#

guess ill have to buy then get a new psu

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

what

chrome iris Oct 26, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

@abstract sonnet make sure its a good psu

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

500w might be pushing it

#

600w should be fine

#

@abstract sonnet it's more about getting a good PSU than going way overkill on the wattage

#

@mellow field and remember, the TDP is just 220w

#

"suggest psu" is kinda bs tbh

#

they suggest I think 850w for a 3080

#

pretty sure someone here ran it successfully on a 450w psu

abstract sonnet Oct 26, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

damn

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

ofc that's really tight

#

but it's possible

abstract sonnet Oct 26, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

i dont really wanna take that risk though

#

i dont wanna brick my pc

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

not recommended for 450w with a 3080

#

but 500w with a 3070

#

should be fine depending on other parts

#

Pcpartpicker has a fairly good PSU wattage calculator

abstract sonnet Oct 26, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

i did that

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

for example

#

yea

#

I like how they break it down

abstract sonnet Oct 26, 2020, 3:18 PM

its a meh psu to begin with, and would be stressed constantly

id rather play it safe

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:32 PM

It's safe enough

#

esp in a case where they already have the PSU.

abstract sonnet Oct 26, 2020, 3:32 PM

after i buy it i will upgrade anyways

chrome iris Oct 26, 2020, 3:32 PM

ok whatever you say

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

65w chip + let's say 65w board+periph, 220w gpu, 15w ram, 5w ssd, and 10w random crap

#

still not near 500w

chrome iris Oct 26, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

220w+65w cpu+100w rest of system idk yeah thats 385w

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

still got space

abstract sonnet Oct 26, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

i can make a specs list on pcpartpicker and send it to u if u want

chrome iris Oct 26, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

but I means still, thats a whole 150w less than nvidia's recommended psu

#

i know you can go lower than what they recommend

#

but dang thats a lot lower

#

whatever though

#

just my opinion

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

so yams

#

I feel recommended is bs

#

@chrome iris I'm all for getting 550w/650w in a new build, but when they already have 500w, I think it's good enough for keeping.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XQndnQ/thermaltake-v200-tempered-glass-rgb-edition-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-1k8-00m1wn-01 is this a good case

@restive jewel

#

@static aspen whichever you like best. Good luck finding the P500a in stock :P

static aspen Oct 26, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Amazon has them on backorder

#

If I order now it says I'd get in mid November but I'm not looking to build until December when my semester is finished

#

@chrome iris

#

Also newegg has them for sale as well for backorder

chrome iris Oct 26, 2020, 5:37 PM

oh

#

ok then

static aspen Oct 26, 2020, 5:41 PM

It's the 500dx that is not in stock on newegg rn, the one part I'm concerned about is the mobo I want x570 tomahawk

why

#

are you concerned about that

static aspen Oct 26, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Finding it msrp

#

But I'll do my internet hunting and find one by then hopefully

#

But I've only seen it at 300-400 really when it should sell for like 220 I believe

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Why do you want the board?

static aspen Oct 26, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

8 and 4 pin for cpu power
has a usb c connector for the front io for a case
has wifi which i need in a board since I have no wired options (i know wireless adapters are an option)
comes with two heatsinks for m.2 drives on for an msrp of 220
considering other boards ive looked at all miss one or more things from that list and cost roughly the same at msrp

elfin trout Oct 26, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

I mean

#

other than the 2 heatsink thing, I think I can find you a replacement really quickly

Misinformed on necessity of 8 and 4 pin for cpu power

tender root Oct 26, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

8 pin = EPS = required.

