[calm forge]

build

and i just build my pc 4 weeks ago

[fallow bay]

Nice

[calm forge]

yeah

[naive atlas]

The way I see it, the cheaper you go, the more it may cost you in the long run with upgrades. Saying that, you don't need a crazy expensive one either.

[calm forge]

i understand where youre coming from

[fallow bay]

Yeah

Like psu

[calm forge]

but if you spend too much on one component youll have to cut corners in others

[fallow bay]

You might need more watts

In the future

[red shale]

whats a good motherboard and pcie card for that buid

[fallow bay]

For new parts

[calm forge]

i bought my psu from evga

its the 650w 80+ gold supernova

[fallow bay]

Nice

[calm forge]

whats a good motherboard and pcie card for that buid
@red shale uhm most people are using them on x570 but it depends on what platform youre using and your budget

but you should get a motherboard with pcie gen 4 slots to take advantage of the rtx 3070 pcie gen 4 stuff

lmao i should look into pcie stuff

[red shale]

well his budget is 1700

[fallow bay]

That should be good

With all the peripherals?

[naive atlas]

Asus ROG Maximus XII HERO for modern. A little pricy.

[red shale]

i forgot to ask him so prob no

dang

[naive atlas]

But not too pricy.

[fallow bay]

K

[red shale]

so more like 1500

[naive atlas]

If you are going intel.

[fallow bay]

Excluding monitor?

@naive atlas he's going AMD I think

[calm forge]

the gpu alone will cost 499

[naive atlas]

Honestly, I don't know enough about ryzen.

[calm forge]

msrp for founders edition

[red shale]

damn so like 1400

[fallow bay]

If he's going for a gaming one

[red shale]

will he afford it

ye

[fallow bay]

It's like 200 dollars

[calm forge]

if hes going amd he has a little more room for other components

than he does wth intel

[fallow bay]

For a good one

[calm forge]

so yeah 200 for a good one

[red shale]

i have a 3 ms response time 144 hrz and it seems fine

thats 150

[fallow bay]

He should be going 4k

With 3070

[calm forge]

you said he has a 1700 budget?

[red shale]

well with perifirals more like 1400

[calm forge]

300 on periferals

i see

[naive atlas]

I don't know enough about it. But I thought 4k is only noticeable on 65 or larger screen.

[calm forge]

uhm

so

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tYim2XRT-M

your friend can use that video for reference

and make some upgrades

[red shale]

ok

[calm forge]

depending on what he wants

because he has a 400 dollar difference from that video

so maybe he could get a better processor

or more storage

idk its really up to him

[fallow bay]

Yeah

Are 5600xt drivers bad?

Or did they fix em

[calm forge]

uhm

i think they did

[wanton hollow]

ayo guys

[calm forge]

the blue screen glitches got fixed already

i think

[fallow bay]

K

[wanton hollow]

i wanna make a 2000 dollar build with 3080

[fallow bay]

Should be enuf

[wanton hollow]

i wanna do streaming and gaming

gaming number 1 tho

can u help

[calm forge]

@wanton hollow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2PnPN8vVUo

same thing

just upgrade some parts if you want

[fallow bay]

Yeah

Better storage

[calm forge]

bitwit is so helpful i cant

[fallow bay]

Or processor

Lol

In my country amd gpu prices are jacked

[calm forge]

really

[fallow bay]

400 dollars for a 280 dollar one

[calm forge]

rip

[fallow bay]

And it will cost 650 dollars for the new 3070

Too expensive

[calm forge]

yeah

that really sucks

[fallow bay]

Yeah

I gotta ask my sis to bring parts

[red shale]

bro where

[calm forge]

imagine using a vpn to shop online

[fallow bay]

She lives abroad

[calm forge]

lmao

[fallow bay]

@red shale India

[calm forge]

oh

[red shale]

damn

[calm forge]

damn

that sucks

[fallow bay]

Yeah

Australian prices aren't jacked right?

[red shale]

tbh i came to this server for this chat

[fallow bay]

Nice

[calm forge]

lmao

nice

Australian prices aren't jacked right?
@fallow bay not sure

i never check prices in other countries

i probably should

[fallow bay]

Lol

We got fall guys for like 5 bucks

[red shale]

new egg is so usefull

[fallow bay]

Instead of 20

@red shale egg?

