[desert gulch]

@earnest olive you got any ideas?

[sacred gale]

So

[desert gulch]

if it has power and its plugged to usb

[sacred gale]

Forgot the front header needed to be plugged back in

We now have power

[flint sapphire]

Gratz

[sacred gale]

You all deserve the biggest forhead kisses goodnight

💞

[willow quest]

Does anyone have a case recommendation that lets me mount my 240mm rad on top without changing my ram

[sacred gale]

So now that I have the most important aspects of my pc functional I bid you all ideu until I come back for help installing the drivers

Goodnight to you all

Much love

[earnest olive]

what ram do you have?

@sacred gale glad you got it working

enjoy your big boy build lol

[willow quest]

Corsair vengeance pro rgb 2x16 3600

[earnest olive]

you should be fine with a phanteks g360a

most mid towers fit that description

[willow quest]

Yeah i got the Corsair 465x and unfortunately it was not big enough

So I’m currently in the process of returning it and trying to find a case that fits

[earnest olive]

@sacred gale i'd like to comment that your side fans are configured as exhaust, did you mean to do that? most people configure side fans as intake

[undone saddle]

What they call the sag thing for heavy gpu?

[stoic island]

gpu bracket

you can just use legos

[undone saddle]

Saw good looking one but forgot to save it for later

[sacred gale]

You are correct everything is backwards lmao

[earnest olive]

nah

[sacred gale]

But as long as I know what works now I would really use it till I have a gpu

[earnest olive]

your top (aio) fans and bottom fans look good

only the side fans are wrong direction

[sacred gale]

Ok Coolio I'll keep that in mind

Appreciate all your hope btw

Help*

[earnest olive]

np glad we got it running

[undone saddle]

I never built a pc and when all the parts arrive im ganna need alot of help

[drowsy zodiac]

mood lol

ima watch a youtube video

slowly piece it together

[undone saddle]

Watched million linus vids

[drowsy zodiac]

lollllll

fr

[undone saddle]

[drowsy zodiac]

you should be good man

[undone saddle]

Linus just fun to watch

[drowsy zodiac]

take your time

[undone saddle]

How does the usb header looks like on the mobo

Buttom right usb 2.0?

[cyan ravine]

Yeah

[undone saddle]

Cool thx

[cyan ravine]

(In a doctor's voice) that'll be $200

[undone saddle]

[undone saddle]

The i9 12900k supposed to be $680?

[strong raft]

"hey google: how much is a 12900K?" edit: yes I checked the intel website also, their "suggested" price is $589

[undone saddle]

Well saw someone link it in the 550s earlier and when i search my options newegg/amazon its around $680

Chill

/3.75 = 680 ~

[cyan ravine]

Tmw above msrp

Try somewhere else

Or if you feel ballsy, try reporting them

[strong raft]

Right I forgot VAT. Yea idk if you can make them lower that just because it's supposed to be $589 (USD mind you). Perhaps think about the 12700 instead, or end up snagging a 13700K which will beat a 12900K.

[cyan ravine]

Even with the VAT it's like 80 or 90 over msrp

Seriously would try another vendor

And yes a 12700 would be a better spend

[strong raft]

Really doubt that could be had for within $40 of the USD price, but I'd be interested to see if so.

[undone saddle]

Well everything expensive coming here I will have to check if any of the stores have the 12900 here

[cyan ravine]

If you're going for flagship imo it's always a good idea to explore every option

As like everything else but especially with flagship items it can add up fast

[undone saddle]

Yeah it sure did add up

Just need to get the cpu and the lian li evo now

And storage

[little osprey]

If I want to vertical mount my 3070 ti which extension do I need?

[undone saddle]

https://www.newegg.com/global/sa-en/phanteks-ph-vgpukt-02-black/p/N82E16811984028

[little osprey]

Would a FTW3 ultra be too big for it?

Reviews seems kind iffy.

And it seems to only be compatible with PCIE 3.0, and not 4.0?

[undone saddle]

Says support 2 slots cards

No idea if thats going to affect performance

[little osprey]

[undone saddle]

EZDIY-FAB Vertical PCIe 4.0 GPU Mount Bracket Graphic Card Holder, Video Card VGA Support Kit with PCIe 4.0 X16 Gen4 17cm/6.69in Riser Cable 90 Degree Right Angle- White https://a.co/d/eRfY61I

There are many options on amazon

[obsidian wigeon]

it would still work on 3.0 mode

no perf decreases

[dusk ginkgo]

Are those lians li strimmer v2 cables good? I'm thinking about getting them when I get my new gpu

I know they are just extensions but I wanna know how good the quality and lights are on it

[fossil cedar]

As good as you can get for rgb extensions

[analog pulsar]

@fossil cedar so I'm meeting someone today to trade gpu for 6600 nice little 2 fan gpu also paypal but my money on hold sad

[fossil cedar]

Okay?

