and in many places now, even in the US (the places worth living) gig internet is the default thanks to fiber

#

you can't get worse unless you go out of your way to do it

#

as for 590 vs 5500, the 5500 is a cut down card even if newer gen, it should generally edge it out barely

vapid folio Dec 28, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

Ah okay

astral talon Dec 28, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

to make things simpler 1070 is generally quicker than 2060 even if older gen.

fleet canopy Dec 28, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

It's basically a 580 or a 590 with GDDR6 instead of GDDR5

astral talon Dec 28, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

with the 5500xt it has anemic and bad 128bit bus found on lower end cards

#

590 has a full fat 256bit bus

fleet canopy Dec 28, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

Yeah

astral talon Dec 28, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

so even if they both have the same cores, same clocks, same VRAM

fleet canopy Dec 28, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

So pretty much always go for the 5500XT if you're thinking of getting something similar to 580

#

Because it's the same price

astral talon Dec 28, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

a 256bit bus will shit all over a 128bit bus

#

generally if you're looking at cards the newer generations cards trade blows with the older generations cards that were one tier above but do not beat them unless the games require a newer feature set

#

580 or 590 to a 5500 is NOT an upgrade, it's a side grade that will often perform worse

#

just as gtx 1070 to RTX 2060 is a side grade. It will perform worse in RTX games but better in games that need more VRAM or memory bandwidth

remote horizon Dec 28, 2019, 5:28 AM

if you want a real upgrade from a rx570, a 2060 super or 5700 (non xt) are really good mid range cards

ahh sorry

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

is cool. I appreciated the feed back.

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

but it runs thoose games if your wondering

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

Yeah if its for work and or college / studying and gaming combined

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

thats more than what she need, i wonder if she would be into autoworlds but at least she can look into something a little more demanding if she wants

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

Then a Laptop is a good choice but otherwise i think its just not smart to go for a gaming laptop under 1000

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

ohh its a great game

#

yeah but gaming desktops can be a pain some times

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

Why not just get her a console?

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

@dusty pumice i feel you buts is her choice, as saucy said destops are not for everyone. I love my pc but i play everything so i need the power.

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

Im not only talking about desktops

#

Im just trying to think about a good alternative

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

she has a ps4

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

I mean if she wants to go for a gaming laptop why dont you guys just safe up a bit more money

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

dont you think it would be wasting money for someone that is casual on pc gaming

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

Ofcourse

#

thats why i would recommend a console or tablet or ipad over a gaming laptop

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

so wouldnt a laptop be a nice middleground

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

Even a phone would be better

#

So many casual games that can be played there

#

these days

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

uhh yea but you cant play most games on a phone

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

i appreciated the opinion but cant say i fallow your logic

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

Not the ones she wants no

#

but she can do it on a console

#

but is simply to lazy to move it to the other room or doesnt have a big enough monitor or tv there?

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

plus (no ofense) but mobile games are trash

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:26 PM

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:26 PM

their filed to the brim with ads and their all the same

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

Honestly a console is just as easily moved as a laptop

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

right but ts a console

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

Yeah?

#

If she waits a couple of years she can go wild on the game streaming services

warped tendon Dec 28, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

I think is just a difference of opinions, still thanks for the info guys

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Where all companys are investing big money into now

#

Maybe it is but i stil think its kinda a waste of money to go on and buy a cheaper laptop which can have alot of problems in the future

dense cosmos Dec 28, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

my bother has had that laptop for like 2 years now and it runs like a gem

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

Yeah if you do some decent research you can find some pretty good ones

#

Maybe @abstract kite or @fleet canopy can help out with this laptop question

@warped tendon Wants help with advice for buying a laptop @abstract kite

OH okay

#

Whats the budget and intended use @warped tendon?

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 6:38 PM

$1000 or 1000 euro

Just read it back

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

Gotcha

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

He basicly said spending more than the 1000 is kinda a waste of money but the his girlfriend or she already has a console and wants to play games around the house/ on the couch

#

thats basicly the story

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but gaming laptops have terrible battery life.

However, I have something that might fit your need @warped tendon

This one would be sufficient, but the screen can only produce 63% of sRGB. If she’s picky about colors, then you’re going to have a hard time finding a laptop that can game decently and look amazing for $1K. 63% sRGB isnt bad, it’s just not optimal either.

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Type-R7-3750H-GeForce-TUF505DU-EB74/dp/B07QQB6DC1

#

This is a really good deal for the specs

#

Ryzen 7, GTX 1660ti, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD

#

You really cant beat that at that price range

radiant garnet Dec 28, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

@abstract kite How's the cooling?

#

Is the SSD and HDD replaceable?

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

Idle is 39C GPU and 38C CPU. Max temps (stress tested) 83C GPU, 85C CPU. Thats average for gaming laptops.

Yes, the drives are replaceable. I wouldnt have recommended it if they werent.

