if you get into a 5950x, it makes a big difference

[idle bridge]

Or a 3090

[crimson scroll]

also liquid coolers in general are better at handling bursty workloads

like games

[idle bridge]

Because more heat soak

Also with an AIO you might have an easier time fitting 2-3 fans on there (Assuming you only put on one side)

[crimson scroll]

what do you mean

[idle bridge]

Most tower cooler usually only have space for 1 - 2 fans

[crimson scroll]

you mean on the cooler?

[idle bridge]

ye

Some do fit some crazy amount like 3-4

👀

[crimson scroll]

show me a tower cooler that fits four fans

also, yes, but it's not just the number of fans that matters

and you can usually do push/pull for aios but you get diminishing returns

with a tower cooler you could also mount more fans on the case itself

doesn't necessarily mean better cooling

[idle bridge]

yes

[craggy sparrow]

Exactly like an o11 with 10 fans doesn’t mean it has amazing airflow

[tidal anchor]

so basically my case is too small

[crimson scroll]

better example is the abkoncore ramesses 780

12 fans, no ventilation

o11 does have ventilation for those fans to pull air

[celest schooner]

@tidal anchor I don't know what your trying to do but from my own personal experience, that's what I can tell you

[tidal anchor]

hmmm

[idle bridge]

Not a fan of the uni fans

[tidal anchor]

well its gonna be for gaming

[idle bridge]

When r u guys expecting AMD Ryzen 7 5800x to launch?

[crimson scroll]

?

[idle bridge]

oops

the uhh

5700x

[crimson scroll]

don't know

[tidal anchor]

Hasnt it already

[idle bridge]

No

[crimson scroll]

the 5800x has, the 5700x hasn't

[idle bridge]

We only got 5600x, 5800x, 5900x, and 5950x

I made a typo

[tidal anchor]

okay

so a lot of people are telling me the 5600x is better value than the 3800x

[idle bridge]

Depends on the workload

[tidal anchor]

Yet the 3800x is faster has more cores

[crimson scroll]

lol

[idle bridge]

5600x will beat the 3800x in gaming

[crimson scroll]

didn't i already explain this

[idle bridge]

you did

[crimson scroll]

also the 3800x is a bad value compared to the 3700x

[idle bridge]

yep

5800x is also bad value compared to 5900x, assuming they both are sold at MSRP

For 100 USD more you get 4 more cores with faster boost clock

[tidal anchor]

so is there a catch with the 5900x compared to the 3800x

[idle bridge]

wdym

[crimson scroll]

the "catch" is that it's expensive

[tidal anchor]

the ryzen 9 correct?

[crimson scroll]

there's multiple ryzen 9 cpus

but yes, the 5900x is a ryzen 9 cpu

[tidal anchor]

alright lemme check it out

JESUS

[crimson scroll]

did you ever mention your budget

[tidal anchor]

if its under 2k ill take it

hm

[crimson scroll]

if you're just gaming, you don't need a 5900x

[tidal anchor]

welllllll

i also am gonna use this as a school computer

so im gonna have a lot of projects on here

[crimson scroll]

yeah...most school projects aren't very intensive

what kind of projects

[tidal anchor]

plenty of papers, slideshows projects

[crimson scroll]

you can write papers on any modern processor

same with powerpoint

you don't need a 5900x for that

[noble oak]

#archive-user-support plz need help with something

[crimson scroll]

it's like getting a lamborghini to drive from your house to the grocery store

[somber lily]

I want a pc for 800€ and a rtx 2060 any recomendations?

[crimson scroll]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z8PVHz @tidal anchor

[raw marsh]

3080 suprim? Thats pricey

[crimson scroll]

cheapest 3080 listed

in his budget anyways

[raw marsh]

Realistically it isn't the cheapest

[crimson scroll]

sure

but i didn't feel like setting a custom price for it

evga ftw3 will set you back about 870 anyways

it's not far off from the high end models

[tidal anchor]

Jesus a 3080

And you sure that's good cooling

[crimson scroll]

you can buy more fans if you want

[tidal anchor]

So what about the one I had before?

With the corsair ones

[crimson scroll]

the corsair what

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qWQq9N this list?

[tidal anchor]

Mhmm

What about that cooler?

[crimson scroll]

you could swap out the fuma 2 for that, sure

seems kinda pricy though

ek 360 or arctic 360 are probably better performers for cheaper

and a 5600x doesn't really need liquid cooling

if you want the aesthetics, go for it

[tidal anchor]

Hmmmm

[raw marsh]

Arctic is meant to provide the best cooling solution for ryzen

[tidal anchor]

Really?

[raw marsh]

yes

[crimson scroll]

?

what is that supposed to mean

sounds like a marketing statement from arctic

[raw marsh]

Would you prefer i word it differently?

[tidal anchor]

No offense but I got a hard time believing that

[crimson scroll]

i mean, i'd like to know what you mean

do you mean arctic's goal is to provide the best possible cooling?

or do you mean arctic does provide the best possible cooling

and what defines best cooling solution

[raw marsh]

No, but it has the best results for at least the 5600x

[crimson scroll]

for noise normalized, sure

if we're talking about the liquid freezer ii 360

but also it's expensive compared to something like the fuma 2

and your gains will be marginal

so in terms of price/performance for a low power part like the 5600x, it's not the best

[raw marsh]

Still in his budget?

[crimson scroll]

yes

[tidal anchor]

If it's below 2k then ur good

[crimson scroll]

my point is to your statement that it has the best results for the 5600x

[raw marsh]

Then its just his choice wether he wants an AIO or air cooler

[crimson scroll]

yes, which i already said

[raw marsh]

Sure, ok

[tidal anchor]

Damn I forgot what a A1O is I'm sure when I learn what it is I'll remember

[crimson scroll]

all in one

[tidal anchor]

All in one?

[raw marsh]

liquid cooler for the CPU

[tidal anchor]

Ah

[raw marsh]

Hmm my motherboard arrived without a delivery box

That's cool

[inland badger]

nani?

[inland badger]

what am i looking at here ret

[crimson scroll]

a $5000 part

[inland badger]

it just looks like sheet metal. and youre telling me its 5k?

[crimson scroll]

it retailed for that much

[inland badger]

what even is it

[crimson scroll]

quadro k6000

[inland badger]

researching brb

oh.

oh.

