Good/reliable/well-reviewed motherboard for an i7-9700k. I’m thinking Gigabyte Z390 but looking for additional input.
Also, i7-9700k vs i7-10700k?
fleet canopy
Whichever one's got a better value
fleet canopy
Not sure, haven't really looked at Intel in forever
vapid crypt
Gigabyte makes the best Z390s for the money specifically, so that's a good call. Forget about the 9700K its 8 threads aren't gonna last
Look for a 9900k if you go for Z390, or 10700k and get on Z490
Or fuck it all and get Ryzen, they're objectively better now 
onyx ember
Why won’t the 8 threads last @vapid crypt?
vapid crypt
Modern games are already using more
onyx ember
Oh
vapid crypt
Not that you couldn't kind of get along with it, but when you're out of threads you're gonna have a lot of stuttering
onyx ember
True
Upgrading from the Z170-HD3P. Old girl has held up really well, however audio ports are starting to go out, which makes me think it’s starting its decline.
vapid crypt
Audio on the rear or front?
onyx ember
Back on the motherboard itself
vapid crypt
Alright, never use front panel audio it's never good
onyx ember
Will that I9 bottleneck my 1060 6gb?
vapid crypt
A few days ago the 9900k was 320, and you could get a bundle with a motherboard for like $460 or something like that
On Newegg that is
People snatched that up though
And no, so the thing about bottlenecks is that there is always a bottleneck in the system somewhere. If there wasn't then we'd have infinite performance
Though typically, you don't see a CPU bottleneck outside of 1080 nowadays
onyx ember
Is there a way to tell if your GPU or CPU is like really fucking the other over? That’s my main worry about upgrading this CPU.
Oh
vapid crypt
But a 1060 isn't fast enough for a bottleneck to factor even at 1080p
Especially with games that are optimized well
onyx ember
So then the card is slow to the point of where the CPU can’t really fuck it over then.
vapid crypt
Well even if there is a cpu bottleneck, it's not that the cpu is fucking over the graphics card. So how it is, if there is a CPU bottleneck it means that the graphics card is just a bit faster so now the CPU is limiting the performance. Usually it isn't extravagant, especially not with Intel's Ringbus architecture they have pretty good latency
You'll see good performance even with some type of CPU bottleneck, but with a 1060 that's irrelevant. Put in a 3080 or something, now a cpu bottleneck will certainly be present
But that's a card that's made for 4k, or at least 1440p anyway
So the limiting factor will be the GPU
onyx ember
I mean I would if 3070s and 3080s weren’t being scalped and were in stock 😂
vapid crypt
You want the graphics card to be the bottleneck basically
3070s are restocking pretty regularly, as are the 3090s. Different story for the 3080
They're still highly in demand though
So it's not easy
onyx ember
Dude, I haven’t seen a 3070 in stock since October. Where are you finding these restocks?
And if they are being restocked they go out almost at the same time.
vapid crypt
I'm not seeing them personally, but supposedly people have some kind of script that can detect when there are restocks literally everywhere possible
onyx ember
Good fucking gosh
vapid crypt
There's a website doing that pretty much I forget what it's called though
sick reef
Wouldn't be difficult
And regarding bottleneck. What would it be, compared to a 4790K, with a 10900K, or 5900X. 25% more, maybe even closing in on 30% on average?
Could be more. I think that was the numbers for 8700K, or 9700K.
onyx ember
Well I’m looking to get my hands on a 3070, so I’m looking for avenues to get one.
No clue Labcat
sick reef
Very often not worth going the entire way when it comes to CPU, monetary. Diminished returns hits somewhat fast.
Bottleneck could be relevant, but it would take buying decent components, and having a component you bought cheap, and it kind of doesn't matter which component that is.
Hard Drive would likely be less susceptible, but I guess there's unbranded hard drives out there somewhere
Buying some 2, or 4 core CPU would be akin cheaping out, but buying "good enough" get you a lot for a small amount compared to the higher tiers of CPU's.
onyx ember
Also, advice on a good cpu air-based cooler that won’t block a ram slot? Currently using a Hyper 212 EVO. I have no idea if it will block a ram slot on this new motherboard but it wouldn’t surprise me.
gritty timber
go water
if you want to build a top of the line PC and go air you're doing something wrong
onyx ember
I don’t like water cooling
Too many areas for it to fail and I personally don’t think there’s a significant difference in the two cooling methods.
gritty timber
water requires a bit more mainteance but it's well worth it imo
onyx ember
Anyway, back to the air cooler.
vapid crypt
The Scythe Fuma 2 is really good for overall performance and compatibility
It will not cover the ram slots
onyx ember
Is that thing bulky? I’m looking at it and it seems like it is, but I know looks can be deceiving.
sick reef
Air is decent, if you can fit it.
vapid crypt
You need a pretty chonky cooler if you want good performance
sick reef
Because yeah, it'll take direct space.
vapid crypt
Or just get a Liquid AIO
onyx ember
Compared to the 212 EVO how bulky is it?
vapid crypt
So I know it's technically shorter, so that won't be an issue for head clearance
gritty timber
AIO won't be that much better over hi-end air
vapid crypt
The way it's designed it won't cover the ram slots
onyx ember
Will it touch the outtake fan or is that situational depending on the PC case?
Guess I can mount the outtake fan on top if I need to.

