take the gpu out
low vigil
Clr_cmos didn't fix it either :(
CLR_CMOS manual
I guess I have to send it in for repair
naive dagger
Uh oh
low vigil
Unless a genius here can help me
naive dagger
Not me lol
unborn kiln
Unless a genius here can help me
@low vigil I am no genius but can you tell me the issue?
low vigil
@unborn kiln pc starts but no info on monitor, problem arised yesterday
crimson scroll
I forgot if you said this but you just reseated the ram, right
Didn't unplug anything else
low vigil
@crimson scroll I just released them, cleaned and put it back into its place
I've got 3 new cables now
crimson scroll
How exactly did you clean them
low vigil
Dp hdmi and VGA
crimson scroll
Apart from heatsinks getting dusty maybe they shouldn't need cleaning
low vigil
With an earwax cleaner
Im gonna try these now
The monitor works if you're asking that
elfin zealot
a cotton bud
crimson scroll
well, if that's the case, make sure none of the fibers got caught on the contacts i guess
for future reference, you generally want to use compressed air because you're not touching anything and there's a lower risk of you leaving cloth or paper fibers somewhere
low vigil
I've tried HDMI now
Tried connecting to both graphics card and Motherboard
No result
Let's try the brand new dp cable now
Nope didnt work
Must be something wrong with the motherboard
@crimson scroll what do u reckon
Bricked motherboard ?
crimson scroll
maybe
crimson scroll
have you tried testing different sticks and in different slots
crimson scroll
k
crimson scroll
no need to be rude
low vigil
@crimson scroll sorry
rich sedge
any advice for cable management?

