What do you do on the pc

#

Bc it’s kinda un balanced

I mainly game and video edit, along with the usual school work. This semester, I will also be doing a lot of work with VMs

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by unbalanced?

#

it's not really, they probably think that you need to have a higher end GPU

#

or a lower end cpu, to be balanced 😛

#

i would suggest a better cpu cooler, power supply, and more storage

#

sorry

I went with the stock cooler and the chosen psu cuz I was on a limited budget this time. The stock cooler has been actually good at keeping the cpu temps down (sometime in the future, tho I may get a different cooler). As for storage, I actually have a couple of WD my book external hard drives where I put my games and media content.

Nice case

I feel your cpu is overkill compared to your gpu. But I didn’t know what you use it for so

#

It makes sence now bc you said you use it for VM

manic iron I feel your cpu is overkill compared to your gpu. But I didn’t know what you use...

I also wanted a CPU that was more powerful than my gaming laptop's one lol

Lol

If you play cpu intensive games it’s also more important.

manic iron Mar 6, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Still overkill

#

Exept for Minecraft with its 99% usage in a 7950x full render distance (bedrock)

#

Yeah

#

That’s what I was thinking lol

How high

manic iron Mar 6, 2023, 9:41 PM

#

Max

#

Like 96 chinks

brisk niche Mar 6, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

I have a 3600 and 76 (no idea why it’s not 96) chunks works just fine, so idk

UPDATE:
I've upgraded the cooler to the thermalright PA120 and it's been a big improvement, with temps being lowered by 10 to 20 degrees