#

4pin = marketing having a general lark at what they can get away with (in most cases)

#

yes, you can make a case for some (very very few) users actually benefitting from it. but unless you are trying to OC the pants and the bones out of that CPU ... no.

you take everything out and then put everything back in a new case

yea it's really on a case by case basis tho

The TUF RTX 3080 recommends an 850W PSU and it says it uses the same amount of power as other 3080s. Would a 750W PSU work with a 5800x and this card?

vocal tartan Oct 27, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

doesn't it recommend 750

#

should be fine

reef pawn Oct 27, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

The ASUS website recommends website reccomends 850 but PcPartPicker says the estimated wattage is 529

lofty pewter Oct 27, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

No one knows true 5800x power consumption

#

so basically, no one can say

#

other then, "maybe"

#

As all we know is that Zen3 is apparently going to save same power consumption as Zen2... sourced from AMD from their own secret testing and cherry picked results. We dont know their 100% testing setup and just how cherry picked everything is

#

IF Zen3 and Zen2 power consumption is the same, big IF there, then a 650w PSU is fine unless you have a lot of drives or smth

yeah, if the cable coming out of your power supply looks like the picture i sent, it will work. Notice how theres a 6 pin part and a 2 pin part. For your use case, you wouldnt plug in the extra 2 pins, just leave them dangling near it.

that PSU is compatible

#

looking at the specs on newegg, it comes with 2 6+2 pin cables like in the picture i sent

it will work.

This is n regards to an earlier post from yesterday. Would a 750W PSU work with the ASUS TUF 3080 and a 5800x. It's just because the listed wattage on the ASUS 3080 is the same as the EVGA but the ASUS one has the same wattage

For anyone that needs a budget psu get ARESGAME Power Supply and if you don’t believe me that it is good try and find one bad review on it

Every single one of their psu are 5 star and they have like 300 or more reviews on each of them

That's sus. Reviews can be bought...

Yes but there would be at least some people saying it was bad not everyone saying 5 stars

Am I wrong

eager monolith Oct 28, 2020, 4:26 AM

There are many sites dedicated to buying five star reviews. Amazon reviews are not to be trusted

Maybe for a very budget build. But anything not on the PSU tier list is sus imo

PSUs be dangerous, easily be a firestarter/PC killer. Used PSUs is smth you have no clue on the status on other then taking ones word. Smth I see as sketchy unless truly trustworthy seller (like EVGA BStock for refurbished)

Food for thought: TT Smart has a 4.5 rating on Amazon but just about every failure is a fire/PC killer - That isnt normal

#

you want every failure to be a DOA or PSU killer, NOT a PC killer/fire starter

honest rose Oct 28, 2020, 5:06 AM

So the br is good then because the failure is just doa or dead within a month

#

Or something like that

Yes, but do you realistically think Amazon or any people would let that big of scandal slide? If that's the case, I could say NVIDIA, AMD, Intel all bought positive reviews

Yes

lofty pewter Oct 28, 2020, 5:07 AM

The BR is good because in the event that it does fail, it wont cause chaos. Failure rates are still the same as every other decent PSU - basically pretty small

Open box (directly) from Amazon is a safe bet. Open box elsewhere can be a gamble. Used is risky, especially with models that have been around a while

#

Or used directly from Amazon (I mean Amazon Warehouse deals or ship from and sold by Amazon deals). They are generally sold as used b/c damaged outer packaging from storage.

id think it would be tier C or tier B ish just seeing how its fully modular and its price

meh

I mean

#

half of all gigabyte PSUs on PSU tier list is tier D

I'd prob say C to be safe

@pallid isle I'd grab a phanteks amp 750w for similar price

@snow spoke this is also a good option. when you get a case with a slot for an optical drive, they tend to be older to you sacrifice some modern case accesories.

what do you guys think is the best design case you could have at the moment

what’s a psu shroud?

a internal cover that is typically vented and conceals the psu and drive bays...

does 4000d come with fans? @elfin trout

not rgb doe

I can buy the corsair 465x rgb with 3 120mm rgb fans for 784 dkk (122 usd)

I’ve heard that Corsair has some good airflow cases

elfin trout Oct 31, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

@supple igloo you might want to ignore "silent" marketing and such, define series cases have surprisingly decent airflow despite only those side vents on the front

