and you get an activate windows watermark at the nottom right but its not noticable

#

heady root Nov 3, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

it might bother you for a little but you get used to it

#

goes away when you activate it

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

yea

midnight pollen Nov 3, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

Once installed you could try an eBay key and if it don’t work then hey it’s 5usd vs 100usd and eBay has good buyer protection is they cover that stuff anyway

lone oar Nov 3, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

Ok

#

Btw the one I found is digital

#

Yay

midnight pollen Nov 3, 2020, 6:27 AM

Ofc I would only buy a digital key after I had installed windows and am ready to put it in

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

i mean it goes over my budget like around 50 bucks

#

what u guys think?

#

vivid spruce Nov 3, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

Hi there,
Anyone has information on when will they list AMD new CPUs and GPUs?
I mean in NewEgg.com

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

not on launch day thats for sure

#

like 2 or 3 days after launch

hexed bison Nov 3, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

True

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

and big navi launch day isn't gonna get any better

#

so this case i got has 2

#

tacit spade Nov 3, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

technically it should

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

nice

tacit spade Nov 3, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

yeah the fractal design can support ATX, mATX, and ITX

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

but i just did it for the sake of some modular stuff to it

#

cheaping out too much on a psu is pretty bad

#

no i dont think so?

#

modular?

#

okay?

I had a Ryzen 2000 chip, it went unused after my mobo died... do you think Ryzen 5000 is worth the upgrade or should I wait for the new 5nm process and the new socket?

hexed bison Nov 3, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

hmmmmm

zinc nova Nov 3, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Im working on a ryzen build and have a 32gb kit of cmw32gx4m2c3200c16 but my mobo QVL shows that only the cmw32gx4m2z3200c16 kit is compatible. Sure enough when you enable xmp the system refuses to boot. From what I've found on the web and from forums is that they are essentially the same kit of ram with different sub timings. I've played around with the timings a little bit and was able to get in to windows but kept having blue screens. Was wondering if anyone had the sub-timings for the cmw32gx4m2z3200c16 kit i could try to see if they would make this cmw32gx4m2c3200c16 kit work on this board

Hey Guys , Wanted To Ask A Question , I Will Be Using Ryzen 5 3600XT + GTX GeForce 1660 Super + 6 ARGB FANS and A Full Size ATX MoBo , I Am Tight On Budget And Only Have A 450W CoolerMaster 80+ White Certified PSU , will It Cause Any Harm? , I won't be OCing Anything

hexed bison Nov 3, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

honestly, i'd suggest getting a 650W

#

just incase

languid jacinth Nov 3, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

Yup , But I Am Tight On Budget , So Was Only Able To Get A 450W psu

#

Will It Run Or Cause any Problems?

hexed bison Nov 3, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

do u know how much wattage each component takes up

coral marlin Nov 3, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

hi

languid jacinth Nov 3, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Yes

#

It All Sums Up To Around 393 W

hexed bison Nov 3, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

alright then

#

maybe try and find a 500w psu that's about the same price as the 450w, you never know

languid jacinth Nov 3, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

Ok

#

:)

carmine lynx Nov 3, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

would a 2060 super ryzen 9 5900x on a 650W powersupply work?

#

also im upgrading to a 3080 later

hexed bison Nov 3, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

no

#

at least an 850 or above

Depending on the processor either 2933 or 3200

@languid jacinth wait 2 days for Ryzen 5000

naive pendant Nov 3, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

yep. or either buy a 3600 non xt

#

50 bucks saved there

jovial kayak Nov 3, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Ryzen 5000 is so far ahead of everything else tho

naive pendant Nov 3, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

but more expensive...

#

since hes on a budget i figure he's better buying a 3600 and a new psu

jovial kayak Nov 3, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

I suppose so

naive pendant Nov 3, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

btw, i just found out that my mobo doesnt recognize dragoncenter installed... my rgb doesnt work... i have a b550 tomahawk. any ideas?

jovial kayak Nov 3, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

I don’t have rgb so idk

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

simple answer

#

delete dragon center

#

install mystic lights separately

#

Dragon center kind of sucks.

naive pendant Nov 3, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

cannot do that on latest models...

