[storm umbra]

someone posted a spam link

this

thx

[limber crane]

i see, build boi said you wont notice the difference, but i dont know much about ram speed/latency

[rigid sinew]

thanks for letting me know

[storm umbra]

np

[rancid juniper]

i mean, its a bit cheaper than what he posted

i think for every 400mhz + 2CL the latency are near identical

[limber crane]

hmm, i was planning to do 6k/cl30 but the 6400/cl32 is $1 more

[tranquil pebble]

for moderators, it is a game of whack a mole out there, but the moles are trolls and spammers

[limber crane]

happens at least 2-3 times a day

[tranquil pebble]

more spammers than trolls though, at least in this server

[limber crane]

usually its a steam gift code though

[limber crane]

Latency (ns) = (CL / Frequency) * 2000

6000MHz CL30 → (30 / 6000) * 2000 = 10ns
6400MHz CL32 → (32 / 6400) * 2000 = 10ns

In this case, the total latency is virtually the same.

[rancid juniper]

guess i was right

[limber crane]

Google says 6000/cl30 is usually the sweet spot for AMD chips, but 6400/cl32 might be a bit more future proof

[tranquil pebble]

something tells me this is the simplified version and there is more to it than this

[rancid juniper]

so then again, i'd pick one that has higher advertised speeds

because at the end of the day you can tweak it

[tranquil pebble]

I am not likely going to go higher than 5600 MHz because I have a 96 GB kit of RAM lol

[worthy meteor]

6000c30 is the lazy it'll work option, it'll OC similarly to 6400c32, 6400c32 may take some tuning to become stable

is this a bad motherboard

[dense locust]

8000 MHz CL01

[storm umbra]

if their is something better for my build thats cheaper pls lmk

[rancid juniper]

ULTRA LOW LATENCY GAMING

igpus love this one

[tranquil pebble]

1 MHz CL999

(might as well use an SD card as RAM at that point)

[dense locust]

Some motherboards don’t even boot at 8000mhz

[tranquil pebble]

At those speeds, the trace lengths between CPU and RAM really matter

[dense locust]

You better hope you can update the bios without a cpu

[storm umbra]

is their a better one lol

ive been trying to find a good mobo all day

[dense locust]

Define good

[tranquil pebble]

That board has a flash bios button

[storm umbra]

lol

[dense locust]

For that price I’m surprised

Is that just industry standard now?

[storm umbra]

is that good or bad?

[worthy meteor]

Flashback is an important feature to have around

[dense locust]

You can update the bios to support 9000 series

[tranquil pebble]

Good, you want that

[tranquil pebble]

dare I say sometimes even critical

[dense locust]

I’m glad my broken cpu worked enough to flash a new bios

[honest birch]

galax not going anywhere lol

[worthy meteor]

Something like 70% of recent mobos has flashback now

Relatively common nowadays but still good to look out for

[honest birch]

bc new games ARE A S S

[tranquil pebble]

so I can now just say that any mobo without flashback sucks lol

for modern chipsets anyway

[dense locust]

I wanna get the nova

[honest birch]

x870e or z790?

[dense locust]

Maybe if I flash before I install the 9800 it’ll be fine

[honest birch]

it was only a few 9800X3D, not all were effected, they already fixed with bios update

[tranquil pebble]

I still need to set up my 9800x3d and B650 Tomahawk

[storm umbra]

so is my otherboard a good option ro no

[dense locust]

Which is why I said flash before I install the cpu

[dense locust]

Unless they ship with the new bios

[honest birch]

🤢

[rancid juniper]

💀

[honest birch]

only pro-a and up are decent

the x is poo

if u want ram oc the hdv was better

[dense locust]

I think I finally have my case and motherboard chosen

[honest birch]

whats ur budget for the build?

[sweet phoenix]

yes

[dense locust]

Do I buy a $220 case because it has the blue color I want

[storm umbra]

budget is a funny word

less than 2100

[limber crane]

this is all i got

[sweet phoenix]

the -x is passable for a low end build

like a 7600/x

[honest birch]

u from the US?

[storm umbra]

i cant spend more than 150 on mobo

yes

[honest birch]

whys that

[sweet phoenix]

b650 eagle ax is good

[storm umbra]

everything else is already too pricey

[sweet phoenix]

$160

[tranquil pebble]

$220 is a high enough price that it better be a full tower lol

[sweet phoenix]

you can do a full 9800x3d/9070xt build for well under $2100, can you link your build?

