cpus-mobo-and-memory

[untold jay]

Oh y’all don’t have that bot

[burnt spear]

What's the mobo

[untold jay]

B450M-HDV R4.0

ASRock

[burnt spear]

Yeah, that needs a bios update

[untold jay]

Damn

So thermal paste

Actually nvm

Would it matter at all if I’m just doing a quick flip flop of my cpu the thermal paste that was pre-applied to the cooler

Would it take a bunch off

[burnt spear]

Not a clue

[untold jay]

Ok

Old cpu back in

But no dice

Wh-

I just manually shorted the power button pins

And it lit up

Wtf

Powe button be wildin

Ok so I think it might of been my power button

But no harm in updating my bios

[untold jay]

Let’s go

It lives

😅

[frosty depot]

[untold jay]

so either nzxt cam is buggin or ima need some new thermal paste

77 C at idle?

[burnt spear]

Sounds like bad mount

[untold jay]

i mean swapping the cpus kinda took some of the pre-applied thermal paste

and i screwed it down until the screws literally didnt spin anymore

the screws have a built in stopper or something

cause i physically cant screw it anymore

[desert jungle]

best cpu/mobo budget deal??

[grizzled bloom]

This leaves room to upgrade the CPU later to 13th gen https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BgCq68

[untold jay]

is there a particular paste thats really good for the money or is any of the brand name stuff good enough for the 5600x

[desert jungle]

thanks

[burnt spear]

Mx-4 I believe

[grizzled bloom]

MX-4 is excellent and about $5 a tube

[desert jungle]

im running a 5800x3d

i just used the prepaste that came with the EK

[untold jay]

bet

[grizzled bloom]

That's fine usually with the stock paste

[untold jay]

yea

[desert jungle]

temps are fine :\

[untold jay]

but some of the paste got taken with the cpu swap so its a bit thin

[desert jungle]

wipe it and put a new coat

[untold jay]

of what?

i needa buy some

[desert jungle]

i honestly have never got caught up in paste i just use the cheap stuff

havent burnt out a cpu yet lol

[untold jay]

lol

i think itll be fine for now

but idle temp are a bit high

[eternal helm]

Mx4 is nice stuff, pretty cheap too

[grizzled bloom]

It just won't boost as high until you get those temps under control

[dull flint]

77C idle is only 13C of boost headroom lol

[untold jay]

yep

hence why im gonna buy some and do a new coat

[grizzled bloom]

Toothpaste is ok to use for temporary thermal paste btw

[desert jungle]

smells good too lol

[grizzled bloom]

At least for a few days until Amazon gets you the mx4

[untold jay]

wut

[grizzled bloom]

No cap

[untold jay]

i didnt know that but i dont really wanna try to manage the aftermath

[desert jungle]

gotta be paste and not gel right lol

[grizzled bloom]

https://youtu.be/v08FWIvrYGU

LTT even tested it recently lol

[untold jay]

ima just leave that in "its possible but oh hell no"

[grizzled bloom]

Gel would probably work but will have a higher water concentration so more risky

[grizzled bloom]

Maybe in the "worst case scenario" bin instead

[untold jay]

yea lol

[dull flint]

Gel = hydronaut moment

I wanna write to LTT and get them to bench different toothpastes

[untold jay]

kinda suspicious

[grizzled bloom]

With a threadripper for good measure right? A true stress and longevity test

[untold jay]

my psu a little spicy rn

[desert jungle]

anyone try the amd noise suppression?

[eternal helm]

Can't that be electrically conductive tho?

[grizzled bloom]

A little. It depends on which one you use.

Just don't put too much

[eternal helm]

For sure

[ruby basin]

my friend bought a 3060 and couldn't use it since he has a omen hp with 6th gen cpu the guy at the store said to him that he cant use the 3060 with the old gen and it requires 10+ gen
is it true?

[burnt spear]

That is not true at all

Like, at all at all

You can run a 3090 ti with an i7-760

[cursive epoch]

Sounds like the psu isn't enough

Considering it's an old omen

OEMs generally never used psus over than what the parts they came with needed

[grizzled bloom]

Sounds like that friend doesn't know that PCIe versions are intercompatible with each other

[vernal cosmos]

Its ok but krisp is better

[long geyser]

Ignoring CPU/GPU perf bottlenecks, the only PCIe issues would be bandwidth related and would only generally be caused by the GPU having only a few lanes to deal with.

For example the RX6500 has only four PCIe lanes, of which can be gen1 - gen4. At gen3 and lower there just isn't enough bandwidth to keep up with the GPU perf. So if your system only supports upto gen3 then the RX6500 will have worse perf then stock.

The 3060 has 16 lanes with support ranging from gen1 to gen4, so bandwidth won't be an issue.

[long geyser]

And it kinda trash too lol.

Then again, bunch of stuff implemented in Discord isn't good (or well implemented)

[amber canopy]

@vernal cosmos do you still have that 3600X of yours

[vernal cosmos]

yes

[amber canopy]

alright

[desert jungle]

is the rx6600 any good?

not the xt

[amber canopy]

Im going to send you a cinebench r15 and 7zip score tomorrow on my 1680 V2, if you can't beat it with your 3600X you have certified skill issues

[vernal cosmos]

I will beat it with am4

[amber canopy]

3600x

[vernal cosmos]

am4

[amber canopy]

If you have to use anything other than a 3600X you're bad

the 1680v2 is a 10 year old chip

no excuses

[vernal cosmos]

You can use any x99 chip u want

Im just gonna use any am4 one

:)

[amber canopy]

Actual skill issues

Alright, if I have leftover time tomorrow Ill bench my 6850k

[vernal cosmos]

Are you realising that x99 is a dead platform?

[amber canopy]

Just because you dont know anything about something doesnt mean it's a dead platform

crazy how you dont know everything right?

[vernal cosmos]

Then with all your knowledge beat my am4 platform chip

[amber canopy]

ok

what chip are you using

[vernal cosmos]

with ur x99 platform chip

[vernal cosmos]

You will find out

[desert jungle]

im running a 5800x3d

[amber canopy]

the 5950x your mom bought?