[red shale]

newegg

basically amazon

[fallow bay]

Oh

Never heard of it

[calm forge]

newegg

[red shale]

just most of times has lower prices

[calm forge]

yeah

[fallow bay]

In India we have mdcomputers

With the best prices

[calm forge]

https://www.newegg.com/

[fallow bay]

www.mdcomputers.com

[calm forge]

last month i found a b450 tomohawk max for like 89 bucks on there

it was literally a steal

[fallow bay]

Wow

Was it used?

[calm forge]

no

[fallow bay]

Wow

Wish I had dat over here

[calm forge]

wait

102,999

how much is that

in usd

1400

right

[fallow bay]

Oh it's in india

@calm forge what?

Why you asking?

[calm forge]

because i found a 2080ti ventus oc on there

for that rpice

[fallow bay]

Yeah

It's like 120000 on Amazon

[calm forge]

so isnt that like 1400 in usd

[fallow bay]

75 is 1 dollar

[fallow bay]

So like 1590

1500

[calm forge]

oo

[fallow bay]

It really is a steal

[calm forge]

yeah

[fallow bay]

10200 for 2080ti

[calm forge]

im using a 1660ti ventus oc rn

[fallow bay]

Nice

I wonder if they will send genuine stuff

In India

Imma head out

[calm forge]

alr

cya

[red shale]

whats a good starting amount of storage

[calm forge]

for what

ssd or hdd

[red shale]

hdd

[calm forge]

uhm

[red shale]

and sdd

[calm forge]

around 2tb

[naive dagger]

2tb

[calm forge]

for ssd

around 500 gigs

[red shale]

ok

[calm forge]

but if youre only using ssd

around 1tb

or higher

[naive dagger]

1tb is ideal

[calm forge]

yeah

[red shale]

i have 1 tb hdd 😬

[naive dagger]

still fine

[red shale]

and my case only has one hdd slot

[naive dagger]

but putting your os on an ssd is better

[red shale]

oh i did

[calm forge]

yeah

rn i only have one drive

its a crucial p1 1tb ssd

but my motherboard supports 2 ssds

so ill probs get another 1tb one

or a 2tb one

idk

[junior wind]

What kind of ssd we talking about? m2 i assume?

[calm forge]

yeah

[naive dagger]

if its on the mobo i assume its m.2

[calm forge]

m.2 nvme

[naive dagger]

i have a 2tb hdd and 240gb sata ssd

[junior wind]

👍🏻

[naive dagger]

and a 120gb m.2

[calm forge]

thats pretty good

[naive dagger]

that has nothing on it

[calm forge]

i dont really like hdd

because

it takes up room

[naive dagger]

slow

[calm forge]

and i need to plug in a sata power cable

and slow yeah

[naive dagger]

m.2 is so easy

[calm forge]

but its better in terms of bang for your buck

[naive dagger]

yeah

[calm forge]

so im probs gonna vibe with 2tb of storage in just ssds

or 4tb

3tb*

idk yet

[red shale]

what type of games yall play

[calm forge]

valorant

warthunder

[fierce plaza]

theoretically would a 1tb hdd be faster than a 2tb

[junior wind]

Im working as a tec guy, we had to build in 4tb ssd's and they nearly broke because they were too THICK

[calm forge]

rolobx B)

theoretically would a 1tb hdd be faster than a 2tb
@fierce plaza yeah

[fierce plaza]

good

[calm forge]

but like

[merry sandal]

what type of games yall play
@red shale Apex all the way for me

[calm forge]

Im working as a tec guy, we had to build in 4tb ssd's and they nearly broke because they were too THICK
@junior wind just get an 8tb ssd that uses a pcie slot

no biggie

lmao

[junior wind]

It was in a laptop and the customer wanted this specific one

._.

[calm forge]

.

4tb worth of storage in an ssd

in a laptop

.

[junior wind]

yee

[merry sandal]

You guys are talking some hefty SSD's haha

[naive dagger]

thats a lot

wow

[junior wind]

and 32GB ram

[calm forge]

excuse me what

how does that work

[merry sandal]

I'm just sitting here with my 700 gigs

[junior wind]

3 laptops with that stuff in it

[naive dagger]

jeez

[calm forge]

lmao

3

[junior wind]

and i nearly shat myself building that stuff in because they are about 800€ and they bend really bad

[red shale]

i hated putting in ram it caused me so much stress

idk why

[junior wind]

lmao

in a desktop pc or a laptop?