[lilac ember]

is that work

[undone saddle]

Bought it havent arrived. Looks good on vids

[fossil cedar]

Yes it will prevent gpu sag

[lilac ember]

Gpu sag always a problem

[undone saddle]

Amazon so stupid cant schedule specific date for delivery

[drowsy zodiac]

hey what’s dropshipping that’s how my psu is coming

from cc

[forest briar]

Company outsources the shipping of the product to a 3rd party.

Just means a 3rd party is fulfilling your order

[drowsy zodiac]

oh ok takes longer or nah

[forest briar]

Depends

[drowsy zodiac]

it’s a corsair psu

[forest briar]

Doesn’t change how fast it ships :p

[empty pollen]

nothing some leggo blocks cant fix 😛

[willow quest]

I was not sent AM4 standoffs with my h100i elite capellix. Can I use any of the intel standoffs as substitutes?

[fossil cedar]

contact corsair and they will send you one

[crystal berry]

yall think these look nice

[mossy venture]

Just get the cheapest 3200c16 kit you can find

I've no clue if that's a good price bc idk the market where you live

[crystal berry]

its one of cheapest

[mossy venture]

If that's under 70 usd, it's probably mediocre

[crystal berry]

and it has rgn

its 70 and sum

but my

country

[mossy venture]

Probably fine then

[crystal berry]

prices are overpriced

[mossy venture]

Yeah

[crystal berry]

these tho

fire

these are 91usd

othee 74usd

[cyan ravine]

They also have trouble running their rated speeds

[crystal berry]

vengence isnt bad

its 17 nore usd

[cyan ravine]

Corsair mixes different chips from different manufacturers into their ddr4 ram sticks so more often than you think they have issues running xmp

[crystal berry]

than the shadow

[cyan ravine]

I would rather take a chance with the shadow sticks tbh

[crystal berry]

there bettee u think

[cyan ravine]

Yup

[crystal berry]

also cheaper 17 usd

[cyan ravine]

Yea

[crystal berry]

ok than

thanks

[cyan ravine]

👍

[crystal berry]

this tho

2x8

are more 12 dollars or sum than the shadow

shadow

@cyan ravine

[cyan ravine]

I would go the shadow kit

If the Geil's were cheaper but with 2x8? Yes

[crystal berry]

ok

isnt the vengence longer varanity

@cyan ravine

[cyan ravine]

I still wouldn't

[crystal berry]

ok than thanks

then

[willow quest]

Do the screws you use to attach the motherboard into the case come with the case’s accessory kit?

[empty pollen]

yes

[untold vessel]

How do we activate Wifi on the https://www.amazon.com/MSI-PRO-B660M-DDR4-Motherboard/dp/B09PX7D8KY

I screwed in the wifi drumstick things

but what's the next step? I don't see my home wifi appearing on the windows startup page

[earnest olive]

should work out of the box

[untold vessel]

Without the sticks?

im not getting anything

[earnest olive]

generally it'll work with the antenna but the signal will be very weak

[untold vessel]

What do i do to improve it

is there a button or software i use after installing the antenna

because right now this new windows key is prompting me to connect to wifi but I don't see any wifi servers at all

[earnest olive]

try going through it without wifi

and use another machine to get wifi drivers to install on it

[drowsy zodiac]

best cheap cpu coolers

for lga1700

[empty pollen]

you need to install the drivers

[empty pollen]

se-214 or the vetro 5

[fossil cedar]

for canada gammaxx 400 https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/x2JmP6/deepcool-gammaxx-400-v2-645-cfm-cpu-cooler-dp-mch4-gmx400v2-bl

[untold vessel]

Which?

[empty pollen]

dunno, drivers for your mobo... usually you look on the brand webpage (asus, msi, gigglebyte) and you get the full list of drivers for your mobo, including the wifi driver

[cyan ravine]

Ehhhhhh

Tuf A15 comes with either 1x16 or 2x8

But this is dependent on the specific sku??

[fossil cedar]

Bruh

[cyan ravine]

I wanna know now not after I open it up

Idk which one would even be better cos 2x8 lpddr5 is probably cope and 1x16 apparently doesn't like any old second stick

Probably the 1x16 I think

If I want 32gb later this is probably wise

[drowsy zodiac]

lga1700?

[fossil cedar]

Chances are it comes with one but if it's the rare case it doesn't deepcool can send you it
https://www.deepcool.com/products/Cooling/cpuaircoolers/Gammaxx-400-Blue-CPU-Cooler/2021/125.shtml

[drowsy zodiac]

ok fs

thanks!