Is the Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB) a good SSD
hexed grove
Seems good 👍
Is this your first PC?
Man, everything has gone to shit in price
Which sucks
Compel
Change your SSD to the Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB)
@rich sedge
Cheaper
crimson scroll
@rich sedge zip ties or velcro straps help a lot
also, a 3600 and motherboard would probably be cheaper than the intel i5 you picked. with a 1660 super, you're not going to be hitting the points where you'd see meaningful fps differences
hexed grove
I've decided to get this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MQ468S8/ref=twister_B08DMJ77L3?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 SSD instead
since the other one has hecka tons of bad reviewsw
this one has more features
and it fits well with my build, since my build is black
crimson scroll
it'll go on sale frequently for around 130
the non heatsink version
you won't really need the heatsink unless you're constantly transferring very large files
pulsar fossil
@lament sand there's lots of videos on YouTube about building a wall pc. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fq36a9_-GU
So there's lots of ways of doing it
lament sand
I just want to put it on a shelf on the wall and I already have precise ideas, I only need a wireless mouse and keyboar
pulsar fossil
Ah okay
noble oak
Man it's been a rough week
Some day soon I'll have my cpu block so I can get on with the build
clear jacinth
with water and food
noble oak
water and food xD
what is water and food
i live off the universes energy and rgb
@low vigil oh it works just fine im just waiting for a waterblock for my 3900x so i can finish the setup
unfortunately with the current world health crisis its going to be a while
@clear jacinth that 2080Ti right there is like a Juicebrick its the caprisun of this pc
unfortunately my arctic pros have a crack in them right around the hinge
crimson merlin
O:
sinful crypt
@crimson scroll how much of a performance boost would getting 3600 ram over my current 3000?
crimson scroll
not much probably
depends on the subtimings and what cpu you're using
but for the most part upgrading other stuff will have a larger benefit
sinful crypt
i9-9900k
Theres not much for me to upgrade honestly, the 2080 TI, the CPU, the 2 SSDs
What else would I look at?
crimson scroll
i mean, if you want to, go for it i guess
get some samsung b die and overclock it
rich sedge
yo i chose new stuff
crimson scroll
i still disagre with that 970 evo plus choice like the other guy
rich sedge
why
crimson scroll
you can get a p1 for like 109 or a sn750 for 130 and you won't notice the difference unless you do large video transfers frequently
and even then, the sn750 is very comparable to the 970 evo plus
also, i'd pick a 3600 and b450/b550 motherboard over a 9600k and z390
sinful crypt
Damn, websites lists corsair CMW32GX4M4C3200C14 is overclockable, but i have the CMW32GX4M2C3000C15
crimson scroll
i mean
you can still try overclocking it
also, that link doesn't have everything
my sku is f4-3400c16q2-64gtz, but the only tridentz listed on there is f4-3400c16d-32gtz
and mine is confirmed bdie by thaiphoon burner
sinful crypt
crimson scroll
if you click all kits it might show
sinful crypt
lemme check
crimson scroll
i'm gonna guess it's not bdie though, since it's 3000cl15
crimson scroll
if you wanna do the enthusiast thing and squeeze out an extra 1% yeah
sinful crypt
it states its "overclocked memory" on the page
crimson scroll
because it is
JEDEC spec is not that high
it's why you have to enable XMP to get 3000 or 3200 or most advertised speeds
they default to a safe voltage and frequency and timings defined by the manufacturer. motherboard makers work with the ram manufacturers to establish QVL that makes sure stuff is compatible, and at what speeds and voltages and timings. The list isn't the end all though, you can get stuff that's not on the list that works with your motherboard, since they can't test everything. In the same vein, you can usually also push your ram harder than they do since they want to make the list as accessible as possible
crimson scroll
yeah, it's fine
rich sedge
ok
rich sedge
remember kids rgb = more fps
crimson merlin
😆 lmao
rich sedge
you shouldn't buy a laptop
laptops run slower than desktops and cost the same amount as building a desktop
candid tangle
rich sedge
oh yeah
pulsar fossil
You also need to remember that you can't compare the price of a laptop directly against a desktop PC
A laptop includes a screen, keyboard and mouse
rich sedge
o
yeah
you would need to buy peripherals and a webcam
with a desktop
while laptops have included peripherals and webcam
unborn kiln
But remember a laptops keyboard and mouse will not be sufficient for gaming...
rich sedge
that aswell
unborn kiln
No 100%
Some keyboards def works for gaming
@pulsar fossil
rich sedge
a steelseries mouse
pulsar fossil
I disagree @unborn kiln
unborn kiln
With?
pulsar fossil
That a laptop keyboard isn't fine for gaming
unborn kiln
I was agreeing with you on that point
There are 100% laptops with a sufficient keyboards
pulsar fossil
Ahh, fair. Just misunderstood you then :)
unborn kiln
No problem I see why
pulsar fossil
i have been saving for a new laptop does anyone know a company or a good budget gaming laptop
@noble oak what's your budget?
The Asus Zephyrus G14 have been getting great reviews
static pecan
The new TUF A15 is also pretty good
unborn kiln
Still wouldn't really buy one unless its a portability issue. Just my opinion
pulsar fossil
Yeah, you can get it with an R7, 1440hz, 1TB ssd, RTX 2060 and a 90WHr battery for 1350 usd
rich sedge
Yeah, you can get it with an R7, 1440hz, 1TB ssd, RTX 2060 and a 90WHr battery for 1350 usd
@pulsar fossil 1,440HZ?!

@bronze ferry DM me I could potentially be of assistance.
Otherwise just continue with what you need over here

