welll
If you OC....
dEpeNddsss
it does kind of
thats what i said lol
looked sarcastic.
lol
so many variables.
not all motherboards support OC on intel, or amd cpus.
ok what do you all think is a decent amd mobo for a decent price?
and cooling is definitely complicated variable.
105 tdp tho?
Want AMD or Intel? That will determine a lot of choices of MOBO
i want to go amd
AMD.. again if I would read the full thing before responding... lol
lol
150$ for a good one... 200+
For top line..
for zen2?
Iβm Intel... so asking about AMD may not result in best results... π
i have been looking at that asrock mobo
btw these are the first two rigs i have ever built so i am a noob at all this
stick around in the discord, you'll get help from every angle.
that's awesome
from regulars, to bonified Techies π
giggity.
from every dark alleyway
rofl
ASUS makes a good product all around. Over the years I have not had one ASUS product go bad on me.
ROG ftw.
Asus gang
For MOBO itβs about the chip set you want to use.
if you wanna go zen2, you'll need anything b450 and newer.
maybe a few selected 350s but I doubt.
won't get the full effect of Zen2.
x570 boards will get the most out of the zen 2
yeah.
what is the big difference between the b450 and the x470?
x570*
i dont know everything about it but i think it helps to make use of the new zen 2
PCI 4.0
though i didnt research everything about it bec i dont have time
lots of new bells and whistles
usually we just ping @austere tree and he drops helpful links.
nice
yeah
lol
Is the "certified memory RAM for AMD" still a thing? Or can I get away with most types/brands of RAM now? Given that its fast enough and I manually configure it in the BIOS?
Awesome! thanks!
Does anyone know if you overclock your CPU, and you turn it up all the way will it fry your cpu or will it only max out what it can?
your computer will crash if you push it too far
you gotta guess and check to find the highest stable clock speed
turn it up little by little
like .2 or .1 every time and run a stress test that uses ur cpu
monitor the temps and make sure its not throttling
if it crashes, turn down the clock speed a bit and do it until your computer has good temps and isnt crashing
i dont wanna mislead anyone especially because ive never overclocked before tho
it's not going to crash, it's just not going to turn on.
oh
well, it will try, but it will keep rebooting until it goes back to default settings.
hello guys , any 1 here trying to build a pc for affter effect mainly?
eh?
i think he means adobe after effects
Overclocked RAM is usually important for Ryzen mesh overclocks or RAM drives. I got some B-die RAM for doing the RAM drive thing on Linux.
I'm wondering if I can emulate Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4gb of RAM) and still meet these system requirements for a program. Any thoughts?
===========
System Requirements:
Windows XP or higher
DirectX 9.0c
Graphics adapter with shader model 2.0 or higher support
Recommended requirements for the volume renderer:
Intel Dual Core or higher CPU
2GB of system memory
At least 128MB of dedicated video memory
=======
Here's the specs for the Raspberry Pi 4:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/specifications/
Sadly I don't think Arm systems are powerful enough to emulate x86 unless we are talking very weak x86 CPUs.
Right now i have a Fx-6300 Professor, what would be the cheapest cpu upgrade i could get? i have a RX560 also btw
Your professor is a what?
lol
My professor is core2quad q9550 oc to 4.5. My gpu is 1080 ti. Ram is 16gb ddr3. On 790i ultra sli evga mobo it's super bottlenecked
Anyone here seen the new gen 3 Ryzen 5's?
Thinking about picking one up
When they release
Same
Like I am soooooo tempted to just go that route and buy the new chips
Get a decent gpu and let it rock
^ this
so i'm just looking at Asus' lineup of x570 mobos and I am very confused about why they don't have any Micro-ATX options.... Are they just wanting people to use their Mini-DTX mobo instead? I want to build a Micro-ATX computer but I don't like the idea of putting anything smaller than a Micro-ATX board in a case that is designed for that size of mobo
Are there any Micro-ATX X570 mobos by Asus or MSI?
i don't see any mATX from any of the manufacturers
rip
ok, so can someone help me decide what i need to upgrade in my computer next?

