tawny quest

Depends on the seller

rare kayak

#

Aliexpress is China based

#

Newegg is US based.

final scarab
#

Aliexpress have some expensive shipping for me tho

last egret

oof

#

i mean cases are thge things that i can never seem to buy on newegg

hollow prawn

@rustic cloud lmao it all depends on where you live, Newegg gives free shipping to where I live, AliExpress shipping is around 50$ per item for me.

I have a desktop

onyx kelp
#

Oh well that makes sense

mild jetty
#

@final scarab does it have a different cooler from the other thicc cards

#

??

jade surge
#

Does anyone know where I can find 120mm rgb 2 pack case fans for under $25.

jade surge
#

@cursive gust I saw those fans and was going to get them but then realized my case already has 2 so i only need to buy 2 more for the front

cursive gust
#

Dont worry keep em

#

You can use them for rads or coolers

jade surge
#

oh yeah ok or i could switch out one of them for rgb if i want to

final scarab
#

@mild jetty what was your question?

mild jetty
#

It was about that card you sent

#

Because they have the raw versions and the other versions that aren't that beefy

#

And for the less beefy ones they apparently don't have good thermals

#

So I was wondering if the raw versions of the cards have better thermals @final scarab

rigid eagle
#

Any deals on 2080s? Used is ok

hollow prawn
#

box only

tawny quest
rigid eagle
#

Yep, gotta love those listings

tawny quest
#

some people actually have use for box

rigid eagle
#

If they are selling one
Recommendations for cheap low noise 140 mm fans?

tawny quest
#

sometimes you can sell things for more with original boxes

final scarab
#

Sry i don't actually know @mild jetty

hollow prawn
#

Arctic F14/P14 fans

mild jetty
#

Rip

#

Thanks tho

final scarab
#

Sure lol

rigid eagle
#

Thx

lone timber
#

some people actually have use for box
@tawny quest like scamming amazon lol

rigid eagle
#

Not sure how you're envisioning that. Like if you wanted to scam Amazon, you wouldn't need to buy a box (definitely not endorsing scamming, just saying)

lone timber
#

amazon return policy is trash

#

you could put anything in a box and if it looks unopened they wont check and theyll ship it

#

happned to zack

sleek grail
#

Is $115 a good deal for a 1300w evga G2?

final scarab
#

Do you need a 1300w psu?

hollow prawn
#

@sleek grail depends, is it used?

sleek grail
#

It is used. And I don’t need it, but 115 is the same price I could get a 750w psu 😂

final scarab
#

I wouldnt get a used psu. Plus if you dont need a 1300w psu the power efficiency is going to he pretty bad and rack up your electrical bill

hollow prawn
#

also the weird g2 issue

#

hei was talking about

final scarab
#

What is the issue? I wasn't there

hollow prawn
#

the power_ok drops after voltage drops to a level that might be dangerous to components after AC_Loss

final scarab
#

Ok

finite fjord
#

@final scarab Basically if AC power loss the voltages can drop to "unsafe" levels for a few ms. No real proof as to whether this is bad or not if it's only for a few ms but a malfunctioning protection is still a bit sketch. Esp if there isnt much proof on whether it's truly safe or not.

#

probably fine, but needs a fair warning. Kinda like G3 I guess

hollow prawn
#

@finite fjord that one is tricky as it's not as uncommon as g3's OCP thing

#

If it is unsafe, it can occur quite easily, say you kicked plug on accident, and that might damage things.

finite fjord
#

True. Tho in the post about it seems like a lot of people agreed that it's probably safe in the end. So idk

hollow prawn
#

Yea, just a weird issue as of now

#

Since g2 isn't really in production anymore, hope we can just keep that uncertainty behind us.

n o

#

whyd you get a laptop??

#

just asking

languid rampart
#

I need something that will be where i am not stationary. But I could have sworn this site said there was a slot.

#

Can someone please teach me how to figure out if it has a slot for hdd or not?

serene nimbus
#

First, look at the specs page on Newegg where you purchased it. That will tell you exactly what specification you purchased (or, at least, what Newegg is telling you you purchased).

