tech-deals

[flat swift]

Ya, that's why building it yourself won't work

[lean jasper]

so then wait

better waiting than paying top dollar for a pre build

[flat swift]

Wait a year? nah

2060 is discontinued as well for a year now

[lean jasper]

if your smart yes

[flat swift]

That's a good buy

[nova geyser]

Yes but you can't buy that build at that price for another year at least

[lean jasper]

yep well considering the current situation with Part Shortages its a good option

[nova geyser]

That's not top dollar for a prebuilt lol that's a good build even before shortage

[lean jasper]

You could have paid much less for it before shortage, so might aswell wait and pay MUCH less

[nova geyser]

2060 super goes for like 700ish iirc

[nova geyser]

Not really

Yeah if you get used parts

[lean jasper]

before the shortage it was no more than 300 GBP

[nova geyser]

But that means that they don't get a pc for at least a year

[nova geyser]

Ik

[hybrid garnet]

Before shortage doesn't matter right now, all that matters is now and the immediate, predictable future

[lean jasper]

i suppose theres sacrifices, look pre builds aren't bad but when you could be paying less for the matter of a year it doesn't make sense

[flat swift]

Even with some mediocre parts in a build and a 2060 at MSRP of $300 its still a good deal. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rtwRt8

[lean jasper]

can't be that desperate to play whatever they want to play on a decent PC, probably fortnite 🤣

[nova geyser]

Unless this person has a time machine in their back pocket lol

[nova geyser]

Not for 968 usd that's a steal tbh

[lone depot]

finally have a 3070 in my cart but im too broke :tro:

oh scam

:tro:

[wet apex]

ill take a 2060 any day of the week

if its at msrp

or near msrp

[lean jasper]

this guy trying to use emojis that dont exist

damn

[flat swift]

WOn't find any at MSRP, discontinued for a year now

[lone depot]

its 820 with tax

[wet apex]

ik you cant find them

[lone depot]

can only afford up to 700

[hybrid garnet]

It happens a lot when people have nitro and it expires, since nitro users can make their own server to make their own emojis

[lean jasper]

true

[lone depot]

my nitro expires on may 27

its just that it un-embeds on this server for some reason

[hybrid garnet]

Probably due to being new

[lean jasper]

It's because emojis from other servers are blocked

its a server setting

[flat swift]

Nah, they aren't tho

[hybrid garnet]

Since I'm guessing the same picture rule applies to emojis

[lean jasper]

the owner has turned that setting on clearly

[hybrid garnet]

Other people use custom emojis just fine

[lean jasper]

yeah they probably use the server own emojis

not other servers

[hybrid garnet]

Rommy for example likes to use frogs lol

[lean jasper]

[flat swift]

We allow emojis from other servers

Their profile doesn't show nitro tho. 😉

[hybrid garnet]

Vintage is a mod assist, I think he knows the server settings better

[lean jasper]

I didn't disagree

[lean jasper]

🤔

Best and cheapest <1000 gaming pc that can run esports titles above 100fps

[umbral trellis]

asrock eww

[signal ridge]

srry for late response, btw the pc is used

[nova geyser]

The next mon asrock board is like 35$ more and you don't need to say it again you've already expressed how you don't like asrock

[umbral trellis]

That board leaves no real upgrade path tbh

[nova geyser]

It's not supposed to it's an under 1k build with an i5 11th gen, if they were upgrading it would want to be 10th gen anyway and a 10700 wouldn't have a problem on that board

[umbral trellis]

Fair enough

[lone depot]

can the 1650 run esports titles at 1080p above 100fps?

[unborn phoenix]

esports title like valorant csgo etc?

or like league

in general yes probably as long as you make some compromises in video quality

[umbral trellis]

csgo is cpu not gpu heavy

[unborn phoenix]

ok

but yeah in general 1650 should do okay

[icy finch]

Much better at 720p tho

Than 1080p

[true furnace]

1080p at 100 fps is doable with esports games tho

At lower settings

[icy finch]

Yeah

[crude kelp]

should i get a gtx 1660 oc

[icy finch]

1650super would put up a better fight at 1080p

[true furnace]

1660, meh

[lone depot]

What is the cheapest gaming laptop brand?

