again, kept a look out almost everyday for 6 months xD
wa?? that's ascii codes. It's international haha
weird af
lol
i mean i finally got a 3060 but for 720€
3070*
reallyyy needed the PC man. Soft eng needs a CPU and my games need a GPU xD
ouff....kinda stings but convert to GBP, it's half of what people are selling them for rn
and I know in Cyprus they go for x1.5 that IIRC
yeah i saw so many in currys uk but after the import tax from brexit i would have been paying almost scalper prices
Brexit means Brexit
I tried to checkout in the page @pale fox sent and entered asdf@gmail.com as an email just to continue and it says it
it's already registered xDDDD
T_T
honestly...currys is the worst for PC parts. Full on advantage
yes
That's why I built my pc FULL 2nd hand
but for monitors its not bad
only thing I bought new is my PSU cause I don't wanna blow up 😄
well all i got in ireland lol
fairs, I got a sick deal on my main one 1080p yes...but 144Hz 27 inch Dell one. MSRP 220 pounds got it for 100 from this sweet lady who bought it for her son but he said he had a better one so he threw this one away
it literally has 3 years warranty left on it
noiceee
the smoothnesss 0
*0*
forgot I had to escape the stars...markdown and whatnot
lol
its calm
athlon 3000G, 1x8GB ?MHz RAM
ye
and no GPU currently?
well yh, vega graphics wil only take you so far
Won't a gpu boost it?
A lot xD
xD
you need a gpu to play games
cause rn ur CPU is rendering both the scenes and handling the logic
oh god, you know we fcked when CEX is kinda scalping
Lol
but you might wanna have a look there
yeah
GTX 1650 for £165.00.....yeesh
I can't really expect much from cex
isn't that overpriced?
well that's easy to figure out
you legit just measure it..ur case I mean
l, w, h of GPUs is public information
lemme search up how long I have to measure
It can fit in my pc
Also thanks for the help @deep salmon,@stiff kraken and @vast meadow
thanks!
I got a r5 1600 so I am assuming 3200mhz
Yeah 3600 is too much to ask from the 1000 and 2000 series
3200 then
Alright.
I plan to get a 5600x soon / in the future would 3600mhz work?
Yeah, just wait to do ram until the 5600x then
Also I want to know what I should upgrade next, I have a r5 1600, phantom d rx570 8gb, 550w, 16gb ram 2666mhz (I think),
Alright.
obviously the ram but besides that what should I upgrade in order?
ram -> psu -> gpu (imo)
Yeah that was my original plan I wasn't sure about the cpu / gpu tho bc ppl have said mixed things about what to upgrade first when it comes to those two
I think I'd be lucky to get my hands on a gpu (1080-3080)+ let alone for a close to "fair" price
yeah, gpus right now are so messed up that you should stick with the 570 until the prices are back to normal
yea
What mobo do you have btw?
strix b450f-II I believe
alr
Wait,
Also what cooler do you have?
In order to update bios I do what, and what will it reset, just my bios settings?
If stock I'd get a new one
I was going to get an aio in the future but I have the hyper evo 212
it gets fine temps for my cpu but idk how it would do with the 5600x
Just resets bios settings but you just download it put on usb, boot to bios do update thats it
oh
Not well
thats what I assumed
Aio overkill imo but 212 evo is pretty bad
You recommended me an id-cooling cpu cooler awhile ago would that be better than the vetroo>
?
Buy ID-COOLING SE-914-XT ARGB Cooler 131mm Height AM4 CPU Cooler Addressable RGB Light (5V 3-PIN Connector) on Fan and Top-Cover 4 Heatpipes CPU Air Cooler 92mm PWM Fan, Intel/AMD: CPU Cooling Fans - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
it wasn't this but it was close to this
SSE 224XT
ID-COOLING SE-224-XT RGB CPU Cooler AM4 CPU Cooler 12V 4PIN RGB Cooler 4 Heatpipes CPU Air Cooler 120mm PWM Fan, Intel/AMD
isn't this too?
Or gammaxx 400 if trying to save money
This one atleast*
Ah, yeah it is

Not sure on the price tho
about the same-ish
Ehhhh, for $40 go Vetroo
Ok
Gammaxx red is like 23$
40$›
Check newegg mb
This is an odd question, but is there a graphics card equivalent of Intel® UHD Graphics 620?
Im trying to see if a laptop could run human fall flat
smth close to GTX260 maybe, and also, the mininum spec for human fall flat, HD 7770, is quite a bit better than uhd620
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-260-vs-Intel-UHD-Graphics-620-vs-Radeon-HD-7770/17vs3805vs322
then igpus also need to take in ram performance, because that's igpu "vram"
so would you venture to say it wouldnt be able to handle it?