#

Just as an example

#

And you never see "silent" on the NZXT H510, and that still has bad airflow

#

And also, if you don't care about looks, take a look at the fractal design focus g

chrome iris Oct 31, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

If you want reeeeally silent, just get a good airflow case and smack a few Arctic P12 PWM PSTs in there. Used two of those for my moms build and it is virtually silent. Can’t even hear it pretty much

#

Just find a case with one and replace the fans

brazen sapphire Nov 1, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

okay

#

@supple igloo the case that I would recommend and that a lot of tech tubers have reviewed is the bequiet! pure base 500

#

good price

#

great build quality

#

decent airflow

#

2 big boi cages

#

and really quiet without sacrificing the cooling

#

its what im getting

#

also a lot of mesh front panel cases that have come out in the last year are really quiet

#

one of bequiet's

#

the meshify c is pretty quiet

elfin trout Nov 1, 2020, 5:13 AM

500dx..?

thats what imlooking for

elfin trout Nov 1, 2020, 5:14 AM

Because the org 500 kinda sucked for airflow

brazen sapphire Nov 1, 2020, 5:14 AM

the front intakes were better than people thought they were gonna be

elfin trout Nov 1, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

And I don't think any of those have the 5.25in bay that guy wanted..?

brazen sapphire Nov 1, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

the top exaust was a weird setup

#

they both have 2 bays

#

for 5 inchers

#

that you can remove if you want another front fan

#

but im keeping it in

#

because the 3rd fan would just blow straight into the basement and into the psu cables

elfin trout Nov 1, 2020, 5:15 AM

Looks like 0 to me..?

this is the 500 and 500dx correct?

they are the same case besides the front panel

#

similar prices as well

okay gtg adios

From be quiets website:

#

@brazen sapphire I seriously can't find where you're getting 500dx having 5.25in bays

#

It's got 3.5in bays

#

But no 5.25in bays

#

And this is for the original pure base 500

📎 Screenshot_20201101-011824.png

Hope it has good front ventilation on the 600, no mesh varient sadly

not for the OS or games or anything

tender root Nov 2, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

you are very welcome :)

#

what are you building in that requires a SFX @cunning cobalt ?

cunning cobalt Nov 2, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

Building in a fractal design node 202

#

Going for a small build

tender root Nov 2, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

hm

#

i know its not as slim, but its small in a different way

#

the node 304 is also an option

#

and that takes atx psu's

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

btw, maybe this would work?
https://www.newegg.com/seasonic-focus-sgx-ssr-500sgx-500w/p/N82E16817151230

#

closer to the 100$ mark.

#

coil whine hell

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

hm alright

tender root Nov 2, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

same for the silverstone one

cunning cobalt Nov 2, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

Ok ill check those out. Thank you for your help.

tender root Nov 2, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

you are very welcome and best of luck :)

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

Hm, don't see anything about coil whine, but it seems noise is a bit high.

#

@tender root gimme your ways

#

I want to know how to know thingies

tender root Nov 2, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

i have had a number of builds with both

#

(had them pass across my desk that is)

#

a normal mod for the silverstone fan was to replace it

#

because the old model was horrid at times

#

and the seasonic i dont know if that has been fixed since then

#

but imo, for the 25 extra usd, its worth not having to potentially deal with whine

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

gotcha

unreal garden Nov 2, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

@elfin trout how do you like your psu's fan up or down?

