Supreme bullshit will just suck the heat away.

#

No heat.

median moon
#

just redirect the heat to your mixtape

vapid crypt
#

But that's HOT FIRE

median moon
#

there's a reason why rappers use i9s

Just stand Intel’s CEO next to the CPU.

median moon
#

oh yeah

fleet canopy
#

God DAMN

tall ore
#

That fire under his ass just keeps getting hotter.

fleet canopy
#

That's HOT

#

Get NVIDIA's CEO as well

#

Make it H O T

tall ore
#

Lmao.

median moon
#

jeff bezos ?

vapid crypt
#

Jensen "It just works" Huang

fleet canopy
#

Make it a fucking nuclear reactor

median moon
#

have him build an amazon warehouse next to the cpu

tall ore
#

Wait.

#

Get Todd “Sixteen times the detail” Howard in here.

#

Really dangerous.

median moon
#

Hey, you.

fleet canopy
#

Sixteen times the detail

median moon
#

You're finally awake.

vapid crypt

See that mountain?

#

You can climb it PirateSimon

Everything just works.

Why is my discord audio really quiet? I have all audio settings up at the max and I can barely hear them saying anything

fleet canopy
#

Have you increased the uhh

#

User volume?

#

Or are you talking about

#

Yeah I'm not sure

#

You do mean on PC, yeah?

sage flume
#

Check volume mixer

#

Might be super low

fleet canopy
#

If it doesn't work

#

Get VoiceMeeter

crisp sage
#

VoiceMeeter banana is good, it can make a headset mic sound better

fleet canopy
#

I use regular voicemeeter because meh lol

#

I could try exploring the other programs though, might be worth a try if it is pretty good

#

I don't use voicemeeter for the mic though, it just acts as a fucking joke for some reason

crisp sage
#

Yeah especially on startup

#

I can make my 150 dollar mic sound almost studio quality

fleet canopy
#

Think I should switch out the stock DRP4 fans with a custom? Like 2 noctua fans?

median moon
#

yes

#

automatically yes

#

more ventilation is always better

fleet canopy
#

Alr, time to figure out what dimension the fans should beeee

#

One of it being a 120mm, and another a 135mm

#

Well then

#

Any choices on SSD?

#

Am thinking of getting a pretty good M.2

median moon
#

what are you using it for

#

boot or general storage

fleet canopy
#

Gonna use one for boot, and one for general

median moon
#

there's a really nice Kingston drive i'm using in my build for boot

#

250gb, NVME, only around $40

fleet canopy
#

I already have a 1TB SSD, but I might get myself another 1TB since I did hit near 1TB about a few times

#

Currently like 98.5GB lol

median moon
#

yikes

#

yeah if you've got the dosh i'd just get another 1tb

fleet canopy
#

Well they're getting cheaper at least

median moon
#

thankfully

fleet canopy
#

Lol I was gonna ask about the PCIe SSDs until I noticed the price

#

They're like the first SSDs all over again

#

Fucking expensive as hell

#

So I'm gonna assume M.2 2280 is the best I can get

median moon
#

most likely

fleet canopy
#

I've seen many recommend the intel 660p series

median moon
#

LoL iNtEl BaD!!1!1!11 /s

fleet canopy
#

Hah

median moon
#

i'm not too inclined towards SSDs due to their price, i'm already being stretched thin with my CPU/GPU

#

thusly, barracuda compute is a godsend

fleet canopy
#

You can pick up a regular SSD of 1TB for like

median moon
#

2TB for $50 is insane

fleet canopy
#

70-80$ I guess

#

2TB for 50$? Damn

median moon
#

it was $20 at one point

#

on amazon

fleet canopy
#

What the fuck

#

250 or 500GB for SSD?

median moon
#

250 if you're going for boot

#

for storage, i'd just get a 1TB. sounds like you need it

fleet canopy
#

Well, I could try figuring out how to transfer the program files to another drive again

median moon
#

🤷‍♂️

fleet canopy
#

Seems Samsung 970 Evo Pro is the fastest I could get...?

median moon
#

yeah, the samsung SSDs are louisiana fast

fleet canopy
#

Indeed

#

Trying to find the fastest one atm lol

#

The plus version of the 970 Evo M.2 is like 70$ cheaper than the non pro kek

#

Guess it's still having a bit of a sale

#

Usually average same price on both though

median moon
#

vantablack friday

fleet canopy
#

Vantablack friday

#

Whatever imma go with it lol

Hm

median moon

fleet canopy

Hm

median moon
#

hm

fleet canopy
#

Hm

median moon
#

hm

fleet canopy
#

Got any recommendations for cases?

median moon
#

depends

#

mATX or no

fleet canopy
#

100$ or lower, going with ATX

median moon
#

NZXT is always safe, nice built in case fans, room, good cable management, USBs in the front

#

also rocks the white and black super well

fleet canopy
#

Indeed so

#

But I prefer black

median moon
#

such can be done

fleet canopy
#

Seems to have some bit of airflow problems from the reviews, but eh

median moon
#

shouldn't be too much of an issue as long as you run good internal cooling

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

I'll just throw in noctua fans, I'm not very much of an RGB person lol

median moon
#

noctua best

#

D15?

fleet canopy
#

I have a DRP4, but gonna switch out the cooler fans for noctuas, then find some regular black noctuas or just get regular tan/brown lol

median moon
#

nice

fleet canopy
#

Don't have anything of use to upgrade with, so I'm just getting together another part list so I can finish it off with a better PC

median moon
#

understandable

fleet canopy
#

Funny how having 36Hz more higher than a 1080p 144hz will rise that price to 350$

#

Fucking ridiculous

median moon
#

⚠️

fleet canopy
#

I saw it on sale for 250$ recently, so I'm gonna wait for one I guess lol

abstract kite
#

Mayo uhh...

