speaking of cooler master

#

the q300p

#

is this case good enough for air flow??

fresh folio
#

Is the front mesh? ( I can’t tell )

patent idol
#

its a plastic cover

#

vent is in the bottom

fresh folio
#

Then no

#

Try find something that has mesh on the front

patent idol
#

theres plenty

#

but i want a compact case with handles

#

so i can carry it around easily

#

theres full tower cases with handles

#

but i dont want that big of a case

fresh folio
#

Hmm

snow zodiac
#

Why do you want to carry it around

patent idol
#

so i can carry it and my vr software and move it to my grandma/brothers house

#

move from room to living room

#

be less of a hassle

toxic dome
#

is this case good enough for air flow??
@patent idol personally hate that

patent idol
#

good to know

toxic dome
#

#

fior the price

#

lol also no directr airflow

#

trash case tbh

fresh folio
toxic dome
#

and acrylic at $77

patent idol
#

just wanted the final nail in the coffin

toxic dome
#

straight garbager

fresh folio
#

Honestly idk

patent idol
#

hm too much

toxic dome
#

mans said he wants something to carry but you send him an eatx case for like 2.5 times the money

snow zodiac
#

Way too much

patent idol
#

and the acrylic doesnt have handles

toxic dome
#

you aint carrying that for 5 feet

#

lmfao

#

just go for a mitx build @patent idol

patent idol
#

mitx isnt suited for what i want

#

micro has everything i need

toxic dome
#

want something easy to carry node 202, want better airflow cougar qbx or nr200

#

why?

patent idol
#

i have multiple hard drives and want enough power to oc a little bit

toxic dome
#

you can oc in sff cases lol

#

like nr200

#

unless a beefy air cooler

patent idol
#

i have an old huge fan cooler i do want to keep

#

keeps my current cpu at 33 c and ive had it for 3 years

#

but if nothing comes to mind, the panzer max might be the case ill get

toxic dome
#

lol nmthen

patent idol
#

its a big boy, but better than nothing

toxic dome
#

true

#

what cooler

patent idol
#

ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE

toxic dome
#

i see

#

also panzer x hello overpiced tf

#

just make custom handles on like a p360a

#

or smthng

#

why spend that much because it has handle

#

s

#

@patent idol

patent idol
#

i just want handles

snow zodiac
#

Not worth it

#

Moving it without handles isn’t even a big hassle tbh

patent idol
#

saftey when im carrying expensive hardware i cant afford to replace

snow zodiac
#

I mean go for it I guess

#

But I’d recommend just getting a good case that fits your parts

toxic dome
#

get a case and drill some old handbag handles on it if you really want it

#

lmfao

snow zodiac
#

Seriously

toxic dome
#

ong no cap

#

like tf is 140 for a sht case just because it has handles????

#

just get a p360a or smthing and do what i say

#

boom

#

handbag case 😎

snow zodiac
#

Or put the pc in a bag when moving it

toxic dome
#

yeah lol

#

no need for handles

#

also who cares around a big ass case

#

to move across the room?

patent idol
#

and put in car, drive 30 miles, dirt road, carry up porch and move around

snow zodiac
#

Well handles in car aren’t going to help

patent idol
#

this has been great help

#

im gonna head off

#

😶

toxic dome
#

nice

#

stupid decisions ppl

#

you want handles to walk to your car tf

snow zodiac
#

Lmao

patent idol
#

after looking

#

decided on this

#

BX6-MS6

low meteor
#

I'm looking for an ATX case with 280mm top rad support, but most of the cases I look at don't specify. Anyone have suggestions?

winter trout
#

Lancool II mesh can support a 140x280mm rad from what im reading

#

on the manual i have here

#

wait

#

no thats side lemme read a bit

low meteor
#

lmao ok, thanks 🙂

winter trout
#

yep only 120x240 top

#

mb almost screwed up :/

#

just make sure you read the downloadable manual while on your search

queen elbow
#

is 380w enough for an rx 570 and ryzen 3 2200g

fresh folio
#

would go for 450

vocal tree
#

yes me too

#

I imagine they have a 380w?

queen elbow
#

hey its u guys again lol

junior harbor
#

pspspspspspsp

open ridge
#

any good atx case less than 100 with a bunch of fan slots and cable management

rich hazel
#

Probably

snow zodiac
#

The p400a is good

rich hazel
#

What is the best rgb white case under 100 bucks

snow zodiac
#

No idea, cause rgb is overrated and overused

rich hazel
#

Well not in my opinion lol

snow zodiac
#

Fair enough

#

I think one of the cheaper phanteks cases has an rgb variant

boreal needle
#

Could you not just get a white case and buy a bunch of RGBs? ^^

rich hazel
#

Wait a sec “rgb” cases are just cases that have stock rgb fans right

#

Or rgb strips

snow zodiac
#

Not sure for all, but for the ones I’ve seen yeah

rich hazel
#

Ok

boreal needle
#

if that's too expensive but you're looking for a disco ball in it, good luck! ^^

rich hazel
#

No wait the apevia one looked rlly bad in the build pics

tender root
#

@limpid peak @snow spoke

snow spoke
#

whats up

tender root
#

its a bit more quiet here to talk

limpid peak
#

ya... it is but that case looks perfect

#

it will showcase my 2080 ti trio nicely too

snow spoke
#

yeah but naed said its a pain to build in

#

id say that naed is a trusted source in this server

limpid peak
#

hrmm....

tender root
#

well

limpid peak
#

yaaa.. Naed seems the most level headed too 🙂

tender root
#

its not that the its a "pain" as such

#

its that its a cheap quality of a case

limpid peak
#

hrmmmm... but its cute!!!