[limber crane]

i dont have any experience manipulating ram, probably why i would choose the lazy option lol

[honest birch]

u can legit get a 9070 xt 9800x3d build for $1600, assuming msrp on the 9070 xt sooo idk wym its already too much u not spending money in the right places

[storm umbra]

that would take some time to set up, ill send it in a bit

[dense locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honest birch]

i just did one

[lucid bay]

Could someone assist really quickly?

[dense locust]

It’ll go with my slime theme

[honest birch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/44D9yW example

[lucid bay]

My GPU (GTX 1070) won’t show display but is turned on and fans are spinning, but when swapped with an R9 380 it displays just fine

[lucid bay]

I’ve checked everything

[storm umbra]

why an expensive mobo?

[dense locust]

Does it boot in safe mode

[honest birch]

i got a b650p from msi for $100

ez

[lucid bay]

Idk how to get to that

[rancid juniper]

🤔

[honest birch]

livemixer one of the best, my go to board

[dense locust]

Turn on and off the pc it should boot into safe mode automatically after the third boot

[dense locust]

89.95 with coupon

[rancid juniper]

😳

[honest birch]

why not just get a better board for the same price

[dense locust]

Ok where better board at same price

[rancid juniper]

send a better board at $89.99

[lone mango]

Wow thats a lot of vrm

[honest birch]

i legit see an eagle ax for $95 lol

[dense locust]

Then send

[rancid juniper]

pic

[storm umbra]

is cl32 good for ram

[honest birch]

no heatsink bad

[storm umbra]

i thought cl30 was better

[honest birch]

6400 cl32 is good for zen5 yes

[rancid juniper]

yuh if its at 6400

[storm umbra]

no aio?

[dense locust]

[frigid stag]

That’s not even expensive for a board these days

[honest birch]

it was copy pasted from a $1600 build i did, cpu doesnt need one, u can get one for aesthetic if u want

[dense locust]

What’s an aio got to do with ram

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y7pCgn

[storm umbra]

im asking abt his build

[honest birch]

talking about a list

[frigid stag]

120mm nzxt aio diy’d for water cooled ram

[dense locust]

How often do aio clog anyways

[honest birch]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/335868031128

[frigid stag]

You can actually do it. You just need like a hacksaw and some other things

Idk how to do it off the top of my head. Prolly need to google

[dense locust]

Not same price

[honest birch]

its $5 more

ur point?

thats nothing

for a better board

lol

[lone mango]

It is not common

[dense locust]

Ok then you give me $5 since it’s so worthless/j

[honest birch]

[real zenith]

yo

bro

Omg

[dense locust]

I guess it’s just badly built aios

[real zenith]

my gpu is turning on

[dense locust]

In safe mode?

[storm umbra]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9GG23K9?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 vs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B25ML2FH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[real zenith]

but it’s not showing up on my control panel

[storm umbra]

which is better

[dense locust]

Or

What

[real zenith]

it’s not showing up on my control panel and my games r super laggy

[honest birch]

vp4300L is one of the best value ssds, p3 plus is mid

[real zenith]

only using my gpu

[dense locust]

Do you have drivers installed

[real zenith]

yes

it was out of no where

[honest birch]

https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/10491/patriot-viper-vp4300-lite-2tb-ssd-supremely-powerful-value/index.html

[real zenith]

I came back home and it was like that

[storm umbra]

would getting the vp as 2tb make me have to install 4 chips?

[honest birch]

wdym?

[storm umbra]

it says x4 ssd

[honest birch]

no

thats how many lanes it uses

[storm umbra]

ah

[honest birch]

from the motherboard

[dense locust]

This usually means it’s running with no drivers try reinstalling them

[limber crane]

how does it compare to a teamgroup mp44l?

[storm umbra]

does the motherboard u reccomended work with it tho?

as 2tb

[sweet phoenix]

spec wise better, functionally it'll be the same for games

[honest birch]

well yeah

[storm umbra]

ight just wondering :))

ty

[honest birch]

the V4 is out btw

[honest birch]

np

[sweet phoenix]

oh for the aio?

[dense locust]

[honest birch]

look at it

good ssd all around lol

[limber crane]

only $6 more for the viper, worth swapping to that over the teamgroup?

