And I had to compare both generation's boxes
Now my 3090 will have no problems with my CPU anymore
I will probably do the cross with my thermal paste
Doing a pea sized paste didn't really cut it with my current one
The pea was probably too small then
I don't think there's much of a difference between application methods
That doesn't sound bad, although it's difficult to judge because I have no idea what cooler you're using
70° sounds fine then
Is that a world map desk pad I spot?
Also, nice, the 5000 series is pretty good, and you got the 8 core 5800x which is pretty nice.
80 is fine under sustained load
What, do you think you've done something wrong? Undervolt if you're worried about the temps
You can always buy more and reapply
@lament pawnFrom what I understand the 5800X can get up to low-mid 80s under full sustained load so like Mel said just apply more thermal paste and if you're really worried about temps that much then get a beefier cooler
the 5800x does usually run hot
89 is on the iffy side for me, i'd get a better cooler and make sure your paste job is good. could probably undervolt too like melker said, stock voltages are almost always set high
Arctic liquid cooler 240/280 is good if you want an AIO
I rather stick to air cooling
NH-D15 then
which cooler do you have now?
Hyper 212 black
ok i wasn't sure if you were using that on your 3600 or not
that's kind of a wimpy cooler for the 5800x
eh
i mean, there's lots of large tower coolers you can go for
zalman cnps20x, nh-d15, assassin 3, dark rock pro 4
even the fuma 2
I don't have much space for an AIO rn
top mount?
Nah there's the tempered glass that goes on top
what case
what model i mean
I think it's the 27
Argb
No wait
Wrong one
doesn't look the same
has a shroud and the gull wing isn't as much window
view 37 argb maybe
Yea that one
looks like you can put rads on the side next to the motherboard
could also remove the front fans and add a rad
What would be better actually to replace my current cooler or replace the fans directly
well, replacing your current cooler no matter what if you don't like the temps
but you can do both
I rather spend minimal to get efficient temps
just replace the cooler then
With this one
check how much the 360 liquid freezer II is then
109 euros is a lot for the nh-d15, even if it's chromax
i'd just get that
And remove the frontal fans
Seems legit
Yeah im using it, it's good
you can technically do better thermally, but noise normalized it's one of the top three
Aight i'll get that if its really desperate
If this thermal paste doesn't cut it i'll go with that AIO
eh
just go with arctic mx2 or mx4 imo
should be cheaper
cheaper for an enormous tube
this is the one i use and it's fine, unless you do hardcore overclocking most of the pastes from reputable sellers are fine
How many gram should you take?
8 is a lot, it's lasted me through like 10+ repastings and i have half left
but it's also not that much more expensive than the 4g so...
might as well get it
What about this
Corsair A500 High Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler, CT-9010003-WW
Massive
I'm gonna order that Arctic Cooler and i thought of taking an exhaust fan
I dunno which one to go for
I guess this will do
The p120 is for static pressure, not airflow
Still better than the current fans i got in my case
I cant get them to full speed
Cause they arent connected to the motherboard cause no connectors for it
Why does that mean you have you buy a static pressure fan
P12 is fine for airflow
you mean 360mm?
Yea
Spaceship rad
cooling off an entire building lmao
dusty dust
Whats the different?
static pressure = situations where you have obstructions
Thanks
steel series make only good keyboards and mouses
componets sucks
back in the day steel series tried to make componets
?
