Now if only the X570 boards had some in white
Prime only
??
Oh yeah they're way more expensive, yeah?
I assume it's impossible to paint a motherboard?
I just watched a tutorial, but it's basically covering every component with masking tape before spraying the paint on.
I just watched that video myself. Interesting video, well worth a watch. Actually spraying my motherboard. No chance.
I would rather have someone who knows what they're doing to do it for me.
Any recommendations for an X570 board that has some white on it? Like black/white if not mostly white. Can do 3200MHz CAS14 or close to that.
I'm kind of looking at the ASRock X570 Taichi, but not sure how it is
The taichi is one of the best boards I would say
Though I don't see any white on that so 
lol
How much?
From GamersNexus, he says that the bios on it is not really great
Clunky, not as good as other bios in organization, things that should work, doesn't
From user reviews, however, is that it's pretty good
BIOs seems to work for them
One mention about chip near the GPU...
"There is one flaw with the Taichi that knocked off two whole stars for me - the Southbridge chipset cooling solution on the board. The chipset fan sits directly behind the GPU in the top PCIe slot. Not only is this choking the airflow to the chip a ton, but the GPU is blowing it's warm exhaust directly at the chipset. What's more.... the fan assembly is very poorly designed. It sits super far away from the chipset itself with a THICK thermal pad between the two. The chipset is by FAR the hottest thing in the case. Going all the way up to 80 degrees under load. Not cool! I did end up cooling the chipset significantly after some pretty heavy modding of the chipset fan & heatsink internals. It took me a few tries though. Here's an image album of the process:"
My motherboard has that same issue. I fixed it by moving my GPU to the bottom PCIE slot, but it's still a pretty bad design flaw.
Oof, hopefully it's still PCIE 16x
It is.
I'm getting the Lian Li Dynamic
Probably
I have two different list, the first list I made quite a while back, with a Mesh C
Then this one is Lian Li, and I felt like I wanted to have a white ish build
Currently something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T4Zqyk
Some are just placeholders, like the GPU
And the CPU as well
Cause the Ryzen 4000 series is coming out soon anyways
ok so is it worth buying DDR4 then ....
i would like to trans from 2133 mhz to 3600mhz
ok so next up i need to get me that NVME SSD that has 500 gb + 32 gb ddr4 3600mhz + 3080
that chipset fan is a bugger
3600MHz CAS19 kek

I don't think I've ever seen the pins have RGB before https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ffCFf7/super-flower-leadex-iii-argb-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-sf-850f14rg
Wire cubby in cases suddenly invalidated? 
Cad
1800 more? Lol
Oof
So I realized a few minutes ago that you don't really see the PSU unless you looked at the back of the Lian Li. So now I'm kind of wondering how it is to get white cablemods for my PSU
Massive delays on cablemodds
Oof
Well I just wanted to be sure if it were a good idea to get cables from them really
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TblKjOZmsI Trying to cool a 3950X with another cpu 
I almost forgot about the mention of DRAM when I saw Linus' video about guys figuring out which PC had SATA, NVME or PCIe 4.0
Is it in all the SSDs Samsung offers or no?
A QVO one, at least
And plus, other SSDs are only like 20$ ish lower than the QVO SSD I'm thinking of getting
We have any Python programmers that are familar with Pandas, Numpy, etc. that could help me for a few minutes?
How To Be Master Programmer
Step One: Get in some problem or thing that makes you have question
Step Two: Use browser to find solution/answer
^^^
Should I have the fans set up like this?
Ideally, yes, but I don't see any opening for the front fans to draw air from on that case.
The big intake?
Yes.
Yeah
Yeah, that could work.
Alright, probably look into a 360mm lmfao
And then maybe another exhaust fan on the back.
Eh, it's better than nothing.
There's a video with that, dude didn't put any fans in the back like ever
How big is the AIO radiator?
The one I'm picking is 240mm, but it can fit in a 360mm radiator
I'm trying to go with a white theme build however
Forget what I said, then. Get another fan to put on the top.
Actually...
Put the radiator on the side.
If you're getting an AIO that supports it.
And then put exhaust on the top and intake on bottom.
Can check this out if you want https://www.lian-li.com/pc-o11-dynamic/
But I've heard user reviews where it's an ass to fit a 360mm radiator anywhere else other than that side
Yeah, it looks like the side was also made for a radiator.
Having intake fans on bottom and exhaust on top will better suit your airflow and the radiator can just stay on the side since it's most likely got intake fans.
Yeah
Dunno if I should do 240, probably 280, or even 360mm for a radiator that's just white
The larger, the better.
Hm
It looks like the side fits 3x120mm fans.
Yeah
If you can, go 360.
120x 360mm / 120x 240mm / 140x 280mm is what it says in the specs.
But why does it have two side filters?
Yeah, it shows two in the link you sent and it says it's got 2 in the specs.
PSU
And a little bit of fans I think?