[crimson scroll]

it's a workstation card

[inland badger]

beginner pc user here, whats that mean

like 3d rendering?

[crimson scroll]

yeah

generally workstation cards will have more vram (memory) and specialized cores

so the gaming performance isn't great compared to normal consumer gaming cards

[inland badger]

ahhh okay thank you for explaining

you said workstation card and caveman brain kicked in

[devout wolf]

the a6000 looks beautiful

[crimson scroll]

looks like it has terrible cooling

[raw marsh]

Haven't they learned to drop the blower design

Its basically a box

[crimson scroll]

this is not that bright

this is max brightness

@minor verge

[little quiver]

I really dont know where to put this, but I think you people would find this funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csYUReEhtvQ

"smells like Nvidia"

[little quiver]

got this from a yt video, is it any good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Cjf3gJ#compatibility_notes

[crimson scroll]

for a budget build? it's alright

real bad deal on that ram

crappy psu

probably better off getting an old optiplex + 1050ti

[inland badger]

im thinking of getting a new keyboard, preferably a 60%. and i was kind of eyeing the ducky one 2 mini cherry mx red. thoughts?

nvm, saving up for the mecha mini, cherry mx reds

[sinful cypress]

Does anyone know a good cheap pc build

[crimson scroll]

define cheap

for what purpose?

and what region

[little quiver]

hows this looking? two of my friends want the cheapest but still tolerable gaming setup they can buy https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[crimson scroll]

you need to link the actual list

you linked the default editor link

[little quiver]

oops https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dm84j2

[crimson scroll]

that memory is slow

gt1030 is....not good and the a400 has a bad controller

[little quiver]

any recommendations for memory?

or graphics cards

[crimson scroll]

the oloy 3200cl16 is $62

and a 3200g/3400g would beat out the gt1030

[crimson scroll]

i would recommend taking a screenshot

it'll be much easier to read

[cerulean drift]

Intel core i7 10700
Rtx 2060

Is it good?

[crimson scroll]

depends on the price

[cerulean drift]

1399

[crimson scroll]

ehh

not really

[little quiver]

any good? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MHx9TW/zotac-video-card-zt7111520l

[raw marsh]

Thats just a GT 730

Not especially good

[little quiver]

any other suggestion? I have a friend who wants a really cheap but still tolerable pc and im not sure about the gpu

[raw marsh]

Bets idea might be to keep checking local sellers and marketplaces for a good deal on a 1060 or something similar at a good used price.

[crimson scroll]

or again, go the APU route

[raw marsh]

Thats definately more price effective if he just wants to play CS, valorant or something similar

[digital light]

What do you mean by cheap
You have to set a price if you wanna know a good build

[stuck gate]

yo

does someone wanna rate my rig

[bold drum]

Guys this is the friend I was talking about

Give them your parts

[stuck gate]

ok give me a min

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KjzXZZ

[idle bridge]

Lol I have a gt 1030 in my basement, those are bruh moment

[pulsar jewel]

i am still missing most of the parts

[raw marsh]

You didn't really pay $100 for the windows license like you put on the list right?

[prime thicket]

I really hope not 😂

[safe pebble]

that would be kinda big sad moment

[wind minnow]

that would be bruh af

[stuck gate]

rip me

[bold drum]

i forgot to tell you about unactivated version frick

[little quiver]

im trying to get this a little cheaper, any suggestions? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pstrLP

[idle bridge]

This is what I would recommend: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k9P9Bc

The f in the i5-10400f means no integrated graphics, but your pc doesn't really get much use out of it and it's 20 bucks cheaper, I chose not to change the mobo cause I assume you looked through the specs and compared it, I changed the SSD to a WD blue 500gb M.2.

The PSU is way over spec, but I left it in assuming you might upgrade in the future. You will also need fans and a CPU cooler

All in all it's about 60 USD cheaper with the same performance

[raw marsh]

Don't pay $300 for a damn 1050ti by any means

[idle bridge]

oh lmao I first saw that now 2 sec

You can actually get an RTX 3060 ti for 400 dollars

[raw marsh]

I mean you cant

[idle bridge]

at best buy

[raw marsh]

But ideally you should be able to

[raw marsh]

Really?

[idle bridge]

If you check at the right time you can get it at best buy for 400 USD

[raw marsh]

Im in the UK so i don't know, but over here you really wouldn't

[idle bridge]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-8gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-graphics-card-steel-and-black/6439402.p?skuId=6439402&intl=nosplash

400 dollars for an RTX 3060 ti when they drop

the 3060 ti has roughly the performance of an RTX 2080 super, while the 1050 ti is uh

Oh bruh the 3060 ti is about 4 times better then 1050 ti at only a bit higher cost

[idle bridge]

Alright now I'll give you my recommendation, you take the list I've given you: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k9P9Bc

And if you can afford the extra 70-80 dollars or so, you'll be getting four times the performance compared to if you were using the 1050 ti, that's a big differente.

[tall cove]

The issue is just the market rn

[idle bridge]

tru

😳 Stock checker bots on youtube

[tall cove]

Like every gpu is through the roof

[idle bridge]

*except at best buy

[tall cove]

I just used the Newegg shuffle and it arrives on the second

but now i need a new psu and stuff to the point where i wanna just do a new build

[idle bridge]

rip

The only thing I can recommend over spec'ing often is the PSU

It's literally the one item where the performance wont change over time (by much, they do degrade a bit), compared to a GPU where games become more demanding, and for CPUs to push higher framerates.

it's like, use 20 extra usd for a 750 watt psu now, save maybe 120 usd later if you had bought an underspeced PSU

[tall cove]

yeah imma be jumping from a 500w to a 750 because of that

[idle bridge]

or 800 watt

[tall cove]

yeah

[idle bridge]

once you got above 800 watts price just kinda goes brr

[tall cove]

yeah thats why i was looking at Rosewill or Evga 750 fully modulars so i can also cut down on the cables i have in my basement, because a nonmodular hurts sometimes

[idle bridge]

it do be like that

semi-modular also prevents you from using custom sleeved cables

[tall cove]

I have customs on top of the nonmodular, and id still probably use them in the new build

if i go that route

[little quiver]

thats the only thing I know I would change is the GPU but with the prices right now I just put that one in there

thanks

[idle bridge]

np

[raw marsh]

Could be an issue of surge protection with your power supply?