I say it wouldn't
anyone got recommendations in a b560 board that's more or less white?
ive been eyeing the b560a strix but like
jeez it's expensive
and out of stock
I'm looking at h510s
wish they were lower price but I just want something that will work with a 10100 if I upgrade
Can anyone recommend a couple boards for a 5600x that has wifi and bluetooth?
Msi pro vdh wifi
B550
do i have to reinstall windows if i upgrade my motherboard
You don't have to but you should
You can get a lot of slowdowns or errors if you don't
X570 Tomahawk
I was going to consider the tomahawk til I realized it's closer to 300 bucks nowadays
5600x doesn't need x570, B550 more than sufficient
yeah, but I just cant stand the fact that with a B550 you only get one PICE 4 M.2 slot.
Gen 4 drives are not needed for 95% of people
no difference in load times between those and gen 3
I know. but it still feels like a crutch
SO unless you're moving huge files all over the place it's a waste of money
like, why hobble yourself
Like, why blow money on useless stuff
for future stuff?
Get more ram with that money that's useful
Or a better GPU
or better PSU
Or monitor or something
For reference I'm just helping my brother build a pc he says he wants comparable or better than xbox/ps5 and "will last a few years"
Most of the gen 4 ssds are beaten by good gen 3 drives without nearly as much heat btw
Just make sure you get a decent cooler, stock wont let the cpu boost properly
Of course
What cooler you thinking?
Not entirely sure yet. If the hyper 212 is as terrible to install on AM4 as it was on 1150 I'd avoid that lol. Maybe one of the be quiet ones
Those or gammaxx 400 if on budget and scythe fuma 2 if you want a chonky cooler
I'd probably feel safer giving him an air cooled system for his first build
aios aren't much more complicated
They are more expensive tho
I know but still. One less mechanical thing to worry about failing
anyone know why pc apps crashes when i use 3600mhz speed of ram
i just set it to 3200 and now its fine
Are you changing the voltages and timing or just doing speed 3600
And what ram
no im just changing the speed in the bios
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB C18 1.35V this ram
Don't do that
Choose an xmp profile
Is it supposed to be 3600cl18?
tbh idk but i assume it is
If so just enable xmp(extreme memory profile) or docp if you have an asus motherboard
Don't just set the speed in bios
ok ill do that rn
opening chrome and valo into practice range and hasnt crashed so far like before
thanks
Your welcome
Pcie 4.0 drives are kinda sad when they're only good at seq and just average at rnd
Imo, not useful at all for 99.9% of people
can still arrive by today lmao
Thanks for the info. I honestly didn't know this
Hi, I have this motherboard (m5a99x evo r2.0, asus). I have rn 2 4gb sticks of ddr3 800mghz. So my question is, does upgrading ram speed make a big difference for game performance? Also I want to upgrade ram bc i keep running out, for example editing a video or even being on a discord call while having a few google tabs open makes me run out of ram. So what kind of ram is compatible, what speed is good? Thanks in advance, and if you reply pls @ me bc i won't see it otherwise.
is it ddr3 800 or 1600?
In video games RAM speed/amount (from what I have found) does not impact that much. HOWEVER I do video/photo editing/rendering and the difference is massive. I went from 2x8 GB 2666 MHZ to 4x16 (64gb) 3000mhz and rendering photos/videos takes significantly less time. Haven’t really seen a change in video game performance.
With that being said, ddr3 at 1600 mhz is slow for today’s standards, so if you upgraded that, you would see a difference. The maximum RAM speed for that motherboard is ddr3 1866MHz (also depends on CPU), so an upgrade from your current 1600mhz to 1866mhz would make a difference.
You mentioned 800mhz, is this the stock frequency? RAM speed is usually doubled, so for example if an app tells you the speed is 800mhz, double it to get your speed.
Also if you haven’t already, head into your bios and enable XMP profiling. This increases RAM speeds beyond stock frequencies.
Heres a good vid on the difference between the two https://youtu.be/xL1BEvk8UGA ( @prisma hill )
Skyrim - 1080p @ Ultra (16csaa / 8msaa)
Black Ops 2 - 1080p @ Ultra (4x msaa)

Hey guys this is the precursor to my beginners guide to overclocking your ram. Basically I was doing a lot of testing and the big thing to take out of it was that you shouldn't be using the auto settings in BIOS as they ...
I mean it def matters on amd and intel. Up to 10% performance difference in games, depending on some factors. 2666 vs 3200 on 10400 is the difference between slower than or faster than Ryzen 3600.
can i use acetone to remove thermal paste
Yes but i wouldn't recommend it since it can be really bad for plastic. if at all possible you want to use isopropyl alcohol since if you get it anywhere it will jsut evaporate
Use 91% isopropyl or something higher is what ive heard
Chances are if it's corrosive you don't want it anywhere near your PC
Hey have a Lenovo 20205looking to upgrade memory. Any suggestions on models?
I'd recommend checking out crucial's memory finder if you're just trying to figure out what's compatible
found it using that tool. Cheers for the Ref.
