i dont have a pc but i have money to build one but idk where to start

crimson scroll
#

Start with what you want to do with the pc

#

And the budget

terse crater
#

i want to have a good gaming pc

#

budget of 2.3k

raw marsh
#

Currency?

terse crater
#

gbp

crimson scroll
#

So 1440p high refresh rate gaming, maybe ultrawide

#

Or 4k at a bit lower refresh rate

#

Which direction do you want to go?

terse crater
#

better graphics

#

prob 4k

crimson scroll
#

When are you buying

terse crater
#

after Christmas

crimson scroll
#

Come back then

terse crater
#

black friday maybe

crimson scroll
#

Prices for stuff change a lot

terse crater
#

yeah

#

You'll be probably looking at a 3080 and 12600k/5800x

#

Cpu doesn't matter as much

I’d get a 27” 4K monitor if possible. The smaller it is, the denser it is and will look better.

smoky breach
#

Not necessarily

#

If you want it to look better then get a monitor with 100% srgb, micro led with a good amount of local dining zones. 10 bit display with 1200-1600 nits peak brightness and HDR

#

Good 1440p > low end 4k

#

M27q good

#

Ish

#

For the price is good

#

1440p 170hz ips panel

queen violet
#

A micro Led 4K 144hz monitor is gunna be very expensive

#

In the range of 1200 iirc

Is the 12700k worth it? I'm thinking of getting it

smoky breach
#

I know the 12600k is

#

Lemme check

#

I think it's competing with the 5900x

smoky breach
#

850 or 950?

queen violet
#

both

#

850 is 1440p. 950 is 4K

noble oak
#

yes

#

the acer predator-x27-bmiphzx is decent i think

#

the local dimming isnt the best but at least its there

#

i dont know the price lol

I just dropped $2k USD on a Dell prebuilt. Way over priced but I used to do work for Marvel/Disney so I kind of needed a new processor for the Win11 trust chip thing.

I've been eating sandwiches for like 2 months. but at least i'm eating xD

RX6600

noble oak
#

Honestly it wasn't 'that' bad. 3060ti+i7 unlocked and 32 gb of ram. I do animation and my 1050ti just wasn't cutting it anymore.

#

My next project is water cooling or finding a heatsink with a noctua fan i can fit in my case

lucid fog
noble oak
#

Oh yeah that'll do nice

#

I was looking at AMD but for whatever reason the more beefy build configs were intel only

#

Makes finding a watercooling bracket a bit of a hassle

lucid fog
#

@noble oak I personal still love Air cool, higher risk with watercooling IMO, even with AIO just water need CPU ( NO GO for me ) soo I still to pure AIR plus I like the look of them more

noble oak
#

I'd go air cooler but the case is just dumb. they pretty much just slapped a mobo in a metal box and said done. Not enough clearance to put in any cpu heatsink that would be better than stock so AIO is the lesser of 2 evils.

#

I've watched like 3 hrs of youtube stuff prepping for this'

white sequoia
#

Y dell in particular tho?

noble oak
#

In stock and since they make their own dell brand 30 series cards i was able to get a hardware warranty on it

what storage devices would you guys recommend? for a similar sort of price? preferably not hdds

sn550

lucid fog
# smoky breach 11400f better

Ye I look at the specs its better but its Intel, and with all of the issue's when i used their CPU (Specture/Meltdown ) All AMD allows for overclocking & unvolting Intel locks it all, Freedom to do what i want

Plus supporting AMD atm over Intel it more importent giving AMD my money to put into beating/improving CPU we seen what Intel did when they had nothing to compete with

idle bridge
#

or just a higher capacity 980

#

Corsair Elite Capellix a bit overpriced but the RGB is probably a stylistic choice

#

Wait

#

holy shit

#

it's twice the price of the Arctic Freezer II 240

(At least where I live)

sturdy comet

#

12600k 💀

#

Compared to 5600X it's bussin

basically the price of about a 5600x with almost 5800x peformance

since they dont belong in the same price category

Ah

I guess prices are just crap where I live

best 34" curved monitor under $700-800? preferably 2k/4k with high refresh, but I prefer color accuracy to resolution. Normally I'd go for a MSI Optix MPG341CQR but it's getting a bit on the old side and I'm wondering if there's something newer & better for the price?

