Like a real noob

#

okay so I looked it up

#

amps are for when your pc doesnt have a headphone jack, or when it doesn't have the power to run your headphones at a certain volume

#

I've been using HyperX headsets for my whole life lmao

#

DACs make it sound better

#

amps are just the prerequisite

#

I don't need a AMP for a wireless headset do I?

#

Nvm that's the dumbest question ever

#

bruh

#

lmfao

#

a dac makes the audio sound more true to its original file

#

think of how a monitor renders color

#

But this one is good, I trust it

#

I mean it costs 400$

#

think of how a monitor renders color
@acoustic trout Oooh alright

#

thats a bit much for a wireless headset lmao

#

yeah a dac will make the sound more accurate

#

I mean not really, for a sennheiser headset

stark forge
#

My buddy always has issues with modern warfare /discord delaying the mic with that headset.

acoustic trout
#

yeah wireless headsets are iffy

#

THAT headset???

#

one time my nari spazzed out but it fixed itself

#

Nah... I refuse to believe

stark forge
#

Personally id split it. Spend $200/250 on a normal headset and the rest on a quality mic

acoustic trout
#

if you're not like

#

streaming and just using a mic for games

#

its good to just get a cheap mic

#

like uhuru

#

and then put the rest towards headphones

#

I might just stick with my Cloud II's and get a Blue Snowball

#

And get a nice custom keyboard

stark forge
#

Its true he got tired of it and bought the elgato wave 3 to replace the mic on the senhisers

acoustic trout

Check out the new bose qc 35 gaming

acoustic trout
#

They don't ship it to Brazil

#

:c

#

do you like pink @acoustic trout

#

I do, but my setup is all white xd

#

this set is running right now

#

KBDFans?

#

#

z frontier is the chinese proxy

#

The rubber smell from my mousepad is pissing me off

#

lmao

#

im getting it its really good value

#

Ships in 3020?

#

they give you free latin alphas

#

september of next year, jtk is very very backlogged

#

I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG

#

lmaooo

#

Ok screw it I'm getting Hyperx pudding keycaps

#

Modern problems require modern solutions

acoustic trout
#

Anyone know any solutions on fixing fps dropping. My laptop (which is very low end one) can run valorant fot around 130 fps with minimum settings, but the fps keeps dropping mid game to pretty much 10-15 for a few seconds, and then going back up again.

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout due to a lack of ram, if it isn’t soldered try upgrading. If it is soldered then nothing you can do ¯_(ツ)_/¯

feral stag
#

hi

#

Im not up late

wise lava
#

I actually looked through CPUs and the 3200g is the best price for hardware, so just disable the APU in BIOs

#

Anything else is more money for less

acoustic trout
#

Nice

#

This is really good

wise lava
#

Also, shop around. I know for a fact you can find Windows keys for cheaper

acoustic trout
#

"So just disable APU in BIOS"

#

What does that mean?

wise lava
#

Bios is the software that comes with the motherboard

#

It kinda is the backbone of the system, as even Windows has to have a bios in order to run

#

To disable it just look up "disable APU on (your mobo)"

acoustic trout
#

Oh nice

#

Thank you so much

chilly ibex
#

I would throw a cheap ssd in there

acoustic trout
#

Ssd?

chilly ibex
#

Solid state drive

acoustic trout
#

Sorry im kinda new to this pc building thing

#

And parts

chilly ibex
#

no worries I would pick a cheap ssd 120gb is probably good to use as the boot drive

#

And use the 1tb as a secondary drive for games/ other things

acoustic trout
#

Ok nice

chilly ibex
#

But boot times and general usability will be way way faster on an ssd

acoustic trout
#

But what do you mean by boot drive

wise lava
chilly ibex
#

A C drive. C drive is the default label for the main drive of the computer

#

It's where windows is actually installed

#

And is ran off of

#

Also if you can I would honestly try to save 50$ and swap that cpu out for a ryzen 2600 at least

wise lava
#

If you want to, you can go for a 500GB ssd, as its more than you'll ever need for gaming, (its what I did) I've had my PC a year, and I still have about 120 gigs left

acoustic trout
#

I wont do it for major gaming

#

Just a few retro games and stuff like csgo

#

And possibly roblox

wise lava
#

I mean, in that case, you could even go for the 3400g

#

Skip out on a gpu

acoustic trout
#

So whats the difference between a gpu and a cpu?

wise lava
#

But, I'd you think you'll play any game with more intensive graphics, get a dedicated gpu

#

OK so, there's 3 different terms

#

Dedicated GPU
CPU
and APU

#

A (dedicated) GPU is an external card that you can see plugs into your motherboard.