[red shale]

pc

[junior wind]

laptop is worse i think

[red shale]

breh

[junior wind]

you have to literally press them in there, if you dont know how to you'll just have to sit there for a few minutes trying not to break a thing

[fierce plaza]

i have watched like 10 hours of ltt in the last 24 hours

help

[red shale]

is it possible to upgrade a mother board

no linus is god

[junior wind]

ltt is pretty good, yeah

[fierce plaza]

i think you can but its tedious

you have to take out all the things

[calm forge]

is this mouse @frigid phoenix

[naive dagger]

lmao

[frigid phoenix]

yes

[calm forge]

yes

[fierce plaza]

ram, cpu, cooler, ssd

[calm forge]

very nice mouse

[junior wind]

yes

[naive dagger]

its carbon fiber

[frigid phoenix]

it's literally no compromises ultra light

[naive dagger]

yeah

fingertip

[junior wind]

Is this maus?

[naive dagger]

du bist maus

[junior wind]

nice, danke

[naive dagger]

bitte

[calm forge]

yes

maus

mauschen is better

me and the homeboys vibing in the tigre II p

[red shale]

can a b450m have a 3070

[calm forge]

i too am a cold war era tank connoisuer

i cant spell

but

go along

[junior wind]

ever heard of me boy schwerer panzerspähwagen 7,5 cm sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/4 panzerabwehr kanonenwagen

[naive dagger]

how many have you

[red shale]

why are we talking about tanks

[junior wind]

Yes

can a b450m have a 3070
@red shale should work, yes

[red shale]

lets gooo

[calm forge]

ever heard of me boy schwerer panzerspähwagen 7,5 cm sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/4 panzerabwehr kanonenwagen
@junior wind are those the hated pumas

@junior wind also you play warthunder by chance?

[red shale]

thats mine i had a budget build

[calm forge]

can a b450m have a 3070
@red shale but if youre buying a 3070 you should have a mobo that supports 4th gen pcie

to take advantage of the 3070's 4th gen pcie

[red shale]

true i just wanted to know

so i dont waste money

[calm forge]

alr

[junior wind]

@junior wind also you play warthunder by chance?
@calm forge I used to, but kinda stopped. The thing is pretty close to what you call armored personnel carrier

but with a gun^^

[fierce plaza]

this do be the building a pc chat

[calm forge]

so a puma

basically

[junior wind]

we are building pcs

[calm forge]

in warthunder theres a tank lineup called the pumas

[junior wind]

ok

[calm forge]

its basically the sd.kfz.234

and we just call them pumas

so

[red shale]

should i get into warthunder

or world of tanks

or world of warships

[calm forge]

idk

i currently play warthunder

[devout wolf]

@red shale but if youre buying a 3070 you should have a mobo that supports 4th gen pcie
@calm forge no, no you don't

the difference is barely a few %

[calm forge]

eh

true

but like

you get more flexibility ig

[fierce plaza]

rtx 3090 is $1500

[rustic spoke]

Yis

[fierce plaza]

but you can get

an

asus rog strix 2080 ti

for $1800

a weaker gpu

for more

because of branding

[rustic spoke]

Damn, def gonna buy the asus one

[fierce plaza]

ikr

rgb

[rustic spoke]

Honestly i never liked asus, its like apple in the gaming product manufacturers

[calm forge]

you shouldnt buy a 2080ti

[fierce plaza]

yes

buy a rtx 3090

[calm forge]

the founders edition 3090 is already so much powerful than the 2080ti

[fierce plaza]

its bc its asus rog strix

[calm forge]

and the launch msrp is 1500

yeah

[fierce plaza]

you can build a whole pc for 1800

[calm forge]

but if you want better rtx 3090

just wait for slis

to make a better version of the rtx 3090

[fierce plaza]

people out here making pcs for 5000

i just want 650

[rustic spoke]

Mine is like 2k, mainly because i live in hungary 😂

[fierce plaza]

ltt: i sold a 5000 pc for 20

[calm forge]

Mine is like 2k, mainly because i live in hungary 😂
@rustic spoke ship me a 2070 super

😢

lmao

[rustic spoke]

I saw that vid @fierce plaza

[fierce plaza]

yees

[rustic spoke]

The prices are too high here :s

[calm forge]

you just said

[rustic spoke]