id rather get something from bequiet or noctua
T
mans left the server BAH
so im building a buget pc and i dont know what gpu to get it has to be lp any wanna help
you should define your budget first
and what you want to do with the system
right now, it's really hard to get a gpu anyways
buget 200
well, i don't know what gpus will fit in there but at first glance you're looking at a gpu that doesn't need a 6 pin pcie power
so something like a 1050ti
will it work on a 255 watt psu
depends on the other components
but considering the pcie express standard is 75w through the slot, yes
i have a i5 4590 and 2x4 ddr3 ram
most other components you'd pair on a 255w psu won't draw very much
so it will work
would a 2x8 ddr3 ram kit work with the 1050ti
i mean, yeah
there's not really a direct relation between the two
the question you'd be asking is if ddr3 would work with your motherboard chipset and cpu
do u know the motherboard on the dell otiplex 3020 sff
no
ok
but the i5 4590 supports ddr3
i know
i think the motherboard slot uses PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM SODIMM
laptop ram basically
ok
if i get a new psu what will i need if i want to still use the oem board
will the rx 550 be good
i found one for 187
eh
the 550 shouldn't be more than $100
would the 1650 lp work with my psu
and yes, a 1650 would work if it's a model without an external power connector
it would work with a 255 watt psu
yes
wherever you can find it at a reasonable price i guess
what is the msrp
what gpu do u have
5700xt
wait would the 1650 lp fit
its the sff
yeah, so measure your case, then look at the dimensions of the specific model of 1650 you're looking at
would the MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GT LP 4GB GDDR5 HDMI/DL-DVI-D PCI-Express Video Card work
looks like it should, yes
yes
ok
dam the gpu used to be 250
would getting a used card from amazon be a good idea
so not a good idea
it's just annoying to deal with, it's fairly safe
I don't think there's a direct correlation to gpu prices and eth...
The more profitable Ethereum is, the more miners want to buy cards such as the RTX 3080 and 3090
They always wanted to buy cards
This causes Nvidia to produce more of the more profitable cards (They have a higher profit margin) and prioritize other cards less
No
- already high demand for GPUs
So you're saying that Nvidia are not producing more of the cards that make then earn more money?
They're producing all the cards they can, they have a quota for each I assume
They have the cards that they've made deals with retailers with, but other that they're gonna be more incentivised to make the higher profit cards when they can
They don't need more of an incentive when every card gets sold out instantly
They have when they earn more money pr card for a 3090 than a 3060 ti
does anyone know if Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 WINDFORCE OC 4G (rev. 2.0) Graphics Card, 172mm Compact Size, 4GB 128-Bit GDDR6, GV-N1656WF2OC-4GD REV2.0 Video Card fit a sff case
so its a single slot
you can use measurements...
does anyone know how to messure a pcie slot in a sff dell opiplex 3020
all pcie slots are the same
it's a standard
what you want to measure is the available space in the case
yeah
so get a ruler
Not very well, no
sure
I mean roughly maybe
would it be close
or just get a ruler app on your phone
ok
hello anyone here
Yeah
I got the fan inside 
is new egg safe
yes
would the gtx 1650 lp work on a 255 watt psu
Like I told you already, likely yes, but it depends on the other components, and since you only have an i5-4590, yes
it would work with 2x4 ddr3 ram right
Yes
Please read previous conversations carefully so we don't have to repeat ourselves three times
and when i add 2x8 ddr3 1600
Yes it'll be fine
You found two models on your own already
yeah
And you know about Newegg and amazon
do reading reviews matter
Is steel series rival 5 has braided cable ?
mesh cable
the product page tells you

anyone know where a 3080 white water block is
It takes form but still its a mess
What a clean cable management 👌
Yeah
All black parts
Then y white aio cooler ?
it's not a white aio cooler
sry bro 😅
Wrongly understood
lol you're good
Good In which ?
means don't worry about it
Hm
New to "these short words long meanings "
😁
Well i no longer have to worry about thermals now
Might look not great but still I tried my best
Sheesh
Does anyone know if this is a good gaming laptop?? Wouldn’t pay much more for it..
Price now: 1599€
Not bad, could look great with some dusting, custom cable sleeving and a bit of organization
Yeah that's a better idea, reduces noise and increases longevity
cpu block isn't above the top of the rad though, it's fine
I used the second offset
not a bad temp to be stuck at, unless its displaying wrong
mine idles that high because the fans don't spin up until it's under load
on purpose?
ah okay, i didnt know if you put a fan curve or not, but yeah,
Well sometimes it goes to 60 but again its nfs heat I'm playing so it isn't really heavy on components
hello my ryzen 5 3600 is hitting 90c with the stock cooler i think i need a upgrade
i want a air cooler what looks decent and really good performance
my price range is £30-80
fuma 2
Doesn’t matter if it looks good, that thing’s a monster bro I want one 
Good luck trying to get the whole set cause its more than 2K
Phanteks do some I think?