#

GPU just stands for graphics processing unit

#

CPU stands for central processing unit it is the "brain" of your PC

autumn needle
#

is there any way to disable the anti double click firmwear for the death adder elite?

wise lava
#

APU (amd chips) or I-GPU (Intel chips) means that the graphics processing unit (GPU) of your PC is actually inside of the CPU, which means you don't need a dedicated GPU on your motherboard

acoustic trout
#

Thank you professor for opening my eyes

wise lava
#

But, when you get an APU, it will not perform as well as a Dedicated GPU, but you cut on a lot of cost

acoustic trout
#

Oh

wise lava
#

So when I say "if you're just playing lower end games" that's why

#

If you want to play any other game, like fortnite, or Minecraft with shaders, or etc, get a dedicated GPU

acoustic trout
#

So is a apu just a cpu with gpu traits but kind bad

stark forge
#

Id get the rx 580 over the 1050

wise lava
#

So is a apu just a cpu with apu traits but kind bad
Yeah, except I'm assuming you meant "with GPU traits"

acoustic trout
#

Yeah i did

#

Nice im learning

wise lava
#

What really helped me get into PCs a long while back, was just watching videos about it

stark forge
acoustic trout
#

Looks like a good deal

#

To bad i cant get it

stark forge
#

Its a solid procesor. Save up for it

wise lava
#

I was an idiot when I built my PC, and now I'm paying the price. I have a 3400g, with an rtx 2070s

#

e.e big rip

chilly ibex
#

what the

acoustic trout
#

Also this might be a concern

#

Pc and carpet

wise lava
#

Cardboard, wooden board, plywood, anything to put under it

acoustic trout
#

Should i just place the pc on a desk?

#

Oh ok nice!

stark forge
#

You can do that

wise lava
#

If you have the space u can do that as well

#

Yeah, my old self needed a budget PC for workstation and light gaming

#

My new self said: screw the CPU I want a 2070

#

So, I'm thinking about those niiice ryzen 5000 series

acoustic trout
chilly ibex
#

its worth it honestly

#

even if you are not going to play many games for now

#

it'll "future proof" you

stark forge
#

You can get a key for win 10 for cheaper. Like $10-20 you should use a cheaper casee . Maybe a bigger power supply

acoustic trout
#

Oh ok

#

But the problem is i dont have a cpu cooler

chilly ibex
#

3600 comes with one

#

If I remember correctly

acoustic trout
#

And i kinda need to keep the "gpu" cool right?

chilly ibex
#

The gpu already has its own coolers

#

The cpu also comes with a cooler

#

let me double check but i'm pretty sure

acoustic trout
#

Wait what

#

Thats awesome

chilly ibex
#

Yes it does

#

Almost all Ryzen processors do

acoustic trout
#

Nice

#

So where is the cooler?

chilly ibex
#

In the box with the CPU

acoustic trout
#

Nice

#

You can get a key for win 10 for cheaper. Like $10-20 you should use a cheaper casee . Maybe a bigger power supply
@stark forge where can i find the key?

stark forge
#

G2A or ebay

acoustic trout
#

Ok cool

#

So about the graphics card

#

I dont really want it to intefer with the gpu

chilly ibex
#

The graphics card is the GPU

#

CPU is the ryzen chip

acoustic trout
#

Hold up what

chilly ibex
#

CPU is the Ryzen processor

acoustic trout
#

So

chilly ibex
#

The GTX is the GPU

#

Or Graphics card

#

GPU is technically the Graphics card's processing unit but eh

acoustic trout
#

Or video card

chilly ibex
#

Yeah

#

that works too

acoustic trout
#

Lemme finish my build and show you

acoustic trout
#

So i dont even need the video card?

stark forge
#

you should get a graphics card and id spend a little more to get a modular psu, maybe get the Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive for only 10 more bucks, id boot off an m.2 personally like the crucial p2

acoustic trout
#

You lost me.

chilly ibex
#

Only Ryzen G processors have intergrated graphics

#

So the 3600 will need a graphics card

#

and its best if you do get one

acoustic trout
#

Oh

#

Ok cool

#

Would you do some editing on this?

chilly ibex
#

Zach has a pretty perfect build up above

acoustic trout
#

Like what are your opinons?

chilly ibex
#

You wont do much better than what they did

#

I would not get a G procesor

#

go for the 3600

acoustic trout
#

This dude is really helpful

stark forge
#

ill tell you from experince integrated graphics are poop! unless your trying to play web based games that support flash then by all means use an integrated gpu. but if you want to play with smoother frames then spend the money on a 1660 or something with a little more power. the integrated graphics wont allow you to take advantage of that 144hz monitor bud.

#

if it means anything you can always find a decent prebuilt for around 800-900 that you can slowly upgrade down the line. yes we frown upon prebuilts but it allows you to tinker with something, without worrying about needing to get something like a win 10 key, or other things

@stark forge. This is extremely helpful

#

Which is better?

stark forge
#

im assuming your a student, the best bet if you go the prebuilt route, right now most of the manufactures like dell, hp, and lenovo are having sale directly on there website. lets say you want hp omen model what ever. talk to there chat explain thta your a student and they may give you aditional discounts.

@stark forge ohhhhhh

stark forge
#

@acoustic trout honestly you'd be better with the ryzen 5 3600 over the 1600. its a newer processer and overall just a better processor. one of my good buddies i game with quite often uses a ryzen 5 3600. and gets good fps on modern warfare, forze horizion 4 and other games. so personally i can reccomend that proc

acoustic trout
#

Oh

#

Is there a way to turn off integrated graphics?

stark forge
chilly ibex
#

i haven't seen that either

stark forge
#

@acoustic trout tjhere really isnt a need to turn them off. so on my laptop for example i have the intel integrated graphics and the nvidia rtx 2060. i let the app choose which one it uses. ofcoiurse for games i use the nvidia but for web browsing and doing tasks like word processing the integrated do just fine

acoustic trout
#

Oh thats cool

#

I dont think i changed much.

stark forge
#

i honeslty think for a bit more the h510 by nzxt will give you more room to work with , then going with a atx motherboard instead of a micro atx motherboard. just gives you more wiggle room. but thats all up to you.

