cpus-mobo-and-memory

[torn idol]

yeahp

[burnt spear]

If you already have it sure, but you shouldn't buy a 3600 anymore i5s are better price/performance

[grizzled bloom]

They already have it, yeah

[sour musk]

Could I put a ryzen 7 3700x in an Asus tuf b450m-plus gaming motherboard or will the vrms be too hot?

[burnt spear]

I'd guess you're fine with how little power it uses but id wait for someone else to respond

[sour musk]

ok

[vernal cosmos]

Its fine

[cyan raft]

It’s fine but why are you buying a 3700x?

[burnt spear]

I've seen a lot for 200-230$, i think thats a decent price for it compared to other cpus currently

[cyan raft]

An 11600K is about $250 for a lot better single core and the same multicore

[burnt spear]

That's if you can find it at msrp

[cyan raft]

Microcenter is selling it for msrp, Newegg sells it for $280 I think

[burnt spear]

A while ago I was debating getting a 3700x just bc I have a b550, wouldn't need to buy the mobo

Still debating trading my 3600+cash for one or buying one and selling mine

Ik its more so a side grade but the cores would help for streaming

[pastel lion]

looking at getting a 10900KF, is it worth it?

[hollow thorn]

For doing what?

[torn idol]

I’ll give you Amazon gift cards🥺😏😩

[burnt spear]

Wait whats up?

I'm confused

[torn idol]

h said ur selling ur 3600

[burnt spear]

I said I'm thinking about it :p

If I did id need to find a 3700x first

[torn idol]

o

wait a 3600x will fit in a msi b550-a-pro mobo right?

gen 3

[burnt spear]

Yeah

[torn idol]

k

[vast meadow]

It's fine but you shouldn't be buying 3700x or b450 boards in 2021

[vast meadow]

11600k is always msrp for like 165 or something

[vast meadow]

Not really, you have an Nvidia gpu so you can use nvenc and don't need the extra corss

[burnt spear]

when i stream and play games like warzone and other cod titles i hit max cpu usage before gpu usage

[vast meadow]

Yes but you shouldn't buy a 3000 series ryzen cpu in 2021

[vast meadow]

Are you sure you have it set to nvenc encoder and not the default cpu encoder

[burnt spear]

yeah

streamlabs sets it to auto force gpu as render device

[vast meadow]

Interesting didn't realize cod was so cpu intensive

[torn idol]

well then will the ryzen 5 5600x fit?

[vast meadow]

Yes

[torn idol]

will I need a bios update if it’s a gen 3?

[vast meadow]

Possibly it's a 50/50, your board has bios flashback tho so you can update bios without needing a previous gen cpu

[torn idol]

ok h

[torn idol]

do I just have to hit the flash button I recommend

[vast meadow]

If it doesn't boot you will have to yes

@torn idol this is how you do it for your board btw

[torn idol]

thanks

[vast meadow]

Np

[torn idol]

should I stay at the r5 or try to find a ryzen 9?

[vast meadow]

For what use? Also the r7 5800x is a nice option for mid high end

[torn idol]

ok

[vast meadow]

But if just gaming 5600x will do you fine, imo get the 5800x if fits in budget

[torn idol]

that correct

[vast meadow]

Yup

[torn idol]

i wanna game stream and make content

[vast meadow]

@torn idol https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazon/qtvqqs it's actually 13$ cheaper on Amazon btw

[vast meadow]

What graphics card do you have/aim to have

[torn idol]

current is a gtx 980 ti and Idk when I’ll upgrade

[vast meadow]

You can probs just use nvenc encoder on your nvidia gpu then

[torn idol]

what’s that

[vast meadow]

Its an encoder that uses the gpu instead of cpu encoding for streaming/recording

[torn idol]

o will I b ok wit streaming with a 980?

[vast meadow]

980 ti? Yeah still a decent enough card

[torn idol]

ok thx

[vast meadow]

[torn idol]

what about if I get a ryzen 9 3900x and won’t have to upgrade for awhile

[cursive epoch]

3900x is slower than 5800x

[torn idol]

o ok

[vast meadow]

^

[torn idol]

How was the slower result isn’t it like a higher card?

cpu*

[vast meadow]

5800x will last 3 -5years at least depending on how you use pc, 5900x will potentially last longer for you

[vast meadow]

More cores just slower

[torn idol]

o

so ig I’ll stick with the 5800x

how do I not get my cpu to die again tho?