[vernal cosmos]

Nope

[desert jungle]

no problems gaming and streaming with it

[burnt spear]

I'd sure hope not

[amber canopy]

if you cant beat a 10 year old cpu with a 3600X, im sorry bro, but i have to diagnose you with skill issues

[burnt spear]

I can't tell if this is friendly banter or if you're actually mad at eachother

[amber canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/farcry6-gif-23383353

[desert jungle]

ive been running mainly amd chips my whole gaming career but these new amd chips blow me away

[vernal cosmos]

Sounds like ur salty and have skill issues if you cant beat a chip on a nearly 5 year old socket with x99 which u claim is the best

[burnt spear]

Guys, guys

[amber canopy]

the 1680v2 isnt on x99

[burnt spear]

We can all agree i7-760 is the best cpu

[vernal cosmos]

L

[vernal cosmos]

dont even use x99 to fight me

[amber canopy]

you're the one that didnt know what platform the 1680v2 is on lol

[vernal cosmos]

amateur

[amber canopy]

1680v2 is older

[vernal cosmos]

I mean I assumed it was a xeon lol

I was just saying use x99

since you claim its so good

[amber canopy]

I mean, if you really want me to, but I'd have to take apart my daily for the CPU

[burnt spear]

According to the benches I'm looking at the 3600 beats the 1680v2 by like 40%, though I'm not sure how accurate they are

[amber canopy]

1680v2 is more convinient

[vernal cosmos]

Do it

[desert jungle]

anyone run amd gpu?

[vernal cosmos]

me

[desert jungle]

i overcloaked my vram and undervolted it

[burnt spear]

I did for a bit

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Xeon-E5-1680-v2-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600X/2342vs3494

[desert jungle]

its been steady

what settings do you run?

[burnt spear]

I ran a 6800xt on a 650w psu at 1080p

Not cursed at all

I didn't get very into ocing with that card

Ran into some annoyances

[desert jungle]

im running a 6950xt 1000w

still getting stutters on warzone 😦

[burnt spear]

What ram you got?

[desert jungle]

all other games runs perfectly fine

3600 cl14 bdie

[burnt spear]

Likely just warzones terrible optimization

Being b die doesn't matter too much since you're not ocing it

[desert jungle]

yea its good ram tho

[burnt spear]

Ye

[desert jungle]

HP v100

v10

[burnt spear]

Yeah you were telling me about it the other day

Great price at $150 for a 32gb kit

[desert jungle]

yea its been running good

damn this amd gpu tho

nvidia runs warzone a lot smoother

at least caldera

[amber canopy]

not accurate

[ruby basin]

is there alts for the B660M-A with around the same price?

[frosty depot]

Which brand 6950xt?

[vast meadow]

What country?

[ruby basin]

Saudi but it doesnt matter cuz im gonna buy it from the us

[vast meadow]

You can get this for 5$ less if your going 12400 or lower this will do fine, if you're going 12600k or up get the b660 pro a
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yZPQzy/asus-prime-b660m-a-d4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-prime-b660m-a-d4

[ruby basin]

thanks!
one more question, is the atx worth the extra money? like should i spend more on an atx board or is the matx just enough for general usage (games and casually streaming)?

[vast meadow]

Nah

[naive pendant]

When I built my first computer I used a used motherboard, when I was done building it , it didn’t turn on :(, when I tried to find the problem, the motherboard started blinking a red light next to where it said CPU. Is this because of the cpu socket or the cpu it’s self

Mind I got a USED motherboard, and some of the pins were already bent

@ me please

[scenic solar]

In what do you really need help? Bending the pins back?

[vernal cosmos]

thats ur isue

bent pins wont work unless you make em straight again

[naive pendant]

I wanna know if it’s the motherboard that’s the problem or the cpu

I already sent the motherboard back

[scenic solar]

Definitely the motherboard socket

[naive pendant]

I have intel cpu btw

[scenic solar]

CPUs are very unlikely to be faulty unless OCd incorrectly

[naive pendant]

So if I we’re to get a brand new motherboard ever thing would most likely be fixed?

Ik this isn’t the right channel but can I show you something just to make sure if it’s working or not

[vernal cosmos]

Its the motherboard

100%

bent pins just wont work

[naive pendant]

Can show you something about my aio

I

[vernal cosmos]

No one can say ur cpu will also 100% work, but the motherboard defi wouldnt

[vernal cosmos]

sure

[naive pendant]

I’ve left my aio like that for months

Do you think it will still work when build it again

[scenic solar]

@naive pendant you could also try to bend the pins back with a toothpick or something small that allows you to not damage more

But you have to be surgical of socket pins

[naive pendant]

It was a intel motherboard

[scenic solar]

They can break off if ur not careful

[naive pendant]

I already sent it back and got my money back

[scenic solar]

Exactly, you can still bend them back to normal

[scenic solar]

Oh

I thought you still had it

[naive pendant]

It was a lot harder then I expected so i didn’t wanna take the chance😭

[naive pendant]

Nah

[naive pendant]

^

[scenic solar]

So you got a new one...

[vernal cosmos]

ye

[scenic solar]

Yes

[naive pendant]

I’m selling my parts to my brother because I gave up, plus I need the money rn

[scenic solar]

Is it LGA 1700?
Is it a recent build?

[naive pendant]

Imma buy my first computer in a few months or next yr

[naive pendant]

Uhhhh I honestly forgot a lot about computer hardware 😭

Ohhhhh

Nah 1200

[scenic solar]

Ok, you can always ask for recommendations here for newer and better components

[naive pendant]

I got the 10600k when it was hot

[scenic solar]

10600k is still a good one

[naive pendant]

Alr thanks but I’m honestly prob gonna get a pre built in a few months because I don’t wanna take chance again yk

Don’t wanna mess up

[scenic solar]

Prebuilts are unpredictable on components unless they're all listed and they're usually not worth their price... But if you don't want to risk you can go for that

[naive pendant]

How are they unpredictable?

Doesn’t all company’s show the specs before listing it!

?*

[vernal cosmos]

ignore him, theres some prebuilt companies you have to avoid since they cheap out, some are good tho

[scenic solar]

Sometimes ram/MB/PSU are not specified, you could get one stick of ram, h510 motherboards (example) and other "not good" things

[vernal cosmos]

for example dell and hp are garbage

[scenic solar]

^

[vernal cosmos]

stuff like abs is great

[naive pendant]

Ohhh Alr

[scenic solar]

Alienware

[naive pendant]

Isn’t that OVERRR priced?

[scenic solar]

Yes
Most of the time

They include Sus components sometimes

[naive pendant]

I might jus ask one of my cousins to help me build one

[scenic solar]

"sometimes"

[scenic solar]

If they have experience they can sure help you

Btw there's always a simple YouTube tutorial somewhere

[naive pendant]

What abt nzxt, don’t they have some great pre built?

