#

I mean 60 c isn’t bad at all

crimson scroll Jul 18, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

but performance will translate over in the same way

#

also that's delta, not absolute temp

#

so it's 60c + whatever ambient is in their testing, which is 21

clear jacinth Jul 18, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

oh so 81

crimson scroll Jul 18, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

that means the corsair a500 is absolute garbage compared to the others

#

because of its coldplate levelness

that's an air cooler btw

clear jacinth Jul 18, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

oh lol

crimson scroll Jul 18, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

anyways, there are no lower tier cpus tested here, only intel hedt and amd hedt

#

reason being you don't generate enough heat to really warrant the AIO with the other chips

#

so price/performance it makes sense to go air

#

but like you said, potentially less maintenance, and aesthetics are up to the user

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 3:27 PM

@humble oar if you're getting a 2070s why not get a 5700xt? It's $100 cheaper and matches or beats the 2070 super in every benchmark

@static pecan my plan is to have 2070 super until i make enough money to swap to 2080ti

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 3:53 PM

Then you could put that $100 you'd save with a 5700XT towards the 2080TI lol

lucid sandal Jul 18, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

the 5700XT is cheaper

#

nearly the same

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

You can find a triple fan 5700XT for under $400 from XFX meanwhile the cheapest 2070 super is $500 or more for a dual fan

#

And in basically every game the two cards are within 5-10 FPS of one another which you'll never be able to actually notice when gaming

crimson scroll Jul 18, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

some people don't want to deal with driver issues

#

personally i would also pick the 5700xt

#

but a lot of people have had a lot of issues, even with the newest driver fixes

clear jacinth Jul 18, 2020, 8:02 PM

I'm getting a 2060s over a 5700xt because I wanna use raytracing in some games (forza horizon 4 and some other games)

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 8:11 PM

The driver issues are apparently mostly based on what card you get. According to the reviews I've read of the XFX card no one has has reported having driver issues using that particular card

do you know how it died?

#

or just outta nowhere

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

I'm one of the unlucky hundreds or thousands of people that get an Nivida card that literally can just stop wanting to output a video signal

#

I did some research and apparently this issue goes back to at least the 950 and all the way up to the 2080TI. Sometimes the card will just stop outputting a signal out of nowhere even if you don't mess with any ports or wiring

#

My card died in the middle of a game lol

clear jacinth Jul 18, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

oof

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

There's hundreds of posts about the issue on the Nvidia forums

#

But on top of that I've had so many issues with Shadowplay refusing to work despite multiple reinstalls of both GeForce Experience and the drivers themselves, I've had problems with the drivers making pretty much all of my games crash, and just a bunch of little issues and inconveniences that have amounted to me absolutely hating this card

#

My old RX460 has never had this many issues. In fact, I've never really had any issues with it at all + that card is OCd and still going strong after 4 years of pretty heavy use

noble oak Jul 18, 2020, 8:26 PM

Building a PC right now and I’m looking at GPU’s I’m planning on getting a Asus rog strix 2070 super, anyone have a review on that?

clear jacinth Jul 18, 2020, 8:27 PM

it's good if u want to use raytracing in 1080p/1440p and maybe 4k, but if you don't want to use it you can better go with a rx 5700 xt

static pecan Jul 18, 2020, 8:28 PM

It basically comes down to this: Is Raytracing worth an extra $100 to you? @noble oak

noble oak Jul 18, 2020, 8:30 PM

Yea, I’m trying to get a decent gaming experience but not spend too much money. I’m planning on getting the $439.99 instead of the $539.99 super overclocking.

