#I am building my first PC ever

cause servers run 24 7 too huh
yeah
ive seen people with systems on for months on end
will heat spike for no reason
Yeah
depends
Depends
it can happen
There’s people who never turn theirs off and still runs fine
Nuh uh
if it does while left on for 24 7 could an increase in heat fry your chip
You have a pc not a server lol
how hot will my combo get
not very hot
what parts generate heat
cpu and gpu
air flow
all parts generate heat
Your room
cpu and gpu mostly tho
Are putting it together? Or having someone build it?
They work at walmart 
@vale mulch have you purchased anything yet?
they havent
I guess
But that ups or how havre it’s called is pretty damn nice
Didn’t know this existed
they are useful
They will never lol
oh well
24g vram omg 😂 play on ultra rtx with out any hinder
good for ai
This build is baller
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
Poor guy
Anyone else feeling as if this PC is never gonna be made 😂
It took me 3 years of dreaming and 6 months of making lists to get mine
Plus another 9ish months(I hope) to get a good monitor and gpu
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
Ye.
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
and for her its havent even been a week
so she's getting there
I still think we're just training some LTT pc AI bot here 😂
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 🤓
Pc case
I need one cause i be smoking mine
Since 14th gen is coming out,and maybe even news or release of a 4090ti soon, I can see parts being bought at around Black Friday,and the whole thing done by maybe Christmas
At least that’s what I’d do/kinda did
I think the 4090ti was cancelled
It’s rumored for the beginning of 2024
What about the 7950xtx
No idea
she said she couldnt wait a couple of month
Cheap place holder card
I hear that Used 3070’s are cheap nowadays
fr
im just scared about release day too
like if i wait all that time
and then it goes out of stock because of bots
within like 1 hour
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
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
cpus dont go out of stocks at release
this will be a brand new build from scratch so i think the 7950x3d works great here
stacked vcache nah
xtx is good. i know linus is going xtx. but tbh if im gonna spend $1000 for 4080 specs i would rather just get the 4090 for an extra $600
id 13900k 4090 otherwise
4090 ti will come out next year if it's not already cancelled
so its not just me, but jayztwocents also disliked the 13900k and this is because the 13900k is already a lower tier than the 7950x3d
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
- lga1700
- the bad performance / price it's a bad deal.
- poor efficiency relative to competition
stacked vcache = stupid
minor over all
reason i have a 7950 and a xtx combo
but lga1700 is a big no for me
money is whatever and i could look past the power draw and heat
okay
my advice
seasonic 1300 is more then yull need
64gb of the ddr5 patriot venom viper 6k or trident z neo
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
its also a bit overpriced but not as bad as the ks
im not too knowledgeable about ram
landcool 216 airflow
ram i have spent months tuning
Its a lian li case
debauer is a joke when it comes to timing
whats lian li mean
Its a brand
ik debauer hes that german guy
Lian li makes cases and fans
Fan hubs
but my ram timing and ram latency still lower and tighter
Overrated imo
whats ovverated
Lian Li
Fractal Design is the goat
I think they have good cases though
only lian li product ive ever got lmfao
i just want a pink case
oh shit yeah sorry read that
me n mgk colson go way back
and toleto is just by annarbor i frequent there
How about Fractal Design pop air?
toledo not so much lol
Its black and pink
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
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
why do cuda cores go to like 16k and cpu cores are like 4 lmao
cos cuda cores are literally just transistos
a core is about 1k transistors
cpus have way more complex things
it is its the way theyre arranged
i dont see who will buy a 5090 once it get out lol
this is gpus at least from nvidia
i make all diabetic people quiver in fear
how
i ate a whole pack of oreos in 2 minutes
diabetes speedrun
oreos aint that much
im opening another rn
also 5 kit kats]
yeah
but programs prefer diff brands
like fortnite runs shit on any amd card
it was made for nvidia
i eat gello
with ice cream in it without forgetting the gummies
a macdo nearby
people who wants the best
they exist
and thats why the 4090 got sold out after launch
but not the 4080
anyways
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
sam
smart access memory
ah yes
cpu get access to gpu memory
izk
what
i zont know
not a thing
really for 1-2% its not worth it lol
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
it is and its not 1-2 its more likw 10-15
its somes cap
SAM is a ripoff of rebar lol
for low cpu yes
especially for intel gpu
no even for a 7950x i tested it
whatever
resizeable bar
yes
if you have no clue abt rebar idk if you should reccomend shit to a first timer builder
rebar is literally necessary nowadays usually especially with arc gpus
rebar very useful
Yes, yes it is
What did i said?
