We were discussing if your PSU wasn't the issue, it would likely fall on MoBo and then you could try to bake it, but order a replacement anyway. Baking can work on some MoBos and GPUs, but not always and it's always a temporary fix.

A friend of mine baked his son's NVidia GPU 3x and it worked, but by the 4th it was dead. Luckily, he'd just replaced his, so his son got his old one.

Xmas season was next, so the wife, daughter, and son all got new stuff in a couple weeks.

Anyway, it was nice talking to everyone. Best of luck. I just ordered stuff for my Harley, one of many constant necessities. LOL TTYL

[kind eagle]

Guys this is RAM right?

[tender swift]

yes

[kind eagle]

Oh thanks

[kind eagle]

Are there any ways to change the side of inside part??

[halcyon fossil]

hm?

[kind eagle]

My table i want to put my desk in the corner

Nah ill move my table

[noble turtle]

You might be able to find cases with right side panels instead of left

Need a little help with an issue with my motherboard. This has been happening for a little while. System operates and turns on just fine but every now and then, it won't turn on. In order for me to turn it on, I have to reset the CMOS with the reset button on the back of the I/O. Motherboard: x370 M7 Gaming AC. Processor: Ryzen 7 2700X (no overclock). Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 16 GB @ 3200 MHz

[quick ibex]

Well if it’s all dependent on that cmos I’d say maybe a defective or dying cmos. Did it work fine for a while and then start doing this or has it started since you first turned it on?

[brisk ore]

It worked fine for a while, then started doing this. I built the system like a year ago

I usually turn the PSU off when I'm not home or asleep either. I didn't think doing that would affect the CMOS though

[quick ibex]

It really shouldn’t

[tender swift]

even with no power to the board, that battery should last for years

[quick ibex]

It’s the pc equivalent of a watch battery

[brisk ore]

So my CMOS is defective then? Not an issue with the board itself, since it POSTs?

[quick ibex]

Literally

It could be an issue with the board. I’m running an x470 pro and it posts fine but it won’t boot with more than 2 sticks of ram so I know that posting isn’t always reliable

But since it’s dependent on resetting the cmos I think it’s more than likely the cmos

[brisk ore]

Hm. Well, I'll buy a new battery later then. Hopefully that fixes the issue. If it doesn't, then at least we know it's not the battery and it's the board

[tender swift]

and you may be able to talk to the manufacturer about an RMA

[quick ibex]

Yeah it’s better to try that instead of buying a whole new board first

Well doesn’t an RMA work within 90 days only?

[tender swift]

what brand of board is it?

[brisk ore]

MSI

[tender swift]

it is a year

but with an issue like that, they may be willing to make an exception

a CMOS really shouldn't corrupt itself

[brisk ore]

My year isn't up until early July

So I should be fine

[tender swift]

then i'd try the batter, you can get them at walmart or whatever

and then call MSI if it doesn't work

or submit a ticket

[quick ibex]

I do have a question about your specs

[tender swift]

actually

it's 3 years

[quick ibex]

You say your cpu isn’t OCed. Are any other parts OCed or have they been?

[tender swift]

so you're good

https://us.msi.com/page/warranty

[brisk ore]

The memory is clocked at 3200 MHz

Thanks Matt

[tender swift]

click on the motherboard tab

you're welcome

[quick ibex]

I’ve heard of some OCed parts damaging parts of the board they don’t even interact with

[tender swift]

it can happen

[brisk ore]

The board supports 3200 MHz though. And I'm using an XMP profile

Never read anyone having issues with clocking the memory on this board

[quick ibex]

What about reseating?

Have you reseated the cmos

[tender swift]

it's generally just a socketed chip

[quick ibex]

Not for me

I can push a tab and pop it right out

[tender swift]

neat

oh you mean the battery?

[quick ibex]

Yeah

[brisk ore]

I thought it was a tab also lol

[tender swift]

oh yeah, i meant the actual CMOS chip itself

[quick ibex]

Ah

[brisk ore]

No, I haven't reseated it

Haven't moved any components on the motherboard

[quick ibex]

Try reseating and maybe blowing the slot out with compressed air

[brisk ore]

The last time I changed anything was when the 20 series GPUs came out

Alright I'll try that later on. I'll come back and let you guys know

[tender swift]

what's your motherboard model, i'll see if i can find a schematic

[brisk ore]

x470 Gaming M7 AC

[quick ibex]

470 or 370

[brisk ore]

x470, was a typo the first time sorry

[quick ibex]

It’s all good just making sure

[brisk ore]

I'm swapping the board out later when the x570 chipset comes out. The concern is mainly because I'm putting the board into another case, and I don't want who I'm building the system for to have the same issue

[tender swift]

it's a shame motherboards don't have jumpers anymore

yeah i can't find a schematic, it's almost like they don't want that to be known

i'd try the battery first

[brisk ore]

Alright I will. I'll find my manual and post the schematic myself if anything

[kind eagle]

Guys does this one hav gud cpu? https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16883289029?Item=N82E16883289029

[quick ibex]

Eh

[tender swift]

i mean

for the price, tbh,, it's not bad

the 1600 is still a great value cpu

[brisk ore]

If it was a 2nd gen, I would say it was good

[kind eagle]

Ok thanks

[brisk ore]

But yeah, for the price, it's not bad

[quick ibex]

If you run 50 tabs of chrome and like 10 other applications then a graphics intensive game like me I’d say not good

But for the price yeah it’s not bad

[kind eagle]

I order corsair ram too bc thats ram is too low for me =/

[tender swift]

yeah, i'd definitely slap another 8GB in there

[quick ibex]

Companies shouldn’t be allowed to sell pc’s with 8gb lol

[tender swift]

not anymore

[kind eagle]

How long it usually take to ship?

