?

compact cove
#

most 2700x have issues hitting 4.2, meanwhile most 9700k/9900k can easily hit 5ghz

agile ermine
#

???

#

what are you talking about

compact cove
#

you said ryzen has higher overclocks

agile ermine
#

I was talking about your own example

compact cove
#

then how is 3.9 higher than 4.5?

agile ermine
#

...

#

im talking about the percentage of improvement

compact cove
#

since i was talking about single core scores

#

most i managed to get on my 2600 is 4050mhz which is 150mhz over turbo

#

my husband managed to reach 4700mhz on his 6700k which is 500mhz over turbo

agile ermine
#

max turbo doesn't count, as its not applied on all cores

compact cove
#

🤦

#

most chips within the last 4-5 years can do all core oc on all cores

agile ermine
#

yeah, and?

compact cove
#

so how is the percentage of improvement higher on ryzen when it can barely go beyond its rated turbo clock?

#

you see what im trying to say?

agile ermine
#

because you have to take the base clocks, and not the turbo clocks, as its not applied on all cores

#

yeah, but thats not how it works

compact cove
#

you dont care about turbo clock when you oc....

agile ermine
#

because you also have to think about power draw limitations, thermal limitations... and all the cores might not be equal

compact cove
#

turbo clock is a point of reference as to how much its 'safe' to oc

wide temple
#

Clock speed doesn't matter lol, you can't use that as a comparison

#

Reason why Intel chips have such high clock speeds is because that's the only way for them to gain higher performance

#

Either way, I'll be looking forward to the benches, as I'm pretty sure the AMD chips will be better value and will also be better for games as they move to using multiple cores

#

Also not forgetting that Sony are using AMD for the next generation Playstation, and those improvements can be had on PC games as well due to them using the same architecture

agile ermine
#

ryzen will probably keep their great price/perfs ratio, but only if you use x470 mobos... the new x570 ones are expensive af

compact cove
#

mobo prices already leaked here on a few store websites

#

strix x570-f is about 40% more expensive than strix x470-f

#

3800x seems to be around 400 euros (19% vat included)

agile ermine
#

I've got a website that already lists the 5 ryzen coming out on sunday

#

and x570 mobos aren't expected to cost less than 200€ in France

#

470€ for the ryzen 7 3800X, 20% VAT included... but the seller usually makes bigger margins than average, so it should cost 450 or 460€

dire oasis
#

Anyway, i wanna get the Energy Star logo, my childhood about waiting this logo for playing cs 1.5 and gta vice city :D Good old days...

hasty nova
#

Guys when I get my cpu, should I buy one of them anti static straps ?

spiral yew
#

yea that would be a good idea

#

and wear shoes with rubber soles if your on carpet and use a plastic table

willow rain
agile ermine
#

Thats 50$ off for each card, right?

#

Interesting...

hasty nova
#

@spiral yew what about a wooden table

unkempt swan
#

It is a shitty line-up, i think everyone knew it from the start

real gulch
#

^^^^^

unkempt swan
#

I mean, almost everyone

hasty nova
#

What do you mean ?

real gulch
#

Ping

#

Pingu

#

You bought a second hand CPU directly from intel?

#

They don’t do that? Nani?

hasty nova
#

I'm confused now

#

What do you mean shity line up ?

real gulch
#

Bad lineup of GPU’s from AMD

hasty nova
#

Ohhhh

real gulch
#

Bad product line

unkempt swan
#

AMD's Navi

hasty nova
#

I thought you were talking about me

real gulch
#

lol no

unkempt swan
#

Negative

#

Anyway, i don't advice using second hand GPU with such temps

hasty nova
#

Anyway, my old cpu was a Pentium G4560

#

No I'm not

#

Idle, its ok

#

When it comes to games

real gulch
#

Especially since it was bought 3rd party

hasty nova
#

The cpu temp rockets

#

To 80- 85

real gulch
#

85 is the limit for intel

#

They automatically slow down performance after that

#

It’s intel technology

hasty nova
#

Well, when I get a better cooler that temp should stay down to 60

real gulch
#

Or so you hope

hasty nova
#

Its wierd

#

Becusse my old cpu never got that hot

#

Only with this one it reached 80 degrees

real gulch
#

Probably because of performance increase

hasty nova
#

I dont think I did anything wrong with putting thermal paste

wide temple
#

It shouldn't be running that hot at all

#

Check with CPU-Z to make sure you weren't sold a fake

agile ermine
#

whats the cooler you're actually using pingu?