That's kind of rough then, 3080 is pretty overkill for monitors at that price point

all the parts I got for my new pc are overkill

An imbalanced system 
So with 1080p you're pretty much gonna be CPU bottlenecked
Like no question

That's a CPU bound title pretty much, what CPU are you getting?
vapid crypt

Zen 2 is fantastic, but its strongpoint is definitely not in gaming when there is a CPU bottleneck
And that is what you will have at 1080p, as far as like $200ish monitors
That's kind of the highest resolution you're gonna be getting, there are cheaper 1440p options but they're not high refresh
bleak swallow
yeah. I can always ask my friend. He knows a bunch about building too

Like if you know what you're doing you can get away without having any of that stuff
fleet canopy
As well as the good ray tracing compared to RX 6000 atm
vapid crypt
Even the encoder, I think CPU encoding is fine. It works well enough as long as you have the resources for it
fleet canopy
However I do believe AMD will be able to do rt really well, competing the RTX 3000
Just needs an 8 core and fast enough ram
12 core, that's probably good for 1080p gaming + streaming
vapid crypt
I would be more comfortable with the 12 core going forward doing that
fleet canopy
At this point I can only see myself ever getting 12 cores depending on the fps lows so lol
And for longevity
Might be different now or soon, since the 5800X is really good over the 5900X for price, and possibly the only thing I'd need for a good while, so eh
vapid crypt
I can see the 3900X coming down to $350 maybe by the summer, I might go for a total upgrade there. Motherboard and everything
vapid crypt
If the 5800X was $350 I might agree, but I think the 5900X is the better deal in the long term
fleet canopy
Hm
vapid crypt
TechDeals makes that argument pretty much, it makes a lot of sense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Su6dhmWun4

100$ difference, yeah doesn't seem a bad deal
I already put the 5900X in the list of "Buy it someday lol" since they really did well in gaming
I can imagine the next video being like "Ok 16 core now lol cheaper than 12 core"
vapid crypt
Nah that's a big enough difference in price I don't think you could ever call that the better deal
fleet canopy
I guess so, but not now, not yet

The only reason I got a 3080 was because they had it. I don’t think I would’ve gotten the chance. I wanted a 6800xt because it was cheaper and it competed well with the 3080 w/o ray tracing, but I walked into the micro center and they had a 3080 shipment, not 6800’s. That’s all.
vapid crypt
Tbh, it's cheaper on paper. But the AIB partners seem to think that it's worth a hell of a lot more than AMD says it is. Supposedly they dropped prices by $50 last minute, so you have like $750 - $800 6800XTs from XFX, Powercolor and the like

yep, apparently their flagship offering will be 8 cores instead of the 10 like in the 10900k (i don't fully trust this claim), and it'll be on 10nm, in the end it won't matter if intel take back the "gaming crown" by 2% or whatever, amd will still win because they will continue to dominate the laptop market due to their power efficiency and small form factor

Be certain your soundcard can support 250 ohm if you do.

It actually doesn't matter. Even if it not support full 250 ohm it'll work anyway, just volume will be a bit lower.