i said i dont know
about rebar
im not saying you did im saying you shouldnt
ok
like you said it could add performant 10-15%, but it depends of the specs and 15% is the max it could give
for intel arc gpus it can give up to 50
yes but why are you talking of arc gpu?
because
i was talking about his system
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.
do you think a 7950x3d + 7900xtx will get + 10% ?
personaally i do not think so
a 7950x and 4090 got +5
ik cos that is my friends build i benchmarked
with and without resizable bar
ok do you think its far from 1-2% ?
ok
pc
+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
I need that, my gpu (or its fans, not sure yet) has a very annoying coil whine. But I am lazy
coil whine is another thing ive never had with power color
from 500 -700 series
7000
but i get all my part diferntly
Although I think my ears are horrible sooo yah
tinnitus?
I think I have it worse lol prob why I can handle coil whine and loud pcs
I dont mind a steady continuous sound. But on this GPU i bought u hear it once its at a certain load, but the pitch changes depending on how heavy the load is 🥲
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
eeeeeeeeeeeee moment
thats why i have loud fans
lol that is why I run 100% lo,l.
i was thinking of getting server grade 120mm 4000rpm 200 cfm molex fans
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
I have one lol 5300rpm
ive definitely narrowed it down to either the 4090 or the xtx
the 4080 is a horrible gpu. no reason to buy it
You do ai, you get nvidia
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
sorry can you say that again
Don’t go for amd it’s terrible of ai
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.
same but at the same time I can't really switch from them. I'm so use to editing on my macbook I forgot I used CUDA most of the time before so that is gonna be one thing keeping me in the loop
and as I mentioned in tech chat 1 in the morning my workflow does revolve around nvidia soooo I can't do much
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
nvidia has cuda cores.
theres seems to be more to cuda than just the name of the cores.
what is cuda in more details?
does amd not have cuda cores? i know they have like 10,000 less gpu cores
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

how did the 3080 get up there lmao
Magic
i probably shouldnt consider a last gen gpu
You should
especially anything less than 16 gb if im doing 4k streaming
and I use a 3070 which plows through my stuff without problem
maybe blackmagic braw becomes a problem sometimes but it is doable
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
Or intel and intel probably
Arc gpus basically NEED rebar to function
I am speed
How loud is that lmao
my portable ac beats it by a long shot
lol
so not too loud
but can be heard across the house
this would probably work.
also ive decided on 4090 for sure
just gotta pick an AIB now
what?
5000rpm server fan vs fingers which will win
yep and I have been hurt by that fan too before once
didn't have the fan grill on but I learned
makes sense
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
This has far too many comments
Good job on #1 comments
I really thought team Micheal would have had it for a while longer
nope it was a loosing battle
fast one
but at least we have 2 dominant threads
im sorry
its been a huge dream of mine tho since 2013.
i give up every time
this is the farthest ive ever gotten
hey and that is good, we're here to help
lol if you brought it to public chat it would be hell hole we chill
Bad idea
Never try public chat
There are literally 4 channels I look at here
Someone type one message
best achievement
rety?
The guy
Yeah
This has 4000+ messages, but what exactly has been decided upon?
lol
i dont want to read through it all
agreed, we are here to help
Almost CPU and almost what series GPU, but not if its gonna be air or water cooled 😀
oh no
what cant you decide
or is it people trying to lower the budget
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
Proxinus sinus
i think i am staying firm on 7950x3d and 4090
im just trying to decide now if i want a founders edition or a AIB
im learning about tensor cores right now
here is a list of most 4090 aib's
https://appuals.com/rtx-40-every-aib-gpu/
are AIBs better than founders edition
cause you would think partners would be worse than the OG
it depends on the card. some aibs will overclock the cards, others will massively overengineer the cooling solution
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
take msi for example, with their liquid supreme 4090. it has a 240mm radiator attached
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
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)
ive heard of water coolers
for like the whole tower
but not built into the gpu
is that correct
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
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
hehe looks to be a 240 so front intake it is on my case
why 9001 or 1337
first you should look up if the founders editions ones are still available
because i dont think they are
they're the first to be released and usually dont last long for the flagship products
uh no
bro 4090 coolers are overbuilt as is
AIO not custom tho itd be a disaster if custom
I wouldn’t bother with aio gpus
Uh no what?