The DRP4 middle fan is 130mm

#

Its an oddball size

#

idk if you’ll find a replacement easily

fleet canopy
#

I saw it as 135mm on a review though kek

abstract kite
#

Maybe its that

fleet canopy
#

The middle fan can just be switched out with a 120mm,

abstract kite
#

Fair

fleet canopy
#

The holdy rods works for 120/135mm I believe

median moon
#

holdy rods

#

currently adding that to my vocabulary

fleet canopy
#

I don't know what to call them lmao

abstract kite
#

I’m having to switch out my front fans for different ones.

Corsair ML120 Pros at 3000rpm sounds like a jet boutta take flight

fleet canopy
#

Haha

Haha yes

abstract kite
#

In AIDA64 they go vmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMSSSSSKKKKKKRRRRREEEEEEEEEE

#

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

median moon
#

honestly hoping the D15 isn't like a jet engine

abstract kite
#

Noctua fans are pretty quiet

median moon
#

yeah but

#

i9

abstract kite
#

Quieter than Be quiets

fleet canopy
#

i9 security shit

abstract kite
#

At full blast the NF-A14s are only 24.6dba

#

@ 1500rpm max

median moon
#

wew

#

that's pretty be quiet!

abstract kite
#

Mine are like, 32dba or some shit

fleet canopy
#

Yikes

#

Any recommendations for ATX 570X?

abstract kite
#

Be Quiet 140mms are 26.something-dba at 1600rpm

#

Dont buy a gigabyte board

median moon
#

^

#

operating gigabyte bios is like playing a text rpg in russian

abstract kite
#

A good, budget X570 would be the Asus TUF X570

fleet canopy
#

And I had a Gigabyte picked GWjianGodLUL

abstract kite
#

Best $200 board

median moon
#

yes

abstract kite
#

VRMs are good and everything

fleet canopy
#

Wifi or no, hm

#

It's only 6$ more why not lol

#

At this point

median moon
#

uhh i think im tripping

abstract kite
#

Get the wifi

median moon
#

did i change anything here from last time i put my build up

fleet canopy
#

Of course

#

Because like

median moon
#

damn i need more sleep

fleet canopy
#

Let's see

#

No

#

5.5g thermal paste is still fucking huge too

#

1g is all you need

#

can pick those up for like 4$ lol

abstract kite
#

^

fleet canopy
#

Isn't it funny how it's kind of the norm to get wattage of PSU to be x50W?

#

Like it's kind of rare to find anyone get 800W instead 750W or 850W

abstract kite
#

The extra 50 helps tho

fleet canopy
#

Indeed

median moon
#

what about 700W

#

:(

fleet canopy
#

That monitor for 160$ on amazon though, neat price for its specs

abstract kite
#

Mayo

fleet canopy
#

Ye?

abstract kite
#

Can you humor me for a sec

#

Tell me what you’re looking for

#

I’ll make a pert list

fleet canopy
#

Let's see, aside from the CPU cooler and the GPU,

abstract kite
#

I’m bored and my power is out

#

So ye

median moon
#

...in retrospect, i probably don't need 32gb of ram

abstract kite
#

32Gb vs 16Gb is negligible in speeds

median moon
#

yeah

abstract kite
#

64gb vs 16gb is where it shows

fleet canopy
#

You can get 32GB if it's the same as a 16GB though, best on sales

median moon
#

it's not

abstract kite
#

So if you ever intend on upgrading, you’re locked in at 32

median moon
#

i save like $40 on 16gb stix

fleet canopy
#

I saw 2x8 for 100$

median moon
#

either that or i can just go balls to the wall and fully invest for 64GB

fleet canopy
#

Saw some 3200MHz 2x16GB for 100$

#

Hm

#

CAS was somewhere around 16

median moon
#

im stuck at DDR4-2666 because intel bad

fleet canopy
#

I need a case that's black, can support ATX, X570 ATX board, 2x8GB with 3200/3600MHz, maybe a good M.2-2280 SSD with 250GB, PSU that has 300W more than what the total amount of wattage is found in PCPP

abstract kite
#

Glass,

I would buy a 2x16 set to you up to potentially later upgrade to 64GB. I did that myself and I can guarantee it’ll be worth it

median moon
#

okelydoke

abstract kite
#

@fleet canopy On it chief

fleet canopy
#

So essentially saying get 2x16, then get 2x16 later on

#

Hm

abstract kite
#

^

fleet canopy
#

I mean, you could mix your RAM sticks a bit if you'd like, kek

abstract kite
#

Mayo

#

What case brands do you like

median moon
#

uhh come to think of it i should probably run something past a z390

fleet canopy
#

Oh yeah and not much RGB

#

For brand uh

#

Corsair, NZXT

median moon
#

shit i forgot there is
Literally nothing

#

why is intel so awful

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

abstract kite
#

Is Fractal something you’d consider?