#

And that's assuming there's a vent either way

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

In my PC, I have fan up so I can see G3 label, but you're supposed to have it fan down to get fresh air.

worthy crypt Nov 2, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

How should I do fan config in h710i? I have front 3 intake with rad and what should I do for the rest? For positive pressure? So what should be my 4th intake? 1 on top and then 2 exhaust on top and rear exhaust?

unreal garden Nov 2, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Fair enough

open ridge Nov 2, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

@worthy crypt The 3 front intake is good, the top fans and rear should be exhaust and do you have bottom fan

teal creek Nov 2, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

Is a RMx 750w (2018) good?

hushed yoke Nov 2, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

yes

teal creek Nov 2, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Thanks for a quick response

hushed yoke Nov 2, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

sure

#

i have an rm650x myself, no issues

astral grail Nov 2, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

For aroud 60 usd whats one of the best cases i can get. All around with decent airflow and dust filters over the fans

#

Just @ me since i have the server muted for only pings

indigo galleon Nov 2, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

@astral grail Corsair 275r airflow

astral grail Nov 2, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Ill take a look thanks

scenic lance Nov 2, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

Which case do you recommend that is cheap about $ 70

worldly dust Nov 2, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

p400a

surreal magnet Nov 2, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

MB511L ARGB for mATX boards

scenic lance Nov 2, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

someone has a list of the cases with the best airflow?

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

kinda

#

but at what price

rich hazel Nov 2, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

Is 1000W gonna be enough for Zen 3 and Radeon 6000

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

at 70$, your best bet for a case is MX330-g air with 3 included fans

#

@rich hazel most likely way overkill

vocal tartan Nov 2, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

more than enough

rich hazel Nov 2, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

@rich hazel most likely way overkill
@elfin trout Exactly what i want lol thx

snow zodiac Nov 2, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

I’m doing 5900x and 6800xt with 850w

rich hazel Nov 2, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

Imma get the 5600X

snow zodiac Nov 2, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Super overkill

rich hazel Nov 2, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

Yeah im probably gonna do upgrades in the future too so just in case

snow zodiac Nov 2, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

(I think an 850 should be fine for you, but I’m a super newbie so ask one of the smarter guys)

robust stream Nov 2, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

Does anyone know a good case for under 50$ with like 2 fans?

elfin trout Nov 2, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Mx330-g air at 55$ with 3 fans

exotic ridge Nov 2, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

is this a good case

#

and does this have good stock fans

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sY9tt6/corsair-275r-airflow-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-9011181-ww

surreal magnet Nov 2, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

im sure its fine

limpid crypt Nov 3, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

its good, the full mesh version of it is better though

ivory acorn Nov 3, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Hey all
I currently have a Matrexx 70
I'm looking to upgrade to a o11d xl, which other cases would you guys recommend with similar space and looks?
Price isn't that important but I'd like to stay within the 300$ cad range

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

P500a if possible

#

(Stock is iffy on the p500a)

ivory acorn Nov 3, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Someone i know recommended that as well, would there be any other choices?

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

A Coolermaster TD500 mesh is also good

ivory acorn Nov 3, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

Ooooh that one's pretty nice

#

Thanks!

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

I got the p600s, it’s expensive but gorgeous

vague sun Nov 3, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Anyone have experience with the 500D SE, 680X? in the market for the new build, but having difficulty finalizing a case. Would like ARGB, preferably controlled with least software clash.

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

It’s a good case

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

the 500d literally just doesnt exist in canada, which sucks cause i definitely would;ve gone for it had i the option

#

instead im going for the meshify c dark tg

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

500dx?

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

it looks great

#

yes

#

that

#

i meant

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

try td500 mesh >:D

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

nah, i hate the side

#

makes it looks like acrylic

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

eh, sounded from owners that it looked better irl

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

and the one that has the nice side panel has no airflow

#

not risking it, besides doesnt have tint

#

i like tint

#

a lot

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

oh

#

I wonder if there are other good cases with tint other than meshify c

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

what case do any of you reccommend that excel at air cooling at a low price (80-100)?

