rgb fusion almost broke my m.2 lmao
@whole lagoon your motherboard is next

#

no joke

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

?

#

how?

#

@devout wolf

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

right so basically

#

There were reports of bricked Gigabyte Aorus Z390 motherboards caused by dumping SMBus address 0x68 in an attempt to reverse engineer the RGB.

#

controlling the rgb kills the motherboard

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

ohh

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

not with rgb fusion, you're good

#

just joking about that

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

oh ok

#

can we all agree armoury crate sucks and aura is better

crimson scroll Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

anyways, everybody asking about what board they should buy. there is almost no reason to go for b450. if you're REALLY on a budget, maybe the b450m pro4. but if you can spend any more, which you should be with a 3700x, then you can get a very good b550 board for around $120

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

but if you try to bypass their extremely garbage software and control the chip itself, it can kill the mobo

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

oh yeah i see

#

its just my gpu tho

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

aura sucks sometimes, had to reinstall windows multiple times for it to stop with the AuraService error

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

yeah me too

crimson scroll Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

pretty much all rgb software sucks

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

icue is the least worst

supple narwhal Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

@devout wolf understood

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

the thing that worked for me was jsut to boot in safe mode after turning off my psu before the pc

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

the reason gigabyte motherboard die, is pretty silly

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

icue has a huge learners curve

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

the smbus address for the rgb controller used to be 0x68

#

but on z390, it's the VRM control

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

but i love it tbh over everything even synapse

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

you see where this is going?

whole lagoon Aug 20, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

yeah :/

supple narwhal Aug 20, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

what should i go for , b550 or x 470?

crimson scroll Aug 20, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

no point in going for x470 now

#

when buying new

supple narwhal Aug 20, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

availability is a bit issue for b550 here i guess ill wait more

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

x470 gaming plus max is sometimes the same price as a tomahawk max

crimson scroll Aug 20, 2020, 11:30 PM

where are you located

supple narwhal Aug 20, 2020, 11:30 PM

MSI B550-A PRO ATX looks good too and its cheap

what do you by msi shady?

devout wolf Aug 20, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

their practices with reviewers

supple narwhal Aug 20, 2020, 11:52 PM

MSI B550-A PRO ATX seems acctually good and i will save some money too

#

are there any other options i should consider?

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

what are b450 prices like over there

#

might be worth considering those in non-us regions

supple narwhal Aug 21, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

they are the same as b550

#

but i have made up my mind im gonna go MSI B550-A PRO ATX or asrock steel legend b550

I'm using an asus b450f and I just upgraded to a corsair 16 gb 2x8gb 3600mhz. I have enabled docp and manualy set my clock to 3600mhz but cpu z and task manager continue to report 2133mhz. I have checked and it is on the compatibility list. If anyone knows aa solution I'd appreciate it

Bruh I can talk again

Hey y'all first post in this community, i went on reddit to ask for advice and opinions but the subreddit i tried needed permission to post, so I thought I'd try here. I'm eventually getting around to building a PC for the first time, and I was wondering if what I cobbled together is fine, and I don't quite know what the compatibility errors at the bottom mean, and what I should do to fix them, or what needs to be bought in addition, thanks in advance! https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/P3dYMc

System Builder

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

it's...pretty outdated and mismatched

#

that processor is 3 generations old now and is way overpriced

#

and intel doesn't really care about fast memory, not as much as ryzen chips. you'd be better off getting 3200cl16 or 3600cl16 unless you're really into memory tuning and overclocking

#

the compatibility notes are just warnings, most won't be issues. for example, the m.2 shares bandwidth with a sata port. that just means if you buy a m.2 drive and use it, you won't be able to use as many sata drives as if you didn't plug in the m.2 drive

#

whats your budget @analog radish

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Erm, idk, I’m not building it for a while so I’m probably going to buy parts bit by bit overtime until I have all the parts I need to build

#

But like, £1200 for the pc itself?

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

thats generally not recommended since prices fluctuate, new parts come out

#

and you don't want to buy a part, sit on it for three weeks, then find out its defective and you can't RMA it

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

So I should like, buy everyone at once, still like £1200 then I guess

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

for the most part, yup

#

some things won't change, like the power supply, in terms of technology

#

but even then, prices change

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

The processor that’s outdated is the intel i7 right?

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

i can put together a list so you know in general what to look for

#

correct

#

also, what are you going to be doing with the system

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

Really? That’s outdated? 😮

#

Gaming

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

just gaming? any production?

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

I’d want something that can at least run Overwatch, or apex at 144Hz, 144fps 1080p

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

and yeah, you put in a 7700k. of the same tier, there's now been the 8700k, 9700k, and 10700k

#

esports titles are easy to run

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

Yeah lol

#

Which is why I went for not the most expensive stuff

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

for pure gaming only, i would recommend the 10600k over the ryzen 3600, and we can make it fit in your budget

#

overall though, the 3600 will be cheaper and better price/perf

#

and it will handle your esports titles just fine

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

The reason I’m going for intel, not amd, might seem stupid but, the MSI processor works with steelseries prismsync

#

And the processor only seemed to be compatible with intel, not amd

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

uh

#

you mean the motherboard?