[naive pendant]

Yeh they have

[scenic solar]

Yes but they're usually overpriced

High prices overall

[vernal cosmos]

utter garbage

[scenic solar]

They're not,... For prices yes they are

[naive pendant]

I watched like 6 tutorial vid , and like 50 vid abt computers. I’m pretty sure it’s jus bc I got a used motherboard, other than that it was all good

[vernal cosmos]

Wrong

[naive pendant]

Fans were spinning and everything

[scenic solar]

Ayo Linus had got one for the multi pc one GPU video

And was good

Good components

[vernal cosmos]

You cant say a pc is good but bad price

bad price = overpriced = bad

[scenic solar]

Ofc maybe it's just because it was more high end

[vernal cosmos]

since cheaper better alternatives exist

[scenic solar]

I mean good components

[naive pendant]

Screw it imma jus build my self a new one when. I get the money

[scenic solar]

Good

[naive pendant]

Can I built a good computer with 800?

[scenic solar]

Ofc there are

[vernal cosmos]

Nope

[naive pendant]

600-800 I don’t wanna spend to much

[scenic solar]

Yes

[vernal cosmos]

mediocre parts

[vast meadow]

Even the more expensive nzxt prebuilts come with bad psus

[vernal cosmos]

bad aios, horrible cases

[scenic solar]

800 is acceptable, mid~low range components...ig

[vast meadow]

Yes

[vernal cosmos]

bad psus

[vast meadow]

@naive pendant what country?

[naive pendant]

USA 🍔

[scenic solar]

6600xt + i5 12th could be able to get for 800

(800usd)

[vast meadow]

Okay sweet for 800 you can get nice pc

[naive pendant]

Would u recommend it or should I go up to 1k,

[scenic solar]

1080p 144hz is your goal? No need for 1k build

Or do you want 1440p or more

[naive pendant]

More then 1440p would be great but my target is at least 6o fps on 1440p

If not at least high frames on 1080p

[scenic solar]

60fps 1440p is possible in basically any game with 6600xt (highest settings)

You could still wait on newer GPU/CPU series and see what they come out with

[naive pendant]

Yeh imma do that cause I don’t have money rn

[scenic solar]

4060 will probably be a valid card

[naive pendant]

The worse decision I made was i bought my parts every 6months instead of buying it all at once

[scenic solar]

Why? Is it because you could not send them back?

[naive pendant]

Is a 3060 still the greatest budget card or did amd out did them self?

[scenic solar]

I started with a 450€ budget for my pc, slowly upgraded and got to 1.2k pc

[scenic solar]

Probably yes, it's as good as 6600xt, maybe better

[naive pendant]

Nah it’s bc I was like 13 and I would only get money on my birthday and stuff like that😭

[vast meadow]

You could also go 500gb team mp33 instead of the 1tb if you wanted
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2hsnXy

[naive pendant]

With the same GPU?

[scenic solar]

No

[naive pendant]

*case

[scenic solar]

Started with 950 and now I have 2080

[naive pendant]

Bro why did I say GPU☠️

[scenic solar]

Changed the case too
It was horrible

[naive pendant]

Imma save this thanks bro

[vast meadow]

Oh you don't have the money now? Most of the list will be out of date proba

[naive pendant]

Lmao was it like a office pc?

[vast meadow]

So yeah ask for a new list when you're ready to buy

[naive pendant]

Yeh ion have the money rn

[naive pendant]

Alr thanks bro

[vast meadow]

Np

[scenic solar]

It was a Mars gaming MCX rgb

[naive pendant]

😟

Ion like how it looks

And I feel like the air flow was bad

[scenic solar]

Nowadays it is my brother's case for his budget build, but I cut the case to make it itx

[scenic solar]

It was

[dull flint]

[scenic solar]

I'll send a pic of how I cut the mcx into a smol case

[naive pendant]

How😭

[dull flint]

the 650W will be nice too if you want to yeet it with a bit of gpu oc later

[scenic solar]

I had to
I couldn't stand seeing that thing in my house

Also no need for big case and small components

[naive pendant]

True

That’s why I like to get a mid tower wit a full mobo

I like those kinda builds

[scenic solar]

@naive pendant normal case → cutting+ soldering → finished products → add components (GPU not in this photo)

[naive pendant]

The cable management scares me

[scenic solar]

Yeah, I squished the cables down after I took the photo, it blocked the fan flow

[naive pendant]

Can I see your current build?

[scenic solar]

It's like 36cm tall

[scenic solar]

Wait a sec, I have to find a good pic

[naive pendant]

Alr

[scenic solar]

Not the best pic but haven't got many after I put the 2080

The glare 😵‍💫

[dull flint]

what happened to the backplate

[scenic solar]

It was for the 1070

[naive pendant]

Majestic ahh build

[scenic solar]

I'm designing the one for the 2080 too

[dull flint]

oh right

[naive pendant]

Imma try to build an all white maybe black n white wit all Corsair rgb components

[scenic solar]

I'll do basically same style but with "rtx 2080" instead of GTX1070

[scenic solar]

Don't go Corsair, it's not the best one ever

It's expensive

Even if I have Corsair components it's mostly for looks

[naive pendant]

Yeh that’s what I’m looking for

[scenic solar]

My fans are loud at full speed all together but the RGB is

[naive pendant]

I hate loud fans

Or maybe nzxt I’m not sure rn

[dull flint]

Corsair makes a couple nice things, airflow cases, dominator ddr5 and good psu's.
Everything else? Pretty yuck normally

[naive pendant]

Even their rgb fans are bad :/

[scenic solar]

Oh, I meant "don't go Corsair" for fans and LEDs

[naive pendant]

?

[scenic solar]

The rest is good

[dull flint]

EZDIY-FAB make great rgb strips that look better than Corsair's, Phanteks neon too

[scenic solar]

Like 4000d 5000... And psus

[dull flint]

cheaper as well

Their fans are almost universally rubbish for the price paid

[scenic solar]

Me buying my own LEDs and soldering to the connector I want

[naive pendant]

I think I have them but I don’t use their fans

[dull flint]

SP120 elites are like maybe the only one's I'd maybe consider

I would much rather P12 argb

[scenic solar]

P12 good

[naive pendant]

EZDIY-FAB 120mm Computer Case Fan,Motherboard Aura Sync Fan,High Airflow,Speed Adjustable,Addressable RGB Fan with Fan Hub and Remote-5 Pack https://a.co/d/85CyUrm

[dull flint]

you can daisy chain them and they look and sound phenomenal

[naive pendant]

These right?