#

That should/will/does say what storage it includes pre-installed.

#

You can check for all available storage slots for it on the specs page from MSI that you already linked to, specifically the section on storage.

final scarab
#

Thx for the explanation hei

Will a b450 tomahawk pro/Max (I forget the name) fit inside of my Corsair 400r case?

considering I have seen

five separate cheap SSD listings removed and their sellers nuked in the last 24 hours

#

and I have ordered this and it hasn't been nuked yet...

#

...well, we shall see

#

anyway I figure it couldn't hurt to try, given buyer protections

ebay has great buyer protection

so i guess yeah go for it

Hey is the Msi Trident 3 desktop pc i good start for gaming and streaming

tawny quest

there are different trident 3's but they seem like a good start. I would always try to see if anyone in #building-and-recc-chat can make a parts list better for the price

smh just get Aegis

I would rather go with this

sure its a couple bucks more but from a really good brand

#

not saying XPG isnt a bad brand just saying is lesser known then Gskill

austere thunder
#

what memory vendor do they use

glass mason
#

I cant find it

austere thunder
#

frick

#

website shows both Hynix and Samsung as partners for G.Skill lol

glass mason

ah those should be both good

#

what about XPG?

#

ping me your reply im going to bed @austere thunder

austere thunder
#

lol

#

oh XPG is an ADATA brand @glass mason

So G.Skill would probably be the better choice of the two

I s2g ebay doesn't let me order cheap stuff; it freaks out and makes me log into Paypal again, then makes me use credit card and then tells me the payment didn't go through.

I've taken this to mean that any listing like this is probably fake.

winged pond
#

It was the account was just banned

#

But ebay has protection for this kind of stuff so most of the time if people do buy it, it isn't a big issue

icy wadi
austere thunder
#

Interesting

#

The seller's page listed them as having been on eBay since 2000

#

Maybe it was an abandoned eBay account commandeered by scammers

icy wadi
#

probably

#

Idk what to do, I lost $40

mild jetty
#

bruh

pulsar grotto
#

Lol! Honestly, I'm not even surprised.

Just get a refund, ebay has your back

This happened to me twice last week

icy wadi

I got the money back in my account

icy wadi
#

@austere thunder My paypal says I got a refund. But my checking doesn't show it. Should I go look for another drive to buy or wait?

austere thunder
#

Your choice I guess

icy wadi

I don't want to buy it and get an overdraft in my checking

austere thunder

Well, wait then :p

Does any one know of a good 144hz budget gaming monitor?

pallid saddle
thick flume
#

does anyone know anywhere I can buy a motherboard and a processor simultaneously for a good price? I'm not talking about adding all three items to the cart, sometimes on sites like Amazon you can buy both a motherboard and a processor together

#

For one lump sum as opposed to paying tax for two separate items

velvet wing
#

the tax would be the same

#

but if you have a microcenter near you, they will give you 20-30 off a cpu when you buy both at the same time. other than that i dont know

#

and they usually have the lowest prices. its mostly in store only though

thick flume
#

I do, there's one maybe half an hour away

#

In Tustin California, I'm in Orange county

velvet wing
#

i would take a trip out there and see what you can get. keep in mind, as with most places, stocks are low right now

thick flume
#

And doors may be locked :)

velvet wing
#

microcenter should be open

#

you could call ahead to confirm though

thick flume
#

So if I buy a CPU what do they discount?

#

Er, motherboard they discount cpu?

velvet wing
#

yes

#

if you buy a motherboard and cpu, you get more money off the cpu. and the mobos and cpus are usually already cheaper than eslewhere before that discount too

thick flume
#

Nice.

velvet wing
#

it's where i go to buy pc parts lol. usually the cheapest, and if not, they price match

thick flume
#

Who do they price match

velvet wing
#

any of the actual main retailers.

thick flume
#

And I'm assuming it's only when the item is not on sale?

velvet wing
#

so like if you try to price match amazon, it has to be sold by amazon, not a side company

thick flume
#

Is it ever a smart idea to buy an open box monitor?

velvet wing
#

i think they pricematch sales too, im not sure tho.

thick flume
#

Do you ever use Amazon Warehouse

velvet wing
#

it can be, yes. usually openbox means it is functional but someone didnt want it for some reason or another.

