Nope not free shipping

#

But about gaming i saw many videos i5-10400f vs i7-9700k in all games i7-9700k has more fps

Maybe a 5% difference, seriously not worth the extra money

10400 peobs using 2666 rm instead of 3200

barren ice Mar 17, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

Whichs better than i7-10700kf or i7-9700k

#

I7-10700kf is on 1000 qar in amazon its in offer

vast meadow Mar 17, 2021, 7:05 PM

#

10700kf is better than 9700k

#

Especially if same price

#

The f just means theres no integrated graphics

barren ice Mar 17, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

Aha which shall i get than i7-10700kf is more cheaper than 9700k

long geyser Mar 17, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

10400f+3060Ti > 9700k+3060 or 9700k+2060

#

you dont do rendering on the CPU for gaming

#

stop trying to spend so much on the CPU

I7 10700kf same performance as 10700k, f just means no integrated graphics

barren ice Mar 17, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

So shall i buy i7-10700kf than or this also no

vast meadow Mar 17, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

But 10400 would be better value for your use case but if you refuse to get i5 for some reason 10700k is better than 9700k

barren ice Mar 17, 2021, 7:12 PM

#

I will probably get i7-10700kf bcz its better than 9700k and i7-10700

#

I also have to change mobo for i7-10700kf

void jolt Mar 17, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

its not better than a 10700

#

they are the same

#

just no iGPU and no overclocking for 10700

otherwise, 10700kf and 10700 are same

are you getting a 3080?

#

if not, why are you trying to spend so much on the CPU?

#

before worrying over high end CPUs, worry about high end GPUs

#

this is a gaming build, so GPU > CPU

void jolt Mar 17, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

I keep saying

long geyser Mar 17, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

doesnt mean pair an i3 2120 with a 3090, but it does mean to not get a high end CPU with a now decent low end GPU

void jolt Mar 17, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

10400f and 3060ti or something

hollow thorn Mar 17, 2021, 7:33 PM

You know what they use for those videos? 3080's and 3090's.
You know what you won't be using?

:P

#

And also, I doubt there's any big differences even in those benches, 10% at best I'd say

long geyser Mar 17, 2021, 7:34 PM

hollow thorn Mar 17, 2021, 7:56 PM

Even same brand, different models is wacky

2x16 generally same price (used to be cheaper, now about same price) for more upgradability

I did ask earlier but didn't get an answer, so I'll try again lol. Ryzen 5900 vs 5950. I've read alot about the 5900 being better cause the the 5950 is harder to cool which makes the benchmarking of the 5900 better. Is this true? Anyone have experience with this? If I'm looking to get into game design, which one should I do?

#

I have a 5800 now

grizzled bloom Mar 17, 2021, 10:56 PM

#

If you're working with applications that will actually use the extra cores, 5950X is the option to go with. You will definitely need beefy liquid cooling, 360mm+ or a custom loop.
The 5900X does better in single core benchmarks, but not enough of a difference over the 5800X IMO.
It really comes down to what applications you'll be using for your game design.

5950x is spicy

why are intel mobo so much more expensive than amd

livid sparrow Mar 18, 2021, 10:15 PM

#

If you are buying a cpu before it is supposed to come out you are either getting it from a crummy business not following along with Intel, a stupid company that made a serious mistake or from a third party who is always going to charge you higher than the store and/or MSRP because the cpu isn't actually out yet

#

I dunno why you'd even want to buy it now before they get on the market unless you are a test-bencher or a no-name reviewer who hasn't signed an NDA, just doesn't make sense to fork over extra for scarcity when the scarcity will plummet when it actually releases

naive pendant Mar 18, 2021, 10:23 PM

Nothing you can do, capitalism. Nothing wrong or illegal about scalping gpu's, just morally unethical

If I'd make 10k a month, I'd drop the buck for double price, if I'd need it. It's mostly a matter of do I need it, can I afford it, do I care if I pay double price? Many* Other people lose money on gambling and many other worse things than overpriced cpus or gpus or cars.

#

My cousin has a gambling bar. You'd be amazed how much money are people willing to lose for nothing. Selling expensive watches or cell phones for 20% of the price because they want the cash at 1 am.