[scenic solar]

Sp120 are good Corsair fans but (for me) they're expensive

[dull flint]

nah not their fans

their rgb strips

one sec

[scenic solar]

For corsiar components i recommend: PSUs (most rmx) and ram

[dull flint]

corsair makes good psu's, good dominator ddr5

[scenic solar]

Also 5000/4000 cases

[dull flint]

the basic ddr4 kits tho are a hard pass

[dull flint]

the D versions tho

[scenic solar]

Corsair vengeance rgb pro are probably a bit overrated but they look really good

[naive pendant]

I got the 4000D airflow white , never regretted it one bit

[scenic solar]

Perfect

[dull flint]

I got lucky and had Rev. E with 2 kits, but I would never recommend them

reason is they mix chips so no guarantee XMP works on the basic ones

[scenic solar]

I never checked my ram rev because I'm lazy

[dull flint]

also the ddr5 vengeance rgb looks bleh btw, you seen it yet?

[naive pendant]

The thing is I don’t wanna get diff kinds of company’s bc when change the lights I wanna change it in one software like how Corsair has

[dull flint]

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcRIrDVUdIqjzCknf200yjSl-NNDWU8a3JBbsqSZw0dQpYhLZYvYs6nFvvu2ZPy3g2H2ZRNJcyRaaiTLnuVwYoBnANlsbDopqpFbEGyIbRP2l_djv_Fxs4b4uw&usqp=CAE

[scenic solar]

Is it the silver ones?

Oh god

[dull flint]

lolololol

[scenic solar]

I don't like them

They're too basic

Too

...

Eew

[dull flint]

you sync it all to your motherboard software instead of all to corsair

so it's still all in one software

but not with icue bloat

[naive pendant]

They nice to me I like them, but dominators are more futuristic

[dull flint]

in fact you'd need two rgb softwares with the mobo and icue

so going the other route you'd have one less software to deal with lol

[naive pendant]

Is that on all motherboard or specific ones?

[dull flint]

not all but a good number

Asus and MSI afaik have icue compatibility but you still need the plugins working

[scenic solar]

OpenRGB is good to sync all your RGB devices

[dull flint]

asus is two software despite that compatibility btw

[naive pendant]

Imma jus ask the server all these questions again when I get the money bc I’m prob gonna forget

[scenic solar]

I've used it to set my onboard LEDs because with MSI dragon center it changed my Corsair ram color to red for some reason

[dull flint]

msi I've gotten working without mystic light so you can do it with just icue on those

but even still?

you pay a lot for middle of the road performance on corsair stuff

[scenic solar]

With iCue open it interfered

[dull flint]

again, unless it's their cases, or psu's which are mostly good

[scenic solar]

I could change my ram color from neither icue nor msi

So I uninstalled MSI center, kept onboard LEDs off until I discovered open RGB,

[naive pendant]

Thank you everyone who helped me, I’m going to sleep now

[dull flint]

at least the white looks somewhat better

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQfZOaBq3immUz0HrvSGmCjC_uz5BsQnn9Po-t-29s2qHHXrfrjTMpxR6k_Oup5Iv6y3xGOIY87zZKLRFZnWGEh7ut-ijIaHY2gttMwxlBkHqmSnIbfVFv7Q&usqp=CAE

[scenic solar]

Ten I just stopped using open RGB and kept my LEDs on normal cycle

[dull flint]

far from my favourite looking tho

mid

my current favourite is prolly this

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3eavB8D4i7RwCIHYPfpZI1oUfNoA0hoGBPAOVeytG9RWkqO_hRcwsEU8oqQKyA_UETHp4eGZgnAcdA0KxLOUanFwK3F-ZNi26p9qc3gLWqsSZLfo63aubbg&usqp=CAE

that's for ddr5 tho

[scenic solar]

Nice

I prefer another ddr5 ram let me show you

Also the platinum version I like

[dull flint]

I'd like those except I know the heatsinks actually do basically nothing

the z5's afaik are best delidded

[scenic solar]

Yeah, but after all they don't really need heatsinks just like ddr4, they're not too hot

It's mostly for looks

[dull flint]

they kinda do actually, the voltage pmic is on the ram now

so more heat generated on the center of the stick

[scenic solar]

They said they would have need "fan cooling" but after some time we're getting ones with and without passive cooling

[dull flint]

right under where it says g.skill here that pmic is goin

[scenic solar]

I know but they managed to make it better over time

It's slightly cooler

Doesn't waste power into heat

At least not a lot

[dull flint]

even still g.skill needs to do better, they have big heatsinks that basically slip off lol

[scenic solar]

Lul

[dull flint]

corsair actually has better heatsinks with their dominators

they're also serviceable, I quite like those

[scenic solar]

Yeah,... They're dominant

[dull flint]

they work and also have looks

yeah true but at least rn you can pick the types of ddr5 apart by xmp

and occasionally by sku using known data

so a good kit of let's say, (go with the easy one) 6200 dominators is a given to be hynix M

[scenic solar]

I don't know what I'll do with my 1070' backplate... I guess I'll just keep it as a memory

[dull flint]

and they have decent heatsinks so like, it's actually a nice kit

[vernal cosmos]

BURN IT AS A SACRIFICE TO THE GPU GODS

[scenic solar]

I thought I had sold my 1070 yesterday but I kinda got scammed by a stupid kid

Lol

[scenic solar]

Yeaaah I want to inhale the fumes

[scenic solar]

Oh wait
I
... Can't...
I sprayed it with heat resistant paint

[amber canopy]

Which 1070 do you have

[dull flint]

• starts tripping on the fumes * THE NVIDIA LORDS ARE DELIVERING ME A BLESSIN

[vernal cosmos]

heat resistant is not fire proof

[scenic solar]

Pny xlr8 🤢

Loud and hot

But it's still a 1070

[amber canopy]

Oh lol

Yea 1070s are still decent

[scenic solar]

Waiting for someone else to buy it

[amber canopy]

I'm probably gonna keep my 1070 after I upgrade

[scenic solar]

Probably the last card that can support 1080p hih 60fps

[amber canopy]

Yea sorta

[scenic solar]

I'm selling mine for 225€, hoping someone buys it one of these days so I'll get a 1080 for 250 (waterblock + original cooler)

[scenic solar]

(most games), forget CP2077 and flight sim

[amber canopy]

I'll probably upgrade to something like a 2080ti or 3080

[scenic solar]

2080ti not worth it unless you find it at 400-450

[amber canopy]

Well yea finding a good deal is the plan lol

[scenic solar]

Actually 400 would be the best

Used 2080tis go for really high prices compared to 2080/s

[amber canopy]

Yea I wouldn't be surprised

[scenic solar]

In my country 2080ti is over 480€ used

Not worth over 2080 that is 380-400

[amber canopy]

That's not awful right?

