I’m probably just gonna go with the b550 aorus elite

#

Might switch up the case though was thinking of getting a Corsair one with a msi mobo since they are partnered n all that

#

But if I’m going aorus ima just go with a meshify c

warm bane
#

@lone depot I think I seen the b550 Aorus pro on sale somewhere

lone depot
#

The elite is 156 rn on Newegg

#

What’s the difference between elite and pro @warm bane

warm bane
#

Well idk for certain. The Aorus Pro has a somewhat more capable VRM. But some reviewers will quickly point out that because the Pro doesn’t even offer a type c header it isn’t worth getting over the Elite. I think the Elite is actually just fine.

#

Aorus will be launching the V2 version of the Pro in Dec. it does have a type c header. I expect a 200$ price point at first tho.

granite rock
#

im gonna wait till black friay

#

to get a better prebuilt

pale linden
#

Building your own is better and cheaper

granite rock
#

i dont really want to

#

if I buy the right thing im good

deep barn
#

there's some prebuilts that aren't that much more expensive than building yourself and if you're not savvy already it can take a long time to build a computer, plus a lot of places will give you like a year of free service so it's kind of a good deal if you're not technically savvy

mild jetty
#

ya lmao

#

@pale linden theres a lot on neweggs website for the black friday ad

#

i would recommend asus' pre-built although not the sexiest for the price you actually cant beat it

granite rock
#

"sexiest"

#

alright

#

ill check some

mild jetty
#

a 3700x with a 2060s for $1050

#

lmao

deep barn
#

dang that's pretty good

spare wave
#

I think you could squeeze more out of it for 1050

deep barn
#

definitely if you buy used

spare wave
#

Not even used

#

There’s 3070 1k builds

deep barn
#

yeah if you can get one

#

I'm super lucky I got one lurking here the other day lol

mild jetty
#

lmao this man talkin like you could get your hands on a 3070

#

i wouldnt recommend that pre-built if you could get a 3070 silly

spare wave
#

Even still I would personally wait until they’re available

#

The performance increase would be worth it

mild jetty
#

so would i

spare wave
mild jetty
#

someone coming from a past gen console its an increase regardless

deep barn
#

there are some companies selling 3070 prebuilts, and apparently nvidia has a good track record of supplying system integrators before individual consumers

mild jetty
#

still they're overpriced

spare wave
#

I’ve seen prebuilts up for longer

#

Eh

#

The gap is closing for overpricing

#

Still not ideal but like

mild jetty
#

slowly

#

exactly

spare wave
#

There’s definitely been times where I just wanna sell my parts and go for a prebuilt cause I’m nervous for building

mild jetty
#

you cant try and justify that $1300+ price tag for a $500 card over a $500 console

spare wave
#

Besides my $600 3070 and $300 5600x could make me stleast 300-400 in profit LOL

mild jetty
#

so

deep barn
#

lol I'm actually in the exact same boat right now @spare wave

spare wave
#

I can justify a $500 build over a $500 console

mild jetty
#

how'd you get them lmao

spare wave
#

Wdym how lmao

#

I bought em?

mild jetty
#

no you cant lmao

#

ya but where my guy

spare wave
#

Newegg and microcenter

mild jetty
#

the bloodshed

deep barn
#

I got my 5600x at Micro Center on launch day, lined up 20 minutes after open and they were still in stock

mild jetty
#

mmm

#

nice

#

i dont live near one

spare wave
#

Both parts were equally easy to get

mild jetty
#

so rip

spare wave
#

I drove an hour to a microcenter with 1 3070 in stock and nobody else got it

mild jetty
#

mm

spare wave
#

Microcenter is easily the safest bet

mild jetty
#

i live 4 hours away

#

cant justify it with corona imo

spare wave
#

Ok that’s a lot more

#

Which microcenter lmao

deep barn
#

I'm glad I didn't wait overnight for a 3070 because it seems like they were sold out pretty fast