[quick ibex]

Should say somewhere at checkout

[kind eagle]

SevenHills in las vegas

[tender swift]

it usually ships within 24 hours afaik

takes about that long for processing

[quick ibex]

I’ve only bought one thing from newegg so I wouldn’t know

[kind eagle]

So thats would be 1-2 days right?

[quick ibex]

Depends who they ship with

[kind eagle]

Oh xD

[quick ibex]

USPS has always been the fastest for me

[still karma]

[sand ridge]

I’m using the CAM software and haven’t had a problem until now.

Can anyone help on why it’s sending me notifications that I’m exceeding high temps but yet when I look at the max temp it’s well below what the notifications are saying?

[quick ibex]

i dont use those softwares because they always eventually start misrepresenting the information

i just rely on how hot my case is lol

[kind eagle]

Guys whats the differents?

[harsh locust]

the brands

and one is 32gb

wait

nbm

nvm

corsaid one is 3200

[kind eagle]

Oh i see

[harsh locust]

nice quintuplet photo

[kind eagle]

Lol whats differents now xD

Btw thanks

[harsh locust]

nothing really

other then its 3000

not 3200

one is slightly faster i believe

[tender swift]

Yeah 3200MHz is faster

[kind eagle]

I mean the second pic

[harsh locust]

yeah its 3000mhz

[kind eagle]

They re both 3000mhz

[harsh locust]

?

the corsair in the other photo is 3200

that one is 3000

[kind eagle]

The second corsair is 3000

[harsh locust]

yes

[tender swift]

Yeah and the corsair in the first one is 3200

[kind eagle]

Ik

[tender swift]

The other ram in the first pic is by G.Skill

[kind eagle]

So its just the brand?

[tender swift]

Basically

[kind eagle]

Do u think 16gb ram is enough for me?

[tender swift]

16GB is enough for 99% of people in here

You only need 32 and above if you're doing huge renders and computational work

[kind eagle]

Yea i can edit but not usually

16gb ram is enough for game and obs?

[harsh locust]

yes

its enough for gaming idk about obs

whenever i recorded or streamed i used shadowplay

[tender swift]

Yeah for sure

Its enough

[kind eagle]

Hmm so i still have 100$ what should i use for?

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16883289029?Item=N82E16883289029

[harsh locust]

i mean what needs to be upgraded

[tender swift]

Do you have a good headset

[kind eagle]

Not really

I got sony headphone its about 100$

[harsh locust]

get a hyper x hedset

theya re nice

[kind eagle]

But i use it for a years

More than 1 year

[harsh locust]

i mean im using corsair headset

[quick ibex]

i should get a new headset. i use a kraken right now

[tender swift]

The hyperx cloud headsets are super nice

[kind eagle]

Alright let me search for it

[harsh locust]

i had the one shroud uses but i broke it 💔

[quick ibex]

good job

[harsh locust]

yeah i didnt mean to

the cord got stuck on my chair and when i got up if flung the headset onto the floor

[quick ibex]

this is why i dont use complicated gaming chairs lol an office chair is good enough. most office chairs have way better support than gaming chairs anyway

[harsh locust]

i have a office chair xD

it got suck on the arm

[kind eagle]

I love logitech but their headset is too expensive ;-;

[quick ibex]

what kind of office chair do you have where your headset cord gets stuck on it

🤔

[harsh locust]

idk some walmart one

there is like a small gap between the arm and the back rest piece

and it got stuck on the gap

[kind eagle]

Oh i have an office chair too lmao

[quick ibex]

thats why i use a chair that has enclosed arm rests so that it cant get under them and get stuck

[harsh locust]

o

i want a gaming onoe or just a chair where i can lean it back and lay down in it

[quick ibex]

my chair doesnt even have wheels lol

trust me

laying down in a chair isnt good

[kind eagle]

Does this count? xD

I got it from ikea

[harsh locust]

thats a nice chair

[kind eagle]

Thank its 70$ ;-;

[harsh locust]

damn

can i order tha online and get it shipped xD

[tender swift]

IKEA does ship yeah

[harsh locust]

oh man nice

[kind eagle]

Thats one is very nice and very cheap

For someone who sitting all day in computer

[opal frost]

Does NZXT still sell this? Mine has a shortage somewhere and wont show RPM

[surreal apex]

might want to reach out to NZXT on twitter

their social media manager is good about returning tweets.

I had an old panel that warped, got up with them and they sent me one free of charge.

[sand ridge]

@tender swift that’s the final build for now

[warm belfry]

o nice

[tender swift]

now that's purdy

[quick ibex]

so much space

my case is crammed

[uncut raptor]

Nzxt cases are really nice at storing a lot of cables

and keeping sleek looks

[full wing]

true that

[quick ibex]

i was too lazy to do cable management when i put it together so i just shoved all my cables in a corner lol

[uncut raptor]

Idk those cases are just really nice though im not a fan of the side windows

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811553031 Thats my case its pretty reliable but I havent finished building it yet

So i dont have any pictures yet

[sand ridge]

@tender swift if i OC my CPU would it be a good idea to do the same to the memory and GPU at the same time or does it matter?

i haven't overclocked anythign before so i got nothing to go off of

[tender swift]

you would want to OC your memory at the same time as your CPU

but you wouldn't do the GPU at the same time, since you do the CPU and memory in the UEFI

[sand ridge]

@tender swift you know of any videos to reference that explains it well

as in how to know what a good balance without ruining them are

[tender swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeITi8DrlTI

unless you have ryzen

i can't remember, there are so many builds in here

[old matrix]

Being honest.

I'd really like to try OCing my i9.

[surreal apex]

no point

[old matrix]

BUT.

I CAN ONLY GET 5 GHZ BOOST.

[surreal apex]

😐

[old matrix]

I'm sorry.

[sand ridge]

@tender swift i have a ryzen build but its ok

[sand ridge]

So I have read up on a couple things about FreeSync but when should I use it, always?

Are there certain situations that you shouldn’t utilize it?

