no not that deal

#

something found on amazon

vague silo
#

What?

vital gust
#

$115 for a 144hz display with freesync. Seems almost too good to be true

vague silo
#

What’s the delay?

#

10ms?

vital gust
#

1ms (MPRT)

#

whatever that means

#

im still new to monitor hunting

vague silo
#

That’s pretty good then

vital gust
#

it is a VA panel, so it doesnt have the response times of a TN

#

but it does have a wide array of colors, although im not sure whats normal for a VA

#

it claims "125.9% sRGB/96.1% NTSC"

vague silo
#

I think you would be fine 60hz wouldn’t you ? After all you have a 1650 super which is ideal for 1080p 60fps

vital gust
#

Call it dumb, but when buying something new i feel like it should be some sort of upgrade to justify the cost

#

my TV can already do 60hz, so buying another 60hz display, in my opinion, doesnt justify the 80ish id spend

vague silo
#

You could instead get a 60hz 1080p monitor for $60 and use the extrs to updgrsdd your pc

vital gust
#

that is a point

digital salmon
#

Damn those microcenter deals made me doubt about what processor to get

#

Lol

vital gust
#

yeah its insane

#

makes me kinda wish i had an lga 1151 board. All i have is ryzen, so no new intel cpu for me

digital salmon
#

So right now, I can get a R5 5600x for $350 on my hometown in Mexico

#

Taxes included

#

Or the i9 at microcenter for 325 with taxes

#

But I’d need a cooler for the i9

vital gust
#

youd probably want to get a $60 noctua

#

pretty good from what i hear

digital salmon
#

Yep, best in the market

vital gust
#

im still running stock amd from the 2700x

#

not a bad cooler, as i dont overclock

digital salmon
#

I’ll have to do a spreadsheet on excel tomorrow with different prices and consider my cpu choice

vital gust
digital salmon
#

Most def

#

Didn’t know there was a channel for those specifics

#

Might aswell ask for the cpu there too

vital gust
#

hold up an i7-10700k is only $329?

#

i mean its no 9900k for $300, but still

digital salmon
#

I’m getting crazy lmao

#

This is exciting

#

Last pc I built was like 10 years ago

#

No, 8

#

When I was 15

vital gust
#

in my school, we had an IT shop and PC parts that would either collect dust or be thrown away

digital salmon
#

It sucks cuz now that I finished college and have a job as an engineer I’ve got the money to build finally

#

But covid did it’s thing

vital gust
#

while the rest of the school was using puny optiplex 755s, i has a frankenstein pc

#

unknown intel cpu, 32gb ddr3 ram, some old quattro gpu, and a 750 watt psu

digital salmon
#

Unknown intel cpu

#

Lmao

#

Yike

#

Does anyone know about or have a good deal for a 22 inch benq?

ember sky
#

whats the diff between ddr3 and 4?

ember sky
lone depot
#

i think it isn't even on the market anymore 😮

lone depot
#

Not bad for a legit key

cosmic flicker
#

People actually pay for windows?

lone depot
#

You have to pay for windows if you want it activated

cosmic flicker
#

Oh

#

Well actually you “don’t”

austere thunder
#

Oof

#

Bad price

cosmic flicker
#

Free is the only price to pay for windows, activated or not.

austere thunder
#

My brother actually bought Win10 Pro for retail price lmao

cosmic flicker
#

F

#

Poor kid

#

Honestly though, if you need windows look up how to activate windows for free and use the extra money to improve your build.

You guys pay for a windows 10 key?

#

Apex 5 - $35 off

digital salmon
#

it has some mixed reviews lol

errant sigil
#

apex 5 is membrane iirc

tiny cargo
#

it's a decent mecha membrane thing

pale linden
# proud cove wot is oem

It’s a windows activation key that you need to enter when installing windows. If you don’t buy one then after one month of using windows it won’t allow you to use it anymore

warm bane
#

thats not true. It only wont allow you to change some personalizing features like wallpaper and put a watermark on stuff. You could use windows just fine without activation forever @pale linden

pale linden
warm bane
#

Well ya. Just buy em on eBay.

pale linden
#

I didn’t buy from eBay

#

I got a discount from Microsoft since someone in my family works there

wide citrus
#

For mail in rebates do you have to rip the UPC code off or can you take a picture and print that out?

