yeah it's a good motherboard

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

okay thank u

#

if i use the 4tb sata for games and the 1tb for c drive thats a good idea rigt?

crimson scroll Nov 4, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

yeah

#

i would say store your most commonly played games on the ssd as well

#

and movies, pictures, documents, etc. go on the hdd

#

although your terminology is a bit off

#

there are sata ssds and sata hdds

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

yes cus ssd is faster right

crimson scroll Nov 4, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

i assume you mean the latter

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

ye i mean hdd

#

i forgot to type that

crimson scroll Nov 4, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

yeah, ssds are faster. sata ssds cap out at around 550mbps, sata hdds at around 170mbps

#

pcie4.0 nvme caps out currently at around 4000mbps

#

but you're not going to really notice the difference in games, at least not right now, between nvme and sata ssds

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

i have a gen 3

static pecan Nov 4, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

Yeah the laptop I'm currently using came with a 512GB NVME drive that I had a couple games on when I first got it and then later added a 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD and moved my games over to it and I cannot discern a difference in load times between the two drives

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

okay thanks

bold drum Nov 4, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

I want the new amd cards for the extra features and stuff

#

Actually idk if that’s the right way to say it

#

Cuz I really don’t know if I care about ray tracing too much I just want a card that can push the game faster and as long as it’s 60+ frames I’m fine with it

crimson scroll Nov 4, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

so...not for the extra features and stuff then

bold drum Nov 4, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

I mean rage mode over locking kinda nice but that’s typical to over lock anyways

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

ye

#

i dont think im gonna use rage mode

noble oak Nov 4, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

whats a good budget CPU that is quite budget. I would prefer one which can run games well like GTA 5 and Forza Horizon 4.

#

Nothing over 200 aud (150usd)

#

I dont have a preference for any brands.

lusty palm Nov 4, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

amd ryzen 5 3600 ?

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

I kinda want an extremely fast cpu idk why it’s probably not worth it tho

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

rage mode isn't overclocking

#

rage mode is increasing the power target slider

#

it might get you some extra mhz but it's not specifically increasing the clock

lusty palm Nov 5, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

no didnt they said rage mode is one click overclocking?

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

gasp

#

they didn't use the right technical terminology

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

No, there's a separate one click overclock within Radeon Software. Like Pika said Rage Mode is literally just like moving the power target slider slightly to the right in another OC software like Afterburner

#

Rage Mode is the absolute most basic form of "I want slightly more performance out of this GPU but I don't want to get into actual OCing"

#

Realistically it only gives you a 1% or maybe 2% performance increase

#

Manual OCs will still be the only real way to get any tangible performance increase out of the RX6000 cards

#

Of course we won't even know how well the cards themselves actually handle overclocking until the end of the month at least

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

so what cards would you recommend from amd?

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

depending on budget, 5600/xt, 5700/xt, 470, 480, 570, 580

#

we don't have any third party numbers on the upcoming rx6000 series

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

The 580 is still a solid 1080p card for a lot of AAA games but I wouldn't really go below that as far as older gen Polaris is concerned. The 5600XT is the card that replaces the 580 for 1080p King and the 5700XT is geared more towards 1440p but would still be a good, really high FPS 1080p card

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

how much does the 5700xt cost?

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

Anywhere from $380-$420 USD depending on the AIB

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

hmmm

#

would it be more worth it to get the rx 6800?

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

I'm personally going with the 6800 since I'm building an entirely new rig after having used a gaming laptop with a GTX 1650 in it for over a year now and paring it with a new 1440p 144hz display but depending on your budget and use case, like if you're going to stick with 1080p, then something like the 5600XT would be more than adequate or a 5700XT if the price drops significantly once the RX6000 cards are released

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

hmmm

#

what about the rx vega 64?

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

terrible price/perf

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

The Vega cards have terrible price to performance and run like furnaces lmao

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

only get it if you have a need for the vram

#

and i think the radeon vii is better than that

#

for vram/workstation purposes

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

The Radeon VII exists to pretty much be what Vegas should have been when it originally launched, but they're not even manufacturing the VII anymore are they?