mild jetty
#

ya

#

it was bad

spare wave
#

They did

mild jetty
#

waiting on the 3060

spare wave
#

I’m not gonna complain I didn’t even wait long

#

Just walked in and walked out

mild jetty
#

or the 6900xt

spare wave
#

Got it on Election Day though that could’ve helped

mild jetty
#

prolly gonna go for the 3060

spare wave
#

Those two cards are very different in performance lmaoo

mild jetty
#

ya ik

#

but i kinda want some rtx

#

and based of amds cards with "rtx" its pretty bad

deep barn
#

yeah I waited till the morning of launch on the 6800xt and people were saying not to even try, at my local Micro Center they had TWO xt's and 10 6800s

mild jetty
#

in comparison to nvidias new cards

spare wave
#

Lmaooo

#

Thsts terrible

#

And nvidia is on to their second gen ray tracing ofc it’s going to be better

deep barn
#

yeah, there were a few people that stayed to see if a truck would show up but idk how they fared lol

spare wave
#

And AMD isn’t true ray tracing I believe

mild jetty
#

exactly

#

but was just hoping for more

#

thats the only thing i want tbh

#

my card can handle pretty much everything i throw at it rn so its not a big problem

deep barn
#

apparently CP2077 isn't gonna support RT on AMD at launch

mild jetty
#

expected

spare wave
#

Yeah

mild jetty
#

im not getting that game for a few months until after it comes out

#

so im fine

spare wave
#

I hope Valhalla will support ray tracing

mild jetty
#

hopefully

spare wave
#

I’m buying cyberpunk the day finals end

deep barn
#

oh you gonna wait on discounted pricing?

#

ah

mild jetty
#

mm ya lmao

spare wave
#

I’m building my PC with the specs in my name on the day finals end and then buying cyberpunk lmao

deep barn
#

I wonder how long it'll be till they discount it lol

#

they've spent like 8 years on the game so they might wanna make their money back

mild jetty
#

ya

spare wave
#

Cyberpunk?

#

Bro them not having an online mode ready at launch is their biggest mistake

mild jetty
#

actually yes

spare wave
#

They said online would take a few YEARS for them to come out with

mild jetty
#

cause im not exactly understanding how it'll work tbh

#

im thinking gta kinda but like a lot more open world

#

even then though

#

gta online was readily available

spare wave
#

Idek what cyber punk is

#

I’m kinda going in blind

mild jetty
#

its gta

#

but future

#

and better

#

hopefully

spare wave
#

The only detail I know tbh is basically that Keanu reeves is like the main character

mild jetty
spare wave
#

I think I’ll be able to run ACV at 165fps at 1080P

deep barn
#

what is this 30FPS recommended

#

why would you ever recommend 30fps I don't even

spare wave
#

30 fps is the bear minimum people can withstand

deep barn
#

it's better for that cinematic experience FeelsSmugMan

spare wave
#

Lmao

#

If this game doesn’t go to 165 frames at least I’m refunding my 3070

#

I’m scalping it

deep barn
#

hahaha

#

honestly if you did that you could probably sell it for at least 3080 MSRP

hollow wolf
#

Whar

#

No

#

30hz is ok

#

My aio has variable refresh rate

spare wave
#

I can’t do 30 for that long

hollow wolf
#

I keep it at 30hz

#

My aio is 30hz

spare wave
#

Yes you don’t game on your AIO though

deep barn
#

I just paid $500 for a 1440p ultrawide 120hz gsync display, I want my 120hz

hollow wolf
#

Haahahaaaa

#

Sadge

#

Bet it wasn't even ips

deep barn
#

it is IPS FeelsSmugMan

hollow wolf
#

mm

#

Sounds good

deep barn
#

Predator X34p used

hollow wolf
#

Oh

#

Ysed

deep barn
#

it's in excellent condition

hollow wolf
#

Used*

#

Ehh

deep barn
#

I verified it before I left with it

#

took my computer there and hooked it up in his garage on the floor lol

spare wave
#

I don’t even know what panel my monitor has

#

How do I check lamp

#

Lmao

deep barn
#

some third party manufacturers are able to take a panel and wring out every last drop of performance from it