#

Good substitute for a r5 3600 rn

pale linden
#

I’d rather use the wd sn550

#

It’s not much more and way faster

#

The sn550 is nvme rather than sata

#

$110?

#

I got it for $95

#

No it’s not terrible a pro yt pc builder dude has it in his system

#

I’m not lying and don’t call me bud

#

And the wd sn550 is not $110 it’s $104.99

#

Wrong

#

Shipping free

#

And with tax it’s $112

wide trout
#

this is for tech-deals, not conversation

pale linden
#

And also the sn550 isn’t bad since it has 5 out of 5 eggs

wide trout
mild jetty
#

You didn't have to keep cooking him kekw @wide trout

pale linden
#

He deleted all his messages lol

mild jetty
wide trout
#

bruh i just want people to see this great deal, is that too much to ask?

mild jetty
#

Fr

#

Ppl blind

pale linden
#

No but I’m just saying the wd sn550 is more worth it

wide trout
#

and you are wrong

#

thats all there is to it

pale linden
#

No I’m not

wide trout
#

the vast majority of people here would disagree

pale linden
#

Then ask them

wide trout
#

im not gonna bother them over something so irrelevant

glass mason
#

sn550 is worth it on sale for a fast storage ssd

pale linden
#

Exactly see

#

It’s 4 times faster

wide trout
#

note the word "on sale"

pale linden
#

It is on sale

glass mason
#

by how much

pale linden
glass mason
#

isnt that dramless?

pale linden
#

?

#

What is dram

wide trout
#

115 for a sn550 vs 70 for a new WD ssd off FB market

pale linden
#

That’s not $115

wide trout
#

tax

sinful merlin
#

Lmao

wide trout
wide trout
glass mason
#

665p is better

wide trout
#

dont tell me im wrong

#

"cash" lmaoooo

pale linden
#

Ok stop being rude

glass mason
#

better but not as much as on sale as it was before

#

before it was like $90

wide trout
#

665p is significantly better

final scarab
#

That 90 dollar sale was a steal

wide trout
#

yeah

glass mason
#

sure its slightly slower but that dram is what makes it better than the sn550

mild jetty
#

Mans was arguing the whole time and didn't know what dram is SeriousEgg

#

He toxic fr

#

Could've just asked

pale linden
#

Shut up

pale linden

Why do I have to I never have to see your faces again

lucid marsh

now someone serve up some juicy tech deals

final scarab

This is cringe, I'm out ✌

glass mason
lucid marsh
#

fr tho this is a good deal

#

64% off

#

1,450 dollars saved 😳

mild jetty
#

I think this is a pretty swell deal

glass mason
#

I saw that, if you want a brand new vr headset its not too shabby

mild jetty
#

I almost bought it but I want a 3070 instead Chef_Kiss

lucid marsh
#

but you could turn around and sell it at retail price

#

and make 1400 dollars

#

🤔

mild jetty
#

You know anyone willing to buy a generator??

lucid marsh
mild jetty
#

Then buy it SeriousEgg

lucid marsh
#

I dont have 700 dollars ;-;

mild jetty

I wanna see the receipt too kekw

#

Please look into Oculus's person information concerns.

astral fox
#

Does anyone have that oculus that can comment if it’s worth getting?

mild jetty
#

Motion sickness

#

That's about it

fierce marsh
#

rift s is great but you might as well get the Quest 2 now if you're gonna get an oculus headset

lucid marsh
#

wanna loan me 700 dollars and split the profit @mild jetty

#

xD

astral fox
acoustic fossil
#

Would not recommend oculus. They force you to sign into Facebook. Which tracks your purchasing, height, audio, friends, location, and basically everything you do.