Not sure
what is the wattage for the i5 4590
you trying to calculate a builds wattage?
Search it up?
your 255w psu is enough
for lp gtx 1650 how do i take off the bracket to put the lp one on
is a intel i7 10700k with rtx 2060 good?
sure
smh
sadge
It do be like that sometimes
Imagine not reading the rules when you join a Discord server 😳
Couldn't be me
what- happened?
don't worry about it
ok ._.
Can someone suggest me some parts for the cheapest PC that had at least 8 GB RAM?
What is your budget?
Around 400 350
400 usd ?
Yes
Can you tell me the difference?
Full setup means cpu and peripheral
Peripheral as in mouse and keyboard?
S
Ok I'll get
However amd or intel build ?
Ok I'll search and tell
Pls wait
K
My PC got built by a friend and I so can’t wait to get it in my hands
Any recommendations for cable management on desk?
Nice looking build, just get some cable ties for the back and it'll be fine
Well I also have a Xbox and PlayStation by my desk to so lmfao
Ok?
I don’t like the cable ties much don’t think it looks good tbh
Why does it matter how they look if it's for the back
um which brand should i go with on my pc to get built should i go with ironside?
i recommend building your own
ironside has 8gb of memory on their $1800 ryzen build
ridiculous
any good sites i can get the stuff on
not really
if you get lucky, best buy or the evga queue
but you're super late to the evga queue at this point
best buys all out of 3080
would a ryzen 5 be a good cpu
depends on which r5 and at what price
you mean the r5 5600x then?
yes
any powerbank recommendations
they dont have a ryzen 11600k but they have a Intel - Core i5-11600K 11th Generation - 6 Core - 12 Thread - 3.9 to 4.9 GHz - LGA1200 - Unlocked Desktop Processor
does that work
yeah, the 11600k is intel
ok
any recomended cases
any cases i should know about
i would recommend airflow focused cases
ok cool
Our Best PC Cases in 2021 So Far content looks at everything from budget airflow cases to noise-focused cases. We talk about best airflow & cooling cases, mechanical design, & more.

If you're building a new system or updating ...
what would be a nice cpu cooler for a ryzen 5 3600
Looks like you've already got a good idea of it
those are all nice
i like the dark rock 4 but would that be a good or do i go more expensive
i have the fuma 2 on my 5600x in a mini itx system and it's nice and quiet
doesn't go above 80c unless i run folding@home
Huh? Why would you need to go 'more expensive'?
while my stock cooler hits 90 degrees on r23
why not my money
That's not a good reason
i know
Nor is it at all necessary
in general, there should be a reason to go more expensive
whether it's aesthetics or performance or ease of use features
with the coolers you listed, you're already hitting the top end of the air coolers
i want my pc cool and not catch fire when i keep it on idle for a week
again, the ones you listed are all good
what would look nicest in a white theme build?
A white cooler...

i build it white theme but i dont want something what kills the whole thing
Shadow rock 3 white, if you need a suggestion
there no good white coolers
incorrect
If you say so
you will pay a premium for white in most cases, but the se 224-xt, gammax 400 white, freezer 34 esports duo, and galahad aios are all good in their respective tiers
saucy do i go with the p360 or the p400 case
p360a is cheaper usually
ok
i tried to get the artic 34 freezer duo but not in stock
keep in mind a lot of cases may not include fans
and the p360a has more stock than the p300a
what gpu do i need
i can't answer that for you because i don't know what you want to do with the system
or your budget
idc just tell me a good gpu
ok
so is the 1650
i want my system to have like 120 gigs of ram
or somin
why?