[wind minnow]

yeah most likely it is the psu

[idle bridge]

I would guess the PSU too at as glance, but it might be instability if you have something overclocked

[bold drum]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KjzXZZ. What do you guys think of this pc?

[crimson scroll]

badly mismatched cpu and mobo

expensive ssd, expensive gpu, don't need to buy windows

4000d has better airflow

[bold drum]

This is my friends parts I don’t think he actually got the stuff online he went to micro center to get them

But what could happen if you mismatch cpu and mobo?

[crimson scroll]

i mean, nothing

it's just a really expensive motherboard compared to the cpu

if there's a specific use case for it maybe

but i'd bet the b550a-pro would be just fine for their needs

[bold drum]

He’s just gaming at the moment

I’m surprised tho he went to a micro center where a professional helped him wouldn’t they know these kind of things?

[crimson scroll]

it also depends on the availability at microcenter

and what exactly he told them

and also they might try to upsell

[bold drum]

True

[crimson scroll]

and also since you said he didn't buy online

he got a $20 combo deal on the cpu and mobo from mc

so i don't know what the prices are

hard to judge

[bold drum]

So he already got the parts should he sell them?

And get better parts

[crimson scroll]

uh

i can't really answer that

is he happy with the performance?

also you're generally not going to make a profit off of selling parts

[bold drum]

I think he is because he is a casual gamer

[crimson scroll]

then don't sell

[bold drum]

But if he sells the parts he can save money can’t he?

[crimson scroll]

that would again depend on what prices he bought the parts for

you haven't given enough information to make a decision on that

[idle bridge]

Mobo is too expensive compared to the CPU, RAM is good, SSD too expensive, 4000d has better airflow (Might also want to go for Phanteks P400a dRGB), you shouldn't buy windows 10 for 100 dollars, you can get it for much cheaper,

Also GPU is WAYYY to overpriced, might as well splurgle an extra 10 dollars and get the RTX 3060 TI at best buy when they drop stock

[crimson scroll]

they already said their friend bought stuff at microcenter so we don't know any of the prices

[idle bridge]

bruh

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X6nrLP If you can change some of it, this is what I would recommend.

I would estimate that you save around 200 USD with better performance

[bold drum]

Just curious are tech usually out of stock a lot or is this just COVID I think usually when I went to micro center stock was pretty good

[crimson scroll]

it's a combination of a lot of things

covid is one of the factors for sure

a lot of them are connected too

stuck at home? need computer parts

shipping, manufacturing, other logistics? halted due to less consumer flights

mining boom? probably also related to covid

tariffs? not super related

[bold drum]

I’d say natural resources is one thing yeah cuz if you can’t get the materials you can’t make the parts

[idle bridge]

Nah, it's just a question of mining it, getting it shipped, treated, made into chips, assembled, shipped to stores and sold

Then if something goes wrong along that process, it's gonna slow things down.

Got a power outage? Yeah that's a whole batch of chips that's gonna be gone

[crimson scroll]

it's not about the natural resources right now

[idle bridge]

I know

Rn it's production and high demand

Not enough supply being produced coupled with high demand creates low accessibility. It's literally just low supply, high demand, higher prices.

[bold drum]

Can I ask things about TVs and hdr here?

[crimson scroll]

sure

[bold drum]

Ok first question is that hdr at the moment only works with 4K right?

Or 4K tvs

[crimson scroll]

no

[bold drum]

Oh alright so next thing is on my 4K TV hdr never turns on for anything

For movies or games no matter what it is

[crimson scroll]

on windows?

[bold drum]

Well for gaming it’s windows but when I’m using my fire tv hdr doesn’t work for most movies

[crimson scroll]

i'd go look at the tv manufacturer manual

[bold drum]

Oh ok

[crimson scroll]

in windows make sure it's enabled in the settings

[prime thicket]

Can someone help me, when my friend was originally testing my pc, he was getting 39 Celsius on cyberpunk and I am getting 59 celcius when I'm just on the desktop...?

[raw marsh]

CPU or GPU? Either way those are great temps

[static pecan]

What kind of cooler are you running? Air or AIO liquid? I'm also just assuming you're referring to CPU temp and not GPU because you didn't specify

[vale orchid]

sorry

[prime thicket]

AIO and yeah CPU

it's dropping right now

it's low 40's high 30's

just in the menu of cyberpunk though it's at 72 right now

[idle bridge]

what are your pc specs?

And are you running any background tasks

[prime thicket]

Ryzen 7 5800x
32gb 3200mhz DDR4 ram,
Rtx 3080

Samsung crg9 (5120x1440)

And only discord and the normal Corsair icue, nzxt cam and stuff

Cyberpunk is also not taking up my whole monitor for some reason

[idle bridge]

Alright I just took a look, did you ask your friend if he tested the pc with the sidepanel on or off.

Make sure your AIO is blowing out, other fans should be blowing in

for good airflow

[prime thicket]

yeah they are

and I'm asking him now

idk why cyberpunk isn't taking up my whole monitor though

[idle bridge]

Might be a settings issue

[prime thicket]

Ignore the mess lmao

[idle bridge]

Go into video settings and see if there are any aspect ratio settings

[prime thicket]

There isn't

Only resolution

[idle bridge]

hmm

Change the resolution

To the resolution of your screen

[prime thicket]

The resolution is set to the resolution of my monitor

[idle bridge]

Then try launching the game

[prime thicket]

I have tried relaunching

[idle bridge]

Sometimes games just have their cutscenes or menu be in default 16:9, but the actual game runs at native resolution

[prime thicket]

Oh

I'll try that

[idle bridge]

oh lmao I just looked it up

https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/kaph2j/in_cyberpunk_2077_everyone_is_using_ultrawide/

[prime thicket]

Yeah its gone to 32:9 now

[idle bridge]

Also, make sure you have the newest Nvidia drivers and cyberpunk version

[idle bridge]

Then all is good

[prime thicket]

I should do considering this pc is literally brand new lmao

temps went up to like 75 though idk if that's alright

[idle bridge]

It might just be a spike or something weird with your fan curve

[prime thicket]

hm

I don't think the fan curve is actually working

my fans have not changed

probs cause my fans aren't plugged into the aio

idk how to change them then

[idle bridge]

Kinda a wierd fan curve

[prime thicket]

well it wouldn't do anything either cause I assume that would control the fan curve for the aio which nothing is plugged into

[idle bridge]

Thing is it's kinda low all the way from 20 to 45, until it just spikes

[raw marsh]

Aio fan curve? Fans should be plugged into a fan header or controller, wdym

[prime thicket]

the aio itself has fan headers coming off the pump

which I have nothing plugged into cause I have controllers

[brittle parrot]

send me link to monitor I want one

[stuck bluff]

Looks like a Samsung CHG90

Nvm it's crg9

[stuck bluff]

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/49-crg9-dual-qhd-curved-qled-gaming-monitor-lc49rg90ssnxza/

[hallow falcon]

I have a question about updating bios

I want to use a Ryzen 7 5800x, with an MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk ATX AM4 mobo, but would it work?