Yo quick question, i just install an 1tb ssd on my pc, i have an 1tb hdd too, im.in the windows install, how do i tell them apart?
I literally only says disk 0 and disk 1
Also mine its pre-built if that makes any differnce
Nevermind ive play russian roulette and installed on ssd by pure chance
😅 😅 😂
void perch
Damn you got lucky. But there are hints such as if one is formatted and other isn't. Checking how it's reported in the bios, or even unplugging the one you don't want touched and then install is safest

Before you start setting up that windows install, unplug all other drives and see if you still boot.
Windows 10 sometimes gets weird ideas and uses other drives for boot related stuff. @olive hinge

tfw, just went for my bi yearly pc clean out, and realized that the standoffs on my cpu cooler are to long
so my cooler hasnt been sitting perfectly snug against my cpu this whole time
which i guess i sorta already knew, but just put it down to liquid metal being thinner than regular paste
idle musk
Liquid metal ? Which CPU do you have that you need so radical termopaste as liquid metal

I used liquid metal with my R5 1600 AF and on my R5 5600X. It may cost a little more than regular paste but why not spend a couple extra bucks for better performance.

A VPN will help mask your IP and mimic it to a regional location of choice. Sometimes if you try to reach a server is abroad it won't let you because they may block international IP's
and if they do allow international connections it may take awhile with all the hops from let's say from the US to UK and them security protocols to authenticate

Today I got myself a new HDD for my Acer Nitro 50 and with tagt a new power adapter,
After building everything into the PC and trying to turn it on, it only gives me one continuous beep and the screen stays black.
Given tagt my Keyboard & mouse are not turning o as well, the bios isnt initiating as well.
Anyone knows why this could be?
hexed fractal
Silly question but you didn't fry your pc did you?
fleet canopy
If the motherboard is possibly displaying some sort of blinking/whatever, you could find it in manual and fix it
hexed fractal
Could just be something isn't fully in place.
merry bay
the beep is an error code from your motherboard. Its manual would hint what seems to be the problem.
The hard part is figuring out what motherboard you have there, because Acer Nitro 50's can be specced in many different ways.
velvet sage
Yeah I know that, there is no specific motherboard
People tried to find the ID of it and succeeded nowhere
merry bay
knowing the chipset might be enough. Do you know your exact CPU?
velvet sage
It an Intel I7, 5400 I believe
hexed fractal
Apparently a long beep can mean a few things like faulty hard drive or something wrong with processing but I don't know enough to give any more info than that. My only thoughts go to it not being compatible or a loose connection. But I know next to nothing.
velvet sage
We replaced everything as it was before with the old PSU but still nothing
hexed fractal
So it's not working even after putting everything back?
velvet sage
Yes
merry bay
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? In some nasty cases prebuilts lock up in the event of a hardware change
in this case Acer
velvet sage
We didn't re-connect the Hardrive and the CD-rom, but windows is on a small SSD on the motherboard, so that shouldn't stop the PC from booting
merry bay
Even so it would at least arrive to BIOS or display "no boot media" etc.
velvet sage
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? In some nasty cases prebuilts lock u...
I can try contacting acer, but I'm on sure if they'd provide any help
merry bay
From the sounds of it the system isn't even getting past POST. So it's just erroring out and stopping due to a hardware conflict of some sort.
My best guess is proprietary hardware blocking out anything unfamiliar.
That's what I'd check up with Acer. Hopefully they don't bail the second you say the machine is modified.
Sorry, not really useful. Just saying what I'd go for in your shoes
velvet sage
Yeah I know, that's what I mean, they'll probably not be very helpful
Tho I did install some RAM before and it worked fine, and now nothing except the necessary is connected.
Oh wait nvm
My uncle just unplugged the RAM and put it back in. And now it booted
Let's hope everything else will work
Or the battery for the bios, one of both made it work, probably the battery
hexed fractal
Welp something just not plugged in right hopefully