spare wave
#

What panel do I have

#

Is it IPS

#

I think it is

#

Never mind it’s TN I think

#

I don’t know lmao what’s the benefits of a TN panel

low silo
#

well, it’s cheap

#

viewing angles are not good

deep barn
#

they were able to drive the refresh rates higher on TNs than other panels

#

they were some of the first GSync/Freesync panels out

#

there's 360hz panels coming out now

#

pretty crazy, although the diminishing returns have shown themselves lol

#

nvidia reflex is probably the next big advancement

fresh cobalt
#

Weren’t 360hz panels announced a while ago but didn’t have too much hype

#

And yeah I agree diminishing returns really have shown themselves

#

Only thing going for the average consumers is if 360hz is announced, 144 and 240 are discounted lol

deep barn
#

yeah I'm not about to hold out for a 360hz ultra wide lol

#

I was given an ultrawide at work and I just wasn't able to go back

grave current
#

any cpu deals?

spare wave
#

A TN panel won’t be bad though right

#

Like if i don’t care about color too much and just want something with high refresh rate

deep barn
#

it doesn't have the best color accuracy or viewing angles but otherwise it's fine

spare wave
#

What do you mean by viewing angles

#

Plus I play shooting games so a .5MS delay is so good

deep barn
#

like you have to view it from pretty head on or else you can't see it

spare wave
#

Oh that’s not an issue

#

And the .5MS delay is definitely a plus

deep barn
#

oh looks like you have nvidia reflex

#

oh wait nvm that's a different one

spare wave
#

Nah it’s the built in reaction times

#

I’ll have reflex when I install my 3070

wise marsh
#

@remote heart Sorry, it just occurred to me that the Amazon one I sent before only has one stick of ram in it. Since it's Nvidia, the single stick of ram wouldn't be that big of a deal but it would still be better if it had both channels filled.

deep barn
#

ram isn't that expensive these days

#

although I'm not sure if they sell single sticks of RAM anymore lol

remote heart
#

Yea i noticed and told my friend, i have some ram lying around too i could give to him. Told him he would need a HDD in the future too

deep barn
#

SSDs have gotten cheap enough that it justifies abandoning HDDs altogether imo

wise marsh
#

Cool cool, I just noticed it when I was looking at it again and wanted to make sure that was pointed out.

remote heart
#

The ram timing or frequencies might not match up but W/E he'll be good for now lol. Also he bought the amazon pc, will let you know how it is when he gets it!

wise marsh
#

Oh that's awesome!! 😁 I hope for the best!

remote heart
#

Thanks man! This'll be his first PC but im sure he's going to fall in love with it! He does need a monitor and Peripherals. Any good monitor recommendations?

deep barn
#

does he have nvidia or amd graphics?

remote heart
#

I have An Acer 144hz 1Ms that i got for like $200 on amazon. Think that might be the best deal for high refresh? He has Nvidia.

#

He should be fine with a 60Hz display but it would be nice to get him on a 144hz, if there is any good budget options

deep barn
#

Hardware Unboxed are the best when it comes to monitor reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w1_zOiWQiE

#

they collect a bunch of data including pixel response times between different colors

#

probably the most in-depth analysis you can find

remote heart
#

Cool, thanks! I'm going to check them out!

deep barn
#

wise marsh
#

Does anyone know if Newegg's black Friday deals only apply to items sold and shipped by them or just sold via their site?

mild jetty
#

i think their site in general but i could be wrong

deep barn
#

I'd imagine your best bet would be just to check the price of what you're trying to buy across multiple sites to see if it's a deal

wise marsh
#

Fair

#

Im watching the msi rx 5600 xt and the black Friday deal that starts soon looks great, but Newegg themselves are sold out on the card but they have other suppliers like TheKeyKey that are selling through their site (for like 20 bucks more unfortunately) so I wasn't sure.

deep barn
#

oh yeah that's a tough call

wise marsh
#

I'll have to just wait and see

deep barn
#

maybe email support

wise marsh
#

Good idea! But they don't seem to have an email. You can only call or live message them