[crimson scroll]

may need a bios update

[hallow falcon]

Once it has a bios update it’s good to go?

[crimson scroll]

may need multiple

sometimes there are intermediary bioses

but yes

once you're on a bios version that supports zen 3, you're good

[hallow falcon]

Okie, thanks

[digital light]

Yo so ima be getting a pc in the next few months well building one actually but i wanna know if the parts will work together

This is my list
AMD ryzen 5 3600 (CPU)
Gigabyte radeon RX 570 4gb (GPU)
ASUS ROG Strix B450-F II (Motherboard)
Corsair 4000D Airflow (CASE)
32 gb Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3600 (RAM)
Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1tb (SSD)
4gb seagate IronWolf HDD  (HDD)
Corsair RM650x 650 watt 80+ gold (PSU)
Corsair H115i AIO liquid cpu cooler (Cpu Cooler)
Corsair LL120 120mm rgb fan (FAN)

[crimson scroll]

sure

seems a bit...imbalanced though

[digital light]

Wdym

[crimson scroll]

what are you using the computer for

[digital light]

Gaming

Mostly

[crimson scroll]

32gb ram seems excessive

bit overboard on the cooling for the cpu

money saved could go towards a better gpu

i also assume you mean a 4tb ironwolf

no need for those, just use a barracuda

[digital light]

I will probably overclock it too

[crimson scroll]

sure but you could spend $60 or less on your cpu cooler and be perfectly fine

i have a scythe fuma 2 on my 5600x and it cools it just fine, very quiet

[digital light]

Ok

I will go back and try to find the stuff

But will they all work

[crimson scroll]

sure

[digital light]

There wont be any issues with the case or motherboard

[crimson scroll]

nah

[astral belfry]

what power supply do i need for an rtx 2060 super and an intel i7 9700F?

[crimson scroll]

i'd say around 200w for both

so bare minimum, 450w psu

non-OC probably 400 is doable

550+ is good, 700 will give you headroom for upgrades to an overclockable CPU and more power hungry gpu

in terms of logical upgrades, that is

[astral belfry]

honestly been thinking of upgrading to a better graphics card but i think ima hold off since everyone is gonna literally kill for a 30 series rtx

[tender turtle]

impossible

[crimson scroll]

not really sure how that image is relevant

[astral belfry]

oh yea btw

thinking of upgrading to corsair vengeance lpx ram cuz my ram sticks r bare pcb

[crimson scroll]

ehhh

there's likely a better choice for either same price, better perf or same perf, better price

[astral belfry]

hmmm

[crimson scroll]

also bare pcb is not bad

[astral belfry]

been trying to find good ones but they're either out of stock or just way too overpriced

i went to best buy yesterday and there was 8 gig ram sticks for like 119

like at 2000 mghz

[crimson scroll]

best buy is....not a good place to buy most computer parts, most of the time

[astral belfry]

i tried tho

[crimson scroll]

right now it's decent for gpus and cpus

but only because they have stock at msrp

[astral belfry]

yea true

[crimson scroll]

what's your budget?

[astral belfry]

for my ram?

[crimson scroll]

and what's your current set

yes

also what's the rest of your system

[astral belfry]

i can probably go 120 the highest

my current set issss

wait i cant see it hold up

[crimson scroll]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BxTzK8/crucial-ballistix-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-bl2k8g32c16u4b this is the best price/perf ram right now, you can usually get it to 3600cl16 no problem and it's cheap. My go to recommendation for anybody who's just gaming and doesn't need 32gb, and has the capability of running xmp values. If you're on a locked motherboard that can't hit higher frequencies, it's still worth getting imo for future upgrades because anything you have now likely isn't bad enough on the locked mobo to justify an incremental upgrade

[astral belfry]

uh theres no brand name but its 16gb of DDR4 running at 2666 mhz

[crimson scroll]

what cpu and motherboard

[astral belfry]

intel i7 9700F

my speccy is taking forever ;-;

mother board is ASRock B365M IB-R

[crimson scroll]

yeah, no point in getting an incremental upgrade then

[astral belfry]

faq my ram stick fell out i didnt push it in all the way

there i fixed it

oh yea also

i heard apparently

u can use compressed air to clean ur pc??

apparently u can get it in cans

[crimson scroll]

sure

[astral belfry]

I mean I guess it’ll work

My only worry is that the dust will just everywhere

[crimson scroll]

so plan before you use it

you want to use compressed air on hard to reach crevices

and just wipe everything else down

[astral belfry]

Ohh ok tank u

Also last one

How do I clean the tempered glass panels on the case

[crimson scroll]

microfiber cloth

if it's cleaning pc stuff, 90% chance you use a microfiber cloth

[astral belfry]

Okie tank u

[crimson scroll]

the other 10% is comprised of IPA and compressed air

[astral belfry]

ohh okie

[idle bridge]

Yep. I have several microfiber cloths, some for my glasses and some for giving my pc a wipe. It works wonders if you just dampen the cloths and do a sweep. We also have an air compressor in our basement, that I can use, you can also buy cans or use damp q-tips for some places

[raw marsh]

Use dust filters perhaps?

[astral belfry]

In what places?