median moon
#

oh yeah

#

fractal cases are nice

fleet canopy
#

Fractal is uhh

#

Alright

#

Not the sort of weird designs though

#

Well

#

Fractal looks alright, can accept

median moon
#

thinking of picking up a KS rather than the KF

#

pre overclock sounds nice

fleet canopy
#

KS can do near 5GHz on all cores if I remember right

#

But expensive

median moon
#

and, well, getting to skip the silicon lottery

fleet canopy
#

Would just go for a 3900X at this point imo

median moon
#

is great

#

yeah i'd pick up a 3900X but i'm deadset on the gaming performance intel provides

fleet canopy
#

But you want big game performance, 600FPS on Crysis

median moon
#

6000fps or bust

fleet canopy
#

You should get 360Hz monitor-

median moon
#

uHh yeah actually i should

fleet canopy
#

lol

#

It's

abstract kite
#

@fleet canopy What all will you be doing. It’s a 3600 vs 3700X rn

fleet canopy
#

waaaaaaay expensive

#

3700X

median moon
#

yeah like

abstract kite
#

Ok

median moon
#

in case i ever somehow manage to save up for one

#

gotta get that 9 million fps

fleet canopy
#

The thing is like

#

500$?

median moon
#

with my i15-13500KSLET cpu

fleet canopy
#

Don't you mean

median moon
#

ryzen4000.exe

fleet canopy
#

The i69-696969696969696969K

median moon
#

Funny!

fleet canopy
#

50KHz

#

Fucking piece of trash

median moon
#

69KHz*

fleet canopy
#

Ah yes

median moon
fleet canopy
#

But still fucking piece of trash

#

Oh boy

#

My floor is coming to ruins

#

Well not really

median moon
#

the new threadripper is gonna have 64 cores

fleet canopy
#

New TR having 512 cores and 2560 threads

#

I love their 5x thread thingyyyyy

#

:)

median moon
#

that's not a joke

#

next tr is going to be insanity

fleet canopy
#

Isn't the 3990X having a 128 core 256 thread?

median moon
#

theeEee what now

#

who told you this

fleet canopy
#

Yes

#

Jesus

median moon
#

@abstract kite how goes fren 👁️

fleet canopy
#

It has become 3AM

median moon
#

nice

fleet canopy
#

I wanted to FUCKING sleep 2 hours ago

#

But

#

Meh

median moon
#

it saturday

fleet canopy
#

This is me every Friday-Saturday

#

Oh it is having 64C

#

I thought I heard 128C

#

Maybe that's the 2990X

abstract kite
#

Okay here we go

median moon
#

128C.

#

what the proper hell would you need that many for

abstract kite
fleet canopy
#

Damn what had 128 cores

#

I mean

#

What do you need 64 cores for?

#

What would come as a bonus to having 2x more cores?

#

:)

abstract kite
#

The Noctua fans are because stock NZXT fans aren’t PWM

median moon
#

why the 3600

#

instead of like 3200

fleet canopy
#

3700X*

abstract kite
#

Ryzen eats ram for breakfast

median moon
#

for the RAM

fleet canopy
#

Oh

#

yeah

abstract kite
#

3733mhz is the sweet spot

fleet canopy
#

More is better for AMD

abstract kite
#

3600mhz is the closest to it

median moon
#

ig you right

fleet canopy
#

I thought 3600MHz was

#

Or 3200Mhz

median moon
#

imagine having powerful ram

fleet canopy
#

I have 3x8 2400MHz lol

abstract kite
#

Its actually higher, but 3600mhz is the best easily attainable speeds for it supposedly

median moon
#

god i hate intel and their stagnation

#

It angers me

fleet canopy
#

Intel Shintel

#

:)

median moon
#

that i have to deal with their bs

#

for increased performance

abstract kite
#

Glass why do you stick with Intel if they frustrated you so much?

fleet canopy
#

He wants the game perf

median moon
#

NEED FPS

fleet canopy
#

It's only gonna be like

#

5FPS diff with a 3900X

#

lol

median moon
#

NNnneeedd

#

FFPPSsssss

fleet canopy
#

Hah

median moon
#

i'm kinda a freak when it comes to that lol

fleet canopy
#

Damn haha

abstract kite
#

Well if you want that then go for it

median moon
#

my laptop barely running MW on low graphics at like 30fps genuinely pissed me off

fleet canopy
#

But don't you want the sexy uhhh

median moon
#

"BRUUHHH RUN FASTER"

fleet canopy
#

Fuck idk

abstract kite
#

Intel can support faster than 2666mhz tho

median moon
#

what it can

fleet canopy
#

I mean yeah, more is an option

#

But you just need like 2666MHz

#

DDR4 at 2666 megahertz, very fast RAM

median moon
#

yeah

#

i don't want to spend more dosh on my ram than my psu so like

fleet canopy
#

lol

abstract kite
#

2666mhz is the native support

#

Its not called “overclocking” for nothing 😉

fleet canopy
#

kek

median moon
#

uhhhh... yeah you right

abstract kite
#

If you’re using 2666mhz then you can hit over 3000mhz easily

median moon
#

here's hoping the KS doesn't fry my Z390-A Pro

abstract kite
#

3133mhz iirc

fleet canopy
#

I mean, should I go for 3733MHz...? GWchinaSakuraThinking

median moon
#

i mean, do you like having a wallet

abstract kite
#

You’re looking at a 5% increase of performance over 3600mhz

#

Not worth it tbh

fleet canopy
#

The CAS is 18 for the 3600MHz and CAS17 for the 3733MHz of same RAM lmao

abstract kite
#

Wait was that Cas 18

fleet canopy
#

Yep

abstract kite
#

HAIL NAW

#

Let me change that

fleet canopy
#

haha

#

lol

median moon
#

tee hee

fleet canopy
#

Poor lil Learz

#

I've yet to sell my 1440p 60Hz monitor and 1060 3GB Gigabyte lol

abstract kite
median moon
#

CAS 16

#

no bully pls :)

abstract kite
#

16-19-19-39

median moon
#

._.