the faster the better
No
that's not how that works
oh
unless you happen to be computing extremely large datasets that eat all your ram
for the most part, ram does not make your system faster
well the 3080 and the 1650 are sold out
yes, everything is
Yeah, along with every other gpu
I mean you could get something on back order
i forgot howto backorder
and when i search gpu on best buy it comes up with graphics cards
That's hardly surprising
wdym
When you search up graphics cards, you find graphics card. Who would've thought, right?
shocked pikachu face
shut up im new to this ok
i found a 1030 would that work
it's pretty "meh"
it's probably like $150 or something too
right now is just a very bad time to try to get gpus
ok
is the Lenovo Legion any good for a good starter gaming laptop?
which one
Lenovo - Legion 5 15" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - 512GB SSD - Phantom Black
for what price
1.6k
That's not a good price
8gb, ouch
Although I don't know what currency that is lol
usd
So not good then
yeah, bad price
oh
for what it's worth, it's not easy at all to get any decent pc for a reasonable price right now
Hi, whats a good motherboard for ryzen 3900x? (not too expensive)
i'd look at b550 motherboards
Ok
is the Asus ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard good?
238 dollars
yuck
Aorus b550 elite is more reasonable
b550 aorus master would be my pick if you want decently high end
msi b550-a pro for slightly lower
ok
what is the msrp for the gtx 1650 lp
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.
hey any one know what moniter i should get
Nope, we have no idea
Everybody who asks for help needs to put specifics
But you could give us some pointers like your budget and requirements to help us help you
We don't know what you want
What we can do is take your input on what you want and suggest stuff
i want dual moniters
Okay
prob 4k
You were looking at a 1030 a while back, u sure u want 4k?
lettme see rn im using a all in one
i dont want the 1030 so yes im going for 4k
yes ofcourse
Are you planning on gaming with them?
yes
These are gonna be real expensive
High refresh 4k gets very expensive, if youre looking at 27 inches, 1440p is fine in terms of pixel density
ok ill go with that
so...what's your budget
sigh
Well under $600? Under $1000?
dell s2721dgf
ill have my budget under 1000
For 1 monitor or both
both
two of those will run you below $900, maybe below $750 if you get a good sale
IPS, 27" 1440p 144hz
considered probably the best panel on the market at this res/refresh rate
You probably wont be gaming on both, so you only need 1 at that spec right? You can get a cheaper one for the other if you want.
nah im good i must be worthy for #archive-battlestations
Anything is worthy for #archive-battlestations
Also you won't be able to tell between 1080p and 1440p in a picture anyway lol
im just trying to go all out for this
i disagree
No point in being careless with money
fine fine
1440p and 1080p, definitely a big difference
Of course, but in an image taken from a phone?
yeah but the real thing that matters is the experience while using them
even though we're memeing about doing it just to show off
ok what should the second moniter be
Could be the same, as saucy suggests
are you just going to use it for things like spotify, discord, youtube?
i'm hesitant to say go 60hz on that, or even 75hz
who dosent
because some people (like myself) are really sensitive to that after going to 144hz
so i can't really say how you'll react to that
eh.
wdym "eh:
i would get an ips 1080p 60hz monitor for your secondary
ips so that the viewing angle will be better
ok igochu
How much should 27” 144hz 1440p be?
I got mine for £150
nice
I don’t think I’ll get a deal like that again
Could be
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9fVG3C/asus-va24ehe-238-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-90lm0560-b011b0 worth considering but no rotation
hard to get a stand that does full swivel/tilt/rotation at the lower end
Vesa compatibility so that's less of an issue
Then you're spending more
this my main
And you might as well just get a better monitor
He still has room in his $1000 budget
is this my main or secondary
the secondary
then whats the main

#💻-building-a-pc message this aged poorly
haha that's for sure
Is 24 inch monitor enough for gaming and video editing ?
How are we supposed to judge that
There are a lot of different 24 inch monitors, but the size itself is probably ok. For video editing you'd like a larger monitor, but something of that size would still be adequate
Thanks 👍
also make sure the colors are accurate.
Sure
Hello guys, I want to ask, if the apex pro tkl is a good keyboard for 200€..
