As you can clearly see here

Also what kernel version you on rn

[sinful blade]

@hoary zodiac do I have to ddu before sticking in another gpu? Or can I do it after?(switching wife my 5700xt with her 1660S for a few weeks.

I can’t think today

[lone mango]

Yes for swapping companies

[sinful blade]

Sigh

Meaning I have to take apart her pc again

Man, I cannot win today

[worthy meteor]

Do it before, it tells you what it recommends on the readme document

[acoustic palm]

Real

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

You can tell they fumbled on the chart because it shows that 2060 outdoes 3060

instead of the other way around

[acoustic palm]

@lone mango how do you install monitor drivers again

[lone mango]

What

[acoustic palm]

I was told to update them

But I’m not being told how

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

And Google isn’t helping

[lone mango]

I have not heard of updating drivers for your computer screen

What issues you having rn

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-chat-dead-chat-gif-11458026997495797759

[hoary zodiac]

Huh????

[lone mango]

Huge performance gains

[misty sparrow]

to be fair

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

if you're installing monitor drivers would you even be able to see what's happening on screen

[hoary zodiac]

On linux?

[lone mango]

Yeah im 6.14.5 rn

[hoary zodiac]

6.14.4

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

Is there some major change to the kernel or something

[lone mango]

Nah

[hoary zodiac]

Oh ok

[lone mango]

Just being stupid

[hoary zodiac]

Speaking of which

You just reminded me to purchase my package cache

[lone mango]

Oh yeah cachy updated just fine with the terminal btw

[hoary zodiac]

I did yay -Sc and yay -Yc

Always remember to purge your package manager trash

[lone mango]

Can pacman do that or I gotta get yay for that

[hoary zodiac]

You need yay for Yc

[lone mango]

Also it updated really fast. Took 76 seconds

Alr

[hoary zodiac]

Get yay anyways

So you can install aur packages

[lone mango]

Can I put all of them in the same command or I gotta do pacman and then the yay commands after

[hoary zodiac]

yay is pacman plus aur

And some other helpful commands

[lone mango]

Cachy has a gui to do it

So I can do yay -Syu

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

That'll update your repo and aur packages

[lone mango]

But what I was trying to ask was like

Can I do -Syu and -Sc -Yc in the same command

[hoary zodiac]

Uhh

[lone mango]

Or do I gotta update and do these commands individually

[hoary zodiac]

Probably

yay -Syu && yay -Sc && yay -Yc

[lone mango]

Typically its better to do commands individually anyway

[hoary zodiac]

You'll still get the prompts individually

[lone mango]

Oh I see

&& makes it to where the other ones will execute if the one before it is successful

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

That's my linux tip of the day

[tranquil pebble]

installing 24H2 on my laptop. Hopefully Windows doesn't implode when it sees the drive is WD

[misty sparrow]

It's gonna self-implode eventually, not because of the drive but because Windows for some reason degrades in performance over time

[tranquil pebble]

that's fine... normal Windows shenanigans

reinstalling Windows is like a cyclical thing you do once you have the computer long enough lol

[tranquil pebble]

its because a lot of software, and even the os to some extent does not fully clean up after itself

[misty sparrow]

I feel like if you were to ask somebody who used different operating systems if their OS got worse in performance over time they would probably be confused

[tranquil pebble]

Windows is the only major non-Unix like OS lol

[pliant berry]

templeos

[misty sparrow]

MSDOS

[tranquil pebble]

DOS is not Unix like. Templeos is not a major os

[pliant berry]

wdym is not major

it's the most used os now

[misty sparrow]

isn't it a good thing DOS is non-Unix

i thought it had something to do with your point

[tranquil pebble]

its neither good or bad. Unix is a solid base though

Are those sites that sell $30 windows keys legit

[misty sparrow]

i'm bored so I guess I'll make a list for fun just to see if it's decent

[fresh timber]

i made this abomination https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c8wyRV

[fresh timber]

legally we cant say

[tranquil pebble]

most likely not

[fresh timber]

paypal and figure it out

[fresh timber]

ehh lets not lie now,

[chrome surge]

Sooo get a $40 Visa card and I’m chillin

[fresh timber]

if u want

[chrome surge]

It looks like a scam site but content creators talk abt em

[fresh timber]

techsource is how i found out about them

when in doubt, complain in his erver

wana know whats ironic, ur not allowed to talk about the keys in his discord server

[chrome surge]