and a 128GB ssd
Oh nice, i like the case
the 1060's still a capable card
thanks
could do with a CPU upgrade
That is what i was thinking
First thing would be imho wait for the 3000 series to launch and get one of those with the new 570 boards
the board he has would work fine with the 3000 series
1060 is as matt said still capable, but eventually i'd shoot for a 2070 minimum.
Also depends on the kind of gaming your doing.
lower end 3000 series and that's honestly about it until you can afford a bigger upgrade, but at that point it's just luxury over necessity
cool, thanks for the advice, should i also look to upgrade from 8GB of Ram. If so what to
there's a good deal going on right now for like 55 for 16gb some ballistix ram
but it might have sold out already
ok
if you go non rgb you can get 16gb for under 100
so the Ryzen 5 3600 will be a good upgrade?
Definitely
ok, noted
What's the performance difference between that and the Ryzen 5 3600X
Worth $50?
I only caught snippets of the conference they talked about the 3 series but word on the street is the i9 is getting destroyed in charts by the 3 series
Coolio
I have a r7 2700 but i want to upgrade to them 3 series lol. As per the difference in a monetary value i'm not sure. I've always considered amd to be the android of the pc world while intel holds the apple name
ok
Intel definitely has some awesome tech but for budget to performance amd has always favored thinner wallets
cool
Hey @austere tree do you think https://www.newegg.com/msi-performance-gaming-b450-gaming-pro-carbon-ac/p/N82E16813144188?Description=msi b450 pro carbon ac&cm_re=msi_b450_pro_carbon_ac-_-13-144-188-_-Product would be a good fit for the 3 series?
sure, but if you're gonna go for that, you might as well wait for x570
that 3900x lookin supa sexy but almost threadripper esque i'd probably have to upgrade it
Yeah i have the msi with a r7 2700 and i really enjoy this mobo
I wouldn't want to get the lower end, that 3900x has me drooling
i might go for the 3700x
same; might splurge for a 3800x
8 is enough
for me
8 is more than enough lol but like how can you say no to a dozen of them little processor cores
working all hard to make my ultra graphics ultra graphical
stupid question, when are the new CPU's dropping and do you think they will be on sale for black friday
that's not a stupid question.
7/7
They release on the 7th yea
It's likely they will be out before and most probably on sale but not sure yet i don't know the release date
^
kckool
my data is really slow right now so imma leave
that might be the big sale coming up
I was gonna get the normal 2700 since I dont wanna spend too much haha
When are the X570 mobos going to be available? Also on the 7th?
i hope π¨
I think I'm gonna save money if I buy this now so I might as well
Is the 2700x pretty great?
I'm not really worried about the new chips coming out
the 2700x is an awesome chip
Its paired with the Asus rog strix b450
I made a mistake not buying the zotac 2080 on sale so I think I might as well buy this LOL

if you want to overclock; you can't do that on a b450 so
x470 if you want to overclock
any other differences?
"AMD also made sure to point out that the B450 chipset works with all of its Ryzen CPUs and even supports overclocking. Intel has mostly restricted overclocking to its Z370 and Z470 series chipsets, which are far pricier.Jul 31, 2018"
pc world said that
B450 is OK...x470 is better though for overclocking.
Hey do yall think the Ryzen 7 3800X is gonna out perform the i7 9700K in single threading?
Anandtech explains that x470 has SLI support and better VRM's.
Same I bought the 9700K a little afraid of its relatively in the long run, I know is still good but will it still hold its value for a long time is the real question.
is there a noticeable difference between a i7 8700k vs i7 9700k
it's a small performance improvement
^
the 9700k is same price as 8700k on amazon
8700 has 6 cores I believe versus the 9700 8 cores
9700 and 9900 are practically the same just the 9900 has hyper threading
the 9900 is more of a flex tho
@modest grove I would wait on the new ryzens tho
you can say you have an i9 to someone who judges processors by their name and theyre gonna think u have the best pc ever
Pretty much lol
But in all honesty it's all going to do better at things that require multithreading
Only*
yeah im gonna go with the 9700k its a free upgrade
Free? That's awesome! How so if you dont mind me asking?
ill dm you since its the a word website
hell yea

you could ask theo to price out the cheapest possible computer and hed still choose intel
Amd gang
im going to buy what performs better at the 8 core range
we will see what happens on 7/7
yup
can yall recommend any good mobos under $200?