[honest birch]

MP44L got nerfed last i checked

they hw swapped

[limber crane]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9Y48V73?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

This is the one ive been looking at, but dont mind a $6 increase to the viper

[dense locust]

Spend $600 on a 4tb Samsung PCIE gen 5 drive
You will regret your decision

[sweet phoenix]

same difference, up to you

[honest birch]

yes, has an external pump, up to 6400rpm

already tested the 240mm and it performs very well even with the meh fans

[storm umbra]

anyone know a good 1440p monitor that is around 100-160 usd

[honest birch]

id try to get the gigabyte 240hz one, last i saw was $230

[storm umbra]

u mean this? https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GS27Q-2560x1440-FreeSync-Premium/dp/B0CYK4DQD7/ref=asc_df_B0CYK4DQD7?mcid=e68155abc8663e6a9fac97769cd195d7&hvocijid=11050728964311757459-B0CYK4DQD7-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11050728964311757459&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033333&hvtargid=pla-2281435178618&th=1

im just looking for something a lot cheaper tbh

Ok. Thanks, bacca

[sweet phoenix]

Np

[storm umbra]

what do u think of the pc case i picked https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DQPQDCLB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?smid=A2Y7PYT7XZVQ53&psc=1

i just like the vibe tbh

[sweet phoenix]

it's fine

[honest birch]

i bought a 6950 xt ocf for $400 oh how the market has TANKED

imo wouldnt buy

😭

[sweet phoenix]

hes selling

[honest birch]

oh nvm

[sweet phoenix]

500 is average market price for one atm

[honest birch]

i thought he was buying

[sweet phoenix]

maybe higher since it's evga and people overpay for evga 30 series since it's their last gen

[dense locust]

Always overcharge so when people ask for less it’s what you wanted originally

[honest birch]

evga gave out the 4090 models

[sweet phoenix]

true

[honest birch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8hfxFT/thermaltake-view-380-argb-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-1z2-00m1wn-00

🤷

personally

[storm umbra]

for me i dont wanna cheap out on the case

[honest birch]

i mean you arent

the TT id argue is better lol

[storm umbra]

im fine with paying a bit more :

[storm umbra]

btw the 6070xt i bought was a more expensive one

[dense locust]

More expensive =/= better

[storm umbra]

fr

i bought the sapphire nitro+

it came with a bundle

with the psu i needed

[dense locust]

Isn’t that the one with the 12vhpwr

[storm umbra]

i think

[dense locust]

I love fire cables

[storm umbra]

idk computer stuff like that

https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/nitro-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16g-gddr6

its this

[honest birch]

it prevents damage to the card, but still has the fire issue

so i guess at least RMA would be possible

lol

[dense locust]

Not really

[honest birch]

with the fuses it does, it still has the same issue where all 12 pins are on one 12v rails instead of 6+6

its so dumb

nvidia did the same thing AGAIN as well

[honest birch]

one of the best models

higher power limit

[dense locust]

That’s a requirement for the spec

[honest birch]

correct

and its also the problem

[dense locust]

ASUS actually breaks the spec on their astral

Which is funny

Good?

[turbid violet]

Like I am using a old Microsoft wireless 3050 keyboard and I feel as if it's more comfortable and easier to game with then a mechanical one.

[wise wigeon]

Because it’s what you’re used to

[turbid violet]

Like I have tiny fingers but I feel as if they slide with ease while I game.

[wise wigeon]

I mean if it’s what you like it’s what you like

[turbid violet]

I need a new keyboard for a new gaming PC I bought but I don't want a bulk mechanical keyboard that has the caps sticking out super wide or thick.

[wise wigeon]

People like the tactile feel and the sound of mechanical keyboards

[honest birch]

u must got a really bad mechanical keyboard lol

[wise wigeon]

Eh it’s not meant for everyone

[honest birch]

6700 xt same price on ebay, better card

6750 gre is just a 6700 10gb

[wise wigeon]

I’m sure there is some Apple head who prefers Apple keyboards over a nice mechanical

[honest birch]

maybe for typing

[wise wigeon]

It’s all preferences in the end

[turbid violet]

I never used one. I have always used office keyboards and when I tried the mechanical ones at my college, I found my typing speed was super slow and wonky.

[honest birch]

were they linear or tactile?

i assume they were not lubed either

[turbid violet]

Not sure. It was some sort of MSI and I think they said it was mechanical.

[honest birch]

oh yeah those are buns lol

[wise wigeon]

Msi isn’t great with peripherals

[turbid violet]

I do want to know if this is a good keyboard tho as I really just need one and kinda am desperate due to a budget limit.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09TZWLFLY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A39CA0TF392IL&th=1

[wise wigeon]

Why don’t you go to a Walmart or something that has em on display and have a feel

[turbid violet]

I don't think my walmart does that as I live in a small town... Most of everything at any walmart now has everything behind a lock box where you need to get a store associate to help you.