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

the radeon VII i heard it is pretty good maybe i should get that

#

i feel like im missing out on something if i dont get the right card so im tring to learn as much as i can

#

i dont know much about this kind of stuff

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

they aren't anymore

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

The VII was very meh on price/performance for gaming anyways. It was mainly geared towards being a workstation card

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

^

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

i see

#

so id rather go with the 5000xt series

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

yes

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

The two best options for last gen are the 5600XT if you're sticking with 1080p gaming or the 5700XT if you want to get into 1440p

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

also i believe the radeon vii has very jacked up prices

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

hmmm

#

well see when the 6800 actually comes out ill probably get a card for 1440p gaming

#

Would it be a waste since I’m not using the card to it’s full potential?

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

What do you mean?

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

Like it has potential to run 4k but idk if I’m gonna get a 4k monitor at all or if I want to

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

4K is 100% not worth it IMO if all you're doing is gaming. Besides, the 5700XT and 6800 are both 1440p cards with the 6800XT being the only real 4K GPU from AMD besides the 6900XT which is just completely unreasonable for any normal person lmao

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

True and I don’t think I’m gonna get 6800xt cuz of the comparisons to the 3070 and the 80 dollar difference but I don’t know yet

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

The 3070 is basically just a 2080TI for $500 instead of $1200. It never really beats the 2080TI in framerates, especially at 1440p. If the third party benchmarks show the 6800 consistently edging out the 3070 then the $80 price bump is justified IMO

#

If those AMD charts they showed are wrong, however, and the 6800 only really "competes" with the 3070 without ever really beating it then AMD will have shot themselves in the foot by asking a premium for their card VS the 3070

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

I wonder if amd has mid range cards in between because there could possibly be a 3060ti etc

#

But I think the 6800 is a great choice for me

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

There definitely will be mid range cards like a 6700, 6600, etc coming down the line but we probably won't see those until early next year

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

I see

#

I think 6800 the best choice

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

I think the zen 3 cpus are absolutely worth it

median rivet Nov 5, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

Because 240hz is bae

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

it's a lot pricier for a smaller improvement relative to 144hz

median rivet Nov 5, 2020, 4:34 AM

Yeah there is that, only reason I got a 240 is because I needed a new mon and it was hella price off

#

Tips?

#

Mount it higher?

static pecan Nov 5, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

If you want to keep it on the front then rotate it 180 degrees so the pump is at the bottom of the case and the tubes are going up although it looks like you might have some clearance issues with that, otherwise mount it to the top of the case with the pump pointed towards the front panel and the tubes going down

#

Having the pump up like that puts more strain on it which can lead to a shorter lifespan and also cause more system noise

Yeah if you can't get a proper front mount then the best thing to do is a top mount and move those two top fans to the front

how does the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 match up

calm forge Nov 5, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

to what generation of i5

bold drum Nov 5, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

9400F

calm forge Nov 5, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

uh

#

9400f is cheaper

heady magnet Nov 5, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

I'm pretty impressed with my 3600x so far

calm forge Nov 5, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

and offers the same performance as the 3600

#

so

#

go with intel for this

heady magnet Nov 5, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

Well..the upgradability for intel at the moment is pretty dismal...With the AM4 at least you have pop-in upgrade paths without a full mobo replacement. AMD is also much more power efficient at the moment

calm forge Nov 5, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

hes building it for his friend

#

so whether his friend decides to upgrade or not

#

is up to him

heady magnet Nov 5, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

Also, the 9400f only have 9mb of cache, the 3600 has 32...that's a huge difference

Fans too loud

crimson scroll Nov 5, 2020, 11:32 PM

so drop the fan curve; for a specified temperature, use a lower fan speed

arctic delta Nov 5, 2020, 11:33 PM

Well I knew that but I've been trying to do that but the problem is that when I set the curves in bios it sounds just fine but then as soon as windows boots its a jet engine

fluid pond Nov 10, 2020, 3:57 PM

devout wolf Nov 10, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

sickleflow has
-better bearings
-better airflow (62cfm vs 59cfm)
-a lot better static pressure (2.5mmH2O vs 2.1; important for radiators and heatsinks)

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

what's your budget

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

about 1,000-1,100

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

and what are you doing with the system?

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

gonna be playing games and making art.
specifically these games: r6, overwatch, gta v, JSAB, apex legends, minecraft

#

some other misc games as well.

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

seems pretty esports focused

#

how heavy on the art? heavy blender/video editing?