[nova geyser]

In esports it will do +60 at 1440p tbh as long as it's matched with a decent cpu, id did 180ish fps on a 960 equivalent in overwatch, bout 250+ in csgo and bout 130 in seige and that one is more gpu intensive

[nova geyser]

Sort low to high in gaming laptops it highly depends on model lol

[true furnace]

It's usually HP that's cheapest

But cheapest also means crappiest sometimes

[lone depot]

cheap ssd?

[unborn phoenix]

Pilot-E

[nova geyser]

What's your definition of cheapppp

[lone depot]

lees then 65$

[unborn phoenix]

Ur gonna have to settle for 500gb

[nova geyser]

For 500gb? Sn550

[unborn phoenix]

For 1tb? Save up

[nova geyser]

That's an m.2 tho

[lone depot]

i need a sata

[nova geyser]

A lot of people dont need 500gb

[lone depot]

i already have m.2 in pc

[unborn phoenix]

Trueeee

I haven’t filled up 500gb yet

[true furnace]

sata

rip

[nova geyser]

Mx500 from crucial

[lone depot]

ok

[nova geyser]

You can't really tell the diff between sata and nvme tbh

[true furnace]

yeah ik

you just get the difference in moving files and stuff

[unborn phoenix]

But it just feels so much better

The placebo

[true furnace]

but anything else, nah, it's the same

[nova geyser]

Meh i guess but who moves files around that much on their pc its usually downloads anyway

[true furnace]

True, but if possible, just buy an nvme tbh

Price difference is tiny

[grim talon]

in game loading times nah but in a lot of other stuff yes

[nova geyser]

If you can fit one and yeah if prices the same but speed increase is hardly noticab

[nova geyser]

I don't even notice it in other places really, a slight bit even tho my sn550 i just got has 5x reads and writes than my sata i was using for a while

[lone depot]

1 tb ssd price?

[unborn phoenix]

Around 100usd

[icy finch]

Pilot e needs to be cheaper again change my mind

[unborn phoenix]

everything needs to be cheaper again -_-

is this a good deal https://www.newegg.com/abs-ala239/p/N82E16883360103?Item=N82E16883360103

[nova geyser]

It's not terrible but it's a good bit overpriced if it were 200$ less it would be good

If you look at the ones that aren't in stock atm and should come back soon, you can get a similar build for 1650$

Cancel#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[naive vault]

Oh jeez.

How do I get a 3090 that isn't 100% markup lmao

[flat swift]

Shuffle or best buy drop

[naive vault]

Best buy drop.

?

[lone depot]

maybe a prebuilt system idk

it seems that prebuilts are a good solution now.

however don't take my advice please

id much rather you take @flat swift advice than mine.

[naive vault]

I'm not buying prebuilt I've got my own build in mind that I'd like to personally build part by part

Its a weird principle thing. I've not heard of best buy drop though

[flat swift]

Probs this week

They tend to drop every two weeks and are overdue

[naive vault]

Well there is a shuffle right now

[meager plinth]

@naive vault is it still open?

[quartz cairn]

Guys, thoughts?
https://qa.pcpartpicker.com/list/bQXLTJ

[ornate gazelle]

I would put more LED > FPS

[icy finch]

Pretty decent, I tried pricing one better I can’t really beat those custom prices

I would try to go 11400 and a b560 mobo if it’s available in your country

[quartz cairn]

huh

[quartz cairn]

I hate intel

[icy finch]

Much better value

[nova geyser]

Intel is the bang for the buck cpu atm, gets close to 5600x for 120usd less

And pretty much always in stock

[lone depot]

But is it as reliable in terms of longevity?

[abstract prawn]

Intel? Yeah, 's not like they make cheapo Chinese cpus that are the definition of sketchy, they can at least be trusted to make reliable, long lasting cpus nowadays, especially since they have competition

Heck, pretty sure people are still gaming on 4th gen Intel cpus

[austere thunder]

I will be for a long time

Stuff is too expensive

[icy finch]

Yep got two 4970 machines that my siblings have used every day for the past 6 or so years lol

[abstract prawn]

Can't really repeat it with AMD because Bulldozer was pepeg

Or at least my build was, FX-8350 be causing lag at Windows 10 desktop

[true furnace]

bruh

[lone depot]

Hi so i was just wondering

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4243274

if you click on the gpu of this combo it says it is out of stock

is that a glitch or can you only get it in the combo

im ordering parts soon and i want to know if its not messed up

[true furnace]

It's obviously a combo

[abstract prawn]

You have to get the combo if you want the part and it is out of stock normally. It sucks but you can just resell if you want

[true furnace]

So you have to get one in the combo

It's forced

[lone depot]

oh no the combo is good i was just wondering if it was a glitch

thank you sm tho

finally getting an upgrade

after like 6 years with this pc

[hollow prawn]

Well, that's quite a bad price for it, just a warning

450$ for a 1660 super...