Might be if you need all the features which come with it
Personally I think it's too much for the quality of the stabs and all the rattle that comes with a prebuilt, but that can be said for every prebuilt keyboard
Also not relevant for #💻-building-a-pc
Yeah sry but thanks for answering
if was going to get a better cpu for my dell optiplex 3020 sff with a 255 wat psu would it work with a gtx 1650 lp
yes, in general there's no issues with any cpu and gpu
what you'd really be worried about is the motherboard, which is likely proprietary
i would want to know what cpu to get if it’s not proprietary
well, it's probably not worth, considering the motherboard is almost guaranteed to be locked
but a i7 4790 would work on the same chipset as the i5 4590
!leaderboard
hello
Guys benq BenQ Zowie XL2411P
Is good or bad for gaming?
It's a decent budget monitor, why would it be bad for gaming
Coz its max hz is 144
But rtx 2070 give more than 144 fps
Will it suffer ?
No
You can limit FPS, having more FPS even tho the monitor refresh rate doesn't handle it, still gives a smoother experience, if you are thinking about the monitor? Its fine, but if you are thinking about the GPU getting messed up then the solution is to just cap the FPS.
i run my stuff at 400fps on a 144hz monitor, it's fine
freesync on, vsync off, no frame limit
Yeah, you can do that, thing is overtime your GPU is just gonna kill itself trying to hard 😂
Its expected to give what it wants, and it gives its all.
Watercooled?
yeah, 1080ti
I have a 1070, everything has been upgraded in there besides the 1070 😭
still a great card
Yeah, its a Gaming G1
I wish to get a 2070S? But that seems to be one of the most wanted cards rn honestly. They can't get to 3000 series, so 2070S it is :P
yes
dunno about that, a 24" 720p monitor will probably be very annoying to properly video edit on
if i was to get the gtx 1050 ti 4gb lp would it good for playing warzone
Not great
so the 1650 lp 4gb would be better
A bit better
how much in fps
Maybe 10%, I'm not sure
it would get 75 fps right thats all i need
my monitor is 1600x900
Ok
i can lock my fps to anything in warzone right
oh you can
neither does mine and i literally have
one fan
1660 super OC, 144hz moniter
with no frame limit
this card
I got it's really good
it can for sure go past 144 fps lol
without any problems
not a pc but a laptop
specs price is $1,349 CAD
i was wondering if that was better then this
specs price is $1,499 CAD
Better to just get a buildredux pre-built
Good price, good air cooling
Only thing you'd need to do is get a good mobo
since i heard they had bad ones
Unless you already have a pc
Yeah right now you're pretty much better off with a pre build or a laptop but as far as laptop goes keep in mind that type of power is going to be throttled back some compared to desktops because they only allow a certain amount of cooling to fit in those
yeah
the battery life on the first was was i think
3h
but i never take my laptop off the charging
Yeah just get a buildredux pc build
If you're going to do that remove the battery you'll damage the battery doing that way unless it's not removable
man i cant believe that for the first time ever getting a pre-built is better than a custom
not the first time ever
there are use cases where you don't want to build your own
I'm so glad I built the majority of mine before the stock market crash of 2020-2021
buildredux is real good, it's just MSRP gpu with a whole pc
wym remove the battery
wont the laptop just die
i wanted a laptop because its more portable
so i can use it for school
and bring it there
Not necessarily if the laptop doesn't have a battery it just bypasses it if you have it plugged in but the minute it gets unplugged it's just going to die
that'll look horrid at school lol
cus im not carrying around an rbg LMAO
Bro I remember bringing my whole simulator set up to school PC racing wheel pedals shifter knob and a monitor
makes me cringe just thinking of that
i went and did it and the parts that i have on the laptop are better then the buildredux pc
It was kind of the last day of school for that year so I decided to go all out I'm thinking this year I'm going to bring my whole VR set up
mk what parts do you want
As a last hara
i7 laptop cpu
for the windows 10 home just get a cheaper key or some shit
This is how mcuh it costs now
but then i need to get a monitor, keyboard and mouse
do you not have a keyboard or mouse lol
wb a monitor
get a 60hz monitor shouldent be that much
or a cheap 144hz monitor to take advantage of the 3060
pc
idk cause thats already more then my laptop
how come you say not to get a laptop
over a pc
the only thing i cant do is upgrade graphics card
but it has a 3060
so i should b good for awhile
also how does it last longer
@vital onyx um laptops you can't pull a cpu on they soldered in I work on my own as far as fixing them
laptops are far more susceptible to drops, spills, overheating, and food.