@queen violet gtx 1080 and rtx 2060 for about the same price which is more better??

queen violet
#

1080 will have better performance

#

but do you want rtx/dlss?

upbeat lagoon
#

but doesnt gtx cards support amds fsr

#

??

raw marsh
#

yeah, it's just really not as good

upbeat lagoon
#

actually my monitors are 1080p 200hz and other is 1440p 75hz

#

i usually play csgo valorant and other competitive games on 1080p

#

and i play single player titles on the 1440p display

#

atleast i plan to on 1440p display since the card i have now will die

queen violet
#

but fsr isnt nearly as good

upbeat lagoon
raw marsh
#

Depends entirely on the game

queen violet
#

but yes in most cases it should be able to do 1440p high/medium 60fps

upbeat lagoon
#

most upcoming games will prolly depend on dlss performance rite

noble oak
#

yeah☠

queen violet
#

But with a 75hz monitor should be able to run that native

upbeat lagoon
#

in rare cases fsr can come in clutch

upbeat lagoon
#

if i were to go amd gpu what wud u recomend for 5800x

#

6700xt or 6800xt for 1440p

static pecan
#

Depends on what kind of settings you want to run and the kind of performance you want. If you want to run ultra on every game at 144+ FPS then go with a 6800XT, if you don't care about ultra and want to run medium-high 1440p at 100+ FPS then go with the 6700XT. Honestly though these days it mostly comes down to what card you can get your hands on and how much you're willing to pay https://youtu.be/OMjgFJBRHVY

I am probably going to build a pc and I got the parts but I am scared for 2 things

The motherboard**(Gigabyte A520 Aorus Elite (rev. 1.0) Motherboard ATX)might need BIOs update Because I will get the Ryzen 5 5600X
I was talking with someone who's job is building computers and coding and he said that he is avoiding Gigabyte because has had gigabyte parts die early so now I am scarred for my GPU
(Gigabyte VGA GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC V2 12 GB)**as well

crimson scroll
#

uh

#

what's with the spoilers lol

flat notch
#

Why did you send it with spoilers

crimson scroll
#

but for the most part it's just very specific psus that gigabyte makes

static pecan
# noble oak I am probably going to build a pc and I got the parts but I am scared for 2 thin...

I'm using a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite in the build I did in last December and I've had no issues with it. Plus Gigabyte boards have the BIOS flashback feature where you don't need a CPU or RAM to update the BIOS. Just download the latest bios package onto an empty USB drive and plug that into the marked BIOS flashback port on the motherboard. Just plug the board into a PSU and press the button. It'll have specific instructions for doing it so you don't mess it up

crimson scroll
#

the rest of their stuff is generally fine

#

i have a b550i aorus pro ax and it's fine

static pecan
#

And I've had a Gigabyte RX 460 GPU for like 6 years and it's still going strong even with an overclock. In general most of Gigabyte's stuff is fine, it's just their RGB software that's terrible

noble oak
crimson scroll
#

makes it a bit harder to figure out what you're talking about

static pecan
#

Yeah that was weird

noble oak
#

there, fixed it

crimson scroll
#

👍

crimson scroll
#

yes

static pecan
#

Yep

crimson scroll
#

and it may not even need a bios update

noble oak
#

ok thanks 👍

static pecan
#

True, most of the boards now are probably shipping with the Zen 3 bios, but it's always good to double check

#

Zen 3 is a year old at this point so unless you just happened to get a motherboard that's been sitting on the shelf for 2 years or more you shouldn't need to worry about the BIOS

queen violet
#

The only slight issue I’ve found having an x570 tomahawk/decent motherboard is, if I just have pbo enabled it runs my cpu balls to the wall.

#

I got 133W drawn in OCCT stock with my 5600x

#

Its arguably better for stability to get a cheaper board lol

crimson scroll
#

if you run pbo you should also undervolt

queen violet
#

I have

crimson scroll
#

and i would disagree with that last statement, generally higher end boards will have more features/better management so you can tune

queen violet
#

My cpu has a broken core however, so I have to run it at +10 voltage to stay stable

#

And running a manual frequency increases degradation, so I’m auto boosting to 4.65ghz due to the headroom.

queen violet
#

I sorta wish pbo would allow you to set a pbo clock offset for each core. That would be extremely useful for me.

crimson scroll
#

if the cpu can't handle the motherboard voltage, then the motherboard can just...send less?

#

you'd run into the same issue with a cheaper motherboard

queen violet
#

My issue is, I’m not exactly sure how pbo works but the auto limits seem to be based around the motherboard, because other people with different motherboards but similar cooling to me don’t seem to have their CPU’s pushed so far while stock.

crimson scroll
#

yeah each manufacturer has different ways they set voltage

#

but that's not the point

#

unless you're running into an issue where a motherboard won't/can't deliver a certain voltage

queen violet
#

The actual voltage delivery isn’t the issue as far as I’m aware

#

It’s probably the default current limits I think.