[austere thunder]

at least it isn't

450 for a 1650 super

[lone depot]

i7-10700k for 319 at newegg

[true furnace]

what i7?

10700k? meh, that's pretty normal these days

[nova geyser]

10700k has been that price for ages lol

[flat swift]

10850K used to be that price

[nova geyser]

You can get 10900/10850k for those prices in micro center/europe sometimes

[north beacon]

Yeah the i9 10850k is $309.99 at microcenter rn if you buy a mobo

[latent bloom]

That is a pretty good deal if you need the integrated graphics

[mighty jolt]

Yeah

If I had that option I probably would've went for that cpu instead of paying 150 bucks more for a 3900x but oh well

You can try signing up for the EVGA queue or the Newegg Shuffle or something

Or you can take the plunge into Ebay and try to find something that doesn't end up selling for 300+ what is should be. I'll wish you luck if you do, you'll be there until actual prices start going down in a year or three

[quartz cairn]

@icy finchhey there

you suggested me specs for the pc

[icy finch]

Yep

What

[quartz cairn]

which is better, 5600x or

or 11400

[icy finch]

11400 is worse performance but since many games are gpu bound it’s much better value

[tawny shoal]

5600x

[quartz cairn]

oh well 11400 doesn't ship to me

lmao

so I only have one option

[lone depot]

yo

which has better single core performance

5600x or 5800x

because i heard somehow the 5600x has better single core performance

[true furnace]

both are about the same, buuut, take a look at intel will ya?

it's cheaper over there, while performing pretty closely

[lone depot]

ah i see

[calm prism]

yeah if you haven't committed to a platform yet intel has mad deals rn

[lone depot]

intel is super cheap rn

pretty sad that intel arent really innovating

as well as amd

[calm prism]

they're working on it

[lone depot]

well i guess

but they stayed in the same platform

for multiple generations

[calm prism]

ddr5 coming later this year, lol

[lone depot]

oh rly

okk

[tulip haven]

houdini#0351 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

i bought a pc too early

[abstract prawn]

Always gotta give new ram ddr standards a generation or two to sort themselves out first

[calm prism]

yeeeeah

[lone depot]

why is that tho

[abstract prawn]

New ram standards don't really hit their stride until the process has been refined a bit, prices have gone down due to mass adoption and the ram sticks put out are actively 'better' than the previous gen

[calm prism]

it's the same as most tech, there's an early adopter phase where it'll be real expensive and only mostly work

[hybrid garnet]

The early "next gen" DDR is usually about the speed of the top refined previous gen

We're looking at up to 8400 MT/s or more once DDR5 is more refined

[warm trout]

Good morning

[molten wren]

Yeah intel is cheap but i mean imo you are going to spend more money on the power bill in the end

[true furnace]

why is power bill a worry at the first place?

[molten wren]

Cause it's a cost

Is costs money to pay

[true furnace]

ik but like, it's small

[molten wren]

It's like picking a car

[true furnace]

unless your country has insane rates

[nova geyser]

What's this got to do with techdeals lol

[molten wren]

@nova geyser read the chat

[nova geyser]

Ohh that was a while ago tho

But intel is gonna have roughly same power bill as amd anyway lol

[icy finch]

How much you use your pc is going to ultimately be the deciding factor for how large your power bill is lol

Not 11400 vs a 5600x

[nova geyser]

Yes 100% and what level of components ie 3090 gonna use more than 3060

[lone depot]

uh

am i reading this right..

r u judging off TDP for your power bill

[molten wren]

No

[jaunty tulip]

What is a good pc I can get rn for 1k - 1.2k??

[tawny shoal]

Where'd he say that? Lol

It's general knowledge that current intel will use more power to get the same fps as current ryzen

i just came into the convo was just asking lol

A diy list? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9vLcK3 3060 or 3060 ti if you're lucky but gpu will take a while to get

3200C16 > 3600C16
3600C16 is almost 20 usd more

with almost no binning diff either

[nova geyser]

not really, good ram thats 3200 is like 5$ less

[nova geyser]

also theres a perf diff with 3600

[lone depot]

im talking abt ballistix

yes i know theres a performance difference but its practically 19 USD more

ballistix 3200 is 87$

troubleshooting is the hard part

spent an hour troubleshooting only to find out my bios was being an ass, reverted 16_1 back to auto instead of gen 3

[mental spire]

Anyone know a cheap laptop that works with vr?

