102b

I suggested he gets this one instead.

He is saying he can't afford the extra for a 144hz also btw

[low vigil]

should go for BenQ

or ASUS

[open tusk]

Which of these two would you recommend out of those TWO lol

[fast jewel]

@heavy temple most people buy cases for good airflow, and it just so happens that lots of those cases have rgb

[open tusk]

I personally am not a big fan of BenQ

That said i've only had the lower budget range of BenQ monitors

[low vigil]

@fast jewel ye good airflow > less noise

[fast jewel]

i really liked my benq monitor

good enough color at a good enough price

[open tusk]

I do like Asus however, but i tend to pick up AOC for my price ranges

[low vigil]

it's just a one time purchase

Go for a solid one

[open tusk]

I have this one

1080p ips 1ms 144hz

but yeah, he thinks a 144 hz isnt worth it

I said even just for the case of future proofing incase he upgrades his gpu at some point lmfao

I honestly think that the viewsonic one looks pretty neat for the price tag of it

Have heard good things about the make too

Which one would you go for ?

[eager mural]

Hey

can anyone make me a pc part picker for 1000 that can run good frames for comp fortnite, rainbow, and cs

[fresh nymph]

Just go buy a acer nitro 5 that should cover all your games for around 500-800$ usd

[true charm]

pc* not laptop

watch LTT or Joey Delgado @eager mural in yt

My new keyboard

[sudden karma]

mmmmm peels

[lost cairn]

what do you think oh apex 5 because I want buy it@granite stratus

[restive root]

It's a great keyboard imo

I've reviewed it recently

@lost cairn

@granite stratus Tried uninstalling the software?

[lost cairn]

Thanks

[restive root]

@analog latch here

What's on the while sticker

Or you can just send me a pic to take a look at

[analog latch]

phone is dead

the white sticker is blank

[restive root]

OK, what's the serial number

I can try to search by it

[analog latch]

b1 115l03047

[restive root]

Strange.. Can't find a thing

OK, so... What's the computer system? Could you please send me a model or specs?

[analog latch]

its a lenovo

to clarify its a boomer machine

[restive root]

Do you know what video card it had before?

[analog latch]

it hasnt had a video card

[restive root]

Oh.. So the psu should be around 400w or less.. 😬

[analog latch]

it was a family computer before my brother asked me to modify it

[restive root]

I'm afraid you'll need a bigger one

[analog latch]

thats what i thought

[restive root]

The best for the budget (on microcenter) is 1660 super

It's quite a good gpu, but first... New psu that'd fit in the case. I suggest you to buy something like 500-600W and at least 80+bronze. With this wattage you can use it in future systems too.

[analog latch]

i was thinking about removing the psu earlier but it wont come out

[restive root]

Good brands are SeaSonic, Super Flower, Corsair, Evga

Oh.. :(

[analog latch]

yeah its a built in one

[restive root]

Man.. I think that it won't worth upgrading it.

[analog latch]

yeah

[restive root]

If the cpu is weak and old, it could bottleneck the gpu very much

[analog latch]

it would be pointless to spend good money on parts that dont fit

[restive root]

I absolutely agree

Use it until it dies completely and then go for a better machine :) that's what I'd do

[analog latch]

ive currently got a good machine

the computer was for my brother

[restive root]

Ah, yea

[analog latch]

idk i might just use the case as a paper weight

[restive root]

Or if you go deep into pc building, you can make a "sleeper" in it

[analog latch]

i know a fair amount when it comes to building but i wouldnt call myself an expert

@kindred lodge the specs negate the camerawork

till you did the vertical video 😦

[kindred lodge]

@muted viper lol vertical was phone

And i tried taking more camera shots but started raining

Had to lug my 90lbs potato inside lol

But thanks! I appreciate it

[muted viper]

the fact that you took the time to sync the audio from your yeti is great

[kindred lodge]

