depends

#

no effect basically

vale mulch
low nexus
#

yeah

vale mulch
#

so it should be okay

#

of course if its 24 7 thats power draw

low nexus
#

ive seen people with systems on for months on end

vale mulch
#

will heat spike for no reason

rose sentinel
#

Yeah

low nexus
#

depends

vernal kettle
#

Depends

low nexus
#

it can happen

rose sentinel
#

There’s people who never turn theirs off and still runs fine

vernal kettle
vale mulch
#

if it does while left on for 24 7 could an increase in heat fry your chip

low nexus
#

no

#

amd cpus can run at like 90c for weeks

vernal kettle
low nexus
#

its not reccomended

#

but it survives it

vale mulch
#

how hot will my combo get

low nexus
#

not very hot

vale mulch
#

what parts generate heat

low nexus
#

cpu and gpu

rose sentinel
#

air flow

vernal kettle
#

You

low nexus
#

all parts generate heat

vernal kettle
#

Your room

low nexus
#

cpu and gpu mostly tho

rose sentinel
#

Are putting it together? Or having someone build it?

low nexus
#

we are not that part yet

#

she doesnt know

vernal kettle
#

They work at walmart KEKW

neon lava
#

@vale mulch have you purchased anything yet?

low nexus
#

they havent

rose sentinel
#

I guess

#

But that ups or how havre it’s called is pretty damn nice

#

Didn’t know this existed

low nexus
#

they are useful

vernal kettle
low nexus
#

oh well

rose sentinel
#

24g vram omg 😂 play on ultra rtx with out any hinder

low nexus
#

good for ai

rose sentinel
#

This build is baller

low nexus
#

if you read the entire thread

#

youll know the journey

#

i wish i could work but i cant get a job anywhere due to location

low nexus
#

how am i meant to drain my wallet if ive got no wallet to drain

#

the struggles of life

fierce spindle
#

Anyone else feeling as if this PC is never gonna be made 😂

stiff nexus
#

Plus another 9ish months(I hope) to get a good monitor and gpu

fierce spindle
#

And by the time you made your list and you wanted to order a new gen was out and u started to doubt everything in life? Been there lol

stiff nexus
#

Ye.

fierce spindle
#

After building my first 2 PC's I learnt sometimes you just have to decide without thinking too much

#

With technology you can keep waiting forever

lone scaffold
#

so she's getting there

fierce spindle
#

I still think we're just training some LTT pc AI bot here 😂

pine totem
#

Lmao True

#

Ngl i kinda want à New screen since mine has à big ass scratch

fierce spindle
#

Did u throw ur mouse at it?

#

I had a period where I needed a new mouse every 3 weeks. But then I got old and slow and I accepted thst I'm not good at games anymore 🤓

pine totem

stiff nexus
#

At least that’s what I’d do/kinda did

proper dove
austere shale
#

It’s rumored for the beginning of 2024

proper dove
#

What about the 7950xtx

austere shale
#

No idea

lone scaffold
stiff nexus
#

I hear that Used 3070’s are cheap nowadays

silver path
#

im pretty sure

silver path
vale mulch
#

like if i wait all that time

#

and then it goes out of stock because of bots

#

within like 1 hour

thorn vigil
#

7950x and a xtx done add rest of parts lol seasonic evga or superflower PSU 1300-1600 but fk it add a second power mod for the gpu , godlike or ace mobo 64gb ddr5 6k patriot viper or trident z neo artic liquid freezer 2 420mm with kyronaught with thermal paste actually applied right, mini internal screen with die sensors to each piece of hardware id go with lian li for the case i guess not sure can never choose a case, all gen 4 and gen 5 nvmes mobo verticle gpu mount and all static pressure fans unless case need a high airflow fan i guess? id get a noctua static pressure 2200rpm all fans in system cables from cable mod and Samsung odyssey g7 240 prob forgetting parts but u get the picture

vale mulch
#

7950x seems like the safer route but i am a risk taker. also a lot of the videos on the 7950x3d seem to have actually been user error and motherboard issues especially for pc builders with upgrade issues

lone scaffold
vale mulch
#

this will be a brand new build from scratch so i think the 7950x3d works great here