#

And see.

astral fox
acoustic fossil
#

That's how they get their low prices.

lucid marsh
lucid marsh
#

that sounds iffy

acoustic fossil
#

Oculus is owned by facebook.

lucid marsh
#

nough said

#

cancel oculus

#

xD

fierce marsh
# astral fox Any particular reason why?

Quest 2 is the newest Oculus headset. cheaper than Rift S (or same price depending on which storage space you choose), better display, and wireless capability

tall dawn
#

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

fierce marsh
#

facebook concerns are legit tho

acoustic fossil
#

Hence the nickname "oculus spy"

tall dawn
#

Mhmz

fierce marsh
#

i still use it because i love VR and dont have the money rn to spend on a more expensive headset. theyre the most affordable

#

but it is a real concern

acoustic fossil
#

There's alot of mixed reality headsets..

fierce marsh
#

much worse quality though. and i had the rift s before facebook was mandatory so thats just the one i have

acoustic fossil
#

Well depends what you look at.

lean flare

I'm not sure what happened but with techy servers when newbies come in it's super toxic.

Does it have DRAM?

glass mason
#

@digital salmon its not great I wouldnt

#

I have that in my second build and it isnt amazing

#

its also dramless

digital salmon
#

Is it compared to that ?

glass mason
#

ah the 2.5 inch ssd

digital salmon
#

Ye

glass mason
#

I mean the m.2 is way faster

#

but I wouldnt get that one

digital salmon
#

Why tho?

glass mason
#

id go SN750, 970 evo, or MP34

#

because its dramless and it isnt amazing for the boot drive

#

not as snappy as it can be

digital salmon
#

What is dram? Haha I tried to google it but didn’t understand it’s use

#

I mean if it is faster than my current 2.5 drive then I’m more than okay with it

glass mason
#

eh still for that price for that one you could get a better one @digital salmon

#

dram is a cache on the chip, kinda like its own ram

digital salmon
#

Hmm lemme watch that, thanks man, you’ve been really helpful 😄

glass mason
#

np

lean flare
mild jetty
#

Yeah but he was rude about it lmao

#

He was advocating for a worse deal lmao

pallid saddle
#

lmao what happened in this chat

mild jetty
#

That dude who blocked me was being toxic

pallid saddle
#

LOL TOXIC IN A TECH DISCORD

mild jetty
#

I was just saying how it is and he blocked me

#

All because he didn't know what dram is and he was trying to justify a pretty high priced nvme being that it's dramless kekw

pallid saddle
#

yooo good deal on ARGB fans

mild jetty
#

Only if I needed them SeriousEgg

pallid saddle
#

yea they're compatible with iCUE

mild jetty
#

W

rough bear
mild jetty
#

Idk

#

He's in the techie role so it made sense

#

As to why he would call it out as not such a "tech deal"

#

And then linked one with dram

#

I didn't check either one of them out

pallid saddle
#

yea it was a SN550

#

its perfectly fine but there are def better options than a 115$ drive

#

here's a 100$ psu that'll be enough for everything until a 3090

vital socket
#

650w is sketch for something like a 3080, even if its a super flower

acoustic fossil
#

if its really good quality you Might be able to get away with it

Yo I just joined. Do y’all let people know when graphics card restocks happen? I want a 1660 ti or 2060 super and i never know when they get restocked

digital salmon
#

follow newegg on twitter

#

they post restock alerts

#

but it will be in combo with another component

#

psu or ram most likely

#

oh sorry i tought u were looking for rtx 30 series

#

i just got a 1660super for a decent price

#

turn on auto notify and you should be able to get it

solid dune
#

you could probably find one for slightly cheaper, but 239 isnt bad at all for new

#

find one used for cheaper*

#

im hoping that once the 3000 series is in good stock, the used 2000 and 1000 series stuff will be pretty cheap

#

can someone please help me , what’s the best method to get a 3000seriea gpu on newegg

@quasi bronze they post on Twitter like 5 minutes before the drop a lot of the times. After the post go to Newegg and log in and click and hope. It is tough right now

elder grove
#

it really depends on the quality of your area's power, as well
Where I live has terrible power, and brownouts have fried one of our computers so far

analog frost
elder grove
#

no, it had no surge protector (and the psu didn't either)