[vast meadow]

Ehh dont force it into the socket

[cursive epoch]

^

[vast meadow]

And don't run it without a cooler

Lol

[torn idol]

I don’t

[cursive epoch]

Make sure you lift the socket lever too before putting it in

[torn idol]

I know

[cursive epoch]

Yeah, then do like what pato said

Just plop it in without much force

[torn idol]

should I use Dr. Walters?

Stock thermal paste

[cursive epoch]

Stock paste should be fine with the cooler it comes with

[torn idol]

ok

When should I re-thermal paste?

[cursive epoch]

Hm, well

Probably a few years

Unless the cooler gets dirty before that mark

[torn idol]

But what if it’s overheating?

[cursive epoch]

Yeah that's usually when you need to repaste

[torn idol]

okay

Because my last CPU with stock thermal paste I was averaging 60°

and ppl say the 5800 does as soon as they get it so it’s bad from what tiktokers say

[vast meadow]

4-5 years

[vast meadow]

It is a hot chip but all you need is a decent cooler, scythe fuma 2 for air cooling, arctic liquid freezer ii/ek rgb/lian li Galahad for aio(water cooling)

[torn idol]

so I shouldn’t play until I have an a I L

aio

Because I’m looking to get the Linley galahad

lian li

[torn idol]

^

[vast meadow]

Well it doesn't come with a stock cooler but you don't need an aio, a scythe fuma 2 would do perfectly too

[torn idol]

Is that cheaper

[vast meadow]

Yes 60$

[torn idol]

k

But what day I’ll work to

the aio

[vast meadow]

What?

[torn idol]

Would the Aio. Work perfectly fine

[vast meadow]

Yes bit better than the scythe fuma 2, but if going aio, get a 280mm or 360mm, 240mm aint enough really,

[torn idol]

ok

Should I get the scythe funa or the aio. To start out

[torn idol]

^

[vast meadow]

If you want an aio, just get the aio, buying twice is always more expensive than buying more upfront

[torn idol]

k so I can’t play with it until I get the aio correct

[vast meadow]

You need a cooler yes, i mean the galahad is 90$ more and if you're build has a 5800x it's either a trivial amount or you should not buy it and get the scythe fuma 2 if going for a completely form over function build

[torn idol]

k

[torn idol]

How old are you can screw it in does it come in pieces that I had to put it together?

[vast meadow]

The scythe fuma 2 will be a metal heatsink that you will have to screw in then attach the fans, aios, you'll have to screw the fans into the radiator and mount the radiator and screw it onto the board

[torn idol]

Does the scytge fuma to have a manual that I can follow to put it together?

[vast meadow]

All coolers will have a manual with step by step instructions

[torn idol]

OK so there’s no way I can possibly screw it up correct LOL

[vast meadow]

If you follow the manual you'll be fine ye

[finite elm]

@vast meadow if you had a GIGABYTE Z590 UD AC and enough spare components to run it that wouldn't cause an issue and all you needed was a CPU to get it running what would you do with it? 🤔

[vast meadow]

11600k in it idk what you would use it for tho lol

[finite elm]

That's what I was thinking

I wish I had younger cousins

Maybe I'll give it to the neighbors kid or something.

[vast meadow]

Very kind of you

[vast meadow]

You could always flip the build

[finite elm]

Eh, my cable management isn't attractive enough for that. But maybe

Was thinking I'd just have the pieces and have someone have the opportunity to teach their kid. With the help of YouTube tutorials

[vast meadow]

That's fair

[vast meadow]

Tbh cable management just has to look good from the front tbh

[finite elm]

Ye mine looks good from no side

[vast meadow]

Lol

[finite elm]

Mine were fairly hastily built though. So I'll probably take my time with my new workstation when i get home

[vast meadow]

It doesn't take too much work to get the front looking good, can be super easy in a good case for it

[torn idol]

hey when I get the ryzen 7 5800x should I use my amd ryzen 5 3600 cooler? Instead of buying them both at once

[grizzled bloom]

The stock cooler from the 3600? No, that isn't nearly sufficient for a 5800X.

[torn idol]

okay so I’ll buy the scythe fuma 2

[grizzled bloom]

That'll do it for sure

[torn idol]

but on Amazon it says it’s for intel

nvm

it’s for both

[grizzled bloom]

Amazon isn't always accurate

[torn idol]

where should I get it from then

Newegg?

[grizzled bloom]

Newegg has much better specs when you're looking for compatibility, speed, etc.
You can buy off Amazon, just don't trust the description.