lone scaffold
#

at least i think they dont

#

gpu on the other hand

vale mulch
#

ohh okay

#

yeah

#

i thought you guys meant gpu

lone scaffold
#

i mean

#

the closest new thing to come out is the intel 14th series

vale mulch
thorn vigil
#

id 13900k 4090 otherwise

lone scaffold
#

4090 ti will come out next year if it's not already cancelled

thorn vigil
#

my xtx runs cicles on a 4090

#

lol

vale mulch
#

a better comparison would be the 13900ks

#

intels best cpu right now

#

it's just overpriced

#

i still like the idea of the 13900ks

#

but i dont like

thorn vigil
#

the power is insannneeee

#

but hell have like 15 grand left over lol

vale mulch
#
  • lga1700
  • the bad performance / price it's a bad deal.
  • poor efficiency relative to competition
thorn vigil
#

stacked vcache = stupid

vale mulch
#

minor over all

thorn vigil
#

reason i have a 7950 and a xtx combo

vale mulch
#

but lga1700 is a big no for me

thorn vigil
#

10nm still......

#

refresh finna suck

vale mulch
#

money is whatever and i could look past the power draw and heat

thorn vigil
#

okay

#

my advice

#

seasonic 1300 is more then yull need

#

64gb of the ddr5 patriot venom viper 6k or trident z neo

vale mulch
#

but with the 7950x3d these issues arent present.
i just dont like

  • all the paranoia of the cpu in general and the stigma that surrounds it
thorn vigil
#

for case

#

ur gonna laugh

#

but its sitting in my 4k comp lol

vale mulch
#

its also a bit overpriced but not as bad as the ks

thorn vigil
#

ks is just a worse binned 1900

#

13900

vale mulch
#

im not too knowledgeable about ram

thorn vigil
#

landcool 216 airflow

vale mulch
#

and idk what binned means

#

or landcool

thorn vigil
#

ram i have spent months tuning

proper dove
thorn vigil
#

debauer is a joke when it comes to timing

vale mulch
#

whats lian li mean

proper dove
#

Its a brand

thorn vigil
#

lancool 216 rw rgb

#

1 reason

vale mulch
#

ik debauer hes that german guy

thorn vigil
#

gpu fan

#

hes very nice

proper dove
#

Lian li makes cases and fans

strange ferry
#

Fan hubs

thorn vigil
#

but my ram timing and ram latency still lower and tighter

proper dove
#

Overrated imo

strange ferry
#

Fan accesories

#

Yk

thorn vigil
#

whats ovverated

proper dove
#

Lian Li

thorn vigil
#

very

#

that one case though

#

just that one

proper dove
#

Fractal Design is the goat

austere shale
#

I think they have good cases though

thorn vigil
#

only lian li product ive ever got lmfao

vale mulch
#

i just want a pink case

thorn vigil
#

pink can be even doper 1 sec

#

which couty?

vale mulch
#

im in wood county

#

in ohio

thorn vigil
#

oh shit yeah sorry read that

#

me n mgk colson go way back

#

and toleto is just by annarbor i frequent there

vale mulch
#

oh wow

#

ann arbor is pretty

proper dove
#

How about Fractal Design pop air?

vale mulch
#

toledo not so much lol

proper dove
#

Its black and pink

austere shale
#

I’ve seen people send panels of their cases to be powder coated

#

Maybe something you want to consider if you can’t find a pink case you don’t like