abstract kite
#

Tighter timings

fleet canopy
#

sexsy 16

#

Dunno what the rest of the other timings are besides the CAS latency tbh

#

lol

median moon
#

somehow the DDR4-3000 equivalent of my current RAM was like

#

only $3 more

#

G.Skill Aegis rocks

fleet canopy
#

I honestly dunno why people hate Gigabyte GPUs so much, even though they serve me pretty well tbh

median moon
#

people hate Gigabyte GPUs??

abstract kite
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fleet canopy
#

I mean, there's customer service

abstract kite
#

Idk

median moon
#

i thought it was only their mobos

fleet canopy
#

People hate googabutt

median moon
#

googabutt and holdy arms

fleet canopy
#

I just hear hate of Gigabyte from people

#

Holy rods

#

Holding the holy fans since 0000

median moon
#

2070 Super with 3 fans and solid reviews for like $500

#

but nah gIgAbAd

fleet canopy
#

It's honestly

#

Pretty fucking good imo

#

I love how Gigabyte is like "Fuck RGB"

median moon
#

yes

#

i despise PC RGB

fleet canopy
#

Only RGB is the brand title on the GPU but that's not too bad

abstract kite
#

I can talk about Gigabyte having bad motherboards because

I owned one

median moon
#

love it on the peripherals but good fuck get it away from my case

fleet canopy
#

I like a little RGB tbh

abstract kite
#

My new build lost the rainbow unicorn vomit

fleet canopy
#

I prefer white LED keyboards imo, much better than distracting rainbow effect RGB crap that fucks my eyes while playing

median moon
#

i have zero RGB in my build

dusty pumice
#

I actually like white light in cases

median moon
#

literally none

#

no flashy lights >:(

dusty pumice
#

but it just shows every little dust particle

fleet canopy
#

Haha

#

But it's pretty nice I guess

abstract kite
#

I’m going for purple accents this time around

fleet canopy
#

Somewhat dim white light seems pretty lovely tbh

dusty pumice
#

it showcases all the parts very nicely

median moon
#

Also

#

PC RGB does not support PrismSync

#

which would be very annoying

#

peripherals: nice lovely blue color
PC: WHEEEEEEEEE

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

It seems like Asus has pretty good RGB support

abstract kite
#

It is

#

I like Asus’ RGB support

fleet canopy
#

The program I've heard of recently looked pretty great

abstract kite
#

I chose the color I wanted and blam

#

Everything

#

A beautiful shade

#

of purple

dusty pumice
#

A company releases these needle like RGB strips on CES this year

#

looked lovely

#

Bright as fuck too

fleet canopy
#

Bright?

dusty pumice
#

yea

fleet canopy
#

B r i g h t ?

#

I do have like those

median moon
#

BRIGHTNESS

#

HISSSssss

fleet canopy
#

Red fan RGB fans on the front

#

But it's alright, I like it

#

It's not that bright, and I pretty much love the black/red aesthetics imo

median moon
#

PSU RGB when 😳

fleet canopy
#

lol

median moon
#

shit man i'm waiting for when we get RGB themal paste

fleet canopy
#

Oh speaking of

abstract kite
#

Glass

median moon
#

hi

abstract kite
#

Hate to break it to ya...

median moon
#

oh no

abstract kite
#

But RGB PSUs are a thing

median moon
#

shut up

#

shut up

#

shut upwkrmfu I wme

abstract kite
#

😉

fleet canopy
#

Gigabyte has a G5 PSU btw

median moon
#

oh ok i thought you were gonna say "Dog,"

#

"RGB thermal compounds exist"

abstract kite
#

LOL

median moon
#

@abstract kite 80 plus certified?

fleet canopy
#

It has this green top thing, but the G5 thing might make it pretty good

median moon
#

not even bronze??

#

get it away

median moon
#

there we go

fleet canopy
#

Gold cert, 80+. G5

median moon
#

Not titanium, it's worthless

#

Burn it

#

/s

fleet canopy
#

Apparently G5 is sort of recent I think? But it should be much better than a G3

median moon
#

but the G3 is a stellar battle rifle

#

how do you improve on it

#

hAhA kOoKy JoKeS

abstract kite
#

Well, I’m gonna bounce. I’m super tired and I need hibernation

Here’s you an 80+ Gold one Glass lol

median moon
#

Nice

fleet canopy

kek

#

Take care Learz

median moon
#

goodnight 🌛

abstract kite
#

Have a good one Payo

#

Take care Glass

#

👋

fleet canopy
median moon
#

so,

#

why is it just 2070 Super but like 3% better.

fleet canopy
#

Every super card is like

#

Better than their predecessor

#

So 2060 Super is probably a 2070

#

Meh I might be clueless

median moon
#

yeah but you'd think there would be at least a notable improvement between the supers and their steps up

fleet canopy
#

But I do know 2070 Super is basically 2080

median moon
#

yeah

#

Why

#

goddammit nvidia

fleet canopy
#

At least it's cheaper?

median moon
#

you do save like $120 yeah but

fleet canopy
#

Dunno why those fuckers keep getting 2080 when a 2070 Super is cheaper

median moon
#

yes

fleet canopy
#

Dum dum getting poorrrrr

#

:(

median moon
#

the numbers are higher!!!!!!!!