#

plus i'd rather a lower rated power supply like bronze, to get something like a fully modular power supply which will allow you to manage cables way better as you only plug in the cables you absolutley need. so less chance of a rats nest building up in the back of the case. but thats my two sense. also if you wait a little longer the rtx 30xx series cards will get cheaper on the used market which will allow you to get a more powerful graphics card for about the same money

#

also i must reccomend watching some youtube videos, so you can learn about all the parts of a pc and what to get and what you may want to avoid. youtubers like linus tech tips are quite helpful

acoustic trout
#

Thank you!

#

Also i kinda want a motherboard thats easy to work with

stark forge
#

a full atx one will give you more room to work with .

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout I’m sorry but that is not that great of a pc.

#

Get an a520m s2h instead of an a320

#

WD Green is a pretty trashy ssd

#

1050ti is dum just get an rx570 instead

#

Get an exhaust fan if you want to use that case

#

You are overpaying for that monitor, it’s a 144hz VA that is usually 145. I would recommend the ViewSonic XG2405 or an AOC 24g2 if you can find it

#

The airflow of that case is also pretty mediocre, but it’s on sale so ig it’s fine

#

Your cpu/gpu is also balanced terribly, a 3100 and a 2060 will perform much better in games

#

The case is kinda bad yes but that list focuses on best performance per dollar

lusty vine
#

dont do the a520
for that price, just go for a b450

strange glacier
#

A520 is better than b450 wdym

neon yarrow
strange glacier
#

@neon yarrow why not r3+2060?

neon yarrow
#

Dk

strange glacier
#

it has better perf for gaming

#

unless you are doing productivity work thats what i would recommend

#

the b550a pro is an extremely overkill mobo

#

the 1660S performs MUCH better than the 1660

#

those monitors are pretty smeary, get aoc 24g2 or viewsonix xg2405

neon yarrow
#

Wait I didn't put a 1660s?

#

I meant to put a 1660s

strange glacier
#

also that case is...expensive

#

get the blackshark v2x instead of the kraken x tbh

neon yarrow
#

Ik ik I've been told by many

#

get the blackshark v2x instead of the kraken x tbh
@strange glacier how much does it go for?

strange glacier
#

59.99

acoustic trout
#

I got my DA mini workingsnekisnek

strange glacier
#

poggies!!

chilly ibex
acoustic trout
#

It automaticakly put the polling rate back to 1000

#

But it showed as 125

acoustic trout
#

@strange glacier so about that link
Is that a good case?

#

Because i will add it

strange glacier
acoustic trout
#

Nah i need a good one.

#

My dad is gonna pay for some of it for my birthday.

harsh brook
#

I have a question

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout matx? get an nr400

#

great airflow for the price

#

atx is a bit more difficult cuz its a much more crowded market

#

awesome that you are going to get your pc! im building mine soon as well, ive been saving for almost a year now xD

acoustic trout
#

Nice!

#

Also whats some good software to get?

strange glacier
#

if you need to ask if you need it you dont need it

acoustic trout
#

I guess your right.

strange glacier
#

HWinfo64 is a good diagnostic tool tho

#

3D Mark Timespy is a pretty good cpu/gpu benchmark tool iirc

acoustic trout
#

Whats a good case for a starter like me?

#

Also i couldn't find a good graphics card,they where either a bit overpriced or just didn't have a price or available to me.

strange glacier
#

nr400 is relatively easy to work in

#

1660 super? yeah thats been hard to find recently, but the Asus phoenix single fan is fine, but its not the greatest

#

all of them work fine but im preferential to the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super WINDFORCE OC

acoustic trout
#

Ok thank you.

lusty vine
#

@strange glacier b450 boards have much better overclocking support
a520 is fine, but its awful for overclocking

strange glacier
#

there is no point to overclock zen 2 @lusty vine

acoustic trout
#

I kinda like it

strange glacier
#

overclocking decreases IPC performance

#

@acoustic trout the matx mobo would probably work better in an matx case but its a good case

acoustic trout
#

Ok thank you!

strange glacier
#

mb311 is a good matx case that also has rgb

acoustic trout
#

Im searching for it but cant find the "mobo".

strange glacier
#

a520m s2h? its kinda hard to find on pcpp yeah ill link it

acoustic trout
#

Thank you

acoustic trout
#

Also im looking for the matx mobo.

strange glacier
#

this is the matx mobo

#

mobo=motherboard sorry for any confusion that may have caused (:

smoky radish
#

Heya

strange glacier
#

hello

smoky radish
#

I feel like I'm molesting my 7 3800 and my rtx 2070 with my aerocool cylon case..

#

Should I be worried at all?

#

The airflow is poop

strange glacier
#

check hwinfo64

#

if your pc isnt over 80C on load then it should be fine

#

cries in laptop chassis and 97C in minecraft

charred ice

RIP Gear

acoustic trout
#

mobo=motherboard sorry for any confusion that may have caused (:
@strange glacier nah its fine i knew what mobo meant.

strange glacier
#

ah ok

smoky radish
#

I'm thinking of getting a new mainboard

#

Any suggestions?