*specifically I meant

[raw marsh]

By the intake fans usually

[idle bridge]

Mainly at intake

Filter your intake and low pressure areas where air gets sucked in

[astral belfry]

Okie

[lean quarry]

Hey guys i am looking for a pre built for my friend around the €400 euro’s it needs to do the basic shit and maybe play some games like farming and fortnite

[digital light]

Unless they want a school computer then i would say thet need a higher budget lol

[idle bridge]

It's gonna be tough playing on a 400 euro pc

(I know it, I am doing it right now)

[little quiver]

you can get a pc for whatever price you want, but you get what you pay for. You just need to make sure he knows what he's getting

also, I'm trying to get this list (for a friend) a little cheaper, any suggestions? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L4G8mk

[raw marsh]

Drop that $100 windows key

That'll make it cheaper, no need to throw that money away

[devout wolf]

no point spending so much on ram that wont even run at that speed

that ssd is also approaching 1tb prices

ouch the 1050ti

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JPcXZZ

[lean quarry]

He Rafee dont judge the 1050ti your hurting his feelings(btw he is in this pc that im using)

[devout wolf]

i'm not judging the 1050ti itself

but paying $175 for one today? bruh

[crimson scroll]

also adata is being scummy and changing the controllers in their sx8200 drives to worse ones

[devout wolf]

yup

[crimson scroll]

realistically you won't really notice, but it's a bad thing to do

[devout wolf]

to the same ones in the non-pros

so they're pretty much the same drives

[little quiver]

ok what gpu should I look for then

[devout wolf]

well uh

the market's very dead

[little quiver]

which is why i just put the 1050ti on there

what storage should I use instead of the adata one

hows this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6j448d/western-digital-blue-500gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-wds500g2b0b

[devout wolf]

i edited the list

[devout wolf]

here

[craggy sparrow]

You don’t need to buy windows because you can get it for free

[lean quarry]

Hey guys how much will a prebuilt cost for the basic stuff and games like farming and fortnite

[raw marsh]

You can search for what spec you want, but i cant recommend a prebuilt

[little quiver]

if you want something competent for gaming, you want to get around a thousand (CAD) pre-built

yeah pre-builts aren't as good

you will have to pay more on a pre-built

[raw marsh]

Unless you want a 30 series

[little quiver]

true

[little quiver]

I got u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAFuawsN-1I

[brittle parrot]

no

they still charge you way more

[lean quarry]

Would €500 work for a pre built?

[marble talon]

Check out NZXT BLD for good premade PCs

You can configurate your PC before buying it

[crimson scroll]

right now is a good time to boycott nzxt

especially the h1

[lean quarry]

Ye but the price starts at €699

I need something around €500

[static pecan]

If you're trying to get a PC mainly for gaming, the best thing to do is save up more money so you're not as restricted in what you can get. Any "gaming" PC below about $700-$800 generally isn't really worth it in the long term.

[idle bridge]

+1

1000 USD is the best perf per dollar

(Close to that, it is always changing)

[static pecan]

True, but if we're talking about just starter setups I generally wouldn't go below about 700-750

At that point you start having to compromise and sacrifice a lot of stuff to keep the price down

[idle bridge]

Yep

Lemme see if I can fix up something that is 10/10 performance pr dollar, or at least close enough

[static pecan]

My first PC was about $600 and it was fine for the kinds of games I played back then but I still definitely made too many compromises on stuff for the sake of a low price. I moved to a $750 gaming laptop when I started college and it was insanely faster in every way compared to my original desktop build lol

[raw marsh]

It would be if you could buy the 20 series for retail

[static pecan]

Obviously we're assuming prices and the market in general is "normal" and not the absolute shit show it is now

If you're trying to get a PC now honestly your best bet is just buying a pre-built because at least you'll be able to actually get those parts. You'll just have to pay a hefty premium to get one that's actually decent and doesn't skim or overlook certain things or make dumb compromises in certain areas

[crimson scroll]

the laptop was probably also newer

pound for pound, laptops are worse for price/performance

you just don't have the thermal room

[idle bridge]

Look at Best Buy 30 series, they sometimes do drops at MSRP

[raw marsh]

Not in the US

[static pecan]

@crimson scroll correct, I was mostly just using those as examples of "Yeah I have first hand experience of using cheap stuff for a long time so take my advice." I wasn't saying the laptop is the greatest computer ever or anything and I definitely was not recommending a gaming laptop or anything

[crimson scroll]

well the comparison you made is between the laptop and the desktop, with the laptop being much better

but the amount you need to spend to get a decent gaming laptop is higher than for a decent gaming desktop

so from the info i have i would say the only applicable factor is just the fact that the laptop is newer, not the amount spent

[idle bridge]

Wait frick, they aint in the US? Bruh, in EU even an 3060 ti is 500+ euros

[static pecan]

Best Buy actually has been decent about 30 series drops at MSRP in the US as far as I know, at least they were when I was watching stock update streams trying to get a GPU like 2 months ago lol

[crimson scroll]

and cpus

got my 5600x from them

[static pecan]

I miraculously managed to get a 5900X in November from a Newegg bundle drop with the exact mobo I was planning to get anyway. Still not sure how I ended up so lucky with that

[idle bridge]

Still drops at MSRP sometimes

Really puts the "best" in best buy lol

[static pecan]

That's what I figured, just haven't been keeping up with it after I managed to snag a 5700XT to finish off my new build

Also yeah, kinda funny how Best Buy has basically become the best place to buy new stuff for all these launches lol

[idle bridge]

Ngl 5800x kinda bruh value, would have been better had it been 50 dollars or so lower

5600x and 5900x best value CPUs for gaming rn

In the AMD lineup

[static pecan]

I almost snagged a 6800XT from a Best Buy drop, but wasn't able to get to checkout with it because none of the stores in Alabama actually had any

[idle bridge]

RIP

[static pecan]

Big RIP

[idle bridge]

Can't wait to see the next GPU linesups from AMD and Nvidia, maybe even Intel

Intel is kinda like, "Ok this is a GPU and it can do about what you would expect"

[crimson scroll]

5900x is also...not a good value cpu for gaming

[idle bridge]

Better than 5800x and 5950x

[crimson scroll]

it's good if you need it for multicore tasks

AND also want to game

but nearly everybody who just wants to game will find the 5600x a much better value

sure, compared to the 5800x and 5950x, but it's still 250 more than the 5600x

[static pecan]

Yeah I use my 5900X mainly for professional editing work for my job + a media production class I'm taking this semester for college

If all I was doing was gaming and just basic Office work I would've gotten the 5600X

[idle bridge]

Yep

Like, 5900x is a bit over the top for just gaming

Most games can only utilise 6 cores or so

[crimson scroll]

actually, the 5800x is still a better value than the 5900x for gaming

the order for zen 3 goes in order of msrp

because they're so close in performance

[idle bridge]

for 100 dollars more you get, is it 4 more cores and slightly faster boost clock, so it's pretty close

[crimson scroll]

the reason the 5800x in general is not a good price/perf compared to the others is just because of multicore performance in other workloads

anyways, if you really want price/perf, you go intel

for just games, the 10400f/10600k are way cheaper

if you need cores, the 9700k has been on sale

[proven ibex]

i have 2mb of ram will this be enough

i am building a computer for my grandson

[crimson scroll]

show me where you found 2mb of ram lol

[proven ibex]

my old computer\

[crimson scroll]

sounds like a troll to me

[proven ibex]

yes im just playing lmfao

how much ram should i actually get tho

[crimson scroll]

depends on what you're doing

[proven ibex]

mfs2020

[idle bridge]

Can you stop trying to be funny?