Question
I’m testing my Z390, and when I turn on the power supply, the lights and rgb turn on for a split second then everything shuts off. What’s wrong?
merry bay
That's completely normal
onyx ember
Why is it turning off?
Like I plug the power in, turn the power supply off and it immediately shuts off
Won’t turn on unless I unplug power and plug back in.
There’s a video of it happening.
@merry bay
merry bay
you're supposed to set it up with your motherboard software, let the system run and let it power down properly for any lighting effects to persist. Not sure if it will even stay when turned off or just in sleep mode.
You haven't tried powering the system itself on yet?
upper wasp
Not sure if this is the correct channel but I am having severe stuttering and freezing issues with the game. The audio cuits out and the game freezes for a second every second or 2. I have no idea why as I have verified game files, updated everything and all. Any suggestions?
onyx ember
@merry bay wdym by the system itself? I haven’t even made it to a boot menu.
merry bay
Well then it's too early for RGB effects
merry bay
no, this is normal behavior for most motherboards. Some PSU's make clicking noises.
onyx ember
Then what do I need to do to get to a post?
merry bay
refer to the manual about "front panel" headers or connectors
need to hook up your power switch
onyx ember
Which connector should that go onto?
onyx ember
Pro
merry bay
personally I'd screw in the motherboard into the case before this step. The tiny cables you're looking for come out of your case. Might be short so more convenient when everything is in place already
onyx ember
No I’ve got them. The have a good amount of length
Testing everything first before I mount everything in case something is screwed up
merry bay
They're also quite fiddly to get in, easily come out. Test it out, as you wish
hard to say how your case cables will be marked, either through wire colours or arrows. Maybe just labels
Try your best to make them match. If you connect anything wrong for these specific headers, it will simply not function. No damage
An arrow indicator near a wire usually means that's a +, a white wire tends to be -, either that or they'll be labeled as + or -

Lemme upload the clip wait
nvm video size bigger than discord limit
fleet canopy
Just do like 1000ms at two seconds ig
merry bay
it's pretty complicated to get a useful reading, because the input is received and processed way before before anything changes on the screen.
In the past the method was wiring an LED directly to the left mouse button switch, so it triggers the LED and send a signal at the same time, then measure with a high speed camera the frames between the LED lighting up and things starting to change on-screen.
sick reef
The LED is practically the most accurate way, à la Battle(Non)Sense.
If you have a good mouse with a good sensor, it's negligible.
Out of all components, the one that will most likely impact you the least is the mouse, assuming you get a good one.
Not only are most top mice literally the same sensor, but they also do very little software wise with the signal.
And as icing on top, you'll adapt yourself to the mouse to the point where it doesn't matter what ever difference there is.
Rocket Ninja Jump tests a ton of mice, and has a great list on how he would judge them as well as why, and also a guide on what could be a good mouse for someone.

gritty timber
i would do that with reds all the time
just resting the finger on the key was enough to trigger it
sick reef
I would get spelling errors due to how I pressed down keys. So yes, lower actuation level, but it was of little use to me, to the point of distracting.
gritty timber
finally matched the color scheme
fuck logitech gaming suite
also holy shit my phone really doesn't like low light
sick reef
Yeah, those most likely.
I need to have extreme tacticle response, and reds make that rather difficult, and low profile makes it nigh on impossible.
I must be able to rest my fingers on the keys with slight pre-pressure.
It's like a trigger. I have to know when it goes off by feel.

i guess
also, if a motherboard doesn't have standoffs installed, would the motherboard just short out right away?
merry bay
modern PSU's would prevent the system from powering up completely. Standoffs go in the case, some cases come pre-installed with too many, can short components this way.
Couple people I know had this happen out of carelessness, the PSU refused to power on fully - protecting the system.
onyx ember
So if my computer is booted up then the motherboard has standoffs protecting it then, correct?
merry bay
I wouldn't rely on it, but if something was wrong you'd know already.
onyx ember
Cause I have these random screws but couldn’t find any information on them.
merry bay
odd for them to have their own bag, but cases often come with spares
onyx ember
Are those the standoffs?
vapid crypt
That must be for m.2s
onyx ember
Cause there’s only two, which I find odd. Looking at the inside it doesn’t look like the motherboard is sitting on the case. It looks a little distanced.

I did a benchmark on it in SotTR. With my previous CPU it would shutdown the game if it was unstable so.
vapid crypt
Okay, well you could try using Prime95
It maxes out load on the CPU completely
Run it for a while and that will ensure absolute stability

Prime95 you have to stop it, so you could run it for hours if you wanted to