#

Just ATX

strange glacier
#

b550 pro4

#

or b550a pro if you feel like you want to upgrade in the future

#

prooo gamingggg

charred ice
#

I want a mini ITX motherboard for my i7-3770K, when I upgrade to a Ryzen and Radeon

strange glacier
#

team red all the way

smoky radish
#

I just want one where I don't have to worry about doing manual bios updates as it bricked my friends pc (for the ryzen 3800)

#

Team red is hot

strange glacier
#

b550 pro4 and b550a pro support 3000 out of box @smoky radish

smoky radish
#

Fantastic

strange glacier
#

why did it brick their pc?

smoky radish
#

Thank you

#

Hm?

strange glacier
#

what mobo was it?

smoky radish
#

Because the bios update fucked up

#

B450

strange glacier
#

oof

charred ice
#

I'm going Ryzen 5th and Radeon RX 6800 XT

smoky radish
#

Very good

strange glacier
#

ryzen 4th is crushing intel but lacks value tbh

#

5000 series is the same as 4th gen and zen 3 very confusing lmao

smoky radish
#

I didn't check the prices of the new radeon gpus

strange glacier
#

579, something and something

smoky radish
#

Ye I have to sell more bread for that

charred ice
#

Radeon 6800 XT and Ryzen 5th gen will share memory with each other, which is a big thing in my eyes

#

I don't need NVENC

strange glacier
#

please call it 4th gen

#

5th gen isnt out yet

smoky radish
#

I am confused

charred ice
#

It's the 5XXX series, to me that's 5th gen

smoky radish
#

U mean 5 3600?

strange glacier
#

@charred ice not to amd's marketing department lmao

charred ice
#

No, likely a Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 for me

smoky radish
#

Oh

#

One of the new ones

strange glacier
#

r5 3600 is a zen2, 3000 series and 3rd gen chip

charred ice
#

Well AMD's marketing department is messed up, they should have used 4XXX if they wanted it to be seen as 4th gen

strange glacier
#

@charred ice its because they had already confused the heck out of people with zen2 mobile 4000 series and zen2 apu 4000 series

#

so they decided to skip it, kinda making things worse

broken ginkgo
#

I think they didn’t want to conflict with mobile 4000 series

strange glacier
#

yeah

charred ice
#

and shot themselves further in the foot in the process

#

Because when I see 5XXX with Ryzen, I automatically assume 5th gen

strange glacier
#

intel and zen2 are the best bang for buck now lmao

broken ginkgo
#

I just call 5xxx zen 3 cause I don’t wanna accidentally say ryzen 5th gen

smoky radish
#

Aight another thing: what is it all about in those mainboard ram support lists.. like I once build a meme pc with an asrock pro3 and took random ram from alliexpress, it still worked

charred ice
#

And I doubt I'm the only person!

strange glacier
#

zen3 is good but not 50 percent uplift

#

@smoky radish memory qvl is just ram the mobo manufacturer has tested to work with the mobo

#

dont worry if it isnt on the list, most ram works anyways

smoky radish
#

Oh. Got it.

#

Gonna get myself rgb ramAhegeo

strange glacier
#

team delta is the best cheap rgb ram @smoky radish

#

corsair vengeance pro is decent but really expensive, OLOy warhawk is also decent

smoky radish
#

I thought of getting vengeance

#

Hm

strange glacier
#

whatever you do dont get vengance lpx

smoky radish
#

Why you think?

#

Is it poop?

charred ice
#

I want the Radeon 6000 series and Ryzen 5000 series memory sharing specifically so... that's what I'll be going for

strange glacier
#

it is poop as a matter of fact, binning is atrocious on lpx @smoky radish

#

sometimes the ram doesnt even reach the rated XMP profile

smoky radish
#

Oof

acoustic trout
#

yeah that memory sharing thing is interesting

smoky radish
#

That happened me with g.skill

#

Trident z

strange glacier
#

i thought trident z was supposed to be extremely stable? idk

smoky radish
#

Well I got the non rgb

strange glacier
#

LPX issues are pretty widespread tho

acoustic trout
#

whatever you do dont get vengance lpx
Whats wrong with it

strange glacier
#

binning, binning, binning

charred ice
#

Well, just had to Powerwash my Chromebook

strange glacier
#

wat

acoustic trout
#

chromebook lmao

smoky radish
#

Issues are the last thing I want to run into..

strange glacier
#

chromebooks are decent just you cant download any apps

charred ice
#

Well actually you can, it can use Android app store

strange glacier
#

huh

acoustic trout
#

they're for a very specific audience that's slowly dying

strange glacier
#

especially since cheap and good windows laptops are becoming more prevalent

acoustic trout
#

^

#

nobody uses a computer just to browse the web and do simple things anymore

broken ginkgo
#

you would be surprised

strange glacier
#

you can use Nvidia Geforce now on chromebooks now lmao

broken ginkgo
#

many people do

acoustic trout
#

I dont know anyone who does

broken ginkgo
#

a lot of schools use them too

acoustic trout
#

schools are needing mre and more

strange glacier
#

a lot of schools use chromebooks because they are more locked down yeah

acoustic trout
#

but thats the sole purpose

#

whats to say that a windows laptop cant do the same

smoky radish
#

Ours use fucking MacBook pro just why

opaque shard
acoustic trout
#

the only reason schools use chromebooks is because they're cheap

#

cheap enough to buy in bulk

#

and the enterprise features are native

strange glacier
#

@smoky radish could be some software thats MacOS native

charred ice
#

I've had this Chromebook for about a year, been very solid

strange glacier
#

better to just use macs than try to run an emulator in that case

acoustic trout
#

wtf is a mirrorless dslr

#

they're two different things

#

a dslr has a mirror

charred ice
#

Yeah... the mirror is the defining factor of DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex)

