yes, what is the problem

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

How would I plug them in, in like what order

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

what do you mean order

#

you can plug whichever one you want in first

#

as long as you connect the power switch leads to the power switch plug

#

Tells me how I should plug them I.

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

correct

#

so plug them in...how it tells you to plug them in

#

which one you do FIRST doesn't matter

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

They have to go on specific headers but the order in which you plug them in doesn't matter

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:44 AM

One more thing

#

I don’t. Have a usb front connector

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

okay

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Is that normal

#

Or not

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

Well, does your case have a USB port on the front?

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

i mean, the tomahawk max has plenty of front usb port headers

#

what case do you have

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

H510

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

🤮

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

K

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

If there's a USB port on the front of the case but no USB front panel connector then you should contact the manufacturer and get a replacement case lol

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

the case has one usb c 3.1 and one usb A 3.1 though

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

I would it be this

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

so yeah, it should have headers

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

📎 image0.jpg

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

yes

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

So plug that into the USB 3 header on the mobo

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

that's the usb 3 header

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

How about this one

#

📎 image0.jpg

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

that's molex

#

you use it to power things

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

Where would I put it

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

your psu

#

what's the other end connected to

#

i'm guessing a fan hub or leds

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

The thing is connected to my psu

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

so you probably don't need it...

#

i would focus on what comes out of your case and motherboard rather than what comes out of your psu

#

especially if your psu is not fully modular

#

you need to power most things in the case, you don't need to necessarily attach everything that is on your psu

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

My psu is non modular

#

This is how it looks

#

📎 image0.jpg

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

yeah so you are going to have stuff coming out of it you don't use

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

One more thing I have to plug this is right?

#

📎 image0.jpg

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

i honestly cannot tell what that is

#

what's the other side attached to

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

There

#

📎 image0.jpg

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Pretty sure that's the USB- C header

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Don’t plug it in?

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

no, do

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Why?

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

that is indeed the usbc header

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Is it important

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

if you don't you won't be able to use your front io usb c

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

The oval looking port on the front panel of your case is USB-C

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

you don't have to i guess you just won't be able to use the port

static pecan Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Plug that connector into the USB-C header on the motherboard

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Ok

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

i recommend looking at the case documentation as well

#

that way you know what cable is what

slim plinth Dec 10, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

One thing where would I plug this in

#

📎 image0.jpg

calm forge Dec 10, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

is it a daisy chain cable

#

is it connected to other sata headers

#

it depends on what uses sata power in your pc

#

so if you don't have anything else that uses sata power, you don't need to plug it in

#

i'm guessing its a daisy chain cable, correct me if i'm wrong

crimson scroll Dec 10, 2020, 4:46 AM

the blurry one in front? looks like it, yeah

the prongs in the back? harder to tell

mortal patrol Dec 10, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Also, if you wanna go 240Hz
You'll need a mid tier GPU, though if I'm correct, any current RTX30 series or Radeon6000 would serve you fine
The 2600 will bottleneck most current tier GPU's, so an upgrade to ryzen 5000 is recommended

earnest whale Dec 13, 2020, 1:01 AM

(Apple)

jade rapids Dec 13, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

Micro USB and derivatives were invented because of European conservation laws

#

They got tired of all the E-waste from so many different types of cables, literally every model phone had a different one. So they came up with a standard that all manufacturers had to follow

crimson scroll Dec 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

i don't believe that's the truth

#

it's true that the EU has gotten angry at apple for proprietary connectors

#

but the original usb standard was developed by pc companies who wanted to make it easier to connect external devices

jade rapids Dec 13, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

I mean the phone end, I agree USB A was more a PC thing. Problem is, as the standard evolved, while the USB A connector remained more or less universal, the other end did not. USB C was an attempt to change that, so everything could have the same connector on both ends. Apple's Lightning was the precursor to Type C, but of course Apple is stubborn so nobody else used it, and they haven't accepted USB C for the iPhone. Also, all the alt modes for USB C mean that it's still not really universal

crimson scroll Dec 13, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

just checked, the eu smartphone supply standard came out in 2009

#

and yes, it's annoying that usb c could mean display, or just power and file data

#

or any number of others

jade rapids Dec 13, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

Very annoying, yes. I have a USB C on my laptop and I still have no clue quite what it supports, because there's no documentation that says specifically what standard it is, and I'm never quite sure if issues are with the adaptors or the port itself since even the hubs and converters don't support everything.