#

Any other questions?

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

is that anti dust cooling normal now in those kind of laptops?

#

or is it something they like to flaunt with

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

Yea its a thing

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 7:08 PM

i havent really kept up with the laptop world tbh

Really a gimmick

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 7:09 PM

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

so it looks like a gimmick lol

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

its marketing

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

Yea

#

Feels like they spend alot of time anyway on marketing for gaming laptops

abstract kite Dec 28, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

And what you get vs what you pay, I cant justify buying a gaming laptop for myself

dusty pumice Dec 28, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

Neither

merry bay Dec 28, 2019, 7:10 PM

If there's ever problems like that because of drivers I think it helps to just use DDU to uninstall and wipe all registry keys related to them, and fresh install from that point

@abstract kite thanks so much! had to step away for a while. I really appreciate the advice

Hey peeps, I have an asus pg27uq monitor that is now starting to exhibit strange behavior. I've had it for a few weeks now and it's been amazing but just a few minutes ago it randomly shut off completely. I managed to get it back on and noticed the fans were going full speed and were much louder than normal, then after about a minute it shut down again. Would this be some kind of safety shut down to prevent over heating? I've had my computer running for about 10 hours doing various things. I've never experienced this before with a monitor

wanton crystal Dec 29, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

what all were you doing to "heat" it

#

because monitors generally don't get hot unless you overclock them

vapid crypt Dec 29, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

The monitor shutdown, and the fans of your system went full speed?

remote horizon Dec 29, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

sounds like graphics card issue to me

copper zealot Dec 29, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

Yea, i would stick the the graphics card or power supply on this one

#

If the card is not getting sufficient power or going out, it could cause this. Generally in system the power supply is the first thing to go vs a graphics card unless you are getting constant power abuse aka surges and shut downs from unforseen circumstances

icy estuary Dec 29, 2019, 3:03 AM

#

No like the monitor itself completely cut it's own power. It turned off and would not turn on. The computer itself was running fine. The power LED on the monitor wasnt lit, nor any other lights on it

#

The monitor was plugged into a power strip with surge protection (the only thing on the strip that was running) but I just took it off and connected it straight to an outlet to see if that will change anything. The monitor turned on fine now but idk what could have suddenly changed to cause this

#

GPU is a 2080ti that's run perfectly fine while I've had it for the past 4-5 months

#

But to answer your question @vapid crypt the monitors fans went full speed before it cut power. PC fans were acting normal

vapid crypt Dec 29, 2019, 3:08 AM

#

Oh I wasn't aware they were putting fans into monitors, must be a high end thing

icy estuary Dec 29, 2019, 3:11 AM

#

~$1600 that can overclock. I'm well aware there are better things I could have put that money towards 😂😭😭

#

But before it cut power the second time, I felt the air blowing out of the vents and ot wasnt really warm at all

vapid crypt Dec 29, 2019, 3:12 AM

#

Have you overclocked it past its refresh rate that it says it can clock to?

#

And if it really isn't an overheating issue it could be a power issue with the monitor itself phaSheva

icy estuary Dec 29, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

Nope. The highest normal clock is 120 which is what I have it set to, the overclock is to 144hz but I've never needed it to go that high so far. I was just thinking it might be a power supply issue which sounds about right considering what is happening

any thoughts?

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 7:55 AM

@vivid sandal Maybe add some more information next time what CPU are you using instead of only giving us the information about the cooling you want to switch too

vivid sandal Dec 29, 2019, 7:55 AM

#

oh right

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 7:55 AM

And what is the maximum amount of the budget?

You are willing to spend

Like this cooler can make even a good looking case

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

I mean i would recommend to just go with some of the better known brands and if you really want that RGB flair you can always switch out the fans but its going to go over your budget

fleet canopy Dec 29, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

Look like total shit

Get like

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 8:05 AM

I honestly dont know much about RGB coolers and cant really recommend one because i dont know any

fleet canopy Dec 29, 2019, 8:05 AM

#

You can just get like, the Hyper Evo 212 and put in the RGB fans

#

I can't recommend one either, haven't really seen any good ones probably except those thermaltake ones

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 8:05 AM

#

Yeah that fits within budget too

#

even if you have to buy one RGB fan

vivid sandal Dec 29, 2019, 8:06 AM

pretty much anything is better then the stock one i have

been trying to find an equivalent but nothing seems to be listed

120mm?

Depending on your BIOS, your 3600 could be getting too much voltage.

Either a) your mobo has no idea what to do with the processor

Ryzen master lets you monitor your voltages, CPU temps, and much more. it's also the most accurate reading of your processor. AIDA64 is the fuck all beast of a stress test on your PC. nothing will ever hit your processor as hard as AIDA64. This will give you a worse case scenario of your temps and voltages

#

For instance, in Prime95 I never get over 68C on my 3700X. In AIDA64 I get murdered at 76-78C.