vale mulch
#

whatttttt

#

powder coated sounds so cute

austere shale
#

Oh

#

It’s a finishing process

#

It’s just a fancy way of painting something

#

Idk if you’ve touched painted metal surfaces that have a rough texture

#

But that’s what a powder coated part feels like

vale mulch
#

why do cuda cores go to like 16k and cpu cores are like 4 lmao

silver path
#

a core is about 1k transistors

#

cpus have way more complex things

vale mulch
#

but i thought number of transistors was a completely different spec

#

ohhh

silver path
vernal kettle
silver path
#

these are amd cores for eg

i got blue rasperry candies

vale mulch
silver path
#

yeah

#

but programs prefer diff brands

#

like fortnite runs shit on any amd card

#

it was made for nvidia

vernal kettle
#

with ice cream in it without forgetting the gummies

#

a macdo nearby

lone scaffold
#

they exist

#

and thats why the 4090 got sold out after launch

#

but not the 4080

vernal kettle
lone scaffold
# vale mulch

i think that you have a tiny perf boost if you pair amd cpu and amd gpu

#

like they have something that i dont remember the name of

vernal kettle
#

smart access memory

lone scaffold
#

ah yes

vernal kettle
#

cpu get access to gpu memory

silver path
#

rebar works the same

vernal kettle
#

izk

silver path
vernal kettle

i zont know

vernal kettle

really for 1-2% its not worth it lol

silver path
# vernal kettle i zont know

Resizable BAR is an optional PCI Express interface technology that allows the PCIe device, such as a discrete graphics card, to negotiate the BAR size to optimize system resources.2 It essentially makes the entirety of the graphics frame buffer accessible to the CPU at once, resulting in faster loading of textures, shaders, and geometry, resulting in higher frame rates and faster gameplay.0 Resizable BAR has been part of the PCI Express specification for some time, but only now have manufacturers enabled it for use on the latest graphics cards, motherboards, and processors.3 It is a term specific to NVIDIA's GPUs, but AMD has its own version of the same technology called Smart Access Memory or SAM

silver path
vernal kettle
silver path
#

SAM is a ripoff of rebar lol

vernal kettle
#

for low cpu yes

silver path
silver path
vernal kettle
#

whatever

low nexus
silver path
silver path
#

rebar is literally necessary nowadays usually especially with arc gpus

low nexus
#

rebar very useful

turbid elm
#

Yes, yes it is

vernal kettle
#

i said i dont know

#

about rebar

silver path
#

simple as

vernal kettle
#

which advice did i gave?

#

i give my personal opinions

#

just like you do

That wont happen, unless theres a very sudden urge to start up new crypto mines, but lets be real: that wont happen again.
Or if the elements destroy a chip factory, but lets be positive and say that wont happen either.
Covid + chip shortage + the crypto mine boom was a very unfortunate series of events coming together.

vernal kettle
#

personaally i do not think so

silver path
#

ik cos that is my friends build i benchmarked

#

with and without resizable bar

vernal kettle
#

ok do you think its far from 1-2% ?

silver path
#

fps wise yes

#

i got 10-20fps boost and 2-5% diff in pass mark scores

#

iirc

vernal kettle
#

ok

thorn vigil
#

That's one lol

#

5nvme 2hdd 2ssd 13 fans... Pure power

low nexus
#

pc

thorn vigil
#

+200 on pbo 1.3v 5.3ccd0 and 5.25ccd1 with medium load enabled and LLC level 5 out of 8 at 120% reg max temp 100% workload 80 evenafter 30 min test and daily driver at 1.1 5ghz all core

#

dynamic oc switcher is actually great same with tweakers

fierce spindle
# thorn vigil

I need that, my gpu (or its fans, not sure yet) has a very annoying coil whine. But I am lazy

thorn vigil
#

coil whine is another thing ive never had with power color

#

from 500 -700 series

#

7000

#

but i get all my part diferntly

thorn vigil
#

Although I think my ears are horrible sooo yah

trim barn
#

I think I have it worse lol prob why I can handle coil whine and loud pcs

fierce spindle
trim barn
#

correction I have tinnitus lol not think

#

wait

#

ahh

#

brain moment

thorn vigil
#

yeah i just have horrible hearing and i still havnt had an issue with power color ever even right to the ear bc yes... ive tried

vale mulch
#

some are neutral

low nexus
#

thats why i have loud fans

trim barn
low nexus
#

but they drew 36W each

#

and also it would sound like a literal jet taking off

#

ive got a 4000rpm 80mm and u can hear it across the hallway

trim barn
vale mulch
#

ive definitely narrowed it down to either the 4090 or the xtx

#

the 4080 is a horrible gpu. no reason to buy it

pine totem
#

You do ai, you get nvidia

vale mulch
#

yeah i read into that too

#

i misread the topazai graph

#

what is gpgpu?

#

the xtx seems to be better at this

#

i also hate how AMD markets that its gpu will perform better if you match it with an amd cpu

it makes me really want to consider matching parts

proud rapids
#

Don’t go and it’s terrible for so

#

Ai*

vale mulch
#

sorry can you say that again

proud rapids
#

Don’t go for amd it’s terrible of ai

vale mulch
#

yeah ik

#

my reasons for xtx are dwindling.