My pc has i5 8600k and 5700xt

[calm forge]

300 for a lightly used 2070 super

ajswhdad

8th gen i5

of

atleast you can oc it

[rustic spoke]

Ah that, well yes, that is true lmao

The i5 is oc'd to 5ghz

[calm forge]

damn

[rustic spoke]

So its fine for gaming i guess 😂

[calm forge]

ig

lmao

6 core 12 threads

its ok

ig

[fierce plaza]

300 for a lightly used 2070 super
@calm forge wot, the cheapest 1660 on pcpartpicker is literally 205 bruh wut

[rustic spoke]

But idk about the used 2070s, a lil sketchy

[calm forge]

@calm forge wot, the cheapest 1660 on pcpartpicker is literally 205 bruh wut
@fierce plaza thats where dante lives

lol

i got my 1660ti from microcenter for 230

lmao

1660ti ventus oc

[fierce plaza]

people say buy the 1080

i say no

[rustic spoke]

Ppl here are going mad and started selling their gpus lol

The 1080 is a bit overpriced also imo

[calm forge]

yeah

[fierce plaza]

its bc its used for bitcoin mining

[calm forge]

for like 2017 it was hella expensive

[rustic spoke]

Probably

[calm forge]

the 1070 was like 500 and then the 1080ti was like 800-1.2k

lfmao

[fierce plaza]

it was like 1k back then

yea

1070 is now price of 3070

was

sorry was

[rustic spoke]

Btw what do u think, how well will amd's new gpu do?

[calm forge]

idk

i think its gonna fail

and only diehard fans are gonna buy it

because nvidia launched their new gpus first

and amd has to basically match that price

if not go lower

[rustic spoke]

Im hoping its gonna be atleast as good as the rtx 20 series because then the prices will be lower

[calm forge]

and theyre launching it later

[rustic spoke]

Thats what happened when 5700xt and rtx 20 series super gpus came out

Amd lowered the price

[fierce plaza]

i literally didnt know amd had gpus till like last week

[rustic spoke]

.-.

More ppl buy their cpus ngl

[fierce plaza]

yea

they make great cpus

for a reasonable price

[rustic spoke]

But consoles get amd's gpu, so

[calm forge]

yeah but

nvidia launched their gpus first

at a really low price

[rustic spoke]

Yis

[fierce plaza]

remember 670

[calm forge]

so amd has to price match if not go under

[fierce plaza]

literally so old

[rustic spoke]

Amd will go under, just like last year

Gt 670¿

Or wat

[fierce plaza]

the 670 was released in 2012

well the whole 600 series

[calm forge]

lmao

remember the radeon 7000 hd series gpus

[noble oak]

oh

ok

well

[fierce plaza]

bruh the 970 is 6 years old

[rustic spoke]

That actually makes me feel old

Eventho im not at all

[fierce plaza]

1080? 4 years old

[calm forge]

but its a beast

for a gtx card

id say it can go neck to neck with a 2060 super

[rustic spoke]

The 1080 and 1080ti are holding up pretty decent

[calm forge]

yeah

[fierce plaza]

still expensive

[calm forge]

gpus evolved so quickly

[fierce plaza]

1660 is good and cheap

[rustic spoke]

The 1080ti is going against 2070s

[calm forge]

for 3 years

gpus evolved so fast

[fierce plaza]

oh god

the 3070 already has a strix version

[rustic spoke]

This rtx 30 series was a really big step up from 20 series tho

[calm forge]

yeah

a huge step

for a fraction of the cost

well atleast the first 2

gopus

AWBHJDGAWD

i cant spell

[rustic spoke]

Strix is everywhere, overpriced

[fierce plaza]

the 3070 strix is gonna be like 1000 bc its strix

[rustic spoke]

3090 is a 2080ti x2

[fierce plaza]

yeah so 4 if u have 2 3090

[calm forge]

dual 3090s

lmfao

[rustic spoke]

And hoping that the game supports SLi

[calm forge]

thatd be an absolute monster at rendering stuff

[fierce plaza]

dual titan rtx

[calm forge]

overpriced

[rustic spoke]

Rtx quadro then lmao

[calm forge]

yeah

just get quadros

[fierce plaza]

is 329 for a 2060 a good price?

