ITS ON DUCKING AIR
Air is just dandy, actually, and is the only way to cool a computer in my book. Water or liquid cooling will fail much sooner than a case with a number of decent quality case fans. Often, people would buy liquid/water cooling to overclock a processor, a bigger case, and/or a huge radiator too. This money could have been better spent on the first go-around by spending more on the processor, and throwing a 40~60$ air cooler on it and still getting a better CPU score (vs a lesser CPU overclocked with 100$ or more of cooling stuck to it). Considering to run a better CPU at stock requires less power, less fancy motherboards can do this too, meaning you don't have to spend as much, there's definitely an argument against water/liquid cooling.
Last thing I need when I am modeling / improving my airport (Los Injurus city map, for BeamNG Drive) in Maya, is water / liquid cooling squirting me in the face and the computer overheating (or the entire tower shorting out and burning down). I don't miss running out of the house carrying burning electronics bad enough to want to go there again (last one was a UPS).

Thankfully, AMD has come to the rescue, saving us from quad core purgatory, and given us wonderful things like the 3700x and the 3950x (which I use here). These can easily be cooled by a Noctua NH D-15 (Or a NH D-15S if you have certain motherboards where clearance is an issue, check Noctua website before purchase to be sure).
copper mason
Sometimes it's nice not to have to overclock it, to know that the only thing that will crash it is bad drivers or Microsoft Windows 10 updating, short of hardware failure itself. Overclocking D0 920's, q6600 G0 SLACR's, Pentium Dual Core E5200's - all three screaming to 4ghz on a good day, sometimes more - almost double the performance - that was great, but for 10~15% it's kind of 'meh'.
Corsair makes a solid case, from mid to high-end. I use Fractal full tower cases here, but I wouldn't shrug off a good deal on a Corsair.
As long as a case gets good airflow, is solidly enough built (this is per-user), IS FILTERED (that's a big one), and does what you need of it (fits all the stuff, or is easy to work on), it's generally a GOOD case.
copper mason
Thankfully, the plague of mid-level and lower market cases - which was sleeve-bearing fans - have mostly gone extinct.
Well sometimes you can get A LOT out of the gpu, especially if it's a mainstream model from one of the AIB's.
copper mason
Yes my Radeon HD 7850 2gb model (ASUS, bought from Newegg in 2013 for a steal, of course), which is in an old Haswell machine (I have an EVGA RTX 2070 Super in here), will easily and readily clock 1ghz on the core when it was 850mhz on stock, netting a cool 15% more speed - only just sliding the power target and clock speed up in Afterburner. I don't overclock anything on this computer, but back when I was using an Athlon II X4 chip I picked out of a broken 25$ computer, yes that 15% boost was nice and quite welcome considering the card at the time cost 150$ on sale. The Asus card still works to this day, fans spin perfect, no rattles or anything - it did spend 3~4 years in it's box though.
(clarification: I wasn't broke, but I didn't do much intense gaming, nor the modeling and content creation I do here, so my machine was great for my needs back then whilst not cooking me out of the room).

For a 17000 dollar build
Best gaming to be had is on the recent AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors, or an intel 10000 series processor. Going HEDT (High End Desk Top) for gaming is a bit wasteful - 98% of games won't make use of it. If you absolutely have to have the most processor power, there's a Threadripper 3000 series, or an EPYC processor, neither of which I'd recommend for gaming but would wholeheartedly endorse for productivity many times over. Games just won't know what to do with more than 8 cores as a general rule, and many won't use more than 4. There are some (such as BeamNG Drive which I mentioned earlier) which will certainly use all the CPU you'll throw at it, but in reality, you don't need to spend more than 5000$ to really have the best of the best of a gaming computer - and spending more than 2500$ on the tower itself is WAY beyond diminishing returns. That said, DO show it off to us whenever you've built it... just make sure you hook it up to a proper high refresh rate monitor, so you can use all that video horsepower.
@north sage Don't bother with SLI or Crossfire dual-video card setups either, it's a gimmick, it's plagued by issues, and it will break many more games than it will assist, even breaking games that cannot use it (though it's nice when it works). You can still run more than one video card (with SLI turned off if needed for gaming) for productivity or scientific work-loads however.
@fast torrent Yes that card is almost identical to my 2070 Super. Loud as heck at boot for about 4 seconds then I never hear it (even when gaming). Runs very cool, but I don't know how it would perform 'overclocking' as I don't try that here. If something goes wrong in game development or content creation, you need to know it's not the computer contributing to it as I said before. I only got the EVGA 2070 Super as it was 'what was in stock' at the time, according to the box it's a 'Gaming Black' card.
I've had it exactly one year and I can say I'm very pleased with it, especially after the debacle of the AMD Radeon drivers in 2019 and early 2020 (that's fixed now?). I couldn't take any more of the Radeon RX 480 8g card freezing up, hitching up, and crashing stuff to desktop - the scrambled desktop on DEC 2 2019 at login was it's last stand. The drivers were literally THAT AWFUL. Not even a re-installation helped, but the card wasn't actually defective. So it sits in a drawer, collecting dust since. I won't even put it in the computer my niece uses to play Minecraft (with mods!) on. The studio ready nvidia drivers that I use are much more solid, though not nearly perfect and only occasionally crash (but only when I am away from the PC, still annoying though).