#

no i haven't

#

I wouldn't buy openbox online

thick flume
#

I'm in agreement with that

#

What's the difference between used and refurbished?

velvet wing
#

used means it was used and resold as is, refurbished means it was either broken and repaired or even just somewhat cleaned up. refurbished is usually in better condition than repaired but is not always free of defects, just should be functioning normally

#

if you have more questions you should ask elsewhere like build-chat cause this section is supposed to be used only to share deals found online 😛

cursive gust
#

@velvet wing I think most, if not all b450 board are out there

velvet wing
#

they might be but they might also have some open box or clearance boards there still. last i went they still had a ton of mobos but that was over a month ago. but they are still working hard to get in a ton of stock

cursive gust
#

oh i want to go

#

but when I called they say all the b450s are out

if i were to buy those 3 right now, worth it?

mild jetty
#

ehh idk

#

you're only saving $1 @thick flume

#

i added all the prices up individually lmao and it came out to 356

thick flume
#

But I don't think the prices are going to go much lower, not until new stuff comes out at the end of the year

#

Also honey browser extension might have some stuff

mild jetty
#

on amazon it normally doesnt

#

and they're releasing the b550s in a month if you want to wait

#

and i saw that ram for like $8 less on newegg the other day

thick flume
#

Nice

#

The Asus dual fan GPU I was looking at just went up $100

That's why I'm swapping over to the gigabyte three fan 2070 super not the Asus one

I've seen several reviewers talking about right now not being a good time to build due to price hikes and supply shortage.

slowly

For sure.but if I buy the things that are in stock right now I can wait get paid and purchase the things that return to stock once they are on shelves

Precisely kisuke

I just recently swapped cases but only because cases don't seem to be affected by any of this crap

thick flume
#

Keep in mind I make less than $800 a month on disability living in southern California, I don't mind sharing my income. Or lack of it

#

I just got the stimulus that we all did in the United States, and I'm looking to upgrade my i-5 to a Ryzen 5 3600X

I'm hoping $1,400 can do it

My 970 I want to be a 2070 super

Yeah I did

it's a nice place to start

you gonna be ocing?

also not the prettiest but its cheaper

I don't need RGB either, photo sensitive epilepsy

ohh ok

placid cliff

But I'm fine with my Corsair

mild jetty
#

i was ab to paste some in here

thick flume
#

Sam I love my Corsair

#

I have a carbide $400 case, I have 500 PSU I have RAM

#

400r**

#

Not 400$

placid cliff
#

I have the Enthoo 719, it's massive and beautiful!

thick flume
mild jetty
#

i'm looking for a case currently

#

kinda hard ngl

thick flume
#

The reason why my poor ass got this cases because it came with three fans pre-installed

#

That way I didn't have to go buy three extra fans

#

:)

#

With the fan that comes with 3600X that will be for

#

Four

#

Does that set up on PC part picker look like something worth picking up?

placid cliff
#

I looked at the Carbide but settled on the Enthoo

thick flume
#

Repaste

placid cliff
#

Not bad at all, not many cases have room for optical drives anymore though.

fringe cave
#

Is it worth getting the deep cool 5 in 1 rgb fans?

mild jetty
#

your choice imo

#

cause its rgb

#

also

#

for that 760W psu

#

**750

#

you think you need something that big or nah?

placid cliff
#

I'm not a big fan of rgb so I wouldn't be one to ask, I leave my light strip on dark red.

#

and the white Gamer Storm fans reflect it really nicely

mild jetty
#

the taste

#

also ab that blu-ray im assuming you included it because you need/want it? @thick flume

thick flume
#

Just for game installation

#

I don't really think I'm going to be burning anything, maybe I just need a reader and not a writer

#

750 for future upgrades

placid cliff
#

I have a BDRW just laying around because I haven't had a need for it in over 2 years

thick flume
#

But I could go down to 650

#

I'd prefer not to though

mild jetty
#

okok

#

and about the 3600X

#

you gonna be overclocking?