#

so smoke came out of that machine

analog frost
#

i’d definitely recommend one for any computers or appliances you have if brownouts are frequent

Imagine no surge protector or ups oof

the 3100 was in sto😭 ck for a lil but i missed it

astral fox
#

Is it true Nvidia cards work well with FreeSync too?

flat swift
#

Depends on the card

#

I think the 2000 series and up do but not the 1000 series

astral fox
#

Okay thanks I'll do some more research. Definitely in the market for a 3000 series though.

flat swift
#

Yeah, that should be fine

#

Ok, I was a bit off. Factual information: Adaptive Sync is only being enabled on GTX 10-series and RTX 20-series graphics cards as well, with no plans to activate it in older GPUs. Anything 10 series and up should work

#

There's also a public Goole Doc to check compatibility for the monitor

it's a pretty good deal but 256gb total storage is pretty tight

windows and COD leaves you with 40 gb lol

I think cod is 261gb now

#

200gb for a game is bs

#

esp a shooter

viscid turtle
#

I hate how I always see expensive gpus but the cpus are always fairly cheap xd

candid shadow
#

i could understand flight sim taking up literally 250GB but how tf does a shooter use all that storage?

viscid turtle
#

I've seen alotta 1k gpus and I only ever see cpus at 200,to 500

#

also uh this is a deal for a intel i7

#

ah nvm

#

cant send links :/

candid shadow
#

GPUs are expensive cuz of a more-or-less stagnant company (AMD), and an innovative company (NVIDIA) run a duopoly

viscid turtle
#

an i7 that was only around 200 bucks

#

nope 8700k

candid shadow
#

CPUs are kinda the same but AMD is the innovative one

viscid turtle
#

oh lol

hollow prawn
#

I mean

viscid turtle
#

bruh thats old? xd

candid shadow
#

coffee lake is still good

hollow prawn
#

on both sides AMD is the innovative one in terms of architecture

#

and on both sides the other (Intel/Nvidia) are the innovative one in terms of features

viscid turtle
#

I literally have an i5 from a long time ago

hollow prawn
#

Intel has been lacking though, they used to have much more software that's optimized for them

viscid turtle
#

since I got a stupid prebuilt since I was dumb

candid shadow
#

AMD is successful with lower prices cuz zen 2 was actually good. Navi on the other hand was a dumpster fire

viscid turtle
#

where should I buy gpus tho?

since I kinda wanted to buy a 2060

the only thing is that my parents dont let me spend that much cash on parts

hollow prawn
#

see "after a month"

viscid turtle
#

hopefully I can change their minds

hollow prawn
#

after about a month the launch day black screens were getting fixed

candid shadow
#

not just one

hollow prawn
#

Way too many had problems with launch day drivers

viscid turtle
#

did you guys see that honey is doing the giftaway?

hollow prawn
#

see RTX 3080 launch day drivers too

#

with the boosting behavior crashing, and people theorizing it was caps

candid shadow
#

launch day is always bad. I had this firsthand with Zen 2

#

but 6 months post release (Navi) is bs

hollow prawn
#

6 months most of the problems were fixed

#

a friend of mine got it around 5 months or so after launch, basically no driver issues

candid shadow
#

i guess its ymmv

#

but i knew plenty that returned 5700s for 2070Ses cuz of bad drivers

hollow prawn
#

generally most of the black screening driver issues got fixed in the first few months

#

ofc

#

start off with a bad impression and it'll stick with you

Do whatever you can to get a Unify

candid shadow
#

unify didnt come out until this year iirc

hollow wolf
#

asus tuf most pog mobo

hollow prawn
#

Don't remember lel

candid shadow
#

I bought my stuff in july 19

#

i was really wanting an ace, but settled for gaming edge and tbh have no regrets

candid shadow
hollow prawn
#

the x570 plus wifi?