I mean if there’s literally no reason why I would spend $70 more then

[fresh timber]

discord ttos blah blah

[chrome surge]

Yikes

[fresh timber]

can get server nuked blah blah

[chrome surge]

Tragic

[fresh timber]

so asking in a esrver won t get u far

[chrome surge]

I see

Do you think allegedly it’d be worth it allegedly theoretically

[fresh timber]

idk

i cant answer

[pliant berry]

what we can tell you is that you can install and use windows for free without a license.. just without personalization and stuff

[fresh timber]

techncily illegal too

[chrome surge]

Really? I coulda sworn windows was free before I started building mine

[pliant berry]

not really, microsoft can turn that off if they really cared

[fresh timber]

they dont enforce it but its technicly illegal

its a grey area just like the keys

[pliant berry]

no it was never free, just appears so cuz prebuilts don't charge for it

[tranquil pebble]

24H2 did not implode on my laptop but it did require manual intervention to finish installing

[fresh timber]

i got windows for free, got a motherboard from a friend and it had home already

[pliant berry]

is there a win11 version of ltsc or are they still on win10

[chrome surge]

Should I just buy it from an actual retailer for its actual price

[fresh timber]

legally yes

i think

[pliant berry]

ehh, i mean if you want

[fresh timber]

ist a grey area

[pliant berry]

why iot lol

[fresh timber]

u can get one of those keys but its a grey area and we cant recomend them.

u gotta take that typa talk to dms

[chrome surge]

Yea I was gonna say

[fresh timber]

@honest birch told me to

[chrome surge]

ghosty what’s the best possible thing to do

if you must dm me please dm me

Wouldn’t emulators also be a gray area?

[fresh timber]

yes they technicly are

[chrome surge]

Or rather the ROMs and ISOs

[fresh timber]

if u rip your own roms its a grey area if ur breaking encyption

[pliant berry]

either way you don't have to let that stop you from installing on windows on a pc, you can think about it later

[chrome surge]

I want windows

But idk if I want my info on the market

[fresh timber]

irrc u can use windows unactivated for 30 days until according to TOS u have to buy windows

[pliant berry]

you just need a usb and an iso or their installer tool. I always recommend setting up with local account instead of ms account

[fresh timber]

i have my iso setup to make local accounts for me

[chrome surge]

I must play the old simpsons games

[misty sparrow]

I did a list because I'm bored and have no idea if it's any good

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nPkW74

[fresh timber]

urs is matx but with a bettre cpu i think

[acoustic palm]

Oh god

[fresh timber]

does 8500g beat 14100

[misty sparrow]

don't really know CPUs that well but I aimed for upgradability and cheapness

even has a free cooler thrown in

[dusk knot]

ooo

[fresh timber]

i aimed for cheapness and failed i put too much of a good motherboard on it

[dusk knot]

we got a winner. thanks

[fresh timber]

only benfit is the 14100 wont suffer if u add a gpu

[misty sparrow]

didnt think it was that good uhh you're welcome

i guess you could swap out the SSD for a smaller SSD + a beefy HDD if you really wanna save cash

or just take out the case fans

[dusk knot]

no. i think this is good

well..yeah the fans must be trash

lol

[cursive oasis]

I don't have all the PC parts for my mini PC yet, but could I go ahead and put the case fans in without any trouble?

Like, would it make installing the PC much more difficult if I do that now

[sinful blade]

I’m about to bake
Uhhh, whatever this is?

[misty sparrow]

I feel like if you put all the parts in then put the case fans in, it would be pretty hard

[fresh timber]

it loos like poo but i bet it taste good

[pliant berry]

bread!

[fresh timber]

oh thats bread?

[misty sparrow]

so maybe the case fans in first after the motherboard?

[fresh timber]

@sinful blade can i come over

[cursive oasis]

So case fans first?

[sinful blade]

Sure, I have these for the appetizer

[misty sparrow]

Maybe after the motherboard

[cursive oasis]

I don't have the cpu or ssd yet (because of usps), but I'll just go ahead and throw the motherboard in

[sinful blade]

They are apparently spicy pork steamed buns

And other thing is supposed to be “Ham and Cheese, managers special”

[dense locust]

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/9zVIy_La7nk?si=l7QOUiyApgt40tBP

[misty sparrow]

the fact that it's captured on PS5 makes it even more magical

they probably delayed it by a year for the jiggle physics though

[dusk knot]

also i cant believe it took between 1-2 BILLION DOLLARS to make GTA6

[misty sparrow]

is that true or is that an estimate

[sour falcon]

real

[misty sparrow]

GTA5 was 200mil or something right?