Yea no problem it's super nice for figuring out ram and drive expansion quickly for prebuilts and laptops
How’s the 5600x vs 3700x?
depends what you're doing for just gaming the 5600x strongly outclasses the 3700x for other multithreaded applications I would believe the 2 extra cores on the 3700x are a greater benefit over the per core performance
hey Ive had my Asus Rog Strix ryzen 5900hx with rtx 3060 for a week and i see that my CPU temps while playing games ranges from 89C- 96C as soon as i turn the game on. any suggestions?
what cooler are you using?
a downgrade in multi core performance for better single core but not worth the downgrade in multi for 300 the increase in single aint worth 300 and loosing multi core imo
on your laptop?
hx is laptop chip afaik
oh that makes way more sense I just assumed it was a typo tbh
possible but especially because they said asus rog strix in front
Jimmy try putting your laptop on a hard surface, ie not on your duvet or something, put it on a table
if the temps are still that high
try a laptop stand, this will require a external mouse and keyboard but it lets air get underneath the laptop
that and laptop thermals are just awful in general
yeah
my laptop now is always super hot with an i7-8850H and a P1000, but provided its propped up with additional fans beneath it not much I can do
Can remove bottom cover and add speed holes where the cooler sucks in air
You'll get more dust but better airflow
Yea I've also considered undervolting my laptop but don't really know what I'm doing so have avoided it
Most laptops don't let you do that anyway
I read online other people had done it with their Lenovo P1's but I also haven't messed with it too much
yea its a laptop
dont know its whatever came witht the laptop
that was from when i thought it was a desktop my b
Whatever happened to ECC ram? I haven’t heard talk of it for a while now
yea i use external mouse and lift the back for max air flow
in a drastic oversimplification intel segmented into only their xeon processors which kinda took it out of the consumer market, its being talked about again because some degree of error correction is being built into ddr5
ok
what temp should my cpu be running at if i just installed it?
dpends the cpu and cooler, what temperature are you getting?
in the bios is said 90C
what cpu and what cooler?
Not too sure but I think that’s a bit high
so I have heard about the 5800x running hot but not that hot, is the aio plugged into the right header and did you use thermal paste?
yes. its plugged into where i had it before and its cooler master masterliquid ml240r
phantom gaming
Yeah there's nothing you can really do then, i mean the only thing you could do would be but on balanced power plan if it's on high performance I'd guess
Remount it
its on norm,al performanve
did you put fresh thermal paste on it when you put it in?
yes fresh thermal paste
Ohh that's not a great cooler but you shouldn't be getting 90c there's an error there remount or apply more thermal paste I'd say
Can you hear the pump running?
thank you yea that's what I'm figuring I've been trying to find a answer for a few days now
What thermal paste are you using?
insignia
is there a gui thing for my cooler master any one kniw?
Ok. So I restarted and now it's sitting at 80
In bios
Wait no its climbing back up
Yes.
And it's not showing RPM in the BIOS?
No it says n/a
If it's not showing RPM in the BIOS, check to be sure you have all the pins lined up properly
Imma take it back apart and look at it
If the pins are proper, then the AIO is defective
Anyone have like a video how to install this thing?
Cuz apparantly the one I had was wrong
You peeled the plastic off the pump right?
Yes
Ok, seen it happen before
Tyzeb 7 1700x
Ryzen
Mobo us asus b450 rog strix
Update version 430q
4301
I did the update you told me to do
AH, I remember you now 🙂
Everything is plugged in correctly
Ok, you DO have an AIO pump header in the center of the board. I'd double check that connection for sure. How many wires are on the AIO pump wire? 2, 3, 4? If only 2 wires, you won't have RPM feedback anyway.
Also check to be sure the latches are seated correctly on the AM4 mount. They like to be finicky and make sure the thumb screws are tight.
Put more thermal past on?
That's not the issue with temps that high
Reason: Bad word usage
The wire that you're plugging into the AIO Pump header. How many individual wires are on the plug that goes into the motherboard?
Ya im trying to see which one gets plugged in there now
I'm guessing the other one comming from the pump
Yes
One of those comes directly from the part on the CPU
That one goes to the AIO_PUMP header
The one from the Fans goes to the CPU_FAN header
Okay so the two from the fans also go on the mobo?
Non3 of them go to thus control panel thing in the back?
Two from the fans?
Yes
Fans should go to a splitter cable
With a single cable end
There are two ends from the fan but one is RGB
The other is power
Find the one that looks like your picture
Connect it to CPU_FAN header up by the ram slots on the top of the board
THe other two cables are aRGB cables
And the cables are marked right?
Okay I've just unplugged it all cuz whew it was a mess
XD
SO those two in your hands look like power? They should go to a splitter cable that goes from 2 connections to 1 and then to the CPU_FAN header
part N
Thise from the fans
mmhmmm
Purple is power
SO the two POWER wires should go to CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT right next to each other
?