@fallow junco

upgrade to radeon 6000 if you can afford it

naive pendant Nov 3, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

is it just me or are the intel motherboards more expensive than the amd motherboards

#

can i clean my old thermal paste using hand sanitizer?
@shut wasp just use alchool

shut wasp Nov 3, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

i dont have one

midnight pollen Nov 3, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

if you dont have alcohol could try a wet cloth, tho you have to be careful water does not evaporate as fast

#

no touching anything other than heatspreader and use very little, you dont want it to get on the board

#

i would still highly reccomend you get rubbing alcohol

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Rubbing alcohol, not wine or something

valid thorn Nov 3, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

XD Could you imagine?

#

Just going to pour some red on here, the tannins will get all that dirt off

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

Vodka though

#

Vodka works

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

well vodka is pretty close to rubbing alcohol

valid thorn Nov 3, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

depends on the Vodka I suppose

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

Yeah lol

#

And people drink it

#

For fun

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

Im sure barcardi 151 is also a good cleaning solution

valid thorn Nov 3, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

for kitchen sinks maybe, not human bodies XD

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

you can also wipe thermal paste off with a dry towel it just takes longer

valid thorn Nov 3, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

☝️ In all seriousness this is the best option if you don't have rubbing alcohol

#

just takes patience

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Rubbing alcohol is fairly common though, not too expensive, and just a good cleaning product to have anyways

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:05 PM

Alrighty, I'm trying to figure out if I can/if it's worth it for me to buy a m.2 to pcie adapter. I've got a ASRock 760GM-HDV mobo and I can't seem to figure out if I'm going to be able to boot from a ssd installed as such. Or if it's just going to be a steam library.

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

if the motherboard supports booting from pcie devices than it should work

finite sigil Nov 3, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

I'm guessing the easiest way to find that info is to go to my bios, yeah?

#

I'm not sure where I can find this info currently

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

@finite sigil yeah according to this forum needs bios version 2.90P so you might need to flash bios

I mean doesnt the a320 only have 2 dimm slots

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

no there are 4 dimm

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

might help to know which a320

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

i saw one from msi

#

forgot the name

brave cobalt Nov 3, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

so i have a ryzen 5 1600 and am wanting to upgrade to a ryzen 7 2700x but my mobo is a ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 Micro ATX, do i get a new mobo too?

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

its an msi a320m-a pro max

#

vs

#

b450 pro4

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

unless you found some frankenstein chinese one it should only have 2 dimm slots

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Lmao

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

oof

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

well I didnt think there was an a320 with 4 slots but I wanted to make sure

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

actually screw the a320 im interested in the Gigabyte B450M DS3H vs b450 pro4

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

much better choices

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

which one is better overall for r5 3400g

#

not gonna overclock

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

I choose the b450 pro4 simply because it has 2 m.2 slots as opposed to 1

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

what about vram or what its call

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

they are very similar motherboards in respect to everything else including vrms

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

are they compatible with the 3400g?

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

I think the pro4 also has a slightly better sound card built in and yes they will both work with a 3400g

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

like out of the box or with a bios update?

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

you might need to flash the bios

#

depends on if gigabyte is updating them in house prior to sending out

#

only the msi ones can boot without a cpu in the socket

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

do i even need a cpu with an msi board?

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

lol yeah it can only flash bios without a cpu

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

ah lol

#

okay so b450 pro4 is good?

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

yes

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

is it comparable to an x470 gaming plus max msi?

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

not really

#

x470 gaming plus is like twice the cost or more

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

plus max is cheaper with the newest bios

#

160CAD

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

canada is kind of wierd for pc part prices

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

ikr

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

so are you saying the x470 is cheaper than the b450 pro4?

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

i think so

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

well if it is then go for it

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

prices in canada are jacked

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

its twice the price in the USA

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

damn

#

bruh i found a b450m bazooka max wifi for 20 bucks cheaper than the x470

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

in canadian monies that b450 would cost 100CAD and the x470 would cost in 209CAD in the USA

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

thats the plus

#

gaming plus MAX is what i was looking at

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

I would get the x470 for the price

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

tho the b450 bazooka max wifi is cheaper

#

with wifi and max bios

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

they were both max

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

ye

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

By the way, max doesn't mean newest bios

#

it only means 3rd gen compatible bios

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

and that just means what i was talking about earlier with bios updates

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

ik ik

#

so they're both 3000 compatible

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

yes

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

with a possible bios update maybe 5000

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

maybe no confirmation on the 5000 compatibilty

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

but between those two boards which one comes out on top?

pastel monolith Nov 3, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

@hollow thorn what do you think x470 gaming plus max or B450 pro4 or B450 bazooka max wifi ? (weird canada pricing so dont consider cost)

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 3:47 PM

I'm waiting for mastersheet to load

no good audio chip in any of em

oh well

I say x470

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 4:01 PM

yes

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 4:02 PM

Y E S

so msi made a b450 version

#

b450 gaming plus max vs x470 gaming plus max they both come really close with similar specs

So if your board doesn’t have wifi what’s the best solution

Besides Ethernet cable

hollow kraken Nov 3, 2020, 4:33 PM

get a wifi and bluetooth pcie adapter?