ye
true
but i cant bring a pc to a friends house or school
Yea you can
without bringing a monitor and keyboard and mouse
A tv works just fine
wb school tho
with school they'll most likely hand you a chromebook
then u use the chromebook as a monitor?
No
what
@vital onyx Asus makes a portable monitor
medium tower
does that site give dimensions
I fit mine a suite case and it's mid tower
i mean if you have to do it at school yeah ig whatever but you can just continue it at home
oh
like they give us chromebooks
well how heavy is your work
but their dookie
Do you already have a laptop
ye
then
but its so garbage
use that
Then use that at school and a pc for homr
if it's better than the chromebook your fine man
cause what i was thinking is that when im traveling i can play games on my laptop
cause my parents arent gonna let me pack my pc if i got it
how often do you travel lol
if it's often
then
i respect your decision ig
but you can survive without laptop
few times
i usto travel shit tons with my mother
no laptop
not even phone 😦
but ay it's fine
LOL
rip
the reason im leaning more towards a laptop is cause im thinking more longterm
like univeristy
it wont last till unviersity
probably
Im going to sleep now im tired asf
It's 3 am
gl with your life man
enjoy it while you can
enjoy your next 24 hours

do you guys think dual ssds using raid is good?
do you have a reason for using raid
because i would say 99% of consumers have absolutely zero reason to do that
you're not really going to notice much of a difference then, a single ssd is generally more convenient for most people
alr then
@crimson scroll oh now i remember why i asked. its because buying two 1tb ssds was cheaper than a 2tb ssd. or at least the one im looking at
300 is a terrible price for that drive
yeah ik
Hey guys i wanna ask a question should i upgrade from a 60hz monitor to a 144hz monitor or from intel i5 -7400 to ryzen 5 3600
monitor because if you want to change processor you also have to change motherboard
I needto change motherboard if i want to change proccesor?
yes
Oh
👍
K thx
U dont necessarily need to change ur motherboard if the processor is compatible but monitor does sound like a better upgrade from 60hz to 144
processor is not compatible, intel wants to switch from amd as processor
but if you buy an intel processor it's fine
Hewo i wanna ask 1 more question lel
Which one is better in ur opinion asus vg249q or philips 242E1GSJ for the 144 monitor
My budget is $200 if theres somethin better than those 2 tell me
decided to ask here instead of the razer discord? lol
AOC C24G1 Monitor Gaming Curvo da 24", Pannello VA, FHD 1920 x 1080 a 144 Hz, 1 Porta D-SUB, 2 Porte HDMI, 1 Porta Display, Tempo di Risposta 1 msec, Nero: Amazon.it: Informatica
with freesync
sorry if amazon is different from yours and that i'm italian
but the asus monitor for me is a nice choice
Lol
Ook il choose theasus one then thx
This isnt a thing in my country sed
I heard that more thermal paste = colder CPU. First time building PC btw
um.... yeah.... not that much
I will add more then
Lollll
dont matter it was a joke
First? Whats as I5?
It's the CPU, it might specify in the product description
Oh the intel thing?
Yeah
so aim for a i3 10100f and 1650 super or rx580
Zowie XL2411K Moniter

Aerox 3
Arctis 5 Black

PC:
No idea what that is.
that pc auful
When did I say I'm Richie Rich?
what keyboard you getting?
Yesterday my friend gave me a Apex 100 keyboard so Im not in real need for one.
not bad at all
Trust me if the Apex 100 isnt the best at least its better than my old one.
