He acts well informed

crimson scroll
#

we're talking about old cpus, but here are some benchmarks

compact ore
#

@drifting flint Could you tell me what could be better on my PC again? I need to tell my Dad. DM please?

crimson scroll
#

clearly, the 3900x is not winning everything

#

despite having more cores

#

feel free to check the data yourself

#

For the AMD R9 3900X CPU review, we're focusing first on production workloads (Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, V-Ray, et al.) and secondarily on gaming.
Ad: Buy Gigabyte's X570 Master on Amazon (https://geni.us/HAcFHA)

#

oh of course not

crimson scroll
#

and this is why i'm confident, because i can back up my statements with data

nimble harness
#

cores dont mean everything

#

and it entirely depends on what you want it for

crimson scroll
#

yeah

drifting flint
nimble harness
#

for example video rendering the I9 would dunk on amd

crimson scroll
#

in premiere pro the 3900x wins

stray peak
crimson scroll
#

same with blender rendering

stray peak
#

the 1060 is actually pretty good

crimson scroll
nimble harness
#

I use my intel set up when im video editing n shiz

#

but amd for gaming

#

I guess allot if its just personal preference though

crimson scroll
#

its definitely dependent on which specific cpu you talk about

drifting flint
#

get corsair lpx 16gb 3200 £70 and i5 10400F £130 and some intel board £120? andany other head room for upgrades

crimson scroll
#

for certain generations the trend will lean towards one or the other

crimson scroll
#

Very funny

crimson scroll
#

Why not?

raw marsh
#

I have a friend with that spec

acoustic heath
#

breh

#

stfu

#

BRUH

brittle ingot
#

but If i were you try to get a Ryzen 9 5900x fosho

crimson scroll
#

I didn't say it was bad lol

#

What chip to get all depends on your use case

nimble harness
#

Clean your keys lads

lethal iris
#

does anyone know how to get a 2080

crimson scroll
#

evga b stock

#

although you'll still be paying big bucks that way

steady vector
#

can someone tell me if the lp rx 550 and i5 4590 will have any bottleneck

tiny osprey
#

When I built my pc in 2019

serene geyser
#

i like the case

tiny osprey
#

Thx it’s a cougar case

heady kite
hazy grove
#

it do be true '-'

#

so damn hard to get a board nowadays

lean quarry
lethal iris
#

maybe a piece of my leg

tall cove
#

What part of the leg we talkin about

lethal iris
#

ya want toes

#

i can give my kneecap

wary scroll
#

anyone want a 2060?

crimson scroll
#

if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

steady vector
#

anyone know what is the best gpu for the i5 4590 make sure the gpu is lp

raw marsh
#

You've asked this before and you've received answers

hazy grove
#

😂

steady vector
#

is it low profile

raw marsh
#

There is more than 1 iteration of 1070

true tartan
#

most are under 280mm

#

and duel slot

crimson scroll
#

lp generally means single slot

finite pier
#

What you guys think this will be my first pc will be upgrading later in the year

raw marsh
#

The spec is fine, but depends on the price

#

Might've liked b550 over b450 and maybe a bigger ssd tho

#

Also single channel 2400mhz ram Sadge

finite pier
#

It comes to 1400 euro

raw marsh
#

You may well be able to find something better

finite pier
#

This is the best I've being able to find near me graphics cards are the most expensive stuff to get rn

raw marsh
#

I realize that

finite pier
#

I upgraded to the b550

#

What ran would you recommend

#

Ram

raw marsh
#

Dual channel 2x8, maybe 3200mhz

finite pier
#

K ill have a look see if they got it on the website

#

They only do 2666mhz and 2400mhz

raw marsh
#

Not ideal

finite pier
#

Ok I found these

raw marsh
#

That's good

finite pier
#

I'll go with the 16gb for now

raw marsh
#

That's sure to be enough

finite pier
#

What's overclocked cpu mean?

raw marsh
finite pier
#

Naw I did a different build and all the cpu says overclocked

#

I'm trying to build the pc on pc specialist

#

Ok I did this price now comes to 1625 euro

raw marsh
#

A 3600x will be enough with a 2060

finite pier
#

K so it's worth the money for all of it?

#

Oh 3600x cpu?

raw marsh
#

Yes

finite pier
#

Ok

#

100 euro cheaper

#

Kk ty bro I'm new to doing this kind of stuff so don't really know much rn

raw marsh
#

Not sure if it's the best value, haven't looked into other options, but it should be good

#

Hope it works for you

finite pier
#

Thank you

raw marsh
#

Although there's no ssd in the last pic you posted? Don't leave that out.

finite pier
#

Ok let me have a look

#

There we go

I got extra stuff with it too more led lights and other stuff I got a bundle too that comes with a keyboard, mouse, mat and headphones

brazen ether
#

Guys what do u think about curved monitor? I got a choice of a curved monitor and a normal flat monitor both 26 inch 144hz the curved only cost $20 more should i get curved?