If you can't hold the rated speed then consider loosening timings OR raising voltage of the RAM just a tiny bit. Back up Windows before attempting this as in rare cases system instability can result in corrupted / non-booting Windows 10 (or make recovery disk if you have not).
Well 3600 mhz may not be realistic for 2700x on all boards in all circumstances. 3200mhz with tighter timings would work possibly.
ex: cas18 3600mhz = cas16 3200mhz in performance charts.

Im trying voltage now how does timing work?

zinc musk
bob
copper mason
The lower the timings, the lower the 'wait' time for the processor trying to access it. Generally, memory is binned and the better stuff does higher MHZ at lower CAS latency timing. I would highly encourage a video (by Gamer's Nexus for example) on youtube to teach you more about it in less time than I could type it in, but basically, if you lower the Mhz of your memory you're trying to run it at, then you can often lower CAS timings with it.
copper mason

Thanks, but why's that? I try to come on before I get some shut-eye and give help to folks who are in the same position I was in a prior time in my life - but back then there were much fewer folks who knew much about the obstacle I was trying to conquer, late at night, to make my machine as fast as I could.

Otherwise, no, I'm just another name on a seemingly endless list of folks in here. I guess pretty is much better than many of the other names - most of which are banned - that I could be called :x
copper mason
@fast torrent Well, possibly, I would check up on youtube to learn about RAM timings, and consider posting to the guru3d forums, or go to your favorite forum of choice for PC hardware and post there in the memory section or failing that (if they don't have a memory section) the motherboard section.

I live in America where pretty much everyone is an immigrant. I was brought up very strict when I was a kid through the 80's into the 90's, and learned early on not to 'see in color'.
copper mason
@fast torrent Well, I wish you well, feel free to experiment with those ram timings some (some boards + RAM may work out of the box, sometimes at speeds faster than advertised, some other combinations can be less beneficial). Just don't forget to make a Windows recovery 'disk' (which can also be a USB drive, usually takes <15 minutes to do this and will save you very much pain later, if your Windows partition goes to partition purgatory without asking ).

@zinc musk Early 90's playing TANK WARS on my friend's dad's computer (his father worked at Lucent Technologies I believe it was, and designed circuit boards), and plus I liked playing Simcity on the one PC at the school when I had free time after school before pickup. So in 1994 I got a used computer which consisted of:
AMD 'AM486' DX / 2 66mhz, no heatsink required
8MB of 'EDO' 72-pin simms (I think it was EDO), it was 4x 2mb sticks.
Motherboard with 6 or so slots, some VLB slots and the rest 16-bit ISA
Trident VLB 512kb super VGA video card
Soundblaster 16 multimedia MPC-1 standard retail kit with 2x Matsushita 'REVEAL' CD-ROM drive
14.4k Hayes-Optima class modem
Windows 3.11 / Windows for Workgroups - Windows 95 didn't come out until around 6 months later I believe.
It ran Doom, Doom II, Rise of the Triad, Duke 3d, Descent, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Simcity/Simcity 2000, Warcraft 1 and 2, and so-forth. Wasn't fast enough to run Quake. It ran the Doom editor DCK 2.2F for DOS though, and for that I loved it. Many nights spent wasted making Doom levels when I could have been out with friends causing mischief and getting arrested.
zinc musk
no heatsink required
copper mason
It came with non-powered speakers which plugged into the headphone port, and a 15" 1024x768 SVGA monitor... but I was happy.
copper mason
@zinc musk I believe it did not have a heatsink, if it did, it was a very small one, glued to the chip a half-inch tall and green (I'm a bit foggy about that at the moment).
zinc musk

Yes, I'm getting a bit long in the tooth, I've already started getting a nice large patch of grey hair in my beard - so I shave more now - but my love for computers hasn't waned (just my patience for overclocking has, more of the set-it-and-forget-it type now).
copper mason
The only thing that was bad about the AM486 chip is that even though it was a DX class chip (which included a math coprocessor built in, equal to the 80486 'i486' DX class chips from intel), it did not have very good FPU performance as the intel or slightly-better Cyrix 486 options. Cyrix never did any real work to the FPU after the fact and was killed off by Quake (and then bought by VIA eventually, yes, THAT VIA). The AMD line eventually evolved a few generations until K6 / K6-2 where it subsequently took off like fire.
@zinc musk Alright, same to you, I will surely see you in the future. Goodnight.

