im building my pc in few days still dont have psu i have 3700x and 2070 s should i get 650w or 750w

teal creek Jul 15, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

650 should be enough

novel flax Jul 15, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

@scenic lance 650w is fine, 750w if u wanna upgrade in the future

loud brook Jul 15, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

i mean 650w is fine

#

and i doubt u would need a 750w psu in the future

novel flax Jul 15, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

U never know @loud brook, when the time comes to upgrade, if u spend 5 extra $ now, save 100 in the futute

loud brook Jul 15, 2020, 1:23 PM

i mean parts would become more power efficient

not power hungry

Hey what are the bronze,silver and gold rating on psu for

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

power efficiency

golden kestrel Jul 15, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

A gold rating doesn't mean its good tho

dry raft Jul 15, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Golds the best i guess?

golden kestrel Jul 15, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Platinum is best iirc

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

it has better power efficiency, but that doesnt mean its a better psu in general

dry raft Jul 15, 2020, 7:41 PM

well thank you

golden kestrel Jul 15, 2020, 7:41 PM

Np

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 7:41 PM

basically, if you care about power efficiency, you want a titanium psu

otherwise, it really doesnt matter

Is there a video out there on how to do a case swap

eager monolith Jul 15, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

It's pretty simple, you can just look at a build guide for each case and do the one you are disassembling in reverse order 🙂

#

I'm sure there are, but like I doubt there is one single video for your two cases

Looking For Assistance I bought a Phanteks P350X Case but the wiring from it is 3 pin (male) but my motherboard is 4 pin (male). The motherboard is a Tomahawk B450 Max and these two items are supposed to be compatible via mystic light. Anyones help in finding an adapter would be greatly appreciated!

eager monolith Jul 15, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

You can probably make one if you for sure don't have the header

#

You just need: pinouts, wire, and the heads with pins for each

cerulean shell Jul 15, 2020, 9:02 PM

I have no clue how to do that, ive never put a pc together but i built mine from bottom up with no instructions tho

faint rampart Jul 15, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

the newegg psu calculator recommended 406W so im thinking of getting a 450W? Is that a good amount? If so are there any 45W PSUs you can recommend?

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

what cpu and gpu?

faint rampart Jul 15, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

ryzen 7 3800x and RTX 2070

#

@surreal magnet ^

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

3800x peak power consumption is 130w

#

2070 peak power consumption is 230w

#

the rest of your system will use like 40 more watts on the 12v rail

#

so i would say 500w minimum

faint rampart Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

really?! Ok

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

500-650 is fine, just depends on whatever is cheaper

faint rampart Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

so dont follow the newegg psu calculator?

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

how much are you looking to spend on a psu?

faint rampart Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

100 max

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

psu calcs are mediocre, you get better results doing your own reasearch

#

what does it mean modular though? @surreal magnet

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

modular power supplies have removable cables

faint rampart Jul 15, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

what cables would be?

surreal magnet Jul 15, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

like sata and molex cables

EVGA BR 450's are actually solid sub-500W ones

B tier on the LTT list

so if you don't need anything beefier, that's usually the one i recommend

surreal magnet Jul 16, 2020, 12:07 AM

that and the Corsair CV are both cheap low wattage psus

that arent bombs lmao

i mean what's ur budget for a case

fossil cairn Jul 16, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

Guys so I was in the newegg system builder and I selected NZXT 500 elite as my case the problem is when u go to choose my psu it says that there is no compatible options I deselected mono, CPU storage etc until all I had was the case I tried to choose a psu but again no compatible options does this mean that no psu here are compatible or is this just a glitch?

light wyvern Jul 16, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

glitch

#

no worries any size up to satx should fit so thats most power supplies except for mining i belive

#

@fossil cairn

fossil cairn Jul 16, 2020, 2:28 AM

So anything psu that will fit up to an atx will fit this case right?