Lol i had 0 clue how to do any of that. Took me like 2 days 😂

But from it i figured out what shots i need to get and kind of how to piece stuff better

[muted viper]

took me way longer and im still not sure

[kindred lodge]

Well davinci is what i used and it was great

[muted viper]

YES

it has a great video stabilizer

[static pecan]

@kindred lodge if you're trying to sync audio from a camera mic and an actual mic (like a yeti), I always start with a 3,2,1 countdown and then a loud clap so I can match up both audio spikes in post then just mute the audio track from the camera. That's the easiest way I've found to do it

[nimble spear]

It’s all coming together so nicely

cpu will last you minimum 5 years, max 10 years

ram is also good for a while, ryzen likes faster ram

card is decent, but is a bit weak

dw though if you won't be doing anything too intensive

if you're planning on rendering that cash'll go into a gpu, if you're editing you'll need a beefier cpu, that's why i'm asking

[fast jewel]

also if youre doing anything other than gaming then you need an nvidia gpu

actually if you're doing anything at all you need nvidia lol

[summer pawn]

i just realized that the link doesnt work

@tardy mirage

unless you want a intel build

then there you g

o

amd is better for streaming and editing intel is better if you just want to play video games

[summer pawn]

but honestly i would wait until they offically release the nvidia 3000 series of graphics cards this august

@summer pawn sexy cpu

[dark linden]

For the AMD build I suggest the MSI x570 Tomahawk instead of the Asus, it’s around the same price but has better VRM, hence is better if you want to upgrade the CPU in the future...

As SSD I would use the Barracuda 500GB Nvme for that price...has a higher MTF than the WD. It shouldn’t change the price much...

Graphics cards: avoid Gigabyte, if you can find an MSI Gaming X for that price your hears will thank you for the lack of coil whining...

but I agree for the rest, more o less

[summer pawn]

tru fax

[fast jewel]

or you can just not get an x570

[summer pawn]

that is true

@tulip stump wyd with that build

cuz i could shave off a few hundreds

[fast jewel]

also that gpu is very, very questionable

[low vigil]

rip electric bill

@tough sedge

[summer pawn]

if youre going for a 3900x i would HIGHLY recommend not getting a radeon card and go for a 2070 and up

[pallid plinth]

also no real point in getting a3900x unless you're doing actual work

a 3700x is more than enough

[tough sedge]

@low vigil My growing lights chow most of my electricity

[low vigil]

3900x to keep it future-proof

[fast jewel]

na

[delicate schooner]

Lil upgrade

[pulsar fossil]

Looks great @delicate schooner :)

[delicate schooner]

now just waiting on my other set of ram

and my adapters for my other monitors

[crystal light]

@pallid plinth how much would that cost?

[tough sedge]

your kidney

[summer pawn]

dont forget your lef

leg

[true charm]

dont forget mom's credit card

[pallid plinth]

@crystal light about 300, but if you need even cheaper the cheapest good 7nm chip is the 3600

the 3900x is 12 cores 24 threads, 3700x is 8 cores 16 threads and the 3600 is 6 cores 12 threads

considering they're all on 7nm architecture even the 3600 is beast

the 3700x is already if you'll be overclocking and doing heavy duty stuff

[low vigil]

@delicate schooner h100i?

[delicate schooner]

Platinum

[low vigil]

@delicate schooner are the fans automatic? or do u have to install a software and set it to optimal or something

[delicate schooner]

iCue

Controls lights and fan speeds

[low vigil]

sheet

ive been using mine forever

without any software

well like 8 months

well mine is Corsair Hydro H100i PRO RGB

not platinum

[fast jewel]

@low vigil are the fans connected to the mobo? if so they are auto

[low vigil]

yeah

x570 aorus pro

[fast jewel]

yea it's auto

can only control them through icue if you have them hooked up to a commander or whatever

[kindred lodge]

3rd build is done! Working on the 4th now!

