#

I dont know about liquid ones never messed with them dont know how hard it is to keep them maintained

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

AIOs are easy

#

They don't require much work at all, just follow a video as it's really easy

#

Customs are just more expensive and actually requires more maintenance

cinder crypt Jul 31, 2021, 3:25 PM

#

Do you use an AIO

#

I'm just trying to figure if I want to cause it might eventually leak

#

And I dont want it to leak on my components

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

I think an AIO leaking would be pretty rare, unless the AIO was damaged in some way

#

Which is also not that common

cinder crypt Jul 31, 2021, 3:27 PM

#

So a AIO should last a long time with out issue?

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 3:28 PM

#

Yeah, should be like that

#

There is a Shadow Rock 3, performance was apparently like the Dark Rock Pro 4, which is like a top tier air cooler I guess

#

maybe a little wrong

#

But for 50$~ it's not bad I guess, 30$ less than a DRP4

#

I'm not so smart on the AIOs because I never actually looked and got one for myself

#

So just go to Gamers Nexus for reviews on these, they're going to have them most of the time

cinder crypt Jul 31, 2021, 3:31 PM

#

Yea I think im just gonna get a air cooler

#

I looked up videos

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 3:32 PM

#

yeah good air coolers can do good when compared to AIOs

cinder crypt Jul 31, 2021, 3:32 PM

#

Any good air cooler recommendations?

#

#

There's this one but

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 3:34 PM

#

Shadow Rock 3, as I've said, pretty good

#

There's a Hyper 212 Evo which is dirt cheap but really great

#

I checked if it does well with 5800X, it should be able to if you're not gonna mess around with OC settings

#

It's pretty much a stock cooler in a way for Intel because intel gives crap coolers

#

But overall it's a great cooler unless you were to go for higher end coolers like a 5900X and higher

cinder crypt Jul 31, 2021, 3:37 PM

#

Nah I think ryzen 9 is overkill

#

Ryzen 7 is a good In between

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 3:39 PM

#

I know, I'm just saying Hyper 212 doesn't work well with an i9/R9 that well, and does alright with everything else

cinder crypt Jul 31, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

I might just go with it it looks ugly as hell

#

But apparently it gets the job done and is quiet

#

People were saying under stress tests it only went up to 65c and idle was 28

NH-D15 is one of the top air coolers on the market, but make sure you have room for it in your case

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

There is an NH-D15s something, it's probably a smaller version

#

But I would expect same performance

barren wadi Jul 31, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

the U14 is a single tower cooler i think

#

if i got the name right tinkin

#

there have been 212 competitors showing up everywhere and some are even better for the same price

#

arctic freezer 34

#

arctic makes great fans with similar performance to noctua's for a fraction of the price

#

or theres thermaltake's new fans which are carbon copies of noctuas design

dry hollow Jul 31, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

Fuma 2 is a good air cooler if you're looking at something that can compete with 280mm aio's

ornate sparrow Jul 31, 2021, 7:05 PM

#

D14 is a single D15 tower, D15S is a high-compatibility version. It shifts the cooler towers up to make room for a GPU in the top slot

barren wadi Aug 1, 2021, 7:10 AM

fleet canopy Aug 5, 2021, 6:28 PM

viral geode Aug 5, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

The D15 cleared mine. But I've honestly been thinking of upgrading my RAM

#

My motherboard is an ASRock B450 a/c so I'm not sure if it's compatible with 16gb sticks

fleet canopy Aug 5, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

Just check how much RAM your motherboard can do

#

Most do at least 64GB

#

Smaller boards may only support just 64 or as low as 32GB

#

But it doesn't matter how much each RAM has, as long as you're not exceeding the motherboard's RAM limit

#

The only thing to really check with RAM and motherboards are soon whether it's DDR4 or DDR5, how much capacity there can be, and how many slots, whether you might think of having 4 sticks of RAM

At some certain temps, it'll start 50%, and rise the hotter it gets

But that shouldn't get too hot unless you don't clean PC and/or don't have good airflow for GPU

Be sure about ordering a G7 though, it's a great monitor and all, but some people didn't like the curve that the monitor has

It's an unusual curve for a monitor that isn't a widescreen, like the G9

Depends on your needs, if you will buy the most expensive one it will just be a waste, if you buy the cheapest one chanses are you wont use other components to the full extent so you will have to do research, everything depends on the components you have if you just want an upgrade.

I meant that all components count not just cpu and gpu since even the ssd might be under powered or overpowered not including the PSU or ram (ram shouldn't be a big deal, also it depends if you are planing to overclock it or not (I noticed earlier that you were not so probably you wont need a very expensive one but again picking the right thing will take some time)) and sorry im not going to give you a definitive answer on what exact part to buy.