elfin trout Jul 17, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

If your case supports it

#

There should be a pcie bracket in the vertical position

#

And usually that's all that holds it up, sometimes a thing to prevent sag but that's about it

750w should be enough

elfin trout Jul 17, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

@vernal flax the 12pin thing is just a rumor right now, and most mainstream PSUs have 6+2 power connectors so you should be able to combine 2x6 for 12pin.

vernal flax Jul 17, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

I read that those wont work and that nvidia is possibly gonna ship a adapter with the cards. idk

lofty pewter Jul 18, 2020, 7:43 AM

#

@elfin trout @vernal flax new ATX standards take so many years to flesh out, it's hard to believe that absolutely no rumors or "beta" PSUs have come out with the new connector yet. The rumor kinda smells like bull 💩

#

As Nvidia would more then likely wait until the standard is properly out

vernal flax Jul 18, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Well there's articles confirming it now so

vocal talon Jul 18, 2020, 3:32 PM

#


In addition, there was talk of a 12-pin adapter included with the Founders Edition, which should allow the connection of two 8-pin EPS cables. That again was the reason for the excitement among the power supply manufacturers, because the EPS is actually used for the CPU supply, is currently available twice at the most and is also mostly already fully used. Thus the reported connection would not make sense at all, if new power supply standards would not be introduced.``` we dont know everything until it launches

round pike Jul 18, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Also there was something that was pointed out on the wan show last night that the whole thing could be faked

#

It might also only be used for quadros and teslas

lofty pewter Jul 18, 2020, 6:39 PM

quadros/teslas might makes sense for that. But not mainstream

Question. I am at a crossroads here. My friend is building a new PC and asking for advice. We're hung up on three potential cases those being: Rosewill Specta C100-A, NZXT H510B-W1, and Thermaltake V200.

At first we were going to go with the NZXT, but we're worried about potential Thermal Problems due to only two 120mm vents for case fans.

#

What is the better case?

golden kestrel Jul 19, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

They only one with decent airflow would be the rosewill imo

scenic lance Jul 19, 2020, 4:55 PM

@golden kestrel would you recommend other cases?

golden kestrel Jul 19, 2020, 5:00 PM

My go to is the td500 mesh from cooler master @scenic lance

Comes with 3 argb fans too

alternatively there would be the h500 from coolermaster aswell

Good value

chrome iris Jul 20, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

kolton (in this server) literally bought this for his Ryzen 2700 + RTX 2060 build. It's gotta be a bad PSU right? All i can find on it is it's list of protections and nothing else. Can't find a real review or anything. https://www.gamdias.com/component/index.php/en/psu-power/astrape-m1-650w

"astrape" what a weird name

#

sounds very wrong

golden kestrel Jul 20, 2020, 1:47 AM

Non modular and rgb

chrome iris Jul 20, 2020, 1:47 AM

and 1yr warranty

golden kestrel Jul 20, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

Interesting

chrome iris Jul 20, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

even the N1 has a 2yr warranty

willow hollow Jul 20, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

hmm

#

that or tt smart :)?

chrome iris Jul 20, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

TT smart

#

TT smart pretty bad but not as bad as this i think

lofty pewter Jul 20, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

same tier as TT Smart tho

#

12v rail has dumb voltage regulation... 11.09v on crossload 12. That's a new low I've seen so far

#

rest of voltage regulation is pretty poor, but at least within ATX standards

#

ooo, 650w has worse CL12 voltage regulation, 11.061v. Nice

#

voltage ripple isnt too bad

#

70% load is like 1650RPM for fan or smth, 100% load is 1950RPM, no mention of noise I could find but feel like it'd be decently loud at and beyond 70% load

chrome iris Jul 20, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Wait @lofty pewter the Gamdias PSU is tier D?

lofty pewter Jul 20, 2020, 2:33 AM

yeah i got lazy with it

#

i have nother 2 weeks till i build

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has purchased the LIAN LI LANCOOL II WHITE Tempered Glass ATX Case -White Color -LANCOOL II -Way? I would like to purchase it but the problem is I don't know if the version on newegg.ca has all the optional components? I did not see an option to add those at checkout!

golden kestrel Jul 20, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

Like the actual components that they show in the case?