[low vigil]

respect

[crystal light]

@kindred lodge do you do this full time or is it just a hobby

[kindred lodge]

I'd like to do it full time. That's the goal im trying to reach haha right now it's just a hobby

[crystal light]

So do you do it for friends or like just build cause you like it

[kindred lodge]

I do both 😁

This is my biggest achievement tho:

My goal is to have a custom PC business🙂

[crystal light]

That thing is insanely cool

Do you sell?

[static pecan]

🔥 HOT🔥

[kindred lodge]

I don't make to sell, can't afford that lol. But i do local stuff where i help them plan a build out and then build it for them

[low vigil]

Water coolers are cool

But insanely dangerous

One mistake and your rig is dead

[chilly edge]

not really true but

go on then

liquid cooling isn't that risky

[kindred lodge]

lol, tube came off the other day when i was changing fluid. spilled like a cup full just all over the floor of my case aha

[celest schooner]

difference between intel and AMD in 2020? thoughts on both?

[low vigil]

AMD for CPU
nVidia for GPU

[pallid plinth]

difference between intel and AMD in 2020? thoughts on both?
@celest schooner intel have been underpowering their cpus and overcharging for them, meanwhile amd have been producing fast and high quality cpus for killer prices

there's literally no solid reason to stick to intel these days

i mean, why would i buy a 240 dollar i5 10400 6 core 12 thread cpu from intel that overheats and struggles at any task when i can get a 175 dollar ryzen 3600 6 core 12 thread that is on 7nm instead of 14, is much more efficient and heats up less and even comes with a cooler that's basically enough to cool it in some very, very good tempertures

[celest schooner]

@pallid plinth thanks

[fast jewel]

not only that, but their mobos are also super overpriced

[umbral anvil]

i got a i5 9600k for christmas, but that was only cuz it was $200

and i can oc it pretty well too

plus with intel i could cheap out on the ram a bit, cuz it doesnt need to be 3600 mhz with intel,

AMD needs that high amount of ram to run better in games

[fast jewel]

it doesnt need to be 3600mhz with amd but k

[low vigil]

Cl16 3600 is sexy

[pallid plinth]

it doesnt need to be 3600mhz with amd but k
@fast jewel recommended tho

amd likes fast dual stick ram

[fast jewel]

not quite as important with zen 2 tho

[kindred lodge]

[noble oak]

i have the question can you give me link to the parts for loop lc in the private message? please i want to build pc with the loop lc but i have no idea whats name of this parts

[crystal light]

Does anyone have a pc build for $500 that’ll run war zone, valorant, Fortnite (for my cousin) and csgo on around 144 fps

Fortnite is my main worry tho. My little cousin will be the one playing most of the time

[fast jewel]

that’s asking quite a bit tbh

[pallid plinth]

Does anyone have a pc build for $500 that’ll run war zone, valorant, Fortnite (for my cousin) and csgo on around 144 fps
@crystal light a console would... at 60 fps.

if you want 144 fps on warzone/fortnite, that'll be around 750, 1000 at best

[crystal light]

Alright. I been searching and can’t find anything. I’ll just wait a lil bit longer to get my pc for my little cousin.

[kindred lodge]

@sweet sparrow oh it was awful went through like $140 in tubing lol

@noble oak hey sorry just saw this now, what would you like me to send you?

[noble oak]

Ok thats not problem

This things that required to make own custom loop

I only want to know what i must have to do my own custom loop lc

[noble oak]

Yo

[twin oxide]

my setup

[sudden burrow]

So I've done the math, and for the PC I want to build, I'd be spending around $1300, is that good? What can I cut costs on?