#

or you just want higher speed out of the box?

thick flume
#

No I just want 1440 gaming at 60 to 100 frames per second

#

Yeah out of the box

mild jetty
#

oh ok

thick flume
#

I might do a little Adobe Photoshop if I decide to later on but not immediately

#

And I might also pick up a digital camera

mild jetty
#

yeah cause the 3600 would be the better if you didnt want it out of the box

thick flume
#

So any excess USB ports are very welcome

I must say that Obsidian 1000D is a beautiful case but my Alphacool Eisbaer Extreme wouldn't fit so I bypassed it

Shoot!

mild jetty
#

lmao

thick flume
#

My mistake soeey:.

mild jetty
#

happens to the best of us

thick flume
#

Effin cuh ray zee

placid cliff
#

el oh el

thick flume
#

So should I buy those three parts? Or should I wait for the 550

#

I think I might just buy the three parts. I don't need the 550 motherboard I don't think, especially if it's not going to be coming out anytime soon

mild jetty
#

its supposed to come out next month

thick flume
#

Oh shoot

#

June 16, 2020

#

Lol

mild jetty
#

yeah

thick flume
#

Nice.

placid cliff
#

Supposed to, but again supply will probaly be limited.

thick flume
#

Would that ram work on it?

mild jetty
#

it shoukd

#

**should

#

yeah thats my dilemma too

#

i want the longevity of the parts

#

and b550 wont give me much performance wise imo

#

also just now realized that the 2070S you have is a steal lmao

thick flume
#

Right?

mild jetty
#

oh now i know why

thick flume
#

$500

#

Because I marked it as purchased

#

Lol

mild jetty
#

its the cooler i think

#

gigabyte has two versions

thick flume
#

Nice

mild jetty
#

but im not entirely sure

thick flume
#

Would I be losing much if I went for a 260 as opposed to a 2070 super

#

2060

mild jetty
#

nah

#

like a 2060S?

#

i dont think so

#

like the gigabyte models are $100 cheaper

thick flume
#

200

mild jetty
#

really?

#

oh ur looking at a 2060

#

yeah its up to you imo

#

compared to the 2070S you'd be getting about 25% less performance

mild jetty
#

ded ass

#

ya idk

#

to narrow the gap i'd get the 2060S

thick flume
#

I think I'll do that, and buy a 550 Mobo

#

Uegh but do I NEED that

mild jetty
#

it depends

#

idk i'll prolly make my decision based off urs lamo

#

its just ab longevity really

#

but who knows how long b550 will be supported

#

like if its only gonna be 2-3 years then i'll get a b450

#

bcuz i wont upgrade for another 2-3 years

thick flume
#

Is the Ryzen 5 3600x Zen3?

placid cliff
#

2

mild jetty
#

but its supported on the b550s

#

or you could just spend the money that you were gonna spend on the 2070S on a X570 mb instead

thick flume
#

I think I'll go with the 550. I really don't need a motherboard that gigantic

mild jetty
#

yeah my thing is just waiting a month

#

but i'll be pissed if i dont get one whenever they release

thick flume
#

Yeah

#

Which is why I plan on staying up until midnight

#

Loool

mild jetty
#

lmao lets hope

#

i dont wanna have to wait the whole summer

thick flume
#

Same

#

Do they expect the prices to be around the same

mild jetty
#

apparently so if not a little more just on release

#

but any time after that not really

thick flume
#

I did my business, thank you!

#

the Ryzen 5 3600x is on sale for an hour longer

#

209.99

#

it's a little less pricy on Amazon, but everything I needed was in stock on Newegg.