#

I never thought I’d have to set a 100W power limit for a 6 core chip with an undervolt.

crimson scroll
#

gigabyte is notorious for setting their voltages higher than specified

#

but still, you can get to the workable point with the more expensive motherboards

noble oak

Guys, crowd sourcing to get a new gpu. Shops here where I live have notoriously high prices even with MSRP, problem is the only cards I see available are the 1650 super and the 6600XT. Any input on this would be highly appreciated.

I don't really run anything on ultra high graphics as it makes me nauseous, don't play AAA titles and mainly play older games like Planetside 2, Destiny 2, SC2 and WC3 Reforged.

queen violet
#

6600xt is always going to be better, higher refresh rates might help with the nausea too. And you’ll be able to keep it for longer before replacing.

glacial seal
#

Sankyoo @queen violet Will a 450W bronze rated psu suffice for it or should I also change it?

queen violet
#

It’s certainly not ideal, but probably won’t explode with a 6600xt

glacial seal
#

As long as I don't OC the darn thing right?

queen violet
#

Yep

#

Well, stock it’s around 180W on its own

Black friday week or something aswell

craggy sparrow

Yeah

noble oak
#

Hopefully this build will get me like 240 capped fps in fortnite scrims etc

#

Since the pc i have rn is fucking pissing me off

stable grail
#

that will be a nice pc for sure.

#

defiantly report back how it runs

noble oak
#

I wasn’t planning on getting a pc then my parents randomly told me get a pc budget 3,5-4k

#

So didn’t know what to get since prices are overpriced as hell rn

noble oak
stable grail

it a tough time to buy or builds but if not on my dime why spare the expense. lol

i dont think that pc is great
how much does it cost

smoky breach
noble oak

It costs 3600 euros

Belgium

#

Why would it not be great?

crimson scroll

the performance is fine

#

the cost is not great

#

picked this up though, crazy deal

jade rapids
#

wait a minute, $150 discount? so like, you paid $29.99 for it?

crimson scroll
#

nah i paid 189

#

the msrp of 330 is inflated but 189 is still really good

jade rapids

ah, righto

Where are you getting a sn850 2tb for 180

180 is an incredible price

Which GpU?

lucid fog
queen violet

Nice

lucid fog

low/mid range altho with all the GPU price issue I could say its High end

I only payed MSRP for it £300 or soo

altho it overclock like mad ( Memory 1750 to 1900

Core 2574 to 2700

smoky breach
lucid fog
#

Check for anysigns of overheating Package Temps is 58c but Jtemp at 71c

queen violet
#

3060 over the 6600

#

But 6600xt is sorta different story

tender rune
#

I would get a 3060

#

It is just overall better at this point of time in my opinion

#

Depends

#

what are you going to use it for?

white sequoia
#

10700k has higher multicore, but probably lower single thread

tender rune
#

If you wanna spend a little more I would go with the 10700k

#

I compared them and it wins in almost everything

white sequoia
#

Ok

#

10700k is higher end

lucid fog
#

4.3Ghz on a 3600 1.1V at 60c soo far

#

wait i'm confused can someone explain why I'm now getting stable 1.1v ( When i'v not touched Volts ) but when it was at Stock 3.6ghz Ryzen 3600 it was spiking at 1.45v but somehow changing the base clock to 4.3 make it go to 1.1v ?

smoky breach
#

Yes

#

That's because that's an all core oc

#

At stock your cores aren't all at 4.3 ghz

lucid fog
lucid fog
lucid fog
#

stable at 1.2v witch is still a lot less then what it was going at

it was going at 1.45V and hitting 91c
go it under 85c but i rarely ever full max out my CPU

queen moat
#

is the core i7 good?

white sequoia
#

Which core i7

#

There are 12 generations with about 5-10 different i7s in each

lucid fog
queen moat
jade rapids
#

i7 processors have always been considered one of the best choices for Intel builds when going for high-spec, up until recently with the release of i9 the i7 was the highest spec processor you could get from Intel's Core™ lineup, next step up from that used to be enterprise Xeon processors for servers and workstations.

#

each generation has multiple variations, from the mobile and low power versions for laptops, to the standard desktop/server options, to the high-spec overclockable and unlocked versions. For most desktop gaming things the unlocked and extreme variants are preferred, these are the K and X variants. The suffix at the end of the model number is the variant. (list here: https:// www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html)

#

so yes, Core™️ i7s are generally good processors

#

just go for a newer (10 thru 12th) gen if you're looking to buy new, these should last a minimum of 5-10 years, if previous generations are anything to go by

white sequoia

Ryzen 7 tho...