#

20% might be an exaggeration 😄

livid sparrow Mar 18, 2021, 11:20 PM

#

Or you'd just buy a cheap stop gap like an I3-10100f if you really needed to use a desktop in the span of 13 days and then spend a lot less once they actually released, though if you really had the money to drop on a likely shady unreleased cpu going for nearly 1k you'd probably also have a laptop of some sort that could get you by reasonably well

The embargo only applies to things gotten directly from Intel (or whatever other company) so if they can go into a store and buy it, embargo doesn't apply. That's why we had 11700k review so early.

Thank you both very much. At first I assumed it was the pwoer supply, but every once in a while I get an error message and it refers to memory, so I think that's my problem.

hollow thorn Mar 19, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

Also, keep in mind, ram isn't the only possible issue for crashes, there's some other possibilities. I can go find the commands in cmd for fixing windows corruption if you want to do that just in case.

viscid solar Mar 19, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

I need the ram anyway, but sure

#

just know I'm not a tech person at all

I'm pretty proud of myself for getting you the info I have!

viscid solar Mar 19, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

so it would just start doing this 2 years after purchase?

hollow thorn Mar 19, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

Sfc /scannow is fairly simple and fairly effective, dism adds on

#

Well, nothing is made to break after 2 years, but things can fail

viscid solar Mar 19, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

should I do this before or after the new ram? and do I need to format it or anything to make it work when it gets here?

hollow thorn Mar 19, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

Well, might as well do it now, since this is windows debugging that has to do with the windows files that are installed on the storage disk, and ram should be plug and play, but keep in mind, when you get new ram, the first time you boot it up, the motherboard might have to do some memory training, which will make the first boot take a while longer. @viscid solar

livid sparrow Oh, ASUS isn't even going to bother trying to fix my motherboard, they are just ...

That's how most RMA"s work

Par for the course

#

Cheaper to do that than fix a board

livid sparrow Mar 19, 2021, 3:23 PM

#

Oh. Okay then. I mean, I don't think they even bothered looking at the issue, I think they just focused on the damage and called it a day, but as long as I get a proper replacement I'm not going to complain

elfin warren Mar 19, 2021, 3:24 PM

That's kinda how it works

To be honest

livid sparrow Mar 19, 2021, 3:25 PM

if it's a buffed 5 3600 for the same bang for the buck then it should be one hell of a pc core

elfin warren Mar 19, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

I mean, the only reason AMD does non-X cpu's is to get rid of bad bins or bad silicon. With the shortage right now, I doubt that will happen anytime soon

void jolt Mar 19, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

wait

#

isnt the -x moniker for good silicon and non-x is for average silicon?

#

or is the non-x moniker for meh silicon?

elfin warren Mar 19, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

Just lower clocks

naive pendant Mar 19, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

i mean if the 5600x is the same value as the 3600x, the 5600 will be the better buy regardless of silicon quality

elfin warren Mar 19, 2021, 7:35 PM

Hopefully

viscid solar Mar 19, 2021, 8:46 PM

@hollow thorn @elfin warren Sadly, the PC is still randomly exiting applications even after the 2nd and 3rd scans came back ok, but when the RAM arrives maybe that will solve the problem.

what are relevant differences in the h570 and b560 chipset?

True

Yes, ram but not CPU

#

B will never have CPU overclock, otherwise no reason for Z to exist. intel always done that

pale mist Mar 20, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

You can technically jerry rig an OC

vast meadow Mar 20, 2021, 1:40 AM

H570 is actually a more expensive chipset according to intels site lol

pale mist Mar 20, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

But its not close to z anytime soon

eager shore Mar 20, 2021, 1:55 AM

livid sparrow Ram overclocking that is

don't they both oc ram?

ornate portal Mar 20, 2021, 2:42 AM

Hey guys, I'm new here. Didn't know newegg had such a massive discord community. So I recently bought these ram sticks:
https://www.newegg.ca/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232091?Item=N82E16820232091
After I installed them I started getting BSoD's, but only when straining the hardware with ram and cpu heavy games. I should add my motherboard is a predator g3-710 (u3e1). So I did a quick search and installed Speccy and me being not great at computer didn't really know what I was looking at. However I knew my RAM sticks I just bought are supposed to be operating at 3200mhz and on speccy it's telling me my DRAM frequency is 1064 which would suggest my RAM is clocking in around 2000mhz which brings me to my question. Are my new RAM sticks defective or is my motherboard too old to support the speed? Thanks for any answers.