[lone mango]

This goes hard

[acoustic palm]

aint this my monitor

360hz oled for $550 is a pretty good deal

[acoustic palm]

idh that kinda money

😦

[lone mango]

Micro center has a XV272U which is one number higher than the one you sent

I assume this is a slightly better model

[sweet phoenix]

is that the 240hz version?

i think it has some doa panel issues

[dense locust]

Number go up

[lone mango]

Nah also 180

[sweet phoenix]

link it rq

[lone mango]

Probably a refresh of it or something

There is also a XV273U

do i want it enabled or disabled

What is considered the most comfortable keyboard by cap wise?

thats something you gotta feel for yourself

[limber crane]

is there any good reason to go over 32gb ram for just gaming?

[sweet phoenix]

Cities skyline

[limber crane]

is it worth an extra $45 to go from 2x16 to 2x24?

[velvet summit]

beamng drive

[limber crane]

lol i have no idea what that means

[dusk knot]

He genuinely looks dead lol

[velvet summit]

lmao

[young pulsar]

hey can someone pick me some parts out

gpu and case

[velvet summit]

it's a driving simulator, with softbody physics

i frequently max out 32gb in it, and even some maps crash from out of memory

most games you'll probably be fine with 32gb but personally spending 45 may be worth it

[limber crane]

is 48 a weird in-between? do most people just go from 32 to 64 and skip 48?

[velvet summit]

especially with how little optimization devs are doing nowadays

48gb (2x24gb) is the largest capacity you can go without any issues with clocks or such

something about higher capacities overloading the imc or whatever falcie said

[limber crane]

maybe ill spend a little more and grab 48 then, just for a little extra overhead

what are 'these' referring to?

[honest birch]

g.skill has the first ones coming out soon

they already have the 2x16 6000 cl26 kits out

and theyre better than even the 8200 cl38 kits

[dense locust]

How much will these cost

[honest birch]

which used to be best

[solemn lintel]

anyone have any good mouse suggestions

[honest birch]

pulsar is my go to for peripherals

[dense locust]

Mouses are really dependent on what you need it for

[honest birch]

can look at their site

[limber crane]

and hand size, grip type

[sweet phoenix]

Weight preference

[solemn lintel]

I have pretty above average hands, idk what my grip type is

I just want 2 side buttons lmao

[sweet phoenix]

Do you rest your palm on your mouse?

[solemn lintel]

I think so

[sweet phoenix]

Or do you just use your fingers in a claw type grip

[honest birch]

palm grip superiority

[pliant berry]

I just bought a keychron m6

[sweet phoenix]

Most people use palm grip

[limber crane]

hmm those gskill arent till May, will depend on when my GPU shows up

[sweet phoenix]

From what I've seen

[honest birch]

pulsar caters to palm grip users

they have large size mice too

and small

[storm umbra]

[honest birch]

no lol

[sweet phoenix]

No

That is an Intel motherboard

[solemn lintel]

will large be too big, my hands aren't like huge

[honest birch]

u can legit see it says intel

[sweet phoenix]

Specifically for core ultra

[limber crane]

werent you complaining about expensive motherboards earlier?

[storm umbra]

asking for a friend not mew

[honest birch]

the medium size is perfect for most

[sweet phoenix]

^ medium will also be lighter

[limber crane]

crazy the pulsar mice look like the stuff that comes with our thin clients at work, nice to see a less obnoxious design

[solemn lintel]

do they have 2 side buttons

[honest birch]

ya

[solemn lintel]

I hate wireless 😡

[honest birch]

wireless mice are much better than they used to be

cant tell a difference now

between wired and wireless

[pliant berry]

one of my friends had a complaint about pulsar mice but ikr what it was

[honest birch]

latency

[limber crane]

only $1700 guys, for an eye sore of a card

[honest birch]

ive had 3 and they are by far the best mice ive used, same with their HE keyboard

[pliant berry]

apparently he said the latency is worse than competitors but idk I doubt it's really by much

[idle nexus]

how'd ya break it? lol

[idle nexus]

ya can't imagine that's going down lol

[dense locust]

Single bent pin

[idle nexus]

ah jeez

did it break off?

[honest birch]

it feels just as fast as all my wired mice, they have brand new models too anyway

🤷

[idle nexus]

ig not since you said "bent"

[honest birch]

i assume he had like the v2 or something

[pliant berry]

ehh I wouldn't worry regardless. my friend doesn't go by feel only charts and I can't remember a time that he isn't looking for a new mouse lmao

[limber crane]

im ashamed i only learned of them a few weeks ago

[idle nexus]

I feel like they do very little to make themselves known in the US at least

[honest birch]

oh hes one of those guys lol, i like mice but i have like 10

that ive tested

[limber crane]

I dont even know where to buy the obscure brands like Galax or Pallit or the waifu brand

[idle nexus]

I really like my galax gpu but the software is kinda meh

lol damn I can't remember the waifu brand off the top of my head rn but I know exactly what you're talking about

they have those sakura cards or whatever

[sweet phoenix]

Yeston

?