#

so it better!!!!!!!!!!

fleet canopy
#

YE!!!

#

1080 Ti MUST BE WEAKER THAN 2060!!!!!

#

I used to think that was the case when I first got my GPU

#

Thank god I got a 1060 hahaa

median moon
#

honestly i could probably live with a 1070 over a 2070

#

RTX is only on like 7 games

fleet canopy
#

Isn't RTX

#

Coming to like

#

30 more games?

median moon
#

VR ?????????

fleet canopy
#

And most of the games look pretty good too

#

Fuck I'm tired

#

I'm not gonna risk passing out on the desk

median moon
#

doom eternal is getting rtx

#

nvm

I mean

#

Yeah

median moon
#

yes

fleet canopy
#

They already have RTX

median moon
#

this makes me happy

fleet canopy
#

But it's only done through modding

#

Wait for a bit, and vanilla Minecraft is gonna have the RTX with no modding needed

#

Now

median moon
#

yeah thats what im saying

#

ok goodnight 🌛

fleet canopy
#

Fuck Minecraft modding!

#

lol I can't mod Minecraft for shit I'm just so bad at it haha

#

I only know how to mod Payday 2, poor me

#

3:40AM

#

Goddamn my sleep schedule

#

Good night lol

#

Oh yeah I also apparently can possibly overclock the RAM selected to 3733MHz, so if I do, that's a bonus lol

median moon
#

wow

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

Overclocking my PSU to 2400W!!!!

median moon
#

overclocking my case fans to 6500rpm

#

Oh yeah that sort of makes sense

#

You can't place front fans on the fucking case

#

I think...?

median moon
#

🤷‍♂️

fleet canopy
#

All of this is gonna cost me 1000$ kill me

#

Anyway, good night for now lol

tall ore
#

I saw mention of overclocking fans.

#

Just buy server fans that run at 14,000RPM.

#

Really get the noise going.

median moon
#

just buy an air turbine

tall ore
#

Lmfao.

#

You could literally also just buy a turbo from a car or van and jank it into a turbojet engine and it literally sounds the same.

median moon
#

bro literally just suspend your PC in an environment where all particle movement is stopped

tall ore
#

Only that? Make a fully stable higgs field where there exists nothing at all and put the PC into it.

median moon
#

just suspend your PC outside of the observable universe

tall ore
#

FUCK IT!

#

Superpose that shit in 4D space.

median moon
#

10D*

tall ore
#

Yeah nah, you don’t wanna be going that high.

#

Visualising 4D space is hard enough without adding more dimensions.

#

Science is my thing, but fuck if I don’t prefer quantum mechanics to higher dimensions.

#

Higher dimensions are just confusing af once you go anywhere past 4.

median moon
#

just travel forward in time to the heat death of the universe and put your pc there

#

maximum cool

tall ore
#

Shunt the heat from the PC to a different dimension and the sheer cold of nothingness into it.

median moon
#

call upon the titans of the north to freeze your PC beyond the limits of conventional science

tall ore
#

Call the ultimate superweapon to cool a thing making heat...

#

A hammer.

What would increasing RAN from 16GB to 32 or even 64 do with an i7-9750H and RTX 2060 computer?

vapid crypt
#

Um, not much if you're talking about games. There was a test that I saw today that apparently quad sticks can improve performance in some games though; so that's interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhMYmEu8gks

#

But tbh its highly situational and you would benefit from upgrading other things, like faster storage for example

fleet canopy
#

The previous 5-10 videos have been from Hardware Unboxed

#

What's with you guys and your obsession with him?

vapid crypt
#

They make really good in depth benchmark videos, very reliable

fleet canopy
#

Plus, games might need more than 16GB later on

median moon
#

64GB of ram sounds very nice to have

fleet canopy
#

I mean, yeah

median moon
#

definitely gonna be one of the first things i upgrade

fleet canopy
#

I wanna get myself a PC that has like pretty good parts haha

#

I mean as in somehow managing to get 2080 Ti performance or better

vapid crypt
#

I guess, get it while its cheap? phaWesker

median moon
#

damn

#

2080TI+ is uhh

fleet canopy
#

RAM is getting cheaper soon anyway lol

median moon
#

"Nice wallet m8"

#

i mean you could always get a Titan V :D

#

only $3200

fleet canopy
#

AMD is making a 17% more performance than 2080 Ti GPU for what was expected 1100$

median moon
#

but will it do raytracing

fleet canopy
#

I mean, you've heard of it

median moon
#

do it

vapid crypt
#

I never heard of a price rumor for this card

median moon
#

8GB is like the bare minimum

fleet canopy
#

AMD is supposedly getting their raytracing next lineup of GPU I believe

median moon
#

oh damn, nice

#

@abstract kite 32GB over 16GB is basically nothing

#

64GB though, that's when it starts cooking

fleet canopy
#

Unless you have a reason for it

#

It's fucking expensive

median moon
#

and completely unnecessary

#

yes

fleet canopy
#

But

median moon
#

in the future

fleet canopy
#

If your wallet holds a million go for it

median moon
#

it's a nice goal

vapid crypt
#

Are you running a single 8gb stick atm?