Please read text above your pic
Oh thanks
And then the rgbs go to the things in the back for led?
Yes. Then the things in the back go to the motherboard for LED control
For the power
And
So that thing in the back isn't necessary for use then
Thats dumb
Yeah its the one coming from the pump
That's the power for the pump
Yeah and only two wires I see
So no way to tell if the pump is working in the BIOS or not
Need 3 wires for that :/
Dang
I'll just know from the temp then
Ya
I found the splitters you were talking about
Didn't need them I don't think tho
Cus I just put the power next to eachother like you said
ya!
Sorry I'm slow
My 4 month old just screaming at me
And my girl making fun of me
Lol
Thanks for the help
You're welcome!
Understood on the interruptions, we all have lives and things to do
:/
Immediately went to 90
Pull the cooler pump off and send a pic, let's look at the thermal paste pattern and mounting pressure
Wait a sec
Before you do that
put your hand on the pump
is it buzzing?
Fans are at 2K RPM, that's good
Yes it's buzzing
That means the pump is most likely stuck
It shouldn't be buzzing or vibrating really, I just touched mine for comparison
I feel it slightly
I'll pull it off
I will say the aio pump on the mobo is 4 pins but the one comming from the pump is 3
Ya, jus tmake sure it aligns with the tab on the fan header
Question: my computer seems to shut off randomly. Had happened a few times now. I was just playing cod and it turned off. Turn it back on and nothing happens. But the dram light stays lit on the mobo. If I wait a bit the computer will come back on just like before. I don't know. Meh.
Reseat the ram, what ram? What cpu?
@elfin warren
So
53 degrees now
It was either that the pump was not seated correctly orrrrrrrrrr
I plugged the pump into a cpu fan and not the aio
Cuuz they was next to eachother
Ya I can see the rpms now
Thanks yall
Asus x570 mobo. Gskill ram. Ryzen 5 3600 . I did reseat them. Like a few weeks ago when it did this last? Could the ram itself be faulty maybe?
@elfin warren now hopefully my cpu won't hold back other stuff. Especially since I basically destroyed that last cpu cuz all this was wrong
Maybe but what speed is the ram rated for ? And where you using docp(xmp) or just setting the speed manually in bios
Well I used the profile in bios for the faster speed. I think the mobo defaults to 3200 and the ram is 3600? I need to double check the spec
Double check that
Check this out on @Newegg: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GVKC https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232907?Item=N82E16820232907&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-232-907-_-05202021
The ram will default to 2133 or 2666 but we'll see
This is the ram
You were using docp profile?
Yeah
Do you have it in the right slots?
Yeah. I mean I've been using it like this for almost a year
From cpu going right, empty, ram, empty, ram
Yep
Could the vibration of the stock fan for the ryzen be shaking it loose?
How would I check if it's running it properly or not
You could be unlucky and your cpu might not be able to do 3600
Poop. Ryzen 5 3600
Check this out on @Newegg: AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000031BOX Desktop Processor https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-3600/p/N82E16819113569?Item=N82E16819113569&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-19-113-569-_-05202021
I mean like it's crashing weird
I mean it's unlikely but it's a possibility
Crap it says ddr4 3200
Mine supports 3600 but idk
It says in the new egg details memory type
Not always accurate a lot of 3600s will support 3600mhz but it's not always a possibility you got unlucky
I mean then there's patriot with 3600mhz that they advertise as ryzen compatible and then say "oh well ryzen has issues with 3600mhz"
Don't think gskill is like that the they usually use samsung b die so
Dook. So will it default to 3200 then? The mobo profile is 3600. So I figured no issue. This was all compiled by people in the channel to make the build too
Do you have 2 docp profiles?
I'll check
🙄yea I made a poor choice in November when ballistix was out of stock at black friday and patriot sold 2x16gb of 3600mhz cl18 memory for $100 and didn't find out until like a month ago the memory wouldn't post at those speeds
Your motherboard will default to 2133 or 2666 if no docp profile is selected
Unlucky
Yea I've been yelling at their support team and they keep blaming it on amd
In the my computer details it says 3600 so everything is fine with it but the cpu is only utilizing 3200?
I'm about to do that I was out of town so I gave it a rest for a few days but yea I'm just going to tell them that. But I get the impression it's just their crappy ic's because no other brand says "ryzen struggles with 16gb dimms at 3600+MHz" I'm just pissed at them because I'm like well then why do you list them as Amd compatible if you know they don't work.
Yeah :/
So now I'm getting post failures apparently?
My other concern is I'll RMA them, the new kit still won't work and I'll have just been without a pc for a few weeks while rma'ing it. Granted this time I can keep the packaging in better shape if I get a new kit and if it doesn't work I'll just try to resell it to someone with an Intel system and buy ballistix
Do you have a 2nd docp profile?