real gulch
#

He could’ve just optimised it weirdly @wide temple

#

@gritty fjord You ready for the British GP next week?

hasty nova
#

@agile ermine standard stock CPU cooler

#

@wide temple how do I know if I've been sold a fake?

agile ermine
#

@hasty nova if you're using the stock intel cooler it explains why you're running at 80°C

#

intel cooler is garbage

wide temple
#

shouldn't be running that hot on a non-OC processor though

#

download CPU-Z

hasty nova
#

Yea but the thing is with my old Pentium G4560 I could run GTA V and I would never get those temps or that roar from the cpu cooler I'm hearing with the new cpu

agile ermine
#

because thats a pentium...

wide temple
#

The stock cooler is LOUD, its just that it never had to cool as hard before

#

What thermal paste did you use?

hasty nova
#

Its called hainziye

wide temple
#

Oh... that looks really cheap

#

Buy something decent like Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut

hasty nova
#

But that doesn't make any sense that a 2 core cpu runs better than a 4 core i5 ?

wide temple
#

What do you mean by runs better?

hasty nova
#

The temps were much lower

wide temple
#

Think about it logically, the new CPU you have has more processing power, therefore it'll generate more heat

#

The cooler you have can also only cool to its thermal limit

hasty nova
#

I'm thinking about taking it apart again and re apply the paste

#

Ok I'm going to open up cpu z

#

Well...

#

It's not a fake

#

Looks like I need a new cpu cooler then

#

Shame, I really want to get into some games, but if the cpu cooler is on the rev line on the Menu screen of Squad then I dont think it's a good idea to take it into a full game

wide temple
#

I honestly think that it's not the cooler but the thermal paste you're using

#

You have an non overclockable processor and you're hitting such high temps

#

Bearing in mind that this is the same cooler Intel shipped with retail units of the CPU you have

#

Buy some Kyronaut or MX4, its super cheap (less than £5)

hasty nova
#

Do you think it could be thermal paste ?

#

I mean on idle the temps are fine

wide temple
#

Changing the thermal paste is one of the cheapest things you can try before splurging on a new cooler

hasty nova
#

Only gaming is when it starts to suffer

wide temple
#

It's also handy to have some thermal paste on hand

hasty nova
#

Any shops that sell thermal paste ?

wide temple
#

Uhhh not unless you have any retailers near you that sell computer parts 👀

hasty nova
#

Nah

#

Oh well looks like amazon

agile ermine
#

for me, cooler is still a part of the problem... temps could easily be lowered, even with a low end after market cooler

hasty nova
#

I'm gonna try and re apply the thermal paste maybe its that i didnt put enough

agile ermine
#

and you can easily find thermal paste on the internet, there a re lots of specialized websites

hasty nova
#

Yea but I want it today

agile ermine
#

maybe... how much did you put?

hasty nova
#

A small rice grain sized drop in the middle

agile ermine
#

that should have been fine...

#

maybe try to apply a thin layer on all the cpu...

hasty nova
#

Yea I'm gonna try again

#

See if re application works

#

How do I clean off thermal paste

agile ermine
#

seems that you need isopropyl alcohol

hasty nova
#

Was that amount good enough or more needed ?

#

Is this good amount ?

agile ermine
#

wow

#

I think I understand now why your cpu was overheating

#

the paste is supposed to spread on all the surface of the cpu

#

which wasn't the case

hasty nova
#

Ok

#

I put a little more on this fine

#

Time

#

Let's see how it goes

agile ermine
#

wait

#

did you cleaned the cooler too?