#

Yeah get another then, same kind same speed

median moon
#

^^

fleet canopy
#

4x16 is only like 230$ ish

#

Some go for fucking 600$ but I dunno

vapid crypt
#

You will get really good performance increase running dual channel

median moon
#

some go for <$210 man @fleet canopy

fleet canopy
#

Yeah but like

vapid crypt
#

One other question, what cpu are you using?

fleet canopy
#

What are its timings?

#

Me?

vapid crypt
#

@abstract kite

pure cloud
#

hey i have a 1660 ti gpu what do yall think i should upgrade to?

fleet canopy
#

Get a regular 2x8GB 3200MHz at CAS16

median moon
#

@pure cloud 2070 super

pure cloud
#

really go that hight?

fleet canopy
#

Or 5700XT if you don't want all that raytrace

median moon
#

basically a 2080 but $120 cheaper

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

Lol

median moon
#

or 5700XT, yeah

pure cloud
#

i was thinking more like a 1080 ti

vapid crypt
#

1660ti, are you happy with your performance?

fleet canopy
#

Ah

median moon
#

1080Ti would be good too

pure cloud
#

i mean its pretty good

fleet canopy
#

1080 Ti is good too, if you can find a used for a good price

median moon
#

but raytracing

fleet canopy
#

People are hav reason

vapid crypt
#

That literally only came out a year ago, you don't really need to upgrade especially if you're just running maybe 1080p

pure cloud
#

oh alright will an amd ryzen 5 2600 be able to handle 2070 super even?

median moon
#

oh

vapid crypt
#

Um, it'll probably bottleneck it a bit I would guess

fleet canopy
#

If you OC it, maybe it won't

#

Get a 3600 if you can on sale

median moon
#

well you could opt for a 2060 too

#

not that hard of a decrease in performance for another $180 off

vapid crypt
#

That's hardly worth the upgrade though

median moon
#

good point

vapid crypt
#

Same Vram and memory bus I think

pure cloud
#

alright then ill prob just stick with my gpu until i get a better cpu first

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

median moon
#

yeah

vapid crypt
#

If you're satisfied with your performance you don't have to upgrade, but if you're considering maybe getting a better monitor soon or something; then an upgrade might be worth it phaSheva

fleet canopy
#

My recommendation for a 2070 Super would be a 3700X, but you can go for a 3600, can still handle the 5700XT/2070 Super

median moon
#

definitely get a 3600, arguably one of the best price to performance CPUs on the market rn

pure cloud
#

alright i will

fleet canopy
#

I mean, I wanna YEET my 1440p for a 1080p 144/180hz lol

vapid crypt
#

If you're gonna upgrade the cpu, go for 8 cores

fleet canopy
#

ye

#

Best recommendation is a 3700X

#

You guys seen the reddit post where a guy got 8 cores from a 1600?

median moon
#

bro the best CPU right now is obviously the i9-9900KS

#

/s

pure cloud
#

slright thx a lot for the recommendations

vapid crypt
#

Never heard of that no, but speaking of Intel; that 10900k is gonna be using 300w of power ConfusedUlf

fleet canopy
#

What

median moon
#

manageable

#

but holy shit

fleet canopy
#

300W from a FUCKING CPU?

median moon
#

that thing better get like 5.1 core clock

fleet canopy
#

The highest any gone for was like 105W

median moon
#

good god

fleet canopy
#

Naah

vapid crypt
#

That's TDP that's a different measurement entirely

fleet canopy
#

Gotta get higher than that

#

Me what?

#

Wait yeah

#

That's how much it can draw in

#

But 300W?

median moon
#

300W.

vapid crypt
#

TDP isn't how much power the cpu outputs, but its a measurement for thermals specifically as it relates to coolers

fleet canopy
#

Oh

#

?

vapid crypt
#

The power use is gonna be different

median moon
#

probably less than AMD's new TR lol

fleet canopy
#

Haha

#

AMD is definitely going for the cooling for great perf

vapid crypt
#

The 64 core, I mean maybe... I hope so; but thats already using more power than the 16 core

median moon
#

the wraith is a pretty solid cool

vapid crypt
#

That as in the 10900k I mean

median moon
#

it's no 280mm full liquid nitrogen loop but it works

fleet canopy
#

Liquid nitrogen loop? Hm...