#

and cute is REALLY hard to find

tender root
#

but, that picture gives me an idea about where you want to go (design wise)

limpid peak
#

yup!

#

that it does

#

you would not believe how many people want to see my case and lighting lol so I really have to make it stand out

snow spoke
#

ohh nice

#

ill see if i can find something more "reliable"

limpid peak
#

there are sooo many cases I have honestly have no idea where to even begin

tender root
#

hm, try and have a look at Corsair

limpid peak
#

I just ran into this

snow zodiac
#

Lmao pink

limpid peak
#

ohh its a micro nm

#

I need a mid no?

snow zodiac
#

Probably

snow spoke
#

yeah, i thought you were building with an atx mobo, right?

limpid peak
#

this is... interesting

#

not sure how I like it though

snow spoke
#

i found this from cooler master

rich hazel
#

I’m getting that one lol

snow zodiac
#

Ngl the pink doesn’t look good with those cases

rich hazel
#

It looks rlly good in build pics

limpid peak
#

ya thats what I was thinking sling

#

thats what I was like umm hrmm

#

I like the design though its so future looking

snow spoke
#

oh and also how much will you be willing to spend on a case?

limpid peak
#

no more than 150

snow spoke
#

oh ok

limpid peak
#

I can't see sinking more for a case

snow spoke
#

have you looked into lian-li cases?

limpid peak
#

I prefere 60-80 range but

#

I will spend extra for design

snow spoke
#

a white one with rgb fans look great based on pictures i've seen

tender root
#

re: Apevia Aura case: It looks like a sealed box. Meaning, it will cook the parts

limpid peak
#

hrmm

#

I can't let that happen.. my time with AMD = over heating on me every other day

#

that is generally why I switched to intel

snow zodiac
#

Ew

tender root
#

back then yes

#

and now you are going back to amd :)

#

so lets prevent you from doing a closed box :)

limpid peak
#

I mean I bought 2... raedon 580 xt gpu's they died on me within a month time

#

that is why I now have a 2080 ti I couldn't wait for the 3080's

tender root
#

sidenote: that sucks, but that just sounds like bad luck.

limpid peak
#

so why do people have those box cases I see so often

tender root
#

@limpid peak elaborate please ?

snow zodiac
#

Ngl the 2080 ti is kinda a ripoff

tender root
#

it was the only consumer card with 11gig of vram back in the day @snow zodiac

snow spoke
#

from when it was released, i don't think so @snow zodiac

limpid peak
tender root
#

ah, those :)

snow zodiac
#

Price to performance not worth it

limpid peak
#

I mean I got mine for 1.3k... and I can resell it right now for 1.8k

#

roughly

tender root
#

that is a choice of space Himeko :)

#

@snow zodiac please remember that the MSRP of the 2080TI is actually 1000

#

unless you get very very lucky you wont be selling for that @limpid peak

limpid peak
#

ya I am not expecting it.. I am waiting for the 24 gig card I will get one in june if they stable out

tender root
#

re: small boxes:

limpid peak
#

and sell this for whatever I get.. I had to get something reliable and this card does not over heat

tender root
#

i have one of those next to me right now

#

(well, next to me in the shelf about a meter away)

snow spoke
limpid peak
#

ahhh ya I want a regullar case

#

I don't like the front design

tender root
#

aye aye, i have no doubt about that :)

limpid peak
#

the first thing I thought about though when I seen that case... is I have.. VR.... Matrix!!!.. wait... can I learn kongfu? lol

tender root
#

design suggestion. NOT model suggestion on that last one

limpid peak
#

that.. is ok not the best but not bad

tender root
#

anything you actually like about it?

#

(remember, asking to dial in the concept here)

limpid peak
#

I do like how the top has a glass panel

#

the overall I like it I just don't care for the front

tender root
#

what about the width of it?

limpid peak
#

ohh I don't like that

#

I'm a 4'11 girl and I need to be able to carry my computer

tender root
#

:)

snow spoke
#

i have a cousin just like that lmao

limpid peak
#

its.. a very interesting design though

tender root
snow spoke
#

would she benefit from a case that already has an icue rgb controller?

limpid peak
#

that is better but its bland.

#

I like the sleekness though

tender root
#

gah!

#

wrong link

limpid peak
#

that is better

#

that is much much better

#

I'll mark that one as a deffy maybe.. I want to see if there is a cheaper option but ya that is a deffinite write it down

tender root
#

@snow spoke perhaps? i am not really searching based on that. the light/fans can always be fixed later if nothing else :)

limpid peak
#

I do like that one a lot

tender root
snow spoke
#

yeah, true

limpid peak
#

is a major fan of tempered glass cases

#

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

that is cute

snow spoke
#

it even comes with a case handle for ppl who would like to carry it:D

tender root
#

Himeko you have just seen the "darling" of MR1111

snow spoke
#

oh boy

limpid peak
#

I want that

tender root
#

haha :D

limpid peak
#

that is really sharp and the lighting is AMAZING

tender root
#

there you go

limpid peak
#

that is what I want yup sold

#

85 too not bad

#

woohoo ty ty 🙂

tender root
#

you are very welcome @limpid peak :)