hasty nova
#

Yes

agile ermine
#

maybe try to make a cross on the cpu with the paste

hasty nova
#

Alright power ON

#

Omg help

#

I turned the computer on

#

And the fan went to hyper speed

#

Ok its calmed down now

compact cove
#

fans always start up at 100% then take a chill pill once the bios (or OS) loads

hasty nova
#

Oh thank god

#

That's scared the f outta me

#

I thought I was bout to experience a cpu fan blow up in my own case

#

Ok

#

Let's see

compact cove
#

ive never see a pc fan blow up

#

would be interesting to watch 🤔

#

puts a Note 7 in the case

agile ermine
#

it can blow up, but you need to seriously overvolt it... which can't happen if it's plugged on the motherboard

hasty nova
#

Bout to load up squad

compact cove
#

remember when all case fans where molex? good gawd

agile ermine
#

and it doesn't blow up in a big explosion, it will only stop spinning and make a bit of smoke

hasty nova
#

crosses fingers

compact cove
#

or the bearings brake and make such an annoyin noise that you change them directly lmao

hasty nova
#

Its wirring up again

#

😖

compact cove
agile ermine
#

😂

compact cove
#

microshaft

hasty nova
#

What was the maximum safe temp ?

agile ermine
#

temps are fine if they stay under 70°C

compact cove
#

for intel 70-80 is max

hasty nova
#

85 !

#

Again

#

Wtf

#

90 !

compact cove
#

what program are you using to see temps?

hasty nova
#

Reeeee

#

No

#

No

#

No

agile ermine
#

so its probably the cooler

compact cove
#

get HWinfo to see actual temps...

hasty nova
#

I wish you could hear this thing roar

compact cove
#

or aida64

hasty nova
#

Ok

agile ermine
#

ew... yeah, but don't accidentally run the aida64 stress test, things could go wrong 😅

compact cove
hasty nova
#

Theres no way I'm gaming today until the new cooler comes in

wide temple
#

The thermal paste you have is absolute crap

#

The fact that it didn't even spread properly says it all thisisfine

hasty nova
compact cove
#

motherboard 111? what?!

#

you might have a broken temp sensor on your mobo....

agile ermine
#

ew

#

hope so

compact cove
#

fyi, those are not fixable

#

can you use the snipping tool or the print screen button tho?

hasty nova
#

Hold up let me get better pic

compact cove
#

cant see much since the flash is in the middle of the pic....

hasty nova
wide temple
#

It's probably just AIDA64 reading a sensor value incorrectly, it happens

#

I've seen some sensors read as -100c before

hasty nova
#

Those temps look good or no ?

compact cove
#

vrm temp on an asrock b450 read 160 C as stable before the bios update

#

@hasty nova might want to try reinstalling the mobo driver or updating the mobo bios

#

cpu temps are fine

hasty nova
#

Why ?

compact cove
#

broken mobo temp might also be a driver/bios issue

hasty nova
#

Chassis intrusion detected ?

#

Hold up

compact cove
#

your case is open

hasty nova
#

No

compact cove
#

disable that feature in the bios next time you go there

#

its pointless

hasty nova
#

I've only been in the bios once

#

Idk what I'm doing in there

compact cove
#

oof

hasty nova
#

I just discard changes and leave

#

To scary man

compact cove
#

then its best to stay away from the bios then

wide temple
#

Chassis Intrusion is something you can safely ignore

hasty nova
#

I want to run squad and capture the temps when it's in the menu

wide temple
#

Use MSI Afterburner with RTSS on

hasty nova
#

That's what I was using befor

#

What's the RTSS ?

wide temple
#

RivaTuner Statistics Server

compact cove
#

RivaTuner Statistics

wide temple
#

It'a a separate download that works with Afterburner

hasty nova
#

Oh

compact cove
#

was gonna recommend Kombustor too, then i remembered he took a screenie with his phone......

hasty nova
#

Ay listen

#

I run anything on this pc, the fan roars again

compact cove
#

intel stock fans are only useful on pentiums and i3

hasty nova
#

I've never ever heard a fan roar like that , scared the f outta of me

#

Yea I'm getting aftermarket fan and a some better paste

#

That is sure to bring the temp down

agile ermine
#

you don't even need an expensive cooler

compact cove
#

hyper 212 evo is the best performance/money fan you can get

wide temple
#

If you want a decent cheap air cooler, have a look at the Cryorig series

compact cove
#

its like 20 bucks

hasty nova
#

Yea

#

That's the one I was looking at

wide temple
#

The 212 EVO is an absolute nightmare to install though, bear that in mind

agile ermine
#

be quiet pure rock slim are cheap too, similar to the hyper 212

compact cove
#

or a deepcool gammaxx gte if you want some bling

hasty nova
#

But I dont want to have to take the motherboard out the case

compact cove
#

does your case have a motherboard cutout ?