[tender swift]

not really, it's something you can use all the time

[sand ridge]

@tender swift doesn’t it reduce you’re FPS? And if so will You’ll be able to tell a difference in will it be better or not?

[tender swift]

it's a more smooth experience

[full wing]

freesync doesn't really reduce your FPS, it might not work on desktop but it'll help in games for.. that yes

[tender swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ey-KObDABI

[full wing]

it could add a bit of lag but you won't notice it

AMD has a freesync demo to check whether it's working properly or not

look for the windmill demo

[sand ridge]

OK, I only ask because my new monitor is coming in today and it has 144hz-1ms response and had FreeSync capability and I have an AMD PC build so I was wondering if I’m better off just using that all the time or only at certain times.

[tender swift]

i would just leave it on

[full wing]

yeah

keep in mind that you might have to enable freesync from both the monitor OSD and the AMD suite

[sand ridge]

Suite?

[full wing]

the adrenalin driver set

control panel, w/e

[sand ridge]

Oh ok. So VSync is basically just downgraded version of FreeSync then

[full wing]

vsync is completely software level to prevent jaggies, it's been there for a long time. freesync and g-sync are monitor based adaptations of it, on some hardware level

[sand ridge]

Makes sense

When I OC the cpu I’m going to want to do the ram as well right?

[full wing]

up to you

[sand ridge]

I have 3200mhz ram but it’s only using about 1300 give or take

[full wing]

it's double data rate, you're at 2000's

considering you didn't set it to 3200, probably

[sand ridge]

Someone I know told me it was recommended so I wasn’t sure

[full wing]

you can OC RAM if you want to but first off i'd learn the basics if you're confused

[sand ridge]

Ya I’m still new to pc building. The monitor was the last thing I needed to complete everything so the next thing I would like to do is OC the gpu and cpu.

But from what I hear of the GPU is a lot safer in the easier to OC

[full wing]

yeah i'd agree

[sand ridge]

1 more question. What’s the difference between the hdmi port and the DisplayPort on the gpu?

[full wing]

from what i know, HDMI compresses more, displayport is the better interface for the most part

[sand ridge]

Can you just plug in a normal hdmi cable for it?

[tender swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f38sotYHqtA&

[full wing]

i'd just buy a displayport cable if you don't have one, especially given that you'll be doing over 100hz

[tender swift]

or if your GPU and monitor support hdmi 1.4 or 2.0, then you'll be fine with one of those too

preferably 2.0

[sand ridge]

I just looked and my gpu didn’t say which hdmi it is but my monitor supports 1.4 hdmi and 1.2 DisplayPort

[tender swift]

which GPU do you have again?

[sand ridge]

@tender swift I have a rx 570

[tender swift]

then yeah you should be good with either HDMI or DisplayPort

[sand ridge]

@tender swift i just set up my monitor and it actually came with a displayport cable. so poggers

For anyone that plays Destiny 2, I was playing the Menagerie, and during a part during a final fight, I was getting fps as low as 45fps with a r7 1700x and 1070ti. is this normal or is there something wrong with my system? (I put the majority of my settings around medium

^dm if you know anything please

[near steppe]

not familiar with that fight but knowing destiny 2 its usually shadows or particles that cause you to lag

what is the final part like

[signal cairn]

I played it once but the 5 other people in my lobby were forced to capture different plates until the boss (which was a big hydra) came and was free to hit. The fight takes place somewhere in the leviathan. Usually we were bombarded with loads of enemies similar to the blind well and whenever my FPS would drop it would be in the middle of where these enemies were.

I’m going on a bit of a tangent but my FPS drops to 60 in trostland and can get into the low 50s without having a mass of enemies.

I’m not currently home right now to give the my exact settings

[quick ibex]

Idk why people complain about FPS drops to 60. That’s smooth and the standard max FPS on most monitors (at least the ones that are sold here)

[swift bough]

not smooth

unless you've never been on a higher hz we cant blame you

but whoever has actually better monitors, 60 is choppy

[quick ibex]

Uh

60 is smooth

Not as smooth as 144

But it’s still smooth

[swift bough]

smooth if you havent had higher refresh rate

is what i said

so yes, it's smooth if you've only been on 60hz

not disagreeing with you

[quick ibex]

I play on 144/165 depending on the game

But I honestly wouldn’t mind 60 if I had to drop it to that

[swift bough]

cool

[quick ibex]

Only in certain games can you really tell the difference

[swift bough]

yeah

most games you can tell tho

[quick ibex]

In gta i can barely tell the difference between 45 FPS and 60

[swift bough]

[gaunt falcon]

Hi I currently play on Ps4 Console but want to buy a PC any suggestions?

[surreal apex]

newegg.com 😉

[tender swift]

what's your budget?

@gaunt falcon

[queen depot]

Huh

Try what @tender swift said, pcpartspicker.com is also a very good start

[tender swift]

oh man, i got knocked down to rank 3

[queen depot]

I got this message and it's like "do this to see your rank" I freaked out so I did it

What does this even do

[tender swift]

it's just based on how much you type

[full wing]

super.. hot.. super.. hot

[halcyon fossil]

its innovatice

innovative*

but i found it super boring

and yes i played it in vr

[full wing]

yep, repetitive. and the announcer says that word over and over again which is irritating

[halcyon fossil]

yeah

the game is super repetitive

just throws more enemies at you every level

[quick ibex]

@gaunt falcon the first question any techie should ask is what will it be used for. In this case, what kind of games will you most likely be playing with it

[gaunt falcon]

COD BO4

[quick ibex]

That it?

I wouldn’t start playing cod on pc lol

More than half of their titles you can’t find a match without an aimbot user or some kind of cheater

[daring heath]

a pc makeover would be nice still rocking an i3 3240 with 6gb ddr3 ram and h61m board with an rx570 8gb card and a 500gb normal hdd

[full wing]

idk

[desert hazel]

What kind of MC buddy?? 😃

[full wing]

to play with :3

[desert hazel]

I usually host modded Minecraft servers.