But the PSU goes into the back
Literally invisible unless you looked to the back
I don't see the point in having fans back where the PSU goes. There's not much air flow in the side of the case where cable management is.
Maybe just a little headroom I guess
Oh yeah it has dual PSU capability
For useless fucking reasons idk really
Oh, that might be why.
Yeah
But yeah, it is pretty useless.
I think you can just screw on something else in place of the extra side filter.
Unless maybe you use one of those double CPU socket motherboards
I mean, you can have two PSUs for only one PC.
Hm
Only reason I can think of for that is if you're overclocking everything past the brink of your return warranty.
Yeah you're not wrong, could be used for custom watercooling and not having it affect the main PSU for the GPU/CPU/rest other parts aside from any cooling
But that space is so small though.

Yeah, it's nice having those in the back rather than the front, which it can do.
Still sticking to a single NVME 500GB M.2, and a single 2TB 2.5" SSD
Perhaps I'll use a second 2.5", but I don't wanna do that
Just get a HDD for media or non-game related stuff.
If you end up needing a 3rd drive, that is.
What do you plan on doing with that kind of storage?
500GB M.2 is just boot, and general media since that doesn't take up so much space usually
2TB 2.5" for games mainly and shit
You might be set for that. I, on the other hand, might need a third drive just for random shit I download but don't want to delete because I'm too lazy to sort through all of those files and in case I need them in the future.
Oh! Get a backup drive.
You're probably not gonna need a 3rd drive anyway, but if you're fine with it, just get a 4TB backup drive.
Hm
Wonder how I can set that up, but sounds good enough
Hm, a WD Red as backup?
Even though it's a NAS
I have a Seagate Backup Plus drive and it has software with it. The only problem is that you can't limit the speed at which it backs everything up, so it slows my PC down immensely whenever I perform a backup.
It's for when your drive(s) die(s).
I usually run the Seagate backup software every few months or so.
Fuck it yeah I could use a backup
This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Portable-External-Photography-STDR4000100/dp/B0196J3UZ2?th=1
Wait, does the link not work?
Mine just uses regular USB and it comes with a cable.
I kind of wish PCPP had some title like "NAS" or "Surveillance" HDD
I can say for sure that all of samsung's ssds have dram cache, as I use a pair of them. A 500gb nvme for boot, and a 2tb 2.5" for mass storage, as you were talking about, Mayroo. I have it set up where my most-played games are on my boot drive, for that extra bit of speed, and basically everything else runs off the 2.5" drive.
If you've seen Linus' video on the different SSD speeds, there's actually not anything good to get out of the newer stuff, and SATA is still quite the best for gaming
True, I did see that video.
Having the nvme drive is still nice though, knowing that my system will stay fast and responsive for years to come.
USD?
Yeah
Damn. That's impressive. And a damn good deal.
Jesus... That's a sharp spike in price.
2TB and 3TB is neeeaaarrly identical in price
Question. Is it weird that the highest-capacity drive I own is currently in my ps4?
lmao
PS4 is mainly just games, so nah
And plus, it's a fucking bitch to wait through the downloads
The drive is an 8tb nas drive.
lmfao
Picked it up for a good price, eh?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3RmW8M Now what I currently have for a list
Some are placeholders ish
Mind you, when I bought it, I hadn't understood drive types. Not really, it was something like $600 CAD, I was just frustrated with constantly having to delete one game to make room for another on the old 500gb drive, so I bought the biggest drive the system software could make sense of.
XD Yep!
Never really upgraded it though
That was always my biggest complaint about the ps4, was the drives it came with were never big enough. Not a problem for me and my frankensteined ps4 now though.
Also my google chrome has apparently decided it no longer wants to function. I just rebooted to try and fix it, but to no avail.
F
Legit, it was working 10 minutes ago, and now it won't let me open a single window.
Ok, and randomly I'm back? Apparently my adblocker crashed and that was stopping my entire browser from working??
Hahaha
The first option is more focusing on just being dark usually, but I've seen some white before, so I made a second option
Those are both great builds, the 3700x is a solid cpu.
A little less than 2260$ to upgrade to something I'd be happy with
But fuuuuuuucking 4K USD for 2nd
Of course, like any build
Kind of rough list in the first, then improves later on in price and performance
Personally, I've always liked the o11 d, kinda wish I had built my pc in the xl version, and those ll120's are good fans, I've got them in my rig. A little loud at full speed, but they rarely get that high.
I've heard of the XL version, but I wonder if that's even worth looking into it
I would say not, not unless you plan on doing a beefy custom loop, or need an eatx board for whatever reason. It has support for 3x 360mm radiators, so you could build a beast of a cooling system in it.
Now the 2nd part list looks a little better now, 2.8K if I put monitors at 0$ cause that's something I want to get first before anything else really as I've already got a 7700K/2070 Super
Oh yeah, those are both good parts.