#

I'll wait until midnight and if the prices don't change I'll just contact them in the morning

near ravine
#

does anybody know when the 3070s will be restocked

#

and where to actually have a chance of getting one

wise marsh
#

Legit don't think they'll come back in any sort of decent supply until probably next year with how bad these launches have been

will still be some time before anything is built

only have pics of my old PC

cobalt viper

Less than 200

I'd say look for an old Nvidia Tesla K80 on ebay

#

They usually run about the mid 100s

#

Usd ofc

quartz aspen
#

id say 150 usd is my budget

#

need something good for blender

#

thanks for replying

#

apparently the k80 does really bad in blender on blenchmark

cobalt viper
#

Damn

#

Because( to my knowledge) the k80 is garbage at gaming, but a monster in compute, and it SHOULD render like every other card should

#

Hmmm

#

I need to do more research

quartz aspen
#

dw u were right

#

the benchmark was kinda broken

#

on ebay it appears as 250£ for me though

#

Anyone receive the email from Newegg where it says to wait till thursday and friday for massive deals but once you click the downlaod button on the image, it changes to "1000s of our most powerful savings are happening. Don't wait. Check it out today." Should I wait or nah

cobalt viper
#

Ah euros

#

Reee

#

Hmmmm

#

I guess it'll depend on the deal

#

Here in the US people sell the same thing for 150 dollars

quartz aspen
#

oh hey

cobalt viper
#

All the way up to 900

#

Yes

quartz aspen
#

wow

#

thats expensive

#

also pounds :p

#

i think brexit is really ruining the prices here

#

but its also just a small island compared to the us

cobalt viper
#

True, and also we're really wasteful here in the US

#

I got a dell precision T5810 for 150 because they were bieng thrown out by an architecture firm because their warranty JUST expired

#

So imagine servers though

quartz aspen
#

wow

cobalt viper
#

As soon as its 3-4 years old, goes to garbage bin

#

Sad

quartz aspen
#

i mean

#

its like 30 dollar postage from the us to the uk

#

dya think its worth it

#

here the rx 580s are selling for an equivalent of 185 usd

cobalt viper
#

I dont think its too bad

#

Ha

#

Here theyre selling used RX570s and RX580s at new prices

quartz aspen
#

lol rip

#

like i saw a 980 strix for the equivalent of 120 usd, is that good

#

cuda would definitely be decent for rendering

cobalt viper
#

Hmmm 🤔
It definitely would be decent
But im not too sure about the 900-series cards

#

What would a 980 be equivalent to in 1k series terms?

quartz aspen
#

hmm

#

1060

#

6gb

cobalt viper
#

Ah, that's not too bad then

#

But check 1060 6gb card prices then

#

Maybe you can find something equivalent for cheaper y'know?

quartz aspen
#

yeah but the thing is

#

1060s are expensiver

#

sadly

#

roughly 200 dollars

#

r there any good value cards in the us, cos shipping isnt too bad

cobalt viper

Let me check real quick

This maybe?

restive hound
#

how much does cyber monday actually effect prices on amazon and newegg

cobalt viper
#

Well tbh

#

Not at all

restive hound
#

nice

cobalt viper
#

Companies usually start raising prices months before black friday

restive hound
#

oh lmao

#

clever

cobalt viper
#

And then black friday deals happen and you're spending the same amount of money

restive hound
#

ryzen hours

#

except that was just a shortage

#

right

cobalt viper
#

It actually freaking genius

restive hound
#

like quadruple the purchases and the same price

#

mega profit

cobalt viper
#

Ye ryzen chips are (hopefully) a temp shortage

restive hound
#

i had to switch to an i5-10400 for my build

#

i was gonna get a 3600

#

but apparently the i5 is on par

cobalt viper
#

Ye the i5 is on par because intel has been dropping their prices to be competitive with AMD

#

Still would go with ryzen tho tbh (lmfao)

restive hound
#

even at its current price?

cobalt viper
#

Yes

#

wait

#

Whats the price for a 3600 and a 10400

restive hound
#

3600 is like $260 rn

#

its stupid

#

10400 is $150

#

money

lime vessel
#

You could just wait for price drop

restive hound
#

should i

#

i dont mind intel

#

and the 10400 is on par if not better with the mobo im getting

cobalt viper
#

Ooof

#

Then defo the 10400

#

110 dollar price difference is hard to beat

restive hound
#

yeah this build is already going to break my budget

cobalt viper
#

Lmao

restive hound
#

looks like it went $4 down overnight

cobalt viper

You should see the build im planning then if you're overbudget

restive hound

do you have a competent job though

cobalt viper

No lmfao

restive hound

ouch

cobalt viper
#

3.3 GRAND

#

Not including watercooling stuff

restive hound
#

damn

#

mine is just $884

cobalt viper
#

Yes damn is correct

#

Though tbh 500 dollars of that i can skip out a bit on because i went overkill on the storage devices on pcpp