Like literally.
Currently my moniter is Logitech.
Mouse is Logitech.
Old keyboard was logitech.
A lot was really cheap logitech.
Even my headphones!
look at the hp omen and pavillion pc line there good
Those are more than 1k dollars.
Way past my budget.
Just know Im only 14.
Ima take a break talking about this Im playing subnautica.
The only thing worth keeping my Old PC even when I get the new one is that It was my first PC I built with my dad.
This things like 4 years old
you should upgrade you old pc
Nah.
what specs does it have
It has a older Case that wouldnt be able to fit much.
?
im loosig brain cells talking to you im going no offence
No big deal Im the idiot guy who Doesnt know a lot on computers.
Don't say that, you're just new to the hobby then
Nah just forgot my talent. 😔 4 years ago when I built my own PC with my dad I was a genius on PC's.
Ever since My dad had to move to another state for military purposes I've forgotton what Ive learned.
do you know what he put in the pc
I dont remember all but there might be a way for me to find out.
do you have the pc on you now?
I think I remember my dad telling me I could open a thing that tells me the stuff.
Im using it.
https://www.nzxt.com/camapp
download that and it tells you everything in your pc
You don't have to install cam for that, just open task manager
if i has a good ish cpu and ram you can just get a gpu and a new psu
psu if your old psu aint good anymore
if he built it 4 years ago the cpu is probably old and might bottleneck the new gpu
every pc has ram
Here is what I connect to wifi with
Yet my computer is still slow.
And when Im on a lot this thing burns up.
I keep my fan on to cool it a bit
the wifi card gets hot?
Yep.
hm
cam is awful please don't recommend it
why is it awful
also yeah, usb wifi devices get hot
Here is my old one
explain
data collection mostly
it tells me my temps and tells me my specs if i have a stupid moment
you sign away so much for just hardware monitoring
and it doesn't even show that much compared to hwinfo64
are the temp innacurate?
it's bloated too
tbf most mobos past 450s have wifi
chipset has nothing to do with wifi or not
thats not what im getting at
its using 300mb of my ram its not bad lol
most motherboard running on 450 or higher also have wifi capability thrown in, atleast in regards to MSI
Ill just let you guys argue until I get results from something.
pretty accurate
oh
i use it all the time for my bench marking
i use it to check temps, but this laptop has horrible cooling
70c cpu with a browser, discord, and spotify open
I use the smell of burning plastic to benchmark personallyh
my gaming laptop was horrible for cooling but i returned it
what cpu you got in the laptop
i want to build a pc soon
8300h
@drifting flint
will be dissapointed if you dont go amd
dam not even a hot cpu tho
yeah its a dell laptop from 2018... they dont have good cooling
Ive found the exact opposite
amd cpus get really toasty in laptops
especially for midrange
No, not for the midrange
thats a fair point they have terrible cooling
no, intel is cheaper
^
Akum did you see the Specs?
pretty good you should get a new cpu and motherboard and more and faster ram, the gpu is fine better than them pr builts
they specialise in different things, I run a ryzen 5 2600 because im broke and it runs games much better than its intel equiv
You already have a 1060?
Not true lol
?
1060 3gb not bad for a 5 year old build
I guess so whats good about it?
1060s are a pretty solid gpu
I mean it has gotton little upgrades here and there.
it still stands its grounds in 2021
For zen +, the equivalent Intel was better at gaming, and amd was better at multithread applications, in general
I cant remember what it is but my dad comes from North carolina sometime so we can put a new component in.
Ill ask him.
on discord.
Wait
I think he comes today!
But we dont put in the componet today!
I think its just dinner today.
and the 9900k would still win out in some applications
besides, those speeds are just base
not boost or OC
thats fair AMDs overclocking is uhh
whats there boost clock?
those are older cpus tho
questionable
Huh?
lots of misinformation here
im not going to lie but you think you know everything dont you?
you act like it tho
No he doesn't
I wouldnt say he does
i'm confident on the facts i do know