Hey guys, hope you all are doing good, i have an issue with my gpu fans, the gpu i have is GIGABYTE''s RTX 3070 ti Gaming OC, the issue is that the fans are silent until the gpu temp goes to 55c and then they start turning but when the temp gets low enough all fans stop spinning except that last fan (most right fan), it doesnt stop spinning and runs at 100% speed, i tried to tweak it in MSI afterburner and tried Aorus engine, nothing seems to work, when i go to the bios however, the fans stop spinning and act normal.

merry bay Aug 27, 2021, 9:08 AM

#

the behavior is different in bios, possibly because of drivers installed on windows or software taking over

might have a few utilities that have saved settings and default to that once in windows. some overwrite others, so I'd think back about every program you used that can control fans and check each

#

wouldn't hurt to clean things up with DDU and reinstalling GPU drivers too

The max my 3900x gets to with a single fan with my D15 is like 71C

850W gold rated is the best recommendation always.

If I was at home I can show you a doc I made with a co-worker on psu ratings

Zotacs are usually garbage at OC especially the 20 series cards. If you want to do 4K then you would want like a better 3070 or 3080 or higher.

Efficiency rating means nothing when it comes to how well built a unit is, some of those brands you mentioned have poor quality units at 80+ gold

@cinder cryptthat psu is way too much unless you're planning on upgrading to a high-end 30 series gpu

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

oh i know

#

i eventually plan to

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:44 PM

the components with no price are the ones you've already bought?

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

yes

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

okay so i have a few reccomendations i'd make

#

nh d-15 => dark rock pro 4

#

it's smaller and not that much worse performance wise

#

second off i'd change the ram to 3600 or 3733 mhz(best for ryzen from what i've heard) cl16

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:46 PM

ok ive heard that and ive thought about that but ive heard somewhere it doesnt seem to work as well with 5000 series

let me research

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

i dont know where but in my head ive felt like ive seen it

#

cause i did research

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

what temps are you looking for?

#

imo anything below 80c is fine

#

but you may disagree

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

low temps not high yea right now my current pc with a 2700 sometimes goes over 80 which i dont like

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

alright so from what im reading it hits 87c with drp4

#

highest ive read

#

ive also seen a 66 and a 79

#

and nhd15 is at around 80

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

and also another reason i wanted to go with nh is cause my case has room for it \

#

so at most a 7c diffrence

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

at most

#

and like idk if the issue persists but most ryzen 3000 series had tons of room for undervolting

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

undervolting

#

?

#

im still new to most of the meanings

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

supplying lower voltage to the cpu

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

hmmm

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:52 PM

#

nothing bad comes from it

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

also im fine with 3600 ram speed funny enough my prebuilt is running 1300mhz it seems like and i dont know the actuall speed cause i have not pulled them they are offbrand anyway

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

is 1300mhz the infinity fabric speed or the speed you're running at

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

and im just wanting 2 16 gb sticks not really any need for anymore

#

i dont know im using icue for my corsair mat

#

and was telling me a ram speed

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 5:58 PM

#

in either case you should turn on xmp

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

#

those are the ram sticks that came with it

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

that looks like 2133mhz ram to me

#

turn on xmp man

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

dont know how haven't messed with bios yet

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

did you jsut get it?

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

nah i have had for 3 years almost

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

bro.

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

i just never had the interest to but i need to

#

probably

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

yeahhhh

#

you do

#

and you'll have to go into the bios to undervolt too unless u want to do through ryzen master

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

what does undervolting do any way

#

like i know it reduce voltage

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

it literally gives less volts to the cpu

#

lower temps

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

ah

#

ok

#

got it

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

longer lifespan cuz of lower temps

#

and performance will stay the same if you do it right

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

#

@abstract kite

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:23 PM

give me a sec

#

can you look for xmp?

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

where might that be

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

check those 4 first

#

ignoring 2nd

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:25 PM

where might xmp be

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:26 PM

#

i told you to check those 4 first options

#

wait here i found exact steps

#

ai tweaker

#

ai overclock tuner

#

xmp1

#

or docp

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:29 PM

#

hmmm

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:29 PM

just search around man

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:32 PM

yea i dont see an option in overclock

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:32 PM

pretty sure you can scroll down

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

yea there isnt an option

#

in this motherboard at least

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

your motherboard supports

#

xmp/docp

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

only thing i see with oc is oc tuner and it only has 2 settings

#

keep current

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

and?