Ouu I love me some modded Minecraft.

Currently running Madpack3.

[full wing]

I don't want to be my creation public

and I don't know much about Minecraft

[desert hazel]

I find vanilla gets a little boring after a while.

Especially when you have friends that bring you miles ahead.

[full wing]

what means vanilla in MC? @desert hazel

[desert hazel]

Like no mods.

[full wing]

oh ok :3

[desert hazel]

Everything is stock, kind of way

So modded Minecraft is just that, with kids, and vanilla is without mods.

[full wing]

there is some sort of freebie Minecraft Realms?

[desert hazel]

Well, it’s not really Minecraft realms. Realms is basically Minecraft servers hosted by Microsoft themselves.

At least to my understanding.

[full wing]

Who wants to play some factions?

[near steppe]

who wants to carry me in apex legends

[surreal apex]

I got you bb.

[timid badge]

I love that they do this but I hate some people lol

[full wing]

Is this a good price, for what it is I’m new to PCs. And I’m not building my pc

have it built by somebody who knows what he / she is doing. that PC is not worth it

Ok thanks

I don’t know anybody who can build PCs

you could take the parts to a store and do it that way

or buy them from somewhere and have the people assembly it for you

[worthy horizon]

You could watch some YouTube and DIY it yourself

[full wing]

Nope can’t build a crap, I’m a console player and can’t build PCs

[quick ibex]

building pc's is easy as long as you dont get ESD in there

[full wing]

Is this a good price for the specs

[quick ibex]

no

it has somewhat garbo specs

doesnt even have an hdd

you only have 500gb space on an ssd which is used to speed up loading times and such

[full wing]

What’s a good build for $900

Because that’s my budget

[quick ibex]

i'd say that but with an hdd instead of an ssd

[full wing]

Ok that’s the a good build for Minecraft, rust?

[quick ibex]

for minecraft?!

[full wing]

yea

[quick ibex]

you can run minecraft on nearly anything

[full wing]

Oh

[quick ibex]

lol

for rust i'd say anything with more than 16gb and at least a 1050

rust eats your ram with all the assets and it has to keep all the players' bodies on the server and keep track of their inventories

[full wing]

Do you think that I can buy the parts then go to a near pc store and they can build it?

Or no

[quick ibex]

you should be able to build it yourself

even though you say you're a console gamer

this pc i'm on right now is the first one i've built myself and the only problem i had was the manufacturer's fault on one of the parts

everything should come with an instruction guide

[hexed hull]

Time to buy more rust Ram. Feeling a 64 GB upgrade anyway.

[full wing]

Who wants to play with me minecraft?

[full wing]

Is this a good price for what it is?

[wraith ridge]

No

[full wing]

Literally a scam

In my opinion

[full wing]

this prebuilt is much better

https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Xtreme-GXiVR8500A-i5-9400F-GeForce/dp/B07PKXQBHN/ref=asc_df_B07N9KWYSY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312760964359&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7658863050027368339&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011303&hvtargid=pla-664365469671&th=1

still not worth but

[tender swift]

the only thing lacking in that build is the 8GB of RAM

[surreal apex]

comes to newegg discord, links amazon.

[tender swift]

[cold hatch]

looking for a build for $1.5k - $2k

[surreal apex]

look no further.

[tender swift]

just gaming or what?

[surreal apex]

newegg has you covered.

[cold hatch]

just gaming

[halcyon fossil]

dangit

i was gonna ask that question

beat me to it

[surreal apex]

I deleted it.

go ahead.

😄

[tender swift]

are you looking to build?

or do you want a prebuilt?

[cold hatch]

I can build but im super lazy

[surreal apex]

haha

matt.

[tender swift]

some people don't wanna build

they scurred

[surreal apex]

they just had a sale on ABS builds

not sure if it is still going.

[tender swift]

i think so

[surreal apex]

do you lean towards blue or red

amd/intel.

how we gon link the same one

[halcyon fossil]

oof i was typing in general :(

they can help u better anyways

[surreal apex]

and the prices are different

wtf

lol

[halcyon fossil]

im on mobile and cant do much

[tender swift]

it's the same computer

newegg pls

[surreal apex]

lol

[cold hatch]

noice

[surreal apex]

flash deals are the best.

[tender swift]

but yeah, that one for $1400 is a great deal tbh

[halcyon fossil]

you know the computers good when they include 144+ fps in the promotional images

[tender swift]

i mean they're not wrong

[surreal apex]

I don't like that

cause what if they have 60hz monitor

[halcyon fossil]

i dont like it either

[surreal apex]

false advertisement

[tender swift]

it's vague af too

[halcyon fossil]

its dependent on the game too

[tender swift]

like what games can it hit 144hz in?

[surreal apex]

hehe

[halcyon fossil]

roblox

:)

[tender swift]

i don't know man

that's a tall order

[halcyon fossil]

jkjk

o shoot

[surreal apex]

I want to upgrade my kids gpu

speaking of roblox

[halcyon fossil]

tbh roblox can look great id the devs include some custom lighting engine

what do u wanna upgrade it too

[surreal apex]

i dunno

750ti is what he has now

[halcyon fossil]

rip

[tender swift]

rip in peace

[halcyon fossil]

you gonna stay nvidia or switch to amd

[tender swift]

the 570's a great deal

[halcyon fossil]

^

matt do you have that link to the games demo video

[tender swift]

for what cards?

the 750ti vs the 570?

[halcyon fossil]

570

[tender swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPT5_RmKGjY

[halcyon fossil]

yeah that one

[surreal apex]

cpu is old fx 8350 8core

[halcyon fossil]

mega oof

[surreal apex]

how so?

it works great.