[twin oxide]

uhhh

buy a laptop @sudden burrow

[sudden burrow]

I do have a laptop

I just want to build my own PC that can run high quality games well

Because it's something that interests me, I just don't know how much everything should cost

[twin oxide]

ehhh

just check the games that u play

if its not neccesasary

cut it

if possible

if u want to

im no expert

just thinking rationally

[sudden burrow]

Like, I just want help choosing. Like I don't need any fancy lights, I just want a good graphics card, a powerful core (AMD), a good motherboard, 8 gig of RAM, and a terabyte of storage

[twin oxide]

8 gig ram?

lol didnt u want to run high quality games

usually its 16gig ram

idk

[sudden burrow]

I mean not especially

I can make the upgrade to 16gig RAM

[twin oxide]

u can watch yt vids

[sudden burrow]

Yes I can, and have

I just want more peoples advice

[twin oxide]

uhh

[sudden burrow]

like

is a nvidia GTX 2060 good?

[twin oxide]

uhhh

yes

i think

[vale orchid]

yes rtx 2060 is good for 1080p at 100+ frames

[twin oxide]

wat

[sudden burrow]

Thank you

[twin oxide]

wats the diffrence between an rtx and gtx

[vale orchid]

gtx is old gen

rtx is new gen

[twin oxide]

oh

[sudden burrow]

And really all i need to figure out case, cooling, and motherboard

[twin oxide]

thx info

[vale orchid]

air cooling is fine, no need for liquid unless you overclock and get better specs

[sudden burrow]

Okay, so just fans

[vale orchid]

fans is also cheaper

and easier to maintain

[sudden burrow]

that's good because the core I plan to get comes with a fan

[vale orchid]

what cpu you using

[twin oxide]

amd

[sudden burrow]

its an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 i believe

[vale orchid]

3600

yeah thats good

[sudden burrow]

yeah 3600

I'm just confused about motherboard

and what kind of case I should get

[vale orchid]

motherboard i dont know much about, same with cases

but i dont think they are a big deal, id say its your preference

the case im talking about

[sudden burrow]

Yeah, case i'm just trying to find the right size and a decent design that allows for fans and isn't too ugly

because I don't need all fancy lights

[vale orchid]

get a mid tower, all you really need to figure out is the size of your components

[sudden burrow]

Okay, that's not too hard

I can find a good motheboard

[vale orchid]

one that supports amd

[sudden burrow]

Yep, I just don't know a good brand name

[vale orchid]

theres alot of brands

but idk what to recommend cause i dont know motherboards that much

[sudden burrow]

I'll just do my own research for that that'll be fine

[vale orchid]

alright

[lavish kraken]

what motherboard can go with a 9th gen cpu i7 9700K

[sudden burrow]

I just did some research and if you want a just as good or better core, go for AMD Ryzen

[vale orchid]

yeah

i think amd is better for single core performance than intel

[tough sedge]

gaming= Intel > AMD workload= Intel < AMD

[toxic briar]

Hello
I have a problem with pc namely my case is very hot even though the components do not exceed 60 degrees

im only on desktop this is normal ?

[toxic briar]

my computer is just dying [*]

[pallid plinth]

@sudden burrow 1300 dollars for a pc is very nice

what u gonna be playing- newer games? older games? open world? etc

and are you gonna be doing any serious work on it- 3d modeling, video making/rendering, etc?

gaming= Intel > AMD workload= Intel < AMD
@tough sedge amd is just better in any scenario

it performs better, cheaper and has better temps

just because an intel core is about 5 percent faster in single core tests doesnt mean it's viable

it heats up a lot and it's not worth the price

you can get a 12 core cpu from amd ryzen for the price of an 8 core cpu from intel

plus it's 7nm vs 14, making a lot more efficient

[nimble spear]

i have the best community yet! cannot wait to see this baby

[kindred lodge]

Looks great!

[lucid wigeon]

@lavish kraken just look at the socket type on the page it’s being sold, most likely LGA 1151 as that’s the most often used intel one, then look for a mobo that has that socket

[fast jewel]

@toxic briar that’s perfectly normal

warm case = good cooling

[toxic briar]

@fast jewel thx now im feel much better

[low vigil]

@fast jewel cold case = bad cooling?