[calm forge]

the only titan id get is probably the titan v

super or normal

[fierce plaza]

normal

[calm forge]

but if its normal thats a good price

yeah

really good

[rustic spoke]

I wouldnt buy any 20 series ngl

[calm forge]

yeah but

depends on budget

[rustic spoke]

If its really strict then understandable

[calm forge]

yeah

[rustic spoke]

But 170 extrs for 3070 is like nothing at that point imo

[calm forge]

yeah but

he'll have to cut corners

[fierce plaza]

yeah but 500 is like more than half the build im planning on

its my first build

cheap bc im broke

[rustic spoke]

Yeah, understandable

[calm forge]

lmao my build is 1.4k

and its my first

the original budget was 500

[fierce plaza]

well i dont have a job so thats a large restriction

[rustic spoke]

This is my 2nd build

[calm forge]

oo

nice

i know too much for a first time builder

[fierce plaza]

ltt store .com

[rustic spoke]

Me neither but i do summerwork

When i can

[calm forge]

i just learn about it in my sparetiem

[rustic spoke]

Cable management was the hardest for me lmao

[calm forge]

really

[fierce plaza]

cable management is hard in general

[calm forge]

it was pretty easy for me

since i have a modular psu

[rustic spoke]

Im supposed to be an it expert so im supposed to be good at this stuff 😂

I have an nzxt case

So it has holes all over the case for cable management

[calm forge]

yeah

same

[rustic spoke]

And i tried so hard to make it perfect

[calm forge]

id say my cable management is really good

[rustic spoke]

And i can only see like 2 cables

[calm forge]

for a first time build

[rustic spoke]

Cable management is important, not just inside ur pc but even the peripherals, so its a great "skill" to learn

[fierce plaza]

airflow

[fluid fern]

I'm kinda new to building a pc, how powerful of a pc could I build with an 800 max budget?

[frank mango]

umm

really depends on what you find

what are you planning to play @fluid fern

[fluid fern]

Nothing too big

Except rust

[fierce plaza]

ok well

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7KNcZf

heres my build

pretty much

you could get a cheaper ssd

this should be able to run rust

[static pecan]

Don't buy a 2600 new tho lol

[fierce plaza]

this has a 1660

oh wait

nvm

well yeah but used parts are sketchy

i recommend waiting to buy the mobo bc it keeps going up and down so wait till it drops to 93

[frank mango]

fir fruits build is rly good for the price

is it american price?

[devout wolf]

ooh pcpp lists 👀

yikes

allow me to fix

[frank mango]

?

you could possible go for a rx 5700 xt

if the prices match up

gives you an extra 2gb of vram

[fierce plaza]

yes american price

[frank mango]

oh thats actually a pretty cheap card

makes sense becaiuse of the new cards

[fierce plaza]

what

[frank mango]

if you crank out another 200 ish american i recommend the rx 5600xt

[fierce plaza]

the 1660?

[frank mango]

its not a bad card

yeah

[fierce plaza]

yeah its good for the price

[frank mango]

cards here in canada are pretty expensice

[fierce plaza]

damn

[devout wolf]

the 1660 isn't worth it really

just go 1660 super

there's a lot i'd change in that list

cpu to maybe a 3100 or 10100, maybe a different motherboard, 3200cl16 ram, an ssd that isn't overpriced, 1660 super, metallic gear neo air, and a psu that isn't a ticking time bomb

[frank mango]

the 2600 is okay

[fierce plaza]

the point

of the list

[frank mango]

the b450m chipset is actually a pretty decent for beginners

[fierce plaza]

is to be under 800 and able to run rust

[devout wolf]

i mean

[fierce plaza]

tbh i didnt even pick half the parts, my friend did

[devout wolf]

you aren't getting the most out of the $800

[fierce plaza]

he knows more than i do

[devout wolf]

you can fit a 3100+5600xt in that budget

[fierce plaza]

maybe

[devout wolf]

3600cl18 ram is just 3200cl16

but with imc stress

the ssd is overpriced as hell, samsung tax

it's literally the price of a 500gb ssd

psu is dangerous, like i've said

you know what let me just make a list from scratch and let it speak for itself

[fierce plaza]

ok

so

below 800, able to run rust

[devout wolf]

i have no idea what specs rust demands i'll just put in the best parts possible for $800

[fierce plaza]

ok

OS: Windows 8.1 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 / AMD FX-9590 or better
Memory: 10 GB RAM
Graphics: GTX 670 2GB / AMD R9 280 better
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 20 GB available space
Additional Notes: SSD is highly recommended or expect longer than average load times.

min specs for rust

[devout wolf]

oh no

i seem to be $100 under budget

and it still outperforms that list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JVzfsk

[frank mango]

pretty good

[fierce plaza]

can micro atx fit in atx?