#

Because you can't just buy those lol. Its just an example of what you could buy and build in the case

I mean I guess. It was a while ago that JonnyGuru told me this over on Tom's Hardware

#

so I may not be remmebering correctly

thoughts on the Deepcool Matrexx 50? was looking at the Cougar MX330 but apparently it won't support the cooler I'm thinking about picking up

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

Airflow

#

I can't breathe in a glass box and neither can a PC

#

What cooler were you looking at?

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

the arctic freezer 50 TR, threadripper cooler lol

#

which is a beefy boi

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

ThinkingEgg

#

the 50 TR or 33 TR or what

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

50 TR

#

which is 165mm tall, and apparently too tall for the cougar case

#

so i was looking at other mid tower cases that might have enough clearance

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

mmmm what's the clearance for cougar?

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

155

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

ah gotcha

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

i'm on the fence about a switch to threadripper, so i'm just looking at how much it would cost to pick up the few items i'd need to make it happen

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

for EATX mobo or...?

#

What threadripper

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

1920x

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

for what? gaming?

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

and looking at the asrock phantom gaming 6

#

50/50 gaming and running VM's

#

i'm getting back into some self-learning courses, both for myself and for work stuff

#

and i've also really just wanted to run a TR system for a while

#

and first gen is 'cheap'

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

Well those TRs are kinda bad value iirc

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

i know the 1900x is, at 8c/16t

#

the 1920 is 12/24

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

How much is 1920X again? $300?

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

i'm seeing them for like 200-240ish on ebay

#

new is closer to 300

#

but i'm fine with used

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

are you gonna get new or used

#

Oh used

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

motherboard is used as well

#

and $180

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

Well, I think for extra gaming performance, you could get 3800X or 3900X and a motherboard for cheap. But in workstation loads 1920X takes the lead

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

yeah, that's the thing, i'm still gonna be gaming on it, but i'm trying to have some better workstation capability compared to my r5 2600

#

trying to rebuild my hacker brain and also work towards a devops role at work, so being able to do both would be nice

#

i also multi-task a lot on my machine

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Well TR isn't necessarily bad for gaming, but you can do better

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

yeah, i'm only doing 1080p gaming anyway though

#

on cheap 60hz monitors

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

oh

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

so as long as i can still maintain that

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

so

#

Yeah you'll be fine with 1920x

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

trying to keep everything to around $400 total, between motherboard/cpu/cooler/case

#

i can transfer everything else over

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

and don't get Matrexx 50. Airflow doesn't look the worst but it's not the greatest and wouldn't want a 180w TR in a glass box :P

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

roger that

#

my local shop has fractal focus G cases in stock i think

#

was looking at those as well

#

i think those are the micro atx cases

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

No ATX pretty sure

#

Focus G mini is micro

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

oh wait that's right, derp, the asrock board is full atx so yeah

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

ATX or EATX?

clear swallow Jul 21, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

i think just atx

chrome iris Jul 21, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

Tehn Focus g will work. Better than Matrexx 55 i think

@limpid meadow ew, get a ryzen chip

#

Lmao 😂 I’ve already got the i5

novel flax Jul 22, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

fff

#

why would you get an intel chip for that?

#

the only reason you'd get an intel chip is if you have a specific task or you have, at the very least, a 2500% budget

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

I found the i5 cheaper than the Ryzen equivalent

novel flax Jul 22, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

which i5 is it

#

oh

#

9600k?

#

do u have a cooler?