#

idk how linus could choose the xtx even if its a rebellion thing

#

i mean i hate nvidia too from the history ive read up on.

everyone seems to look at nvidia as actually evil when compared to even intel

#

but a better gpu is better

#

if amd is better the numbers will show that one day. amd as a company does similar things as nvidia but i like amd as a company much more. i hope they close the gap in market share in the next 10 to 20 years. itd be more interesting.

trim barn
vale mulch
trim barn
#

and as I mentioned in tech chat 1 in the morning my workflow does revolve around nvidia soooo I can't do much

vale mulch
#

so the gpgpu is the cpu inside of the gpu ig

#

the xtx gpgpu did better in one benchmark lol but its a score so not even real metrics really

vale mulch
#

does amd not have cuda cores? i know they have like 10,000 less gpu cores

trim barn
#

uhh that I do not know but I will leave this as my reference lol

#

and I work with Blackmagic and Red Camera footage soo self explanatory

vale mulch
#

rip 7900 xt

#

didnt even make the list

trim barn
vale mulch
#

how did the 3080 get up there lmao

pine totem
#

Magic

vale mulch
#

i probably shouldnt consider a last gen gpu

pine totem
#

You should

vale mulch
#

especially anything less than 16 gb if im doing 4k streaming

trim barn
#

and I use a 3070 which plows through my stuff without problem

#

maybe blackmagic braw becomes a problem sometimes but it is doable

vale mulch
#

i need answers lol

#

bad

#

im so confused

vale mulch
#

okay so i think i figured it out

#

SAM is a technology that amd uses

#

resizeable bar is one that nvidia uses

#

neither of them are made by them

#

but they are the same thing

#

SAM stands for smart access memory

#

and what they do is basically try to make cpu and gpu matching a thing

#

with SAM you need a amd cpu and a amd gpu

#

with Resizeable bar you need intel and nvidia.

#

and its built into the PCI ig

#

but they basically dont work

#

maybe 1 or 2 frames for some games but you might also lose 1 or 2 frames ig

turbid elm
#

Arc gpus basically NEED rebar to function

proper dove
#

How loud is that lmao

trim barn
#

lol

#

so not too loud

#

but can be heard across the house

vale mulch
#

also ive decided on 4090 for sure

#

just gotta pick an AIB now

trim barn
#

lol when exhaust fan has fan grill

#

those blades will injure so

turbid elm
trim barn
turbid elm
#

oh

#

speedy boy

trim barn
#

yep and I have been hurt by that fan too before once

#

didn't have the fan grill on but I learned

turbid elm
#

makes sense

trim barn
#

but I did swap over to my EK Basic 240 aio from my noctua cooler....I think the noctua does better lol but all black rig

#

though 55-60c idle is apparently normal

vale mulch
#

im looking into whats better

#

AIBs or founders edition

crystal atlas
#

This has far too many comments

#

Good job on #1 comments

#

I really thought team Micheal would have had it for a while longer

trim barn
#

fast one

#

but at least we have 2 dominant threads

crystal atlas
#

That’s true

#

Probably the most comments of the battlestation threads

trim barn
#

DIDSOMEONESAYKEKW should someone make one in tech support

#

domination

vale mulch
#

im sorry

#

its been a huge dream of mine tho since 2013.

#

i give up every time

#

this is the farthest ive ever gotten

trim barn
#

lol if you brought it to public chat it would be hell hole we chill

vale mulch
#

i tried public chat at first

#

lmao

crystal atlas
#

Bad idea

#

Never try public chat

#

There are literally 4 channels I look at here

#

Someone type one message

trim barn
#

one message has been typed

#

Fr

#

Do y’all know if rety still exists here?

trim barn
#

rety?

crystal atlas
#

The guy

vale mulch
#

alright now i am off

#

so ig amd doesnt have cuda cores

#

amd has stream

crystal atlas
#

Yeah

turbid elm
#

This has 4000+ messages, but what exactly has been decided upon?

trim barn
#

lol

turbid elm
#

i dont want to read through it all

turbid elm
fierce spindle
crystal atlas
#

Sometimes

#

Air is far cheaper and within a few % of performance

turbid elm
#

what cant you decide

#

or is it people trying to lower the budget

fierce spindle
#

She just wanna learn EVERYTHING. Its more about that than actually building a PC. You start with "whats a GPU" and u end up in quantum physics and 7 dimension theories. Its been a weird but interesting ride

turbid elm
#

ohhh ok

#

thats interesting

vernal kettle
#

Proxinus sinus

vale mulch
#

im just trying to decide now if i want a founders edition or a AIB

#

im learning about tensor cores right now

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

cause you would think partners would be worse than the OG

turbid elm
#

it depends on the card. some aibs will overclock the cards, others will massively overengineer the cooling solution

vale mulch
#

ik the gpu is just the housing and cooling

#

which i never knew before

#

that's what AIBs build

#

i knew about the chipsets tho too

turbid elm
#

take msi for example, with their liquid supreme 4090. it has a 240mm radiator attached

vale mulch
#

ik amd has chiplet technology but i dont think im going xtx

#

what is a radiator

#

ive heard that term tossed around for metrics on pcpp for cooler

crystal atlas
#

its used to cool water that passes through it

#

it will suck in cool air

#

and pass it over the water

#

(very sdimplified, I know)

vale mulch
#

ive heard of water coolers

#

for like the whole tower

#

but not built into the gpu

#

is that correct

crystal atlas
#

yeah you can get a small radiator attatched to some tubes that attach to a block that pushes the cold water over the CPU to cool it