acoustic trout
#

^

opaque shard
#

I thought of getting vengeance
@smoky radish Crucial Ballistix Max 5100Mhz 16gb kit

acoustic trout
#

a mirrorless full frame is not a dslr

charred ice
#

I'm going to assume they meant DSLR or mirrorless cameras

strange glacier
#

@opaque shard thats like 900 us

acoustic trout
#

yeah im gonna think he meant dslr or mirrorless

strange glacier
#

and anything above 3800mhz is dumb on ryzen

opaque shard
#

I’m only using vengeance because I’m on RB laptop

strange glacier
#

most memory controllers cant even go that high without crashing

acoustic trout
#

im wondering what camera and lenses he uses

#

has he answered that

#

oh well

opaque shard
#

SODIMM

strange glacier
#

cries in soldered ram

acoustic trout
#

wtf

strange glacier
#

i really bought the wrong laptop for me lmao

#

@acoustic trout more and more companies are doing it to save money and make the laptop thinner

acoustic trout
#

I would definitely participate in a photo contest

#

oh on a laptop

#

yeah kinda sucks that size comes at the cost of modularity

strange glacier
#

if there was soldered ram on a desktop i would throw it out the window

charred ice
#

I think there are desktops with soldered ram

strange glacier
#

time to bite my words

acoustic trout
#

yeah like brand name prebuilts maybe

strange glacier
#

nah most use regular ram, just really cheap with no heatsinks

charred ice
#

There's a reason I go for custom builds on both desktops and laptops

acoustic trout
#

laptops?

strange glacier
#

custom laptop? where?

acoustic trout
#

how do you custom build a laptop

charred ice
acoustic trout
#

fake custom

strange glacier
#

OOH its configure, not build

#

i thought you meant like buy the cpu etc and piece it together lmao

acoustic trout
#

lmfao

strange glacier
#

that would be a pain to do

acoustic trout
#

not possible yet

charred ice
#

They build it, but they use off the shelf parts. No reason you couldn't build your own!

acoustic trout
#

compatibility would be a nightmare

charred ice
#

Clevo do most of the internals

strange glacier
#

most parts are proprietary for laptops

acoustic trout
#

also

#

its difficult to buy laptop parts

#

like mobile cpus

strange glacier
#

unless you are buying in bulk quantities

acoustic trout
#

@acoustic trout same

but it seems they're not fully custom in the way I thought they were

strange glacier

you can only choose from a few parts, right?

By the looks of things yeah

still pretty cool tho, most companies only offer models to choose from rather than customizability of most of the parts

@quasi cedar that is really bad, even worse than a new non-gaming laptop
@strange glacier well its better than a i5

#

and i have a i5

strange glacier

no its worse than any modern i5

trust me on that

wanna see my i5?

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz, 2267 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

modern being the key word

that laptop you linked isnt worth buying, the gpu is worse than integrated radeon graphics

its not even in stock

is this good?

not really

#

the cpu is really old and you want an ssd

quasi cedar

i have a ssd

#

and its better than a core i5 right?

strange glacier
#

yeah its better than the 430m

#

i would recommend saving for a better laptop though

quasi cedar
#

oke

#

how bout acer inspire 5

#

or asus vivobook 15

strange glacier

yup those are both decent

they will give you better gaming performance than your current pc but they arent gaming laptops buy any stretch

@acoustic trout I have the Lenovo yoga730

acoustic trout
#

My lenevo broke thats why i need a new one

stark forge
#

My lenevo broke thats why i need a new one
@acoustic trout what Lenovo did you have

smoky radish
#

Hm

#

I'm deciding between a new cpu, either the ryzen 7 3800 or the 5 5600.
The 3800 is like 40 bucks more expensive.
What would you say? Considering I have a B450 mobo rn, and I'm insure if the 5 5600 comes with a good stock cooler too

lusty vine
#

the 3800 prolly has a better cooler

#

and considering you have a b450, you can't use ryzen 5000 on b450

#

so go for the 3800

#

its still a really good cpu

stark forge
#

Id agree with raptor The 3800 is a great proc still. You could always go with the 3800x

acoustic trout
#

@stark forge a shit one i dont really care its from 2014

strange glacier
#

@smoky radish if you are only gaming I’d say 5600x. Buy in January because that’s when the beta bios for b450 zen3 support comes out

#

Also the 3800x isn’t a very economical product, get the 3700x instead, yes it’s slightly downclocked but it’s much cheaper

smoky radish
#

Thank you, tho I will be streaming/content creating

#

Seems rather clear to me now, I'll get the 3800 because yesyes rgb cooler

strange glacier
#

3700x is cheaper and just as good

smoky radish
#

Wait both have the same cooler

#

Hm

strange glacier
#

If you have an Nvidia gpu you can also use NVENC to stream instead

#

Tbh zen3 has been pretty lacking value-wise

smoky radish
#

Soon there's a sale which will make the price difference between the two like 20 bucks, would it be worth then?

#

I heard the energy consumption is ass tho, I have a 700w

strange glacier
#

Between 3800x 3700x? Sure why not

smoky radish
#

Hm thank you

stark forge
#

Do the 3800x

smoky radish
#

This is the only place I trust going to when I have tech questions lol

#

Aight, time to loose NNN to the 3800x then

strange glacier
#

@smoky radish not even pcmr?