@lone pond yes it was wonderful, let me tell you. It wasn't the greatest, but it could do 16-color at 1024 x 768 I believe. I don't think 512kb VRAM was enough to do 8-bit color on 1024x768 ... once you got up to that resolution, graphics RAM required went up very very quickly.

@stark gyro The 3080 comes with a 12-pin (gpu) to dual 8-pin adapter I believe, in the box, the contents should be listed on the sales page. Most all 3000 series cards will come with that adapter.

np
copper mason
@stark gyro It will go like this: Power supply > 8 pin cables > adapter 8pin or dual 8-pin to 12-pin GPU plug > GPU
elder sandal
yeah, do you still have any extra 8 pin cables that came with your psu that ur not using?
copper mason
Cables can be ordered, if needed; but caution: Make sure to check your power supply make and model (and revision if applicable!) with a replacement cable vendor's website to cross-check compatibility if ordering replacement cables or upgraded cables from someone other than the power supply manufacturer. This will make sure that using said 'new' cables will not short the PC leading to a no-boot or worse a damaged PC. The included 8-pin to 12-pin adapter that comes with the new GPU will work with any power supply's PCI-E power cables, provided the power supply is large enough and can push the watts required of the new video card. A 750 watt power supply, even if it is 2~3 years old is overkill for most (98%) of today's gaming computers. All but the absolute power-munching monsters can use a 750 watt power supply even with a 3090 and not have much of an issue - and still room to spare. E.G. a 600 watt power supply can run a 2070 Super, a stock Ryzen 3950x, x570 motherboard, lots of ram, a half dozen or more SSD's, a sound card, and a spider's nest of USB devices.
@stark gyro If you are upgrading your existing GPU, you remove the old GPU and can use the cables that you plugged the old video card in after plugging in the 12-pin (included) adapter.
stark gyro
Oh okay. I should be fine then.
copper mason
Basically, if you have an existing gaming computer, whether bought pre-built or piece-by-piece and built by you, and you wish to upgrade the video card, just plug the new video card in where the old one is, and plug the power cables back in after adding the new included-with-gpu-purchase adapter to the old cables, so that the new 12-pin power plug on the new Nvidia 3000 series GPU can be plugged into by the older-but-universal 8-pin power cables. Caution: Many power supplies come with cables that are a 6-pin + a 2-pin to make use of both 6-pin and 8-pin sockets on video cards. Some cards use one six pin, some use one eight pin, some use a combination of both or even THREE of one type. Your 750 watt power supply should have PLENTY of cables that came with it. If you have 6+2pin cables, those can plug into the same spot where an 8-pin cable goes. Just don't mix up your CPU POWER cable with the PCI-E (GPU) cables and you will be fine. The CPU POWER one is one of the smaller power cables going to your motherboard, for future reference (that's the one you DO NOT want).
stark gyro
Since I'm upgrading my desktop GPU, I'm thinking of getting a case for my old GPU so I can connect my laptop to it. Can anyone recommend a good external GPU case?
I think I have the 6+2
copper mason
Removing an old GPU is about as easy as opening the case, having the system OFF (hit the switch on your power supply, surge protector, or unplug the power supply from the wall), removing one or two screws that hold the card in, disconnecting the monitor from it and any PCI-E power cables (you need to plug these in later), and releasing the latch on the 'front' part of the slot against the motherboard where the GPU meets the motherboard, and pulling it straight out. Then you plug the new GPU into the slot where the old one was, and reverse this procedure (screw in the screw, plug in the PCI-E power cables with the new adapter, and hook up the monitor, you do NOT need to fiddle with the latch on the motherboard, it clicks in automatically, make sure card goes in straight!).
Occasionally, especially with regards to thumb screws, sometimes the screw below the GPU can prevent you from removing the card, you may need to remove or loosen it to then free the card.
elder sandal
laptop hardware is different for a lot of laptops
ur gonna have to look at ur manual
or if theres a disassembly guide for yours like there is for mine
use that
copper mason
@stark gyro If you wish to use an external GPU, it can be quite expensive, sometimes for those not so tech savvy or very inexperienced, it may be easier to sell the old laptop for some cash and get a laptop with a newer AMD Ryzen mobile processor or recent intel processor if budget allows (either one is good, though the AMD ones are very well rated for the price and not slow by any means).
stark gyro
That's an option.
copper mason
For some reason most of the makers of external GPU enclosures decided to make them prohibitively expensive from a value standpoint. It can be easier to sell the old card.
Just make sure your newly upgraded desktop is in complete working order after you upgrade, and runs games as you wish it to, and does not strangely crash (you will need to install new drivers to use the new hardware though) before selling the old components / cards.
stark gyro
Anyone wanna by a Razer laptop? 😄
copper mason
@stark gyro The biggest hurdle to using an external GPU enclosure (and GPU) on a laptop computer is the interface it uses to plug into the laptop. You will have to have 'wall power' whenever you use the external GPU, too. It won't run off laptop power at all. Keep this in mind. If you do a lot of gaming in your hotel room, this is okay, but it won't be able to make you the block's CS: GO champion while on the plane to or from your vacation, though.