#

really over a copper plate that sits on top of the cpu

turbid elm
#

heres the card i was talking about. the radiator is the two fans on the right. it basically moves the heat away from the gpu core to a more conveneient location (such as the side of the case)

#

everyone, we gotta get this to 9001 messages

crystal atlas
#

we did alr pass 1337 didnt we

#

too bad

trim barn
vale mulch
#

why 9001 or 1337

trim barn
#

9001 messages in this chat I guess lol

#

which hey I can do

lone scaffold
#

because i dont think they are

#

they're the first to be released and usually dont last long for the flagship products

silver path
#

bro 4090 coolers are overbuilt as is

silver path
austere shale
#

I wouldn’t bother with aio gpus

turbid elm
silver path
#

any aircooler 4090 is ovebuilt

#

my friends pny one keeps under 70 under full rendering load for a few hours

#

the aio will do the same but takes more voulme and looks uglier imo

#

the aio might even get hotter in cases

austere shale
#

Depending on the case you buy it’s possible the gpu or cpu radiator will have to use warm exhaust air from the pc

stiff nexus
silver path
#

wait shit

#

its inno3d

#

lol

vale mulch
#

i could always buy used founders edition

proper dove
#

Buying used at your budget is insane

stiff nexus
#

@vale mulch ur gonna custom water cool this whole thing

#

No ifs and buts

trim barn
vale mulch
#

but im off for 2 days so im gonna do a bunch of research at 10

#

might fo my makeup tho

heavy mulch
#

No lol "video ram"

vernal kettle
#

Vram

#

Fu u are right

heavy mulch
#

Also the term has changed. Historically it was used as only a frame buffer but now it's exclusively used for textures and other assets. The actual frame buffer is on the die in modern GPUs

heavy mulch
vernal kettle
#

Oh

heavy mulch
stiff nexus
stiff nexus
silver path
#

shes new you idiot

#

its either she drowns her components and breaks everyone of them or gets away with a few leaks and a broken part

#

there is not gonna be a good ending considering how clueless she can be (no offence to her not eveybody has every bit of pc knowledge)

silver path
heavy mulch
silver path
#

i mean custom is nuh uh

#

in this case the only watercooling id put in is a 360aio

#

like a z73 cos yes that cooler can easily keep the 7950x under 85

#

like i said tip top okay but not that tip top

vale mulch
#

i have no idea what im doing outside of knowing that those words exist

silver path
#

so that is why aioooo

vale mulch
#

and that overclocking can be activated with one button

#

or something

#

im interested in learning how to overclock

#

i found 2 really good articles for founders edition vs AIB

#

but then i lost them

silver path
silver path
vale mulch
#

is it harder now

silver path
vale mulch
#

7800 is still good. definitely a much better price / performance

silver path
# vale mulch is it harder now

yes its more bios shenanigans but you can sak the board to automatcally overclock for you, it might be unstable or give diminishing resuts

silver path
#

cos yeah

vale mulch
#

and much better gaming than the 7950x. i wouldnt even recommend a 7950x to regular gamer people

silver path
#

why not

silver path
#

do you need a monitor too btw?

vale mulch
#

so theres different types of bottlenecks

#

a gpu bottleneck is really bad and it means your cpu basically sucks

#

a cpu bottleneck isnt that bad cause if your gpu is that good, then eventually the cpu will bottleneck. performance cant just keep increasing obviously

silver path
vale mulch
#

is that right

#

prolly not for these parts but one day

silver path
#

like Teardown needs a 1st generation i5 and a gtx 1060 those components are like 8 yearts apart or so