[nova geyser]

What is your definition of cheap

[mental spire]

Around 800

[flat swift]

Mmmmm, don't think that's possible

[nova geyser]

Laptops have worse components then desktops due to battery and thermal limitations, a desktop for 800 would be pushing it even

[mental spire]

Oh ok

[flat swift]

This one maybe but it's slightly above $800 https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/g5-15-special-edition-gaming-laptop/spd/g-series-15-5505-laptop

[mental spire]

Why wouldn’t something like this work Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop, 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit Keyboard, Alexa Built-in, AN515-54-5812 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086KJBKDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_QQ3KSYB00VBC41DEXTY3

[icy finch]

Wouldn’t run amazing

[mental spire]

Ok

[icy finch]

Probably just better to get a quest 2

[flat swift]

Also need the right display out conenctions for the headset

[mental spire]

I have the quest one but my laptop only has Vega 8

[icy finch]

Yeah just stick with the quest stand-alone mode probably

[mental spire]

Ok

[icy finch]

It’s not as good as pc experience sure, but you have to have a pretty decent gpu to get a significantly better experience

[mental spire]

Ok

How would this work with vr? https://www.newegg.com/p/1VK-01S3-00AT4

[icy finch]

About the same

As that laptop

[mental spire]

Ok

[flat swift]

What connection does the quest use?

TB or USB?

[icy finch]

Usb

[umbral trellis]

See the thing with VR is that input lag or low fps can cause nausea in some games.

that makes it need good specs

fps drop= stomach drop

[icy finch]

Comes with usb c to usb c stock that works but aftermarket is usb c on quest side and usb a

[icy finch]

I don’t have too much of a problem with the standalone regular quest experience though I wish I had waited for the quest 2 to be released since quest 1 is only 72hz

[umbral trellis]

im talking about when it drops under 25-30 fps

or stutters

or frame times are bad

[glacial lichen]

Anyone know any cheap 144hz monitors ?

[hybrid garnet]

Define cheap

G242/G241 is decent enough

[glacial lichen]

$150 or lower

[nova geyser]

search low to high and see what fits at that price

[glacial lichen]

Ok

is that a good pc to buy

just wondering bc i need another gamin pc

[nova geyser]

It's looks okay

[lilac light]

Looks pretty capable, but both CPU and GPU are a gen behind. That's more OK now that usual because of shortages, but compare prices vs systems with 5600X/3060 if you can find any in stock

[flat swift]

For $1350 I'd pass

[lilac light]

What resolution/refresh do you want to game at?

[nova geyser]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-ali416/p/N82E16883102994 this is better

And 150 less

[nova geyser]

3060 is just 2060 super in disguise anyway

[flat swift]

Ya

[lilac light]

By specs these are both OG 2060s

[nova geyser]

Super isn't that much of a diff and it's actually in stock compared to 3060

[lilac light]

The extra 2GB on the super is useful for above 1080p and I suspect will be useful as games start targeting PS5/Xbox Series X

[nova geyser]

2060 super doesn't need 8gb tbh it only needs 6 as you wouldn't be able to run high 1440p on a 2060s anyway

[lone depot]

k ty

[nova geyser]

It's not the best but it's in stock

[lone depot]

kk ty

how about this one

https://www.newegg.ca/abs-ali520/p/N82E16883360125

dat one gud 2?

[lilac light]

that seems like its worse than either of the others. weaker GPU and smaller SSD

[lone depot]

o

oka

[lilac light]

and more expensive

[nova geyser]

Significantly worse

[lone depot]

is this one at least better?

https://www.newegg.ca/skytech-st-chronosm-0227-chronos-mini/p/N82E16883289121?Description=skytech gaming pc&cm_re=skytech_gaming pc-_-83-289-121-_-Product

[nova geyser]

https://www.newegg.ca/abs-computer-technologies-ali416/p/N82E16883102994 this one

[lone depot]

k

kk il buy dat one den

[lilac light]

no, you're paying $300 for an AIO cooler that's worth $70-120

[nova geyser]