candid shadow
#

my one irl friend uses one

hollow wolf
#

i wouldn't get the non wifi one though

candid shadow
#

yeah my friend got the wifi ver

hollow prawn
#

the only x570 tuf board I can think of is the x570-plus

hollow wolf
#

only thing that pushes the wifi one over the edge is the wifi one

hollow wolf
#

it's good bc it has rgb

candid shadow
#

its a good budget board negl

hollow wolf
#

uh

#

no

hollow prawn
#

it's a sad board nowadays

#

no bios flashback :(

hollow wolf
#

it's everything but budget @candid shadow

hollow wolf
hollow prawn
#

The only person I know irl with it had issues and had to return it

candid shadow
#

if I didnt simp for MSi's bios, i'd've prolly gone asus

hollow prawn
#

tbh I want the good msi bios

hollow wolf
hollow prawn
#

I'm stuck with the stripped down one

hollow wolf
#

how much do you think is budget? a 175$ mobo is certainly not budget

candid shadow
#

its budget compared to what i got

#

lol

#

and this was back at launch

hollow wolf
#

oh?

hollow prawn
#

I mean, b450 max boards xD

hollow wolf
#

what's your list @candid shadow

hollow prawn
#

oh right

candid shadow
#

b450 max are nice

hollow prawn
#

X570-p at launch was 150$

#

it was a nice board

candid shadow
#

gaming edge was $220 iirc

hollow prawn
#

but it ain't 150$ nowadays

candid shadow
#

ace was $340 or so

#

meg ace is sexy

hollow prawn
#

Should've time traveled and grabbed a Unify

hollow wolf
hollow prawn
#

I simp for Unify

hollow wolf
#

@candid shadow i wanna know ur build if u think that a 175$ mobo is budget 🥺

candid shadow
candid shadow
#

its annoying

#

thank you

hollow wolf
#

what's ur list?

candid shadow
#

old ass pics from last year

hollow wolf
#

oh

#

I was expecting some crazy ass build, considering you had a mobo over 200$

hollow prawn
#

oh I see what you did with the d15

candid shadow
#

yeah hehe

hollow prawn
#

smh

#

killed the aesthetics with those tiny fans

#

:P

candid shadow
#

moved the fans to intake, and did some ghetto stuff with the 2 120s

hollow prawn
#

was gonna say wonder if you did what I did to fit in the neos

candid shadow
#

nah, just moved the 140s elsewhere

#

that was the only way to fit the ram

hollow prawn
#

yea

#

I slapped the second fan on the back

#

but it is right up against my side panel

candid shadow
#

imo, it doesnt look bad but im often minority opinion with looks

hollow prawn
#

imo I like d15's aesthetics

#

it's very unique

candid shadow
#

yeah

#

If I upgrade my PC tho, first is GPU, then second will likely be an icegiant thermosiphon. Don't ask. I like wasting money

hollow prawn
#

If I upgrade, I'm prob gonna do both cpu and gpu

#

3800x is nice but

#

I want more single core perf

candid shadow
#

im happy with my 3900x

hollow prawn
#

also my 3800x goes to ~90c with occt

#

but it also is pulling like 120w somehow

candid shadow
#

ew

#

mine pulls 200w with p95 :P

hollow prawn
#

since when did p95 tell you power consumption :P

candid shadow
#

coretemp

#

coretemp tells your power consumption

hollow prawn
#

oh well I relied on occt to tell me power consumption

hollow wolf
hollow prawn
#

oh yea

#

I have it at 1.3v 4.2ghz for whatever reason

#

forgot to turn down voltage

#

uhh

candid shadow
#

It lowers under load

hollow prawn
#

Like

#

is the currency pounds?

uneven pivot
#

Yea

torpid bone
#

I would say no

#

you can get triple aio's for $150ish USD

give or take a little bit

#

which is about 111 pounds

#

(I dont have the symbol for pounds on my keyboard)

uneven pivot

Ok but say if I was going to go with that aio anyways

fading ore
#

but why

torpid bone
#

theeeen you wasted money

fading ore

its one of the worst price/perf cooler

lone depot

Yea

fading ore

possibly the overall worst

torpid bone

yeah

#

even corsair's hydro series is cheaper lol

did you want it for the display on the cpu block?

uneven pivot

Yea lol. I know I shouldn’t do it for looks but it just looks sick

torpid bone

guess what

lone depot
fading ore
#

thats... 40$ more expensive...

torpid bone
#

than what

fading ore
#

than the nzxt one

torpid bone
#

the $150 mark?