[frank mango]

i would try to save up a bit more for a ryzen 5

[fluid fern]

this is really helpful stuff, thank you guys

[fierce plaza]

in terms of storage though 512 gb is going to fill up fast

[fluid fern]

yeah

might go 1tb

[fierce plaza]

then again you can throw in a seagate barracuda compute which is like 2 gbs for 54

2tb

sorry

[fluid fern]

oh cool

[fierce plaza]

of course its going to be a little slower than a 1tb bc it has to cover more area you know but you can get 1tb if you wish to load things faster if you put it on the hdd, personally though 2 tb is good because you can put a LOT of games on it

[fluid fern]

true

I'll think about it

[fierce plaza]

how many games do you plan on playing

[fluid fern]

not a ton, that's why i'm thinking 1tb rn

[fierce plaza]

alr

remember though the build he sent has 512 gb of ssd which will definitely load stuff fast

[devout wolf]

i mean

you can do those changes

i made it specifically for rust

[fierce plaza]

so put the main games your gonna play alot on the ssd

[devout wolf]

don't think it's bigger than 512gb

[fierce plaza]

and windows 10 on the ssd

[fluid fern]

ok, i see

[devout wolf]

i can definitely improve a lot if i spend the extra $100

3600 is overpriced as hell right now, only option is intel tbh

i5-10400

[fluid fern]

I'd be down for that, I could go up to 900 dollars if need be

[fierce plaza]

3200mhz is slower than 3600 mhz ram correct?

[devout wolf]

yes but look at the cas latency

3600cl18 has the same first word latency as 3200cl16

but 3600mhz puts more stress on the IMC

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ymY9q3

i'd highly recommend waiting for entry level 30 series and RDNA2 GPUs

[reef isle]

hey is it cool if i drop my part list here for a quick look?

[devout wolf]

sure

[reef isle]

i mean i already have it all just not the gpu or cpu lmao

cool

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/VaderAnomaly/saved/

cpu is gonna be the new one btw

also anyone know when that keyboard gonna be in stock?

OH WAIt its in stock!!!! gonna order rn

[devout wolf]

hmm

what are you going to be doing with the pc?

[reef isle]

gamin

flight sim, squad, every game i can get lol

i know it might be over kill lol

my first pc

[devout wolf]

sure is lol

[reef isle]

hehe

[devout wolf]

motherboard is extremely overkill

[reef isle]

lil bit of future proof

i knowwww haha

[devout wolf]

i mean am4 is dying in a year

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[reef isle]

origianlly i had a tomahawk

wait is that my board

[devout wolf]

you don't need a $360 motherboard for a 3900x lol

lemme get you a good b550

[reef isle]

im getting the new cpu

[devout wolf]

should be same power draw

[reef isle]

im waiting for the 4900 or 5900 whatever they call it

[devout wolf]

because smaller architecture

[reef isle]

i know that u need an x570

[devout wolf]

nope

b550 is good enough

[reef isle]

hmmm

[devout wolf]

like, i'd definitely pair a 3900x with a b550 aorus pro

and it's like a $180 motherboard

[reef isle]

right

[devout wolf]

it's able to handle a 3950x

[reef isle]

but what about the new cpus, thats zen 3

[devout wolf]

well you see

as architectures get smaller

power draw decreases

3900x and 4900x should pull the same power

[reef isle]

o

[devout wolf]

like in gpus

the 980ti, 1080ti, 2080ti and 3080 all have the same power draw

but their performance varies wildly

also samsung tax

that ssd is beyond overpriced

[reef isle]

wait what 3080 has more power draw?

LOL tru

[devout wolf]

3080 pulls 320w

FE

a lotta corsair tax in this list too

[reef isle]

hmm, i prob cant get an fe anyway now lol

[devout wolf]

hmm i get the appeal of corsair+asus

painless syncing of rgb

[reef isle]

rgb ftw

got all steelseries peripherals lol

[devout wolf]

wait why is that one ml120 $250 lmao

[reef isle]

oh cuz

[devout wolf]

okay lemme change a few things here and there

[reef isle]

i got 9 fans right

and those are the price for 6

[devout wolf]

oh okay it's packs aight

[reef isle]

and then there a 3 pack

yeye

funny thing my fans came in yesterday

but not at my address

i went to the house that got it they wont open their door 🙂

[devout wolf]

i was gonna recommend a different aio, namely Arctic Freezer II, EVGA CLC or EK AIO

but corsair ecosystem

oh you will want an asus board right?