So guys I'm in need for some help. I built a pc back in February. R5 3400G 4C/8T and 2x8 3200Mhz Crucial on a Gigabyte B450m ds3h. It's powered by one of the Microcenter's 80+ Bronze psu.

It was mainly built for school stuff, development and ethical hacking. No plans of gaming at all.

#

Recently I got into gaming after 4-5 years, started with Valorant, looking forward to playing Mafia, Cyberpunk, GTA. I do plan to get a SIM racing setup some time in future. So I was thinking of getting a 5600XT. But how much of a bottleneck will the 3400G be? And if it is going to be a bottleneck will that render the 5600XT useless?

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

@ember fiber it will be a fine card, no bottleneck

urban cosmos Nov 3, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

quick question. has anyone experienced this?

last time i worked on a pc, i had an issue where the cpu would stick to the cooler (i think because of the paste) and the cooler would rip the cpu out of the socket. i secured the cpu correctly but it kept coming out when i took the cooler off.

slate meadow Nov 3, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

That has happened to me before. At first I thought the cpu wasn’t held correctly in the socket but the system worked. So it should be fine. Just be careful and don’t let that happen for the risk of breaking a pin on the CPU just wiggle the cooler until it comes off without the cpu.

urban cosmos Nov 3, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

right. i wasnt sure if it was a weird one-off thing or not. i was stressing really badly while trying to put it all back together

#

granted, it was my friend's prebuilt walmart pc

uncut root Nov 3, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

What do you guys think of the evga 1060 ftw

spare marsh Nov 3, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

is their any real value in lower ram cache latency in a stock / low oc clocked system, for example
A) https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232865
B) https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232869
both 3600 but cas 16 vs 18 for a $60 difference

#

maybe to add a little context if necessary, with a higher end cpu like 3900x / 5900x

naive pendant Nov 3, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Should I get the 5800x or 5900x for gaming at 1080p

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

you should wait for reviews.

#

@urban cosmos and @slate meadow both of you should try and remember to "twist" the cooler instead of pulling

#

no matter how old/new the paste is that is :)

slate meadow Nov 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Yep

urban cosmos Nov 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

that wont put too much pressure on the pins of the cpu?

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

its "in" a frame that secures it and protects it from sideaway forces like that

spare marsh Nov 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

try running the pc for a little before trying, warm/hot paste will separate easier *obviously turn the power off before trying to remove the heatsink though

urban cosmos Nov 3, 2020, 6:35 PM

i had the same issue, spend 10 minutes with a hair dryer, which I do not recommend as you can then overheat the cpu and dmg it

I currently have a Ryzen 9 3900xt that I am not using and am looking for a motherboard. The question that I am wondering about is what x570 motherboard should I get (I need to get one with wifi (or a wifi card) because I cant get ethernet to my room because it is too far from the router). I am planning on doing a mostly white build in my black case but will eventually change cases as well.

I am planning on doing so light video editing and after effects work but also alot of gaming, I am wondering if I should just get 2x16 and then eventually after a few months get another 32gb or if I should just get 4x8gb sticks. (planning on getting trident z neo cause ill be using ryzen (3600mhz)).

stoic mist Nov 3, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

do you like rgb

#

or do u not care

torpid pecan Nov 3, 2020, 6:55 PM

not like its the most important thing but I would prefer to have it because id want to have all my stuff match my colorscheme (which varies at times).

stoic mist Nov 3, 2020, 6:56 PM

ok

#

well corsair has some super good rgb ones

torpid pecan Nov 3, 2020, 6:57 PM

yeah but neo is built for ryzen and corsair for their white rgb pro and it costs like $45 more