[fast jewel]

No

[low vigil]

Lol how does warm case mean it's a good cooler

[fast jewel]

means heat's dissipating into the case

not necessarily good cooler, just good enough cooling

[twin oxide]

Just put an air conditooner in it

It work better than any coolings

[static pecan]

Just build the PC inside the air conditioner

[dense pivot]

put your pc inside a fridge, easy fix

[static pecan]

But it has to be a Samsung Smart Fridge otherwise the PC won't work

[pallid plinth]

What u gonna be doing with that PC @lavish kraken

[lavish kraken]

gaming

And making vids/streams

Well im actually changing it up a bit!

so that isnt the final result

[fast jewel]

@lavish kraken you don’t need water cooling

also if you’re streaming or making vids you probably want a geforce 16 or 20 series card

also dont need an x570

but that’s less important

[lavish kraken]

but i said i was changing it :(

[rancid wasp]

Should i?

Thinking of doing the arctis 3s

[lavish kraken]

no

go all out

get apex pro tkl

or any apex pro

get the best steel series mouse and headset

@fast jewel yo

Yesterday I shut down my computer

Today I turned it on but the monitor wouldn't open up but the pc fans would spin at max speed

[fast jewel]

hmm

[low vigil]

I waited like 10 seconds like that

Turned off from back off my pc the 1-0 switch

Cus power button didn't work

And then waited 10 sec, turned on the 1-0 button

Then powered it onv

And it worked

Is it because the computer hadnt shut down properly?

[fast jewel]

weird

Maybe? probably not

[low vigil]

I always press shift and shutdown to make sure windows 10 shutdowns properly

At first I was worried the liquid cooler had leaked something but now I'm glad it works

[fast jewel]

Yeah lol i was about to start asking if you had a beeper...

Glad it works tho lol

[low vigil]

I have my pc leaned against a wall, not touching but close and the front and back are enclosed but I still have some space

should I have more space on the front or back

right now there is more gap on the back, where the cables are connected

@fast jewel

[fast jewel]

You’ll probably want more space in the back and front, but if your cooling is fine don’t worry about it

also why shift + shutdown? @low vigil

[low vigil]

windows 10 needs to be shutdown like that

https://lifehacker.com/shutting-down-windows-10-doesnt-actually-shut-down-wind-1825532376

@low vigil shouldn’t really have to though

will give that a read a bit later but for now i need some sleep

[hazy horizon]

I to upgrade my moniters

Both are old and only 60hz

[vale orchid]

everything is a big up flex but the monitors are lowkey lackin, i love it though

[hazy horizon]

yeah

monitors are shit

i wish i had 144hz monitors

[vale orchid]

how much are they? i bought a 144hz monitor for 700 AUD

[hazy horizon]

idk

gona wait untill next gen comes out

then im gona upgrade everything

[vale orchid]

seems reasonable

[hazy horizon]

i would be fine with 1440p and 144hz

[vale orchid]

ye that’s what i have

[hazy horizon]

im gona do work in the summer so i can buy stuff

i only have the valve index cuz i was lucky and unboxed a expensiv item in tf2

[vale orchid]

oooooo

[hazy horizon]

did you see the flex with my dead steelseries artics pro

lol

[vale orchid]

lol

[hazy horizon]

they broke two day after i got them so annoying

[vale orchid]

why what happened

[hazy horizon]

the gamedec died when i touched it

[vale orchid]

what LOL

[hazy horizon]

windoes is saying unkownen usb

i touched the cable abit on it to move it then dead

[vale orchid]

you gotta get in contact with steelseries or return it

i just ordered the arctis pro gamedac

so hopefully i don’t get the same problem

[hazy horizon]

i got them on sale

[vale orchid]

same i got it for 70 $ off

[hazy horizon]

i swithed from razer cuz my nari ultimate broke the same day i got it

look on the video

[vale orchid]

bruh windows is not accepting it

bruh have you tried force connecting on the steelseries engine

[hazy horizon]

it was accpeting it earlier today

[vale orchid]

oh

[vale orchid]

hmmm idk it seems complicated

that’s honestly weird

[hazy horizon]

i was chating with my friends was about to play dbd and was gona turn upp the voulme on it to scar them and then it happend

