9900k would be the highest performing option.

#

I definitely wouldn’t go for the I3

i have the i3 version of that

mossy spear
#

woah

#

thats actually pretty decent nice one man

mossy spear
#

do 160 gig hhd sell anymore

rapid pivot
#

I’d say i5 10400f cause it’s a good cpu for the 1660, I’ve got a prebuilt with the 10400 and 1660 and they run basically any FPS game at 1080p on 60fps, I’d say it’s a good combo

thorny matrix
#

Is i5-9400f good for gtx 1650?

mossy spear
#

well if its sitting around 👀

#

bro 💀

silver tusk

anyone know what the circle means?

For each?

#

Yea

#

Just the moniters

HP: X24i

#

Any of these in your budget?

#

Ilyama AOC, and acer will probably be your best bet

burnt condor
#

Yea they’re in my budget, thank you👍

mossy spear
#

can i upgrade the cpu

#

in this case?

dry hatch
# mossy spear in this case?

The case doesn't matter at all. Your new CPU needs to fit the same socket on the existing motherboard. Also make sure your current CPU is not soldered in, as it would require special tools and a lot of care to remove properly.

dry hatch
# mossy spear in this case?

If your desired CPU does not fit the socket, you can also replace the motherboard. The other components should slot right in. This will most likely require a reinstall of your OS, although your files on the hard drive will be safe.

It's fine I guess

#

how

dark walrus
#

Can someone send me there set up

#

I’m new to this

#

So I can have an idea of a good setup

#

Like your built of

static pecan
#

Usually anything below about 25 inches is fine for a 1080p screen meaning you probably won't notice many pixels in text or small details like that, at 27 inches and above its best to go for a higher resolution like 1440p and above 32 inches the ideal experience would probably be 4K or 4K equivalent (depending on if the width of the monitor or whether or not it's an ultrawide)

static pecan
# dark walrus Can someone send me there set up

That's kinda broad. Do you have a certain price point or budget in mind for your PC? Also your use case like gaming and/or content creation, editing, streaming, etc. It would help to know so someone could send a good build suggestion that's actually in your price range and for your specific use case since everyone uses their PC for different things

queen violet
#

I’d say ideally: 21”-24” for 1080p. 24”-27” for 1440p. 27-30” for 4K

queen violet

Any recommendations of where I should build my pc

raw marsh

On a desk, preferably

#

With the price of GPUs these days, you can actually find some reasonably priced prebuilts on the market. Blasphemy I know.

raw marsh

Hardly blasphemy, prebuilts are definitely a viable option

What SI to use?

dark walrus

Idk what an SI is

System integrator, a company to build it for you

#

In which case I would recommend build Redux

dark walrus

Ok

Thank you

#

Do you know any like specific parts

Like which ones I should pick

Depends entirely on your budget

If your in the U.K. pre-builds are pretty damn good

#

But ye use pcpartpicker for your pc parts list. It’ll tell you what you need and whether it’s compatible

A 5600x would be around $250. + mbo +$100 or less. + 16gb of ram $80 + SN550 1tb $70.

$60 for a case and $60 for a psu.

So tbf it’s not bad actually

is the cpu good

It’s decent yes. Next gen will be faster in gaming but it definitely isn’t a slacker

mossy spear

wich is better than thay cpu

queen violet

5600x

mossy spear

is the i5 10400f better

queen violet

Depends on the game

But they are pretty similar if I recall

mossy spear

doesnt that cou have 8 cores

queen violet

The 3700x has slower 8 cores

5600x has 6 faster cores

If I had the choice of using a Dell computer or being beheaded, I would bring my own machete

I'm forced to use old dell prebuilts and god is it awful. They work, but they're the same age as me and barely work given they've had little to no maintenance for 10+ years

lucid wigeon
#

gotta give it to dell, their customer support when a product is still in warranty is pretty good

static pecan
#

Yeah their monitors are actually pretty good for the price point. I was considering one when looking for a new 1440p gaming panel but went with a Gigabyte one because it was IPS and on sale lol

feral rampart
#

does anyone else's CPU have to "rev up" for a few minutes before running at a lower percentage? My CPU runs at 100% for like 5 minutes and goes back down to 30% usage.

static pecan
#

Probably a Windows Defender scan or something similar. The impact will obviously be worse on lower core count CPUs. The fans will ramp up in my 5900X system every once in awhile but I don't notice any performance degradation while Windows Defender is doing a scan

feral rampart

It's not a problem on startup, it's a problem in game

could it possibly be not enough cooling? I did go cheap on the CPU fan...

or undervolt

mine always spikes for 2 sec to 100%

but doesnt affect other applications

#

or is task manager glitchy

smoky breach
#

mine goes up to 53

#

for 2 secs

queen violet
#

When opening task manager it’ll go pretty high because it is loading a lot of processes

queen violet
feral rampart
#

No it handles task manager very well at first, not even spiking above 15%

queen violet
feral rampart
#

For like 5 minutes yeah

#

It stays at 100 then flies down to 25

upbeat lagoon

but wen i alt tab valo uses less than 10% cpu and abt 5gb ram but the moment i launch task maanger it goes to 100% then back to 10%s

👋 Heyo, need some advice. I've been looking at the Odyssey G, not the new Neo G9 $2k+ for a monitor would hurt me too bad, but I've heard of a lot of issues with the Odyssey, any of you smarties in here know if the production issues were ever addressed, or if I should say screw it & eventually just go for the updated Neo G9 once the firmware issues are fixed?