#

I'm happy.

anyone know what gpu I should use if I want RTX and 1080p 100+ fps?

idle nexus
#

anyone know what gpu I should use if I want RTX and 1080p 100+ fps?
@lone depot 100FPS in what games?

mild jetty
#

prolly any

#

idk tho

#

i would say a 2060S

#

but you could also go a 5700xt

#

like for sure getting over 100fps in any game at 1080p i think

#

a 2070S would be overkill imo

junior marsh
#

@mild jetty he wants rtx and with ray tracing on a ultra settings 1080 he wont be able to do it

mild jetty
#

Lmao man's insane

#

There aren't even too many games that have it

finite fjord
#

@lone depot RTX 3080Ti

#

because DRX and 100+ fps dont go together

#

yet

tawny quest
lone depot
#

yes

#

like 100fps ultra on non rtx games

#

like WoT and WT and FH4

#

and like maybe 60fps on RTX minecraft max

hollow prawn
#

War thunder is really easy to run so far

#

easy 141fps lock on high on my 2070

#

WoT I would think is even easier lol

#

its got small maps, simpler mechanics, simpler graphics imo

Hi peeps,

need some opinions on how much should sell this together for? they are used

Motherboard: Maximus Hero VIII
CPU: Intel I7 6700K
CPU Fan: Hyper Evo 212
RAM: 32GB Rip Raws DDR4 2400 (8GB x 4)

grim talon
#

Since it's an i7 and since theres a lot of ram...

#

Dude you could probably sell it for like $400 USD or more

#

That's how much they're selling for on eBay @jade dagger

jade dagger
#

even though its used?

grim talon
#

yep

subtle leaf
finite fjord
#

@jade dagger Eh, kinda hard to say. Intel retains such a dumb high value even when used for no reason. But I mean a new 3300x ($120), decent b450 ($98), 32gb RAM ($120), and basic cooler ($25) isnt too much. Total is $358 new for equivalent hardware

thick flume
#

can anyone find me a good nvme m.2 to put into my MOBO for windows install?

#

I'm torn between Samsung and WD Black

#

and why /why not with a heatsink?

#

Anybody still have the code for the cooler master discount?

Someone say Cooler Master?

hollow prawn

Coolermaster is good

placid cliff
#

Yes they are, still want a Cosmos just didn't fit my current needs

cursive gust
#

@thick flume why samsung or WD black when there's quality options like mp34?

placid cliff
#

mp34? being nosy

#

@thick flume if this helps any, I recently replaced my Inte 660p that I suspected kept black screening my machine. I was right, replaced it with a Seagate Firecuda 520, great speed results and stability now. Also something to consider is how will some other companies handle the warranty if something does go wrong, never had an issue with Seagate, WD, Gigabyte, Samsung, Crucial, etc...

any good canadian sites for building a gaming pc

lusty harness
#

Whenever I go and buy one of these ridiculously discounted items, such as the RX 570s, Ebay freaks out, forgets my preferred payment, and makes me login to Paypal again before either refusing to let me go back to checkout or making me use my credit card which always fails.

Ever since this has happened to me with SSDs, I've taken it to mean that the seller is hacked and that the item is never gonna ship. Stay safe out there, folks.

EDIT: One of the listings has been taken down and the other has sold out entirely. Watch the shenanigans ensue. sip

It's only the base game that's free on the Epic store. No expansions, no DLC.

@hollow wolf I just used the 4K TV I already owned, because 60Hz in 4K was my sole requirement as well

well im leaning more towards a monitor between 25" and 30"

What sucks is, in terms of 4K gaming monitors, 4K TVs that are much larger go for a somewhat similar price

Ignore the people telling you different higher refresh rates don't make a significant difference. It purely depends on the person and how well they process lots of information being thrown at them. I own a 240hz and 144hz monitor. Before I got the 240hz I would overclock my 144hz. Even mild overclock was noticeable. Since getting the 240hz and comparing them side by side the difference is night and day. I also tend to respond to visuals very quickly and with a keen eye. I would say to anyone trying to choose that if it is within your budget to go with a higher refresh rate, go ahead and do it. Best case scenario you immediately see the difference. Possible scenario over time you adjust and eventually can tell the difference. Worst case scenario it was within your budget anyway and higher fps/refresh rate still = lower input latency, faster response times, and better frame times (assuming you have the hardware to drive it).