intel or amd?
intel
that one.
link to them

matt's makes it easier for me to see what the page is without opening it :D
see, i do have a porpoise
because my data is slow
laughs in 150Mb/s
they're upgrading me to 750Mb/s soonTM
sobs in speed test failed to connect to server
that's awesome Matt.
the streets either side of my neighborhood already have it
oof
and then 150/month
i'll stick with my 90/month at 480mb/s
and they're doing the 750Mb/s over cable
its a 400mb plan, so I can't complain.
hmmm how can i check what we have
yeah technically this is still over cable.
you'd need to look at your parents bill
but from the pole to my house they said they have to install a new line.
yeah
i know the password to our account
that's why it cost so much
that's what they're doing here, fiber to the node
yeah
i'mma get that 750 for the same $85/mo
cries in 5Mb/s upload
and that's the next street over
i can get gigabit for $150
that's not a bad price for that bundle tbh
sure, if you can utilize it
hm
need to run a cable, fam
w h a t
That's on wifi the other end of the house from the router
i can get full speed at my neighbor's house
hold on im legit confused
it's a special package price to get you to sign a contract
because your contract pricing expired
just long enough to forget
i used to do level 1 and 2 tech support for Comcast
oh no it's one of the things i'm most ashamed of
but lemme tell you zack
the wireless gateway they give you?
that thing ain't pumping out a gig over wifi
yeah
if you guys do go for the gigabit plan, drop some serious cash on a good router
never fast enough
thanks for the reminder
oh damn
i need to update my account to 2 year locked plan
lmao
wait but wheres the pricing after the first year?
im not on a contract right now so its 183 per month
i can be 170 for two years and have gigabit

my ISP doesn't do contracts
I removed that image cause it shows your IP

my everyday internet lmao
i'm sorry

but hey it goes to 10 on download at around 3am
i won't complain about my 150 again
yeah
and we have 99.7% uptime
it's rare that our internet goes out because our ISP overbuilt the trunk network
mine crashes every now and then
unless power goes out or anything like a big storm
them ping times
oh mines a hotspot too
my phone hotspot is limited at 600kbps
yeah mine is tethered too
never heard that ever
rooted
it means his cell provider doesn't actually authorize him to run a hotspot
but he's doing it anyway
people used to get their contracts shut down for that
oof
yeah
lol
4tb a month
yeah, that's my average now
crazy
we've only used 433GB this week
jesus christ
goodnight, zack
good night
night
hagn cya around @urban ferry
Are there any new RAM releases with all the new stuff coming out in the next few days?
g skill had a bunch of new ram at computex
like 4000mhz and 5000mhz or something crazy like that π
π±
I'm looking to spend around $200-$300 on a CPU + Mobo (AMD pref due to bang for the buck and price drops with new gen coming out). The GPU I'll be pairing it with is a GTX 1070 (friend gave it to me for $100 since he upgraded). I plan on using this PC for about 4 years until I have a full time job and can go all out on a crazy build.
I live close to a Microcenter so the CPU+Mobo combo's are crazy cheap rn. I wasn't sure whether or not to get a 2600x, 2700, or 2700x.
My main concerns are I don't want to bottleneck my GPU (I don't plan on upgrading parts at all. I'm just gonna sell the whole rig after 4 years or so). I also wanna make sure my CPU and Mobo are balanced, as in I want my Mobo to be able to support everything my CPU can do (don't plan on overlocking).
Ideally I'd like to pair the CPU with https://www.microcenter.com/product/510034/rog-strix-b450-f-gaming-am4-atx-amd-motherboard
I like the looks and it's in my budget with all 3 of the CPU's
none of those will bottleneck ur 1070 really
id still go with a 2700 or a 2700x though
and that is a great mobo
If I get a 2700x, is that Mobo fine with it? It's like half the price of the CPU
even if a good quality mobo was half the price of a cpu, doesnt mean it will bottleneck
almost none of them will, unless it's a really old and beat up one
woah there calm down lol
a x470 board will bottleneck a 3000 series processor because it cant use pcie 4.0
so yes there are some factors that play into it
but just make sure you get the right socket and chipset for ur processor
yeah
that should be common sense
though i didnt mention it bec i probably forgot and people know what im saying
and my energy has been nonexistent this week
so eh
oof
been having fevers with an s because it's happened many times, stomach is upset cause of some pills and side effects
just the worst experience of being sick in my life
never would i have thought i would have to use the restroom 4 times in the span of less than 2 hours.
