Went with a c14s instead

vapid smelt

graceful burrow
#

True

candid magnet
#

it's ok

#

not crazy high quality

#

the ltt screwdriver would probably be better quality and lower price if you're not using the cooler

ancient void

Yes

vapid smelt
ancient void
#

is the Corsair RM750x (2021) 750 W worth the $110

wraith sonnet
#

Do they sell it

wraith sonnet
#

Because I want it

#

Coop

#

Give me the link

vapid smelt
#

i cant find it alone only with the cooler

wraith sonnet

vapid smelt

#

no my build

candid magnet
#

but if you lower the power limit it works p well

gilded quest
#

Why would you use a passive cooler with an unlocked cpu

candid magnet
#

for fun

#

I was going to use it with my locked 13th gen cpu but my pc wouldn't boot with it installed

wraith sonnet
#

My cousin keeps sending me builds at that budget for some reason

wraith sonnet
#

@ancient void, you aren't by chance my cousin on an alt?

candid magnet
#

also I have active cooling on it

wraith sonnet
#

Lmc

#

I have personal issues with Corsair but it's not bad

#

But at that price why not use one of deep cools radiators?

ancient void

i know what a radiator is not a deep cooled one though

Okay maybe it's time for noctua to finally put at the nfa15x25

vapid smelt
#

nh d15 literally cost twice as much 55 vs 110 LOLZ

vapid smelt
ancient void
#

cause buying everything from multiple sights is complicated

#

and i have prime

#

and the deliveries are longer

vapid smelt
#

2 sites its not that complicated and this way you save $100+

ancient void
#

the mother board is from some random place ive never heard of lmao

vapid smelt
#

you never heard of B&h?!

vapid smelt
#

B&H Photo Video is an American photo and video equipment retailer founded in 1973, based in Manhattan, New York City

ancient void
#

is this fine or should i just stick with the ak120

vapid smelt
#

its a slightly smaller cooler so it would probably perform a bit worse

ancient void
#

ok

vapid smelt
#

and buying form both newegg and amazon would save you $92

ancient void
#

does the ak20 come with thermal paste

vapid smelt
#

yes

ancient void
#

and also will i need anything else to build the pc

#

like splitters or somtn

lilac sage
#

if its an ATX board chances are you dont need splitters

vapid smelt
#

no

vapid smelt
#

yes

#

damn that board has 5 pwm fan headers

ancient void
#

does the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi DDR4 ProSeries Motherboard come with wifi inside

#

and will it be better than my routers

vapid smelt
ancient void
#

ok will it be better than my router

vapid smelt

it uses your router for the internet

#

like your phone

ancient void
vapid smelt
ancient void
#

so whats the point

gilded quest
#

You can connect to wifi with it

vapid smelt
#

you dont need a wired internet connection to use your pc

ancient void
#

ok so do i just connect to my normal wifi and my motherboard automaticaly connects

vapid smelt

its like how you would connect your phone to your home internet

amber canopy

#

that woulf probably have been fine if everything hadnt been bloated for no reason over time. back in 2005 they had fully functional laptops which wouldnt work today even if compatible because of weak processing power

wym why

young bloom
fluid ridge
#

Hard disks are the most unreliable form of storage

full fossil
#

do you have an answer why "fuck HDDs"

fluid ridge
#

they can die at any time, they're MUCH slower, have a much shorter lifespan, all in all not worth it

vapid smelt
fluid ridge
#

the only upside? they're cheaper

young bloom
#

yes

fluid ridge
#

the only justification i would have for using an HDD is having cheap, backup storage

young bloom
#

hdd u mean?

fluid ridge
#

if you're using it, use an ssd

full fossil
fluid ridge
young bloom
#

some hard drives can fail in 10 years other in 25 you never know until it starts buzzing

fluid ridge
#

i dont think hard disks do wear levelling either

vapid smelt
#

ssds are legit $49 for 1tb 🤯

fluid ridge
#

so entire sectors of your HDD just might die agony

young bloom
#

its an example

full fossil

Bro this triage is roasting, Dont even know being polite

I have a Lenovo P14s as a laptop, it's a nice machine for the price imo. Nothing transcendant but it works well

ivory wolf

I'll consider my options and see if it's worth the price

urban talon

@ivory wolf also if you are on a tight budget maybe look into refurbished ? Or second hand if you have good options

ivory wolf
#

They have refurbished 16GB Mac Mini's for like 600$ USD

#

In excellent condition I should add

Macofalltrades has some great refurbed hardware

Oh 16GB M1 nice

The ones I listed both have certified apple techs as well.

#

Yeah the used mac market is pretty intense - gotta buy when you find it

ivory wolf
polar fern
#

Yeah they’re newer so they will be either lower spec or have damage of some kind for lower prices

#

Because they have alu housing they’re pretty resilient but you can still get debts & scuffs & they still work perfectly

ivory wolf
#

I'm just gonna stick with my original reseller

polar fern
#

Other times they may have ports that don’t work, stuck pixels or such

#

Oh I’m just saying in general

ivory wolf
#

I know

polar fern
#

Do you care about the specs, or just any M1 Mac mini?

ivory wolf
polar fern
#

Ok

#

Budget range?

ivory wolf

~800$

polar fern

Ok

#

What country you in?

Wait for how much you can get brand new m1 mini 16GB where you are ?

@urban talon 16GB with 256GB SSD is 899$

urban talon

256GB with 16GB is like 1030€ here

Not bad pricing you have over there

16 gig M1

#

Yes

urban talon
#

Honestly those m1,m2 and m1 pro/m1 max looks compelling 😁, sadly i don't really can justify myself switching to it. I have my gaming tower and I'm not using my laptop anymore 😁

#

But that's a sick solution for laptops

polar fern
#

Look on shelf next to keyboard tray

urban talon
#

I'm curious what do you use it for or is it your main rig ?

polar fern
#

I use both for a bunch of stuff

#

Often I’ll watch videos & streams on the mac while I play games on the Lenovo

#

But I game on both

urban talon
#

Oh i see but the Lenovo isn't much faster for gaming

#

So make sense

polar fern
#

They both have their strengths

urban talon
#

I'm curious, you run two mouse + keebs , one for each computer ?

polar fern
#

I’ve used both platforms for decades & they both get used about equally.

#

Yes.

urban talon
#

Would a USB switch be better or it's fine that way for you (i guess it is)

polar fern
#

Nah. I prefer the separate layout

#

The vertical has a simpler button layout which is perfect for the mac.

#

It also has a variable DPI which you can change on the fly - also perfect for a mac

#

Like it has a slider, not just 3-5 dpi settings

I have unlimited data for mobile. But it´s split evenly on 5 people 😉

Unlimited plus plan from att

My girlfriend‘s kids are doing remote school and she does remote work and other things from home quite often so one of the big benefits of the specific plan that I have is the hotspot data, so if for some reason the local Internet goes out I can keep them connected via my cell phone

50 gigs a month of hotspot - enough for a zoom meeting & a day of remote school