#

Tbh ryzen is out of the question for my first build, namely because the r3 3100 is more expensive than the i3 10100 yet performs worse in games

#

Bought my 10100 for 110, price matching it at 100 because I’m not driving for an hour to micro center lmao

@acoustic trout i have 2 mushy keyboards from the pentium 4 era

acoustic trout
#

you should take a look inside if you have better switches

strange glacier
#

one of them is also broken lmao

acoustic trout
#

black/brown switches are best

#

lol

#

ewww

#

cable does not matter its only the keyboard switches

#

"brown" switches are not even tactile lmao

strange glacier
#

i finally convinced my parents to let me get rid of mcafee

acoustic trout

its the best for gaming i prefer lol

#

not click clack razer keyboard

strange glacier
#

klik klak is my favorite so far

acoustic trout
#

its annoying while gaming mostly

#

or streaming so people will hear it

#

sakurios are near silent

#

too pink lol

strange glacier
#

I just turn on noise supression for discord

acoustic trout
#

i tried on razer sieren x people still hear it lol

if your mic is cardioid and you have some type of noise suppression it shouldn't be an issue

#

indeed

DAMN thats quiet

acoustic trout

np also its open source if you wanna mess it around lol

acoustic trout
#

this fans are not supported with razer

#

but i got a watercooling thats also from thermaltake works with razer

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout they are?

#

They use a 5v addressable rgb header, so they are compatible with the new chroma controller

acoustic trout
#

i dont see razer chrome picture only 4 other brands

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout no I mean I’m going to buy the razer argb controller, then hook the fans up to that

acoustic trout
#

i have no clue if that works

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout it does I think, the razer website says that any rgb component that uses 5v 3pin will work

#

The site also says that it works good with Thermaltake products

acoustic trout
#

i was checking that on razer website its supported but anything thats none razer chrome works aswell?

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout yup if you buy anything with 3pin 5v then it works

acoustic trout
#

i would recommend thermaltake or

strange glacier
#

Yeah it’s the cheapest 3pack I could fine

#

The other one was a pack of masterfans

acoustic trout
#

but those are not rgb nvm

strange glacier
#

Which ones?

acoustic trout
#

noctua

#

those are pretty good and silence

strange glacier
#

Yeah Noctuas are kinda ugly and expensive tho

acoustic trout
#

ugly because bronze ye but pretty good 11/10

strange glacier
#

Personally I’m not going to get them because I don’t have hot running components

#

So I don’t really need super powerful fans

acoustic trout
#

i used them for my server

#

not for my desktop because no rgb but bronze yuck

stark forge
#

Just imagine rgb noctuas

acoustic trout
#

hot

strange glacier
#

They took a step in the right direction with chromax

#

At least they don’t only sell tan fans anymore

stark forge
#

Thoughts on the lian li unifans ?

strange glacier
#

They look really cool from the pictures, I like how they implemented the rgb as welll as the modularity. They are kinda expensive tho

You also have to keep synapse running in order for the effects to appear

#

@acoustic trout razer blade 15 is the best budget razer laptop but razer laptops arent that great of a value so I would (personally) consider something else

#

yeah they arent that great for how much they cost

#

they are pretty nice tho

#

they are really good but also really expensive

#

please try to avoid line listing (:

#

no i dont, but the people here who do just love razer like you!

#

i dont really know tbh

#

probably, roblox isnt too demanding

#

you wont get a razer viper if you get the rank @acoustic trout

#

nope, just a mod intern

#

yup the viper, deathadder, basilisk, mamba, and naga roles are for how active you are

hence why you have the basilisk role 🙂

hmm?

acoustic trout

when i go to ''my computers name'' section on my laptop

#

its says the laptop is called ca0xxx

strange glacier

its randomly generated

#

mine is something like Desktop MUV8STE

acoustic trout
#

no not that name

#

but the name of the computer itself

#

what it gets sold as

#

but in the bottom it says its ca0020no

#

so wich one even is it

#

or is it the same computer

strange glacier
#

@acoustic trout looks to be that one is more general than the other

#

similar to product and model number

acoustic trout
#

fucking hell i just connected my bluetooth headset and the volume was on 100

#

and i blasted my ears off

#

and almost shat myself

but yeah big tip when getting a laptop dont buy ca0020no

its a piece of garbage :)

oh i've used google play music since 2013 when i got my first job in highschool. since im on a legacy account i get youtube music/ youtube premium for the same price 10 bucks amonth. instead of 10 each

wait

#

if i were to sign up for a free trial of youtube premium

then claim that

and then do the stadia pro for a month free

i wouldnt even pay a dime if i could do that

mmmmm nvm you have to have been subscribed to youtube premium since the 6th

Sorry bud 😦

Anyone good at building PCs here?

#

All the other discords for building PCs are like a twitch chat lite

broken ginkgo
#

@true flax Yea, I've built a few

strange glacier
#

i havent built any yet but i know the theory behind part choosing

true flax
#

I have a PC.
i5 3570k
Gtx 970
And really not sure about anything else about my PC.

I got a budget of around 2000CAD but things are expensive in canada.

Honestly idk if I should just upgrade or just build a PC from scratch.

I want the PC to run a heavy game like AC Valhalla at 1080p with 60fps... hopefully.