lucid wigeon Jul 19, 2020, 11:13 AM

#

you will not get a performance boost in most games and is a waste of money

#

may even impact your performance

#

sli is meant for two mid range gpus to perform like a high end gpu

#

and then the performance boost is usually around 20% for double the price

clear jacinth Jul 19, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

not every game supports SLI

#

or amd’s crossfire

lucid wigeon Jul 19, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

exactly, it’s actually pretty rare to find a game that supports it

static pecan Jul 19, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

SLI and CrossFire are both pretty much dead at this point. Nvidia only supports it in the 2080 and up (I think) and even then most games don't use it and for most people (unless you're working in 3D modeling software or something every day) don't see a performance increase. Of course, if you just have a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket you can buy two GPUs and use one for running games and one as a dedicated video encoder for OBS or something if you stream a lot.

pallid plinth Jul 19, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Browns are tactile and relitively quiet, linears dont have any feedback. It's abot ho you want it to feel, not sound.

clear jacinth Jul 19, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

well I asked about the smoothness, not the sound

static pecan Jul 19, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

To me browns feel better because they give that little bit of tactile feel without being loud and stiff like blues. Reds just feel too mushy for me to be comfortable typing with

#

Honestly it really is just personal preference though and if we were still in 2019 I'd say go out to a Best Buy or other tech store that has keyboards on display for you try out so you can see what feel you like the best, but that's not possible right now

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:15 AM

Does this mean my computer has 4 fans

#

Fractal design meshify dark tg has
*Two pre-installed Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 120 mm fans

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

It's a cpu fan and 3 case fans

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

And I bought Corsair ML140 pro

#

But they also sent this

📎 IMG_20200720_061400.jpg

#

Is this from the towers stock fan

#

They built the pc for me

#

It says the case follows with 2 ok. Then I bought one ml140 ok that's 3. Now when I look inside the pc I see 4 fans. 2 on top, 1 front and 1 rear. And now this extra fan in my hand

#

That makes it 5

#

Can someone who's not stupid like me explain how this makes sense

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

What cpu cooler do you have?

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

@median rivet Corsair hydro h100i pro RGB

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:22 AM

#

There's 2 more fans for ya

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:22 AM

#

Lol how

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

2 on the rad, 2 by default in case, 1 ML140 and the bonus one wouldn't fit

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

Oh the CPU coolers are the 2 fans on the top right @median rivet

#

Cus the blades are white

#

That's how I recognize

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah I reckon so

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

So it's actually one front and one back

#

And I assume they removed one stock

#

Since that's the one I have in my hand

#

And the replaced it with the ml140

#

Correct? @median rivet

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

Yeah

#

I think

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

📎 IMG_20200720_060649.jpg

#

This is the fan on the front

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

That'll be the ml140

low vigil Jul 20, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Noicee

#

Now this puzzle makes sense

#

I've been thinking about this for a year

#

And the one on the back is the case default fan

median rivet Jul 20, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

Yeah should be

#

They swapped out the one at the front with the ml140 so they just gave you the default one (that they took out) as a spare

@lusty palm You could save some money by going with G Skill Trident Z RGB for $87. It's 3200mhz with a CAS of 16 which will actually perform a bit better than the CAS 18 Vengeance you have now. You can also save an additional $120 by going with the XFX Rx5700XT for $380 instead of a 2070 Super. You get the same FPS in games, and since you aren't playing anything that has Raytracing there's really no reason to spend an extra $100 just for an Nvidia card

what is the benifit of 3600 speed ram to 3200 speed?

clear jacinth Jul 20, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

it's basically faster

#

not much though, but if you're going with ryzen i'd suggest getting 3200 mhz

wicked river Jul 20, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

ok

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

well

#

speed isn't everything

#

you need to watch out for latency too

#

3200 cl16 is roughly equivalent to 3600 cl18

wicked river Jul 20, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

and also whats the diffrence between a modular and non modular psu 😅

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

ram can get kinda complicated, like not going over 3733mhz for ryzen infinity fabric

#

modular means no cables come preattached

#

the psu will come with a bunch and you plug in what you need

wicked river Jul 20, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

3200 cl16 is roughly equivalent to 3600 cl18
@crimson scroll ok thanks

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

semimodular means the 24 pin and 8 pin connectors are fixed on the psu, you can attach peripheral/sata/pcie cables as you need