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

Yes lol

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

the processor is made by intel, the motherboard is made by MSI, sourcing the chipset from intel

#

honestly, i would not say that's a premium i would pay. especially not for a chip and motherboard that's outdated by three generations

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

I just thought it’d be cool to have my pc rgb’s matching up with all my steelseries gear but if that msi motherboard is really not worth it I can reconsider haha

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

7700k prices are wild too because there are no new ones

#

it's all people trying to scalp old ones

#

a new 10700k isn't even that much

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

I would get a newer msi motherboard, but I’ve looked and it seems like that is literally the only one that works with the steelseries engine, I even saw a steelseries mod post a response to someone asking being like “that one is the only one MSI got us to do” lol

#

but rgb isn’t super important, it’s your say if it’s a bad motherboard or not

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

bad by today's standards

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

darn

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

does the 1200 pounds include the monitor in the price?

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

erm, doesn’t need to I guess

#

I already have one monitor

#

I currently use a laptop as my second monitor with an msi monitor as my main

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

okay

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

So if I got a desktop I’d need a second monitor xP

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

well, the current list i have has a 5700xt and r5 3600

#

with that, i would recommend hitting 2560x1440p @144hz

#

those monitors will be around 250 to 400 pounds

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

Oof yeah I don’t care about anything about 1080p 144hz

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/wWgm6R i left room for a third party cpu cooler should you choose, extra hard drive space, or even an upgrade to the b550 non m-atx pro4

System Builder

#

it'll be overkill for esports titles for sure

#

now, depending on when exactly you plan to buy, this recommendation may change.

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

wouldent go for MWE tho

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

yeah, but I may as well get something that can run a little more than an esports title to somewhat futureproof my system, rather than getting a system that can run esports titles and it’s outdated hella fast

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

we don't know how rtx 3000 series launch will affect gpu prices

#

mwe gold is b tier on ltt psu list, it's fine

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

I’m out right now but when I get home I’ll have a looksee at your updated build, thanks for the help!

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

there are better ones fo the same price tho

#

but yeah, could do the job

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

you could go pure power 11 cm for 10 pounds cheaper i guess

#

same tier

#

but that's semi modular

#

something you and I clash a lot about @sturdy comet is that you always try to min/max performance

#

it's more about balance for me

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

Is something being semi modular important?

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

if we're spending 1k+ on a build, i think we should do fully modular

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

Or, important for someone like me lol

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

@analog radish not particularly

#

semi modular means you'll have the 24 pin and cpu 8 pin connector permanently affixed to the power supply

#

and the other cables you attach as you need

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

...

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

if going for balance, why not take something better for the price?

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

fully modular everything is separate and you attach as you need

#

@sturdy comet then link it

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

since MWE is known for not the best out there

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

What is MWE?

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

branding by coolermaster

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

why link? there are plenty choises that could be better tbh

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

"you can do better"

#

doesn't prove it

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

Ah, coolermaster, really? They seem highly recommended

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

could go on a seasonic focus gx

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

they make a lot of different products at a lot of different tiers

sturdy comet Aug 21, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

^^

#

i got a V series myself

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

they make stock intel and amd coolers for example

#

the GX isn't on the pcpp list

#

focus plus gold is about the same as the mwe though

#

also you have to be careful about the seasonic focus units with high power GPUs, if they're not the new oneseasonic units

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

Yeah some of the stuff I researched wasn’t on their site, so I just, picked something similar lol

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

Just looked at your updated build and wow you changed like, everything haha

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

pretty much

#

the case you picked is excellent though

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

Yeah I love the look of it, was going to go for the none rgb version cuz of the msi motherboard rgb being synced with prismsync, but now that I’m probably not getting that one I’ll go with the rgb case haha

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

rgb version has fans anyways

#

and you can turn off rgb

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

true true

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

i would add on one extra exhaust fan

#

the 3 included fans are all intake i believe

analog radish Aug 21, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

But for what I need your build is fine?

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

oh wait

#

that's the one in the list lmao

crimson scroll Aug 21, 2020, 11:44 AM

before buying brand new parts be sure to check if there is some sort of outlet. My friend got aorus b450 elite for like 20% cheaper because it was used for 7 days and lacked box

@frigid phoenix i chose a tier b+

noble oak Aug 21, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

CX650 W is worse than an CXM650 W right?

#

the carter guys were telling me to get a CX over CXM RIP

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

If you want to go with 3600X and 2070S I would recommend paying little bit more and getting 700W PSU

#

or normal 3600

#

it's not that much of a price difference but you will be way safer

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

why 3600x tho?