[dusk knot]

ITS TRUE

between 1 and 2 billion dollars

[misty sparrow]

now this makes no sense

GTAV made $9 billion to date (as of now)

Why in the world would Rockstar use a large percentage of what GTAV has made in order to make GTA6

It would take a while to make profit, if we're going by how fast GTAV sold and the money generated from GTAOnline (sold a billion on first day, Online makes 500mil/year) then to break even it would take two years, maybe a bit less if GTA6 sells more

[fresh timber]

in hope to doubloe it

[misty sparrow]

way too cocky in this economy

[hoary zodiac]

There are two ways of looking at this

They're trying to replicate the success of GTA V

I.e., actually making a groundbreaking title

Or

They're just throwing money in a pit

[cursive oasis]

Can I use the stock amd cooler on an AM5 cpu?

[hoary zodiac]

Considering how far the video game industry has come

To have a true sequel to GTA V

You'd need something truly groundbreaking

[misty sparrow]

You could if the CPU in question doesn't heat up too much

I know some of them have heat problems that require a beefier cooler

[hoary zodiac]

As long as it's not an X3D and you have good airflow

It's passable

Not optimal but it works

Although I'd only use them on R5s and below

At least an Assassin X for R7s and PA120 for X3D

[cursive oasis]

It's for a 7600

[hoary zodiac]

Eh that's fine

It's an R5

Zen 5 silicon is cool

You'd be more annoyed with noise than temps

[fresh timber]

i hate stock coolers, their too loud under load

[misty sparrow]

Free is free

[fresh timber]

not free, you still pay for it

[tacit geode]

hmm

[silver sparrow]

idle power go brr

[nocturne flicker]

Free is free. They have no reason to not still charge you whatever it costs to give a cooler

[fresh timber]

idle? whats that

my gpu never idles

[silver sparrow]

i get it, its 3 8 pin power connectors feeding into it, but honestly AMD fix ur dumb card

[fresh timber]

from what i learned, thats because our monitors are too good

[silver sparrow]

i mean im running 3 of them, and iirc if i disconnect 2 it goes to like normal amount of power

[fresh timber]

yeah amd suffers running multipoly dispalys, idk if nvidia does the same

casablanca number 2

top gun: maverick is number 7

[misty sparrow]

No, I think it's Shawshank Redemption

unless you already looked

[random osprey]

i did

[misty sparrow]

Huh

I think that was IMDb's highest actually not rotten tomatoes

[misty sparrow]

Oh wow Shawshank Redemption's not even up there

is this critic or audience?

[hoary zodiac]

Where is Shrek 2

[random osprey]

both

[misty sparrow]

I guess for some of them the audience score must've been higher than critic

and when combined the film gets a really high overall score

[random osprey]

they base it on other stuff as well, like how many reviews as well as when the movie came out

[sinful blade]

I am sorry, I was the one who requested to demote you for the inactivity lmao

[random osprey]

godfather on the website has 250k+ reviews from users and is at a 98%

98% average across that many people is good

LMAO

i clicked on the user reviews for the godfather and the very first review is a family guy reference

[tacit geode]

Demote?

True

[misty sparrow]

I'm telling you they delayed it a year to add physics

[rancid juniper]

They also delayed it to:

-Raise base price

-Finish remaining work for online mode

-Capitalize on console sales as they're expecting many people to own an Xbox/PS5

[proud jackal]

DOESNT MATTER WE WONT GET PC VERSION

[rancid juniper]

In like 3 years time ig

[unreal trail]

also to add butt jiggle for the twerking

[rancid juniper]

Yea, that too

[proud jackal]

its delayed a year to be developed for ps6

[rancid juniper]

Likely

[unreal trail]

its a terrible time for a new console

[rancid juniper]

Rockstar always releasing their games near end of current gen

[unreal trail]

bruh nobody can afford a Switch 2, let alone a PS6

[rancid juniper]

This goofy company just doesn't want to make smaller games/spinoffs anymore

Like you look at rockstar's timeline and it's bad

Right after GTA v it's like one game per Gen or 2

Fallout 4 stability is very heavily dependent on location

Some places will just repeated crash, not much you can do about it

Or when you run into specific bugs

Save often

[velvet summit]

True

Fallout 4 is more stable if you're playing in Belgium

But not in Germany

Probably was at a point but I cut ties with all things Newegg related back in Jan or something

[hoary zodiac]

Ah

Technically no

Nicknames have changed

I was once known by another name I don’t like to mention because it’s embarrassing

But that changed before I came to Newegg

What if we make a tech collectible

Online trading cards

Imagine how many idiots will buy this crap

[nocturne flicker]

We could call it...a NFT

Found a z690 with like 3 bent pins and no cpu latch for 50$ should i buy and try to fix?