[tender swift]

the IPC is poopy

[surreal apex]

and he is 4.

lol

[tender swift]

oh that makes sense

[surreal apex]

so nothing over a 580?

hell I think a 4gb card would do him just fine.

[tender swift]

yeah, i would go for the 570 tbh

the 8350 bottlenecks a 1060

[halcyon fossil]

lol i have a 1050ti 4gb card

i do not recommend

[tender swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGc0K2zHR0

[surreal apex]

really?

[tender swift]

it also bottlenecks a 580

yes

[surreal apex]

1050ti is a great bard.

card

my other kid has one.

[tender swift]

it was

[halcyon fossil]

i mean in performance its good

but price is bad

[surreal apex]

I got it for 140 back in the day

[halcyon fossil]

yeah prices havent gone down mich

much*

[surreal apex]

I believe its the evga 1050ti sc

[tender swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf-qedNCU7k

[halcyon fossil]

see i have a gaming laptop

[surreal apex]

ah

[halcyon fossil]

i really wanna build a pc but i dont wanna downgrade and to upgrade is expensive

[tender swift]

you'd be hard pressed to actually downgrade

[warm belfry]

^

[tender swift]

you can get a 580 8GB for $180 these days

[halcyon fossil]

idk if i really wanna switch to an amd card tho

[warm belfry]

for budget cards you cant beat amd tho

[tender swift]

people have really gotta get over that bias

[warm belfry]

the 580 and 570 are great

[halcyon fossil]

ik theyre good cards and all

but i do vr and stuff

also nvidia has its perks

[tender swift]

AMD cards do VR just fine though

[warm belfry]

look at even the 570 https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-570/3649vs3924

[halcyon fossil]

hm well ill think about it

[warm belfry]

and thats not the mobile 1050 ti

[halcyon fossil]

i was looking for something comparable to the rtx 2060 or a gtx 1070

my dad has a 1070 and its amazing

[warm belfry]

yeah amd doesnt have good cards there, only the vegas

[tender swift]

eh, let's just wait till the 5000 series comes out

[halcyon fossil]

those are gonna be expensive tho right

[warm belfry]

yeah

[tender swift]

so is the 2070

[halcyon fossil]

yeah

[tender swift]

and the 1070

[halcyon fossil]

but 2070 has ray tracing

[tender swift]

heh.

[warm belfry]

the 1660 ti is pretty close to the 1070 tho, and only is 280

[tender swift]

ray tracing cuts your performance by half

[warm belfry]

and not a lot of games have rtx on

[halcyon fossil]

i wouldnt use ray tracing but its there in case i ever wanna use it

[tender swift]

you don't even own the 3 games that support it

[warm belfry]

wait hecc

[tender swift]

lol

[warm belfry]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/games-support-nvidia-ray-tracing/

there

[halcyon fossil]

i know

[tender swift]

i might give JX3 a shot

i love martial arts MMOs

[warm belfry]

hmmm

im just trying to find what graphic settings to put my 1070 ti on fh4

[tender swift]

let it dynamically set

[warm belfry]

but its 1080p so im thinking about cranking everything up

and its only 60hz refresh rate :l

[tender swift]

then crank it

[warm belfry]

yea

[wraith ridge]

Just don't use recommendations from GFE 😆

[warm belfry]

on ultra it hits 122fps, i should be good all maxed https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/06/13/forza-horizon-4-graphics-performance-how-to-get-the-best-settings-on-pc/6/

[tender swift]

yeah, its optimizations are pretty bad

[warm belfry]

best gpu for >60fps 1440p?

[halcyon fossil]

anyways heres my ideal computer specs:

[tender swift]

the best one for that is the 2070

[warm belfry]

thats what i was thinking

[wraith ridge]

I'd go used 1080 tbh

[warm belfry]

but if i do i would upgrade my cpu

[wraith ridge]

You can grab those for $300 or less

[warm belfry]

@wraith ridge mines a used 1070 ti

i got it under 240

[wraith ridge]

Nice

[warm belfry]

yeah it was a great deal, only 1 other bid and i got it at the end of the auction

now i just need to wait 4 days for the case :l

[halcyon fossil]

8 core processor at anything higher than 3ghz
16gb cas 16 3200mhz rgb ram
gtx 1070 equivalent or better
1tb m.2 nvme ssd
dual 2tb hard drives running in raid 1
case with rgb fans

[wraith ridge]

I remember before the 1660 cards came out you could grab a RX 580 8GB for $125 or less now it's a different story altogether

[warm belfry]

o thats pretty good @halcyon fossil

[halcyon fossil]

yep

expensive thi

[warm belfry]

why 8 core tho?

[halcyon fossil]

tho*

why not

[warm belfry]

i would just go for ryzen 3000 if u build it

[halcyon fossil]

occasionally i do video editing for school

yeah

[warm belfry]

o ic

[halcyon fossil]

i have a 4 core processor rn and that speed of an 8 core processor with 16 threads

amazing

[warm belfry]

ah

mines a 2600x

[halcyon fossil]

i would be completely fine with a 4 or 6 core machine but i want to upgrade

also i dont get new computers that often (like most people) so id like the best of the best without going crazy

[warm belfry]

https://hothardware.com/news/amd-12-core-ryzen-9-3900x-zen-2-intel-core-i9-9900k o

[tender swift]

the 2600 or 3600 would be more than enough for what you do

[halcyon fossil]

i know it would

like i said lol without going crazy

ryzen 9 is a bit on the crazy side

[warm belfry]

yeah

anything over 400 for a cpu is a bit crazy for me tho

[halcyon fossil]

im just waiting for the 3700x or the 3800x to he added to pcpartpicker

with prices and everything

same with the boards

i wanna price it all out

[warm belfry]

"The Ryzen 7 3700X will kick things off at $329, while the Ryzen 7 3800X will be on the shelves for $399. If you want real multitasking performance, however, the Ryzen 9 3950X will set you back $749. But that’s rather cheap by Intel’s standards."

found that on a site

[halcyon fossil]

ik

but the boards

[warm belfry]

yeah

the 570x are supposed to be pricey

[halcyon fossil]

also i wanna see if the 3700x is that much worse than the 3800x

[wraith ridge]

If you live near a microcenter you can start getting a build together and come 7/7 add your CPU & MB

[halcyon fossil]

gotta wait for benchmarks

nah id do newegg

[warm belfry]

dang the clock speeds are gonna be high for ryzen 3000

the 3700x has a turbo of 4.4

[halcyon fossil]

that doesnt mean the processor will be good though

just wait for benchmarks

[warm belfry]

yeah

[quick ibex]

I broke it 👌

[surreal apex]

yikes.