That is extremely nice of you !! thank you :)
unborn kiln
Whats your specs?
clear jacinth
amd a8-9600 4 core processor, gt 1030 2gb vram gpu, 8gb ddr4 2666mhz ram
unborn kiln
Nice looks like its coming along
unborn kiln
CPU next?
unborn kiln
Nice that sounds solid
Personally I went for the g sklill 16GB
clear jacinth
they were 64 euro's, they were very cheap imo so I thought I'd just buy them
unborn kiln
Yeah
But they are solid
pulsar fossil
Have a friend whos PC specs are: i7-4770, 16GB DDR3, R9 380X 4G, 650W PSU.
Wouldn't a GPU upgrade with a 2070 Super be a good choice?
static pecan
Since the CPU is older I think an RX5700XT would be a better choice. MSRP is about $100 cheaper than a 2070 Super for the same performance
unborn kiln
The Radeon gpus are better imo
static pecan
When compared directly against a 2070 Super there's no noticeable difference in performance between the two. The only reason I can think of for paying $100 more is to get Raytracing which is still pretty gimmicky at this point and also still an FPS killer even with DLSS 2.0
unborn kiln
Raytracing is the only big diff
rich sedge
nvm
static pecan
Plus the 5700XT absolutely wrecks the 2070 Super in Vulkan games lol
pulsar fossil
Nvenc is a big factor
sharp rover
Howdy
static pecan
Maybe, but honestly for just saving clips through ReLive AMDs encoder isn't a noticeable difference. If you're trying record or stream with OBS, however, then it might make some difference
I guess it comes down to is NVENC worth an extra $100
sharp rover
Got an rtx 2070 super to go with my i5 9600k 😎
rich sedge
hello
pulsar fossil
Nice @sharp rover
sharp rover
Thanks man!
With the death stranding code. Even thought it doesnt work and nvidia support is a pain in the butt
rich sedge
i dont understand why do i find rtx 2070 builds on pc part picker with a i5 9600k and it is like 1,115$
sharp rover
Im not sure @rich sedge
sharp rover
I had to underclock my gpu because it draws too much power
And psu keeps crashing the pc
sharp rover

How much is what@noble oak ?
Depends on the model
Also depends on which country you're in
The US?
I haven't tried it so make sure to check reviews

im thinking of buying a 2 tb hdd for 120$ less the price than a 1 tb ssd so i can use the money i saved from the ssd to upgrade my gpu
also
e
static mountain
xd
crimson scroll
a 2tbhdd for 120 is a scam
oh, 120 less
yeah the ssd you had was overpriced anyways, you should still get an SSD for your OS though
it's a huge difference, even if you get a sata 550/500 drive
rich sedge
so no ssd is fine?
naive dagger
i think having an ssd of some sort is much better
naive dagger
its fine not to have one, yes
crimson scroll
i mean, it's fine not to have one, but it would be weird not to, especially at that price point
it's such a quality of life improvement
clear jacinth
^
clear jacinth
I have 3.2tb of storage (3 different ssd’s) O-o
crimson scroll
in a similar vein, you shouldn't pair the system you're looking at with only a measly 150/150 hdd
naive dagger
saucy am i still muted by you
naive dagger
That sounds excellent
clear jacinth
I installed new ram, and this showed up 😅 can someone maybe help?
oh and when I press f1 or esc, my pc just shuts down
my mobo supports ddr4 ram so i really don’t know what has happenend
devout wolf
i think it's more of a software issue than hardware
clear jacinth
ok so my old ram does work
this is kinda weird
@crimson scroll do you maybe know what's going on? 😅
lucid wigeon
you're gonna need a windows recovery drive to reinstall windows @clear jacinth
corrupted files is my guess but it can also be driver problems
could also have been malicious files
clear jacinth
in bios?
devout wolf
nah windows recovery options
lucid wigeon
yeah f11
clear jacinth
i don't really understand it, where?
this is what I see in recovery options for windows
clear jacinth
so i need to restart that and then install my new ram?
or before i restart?
I'm just making sure I do the right thing yk
devout wolf
before you restart
clear jacinth
that's not gonna work bc my pc doesn't boot to windows with my new ram
clear jacinth
okay, thank you! I will try after I had dinner :p
clear jacinth
well it didn’t work
rich sedge