[vast meadow]

that would be a nono

[torn idol]

okay

[vast meadow]

whichever has it for cheaper/ you prefer to buy from

[torn idol]

?

[vast meadow]

thats it ye

[torn idol]

ok what r u using?

for ur cpu

[grizzled bloom]

The fans are adjustable so they don't touch your memory

[torn idol]

@vast meadow

[vast meadow]

my cpu is a ryzen 5 3600

[grizzled bloom]

I've got a 240mm AIO on my 5800X

[torn idol]

what do u use

[vast meadow]

i use an id cooling se 224 xt but thats not enough for a 5800x

[torn idol]

im looking at the lian li galahad

What’s a good email but for a decently cheap price?

[grizzled bloom]

That's one of the top 3 we recommend

[vast meadow]

good email? aio??

[torn idol]

yes I mean aio

[grizzled bloom]

The others are arctic liquid freezer 2 and ek-aio

[torn idol]

is that good?

[grizzled bloom]

Those are the top 3

[torn idol]

o

cheaper than the galahad

[vast meadow]

the best aios are arctic, then ek and lian li galahad

in order

only reason to go galahad is for white/rgb

[torn idol]

dat looks so sexy

[grizzled bloom]

Honestly though, mine is a cheap $70 unit and apparently I'm like #7 on the extreme overclockers website for liquid cooling

Yeah liquid freezer is very nice

[torn idol]

would my white case look good with that(
C

?*

[grizzled bloom]

240mm is enough unless you want to do major overclock

[torn idol]

ion no how to overclock lmao

[grizzled bloom]

Go 240 and save some money then

What case?

[torn idol]

okay but I wanted a 360 to mont it on the front

4000d airflow

[grizzled bloom]

Yeah it'll be nice in there

[torn idol]

What a I o

?

[grizzled bloom]

You can do 360 but keep in mind it's overkill

[torn idol]

ok

[grizzled bloom]

The arctic

[torn idol]

no rgb or rgb?

[torn idol]

^ bc rn my total for the two comes in around $503.98 without tax

so should I go no rgb?

[grizzled bloom]

That's up to you

[vast meadow]

I would do 280mm if you are gonna go the non rgb version

And you don't wanna get a 360*

[torn idol]

ok

so a 240 rgb version?

it’s 105

[vast meadow]

Should do decently

[torn idol]

Or should I just get 280 rgb

[vast meadow]

Idk if there is a 280 rgb

[torn idol]

their isn’t

ima jus go with the 240 is the 240 MM still good

[vast meadow]

Didn't think so

Will do okay

[torn idol]

so should I go 360 or is ok in ur terms good lol

[vast meadow]

It depends tbh

If you're gonna mess around with pbo i would go 360mm but i want my cpu to be as cool as possible

240mm will do especially if you don't touch pbo

[torn idol]

what is pbo

[vast meadow]

Precision boost overdrive, it's kinda like an auto overclock

[torn idol]

o I’ll get the 249 for starter and if it’s not performing how I want it to I’ll get a 360 and when I put the aio in will I need to re thermal paste

[grizzled bloom]

Arctic has good paste, no need to change it

[cyan raft]

Arctic AIOs come with a small tube of MX5

[cyan raft]

As long as it’s desktop ram and ddr3 you’ll be fine

[scenic iris]

Aight thanks man

Is there anything else when installing other than installing the ram sticks and booting it up?

10 buck difference

doesn't make a huge gaming performance difference but still

@echo dome https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/y4TPxr/be-quiet-pure-power-11-700-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-bn295 this is the cheapest i would go, but i would really spend the extra 5€ for the rmx https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/2HbwrH/corsair-rmx-2018-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020178-na

[tardy meteor]

Have you guys seen the leaks of Intel 12 gen?

they have support for DDR5 which is nice

the spec has a max frequency of 6400 MT/s

[cursive epoch]

Everyone basically knows of that at this point :p

[vernal cosmos]

As of now

[grizzled bloom]

There's also supposedly low end boards that still use DDR4

[split copper]

Inb4 DDR4 and DDR5 slots on the same board

[rocky beacon]

I wonder if companies will be doing that again

[grizzled bloom]

I hope not, that was awful

I wonder if my next platform upgrade will be amd or Intel? Impossible to tell right now because that's at least 2-3 gens away but still fun to ponder.