median moon
#

well yeah the 10900k sounds like it's gonna be pretty fat

#

Better not be another damn Coffee Lake though

#

stg if they refresh that stupid architecture again

vapid crypt
#

Its Comet Lake? But it is another refresh basically

fleet canopy
#

Ice Lake I believe

median moon
#

sIIGGHHH

vapid crypt
#

Ice Lake is the Laptop stuff

median moon
#

yeah hopefully it's ice lake

#

oh

fleet canopy
#

Oh

median moon
#

Nice, ty Intel

#

👉 👉

fleet canopy
#

Ice Lake

vapid crypt
#

Tiger Lake is their 10nm+ laptop chips

fleet canopy
#

Shit lake

vapid crypt
#

And yeah Comet Lake is their next line of desktop, 14nm infinity

median moon
#

14nm

fleet canopy
#

Intel CPU laptops are shitty compared to AMD's new 4000 laptop lineup

median moon
#

absolutely

fleet canopy
#

Like the 4800U or whatever beats a fucking 9700K

#

Like holy shit

median moon
#

laughable

fleet canopy
#

Real CPU power from a laptop CPU

vapid crypt
#

The uh 4800H most likely

fleet canopy
#

Yeha

#

4800H

vapid crypt
#

That's the high clocked sku

fleet canopy
#

AMD is kind of confusing with their laptop letters but eh

#

lol

median moon
#

today i learned i was destined to be stuck with intel from the start

#

my laptop has an i7

#

end me

vapid crypt
#

Not as confusing as the naming scheme intel came up with Ice lake

fleet canopy
#

Just wait for PC lineup of 4000

#

Gotta have good gaming perf

#

Probably like 20-30% more than 9900KS ;)

median moon
#

:(

fleet canopy
#

Nah that'd be a wild guess tbh

vapid crypt
#

Eh we don't know

median moon
#

definitely not, knowing amd

fleet canopy
#

More like 5-10%

vapid crypt
#

All we know is its 7nm+

median moon
#

yeah but also consider 4000 is gonna be wild expensive

fleet canopy
#

3600 200$ over 2600 100$

#

Yeah

#

300$ for 4600

#

Or maybe 250$

median moon
#

what

#

well shit never mind then

fleet canopy
#

kek

#

It's kind of a good guess, knowing how AMD increased the price

vapid crypt
#

The prices have mostly been consistent, the only real increase I can think of is the 3700X and 3800X marketing that they pulled

median moon
#

intel really boutta get blown out of the damn water

#

their best core reduced to ashes

#

F

fleet canopy
#

I really hope AMD does make a good CPU with good all around with 100% or above for cheaper tbh

median moon
#

i hope intel can get their shit together soon, AMD may be progressing into the monopoly intel left behind if they overtake too much

vapid crypt
#

I can see them bringing prices up slightly across the board, but giving you more cores for that money phaSheva

fleet canopy
#

I mean, yeah

remote horizon
#

I heard that 4000 series ryzen will have the same number of cores

#

As 3000 series

fleet canopy
#

Maybe?

#

That's how it's been for a while lol

vapid crypt
#

Probably most likely, just speculation I've heard.

remote horizon
#

Works for me, Intel already super behind Pepega

vapid crypt
#

Still though, if they've doubled core counts on their APUs for laptops; at the very least that's promising for desktop apus

fleet canopy
#

Except on best gaming perf

vapid crypt
#

That's the one hurdle that is basically being let down by their infinity fabric, but will surely be overcome with time.

median moon
#

i dislike being conflicted this hard with cpu choice

vapid crypt
#

Either way you go, the performance will be fantastic. Just depends if you'd rather have the better price/performance vs the current best in gaming

fleet canopy
#

Yeah, no need to blow all the money for the perfect gaming machine lol

#

Like I'd love to get a 9700K because better gaming perf than a 3700X

#

But gotta take in the fact that the ryzen CPUs are mad good

vapid crypt
#

I want to stress current best too, cause there will be something better this year. Yet to see what it will be phaSheva

median moon
#

i'm thinking of getting a UPS with my build, now that i consider it

#

blackouts are getting alarmingly common in my area

vapid crypt
#

That's a good investment for sure

#

The thought of bricking a motherboard while updating its Bios phaKrauser

I put it here first on accident, my bad

fleet canopy
#

It's alright, can be either put in tech support or the bug report

More likely it's already more known of now, so you may have to wait for an update or you need to solve it somehow yourself

sharp flame
#

yeah, unfort everyone who has suffered this seems to be at a dead end

#

so I think it's just waiting for the issue to be solved at this point

vapid crypt
#

I'm not sure a 10 core on Ryzen works, that would be some weird binning. So they have 8 core chiplets right, which are divided into 2 CCXs of 4 each. And how they make their lower skus is by using defective chips, disabling a couple cores for the 6 cores for example right; and so on. Then again I don't know how their R9s are laid out, maybe they could make a theoretical 10 core 4800X phaSheva

fleet canopy
#

It could be possible

#

But 10 cores is kind of eh, and more better to have 8-12

vapid crypt
#

The 3800x would actually be more worth it at its price point if it were a 10 core though

fleet canopy
#

Now that you say it, indeed so

vapid crypt
#

I remember reading about a "2800X" that was gonna be a 10 core, dunno if it was a false rumor or just a scrapped chip that they decided not to release for whatever reason

fleet canopy
#

More likely a false rumor since people must have thought it'd be 4C, 6C, 8C, 10C, 12C, etc

vapid crypt
#

Looking it up again, turns out there were false rumors about Ryzen 2000 having 10 and 12 core parts

remote horizon
#

Zen 3 should be a complete redesign of the architecture so maybe the ccx's will have different amounts of cores

fleet canopy
#

A complete redesign?