clear jacinth
replacing
I had ddr4 kingston 8gb 2666mhz 1 stick and I bought Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb (2x8) 3200mhx DDR4
and my motherboard only has 2 ram slots
devout wolf
hmm, which cpu and motherboard?
clear jacinth
not sure about the motherboard but amd a8 9600 4 cores
devout wolf
doubt it supports 3200mhz
clear jacinth
it’s a prebuilt so idk about most of it
clear jacinth
yeah probably
devout wolf
new platform
clear jacinth
yup
clear jacinth
yeah
zinc root
sad
devout wolf
why sad? ryzen 4th gen is on am4 lmao
but i doubt the mobo can run ryzen or athlon
prebuilt™️ moment
clear jacinth
ikr
zinc root
sad bcz he needs to spend more money :c
clear jacinth
I told my dad the issue but he said the parts weren’t old because I have had it for 3 years
devout wolf
wait
clear jacinth
it’s outdated but he doesn’t believe me smh
zinc root
🤨
zinc root
i have ati radeon hd 3650
rich sedge
bruh
zinc root
sad
clear jacinth
to make it even worse: I have a gt 1030
which works fine for some games but uhh yeah... outdated
zinc root
it can still run some games
not modern one but
you can play lot of games with it
you have good rams
what about purchasing new ryzen apus
4000 series
clear jacinth
well I would if I had money
clear jacinth
nice
zinc root
but my dad wont buy it
pls make your dad buy you a new pc
i know your struggle
i used intel dual core pc for 10 years

clear jacinth
bruh my dad isn’t gonna buy me €1200 pc because my old one is outdated lmao
my dad isn’t rich or something
zinc root
oh
i paid for ryzen 3 1200, a320m-a pro mb and corsair vengeance 8gb 3000mhz sticks 700tl
then just collect money and buy new one by yourself
😎
clear jacinth
gotta take a few years but I’m on it already
clear jacinth
So i've contacted support from the people who I bought the prebuild from, hopefully they can help :p
naive dagger
my new monitor is arriving saturday
rich sedge
im trying to get 750 gb of hdd and 500 gb of ssd is that a good idea?
naive dagger
yes
radiant viper
why not 1,5 tb ssd may I ask
clear jacinth
bc it's more expensive probably
radiant viper
dang makes sense
rich sedge
yeah
crimson scroll
depends on the prices
for example 2tb is pretty close in price to 1tb for consumer drives
and prices aren't linear so a 750gb hdd won't be 3/4 of the price of a 1tb
visual torrent
if you are looking to get a separate ssd, I would recommend getting a NVME drive. Price difference from a typical 2.5" sata drive isnt all that much, but the speed difference is worth it
crimson scroll
most people won't notice the speed difference
but yes, it's nice for when future games make use of it, and the price gap is pretty small right now
crimson scroll
so
it's not just rpm
it's also density
there are 4tb 5400rpm hdds faster than 1tb 7200rpm hdds
devout wolf
crimson scroll
i'm making a lot of slightly pedantic points though
again, your average consumer won't notice, and CMR vs SMR will probably matter more if you're using it for a nas or something
rich sedge
so should i just get a 2 tb hdd and no ssd?
elfin zealot
it’s a keyboard but still
crimson scroll
yeah it's fine
and no, like we said earlier, at this price point we strongly recommend getting an SSD at least for your OS
devout wolf
nah just game from the BIOS
ivory coral
You could transfer your current one to your new drive if you switching to an ssd
devout wolf
you can overclock to some extent on an air cooler too but not in a h510
also if you're overclocking 3rd gen ryzen just don't bother
leave it to PBO and call it a day
crimson scroll
in general, yes, water cooling is better than air cooling, especially for overclocking. You'd be looking at 240+ rads though; the 120/140mm clcs are generally worse than air coolers for the same price
devout wolf
^^
crimson scroll
also the question was worded kind of weirdly lol
crimson scroll
maybe
devout wolf
lmao
devout wolf
hum, same price as the arctic liquid freezer ii
crimson scroll
the liquid freezer II is great and i recommend it with several caveats
one, the rad is pretty thick, so check case compatibility
two, it's out of stock frequently and prices get jacked up
so you have to wait for it to be restocked at a fair price
the other good noise/perf aio is the EK aio
devout wolf
for which cpu?
crimson scroll
i mean, if you like the looks of the x53, go for it
you seem pretty hard stuck on it anyways
rich sedge
for which cpu?
@devout wolf a i5 9600k, im going to overclock it
devout wolf
ah okay
crimson scroll
i feel like he's posted his list and asked for suggestions and then hasn't changed his list
crimson scroll
i still don't know why you're picking a 9600k and z390 over a 3600 and b450
balmy grail
that z390 is gonna bottleneck your cpu
crimson scroll
also yeah, a mini itx board in an atx case
microatx you could make a case for, since it can be cheaper
mini itx is usually way more expensive for equivalent features
you're getting a 10-20fps difference in most games, for 40 bucks more on the cpu, and like 60-80 bucks more on the motherboard
devout wolf
question: why 9th gen intel?
a $1200 build calls for a 2070 super
also just spend $10 more on the hdd and you have 2.5x the storage aka 2TB
cv is also a meh psu for the price
go with the 500w be quiet sp11
and and you can buy a 5-pack of arctic fans for $25
instead of 3 separate for $30
crimson scroll
^
rich sedge
ok
crimson merlin
lmaoo
devout wolf
This list is perfect 
crimson scroll
The case I selected will benefit slightly from an extra exhaust
Should be cheaper than the nr600 with fans
Alternatively get the p500a, even bigger for 30 bucks more, and nicer tooling
Though the nr600 is still a very good budget case
If you don't like the look of the phanteks, you can also look at the lian li lancool II mesh or the coolermaster td500