#

@limpid meadow

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:30 PM

It’s a i5-9600k

#

And I’ve got a cooler

what cooler

#

also what mobo

#

@limpid meadow

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

The mobo is a Asus prime z390-a atx

#

And the cooler is a cooler master hyper t2

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

@limpid meadow do you want to overclock this chip?

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

I’m kinda new to the whole pc builds I’ve only ever built two in the past but with other people, this is my first pc on my own so I don’t really know what overlocking means

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

Oh I’m gonna assume no then :p

#

Overclocking is when you basically shove more power into a CPU to get it to perform better

#

In your build I think a good 500-550w will be enough

#

Cooler master MWE, Corsair CX. In the pins of this channel there’s a power supply tier list. Look on there to find a power supply. Shoot for tier B+ or better.

#

@limpid meadow

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

Thanks @chrome iris I was looking at a cooler master gold 750w

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

Yeah. That much power is unneeded unless you wanna upgrade to 3080 TI or something :P

#

And something you should know:
Efficiency rating, like bronze or gold, doesn’t determine the quality of a power supply

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

Ahhh yeah some of my friends were telling me to go even higher with 850w

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

Tsk tsk

#

Well I mean it’s a common mistake

#

Thinking you need a super high wattage

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

@chrome iris so the 750w is too much I should just stick to a 500 or 650 than

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

I mean it’s not too much but it’s unneeded. Highest I’d go is 650w to “future proof.” Anything above is a waste of money imo unless you’re planning on getting a 3080 ti and a 10900k :P

#

@limpid meadow

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Maybe in the future but at that point I should build a new pc

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Yeah probably. Since you’d need to upgrade motherboard as well

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Yeah I really appreciate the help, anyone you recommend specifically @chrome iris

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Model > brand

#

Brands make some good, and some trash models

#

Look in the pins for the PSU tier list again. Shoot for B+ or better

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

bruh i had a 550w thought it was good

#

then i got a gtx 980 ti

#

getting 750w is not a bad decision

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

650w should power 980 ti or even 2080 ti fine

#

@limpid meadow

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

lol 980 ti consumes similar power to the 2080ti

#

its very fun

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Would a 750w be overlocking the cpu?

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Even a 600w would give you a lot of headroom to overclock the CPU

#

But if you overclock you need a good motherboard and cooler as well. Hyper 212 won’t cut it for overclocking

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

Got you

#

Any cooler you recommend thank

#

Is the overlocking you do something manually or something that just happens because of the psu @chrome iris

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

manually

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

Yeah you gotta do it manually @limpid meadow

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

If I do overlock what’s a good cpu cooler

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

Cooler. Hyper 212 is fine for no overclocking, but with overclocking you’re gonna want something a lot beefier. A good water cooler or good air cooler. Off the top of my head some good air coolers are Scythe Fuma 2 or Noctua NH-D15

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

me who got 4.7 ghz stable on my 4690k with hyper 212 evo

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

Whaaaaaat

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

One last question would you recommend overlocking?

#

@chrome iris @willow hollow

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

I usually don’t overclock. Too much work. For your build it isn’t needed. But you can. You might get a couple more FPS if you do

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

i mean you have a k cpu

#

i say go

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

That’s true

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

you spent all that money better use it lol

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

But he’s also new to building PCs

#

And overclocking requires a lot of messing around with voltages. He might not feel comfortable doing it

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

I mean I’ve two in the past but not on my own it was part of club at my college

#

And now I’m making the switch from ps4 to pc

chrome iris Jul 22, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Oh? You’ve overclocked in the past?

#

CPU or GPU overclock?

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

i think he means builds

#

but cpu oc's aren't too hard

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

I havent done anything stress test wise

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

lots of tutorials on yt

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

I’ve only built the pc and turned it on to test of it worked after that the person who we built it for took it home

willow hollow Jul 22, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

look up overclocking tutorials for your specific mobo/cpu

limpid meadow Jul 22, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

Ok thanks a lot

i've mentioned it in a couple other channels, but i'm on the fence about a switch to threadripper, and my current desktop is on a 650W PSU, from what i can tell it sounds like i'll be fine if i switch to a first gen TR, but i just want to get a second opinion. will 650 be enough?