[proven ibex]

bruh chill

[crimson scroll]

if you use a lot of addins, 32gb

noah's right though

the trolling doesn't belong in this chat

[proven ibex]

i wasted literally 15s of ur life jesus

[crimson scroll]

Everybody only thinks of themselves

You do it, Bob does it, xyz does it, it adds up

Also it clutters the chat

[static pecan]

Yeah it do be pretty annoying tho

[idle bridge]

15 seconds I will never get back ;-;

[idle bridge]

Also it's 2021 m8

Something like 8-32 gb of ram is the norm, dependending on what you do

[crimson scroll]

he's talking about microsoft flight sim 2020

[static pecan]

16 is plenty for the vast majority of people, especially if your main use for your PC is gaming

[idle bridge]

For gaming I recommend 16 gb 3200 or 3600 mhz CL16 Ram, depending on your budget

[crimson scroll]

you guys aren't reading

[static pecan]

Oop

[idle bridge]

Oh didn't see the part where he mentioned flight sim

[crimson scroll]

MFS 2020 can use more than 16 depending on what you add on and what else you have open

so 32 wouldn't be unreasonable depending on how invested you are

[static pecan]

In that case yeah, definitely 32 for that. I don't see it abbreviated that often lol

[idle bridge]

Same

Yeah flight sim is pretty intense, together with Cyberpunk it's basically the new Crysis lol

Tho a lot of it also depends on your settings

[crimson scroll]

they're gone anyways lol

[idle bridge]

bruh

[static pecan]

Lmao ok then

I guess joining Discord servers to ask a question google could answer in literally 5 seconds is a thing people do now?

[crimson scroll]

or just to troll

anyways, i would like for 32gb to become the standard so prices go down

[static pecan]

Yeah 32 is definitely nice to have in this PC. Not just for work stuff, but some the games that I have heavily modded use upwards of 14-15GB while I'm playing so it's nice to just not have to worry about it

is this gonna work?

[crimson scroll]

seems a bit imbalanced but "work", sure, all the parts are compatible

only possible issue is if the case is too small for the gpu

[supple lily]

ok thanks

but does it has bottleneck or what

[crimson scroll]

depends on the res

but i'd say yes

[supple lily]

on which part?

[crimson scroll]

the cpu and motherboard

[supple lily]

oh

what if i change the gpu to 3060ti?

[crimson scroll]

yeah

still a bit but price wise would also make more sense imo

[supple lily]

alright

thx m8

Thats even more difficult to get then a 3070, at least in the UK

are they compatible with each other?

I don't see any issues

[molten elm]

yeah its good

[gilded frost]

Well not a good pairing, but they’re compatible

[idle bridge]

Honestly it's sad that people can't get what they want in these sad times ;-;

what could i change to make it better

with a higher budget you could, but for that price it seems good

Idk know if my pc is good for heavy games!?

@lean quarry Also dutch 😉

[wicked aspen]

i have a dell vostro 220

[raw marsh]

It's not bad, a 2060 can do most stuff but its not marketed for 'heavy games'

That and the CPU means its not optimal for anything heavy like MSFS

Although it's definitely for 1080p

[lean quarry]

He @noble oak nice

[noble oak]

🔥🔥🔥

[craggy jasper]

@crimson scroll how are you?

Hi there I have a question how I should mount my aio 280 mm can someone help me?

[devout wolf]

what aio and case do you have

[crimson scroll]

wrong channel, put it in #archive-battlestations

[languid hatch]

what graphics card should i get

[crimson scroll]

depends on your use case and budget

[raw marsh]

Needs a bit of work before that

[sacred crescent]

maybe some cable management

[raw marsh]

And a lot of cleaning up, very crowded

[sacred crescent]

but could still go pretty far

[raw marsh]

Not to say it isnt still a good setup

[echo tide]

@devout wolf 4000 x rgb h115i elite CAPELLIX

[tall cove]

cant use it til i get a new psu but

ta da

[raw marsh]

Sweet, it's a great version as well

[crimson scroll]

does it have the red border or the black border on the side of the card

that's the real important question

[astral belfry]

lmao

the other day i caught my friend looking at fake 3060 cards

glad i stopped him cuz he was gonna actually gonna fall for it

[raw marsh]

You can get replacement shrouds in exchange for the clown smiles

[crimson scroll]

i know but that's a hassle

[tall cove]

I opened and checked

It doesn’t have the clown lips

[raw marsh]

What did you pay for it?

[tall cove]

699$ + tax

So around 750$

[raw marsh]

Yikes

[tall cove]

But I got it msrp so it’s basically a unicorn

[craggy sparrow]

My 3070 arrived today

[tall cove]

Or at least that’s the msrp for that model of card

[raw marsh]

My 3070 cost £640 but UK prices differ from US

[craggy sparrow]

I’ve been waiting over 4 months since I ordered

[tall cove]

Well all I know is that I told my mom I’m gonna do a new pc build with it

And I’m not dead yet so

Yay

[crimson scroll]

buy first, ask forgiveness later?

[raw marsh]

Can you reuse most parts?

[tall cove]

Kinda

I would need a new cpu, psu, mb, and probably ram

And at that point I might as well do a whole new build and leave the old one to sell as a build

[craggy sparrow]

Yeah

[tall cove]

Micro center has a bundle for a i7 10700k and a msi z490 which is probably what I’ll do

[raw marsh]

A 10700k? That doesn't sound so hot

[echo tide]

?