[crude lintel]

Moment of silence

[quick ibex]

Lol game engine couldn’t handle 2k at 144

[quick ibex]

quick question: i'm playing fivem and i'm getting around 38-43 fps but i have task manager open on my second monitor and nothing is being used over 50% so what could be causing frame drops?

[halcyon fossil]

thermals

[quick ibex]

everything but my ram is at 45-50C

[halcyon fossil]

huh

[quick ibex]

well i assume you mean overheating?

[halcyon fossil]

well i mean a game wont use 100% of ur gpu

[quick ibex]

yeah

some other games i play use 70% of my gpu and get higher framerate

[tulip trench]

if ur game is using 100% of your gpu, you're cpu bottlenecked.

[quick ibex]

yeah but nothing is over 50% so i'm really confused lol

[eager grotto]

Has anyone ever had an issue with corsair products

[quick ibex]

yup

my ram is rated at 3200

runs at 2133

[eager grotto]

I mean the RGB hub not working, and only lighting fans in a specific order

[halcyon fossil]

well of course someones bound to have an issue with a corsair product

as with any produvt

product*

but corsairs a great brand

youre gonna be fine

[eager grotto]

The bottom 3 ports wont light any fan and its under a year old

[halcyon fossil]

@quick ibex check ur xmp profiles

[quick ibex]

yeah i did all that with the ram

idrc about it

[halcyon fossil]

ok

anyways

[full wing]

you can set it manually as well

Is Xidax a good pc company?

And are they worth?

[halcyon fossil]

never heard of them tbh

[full wing]

Really?

BRO

EPIC PRUSSIAN MAN

SUP

[halcyon fossil]

yep never heard of them

[full wing]

Is this a good build for what it’s worth?

[halcyon fossil]

the pic is loading hold on

[full wing]

sup

[halcyon fossil]

no that computer isnt worth $700

$630*

[full wing]

Oh what company do you recommend? For pre built PCs with windows already installed?

[halcyon fossil]

cyberpowerpc

ibuypower

[full wing]

But they cost soooo much.

[halcyon fossil]

fair

[full wing]

Any thing under $900

[halcyon fossil]

you thinkin about building it yourself?

[full wing]

Nope

Can’t build stuff

[halcyon fossil]

you could get an awesome computer for like $600-$700

if you build it yourself

[full wing]

Do you think I could buy the parts and send them to my local PC store and they can build it?

[halcyon fossil]

youd have to ask your local pc store

obviously youd have to pay for them to build it

let me go find a good computer for u brb

[full wing]

Okie thx

[vital sundial]

what price range aree you lookign for,? also AMD or intel?

@full wing

[full wing]

AMD and $800 or $900

[vital sundial]

easy enough, give me a git. need a case or no?

[full wing]

What’s a git?

Yes need a case

You mean bit?

I’m guessing so

[halcyon fossil]

i cant find a shareable link for the life of me but here

hold on the image is sending

wait actually hold on

[full wing]

Okie

[halcyon fossil]

ABS Mage E - Ryzen 5 2600 - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - 16GB DDR4 - 512GB SSD - Gaming Desktop PC

oof

https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-mage-e-ala106/p/N82E16883102696

there u go

its a bit overbudget but i mean

its a good compyter

[full wing]

Thanks I can find a couple more bucks.

[vital sundial]

yea, bit., I was multi-taskign and had rl thing goin on lol

[full wing]

you can do better yourself tho

[halcyon fossil]

he wants a pre built

[full wing]

I can’t build

local PC store thing?

Yes

i'd buy the parts and have it built then

[vital sundial]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-computer-technologies-master-pro-ala078/p/N82E16883102371?Item=N82E16883102371 <just replace the 1050 ti with a 1660 ti

[clever coral]

building is not that hard, I highly recommend it. there are a lot of tech you-tubers who posted videos on how to build a pc.

infact, you can buy one with the exact same specs for 41.58 USD lower

pc list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZhYWxG

link to tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHY6ygHj80c

[full wing]

Is this some good specs for 899?

Thxs for the help btw

[neat hare]

yo I saw like a 2060 pc for 885 somewhere

look around deeper and wider

[swift bough]

no it is NOT worth it

my pc was 750 and it had the 2600x and the same gpu

only thing that you're probably paying extra for is the warranty and because it's prebuilt

you can get an rtx 2060 with 900 bucks

[full wing]

Oh I saw it because I’m trying to get my first ever gaming pc

Like I will buy one and built it but I need like a step by step help and help install windows

Like my main problem I think I will have is power supply and the graphics card

Everything else look easy

[swift bough]

no

the graphics card is the easiest

everything else takes a bit more but is simple

[full wing]

I meant screwing in the motherboard

[manic verge]

trust me its easy peasy as long as you have a screwdriver and a table that isnt made of metal

[halcyon fossil]

screwing the mobo in is easy too

screw in the standoffs where your motherboard has holes, and the hold your motherboard up to the standoffs and use the screws to screw it in

the power supply is easy too

just put it inside the case, and screw it in on the back

from there, figure out what cables you need, and route them through the back and put them where they need to go

[manic verge]

theres tons of videos on how to do it, bitwit has a really good step by step one

[glossy talon]

yeah i like bitwits tutorial

[violet parrot]

@solid mirage how dare you play that cursed game SHAME SHAME ON YOU

[solid mirage]

:/

[full wing]

I wished there was more direct $800 pc full build guides

Hey I got a build I think will do good for a first ever gaming pc, here is the link.