#

and thank you @snow spoke for helping prod the mind of Himeko :)

snow spoke
#

waiting to see the end result of the build sometime soon

#

make sure to tag us if you ever finish @limpid peak

limpid peak
#

Oh for sure!!! 🙂

Hey is the evga GA 850w gold a good model psu?

limpid peak

snow spoke
#

fsfs

tender root
limpid peak
#

Thank you soooo much 🙂

snow spoke
#

youre welcome

tender root
#

at least when you post here :)

limpid peak
#

sorry I can be a bit picky with designs but.. for good reason!

tender root
#

nothing to be sorry about

#

its the thing you will be watching/seeing the most

snow spoke
#

now im off to start my geometry hw, which i havent started and i have geometry next

limpid peak
#

hey if I am sinking in over 3-4 grand on a pc... it better look how I want it to look dangit lol

static aspen
#

True

#

All the lights

snow spoke
#

Hey is the evga GA 850w gold a good model psu?
@static aspen have you checked out the psu tier list?

limpid peak
#

its going to be pretty

static aspen
#

No where do I find that@snow spoke

snow spoke
#

its pinned

static aspen
#

I will check that out

snow zodiac
#

hey if I am sinking in over 3-4 grand on a pc... it better look how I want it to look dangit lol
Geez are you buying a 3090 and a 5950x?

limpid peak
#

ok Naed I'll get with you in 2 days to finish this pc 🙂 in build-chat :)... and yes eventually next year I am upgrading to the 24 gig card

tender root
#

aye aye :)

#

btw @limpid peak before you run

limpid peak
#

sure?

tender root
#

that the the reason you should wait

limpid peak
#

Whoa

tender root
#

currently the zen3 chips look to be 15-20% faster than the zen2 chips

limpid peak
#

to be honest I wish I didn't get my 2080 but I needed a good card fast cause I had no pc

tender root
#

keep in mind.

#

that is based on AMD supplied numbers

static aspen
#

@snow spoke if its not in there should i assume its not a good consideration?

limpid peak
#

I just hope the price is right for those processors Naed

tender root
#

but, its enough of a uplift that the wait is imo worth it

limpid peak
#

but ya deffy worth 2 day wait

tender root
static aspen
#

nvm i found it just in the low priority units

tender root
#

@static aspen how much is that psu listed for?

#

@limpid peak aye :) and i will see you in a couple of days then :)

limpid peak
#

yup yups 🙂

static aspen
#

um so its 139 and then a 20 dollar mail in rebate so 119 since i would do the rebate

tender root
static aspen
#

is the phanteks the go to

tender root
#

the AMP tops out at 750w

snow spoke
tender root
#

DF goes up further

static aspen
#

also for consideration how are the cables amazon isnt showing them

snow spoke
#

mr1111 recommended me the psu i linked for a list of mine

tender root
#

but for 99.9999999999% of machines, the 750 AMP is plenty

static aspen
#

i should be fine with 750 i was looking at 850 for future proofing but 750 would be fine

tender root
#

aye. DF is very good too @snow spoke

#

all the info and all the pictures :)

static aspen
#

ty i checked the newegg that has shipping but more pics nice flat cables it looks like

snow zodiac
#

I have a Corsair rm 850

tender root
#

its a lovely psu to work with

#

and the 10year warranty does not hurt

static aspen
#

i was looking at the rmx 850 but saw the evga ga was cheaper atm

#

@tender root appreciate the link to that some money saved never hurts

tender root
#

you are very welcome :)

static aspen
#

part of the reduced cost would also come from the less number of ports

#

but also has enough cuz most typically arent always filled

tender root
#

a fair part of the price is brand related

static aspen
#

that is true

tender root
#

Phantek is NOT as known as Corsair fx :)

static aspen
#

at least not for their psus

#

more for their cases if anything

tender root
#

and even on that

#

they are not as known

static aspen
#

yeah for me its a surprise seeing I know a fair amount of people with their cases

#

and it has a 10 year warranty to thats nice

willow marsh
#

What is a case that looks clean and nice (in white) but has good airflow (and isnt marked up like the lian-li o11 dynamic (looks nice but marked up to 175 rn)).

#

cause rn i have H500I and the airflow is bad ^

rich hazel
radiant ginkgo
#

Guys any 3 slot capable case recommendations

exotic temple
#

Anyone got any cheap ATX case recommendations?

vocal tartan
#

Cougar generally has decent cheap cases

#

case budget?

exotic temple
#

About $200 if I have to bug I’d like to spend more like $100

vocal tartan
#

usd?

exotic temple
#

Yes

vocal tartan
#

well that's a big budget for a case i was expecting you to say $50 lol

#

i'll list some off in a second

exotic temple
#

Thanks

vocal tartan
#

Corsair 4000D airflow ($80 in black or white) TD500 Mesh ($100 in black or white, 3 preinstalled rgb fans) Phanteks p400a is like 90 and has 3 preinstalled rgb fans

#

meshify c can usually be found for cheapish

#

like 70-90 but it's a little overrated imo

#

corsair icue 220t is like $100 and has 3 rgb fans

#

there is a lot of options

exotic temple
#

I appreciate it

vocal tartan
#

np

snow zodiac
#

I’d recommend the phanteks

patent idol
mellow dock
#

ive heard of gamemax

#

i didn't know they made psu's

#

i thought they only made cases

random ruin
#

it seems kind question able

wide glade
#

is this a good case for the price after rebate

honest spindle
#

is the enthoo pro case any good

chrome iris
#

@wide glade yeah if you like the looks. Airlfow looks really bad though

#

@patent idol sketchy. No real reviews on it. Stay away frfom it

snow zodiac
#

Would 750w be enough for a 5800x and a 6800xt, or would 850 be better?