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:34 PM

#

or oc tuner which adjust automatically

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:35 PM

what is in "memory frequency"

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

al the speeds

#

that i can set them to

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

Imagine having xmp on 2133mhz

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

bro this shit is confusing asf

#

first off

#

2133hz is the base clock for ddr4

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:36 PM

#

this board doesnt look like it was in anyway meant for oc

#

cause ive only seen 1 setting for oc

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:37 PM

Whats your mobo and cpu

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:37 PM

i thought

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:38 PM

no i literally asked if the ones that are listen as 0 dollars on that list

are installed

and you were like "yes"

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:38 PM

you said do you have those

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

that's fair

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:39 PM

never asked if i had them installed

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:39 PM

i thought it's implied

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

...

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

the motherboard in my prebuilt is

#

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:40 PM

#

Ah prime series

#

From what I guess is 1st or 2nd gen

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:40 PM

#

i think this one is 1st gen

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

If is first gen you're gonna struggle to overclock hard

#

1st gen Ryzen can overclock but very limited

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

2nd gen has II next to a

#

are you talking about cpu?

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

B450 Prime A II is remodel or revision

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

ah the cpu im using is 2nd gen

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

should he just input the values manually?

#

at this point

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

Okay

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

its a 2700

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

You can minor overclock it

#

The board is not meant to overclock hard because the vrms

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

board can't supply enough power to overclock

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

Putting the values manually on that board is not recommended

#

I would just overclock the ram to 2400 if possible

#

Default 2700 base is fine

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

as it is its set to 2666mhz

#

automatically

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

Just depends what ram manufacturer is from

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

how is 2133mhz ram

#

set at 2666mhz?

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:44 PM

#

idk its set on auto

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:44 PM

#

Cool you did auto LOL

#

Just beware of hiccups

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

there realy isnt any settings to adjust them except the timings

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

I overclocked my ram from 3000 to 3200mhz

#

Yes the timings matter

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

and i dont know how much it can take

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

timings matter more than anything else tbh but i got no idea how to set them

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

cause like i said its offbrand ram

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:45 PM

#

Your timing is CL19 so very limited

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

its evo potenza geil

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:46 PM

#

you dont set CL timings ever. It stays like that from the manufacturer

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

cl is like the last?

#

xx-xx-xx-xx(cl)

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

CL14-19

#

Example

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

no 1st number

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

3200MHZ CL16 beats 3600MHZ CL19

#

But it can change if you're using apu or intergrated graphics

#

4000mhz cl19 is a big joke

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

that's like cheapo 4000mhz angrylaugh2

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

btw any ram suggestions

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

trident z is what i have and i pick it over corsair any day

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:49 PM

CL timings is the reason why manufacturers and stores wont take back

ram im going to use is in there

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:50 PM

Corsair, G.Skill TridentZ/Ripjaws V, Kingston HYPERX

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:50 PM

if you have any suggestions i would just like 2 16 sticks

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:50 PM

If you're cheap then Tforce and g.skill aegis

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:50 PM

i think he wants rgb

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

yea

#

rgb and fast speeds

#

im not cheaping out

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

If RGB Corsair Vengence RGB

#

They have a new model

#

If you want solid performance then Gskill TridentZ cl14 or cl15

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

the one i have selected is the corsair vengeance rgb pro sl 3600 with cl of 19

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:51 PM

Beware that your mobo will bottleneck the ram but you can take it to next build

Check mobo if it supports the ram kit

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:52 PM

wifi

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:52 PM

Check mobo if it supports

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:52 PM

wifi is uesless btw ^^

#

like don't buy a mobo just cuz it has wifi

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

The onboard wifi is not useless

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

it's not something you should base your motherboard choice on though

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

You have to know whats on the board itself first

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

nah i wasnt

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

X570 plus wifi is a solid mid range board

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

its nice to have if you dont have any ethernets

#

in your house

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

you can get a usb wifi antena

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

...

#

That is the worst thing ever

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

that is far faster than my onboard wifi on my old mobo

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

You have to deal with hiccups, overheating issues, and latency

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

the only reason i have some sort ethernet cause my dad bought ero

#

ero pros

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

Get a PCIE wifi card if you do that

#

I only recommend usb wifi for light work and light gaming

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

the difference in latency isn't that big

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 6:56 PM

ther ero im talking about is a mesh wifi system

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:56 PM

Onboard wifi has improved over the years

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:56 PM

like around 10ms

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 6:56 PM

Except on MSI

abstract kite Sep 2, 2021, 6:56 PM

the tomahawk b450 was good

that was horrible luck/shipping tho ima assume

ok so are the 18 cl corsair stil good you think

#

or no ive heard that they perform good still with cl 18

#

i mean in all terms it would still be better then what i currently have

proper wren Sep 2, 2021, 7:09 PM

Id go with 3200mhz cl16

Since they're cheap now

cinder crypt Sep 2, 2021, 7:09 PM