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

i remember i looked into it at one point, most had either no airflow, i didnt like the look of the rest of them, or had really bad building aspects

#

p300a

#

phanteks

#

or p400a digital if u want rgb

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

I'v been looking at the phanteks company

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

ye, phanteks makes good stuff

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:13 AM

#

and all ive seen are good reviews

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

the reason its so cheap tho is because they use i think 4 or 5 year old tooling to manufacture the cases

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

Yeah I got the p600s, it’s a real good looking case

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

I heard the fans were loud for the p600s

#

is that true?

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

I replaced the fans so idk

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

ah that would make sense

#

why did you replace them?

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

stock fans arent generally all that great

#

they'll work, but you'll almost always be better off buying new fans

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

^

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

which ones would you reccommend?

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

unless you buy some 3 pack of stripper heel fans off amazon for $5

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

if you had to

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

hmmm

#

whats price range

#

super cheap like 20-50 or more reasoable 50-70

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

i'd say 80-100 again

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

for like a 4-6 fan pack kinda thing

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

or 50-70

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

Oh okay lol

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

that works too

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

i mean, ezdiyfab makes some good fans

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

I thought you were saying that was per fan

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

or

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

thats what i bought

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

get NF-A12x25s

minor portalBOT Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

SlingshotWaffles#7627 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

and never buy any more fans for the rest of your life

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

hmmMmMMM

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

:D

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

And I was about to blow my crap lol

#

50-70 per fan

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

yea, fans can get crazy expensive once you go up the line

#

not worth

#

just get more of the cheaper ones lul

elfin trout Nov 3, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

I mean, 25usd per fan is the usual "high end" fan cost imo

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

I think the ones I got were 20

#

I got 4

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

but as for cheaper fans, these ones are the ones i got and they've been working great for the past 3 months

#

#

every type of rgb that there is for fans

#

thats CAD prices btw

#

so

#

they'll be a bit cheaper in usd

#

conversion rates rn are 0.74 i think

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

black friday is just around the corner

#

so I'd best wait for that

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

yea, thats when im buying my pc

#

or at least, what i can

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

I pray you get your parts brother

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

anything that there isnt a deal on, ill buy the next day

#

lul

#

i do too

#

not sure how good black friday deals are in canada but we'll see

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

I'm trying to upgrade as well

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

cause i tried to see some deals on prime day, but there was absolutely nothing on the canada website

#

ye, imma be going from a 1060 6gb i5 7500 to a 3600 3070

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

lets hope you get that 3070

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

then taking this build to my dads and using it there

#

welll

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

that's a heck in a hand basket

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

in store theres back orders so hopefully

copper grotto Nov 3, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

I really want a 3070 as well

#

rockin an outdated

#

amd gpu

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

I’m probably gonna pick up 2 more fans

#

So I’ll have the max 3 in front, 1 in back, 2 in top

#

Just cause it bothers me that some aren’t used

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

yea, im gonna have 3 front, 1 back 1 top

#

so its at least semi-symetrical

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

I got my case white so that it matches my white mobo

#

It looks so good

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

white mobo? which one?

#

nzxt or something lul

#

prolly asrock or sus

#

they make white ones pretty commonly

#

if i gotta guess, imma guess some asus prime board

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

Yeah Asus prime

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

ayyy that guess tho

#

intel or smd?

#

*amd

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

Amd

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

my stepdad has an intel asus prime board

#

its nice

#

mine is some cheapo $70 one

#

which was the cheapest i could get back when i built

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Fair enough

orchid magnet Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

P300a or Meshify C? I was trying to get P300A mesh panel but it’s being returned by USPS, and either way it was costing me $45 with shipping and all.

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

im going for the meshify c on my next build

orchid magnet Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

Or should I just wait until I rebuild the PC with a 6800xt?

dawn matrix Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

it also gives me the option of a dark tg pane

#

which i live

#

*love

orchid magnet Nov 3, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

Hmm it’s on sale for $60 atm so I was considering just moving over my build.

#

Just not sure if it’s worth all the hassle with the AIO installled and everything

snow zodiac Nov 3, 2020, 4:10 AM