[hoary zodiac]

Y'all have too much money to spend

[crimson scroll]

Lel not me if i do get it I won’t be able to get a new cpu

[hoary zodiac]

Then why

[crimson scroll]

Cause profit if i fix it

[hoary zodiac]

If you don't you lose $50

[crimson scroll]

Plus cost of the cpu and dr5

Ddr5

[hoary zodiac]

There are easier ways to make money

Flip a pc or something

[crimson scroll]

Dont have one to sell

which one should I get,

somewhere around that price range, if those suck someone help me out 🙂

[topaz crown]

Hello @potent dune! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[hoary zodiac]

The HP omen is the least terrible

if that's the answer you're looking for

800 pounds for a 4060ti pc is pretty outrageous

but it is 2025

[potent dune]

anything better I could get around thst price range? could go over a bit

possibly around 900/1k

@hoary zodiac

[acoustic palm]

You should look into making one yourself ngl

[potent dune]

no idea how to, I know almost nothing about pcs

[acoustic palm]

It’s not too difficult

At all

Might take a few hours extra of research, but then you get quality parts and better components

[hoary zodiac]

arguably getting a used prebuilt might not be a bad idea for performance/$

considering the dire state of the market right now

[acoustic palm]

True

[hoary zodiac]

first listing I found

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405838628993?

alrady miles better

[elfin mural]

it's also got a case that takes atx parts

[elfin mural]

only matx boards but still

[hoary zodiac]

gpu is a tad bit slower

but it's also $100 cheaper

actually no

the 4060TI 8GB is on par with the 3070 right?

[acoustic palm]

4060ti ain’t valid on that list

[hoary zodiac]

How so?

[potent dune]

I'm looking for performance, possibly atleast 180fps+ on most games if that's not like outrageously priced😭

[acoustic palm]

It says on the graph that its factory overlocked

[hoary zodiac]

other benchmarks does back up this chart

[acoustic palm]

180 fps on what games though

That can either be really low or impossibly high

[elfin mural]

factory oc is still valid

there's no such thing as 4060ti fe

so you're never gonna run stock clocks

[potent dune]

not too sure yet as xbox doesn't have the greatest selection of games so I'm sort if stuck playing fortnite and cod here

[hoary zodiac]

the real question is

what is your budget

you don't look to hit a fps target

you look to buy what you can afford

[acoustic palm]

Fortnite is not hard, cod kinda is

[hoary zodiac]

you really can't be picky with pc

worst case scenario you turn down a couple settings

[acoustic palm]

^

[potent dune]

I'd go up to £1000/£1100 at most

maybe a little more if necessary for better performance but not too much more

[hoary zodiac]

well

[acoustic palm]

Is this for the pc alone or monitor and peripherals too

[hoary zodiac]

for better or worse

[potent dune]

I have a 180hz monitor, a keyboard, mouse, wired controller and a headset

[acoustic palm]

Alr

[hoary zodiac]

the current pc market is so bad that it's diminishing returns above 1000 pounds

welcome to 2025

[misty sparrow]

I’ve been trying to find one of these charts with RTX 50 series and AMD 90 series cards on it too, just so I can see how they stack against 30 series and stuff

[acoustic palm]

Mine wasn’t 🙂

[frigid stag]

Diminishing returns?

[acoustic palm]

3090ti is a bit lower than a 9070

[frigid stag]

It’s higher

[hoary zodiac]

diminishing returns on a price/performance scale

not on performance alone

[acoustic palm]

The benchmarks I saw all showed same or lower

[hoary zodiac]

you have to consider UK market too

It's not the US market where you can hop over to a microcenter

[frigid stag]

Well it’s not much use when the microcentr has no gpus

And the shelves are empty

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185746059231?

ehhh

[acoustic palm]

Most Americans don’t have access to a microcenter

[hoary zodiac]

irrelevant in this case but yes

[acoustic palm]

Eh

[hoary zodiac]

I'm just posting the ones that's not atrocious

remember this is pounds

what the hell is this

this is god awful

zotac

🤨

I guess you have palit

[frigid stag]

I bought a zotac 5080 before they cancelled on me

Cuz they just oversold I guess

At least they have 5090s for msrp there

[hoary zodiac]

why do the prebuilts all have corsair memory

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226691924658?