Not that I see
Damm
Profile 1 and disabled
Try reseat ram if that doesn't work clear cmos @white plinth
Is there a way to find out what triggered the shut off before?
Download whocrashed
Oh I've done all of that they had me manually tune it and everything they decided the fact that it would post at 3600cl22 that was acceptable and only because of amd not the ic's.
OK goofling it
Was talking to the other guy lol
Woops wrong reply
Hit reply to me that's why I replied to you lol
Yea
Where's the cmos clear option lol
Yeah dis does that sometimes
You're good lol
Dw wasn't talking to you with that either
Lol
Just go into windows and download whocrashed
Yeah resplendence dot Com
There's so many of us he just can't keep up😂 granted I'm not really asking for advice as much as I'm complaining about Patriot
Ffs could this all be because the cpu or ram overheated? I only have a stock fan setup. Maybe I should consider an aio or more case fans. Will need to research that junk now. Already emailed gskill too... I mean warranty claim maybe
Nah stock is fine unless you mounted it janky
It doesn't give full performance but it wouldn't crash
@plush timber what does whocrashed say
Bug check description: This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval. This can be caused by non-responding hardware or by a overheated CPU (thermal issue).
The crash took place in a file system driver. Since there is no other responsible driver detected, this could be pointing to a malfunctioning drive or corrupted disk. It's suggested that you run CHKDSK.
typing chkdsk in command gives me that i dont have sufficient privileges lol
copy that
If that doesn't detect anything make sure your driver's are up to date
yeah i'll check device manager
SSD is clean. checkign hd
ty for your help
will work on it and see what happens
thanks. have a good night!
could also run through sfc and dism stuff
what is that?
General fix for random windows problems
From an admin command prompt or powershell, run:
sfc /scannow
If that doesn't work, try:
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealthThen, try running sfc again.
Repeat as necessary
i will ty. i don tthink i have admin for some reason. in command it said at least. i'll see. ty
can my 1600 af handle 3600 mhz ram
yo anyone knows the difference between the crosshair 8 hero and crosshair 8 dark hero?
yw
Both are extreme overclocking boards, if you're not sure of the differencesz chances are they're not for you and you should get a motherboard a good bit cheaper
Only difference I think is visual, Don’t get the crosshair VIII, this is coming from an owner of the Crosshair VIII. It’s completely overkill for anything other than extreme over clocking
Is the Core i5-10600K paired with a 1660 or 3060 good?
Yeah that’s fine
How much Watt should I get if I pair it with a 3060?
650w
Thx
Is the Corsair CXM 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply a good choice?
I think so. Corsair generally make good PSUs
Alr
Only on a z490 or z590 board if not get an i5 10400 or 11400 on a b560
Cxm is okay but not great
did you see HU B560 video?
Yeah
scary
how I understood it is that even without OC the mobos were throttling the chips
Yeah well it's intels spec vs over intels spec so
I would recommend phanteks amp, msi mpg or revolution df if you can afford a high quality one in your budget
so my friend's haveing trouble getting this to show up in task manager
basically he had 2x4
one was soldered one wasn't
so he took out the non-soldered one
its a laptop btw
and replaced it with this
and it wont show up
i think its an ideapad s340
do you have the second half of the model maybe on a sticker on the bottom like s340-"something else"
Also have you attempted reseating the memory?
Hey so since ripjaws are on sale I figured I'd ask is $188 for 2x16GB of 3600cl16 ballistix worth it over $165 on sale for 2x16GB of 3600CL18 Ripjaws. Since it's looking like I might just bight the bullet and sell this patriot kit to my buddy who's building an intel pc.
Is this the best bet right now for 16gb 3600mhz?
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232882?Item=N82E16820232882&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-20-232-882-_-05212021
Ya
if you want cl16 instead of 18 for $10 more is crucial but idk if that's worth it since that was pretty much my question above lol
Its getting paired with a 5600x
3600 C16 then
So you'd say for 2x16gb kits $188 of 3600cl16 is worth it over $165 for cl18 too then or just at the $10 difference?
Both ways
aight just wanted to double check lol
Looks like the 16gb crucial is same price amazon and microcenter so at least I can just get it when i go there
Any recommandations for 560M board? It’s for my i5-11400f
Asus tuf if you want WiFi but i think it's the cheapest b560 matx anyway so probs tuf wifi
Bet, it’s sad that there are no cheap whites 😦
did nzxt do a b560 mobo?