#

Its for gaming

wheat wyvern
#

it doesnt make the bigest differnce

brazen ether
#

Oo

#

K thx for ur opinion

wheat wyvern
raw marsh
brazen ether
#

The specs are similar

sage atlas
#

sometimes colors are different bcs of lcd panel (i don't speak english but i mean this witch can be ips/va/tn)

finite pier
#

I've got the benq ex2710 really good monitor gonna get the ex2510 once I get my pc

half wolf
#

random question, but i currently have a laptop with a 960m which is starting to lag a lot on newer games, would it be better to just build a new pc, or get a external gpu?

raw marsh
half wolf
#

k

radiant robin
#

Should I get an AIO Watercooler to make my PC sound less like a B-17 taking off?

raw marsh
#

Or an aircooler

#

But are you sure it's solely the cpu cooler responsible for the b-17 acoustics?

radiant robin
#

No, it's the fact that I have 3, 10 year old Rosewill fans XD

raw marsh
#

Then it might not make a huge difference

radiant robin
#

People question me when I tell them I have a Ryzen 3 3100 with 4 case fans lmao

#

But I got them for free in a case and no reason to not use them

#

nothing in my PC goes over 60C

raw marsh
#

Set a fan curve then

crimson scroll
#

i had 2 noctuas and 2 stock corsair fans with my r5 2600

radiant robin
#

That won't do anything

#

they are hooked directly into the PSU

crimson scroll
#

there's other components in there as well

radiant robin
#

I got the cheapest motherboard money can buy

#

so I can have 2 case fans and 1 cpu fan

#

that's it

crimson scroll
#

can always get fan splitters

radiant robin
#

ehhh

#

too many cables

#

I already have a non-modular PSU that I regret getting

raw marsh
#

Pick up some cable ties

radiant robin
#

I have some

#

I happen to just be lazy

crimson scroll
#

fair

radiant robin
#

I was given a free PC and was just going to switch out the case because the other one was bigger and it took me like 2 months to do it

crimson scroll
#

nice

steady vector
#

is there any bottleneck with the i5 4590 and the rx 550

true tartan
#

there is a 15-20% bottleneck with the 4590 and a 550

#

if they are overclock to 100%

#

@steady vector /\

steady vector
#

would the lp gtx 1050 be better

#

@true tartan

true tartan
#

yes alot better like the rx 5700xt is worse than a 2080s

#

@steady vector

steady vector
#

so what would the bottleneck be like

#

@true tartan

true tartan
#

no they are perfect

steady vector
#

whay

#

what

true tartan
#

It has less than a 8% bottleneck but is alot better than your rx550

steady vector
#

playing warzone on low would get 75 fps right

true tartan
#

what is your aveage fps

#

on warzone

steady vector
#

i dont have a gpu

true tartan
#

ok what fps are you aiming for

steady vector
#

75

true tartan
#

the rx 550 is way slower then the gtx 1050

steady vector
#

so get the 1050

#

btw i have a sff so k have to get the low profile one r the specs the same as the normal one

true tartan
#

let me do some price and performance checks

#

I would recomend getting a rx 580 because after some reserch it is chepper almost by $100 (the cheapes models) and it won't bottleneck your cpu

steady vector
#

cant do

true tartan
#

wat?

steady vector
#

i have a dell psu

#

and its oem

true tartan
#

what wattage is it

steady vector
#

255

true tartan
#

what type of case

#

motherboard

steady vector
#

idk i have the dell optiplex sff

#

3020

true tartan
#

Ok i check your pre built

#

this can;t be upgraded

steady vector
#

yeah it can

true tartan
#

how much did you spend on it

steady vector
#

50

noble oak
#

t]

true tartan
#

was it new or used

steady vector
#

if i just get a low profile gpu im good

#

used

#

i have duo channel ram

true tartan
#

try the sapphire rx 580

#

i think that it is low profile

steady vector
#

does it need external power

crimson scroll
#

that's 2 slot

#

and yes it needs external power

true tartan
#

saucy can help you now i need sleep

#

bye

#

well you have a prebuilt that has a small space

steady vector
#

i wanted to know how much would the bottleneck be with the gtx 1050 ti lp and the i5 4590

true tartan
#

same as the rx 580

steady vector
#

ok

true tartan
#

acually

#

it might bottleneck your cpu

static pecan
#

All the RX 580s require external power

#

He could get an RX 560 that doesn't, but I'm pretty sure the RX 570s also require external power

true tartan
#

you could get the newer version that has a rtx 3080 and a 5 10500t and aren't over $2000 but i don't know about your current finacel needs