#

and neo is rgb im pretty sure

floral turret Nov 3, 2020, 6:57 PM

I know the tridentz neo 3600 cl16 are like 115 for 2x8gb

Idk about the 2x16 kit though

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Probably overpriced

torpid pecan Nov 3, 2020, 6:58 PM

yeah ill either get 2x16 (if I get corsair) and then get dummies until I get another 32gb or ill just get 4x8

stoic mist Nov 3, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

z royal is 176 32 gb

floral turret Nov 3, 2020, 6:58 PM

It’s 3600mhz and cl16 the price doesn’t fall the same even with minor performance differences

stoic mist Nov 3, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

cl19

torpid pecan Nov 3, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

should I get 2x16 or 4x8? cause i wont really need 64 and 32 would probably be more than enough

floral turret Nov 3, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Probably 2x16

stoic mist Nov 3, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

2x16

floral turret Nov 3, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Gives you the option to go 4x16 in the future

torpid pecan Nov 3, 2020, 7:00 PM

@torpid pecan the whole "built for" on ram is just marketing having a field day

because it makes it so much simpler to upgrade down the line

I read somewhere online that when you have a large amount of RAM, high speeds can have problems, is this true?

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 8:34 PM

kinda

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 8:34 PM

true

#

but it depends 100% on your definition of "high speed"

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

It's NOT a simple answer though.

#

this isn't a "64gb at 3200mhz or 32gb at 3600mhz" thing, it's much more complicated

but the answer to your question is true as a trend.

Software kinda garbage but otherwise it’s cool

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

no mainstream bios can compare with nzxt

#

idc what bios you have

#

at least it ain't nzxt bios

#

a bios that barely works

#

I've been told XMP doesn't even exist as an option on some for some reason

#

or just doesn't work

#

just switches itself back off

#

just don't bother

#

but yea

#

Gigabyte, Asus, MSI bioses are actually good afaik

#

Some people dislike Asus bios for the layout

stark laurel Nov 3, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Also will AMD smart access memory work on a B550?

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 9:07 PM

some don't like MSI bios for the color

stark laurel Nov 3, 2020, 9:07 PM

I might’ve already asked that

Can you mix ram kits?

#

No. I have the oloy warhawks rn and I was wondering if I could put the trident z

#

I don’t have them I was just curious

#

Idk. Would they need to be?

green terrace Nov 3, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

Why are you considering mixed ram @burnt notch ?

#

Usually it’s best to match ram exactly

#

Otherwise you can run into xmp issues at best or stability issues at worst

burnt notch Nov 3, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

Because I didn’t know when I first bought my ram and then I did research and saw that there was better ram out there so I was wondering if I could put the better stuff with my ok stuff

#

Ya know

green terrace Nov 3, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

I definitely wouldn’t mix manufacturers

#

Are you on ryzen or intel?

spare marsh Nov 3, 2020, 9:29 PM

that ram you post is just rgb for 80 dollar more

Is dual channel or quad channel better

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 10:21 PM

@heady cliff look at timings

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 10:22 PM

@burnt notch for the cpu's that require quad ... well they require quad

hollow thorn Nov 3, 2020, 10:22 PM

Dunno

Usually crucial has 2x32 3600c16 sticks at 250$

Okay so I need recommendations on how much memory I should get

#

Right now I have 2x16 and I’m thinking it’ll be enough, but I want to make sure

#

I obviously do some gaming stuff, but I also stream, I make video games, and I do a bit of simple graphic design

#

Would any of those need more than 32?

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 11:02 PM

in theory no

#

but IF you need more down the line, you can always add it

#

so no big deal

silent sandal Nov 3, 2020, 11:03 PM

Alright, just making sure it wasn’t too small off the bat

@vague siren they are a retail vendor. just like a lot of other places. they will all have it

@viscid iris with the correct bios, yes.

IF the numbers are true from the press releases, they are a wee bit too busy this year to really launch anything else this year

Tbh q1 2021 is sooner than I’d expect it

gritty meadow Nov 3, 2020, 11:34 PM

because the architecture etc will have been marketed, so there is no need to "wait" on that being done

prior= when the 3600 was in it?

with the 2200G in there

naive pendant Nov 4, 2020, 12:06 AM

update the bios to the newest

Awesomeness, imma check the 2600x again in another system and hopefully it works still cause the 2200G is depressing me with how little i can play at 60 fps without maxing out usage

For the average person, it offers nothing more than a 100$ B550 PG4

What about the PCIe slots, which slots do you need?

Article is universal.

#

just remember. pull the power plug from the machine

#

this is VERY important

mellow current Nov 4, 2020, 2:05 AM

Okay got it

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

make sure to do every step

#

but yea

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

aye, i just like to really stress that part :)

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

Intel did not make that really clear

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

its an engineer that wrote that most likely

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

mhm

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

because if it was a customer service person

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

wouldn't be surprised if a few people just yanked 24pin or something when they read that

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

there would be about 200 steps

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

heh

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

and i so effing wish i was joking on that

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

I mean, if it means less annoying calls, they'd do it.