That's why the abs one better

[lone depot]

k

[nova geyser]

It's okay

[lilac light]

Then first one you linked or the one Patokav linked are the best options seen here

[lone depot]

ok

[lilac light]

the one Patokav linked is on Newegg.ca but ships from us, so search for that model on newegg.com if you're in USA

If you go with that one

[nova geyser]

That's because the ones they were linking where ca

[lone depot]

ok

ty

[lilac light]

first one was .com, but yeah, find it on the shop for the country your ordering from for less headaches

[lone depot]

ok

[nova geyser]

Both ones i linked are the exact same build ca and USA anyway lol

[lone depot]

k

[flat swift]

oh

Not the place for that lol

[lone depot]

ok

[flat swift]

If you want to buy one somewhere we can advise

[stray nova]

Any deals on pre-built PCs? I gave up on looking for the peaces and I think it's cheaper pre-built.

Like those green HP gaming PCs.

[true furnace]

Nah, that one sucks

It's not even atx

[stray nova]

ATX? Like the motherboard format?

[true furnace]

Yeah, and if it's not atx, well, the psu wouldn't be atx too

Which sucks for upgrades

so when i get a pc, does it just sign me in the screen where you press those applacations(chrome etc)?

from the neweg.com/ca web

[tawny shoal]

it will stock

but you can add a password or whatever you want

[cinder raven]

Brought this hope it’s not a bad

[errant sigil]

a lot of warehouse items are usually like new, and never used. I bought a 1tb wd gold hard drive with no written data on it or any uptime

oh, and some trident z ram i got for really cheap, problem was just the box’s front cover was ripped off

[cinder raven]

Gotta inspect them with I get them and then go to Best Buy and compare to the mark 4

They should be about the same quality

128 about 133 after taxes is a steal from the 350 they were two years ago

[nova geyser]

You need to finish the windows settings up process and make an account usually

[lone depot]

Oh ok

[lament trellis]

I am looking for a 1000 dollar usd laptop for gaming I dont know what to get I want to either record on it or record and play games on it. Can you possibly find a laptop for that price?

[lone depot]

I think you can record on all pc’s

[lament trellis]

ok

but i want to record and play games at the same time and my current laptop can only play games at 1080p and record at 720p. i want to be able to record at 1080p and play games at 1080p.

[umbral trellis]

look for something with 2000 series nvidia card and a ryzen cpy

2000 being minimum

[lament trellis]

in a laptop??

[nova geyser]

Or 1650/1660 but for 1k you should be able to find Nvidia 2000

[nova geyser]

Yeah you should be able to get a 2060

[lament trellis]

ok

[umbral trellis]

nvenc good on 20 series

[lament trellis]

where should i look???

[umbral trellis]

amd chips in a laptop outperform intel chips and remain cooler

[lament trellis]

why?

[umbral trellis]

because amd laptop chips more efficient

[nova geyser]

Same nvenc in 1650 and 60

[lament trellis]

Ok

[umbral trellis]

Ah right my bad

[lament trellis]

Where should I look?

[nova geyser]

Dell, hp, lenovo, newegg

[lament trellis]

Ok

[nova geyser]

Ehh asus as well

[lament trellis]

Ok I gtg so bye

[nova geyser]

Ehh idk just the laptop makers website their the only ones i can think off top of my head and newegg because gives almost all laptops and nice filters

[stray nova]

Gamers. There is a $50 off on the Intel i5 11400 rocket lake on microcenter.

[nova geyser]

Depends entirely on if you want a laptop or a desktop

[umbral trellis]

the second one is the fastest tho

[nova geyser]

A laptop 3070(depending on wattage ofc) actually beets a 1660 super tbf

[distant kindle]

well obv

a 3070 is way better than a 1660s

[umbral trellis]

yes

the second one has a desktop 3060

the 3rd one has the 1660

[nova geyser]

No it's a laptop gpu not desktop one

[distant kindle]

oh

well

[nova geyser]

Ahh i didn't see the 2nd one i say 1st and 3rd lol

[distant kindle]

yeah the 1660s just slapped the 3070 laptop gpu across the face

[hollow prawn]

3070 laptop is like 2060 desktop tbh

[umbral trellis]

yeah np they were kinda hard to distinguish ngl. bad spacing

[icy finch]

Depends, sips 3070 laptop is amazing when oc and I’m pretty sure beat my 3060ti desktop at stock

[nova geyser]

Think it would beat a 3060 desktop but doubt 3060 ti, and laptop gpus this gen are all over the play because 3070 can be like 40w to like 80w or something

[hollow prawn]

Doubt that, simply because of core count differences.