@crimson scroll dont you need a wifi card
rich sedge
i dont wanna get the cord
crimson scroll
Then yeah slap in a wifi card
Wired is better though
Will you notice the difference? Maybe not, but it's cheaper too
rich sedge
i mean im fine with whatever
but i play games like csgo and the 9600k runs faster on it
crimson scroll
Are you gonna go pro
rich sedge
i mean maybe
crimson scroll
I run 1440p with a 2600 and get easily 180+fps every map
A 3600 will only do better
crimson scroll
Yes, more frames is faster response even if your monitor doesn't display that many
rich sedge
thought you might wanna take a look of it
crimson scroll
You're not gonna notice
rich sedge
crimson scroll
User benchmark sucks
They had a ranking where an i3 beat a thread ripper due to single core weighting
rich sedge
bruh
crimson scroll
Try to use sources that have a well defined methodology for how to test
That isn't biased
I know it seems like I'm crapping over all your choices but it's to save you money while keeping your performance roughly the same
rich sedge
ok
devout wolf
Can confirm lol https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/625130094909980694/727523778254602291/Screenshot_20200630-075918_Chrome.jpg

pog
devout wolf
crimson scroll
Heh
devout wolf
userbenchmark is a meme
crimson scroll
Yeah
It's actual benchmark is fine for comparing against the same parts
To see if you're underperforming
devout wolf
yeah
crimson scroll
More of a one stop shop then doing cdi, cinebench, unigine, etc
devout wolf
the gpu part of their benchmark was always glitchy for me
crimson scroll
Ive never used it honestly
rich sedge
do you guys know a good site comparing pc parts?
crimson scroll
Logical increments
crimson scroll
It has pretty good tiers for different price points
But as always, don't copy paste builds
They pick the 3600x for example and there's pretty much zero reason to do that over the 3600
rich sedge
ok
elfin zealot
why you comparing intels top line of cpus to amds 2nd lowest line
devout wolf
just to show how much of a meme userbenchmark is
also ryzen 5 is technically the 3rd lowest if we count Athlon
rich sedge
ill prob just keep the 9600k
narrow parrot
im gonna save to build this pc any changes i could do? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v8wKdm
rich sedge
i mean h510 had some complaints about not good air cooling airflow i think
crimson scroll
i'd get a cheaper SSD like a sn550 (or sn750 if you need the sustained writes for video editing)
and yeah, a different case. the h510 can force airflow if you really like the look, but a mesh front panel case will perform better
rich sedge
yeah
crimson scroll
if you're saving to build though, you may want to re-evaluate the build when you're ready to buy
part prices change all the time
rich sedge
h510 is kind of better for watercooling and stuff right?
rich sedge
o yeah
crimson scroll
up to a certain point, the water can absorb that heat
rich sedge
forgot about that
crimson scroll
and then you need to dissipate it
rich sedge
oh yeah
crimson scroll
if you want to do watercooling, the lian li o11 dynamic/xl is a great choice. bit pricey though
crimson scroll
there's also the phanteks enthoo pro 2, cheaper than the o11 and has very large rad support, but can't fit as many at the same time
rich sedge