tender root
#

@snow zodiac 750w is enough

snow zodiac
#

Thanks

toxic dome
#

decided on this
@patent idol wtf

#

never consider a gamemax psu

#

lol

forest silo
#

Hi I am new to building PCs, I noticed that EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA is on sale, how is it in comparison to some other 750s? Right now I am looking at Corsair RM 850w, but it's a bit pricier

random ruin
#

850w is problem more then you need

#

600w

#

works for most

forest silo
#

I see, I figured 850 was overkill, so I was willing to scale back to 750. Is 600w still enough for the new Ryzen 9 and 6900/6800xt?

random ruin
#

ok wait a few days for the new ryzen 5000

#

it comes out in two days

#

600w to 650w is probly good

#

also use pcpart picker will help with power consumption

forest silo
#

Cool, I'll do that then. Unrelated question, but hard is it generally to get these new CPUs? Is it near impossible like Nvidia's GPUs?

random ruin
#

it maybe

#

it depends how they do it

forest silo
#

Ya, I'll use pcpartpicker, but doesn't have the new AMD stuff so I wasn't entirely sure with power consumption

random ruin
#

its not out yet

forest silo
#

I know, which was why I was asking about the PSUs

#

Appreciate the info, thank you!

random ruin
#

np

wide glade
#

lmao i just need a good case with decent airflow for under 60$ any recommendations?
just need to have

  1. 325mm+ plus gpu clearance (cause i have long boi gpu)
  2. at least 2 3.5 bay
#

good airfolw is actually pretty important cause i have a 300w gpu rn

elfin trout
#

MX330-g air might be good.

#

at 55$ with 3 included fans

agile ice
#

yo i need a 600-700 dollar prebult pc

random ruin
#

Amazon

#

Or just google

wide glade
#

i build mine for 300$ leaving me without a budget for case

#

lmao

#

after like 6 months

#

its too dusty that i have to buy a case

#

lmao

random ruin
#

They make them for a reason

wide glade
#

but its honestly fine cause its all fine dust when i can jsut clean off every like 2 months

#

also open air is better for my gpu cause of the blow/flow through design

random ruin
#

It's also to protect you delicate mother board

wide glade
#

ehhh

#

its 30$

#

so not a big deal is it breaks

random ruin
#

That's an oof

wide glade
#

and also the card i use outputs ALOT of heat lmao

random ruin
#

That's why fans exsit

#

Is it just chilling on a table

wide glade
#

yes

random ruin
#

That's why

#

Air flow

wide glade
#

well no since its flow/blow through i have a 140mm sucking the hot air out on the other end

random ruin
#

What is it flat

#

Or at an angle

wide glade
#

flat

random ruin
#

Also how many sides are on the table

wide glade
#

sides?

random ruin
#

Is the top or bottom on the table

wide glade
#

its on top of the table

random ruin
#

So the bottom of the gpu is on the table

wide glade
#

no i don't havve my phone rn but the mobo is on top of the table

#

so its like a mining rig or testbench kinda

random ruin
#

Does the card have air flow under it and on top

wide glade
#

oh wait i can't upload picture

#

but yes it flows from right to left

#

so 2 90 mm on my desk blowing air towards teh side of gpu with fans and then out the other way with the help of a 140mm

random ruin
#

Post it in pc pics

#

Or build pics

wide glade
#

@random ruin send

random ruin
#

Ok

#

So what direction is the cpu fan going

wide glade
#

out the door

random ruin
#

And what is the gpu and what do you use it for

wide glade
#

r9 fury

#

as a heater

karmic gorge
#

hi

random ruin
#

I see

#

Now that's money saved

wide glade
#

Yes

#

So when it's cold or smth I can just let it mine crypto and pay for my electricity bill

#

Or while gaming

random ruin
#

Hm

#

I herd they work better in box's tho

wide glade
#

Depends

rigid harbor
#

how's the corsair 465x case? I heard it comes with 3 LL120 fans and theyre like $30 each and that sounds like a steal

wide glade
#

If you can get more static pressure

#

Tbh if it's a cheap pc why even by a case

random ruin
#

Because it decrease the chance of any of those parts breaking

#

@rigid harbor it depends do you know what your putting with it

#

Like gpu cpu

wide glade
#

But like even tho when the parts came out it's was expensive

#

Now it's cheap asf

rigid harbor
#

3600x and 3070 FE

#

@random ruin

random ruin
#

Do you have a pcpp list

rigid harbor
#

yeah

wide glade
#

Lmao I'ma wait for 6800xt and ryzen 5 5th gen

rigid harbor
random ruin
#

I think the case is good

#

But I don't think you need to water cool it

#

3600x is not worth the money 3600

#

Is pretty much the same

rigid harbor
#

i was planning on overclocking it though, would air cooling be just as good for thermals? I also have the money to spend on the aio too lol

elfin trout
#

Yes

random ruin
#

Water cooling has risks

rigid harbor
#

also i like the rgb lol

random ruin
#

Very high risk

elfin trout
#

oh btw

#

Vengeance rgb blocks top radiator on a good amount of cases

#

I'd suggest against that ram

#

oh wait already purchased...