[scenic solar]

Not worth it since you can get a 3060ti/3070 for that price (used)

Newer gen = better = (better dlss performances)

Just checked, found a 6700xt and 3070 for 485€

That's why I went 2080, didnt want to spend too much, 3060 was meh and 3060ti a bit too expensive for what it offers comapared to 2080

[frosty depot]

looks at Felix expectantly You gonna share?

[dull flint]

• too high to notice Reo *

[drowsy steeple]

would y'all consider a 12600k a "mid-range" CPU?

[scenic solar]

I consider it mid-high

[burnt spear]

I'd consider 12100 mid range

[scenic solar]

Yeah at this point it is mid range

[grizzled bloom]

Celeron is low end, I agree 12100 starts the mid range up to the 12400

And I guess the 12600 non-K also since it's just a higher clocked 12400 with a slightly better iGPU

[cerulean wadi]

12500 also has a better igpu than 12400. Some people get that one for game streaming purposes w/ amd GPUs or something like that, supposedly.

[grizzled bloom]

That's really the only reason to get the 12500 or 12600 instead of a 12400 or 12600k. Quicksync.

[spring bolt]

get the 12600 or 12600k instead

nah

12600 over 12500 any day

12500 is priced so close to 12600 so why get 12500

[cerulean wadi]

Depends on someone's market. The 12600 isn't always similar price
https://tenor.com/view/ron-i-know-more-than-you-superior-gif-11274878

[spring bolt]

12600 is still not much more

12500 is 202 usd and 12600 is 229 usd

[cerulean wadi]

Right, think I'd rather a 12600K for 230, thnx. Again, see previous gif

[spring bolt]

12500 is a binned 12400f with a igpu

[spring bolt]

12600k is like 280 usd

atm

[grizzled bloom]

12600k is good but non-K doesn't have e-cores

[spring bolt]

ik

[grizzled bloom]

12600 is just a 100mhz higher clocked 12500

[spring bolt]

the performace lmao

[grizzled bloom]

You can get the same extra 100mhz by setting bclk to 102

Almost 0 effort to do that

[dull flint]

Why even bother with the performance when you can just pocket the $50 difference and accept the 1 or 2% performance drop

Stick that in a better gpu lmao

Grab that 5-10% gain in a better gpu instead

[eternal helm]

It's also a different igpu than what comes with the 12400 non f

[finite elm]

Maybe 50$ won't get them a better GPU, they need the e cores or they aren't constrained by a budget and just don't need something over a 12600k?

[dull flint]

Pocket it for the next pc lol

It's like saying I should buy ddr5 for the future almost but the saturation is not as extreme imo

[finite elm]

That doesn't solve the fact the 12600k has e cores that they might need/want

[dull flint]

but he's not saying 12600K, he's saying 12600 or 12500

[finite elm]

No, chillen said 12600k

[dull flint]

Mack didn't

Mack said non-K

unless you have an explicit use for quicksync I would never recommend a 12500 or 12600 non K

esp. with Zen 3 APU

[finite elm]

Here

[dull flint]

literally below that

why get either of those two when 12400(f) is basically the same lolol

Again, I totally agree with a 12600K but not the non-K 500 or 600

imo a 12500 or 12600 is money worth elsewhere

[finite elm]

Yeah

[dull flint]

For a similar example, I'd never recommend anything over 3600MT/s ram for a 12th gen non K because locked SA voltages mean XMP might default to gear 2 making it slower than a 3200MT/s kit in XMP in gear 1

and when you buy those higher binned kits they tend to sink money in more

so it's ends up almost a loss in itself unless you manually clock that kit properly which most people don't know how to do

[finite elm]

The only Intel pc I built has 3200mhz ram. Surprisingly the H510i can use xmp for 3200mhz ram.

Didn't expect it on a lower end mobo.

[dull flint]

11th gen?

wow yeah that might be a bit rare for an 11th gen board lol

the heatsinks on it too look decent

[finite elm]

Ye

It's a very solid feeling ITX board. Did not expect it.

[dull flint]

3 fan plugs, debug led's, 4 sata plugs

full 300W cpu connector

why is that not a B560 lol

maybe they got away with better quality for the price by sticking to the h510 spec instead of b560

[deep seal]

12500f and 6700xt pairing, how much do I need to worry on mobo and memory

[dull flint]

depends if you want wifi tbh

memory would be the cheapest 32gb or 16gb you could find

[deep seal]

Prob will just beacuse last was was pain in the ass

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236769

[dull flint]

nah you can go cheaper

[deep seal]

I I brb

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rexed88/saved/PGhPJx

[dull flint]

can do it much better than that

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4Km7Mb

want more rgb? change the case to a Phanteks G360A. Most rgb I've ever seen on a case and it actually works well for an airflow case

only another 40$

[deep seal]

Eh care more about air flow

[dull flint]

this is fine for airflow

G360A is also a really good airflow case for what it's worth

you won't really get that with a 465X

< Speaking from 1st hand experience

[deep seal]

32gb of ram overkill?

[dull flint]

yes but also no

you can make do with 16gb

[deep seal]

https://www.newegg.com/xpg-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/0RN-003P-002Y7?Item=9SIAJNUHJX3799&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-9fsu3vDHkQTAgUbhIKySug

Cl of 18 tho

[dull flint]

not really any better than a 3200MT/s CL16 kit

[cursive epoch]

ye

[dull flint]

definitely not worth another 30$

how about these @deep seal https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/newegg/CWCFf7

[deep seal]

Ain't bad but was looking at the 3600, 4000 speed if I'm not going 32, like tarkov

[dull flint]

see here

4000 almost definitely won't run in gear 1 on a 12400f

so it'll be slower than a 3200 kit

3600 CL18 will probably run in gear 1, but also not worth another $30

[deep seal]

dont understand memeory as well as other componetns\

[dull flint]

in other words

4000 slower

because it uses a slower gear

3600 probably ok but not really worth more money

3200 is ideal

[deep seal]

is it intel thing or just overall

[dull flint]

intel thing for 12th gen

they lock down a certain voltage which lets you run really fast memory

for non-K chips

it's not really important tho, in performance terms you're looking at maybe 1-2% difference

for RAM

[deep seal]

eh

mean for my amd system it was like a 20% diff

[dull flint]

amd is different

[burnt spear]

32gb 3600c16 is $135 rn

[deep seal]

i know amd is more mem

[dull flint]

higher frequency is higher FCLK

so it matters a lot more as it affects the infinity fabric

also AMD doesn't really care to lock that stuff down

[deep seal]

now how much does first word latency matter\

[dull flint]

basically nothing

especially at xmp

[deep seal]

so 8 to 10 is nothin?