anyways, im pretty sure im getting better
https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1900x/p/N82E16819113457
is this a good cpu?
editing/rendering
Ok so I think I got dead ram but idk what to do
I did a memtest
It failed
I got the ram from Newegg
What do I do???
send @glad socket a message
and wait for them to get back up with you, @celest oasis
Ok thanks
@modest grove That CPU isnβt a very good purchase right now
the price?
You can get a Ryzen 7 2700X for less than that and it will have better performance
And the motherboards for Threadripper ate more expensive
3rd gen Ryzen is also coming out on Sunday and will have better performance although the current discounts on current gen Ryzen makes them a very good value
Microcenter has a physical sale on 2700x
Just saying lol
200 for 2700x and 30 dollars off if you get a paired mobo
nearest microcenter to me is 300 miles away
whats generally better for a cpu for gaming. intel or Ryzen
ryzen, for gaming.
what makes ryzen better? do they just process faster?
I probably shoulda asked this before i bought my pc. I have an i7 9700k processor with a rtx 2070 coming in
that is still a great PC.
intel is great for gaming as well, it's just a bit more expensive.
yeah I got to use it for a day and then it turned off and wouldnt turn back on. im waiting for my return to arrive for them to send another one
with ryzen you can almost get the same effect, with a lot less hurt on the wallet.
OOH I REMEMBER YOU
oh ok. so they are comparable just ryzen is a bit cheaper
yeah
matt can give you the details on the difference
the R5 3600, according to leaks is going to be comparable to a 9900K
whats the price difference
the 3600 is $200
by more than half, yes
3600 comparable to a 9900k?
got your parents wallet out
i kid
but yeah, if the leaks are true, and i'm honestly waiting for reviews
then AMD knocked it out of the park
Iβm getting a 3900X which according to AMD is equivalent to the 14 core i9
nah @austere tree i think imma be mostly paying for my pc
nice
@urban ferry you didnt see the chart?
3600 equals big boy to 9900k
there's benchmarks
π¨
thats crazyy
i tried not to look at leaked benchmarks
just in case theyre fake
i know i just dont like leaks and rumors about things that i really care about
no spoilers π€
that wasnt a rumor
oh ok
you'd rather wait for results later of something you wont buy than sooner
0 K
i'm waiting for independent reviews before i believe anything
yeah ofc
yeah
though the 3600 and 9900k thing is already established
and i do plan on buying 3rd gen ryzen
cant wait to see how it performs when every tech youtuber uploads a video about everything new
yeah, i'mma go 3rd gen ryzen later this month/early next month
Excited for the new chip sets...
nice
ALL ABOARD THE RYZEN 3000 HYPE TRAIN π
we been on that hype since beginning of 2019 bois
even more now than ever
I am Intel fan, but AMD made a good look.. so I am excited. Glad there is competition again.
-dance-
TRAITOR
i have a fx-8350
good enough
that's a good reason, yeah
Noob question regarding a motherboard, Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula
in number 1 in the diagram, what is the purpose of the left 4pin one?
the extra 4pin is for extreme oc'ing
Is it required to power both the 4 and the 8 or only the 8pin on the right?
which that board is for
so supplementary power?
i guess my next question is what is considered "extreme"?
ok just thought id ask here...thank you for your time!
where you pump the voltages up to get those high clocks
Is the 3600 better and cheaper than the 2700x...?
itβs the same price when itβs on sale
hello
hi.
theres nothing on that list
that will get you the full potential out of the 2700
that's a great board, it'll work well with the 3000 series launching tomorrow as well
i would get one, but my budget constricts me
yea
oh okay, i was gonna recommend the 1650 for the same money
just my motherboard is a custom one by hp so it's smaller than a mini atx
yeah, those SFF boards are a pain
yeah, i'm using a Dell board, it's mostly standard
huh
Do you guys have any suggestions on what kind of gaming monitor I can get for under 200 dollars I am upgrading my setup
Thank you
And for the processor I was Thinking the Amd Ryzen 5 or should I go with intel?