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

aye

#

there is another reason for it

#

"have you followed the steps?" "yes!"

#

"And it still does not work?" "no!" "okay, then you are a certified donkey, and i cannot help you anymore. have a lovely day"

@mild jackal Think it's a good idea to pin the am4 mobo sheet somewhere?

There's a summary of it in the pins, but sure

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

Oh I don't use it for VRMs

#

I use it to check IO/Sound chip/Internal headers

#

alright nice

split copper Nov 4, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

thank you NeweggService very cool

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

My mobo is the only rgb thing I have

mellow current Nov 4, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

I used the article

#

Still no display

#

So I think maybe my motherboard might be the problem

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

At what time should I be expecting the 5900x to be stocked on thursday?

ember knot Nov 4, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

Wouldn't it be 12:00?

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

I was thinking 9am

#

I don't feel like staying up 20 hours straight but I might have to

ember knot Nov 4, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

I don't rly know, I sort of assumed it was going to be 12:00

noble sable Nov 4, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

would a micro atx be fine for a 3070

prisma nymph Nov 4, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

yes, motherboard form factor doesnt affect anything

#

quality of the motherboard does however

noble sable Nov 4, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

any recommendations for a amd micro budgeted heh

ashen thorn Nov 4, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Is the Asus Tuf X570 pro WiFi a good motherboard for the Ryzen 9 3900x?

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

I found a prebuilt that’s actually a good price

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Yes, buy a duron 1400

#

They should be around 20$ by now

#

For full barebones

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

I7 10700f, 2070 super, 16gb of ram, 600W power supply

#

And it’s on sale for $1200

#

Thoughts?

fallen lynx Nov 4, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

too much

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

I’m hoping to run doom eternal at 100+ fps at 1440p with ultranightmare settings

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

Sounds good to me if it's new with warranty

#

If it's used I would offer less

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

It’s a $500gpu and a $400 cpu

#

It’s on Newegg

#

I figure for that price that’s barely any build fee

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

Are you in a hrry to buy a new system?

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

I mean I’m impatient

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

If not I would recommend waiting after christmas

#

You could buy that system used for 600$

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

I mean if I find a better deal I can return it until January 31st

fallen lynx Nov 4, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

2070 is NOT worth $500 anymore

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Or for the same price get a 5600x with a 6800 or 3060ti

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

It still sells for $500 tho

fallen lynx Nov 4, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

yes, but its a TERRIBLE Value

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Idk if I can actually find those parts anywhere though

#

And I don’t trust myself to install a cpu

fallen lynx Nov 4, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

CPU is like the easiest part lol

#

if you have working eyeballs

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

All of the pc is easy tbh

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

I’ve heard of so many people accidentally bending a pin

#

And then it’s just completely dead from there

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

Just don’t mess up the thermal paste

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

With intel it's LGA, bending pins is not as easy anymore

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

@plush knot just dont headbutt the cpu socket or the cpu

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

You first PC build is the most intimidating

#

It gets easier after that

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

I mean for $1200 is this still a good pc tho

gritty meadow Nov 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

as long as you dont rush. there is nothing complicated about building a machine

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

It’s literally just building legos

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

2 months ago people on here would have said yes

devout mothBOT Nov 4, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

Mikescool16#4877 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

Oh my bad I meant it’s kind of a sh¡++y motherboard

#

It’s only a b460

hollow thorn Nov 4, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

avoiding filter bad

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

Sorry

pearl coral Nov 4, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

Smh

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

But like realistically would I be able to get those parts before January 31st

#

Because if so I will return this and buy them

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

We keep it PG 13

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

Do you guys think I would realistically be able to get that gpu and cpu by then

#

Again my bad

#

Sorry

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

And by that we forget than when we were 13 we were cursing harder than at any other time in our lives

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

I think I am buying 5900x on launch day

#

spending all my internship money on new computer is clearly the only responsible thing to do

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

My main concern is not being able to get a 3070 for a super long time

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

honestly

#

you should probably write a bot

heady root Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

lame^

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

Idk how to do that

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

not really possible for human to get one

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

Exactly

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

I mean it's not lame as long as you don't resell it

#

if normal consumers also use bots it's less power to scalpers

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

I can return this until the 31st of January

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Or do resell it to make money