#

if i have to get another PSU, i might scrap the entire idea, because instead of a core system swap, it's getting to be a full rebuild

@clear swallow if you don’t have a super power hungry GPU 650w is fine

right now i have this weird dell oem rx580, which is pretty good about power

Unless CPU is like 350w

blissful ruin Jul 23, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

anyone off the top of their head that can point out the differences between the Phanteks p600s and the p500a? it says they're built on the same chassis, but what does that mean otherwise? obviously i see the biggest difference is the mesh front compared to the removable panel

sly bobcat Jul 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

the top and front of the case change a little its mostly exterior molding changes (top and front). the tooling otherwise is identical meaning the frame and most major assemblies are the same ... every case company really uses this technique cause the tooling for a single case is often well over 200,000 dollars then revisions to that tooling in the design phase + designers time + tooling repair in the future after a few production runs is a lot of money to spend... so the tooling for one chassis will be reused for more models with most of the same parts however since injection molding is cheap most of the time plastics and other exterior panels are changed to give the perception of a new case sometimes other features are added or removed such as number of included 2.5 inch caddies

#

@blissful ruin

#

in this particular instance the top and front panel molding changes. as well as front panel material is now mostly steel.

#

internally the tooling is the same

blissful ruin Jul 23, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

ok cool. i've been eyeing either one of those or the Meshify S2 at this point so i've been trying to decide what my best option is in that size/price/feature range

sly bobcat Jul 23, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

while its a lot of personal opinion id be on the s2 myself

#

the p400 varients, and p3xx cases as well as the metallic gear cases many of which share some basic tooling between various versions are all pretty flimsy

#

i havent seen a s2 or the r6 in a little while in person but if i recall the mobo tray was a little stiffer

#

the mobo tray tooling they use doesnt add much stiffness to the sheet

#

as well as that goes back long ago for the enthoo line as well like the old pro and stuff

blissful ruin Jul 23, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

i think my main issue with the S2 is the front io being on the removable panel instead of the chassis

sly bobcat Jul 23, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

well i suppose but how much of that is really a issue for you?

blissful ruin Jul 23, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

probably not much in reality

sly bobcat Jul 23, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

the only 2 issues i have for the s2 is pricing (microcenter fixes that really cheap there) and the stupid logo on the front panel i hate

#

but i have not been impressed with phanteks tooling overall

#

i like where they were going with airflow and listening to some of the community

#

they just need to make them not so much like a wet noodle

blissful ruin Jul 23, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

noted

sly bobcat Jul 23, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

@blissful ruin see gns p400 review there was a spot where he pressed on the case panels in different spots and bowed the top of the case

#

might have been the p400a

#

forget which one of the GN pieces it was on

#

while the cases your asking about use different tooling

#

phanteks has a habit of not using enough ribs and stuff in the stamping process to stiffen panels

#

they focus more on using less material to lower cost

#

their noodle mobo trays also go back a long time too

#

have a old enthoo next to me like that as well

blissful ruin Jul 23, 2020, 11:52 AM

#

the only 2 issues i have for the s2 is pricing (microcenter fixes that really cheap there) and the stupid logo on the front panel i hate
@extraterrestrial#8303
i don't even see the S2 Meshify even listed at Microcenter, just the Define variant (which i see for 99.99 - still really good)

and yeah i just recently discovered gamers nexus and been watching all their videos and noticed what you mentioned about the 400 front panel

@fresh ether 5700 XT is better for gaming that 2060. 5700 non XT is pretty much equal, but 5700 non XT stock is pretty bad.