Start with the motherboard

hollow ruin

no start with the hard drive'

white sequoia
#

Do not listen to pookie

noble oak
#

Bruh

#

Still building

#

First time tho

#

I cant figure out where tf i need to plug my aio cooler on the motherboard

#

B550

#

@queen violet

#

Could you help

white sequoia
#

Aio should be plugged in after mobo is mounted in case

#

If u already did that then cool

#

It should be an AIO header or a pump header

#

Ok

#

Right circle is the pump, left circle is for fans

torpid wadi
# noble oak

Should have went with different motherboard but that’s ok

#

Like asus b550 or asus x570

white sequoia
#

Whats wrong with msi b550?

#

B550 should be fine for anyone who doesnt oc

smoky breach
#

msi b550 a-pro?
msi pro-vdh?
msi bazooka?
if its not one of those its either overpriced or bad

white sequoia
#

Ok

#

From what ive seen, asus is generally best, followed by msi, then gigabyte, then asrock

torpid wadi
white sequoia
#

I dont care about looks. Bring back the old green boards for all i care

queen violet
#

You’ll then likely need to plug the pump header into the motherboard

#

And possibly a usb or SATA power cable

noble oak
#

Im at school rn

#

Imma finish the build whenever i get home

#

I haven’t done a lot tho i’ve only put my cpu, ram and aio on my motherboard

queen violet
#

That’s ok

#

You’ll want to put the nvme in too

noble oak
#

Yeah forgot to mention that done that already

queen violet
#

Ok, time to put the motherboard in, then Mount the rad at the top of side of the case

lucid fog
#

i have no idea why my motherboard was like Here 1.4v into my cpu by default anPANIC i'v manual turned it down to 1.15v

queen violet
#

Is it amd?

#

Cause that’s totally normal for amd

lucid fog
#

maybe i'm dumb but why is a lock freq speed use less volt then a dynamic Freq
4.1 default all core = 1.43v
locked 4.3 = 1.2v HOW!

queen violet
#

Because locked is a terrible idea on amd

#

It reduces performance and in increased degradation

smoky breach
#

howw

queen violet
#

B-Die + Ram Fan

smoky breach
#

lol
her voltage is definitely above 1.55

smoky breach
queen violet
queen violet
#

are you on manual clock? or pbo + 200?

smoky breach
#

that was manual OC to 4.7ghz but task manager said 5.17 when i opened wallpaper engine

queen violet
#

ye manual is really not a good idea on amd

noble oak
#

Yo guys

#

Cpu idle is 50 degree

#

That normal?

#

Finally build my pc

#

Took 11 fucking hours

#

First time tho

#

thats idle

white sequoia
#

What is it under load?

#

If it is a good temp under load, it doesnt matter

#

My cpu idles at 50 and can hit almost 90 at load

queen violet
noble oak
#

AT LOAD

white sequoia
#

Thats good temps

#

Wait

#

15% isnt that much load

tribal siren

Is this ok?

frosty mulch
frosty mulch
#

let me check mine

#

im studying and i have 41 celcius atm

#

with the same cpu

#

really depends on coolers, the case and place of the case.

#

think difference of load makes it

noble oak
#

ight

queen violet
#

Not having a cpu cooler isn’t ok

white sequoia
#

Or ram

#

Or gpu on an f cpu

noble oak
#

why is my gpu randomly spiking up to 100

smoky breach
frosty mulch
smoky breach
#

yes
that was a year ago tho

#

my cpu brokey now
not sure how

white sequoia
#

F

frosty mulch
#

i dont trust to overclock my own cpu tbh

smoky breach
#

a
just use pbo if ryzen

frosty mulch
#

pbo?

