switch to the phantom spirit instead of the peerless assassin
#PC Part List Guidance. AUD$4000 budget.
solid drift
it has one extra heat pipe and slightly improves performance while also somehow being cheaper
any reason for the 4tb ssd?
solid drift
depending on needs could save a little and go for an ironwolf
solid drift
Man's got the funds for local storage + the NBN is dogshit
yea if he does it’s fine i’m jus saying
if he’s let’s say gonna store a large amount of files that he’s gonna barely access
lavish holly
When all these games nowadays wanting SSD storage what's the point of an ironwolf anyway
solid drift
for longevity’s sake an hdd is better
solid drift
When all these games nowadays wanting SSD storage what's the point of an ironwol...
if it’s games then an ssd is better yea
but then
why distinguish a 4tb and 1tb
we aren’t in the old ages of getting an os ssd and a barracuda for games
solid drift
why distinguish a 4tb and 1tb
just keep the 4tb nv2 it’s not a bad ssd
or a 4tb mp44l
lavish holly
Don't think I saw a 4TB 44L
solid drift
maybe au type shi
lavish holly
Yeah he's an Aussie
solid drift
it’s available in the us
lavish holly
now I wonder
solid drift
also idk about how trident performs
lavish holly
we have over 500 spare now of the 4000
solid drift
compared to t-force
lavish holly
can we go a tier up on the GPU
solid drift
can we go a tier up on the GPU
exactly
lavish holly
compared to t-force
I think the aim is RGB at this point
solid drift
I think the aim is RGB at this point
t-force has rgb?
lavish holly
"Man's" a femboy after all, they like that cutesy shit
solid drift
comes in white black and is still 6000 cl30
has good die selection iirc
i’ve never looked into tridents tho so idk
lavish holly
Yeah I'm not seeing anything
lavish holly
well we aren't going to do 4x16GB
solid drift
then trident is the best option for a 2.32
solid drift
well we aren't going to do 4x16GB
ofc ofc
lavish holly
Have heard of channel instabilities in DDR5
solid drift
Have heard of channel instabilities in DDR5
quad has been an issue for a while yea best to avoid it
lavish holly
So there's the problem, he says 4000 AUD
Even being reasonable you can't even break 3500-3600
solid drift
Even being reasonable you can't even break 3500-3600
yep same issue in usd
had someone ask me for a 20k build once lmao
usd btw
lavish holly
All I can think to do now is consider stuff that will run in 0db mode
solid drift
nah don’t bother
lavish holly
If we can't push it anymore
solid drift
just focus on saving money
solid drift
you never need to spend more than what’s needed
solid drift
Silent operation
perhaps an lf3?
idk if the case can fit top mount 360
i know pop air can
lavish holly
Lancool? Definitely
I've got the 2nd gen lancool, things a fucking monster of a case
solid drift
alr fs fs
yea then maybe add an lf3
more rgb for him
fans prolly daisy chain as well iirc so don’t worry about fan hub
lavish holly
fans prolly daisy chain as well iirc so don’t worry about fan hub
No the ones on the Lian Li case don't, they aren't the unifans you are thinking of
And it costs AUD$15, practically nothing
solid drift
No the ones on the Lian Li case don't, they aren't the unifans you are thinking ...
what no
do you know what lf3 is
lavish holly
No?
solid drift
liquid freezer 3
lavish holly
Oh, the cooler?
solid drift
arctic fans are usually pst
lavish holly
The 7900X3D was only AUD$40 more so why the hell not
solid drift
But not the case fans?
idk if the case fans are pst
again i know pop air has pst case fans
i’ve personally worked with the pop air
lavish holly
The front fans are RGB, the rear is a standard fan
solid drift
So fan controller is still worth
yea i mean if the case fans don’t need them just return it no harm in buying it
lavish holly
But I'm sure tha Lancool isn't Unifan stuff
solid drift
no im not talking about unifans
that’s completely different
i’m saying that cables are chainable
there’s on female side and one male side on one cable
lavish holly
perhaps an lf3?
Multiple reddit threads says it's hot garbage

Multiple reddit threads says it's hot garbage

either way phantom spirit is a solid and safe pick
no doubting that
lavish holly
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/liquid-cooling/thermalright-frozen-notte-and-aqua-elite-360-white-v3-review
they are creaming themselves over thermalright though
solid drift
thermalright deserves all the nut
lavish holly
and that's sub AUD$100
solid drift
ever since peerless assassin and tl12c
solid drift
and that's sub AUD$100
yea but i don’t know how it fares against ps120
better to be safe than sorry
i also don’t like giving green lights on things i’m not sure of
lavish holly
So it's either noise or price/performance
"Acoustically, the water cooler is not a strong performer"
the fuck is Steve on about, it's even quieter than the PA
No brainer then
I think that's it
We really cannot push it any further than that
Somehow the final list is AUD$54 than the starting list
How the fuck

get the 7800x3d instead of a 7900x3d (the 7900x3d is only cheaper because it's a majorly poor seller so they've had to reduce it's price, it also has the issue of poor scheduling when it comes to gaming use) and the nv2 4tb absolutely sucks especially as it's a qlc nand drive the 4tb mp44l is a massively better ssd