[vale orchid]

what the

[hazy horizon]

if im geting new one i might aswell get the wireless ones cuz it was annoying with wire

keeps twisting

[vale orchid]

i wanted to get the wireless one but people say that there is white noise when no game or music is playing

white noise is like a static noise that happens and apparently it’s loud it’s hard to block out

[hazy horizon]

im used to that

i think

[vale orchid]

really??

[hazy horizon]

idk google meet does that

have earing damges

lol

[vale orchid]

lol

[hazy horizon]

hearing*

[vale orchid]

i mean everything is great but the white noise is not a selling point, i’d say a huge flaw for me which led me to the arctis pro gamedac

[hazy horizon]

if i got the wireless and it makes that sound im gona be so mad

[vale orchid]

yeah it’s really expensive so yeah

[hazy horizon]

gona game end

what does youtubers say about the arctis pro headphones

my friend just told me these was the best on market and i bought them

[vale orchid]

yeah the gamedac i’d say is the best out of the 3, the normal arctis pro and arctis pro wireless are good but the normal arctis pro doesn’t come with features like the gamedac and wireless

but then wireless has the white noise

[hazy horizon]

but what does the internet say what are the best gameing headphones

[vale orchid]

so a lot of you tubers said that arctis 7s were better than the arctis pro series

and the internet says that out of the three arctis pro the gamedac is the best

i’ve seen so far

[hazy horizon]

i gona have to use my skullcrucher or what tey called headphones

they dont have suround sound and i just goten used to it agian

i have some old razer headphones that work fine but i stop useing it cuz discrod doesnt like it

[vale orchid]

alright

[hazy horizon]

everyone sounds like robots

it worked fine with discrod before but like 4months ago it stoped

[vale orchid]

huh... that’s really weird

[hazy horizon]

if i talk on steam its fine

the mic is fine on discrod so for the past 4 months i had to use 2 headsets to talk

[reef coral]

Same thing happened with my Arctis 5 recently

Very annoying

[hazy horizon]

one for the mic only and one to hear people

[vale orchid]

damn even the arctis 5s???

[vale orchid]

that pc specs is on the low side, and id say you’d be averaging around 80+ or lower but that’s good for 1080 and 720p gaming. you’d probably have to upgrade your pc really soon. id say you save up for a better graphics card. I know you may not have the money but it will last for 5 years or more. I recommend that you at least get a Ryzen 5 3600 but your cpu is fine and the graphics card a 1660 ti or supper would be fine. everything other than that is fine i’d say

@mystic raft Couldn't tell ya

Mmm. I ask 'cause I put in an order for a Q variant on Best Buy and wanted to know what the differences were.

[noble oak]

@vale orchid That is the pc i'm looking to buy. I'n going to have 2 of these monitors https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1486909-REG/asus_23_8_vp249he_full_hd.html And I'm just going to be making yt vids and maybe stream sometimes. I can still change it buy I'm on i tight budget

the respons time is 5 ms witch isnt the best but its 1080p and 144hz if im correct

[vale orchid]

are you getting two of those

monitors

[noble oak]

Yes

Is that a good idea or should i look for different ones

[vale orchid]

yeah that is a good monitor. Though you say streaming + editing, editing would be fine it will just take long but when gaming and streaming you will experience frame drops

[noble oak]

By my specs if i wasn't streaming could you get an average FPS on maybe Warzone?

[vale orchid]

yeah i think 60fps? i’m not sure, if you fine tune the settings on war zone you could get higher. But playing warzone would be hard because it’s not a very optimized game.

[noble oak]
