what kind of cpu would be a decent match for a 12gb 3060, maybe upgrade in a year or so and be fine with the new gpu then.
#want to upgrade to ryzen and a new mobo/ddr5 but not sure
drowsy mountain
DDR5 is only AM5 and 12/13/14th gen
river lynx
would a 7 5800x 3d not work in am5
or maybe a 7800x3d
future proofed i suppose
bro remember like 2 weeks ago u were helping me w the pc being dodgy, sent it back and turns out it was the gpu being dead, along side a ram stick and the ssd😳 got the email to say it had been repaired this morning
drowsy mountain
5800x3d is AM4
river lynx
So if I get a 7800x3d and 32gb of ddr5 6000 will I be good to upgrade the gpu in a year or so and still be fine for the future plus what kind of psu would I need I think I have 650w rn
versed star
I'd personally say you would be fine with a 650W PSU
drowsy mountain
So if I get a 7800x3d and 32gb of ddr5 6000 will I be good to upgrade the gpu in...
And motherboard
river lynx
Yeah yeah to like one of the am5 atx ones
Like £130 or something right? Idk
Then the cpu like 350 and the ram maybe 150
drowsy mountain
Ram more like £120 and motherboard £150 so yeah same thing
river lynx
I had a problem w my case tho so I’d end up having to try get that fixed too the fans are always at max rpm and don’t show up in bios or software idk why
I asked them to have a look at it when they were repairing it so they may have sorted it for me not sure tho
drowsy mountain
Should be fine
river lynx
What would happen if I took the SSD out of my PC that I already have and then put it into the new motherboard would it work or
drowsy mountain

Yes it would work
Might need a windows reinstall though
river lynx
What really I thought I need a new SSD, but maybe not on the repair remember when we said the GPU might be broken. It was ram and the SSD as well somehow how would that even happen? lol
The ram ssd and gpu have had to be replaced on a 4 month old pc 😂
drowsy mountain
What really I thought I need a new SSD, but maybe not on the repair remember whe...
Errh, really bad luck or PSU? Weird
river lynx
They not replaced the psu so if the stuff goes dodgy again I’ll tell them that might be a better option lol they emailed and said they replaced the parts and tested it and it all passed so idk
Only 1 stick of ram replaced tho so maybe something with dpd the driver doing drifts or smt 😂
drowsy mountain
It will be fine aha
river lynx
Hopefully
The way big Gary took it off me and banged it into the van I’m not surprised
Shocked that it got there in one piece tbh
drowsy mountain
Lool
river lynx
Will they resend it with a new sealed air thing in you think? Cba with it arriving damaged
drowsy mountain
Will they resend it with a new sealed air thing in you think? Cba with it arrivi...
Won't need a new one (maybe they use a new one? You can just reuse it tho)
It will be perfect
river lynx
Mine was messed up wouldn’t even fit in it properly I had to like improvise
Hopefully they just use a new one for the sake of it
Probs about 2 quid each
Anyway give urself a pat on the back as a pc fault diagnoser, correct on the fact it was gpu, added it may be storage and questioned the ram
Well done good sir
drowsy mountain
Hopefully it all works out!
They will be shipping it optimally, don't know if that means it needs a new one or not.
All it's doing is supporting the GPU
river lynx
Ah well it’s only a 3060 so not sagging or anything hopefully be fine either way
drowsy mountain
Ah well it’s only a 3060 so not sagging or anything hopefully be fine either way
Yeah, it will be fine
river lynx
Tbh the laptop I went and bought smokes the pc performance wise so I’m gonna use the laptop for now til I can upgrade the pc sometime later in the year
fair sigilBOT
:tada: Congrats @river lynx, you levelled up to 5! :tada:
drowsy mountain
Tbh the laptop I went and bought smokes the pc performance wise so I’m gonna use...
I would of suggested to pay the difference and upgrade but not sure if you can do that now
river lynx
Probably still in the refund period for the laptop so I could just spend some of the money I spent on the laptop on the parts
And be up a few hundred
Although if the pc goes dodgy again then idk where I stand bc If I modify it then it’s probs my problem
drowsy mountain
You can modify it however you like if you don't damage it, the original pc parts will still be under warranty
versed star
and if you're ever unsure, can always ask us
river lynx
I could get a 4070 and a 7800x3d 32gb of ddr5 and some kind of aio for the price I payed on the laptop if I was to refund it
drowsy mountain
My PC warranty ends in June, after that ima try do a small form factor build
river lynx
I’ve seen a few of them the itx builds
Some guy on YouTube called optimum his vids are good he’s done a few of them
drowsy mountain
I could get a 4070 and a 7800x3d 32gb of ddr5 and some kind of aio for the price...