crimson scroll
#

uh

true tartan
#

the prices very

steady vector
#

wtf

crimson scroll
#

that is so far from a used optiplex and a low profile gpu

static pecan
#

Lmao

steady vector
#

thats just buying a new pc now

true tartan
#

I am sleep deprived so i can answer one more question

static pecan
#

The entire point of buying a used Optiplex is to not invest an arm and a leg to get a somewhat decent PC

true tartan
#

yeah i know but the i5 and 550 he has is out dated

crimson scroll
#

it's fine for cheap

steady vector
#

i have no gpu still btw

crimson scroll
#

you could at least suggest something more reasonable

#

also, there are no 3080s under 2k

true tartan
#

I have a 2000 dollar laptop setup

crimson scroll
#

ok

#

good for you

static pecan
true tartan
#
#

look

#

in the usa it is under 2000

static pecan
#

Again... that's so far from what we're talking about here

steady vector
#

this gud

true tartan
#

ok bye i am going to sleep because i am sleep deprive

crimson scroll
#

that doesn't actually have an rtx 3080...

#

don't spread misinformation

static pecan
true tartan
#

ok i have a excuse i am sleep deprive

static pecan
#

Although I wouldn't pay $300 for it

crimson scroll
#

then....go to sleep

true tartan
#

but only at msrp

steady vector
#

nvrm needs a 6 pin

crimson scroll
#

i appreciate trying to help, but you're doing more harm

static pecan
true tartan
#

ok i admit it

#

bye

steady vector
#

what about the gt 1030

crimson scroll
#

you're limited to the 1030gt, 1050ti, 750ti, 1650, rx460, rx550, rx560

static pecan
crimson scroll
#

or i guess also the 1050

static pecan
#

True

#

Does the 1650 TI require external power?

#

Or is there even a TI version? I can't remember

crimson scroll
#

1650 super has 100w draw

#

pcie spec is 75

#

so it has one

steady vector
#

so 1050 it is

crimson scroll
#

or 1050ti

steady vector
#

yeah

safe siren
#

I ordered a GeForce RTX 3060 TI in january, but it arrives in September... Are there any good substitutes that doesn't take that long for delivery?

raw marsh
#

What's a 'good substitute', if all you want is a video output then a 1030 might be ok, but it's difficult to recommend a good temporary card at the current pricing

safe siren
#

Yeah something that's not very expensive but still would have a pretty good video output I guess

finite pier
#

@crimson scroll

it would be fine in warzone

anyone know where to get replacement parts for an MSI Alpha 15? Icant find any -_-

static pecan
#

Other than A) Sending the laptop back to MSI for an RMA or B) finding another old/used Alpha 15 and salvaging parts from that, there really isn't any. I doubt you'd be able to find people selling individual laptop parts on eBay or Craigslist or whatever

crimson scroll
#

you can but it's usually expensive

timid wind
#

Is corsair carbide spec-01 rgb is good ?

crimson scroll
#

Nah

#

Not airflow focused

It's pretty I guess and if you have low power parts its

stray peak
#

my laptop has has a ton of screen tearing on valorant, WAY more than any other games i play. it is a crappy 60hz screen though, anyone know why its like this? it makes it a lot harder to aim and just play the game

crimson scroll
#

what fps are you getting in game

stray peak
#

i capped it at 60

#

its the same as running on 70-80

crimson scroll
#

i assume you don't have gsync or freesync then

#

what's your vsync settings

stray peak
#

wdym v sync settings

crimson scroll
#

in the settings for valorant, there is a vsync option

#

do you have it on or off

stray peak
#

i think its off

#

ig i will try turning it on rn

#

But I don't use v sync in any other games

#

turning on v sync worked actually but the imput lag is very noticable

#

thanks for the help though

crimson scroll
#

yeah...

#

could also try rivatuner

stray peak
#

could a g sync compatible monitor work with it?

i heard you need DP for g sync and my laptop doesnt have a DP

im looking to get a m.2 for my pc but not sure what to look for, can anyone help?

crimson scroll

what are you using the ssd for

formal flax
#

mainly for quicker systems, may put some games on it so they run faster

crimson scroll
#

so you're putting windows install on it

#

get something with dram

#

aim for around 100-110 per tb

#

TLC is preferable to QLC usually

formal flax

thanks

crimson scroll

you can post what you find here and i'll tell you if it's decent

formal flax

any brand in particular i should look at?