[burnt spear]

I'm waiting for 2nd gen ddr5 atleast to upgrade

When ryzen 7000 series comes out is around the time I'll be wanting to

Idk if itll be ryzen or intel but around that time

[grizzled bloom]

Both platforms are taking brand new approaches to architecture. Intel has had several leaks that look accurate and they definitely are still competing. There's a few engineering samples floating around, but those aren't final specs and only engineers currently have the needed motherboards and memory.

Why get an aio with a 3600?

[torn idol]

so I don’t average. 60° with it again

[burnt spear]

60 is great Temps wdym

[torn idol]

no it’s not

[burnt spear]

Mine hits up to 80 while gaming and streaming 60 is perfectly fine

[torn idol]

o o Kay

[burnt spear]

Anything under 90 is fine

[torn idol]

I thought. That’s why my motherboard died on me LOL

[burnt spear]

Lol that I can't help with idk why it'd die

[torn idol]

with the gtx 980 ti do I plug it into the gpu or the plugs on mobo

I got a new one lmao

it was a trashy mobo tho, the asus rog b450-f gaming

[burnt spear]

Wdym?

[torn idol]

a d port

cable

[rocky beacon]

Display port?

You plug your monitor into the GPU

[torn idol]

yes but I can’t find a display on my b550-a-pro

[rocky beacon]

What do you mean?

[torn idol]

okay

[rocky beacon]

plug it into your GPU

[torn idol]

is their supposed to be a white light on my motherboard

[rocky beacon]

Yeah

Debug LEDs

[torn idol]

okay

[vast meadow]

60c is great temps

[vast meadow]

Not a trashy mobo either lol

@torn idol if you were plugging into your old motherboards display port and not the gpus display port, your motherboard was not dead at all.....

[torn idol]

oh okay

well then

that’s good bc I still got a new but better one

ppl say it’s trash tho

[vast meadow]

Not really sidegrade really

[vast meadow]

No there's just no point buying a b450 in 2021 when b550 is sameish price

[torn idol]

I got one before 50 last year

[vast meadow]

Yeah then it was a very nice choice lol

B450 rog f was decent

[torn idol]

i got the b550-a-pro just rn

[vast meadow]

Ehh i mean no need for a 3600 tbh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spiral fulcrum]

what's b550 gaming edge wifi's max. fan pins current and wattage

couldnt find this basic info anywhere

[hollow thorn]

@spiral fulcrum

[spiral fulcrum]

hmm 1A

not sure if this can hold 3 fans

I mean with my calculations they shall do it

but do they deliver the full 1A

fans will be SilverStone SST-AB120R-ARGB

[torn idol]

please help me I just got on my pc and when I exist bios it goes right back to bios idk what to do

[spiral fulcrum]

is your boot drive visible

in bios

[torn idol]

wdym by boot drive

[torn idol]

?

[torn idol]

do I want to enter flash mode

[spiral fulcrum]

boot drive

means

the drive you installed windows on

[torn idol]

oh idk where I would see it at

this is my screen

[spiral fulcrum]

wait you probably didnt install windows

is this a new build

[torn idol]

no I just added a new mobo new ram new power supply and new gpu

so hdd and ssd are the only old

[spiral fulcrum]

oh

ok

so

hover over the first one

what does it say

[torn idol]

uefi hard disk

[torn idol]

What does that mean?

[spiral fulcrum]

hmm so it doesnt see the disk

[torn idol]

so what do I do

[spiral fulcrum]

actually go to there

storage

whats there

@torn idol

[torn idol]

it’s loading

[vast meadow]

If you're unsure just get a sata powered fan hub

[torn idol]

@spiral fulcrum

[spiral fulcrum]

that beats the whole purpose of a PWM fan

[torn idol]

help me plz idk what to do

[vast meadow]

No lol, it plugs into your board just is powered by sata so you can still use pwm

[vast meadow]

What you tryna do

[spiral fulcrum]

I want to have 3 separate controls for bottom and exhaust, radiator and top

[spiral fulcrum]

hmm

[vast meadow]

How many fan headers do you have tho?

[spiral fulcrum]

6

[torn idol]

when I open my pc all it does is go to bios and when I exit it brings me back to bios

[spiral fulcrum]

but I have 9 fans to connect

actually 7 headers

one pump fan too

[vast meadow]

That should be plenty then

[vast meadow]

Have you installed windows?