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

at the end of the day not everyone will get a card no matter what as long as there are supply shortages

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Yeah spend all your student loans on fancy computer gear and then go burn down a city after to show how upset you are with student loans after 😄

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Like if you’re already being cringe and writing a bot, might as well just go all the way

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

the thing is if you are good enough at programming to do that you can probably earn more money doing real work than scalping cards

#

I would only do it if I wanted one for myself

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

Scalping cards is way easy money though

#

Hence why people do it

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

It's not that easy

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

I had an idea

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

You need to acquire the commodity

#

And then peddle it

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

you are still risking money because you can't know for sure how demand will change over time

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

And deal with shippers

#

There's a lot of risk involved

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

I buy the pc and then sell and replace the gpu when I can get a 3070

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

like what if amd has a ton of stock

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

Just would also need a better power supply

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

people won't be willing to pay $1200 for a 3080 anymore

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

Shouldn’t run into bottlenecking with a tenth gen i7 and a 3070 right?

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

I got a 2070 super from evga b stock for $360 with associate code

#

so I don't need anything more

silent sandal Nov 4, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

Then you can still sell at regular price or just a bit higher

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

I have a friend who was going to get me an employee discount on a 10900k, but their supply shortages are so bad they can't even stock their employee store

#

rip intel

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

I mean 2070 would work for a while and then I’ll save up and buy a 3070 and better power supply when I can

#

I think that’s a good idea right?

hallow frigate Nov 4, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

no just get 6800

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

as long as you get a good deal on your 2070 you can probably resell it and get most your money back

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

It’s a prebuilt for $1200

#

With a 2070 and an i710700f

#

*2070 super

hallow frigate Nov 4, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

build your own for less 🙂

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

I guess then keep in mind oem graphics cards will usually sell for less when it's time to upgrade

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

I know but I mean it’ll probably be sold for at least $200-$300

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

Building your own is cheaper and you can update Easier

plush knot Nov 4, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

And then I just get a slightly better power supply with it and then bam I’ve only spent $1400 and I have an i710700f and a 3070

#

I think I have my solution

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

But if your not comfortable to do it go and by pre built s

hallow frigate Nov 4, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

who still wants intel when ryzen 5000 is coming out thurs

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

True

late pine Nov 4, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

ryzen 5000 kinda pricy tho

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

mikscool16 is the answer to that question

#

I have to advise against the 1200$ system

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Depends it may drop other price s

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Your 1200$ will take you much further after christmas

hallow frigate Nov 4, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

$1400 for a prebuilt and only getting 10700 is rip

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

Is a 2700x a good alternative to a ryzen 5 3600 for editing and recording games (terraria specifically)

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

Both are overkill for terraria

#

Depending what you use for editing you may opt for more cores

#

But the 3600 is a far better CPU overall

#

Just 2 cores less

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

Ram is also need for editing and recording

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

I'm planning on 16 gigs and making sure I can upgrade later on

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

I bought a 32GB steel viper kit for cheap

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

How cheap?

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

Ok 16 to 32 is better tho

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

It's only 3200mhz but dat capacity though

#

I think 170 CAD

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

If you can get 2x16 kit

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

I dont have a whole lot of budget room and I'm pretty sure that goes over my budget

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

What's the buget

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

~780

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Hm

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

USD?

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Do you have a list

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

I do

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

On pcpp

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

And yes USD

#

Not pcpp

#

Some app I found that uses amazon for prices

#

But I'm checking other websites ofc

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

Ok amazon not your best bet for cheep prices

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

3rd party that aggregates from multiple sources is best though

#

Just saying

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

Try pcpartpicker it checks compatible

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

I'll do that right now

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

32GB/64GB is probably best for video editing

#

Unless you want to edit 720p then 16GB should be fine

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

32 is a sort of min but you can do16 it will just take longer

modest ice Nov 4, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

32 I think will provide that "oomph" you're looking for in a new PC for video editing

#

Which application do you use?

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Davinci Resolve

#

I might go for a 7 2700 so I can get some more budget room for more ram

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

What kind storage you got

#

You may be able to shave by changing that

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

I've already shaved a lot with storage

#

Crucial p2 500 gb nvme drive is all I have

#

It looks like I can fit some more even with the 5 3600

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

Ok

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

I've got about 110 more than I thought I had thanks to pcpp

#

That's a lot

heady cliff Nov 4, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

Could you post the list

cursive quest Nov 4, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

Ye