rigid harbor
#

i was planning on putting rad in front not top

elfin trout
#

Welp

#

I don't think you'll have a good time mounting front rad in that case

#

well maybe

#

oh well

#

I'd suggest like a NH-D15s and call it a day

wide glade
#

i brought a cheap chinese cooler for 17$

#

and called it a day

elfin trout
#

Gammaxx400 at 25$ is actually great for the price

#

grab that and call it a day

#

might as well

wide glade
#

lmao yeah

#

but gotta save that 8$ lmao

bright valley
#

coolermaster tower cooler thing is a good one

#

for the price

#

h120 i guess

#

?

wide glade
#

the total cost of my pc was actually 249$ so i wasted the rest on more storage

random ruin
#

Bro you got to treat your. Things with respect

wide glade
#

and not getting a case

bright valley
#

mine $300

#

lol

#

use old pc case

wide glade
#

lol

elfin trout
#

@wide glade not a joke, gammaxx 400 is a great cooler.

wide glade
#

ik it is

#

i throught about it when picking cooler

#

Bro you got to treat your. Things with respect
@random ruin i do take care of them tho atleast i clean them every 2 months and the cooling is honestly enough for a 65w chip (cooler rated for 150w i think or 135w)

#

it was originally meant for a i7 6700k but the dude that was going to swap with me changed his mind last moment

#

so now im stuck with the i3-9100f chip that i flashed the bios with

river stag
#

wish i knew how to cable manage

#

so now im stuck with the i3-9100f chip that i flashed the bios with
even i hv that

wide glade
#

ehh ig here's the spec of my 300$ pc

#

10 tb storage

#

800w 80+ gold psu Apevia

#

r9 fury

#

ripjaw V 3600 mhz 16gb (2x8)

#

i3-9100f

#

z370 pro mobo

#

so basically not bad

#

but not good

river stag
#

300$?

#

dont u think 10 tb overkill?

#

and no way thats 300$

#

and i3 9100f needs discreet gpu

#

to run

#

right?

tender root
#

@river stag R9 Fury IS a gpu

river stag
#

oh i didnt see that

tender root
#

its 5 years old by now, but its a gpu :)

#

(i should know, i have one in this rig right here)

neat ferry
#

What’s some of the best cases you guys recommend

snow zodiac
#

Price?

river stag
#

if u dont wanna go thru the hassle of putting in fans and stuff

#

firdt thing

snow zodiac
#

Putting in fans isn’t a hassle

river stag
#

if they hv rgb

#

too many wires overwhelm ppl

snow zodiac
#

It’s like 2 or 3

#

Not that bad

river stag
#

yea true

#

but some ppl dont know

snow zodiac
#

Plus, just don’t get rgb

wide glade
#

i over clock my r9 to 1119 and 1178 max

weary pine
#

Ok my nzxt h510 power button is blinking on and off

#

Never done that before

wide glade
#

and yes way the ram was for 68$ cpu+ mobo 100$ r9 90$ i got 8tb for free and brought a 2tb new for 30$ and the psu was 20$ and cooler 15

#

and don't worry i stress tested for about 8 hours and psu had no problem with it (mining)

#

its 5 years old by now, but its a gpu :)
@tender root still decent and runs fine

muted wyvern
#

would ryzen gen 3 be as bad as the nvidia gpu releases?

#

zen*

drowsy oracle
#

Probably not

muted wyvern
#

are people lining up at local MC stores? hopeful to get one, I'll try to come early lol

snow zodiac
#

It’ll sell out in 5 minutes instead of 10 seconds

muted wyvern
#

lol

drowsy oracle
#

Lol

wide glade
#

lol

#

why not wait a month or 2

drowsy oracle
#

Coz I'm literally dying of not having a pc :(

#

I wanna cry

snow zodiac
#

Same

#

4 months is a long time

#

2 more would be suffrage and disparity

wide glade
#

lmao

#

just buidl a cheap one like i did

#

i made a cheap one cause so i can wait till 6800xt is out and zen 3

#

the parts im going to keep i got new parts like hdd psu cpu cooler and ram

snow zodiac
#

Too late now

#

We’re weeks away

wide glade
#

months for me

snow zodiac
#

Zen 3 is tomorrow and 6000 is only a few weeks away

#

4000d airflow for 69 instead of 79 worth it?

languid ether
#

it will be almost as powerful as nvidia rtx 3080

#

says the ceo of ati

ebon osprey
#

anyone has a good recommendation for psu for rtx 3080 and ryzen 5900x/5950x? is seasonic focus gx-850w good enough?

wide glade
#

Yeah but have to wait for stable supply

#

Corsair 1600 w PSU?

static aspen
#

Does anyone know of a video or review for the corsair 4000x for thermals?

elfin trout
#

@static aspen I think GN tested it in their 4000d video

static aspen
#

they did the 4000d

#

but that has only 2 fans plus I was looking to see how the rgb fans in the x performed

#

found one with Hardware Canucks

elfin trout
#

ah yea they didn't do 4000x temp testing

static aspen
#

mind if I dm you idk how strict the owning images thing here is

elfin trout
#

I don't think that's that strict xD

#

sure if you want to

static aspen
#

ahh makes sense

rich hazel
scenic lance
#

Does anyone know where I can get the Ryzen 9 5900 tmmr? Like online

elfin trout
#

yes

#

it's an amazing case

scenic lance
#

for like a $130ish budget. What would be the best psu that i could get? It has to be atx

surreal magnet
#

up to you

#

psu modularity is for convenience,

#

nope

#

what GPU are you thinking of getting

#

@scenic lance

#

come baaaaack

#

nice

#

so the psu and ssd are mediocre

#

and are you getting the 5600x?