[spiral fulcrum]

its an upgrade

they had windows installed

[torn idol]

yes but I have a lot new parts

[spiral fulcrum]

one sec brb

[torn idol]

@vast meadow

theirs also a white light on my mob

wait never mind I just had to spam delete when I restarted my pc now I’m re installing windows

which one do I install

and does all my stuff get deleted?

[spiral fulcrum]

yes

if you don't want your stuff deleted

then dont reinstall windows

you can keep files etc too but it just doesnt make sense to reinstall windows then

[vast meadow]

Set the windows partition on your ssd as primary boot device in bios

[torn idol]

how do I do that?

[spiral fulcrum]

it shall automatically search for available boot devices tho

[torn idol]

how where do I go lmao

[vast meadow]

I the bios under boot order

[torn idol]

it doesn’t say anything for ssd

[vast meadow]

It did, you showed it in a picture

[torn idol]

boot priority?

[vast meadow]

This one

Ye

[torn idol]

i cant click anything on it tho

It’s just their

[torn idol]

should I go into flash mode or what

[vast meadow]

go into the advanced mode it will probs be easier

[torn idol]

okay

[torn idol]

what do I do when I’m in it

[vast meadow]

look for something along the lines of boot priority

[torn idol]

what does bootup numlock state mean and it says on off

what do I click

[vast meadow]

Just if num lock is on ob boot I'd say

[torn idol]

ob?

[torn idol]

^ wdym?

[torn idol]

@vast meadow what does this mean

[vast meadow]

youre installing windows?

[torn idol]

wdym

[rocky beacon]

[torn idol]

well ik but will I lose all my old stuff

[rocky beacon]

Depends on what you chose in the installer

[torn idol]

what should I have chose

[vast meadow]

Yeah cuz you are reinstalling windows

[torn idol]

i have a 1tb ssd and a 4tb hdd

[rocky beacon]

Whatever you wanted

[torn idol]

i did hdd

[vast meadow]

Unless you clicked keep my files

4 tarabyte hard drive

o damn

well idc

[rocky beacon]

You would want your boot drive to be the SSD so its faster

[torn idol]

how do I change it

[rocky beacon]

Trust me you would care if you realized how faster it was

Run the Windows installer again and pick your SSD

[torn idol]

So re install windows?!

again?

[vast meadow]

Use the hdd for mass storage

[torn idol]

ok

[torn idol]

how do I go back and re install windows then?

[vast meadow]

cancel it or wait for windows to install then go back and reinstall windows

[torn idol]

how do I go back and re install it tho, where do I go to do it?

@vast meadow

[vast meadow]

gotta wait it out or yank the usb out or something if there is no cancel button

[torn idol]

it’s already done installing tho?

[vast meadow]

then just reinstall it onto your ssd instead

[torn idol]

ok where do I go to start it again

and I’m pretty sure I lost everything but can’t I just re install everything?

[vast meadow]

yeah

[torn idol]

okay

[vast meadow]

just any personal files you didnt have backed up are gone

[torn idol]

oh okay

[vast meadow]

just go in the same way as you installed windows last time

[torn idol]

oh google?

and then do I plug the ssd back in

usb I mean

[vast meadow]

huh?

boot back to the usb with windows installer on it

and go through the install process again

[torn idol]

what’s windows installer?

hey @vast meadow can I download it on the same pc and plug it in again after it’s done?

[vast meadow]

Just reuse the exact same usb you used to install windows on your hdd

[torn idol]

ok

[torn idol]

Do I ever unplug it for my PC when it’s done or do I keep it in all the time

[vast meadow]

Once it's installed you can do whatever you want with the usb

[torn idol]

when I plug the old one in it does nothing

[vast meadow]

You need to boot to it?

[torn idol]

wym boot it?

[vast meadow]

Like you just did installing it on your hdd

Uhh idk how to explain boot more

Like launch

[torn idol]

so restart my pc with it in?

[torn idol]

^?

[vast meadow]

Well you need to restart but have it as your primary boot device

[torn idol]

in bios?

[vast meadow]

Yes

[torn idol]

it won’t let me go to bios

wdym when the ssd is faster, like for games or what?

or just booting up

[vast meadow]

Mash delete/f2 or boot into windows then shift click restart advanced, troubleshooting, boot to uefi

[vast meadow]

Like anything that requires loading in windows will be faster, so start up, logging in etc etc

[torn idol]

o not games tho?

[vast meadow]

Game loading times loading into worlds etc downloading/updating games if you have them on the ssd

[torn idol]

o

idk where I even p it the thing lol

[vast meadow]

Huh?