watercooled 4090 shit
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
Depending on the case you buy it’s possible the gpu or cpu radiator will have to use warm exhaust air from the pc
Well it’s pny ofc it’s like that
its one of the thinnest /smallest 4090s
wait shit
its inno3d
lol
i could always buy used founders edition
Buying used at your budget is insane
Insane is too weak of a word
@vale mulch ur gonna custom water cool this whole thing
No ifs and buts
go big or go home lol
im not sure yet. idj anything about coolers
but im off for 2 days so im gonna do a bunch of research at 10
might fo my makeup tho
No lol "video ram"
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
Aren't I always lol
Oh
Same with the term gpu as it was used as a 2d rendering buffer and sometimes video dma. Then it transformed into 2d acceleration like cursor and sprites. Then 3d acceleration. Now what a 1980s and early 90s gpu would be called a VPU as it has no hardware acceleration.
Microcenter offers a custom water tubing thingy, where they do it all for u
Yes sir. That’s why I’m wasting my money on a 4090 and a mini led monitor
no
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)
you are
Lol
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
can confirm that if i currently was forced to overclock or delid a cpu, i will break it
i have no idea what im doing outside of knowing that those words exist
so that is why aioooo
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
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GeForce RTX 4090, Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower
no not nowadyays lol
is it harder now
wait wrong cpu
7800 is still good. definitely a much better price / performance
yes its more bios shenanigans but you can sak the board to automatcally overclock for you, it might be unstable or give diminishing resuts
yes i also added 10tb of ssds
cos yeah
and much better gaming than the 7950x. i wouldnt even recommend a 7950x to regular gamer people
why not
yeah and the 7800x3d is fine for cad and then the 4090 will never get bottlenecked
do you need a monitor too btw?
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
no botllenecks arent a thing scrap this if they are it depends a lot on games or use cases
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
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JWTNn6 heres a monitor too
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GeForce RTX 4090, Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower
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
tyy for all this
Might want to consider mini led too, but also quite expensive
Did u not read what I said next?
what are "reference design cards"
so it's literally just a synonym for founders edition
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
ig
wdym
idk my brain is fried
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
ah
they want your credit card info
lmao
sometimes i just wanna dislocate my shoulder so it stops aching
same
oh my
i didnt know you could use just a heatsink
most of the time yea
reference cards are also a pain in the ass to troubleshoot
extremely hard to take apart
why would you do that
whats repasting
putting new thermal paste on the gpu die
putting new thermal pads on the gpu
damn theres 2 things for thermal stuff
yes
its like the real cpu part basically
i thought a die was the size of a cpu pin and is basically a transistor
but ik thats gotta be wrong
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
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
or is it the chip underneath the lid
underneath the lid is where the die is
oh okay
The chip is kinda the die
so is the die the whole pcb for the cpu or is it only a black box underneath the lid
this is a delidded cpu, the metal part in the middle is the die
The lid is the thingy on the front.
The lid covers the chip which is on top of The die which is the small thingy on the chip
This cpu shown has no lid
so not the whole pcb. not the lid. not the whole cpu.
its just a chip thing on the cpu
Known as a delided cpu
does any other hardware have a die too?
gpu
Maybe some fancy ram?
no
so just cpu and gpu then
mhm
okay makes sense to me
just the processing units
have dies
gpu= graphics processing unit
cpu= central processing unit
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
The chip is the cpu
all of it is the cpu
u can take off the lid and still call it a cpu
The PCB's and cards they send out to partners are also called reference design cards.
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.
@vale mulch you have a couple of options.
- Have micro center build your pc with a aio/cooler.
- Have micro center build a setup with a custom water tubing cooling system.