wait saucy would this case be good for watercooling? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CbqhP6/cooler-master-masterbox-nr600-wo-odd-atx-mid-tower-case-mcb-nr600-kgnn-s00
the nr600
rich sedge
ok
crimson scroll
it can probably fit some rads but not ideal
crimson scroll
crimson scroll
it's pretty hard to front mount a cpu AIO in the front properly
you want the tubes on the bottom so you don't get bubbles
so it's better to do it on the top, which limits you to 240 or 120
crimson scroll
it would work then
rich sedge
uh
crimson scroll
yeah, they're fine
rich sedge
bruh
i was listening to a mcdonalds ad on spotify and it sounded like they were chanting the devil
crimson scroll
not sure what that has to do with pc building but ok
rich sedge
but do you think a 750 gb hdd and a 500 gb ssd combo would be good for my pc?
crimson scroll
i'm not gonna answer the same questions you've asked
sudden seal
Is the Asus TUF B450-PLUS GAMING out of box compatible with the Ryzen 5 3600?
crimson scroll
very unlikely it would not be @sudden seal , most b450 have been updated now to support zen 2 out of the box
sudden seal
but do you think a 750 gb hdd and a 500 gb ssd combo would be good for my pc?
@rich sedge what are you’re specs?
Or going to be specs
rich sedge
@rich sedge what are you’re specs?
@sudden seal i5 9600k, rtx 2060
sudden seal
And what’s your budget?
crimson scroll
flinck, i've answered that variant of question from him like three times
there's no point
crimson scroll
scroll up and read my answer
sudden seal
In this time I wouldn’t get why you would go with intel
crimson scroll
i have also told him that
sudden seal
Let him so his thing like if he likes waisting money
crimson merlin
rich sedge
im here you too you know
sudden seal
Good
crimson scroll
and?
rich sedge
scroll up and read my answer
@crimson scroll you said good
crimson scroll
doesn't change the fact that this makes three people who have read your build and critiqued the same thing
sudden seal
But what is his budget do we have an answer
crimson scroll
don't know, probably around 1200-1300 based on the initial build
clear jacinth
wait why did u go with a 9th gen i5 @rich sedge
crimson scroll
4 people
clear jacinth
there are so much cheaper amd processors which are also better
sudden seal
That’s a very good question that no ones the sender to
clear jacinth
well maybe not a lot cheaper but around the same price point and better
crimson scroll
anyways it's pretty safe to buy b450 for zen 2, you can always apply for the boot kit frrom AMD in the rare occasion it's not zen2 ready flinck
sudden seal
Anyone knows his case of choice
crimson scroll
nr600
his parts list is posted up there somewhere
the case is fine, he got extra fans for it too
with the fans it performs pretty well in GN tests
sudden seal
I personally would do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mg2rNq
rich sedge
huh
crimson scroll
and bump up to a 2tb hdd for like 7 bucks more
rich sedge
maybe ill go for that list
sudden seal
Maybe let it be fine tuned by Taichung
rich sedge
the only thing i would need to add would be a wifi card
sudden seal
Raichu*
crimson scroll
how did that autocorrect lol
sudden seal
I don’t know
rich sedge
wtf is taichung
crimson scroll
cool city though
sudden seal
WiFi cards are like 30 bucks I think
rich sedge
around 30-50
crimson scroll
yeah
rich sedge
wifi 6 is like 50
crimson scroll
pcie over usb
sudden seal
Yep
rich sedge
uh