Actually I say that I think those were atx anyways
No
Afaik there's no white matx
Mb asus prime matx if there is but not really white
Also after hw unboxed vid idk if the prime off the top of my head has as good vrms and limits etc as tuf
And wifi no harm to have it can be handy for troubleshooting/if you wanna use bt headphones
there's some of asrock's boards with b560m steel legend and pro4/ac have white heatsinks at least that said I don't know anything about the quality of the boards
iirc asus makes nzxt boards
Asrock makes the b550, there's no b560 nzxt board
Before that they used espc or something
ah right asrock does
my bad
also people who need to access the bios regularly
asrock positively tortures those guys
Why lol?
worst bios
My bros hdv b560 is fine
for bios? or in general
bios
Ah ok I was about to say board wise I really like my msi b550 gaming edge wifi but I can see the argument on the bios being bad lol
Msi make nice boards
Asrock bios tends to be unintuitive and has lots of small problems
Yea Msi's just seemed to have a really weird layout and it was a pain finding the settings I needed
Higher end asrock boards are fine generally
That's why then, i watched der baurs n7 b550 board oc which is probs why
Yeah the cheap ones are cheap for a reason
I still didn't have any problems working around my bros hdv bios but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I honestly prefer the Asus bios to the gigabyte
Good ryzen cpu under 400?
- best buy price matched in store. was cheaper than buying it anywhere online, or at microcenter
Oh bruh
uh
Pato i mean
what
why ryzen?
Yeah that's a good choice
after tax i think it was $304
No
rip
Don't
I don't agree either
Neither does mr1111 or vintage
for what
i stopped looking at intel lol so idk
Ik
random bench for example, look where 11400 sits vs 3700x
But no offense i want to ask multiple people
does that chip have pcie 4 yet?
Youuuuuu diddddddd
Intel is better price /performance in the midrange now, and both are dead platforms so no upgrade worries
pretty sure 11400 stock being low is because it's stock and PL kinda sucks
like mobos w pcie 4 nvme support?
Pcie 4.0 doesn't matter but yes
mhm
Ehhh
helps a LOT
what do you use it for
P31 beats the samsung 980
And p31 is gen 3
Ohh well
but I mean
Unless you're constantly pegging a gen 4 nvme drive gen 4 isn't worth it
depending on what you're doing with it
p31? il check it out
100%
p31 beats 980 pro in rnd
Yeah it's by sk hynix
yea a lot of the gen 4 drives are essentially gen 3 with burst performance lol
I was about to add optane might makes more sense for battering things with read/write afaik
the random 4K r/w is a huge factor for my workflow
p31 might help there
il check it out
but it's not that much better
P31 100%
Ya
qd1 it's slightly better than like rocket 4 plus and sn850 for rnd read
P31 Gold out does quite a fe gen 4 drives
but for seq pcie 4.0 drives win
if you just need to get 90tb of data from one place to another
but that's also where optane might come in
true
i used to use a raid 5. rly fast
now one tiny nvme replaces a huge raid 5 system
raid 10 better
its so extremely worth it lol
Ok but i Just dont get how everyone sais amd is better and somehow that's not true
raid 10 vs raid 5 depends on workflow and ideal hardware setup etc
raid 5 was superior in speed for me
@vast meadow
Yes
I mean, raid 5 should just be better for more drives afaik
why is this so cheap?!? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DKB5LWY?tag=pcworld02-20&ascsubtag=US-001-3611375-000-000000-web-20&geniuslink=true whats going on here
raid 10 has the speed of raid 0 while having raid 1 parity iirc
?
On the high end it is, 450€ and above
yee
From a purely performance point of view, AMD wins. Intel can get nearly the same scores at $100 less.
this is interesting
Only on the high end, under 450€ intel wins
Not under 400€ they looking at buying the 3700x instead
oh yea forgot sn550 also great at rnd write, but yeye
980 pro is a bit better for qd1 random read
optane just chillin
wait lol what
the WD is very interesting
the other one
new one
sn550 is
Better than 750 most of time
unless you're talking about sn850?
yee
sn850 is the PCIe 4.0 drive
sn550 is the cheapo PCIe 3.0 drive
yes
lemme grab quick data on sn850
also out of curiosity how is optane like over twice the speed of p31 in a lot of things if the p31 saturates pcie gen 3x4?
isnt optane sitting in pcie 16x?
this does average sustained random read so this chart is different from the other one, but ye
p31 is still chillin
And why is everyone suddenky talking about ssds?