Yeah
But as tech continues to strive, and now that games apparently are going to be using more cores/threads, I might as well catch up on that
To make the switch to AMD, I literally just need the RAM and mobo and CPU
Right now, I'm rocking a threadripper 1920x, and a 2080, having upgraded because I was sick of dealing with an i5 3320m, dual core 2.6ghz, with integrated graphics, and it was an astounding jump.
The old laptop struggled to run skyrim at 1080p 30fps lowest, the new rig gets 4k 60fps hard capped at max settings, with mods.
Kek
Always great to have an upgrade
I remember recently seeing the Radeon VII apparently had really small amount of lows in FPS, so I kind of hope we get that for the next NVIDIA lineup
Pluuuus that 16GB VRAM
In my case, it was a matter of not doing enough research beforehand, honestly. I saw that the threadrippers got great benchmark scores, and had a socket that looked less likely to be busted by a noob, and like a fool, I went for it, not understanding the things that actually go in under the hood.
Ah
But hey, anything's better than something that's crap at running anything too well
If I knew then what I know now, I'da gotten either the 3900x or the 3950x, instead.
It's got a nice price for a CPU with uhh
Also would gotten a different case, that's my biggest gripe with my past self in regards to this build.
3900x has 12 cores, same as my tr, and the 3950x has 16. the 3rd gen chips have way better singlethreaded performance than mine though, and that's what matters for games. :/
I actually have mine running a mild overclock, 3.8ghz.
True
I'm looking to get a uhhh
Boneless pizza 4700X or a 4900X, seeing how it'll go
And maaaybe a 3080, who knows
I need to reconfig my loop, I currently have the cpu and gpu blocks in parallel, and because the cpu monoblock has higher flow resistance, it actually gets less coolant running through it, so if I fully load my system with furmark and prime95, my cpu hits it's thermal limit of 68 degrees in about 10 minutes...
If it's worth the upgrade, I'll get it
Oh, the 3080 is gonna be a beast, if the rumors are to be believed.
I seriously wanna get a 1440p 144hz panel though 
Don't know about the 4th gen desktop chips though, although the mobile versions are pretty impressive.
70 Celsius ish is totally not bad
yeah, 68 is reasonable on a 12 core chip, but it's also where my chip starts to throttle. Under normal usage it doesn't get that high though, that's under max possible load.
Under normal usage I usually see between 55 and 60.
I have yet to see my gpu hit 50 though, no matter how I load the system. It's funny, when the gpu is loaded but not the cpu, I see the gpu hit 47, 48, but if I load the cpu too, it ramps up my pump and fans, and my gpu drops down to 44, 45.
Well you do have a 2080
Yeah, I paid something in the neighborhood of $450, $500 CAD for my 1920x, having gotten it early 2019. Wish I had waited, coulda gotten it cheaper, or gotten a third gen chip.
Here's where the benchmarks start https://youtu.be/AIiE_ZiLVOY?t=171
But yeah, my gpu temps are crazy good, the 2080 doesn't throttle until above 80 degrees.
You've an air-cooled card, right?
Yeah, so those are pretty good temps then.
I also kind of blame that on the fact the PC is kind of a mess
Not my handiwork
lol
Oh? Bad cable management?
My brother helped me build a PC when I got a 1060 3GB
Back then it was the best budget GPU
I believe
Around 2017?
I fucking love how much it's advanced now, since we have stuff that performs waaaay better than what I used to have
And the 3300X beating a 400$ MSRP chip from 2017 too
Ahh, nice. The 1060 is still a good card, a bit slower than it could be at this point, but not a bad card, either.
Good for 1080p
Oh yeah, the 3300x is amazing.
Kind of slacks in the 144hz for 1080p I think now?
The 1060 is still the most popular card in steam's hardware survey, eh?
Mm
NVIDIA wins majority for GPU lol
Intel wins majority
DX12GPU with Win 10 wins majority
But yeah, I wouldn't try to run 1440 or high refresh on it, but for 1080 60, I would say it's still one of the best.
Well, most people usually have single-monitor setups and only plan on playing games.
And uhh
With a single 1-2TB SSD.
HTC Vive, majority
Yeah, intel still has majority market share, but a lot of that is simply because they were dominant for so many years. AMD has been outselling them on a month by month basis for about a year and a half now I think?
LOL Vive.
Was that sarcasm?
Please tell me it was. There's no way anybody's got that much disposable income to waste on Vive.
Although 16GB is kind of down by 0.76% now, sitting on 38.25%
Must be them getting to 32GB
A lot of that makes sense to me. 4 cores is pretty easy to get into these days, and back a few years ago, it was the majority of mid to high-end.
I thought 970/980 was majority.
My rig has 32, partly for a bit of future-proofing, partly because it's just cool. But I can see a lot of people building mid to high-end systems going for 32 now for the same reason.