Yeah
drowsy mountain
Some guy on YouTube called optimum his vids are good he’s done a few of them
I love him
river lynx
I watch him all the time ngl a few other ppl too but he’s my favourite for pcs and stuff
There’s another guy pc centric or something he does builds and stuff
drowsy mountain
Yeah
river lynx
I heard the case I have is meant to be fairly quiet but as I say my fans are like
Jets and idk why
drowsy mountain
What case?
river lynx
It’s a lancool 216
drowsy mountain
I have the same case
drowsy mountain
When it wasn't tuned it was SO BAD
drowsy mountain
Oooh I know what happened
river lynx
Hopefully they fixed it at the repair and if not I’m gonna need a detailed guide as soon as I get the pc back
drowsy mountain
It's an easy mistake to make tbf
drowsy mountain
Hopefully they fixed it at the repair and if not I’m gonna need a detailed guide...
They would of
river lynx
Doesn’t it need to be in the fan hub part at the back
drowsy mountain
You will know if you need to fix it
river lynx
I’ve been watching countless guides and stuff now I’ve realised it’s fairly easy to build a pc
I was always afraid of the wiring tbh
Like i didn’t know where to plug what but I’ve been doing some research
drowsy mountain
It's easy to build a PC but the perks of prebuilts are quite massive
river lynx
The warranty part for me has come in clutch
drowsy mountain
For instance, you would be waiting atleast a month for parts to come
river lynx
I’m sure they’ll send the broken parts off to msi etc but I’ve got the new gpu straight away
So
drowsy mountain
Exactly
river lynx
It’s way better
drowsy mountain
💯
river lynx
They can get their warranty claim at no cost to me and I’m sorted w the new gpu
Is a 3060 12gb still even okay idek
versed star
a 3060 is still a very capable card, yes
river lynx
Managed to run some resident evil 8 at max settings at like 100 fps I only play on 1080 atm tho so idk but the cpu holds the pc back that’s why I wanna upgrade
river lynx
Can’t you replace the 4070 like warranty claim or anything
drowsy mountain
Refunded to Amazon
river lynx
Ah well at least u got the money back
drowsy mountain
Yes
I was going to buy another GPU but I'm going to give myself a bit more time with my current build
river lynx
As far as I know if I stay on 1080p the 3060 12g should be perfectly fine for some time right? Just the cpu is poo
drowsy mountain
Yes it's fine
Do you struggle with games? If not, don't upgrade
Don't get FOMO cause you aren't missing out
river lynx
Don’t exactly struggle but the motherboard I have is shit too the ram speeds and that like sometimes it did stutter and stuff yeah and like id prefer more than 90 fps in rust tbh
And it’s the cpu and ram limiting that so
And cpu intensive games it’s like 200fps or less sometimes on medium or even low
drowsy mountain
Motherboard != Performance unless thermal throttling
river lynx
the case was freezing inside nothing was getting too hot trust me
Them fans bro
Was middle of December that pc was like a snow blaster it was icy air I’m telling you
Had to put socks on because of it toes were like ice blocks under the desk
river lynx
Is pc part picker outdated now?
I’m trying to configure what I’ll upgrade with and the am5 and cpu aren’t even on there wtf
If the fans aren’t fixed when I get the pc back can you help me fix it plz 😳
drowsy mountain
Is pc part picker outdated now?
No
river lynx
The am5 socket and the cpu aren’t showing up
drowsy mountain
I’m trying to configure what I’ll upgrade with and the am5 and cpu aren’t even o...
You can't put certain components together
river lynx
They don’t come up anyway
river lynx
I fixed it
I think it was because I had an old selection of ddr4
Would that be ok
Tbh I hate rgb but they don’t seem to do like a minimalist water cooler thing
drowsy mountain
AIO is overpriced for what it is
drowsy mountain
Tbh I hate rgb but they don’t seem to do like a minimalist water cooler thing
360mm liquid freezer aio
river lynx
Ahh yeah looks nice the black one with 3 fans only £60 too
Will get that then won’t be getting the stuff now but will at some point
drowsy mountain
You can also get upgrades from cpuk directly if you wish
river lynx
Does it come with warranty from them too?
If so id probably think about that tbh because i cba breaking it although id like to learn
river lynx
Do u think it’s worth it or am I better doing it myself for the experience
How badly could it go wrong I know about the static and stuff
drowsy mountain
Pros and cons for both
river lynx
Tbh I’d probably do it myself then I’ll know how to do it for the future
In case I had to
drowsy mountain
Static doesn't really matter anymore, don't wear socks, don't build on carpet, you can ground yourself and it's fine
river lynx
Ah well I’d probably be fine then as long as I fix the fans on that case I’ll never need socks in this room again 😂
When yours was like a jet did it blow some arctic air out the back or just mine
drowsy mountain
Yeah everything was cold
river lynx
Even like hours into a game genuinely cold like if you open the freezer and stand infront of it idk why
drowsy mountain
yeah
river lynx
If it’s not sorted I’ll have to try and plug them in myself somehow
drowsy mountain
It's going to be fine
river lynx
The scary part about something with the mobo is like
Flashing bios or something
Idk wtf to do
And would I even have to with a am5 and new chip idk
drowsy mountain
Noice
river lynx
What does rma even stand for