you would be fine with 400-500

in furmark the 3060ti FE draws around 200w non-OC

the 3500x will draw less than 120w

yall think a 650W PSU would be fine for a R5 3600 and 3060 ti?

which i think is weird

it's fine

i just posted the wattage draw of the 3500x and the 3060ti

scroll up

650 is actually right around 50% utilization under max load so it'll be efficient too

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 2:49 AM

OEM part that is more of a southeast asia thing

similar to the 3600 except no smt

ahhhh ok

i was soooo confused

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 2:50 AM

well, similar in non-multithread applications

arctic delta Dec 14, 2020, 2:50 AM

yeah

#

if you can get a 3600 for < $200 its still a great processor

#

everyone saying the 3600 is dead with zen 3

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

imo it should be 3300x for 120, 2600 for 120, 3600 for 150, 5600x for 300 right now

#

we've seen the 3600 for 155, it sucks to pay even 180 for it right now

arctic delta Dec 14, 2020, 2:52 AM

3600 for 150 would be so nice, i got mine for 190

#

i didnt care tho

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 2:52 AM

I just want mainly the ryzen 7

And parts that work well together

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

what are you doing with the pc and what's your budget

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

1,400

#

The pc is for gaming

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

why the ryzen 7 3700x specifically then

#

it's a last gen chip

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

And for like school and other things

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

and it isn't worth it over the 3600 for gaming

#

unless your school work involves some specific applications it's trivial for modern chips

#

office and web browsing is super easy

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

I see

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

anyways, looks like you have access to a microcenter

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Yeah I do

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

physical access right

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Yes

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

okay

#

you can look into the 9700k at $200 at microcenter

#

it'll be a dead end chipset, but for pure gaming, it's a good deal

#

the case you've picked has poor airflow

#

if you like the overall aesthetic, look into the lancool 215 or lancool II mesh

#

the ram is fine, but if you don't mind non-LED ram you can get 3200cl16 for around $55-60

#

i'd also pick up an nvme drive, they're close enough or even cheaper compared to sata drives, and it's less cables to deal with

#

and theoretically faster

#

look at something like an sn550 for around the same price

#

i don't know what price you're getting the 2060 at

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

😳😳😳😳😳

#

You know your stuff

#

Thank you

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:14 AM

i'll make a list on microcenter's site

#

i don't love their selection of psus so i might honestly leave it off

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

Oh okay

#

What motherboard do you recommend

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

so with am4, since you have access to the 5600x, you can do two things. go cheaper on the motherboard since the vrms are honestly fine on pretty much all of them, and in that case i'd go with the b550m pro4

#

Or, splurge a little more, get something like the b550 aorus elite v2

#

first one is $100, second is $160

#

the share button apparently doesn't work on microcenter's website

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Oh okay I’ll check it out

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DpkgF8 these are the rough parts you should be going for

System Builder

#

ignore the prices

#

here's the microcenter list

📎 unknown.png

#

keep in mind they're out of stock on most gpus so you just gotta pay attention when stuff's coming in at your store

#

ideally you'd be going for a 3070 on the budget but they're really hard to find, at msrp and just in general, and the 5700xt is still a good card

#

with this build you'll be aiming for 1440p 144hz

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:22 AM

more bandwidth, more stream processors, more ROPs, more texture units

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

Also do I have to get the ryzen 5 or could I get the ryzen 7

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

i mean

#

you could get the 3700x

#

it'll be worse game performance

#

and the 5800x is not a good buy right now

#

you don't gain much gaming performance, if any, over the 5600x

#

and you'd be better off saving money in most cases on the gpu and putting that towards a 5900x instead for production

#

if you're on a budget and need the extra cores for something, the 3700x has a place. Just not in your build imo

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

Oh I see

#

What’s the difference between intel and ryzen

crimson scroll Dec 14, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

that's a vague question

#

there's a lot of different architectural and technological differences between the processors produced by intel and amd

#

but the most important thing is which one has better performance and fits your budget, for the applications you care about

#

and right now, the newest generation of amd cpus is better in most games

bold parrot Dec 14, 2020, 4:45 AM

Which one has better performance out of the two

depends on what you're doing i guess

if you only play a couple of games, maybe league, cs, and the occasional singleplayer game you'll uninstall after

#

I don’t uninstall games, well at least I don’t like doing it :/