B550-F it is

no ram in the list 👀

[reef isle]

i also say jayz video on b550 vs x570

wtf really

[devout wolf]

ugh its hard

i want to put in corsair parts for the ecosystem

[reef isle]

G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

[devout wolf]

but it's overpriced

o okay

[reef isle]

i already have the motherboard, hdd, ram

[devout wolf]

oop

[reef isle]

lol

[devout wolf]

that motherboard literally costs 75% of my pc lmao

okay so for ssd

[reef isle]

oooof

already on the way also lol

but what would u get

i just wanted to go all out, originally i had way cheaper stuff

just said fug it lol

[devout wolf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/J6ndnQ/silicon-power-a80-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp002tbp34a80m28

faster sequential writes than the 970 evo

[reef isle]

woah that look good and gen 4

woah

[devout wolf]

inb4 i go to change the psu but you've already bought that too

[reef isle]

oh no not gen 4 lol

lol

i mean i ordered it all

but its gonna take some time

[devout wolf]

oh

[reef isle]

psu i had to get from their site

i heard samsung just had the best ssd idk

[devout wolf]

they're kinda overrated imo

it's not even the fastest

or gen4

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fVYQzy/sabrent-rocket-40-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-sb-rocket-nvme4-1tb

now this

[reef isle]

oh yeah saw they went on sale but not for 2TB

[devout wolf]

it's literally the speed of ddr2 1066 ram

like 8GBps sequential reads

[reef isle]

shit the ssd is so overpriced wtf

what does 970 even do better?

[devout wolf]

uhhh

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[reef isle]

lol

[fierce plaza]

reliable ig

[devout wolf]

eh it's just brand loyalty type beat i guess

[sterile river]

Samsung just announced the 980 pcie 4.0

The 1tb is 229, which puts it in line with the rocket.

[reef isle]

ill sell mine when it comes out i guess

unless you know the date its coming? the ill return mine now if its this year

The Samsung 980 PRO comes in three configurations: 1TB, 500GB, and 250GB, each available around the world inside of September, 2020. There’ll be a 2TB iteration available “by the end of the year.” Suggested pricing starts at approximately $90 for the 250GB version, $150 for 500GB, and $230 for 1TB. We’ll know more about the 2TB version soon!

found this oof

[calm forge]

https://wccftech.com/samsung-finally-bringing-the-980-pro-pcie-gen-4-0-nvme-ssd-to-market/

for those curios

this website covers most of it

not all of the details

[fierce plaza]

no one is talking about how its $150 for 500 gb when you can buy some other one for 60

then again they probably dont have dram

[crimson scroll]

sn550 for 500gb

no dram, no hbm, no problem

depends on use case obviously but for most consumers the sn550 is way more than enough

[devout wolf]

no one is talking about how its $150 for 500 gb when you can buy some other one for 60
@fierce plaza for an ssd that has the same speed as 1066mhz ram, yeah

[azure blaze]

Is a xeon e5 1620 better than e5 1660 for gaming?

[devout wolf]

well nope

it's a lower sku (20 vs 60) so it performs worse

and the 1660 is a lot better than the 1620

the 1620 is basically an i7-3770

the 1660 is almost at i7-6700 performance but with more cores

and ofc 1660 single core is tons better than 1620

[plain hound]

@devout wolf So glad its finally free

[devout wolf]

yup

i don't understand why everyone hates on epic

like they hate fortnite, and epic did pull that on apple

but just be happy its free

[unborn kiln]

Epic is revolutionary

[loud goblet]

Is it free?

[devout wolf]

yes

[unborn kiln]

Without them PC gaming wouldn't be the same

Just facts

[loud goblet]

Shit alright lemme go and buy it

Or should I say get it

[unborn kiln]

Yeah get it works

[loud goblet]

What are y’all’s specs?