#

When I am shopping around on Amazon.ca even the average graphics card seems to be over a thousand dollars.

strange glacier
#

build from scratch tbh

#

3rd gen intel cant be upgraded much

true flax
#

I would but how do I avoid paying 4000$ for a PC?

#

Do make it do what I want?

#

At this point I might as well just get a console.

#

Every piece I look up seems to be hundreds of dollars each

strange glacier
#

do you need wifi?

true flax
#

No i use cable

#

And no need for monitors or keyboards either.

#

Just the tower

#

But I live in canada so... it has to come from canadian sellers which will increase the prics significantly.

strange glacier
#

aight hold on a sec

#

any specific color scheme in mind?

true flax
#

Black would be best.

true flax
#

Honestly doesnt matter to me.

#

As long as its affordable and does its job

#

And of course doesnt sound like i turned on the vacuum cleaner when its turned on

strange glacier
#

hmm fans are kinda hard to find cheap...

true flax
#

Wouldnt the fans come with the case?

strange glacier
#

yes but 1 or 2 fans generally isnt enough for a 3080 and a 5600x

#

idk what the cost would look like for the 3080 and the 5600x in canada tho

true flax
#

Trying to get a 3080 in canads is like close to 3000$

strange glacier
#

if you want a beefier mobo there is the b550a pro

#

oof

#

i mean its hard to get here in the US as well, so ig just wait for more stock

#

if you want a better mobo, get a b550 a pro

true flax
#

Why is it so hard to buy this thing?

#

Its not the first time I have heard about this

strange glacier
#

because its really popular and people are using bots to make a profit out of it

true flax
#

The crypto farmers?

#

Ffs

#

Lol

strange glacier
#

no crypto is pretty dead now

#

people buy up all the rtx 3080s, then sell them at massive price hikes

#

tbh the list that i gave you is a rough guesstimate, i havent done too much research on high end systems

#

the case is pretty cheap but is also pretty good

Sound quality goes to bose

Would you recommend a keyboard with a red switch? brand is not important

i have 100-200 euros

and i want tkl if possible

charred ice
#

And I have now ordered my new phone. Yay

stark forge
#

Would you recommend a keyboard with a red switch? brand is not important
@winter pawn depends which red switch. A Razer red is different from a cherry red. If you’re looking for a quiet kb. Go for black widow with orange switches

strange glacier
#

@stark forge YES they got the power connector right!

#

lol i know its just a concept

stark forge
#

I may have to save up and do the 3080ti. Hope they fix the cap issues

winter pawn
#

@winter pawn depends which red switch. A Razer red is different from a cherry red. If you’re looking for a quiet kb. Go for black widow with orange switches
@stark forge i want like cherry mx red

#

silent and linear

stark forge
#

Like i said i think you’d be really happy with razers orange switches as they are spec to spec with an mx red

winter pawn
#

ok thanks

stark forge
#

Do you ever plan to switch keycaps ? If you do the one thing about razer and corsair they don’t use standard bottom rows

strange glacier
#

doesn't huntsman use standard

stark forge
#

I think only the huntsman mini does.

winter pawn
#

no i don't plan to change

stark forge
#

Okay then that won’t be an issue.

#

Corsair also makes solid kbs. I just like synapse more then icue

winter pawn
#

which one is closer to the red switches? orange or yellow

stark forge
#

Orange, spec to spec is the closest

winter pawn
#

ok thanks i guess i will buy Razer BlackWidow TE Chroma v2, is it good keyboard?

stark forge
#

So you want a tkl?

winter pawn
#

yeah

strange glacier
#

isnt there the blackwidow v3 tkl

stark forge
#

Yes the v3 didn’t have orange switches

#

The yellows

winter pawn
#

looks good blackwidow v3 tkl too

stark forge
#

Are actually a bit faster then the orange switches and may give you a closer feel to the reds

iPhone XR imo

#

Should i get iPhone XR or a Razer phone
@acoustic trout why not get an 11 or 12? And don’t get the Razer phone its prob not supported much anymore.

#

If you’re looking for a budget phone you can always do a pixel, or even something like the samsung note 20 fe.

strange glacier
#

iphone XR is much cheaper but yeah not recommended much tbh

#

I have the 11 pro. I love it!!

strange glacier
#

apparently im getting the 12 pro max?

#

i dont really want it but its bogof ¯_(ツ)_/¯

apparently im getting the 12 pro max?
@strange glacier nice man. I like the size if the normal pro. But the cameras on the pro max this year 🔥

yeah 12 pro max is massive, i dont really do photography much tho

Then save money and get the non max

@acoustic trout get an xr

#

usb is shit

and if you really want a usb, id get the yeti

im using it atm

stark forge
#

I’m using the yeti as well. But the rode nt usb or the at2020 or elgato wave 3 are all solid ysb mics

acoustic trout
#

idk if this is a good deal

#

and id change the loadcell to 90kg

#

and id get a kill switch

charred ice
#

@acoustic trout kill switch doesn't work with the CSL Elite wheel base, needs to be a Podium wheel base!