[dull flint]

yup

it's the other timings on an xmp that make a bigger difference

so imagine this

[deep seal]

no idea how to tell timing

[dull flint]

if we shrink the middle timings to these

it will likely train a faster speed

[deep seal]

Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4 RAM 32GB (16GBx2) 3200MHz (PC4 25600) 288-pin CL16 1.35V UDIMM Desktop Memory Module with Heatsink Grey SP032GXLZU320BDAJ7 https://a.co/d/geKjrqT

[dull flint]

those are nice

[deep seal]

88 not bad

[dull flint]

ye

[deep seal]

where you from felix

[dull flint]

But the thing with ram is, while there is first call latency, there's also like another 30+ timings on ram that matter as much or more so a mobo will train them to whatever speed it needs to run, meaning it can default to be as slow as it wants really

so in the end, the mobo runs both a 3200 kit and 3600 kit very similarly at xmp

[dull flint]

australia

[deep seal]

i didnt think yall said ye

16-18-18-38

thats the timing on the ram

[dull flint]

it's fine

[frosty depot]

He's from the land that lost a war to a bird.

[deep seal]

[dull flint]

[deep seal]

well now i gotta figure storage out, thinking m.2 with SSD backdrrive, already have the ssd

[dull flint]

the mp33 drive I linked is really good value

[deep seal]

wheres that

[dull flint]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XHMBQK3

[deep seal]

ya that aint bad\

god M.2 tech is amazing

cosnidering we went from HHD 160 mb, ssd 400mb to 1500 for M.2

[dull flint]

they're going up to 15000 soon

new gen 5 drives are kinda ridiculous

but also, you'll never need that much in the current day

so like, cool but meh

[deep seal]

ya but like server processing

[cursive epoch]

servers has much faster ssds than consumer stuff does

[deep seal]

i work is system adm more then hardware

[dull flint]

i mean sure, where it applies it's great

[cursive epoch]

samsung has ssd that's as fast as ram

right now

[dull flint]

but unless you do some serious work on this pc? going faster than good value not really worth

[cursive epoch]

it's enterprise only ofc

[deep seal]

now MOBO

would like wifithis time around

[dull flint]

Unlesss your really trying to hit the 1k mark I'd do this

[deep seal]

bot is my mom

[vast meadow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QKjqNc

[deep seal]

already gonna hit 1k

[vast meadow]

Board is a bit nicer and case too

No worries

[dull flint]

I did suggest the case

[vast meadow]

Would swap the cooler to the se 214xt white tho

3$ cheaper or something

[dull flint]

but all black build

[vast meadow]

I personally would pay the 10$ just for the built in io shield

Oh

[dull flint]

or should I put a 280 rad on the 3x120's again

[vast meadow]

White adds nice contrast

[dull flint]

[vast meadow]

Wat

[dull flint]

luv u lmao

[fading ridge]

does anyone have a board similar to the asus prime b550 plus like price wise

i want the same features just need wifi included and type c

[untold jay]

Thermal paste acquired

How much should I put on for a am4 cpu

The packaging says 1 dot 4-5 mm in width

[cerulean wadi]

Yea, green pea size/shape in the center.

[untold jay]

I put what I thought was a enough but cpu is still 70c idling

But it did dip into the 60s for a little

I gotta go to work unfortunately but im gonna take off the cooler again and see how my application spread out after I screwed the cooler down and add a slight bit more

[cerulean wadi]

Ryzen often idles high w/ it's quick boosting and such, but 70c is up there.

[vast meadow]

Probably a bad mount rather than not enough paste

[frosty depot]

You might try adding a bit more and spreading the paste evenly over the whole cpu. Give it a good layer over the whole ihs. That way you know for sure it has enough all over.

You can use a bread clip to get it spread evenly if your paste didn't come with a spatula.

When you go to mount your cooler, make sure to do each screw little by little by the same amount in a cross pattern. That way the cooler gets mounted as evenly as possible.

[grizzled bloom]

Overtightened coolers can cause issues too

[vast meadow]

Uneven spread shouldn't be that bad tho unless it's on everything but where the dies are located lol

[frosty depot]

Yeah true. I just personally have spread it out evenly every time I've messed around with my cpu and have good temps. That's why I suggest it. I personally don't trust that I've put enough on and that it's gonna get everywhere if I do any other method of just squeezing some on and mounting.

[vast meadow]

Fair enough

[grizzled bloom]

Technically speaking spreading is the best method but only slightly better than most other methods. The standard pea size glob was the worst but still only a couple degrees higher.

[untold jay]

idk how i coulda possibly done that

what classifies as a "bad mount"

cause the screws are 100% screwed down at far at the cpu cooler lets me

[untold jay]

the cooler has screws that have like a hard stop

idk what you would call it

but its an AMD stock cooler

[vast meadow]

Basically impossible unless done on purpose

[untold jay]

yea

thats why im confused

[vast meadow]

Did you screw them in in an x pattern?

[untold jay]

yep

id fiddle with it but its 2 am

so i think ill leave it until tomorrow

but idk

idle temp are high but under load it doesnt get aggressively hot

85c is what i got playing destiny 2 max setting 120 fps

[vast meadow]

That's fine

[untold jay]

wack

[vast meadow]

What case and whats your ambient temps like?

[hollow thorn]

Also, it's a 5600x on stock cooler, that sounds right lol

[untold jay]

this god awful thing https://www.rosewill.com/p/9SIA072HNY1128?seoLink=computer-cases&seoName=Computer Cases

it looks like an office computer

[vast meadow]

Ahh yes

That sounds right

Stock cooler and bleh case

[hollow thorn]

Don't think there's issues, 5600x is hot and stealth isn't exactly great, it'll be barely below throttling under load, and since the heatsink is small, and i would assume fan curve is relatively aggressive, 60-70c idling is probably going to be normal especially in a case like that

[untold jay]

damn

[vast meadow]

Ah yes thank you reosewill, no button to close it off ...