- Build it yourself with only an aio/cooler
those little black boxes
I’d pick 1 if I was rich
whats an AIO again
is it free for microcenter to build it
It’s a small ac that pumps cold water to a block which u place on top of the cpu
you have to pay
how much is it
its prolly like 200 for ur build
750 ish for a custom water tubing. 200 ish for an aio, and like 150 ish for just a heatsink
why so much for custom water tubing lol
i have those
hands
i want a fishnet shirt so bad
It’s fun (I was sick while building it so it took me 3 days.a whole day was spent trying to connect my aio to my case )
Lol the lazy me not wanting to turn on my pc so instead I just whip out laptop and chill on it for a couple hours
Yo same.
I’m a man so I don’t have much fashion sense,but no.
i say yes
I think it’s hard.
must be over 35 years
old man
I wish
"back in my day"
no way you are 26 or younger
Hehe
i bet they are 14
proceeds to open steam, but rememebrs non of the games in my libaray work on mac os
I’d rather #%^#}%% myself than to be 14 again
ah so ur 19
lmao
maybe 15
drop an age reveal
opens my laptop, then I realize the only game I can play on on this shitty thing is Minecraft(I then play for 15 hours)
age reveal
Kinda funny on how wrong y’all are
70
proof
My body feels like I’m that
ah ur 25
8 digit birthday rn
i cant count past 5 whats that
Dream,how does this ai thing of urs work,and what does it even do?
mine is 05191997
this sounds very close to a phone number lmao
are you a taurus
oh so april
mhm
april 22nd
2 days off
nuh uh
my bad
lmao
lmao
my spine just factory reset what the hell
ooo
next person to paypal me £2.50 gets nothing in return
mhm
but RCs are good for budget
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
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
this post became its own chat atp 💀 almost 5k messages in an hour
there are 2 threads that are it's own so haha
Michael pc already have many parts
bonjour
The difference is that dream is learning about the components, not just building.
Bonjour
Eh
No that literally is the difference
Eh, whats the point youre tryna make? Im just saying that Michael pc already has more parts
The difference between dream’s pc (which hasn’t begun to be purchased), and Michael’s (which has many parts purchased), is the fact that dream is trying to learn all about the components, while Michael is just buying them, because he already knows about them.
Just needs a second to think before pulling the trigger

Yeah
Michael just see sum he like, and he buy
what about stickers
whats a chat atp
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
whatever
yeah reference cards are ass
founders edition is ass
wow the rog strix is $2600 now
what does OC mean?
overclocked
ye

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
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
Rule n°1
?
Do not talk about fight club
the most monster PC that you build this year will be handily beat by a midrange PC in 3 years. if you want monster performance forever get geforce now.
Performance, yes.
Worste latency ever, also yes
I also dont think u can use ur monitor to its full potential.. or even half of its potential.. or even 25% of its potential.
It sucks rly hard actually 😂
Geforce now ass
i dont have fashion sense either and im 21
Pcs in 2023 ass
Compared to the 80's and 90's they are now cheap af for what u get.
Its all contextual 🤓
🤓 money from before and now arent the same
Exactly why
I game on a raspberry pi
Nuh uh
No more gpu?
Plan changed
I see
I forgot about school sadly
Based
TempleOS
so this website sucks. these reviews dont over valuable insight for me, but also this is all the AIBs i could find.

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
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
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?
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
oh i understand
So.. decide on ur other parts first, then decide if u go for watercooling, then decide on gpu
Is what I would do
welp dream looks like you have the biggest thread out of this channel
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
micheal's was closed
mine will be closed after i post the build
Yeah dunno why
but I think this one is more reasonable for what we are talkin about
i feel like all this would be a waste if people here didnt get to see the whole build
Even the brand or series or gen of ur gpu doesnt rky matter. Anything will go
Maybe cause that Guy went insane and started talking about some devious thing about mickey mouse
so definitely going to make a social media post for this and then take build pics
its a big deal for me
go for it. big moment deserves a spotlight
i also dont really celebrate any holidays so this is nice.
any aib partners i should stay away from?