[raw marsh]

You'd be better off with a 5600x, it's definitely the midrange king

[tall cove]

Good luck with me trying to find one

Plus I’m going intel and nvidia

[raw marsh]

They're in stock most places in the UK

[crimson scroll]

he's not in the UK

[tall cove]

I am American man lol

[raw marsh]

Perhaps not where you are then

[crimson scroll]

anyways, you can get 5600x at best buy

[raw marsh]

Yes I figured

[tall cove]

Ehhhhhhh

Hold on

[crimson scroll]

they drop every so often

[tall cove]

Hmmmm

[crimson scroll]

if you want to save money, then there are some decent deals on intel parts

[tall cove]

Yeah that’s what I’ve been seeing

[crimson scroll]

I saw the 10700k for $320

2 more cores than the 5600x, if you need them for productivity, it's a better buy

admittedly no stock cooler but ehh

[tall cove]

MC has the 10700k for 299$ and I’ll get it bundled or something

[crimson scroll]

good deal

[idle bridge]

Considering that the MSRP for the 10700k was like, 375 dollas, + it's a bundle it sounds good

[tall cove]

Bundled it’s 449

[idle bridge]

What else is in the bundle?

[tall cove]

msi z490

[idle bridge]

sounds good

[mystic ginkgo]

What’s an average cpu and gpu because I need better ones as my pc can’t run valorant very well :/

[tall cove]

What do you have rn?

[mystic ginkgo]

I have a intel core i5

I’m not sure about my gpu

[tall cove]

prebuilt?

[mystic ginkgo]

No it’s custom

[tall cove]

can you check task manager and lmk

[mystic ginkgo]

Sure I’ll be a minute as I’ll need to turn on my pc

[tall cove]

because depending on the gen of i5 and the gpu it should be able to run valorant because it isnt a very intense game to run

[mystic ginkgo]

Just uploading an image

[crimson scroll]

define average

need your budget

[mystic ginkgo]

Budget probably £350

[crimson scroll]

that gpu should definitely run valorant just fine

[raw marsh]

That should be able to run valorant alright

[crimson scroll]

what cpu

[mystic ginkgo]

Sorry a bit long

[crimson scroll]

i recommend using pcpp next time to list parts

if you OC the 3570k it should still be okay

that ram is very slow though

[noble oak]

bro i play valorant with an i5-3570 with integrated graphics

[crimson scroll]

task manager should already report the doubled rate

[noble oak]

I recommend just if u really want to maybe go for 16gb of ram

[dapper laurel]

guys i need help choosing parts

i5 10600k, gtx 1060 (3gb) (reusing my old will upgrade to 3060ti later), z490 a pro (pretty sure its on sale), two 8 gb 3600mhz (imma reuse), 650w psu (corsair haha) and 4000D Airflow Case
is that good
for 3060ti
and is that cpu good enough for 3060ti and is a z490 a pro actually comaptibel

[crimson scroll]

it's compatible, yes

[dapper laurel]

is it compatible for 11th or higher

[crimson scroll]

yes

[idle bridge]

should be fine

[supple birch]

Looks good

[echo tide]

Hey guya I have a question so how should I mount my aio in the 4000 x rgb and withe the h115i elite CAPELLIX?

[raw marsh]

Probably on the top of the case?

The right side is pre fitted with fans

[echo tide]

Okay so that the loop is on the right side of the cpu?

[raw marsh]

Which I assume are optimised for airflow, but you want to use the static pressure fans for the rad

[echo tide]

Yes

[raw marsh]

Doesn't matter how you move the tubing

If that's what you're asking

[echo tide]

Yes

And how I remove the old idk what in English it is calles in German Wärmeleitpaste from the aio

[raw marsh]

Thermal paste?

[echo tide]

Yes

[raw marsh]

Just use a damp cloth or something similar, but there's no issue with just using the pre applied thermal paste

[echo tide]

Yes but I also got mew one so

And can something happen when the cpu has maybe a little bit dusty from opening the box?

[loud escarp]

is the dust on the cpu pins?

[echo tide]

I cannot se any think

But It could be

And for information a have a Intel cpu

[crimson scroll]

you want to use IPA

not water

ipa will evaporate more quickly

and ideally you use a microfiber cloth, not paper towels or tissues

those can leave fibers behind. Will it severely affect your performance? probably not, but it's just a good habit

[idle bridge]

I usually use a piece of paper with some rubbing alcohol, then clean off any paper debris with a piece of cloth

To clean off thermal paste

Usually the pre-applied is fine

[high marlin]

is thermal paste always needed when building a pc?

[crimson scroll]

yes

it's usually supplied too

[high marlin]

okay very good

[crimson scroll]

i will say that i've run systems without thermal paste just to boot into bios or get a windows key

it's fine if you know what you're doing

but you are going to want it on any system you use for a prolonged period of time

[signal osprey]

Especially on CP77 lol

[echo tide]

wich alkohol

[echo tide]

and what is IPA

[crimson scroll]

isopropyl alcohol

[echo tide]

yes but where i can get that?

but i usually think i am using the thermal paste an the aio already mouted

[crimson scroll]

any store that's the equivalent of walgreens or cvs in your area should have it

it's a pretty common cleaning agent

[idle bridge]

Isopropyl Alcohol / IPA / Rubbing alcohol

Hand sanitizer is not the same as rubbing alcohol

So you can't use that, just saying cause sometimes someone think they both can be used 🙂

You can also use the ethanol based stuff

[echo tide]

okay

[echo tide]

so

[idle bridge]

I don't know about USA

Shouldn't be hard to find online tho

Just google "Rubbing alchohol 70%"

70% is good for both ethanol and isopropyl

For dust filters I usually use a vacuum cleaner

For keyboards you can use compressed air if it's just a bit of dust

You can often get in in cans, tho we have an air compressor in our basement

When cleaning off thermal paste I like to use rubbing alchohol on a piece of paper, then wipe off the last debris with a piece of cloth

For smaller parts you can use a Q-tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol, I usually squeeze the end a bit to make the small hairs cling to the rest and make it a bit more pointed

[small wraith]

Is the radeon rx 5600 xt good

[crimson scroll]

Today is likely to be a best buy drop day, for anybody searching for new gpus or cpus

[crimson scroll]

depends on the price and what you're using it for

[small wraith]

Well i think i want to play games at 1440p 60fps with this card but i was wondering if that were possible

[crimson scroll]

Sure

Might have to adjust settings in some games

[static pecan]

Should be able to do a mix of medium and high settings for that depending on the title and type of game. I have a 5700XT and it can run AAA shooters on ultra at 1440p anywhere from 120-130 FPS just fine. More graphically demanding games like Jedi: Fallen Order I get around 90 FPS on ultra

[small wraith]

Thank u

whats the cheapest set up that i can do

i already have a monitor

[manic bridge]

Hi I have a question
Okay so my motherboard has two spots for ssd cards and I'm using one for my OS and all my games. However I filled it up real fast. If I install another ssd will it run games even if the OS isn't on it?