[idle nexus]

some have like scent in them

haha yes

[idle nexus]

Galax finally has an amazon store I think

[sweet phoenix]

Lmao wtf is that

[limber crane]

I have opinions on the kind of people who buy these cards but it isnt very nice lol

[sweet phoenix]

There's some of them that look decent

But the top picture you sent is just genuinely ugly as hell

[pliant berry]

the last gpu I will ever need

[limber crane]

themed fans too

[storm umbra]

i can smell the kind of person that would buy this

https://tenor.com/view/discord-mod-discord-dancing-guy-cringe-gif-3173535023585082338

[limber crane]

aio to round out the waifu bonanza

[limber crane]

something like that, but i find that people who are this deep into fake women are all over the spectrum of looks

i know some mega unhealthy skinny types who go hard for it

[honest birch]

any of them are really, its just what u prefer

[solemn lintel]

do mouse pads matter at all or not really

[sweet phoenix]

I'd get one with a wrist rest

[dusk knot]

not 9070xt

[sweet phoenix]

I know

Was just some alternatives

[dusk knot]

why does the 9070 exist

[limber crane]

to upsell the xt

[acoustic palm]

I am so glad I impulse bought my deal

I get reminded of it every day

[storm umbra]

you bought the 9070?

the non xt?

[acoustic palm]

I bought a 9070xt + psu bundle for 800

[storm umbra]

[acoustic palm]

Less than a week ago

[storm umbra]

would buying a pc with a 9070xt in it be a bad idea

im that desperate

[sweet phoenix]

Depends on the build

[storm umbra]

this is the cheapest i saw

[sweet phoenix]

It's alr

Definitely overpriced but thats a given

[rancid juniper]

More frames win games ig

[storm umbra]

how much is it overpriced

[sweet phoenix]

Similar build with a $700 9070xt is probably around 1500

[storm umbra]

jesus

[sweet phoenix]

You could buy this 4080 for $900 and do a build within your budget

[storm umbra]

not a big nvidia fan

[sweet phoenix]

Probably still stay around $1800

[storm umbra]

ty for telling me

[idle nexus]

npnp

[idle nexus]

supposedly disabling HDCP helps with latency but heck if I know

& disabling powerdown for your RAM

[lone mango]

939 for the puse

pulse

[idle nexus]

lock pages in memory might help too since stuff stays in RAM instead of being moved to page file

[lone mango]

Thats like 60% over what it launched at

[idle nexus]

not sure that actually does anything except for ycruncher

[dense locust]

Chat what should I buy first
Case
Ram
Or motherboard

[misty sparrow]

Well, what kind of problems are you having

case too small? ram size too small? Motherboard doesn’t support new chipset?

[dense locust]

I have a 9800x3d with no other parts

[idle nexus]

dunno if it actually helps latency but I do both anyway lol

[dense locust]

I’m upgrading platforms

[misty sparrow]

Hm

I’d say pick the motherboard first

[idle nexus]

motherboard ya

[misty sparrow]

The rest of the parts are dependent on the motherboard

Case size, ram type

[idle nexus]

& motherboard is probably most expensive

[sinful blade]

Should I have gotten this

[idle nexus]

might as well get that over with

[misty sparrow]

no

[sinful blade]

Why

[misty sparrow]

I’d rather buy sandwiches

[sinful blade]

I need a new monitor

[acoustic palm]

Yummy

[misty sparrow]

I’d only get that if money was extraordinarily tight

[idle nexus]

or as like not main monitor ig

I mean it's not terrible & price is pretty decent

1080p?

[sinful blade]

Currently using a 23” 75hz 1080p

[misty sparrow]

oh jesus

[acoustic palm]

I mean

[sinful blade]

And a 40” LCD 60Hz tv

[misty sparrow]

Yes, you should have gotten it then

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[dusk knot]

[idle nexus]

I used a 4K 43" 60hz commercial display for awhile & it was alright ig

[acoustic palm]

Damn

I’m using a 1440p 180hz 27”

🙂

[sinful blade]

…hoe.