5.17% on 1050
People still sit with the GTX 1000 series a shit load
Where's 1080 Ti at
Like I said, the 1060 is still on top in the steam hardware survey. XD
1.56%
AMD Radeon RX 5700
0.20%
12 cores is amazing for streaming/recording.
It was a good generation of cards. Combine that with the 20-series' price spike, and a lot of people wouldn't want to upgrade.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
0.38%
8 cores is still great for streaming record though
We could probably easily get 12 cores when Ryzen 4000 comes out though
Yeah, but I usually have like 20 programs open and 100 Google Chrome tabs. 😆
I could actually see people opting to go 10 series even after the 20 series launched, because 20 series was so pricey, and they would have driven down the cost of the 10 series. Plus with 10 series still having competitive performance, well...
8GB VRAM is a majority, a perfect number
Oooof, Damn, yeah that would load your system. XD
I think the main reasoning behind that is "if it can run modern games at 1080p60, it will suffice".
I expect we'll see core counts continue to rise for a while yet.
But somewhat better than 2070 Super
I mean, we might get more cores at reduced clocking speeds.
But at least it's more variety.
1080p being majority makes a lot of sense. The bulk of people who own consoles typically play at 1080p.
We already have high core count, low clock speed, intel's had xeons like that for years. The g=big change is high core counts, without sacrificing speed, and at reasonable prices.
What kind of microphones?
I've played console for most of my life, partly because I never had a capable system, so I'm perfectly fine with 1080 30, anything above is just a nice bonus.
I think the other thing that matters more is frames.
I know my mic is just the one built into my webcam, a razer kiyo.
Mine is a Blue Yeti.
I know for myself, I feel like I screwed up on monitor.
Vive is not majority.
I just need to pick up a 1080p144 monitor with G-Sync compatibility.
Hyperthreads at 66.33% though
April 2020 it was taken
I wonder how it works
The whole survey thing
I already had a 1080 60hz monitor, I had originally gotten it when I got my ps4, because I had no flatscreen to hook it up to, ultimately got a cheap 1080 43" tv once I had a tv stand, and then I hooked the monitor to my old laptop, but when I upgraded my pc, I needed a new monitor, because I get twitchy having only a single screen, so I figured, hey, why not get a 4k monitor, finally see what all the hype is?, and so I got a 4k 60hz monitor, and that is now my primary. Rather underwhelming. Wish now I had opted for 1440pm high refresh instead, because I know the jump from 30 fps to 60 has been amazing, and I can only imagine what going even higher would be like.
As for the survey, I think it's just data collected about system info by the steam client.
I bought a crappy keyboard controller
Sort of the same boat as me, Dovah, except I like mine. Clearer text is nicer.
I'd imagine they have a function where they can just send out a request to all the clients to report on what hardware they're installed on, I can't imagine it'd be too hard to set up.
Yeah, the sharpness is nice on my 4k, but at 27", it's not a noticeable difference from my 1080 monitor in day-to-day use. There's a couple fringe cases, but overall, I think I'da been perfectly happy with a 1440 monitor, put the extra budget towards higher refresh rate.
What do you mean, keyboard controller? Something like razer tartarus or orbweaver?
It depends on how much closer you are to the screen and pixel density.
I see pixels for days on my 1440p 24" sometimes
How close are you to the monitor?
No AA on Warzone? FUCKING EVERYWHERE
Really? Hmm... I sit anywhere from 2 to 4 feet away from mine usually...
LOL
I'm like a good 1.5-2.5 feet away
Warzone can go fuck itself if it's actually that bad
Even with max settings
And I've never noticed an issue... I actually usually turn aa off, for the extra bit of performance.
The farther you are away from the screen, the smaller the pixels appear in your vision until they just sort of "mesh" in with the picture.
I still play since it's a BR I can get used to since I've played a lot of CoD
You might still see some pixels from 2-4 feet at 1080p without antialiasing.
You def will
At 4K, it's almost unnoticeable from the same distance.
Unless monitor small enufg
I think mine is 24".
I do occasionally, but I've found that on my 4k monitor, there's a few games, usually not well optimized, that I run at 1440, and even that's enough that I stop seeing the pixels. That's why I say I wish I had gone 1440, I feel like for me the difference between that and 4k wouldn't be noticeable enough to justify the system overhead and added price of 4k.
Do you run fullscreen or windowed?
Fullscreen. Always. I find it strangely annoying when a game isn't fullscreen.
Same.
I only play windowed if it doesn't have the resolution supported lol
Such as, World At War
I only play windowed if the game won't go fullscreen on the monitor I move it to.
*glares at Destiny 2*
lol
Even if I can't get my resolution up high enough, I still run fullscreen, I'd rather see pixels than lose my fullscreen. And I don't have issues with games not going fullscreen on the monitor I want, because I run all my games on my primary display.
Man, if only there was a white H100i that was 360mm
Could I do a 240mm radiator and put a 120mm fan next to the radiator?