There's also no matter how much you saturate the bandwidth, rnd performance can still differ
wait guys i have a real smooth brain question
Totally forgot that there was a pcie x16 version I was thinking like little m.2's lol
hvnt thought about this
Cuz someone asked idk
there's also latency that comes into play and such
RAID 0 is a great way to lose data
No
XD
sure but thats fine
What you mean you don't want to risk losing literally everything over a single drive failure
because it doesnt matter
its all temp and working files
everything is already backed up in real time
well, it's an interesting thought
@sleek crag my guess is that the latency would be it's downfall
since they're separate drives
Yea it's raid 0 for 0 redundancy is how I remember lol
i should find a test to see random 4k r/w with a few SSDs
Exactly, it's fine if it's used properly
in raid 0
W8 i can buy the 5600
5600x is fine
If you're getting into raid then just raid the m.2 drives
true that would be ideal
M.2 is about the same price as sata now lol
i have probably 6x 1tb sata sdd doing nothing rn tho
and a hardware raid card
lsi card
Bad value the 11400 is so close and literally 120 less
And always available
5600x has supply issues not always in stock
If you just remove the power limits/depending on the mobo it will do for you
Yeah you only lose a few % in gaming between the 5600X and the 11400
Yea I went 5600x because I bought a mobo back in november lol
They live in Netherlands
AH
Also 5600x terrible value
agreed
5800X also terrible value
the value in 5600x is only if you already own a compatible motherboard
Yeah but at least it's a bit better
Not for $100 only getting +2 cores
idk id rather buy a 3600 or 3700 used or new and wait for a 5800 to be available. could be wrong tho but i do like the 5800 benchmarks from a few months ago for workstation work
Oh it's $150 now even
Nah 11400 slaps those sideways
Yeah i suppose, and 5900x only 100 more
can you link me to a test or benchmark
There is something called google
if hes citing a workstation benchmark then id rather not look around for something hes citing specifically
i go by Puget systems benchmarks
If you need the cores for work you want a 5900X
they are the most accurate for my work
That’s not my point
Ahem @sleek crag
My point is that you can search it yourself but nvm..
5900x has terrible value
il check it out again
Better value than 5800X
ya
agreed
Less cost per core
5900x has good value
You get 12 cores
You cant even get 12 cores on intel so
5800 slaps 3700 sideways did you not see the graph lol
No other desktop chip comes close to 5900X /5950X
Ryzen 7 1700 or Ryzen 5 2600
its so hard to find a 5800x tho man
No
where??
Unless used under extreme budget
It’s a question
@sleek crag
5800x at least in the US is constantly in stock and often goes on sale
2600 but unless you're getting them for 50 or less not worth i5 10400 would kick their asses
then i gave up looking too early
il check again thanks. i thought they were still impossible to get
I am just trying to ask what’s better but thanks xd
5800x stock is fine now
Nah cpu stock is starting to stabilize
I mean idk what stock looks like elsewhere but but in US it's widely available
Okay but you shouldn't buy either just an fyi
ffs thanks guys i gave up looking
For what?
I know but it’s for a little project and we need to find some good compatible cpu’s
Amazon.com: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor: Computers & Accessories
$418 RN now lol
the secret is never give up looking I just randomly looked at the 5600x for some random reason back in like early February and it was just randomly in stock lol.
Same goes for my 3070 just got lucky checking one day during class
Just like the shuffle. Only way to get it is persistence.
I think the funniest thing with the 5600x was I bought it and then popped over to pcmr discord and was like "hey idk if y'all know but 5600x is just in stock" and I got all sorts of "Yea it has been blah blah blah" and then like a week later it went back to being scarce lol
I think dood dipped to buy a CPU XD
Summary: While Intel’s per-core performance improvements do have noticeable impacts when compared to the 10th Gen, they still lag behind the Ryzen CPUs with the same core count or price. Only one Intel CPU managed to outperform an equal Ryzen CPU, but only in one specific test. Otherwise, AMD outperformed Intel across the board, often at a lower price point.
Unreal Engine is an application that will leverage as many CPU cores as you throw at it. As such, Intel only offers up to 8 cores, while Ryzen also has 12 and 16 core options that significantly outperform anything Intel has. The Z590 platform also has improvements over the Z490, such as PCIe Gen4, but again, those improvements are putting them on par with what AMD has been offering for a while.
Intel's new 11th Gen Core processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock), but with a drop in total core count on the high end. This makes it hard to estimate how each model will perform in the real world without application and workflow specific benchmarking and testing.
I mean you have amd motherboards already I would argue that's value enough to stay amd though unless you plan on getting new motherboards
11700k/11900k trash price perf not a bad cpu but trash because you still gotta pay the money for the dam thing
Ehh how so?
Summary: For CPU based rendering, the number of cores is the primary concern. Intel’s decision to cut two cores from the i9 11900K really hurt it with this generation. It barely manages to match the performance of the much less expensive AMD Ryzen 9 5800X. Only slightly more expensive than the 11900k is the 5900X which boasts 40% faster rendering performance.
The lower tier 11700K and 11600k do show significant performance improvements over the last generation but are just playing catchup with the similar offering from AMD. Then there is the upgrade path. If you did want to buy a workstation now, with the intent of upgrading the CPU later to improve rendering performance, Intel’s top offering barely matches the middle of the pack from AMD. When it comes to CPU rendering, AMD is the only clear choice.