#

yeah I think they wanted the display thats customizable?

fading ore
#

yes

torpid bone
#

the nzxt infinity mirror one isnt customizable though?

fading ore
#

it wasnt infinity mirror...

#

it was a z63

torpid bone

the nzxt z63 is $250

lone depot

torpid bone

yeah?

fading ore

thats very much not 250

torpid bone
#

different currency types are not interchangeable for the same amount

obviously

#

but the aorus one is not cheaper

lone depot
torpid bone
#

where are you finding the aorus one?

fading ore
#

uk amazon

#

where they would actually be shopping

torpid bone

and im looking there now too

#

the aorus is 195 while the kraken z63 is 231 is it not?

fading ore
#

in pounds?

torpid bone
#

yes

fading ore
#

where are you getting 195 and 231

#

links?

torpid bone
#

I simply ran a quick search to show that you can get an aio with a customizable display for less money

fading ore
#

the nzxt one is 141...

torpid bone
#

I is seeing the issue

lone depot
#

It is also around 20db quieter

torpid bone
#

unfortunately then sorry amazon is showing me the wrong price

#

I am seeing 195 for the aorus and 232 for the kraken z63

huh, weird

pardon the crude screenshot

thats very weird yeah

either way @uneven pivot look around a little bit more before you buy that if you do

im trying to help someone, we know that other one will work but is not available any longer @oblique moat

oblique moat
#

do you want like 1060 performance?

#

i just dont understand why you want such a specific alternative

tall moat
#

mostly because I dont know much about computer building and I know that the 1060 works with the older computer that we were trying to get the graphics card for

oblique moat
#

any gpu will work with it

#

any new gpu at least

#

its a standard

tall moat
#

i did not know that

#

we are working with a older computer so I didn't know if there were specific requirements that needed to be met as I know some things do require specific requirements so I asked about one I know for sure would work figuring any requirements would be met that way

#

i mean they still work

#

but they are kind of ass

oblique moat
#

they arent ass

#

just dont have the higher trim features

rigid swan
#

you sure?

#

if they cant efficiently run vr, they are ass imo

#

the only gtx card that can actually run vr good is the gtx 1660 super lol

oblique moat
#

it depends on what vr experiences youre talking about

#

a 1660/1650super can run the basics, like superhot and job sim and some other simpler titles

#

vr is still very niche

#

and if you have $ for a vr headset why are you considering a gtx card in the first place?

#

gtx is lower end hardware but that doesnt make it bad

#

i have a 1650 right now actually

#

just for nvenc

#

works great

rigid swan
#

yeah thats fine im just saying compared to the modern medium of GPUs today they are kind of bad

#

that doesnt mean they work for a budget though

lone mango
#

If you overclock gtx 1660 to it's fullest it'll be similar to gtx 1660 super, without spending the extra buck

oblique moat
#

@rigid swan im saying they are the modern medium of gpus

#

1660 still hasnt been replaced

hollow wolf
#

@oblique moat is correct- 1660 lineup is the best gpu, bang for buck, at 1080p gaming

#

espesially with that nvidia reflex there justtttt to back it up in those ga,es

oblique moat
#

if all youre doing is 1080p60

#

youre fine with a 1660s

hollow wolf
#

although you should really be doing 90 or 120

even if u have 60 hz

for me i went from a rx 570 to msi rtx 3070 so i kind of just never really cared for the 1660 cards

to be fair it makes sense their stuff would catch on fire

they probably have a line-up of child workers making their stuff over in china, so that would make sense that they would spontaneously explode

of course, children working isn't illegal