#

as long as its bronze and up, then efficiency doesnt matter

#

not really

#

theres more to psus than efficiency ratings

#

so the other issue is that we dont know the sustained and peak power consumption of the 6800

#

so its hard to pick a psu

#

when you dont know what psu the gpu needs

#

those are marketing terms from amd, correct?

#

until someone actually has the card in their hands and does proper testing, i never believe anything amd or nvidia say

#

so thats what its at now

#

the 3070, although hard to get, is only 500

#

so it just depends on how the 6800 performs in comparison

snow zodiac
#

We literally don’t know either of those for sure

tender root
#

@scenic lance could you tone it down on the make believe fairy tail dreams?

#

6800 is not out yet

snow zodiac
#

We have no idea if they actually have stock

tender root
#

so, "declaring that it is better" = making things up

snow zodiac
#

And need to see tests

tender root
#

"the 6800 is quite better than the 3070 from what i've seen"

snow zodiac
#

You said quite better

tender root
#

your words

snow zodiac
#

Even worse

tender root
#

then say it like you actually meant it

#

not trying to jump on you @scenic lance

#

but the problem is that IF your comment stands unchallenged, someone else here is going to parrot it back

surreal magnet
#

in some categories like (stock, performance, power per watt,) it is doing better compared to what nvidia had
@scenic lance source?

tender root
#

and "that" is a problem

surreal magnet
#

cuz stock rn is NIL

#

and there are no reviews

#

so

tender root
#

and as Sassy said. where is the source?

#

just send me a dm.

#

on behalf of @scenic lance

#

that is the standard/logical message

#

there are no actual numbers in that

#

its AMD's partner manager doing their job in trying to control the narrative

inland pond
#

td 500 mesh or the lian li lancool 2

whichever you like the look of more

uncut stump
#

is the Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L mATX good?

#

like is airflow okay clearance size

surreal magnet
#

for low heat output components its fine

#

like 3400g

#

i would put a 1660 super in there

#

airflow sucks tho

#

in a bad way

uncut stump
surreal magnet
#

it does

#

more metal than holes

#

plus the crappy filters

uncut stump
#

do you have a better cheap matx case in mind?

surreal magnet
#

yes, of course

uncut stump
#

what would it be?

surreal magnet
#

i will go get links

full inlet
#

Oh goodie

surreal magnet
uncut stump
#

oh the mb311l

surreal magnet
uncut stump
#

mb311l comes with 2 front fans right?

surreal magnet
uncut stump
#

like are they 140?

surreal magnet
#

these all come with fans

uncut stump
#

the mb311l looks and probably is good right?

full inlet
#

There’s better diypc ones

uncut stump
#

sadly its a bit too expensive for me in Canada

#

tho i the mb600l

#

found*

#

wait shiz its atx

harsh bridge
#

any be quiet! owners?

uncut stump
#

theres the q300l TUF

tender root
#

@harsh bridge ask away?

uncut stump
#

i had be quiet! fans once

#

they were not quiet

#

nor did they work after a month

harsh bridge
#

how easy are they to build/work in?

random ruin
#

is the Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L mATX good?
@uncut stump it's good for it's price

#

I have one and it does it's job

dark solar
#

I need a new case but I am so conflicted on what to get

worldly dust
#

is there a big budget?

#

I'll just get this out the way most people will recommend the p400a

dark solar
#

I need on that can be used for good water cooling, and I'm reusing my parts I already have, a 360 and 280 are the rads I already have and I am gonna move them to my new build

#

My define r5 has a problem with the button and I feel like I need something more with airflow for the cooling

#

But the p400a might be good option

#

Idk. I just want something that's nice looking and can water cool easy

scenic lance
#

does anyone know a good case that supports DVD

surreal magnet
#

good as in quality or good as in cheap

scenic lance
#

good airflow

surreal magnet
#

mATX

scenic lance
#

can i fit 2 140mm fans in the front in that case or not

scenic lance
#

@scenic lance not that case get a nr600 instead lol
@toxic dome does it have good airflow and have a DVD

gray oak
#

what would be the best suggestion for an all black case nowadays, full size atx

#

i was considering the razer tomahawk, but i feel like that would be ill advised

scenic lance
#

im not sure if it would work but what if i just use a normal case with no DVD shroud/place to hold the dvd player in. And just plug in all the cables for the dvd player and put it in my case and burn a dvd than pull all cables out of the dvd and take the dvd player out again

#

like placing the dvd player loose on the psu shroud

#

its really ghetto but im not sure if it would work

gray oak
#

i mean, what are you looking to use the build for?

scenic lance
#

family computer i will be using the dvd to sometimes put new songs on a dvd for in the car when we drive to a different country and also as gaming pc

#

we only put new songs on the dvd every few years

worldly dust
#

heres a full tower

#

could put like 2 computers in there lol

gray oak
#

any reason that you can't go full tower?

scenic lance
#

nope

worldly dust
#

nope

#

better airflow just by size

gray oak
#

then yeah, go for a full for airflow, drive mount, and just upgradability

worldly dust
#

definately function over form

gray oak
#

yo someone i know has one of those and uses it like a server bc of the amount of airflow

worldly dust
#

yeah they are great other than looks

#

real handles removable motherboard tray two levels

gray oak
#

exactly, function over form

worldly dust
#

and most of mine face backwards so i can reach the i/o panels lol

static aspen
#

Form and function 🤞

gray oak
#

facts

worldly dust
#

it is a nice aesthetic cube shape

static aspen
#

Could always stack a printer on top of that case

#

Make use of vertical space

worldly dust
#

actually funny you mention that because they actually stack on top of each other!!! its indented on the bottom and makes a air gap for the top fan lol

gray oak
#

that is actually really cool

main marlin
#

Im looking for a case with good airflow and a sleek design, any suggestions?