#

and itd give you amazing performance in teardown

#

but not in other games

#

bottlenecks are sudjective

#

they appear and dissapear depending on game

#

its an ok panel msi makes good monitors

#

its also IPS is a good monitor type

#

it has amazing wieviing angles and colors

#

not as good as oled but oleds are expensive as shit

vale mulch
#

tyy for all this

austere shale
#

Might want to consider mini led too, but also quite expensive

stiff nexus
vale mulch
#

what are "reference design cards"

fierce spindle
vale mulch
#

so it's literally just a synonym for founders edition

low nexus
#

mhm

#

founders edition is nvidia

#

reference edition amd

vale mulch
#

oh so thats just what they call it

#

reference cards just mean made by them and the founders edition is just the name nvidia calls their reference cards

low nexus
#

ig

vale mulch
#

wdym

low nexus
#

idk my brain is fried

vale mulch
#

its okii

#

i havent had as much time to do research but i should now

#

im still looking into AIB vs reference cards

#

which is better etc

low nexus
#

ah

vale mulch
#

this article calling me out rn

low nexus
#

they want your credit card info

vale mulch
#

lmao

low nexus
#

sometimes i just wanna dislocate my shoulder so it stops aching

vale mulch
#

same

low nexus
#

wait

#

its 5pm,

#

ive been trying to fix this phone for 4 hours

vale mulch
low nexus
#

oh my

vale mulch
#

i didnt know you could use just a heatsink

low nexus
#

yeah

#

passive cooling

vale mulch
#

so reference cards are always cheaper

low nexus
#

most of the time yea

vale mulch
#

seems like they have to be

#

due to the msrp

low nexus
#

reference cards are also a pain in the ass to troubleshoot

vale mulch
#

why

#

how would you know

#

extremely hard to take apart

vale mulch
#

why would you do that

low nexus
#

repasting

#

repadding the vrms

vale mulch
#

whats repasting

low nexus
#

putting new thermal paste on the gpu die

vale mulch
#

oh okay

#

whats repadding

low nexus
#

putting new thermal pads on the gpu

vale mulch
#

damn theres 2 things for thermal stuff

low nexus
#

yes

vale mulch
#

whats a die exactly

#

still confused about that

low nexus
#

its like the real cpu part basically

vale mulch
#

i thought a die was the size of a cpu pin and is basically a transistor

#

but ik thats gotta be wrong

low nexus
#

the die is the cpu

#

the metal part is the heatsink basically

#

but gpus do not need the metal part

#

so they can have direct die

vale mulch
#

so like ik what a cpu is

#

the tiny square pcbs

#

with a lid

#

is the die the whole cpu

#

or is it the lid

stiff nexus
#

The cpu is the die

#

The lid covers it

vale mulch
#

or is it the chip underneath the lid

low nexus
#

underneath the lid is where the die is

vale mulch
#

oh okay

stiff nexus
vale mulch
#

so is the die the whole pcb for the cpu or is it only a black box underneath the lid

low nexus
#

this is a delidded cpu, the metal part in the middle is the die

stiff nexus
#

This cpu shown has no lid

vale mulch
#

so not the whole pcb. not the lid. not the whole cpu.
its just a chip thing on the cpu

stiff nexus
#

Known as a delided cpu

vale mulch
#

does any other hardware have a die too?

low nexus
#

gpu

stiff nexus
#

Maybe some fancy ram?

low nexus
#

no

vale mulch
#

so just cpu and gpu then

low nexus
#

mhm

vale mulch
#

okay makes sense to me

low nexus
#

just the processing units

#

have dies

#

gpu= graphics processing unit
cpu= central processing unit

vale mulch
#

so like the cpu is the brains of the pc. but the chip inside hardware is the brains of the part

#

and in the case of cpu / gpu. the brains are called die which is a type of chip

stiff nexus
#

The chip is the cpu

low nexus
#

all of it is the cpu

stiff nexus
#

u can take off the lid and still call it a cpu

fierce spindle
vale mulch
#

i think thats another misnomer. people just call the cpu. the chip sometimes but its not actually a chip. it's like a chip for the pc. but a chip is just this i thought.

stiff nexus

@vale mulch you have a couple of options.