You could, but you'd have one fan that looked a little different, because of the different mounting heights.
l o l
Unless you have budget restrictions, just go with 360mm.
The side panel is going to serve as an exhaust for your radiator, so I don't think having a single intake fan next your radiator's exhaust fans is going to be very beneficial to your airflow.
its not copying my lobby code any suggestions?
I don't care for budget restrictions
Only problem is finding one that's just as white as Mr. Clean's clothing on every commercial ever :)
Anybody know why i cant undeafen & unmute my discord?
Could be that the input/output audio is wrong?
Hmmm,maybe..hmmm gotta check later.
So Mayroo,if i put it right..then i can download the apps & get it work right?
Ok so
I'm planning on building a Streaming PC
But I'm hanging with 2 options
- Buy and build one specific Streaming PC with Intel Core i7-3770, 16GB DDR4 RAM, GeForce GTX 1660 ti, 250gb SSD with 500GB HDD.
- Buy that PC above, but build my current pc to make it Stream-handable, and the other pc mentioned above would be the Gaming PC
ofc for the 2nd one, I'd need a recorder, but I'm just asking these options
Okay well, if you wanted two pcs you actually do not need a capture card or anything for that. There is a plugin that exists with OBS studio that allows you to capture video from a second computer
And for a streaming PC you don't need much, don't even need a graphics card. A CPU with integrated graphics would typically be enough since its only doing the streaming
Now if you just wanted the one computer, why are you considering an old i7? Right now there exists a low end Ryzen part that performs on par with the i7 7700k and it costs $120
R3 3300X, and if you wanted more cores/threads there's also older Ryzen cpus that are around the same price or less. The R5 2600 and the 1600AF
Indeed
I'd go with 1600AF if you want a 2600
Because both are the same thing anyways
But I think they raised the price on it?
By a little, but you'll have to check it out
As for the other specs listen, don't bother with the 1660TI unless its sub $250, the 1660 Super is basically the same performance while being $239 on average
Uh people buy them out to resell for more
Demand increases pricing
But yeah its no more than a bout $120
Even if it should be $85
Ampere leaks
Looks like the 2080ti will become midrange... I kinda already knew this 
Yeah the thumbnail, its a crude photoshop
Wouldn't be too hyped about moores video. Guy does not have the best track record with leaks 
buckets of salt around any leaks tbh
in any case both Big Navi and RTX 3000 seem very promising
going to be hard waiting for partner cards - itching for an upgrade
Which leaks has he presented that were unreliable?
well to start with the freaking NAME of his channel is incorrect
it still holds true today as far as i can tell
i therefore conclude that his channels name is meant to be more sensational than informative, and i assume his content follows suit
I don't really agree with that take, cause I am familiar with his content. Anyway I don't think the name is supposed the be accurate, but it is more interesting than "Moore's Law is Slowing Down" or "Moore's Law is Dying"
Moore's Law ain't really that dead at least
Wonder how many can actually specify moores law without googling
I like how people have opinions about things they know nothing about
lmao
xmg apex 15~
Yuh
... I... Want to know more. Is that a joke? Is it real? I'm leaning towards it being the former, but it'd be awesome if it was the latter.
4 fans
oh no
Not real. No Leather Jacket = fake news
"comments have been disabled"
so you think you have the latest technology pcie 4.0 graphics card and motherboard huh?
i bet you never had an x32 slot on your motherboard https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRW-3F.cfm
That's absurd! What device, even in the server space, could need that much pcie bandwidth??
i'm not sure if there is a single device that would use it, its probably for a riser card. basically more of the motherboard sticking out at a right angle that would have two or more additional slots
For an server environment, it probably helps a ton.
it's riser extension. There are no pcie slots available by default cause mosst servers will never need any graphics
Also when speaking of supermicro, really good article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies
Probably many know it already but anyway a good read
How do I make my 7700K heat up my fucking cold room
@fleet canopy Delid for better heat transfer -> more heat in your room 
Sounds cool
Have you ever heard of conservation of energy
thanks to GTFO my graphics card is reporting that I have played unitycrashhandler for about 5 hours
yes, unity crash handler, best game
^
Totally
protip: use WASD and the arrow keys for most of your controls
actually numpad is better than arrow keys
Hm
I should not be paying 3,000$ for this lmfao https://pcpartpicker.com/list/prKGRk
You're planning to get all that?
It'll obviously be changed over time
Oh I see
But I more felt like I wanted to go with white
GTC was today, Nvidia talked about Ampere
Today? Didn't know
That is Jensen, it was mainly talk about the architecture and their biggest card and all that
Gives some idea where the consumer products will land
And the leaks were pretty accurate going by the info
Surprising
9 parts in 13 minutes
Looks like they uploaded all 9 parts at the same time, ended up listing it out of order on their channel 
Yeah in the playlist, but on the upload list its out of order
I love how he has a 2070 super on display in the background
As if thats his personal favorite card atm 
1080ti 3.0 
1080 Ti 4.0 when
The 3060 is probably gonna be only a bit faster than that I'm guessing, like 1080ti +10%
Yeah I guess
Only worth taking is if you don't have something with that amount of performance
Well something like close to the 2080 super specifically
Oh?