[torn idol]

the fd

[vast meadow]

The fd?

[torn idol]

flash drive with windows on it

idk where I set it down

[vast meadow]

Ohh

[torn idol]

it won’t even let me hit the windows button

[vast meadow]

Uhh try turn off pc and back on or logging in if you haven't yet

[torn idol]

wdym click shift

shift click bc

@vast meadow I’m in bios now what do I do?

[vast meadow]

Ye

[torn idol]

yeah what’s that mean

[vast meadow]

Change boot priority to the the usb being first

[vast meadow]

Press shift and click at the same time

[torn idol]

are installing windows rn hopefully it works lol then just gotta re download everything

@vast meadow which is my ssd?

[vast meadow]

First get rid of all the partitions, then whichever one is the same size as your ssd

[torn idol]

what do u mean get rid of

and idk which one is tho

[vast meadow]

Well delete the partitions

[torn idol]

what if I delete my ssd

and are those things that I showed u the partitions?

[vast meadow]

And you'll see which one is which once you do that, for example if drive 1 is 500gb and your ssd is 500gb then your ssd is drive 1

[torn idol]

I’m pretty sure my ssd is 1tb but I forgot that’s the thing

[vast meadow]

It wouldn't actually delete your ssd, just delete all but one partition but deleting them all would be best iirc

[vast meadow]

Remember your hdd size either?

[torn idol]

4tb for that one but theirs no 4 rn on here

[vast meadow]

That's why i told you to delete the partitions

So there will just be 1 for ssd, 1 for hdd

[torn idol]

my ssd is 1tb

but which is which lmao how do ik what is my hdd for 4tb and my ssd for 1tb

[vast meadow]

It says the amount of storage right beside the names

[torn idol]

half of them say windows can’t be installed in it tho

do I delete those ones?

[vast meadow]

Just format/delete as many as possible

Delete everything that has partition beside it

[torn idol]

so like partition 1

[vast meadow]

Ye

[torn idol]

gotcha

and nothing else?

[vast meadow]

Just do that first

[torn idol]

I only have three left

their

which one is my ssd

[vast meadow]

Drive 1

[torn idol]

the 931.5?

[vast meadow]

Ye

[torn idol]

oh I love u so much

thx tho now I just have to fr install everything?

[vast meadow]

Ye

Np

[torn idol]

kk

[torn idol]

it’s making me install it again?

[vast meadow]

Ye

Onto your ssd this time tho

[torn idol]

oh gotcha will it make me do a 3 time after?

[vast meadow]

What?

Just gotta install it once

[torn idol]

it keeps on cycling over it’s making me install it for a third time

idk

it’s made me do it twice now

[teal surge]

I have a phanteks fan/rbg hub (the one that came with their 360 elite) and the cables meant to connect to the mobo are each "missiing a pin". The 4pin connector is formatted like a 4 pin but only has three functioning pin slots (four holes, 3 connected) Im assuming it is leaving out the power pin becuase the cable is dessigned to link the controller to the mobo not power anything. Do I plug it to the regular 4pin fan slot on mobo, or is their something special? I can dm pics if that is any help. Just want to make sure i dont break anything when i power it on

[torn idol]

do I have to restart for it to go away

[hollow thorn]

@teal surge take a picture and just send it here

Because argb is supposed to be 3 pin, if it's argb

[teal surge]

It’s a fan connector connecting fan hub to mobo

Fan hub has separate power connection so I’m assuming the pin left out is power

Argb has the same "problem" so im assuming its normal, but I just want to check so i dont mess up my first build

[limber dragon]

yeah, that's power, not sure why its missing

or is that the one from the hub, to the mobo?

[hollow thorn]

it would make sense

since pinout would be gnd - 12v - tach - pwm

and the 12v is missing

[limber dragon]

if its going to the hub, its common to just have tach and pwm, since the hub gets power from sata/molex

[teal surge]

yes, its going from hub to mobo

thanks for the help

[limber dragon]

yeah its fine, just weird that they have ground going to mobo too, but it wont do anything

[gentle acorn]

Yeah supposedly they actually faked a lot of their benchmarks so shouldnt really trust them

[naive pendant]

I dunno about that but it's just really inaccurate

[vernal cosmos]

No faking

They just pull bench numbers outta their ass because their testing methods are very very inaccurate

[dense frost]

They assign importance to things in a very biased manner. For example they rate clock speed above everything else. So an older processor doing 5ghz with 2 cores will be marked better than a new 8 core processor clocked at 4ghz

[naive pendant]

good matx mobo upgrade from gaming plus b450m?

do i even need to upgrade?

also, because the 3300x, 1600 AF, and 2600/2600x, are all simular prices rn (3300x usually 30-40$ more) which one would be best to get?