715 rn

[clear forge]

Can you post the link in here pls?

[full wing]

Ok

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rt7sq4

Only thing I’m worried about the the CPU cooler

And maybe RAM

[frank kernel]

i would honestly wait if you can. if it's not absolutely necessary, i'd hold out for a ryzen 3000

[full wing]

But my budget is $750

And I’m still saving for a mouse, keyboard and monitor

[frank kernel]

not able to save up any more than that?

[clear forge]

It’s a good solid build

[full wing]

Nope I’m 14, with a job of mowing yards

[clear forge]

Here’s some advice. Build the computer don’t spend money on anything else

[frank kernel]

pretty much that

[full wing]

Any other recommendations or switch outs

Because this is final right here

a whole 2 years worth of Savin up

[clear forge]

What’s your max budget?

[full wing]

Well $850

[clear forge]

Okay

[full wing]

Maybe 900 but that’s pushing it

[frank kernel]

so that leaves $100 for a keyboard, mouse, and monitor

[full wing]

Let’s go with 850 tho

[frank kernel]

it's too bad black friday isn't closer. you'd likely be able to snag some really good deals

[clear forge]

I’ll put together a parts list and see how you like it

[full wing]

This is a bruh, moment, but when is Black Friday

[frank kernel]

the friday after thanksgiving

[full wing]

Ooof that’s too far away

[frank kernel]

yep

[full wing]

The thing is I’ve been looking around the market for 3-2 months now

And I think this is my setup.

[frank kernel]

i'd still suggest maybe holding out until the ryzen 3000's launch. you might be able to snag one of them, or maybe even get a better deal on the current line of cpu's because of a price drop

they're being launched in 6 days

[full wing]

Ooh how much

Like 250 or 300

[clear forge]

They are expensive

The new ryzens

[full wing]

I’m guessing 275+

[frank kernel]

well, prices aren't set in stone, yet, there's only speculation

[full wing]

Expired you got the kit, or you still working on it

No rush btw

[clear forge]

I’m still working on it

[full wing]

Okie

@frank kernel what would you trade out, but not including the new ryzen

[clear forge]

@full wing https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kH3N3b

[full wing]

Thxs

[clear forge]

Yep

[frank kernel]

that's not really a bad build for a limited budget. honestly, though, i'd look into getting a SSD drive. only way to do that would probably be dropping down the capacity of the HDD, maybe go with a 1TB, and maybe cutting down to 8g ram. i'm using 8g right now and it's been fine for me

[full wing]

Well I’m thinking of playing rust so it demand 16gs

expired

[frank kernel]

ahhh, i've heard of that game, never played it, though

[full wing]

It’s a good game

Don’t bash me on it, but maybe Minecraft but on some popular servers

[clear forge]

The build has 16GB and an SSD for booting with a 1TB for games

[full wing]

Yea I saw thxs

[frank kernel]

i've seen a couple videos on it, but doesn't look like my sort of thing. seems like there's a decent following for it

[full wing]

Expired your build looks godly so imma take your word on it.

And what will I do if I can’t build it

[frank kernel]

never got into minecraft either. i got sucked into mmo's about 17 years ago with EQ

[full wing]

Do you think you guys could maybe could walk me threw the build m, as in the community of new egg discord

Not just you guys

[clear forge]

Yes

[full wing]

Like I know how to put the cpu, and the stock cooler, and ram but that’s really it (rip)

[frank kernel]

there's lots of videos out there telling you how to build a pc. it may seem daunting and complicated, but really, it isn't. i've been building them over 20 years now, and one thing that's happened over the years is that it's gotten a lot easier to do

well, my first computer had a cyrix processor in it. that company isn't even around anymore. i tried to throw a video card in it, but it wouldn't work, come to find out, the processor itself didn't play well with other hardware as well as intel and amd did. so, i taught myself how to build computers, reading everything i could. my first build was an intel celeron 300A with an a-bit bh6 motherboard, 96 megs of ram, diamond viper 330 video card, a soundblaster 32 sound card, and a western digital 1.2g hard drive

[full wing]

Do you thinks this is a good space to put the pc?

[frank kernel]

as long as you're not blocking intake and exhaust, you're good to put it wherever

[full wing]

Thxs for the help, @clear forge and @frank kernel much appreciation, and helping me to start pc gaming!

[frank kernel]

you're welcome. hope you enjoy it

[sand ridge]

does anyone know how i use a ps4 controller on pc and not lose audio through my headphones that are plugged into the pc?

i would connect the controller through Bluetooth but my pc says i don't have any Bluetooth capabilities

[surreal apex]

get a cheap usb BT dongle

[sand ridge]

any one will work?

[surreal apex]

yeah

[reef dagger]

@sand ridge I could also prefer using SCPToolKit

You may have to insstall some programs in order for it to work.

But once you install the kit it'll automatically do it for you.

Try looking up some tutorials on how to set everything up.

It works perfectly fine!

It doesn't work wirelessly though.

[sand ridge]

@reef dagger ok i wasnt sure because i watched a video on how to set the things up but when i try to plug in the controller it works fine and all but the only issue i have is i cant hear anyone trying to talk to me through the headset

[reef dagger]

oh

[tender swift]

and when you plugged in the controller, did you switch your audio output back to your headset in windows?

because a lot of times, windows will auto-witch to a newly plugged in audio input or output

Click the small speaker icon next to the clock on your Windows taskbar.
Select the small up arrow to the right of your current audio output device.
Select your output of choice from the list that appears.