Ok
and a distinct lack of bezels
yeah
And 5000 pings monitor looks like on my grandma uses
me - 1 zack - 0
Matts is better
that is a nice monitor
And itβs curved
MSI Optix G24C Black & Red 23.6" Curved FHD 1080p 1ms (MPRT) 144Hz 110% sRGB Widescreen LCD AMD FreeSync Non-Glare Curved Gaming Monitor 250 cd/m2 3000:1 HDMI DisplayPort DVI https://m.newegg.com/product/9SIA2W06DX4775?m_ver=1
i like that one
it looks modern and has all the good features
and sub 200 by 5 cents lol
taxes have entered the chat
The only thing 5000 ping is that my setup I am going with a black white and iceblue theme and the monitor has red on it
SPRAYPAINT
it's a great keyboard
K also what kind of switchβs would be best
that's entirely up to you
Cherry MX keyboards switches - They're all different from each other, but what they have in common is they are ALL better than membrane switches. Yuck. FORUM...
Our last video on mechanical keyboard switches came out four years ago! So we decided it was time for a second episode where we go over other types of switch...
Whatβs your preference
i prefer browns
reds are supposed to be soft, but I think they are louder than browns personally. I tend to bottom them out when typeing or gaming.
Anyone know if the company oloy has a good reputation for ram
k
Anyone know what time the new AMD stuff goes on sale tomorrow?
I'm not sure
6am pacific on Newegg site
theo you lost your opportunity
you coulda said in a couple days
and theyd all be sold out
ty theo. Online retailers is about all I got. Not sure of any actual retail store selling any of this stuff near me.
Trying not to wait to much longer, no idea what's wrong with my current setup all my usb ports are dead except for two. Sound goes out if cases is bumped lol...
sounds like loose wiring?
I've double checked just about everything, but I don't think much can be done about anything inside the Motherboard
As the usb ports directly connected to the motherboard are dead, and the leds on the motherboard don't light up anymore either
Power issue, maybe but my graphics card and stuff still work in games so...
yikes.
Either way, this computer has been travelled with a lot to many lan parties and stuff. So it's been knocked around a bit.
You've held off this long, what's another 12 hours for AMD zen2 π
me right now.
Yeah, I'm just scared of a slight breeze π
please don't sneeze.
It's just that feeling of I can't fix it and it's old. So I'm going to get something nice and new π
nice π

after you build it send pics to #build-pics for a chance to have NewEggplays showcase it on their Twitch stream
With Ryzen release, I'm sure there will hundreds or thousands
nah π
Tomorrow's the big day, everyone excited? well we know Theo isn't π

\o/
lets go
do AMD cpus work well with nvidia gpus?
yeah
doesnt matter between those two
nothing changes
you can have intel cpu with amd gpu
same thing other way around, no difference
other than bonus points for having both companies in one build ig? lmao
okay thanks, just trying to find places to save money
and that still runs the same as intel and nvidia!?
awesome
idk why you would think there would be a problem just because its different companies lol, i dont think they would hate each other so much that they would restrict access if you had both
but ig some people have some misconceptions but that's alright
the more you know my friend
yeah, im just new to pc so just asking as mang questions as possible
alright, that's fine to be curious if you're new
anything else that some of us might be able to answer for you?
yeah, what are threads in a cpu?
ah
here's google
"It means that the CPU has 2 physical cores but can process 4 threads simultaneously through hyper threading or Simultaneous multithreading (SMT)."
is correct
is that why cpuβs have double the threads than cores?
yes
except the i79700k
"Having more threads than cores means useful work can be done while high-latency tasks are resolved"
that's exactly what it means
get more crap done man
ahhhhh okay that makes sense
haha yeah, thanks man
though you dont need THAT many cores if you wanna game a lot so dont worry
8 cores is alot for just gaming and streaming?
what cpu is that?
6 core is great for general use and gaming
would you recommend r7 2700?