hasty nova
#

Errrr

#

🤔

compact cove
#

sec, lemme show you what i mean

wide temple
#

*Case have a cutout

agile ermine
#

can you remove both side panels on your case?

hasty nova
#

I dont think so

wide temple
#

Not motherboard

#

Most coolers use an x-clamp to support the cooler

compact cove
#

read again Moh, i said it right

wide temple
#

Oh 😅

hasty nova
#

I can only take off the glass front

wide temple
#

What case is it?

compact cove
#

that big mole in the middle, thats a motherboard cutout

#

so you can mount a cooler backplate without taking the mobo out

hasty nova
#

No

compact cove
#

then you will most likely have to take the mobo out

hasty nova
compact cove
#

most aftermarket coolers use proprietary mounting systems

hasty nova
#

That's the other side

wide temple
#

what am I looking at

compact cove
#

im confused as well

#

is that the back panel?

agile ermine
#

can't see anything

hasty nova
compact cove
#

yep, that panel can be taken off

hasty nova
#

O.o

#

How ?

#

Is thier likens secret button

compact cove
hasty nova
#

Omg guys !!!

compact cove
#

screws at the back of the case

hasty nova
#

Screams are at the back

#

Screws*

compact cove
#

screams are at the back indeed xD

agile ermine
#

😂

hasty nova
#

I'm gonna take it off

#

I wanan see the back

#

🙂

compact cove
#

thats what she said

wide temple
#

Such a pingu thing to do

hasty nova
#

I took the screws out

#

But it's not coming off

agile ermine
#

slide it

compact cove
#

slide the panel towards the back

hasty nova
#

Where from

#

Theres no handle

compact cove
#

put your hand in the middle of it

#

and push it backwards

hasty nova
#

Theres a handle !!!

#

At the back omg !

compact cove
#

^ imagine all of this without context, like..... OOF

agile ermine
hasty nova
#

YAS

#

Haha

#

Open sesame

#

Omg guys !!

compact cove
#

there you go, mobo cutout

hasty nova
#

I made a mistake

#

A huge f**** mistake

agile ermine
#

?

hasty nova
#

Look

compact cove
#

and?

hasty nova
#

There should be 4 pins coming out the back

#

Theres only 3

#

For the cpu cooler

compact cove
#

if you didnt clamp the cooler down properly

agile ermine
#

yeah, not great... 2 or 4 works, but not 3

compact cove
#

imma die laughing

hasty nova
#

Wtf

#

Wheres the bloody 4th one

compact cove
#

incomplete cooler

agile ermine
#

look at the back kappa

compact cove
#

^ oof

hasty nova
#

I was so concerned with pushing it down to hard

#

It didnt even go in

#

Tf is this intel !!!

compact cove
#

context pls

agile ermine
#

rofl

hasty nova
#

Here we go again

#

Let me make sure this 4th pin is in

compact cove

hasty nova
#

Its stuck in the hole

#

It's not come all the way out

#

Help

marble forge
#

You need a paramedic?

compact cove
#

Pingu, did you turn it off first?

agile ermine
#

wrong hole? 😏

compact cove
#

^ oof

#

unlock the 'screw' thats opposite to that one and then try putting that one in

wide temple
hasty nova
#

Its not going in ?

compact cove
#

is the plastic busted?

hasty nova
#

No

#

Wait

#

Should I turn the screw

#

Towards the arrow

compact cove
#

unlock it, push it in, turn it while its in

hasty nova
#

It made the clicking sound

#

But it hasn't come through the hole

compact cove
#

if its not in the hole you didnt push it hard enough before locking it in

#

did you unlock the opposite one like i told you?

hasty nova
#

Opposite

#

Ohhhh

#

Damn

compact cove
#

X pattern

#

opposite

hasty nova
#

Ok

#

Unlocked

compact cove
#

1 2
3 4

hasty nova
#

Now what?

compact cove
#

you screw them in 1 > 4 > 2 > 3

hasty nova
#

But the thermal paste ?

compact cove
#

is it spread across the whole cpu?

hasty nova
#

Yes

compact cove
#

leave it be then

hasty nova
#

I'm scared

#

Im gonna snap the mobo

compact cove
#

🤦

hasty nova
#

So anti clockwise for pullout ?