[acoustic palm]

Should’ve gotten the 360hz one for 50$ more but

Whatever

Too late now

[dusk knot]

bruh

[sinful blade]

[acoustic palm]

Summer money

Well no

[sinful blade]

I’m broke

[dusk knot]

y'all need OLED

[acoustic palm]

This is me saving up for years before I had a job money

[sinful blade]

Buy me one JP

[misty sparrow]

I’m sorry, but OLED’s too pricey

[dusk knot]

UH

[acoustic palm]

Waiting for a 400$ one

😦

[dusk knot]

theyre getting there

[sinful blade]

My only oled I own is my iPhone

[dusk knot]

$500 is what you can get one now

[acoustic palm]

I saw one a week ago

[misty sparrow]

There was an OLED a few days ago that reached $300 in a deal

It was posted here

[dusk knot]

soon everyone will know oled

[sweet phoenix]

A few days ago?

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/surprise-shock-light-hugh-jackman-gif-7902590

[acoustic palm]

Damn

What deal

[sweet phoenix]

I remember the cooler master was in the 300s a while back

Didn't know there was one recently

[idle nexus]

dell outlet has monitors for the low usually

[misty sparrow]

Past weeks are mere days to me considering all of them are the same and none of them matter

[dense locust]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tDbbcx

So far so good

[misty sparrow]

I can’t tell time anymore, take my time estimates with several grains of salt

[sweet phoenix]

2tb p41 for ssd

$130

[acoustic palm]

Cl34?

[sweet phoenix]

It should still be hynix

[dense locust]

I just chose some random ram I’ll probably get cl30

[acoustic palm]

350$ mobo?

Am I missing smth

[misty sparrow]

You already have the card and the power supply?

[sweet phoenix]

I can't suggest a $350 mobo but if someone were to overspend for a mobo the nova is at least a good choice lol

[idle nexus]

that's a big case for no radiators

[dense locust]

Yes

[idle nexus]

how much is Taichi Lite?

I'm using X670E Taichi & it's pretty good ig

[sweet phoenix]

Like $450 I think

[misty sparrow]

Well congrats on getting your hands on a 5080

[sweet phoenix]

Don't quite me on that

[idle nexus]

if I could do it all over again, I'd get MSI ACE

that's a pretty heckin mobo imo

[sweet phoenix]

Oh hey
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6HkH99/asrock-x870e-taichi-eatx-am5-motherboard-x870e-taichi

Exactly $450 lol

[dense locust]

Hey if you find me another motherboard that doesn’t lane share with 4/5 ssd slots filled let me know

[sweet phoenix]

And do you need 16tb of nvmes?

[idle nexus]

$400ish ig https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-X870E-Taichi-Socket-Motherboard/dp/B0DFNPK2MX?th=1

[idle nexus]

no reason to get X870E tho unless you reallly want that USB 5 or whatver iirc

[dense locust]

I want to use my smaller 1tb drives :b

[sweet phoenix]

K

[idle nexus]

X670E = X870 for the most part?

sorry that was more of a question lol

[sweet phoenix]

I think so

[idle nexus]

the lack of "?" didn't help lol

[dense locust]

Surprised nobody yelled at me for the $200 case

[sweet phoenix]

X870e i think gets 4 more pcie lanes

[sweet phoenix]

Your money not mine

[idle nexus]

tbh, with cases, I only say it's a bad call if it's known for its poor thermal performance

otherwise, I feel like cases are a matter of personal preference

& accordingly, not my place to make that call lol

Just another option

[dense locust]

I buy parts without using credit which is why I’m waiting

One at a time

[acoustic palm]

Is patriot bad or smth

[sweet phoenix]

Good plan to not spend money you don't have, not great buying parts one at a time

No

They get the same dies any other company does

[acoustic palm]

Why is it so cheap then

[dense locust]

I mean I could buy them all now

[idle nexus]

I had Patriot Vipers that were bdie that were pretty heckin great

haven't had any DDR5 tho

[dense locust]

On sale?

Or normal price?

[idle nexus]

I usually suggest these for 2x32gb (you have to buy two) because I know they're A-Die https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGWFYBXB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

[acoustic palm]

Normal

[idle nexus]

$76x2 = $152 for 64gb A-die

only thing is, you gotta OC them yourself obviously

[acoustic palm]

A-die is for oc stuff right

[idle nexus]

A-die & M-die are best ICs for DDR5 for overclocking ya

any 8000 XMP kit is gonna be A or M

[dense locust]

I’ll save money and buy 1 kit now

Genius

[acoustic palm]

Man

I need to save my pcpp

I keep losing it

[idle nexus]

2x24 or 2x48gb is usually M; 2x16 or 2x32gb is usually A. A will do timings a little tighter but M will often run higher frequency

tho not by much tbh

I can't run higher than like 8533-8600 whether I use 2x16gb A-die or 2x24gb M-die