[hollow thorn]

Kek

Use inspect element ez

[untold jay]

well i was tryna get a case but amazon said nope took my money and pushed the delivery date back like a month

thanks "prime" delivery

[vast meadow]

Talk to support if you wanna get a refund for it

Their support is pretty good

[untold jay]

yea

even better

im pretty sure i can just cancel it

no talking to support

since im pretty sure nothing has left any distribution centers

[vast meadow]

Oh yeah grand then

What case did you order?

[untold jay]

Thermaltake Versa H18

similar form factor to my current one

just not a rosewill case

its funny

i watched a youtube video about the cheapest "new" pc and mf used my case

[vast meadow]

Ah that's an okay case but if you can go atx instead I'd grab one of the cougar mx330 variants

[strange spindle]

Is this overkill for a GeForce rtx 3060?

[vast meadow]

Depends but terrible choice of cpu to be being in 2022 anyway

Especially at that price

[strange spindle]

Why is it outdated?

I have no clue on what CPU lmao

[vast meadow]

Yes

12400f would be a nice pairing for a 3060, wouldn't go more than a 12600k tho, if you're in the us, would get the msi b660m bazooka for 130$

[burnt spear]

Would be better off getting a 12400f and a better gpu

[vast meadow]

Yes just saying it's an option depends on what they'll be doing

[strange spindle]

Can't get a better gpu I'm already out of my budget

[burnt spear]

Then 12400f+mobo

[strange spindle]

Intel i5?

[burnt spear]

Yes

[strange spindle]

For a 3060?

[burnt spear]

That would be what i and pato both said

[strange spindle]

Hmm

Y'all know way more lol, thanks for the help!

Just to make sure this?

[dull flint]

Ya

[strange spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-bow-michael-scott-steve-carell-office-gif-12985913

Also one last question wtf is a mobo

My cpus the price of it's cooler... I need to change that lol

[vast meadow]

Motherboard

[vast meadow]

Just grab an id cooling se 214xt for 20$

[strange spindle]

Oooh a

[strange spindle]

Lmao that's the same one I was looking at

Before it was this overprice Corsair aio

[strange spindle]

It's still a good 100$

Don't look in the us then

[strange spindle]

Lol yee

[vast meadow]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/kvHxgb

[strange spindle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

how about this?

i might change the motherboard to smth white

[burnt spear]

You didn't link the right link

[strange spindle]

uhh

[burnt spear]

The one in the yellow box is the one you have to use

[strange spindle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/farvakoom/saved/#view=RTWdbv

this?

[burnt spear]

It's privated

[strange spindle]

ye a saw

try this

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[vast meadow]

You have a budget of 1.8k?

Send the link in the yellow box

Not the url bar

[strange spindle]

yellow box???

hold up

[vast meadow]

Assuming you're not in darkmode it's yellow

That one

[strange spindle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nfTDnt

found it lmao thx

[vast meadow]

That's the us not canada

[burnt spear]

Ca.pcpartpicker.com

[strange spindle]

should i change it?

[vast meadow]

I'll do it, what's your budget ?

I see you're going for a white theme?

[strange spindle]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nfTDnt

[strange spindle]

its about 2k

[strange spindle]

indeed

my entire room is white so im sticking to the theme

[vast meadow]

Okay

[strange spindle]

did that work?

oh also ignore the monitor

[vast meadow]

You're not including a monitor in your 2k budget?

[strange spindle]

ya

[vast meadow]

Mkay, you already have one or do you want a recommendation?

[strange spindle]

well i want a recommendation

[vast meadow]

How much is total budget including monitor?

[strange spindle]

well ig including the monitor maybe like 2.3

[vast meadow]

Okay

[strange spindle]

so 2k for pc and 300 for monitor

[vast meadow]

Curved or flat monitor?

Personally I'd recommend flat

[strange spindle]

def flat

[vast meadow]

@strange spindle you need wifi?

[strange spindle]

ya

[vast meadow]

Like 30$ over budget but
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/yhfG2m

[strange spindle]

is the 850 watts needed?

[vast meadow]

Actually this gpus a good bit cheaper
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/LVVHpH

Yes

It's also the cheapest white psu anyway

[strange spindle]

i have no clue about that gpu

specs are good tho

[vast meadow]

A 6800xt is equivalent to a 3080

[strange spindle]

woahh nice

ray tracing right?

idk how to spell it lmao

[vast meadow]

It has ray tracing although 30 series is better at it

Very gimmicky atm tho

[strange spindle]

ah

i see

[vast meadow]

Very little difference and a huge tank in fps

[strange spindle]

oo

woah everything else is also amazing and it doesnt have to much rgb so thats good

tysm!

if i get when you recommended ill show you how it turned out!

also thats some good looking ram lol

[vast meadow]

You're welcome

[strange spindle]

also should i change my motherboard because its a micro atx

[vast meadow]

Nah

[strange spindle]

why though?

wouldent it look small for the ace?

case*

[vast meadow]

Here's my pc you can't even tell

Also atx is way more expensive or not white

[strange spindle]

is that an micro atx in an atx case?

[vast meadow]

Ye

[strange spindle]

ah nvm then it look fine

also nice build

[vast meadow]

Thanks

[strange spindle]

is that a 3080?

no thats a 3060 right?

[vast meadow]

3060 ti

[strange spindle]

ah

fancy lol

what if i get a black atx mobo instead of a white mobo?

like that

[vast meadow]

That's a nice mobo, depends on the price tho

[vast meadow]

If you weren't going for a white mobo only id do this
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/pmnCC6

[strange spindle]

also js the pc you gave me is nearly 3k without tax and shipping

[strange spindle]

its a bit cheaper then the other 1

should i change back my gpu to the 3060?

[vast meadow]

If you wanna save money but no other reason to go to a worse gpu?

[vast meadow]

?

[strange spindle]

wait hold up i think im dumb

[vast meadow]

Are you only going to buy from one seller?

[strange spindle]

no i think 3 till now

wait can you resend the pc you reccmeneded

[vast meadow]

^

[strange spindle]

hmm let me go redo my math lmao

[vast meadow]

Says the total at the bottom of pcpp

[strange spindle]

i think it was def wrong

so do you think i should downgrade my gpu

even if i change it to an 3060 ti its still peaks my budget

[vast meadow]

How?