hi
Damn, he went hard on that first one
Please no.
https://www.canadacomputers.com/listing/NZXT-WoW-Cases-200508 WoW Cases from nzxt lol
No.
its a pretty cool case
way too expensive for the fact it has mediocre air flow and is only a mid tower ATX
<@&408548765599793173>
Thanks, were on it
Aye another DRP4 user
Just finished my first PC Build
Ryzen 5 3600, pny gtx 1660 oc edition, asus tuf gaming x570 wifi mobo, corsair 16gb ram, wd blue 1tb ssd
What benchmark software can I use to see my performance in game?
Oh and coolermaster h500 case
I used heaven already, is there a way to config it to work in game? I'll look for the steam benchmark demo too
It's 3DMark @abstract kite
Cool thanks
🐒
I think you just like me 😉
who are you
really?
you have funny meme
mean
😭
I-I.. sorry bro.
I-it's okay bro
Had fun time today installing quick disconnect fittings to my pc. Makes disassembly way easier 
and sorry for vertical photos lol
Great to see, wondering if there's gonna be Source 2 conversions for Half-Life 2 and what not
3d mark > userbenchmark
Still hanging around in a 6800K and a 1080, neat
I have 3d mark
3D Mark, the superior program
And yep 6800k and 1080 strix still running strong
I've had 3d mark for years actually
Lol nice
Better than demo
Userbenchmark nowadays isn’t really that good, as they’re really lying about intel vs amd stuff
Why would I just have the demo
Oh I totally recommend. Its pretty cool.
Although you aren’t wrong, I could try just buying 3D Mark but I do not have any way of actually buying it anyways for the moment
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDS
No u
no u >:C
Don't make me cuddle you, cuteness >:C
Daawww<3

FBI OPEN UP
SHE'S 18 I SWEAR!
alright let's keep this on topic please
Oki
alguien latino o de habla ispana para jugar ?

I wonder if I could even get a zen 3 processor if it disables Zen+ support since that's what I'm using 
I don't have a mobo that supports bios flashback
Oof
Well, we'll see. Personally I don't think I could pass up a good price on a 3700X or something
Probably will be good I guess
Oh going by what Debaur said, flashing would work; but the old cpu wouldn't work assuming the board dropped support for it
So going to Zen 3 should be no issue in that case
Yeah I guess
That whole debacle is a can of worms and a half.
some big fps problems lately with the gtfo can anyone help me?
the thing is, i have an rtx 2070 and max fps should be above 144 and i only have 80-90 fps, even if im changes all settings to low, as low as i can, it still stays at 80-90 fps
when enemies come, I only have 30 fps...
I have an rtx 2070.
i have an amd rhyzen 7 2700 8 core 16 thread processor
and a 144-hour monitor...
Sorry for my poor English :D
thanks in advance
Try playing around with the CPU culling perhaps. It might change
ok I am new to pcs and want to get GTFO anyone I can dm some pc specs to to see if it will run?
oh ok ty
Try to be above those specs generally
As for the 2070 performance issue, I'm not entirely sure 144 is a sure thing with the game atm, though to be fair I get similar performance with my RX 580
So that's a bit odd 
Because those specs make it playable on 30FPS ish I think
Recommended should be solid 60, min is like maybe 30
I think so yeah
On low settings
It's not too hard to really keep yourself above 1080p 60FPS across all games really
@viscid prism Are you playing at 1080 or 1440p, and what's the speed on your RAM? For Ryzen, especially the first two generations RAM speed is important to help with latency with the CPU.
Old stock, and it isn't being manufactured anymore
Max boards fully replaced those
They made a Max board for the one I have X470 Gaming Pro, updated appearances too. Can't find it listed anywhere though 
lmao
Probably enough to run crysis on 144p 15fps https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YdcJXv
@fleet canopy still the same...
Oof
The hell? 
Yes
@vapid crypt 1080 and idk i know only that i have 16gb ram but not the speed contact me and i can screen share for you :D
my cousin build the pc for me he know all the stuff but cant help me to fix it thats why im writing in here but i want to screen share for you...
Screenshare isn't necessary, you can find out the speed of the memory a few different ways
A lot of the times its printed on a label on the RAM sticks, there's some programs that show that information as well
Like HWinfo
@vapid crypt I have hfinfo already but dont know how really to use it
@vapid crypt thats what i mean with screen share im not experienced in this ...
So the system summary that comes up on HWinfo, the RAM info I circled here as an example. I'm using an older version of it cause I can't be asked to update it
uff im soory im out there
The "clock" is the speed I'm referring to
cant do this alonme im just a beginner in the pc stuff...