11700k earned its "waste of sand" award, and 11900k is the child that should never have existed
I mean I would figure since he already owns an x570 board and a b450 that it's more money to buy new motherboards then are saved by opting for intel
Ohh i thought you meant theo the guy from Netherlands or just in general amd boards are better lol
Despite that, Intel still beats the 5800x at Cinebench R23
But for price of 11900k that's 5900x price
Yeah just realized that lol
which intel, at which price point, and in which mobo supporting pcie 4 nvme?
oh no lol, I was just saying in his case lol. Like my 5600x was better value for me because I already owned a b550 board before the 11th gen launch lol
basically
Not exactly fair comparison lol
no decent intel chips support pcie 4.0 afaik @sleek crag
Yeah lol
exactly
11900k loses to the 10900k in several workloads lol
wat
Nah it's dummy expensive for 8c
honestly this is the only source i really trust for workstation benchmarks
** Also, while not covered in this testing, the new motherboard chipset, Z590, also offers some nice features, such as PCIe Gen4. This puts Intel on par with what AMD’s Ryzen line has been offering. We will have a specific Z490 vs Z590 article up later once we have some time with the new motherboards. **
I would just say stick with amd since you already have an x570 board any savings from opting for intel are lost buying a new motherboard unless you already plan to buy a new motherboard
im staying with AMD for a long time.
I think things got very off track looking at the general case and not what you already owned lol
i honestly want to switch to amd gpu asap when theyre finally solid. but for workstation they are not optimized and not reliable
idk if there are any sub $100 but might be wrong There might be a b450 board but I wouldn't recommend a super low end mobo
Don't spend less than 100 on a mobo, don't buy a 5600x and get the 11400 and b560 instead
Ehh and probs no flashback lol
I mean if you're using an old enough cpu it doesn't matter
But they're getting 5600x over 11400 because "they can spend more"
5600x with B450?
I didn't see what cpu they said
Nah i recommend them for 11400 and b560 but they wanted ryzen and are now looking for a too cheap mobo 🤦
I was talking to them earlier
ah ok that makes way more sense
But that graph said it was better
🤦♂️
B450 steel legend for 80
No
But don't do that
You NEED a motherboard with bios flashback anyways but bad choice imo
What cooler would you even use if you cant afford a decent motherboard
Without bios flashback you can't use that board without getting an older cpu to update the bios
And if you plan on using a stock cooler on a 5600x don't
It will perform worse than an i5 11400 with a 30$ one
I can
Just dont know enough
100$ is not a decent money for a mobo
180 for a cooler wtf you smoking
For mobo
Depends on the model
60 or so for cooling
I meant a 30$ cooler
Atx
Oh
Mobos start at 100
ATX is a form factor
Ok
Its a size
180 for a mobo MSI b550 tomahawk is a pretty nice board I'm unsure if it's a decent value but it's a solid board if you're dead set on amd
Wait I come prepared
Nice name btw

There
Thanks
Look for the cheapest b550 rated with II on that list
I wouldve but itsa pain on mobile
Also brain no workey
Would just be easier to go intel but okay ;-;
???
The reason i want amd is bc the mobo will be more futureproof
NO IT WON'T
And 1152 mobos are expensive
Ryzen 5000 series is the last cpu any current amd mobo will support
I already told you
You mean 1200
Socket change for next gen
AM4 -> AM5
Both intel and amd current gen motherboards will not be compatible with any new cpus launched from this point on
Yea ryzen 5000 are the last cpu's that will use am4
How long until the Lunar Lake Cpu releases ?
Most likely September/october
I can't wait for them to release, that 5nm is going to be something for sure!
Alder Lake is slated for September October. Lunar Lake is 2023-2024
Ohh i don't keep up with the nick names lol just assumed they were talking bout 12th gen
Yeah it's kewl
They thinking far ahead
I'm surprised they even revealed the naming for 2 gens ahead
i dunno why they keep doing lakes, theres prolly some reason behind it
Gottta be but it's way more confusing than 11th gen 12th gen etc
Idk mb it's a marketing thing or an inside joke ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean that said amd does the same think with Vermeer and Mateese or however it's spelled you just only ever hear them by series or zen 1, 2, or 3 and such
Probably the first one started from someone's last name
I was thinking, How much of an Upgrade would it be if I went from Ryzen 5 3600 to a Lunar Lake Cpu, and when you said this September/October I went what!!1
Well usually people just ask bout next gen and the lake naming is hardly used
They should start naming after craters because that's where their market share went
Lol
Last ditch effort III
is there a specific ddr3 ram i should get? or is all ddr 3 the same size
is all desktop ram the same size for ddr3?
yes
aight any recommendations that are low budget? I just need more than my current 4gb to play MC
lemme check
use CPU-Z or HWiNFO to find the specifics
it says 1333 mhz, DIMM form factor
gonna need specifics to know what to get
ok
installer or portable, either is fine
aight
the installer is about to run
I can't provide a screenshot from my computer cus its on a computer without discord so ill take a pic with my phone
Bruh I cant
I'll PM you
yeah it has 2 spare
is there a way to overclock it or is that a bad idea