[hollow thorn]

3300x whenever possible

[naive pendant]

i plan to do alot of compiling on linux for my own distro,

is the 3300x, having fewer cores,. still going to be faster/close in speed/ suitable for this?

as far as i understood compilation is helped by more cores

@hollow thorn

[hollow thorn]

Depends afaik, but third gen gains and 3300x being single ccx will likely allow it to pull ahead. TPU testing on visual studio for example @naive pendant

[naive pendant]

oh wow yeah even in that it pulls ahead

thanks

[amber minnow]

100x has better cpu per single core power but doesnt overclock as much as intel i heard if my knowledge is accurate

intel has better bottleneck percentages but its really unimportant of only a 2% or 3

they took out the integrated graphics ini there non vpro series

vpro isnt really needed unless your wanting a fast remote access to your pc

i test a link

11700k is 25025

[vast meadow]

Not really, Ryzen manual oc isn't as good as intel comparatively because of precision boost overdrive being really good, especially for single core workloads

[naive pendant]

i alr have a am4 motherboard

i am open to a motherboard upgrade however

isnt the intel upgrade path worse by a lot comparatively to amd

and what cpu is in the 150$ range for intel

im an AMD fan tbf, i dont look at intel often

p sure amd works better with linux in most cases aswell

[vast meadow]

Meh they're either or, you said earlier you have a b450, better upgrade path, no point buying twice too

[naive pendant]

so dont upgrade mobo, and stick with amd

is what im hearing?

[vast meadow]

Yeah sure you would have to spend min 100$ on a mobo

[naive pendant]

ik

is it worth it tho

what do i get other than pcie gen 4, possible oob ryzen x 5xxx compat, and better vrms

[vast meadow]

You won't get better vrms on a 100$ mobo, spend that money on a better cpu instead, gen 4 is a waste of your time and effort atm anyway

[naive pendant]

keeping mobo then

and just going 3300x

[vast meadow]

Depends on your budget for cpu what you should buy, if you're going to pay 150 which you said +100 for potential intel mobo, don't pay that amount for a 3300x like

[finite elm]

I'd like to get 64gbs of ram for my workstation. Should I get a 2x32 or 4x16? And then what's the max i should pay?

[dense frost]

2*32

[finite elm]

Any specific reason?

[dense frost]

if in the future you want to add more, you have space

[vast meadow]

You can add more, usually cheaper

[amber minnow]

vrms active or passive. Power stages varies by motherboard model

14+2 stage or 16 full stage well varies by design of manufacuture

yeah i guess same stage exept models are a bit different sata 6 versus 8 and so on mobo features

cheaper mobo have 12+4 power stages. for cpu handling versus the 14+2 I guess for Oclocking headroom

and asrock is a true 16 stage er um something

designs different

taichi for instance

semi passive fan and 14 Power Phase design

cpu power full 16-phase memory power 2-phase

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asrock-b550-taichi/

motherboards are usually 14+2 not 16

active chipset though i bele

its not a sure shot buy

[naive pendant]

ok but, my point is, and im not trying to be rude, sorry if i am, but, these ebay listings are auctions, which may be a low price at one point, but within a very short span of time can quickly go much higher than that price, no?

No auctions on there

Just buying

[naive pendant]

can a 3700x be had for under/around 200

[burnt spear]

Around yes

I've only seen one go for 190

Almost all of them are around 220

3600 140-160

5600x 250 min

2700x might be a decent one to look at I've seen them go as low as 120 on there

[vernal cosmos]

meh single core

[burnt spear]

Single core will still be better than 3000g (I think) and they're doing a lot of cpu intensive things

Well wait

How's the multi core against 3600?