I guess vengeance DDR5 isn't the end of the world

unless this is a ddr4 board

THERE IT IS

DDR4 VENGEANCE

[frigid stag]

XD

[hoary zodiac]

i7 killer

9400f

hello

what i7 are you killing?

the 2600k?

[frigid stag]

The 920

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356811973845?

what the hell

this is kinda based

[acoustic palm]

UK market is better than US market rn

[hoary zodiac]

yeah well

you have to look at all the parts combined

but I supposed with how much gpus are inflated in the US it doesn't even matter

[frigid stag]

Should I replace my mix-matched ram

[hoary zodiac]

is that...

you've got to be kidding me

[frigid stag]

Yep

Always

[hoary zodiac]

jesus christ these people have not a single brain cell

[frigid stag]

It’s almost the cheapest usually so that’s probably why

Corsair vengeance might be the reason why the steam charts put 32gb as the most used

[hoary zodiac]

another one

[frigid stag]

50$ 32gb sets

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365580569340?

6750GRE?

eh?

[frigid stag]

The fishtank case lol

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

X3D for 670 pounds

this is kinda a steal

ngl this is a top contender

[frigid stag]

Arent 3080 pcs supposed to cost around that much

[hoary zodiac]

is that a chinese gpu tho

[acoustic palm]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZR8PLc

[hoary zodiac]

kinda sus

[hoary zodiac]

they're 900 pounds

[frigid stag]

Oh

[hoary zodiac]

you wish they are 600

I mean for 670 it's honestly not bad

but the gpu tho

kinda sus

if it's a chinese gpu with dogcrap vram

then that's a bin

[frigid stag]

Could be

[hoary zodiac]

oh look a TI for 920

I wonder what's wrong with it

although it is still a decent deal if you swap the ram kit

[elfin mural]

looks like hyperx fury to me

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226301261676?

[hoary zodiac]

it looks like LPX to me

[acoustic palm]

Ain’t that like not terrible

[hoary zodiac]

is that an amazon listing

check the listing

[acoustic palm]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

click on it

[acoustic palm]

It’s Amazon and another

[hoary zodiac]

what is the listing

are they both around 500 pounds?

[elfin mural]

damn that's actually

not bad

[hoary zodiac]

looks legit

you know

the AU market is actaulyl really trash

[acoustic palm]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/yrCCv4

[hoary zodiac]

but I wonder if it's better than the US market atm

[acoustic palm]

Anyways I have school now

I can’t talk for a few hours

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah some of y'all are still in school

[acoustic palm]

Oh

I have a test first period

I could’ve made a cheat sheet

Goddamnit bro

😭

[hoary zodiac]

y'all get to bring in cheat sheets?

[acoustic palm]

Rarely

[hoary zodiac]

and the AU market is still atrocious

$1249 AUD for a 9070XT

what a ripoff

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167396671134?

wtf

this is actually good wtf

cpu is kinda mediocre but it could be swapped out for an x3d

[potent dune]

collection only 😞

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135414449308?

we might have a winner

custom loop would be a pain to maintain tho

[potent dune]

once again collection only kinda sucks😞 I stay in scotland

[dusk knot]

Hm

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356805550546?

this might be the best one if you swap out the ram

oh wait wtf

7800XT is way cheaper

nevermind screw the 3080

[hoary zodiac]

nevermind it was a dud

[icy ore]

[hoary zodiac]

oh look a decent price

I wonder what's up with this

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236010968759?

you know what

this is probably one of the better ones

[empty tide]

Question, anyone ever heard of used kingspec nvme drives?