Did you change your budget?

[untold jay]

Ok so I took off the cooler and looked at how the thermal paste spread

I think I legit put it on the statistically worst possible way

It was kinda thin in most places and was awkwardly clumped up in some places

[hard leaf]

that usually happen when you tighten unevenly your cooler

[untold jay]

yea but i coulda sworn i did in the X pattern

i added a small bit extra cause even when spreading what was on there it was getting thin

[hard leaf]

yeah i trust you, thats why i said that your problem usually happen when you tighten unevenly your cooler

[untold jay]

yea

musta did something wrong

[hard leaf]

you need to do quarter of a turn on every screw before retruning to the first screw

[untold jay]

yea

[hard leaf]

to tighten evenly

and avoid that thin layer on one side and thicc on the other

[untold jay]

yea

[amber canopy]

Picture?

[untold jay]

Kinda too late for that

Already spread it and added some more and put the cooler back on

[strange spindle]

i didnt change it

[vast meadow]

was your budget supposed to be including tax or are you only buying from one place or something?

[bronze pebble]

which pin connecter on the motherboard is for gpus? I am bit confused. Cuz the gpus would say like 2 or 3 x 8-pin power connectors.

[vast meadow]

Pcie, the 8 pin is the power

[fading ridge]

anyone have a similar board to the ASUS Prime B550-PLUS

[grizzled bloom]

What's your question?

[fading ridge]

im pretty much trying to find a board similar to that one with type c and wifi support

but i dont know what is a good alternative

[grizzled bloom]

Budget?

[fading ridge]

100-200

im doing a 3080 with a 5800x

[grizzled bloom]

Full ATX or micro? Micro would save money without losing too many features

[fading ridge]

atx

type c isnt as important as the wifi part tbh

[grizzled bloom]

WiFi 6 and the header for type c

[fading ridge]

Do you know if it comes with the bios to support r7

because i dont know how i would get that to work

[grizzled bloom]

It should, the update to support the 5800X was a long time ago and you'll probably get a board with a newer version

It has flashback just in case so you can update without turning it on

[fading ridge]

Oh okay cool thanks ill look into it a bit more

[fading ridge]

Also another question, I'm going to install a samsung 980 pro should i bother getting a heatsync or nah

[grizzled bloom]

Not necessary unless you plan to do very large transfers at max speed, like 50+ GB at a time. The motherboard I recommended comes with heatsinks anyway.

[fading ridge]

Yeah i actually noticed that after i sent the message with the mobo heatsyncs, if you dont mind could you peep the build and lmk what you think ? https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2VO8YVHEB2ROF/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2

[grizzled bloom]

Not bad but you could save some money in some places to put into better memory. Corsair RAM is pretty bad.

I'm guessing you're getting the Corsair cooler for the looks and are willing to pay extra for less performance for said looks.

[fading ridge]

Any recommendations for ram replacements? and yea i got the cooler for looks to be honest

[grizzled bloom]

Here's what I'd go with https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QdCvsL

3080 12gb is better than the 10gb and is only a little more. And that's one of the best models.

32gb of RAM is starting to get more necessary for gaming, there's a few games that will fully use 16gb even with nothing else running.

I'd also personally go for the 5700X since it's much cheaper and nearly as good as the 5800X.

[amber canopy]

i never close my tabs

I have about 60 tabs open atm

I use all of my tabs

[fading ridge]

thats insane bruh 😂

[fading ridge]

ight thanks for the help i appreciate it 👌

[agile jolt]

Just found out my mobo supports faster ram

Would an increase from 3200mhz to something higher be worth it?

Don't think I can OC my current ram

[hollow thorn]

What CPU?

[agile jolt]

5600

[hollow thorn]

What ram do you have now?

It'd help but probably not worth the cost of a whole new kit

[agile jolt]

3200mhz, 32gb

4 sticks

If I could OC it I would

Just found it out looking up the mobo

I wanted to install better wifi

Current wifi isn't too good

[hollow thorn]

Not worth buying new 4x8 kit imo

[agile jolt]

Aight

[hollow thorn]

Go find bleach and try to oc ram though

[agile jolt]

Lemme see what ram it is rq

Wasn't too fancy

[strange spindle]

that was the ram i was about to buy

[agile jolt]

The Ram

[strange spindle]

THE ram

opinion?

[dull flint]

@strange spindle what currency is this?

[cursive epoch]

looks like cad to me

[vernal cosmos]

dont buy white psu

the case hides it anyway

[grizzled bloom]

Are the cables white though?

[cursive epoch]

can always buy extension

[grizzled bloom]

Sure but that's more money you might as well spend on a PSU that came with white cables

I'm anti extension in general so a little biased lol

[cursive epoch]

that's also a good point tbh

[strange spindle]

cad

canadian

[strange spindle]

nope

its already out of my budget

[strange spindle]

good point\

ill try to find a cheapr one

is the cpu overkill?

[vernal cosmos]

ah true

[strange spindle]

the psu comes with black cabels should i get a black psu with white cables?

[grizzled bloom]

You won't find a black with white cables. If the black one is more than $30 cheaper than a white one with white cables, just get extensions.

[strange spindle]

thats confusing af but ok

my brain died mid sentence but i think ik what you mean

Fal'Cie#7622 is typing...

[grizzled bloom]

Corsair RM/RMx have white cables, I think phanteks amp does too. If one of those is more than $30 extra over a good black unit, you can get white extension cables.

[grizzled bloom]

Yeah I do a lot of that lol

[strange spindle]

ill look into that more tomorrow, i need to get sleep lol

[strange spindle]

same lmao

[vernal cosmos]

ooh falcie idk if i told you but I also dev orangefox recovery for my phone now

[strange spindle]

fun fact youve sent over 120k texts

[grizzled bloom]

Oh fun, I haven't played with that one

[vernal cosmos]

I used to no life a while back, now im too busy to be as active as I used to be

[grizzled bloom]

I've been fine with stock pixel OS

[strange spindle]

and youve sent 46 k

[vernal cosmos]

Its actually quite easy, just slight modifications to twrp trees and you have working orangefox trees

[strange spindle]

thats honesty a flex the most msgs ive sent in a public server was like 40k

[vernal cosmos]

lol im still top 10 most messages sent on this server

[grizzled bloom]

Level 69 on mee6 giggity

[vernal cosmos]

well cant talk anymore on this acc

gotta go make alt so ur always level 69

[errant grail]