You could also get a 5700 and flash it’s bios into a 5700 XT to get better performance, but since you’re new to building idk if you’d be comfortable doing that

Also, if you want to livestream, get Nvidia instead

Between Ryzen 3600 and 3700X, I’d say just get a 3600. It won’t bottleneck and you don’t really need 3700X performance.

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Its 1080p but i thought it would be cool to go 1440

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

Eh the jump from 1080 to 1440 isn’t that large but I mean it looks better

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

Hmmm is it really worth it?

#

I just thought it be something new

#

I thought about 4k but i dont know if i like going back to 60fps.... First world problems..

#

I know their higher refresh rates but im not trying to break the bank either

#

GWseremePeepoThink

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

Well, you could go 1080p 240Hz, but a lot of people don’t think 240Hz is worth it either

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

Yeah at that point i dont think i notice

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

But, I say it’s up to you

#

I’ll find you a decent monitor, you look at the price, and see if you think it’s worth it

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Ok thx for your help

#

Really appreciated

#

What’s your budget

#

For monitor

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

$300

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

That one’s $300?

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

?

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Oh it’s $399 my bad

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

399.99

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

I misread as $299 :P

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Oof

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Okay let me get different one

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

I saw one that might be good

#

Ill put here in a sec

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Welp there’s a lot of options at $300 but now it’s VA panel instead of IPS sadly

#

But that’s okay

#

And pretty bad response times

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HbCD4D/viotek-gn27d-270-2560x1440-144hz-monitor-gn27d
There’s this one. Not the greatest spec-wise but people seem to like it

VIOTEK GN27D 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor

#

And cheap

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Whats the difference between Va and IPS?

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

They’re panels. It’s how they display color

#

IPS is the best to most people. VA is fine though

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Dont know what panel my laptop uses but im fine with that

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Yee

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Also that was the monitor i was gonna show u

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Probably some cheapo panel

#

Oh really lol nice

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

Welp i either wait for another chance for it or buy 1080p again

#

If theres a really high quality 1080p panel at 144 hrtz ill get it

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Why you saying sorry? Lol. It’s just personal preference

Let me get you a nice one

GWcorsairNomNomNom

#

Ok

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Do you still want 27”?

#

I think 24” would be best option for 1080p but

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

Why do u say that?

#

GWchinaMaikaWut

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

1080p has less pixels

#

So it looks better in smaller screens

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

Ahh

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

But also at 27” the only one in stock I can find is a crappy overpriced one

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

Oof

#

Welp 24inch than

#

If it has freesync even better

#

I dont know if i can use g-sync

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

Yeah G-sync is for Nvidia

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

Damn them

#

GWovoWhoDesu

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

But freesync is for AMD

#

It’s just compatibility and names

#

They both do the same thing

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Oh

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

I can’t find any good IPS ones reeee

fresh ether Jul 25, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

Maybe i should wait on the monitor...

#

For more to be available

#

I still have an old Magnavox 1080i 60hrtz monitor....

#

GWmiyanoDead

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

Lol

#

Could use that as a secondary

But yeah prices on everything are wack rn

Thats what im already doing with my laptop

Hold on I gtg I’ll be back in a while

Oh ok

@chrome iris freesync works for nividia now

chrome iris Jul 25, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Yeah ik

#

But it doesn’t always work technically

#

But usually does

#

But originally, freesync was for AMD and GSync was for Nvidia

so i am gonna get a NZXT H510 and i want to mount a 2070S vertically but i don't know how much clearance between the glass and the fans there will be. does anybody know?