[hoary zodiac]

I don't trust kingspec as a brand

however

[empty tide]

I reacted to early sorry

[hoary zodiac]

some of their drives are... decent

[empty tide]

Hmm, xg7000 non-pro not there. I'm just going to assume its too new or not popular enough to put on the chart

I was just asking because I saw that drive, 4tb, for $200 on wegg
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CX3NnQ/kingspec-xg7000-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-xg-7000-4tb

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[empty tide]

And it looked like one of those "too good to be true" sorts of products, but I thought I'd run it by here

[hoary zodiac]

the UD90 is $10 more

and that's proven to be solid

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2BvD4D/silicon-power-ud90-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp04kgbp44ud9005

I've found 2 pc's which seem good but once again I don't know much about compatibility blah blah

[empty tide]

All I had to do was scroll down just a little more and I would have seen it

[hoary zodiac]

nah

[empty tide]

I may be stupid

[hoary zodiac]

that's way worse than the previous listings

the second listing doesn't even have a gpu

[devout forum]

Isn't KingSpec like

Micro Center's inhouse brand.?

[hoary zodiac]

what

[devout forum]

Or that's something else

[hoary zodiac]

they're based in shenzhen

[potent dune]

all the listing's you've sent however don't have delivery and I cant travel to England to get a pc, I stay in Scotland so I'm needing delivery😞

[devout forum]

Oh then it's something else

But I know MC has their own like

In-house hardware brand

Just can't remember the name lol

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236010968759?
you sure there's no postage on this one?

[empty tide]

No, that would be inland

[devout forum]

Dang it, misremembered

[potent dune]

sorry didn't see that one, are used pc's trustworthy though?

[devout forum]

But at least someone knew what I was talking about

[hoary zodiac]

Ebay has fairly strong buyer protection

[empty tide]

My guy you're talking to your local micro center shill

[hoary zodiac]

you can get your money back if it wasn't legit

[devout forum]

Hell yeah

Sadly I'm stuck in Eurocringe so I don't get micro centers

[potent dune]

true but better to be safe than sorry

[hoary zodiac]

well to be fair

these random sellers are just as trustworthy (or untrustworthy) as used sellers

[potent dune]

fair point lol

I've found another 2 but I'm guessing they're gonna be worse

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134367285802?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UaY1CFaiR7W&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/306178329521?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=A5J5U6lZRYW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[hoary zodiac]

where are these people getting their skylakes from

[hoary zodiac]

yes

unironically the first listing you've ever posted

and that used msi prebuilts

are the best ones we have

[potent dune]

thought so

[hoary zodiac]

the HP omen I think

[potent dune]

should I get that one?

[hoary zodiac]

well

here's the thing

the used MSI has the same gpu

but it's 100 pounds cheaper

[potent dune]

so it's the same thing but cheaper

[hoary zodiac]

well

we don't know what the cpu is

but by prebuilt logic it can't be that old

so it might be around the same really

in any case

even if it's a slightly weaker cpu

it's well worth it for the 100 pound savings

at least it's not the stupid 6th gen i7 listings

I don't get why there are so many skylake i7 listings

is there some enterprise hardware dump somewhere

[potent dune]

probably 😭

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah sidenote

do not buy anything that say "i7 6th gen" or "i7 6700"

those are ancient quad cores

[potent dune]

Im still looking but I'm still gonna end up yaking your advice because I'm a bit slow when it comes to this

okay

[hoary zodiac]

a lot of ebay listings, for some reason pair them with modern gpus

[potent dune]

also found this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195600913900?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dGfcJmkIRYm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

but it looks worse than what you sebt

[hoary zodiac]

that is what I would call a scam

thing's worth 400-500

[potent dune]

oh shi

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

this is less malicious than the 6th gen i7 listings

this is just extremely ovepriced

[potent dune]

fair enough then I guess

finding a PC is so difficult wtf😭

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156710013484?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=p15ksznkrvu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY found this but it looks like a bit if a scam

[hoary zodiac]

here's the catch

the 4060, unlike the 4060ti

is pretty trash

the 3060ti outperforms the 4060

with the 4060 you're looking at a lot worse performance compared to a 4060ti

[potent dune]

I'll look for a 4060ti the now

there's only 6 results within my price range thst are new with a 4060ti

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296783835076?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JPi7yohYSKe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

also this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267225556137?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mPpBp2DHSbO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[hoary zodiac]

meh

first one is trash

[potent dune]

2nd one is the same seller as the hp omen I think

[hoary zodiac]

second one is ok but not worth over the omen

[potent dune]

yeah it is

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335926450332?

thst one? Just used one thst you sent

[hoary zodiac]

this or the used msi is fine

just depends on if you'd prefer to pay the extra 100 pounds for peace of mind

[potent dune]

I wouldn't be bothered, is 16gb ram more than enough if im not doing things like streaming? like just playing a game and having discord open in the background and maybe an Internet browser

[frigid stag]

The 3060ti also beats the 4060ti in some cases

[hoary zodiac]

upgrading ram is probably the easiest part

ok that's sus

4060 I believe

ti I don't

[potent dune]

so should I just settle for the 16gb ram 512gb ssd one?