[dense locust]

This guy is a simple man
“It works 5 stars”

[idle nexus]

but that's probably IMC &/or skill issue ig

lol most people's opinion turns on whether it just works the first time with little to no effort

I've never used a Gamemax case I dunno much about them

[acoustic palm]

Ic

Uh

[idle nexus]

see if you can find product review on YT or something

just so you're sure it's not like poorly made or flimsy materials

it does look to me like it's a pretty small case tho

like look how big the motherboard looks in it

I could be wrong tho

[acoustic palm]

Ngl

I hate that white bar on the corner

[idle nexus]

it does kinda take away from the look ya

[acoustic palm]

Hmmm

If there’s a like 70-80$ case that’s fish tank

Idm extra fans

[idle nexus]

I like that the I/O is at the bottom front on this case

[acoustic palm]

That does look nice

How much is it

[idle nexus]

$115 I think?

[dense locust]

When you’re rich enough to buy a case that isn’t listed as mid

[acoustic palm]

Oof

[idle nexus]

$119 close enough

[acoustic palm]

Uh

Well

I did get birthday money

[limber crane]

Which case is this?

[acoustic palm]

And I got a steal on the rest of the build

[idle nexus]

this is the non-XL version that's $99 https://www.newegg.com/snow-thermaltake-view-380-tg-argb-mid-tower-chassis/p/N82E16811133545

[idle nexus]

https://www.newegg.com/black-thermaltake-view-380-xl-tg-argb-mid-tower/p/N82E16811133563

[acoustic palm]

Meh

[dense locust]

Is mid tower a size of case

[acoustic palm]

Do you know if it has a 3.5” bay

[limber crane]

It's like the nzxt I wanted but 120 on the bottom instead of 140

[storm narwhal]

Ew nzxt

[acoustic palm]

Also is there product dimensions anywhere

[idle nexus]

kinda lmao

https://thermaltakeusa.com/products/view-380-xl-tg-argb-mid-tower-chassis-ca-11e-00m1wn-00

[limber crane]

Yeah I walked away from it, likely going lian li

[storm narwhal]

The storage door

[acoustic palm]

It works

[idle nexus]

it's kinda weird cuz the back is like super perforated

[acoustic palm]

Ngl I really like that case

Hmmmmm

[storm narwhal]

Oh yeah

[storm narwhal]

Why is it like that

[idle nexus]

ig the drives hide back there

[acoustic palm]

I just need the dimensions

[idle nexus]

air flow? no idea lol

[storm narwhal]

not a lot of flow and just a lot of air lol

[acoustic palm]

No for desk space

[storm narwhal]

At least for the drives

[idle nexus]

this is XL one

[acoustic palm]

Oh god

[idle nexus]

the color options are wild

[acoustic palm]

I do rly like that case tho

[storm narwhal]

Nice

[idle nexus]

this is the non-XL one https://thermaltakeusa.com/products/view-380-tg-argb-snow-mid-tower-chassis-ca-1z2-00m6wn-00

[lone mango]

Yeah thermaltake has pretty interesting color choices on cases

Out of the ordinary but thats cool

[acoustic palm]

And there’s plenty of space

[idle nexus]

matcha green & hydrenga blue... I didn't know these colors existed tbh

[acoustic palm]

Hmmm

[idle nexus]

there was a gray one that was newegg exclusive but different case iirc

[acoustic palm]

I think I’ll do that

I need 7 case fans tho

That’s kinda pricy

[idle nexus]

the non-XL holds two HDDs but hides them different

no door thing

I/O is on top for the non-XL

[acoustic palm]

Hm

I like the xl way better

[idle nexus]

XL has Bumblebee version @lone mango

[acoustic palm]

Aw man

[idle nexus]

lol I hate that ngl

then you gotta like manually add it & it's all like derp

sometimes if you manually add it & use an Amazon or Newegg link it'll figure it out

if you try to manually add it from like performance-pcs or something it won't know wth

[idle nexus]

damn this is kinda nice on the XL

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

Ok so it needs 7 fans

[idle nexus]

I think it comes with 4. Thermaltake has those SWAFANs

[acoustic palm]

But it won’t match

[idle nexus]

that you can change the blade part

so it looks nice & still blows in a useful direction

oh you have fans already?

[acoustic palm]

I can buy c12cw for cheap

[lone mango]

Thats pretty cool

The tr100 has pretty nice colors too

[idle nexus]

ya TT fans aren't super cheap. The ones that match the case fans it comes with are about $20/each. They come in regular or reverse options. https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-CT120-Motherboard-Addressable-CL-F181-PL12SW/dp/B0CX18QPMN?