#

(please dont tell me the new one is just infinitely better & thats what i should go for i might cry at the thought of that much money for 1 single monitor)

raw marsh
#

I believe flickering was fixed, not sure about the scanlines tho. Could be fine, I don't think you'd be unhappy with it

#

Plus you could always send it back if it really sucks

noble oak

Can anyone tell me a good pc that I can upgrade over time?
Budget: £600

i have a potato. that's about all you can afford with the budget set before me

Guys whats the diffrence between storing games at hdd instead of sdd can that causes lag , stutter and lower fps? Or is it just loading time speed diffrent

store games on ssd = faster load times and slightly better performance (much better on laptops)

Whats better about the performance? I have a 2tb hdd already should i buy 500 gb ssd?

is this for graphics cards or prebuilts

both

they are just like your regular hardware supplier

since its atleastoveprriced by around 400 pounds.

You reckon you could find better for a similar price?

sturdy comet

no, since you shouldent consider a prebuilt anyway

mellow ferry

I am tho? Cos atm with graphics cards prebuilts are more decently priced

sturdy comet
#

no not really

#

they just give you other shit parts in for return

so proft marge for them keeps bigger and bigger

What could I get for that price if I built it myself?

Yes. Although I think their are some 5600x 3070 build I’ll have a look for.

there is but theyre out of my budget

Stock cooler for the 5600X is fine if not overclocking, 650W is fine for a 3070TI as long as you aren't manually adjusting voltages or OCing

Yep. You should only be undervolting with an offset on 30 series card anyway. Even with a power limit offset a gold 650w should handle it.

People treat pcs and laptops as something super separate but they're really not

I have like the usb cable for the Xbox 360 controller

#

But is not working

#

Not recognizing it

It does a sound when I connect it

A laptop is just a compact desktop with reduced clocks and a battery

Ahhh a 360 controller might not be supported

One controller should tho

It is

proud ermine
#

I'm confused on how some builds support ddr4 3600 memory but some dont

narrow bluff
# proud ermine I'm confused on how some builds support ddr4 3600 memory but some dont

my limited understanding is that any ram above a certain speed (which i dont actually remember) is actually being overclocked to that speed (which is what the XMP profiles are) but the ram has been pretested to confirm that the speed is stable, so its about your motherboard chipset and how much ram overclocking it allows for. Though i'm sure someone with more knowledge can correct me if i'm wrong

proud ermine
#

Ohh

#

Ok

#

So if that is the case then do I need to play around with the bios or anything

#

Or is it automatic

raw marsh
#

You'll have to enable xmp in the bios

proud ermine
#

#

Thx

queen violet
#

Z series motherboards allow full Overclocking.(Ram past 2666 is classed as Overclocking)

#

Only b560’s support 2666+ ram. H series and b460’s don’t

#

But make sure it’s enabled in bios via xmp/docp

proud ermine
#

ahhhh

#

so it all depends on how much room the motherboard allows for

#

what about the CPU?

#

i've heard stuff like "ryzen 5000s are a good choice for 3600mhz"

raw marsh
#

Well Ryzen likes high speed ram

queen violet
#

Ya ryzen can do 3600 on zen 2 and Zen3, Zen 3 can do 3733/3800 pretty consistently

#

Intel can do 4000+

#

Maybe 4400 in good conditions

crimson scroll
#

it's ram,motherboard and chip dependent

queen violet
#

Most motherboards can do atleast 4000mhz before having issues.

#

Aslong as it isn’t locked, and isn’t a £90 budget option it should be ok

#

3600mhz cl16 ballistix is a good option for both amd and intel builds.

So uhm i am moving soon to my university and i need a pc. I leave my old one at my parents home.
I am thinking about getting a mini pc onle for office work.
Does anyone has any recommendations?

#

I mean, its it sensible to get a mini pc?

raw marsh
#

Sure, it's not a bad idea

#

But what's your budget and use case

minor lintel
#

Budget... doesn't matter.
Mostly office work, editing documents, writing term papers.
Maybe a bit gaming

crimson scroll
#

if you don't care too much about the budget, intel nucs cover the whole spectrum of performance

#

they are definitely not cheap

Would a mod be so kinda as to look at this channels recent chat log and send what I posted to DJ here? I wrote a good amount of stuff and linked him a Laptop and I really don’t want to have to write it out again.

crimson scroll
#

I will recommend a Laptop I think is great. A mini PC is worth it too if you’re staying in your dorm, but for times where you would be required to write during your lectures, I like to do all my writing on a Laptop so I have everything in one place.