#

or more games focused

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

more games focused, i use firealpaca for art which isn't demanding

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

okay, two potential options i see here

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rRBW4d this is the general outline I'd go for

System Builder

#

the cpu I'd choose either the 3600 or the 5600, it depends on availability and how much of the budget you want to spend

#

the gpu i'd pick potentially one of the new amd cards or the 3070 but again, depends on availability

fluid pond Nov 10, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

sickleflow has
-better bearings
-better airflow (62cfm vs 59cfm)
-a lot better static pressure (2.5mmH2O vs 2.1; important for radiators and heatsinks)
@devout wolf alright so go for sickleflow

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

the other option is to cut down on cost and go for something like a 5700xt, will be overkill for the esports titles but good for gta v

#

and ideally you'd be playing at 1440p 144hz with those cards

#

if you wanted to save more money, go for something like a 1660s, it would still do the esports titles just fine, you'd be looking more at 1080p 144fps

#

so it really depends on what focus of games

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

any accessories you're able to recommend? monitors, mice, keyboards, headsets,etc. a case would be nice as well- this is also my first build.

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

keyboards, mice, those are very subjective

#

hard to test out now with covid but look at rocket jump ninja's guides on youtube and his website

#

should be a good intro to mice

#

I put a case in the list but there's lots of airflow focused options if you don't like the look of that one

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

alr

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

as for headsets, i recommend standalone headphones + a mic rather than a headset, usually better audio quality

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

ah ok,, any suggestions?

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

the shp 9500 + modmic is a frequently cited choice

#

for monitors, lots of good choices too, it depends on what panel type you want, size, refresh rate, curved or not

#

different panel types have different characteristics; better colors, better response times, better contrast, etc.

noble oak Nov 10, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

understandable. looking for a monitor that's 100-200 dollars.

#

Any specs y o u looking for

crimson scroll Nov 10, 2020, 5:02 PM

If you stretch your budget a tiny bit more and drop the hard drive, you can fit a 5600 in the budget, but availability is so bad

I would probably look at something like a x470+2700x, that should run him about 200-250, then you might be able to squeeze in a 1080 for 220, a PSU for 40, a case for 30, and a ssd for 80-90

#

best case scenario

#

hmm wait

#

i'd go with a 1070 instead, forgot about the ram

#

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap i'd trust this over ebay and facebook and other local swap apps for used stuff, better prices usually too

Wouldn’t I be able to save a bit more on the gpu by doing a 1650 for him instead

#

He also wants me to build it so that’s gonna be fun

crimson scroll Nov 11, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

you'd save a bit, yeah

#

1650 going for around 135, 1070 around 175-200

#

looks like the 2700x has been going about 150, the x470s go from 110-150 so you might go with a b450 instead, 1070 for around 175, 16gb for $40-50, cases I would actually look local or buy new since shipping will kill most deals

#

with a weaker gpu your video playback will be slower but most of the actual work is on the cpu

#

#

the SSD and mobo are new on that list, everything else represents a used price

#

but you can definitely get a used motherboard for cheaper, probably save like 20-30 bucks

tall cove Nov 11, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

Would it be possible to potentially save by doing a 2tb seagate HDD for boot and storage?

crimson scroll Nov 11, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

harder to save money on the SSD so you might as well go new, especially if he's writing a lot, you don't want one with as lot of cycles on it. The sn550 is pretty good, not as great as the 970 evo plus or sn750 or sx8200 for video editing

#

you could, but it would be slow as hell

#

maybe go 500gb ssd with a 2tb hdd, do all your work on the ssd, then overnight have the files copy to the hdd

#

video editing just likes fast speeds

tall cove Nov 11, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

I wish he would be a little more open with the budget but I get you

#

Much appreciated good sir, I also know he was somewhat pressed for Intel but I could definitely convince him to say ok to a Ryzen build

crimson scroll Nov 11, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

no prob. Intel has definitely held the lead in adobe products until the last ryzen launch, but in general i'd say it's more expensive for an equivalent tier of product, since the motherboards are more expensive if you want to overclock and get full performance, and you need to buy a cooler. If you get a non overclockable chip it's a bit of a waste

#

i assumed he was using premiere at least but the same should hold true for things like vegas pro, color grading in davinci, etc

asus strix b440

#

Is this good

#

well first

#

it depends on what you want to do with the system

#

b440 doesn't exist, i assume you mean b450

#

the strix mobos are...okay, mostly for looks

#

the a1 has ...middle of the pack thermals for sff pcs so it's fine

#

but yeah, whether it's good or not depends on the budget and what you're doing with the system

#

especially since the 2700x is two generations old