#

And clockwise for put in ?

compact cove
#

i dont remember how the scews look like exacly

#

but its easy to tell when its unlocked cuz you can pull on it

hasty nova
compact cove
#

anticlockwise to unlock, i think

hasty nova
#

It's still not coming through

compact cove
#

intel stock cooler is shit

Maybe you are not screwing good ebough and there is not enough contact

hasty nova
#

I'm leaving it until I get the new cooler

#

The screw didnt in all way

compact cove
#

get your screwdriver ready for a new cooler

hasty nova
#

Yea I sorry

#

I went toilet

#

And the door wouldn't open

#

Stuck in toilet for like 20 mins

#

Anyway, yes I put the covers back on and I purchased the new cooler with better paste

agile ermine
#

... how?

compact cove
#

do not question Pingu

wide temple
#

He's the person who used the same chopping board to cut vegetables with raw meat LULW

agile ermine

guess that let you enough time to get your screwdriver ready...

mighty vine
#

What do you guys reccomend to remove Paste from a cpu?

compact cove
#

if its a 'what you have around' scenario, either a regular paper tissue (dry) or a cotton cloth + medicinal alcohol

gritty wagon
#

Vodka works, too.
Jk, Idon'treallyknowpleasedon'ttryit

unkempt swan
#

isopropyl alcohol

compact cove
#

ive seen watercooling loops with vodka, it wouldnt surprise me

mighty vine
#

Ok but what if it's like hard?

compact cove
#

dont take it out of the socket while youre cleaning it

#

its pretty safe to apply pressure on the IHS to just 'rub' the paste off

mighty vine
#

Thanks

hasty nova
#

Yea the door.jammed

#

I went toilet, locked the door with those twist knob things

#

Went to unlock it but it wouldn't twist

#

And I left my phone in the other room

So I jumped out the window walked on top of the conservatory, and climbed back through my bedroom window

#

welcome to the 3900X club Moh 😛

wide temple
#

3900X? 😅

#

That's too expensive for me

compact cove
#

as expensive as a 9900k

wide temple
#

I'm looking at the 3700X

compact cove
#

we were undecided between 3800X and 3900X but it looks like we are going for 3900X

#

most likely on an asrock x470 taichi ultimate

wide temple
#

I'd consider it but in terms of value it seems a lot more expensive for p/p

#

i.e. the performance delta isn't that significant when you consider the extra cost

compact cove
#

for gaming even a 3600X will be more than enough

wide temple
#

true, but I want 8c/16t

#

would be a huge upgrade for me from my measly 4c/4t

compact cove
#

our main rig is a 6700k atm, so 4c/8t

#

my 'console' is a 2600, 6c/12t

#

the leap from the 6700k to the 3900X will be insane 😹

wide temple
#

4690K here 😅

compact cove
#

oof, time to upgrade

You joke but if I have a twitch stream in the background, if often stops responding after a while unless I tab into it

let me show you how many tabs are currently active on this 6700k

#

about that many

wide temple
#

I'm no better, except mine are split across 4 windows lol

agile ermine
#

new ryzen performs really good... and it could be even better with some software optimisation

compact cove
#

my 2600 already improved a lot in the last 6 months just from bios updates, im expecting ryzen 3000 to follow the same path

agile ermine
#

but again, it doesn't seems like they can be pushed very high with an overclock

compact cove
#

if a stock 3600 can beat an oc 9700k in multithreaded workloads, well then..... guess whos winning now

agile ermine
#

plus, the 9700k costs nearly double the price of the ryzen...

@wide temple no idea whos cat is that black cat, but its not Snowflake 😰

#

Yes

Does your motherboard support the PCI version it needs?

mighty vine
#

Yyes

hasty nova
#

I use USB wifi

mighty vine
#

It fits perfectly

hasty nova
#

Hmm

#

Short circuit ?