#

It's purely a synthetic, unrealistic test for finding the worst of the worst.

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

Yeah you should never be able to hit those numbers while gaming

abstract kite Dec 29, 2019, 8:27 AM

#

I hit around 65C-67C in gaming.

#

So prime95 is a good real world test

vivid sandal Dec 29, 2019, 8:28 AM

#

am running cpuid HW monitor

abstract kite Dec 29, 2019, 8:28 AM

#

The 3600's TJ max is 95C (same as my 3700X). You shouldn't hit that at all. If you download both and your temps and voltages are bad, then I would think it could be a bad PSU.

#

CPUID is a bad system for Ryzen

Download the software I linked above @vivid sandal

Open Ryzen master to monitor

#

Run AIDA64 and stress test the CPU, FPU, and cache.

#

Closely check your voltages and temps.

#

Unless you're hitting around 85C immediately, let the test run for 10 minutes to get a good average.

Your processor is fine on voltages

I don't think temps are the issue for what you're doing. however, you may want to invest in a better cooler.

Are you sure your BIOS is on the newest version?

yup

the one i have is the only one for this motherboard

i have a screen grab

abstract kite Dec 29, 2019, 9:06 AM

Ah okay

#

From the information I've gathered, it's not your motherboard or processor (unless there's one thing I haven't checked) that's causing the issue.

#

How old is your power supply, and what is the wattage and 80plus rating?

dusty pumice Dec 29, 2019, 9:08 AM

#

I would suggest just buying a good cooler and you can always take it with you into the next system you will buy or build yourself

#

These coolers usually stay pretty good quality and not much can happen with them

abstract kite Dec 29, 2019, 9:08 AM

^ that was my second solution

vivid sandal Dec 29, 2019, 9:08 AM

it came stock with the rig

abstract kite Dec 29, 2019, 9:09 AM

The stock cooler is sufficient for most tasks but abysmal in higher loads

I would recommend a Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4

abstract kite Dec 29, 2019, 9:09 AM

it's one of the beefiest coolers on the market, and you won't have to upgrade coolers when/if you move to a heftier CPU.

because of the motherboard backplate looks so far pushed to the front

Looking at the original phanteks case and the Dark Rock 4 which is 159mm tall is a super tight fit. The DRP4 is 163mm tall

thats within his budget then

And if you have enough room there + if you are willing to spend more and going over the budget of the $50

hey chineese guy, hitting your oc is not always gonna happen, I have a i9 clocked to 5ghz but only one or two cores can actually hit it, thus leaving it to only clock to 4,8

merry bay Dec 29, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

That's normal as far as I know. Getting all cores needs higher power limits and is usually not worth the trouble.

#

While the Dark Rock Pro 4 works great, RAM clearance is painfully close. I think the fan is resting on top of the RAM at all times. And only fits around the most outer slots. I'm looking to get 2 extra modules for that sweet 32GB and I'm certain the fan will be in the way.

vapid crypt Dec 29, 2019, 1:01 PM

#

@abstract kite I've heard a lot of people reporting the boost clock not being met on Ryzen, but tbh its all marketing. If the CPU can hit 4.4 on a single core for 3 seconds, that's basically within spec. So clocks are gonna vary a lot. Still I think when it comes to an all core average it should be higher than 4.1; but it could also depend on the typical load.

merry bay Dec 29, 2019, 1:03 PM

#

I've thought about either getting the second pair of RAM without RGB or try shaving out part of the plastic fan frame.
Could also do some tests with moving the fan to the other side. Didn't think about that tbh.

I will never again buy ryzen cause it might be cheaper but sure does run hotter than anything else and I like intel, I've just made the mistake of buying the cheaper ones

Looking back at history, and seeing just how small the Navi die is, and how well it does with a tiny memory bus, the next generation could be very interesting indeed. That is, if AMD chooses to compete on price.

I'd even argue that if the real price of the 5700 and xt was 200 and 300, it would sell out everywhere.

merry bay Dec 29, 2019, 5:16 PM

Of course it would, it competes with the 2070 super, neither of which you'd find for 200-300

In performance, sure. But in price, the 5700xt matches the 2060s

merry bay Dec 29, 2019, 5:18 PM

It really is a great value and card. A lot of people still feel uneasy going with team red for GPU's though. There's history of odd bugs or worse performance only possible for them. However rare they might be, people still overpay to avoid them.

radiant garnet Dec 29, 2019, 5:20 PM

People fear the 'devil they know' much less than a devil they don't... Nvidia isn't bug free either. Windows is one thing; from what I can tell, it's mostly the same, good as bad.

Looks like it didn't turbo past it's base clocks. I would go into the bios and see if you can manually overclock it. Alternatively you can overclock with Intel's program "extreme tuning utility". It's possible certain settings are preventing it from boosting

Auto oc can be unreliable. There are even cases where auto oc gives worse performance