They can be slightly different and I killed my boot and storage drive when I did...
Must have been damaged somehow. If your PSU has the same output it should have been fine unless your wires were scuffed.
Electrically it shouldn't make a difference and I doubt that was the issue.
Even if your PSU had a different wattage, the storage drive will draw the same amount of power.

So anyone got hands on one?

Like can it handle

up to 16gb of ram is good for gaming and productivity. for content creation no

oh well I never had streamed so not sure how much ram does it draw
but im pretty sure you will be ok

Should I get an rtx 3090 with 5700x or 3080 with 5950x?
Go with the 3080, the 3090 isn't worth the extra ~13-15% performance for that price.
5950X is also overkill for most applications. The 5900X is better price:performance
At least where I'm located.

they got stock for like an hour. but the website was sending a lot of errors due to overload xD

north sage
Is the i9 10900k with 3080 good
shell mesa
yes that is more than enough \
north sage
With the i9 running at max overclock
dawn plover
pretty sweet combo right there
shell mesa
i mean i have seen one run fine on a 10600k
dawn plover
you got sub ambient cooling or sum?
tbh a 3600 and 3080 will be fine if you stay playing at 2k, iirc once it scales up to 4k, the cpu starts to bottleneck the gpu
dawn plover
smh
north sage
Is the lian li o11 dynamic good for this build
shell mesa
yes if you can get enough case fans
dawn plover
yes, if you find a good airflow configuration for the case
it's a wonky case imo cuz of the big amount of fans needed to mantain airflow
and even then airflow configurations are kinda wonky
but tempered glass is worth it
shell mesa
i mean if you need it i would go with the air
dawn plover
and with to o11 dynamic you get lots of space to water-cool
which is nice to work with
north sage
Is a bottom fan a 3 fan aio and a side fan good
I am not water cooling
I just don’t understand that shi!
dawn plover
water gets thy heat and takes it to the radiator for it to be dispersed, then water cools down and comes back to cpu, gets the heat, and so on

6900 XT dropped today
and it doesn't look like it can fully compete with 3090
but oh well
yea
dawn plover
well for its price, it looks like it performs well, except when you start to venture into ray-tracing and all that
dusky magnet
yea price to performance its really good
lone pond
Well, those cards only benefit are the vram
The perf is uh...eh
dusky magnet
$500 less than the 3090 with almost on par performance besides rendering and rasterization
lone pond
You could get a 3080 instead
dusky magnet
yea
tru
it does beat the 3080 in most titles to be fair to it
bitwit said by like 5-7%
which is pretty low
lone pond
3090 & 6900 xt seems like cards mean't for people that need to use the amount of vram it has.
dusky magnet
yea
lone pond
Not like to game and such
dusky magnet
except 6900 xt is still using gddr6 and sam and lower latency doesn't necessarily help it
north sage
The 3090 is just a better card
dusky magnet
yea the price tho for it
north sage
Ya
dusky magnet
the 6900 xt is more compelling
north sage
True but if you need it you decently have a job that makes money
1500 for that card is insane
You could get it sli also
dusky magnet
yea its the same thing except for gpu's this time for AMD you get close to performance at a lower cost
lone pond
the 6900 xt is more compelling
It is but imo, 3080 seems like a better choice due to dlss
north sage
Yes that was their point by earlier but now they are just going for price
dusky magnet
3080 is still better and is only behind like i said earlier 5-7% in gaming which is very low for a 1000 dollar card
yea
who knows maybe by 4000 series ray tracing wont have the giant fps drop it does now still