  1. Have micro center build your pc with a aio/cooler.
  2. Have micro center build a setup with a custom water tubing cooling system.
  3. Build it yourself with only an aio/cooler
vale mulch
#

those little black boxes

stiff nexus
#

I’d pick 1 if I was rich

vale mulch
#

whats an AIO again

low nexus
#

all in one

#

all in one liquid cooling

vale mulch
#

is it free for microcenter to build it

stiff nexus
#

It’s a small ac that pumps cold water to a block which u place on top of the cpu

low nexus
#

you have to pay

vale mulch
#

how much is it

low nexus
#

its prolly like 200 for ur build

vale mulch
#

oh okii

#

i think im just gonna build it tho

stiff nexus
vale mulch
#

why so much for custom water tubing lol

yours is the 24th

low nexus
#

lmao

vale mulch
#

lmao

low nexus
#

my spine just factory reset what the hell

vale mulch
#

ooo

low nexus
#

next person to paypal me £2.50 gets nothing in return

vale mulch
#

so it seems that AIBs are better than RCs

low nexus
#

mhm

vale mulch
#

but RCs are good for budget

low nexus
#

yeah

#

because aibs are more decked out

vale mulch
#

RCs basically have the same performance tho, but might be -0to5%

#

oh so RCs cant have any lighting usually

#

so if you want something custom and aesthetic. you should get an AIB

#

oh thank god. ive been stuck on this for so long

#

i guess now would be a good idea to talk about aesthetics and cosmetics

#

and theme stuff

#

what kind of aesthetic options are out there

#

i know lighting is one option

velvet falcon
#

lighting, shapeish, designs on card pretty much it

#

paint job

#

a lot of the time most designs dont even matter unless you mount your card vertically cause you dont see most the card lmao

i like this comment cause OP is literally just hinting at how he seems to want to overclock despite saying he doesnt want to overclock lol

yeah reference cards are ass

#

wow the rog strix is $2600 now

#

what does OC mean?

trim barn
vale mulch
#

ohhh

#

so like factory overclocked

trim barn
#

ye

vale mulch
#

meaning its plug in play

#

so its overclocked after i open it

trim barn
vale mulch
#

right out the box

#

okay cool. i dont have to set it up either?

#

like in BIOS

trim barn
#

no I have a strix 2060 oc also

#

though I am running it on the quiet mode, I could switch it to performance but I need the fans to not spin at times

trim barn
# vale mulch like in BIOS

on the strix and also tuf cards it has this little toggle switch for you to go between zero rpm mode (quiet) or performance where the fans just spin constantly

#

older stix cards

#

you'd have to restart your system for it to take effect

ive decided to go with choosing an AIB because reference cards are pretty much worse in every way except that they are cheaper and so offer better price / performance. on a GPU that is already overpriced, this does matter, but since it is a halo tier product, i don't really care.

#

i have it sorted by price. so the most expensive is at the top

#

what i am noticing right away is how AIB partners will literally make more than 1 GPU using the same chipset

#

these are all 4090s btw

fierce spindle
#

Now ur at the point u gonna have to decide if u go for full watercooled pc or if you want an air cooled gpu lol

vale mulch
#

damn i dont know about that stuff but yeah i do notice, that it would narrow my decision here

#

also overclocking decision

#

lets start with OC

#

okay so, i feel like building my first pc wouldnt make me feel like im a techie until i learn to overclock. so how do you overclock?

fierce spindle
#

To be honest: GPU is one of the most important parts, yes, true, but its also the one u can decide as very last part.
Its easy to replace, its compatible with any mobo anyway, you just need a power supply providibg enough power for ur full system

vale mulch
#

oh i understand

fierce spindle
#

So.. decide on ur other parts first, then decide if u go for watercooling, then decide on gpu

#

Is what I would do

trim barn
#

welp dream looks like you have the biggest thread out of this channel

vale mulch
#

once you choose the chipset as long as things are compatible you can make last minute decisions as long as you aree careful and switch it out for maybe a sonic 4090 or some shit

trim barn
#

micheal's was closed

vale mulch
#

mine will be closed after i post the build

pine totem
trim barn
#

but I think this one is more reasonable for what we are talkin about

vale mulch
#

i feel like all this would be a waste if people here didnt get to see the whole build

fierce spindle
#

Even the brand or series or gen of ur gpu doesnt rky matter. Anything will go

pine totem
vale mulch
#

so definitely going to make a social media post for this and then take build pics

#

its a big deal for me

trim barn
vale mulch
#

i also dont really celebrate any holidays so this is nice.