[frigid stag]

4060 is like 10 to 15% faster than 3060

4060 ti vs 3060 ti is like 2%

[potent dune]

or should I get the 32gb 1tb with the newer(idk if better) cpu

[frigid stag]

It ends up getting beat cause it’s a cut down 3060 ti

128 bit bus

[hoary zodiac]

2% in worst case scenario

how much cheaper are 3060ti listings is my question

[frigid stag]

Oof

[hoary zodiac]

might be worth it if it's like 100 pound less for like 2-7% performance loss

[hoary zodiac]

depends on game

[frigid stag]

That’s the average

[potent dune]

currently between these two https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335926450332? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267225556137?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mPpBp2DHSbO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4v6oirmarv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

same thing just one has double the ram and storage

[hoary zodiac]

nein and nein

[potent dune]

wdym no and no, they're the ones you suggested are they not

the first one anyways

[hoary zodiac]

oh

it opened up a different link for me

browser is being funny

[potent dune]

ohh

[hoary zodiac]

second one isn't worth it

200 pounds extra for an i7 really isn't worth it

you know what goose

you have given me an idea

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197293970371?

[potent dune]

what about the 16gb more ram and the 512gb more storage?

[hoary zodiac]

cpu is quite a bit slower tho

but it is 520 pounds

[frigid stag]

It’s pretty cheap

[potent dune]

?

[hoary zodiac]

that's not worth 200 pounds

I suppose 32GB of ram can be handy

but then the thing is

it's running a 4060ti

[potent dune]

which means?

[hoary zodiac]

actually eh

weak point

but even then

200 pounds is too much for a cpu and ram upgrade

[potent dune]

how much would it cost to do it yourself? like 100 ish?

[frigid stag]

How much would it cost if you got all the parts individually

[hoary zodiac]

not sure

but I know the performance you're getting out of it isn't worth 200

[potent dune]

so the performance would be almost the same?

[frigid stag]

Check Facebook marketplace too

[hoary zodiac]

no it'd be better

just not worth 200 pounds

[frigid stag]

Lot of good deals on there

[hoary zodiac]

bloody quad core landmines

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226717606894?

Bingo?

cpu's pretty old but it's cheap

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197150759550?

another decent one

wait is this the same listing as the one earlier

ouch

falls behind zen 3

[frigid stag]

Eh

It’s margin of error almost

[hoary zodiac]

what

[potent dune]

I'll get the hp omen one for 799.99 and I'll upgrade it myself soon enough

[hoary zodiac]

what do you mean margin of error

[frigid stag]

It’s only like 2% difference

[hoary zodiac]

what

oh

[frigid stag]

200 to 205

[hoary zodiac]

I was looking at the 10600k

[frigid stag]

Oh

[hoary zodiac]

derp

thanks for the spot

[frigid stag]

I guess 10700 non k is closer to 10600k

[hoary zodiac]

well thing is

[frigid stag]

Cuz of the lower boost clocks

[hoary zodiac]

the 3060ti listings are way cheaper

bingo????

455.52?

WHY

I suppose swapping out the ram with a 2x16 kit won't be expensive

I'd say it'd bring the total up to 500 at most

[potent dune]

true but performance would be worse

[hoary zodiac]

by like

[frigid stag]

Not really

[hoary zodiac]

2-7%

for a 200 pound saving

[potent dune]

oh right so not a big deal

[hoary zodiac]

insert depends on game

but yes

[potent dune]

soo should I get that alphasync or predator orion?

yeah

you can upgrade the ram if you'd like

honestly

the onyx might be the best one

even with the ram upgrade it's still the cheapest

You could probably also add 16gb extra

Ye mystery ic

[hoary zodiac]

My ram is from 2 different kits combined but it’s the same speed and timings

And it’s not Corsair

[hoary zodiac]

the orion has hyper x I think

the onyx is still cheaper with a ram upgrade tho

[frigid stag]

I kinda want to get another normal matching set but it’s probably not worth spending more

[hoary zodiac]

plus it's on zen 3

Unless I can sell this