[vast meadow]

Well if you wanted it for more than 200 you would just get retail lol

[vast meadow]

I stg intel gonna advertise 16 core i9 because 8 big 8 little

[dense frost]

oooh, player 3 has entered the game

[naive pendant]

true lol

[vernal cosmos]

14 core i7 actually a thing 12th gen btw

[burnt spear]

Yeah if you can find a 2700x that cheap I'd say go for that, otherwise 3600 around 140 would be better

[vernal cosmos]

confirmed news

[vast meadow]

Ik that's what i talking bout

[burnt spear]

3700x for the 80$ price jump imo isn't worth it

[vast meadow]

Over a 2700x yeah

100%

[burnt spear]

No over the 3600

[dense frost]

I do hope that Intel does well with 12gen, so that Ryzen 5000 prices drop

[vernal cosmos]

2700x meh single core. 3700x not meh single core

[burnt spear]

Keep in mind they're using multi core too

Also 3700x single is basically the same as 3600

Single*

[vast meadow]

Only 50ish more but it is for their use case, compiling likes cores iirc

[burnt spear]

Not multi sorry

[vernal cosmos]

its obvious 8 faster cores gonna perform better than 8 meh cores but ok

[burnt spear]

I was talking about vs the 3600

[naive pendant]

yeah it does

[dense frost]

look, for the dudes budget, its between a 3600 and a 2700x , for mutli core use

[burnt spear]

2700x I think beats 3600 barely for multi core but don't quote me on that

But 3600 is much better single core

[naive pendant]

yeah no isnt it not recommended ot get the 2700 over the 3600 generally

[burnt spear]

So I'd say go for 2700x if you find it sub 120$, otherwise go for a 140$ 3600

Thats just my opinion though, pato is more experienced than me

Victor prolly too

even if compiling??

[burnt spear]

Yeah

idk why i remember 5xxx not being that big a difference

yeah, cos the gaines in compiling are marginal for the older chip, but the gains everywhere else for the 5600 are substantial

[dense frost]

they trade blows on some tasks

[burnt spear]

Ah

[naive pendant]

what is considered

"considerably cheaper"

between the two

[burnt spear]

I've seen 5600x as low as 240

3700x typically around 220

[dense frost]

blender for example, MC, 3700 is ahead

[naive pendant]

also i see 5800x's for the same price as the 5600

[burnt spear]

Not really

I mostly see 5800x around 350

(Ahem should've been the msrp)

[burnt spear]

That's an auction

Not a sold listing

[naive pendant]

im aware

[burnt spear]

Check sold listings to see prices for them

That's like looking at the msrp of cards to judge the price of them currently

Can't hurt to bid on it

[naive pendant]

uhh

[burnt spear]

Read descriptions.

First one is box only

Second is a pulled listing

Third is a broken one

Fourth is pulled

[naive pendant]

i mean, bent pins is easily fixed most of the time

[burnt spear]

I guess you were right though

Around 5600x msrp some of the time

But most are up around 350

[naive pendant]

sigh

cpu moment

too complicated boutta return to monkey

[burnt spear]

Return to monkeee

[naive pendant]

now idk what to go for

i was p set and stone on 3300x lol

id have to get a new mobo for like

future compatabiliy with 5xxx though, right

[burnt spear]

What mobo you have?

[naive pendant]

like ik u can upgrade the bios NOW

b450m gaming plus

[burnt spear]

Oh you can run 5000 with that

Bios update yeah

Sorry not update

Flash the bios*

I got two hours of sleep last night im too tired for this lmao

[finite elm]

Lol take a nap

[vast meadow]

6c6t ;-;

[finite elm]

If you can get it super cheap it's not TERRIBLE if you are only gaming 😬

[vast meadow]

5600x same multi as 3700x and 5600x better single so 5600x

[finite elm]

Gaming on a single display with no other apps in the background lol

[naive pendant]

idk what to buy now

im speaking on money i may never have

[vast meadow]

Mmmm i suppose, but i would prefer an i3 10100 or 3100/3300x

[dense frost]

for your money right now, get a 2700x or a 3600

[naive pendant]

i dont rlly see my self having 300$ to spend

unless i sell my soul

[dense frost]

2700x or 3600. Both will fit well into your current mobo, and will be a massive improvement over your current chip

[finite elm]

If you can get a 3300x lol they are never in stock

[naive pendant]

why wouldnt i just save for a 5600 tho

how much is a 3600 again

140 right

nvm lmao

double

[finite elm]

What's your current budget?

And your current CPU?

[naive pendant]

3000g, i didnt see myself spending more than 200$

[finite elm]

3500x and 3300x have roughly the same game performance. So the 2 cores make up for the 2 extra threads and higher clock speeds the 3300x has evenly

3200g or 3400g?

[dense frost]

3600/2700x

literally nothing wrong with those chips