[dense locust]

Dairy Queen line was huge

Gone my free come tho

[idle nexus]

so worth it tho I bet

[acoustic palm]

Holy…

[idle nexus]

lol at least you're not an idiot like me

like 3 years ago I bought Thermaltake Riing 200mm fans

[acoustic palm]

I mean do I get this and 2 singular fans

[idle nexus]

they're like $80 each or something

I definitely needed fans that had 60 LEDs per fan tho

[acoustic palm]

Fr

[idle nexus]

I don't think you can even buy them anymore

[acoustic palm]

Ok there we go

[idle nexus]

oh wait ya you can get them for $70/fan now https://thermaltakeusa.com/products/riing-trio-20-rgb-case-fan-tt-premium-edition-cl-f083-pl20sw-a

[storm umbra]

would yall rather an oled 1440p with a ryzen 7 9700x or an ips monitor 1440p with a 9800x3d?

[acoustic palm]

Worth

[acoustic palm]

I’d say OLED

[idle nexus]

I needed them to put the 400mm rad in 12900K build ya know

[acoustic palm]

Trust

[idle nexus]

I should get a new acrylic Pikachu tbh

that one is kinda scratched lol

[acoustic palm]

Dang

Wanna rate my list rn

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/npBX3w

[idle nexus]

is there an AM5 Steel Legend motherboard to make it all match?

[acoustic palm]

This mobo is part of the microcenter bundle

[idle nexus]

ah okay

looks good imo

dunno much about those PSUs but is that part of the bundle too?

[acoustic palm]

That was my gpu bundle

[dense locust]

This better cool.my room fort this price

[idle nexus]

damn X670E Steel Legend kinda meh

[dusk knot]

Kinda

But I would take it

[idle nexus]

ngl, it won't lol

[acoustic palm]

It kinda is

[idle nexus]

I like the 870 better

[lone mango]

When I built my first pc in 2018, they had the og thermaltake riing fans at frys

With that old tt logo

[idle nexus]

the first picture

[idle nexus]

my son's PC still has the Riings

[lone mango]

It was like an orange color with red font

[idle nexus]

they're getting old lol

[dusk knot]

You're right

[idle nexus]

the ones that only light up in white? lol

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

Nah they were rgb

[idle nexus]

ahh okay

[lone mango]

I was talking about the logo

the orange thermaltake logo

Really old

[acoustic palm]

Nothing else to change?

[idle nexus]

this was 5900x build in 2021. The Riing fans already had white logos

[lone mango]

Oh those are newer then

Mine were super old

hold on

[idle nexus]

you need 7 fans in addition to the three on the AIO?

[idle nexus]

ahh nice nice

[acoustic palm]

The case has 10 total spots

[lone mango]

So old

[idle nexus]

I think you can do 3 on the bottom too haha

wait that's

ya 10

[lone mango]

But they were pretty good from what I remember

[idle nexus]

derp

ya the only thing I hate about Thermaltake fans were the early fan boxes

those heckin things never worked right

[acoustic palm]

Damn

Oh wait

Don’t I need a like… fan hub? Whats it called

So I can control the fans with my pc

[idle nexus]

you can run splitters tbh

& control them in BIOS

or Gigabyte's software I think

I'd do it in BIOS to avoid all that bloatware tbh

[acoustic palm]

I’m gonna hook it up to signal rgb

When I’m playing

[idle nexus]

tho it's kinda nice to have RGB & fan speed in the same place

Signal is good

well when i used it

OpenRGB is free tho so I use that nowadays

[acoustic palm]

Signal is free too

[idle nexus]

they have a paid thing but ig you don't need it to use it

the RAM comes with the bundle?

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[idle nexus]

ah okay

it should be a good match. 6000 1:1 works like 99% of the time afik

[acoustic palm]

I can also do this tho

[idle nexus]

I was gonna say get white RAM so it all matches

[storm umbra]

ive heard corsair is bad

[acoustic palm]

Idk if it is

But it’s also cl36

[idle nexus]

this bundle right? https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006969/amd-ryzen-7-7700x,-gigabyte-b650-aorus-elite-ax-ice,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

[storm umbra]

everyone today told me dont

i dont understand what mobo i should get at this point

or ram

[acoustic palm]

With the 9700x yeah

[storm umbra]

and imma have a stroke

[idle nexus]

Corsair was bad for DDR4 afik but for DDR5 I honestly don't know