[icy finch]

Sips is 130w I believe

Could be wrong

[nova geyser]

No wait it's 80w to 105w iirc for 3070 laptop

[icy finch]

Hmm I’ll go try to find userbench that sips posted

[hollow prawn]

Because iirc 3060ti is basically same core count, except desktop cooling solution and desktop power delivery

UB...

[nova geyser]

2nd one is best, better cpu than first, the last one is overpriced and has a dedicated capture card which is just to up the price not very useful

[proud lynx]

none of those

if they cant use a psu that doesnt have ketchup and mustard cables at 1400$+ then thats not worth it

https://c1.neweggimages.com/itemreivewimages/reviewimg1280/2b8fb1b13a634104ae42297fcc033b44.jpg

and this is their cable management

oh dear

[nova geyser]

That's fine tbh it only matters if it looks okay at the front really especially if they never gonna open the pc

[glass mason]

prob a scam

scammers have moved to amazon

[flat swift]

This

[glass mason]

but if it was amazon warehouse then it was probably a card switched out or somethin and it will be a fake card

[flat swift]

It's currently unavailable anyway

[glass mason]

yeah it was probably sold within 30 seconds of downside posting it here

[long geyser]

Forks bought it.

[glossy thorn]

[austere thunder]

[glass mason]

[tawny shoal]

Yeah just the keeb+mouse+ monitor is worth that lol

[austere thunder]

I kinda want to go computer hunting 😔

[icy finch]

lol same, I think my neighbor is selling old pc soon and I might have to grab

[austere thunder]

nice

[hybrid garnet]

The PC itself is e-waste but the windows license is salvageable, plus peripherals not bad

[proud lynx]

So apparently there was a glitch today on amazon where stuff sold by amazon got 95% off. Haven't read into it yet but got an ad on insta from flipology from it happening

https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2019/07/19/amazon-prime-day-error-sold-13-000-camera-equipment-94-report/1775314001/

It happened in 2019 on prime day

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/&ved=2ahUKEwi2p-eQ0tnwAhVI5awKHVPvAUkQFjAOegQIHhAC&usg=AOvVaw06hX2l0tr8QZm6SOBYhLzg

But heres a deal of the day link idk if amazon provides off the app

Scratch that its provided

[azure abyss]

Hmm

[glossy thorn]

Isn't it?

like $22 for a i5 6400 rig is mmmm

they were selling it for the same price as a 2002 pentium rig

they had no clue what they were doing

[glass mason]

prob some old person that doesnt know its value

and doesnt care to know

[glossy thorn]

she seemed like 65

so yeah

I saw it and my eyes couldn't believe it

I thought ofr sure it was gonna be broken

[tawny quest]

[dry nest]

Omw to go back to the future to get a 2080 for 100$ and resell it slightly above MSRP for big profit

[humble schooner]

Lol

Im glad i got my gpu roght before this kicked off

[lone depot]

Picked up a 1080ti FTW watercooled card for 499 literally a month before this.

Should I sell?

How much longer do you guys think this will last?

[dry nest]

Probably into early-mid 2022

[tulip haven]

FavernDaDeer#8848 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone depot]

What the f word

[dry nest]

Q2-Q3 2022 if I had to guess

[lone depot]

Alright, I will wait then

Or at least until I need to buy a car lmao

[dry nest]

Well you probably want to sell it now

Selling will get you the most back rn

[humble schooner]

But youd be without a gpu

[sterile raven]

integrated is always a thin

the gt 1030 is always there

[sharp tundra]

E

[nova geyser]

Keep until you actually have a new card, this could last until 2022 q4 easily

[umbral trellis]

[visual sleet]

That's a good deal

[flat swift]

Mmmmmm

[humble schooner]

Oh

Hoping for more radeon stuff

[flat swift]

Radeon is honestly rare

More rare than 3000 series because they're going into consoles

[long mantle]

Hello all, I have a question... I just purchased a Corsair 4000 series Mid Tower Case.. I also purchased the Corsair Liquid CPU Cooler H115i but does not fit in case. Mounts to the top but fans are to thick. The length works at 280mm. Is there a CPU Cooling fan that will work? Thank you..

[flat swift]

What CPU?