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

just example

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

and why 700????

#

650w can power a 3950x+2080ti

unborn kiln Aug 21, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

No need for 700w

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:47 PM

but with 650W you will have almost no reserve

Go for 1500 then u know ur good

Go for 1500 then u know ur good
@pearl river Far too little headroom I'd go with a 1800w

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:47 PM

When 2080ti will go full power 650W will be barelly enough

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

ok

noble oak Aug 21, 2020, 8:48 PM

2080ti right now from Nvidia is a horrible price to performance.

@noble oak What?
If anything it will go down because of the efficiency

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

When 2080ti will go full power 650W will be barelly enough
@frigid phoenix how much power do you think a 2080ti pulls

noble oak Aug 21, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

oh wait what.

#

mb lol

#

imagine how much a 3090 ti will need for power.

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

here's the thing

pearl river Aug 21, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

12 pin

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

that's been proven false

pearl river Aug 21, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

Ahaa that rymes

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

the 2080ti pulls the same power as a 980ti

#

since the architecture got smaller, power draw also decreased

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

My setup has estimated wattage of 430W and somehow it still can go out with 600W PSU

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

which psu?

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

SilentiumPC Vero M1

#

R5 3600X
ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS
RTX 2080S

#

estimated wattage is around 430W but GPU while in stress can pull so much that PSU won't have enough power

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

and wdym by 'go out'?

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

it just turns off

#

Because it has no enough power

unborn kiln Aug 21, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Which psu shuts down?

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

If you try to pull out too much power, every

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

596w on 12v rail

#

how much power does your 2080S pull when it shuts off?

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

between 450 and 500 iirc

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

that's not normal

#

unless you have shuntmodded it

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

It's stock

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

there is a physical shunt resistor preventing a 2080s from pulling that much power

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

it's not even overclocked because it shuts off on stresstest when trying to apply overclocking

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

first, the BIOS limit is 255w

unborn kiln Aug 21, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

That is not normal

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

if your power limit is on 100% then it's 250w

unborn kiln Aug 21, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

What does the GPU pull at idel?

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Then GPU TweakII is not working properly

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

don't use that

#

i used to use it and it's absolute garbage

#

just use afterburner

#

and HWInfo64 to monitor power draw

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

I don't overclock using it. I just use it to watch temp and few other things like "game booster" which works just good enough

devout wolf Aug 21, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

i guess just use hwinfo64 then

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Also then, what else can be a reason of PC just shutting down on giant stress

noble oak Aug 21, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

I feel bad for anyone who doesn't know anywhere else to order parts from except amazon.

frigid phoenix Aug 21, 2020, 9:00 PM

Best airflow is Fractal Design Meshify C

The case is kinda outdated now too, needs extra fans like some cheaper budget cases

Spent the whole day on a new cost effective list

System Builder

crimson scroll Aug 22, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

If you can find the meshify c for the right price, it can be a good choice

#

But at the price it's been floating around of 90usd, not good

#

I'm not at home so I can't check the specs on that Vulcan, but the sn550 is too good to pass up at its current sale price

#

Also a 1080p 144hz monitor with a 2070s is kind of low

#

And for even more budget drop to the b550m pro4

noble oak Aug 22, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

ooooooo. That sounds good, thanks. I agree i'd rather replace the SSD in the new list with the sn550

#

I dont wanna use sata cables is basically what im trying to say

devout wolf Aug 22, 2020, 1:57 AM

and yeah if you're going b550 then get pro4 instead

is x470 gaming plus max OOS already?

its all rumors until they come out

crimson scroll Aug 22, 2020, 6:50 AM

yep, that's why i said rumors

#

i don't really see this shaking up most of the builds we've been making here though

#

most budget up to a 2060 super/5700xt

#

unless the 3060 offers significant gains, it's probably not worth it (as all initial launches) especially since you'll still be able to get new 2xxx cards and likely for 30-50 bucks cheaper

#

all predicated on the assumption that those rumors are true, of course

thats usd right?

keep in mind they are rumours. still gonna favour amd over this (time will show) since the hasty release of the RTX 2000 series was a bit depressing on how they really didnt bring stuff to a new level.

(not gonna buy them though)

400 usd for the lowest tier on release, up to 1400 according to rumors

Don't expect a high end card for 400 unfortunately

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 3:32 AM

my first guess based on all that is that something is wrong with the thermal solution. Maybe there's not enough mounting pressure, or the fans aren't spinning

or the paste is dry/too little paste

can you check for all that?