#

nonmodular means every cable is fixed on the psu

wicked river Jul 20, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

so modular means you only use the connections you need

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

modular can give a cleaner look and is easier to cable manage, but semimodular is usually cheaper, and only has what you need anyways, since you absolutely need the 24pin and 8pin cpu

#

and yeah that's correct

wicked river Jul 20, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

👍

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

also

#

when we're talking about ram speeds like 3200, 3600, etc

#

those aren't stock speeds, those are factory rated overclocks

#

you have to enable XMP otherwise you'll probably be running at 2400 or 2666

wicked river Jul 20, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

oh

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:10 PM

corsair vengeance

golden hamlet Jul 20, 2020, 6:14 PM

we think the start of the issue is two sticks of ram was 3200 and other two were 3000

#

so it may have messed up bios

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

it should just lower the speeds to the slower kit but maybe

golden hamlet Jul 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

Yeah thats what everyone said, but like it wouldn't allow me to go into bios or anything. Monitors wouldn't connect but PC was running

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

did you try clearing cmos

golden hamlet Jul 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

thats the battery yes?

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

then xmp would probably reset and you'd have four sticks at stock

#

yeah the watch battery

golden hamlet Jul 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yes we did

#

it took going down to 1 8g stick to get into bios then defaulting in bios

#

but it took quite a bit of trial and error for such a simple process

crimson scroll Jul 20, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

sounds out of my pay grade haha, that's a good troubleshooting method to go down to one stick though ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hopefully tonight is just plug and play 🤞

other than that, looks good

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F34DYH the matx thing doesn't matter that much, but you might as well get a bigger board for expansion slots and such since your case supports it. and it'll look nicer instead of looking empty.

put the rad up top, add a fan on the bottom

Any recommendations on a 240mm AIO? I’ve been looking at NZXT Kraken coolers but didn’t know if there was a better one out there.

#

Or should I invest in a better CPU? I currently have a R5 2600. I know the AIO is for higher performing CPUs but didn’t know what I should do first

wet sequoia Jul 21, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

The krakens are pretty expensive but I’ve heard good things I was looking into an x63 cuz it wasn’t a bad price but I wanted a white build so I went with Corsair

crimson scroll Jul 21, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

liquid freezer II if you can find it msrp

#

ek 240 aio also good

#

those two are chart toppers for noise normalized performance

the krakens are fine, just loud for same performance

storm umbra Jul 21, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

Ok

wet sequoia Jul 21, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

As for that I’d upgrade cpu first tbh the 2600 isn’t bad but go to say a ryzen 7 3700 and you’ll be doing way better off in the cpu department the ryzen 5 3600 is also a great cpu I loved it

@crimson scroll definitely has more info on coolers than me cuz I’m still learning

unless you're doing high overclocking, it won't matter that much. Cooler is better, but they'll mostly all be adequate

so then you're just looking at price

why should you get corsair fans

You can sell em

They are j u i c y

#

they look amazing

wet sequoia Jul 21, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

Cuz of the Corsair LL120 that are on the rad @crimson scroll

#

I was worried about the rad air being grabbed from the case but if I get an intake right above it I should be fine right lol

#

I’m not too worried about thermals tbh just as long as it doesn’t die

crimson scroll Jul 21, 2020, 5:22 AM

ideally you pull in cold air from outside the case

I rather have +2 degrees than a ugly boi

wet sequoia Jul 21, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

I’ll have the AER rgb ones on the bottom for exhaust as the rgb is one sided

#

Get regular fans for the top to draw air in front the top

#

Hopefully wirh air coming form the top that’s the air the fans on the rad will grab at least the top one will

#

Overall I think it should be ok

I hate the keys

📎 image0.png

#

Left side has these profile keys

#

I had to make sure I didn’t press them when I tried the board out at the convention