saucy supreruku asked what a good pcie wifi is brand etc
crimson scroll
that exact gigabyte model isn't on r/newmaxx's spreadsheet list dillie, but it seems fine. maybe consider a sn550 at 1tb
@sudden seal he was trolling in this chat when i was trying to help people

im saving up for a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor, MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory, Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive, Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card, NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case and Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply i know prices are gonna go up and down but for now thats wat im going with
narrow parrot
sry
crimson scroll
also i would recommend a cheaper ssd like an sx8200pro or sn750/sn550 over the 970 evo
crimson scroll
and a more airflow focused case, but if you like the looks of the h510 it's fine
crimson scroll
i tweaked it a little bit
we're also approaching the point where i would strongly suggest replacing the stock cooler
rich sedge
@sudden seal i modified your build thing https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cWndZf
crimson scroll
need help how @scarlet berry
scarlet berry
It’s watching

yeah im scared

How can I send a file from my phone to my pc without iTunes
crimson scroll
you can use a cloud service
ornate verge
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PotatoFace91/saved/#view=GXYcbv what do you think about my parts list it’s my first build
crimson scroll
not bad
i would swap out the h510 for an airflow focused case and myabe go for 1440p 144hz instead of 1080p, since you have a 2070 super
also, a cheaper motherboard like the b450 tomahawk max would do just fine
static pecan
You could also go with an RX5700XT for $100 cheaper and get the same performance as a 2070 Super lol
crimson scroll
for a first build they may not want to deal with driver issues
also nvenc potentially
static pecan
Driver issues are pretty much non existent these days + for most use cases NVENC really isn't worth $100 over VCE
crimson scroll
personally i would pick the 5700xt, but the 2070s is fine too
and i wouldn't say they're nonexistent. they're much improved but still exist
ornate verge
I kinda got to have WiFi tho
static pecan
I'm not saying it isn't, it's still a good card just overpriced compared to the competition
crimson scroll
you can get a wifi card for like 30 bucks
static pecan
^
crimson scroll
maybe for something like a mitx board you'd want built in wifi
static pecan
I've had plenty of issues with Nvidia drivers in the year I've had an Nvidia card lol
ornate verge
static pecan
Still 1080p. To really take advantage of a 2070 Super you should look into 1440p
ornate verge
Any recommendations?
crimson scroll
if you want a super nice one, the lg 27gl850-b or 27gl83a-b are super nice IPS 1440p 144hz panels
goes for around $450 but you have to snag them when they come back in stock
ornate verge
I’m saying like under 250 lmao
static pecan
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N2L5CXO?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&pldnSite=1 @ornate verge this is a good 1440p panel for $400 and regularly goes on sale for less
crimson scroll
it's TN but pretty good picture quality for TN
lol yeah that's what alanhm linked
static pecan
Lmao literally just sent the link
crimson scroll
i wouldn't pay 400 for it though
static pecan
That's the panel I'm getting with my next build
crimson scroll
nice, it's what i have now
static pecan
Nah I'm planning to grab it and the rest of my parts around Black Friday/Holiday sales time
crimson scroll
alternatively you could get a 2070 and still do a 1440p/144hz panel from the money you saved
the panel will likely last you longer than several of your parts anyways
i had a 1060 and bought my monitor, then upgraded to a used 1080 from reddit later
scarlet berry
So I updated drivers using a USB ssd connection
Still isn’t working
What else should I try
This is literally the most annoying thing