Just curious

[devout wolf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RafeeSamith/saved/#view=tXQfvK

[unborn kiln]

R5 3600
Vega 64
16GB 3600mhz
B450 tomahawk max

To lazy to make a pcpp list

[loud goblet]

@devout wolf that is one expensive pc

Gotta be honest

[devout wolf]

full setup

my pc was $450

[unborn kiln]

@devout wolf that is one expensive pc
@loud goblet What do you mean?

[devout wolf]

this list includes my monitor, keyboard, mouse and steering wheel

[unborn kiln]

Thats very modest

[loud goblet]

Oh nvm

[unborn kiln]

What?

[loud goblet]

I was looking at your h build that was like 99999

[devout wolf]

lmao

[loud goblet]

Lol

[unborn kiln]

This always happens to @devout wolf

IDK why

[loud goblet]

Btw @devout wolf we got the same keyboard lol

[devout wolf]

ayy

[loud goblet]

Steelseries FTW

[unborn kiln]

This is his build

[loud goblet]

Noice

[unborn kiln]

@loud goblet Whats your specs?
Do you have a pc?

[loud goblet]

Yee

I7 10700
RTX 2070 super
16 gb vengeance ram

[unborn kiln]

Speed of RAM?

[loud goblet]

I got it a month ago

It’s 3200

I could have gotten 3600 but idk it was on sale

[unborn kiln]

Nice
Interesting that you went with an I7 tho
Any particular reason?

[loud goblet]

I like intel lol, I know there is more value in a ryzen chip but I’ve gotten used to intel x nvidia

[unborn kiln]

What do you gotten used to?

[loud goblet]

Lol idk I just think it’s a good combo

[unborn kiln]

Is the CPU unlocked?
Did you get the K?

[loud goblet]

Nah I am not cool enough to get it unlocked

Lol it’s because the normal version was on sale

[unborn kiln]

Ok
And cooler?

[loud goblet]

Just stock I am thinking of upgrading to a cooler master or a BeQuiet! Cooler but idk yet

[unborn kiln]

It came with a stock cooler?

[loud goblet]

Indeed

[unborn kiln]

Interesting, I never knew that

[loud goblet]

Lol yea it does

[unborn kiln]

I was sure that they dont

Ohhh nevermind

[loud goblet]

This is what it looks like

[unborn kiln]

The unlocked one doesnt come with a cooler

Ok

[loud goblet]

Yes

[unborn kiln]

I would 100% upgrade that

You will get way better speeds

[loud goblet]

Yea the temps can go up to 75 lol

[unborn kiln]

Oof

[loud goblet]

When it’s under load

[unborn kiln]

I am sure it is thermal throttling

[loud goblet]

But it idles at 35

Probably lol

[unborn kiln]

Or at least not boosting

[loud goblet]

Lol

I don’t think so either

[fierce plaza]

what

[loud goblet]

Lol

[devout wolf]

Yea the temps can go up to 75 lol
@loud goblet hey that's not bad at all

I am sure it is thermal throttling
@unborn kiln nope, far from it

[unborn kiln]

It's definitely not boosting

[devout wolf]

Just stock I am thinking of upgrading to a cooler master or a BeQuiet! Cooler but idk yet
@loud goblet just get an arctic freezer 33 for $25, considering the stock cooler performance and that you aren't overclocking; it's good

it is definitely boosting too

[unborn kiln]

The temps are responsible 💯
But def no boost

@loud goblet just get an arctic freezer 33 for $25, considering the stock cooler performance and that you aren't overclocking; it's good
@devout wolf I live that cooler

[devout wolf]

it's literally at 75c

there is no reason it won't boost

tjmax is at like 95c

[unborn kiln]

Is it 75 while gaming or 75 under full load?

Yeah my bad I ment boost not thermal throttling

[devout wolf]

When it’s under load

[unborn kiln]

Cause that's really impressive for an Intel stock cooler

[devout wolf]

it's the new one

[unborn kiln]

Oh ok I assumed they actually spent a little time designing it

Haven't really looked into it tbh

[calm forge]

aight well

imma get off

if anyone needs help

just dm me

or wait until tmr

[neat vessel]

I need help getting a 3080

Jk I’m not a bot

[brazen palm]

I idle around 36 on my DRP4 and I might hit around 60C max or 65C

If I'm benchmarking I hit around 72 since I'm OCed.

[noble oak]

@loud goblet just get an arctic freezer 33 for $25, considering the stock cooler performance and that you aren't overclocking; it's good