I guess you can also see it in task manager, I just remembered that
performance tab on task manager, click on memory
@vapid crypt
Oh boy
Yeah that's base clock, either the memory wasn't set to XMP or its just a slow kit
so it says me what? 😄
Your RAM is the slowest it could possibly be
Either it wasn't tuned to run at its rated speed, or its just that slow
so i can set it faster?
Maybe.
and how 😄
How it works is RAM manufacturers sell it at a rated speed, its technically overclocking
So you have to go into the motherboard BIOS to turn on a setting to ensure its running at its rated speed
The thing is though, there are cheap RAM that just run at the slowest speed and it can't go beyond that
So you might have cheap slow RAM, it can't be helped in that case
If you can find out the model of your RAM, you can see what its speed is meant to be
There's a sticker on the stick that tells you its part number
QR code?
That's likely unrelated to that I would guess
im gonna put the glass of and take a look closer
You said your friend made the pc for you?
my cousion yeah 😄
Did he let you keep the product packaging?
Cause if you have the box for the RAM, it would have the part number on it somewhere
i biuld it togetzher
ill watcxhing if i kept this but normly i kept all the stuff wait a minute pls
didnt kept it
i have to watch the code...
should i put the glass of and look closer?
Might be hard to make it out, but you could try
i only have to look closer its on the top middle of the side
should i shut down my pc?
and startup after this?
So you could turn it off, take one of the sticks out and look at the part number that way
That would be easiest
okay i have discord on my phone too thats fine
Sure, you can snap a picture of it then too
You know how to re-install RAM right?
I think you implied your cousin helped you
Oh okay I can make that out
F4-3200C...
That's all I needed to know
Your memory is running at 2133mhz, this kit is supposed to run at 3200mhz
Okay...
So yeah XMP has not been enabled
its bs if you have to enable overclocking in motherboard setting to hit rated speed of ram
everyong knows this
everyone even
I'm not surprised that there are people that are ignorant of RAM overclocking, but in any case... uh Trofline do you know what motherboard you have?
The Max model or you're not sure?
Sure, okay let me see
Huh?
or wheree 😄
Well you don't enable XMP through HWinfo, its through the motherboard Bios
No you wouldn't be able to do it
😄 im sorry
The Bios is not apart of Windows, its an interface that you boot into almost as soon as you turn the computer back on
Yeah its fairly simple, so right now you would restart
yeah
And when the MSI logo comes up press Delete over and over
i can write while i can do it i mean i have discord on my phone too
And it will open up the BIOS
So you could take a picture of it, and I can kinda tell you where to go
Alright, click on Memory
Oh hang on
See where it says A-XMP at the top
Toggle that on
Hmmm it should work after saving at exiting
when you go to quit it usually asks you if you want to save first
The bios is a bit different from the one on my motherboard so
All fine xD
On first glance I can't really tell where to go to exit 
And the 1 and 2 are profiles
I got it its on the top right corner
Ah yes that makes sense
Ahh kk
Ups
It should be 3200 mhz
Already did it xD
it has the speed right in the bios too
Hmm... that's 2933mhz, same as what I'm using
Uh so I guess it should be XMP profile 2
I assume you set it to number 1 right?
Yeah that should be the 3200 speed
the waiting is killing me
Alright, great so that's done. I don't know if it will solve your framerate issues, but it should help something
okay thy 😄
I'd say overclock the cpu, but you're using the stock cooler so that's not the best idea.
So that doesn't matter as much as the drop when enemies spawn
😄 lets look if this helped with the nemie problem where ionly had 30 fps
im in a1 now
constant 100 fps its not dropping down so it seems to be fixed
a lot of thanks to you el demonio and prime
i'm glad that worked
thanks ^^
everyone has said that ryzen was really sensitive to ram speeds, but i didnt really believe it could be really hurt that bad
anyone know the AMD equivalent to Intel Core i7 4790K
In price or performance?
well both
let me check and see what 4790Ks are going for on the used market...
ok
those haswells are still selling for almost msrp on ebay
i have looked (4670K owner here)
Lol classic intel
I'm getting results at around $200ish USD
I have to wonder why he wants a 4790K equivalent though
At that price point you have the R5 3600.
Yeah
in specs it says amd equivalant to Intel Core i7 4790K
^
I still recommend 3600 + B450
ok ty
Honestly Muppy, with the way that AMD is basically putting a cap on the B450 chipset, I'm more inclined to recommend lower end X570 just for the upgradability factor.
That's probably dumb of me if I'm honest
They said they’ll have zen 3 support for b450
From a majority of what I saw, no? Perhaps I was looking at misinformation.