#

Like a 10tb 7200rpm hdd and a 2tb nvme ssd

#

Its a 5950x + 6900xt watercooled matx build

#

And its in planning

What are you even going to do on it

cobalt viper

Its just overkill ik

is there a way to view the change in price of certain parts over time

i want to make sure im not getting overpriced stuff

mighty jolt
#

Is it the lighting or does that 10th gen i9 look burnt on the bottom?

lone depot
#

Pcpartpickee has a price history

cursive lintel
#

Have you guys found any good gpu deals for black Friday or maybe any upcoming ones for cyber Monday? Preferably around $200 range

granite rock
#

I really hope this goes on sale

#

maybe to like 650

lone depot
#

Just build it

#

Cheaper

#

Prebuilts are gonna cut cost somewhere. PSU, RAM, etc

#

They gotta make profit somehow

lone depot
#

the 2060 variant is very good value tho

low silo
#

only company I would buy a prebuilt from is redux

#

(wouldn't be buying a prebuilt in the first place though)

granite rock
#

damn

cobalt viper
#

No prebuilt gang

granite rock
#

lol

cobalt viper
#

The only time I'd get a prebuilt is when building a pc on a tight budget

#

Like a 150 dollar Dell precision + RX580 or GTX1060 6gb

#

Making it like 300

mighty jolt
#

Yeah

#

@cobalt viper if you like living on the dangerous side, buying for parts and "broken" parts for very cheap and making it work

cobalt viper
#

EXACTLY

#

But

mighty jolt
#

I got a combo of 32 gb of ddr3 ram, an i7 3770k ram, z77 mobo for 30 bucks xD

cobalt viper
#

Idk how to fix em

mighty jolt
#

F

mighty jolt
#

I can't host the cpu but I know there is something wrong with the mobo

#

Test not don't

cobalt viper
#

How does one fix a cpu tho?

mighty jolt
#

Host lol autocorrect why ;-

#

Idk, but I don't think the cpu is broken at all

cobalt viper
#

I found a cheap xeon cpu on ebay that I was gonna get but its broken

mighty jolt
#

F

cobalt viper
#

Its an E5 2699v3 for 90 bucks

#

18-core, 36 thread cpu

#

For 90 bucks

#

Granted it is broken

mighty jolt
#

Oof

cobalt viper
#

And a nvidia tesla k80 for 80 bucks, but it has a cracked memory module

#

If i was proficient at fixing hardware physically, I'd jump on it

#

But nooooo, I had to be born incompetent

mighty jolt
#

If I can fix the motherboard I have, I can sell it for 130 bucks.. which is insane

cobalt viper
#

Thats really good

mighty jolt
#

And I seen someone bid a dead mobo of the samething for 60 bucks

#

No 50 my bad

cobalt viper
#

Whats wrong with the mobo though?

#

Dual channel doesn't work?

#

Because I remember that bieng a huge problem with either the z87 or z77

#

I cant remember which

#

I think it was the z87?

granite rock
#

cod 1660ti medium settings?

#

60hz

#

poor monitor

mighty jolt
#

@cobalt viper the pins were messed up and someone fixed that for me for free

cobalt viper
#

Ah, ok

#

Lga pins are a nightmare

mighty jolt
#

And he said it just didn't boot, so I bought a 10 dollar cpu to test it and still didn't boot

cobalt viper
#

Damn

#

Hmmmm

mighty jolt
#

Now I have all the stuff and I'm planning to just follow tech yes city steps for fixing mobos lol

cobalt viper
#

That seems like a good idea

mighty jolt
#

If I can't fix it I'll have to buy like a 40-60 dollar mobo to overclock it, or just get a cheap oem mobo that I found for like 15 bucks

cobalt viper
#

Hm

mighty jolt
#

Which idk what I want to do for that. I'm planning to flip this stuff for profit so

cobalt viper
#

Does the OEM mobo support overclocking?