#

i have a ryzen 9 5900x btw

#

I heard abt msi dragon center gaming mode

#

is that a good one or nah

smoky breach
#

not sure about that
auto oc in general is bad

white sequoia
#

Dragon center is their laptop software

#

Afterburner is the sort of oc thing

smoky breach
#

thats for gpus

#

gpu OC is the safest type of OC

white sequoia
#

True

frosty mulch
white sequoia
#

I OC my 750ti to gain 1% in userbenchmark a while ago lol

frosty mulch

I have an msi motherboard and monitor

white sequoia

frosty mulch

Tried to overclock my monitor

#

Well

#

Made it from 165hz

To 166hz

white sequoia

🎉

smoky breach
#

same

frosty mulch
#

idk how people can make from 144hz 200hz

smoky breach
#

got mine to 169hz

frosty mulch
#

cus it aint possible

white sequoia
#

I dont see the point

frosty mulch
#

it can be handy

white sequoia
#

Im fine with 144hz, dont need 150hz or whatever

#

Its not enough to matter

frosty mulch
#

Thats crazy

#

But idk how

white sequoia

I feel like not borking my monitor rn

craggy sparrow

I dont think i need gpu oc tbh

smoky breach

what gpu

frosty mulch

rx6900xt

Aio version

white sequoia

I cant oc mine

#

Laptop gpus wont go any higher

frosty mulch
#

isnt ur laptop fire if you overclock somethinf

#

like fire hot

white sequoia
#

No

smoky breach
white sequoia
#

Thats cpu

#

Nvidia sets maximum wattages on gpus

#

Plus, it will just hit thermal limits

frosty mulch
#

How much can you overclock my cou

#

Cpu

#

my ryzen 9 5900x

smoky breach
#

i wouldnt really daily drive manual OC
use pbo instead

#

its in bios

frosty mulch
#

like it auto do things for you?

smoky breach
#

its in amd overclocking \ pbo settings \ curve optimiser
then set it to per core or per ccx
then set the offset to negative and type any value between 10-30
probably start with 12

#

make sure its a negative offset

#

what pbo does is it lowers the voltage by a slight amount and allows the cpu to hit higher frequencies for longer periods without throttling

frosty mulch
#

Undervolting with other words

smoky breach
#

yes

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v8gb4d
it really depends on what you want do get
this parts list seems ok
but im not quite familiar with the US market so not sure if its the best price to performance
also you are gonna have to try find a gpu for a good price

"5.20: Hynix 4Gbit AFR Confirmed" anyone who has this ram, i feel bad for them

It’s one of the only products I don’t regret buying for my pc

devout wolf
#

AFR can have some alright bins

obtuse pendant
#

Can someone tell me what this cable is nd where to plug it in? It’s connected to an aio fan

queen violet
#

Should go into the motherboard cpu fan header

obtuse pendant
#

@queen violet so the other cable that was attached to the fan would be the rgb one?

#

it looked similar just without the things on the side and it had 3 pins in a 4 pin looking thing

queen violet
obtuse pendant
queen violet
obtuse pendant
#

These are the cables im confused about

#

i know the one that im holding on top is the fan cable

#

but whats the boittom one

queen violet
#

One is for fan speed, one is for rgb power

#

Just trying to work out which is which

#

Which aio is it?

obtuse pendant
#

@queen violet lian li's galahad aio 240

queen violet
#

Ok so is this coming from the fans or the pump? @obtuse pendant

queen violet
#

The 3 pin is for rgb

obtuse pendant
#

there's also a cable from the pump that looks like the bottom cable in the latest photo, but with 3 pins

#

is that also for rgb

queen violet
#

The 3 pin one that looks the the fan power/control is for the pump

#

The wierd looking one form the pump is the rgb one

obtuse pendant
#

ok

#

now which ports on the mb do these go

#

im sorry for wasting so much of your time btw

queen violet
#

Pump goes to pump header

queen violet
#

Fan power/controls go to the motherboard chassis headers

#

Because there is you might need a splitter if you don’t have 3 chassis headers

obtuse pendant
#

could the aio fans go to the sys_fan_pump ports

queen violet
#

Pump port is for the aio pump

#

Which motherboard is it?

#

I’ll take a look in the manual to see which ports to use

obtuse pendant
#

aorus b550 pro ac

smoky breach
#

Hi

queen violet
#

Ok so pump header goes System Fan Pump 5 or 6 whichever is better

obtuse pendant
#

oh?

#

i thought that would be for the fans

#

i have the pump in cpu_fan

queen violet
#

Pump goes in a pump header

#

Case chassis fans go in the chassis fan headers 1/2/3/4

obtuse pendant
#

ok

queen violet
#

You then have a Cpu Fan + Opt header for the aio fans

obtuse pendant
#

k thanks

#

you are a lifesaver

queen violet
#

Np Bud, have a good day 👍

obtuse pendant
#

@queen violet and just double checking

#

the one with the claw things on the side is the fan cable

#

NOT the rgb

#

right?

queen violet
#

Double check which has which number of pins

#

The claw one had 3 pins from what I saw

#

That means it should be the rgb connector

obtuse pendant
#

k thanks

#

you have saved my pc from being in a state of neglect

smoky breach

yeah this would be perfect for 1440p, prob 4K too, if you want to shave off some money go for a Ryzen 7 5800X

noble oak
#

the 5800x has a better single thread performance and a much better price being its newer, you might have to update bios but for $180 less, its worth it

queen violet

Either go intel 12th gen

F6a released on some of the the aorus boards but not this one. If your bios version is f4 or f5a then there are issues with ram and PC crashing. Get the msi z690 a pro or something