[static pecan]

Yes, any additional drives added you can set up as separate storage spaces where you can install files (including games) onto

[manic bridge]

Like, can I just tell Steam to start installing on the new ssd and it'll work?

You'll have to manually create a new folder in the drive and then tell steam to use that folder to install games onto

[manic bridge]

okay! Thank you!!

[static pecan]

You could also move existing games from your OS drive onto the new one if you want to free up more space too without having to reinstall

[manic bridge]

ooooo 👀 thank you, that's good to know!

Hello guys I have a question I cannot go out from the bios

Can someone help me?

[raw marsh]

You can't just press save and exit?

[echo tide]

No

[crimson scroll]

what do you mean you can't go out

as in your keyboard doesn't work, or hitting enter on save and quit does nothing?

[echo tide]

Second

I can't go out

[crimson scroll]

can you exit without saving

[echo tide]

No

[crimson scroll]

esc + enter?

[echo tide]

Yes but now I am in a mother screen

[crimson scroll]

so follow the instructions

[echo tide]

Yes but It not work

I always go into this window

[crimson scroll]

try clearing cmos

[echo tide]

?

[crimson scroll]

clearing cmos resets bios back to factory defaults

you can either jump the cmos headers on your motherboard or pull the battery for a couple of minutes

[echo tide]

How?

[devout wolf]

-locate cr2025 battery
-remove

[echo tide]

And then put it back in it?

[devout wolf]

in a few minutes

[echo tide]

For or in?

[crimson scroll]

you need it in to save bios settings

you're removing it, discharging power, and leaving it out to clear any remaining charge so bios gets reset

make sure you have the system powered off before you do that

and unplugged

[echo tide]

And then but out the battery

And plug it in

[crimson scroll]

yes

leaving a couple of minutes between taking it out and putting it back in

[echo tide]

But also without any baterry

[crimson scroll]

huh?

it's really simple, i already listed all the steps in order

[echo tide]

I mean without plug the power adapter in

[crimson scroll]

turn off the pc, unplug power, discharge by pressing the power button, unplug the battery, wait five minutes, plug the battery back in, plug your computer back in, turn it on

[echo tide]

Okay

[echo tide]

So I am in the bios

But I can't leave the bios Menü cause it's saying cannot find a boot able device

[idle bridge]

hmm, sounds like your storage device with your OS might've been unplugged

Or there might have been some stuff with the OS or Bios

Hi, could anyone help me pick a mostly gaming pc with a bit of video editing for 1500dollars?

[solemn wasp]

I would but i don't feel i know enough to confidently advise someone else on what to purchase, I can however tell you my specs. RTX 2070 Super, ROG STRIX Z390i Motherboard, 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 3200mhz RAM, Intel i7-9700k Processor, Corsair Hydro 100i RGB Platinum SE 240mm Radiator, SF750 80 Plus Platinum PSU - 750W, Samsung 970 Evo 500GB M.2-2280 NVME SSD and an NZXT H210i Case. that came to £1,300. Its also an ITX build

[hoary path]

Ok👍

[soft latch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hR4wK3

it's a bit over but good parts

[craggy sparrow]

I’d say maybe get a 5600x instead of a 3700x

And get a 750w psu

[crimson scroll]

vengeance ram is eh

[solemn wasp]

its been flawless for me so far, on XMP overclock

[crimson scroll]

i would rather get crucial ballistix for around $80

they also have an rgb version that apparently also uses rev.E so high overclocking potential

the lancool mesh is way overpriced right now, it should be around 110

650w is fine for a 3070 and 5600x

[hoary path]

Ok thanks 🙂

[crimson scroll]

CM MWE Gold is $112 though

Corsair RM is 125

so if you really wanted 750 you could go for those two

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g2bGNP within budget, you'll need to wait for drops on the 5600x though

[hoary path]

Yeah I have time, i can't get the 3070 yet either.

[echo tide]

But there is nothing unplugged

[regal river]

anyone know a decent 3080 build 4 gaming with a budget of about £1500

[brittle parrot]

You ain't getting a balanced 3080 build for £1500 sorry buddy

[devout wolf]

why not?

[dry meadow]

Because of the high end gear needed to get anything significant out of the 3080 not to mention the price of a 3080

I'd recommend 3060 tbh it's still really good for the money

[devout wolf]

for 1500 that's easy

you can easily get a 10700/5600x in that budget

[raw marsh]

Its ok if you can get the 3080 for MSRP

[raw marsh]

Thats in stock?

[spring grove]

nah

but it's sold at that price when in stock

it started at 950 €

[small wraith]

How do i setup crossfire

I want to buy dual rx 570s

Well i already have one 570 but ive had it for about a year now

[raw marsh]

Which means its very hard to get

Everyone will want a 3080

[crimson scroll]

Why do you want to set up crossfire

You're better off selling your current 570 and using that money + the money you would have used it buy the second 570 to just get a better gpu

[crimson scroll]

and you care enough to notice?

sounds like you're more invested than i am ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[loud escarp]

lmao

[topaz gyro]

💰l have to get rtx 3080 for 1040

[idle bridge]

1040 what?

Like USD or Euro?

[soft latch]

Try shopblt u could get it at retail

[queen musk]

what build should I go for that can reach atleast 165 fps in games?

budget is 700usd

and I want to use AMD with supported freesync

[raw marsh]

Yeah, buy 165 in what games - you can reach 165 in CS with no difficulty, but you'll really struggle to get that in something like cyberpunk

[raw marsh]

You can also pretty much use freesync with Nvidia GPUs anyway

[queen musk]

Oh cool, I didnt know about it

[queen musk]

I just wanna use high refresh rate on competitive games like csgo, overwatch, etc