I've been looking at this pc for a while and I'm wondering if this is even gookd
crimson scroll
meh
clear jacinth
it isn't really that good
analog latch
What should I change?
analog latch
Yeah
crimson scroll
get a used optiplex with an i7, throw in a 1650/s
will run you like 300ish
won't be good for upgrading but best bang/buck in that price range probably
crimson scroll
get a non apu then
sudden seal
is this case any good? https://www.megekko.nl/product/0/1067886/Inter-Tech-X-608-Infinity-Micro-Toren?r=googleshopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvIT5BRCqARIsAAwwD-QD8qw_BXYjk_bXEKGBXRNx3zuApvR3lS2PQNeUYx4dehgiEgZmaFYaAjK2EALw_wcB
devout wolf
it looks nice but airflow is close to non-existent
and also there seems to be barely any clearance in the back panel for cables
sudden seal
if im only gonna use 2 ram sticks does it matter if i use a motherboard with only 2 ram slots?
clear jacinth
not really but I believe a 4 slot is faster - correct me if I'm wrong
devout wolf
yes you are indeed wrong
4 slots only has more bandwidth in cpus that support quad channel
currently workstation and server cpus
for consumers it's technically worse having 4 sticks since that's more stress on the memory controller (IMC)

how much euro could i ask for a
i7 2600K
GTX 970 asus Strix
8gb dual channel ram
Vs550
clear jacinth
around $300 would my guess be
crimson scroll
like 70usd for the 2600k, 70usd for the 970, 30usd for the ram, maybe 50-60 for the psu
i don't know about euro prices sorry
sudden seal
500gb hdd

worthless

crimson scroll
30usd maybe

crimson scroll
you didn't list a motherboard

maybe like 30-50 depending on the board then
sudden seal
yeah
crimson scroll
first off thats the third time you've tagged him and said you've modified it
second, you have two cpu coolers
rich sedge
yeah
something messed up
i removed the deepcool
so now its this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wR9R7T
devout wolf
you don't need x570
sudden seal
Don’t think you need a liquid cooler for Ryzen 5 3600
devout wolf
yeap
sudden seal
Use the Cooler Master Hyper H410R RGB
devout wolf
or stick with stock cooler tbh
rich sedge
why is the money in amazon displayed in indian rupees
crimson scroll
are you on amazon india
rich sedge
idk
rich sedge
when i search up Cooler Master Hyper H410R RGB in google and i click the amazon link it appears in indian rupees
crimson scroll
paste the link here
crimson scroll
exactly
rich sedge
it doesnt show up on the us part of amazon when i search up cooler master hyper h410r rgb
crimson scroll
stock cooler < gammax 400 < arctic esports duo < scythe fuma 2/mugen rev b < dark rock pro four/noctua nh-d15
in order of cheapest to most expensive, and also performance
those are generally what i would pick for air coolers
rich sedge
what about the noctua nh-u12s
rich sedge
ok
welp
i guess the only part of my build that has any sort of lighting is the mobo
rich sedge
where do i find the led light strip on pcpartpicker
nvm
should i get these fans? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DMQG3C/mars-gaming-mfrgbkit-452-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-mfrgbkit
crimson scroll
never heard of them
rich sedge
why doesnt this show the db level
crimson scroll
don't worry about that
db and cfm are measured differently anyways
by different manufacturers
you can't compare unless it's by a third party doing the same testing methodology for all parts tested
or within the same company
rich sedge
huh
crimson scroll
company A tests their fans at max rpm, measuring noise at a distance of 20 inches away, in a wind tunnel
rich sedge
then should i get those mars fans or the arctic ones?
crimson scroll
company B tests their fans at max rpm, measuring noise at a distance of 30 inches away, in an open room