[hollow vortex]

Is this a good place to see if anyone wants to trade items on tf2?

[pulsar lava]

.

[hollow vortex]

is it not >.<

[sand ridge]

@tender swift ya I made sure I changed that but it didn’t fix anything. I think I’ll just have to get an adapter

[somber relic]

can anyone direct me and building a pc under 750 ?

[full wing]

Same

[swift bough]

under 750?

any exact budget?

[halcyon fossil]

max 749 lol

[swift bough]

lamo

under 750

so most people would assume then 700

if you got a ryzen 5 1600, you could prob still get a gtx 1660

[clear forge]

Go for the Ryzen 1600 get the 1660 with 16GB RAM not Vram and you should be set

[swift bough]

yeah

[full wing]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LFkyJ8 (is this a good build for a beginner)

[halcyon fossil]

yes

good budget choice

[full wing]

Good

Ima recommend this build too any body new too.

[halcyon fossil]

nah dont

[full wing]

Why?

[halcyon fossil]

also

you might wanna get an ssd

[full wing]

Oh yea

Lemme do that real quick

[halcyon fossil]

also i wouldnt recommend it to everyone who just wants an easy build because everyone has different needs

some people might not need that good of a gpu

[full wing]

Oh ok

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KhcPjy

There the finish build

[halcyon fossil]

ur gonna want an nvme m.2 ssd

sata bottlenecks the capability of ssds

also 128gb wont cut it for windows updates

[full wing]

So what do you recommend under 30 bucks

[tender swift]

hold on

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V6W7zY

it's $2 over

but it's much faster

and it's double the capacity of the one you had listed

the SATA SSD you listed had a maximum sequential write of 500MB/s

this one is 1,700MB/s

[halcyon fossil]

yeah thats leagues better

[fierce spruce]

ANYONE DOWN FOR cs

[swift bough]

@full wing the build is 800 in usd right?

[full wing]

Yes sir

Ok thxs

[swift bough]

are you getting that monitor?

[full wing]

Yes

[sand ridge]

When should I worry about doing water cooking? I like the fans but idk when I should switch.

I have 3 fans in the case atm plus 1 on the cpu cooler

Going to get a 4th fan soon

[light vortex]

100 c. Or 212 F

Water cooling on the other hand..... 😂😂

Keep an eye on your temps... if your running warm, adding another fan can make all the difference.... depending on how hot and if you OC... then a water cooler can make a big change

45-50c should be standard operating temp for CPU. 60 peak and not for long time

If your running 45-50 under a load then your fine... if you add another fan and can drop it by 2-3+ then improves CPU life by a margin.

[surreal apex]

depends on how he has those fans setup aswell.

[light vortex]

Yep.

[surreal apex]

and I'd say 75c for peak.

[sand ridge]

I just have 1 fan for intake in the front, 1 exhaust and one on top. I plan on getting another fan in the front for intake to help bring in cooler air. I usual run about 45-55c under load on high setting 1080p

I haven’t over clocked anything yet though.

The highest the cpu has gotten is 60c for a short time because I was doing a lot of thing on top of gaming at the same time

I kinda figured I wouldn’t need to go water cooling until maybe after I upgrade to the new Ryzen 3000 series and rtx 2060

[light vortex]

Then adding the extra front fan or an exhaust in the back then really didn’t need liquid.. but it’s always a nice addition. Lol.

[sand ridge]

Ya I figured I’d be fine for awhile. But I was just curious lol

The only reason why I’m upgrading to the rtx 2060 and a new Ryzen cpu is to prepare for cyberpunk 2077 lol

[light vortex]

AMD always runs hot... anything to help it along. Lol

[surreal apex]

No they dont.

[sand ridge]

I’ve heard quite the opposite about AMD. I’ve heard in a lot of cases your better off picking AMD over intel unless your sole purpose of having a pc is Strictly gaming

[tender swift]

yeah, the 8th and 9th gen intel chips run pretty hot

Ryzen stays pretty cool

[sand ridge]

I’m just waiting for benchmarks to come out for the new Ryzen chips

Hey all looking into to try and make a budget build to get into pc gaming and am considering trying to find a good deal on a stock desktop and upgrade the graphics card up to a playable level. Does anyone have any experience with attempting this? Any particular models you know can be found relatively cheap and are easily upgradeable? Any info helps thanks in advance everybody!

[surreal apex]

how cheap you talking @fossil steppe

[fossil steppe]

I mean as possible while still being able to play games like destiny at 1080p at over 60fps

[tender swift]

something like that would absolutely do it

[swift bough]

people never tell us their budGGGEETTTT

wHy

[surreal apex]

yeah it's kind of hard with out that in mind.

[swift bough]

"budget build"

so you want us to make a 300 or a 700 pc build

budget can mean different things

[fleet flare]

HA HA, my budget was 500 spent 576.28

[swift bough]

ok?

[fleet flare]

for what i need , totally happy

[fossil steppe]

I have some guy locally offering a pc with these specs (I7 3770k
16 GB Ram
RX 580 8gb
Corsair liquid cooling) for $400 does that sound like a good deal?

[halcyon fossil]

that processors a bit in the older side

the rest sounds good tho

[fossil steppe]

As far as budget I currently don’t want to spend more than $400 but would like some room to upgrade later on if possible

[halcyon fossil]

then yeah thats a good price

rx 580 is a great card

@tender swift what do u think

[low lichen]

how is a 560

[fossil steppe]

I’m trying to see if the motherboard it’s using offers the ability to upgrade to a newer processor down the line

[halcyon fossil]

it wont be super upgradeable

if at all

that uses lga 1155

[fossil steppe]

The thing that confuses me the most is the compatibility of all the different components

[halcyon fossil]

yeah that processor is just holding the machine back a bit

[fossil steppe]

That’s kind of why I was trying to pick up a stock office style desktop with a good processor and some ram and upgrade the gpu if poIBLE