8 core is for more advanced stuff and streaming
the next gen ryzen cpus come out tomorrow
mHm
lol
@hasty marsh 1500
get a 3900x lol
tomorrrrrooowwwww
though i cant speak
that is me
because yeah
i was looking at the 2070
im a laughing stock in a picture
@ruby vale wait a few days, then come back to us, then we can recommend the new cards and cpus to see which is best for your budget alright?
sound good?
okay! sounds good
for now, just decide your psu ram and fans and case and accessories and whatnot
"and, and and and"
"AND"
may i recommend 3200mhz ram
3000 and higher is perfect, better not to go below though you can
i already have 16gb or 3200mhz
3000 or above is ideal bec the amd bois love their ram
a 650 or 750w psu rated 80 plus gold
verrryyy niceeee
for 1500 budget?
go higher, if he wants to futureproof
just in case there ever is.
y'know
y'know
1400w ftw
y'KN0w
yee yee, probably go for a 800 if thats a thing
and the new apple mac pro has it
oh i forgot, your budget even allows for a 2080
this boi about to get the GOODS when that new stuff releases yo
im jealous. i want a 2060 super in the future
maybe a few years.
apple mac can die.
lol
the goods haha yeah lol
remember your schedule s0n
meet here after that new STuFf gets released for people to buy
you will wake up at 6 am.
SERGEANT
after the 3000 series comes out?
π
@ruby vale If you mean the new ryzen's coming out tomorrow, I'd recommend at least the 2nd series mobo's like x470, B450. I can show you some. They would need BIOS updates though, if you can, it's best to get the 3rd/newest gen mobo's.
i dont think i will OC
and maybe a bit of overclocking
yeah
b450 is fine then
and yes that is a very good motherboard
okay very nice, ty
we do try to keep the shopping links to newegg tho
https://www.newegg.com/msi-arsenal-gaming-b450-tomahawk/p/N82E16813144189 Is a good cheap priced B450.
ur fine
pair that with 3200mhz ram, a 3000 series ryzen processor, and youve got urself one powerful machine
assuming 3000 series is good
which it should be
yeah hahaha, i think i will just stick to 2700x
@ruby vale oh you already have a 2700x?
no but thats what i was looking at
ok
hahaha
2700x vs 3700x... whats the difference? Same cores and threads, but the 2700x is 100 bucks less
Better performance while using less power
User benchmark is not a good benchmarking website. ITs a bunch of bs, tbh
However, I have heard that the 3700 uses less power
Overall, even tho it's the same number of cores I'd say it's guaranteed better performance. Is it justified by the price over the 2700x??... I have no clue. But I personally am excited for the 3800x
I mean, I think I may just get the 2700x. IT comes with a bundle. The bundle being this: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Ryzen&qid=1562477719&s=pc&sr=1-2&th=1. All I'd need is a x470 mother board.
If I go for the 3700, I am looking at $329 + $100ish for fan + possible $200 + for mobo. Over 600 dollars. 2700x with cooler and mobo could be under 400
I have a 700 W power supply so, I am not worried about W's
a streamer told me that the ryzen 5 2600x out performs the 7 2700x but idk
That streamer probably wasn't looking at base clock benchmarks tho
It isnt (literally) technically possible to outperform the 2700. The 2700 has 2 more cores and 4 more threads. It also has a .1 better base clock.
anyone know anything about corsair ram version numbers?
I've been having a lot of memory related BSODs since I put on an overclock, and today I realized that two of my ram kits don't match version numbers
same exact part number, and were ordered from the same amazon page...
from different bins.
did you order the same time, or was there a gap between purchases
there was a gap... but why would they keep the same model number if they're getting changed
so am I basically **** out of luck?
i could be wrong, but isnt there software that comes with the ryzen 3000 series that finds a stable overclock for you?
anyone know where I can buy ryzen 5 3600 in the uk ? I tried on newegg uk and its there but doesnt work when going to checkout
tecnically it's not out yet., even though you can buy it through bundles
but its release is 9am Pacific standard time.
ah okay cheers @weak hamlet
don't we all.
ddr4
yes
so all you need is just 1 stick of 8GB?
what frequency
are you adding to existing ram
you said and i quote " I need 1 stick"
okay
mhm
well there you go, i linked 1 stick
Thanks
make you get the same ram or the timings could be off
it would help, yeah
So I should get 3200mhz TridentZ RAM to pair with a Ryzen 3700X??