#

Also the keys feel awful they are like flat keys and the click I just didn’t enjoy

#

There almost felt like there was no resistance on the key strokes it just felt wrong it screamed gamer no no

#

Overall I just didn’t like the board review over

craggy bear Jul 21, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

Can you compare the switches to anything?

wet sequoia Jul 21, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

Imagine switches with no resistance spray some WD-40 on there and add keyclicksoundeffect.mp4 Every time you pressed it

#

Jk it just didn’t have the amount of resistance I like in my keys

#

The keys from what I remember also felt rather unstable like you could press down the corner of a key but the opposite corner wouldn’t move

#

I I tried it back in October but I’m trying my best to remember everything I can about it

#

I just remember them sometimes being unstable on a click

Unless you're buying a B450 that's been sitting on a shelf for 6 months you shouldn't have a problem

storm umbra Jul 21, 2020, 9:38 PM

If you’re getting second or third gen Ryzen the majority of the b450s shouldn’t need a bios update.

#

First gen too

#

They should say if they’re 2nd/3rd gen ready

If you have the money get a b450 tomahawk Max

Or upgrade to A b550

Great boards

Tomahawk is a solid board

#

Probably best price to performance board. Great features for the price

noble oak Jul 22, 2020, 7:42 AM

Tomahawk does NOT come with WiFi and Bluetooth in it so you have to buy a WiFi card.

Is AMD better than Intel CPUs?

static pecan Jul 23, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

Depends what for. AMD has all around better value and performance per dollar but Intel's highest end i7 and i9 CPUs can still pull out ahead of AMD chips in gaming. If you want to do anything besides just gaming like live streaming or video encoding then AMD is the way to go

#

Honestly though it's almost impossible for anyone to notice the FPS difference between an AMD and Intel CPUs in games since the GPU does most of the work

elfin zealot Jul 23, 2020, 7:51 PM

Is AMD better than Intel CPUs?

#

the part selection is fine, they could just save some money, like 50-70 bucks probably

How/where could I get the 2tb for the same price?

crimson scroll Jul 23, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

And with that money I'd go to a nicer monitor, the 5700xt is overkill for 1920 144hz

#

You'd get a wd blue or Seagate compute for 50-60

#

Most people aren't gonna notice the difference between the blue and the black

#

Unless you have a special use case for this computer involving heavy video editing and transfer

#

In which case you'd want a second ssd anyways

What’s a compute?

And any monitors you recommend?

crimson scroll Jul 23, 2020, 10:55 PM

crimson scroll Jul 23, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

Seagate does have worse reliability than wd according to backblaze, so go wd if you're worried

#

Because that's an nvme ssd and these are hard drives

hallow falcon Jul 23, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

But the hard drives are still put inside the pc like the ssd? What are the differences between an nvme ssd and a hard drive.

crimson scroll Jul 23, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Yes

#

You put internal hard drives inside

#

A hard drive uses a head to read/write magnetic disks

#

An ssd has no moving parts, it's all flash storage, kind of like a USB stick

#

There are different kinds of SSDs. 2.5 inch and m.2 2280 refer to physical dimensions

#

Sata and nvme refer to protocols

#

Nvme drives will be m.2 but not all m.2 drives are nvme

#

Sata has slower read/write but for most people, you won't take advantage of the speeds of nvme

#

However, the price gap is small enough that you might as well get the faster drive. New games may start to make use of that speed anyways, and there are less cables to manage with an M.2 drive

@nova bough I'd recommend an R5 3600 and any kind of ATX B450 board that has good VRM cooling and is cheap. For a GPU I'd go with either an RX5600 or GTX 1660TI, 16GB of DDR4 RAM that's at least 3000mhz or higher (AMD CPUs like fast ram), at least an 80+ Gold rated PSU that's at least 200 watts above what PCPartPicker says all of the components will draw, and whatever cheap ATX case that has the features you want and good cooling