#

because i know the lian li o11 dynamic has lots of space between a verical mount gpu and the side panel

elfin trout Jul 26, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

@scenic lance I don't think the h510 supports vertical GPU

#

The H510 elite it supports vertical GPU, as you can see the mount here

📎 unknown.png

#

but I don't see a mount on the normal h510

📎 unknown.png

scenic lance Jul 26, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

@elfin trout yeah but I was gonna put my own mounting bracket in

elfin trout Jul 26, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

you gonna cut a hole in your case?

scenic lance Jul 26, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

📎 image0.png

#

No like one of these

#

Don’t you just take out some of the slots and then put this in?

elfin trout Jul 26, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

not for my case at least

#

for my case the red stuff stays when you take off the slots, so I can't do something like that

📎 unknown.png

#

not sure oh the h510

scenic lance Jul 26, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

Tbh I’ll probably just stick with the regular mount because I don’t want any performance drops due to messed up airflow

golden kestrel Jul 26, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

If airflow is a concern dont get a h510 ROFLEgg

I'm getting a lian pc o11 dynamic case

#

how much fans can I fit in there

#

also I want a 360mm aio cooler

granite lantern Jul 26, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

you can add a 360mm cooler front or top, so i guess you could add 3 x 120mm fans aswell

pulsar echo Jul 26, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

kk

tropic dune Jul 26, 2020, 6:00 PM

@pulsar echo I have that case, using a 360 front/side, plus 3 on top, and there's also room for 3 more along the bottom if you remove the ssd trays

naive vigil Jul 26, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

I picked up an IBuyPower PC and can't see a label on the PSU. Is there a way to get the info (manufacturer, wattage and class) through software or??

vocal talon Jul 26, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

no but you can probably google ur pc's model number or name + psu and see if anybody knows what it is

naive vigil Jul 26, 2020, 8:31 PM

I see it came up on Best Buy's Q&A on the system as "This system comes with a 650 watt 80 Plus GOLD power supply!" Trying to verify this......

make sure to install the PSU on the insulation pads

drowsy ingot Jul 27, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

What's the best case I can buy I'm not looking for most expensive I'm looking for airflow I dont care about rgb no rgb and cheeper the better

#

Now if it has rgb that's fine

#

But if theres one that will deliver the same quality for cheeper (because no rgb) that's what I want

meager narwhal Jul 27, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

im not sure about no RGB but i know of a great case from cooler master the TD500 mesh case i believe its 99 bucks not sure if this is what youre wanting in price but it seems to be good (i dont have it ive just heard great things)

chrome iris Jul 27, 2020, 1:14 AM

TD 500 mesh is good

7 fans, and only 6 4-pin connections.

Do I buy modular semi-modular or non modular PSU? What’s the difference between them? Please ping me with an answer because I have this server muted.

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Modular will give you the cleanest cable management

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

@faint rampart do either one, semi modular just has some cables separate from the main blob of wires, making it so you can cable manage a bit, non-modular is just all the cables come in a blob, even cables you won't use, making it look more messy.

#

Perf wise there's no difference

faint rampart Jul 27, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

So there is no more dominant one? @elfin trout

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

Not really

#

I don't like semi mod and non-mod

#

It's still messy :p

vocal talon Jul 27, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

its just ease of installation and looks

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 3:52 AM

non-modular is like trying to wrestle a 9 headed hydra

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 3:52 AM

faint rampart Jul 27, 2020, 3:52 AM

I went with the 220t hehe

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

Is okay

#

Both good cases

#

Just one that's superior

#

Imo 220t airflow front panel is ugly

#

But td500 mesh front panel is sexy

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

I got the rgb version, didn't like the airflow either

#

I also don't have the front glass on, so it pulls more air.

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

Just td500 mesh front panel lets rgb through and still does a great job with airflow while still functioning as a dust filter

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

I've got the dust filter on still, just not the tempered panel.

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 6:42 AM

I like td500 mesh too much lol

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 6:42 AM

The airflow version looked like it was horrible for airflow, ironically

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 6:42 AM

I dunno why they did how they did it tbh

#

Cut some holes in a solid panel

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

I might get one to play with.

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

But still leave half of the panel

fickle herald Jul 27, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

should be called the 220t noflow

elfin trout Jul 27, 2020, 6:43 AM

It also isn't symmetrical xd