static aspen
#

Price?

main marlin
#

no real budget but obviously nothing crazy

worldly dust
#

like yesterday linus made a video on LTT where they picked the top rated case on new egg and they used mine lol

static aspen
#

I saw that they have a giveaway for it

worldly dust
#

p400a is always a solid option

static aspen
#

4000d airflow

gray oak
#

nice, and same as O.o, a full black, no budget

worldly dust
#

yeah I signed up for it so i could have another one

static aspen
#

I couldn't sign up for it

#

Ill have to try on my laptop

main marlin
#

thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look at them

#

Do you know if there's space to fit a 360 rad on the top of the 4000d?

static aspen
#

No

#

I'll check but I think max is 240 on top

gray oak
#

damn that's a nice case

main marlin
#

damn I think the 4000d could be the best case out rn if there was 360 rad on the top

static aspen
#

@main marlin 280 for top rad

elfin trout
#

TD500 mesh

static aspen
#

^

elfin trout
#

it has 360 top rad :D

main marlin
#

yeah thanks I just saw the dimensions for it GeneRic

elfin trout
#

Personally TD500 mesh is best option for most consumer builds >:D

main marlin
#

will check out the it out 👍

static aspen
#

Ty for that o was trying to find the td500 in chat here to confirm

elfin trout
#

Gamers nexus did a review

#

it did well

#

what

#

how is 280>360

#

:P

main marlin
#

^ lol

elfin trout
#

like yes a good 280mm aio is better than a bad 360mm aio

#

@toxic dome I invite you to look at GN testing

#

You think I haven't looked?

#

:P

#

So you got any sources to respond with?

#

:P

#

Ig you've never watched GN testing

#

that makes sense

gray oak
#

but he was saying a bad 360 vs a good 240

elfin trout
#

Welp

#

360mm Arctic freezer ii

#

that's my suggestion like always

#

nothing less

#

ek-aio is acceptable tho

gray oak
#

like a cheap $50 360 vs a 180$ 240

elfin trout
#

but expensive

#

Yes

gray oak
#

what about a kraken with artic fans?

#

or ek fans even?

elfin trout
#

Why would someone test that smh

#

there's no point

gray oak
#

fair enough

elfin trout
#

half of the performance comes from the radiator design

#

they don't use the same radiator

minor portalBOT
#
zsharpnif#5818 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

gray oak
#

fair point,

#

what would you suggest for a rgb 360 aio?

#

expensive

#

but if you go rgb

#

you're going to spend a ton anyways

#

so why not get something that performs really nicely

main marlin
elfin trout
#

who cares

#

not moi

gray oak
#

i like the screen on the kraken tho, is there any others that do that that you would suggest?

elfin trout
#

no

gray oak
#

damn it

elfin trout
#

Screen is overrated

#

bad

gray oak
#

that was kinda the only selling point for me

elfin trout
#

it's overrated

#

don't get it

gray oak
#

yeah, i could get one of the tiny screens

elfin trout
#

there's no reason to smh

gray oak
#

and im guessing its a bad idea to mix radiators with coolers?

elfin trout
#

what

gray oak
#

like, use a kraken block with ek radiator

#

is bad idea?

elfin trout
#

why

#

and how the hell

#

might as well do custom loop lmfao

#

hell

gray oak
#

cool screen and good radiator

elfin trout
#

you have to do custom loop if you're gonna do that

#

@gray oak Performance comes from a crap ton of design choices

gray oak
#

darn, that seems like even more

elfin trout
#

for example

#

Arctic freezer ii uses a high fin density radiator so they use their P12 fans that are designed for pressure to get that nice performance

gray oak
#

neato

elfin trout
#

custom loop is annoying

#

my suggestion is grab an arctic freezer ii 360mm and call it a day

#

how often are you going to be staring at your CPU block anyways

gray oak
#

not too often, but i still want it to look neat,

#

i guess an ek 360 would be nice, and which one was it that had the rgb?

elfin trout
#

ek aio

#

I have a NH-D15

gray oak
#

oh, are they compatible with razer chroma, bc that's what i use to control lighting rn

elfin trout
#

and I'm not looking back

#

look

#

rgb software can kill themselves

#

idc

#

all of them suck

gray oak
#

oof, ouchie

elfin trout
#

the thing with aircoolers is that

gray oak
#

yeah, ig, but also what about fan capacities and air coolers size?

elfin trout
#

even if the fan fails after a decade

#

the heatsink is still a heatsink

#

it sinks heat

#

mhm

#

when your AIO pump fail

#

it's a horrible idea to try and use it

#

air cooler fan die?

#

just reduced airflow, continue going

gray oak
#

yeah, i suppose

elfin trout
#

more points of failure for aios too

#

pump, tube, fans.