mighty jolt
#

No not really

cobalt viper
#

I'm flipping the precision for money as well lmao

#

The guy sold it to me for 150 and it has 32gb (4x8gb) 2133mhz DDR4 ram, Xeon E5 1607V3, and a Quadro K2200

#

So im gonna get an rx570/580/gtx1060 6gb) and upgrade the cpu to a E5 2670v3 and resell it

mighty jolt
#

Nice

#

I'm planning on buying my friends rgb cooler for like 10 bucks, get a 120 gb ssd and 1 tb hard drive. I want to get some rgb fans and a nice case etc

#

I wanna make it look like a 1000 dollar build basically lol

#

But not be completely trash for gaming

#

I probably put a 1070 in it maybe

#

Depends on what deals I can find

cobalt viper
#

I'm gonna toss in a 2tb 7200rpm hdd and a 240 gb ssd too

#

The precision is a beautiful pc

mighty jolt
#

I see, I might get a 240 ssd instead cause they aren't that expensive

#

I would love to see it when it's done

cobalt viper
#

But its very office-y

#

This ssd is one i found in a yard sale

#

I bought it plus some pcie risers for 15 bucks

mighty jolt
#

Oh nice, I live in a very yee haw hill billy state so it's hard to find anything local

cobalt viper
#

Sad

mighty jolt
#

Yeah indeed ;-;

cobalt viper
#

15 dollars

#

Just like

#

YES

mighty jolt
#

Oh nice, I like sandisk actually lol

cobalt viper
#

I think its dramless, but that should be fine as its a boot drive

mighty jolt
#

Yeah

We were talking about used tech deals 😉

no

no talking

links for tech deals, and maybe 3 or 4 reaction messages

not a full blown discussion

It's fine I understand

didn't mean to blow up but I do genuinely come here for deals and it's annoying to sort thru relevant messages looking for deals

opaque rampart

i just found a 2080ti rog srtix oc for 618 cad

#

im dying

hidden thistle
#

Make sure they didn't use that card for mining.

winter patrol

^

opaque rampart
#

condition is new

#

it says

#

20 people bought in the last 24 hours

#

and 60 day return policy

#

heaven 👼

winter patrol
#

618 CAD? thats 472 USD go for it

#

Make sure your PSU can handle it tho, it would suck to have to but a new one for it.

opaque rampart
#

no im making a new build

#

was planning on having a 3070

#

but 2080ti is still perfect

winter patrol
#

👍

lethal swan
#

PumpkinThink 618 cad for a new 2080ti? is it legit

wise marsh
#

Got a link to it?

lethal swan
#

oh no not me, banana boy bought one

wise marsh
#

Ohhhh

lethal swan
#

if it is legit that's a solid deal tho, if it is a new card

opaque rampart
#

i think it is

#

traceable payment method

#

60 day return policy

#

20 sales already

#

this person was like an old scalper xd

lethal swan
#

interesting, good luck on it

opaque rampart
#

most likely

wise marsh
#

I'm talking to someone on facebook that says they're selling a new 1070 for 200 for their boss. They have a high rating on the marketplace, but that price is unreasonably low.

lethal swan
#

yea probably bought a bunch of 2080TI last year and couldn't sell them all kekw

opaque rampart
#

2080ti is right in line with the performance i wanted from a 3070

lethal swan
#

you have more vram headroom too

opaque rampart
#

now i have to rethink my cpu though

#

because now i have like 200 bucks remaining in my pc budget

lethal swan
#

did you have your cpu already?

opaque rampart
#

nah

#

first build

lethal swan
#

oh then that's easier

opaque rampart
#

after watching 9845734985 ltt videos and dissasembling 3 computers im pretty confident in my ability

lethal swan
#

disassembling old oem is a good learning ground

opaque rampart
#

maybe, just maybe i should upgrade to a 3900

#

x

lethal swan
#

do you need the cpu core performance tho?