#

Source: I have the CSL Elite

acoustic trout
#

Ik, id get my electrition to put one into the eletrics

charred ice
#

Your best bet would be to put the wheel base into a smart plug

strange glacier
#

just bought my gpu so excited

charred ice
#

and then have the kill switch run an IFTTT command to the smart plug to immediately cut the power

acoustic trout
#

true

charred ice
#

If you want a kill switch though, I recommend going for the Podium

acoustic trout
#

ok

charred ice
#

The forces of the CSL Elite aren't enough to really need a kill switch

#

The Podium DD wheel bases on the other hand... h'oh boy, they get feisty

acoustic trout
#

k

#

i play f1 master ranked so I think I should look at the Podium :/

charred ice
#

Yeah, Podium is definitely the one to go for if you're very competitive

acoustic trout
#

atm im using a thrustmaster setup

charred ice
#

Either Podium, or look at boutique setups, unless you need console compatibility, then Fanatec (Fanatec is the best for consoles)

acoustic trout
#

using this atm

#

but instead of that seat im using a gtomega

charred ice
#

Ah, I have the Fanatec CSL Elite wheel base and basic circular wheel, the Fanatec CSL Elite LC pedals, the Clubsport Shifter, and Clubsport Handbrake

acoustic trout
#

👌

#

would the podium work with that cockpit?

charred ice
#

link me the cockpit

acoustic trout
#

alr one sec

charred ice
#

Because while it likely will fit, there's also flex to worry about

acoustic trout
#

its the

Playseat Sensation Pro

charred ice
#

Ah yeah, that looks sturdy enough for it

acoustic trout
#

alr

#

it cost me ALOT

#

so it should be

#

it was more then the official f1 seat crydeath

charred ice
#

So you may need the Podium Bracket

acoustic trout
#

ok

#

and if you really want a usb, id get the yeti
@acoustic trout Well I do have a yeti but its broke lol

Is this for streaming?

So is edge chromium lol

strange glacier
#

@red drum you said you get "better results with chrome"

red drum
#

Yeah

strange glacier
#

chrome is a browser not a search engine...

red drum
#

I don't understand

stark forge
#

Yes but the browser doesn’t effect the results. You can use google on ie just like you can use bing on chrome

my phone is burning my hands lol

#

Surely the S20 FE can't be the only good Samsung phone to have existed... wonder how many amazing phones of their I missed because of my prejudice to Samsung over the Tocco Lite

wise badger
#

S10 was great

#

Most of the S series are the flagship ones

#

A series and J series wasn’t my thing

hey guys, im looking at a new PC build in near future, however I could use a second pair of eyes im looking at the razer tomahawk ATX for the case obviously but wanting to get a ROG Crosshair VIII Formula Mobo as its one of the top of the line suggestions for the Ryzen 5950x CPUs, from what i can tell i should in theory be able to plug in the USB-C but can someone else confirm?

#

i've made the mistake of assuming in past with my current mobo and case, and was sorely mistaken (again to clarify i know the tomahawk has a USB-C port on it just trying to confirm its compatible with the MOBO pin settings.

strange glacier
#

@lethal trellis im pretty sure that since the mobo has a 3.2gen2 header the 3.2gen2 usbc will work

#

hi

#

yeah

#

anyways

#

mac is overrated

#

thats what i think

#

I wouldn't buy a razer blade unless it was for something heavy and beefed up

#

its not overrated its underrated

strange glacier
#

maybe they should warn to not vape in general

acoustic trout
#

but i wanna vape my games to overclock lmao

strange glacier
#

gotta have that positive influence lol

#

@acoustic trout vape minecraft hacks

languid minnow
#

@acoustic trout lenovo legion 5i is a good value laptop i heard

acoustic trout
#

@languid minnow isnt that a gaming laptop

#

im not really looking for a gaming laptop yk

strange glacier
#

i have a lenovo yoga, really beautiful but the specs arent that great

#

there are ones with better specs tho

acoustic trout
#

how much was it

strange glacier
#

700ish so not cheap for its components

thorny delta
#

@acoustic trout Wait till black friday perhaps. I think the razer blades are going on a huge sale on amazon

acoustic trout
#

and honestly asus zenbooks dont look so bad

thorny delta
#

acoustic trout
#

thorny delta
#

acoustic trout
#

thorny delta
#

thorny delta
#

acoustic trout
#

thorny delta
#

acoustic trout
#

dell xps laptops

thorny delta
#

hard choice actually

acoustic trout
#

im just doing research and

thorny delta
#

the blue zenbook looks amazing

acoustic trout
#

dell xps isnt that bad either

#

same with the zenbooks yeah

thorny delta
#

what are you going to do on your laptop?

acoustic trout
#

school work, gaming, and blender

thorny delta
#

do you use a GPU render engine?

acoustic trout
#

but im going to use geforce now for all gaming

thorny delta
#

My best suggestion is to get any small laptop with the best CPU and most ram you can get

#

and buy a RTX 3070 and razer core eGPU

acoustic trout
#

i was going to use geforce now

strange glacier
#

that would bottleneck to hell and back @thorny delta

acoustic trout
#

geforce now is wayyyyyy better

thorny delta
#

why would it?

acoustic trout
#

than buying an egpu and whatnot

thorny delta
#

I use a 5700XT eGPU on my Macbook Pro 2018 with no issues

strange glacier
#

thunderbolt 3 only has 4 pcie lanes

thorny delta
#

I can even game on it

acoustic trout
#

lets be honest here

strange glacier
#

regular gpus use x16 slots

thorny delta
#

ah ok

#

I dont notice it but I use a older gpu

strange glacier
#

i mean...5700xt isnt that old