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

what do you mean by stripped

last fossil Aug 23, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

where you mount a plate that houses screws so you can install the thing, basically one of the plates came stripped and its unsuable

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

sounds like the backplate

last fossil Aug 23, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

unusable

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

that's probably the cause then

last fossil Aug 23, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

probable

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

if you can't get the screws on the cooler to properly tighten onto the backplate, you won't get good contact between the IHS and the cooler

#

and so it'll run really hot

last fossil Aug 23, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

i just used the stock one not the other one

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

there may be other issues causing you to get low fps like not enabling XMP but that definitely sounds like the primary issue, if you're getting 5 fps

#

can you send a picture of the back of the motherboard, where you mounted the backplate?

last fossil Aug 23, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

that would be a negative

#

the case i have you wouldnt be able to see anything

lusty apex Aug 23, 2020, 4:51 AM

You can probably get a bigger screen for that price

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

seems fine for esports titles, but why not go 1440p 144hz

lusty apex Aug 23, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

The cheapest i found for that was $300

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

also bigger =/= better, at 1080p, if you go bigger than 24" depending on how far you sit, it can look badly pixelated

About like 1-2 in.

if it's under 24 in I don't mind.

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 4:53 AM

general rule is about 27" is max for 1080p before it looks awful

How much extra?

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 4:54 AM

1440p 144hz for $300 vs your 1080p 240hz for $270, seems worth it to me unless you're going pro in fps titles

noble oak Aug 23, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

ah you see, I'm trying to max out as much frames as I can get so I'm not to sure about 1440p.

$300

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:06 AM

median rivet Aug 23, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

I'll agree with that

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

more screen real estate with 1440p, the option to scale down if you want

#

it's a perfect match for 720p if you're a cs fiend who cares about frames

#

and if you're playing stretched or even 1080p on esports titles, you don't care that much about how it looks anyways so the downscaling will be fine

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:09 AM

true

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:11 AM

Hey can you guys tell me the difference between air and water coolers other than the obvious?

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

depends on what you consider obvious

#

air is generally cheaper for the performance and less worry about where you position it

#

water has a larger ceiling of cooling capability

#

you just gotta be careful about not killing your pump

lusty apex Aug 23, 2020, 5:33 AM

Ok thanks

air is also less maintenance long term

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 5:34 AM

no worry of permeation, leakage, less parts to die, easier to replace parts

#

i would watch reputable youtubers build pcs then

#

don't worry so much about the parts they chose, they often do crazy systems

#

focus more on the order they do things and the reason behind why they do things

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:34 AM

and also for the most part, higher end air coolers outperform AIOs with 1 fan radiators (120/140mm aio)

It sounds like air is alot superior to water

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

bitwit kyle for...more fancy builds

#

well, each has their own use case

#

for a lot of people I would say yes, air > water because you won't need the extra headroom water provides

lusty apex Aug 23, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

Water seems like too much of a hassle

#

I guess the bright side is that it looks cool

crimson scroll Aug 23, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

it can let you be a lot more creative with your builds and overclock higher wattage chips

#

custom loops can get into the thousands of dollars but look great

lusty apex Aug 23, 2020, 5:40 AM

That seems like overkill to me but i can see why people would do it

then wat is?

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:01 PM

for what cpu?

lean quarry Aug 23, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

AMD ryzen 5 3600 or ryzen 7

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

which ryzen 7? if it's the 3700x then just stick with the stock cooler

lean quarry Aug 23, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

yes but i guess the 5 3600

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

stick with the stock cooler

lean quarry Aug 23, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

and if overclock?

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

well, don't overclock

#

pretty useless on ryzen 3rd gen

#

barely any gains

lean quarry Aug 23, 2020, 5:11 PM

i have overclock my gpu and it was verry helpfull but i have never overclocked my cpy

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:12 PM

overclocking isn't the same across every product

lean quarry Aug 23, 2020, 5:12 PM

i know

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:13 PM

so, just stick with the stock cooler and don't overclock

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hamoxal/saved/#view=4BZwcf here is my parts list, the questions I have are, Do I need to buy thermal paste or does my cpu come with it, and what case fans should I get/ how many according to my case?

Saved Part Lists

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

thermal paste is included

#

but

#

there is no reason to get such a beefy cooler for a 3700x

#

the stock cooler is enough

hallow falcon Aug 23, 2020, 5:40 PM

I originally had that, but people told me to change it

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:40 PM

F_ThinkDerp

#

more things i'd change

#

do you need pcie gen4?

#

if so, get b550

x570 isn't really worth it anymore now that b550 is a thing

hallow falcon Aug 23, 2020, 5:42 PM

Ok

devout wolf Aug 23, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

the P1 is a QLC drive. It will suffer with windows on it

#

i'd change it to an A2000 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9vWBD3/kingston-a2000-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-sa2000m81000g

gpu next, the Gaming OC is a better 2080S than the EVGA KO, and it's the same price https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3VcRsY/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2080-super-8-gb-gaming-oc-video-card-gv-n208sgaming-oc-8gc-rev-20