opaque rampart
#

minecraft

lethal swan
#

I'm not an expert and maybe ppl at other channels would know better, but i think 3900x is overkill for most things

opaque rampart
#

no i think 3800x should cut it

#

maybe i should get a better monitor

#

or a bit more ram

lethal swan
#

for me I got a 3700x for productivity

opaque rampart
#

yeah prolly more ram because 16 and a 2080ti

lethal swan
#

that's a good idea

opaque rampart
#

now i can mod minecraft more

#

xd

lethal swan
opaque rampart
#

since ram is kinda like cheap ish

#

i can upgrade to 32

#

thats a bit overkill tho

#

i could get an ips monitor instead of a va

lethal swan
#

It's fine now I suppose, but anything is better than the ram price from 2018

opaque rampart
#

or maybe gigabit internet

#

because it gets to a point where csgo on 943875 fps doesnt increase skill

#

it comes down to ping

#

hmm

#

so much to choose from

lethal swan
#

you can't use ethernet?

opaque rampart
#

i can

#

lol

#

but i dont have fibre

lethal swan
#

that would be a lot more faster and cheaper

#

oh

#

that makes sense

#

if anything those wifi card range from $15-25 USD

opaque rampart
#

wifi card huh

#

didnt know that was a thing

lethal swan
#

I'm not an expert but maybe people from build chat or something can give advices for what parts to pick from

#

Dumb usually the builds get shredded to pieces

#

so take it w/ a grand of salt

opaque rampart
#

yep

#

went there before

lethal swan
#

but yea wifi card is pretty much plugging into the pcie slot and it just works

#

depending on the mobo of course

opaque rampart
#

wow that easy eh

#

i took apart an old memex prebuilt from windows xp age and it had 6 pcie slots 👀

lethal swan
#

interesting

opaque rampart
#

it also had a phillips graphics card 👀

lethal swan
#

that's from the xp era too lol?

but I think I heard that they cheap out on their parts which is why ltt or like other tech ytbers dont recommended the product

but idk

graceful spire

It's smart that's why

#

It's not 80 plus

#

The thermaltake 80 plus certified PSU's are good

#

I have a Thermaltake GX2 I think

#

It's 80 plus gold

#

600 watts

#

And it's doing fantastic

#

But that's my expirience

spare viper
#

I went with the enermax revolution df because so many people reccomend it

hollow prawn
#

what

#

@graceful spire really depends on the model

#

because the Smart 80+ and 80+ white are the really really bad units

#

the rest are fine, depends on the unit

graceful spire
#

Yeah

#

That's what I said

#

I have a 80 plus Gold

#

Thermaltake

hollow prawn
#

the 80+ ones are the bad ones

graceful spire
#

What

#

?

hollow prawn
#

"80+" is a standard on it's own

#

There's 80+, 80+ white, 80+ gold, etc.

#

their units that are just "80+" are bad

#

most of their gold are decent

graceful spire
#

That is what I meant

#

lmao

hollow wolf

rgb psu is good

graceful spire

hollow prawn

@graceful spire Need to make sure people don't get the wrong idea :P

graceful spire

@hollow prawn Yes for sure

#

I agree

hollow prawn
#

oh yea Corsair is making that CX unit with RGB

hollow wolf
#

@hollow prawn will a 5900x+3080 with full custom loop and a crapton of rgb fans and stuff work on a 750w psu? Im debating 850w Corsair white, or 750w Corsair white with rgb

#

Not sure if the cx unit is argb tho as well

#

It should be i hope

graceful spire
#

Go 950w

#

@hollow wolf Ok cool

hollow prawn
#

oh

#

desk pc then

#

idk

gritty coyote
#

btw is the cv650 a good psu as it comes from corsair and 80plus bronze

hollow prawn
#

cv is meh

#

it's in the usable but I wouldn't call good tier

gritty coyote
#

most retailed price for psus in canada is just stupid

hollow prawn
#

like BR and BA

gritty coyote
#

what 600w psu would you recommend under $100?

hollow prawn
#

CV is usable

gritty coyote
#

but is it like long-term efficient or short term or will that just depend on me when I buy it?

hollow prawn
#

My standard of usable is will work fine, just not great say ripple.

gritty coyote

ah ok thnx then

ill look forward to other psu's but cv is an option for now

@sly patrol yeah it’s not bad then

And 400-500 more for the 3080