If yu update the bios to support zen 3 however, you must understand that you’re never ever going to have support for an older cpu anymore
AMD officially announced that
Check their web
Oh they literally just did
I am still pretty lost xD I am new to pcs and have watched gtfo and have wanted to play it for a while but I am still not sure what to get even looking in the specs channel is there anyone I can dm the specs I am thinking of to see if it is good?
Lmao that's a twist.
punish amd by buying intel XD
Lol
You can post the build here Happy

Are you buying these parts individually, or is this a PC already built; plug and play essentially.
That's more recommended to do that usually
But if they sell a prebuilt at a very good price, then that's cool
Prebuilts are fine, but you are paying a little bit of a premium for it being prebuilt. You can save big money building it yourself.
phil: we just had a guy with a ryzen 5 2700 and 2070 getting over 100fps
so you should get over 60fps no problem
ok but should I look for some parts?
It's like adult legos.
any recommendations for parts?
I can put together a whole parts list for ya.
ok ty!
how fast would that run gtfo?
I would modify a few parts on that if I'm honest
If you are willing to pay 850$, it's possible to fit a 2070 maybe
Yeah, I tried to get it to like 500$ before
i have some bad news... an EVGA card i want to get wont be able to fit in my current case
so rip
lol FTW3
Why FTW3
cause three fans and it looks like a terminator and makes me corny with an H
Go with a cool gigabyte windforce 😎
ok tysm for helping me with this I am hoping to have enough for it by the end of the month and start playing gtfo 😄
i have a gigabyte card rn
my 2070 super windforce is a gamer
Why FTW3
@fleet canopy
Literally one of the best cooling cards out there
kek but expensive, no?
actually
suprisingly i can get it for 800€
xD
Yea, there's a bit of brand loyalty to it, but EVGA is my go-to for GPUs.
the gigabyte is like 750€
The customer service is so good.
I'm more of a gigabyte guy p much now, but I would def go for an EVGA if I could have found an EVGA 2070 Super for a good price
My gigabyte was 499$, MSRP lol
When the 1070s have thermal issues, they cross shipped me a card with better thermal pads when I originally bought my 1070 for Newegg.
No questions asked.
@abstract kite question tho... it says the evga in europe is out of stock? do i have to pre order the new 3000 series when they will announce to even manage to get it ?
cause on the evga.com the USA retail store.. they have some of them in stock
wait on the list @fleet canopy the ryzen 5 1600 I can't click on buy so I am guessing its out of stock
It's not on buy because it's a custom price I put in
It's the 14nm version, an older version
I can't say for why they don't have it in stock, but 3000 is basically right around the corner, so unless you desperately need to get a GPU now, I would wait.
@abstract kite
so just look for the ryzen 5 1060 on amazon and newegg?
Not just recommend, but try to at least find the 1600AF
no im just confused how do i even manage to buy it cause the EUROPEAN store is always out of stock xD
ok ty
like what the fuck am i supposed to do
all i can do is choose for them to send me a notification they are in stock
or get a card from USA
and they will slap me 400€ extra
and i will pay 1200€ for a 3080
EVGA Black Gaming 2070 SUper, 800$
instead of 800
idk in eu its shit priced
in eu they never stay near msrp
Well, then the email would be your only way to get notification if they have the card in stock if that's their only option.
atleast in my country
Then you'd have to jump on that ASAP.
i mean there is no way ican manage to get it
they have automated bots
most people
like a chrome script
to open the site and order
lmao
If you can't get one, then you might want to look at other brands.
I don't like their customer service, but Asus is a good alternative.
see the difference
xd
Is the EVGA website the only place you can acquire the card from?
look at how fucking cheap it is in america
holy fuck
in croatia this would cost 900€
which is 1000$
bruh cheap that's like how much my pc I am going for cost xD
lol
Other countries don't even have it easy
i hate living in eu
senko what would be a good price to pay for the 1600af?
Around 130 USD at most
They're usually 85$
Unless they raised the price on 1600AF?
im probs gonna go for whole pc sell
and buy new shit
and go for amd
xd
ryzen x nvidia
i guess its important that its a 1600af not a 1600?
@lilac geyser 1600AF is basically a 2600 is disguise.
Yeah its a lower binned 2600
whereas regular 1600 is from year 2017
Essentially it’s an R5 2600 with a slight decrease in clock speed. Apparently AMD didn’t have enough 14nm wafers available to keep producing the R5 1600, so they simply shifted it to the 12nm process and now they’re making a version of the R5 2600 that they call the R5 1600.
Basically they branded it that because of its popularity in certain regions
Radeon Pro WX 4100 4GB GPU for 255$ kek
Well yeah they ran out of 14nm, and still have plenty of 12nm from gloflo
look at this cuck
selling those specs for 1800$
Just increase the clock speed on the AF and you basically have a cheaper 2600 lol
They gotta use it, or else its wasted money you know
Yep
should I be looking for certain sized things when building a pc so it fits or something?
Depends on what you're going for
ATX is usually a lot common