crimson scroll

eh

models are safer bets than brands

every brand has good and bad stuff

formal flax

tbh im not great with computers

#

would you recommend anything

crimson scroll

depends on price

#

sn550, mushkin pilot e, sx8200 pro (old controller), 970 evo pro, etc. all good

👍

still pecan
lean quarry
#

Its quicker then a ssd

still pecan
#

I havent noticed much improvement over an normal ssd

lean quarry
#

Do you have windows installed on it

still pecan
#

For the normal consumer i think its not that important

#

Yeah

#

ANd before that i had it on a normal ssd

lean quarry
#

Its faster because most ssd are maxed at 600 mb nvme is is around 3 gb

raw marsh
#

An nvme is definitely recommended lol

still pecan
#

But nothing will ever use this write and read speed

#

Except for moving files

#

But you would need two nvmes for that to get the 3gb write/ read speed

lean quarry
lean quarry
crimson scroll
#

For most people they won't use the speed yet

#

But they're not really more expensive

#

So you might as well get an nvme over sata if you have the ports

still pecan
#

i didnt got an speed improvement on my windows

#

But if its the same price, why not

NVMe SSD for gaming is unnecessary atm. But in general use you can notice a little difference between NVMe and SATA SSD's. If you can find a cheap & good NVMe SSD, why not?

#

Also you'll need a heatsink for most NVMe SSD cuz if you tire them too much, they'll get hot.

crimson scroll

Untrue

Besides, some components of SSDs like to run hot

GIGABYTE b450 aorus pro wifi amd motherboard or GIGABYTE b450 aorus elite am4 atx motherboard is better?

If you want you can change the case to the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh

Why did you include a $100 windows key

If they dont want it I could fit in a 3080 though

You aren't gonna get a 3070 for $500 most likely, and you can pick up a $2 windows key online so why is that an option anyway

Gray keys: non-official Windows/software keys sold on Ebay/Amazon/other sites far below MSRP and not officially verified by Microsoft themselves. These keys are generally acquired in one of the following ways:

  • bought in a different market where they are reduced according to the economy there. These keys are not meant for the US/EU market.
  • legit keys bought with stolen credit cards, to not raise suspicion while making money for the thieves
  • pirated/illegally generated keys, which would have the same effect, while you pay someone to do it for you.
  • a combination of the above

Because of this, you're going against Microsoft’s (or any other software company's) EULA (End User License Agreement) and with that the Discord TOS. This is the reason we won’t recommend or preferably even discuss them here.

Run a stress test, if your pc crashes it's unstable

# steady vector how would i know if its unstable

Unigine Heaven is a good stress test for the RX 550. Just download that and run it on loop in the background while you're increasing the core mhz values. When you start seeing weird colors splotches or jagged lines that shouldn't be there, or when the system crashes then you know you've reached the card's limit and can start dialing in a stable oc

verbal mortar
verbal mortar
#

in 99% of the cases the bracket is the direction where air will come out

so lets say you install a fan in the front of your pc. you want the bracket to face the inside of your pc

and dont tighten one screw fully at once.

but thats just common sense i think

does using vrr effects anything

final mica
#

ive got a question i currently have a 2600x and an rtx 2070 i want to be able to play games such as rust and warzone at 2k and around 144fps what would be the wisest upgrade to do

rapid pivot
#

cpu upgrade imo

final mica
#

so who are the better CPUs at the time

#

i might as well look into getting an AIO

rapid pivot
#

ryzen 5 5600x is i think the best cpu right now

azure prism
#

R5 5600x is one of the best value cpus on the market currently.

final mica
#

i want something that will last a while

#

i have been out of touch with the industry for like the last 8 months due to studying so i dont know shit about the new stuff

verbal mortar
#

Newest lineup of Ryzen is pretty much the best yeah

#

and that comes from an Intel fanboy

#

ahahhaahha

crimson scroll
#

Intel is better value on the low to medium performance spectrum

#

A 10600k, 11400f would get you 90% of the performance of a 5600x while being way cheaper

azure prism
# crimson scroll Disagree

I didn't say the best I said one of the best. Where the 5600x excells is multicore preformence, the 10600k and 11400f are similar in single core to the 5600x, but in multicore it's still not very close. I would say it doesn't matter for gaming but if you're doing video editing or streaming the 5600x is the better option imo.

crimson scroll
#

11600k gets close, the 10700k is usually around the same price and does well in multicore as well

#

11600k pretty much tied with the 5600x and way cheaper

#

i own a 5600x. it's great. but it's definitely not good value right now

#

11600k is $250 on pcpp

#

10600k is 215, 10700k is 315

#

i didn't show chromium compile or 7zip; 5600x wins out in 7zip, the intel cpus win in chromium

#

so

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYdHTSQxdCM feel free to watch yourself

Intel's new i5-11400 CPU is one of the best-positioned potential rivals to AMD's long-standing $200 dominance -- except this time, AMD doesn't have anything new in that range.

raw marsh
#

What do you want to know specifically? You'll usually want 2 fans as intake, 2 as exhaust. If you want you could flip the top fan to intake which will create positive pressure and may reduce CPU temps, seeing as the case already has poor airflow.