that should be fine
Should I pay attention to CAS Latency?
with ryzen the higher the frequency the better
i don't think it does but i'm not sure
@austere tree whats your opinion
heres a good article i found that explains how cas latency works: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cas-latency-ram-cl-timings-glossary-definition,6011.html
the lower the cas latency the better
@keen hazel you know you can't just add a random stick of ram and run in dual channel right? the two sticks have to match
I know
I wanted to do it
but I barely realised it
The ram in that picture
I have that model
okay
what cpu
okay so not ryzen
nnope
how soon can we expect a drop in intel prices to combat the new amd processors?
Never
Forget about intel for now
how much will the 3rd gen amd prices range?
Now the big question of how long to restock π
will a AMD Ryzen 7 2700 beat any of the new ryzen 3000? I'm looking for more of a gaming/youtube side of cpu
2700X is doing well in benchmarking videos
i'm looking at the 2700 not the 2700X because of price
I was supposed to get a 2600 but microcenter ran out so I got a free upgrade to the 2700
yea?
havent overclocked becuase of stock cooler but it runs well
like recording while gaming, etc works great
do you know if it would allow me to run rust with a 1050 ti at medium graphics at least?
I run with a 1050ti as well and it runs all my games at at least 60fps while recording
do you know what the heaviest game you have is?
gta 5 I run on low settings but I think I get 60fps? I havent played in a while though so that might be wrong
alright, thank you
its really a huge gpu bottleneck tbh
the 1050?
cause my cpu never goes above 20% lol
oof
i just bought the 1050 because it was on sale and i needed a graphics card, the one i got with a prebuilt hp desktop fried itself overnight while pc was in sleep
thats rough
ye
now im learning a cpu upgrade will need to be soon so i though why not do it all at once, which also means new power supply and motherboard
was it still under warranty?
no
im still running an old 600w thermaltake psu, it really scares me sometimes
just hoping it doesnt explode lol
yeah that might be a bit under powered
yeah ive been looking for something with a better rep
yea, problem with pc parts is price, I always want the best for what i can get but with pc videos i watch it makes me want more
yup
would have bought a better pc to begin with but i wanted to have a console to play with some friends too, so i bought a ps4 and tv for it, then another monitor for my pc, and that probably contributed to my graphics card dying
2700 would be great for that but the 6 core 3000 comes really close if not matching it in most use cases
3000 beats it in gaming
2700 is still a great cpu for that though
not seeing much of a reason to upgrade from 2700x
no, im upgrading to the 2700 not the 2700x
yea i have a intel i5 7400 right now
gotcha
yea prices are the worst part of upgrading or building a pc
get x470
agreed
there are some solid 470 boards out there
Deciding and reading reviews is the worst part of building a PC
it can be confusing
I have the gigabyte gaming wifi
Yeah I watched a few review videos and decided, and now I don't have anything lol
granted those few review videos and write ups actually took me a few hours to decide lol
it takes me days lol
Hoping the 3000 stuff is back in stock somewhere in a reasonable amount of time though
ye
The worst part is, I knew it was going to sell out and I lost track of time comparing everything lol
Really needed the benchmarks and stuff yesterday π
ye things sell out fast when it's fast or just good in general
is the 3600 x worth it compared to the 3600? Performance is about the same.
not really sure the 3600 and the 3600x comparison is kind of just odd to me. on paper they look almost the same, 3600x has a little higher clocks and higher TDP.
you could probably overclock it more idk
But to figure that out, someone would have to test that comparison.
Most of the benchmarks, reviews and OC are about the 3700 and up
I've found some about the 3600 and x already
Seems like it's a smidge better
I'll probably shoot for it
I'm going to wait for the 3700 or 3900 to become available again
looking forward to seeing more on the 3800 and 3600x
tech deals did a review of the 3600x today
3700x and 3900x both look amazing but can't justify upgrading from a 2700x
I'm not even ryzen so it's a huge upgrade.
if you don't need to upgrade that's fine
the thing is, if you're comfortable now
you can just wait as long as you want until newer, even better stuff comes out

exactly π
I keep doing that. why im still on FX lol
lol