MSI Stealth 15M A11UEK-070UK FHD 144 Hz 15.6 Inch Gaming Laptop (Intel i7-11375H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB, 1TB NVMe Gen3*4 PCIe SSD, 16 GBRAM, Intel Wi-Fi 6) Carbon Gray-Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08ZYNR7HZ/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_WYX7AFP962GGRM482YM6

This one is very worth it for the money. Sleek design and just looks nice and light enough to carry around, very good hardware. This thing will do all your heavy gaming sessions, if you play more demanding titles. Sure it may be overkill, but be that a Laptop just for Uni, but I think for future proofing, this is a good all round Laptop for gaming. It also has a storage expansion to you can add more storage and upgradeable RAM, if you want more memory etc. Also due to it’s thin design the key presses are also pretty quiet so you wont disturb others all that much c: if someone is bothered fk em xD

Well it's not the end of the world depending on what game you play. I hope you don't play Call of Duty Warzone though

Obviously not. However you will simply not get a card for MSRP right now

I managed to obtain an RTX 3070Ti for 999€, an Asus TuF at that and i think i got a really good deal.

#

Here there's over 25 RTX 2060 ASUS Dual gpu:s available for 550€

Nothing inherently wrong with them, you just get so much more with Nvidia.

I'm also satisfied with my RTX 3070Ti, it's great at 1080p :)

frosty mulch

u have special amd programms which espacially if u also have a ryzen cpu you can boost ur peformance by 10-40%

crimson scroll

40% isn't realistic

frosty mulch
serene oxide
#

And yea that's not true

#

And i'll be sticking with my intel cpu:s too.

crimson scroll

Just don't fanboy

serene oxide
#

So many friends have to RMA their AMD CPU:s

#

And have had to, so yeah no thanks

frosty mulch
#

well, if you want to keep ur intel and nvidia. they are absolutely not bad like imean still top of the top so im happy for u

serene oxide
#

Reason why i pay premium is simply the fact that i know what i'm getting

frosty mulch
#

its not like when amd says u get that much of ghz they won't give it too u

serene oxide
#

That's why for example i bought the Asus TuF version of 3070Ti instead of something else

#

Yeah, but also AMD cpu:s are just not fun to tinker with

frosty mulch
#

tinker?

serene oxide
#

Overclock and tune

#

They're so sensitive

frosty mulch
#

#

serene oxide
#

Depends on the game you play.

frosty mulch
#

Also i'd literally have to buy a Ryzen 9 5950x just to get a meaningul performance increase from my age old i9 9900k, rather wait for Alder lake

There's a lot of 🤦‍♂️ in what I'm reading

serene oxide
#

Feel free to give your opinion

#

No need to be shy, i'm not a kid

I'm well aware that in many applications AMD cpu:s are just better, but for what i use my computer for, i wouldn't gain much framerates for my games that i play, it makes no sense for me to ugprade yet

I will literally never put another Nvidia product in any of my PCs ever again. Out of the two cards I've had, one in a desktop and one in a laptop, both of them died (my 970 actually caught fire inside my case).

I’m guessing it’s around 1.45-1.5v.

serene oxide

Also i believe i have mine at 1.45v, that is of no concern. I have a ram fan

devout wolf

it gets unstable over 1.35v

queen violet

1.45v is well within safe

If not low

devout wolf
queen violet

Could push to 1.5-1.6v and you might be able to tighten further. 3800 cl14 possible

Just need to keep temps down. But with a ram fan you should be ok.

winged jacinth

a RAM fan?

crimson scroll

Yeah

A fan you place over the ram

Corsair make a nice ram fan setup. Or you can just cable tie an 80mm to them.

winged jacinth
#

Huh

#

I didnt even know that was a thing

#

Do you think DDR5 RAM is gonna need active cooling?

serene oxide
#

I have tried 14:s, but even at 1.55v no dice. I should try 1.6v

queen violet
devout wolf

one one hand you have lower voltages on DDR5

I got the corsair vengeance ram fan actually

queen violet

I’ve heard about some manufacturers offering Active cooling ram sets.

Although at jedec prolly not

devout wolf
#

on-board voltage regulation

should be fine with a heatspreader and some airflow for most regular kits

queen violet

If your Overclocking it’s likely you’ll want one

But at ≈ 5000mhz-7000mhz you should be ok.

same here, just stick with your current setup bc like ddr4 when it came out it wasnt the best, wait a couple days after launch to see if its worth getting and if not wait a couple months bc people are bound to be fixing that issue quick, why would you upgrade if its not worth it you know?

Currently re-building my PC for a new case and a light that corresponds to "DRAM" lights up. My GPU and RAM are in correctly, so is everything else. I was wondering if I could get some help please?

#

All the cables are in

#

HDD and all.

#

I'll just swap my RAM around I guess.

queen violet
#

Try 1 stick of ram. If that does work change ram slots. If that doesn’t work change sticks and repeat

#

If none of that works try reseat you’re cpu.

#

And check for bent pins

#

Okay, thanks!