[long mantle]

Ryzen 5 3600x...

[flat swift]

Oh, Vetroo V5 or ID Cooling SSE 224

Both would do just fine

[long mantle]

Wow... Thank you very much...

[flat swift]

YW

this is p decent for the price

[vague prairie]

guys don’t bully me for this but, does anyone know where i can get a h510 elite for good money?

[flat swift]

It's a $150 case. Not gonna get any cheaper

[fiery stream]

I see it for $98 on ebay free shipping right now, probably best you can get

[flat swift]

that's used tho

And also bent all to hell

Damaged pretty bad

[vague prairie]

i saw on ebay some good prices

then i look at the shipping 💀

[fiery stream]

Otherwise pre owned or open box for under 150

Or pay 150 for a new one

[vague prairie]

i wanna get an open box but like idek if it comes with the accessory box

[fiery stream]

Probably not with all the accesories

[vague prairie]

yeah true

ima go to best buy or micro center and see what’s up

[grim talon]

I wouldn’t buy a used case unless it was a really good deal

[fiery stream]

At least then you get all the stuff with it

^

Nothing in computers is a really good deal at the moment

[grim talon]

Almost always have dents, scuffs, signs of use, sometimes stripped screws. Usually don’t come with all accessories

[vague prairie]

yeah ima just cough up 150 nvmmmm

[grim talon]

I think open box or refurbished is fine if it’s direct from manufacturer or retailer, but even then, I got an open box case direct from retailer and it had a slight dent in it

H510 Elite bad lol

All looks no performance

[vague prairie]

idrc for airflow

just like looks

[grim talon]

Oh boy

[fiery stream]

Im the opposite

[grim talon]

Even at $100 there still great options

[vague prairie]

and it’s big enough for my desk

yeahhh but like i want the white one

[grim talon]

You do you but personally I wouldn’t

[vague prairie]

if lian li had a white mesh version of the 205

i would buy it

mesh 205 rgb

[grim talon]

Antec NX410 might be something close to what you’re looking for

[vague prairie]

lemme see one sec

nahhh

[grim talon]

Eh worth a shot

[vague prairie]

it kinda looks weird

[grim talon]

Got the same basic design as an H510 elite, just front is mesh instead of glass

[vague prairie]

true

ehh i’ll keep researching nice fades ty tho guys

cases*

how do y’all feel abt the corsair 4000x?

[last egret]

I love how tech deals here is advice @grim talon

[grim talon]

Yeah wtv

[grim talon]

Mesh or glass

[crystal moth]

I was on the Stock Drops na-deals and thought it was this channel. Got called out and told to read the rules.

[last egret]

Servers chill here they kinda suck with deals

[hybrid garnet]

Best stuff gets posted in the morning

[torpid ginkgo]

Lol

[last egret]

That’s straight cap the only “deal” is the Newegg shuffle and sometimes the things comboed with it is over the cost of the mf thing I want

[icy finch]

4000x is glass

[grim talon]

Ah yeah sorry I was thinking of 220t

[vague prairie]

the glass rgb one

should i get it ???

[umbral trellis]

get mesh

better airflow

[grim talon]

https://youtu.be/sA8AjVfuoOE

[vague prairie]

but if it got like a ryzen 5 and a 3060 it shouldn’t matter right?

and LOL i’m watching that vid rn

[shell perch]

Did the shuffle happen today?

[flat swift]

No

good price for cable extensions

[icy finch]

I thought asia horse was known to fry components

Because poor quality wire

[tawny shoal]

ive never heard of it doing that

Bitwit and Paulshardware have reviewed them, and both reviewed were very positive

im guessing if you arent trying to run crazy overclocks, ur good

[hybrid garnet]

Why do form and function need to exclude each other so much...

[hollow prawn]

lol

[tawny shoal]

what are your thoughts on asia horse extensions? you too @hollow prawn

[hollow prawn]

none

I see no value in cable extensions, therefore I see no point looking into them :P

[hybrid garnet]

IMO it's just another point of failure to test. I just find stock cables I like and stick to them.

[tawny shoal]

need the aesthetics lol

[proud lynx]

i have antec cable extentions, they work fine for me

but best bet is cable mod custom cables

if you dont mind the price

[hybrid garnet]

"Need" is too strong a word for something with purely aesthetic value

If I really wanted, corsair sells white cables that work with my PSU

[last egret]

You take that back