limber dragon Mar 20, 2021, 2:43 AM

#

which slots on the motherboard did you put the memory sticks into?

ornate portal Mar 20, 2021, 2:44 AM

#

I pulled out the old ones and mimicked the placements

#

Not sure what they are called but its basically one in one empty one in one empty

limber dragon Mar 20, 2021, 2:48 AM

#

starting from the cpu and going to the 24 pin, you want it to be [cpu][empty slot][stick][empty slot][stick][24 pin]

#

then if that stops the BSODs, you want to go into bios and enable xmp

ornate portal Mar 20, 2021, 2:51 AM

#

Ok, what does xmp do?

#

I will definitely check if put them in right tomorrow

#

Thank you for that

limber dragon Mar 20, 2021, 2:51 AM

#

xmp is the 3200mhz memory, otherwise it runs at 2133

ornate portal Mar 20, 2021, 2:52 AM

#

Ohh ok cool

#

I was afraid my motherboard was locked to original hardware or something weird since I bought it assembled

limber dragon Mar 20, 2021, 2:53 AM

#

it might be, it might not be, just depends on how the manufacturer set the bios

ornate portal Mar 20, 2021, 2:54 AM

#

Alright thanks man I'll let you know if it works, thanks a bunch

limber dragon Mar 20, 2021, 2:55 AM

#

3070 and rx 580 8 gb

#

i installed drivers for both cards

void jolt Mar 20, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

Drivers don’t much like each other

Having them on the same system will mess with things

#

In bad ways

#

ok thanks

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

yes but i cant unlock it with out bios update

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

i understand but I don't think there are BIOS updates available for that board, being an OEM version. I'm still researching that

#

What BIOS version are you on right now?

#

I did find one on the Asrock website but it's version 4.2 dated 6/3/2020

#

Probably the original one for the board

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:46 AM

#

its the stock 0.01

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

There's a newer one on that page

#

https://download.asrock.com/BIOS/1151/Z370 IB-R(4.20)ROM.zip

#

NOt sure what it has in it though for changes

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

has a different name on motherboard

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

It's not this?

#

Ah, no M

#

Interesting indeed

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

has no m on it not sure if that matters

#

thats matx mothboard though

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

#

That's straight from their website

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

thats weird i thought only ones with m are matx

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

Normally yes

#

but IDK

#

That board is an odd duck

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

i just find it weird asrock carries no drivers

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

Well, it's an OEM board

#

I have a feeling it's a leftover from PC manufacturers that made their own drivers and such

#

There's the same issue with the Pro4 versions sold in CyberPower PC's and another brand

#

They're Asrock boards but Asrock doesn't provide the BIOS nor drivers for them

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

you think it would brick if i used pro4 drivers

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

There are physical differences in the board itself with the layout

#

Not sure I'd try because if it's the wrong BIOS it will brick it, if it even flashes at all

#

It may not flash if it's the wrong one

turbid monolith Mar 20, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

im not gonna risk it

#

z370m looks exactly like it though

#

i might use that bios

#

how do i flash a bios

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 5:21 AM

#

NOrmally you'd put the file on a thumb drive, restart the machine, enter the BIOS and there is an update option in the BIOS, usually under the TOOLS tab

its intel it doiesnt rely on ram speed as much as amd

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 3:16 PM

No, your board only supports 2666 which is relatively slow in todays terms

Lol why not just get a i5 10400f for cheaper and less bother lol

livid sparrow Mar 20, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

Because I already have an AMD board, or at least had one. I am waiting on ASUS to send my replacement. Plus I don't usually build with Intel