#

instead of just fans

gray oak
#

i just like the look of the aio's compared to a big block on the cpu

elfin trout
#

big block is nice

#

it's comforting

gray oak
#

bigger block means smaller number]

elfin trout
#

umk

#

I kinda want nr200

#

tbh I need to refresh my knowledge on itx cases

#

it's too expensive

#

nachos gave me some to look at a while ago

#

it was like 300$ a case

gray oak
#

damn

main marlin
#

anyone got an opinion on the inwin 925?

gray oak
#

overall looks good to me, but id just be concerned about dust and particles getting in

main marlin
#

yeah i've been doing a lot of research into it and I don't think I've found a single person who has disliked the design but almost everyone has had something negative to say about the functionality

gray oak
#

opinions on the razer tomahawk?

#

wdym by functionality

main marlin
#

like fans covering the rear io

gray oak
#

yeah it looks like your mobo ports are right by the rear fans, that's gotta be a hassle for cable management, as well as not many cabble routes

#

yeah, i can see how that's not too great

main marlin
#

also the fact that there's barely enough clearance for a 360 rad on the top

#

if at all

gray oak
#

that's a tough one, corsair and evga are decent, but id wait and ask someone else who knows a bit more i might be wrong

#

@elfin trout what's your suggestion

elfin trout
#

hm

#

@scenic lance

#

ignore the brand

#

buy a PSU for the model

gray oak
#

like, wattage and rating

#

yeah, that's pretty decent, keep above 650 an usually go for gold or around there

elfin trout
#

NE zen gold?

#

it's decent

#

bit better than like a EVGA BR but nowhere near top of the line

#

mhm

#

no

#

more like protections, ripple, warranty, that kinda stuff

#

the more I look into things

#

the less LTT is reliable for information on stuff lel
But at least their community is good

#

I mean the testing he does is...

#

questionable

#

when I watch GN

#

lel

snow zodiac
#

LTT is funny, but that’s it

elfin trout
#

LTT is fun

#

I agree, weird tech and all

#

but I don't really like them for like testing coverage

scenic lance
#

How about bitwit

#

I like his video's more than ltt

elfin trout
#

I don't watch him

#

seems fine to me

#

GN is enough for me

#

and reading TPU articles

scenic lance
#

His pc building tutorial is better than ltt's

elfin trout
#

No I know I've seen bitwit

#

I don't actively follow his channel

#

that's what I mean by I don't watch bitwit

#

if you can only watch 1 GN video

#

I suggest this

#

GN gets deep, and it's deep enough for me, but there's people that dive even deeper into tech, I just haven't gotten far enough to really like em tho.

snow zodiac
#

Watching it now

elfin trout
#

watching GN is suggested at 1.25x or 1.5x speed

#

I listen to it at 1x speed at the background, or 1.25x when I'm actively watching it

#

he goes through a lot of info

#

TD500 mesh best case imo >:D

gray oak
#

nice

elfin trout
#

hm?

#

lancool ii?

#

I like td500 mesh better for 360mm top rad support

#

but lancool ii mesh is good too

#

dunno

#

but anyways

#

if you have time

#

watching that GN vid is very good

#

H500 mesh is actually pretty nice imo

#

I like it

#

but the "thiccness" isn't for everyone

#

ohh 2019 best cases?

#

P400a was on top

#

But yea TD500 mesh released after that post

gray oak
#

debating between these two

#

or

elfin trout
#

Out of those two, lancool ii

gray oak
#

both are really good, and both have almost the same fan support, as well as cost about the same

elfin trout
#

but I'd also just get a Coolermaster TD500 mesh

#

:)

gray oak
#

alrighty, sweet

elfin trout
#

make sure it's the mesh version

gray oak
#

would you be able to help me build a new pc, i have a few of the parts thought out and just need help finishing it off

elfin trout
#

sure

#

oh the H500?

#

oh yea it was like 85$

gray oak
#

so one of those three cases, the two i linked or the td500 mesh

elfin trout
#

it's really sweet at 85$

#

2x200mm is a unique look

gray oak
#

ill put iot all in one message then

elfin trout
#

@scenic lance thought you were talking about TD500 mesh, H500 comes with a mesh front panel or a plastic panel that you can choose which one you want

#

H500 no-suffix

gray oak
#

alrighty, ill make one and link it and could you help me figure out the best combination?

elfin trout
#

sure

#

at first yea

#

but I personally love the H500 for the unique 2x200mm fan look

#

and the handle

#

and good thermals

#

it's not a chart topper, but it's in the upper like 30%

#

w mesh

#

it comes with mesh iirc

#

I actually really wanted one for myself

#

hell, look at this GN chart for GPU temps, beats P400a and H500 lel

📎 unknown.png
#

it does one sec

#

that's fine

#

mhm

#

amp is A tier

#

oh wait a sec

#

B550 phantom gaming 4/ac

#

gotta swap that out

#

for some reason the ac version takes off one of the M.2 key B/M slots

#

uh?

#

mATX is technically easier to install

#

because less screws

#

mATX is just ATX

#

with the bottom x16 and x4 slots taken off

#

everything else is the same

#

like ITX is where it gets a bit weird

#

How tf do I get a pc part picker list to stay

#

I hate pc part picker now

elfin trout

wdym

#

@snow zodiac save

snow zodiac
#

Yeah I don’t wanna make an account

#

I hate making new accounts for things

static aspen

Hmm

#

You can always send the link on the left without saving

elfin trout
#

yea

#

you see that link

#

copy paste

#

the link stays

gray oak
static aspen
#

And no account needed for that link

elfin trout
#

@snow zodiac basically you could use some other random service to store the links

snow zodiac
#

I made an account

#

I’m saving it now

elfin trout

what the

interesting list