#

any aib partners i should stay away from?

fierce spindle
#

I feel like the day u decide to order the first part should be an official holiday

vale mulch
#

i had heard about how to never buy chinese or something

#

some of these look cute in white

#

idk why asus rog strix acts like they have the only white 4090 lmao

#

does anyone have the 4090 this time around

fierce spindle
#

@vale mulch forget about the gpu for now. Decide on the other stuff first. Once u know what kinda build you'll go for you can choose a gpu.
You can literally put a 10yo gpu in and it will work, you can put a cpu from the future in, it will work.
So yes: its an important part, but it will work regardless. Better to choose ur other parts first

vale mulch
#

also i feel like linus made a smarter investment with going the xtx, but i feel like long term the 4090 will do better than a amd gpu.

vale mulch
#

so my first time around, i was told to go in this order

#

cpu, mb, gpu.

narrow wagon
#

If you have an infinite budget go 4090

#

It’s just better

#

It’s the best

vale mulch
#

this time i skipped mb, and decided to choose gpu sort of 2nd.

#

so in this case lets get started with the mb

narrow wagon
#

I’m going Amd cus I have a budget

#

Motherboard go for an x670e

#

But not Asus

#

Anything but Asus

#

They have problems with 3d v cache

#

(X3d chips)

fierce spindle
#

Cpu, mobo, ram & cpu-cooler (for clearance), when u choose cpu cooler you know if ur going full watercooling or aio or air, then you can decide on gpu, then u know how much power u'll need and u can decide on PSU

narrow wagon
#

I would go custom water cooled

#

But it can take a lot of work to set up

#

Sometimes

vale mulch
#

i remember socket type is just compatability stuff for the cpu only right?
form factor is literally the size of the mb. so it determines which case you get right? so kind of case compatability stuff. they say its the shape, but idk why shape would matter at all especially over the size.
color rating price dont really matter.

fierce spindle
#

Storage u can choose once u know mobo

narrow wagon
#

Go for a 7950x3d and 4090

vale mulch
narrow wagon
#

Yeah

vale mulch
#

or is that just asus mbs? does this include asus gpus?

trim barn
narrow wagon
#

One of my friends bought an itx board for 500

#

🤦‍♂️

trim barn
narrow wagon
#

I got this deal

#

400 one

vale mulch
# fierce spindle Correct

so then the most important decision parts besides the compatability technicals would be the memory max and the slots?
is there anything else to consider and what exactly are memory max / slots

narrow wagon
#

Great deal

fierce spindle
#

Atx and E-Atx are kinda the standards and will usually be the best price for what they offer

narrow wagon
#

Yes

trim barn
narrow wagon
#

Yeah I got 7700x

fierce spindle
#

Smaller boards are usually more exoensive if you want the same stuff thats on rhe bigger brother

vale mulch
trim barn
#

but itx soo that build is coming one day once I figure out the gpu upgrade

#

then the custom loop

#

so one big adventure

#

plan yolo it hard tubing, and quick disconnects

narrow wagon
fierce spindle
#

But if u want a cute small build you want a smaller board. But i wouldnt advise that as a first build

vale mulch
#

ik that the atx is normal eatx is larger i think. and then theres a smaller atx i cant remember the name and then there is smaller than that called itx instead of a and itx is the same thing as mini itx or mitx

trim barn

I can toture myself very easily with builds

I can torture myself very easily reading over 5K posts in this thread 😂

trim barn
#

and whatever else you said

#

though the mitx and other sizes are not really common

#

asrock did something like that with threadripper

narrow wagon
trim barn
fierce spindle
#

I would suggest u go atx or e-atx for ur very first build. Just to get a feel and learning what to look out for. Once u went through that proces you can go yolo on the second build

vale mulch
#

and how do i find out which boards have which features

narrow wagon
#

More storage slots

#

More pcie slots

vale mulch
#

storage slots for like a hdd or ssd

narrow wagon
#

More rgb headers

narrow wagon
#

More usb headers

fierce spindle
#

Lets be honest.. 80% of most extra features are pretty useless and are just so they can ask a bigger price.

narrow wagon
#

Yep

vale mulch
#

i have heard of m2 being a special type of ssd that takes up like no space. it looks valuable to me

narrow wagon
#

Yep

trim barn
narrow wagon
#

And it’s extremely fast

vale mulch
#

i didnt even know there was more than one storage slot or more than one pci slot

narrow wagon
#

It’s hard to say

#

I have 4 pci slots in my mobo

trim barn
#

I still question my idea when I bought my msi b550 meg unify but the features on it sorta paid off now after 1.5 years

vale mulch
#

also is pci and pcie the same thing? im guessing pci is just a shorter hand phrase

if i come back to build a 2nd pc. it would take much less time now. this info doesnt just vanish from my brain