#

if you just want it for game, then a 10400f or a 3600 would work

Then a i7 10700 or i9 10850k

grim hornet Mar 20, 2021, 7:41 PM

So in your opinion intel is better than ryzen

vast meadow Mar 20, 2021, 7:42 PM

Then yes you can get i7 10700 varients for 300 ish, 10850k's for 300 in micro center if you live near one or around 300€ in Europe from most retailers

livid sparrow Mar 20, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

Or you could try hunting on ebay for a deal, but that has risk and uncertainty

grim hornet Mar 20, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

So 10850 x 3070 will perform the best

eager shore Mar 20, 2021, 7:44 PM

They're pretty much the same cpu but slightly

5900x is faster at both

livid sparrow Mar 20, 2021, 7:54 PM

grim hornet Which ryzen cpu competes with the 10850k

The thing is the 5900x which competes, is 2x the price for slightly better perf and 2 more cores

elfin warren Mar 20, 2021, 7:58 PM

+20% isn't exactly slightly lol

Not necessarily games but overall performance, yes

main pulsar my 10920x not too bad on power consumption

That's the tradeoff, true: anything short of a 9800x probably isn't worth it, and anything at or above that is around $500-ish and you're in 5800X territory apart from the motherboard part.

#

Not that I'd turn one down if the CPU Fairy left one under my pillow, but...

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:47 AM

Is the 5950 worth the extra $ over a 5900?

grizzled bloom Mar 21, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

For what usage? Gaming? Editing?

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

I want to get into Streaming, so ik I'll need some Video Editing power

#

Thats why I was leaning towards the 5950

grizzled bloom Mar 21, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

Streaming live is more of a GPU thing(nvidia encoder specifically), editing for youtube videos later is more CPU.

manic hull Mar 21, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

what are you going to edit, just gameplay?

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

To start with, probably

grizzled bloom Mar 21, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

Honestly it only makes a few seconds difference on many render tools from what I've seen

limber dragon Mar 21, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

streaming depends on what gpu you have

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

2080ti

limber dragon Mar 21, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

if you have nvidia, use nvec

#

if you have amd, get a good enough cpu to x264 encode

manic hull Mar 21, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

if just gameplay, a 5900x is fine and like Fal is saying you can use a Nvenc for streaming.

grizzled bloom Mar 21, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

Yeah so with that GPU the live streaming will use the GPU a lot more than CPU

#

And be a lot better quality

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

Quasi related note then

#

What about a Video Capture card?

manic hull Mar 21, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

if you have a 2080Ti its a waste, if you want to stream a console or something it is worth it though.

limber dragon Mar 21, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

dont need a capture card if you're on a single pc

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

Ohh

#

So if I want to stream my SwordNuzlock I'd need one

grizzled bloom Mar 21, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

A different option related to that though, is to use a second GPU and use it as a dedicated encoder

#

Yes if you want to stream from you Switch you can use a capture card

toxic skiff Mar 21, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

Oh ok

#

TLDR I should go with a 5900, and if I bumblefuck into some money later get a 5950

limber dragon Mar 21, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

grizzled bloom A different option related to that though, is to use a second GPU and use it as ...

no, if they already have a 2080ti, a "dedicated encoding gpu" as a second gpu is a waste

https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16813119352?Description=z390&cm_re=z390-_-13-119-352-_-Product @barren ice this motherboard is $150 canadian but probably around $130 to $149 american check the price from your currency

#

but i would still go with the a-pro

barren ice Mar 21, 2021, 8:08 AM

#

Wait i will check

#

Ok i will go for pro just tell me whats the difference that pro dont have

hollow kraken Mar 21, 2021, 8:13 AM

#

well the a-pro is better than this one

#

but this motherboard has an extra m.2 slot

#

but less sata connectors for sata ssd's and hard drives

#

and i think less fan headers

#

so the z390-a pro is the best option

barren ice Mar 21, 2021, 8:16 AM

#

Ok

hollow kraken Mar 21, 2021, 8:17 AM

#

#

but i have some custom build orders to work on so bye

Question 🙋🏽‍♂️ I’ve been told 3600 mhz cl16 is the sweet spot for Ryzen 3000 series. Will I miss out on a lot going for 3200 mhz cl18? I’m mainly gonna be playing games, and do Audio Production.

#

I’m on a budget as well just wondering if it’s worth going for the 3600mhz cl16?

elfin warren Mar 21, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

5-10 FPS in some tests on some games

#

Generally 3600 C16 can be found for about the same price

#

MAYBE $10 difference

#

Unless in the UK or Canada

naive pendant Mar 21, 2021, 6:17 PM

Im Canada 🥲

Its so expensive here, it hurts