#

Maybe one of the pins is bent ?

mighty vine
#

@hasty nova It is good but my pc probably has a too weak PSU to sustain it

hasty nova
#

Increase it

#

If you can

#

Is thier not a way for you to overclock your PSU 🤔 🤔

mighty vine
#

It isn't bent or anything but I went into my BIOS and enabled Plug and Play or whatever it's called and my PC still worked but the card didin't

#

Or it's fried or broken

#

Overclocking a PSU smh

#

It would be good i think

#

but not at the same time

hasty nova
#

I overclocked my audio so everytime I pressed the ON button, an ear rape version of the windows login played

The problem with my USB Wifi is that if I download a large file via Steam lets say. It will download for 1.2 GB good, depends but then It will litterly turn off

the wifi card is probably defective then... when you plug in it, the pc should start properly and the card should automatically be detected...

Unless the PCI slot is dead.

did you tried to use another pci-e slot frenzy?

mighty vine

No

then start by doing that, it could tell you if thats the motherboard or the card that has issues

Torn between going for a cheaper motherboard vs. having 2 M.2 slots. Also torn between going for the 3600 vs 3700x

pseudo comet

uhm wait what

sinful monolith
#

how much cheaper is 3600?

wide temple
#

Significantly

pastel lodge

Moh

agile ermine
#

u don't really need 2 M:2 slots, right?

pastel lodge
#

2 m.2 ain't worth

#

Just buy a full sized ssd

wide temple
#

£190 vs £320

pastel lodge
#

With one m.2

sinful monolith
#

that warning at the bottom though monkaS

agile ermine
#

3700X is something like 50 or 60% more expensive than 3600

wide temple
#

Yeah I know, I'll buy it with the BIOS updated (a local retailer offers that service)

agile ermine
#

overclocks better tho

wide temple
#

That's the thing, last time I built a PC, I opted to get the 4690K vs i7 4790K

pastel lodge
wide temple
#

Regretted it a few years later when I wanted the extra cores

pastel lodge
#

Why didn't u upgrade it lataer

wide temple
#

It wasn't cost effective to do so

sinful monolith
#

seems to be about 25% perf increase between 3600 and 3700X

wide temple
#

In terms of gaming, the differences are a lot less

#

For productivity the gains are significant

agile ermine
#

more futureproof too

sinful monolith
#

possibly

wide temple
#

If I do go with building a new PC, I'll be keeping it for 5 years at an absolute minimum

sinful monolith
#

the amount of background processing isn't going to go up by much (I think), but games might become better at utilizing multiple cores with both Intel and AMD pushing for higher core counts for consumer CPUs

unkempt swan
#

Why do you even need 2 m.2 slots? If you planning to get nvme m.2 ssds - they are useless, unless you are transferring A LOT of data daily (photographer etc)

wide temple
#

Mini ITX build

sinful monolith
#

they can improve load times in some games

#

If I was going for an ATX build, I wouldn't need to worry about extra M2 slots

unkempt swan
#

Nvme ssds? Yes, 1-2 seconds for the price you add up

wide temple
#

But I'm tired of having an obscenely large and heavy PC taking up so much space (currently have a Fractal R4)

unkempt swan
#

Non-nvme ssd is enough for average user

sinful monolith
#

run 2 nvme SSDs in RAID0 for boot drive Kapp

wide temple
#

I can get a 2TB WD Blue for the same price (both M.2 and SATA)

#

Doesn't make a difference

sinful monolith
#

barely anything about that build screams "average user"

unkempt swan
#

I am just kidding

wide temple
#

I could keep my existing PC for another year, but honestly, I'm getting tired of it and I'm growing old

unkempt swan
wide temple
#

I'd rather have stuff that works properly all the time rather than having to deal with X and Y

#

I'm kinda feeling the same about my i7-7700K-based build

#

wot, yours isn't even that old?

wide temple
#

2014 PepeLaugh

sinful monolith
#

the one I had before that was 2010

#

tbh I just want RTX Kapp

wide temple
#

Also that build doesn't include an AIO, which I'll need for an ITX...

unkempt swan
#

2080 here :d

sinful monolith
#

got 2080 in my laptop, 1080 Ti in the build I was talking about

#

I'd lean towards the 3700X though, if you have the money to spare

#

gives more options later and likely more future-proof

wide temple
#

I plan to keep the 1070, cos I ain't paying £1000 for a top of the line GPU (2080Ti) when the 1080 Ti was almost half the price. You don't even get double the performance of a 1080 Ti so what's the point?