I feel like the day u decide to order the first part should be an official holiday
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
@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
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.
this is a good idea actually.
so my first time around, i was told to go in this order
cpu, mb, gpu.
this time i skipped mb, and decided to choose gpu sort of 2nd.
so in this case lets get started with the mb
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)
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
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.
Storage u can choose once u know mobo
Yup
Correct
Go for a 7950x3d and 4090
i have heard SOOO many people having trouble with asus
Yeah
or is that just asus mbs? does this include asus gpus?
asus frying am5 chips lol
welcome to itx where shits just expensive regardless
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
is this just for ram stuff
Atx and E-Atx are kinda the standards and will usually be the best price for what they offer
Yes
def I was looking at the 7900x one lol
Yeah I got 7700x
Smaller boards are usually more exoensive if you want the same stuff thats on rhe bigger brother
ive researched a bit about form factor
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
I had a 7600x and a b650m DS3H for 300 but then I returned it cus I would be paying the same price for a better mobo and cpu
But if u want a cute small build you want a smaller board. But i wouldnt advise that as a first build
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
third pc build ha so I am use to this
But she isnt 🤓
I can toture myself very easily with builds
eatx, atx, matx, itx
yes i heard about this with itx and decided not to go itx because its my first build and i got scared, but part of me is kind of up for the challenge so i still want to consider it i just dont know the drawbacks
I can torture myself very easily reading over 5K posts in this thread 😂
and whatever else you said
though the mitx and other sizes are not really common
asrock did something like that with threadripper
The drawbacks are less features cus you can’t fit a lot on an itx board
and that is where asus started building up lol
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
so aside from all the stats that matter which is basically just the mem max and slots.
another thing to consider is the "features" what are those exactly
and how do i find out which boards have which features
storage slots for like a hdd or ssd
More rgb headers
Lets be honest.. 80% of most extra features are pretty useless and are just so they can ask a bigger price.
Yep
i have heard of m2 being a special type of ssd that takes up like no space. it looks valuable to me
Yep
yep and most people don't use it unles you are in that catagory
And it’s extremely fast
i was about to say. like what is the normal / standard # of features
i didnt even know there was more than one storage slot or more than one pci slot
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
also is pci and pcie the same thing? im guessing pci is just a shorter hand phrase
Dont worry too much about them. Unless u have specific needs like 10 hdd or 12 rgb-strips or 5 m.2 slots
Oh god how in the shit is this thread still going
it wil be alive until the pc is built.
I don’t actually know but I think e stands for express
You'll need like an x670 board for that
im on mb right now
Pci is a different connector than pci-e
cpu is done and dusted
Peripheral component interconnect express is the full name
Just find one that says x670e
Same with gpu
Thanks
No
gpu is basically done, just choosing the proper AIB towards the end
They want the best of the best tho
might as well turn that pc into a NAS if you really going 10+hdds
Unless she wants like a lot of ssds
or more then 2
Bro but b650 is the same lol
I mean
ive learned so much. i never even thought id be capable of.
A x670e might hold up for longer with pcie 5.0
Jus no
Really?
Also x670 has like 8 more pcie lanes
haha welcome to the knowledge we hold.
5.0 is and won't be relevant for a long time unless tech is like quantum pcs
if i come back to build a 2nd pc. it would take much less time now. this info doesnt just vanish from my brain
We have quantum pcs
They will be public in like 10 years
At most
Ik but I'm talking at home
Not unless you want a fucking cold room
True
so im guessing the 670 is the big halo tier motherboard lol
These things have to be kept at the perfect temp
Yes
pc next to window ac 
Not really but
X670-e is the best
I'll give her a dual x670 board
650 will be just fine though
when I move my setup the plan is to toss my pcs intake next to the window ac
whats a NAS?
Network attach storage
That’s what I’m doing
It’s for servers
And large amounts of storage
It’s also one of the best rappers of all time
Dual x670
Not Asus tho
They can like blow up 3d vcache cpus
i saw the other linus tech ytber basically ruin his build with an asus mb
Sometimes
That's the Rog ones and only if you overclock
he's not LTT
And they fixed it lol
Jaytwocents
but he basically went the same route im going
But jtc cut them off for it
Yeah that board is amazong
YES HIM
should someone make one in tech support