#

Didn't watch all of AMDs presentations for CES yet though

Yeah, it will be 7nm+ but totally different from Zen 2

Does PSU really make you spend 140$ for a 700W Titanium when you can go for a perfectly good 1000W EVGA G5 for near same price?

median moon

titanium will lose less wattage as heat

#

1000W is a bit unnecessary

fleet canopy
#

It is unnecessary

#

But also price

median moon
#

i'd rather have 700W at maximum efficiency rather than 1000W near it

fleet canopy
#

Well shit those god damn things are expensive too

For me, I prefer having 300W more than what PCPP shows

i'm a solid 220W over

It's one of the best thermal paste in the market

Well then

median moon

"This thermal paste is a bit dated but a friend gave me the tube for free. Cant beat free! If I had a choice, I would have gone with some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or Noctua NT-H1. Really hate that Artic Silver 5 needs to cure before getting the best temps out of it."

There's a lot of decent pastes on the market. I think the one that people tend to recommend is Artic MX-4, its the kind that doesn't cure and will last for years allegedly without needing to re-paste

tall ore
#

I mean, Arctic makes good paste, Hydronaut is also really good, but the best TIMs are liquid metals.

#

You’ll average dropping 15 degrees with liquid metals.

@median moon Regarding your real pc build:
Note: all of these increase your price

  1. Your motherboard seems a bit low-end for a 9900ks, you should get one with pretty good cpu powerdelivery and cooling of such. 175-210$ is probably where u'll land.
  2. I'm assuming you plan on gaming? A single, mediocre nvme ssd for OS (30-40gb?) and all of ur games might be a bit tight. Personally I prefer setups like a 128gb 3.5GB/s read nvme sdd for OS and then a 500gb sata ssd for games
  3. Minor odditity... ? Well, you're buying a 525$ CPU and only a 500$ GPU, which is an unsual balance. Again, not sure what you're aiming for, but most ppl would probably get at least a 2080 with that :p
fleet canopy
#

Isn't a 2070 Super basically a 2080?

#

They both have the same board

#

And if you were to OC the 2070 Super, you could probably reach near 2080 Super performance

#

Also, I believe their Gaming OC 3x is better than the windforce

#

Mine is doing pretty good on keeping coool

#

He does also have a 1000$ gift thing from his/her parents or whoever

#

So I believe it's mainly just CPU/GPU

#

Also funny how the 2080 Super has a higher Core/Boost clock than any 2080 Ti

#

1650 MHz 1860 MHz - About Every Other 2080 Super
1545 MHz 1815 MHz - 2080 Ti Zotac AMP Extreme

vapid crypt
#

Yeah its to ensure the 235w tdp is met

fleet canopy
#

Well then

vapid crypt
#

If nvidia didn't care about efficiency, and weren't scummy; they would give you the full 12gb of vram and then push the clocks to the sky. 300w tdp be dammed phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

Hah

vapid crypt
#

I'm wondering if a card that powerful would even have its full potential with any current cpu on the market phaSheva

fleet canopy
#

I mean

#

Probably gonna be the 4000 desktop series

#

Or the 5000

vapid crypt
#

Oh you know what I was mistaken, its tdp is 250w

#

I might have been thinking of a different card with the 235 number

#

But in any case the point still stands

fleet canopy
#

kek

median moon
#

@regal laurel 1. figuring out how to do that, i'm already $80 overbudget
2. i added a 2TB HDD there to hold all my games, the 250gb SSD is just for boot
3. i have $1000 for my birthday (2 days ago) to drop on my CPU and GPU, that's why i evened them out

fleet canopy
#

You could get a 9700K though

#

Both offer same ish game perf

#

And put forward the extra money for possibly a better GPU

#

Or replace the 2070 Super with a 5700XT Sapphire Nitro Plus priced at 450$ unless you really want the raytracing

#

Or both

#

Any particular reason why Intel?

marble briar
#

It's only really worth looking at CPU enhancements of gaming performance when your GPU is near the top end

#

Which neither of those cards are

#

I get wanting the frames entirely

#

But you need to think about where your money is going furthest

vapid crypt
#

That's pretty much what I said before, the performance increase is only apparent with something like a 2080ti

#

Which is like what, 15 - 20% at 1080p or something, who uses a 2080ti at 1080p ConfusedUlf

This article features benchmarks comparing several cpu and gpu pairings, the point of the article was to see how well the 2600 stacks up compared to its newer equivalent; but it also features the 3900x and 9900k for comparison

#

Fuck it I'll post charts

Haha

#

Ooh, I can see some of the differences between 1080p and 1440p

#

That's pretty neat

#

The benchmarks are really expansive, it even includes 1080p medium, and 1440p medium in order to force a cpu bottleneck. The differences really become apparent there.

I mean

#

You honestly could use the benefits of more money out of getting a 3900X

#

And then you could possibly replace the PSU with a 850W Gold 80+ and get much more money to possibly get a better GPU

median moon
#

is there really a point in that though

#

getting a better mobo i could see, but not the GPU

#

Oh yeha

#

You need the better mobo def

#

hrm

#

well i could hold off on like the UPS

#

You want MSI, yeah?

median moon
#

yeeees

#

I know Tomahawk is the best kind of thing you can get from MSI

#

Not sure about the 2nd one, but I heard about Carbon being good too

#

Yeah reviews on pro carbon is pretty great

#

Buuut

#

If you go with a 3900X, and pick up a good X570

#

You'll have great support for M.2 drives, since of their new thingy