sinful monolith
#

the 10-series is still plenty good enough for most use-cases

unkempt swan
#

Getting 1080ti with transferrable warranty is a fairly good idea

sinful monolith
#

the reasons to upgrade would be better NVENC quality and DXR

#

the visual quality lands somewhere between x264 fast and medium, which makes it excellent for streaming

wide temple
#

Neither of which I care about tbh lol

unkempt swan
#

There is also an other philosophy: buying beefy CPU and then upper midrage GPU every N years

sinful monolith
#

GPU is a lot easier to upgrade

#

CPU requires a new mobo too often

unkempt swan
#

True, that's why you go for the best avaliable CPU you can offer

You're not making this easy for me Kappa

The power requirement of the i9 is ridiculous

So I'm stuck between two choices, either go all out and go 3700X, or save a ton of money and go 3600. I can also save some money on a motherboard as I can get a cheaper one with cheaper VRMs and power phases

the most powerful is the FX-9590

but I think its pretty rare and you need an insane motherboard and cooler to run it

otherwise, you can find some new FX-8370

i know those are there

so ucant just open it and damage the rest of the case without removing the plate

the panel should just slide

the front fan or rear fan

its front

i only have a front fan

that pic is the rear

how does your case only have a front fan and no rear fan

its only ever gone over 60/65 under load like 3 times

oh you're trying to replace the front fan?

yes

it seems unbalanced

once fan rpms goes up

it vibrates every so often

when it goes up with rpm a bit to cool

the front panel should just pop off

Hey,

My Thrustmaster TX has a very annoying problem when steering precisely. There are small steps and i am not really able to keep the angle of the wheel between those steps.

See GIF: https://gfycat.com/jauntysmoggydromedary

The problem only appears when the wheel is plugged in so i guess it is caused by the FFB engine. I have lubrucated it a bit but theres still no difference.

As of my situation right now i wanted to know if any of you out there also have a TX/T300 or anything similar and also have this problem. I found a replacement unit for the FFB engine but that one costs 60$ and i would like to know your experience and wether the new engine could fix my problem.

The wheel has no warranty anymore.

Thanks for your help!

Yea, I didn't think they were real but who knows XD. I don't like mixing and matching ram tho

compact cove

you can mix and match as long as all the sticks are the same type (ddr3, ddr4 etc), are the same capacity and have the same latency and timings

mighty vine

And voltage

compact cove

voltage is usually standardized

marble forge

They don't need to be the same capacity afaik

no but its much harder to find matching timings on different capacity sticks

don't use DDR3 with DDR4 unless you want to destroy your mobo

also if the ram sticks don't snap in the first time make sure you them facing the correct direction

DDR4 and DDR3 are not even compatible - slots keyed differently ]

@spiral yew theyre Both ddr4

Oh rip, someone just bought it... That was way to fast. Guess I priced it wrong

yea that's normal capri unless your motherboard/cpu supports XMP profiles

That's the true clock speed Capri

2666/2 = 1333

@pastel lodge you didn't buy 2666 Mhz ram did you?

I did

That's what i got in my system now too

2 8GB 1333 equals 2666 mhz

Its what i got in my pc now anyways

So they should work together so i have 24 GB of ram

2 8GB 2666Mhz equals 3222 Mhz

#

My friend said if i get higher MHz ram with this cpu

That the ram would be limited on its full true power

That depends on what RAM speeds your motherboard is rated at

First gen Ryzen is picky about memory anyway

pastel lodge
#

This is my current stuff in the pc @wide temple

Your RAM is running at 2666Mhz then

#

but wouldn't it say 8x2?

pastel lodge
#

I dont have those yet

#

Right now is 2x4

DDR = double data rate, to calculate the true speed, you have to multiple it by a factor of 2

I should get my new ram saturday HYPERPOG

@placid dragon what's your gpu?

You'd also need a new motherboard

Oh yea, ofc. Cos the motherboard would be DDR4 whereas the older I7 use DDR3 right?

You don't need to reinstall windows if you replace your cpu, but you will probably have to uninstall some drivers later

But if you replace your motherboard, you might have to reactivate windows

Actually you'd be surprised that there is no bottle neck on the RTX 2080 Ti with the i7 4790 or a very minor one which isn't noticeable