[fossil cedar]

Np

[lilac ember]

hey how e

[drowsy zodiac]

i wonder if it will fit with the case i’m getting lol

BitFenix Nova Mesh SE TG

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[lilac ember]

sli sill good

[cyan ravine]

Nope

SLI is dead

Like

Super dead

In a few months it should head to the grave once next-gen comes out

Unless nvidia pulls another nvidiot and decides to keep it on for one more gen to stay on top of benchmarks lmao

[empty pollen]

4090 titan sli

saw it on my crystal ball already

[lilac ember]

i like do 2 of 4090 ti

[mossy venture]

Gl with that one chief

[empty pollen]

2 4090 titan should need like a 2kW psu or something

and thats not counting your home wiring setup

you will need a separate fuse box

[cyan ravine]

I live pretty close to a power station, I hope they don't complain when I sap the entire neighbourhood through the silicon veins of my 2 4090's

[empty pollen]

also you will need to run the custom loop thru your fridge radiator and compressor

or put the rig next to the a/c on an open case

[cyan ravine]

Integrate it directly to my AC compressor

[drowsy zodiac]

any good?

[desert gulch]

no

[drowsy zodiac]

no

lol

[earnest olive]

never buy a 120mm aio

[desert gulch]

120mm aios are pointless unless you absolutely need it for a sff built

[drowsy zodiac]

i don’t know to much about aio

[desert gulch]

budget air cooler could match the performance of that

[stoic island]

Bigger radiator = good

[drowsy zodiac]

i’m just looking for a fan or something that will be ready out of the box lga1700 compatible

[desert gulch]

to expand on this, ls720 = good

[desert gulch]

what cpu?

[drowsy zodiac]

i5 12400f

[desert gulch]

se214 xt

[fossil cedar]

Trash

[earnest olive]

https://i.redd.it/8xubbd7ikme91.jpg

[fossil cedar]

Gammaxx 400 is best option in cananda like i said earlier

[drowsy zodiac]

but i don’t think i’ll be able to get the lga1700 bracket for the model of that fan

[cyan ravine]

Wth how thick is that rad

[drowsy zodiac]

i don’t think deepcool ships to canada

[fossil cedar]

Unlesss you get v unlucky it wil have lga 1700

[earnest olive]

thicker than my skull

[desert gulch]

💀

[fossil cedar]

Also yes their customer support will

[desert gulch]

also yes we will keep giving you the same answer

[fossil cedar]

Art

[cyan ravine]

Hey it's me

[mossy venture]

Real test is is it thicker than mine

[cyan ravine]

I don't remember me writing this

My memories

[drowsy zodiac]

ok hopefully it has it ig

[earnest olive]

sorry it was me I hacked your account to give build advice

[cyan ravine]

Hack by friend request??

[empty pollen]

wth, are those garden hoses?

[drowsy zodiac]

this be confusing lol

cuz then i watch youtube vids and nobody has them:( lol

[desert gulch]

BEQUIET

[earnest olive]

[earnest olive]

hack by fre nitroo

[desert gulch]

posts venmo account

[cyan ravine]

[desert gulch]

"pay 20 dollar and youll get free nitro for a month??? 😳 "

[fossil cedar]

Popular doesn't mean bad or good

[desert gulch]

p-gm 😳

[drowsy zodiac]

eh i’ll get the gammax 400 see what happens lol

[fossil cedar]

If very unlikely doesn't have bracket, deepcool will send you it and you can use stock cooler in the meantime

[drowsy zodiac]

yeah 100%

[earnest olive]

the most popular pc parts are not great choices if pcpp is to be believed

time to do a build where I just select the most popular for everything

let's see how bad it is

[fossil cedar]

Raisin 5 3600 + 280mm 300$ kraken + nzxt h510 + seasonic s12ii

[earnest olive]

oh wow

[empty pollen]

im a simple man, saved a few more bucks and went straight to ak620

[earnest olive]

the 4000d airflow is more popular than the nzxt h510 now

I'm proud of everyone

[fossil cedar]

So like first recommendations?

[fossil cedar]

Yay

[earnest olive]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4r9JYg

not as bad as expected

still pretty bad

the $53 hyper 212 is cringe

[stoic island]

I hate the 212

It's still the most popular thing somehow

[desert gulch]

but its a super high end cooler, the only thing that beats it is a z73...

[stoic island]

And it keeps being picked because it's popular and comes up as the first option

[earnest olive]

hyper 212 has fine performance if you get it cheap enough but

definitely not for $53 lol

and it has the worst mounting hardware ever

[desert gulch]

i can confirm too

you saw the pic when i repasted right?

[earnest olive]

yeah

[desert gulch]

oh wait actually

pa120 SE has a worse mounting kit, its lga1700 kit but still

[earnest olive]

I'd buy a hyper 212 for $10

[desert gulch]

its this awful bracket and just yucky in every way

[earnest olive]

any higher and I'd just move up to se-214-xt

[desert gulch]

cmon now

i bought mine for $30

[earnest olive]

idk, do you need pliers to unmount the pa120?

I needed pliers to unmount my old 212

[desert gulch]

💀

they give you a wrench for those little pieces of crap tbf

[earnest olive]

standoffs got stuck to the board

[desert gulch]

its just a skill issue if you lose it

[drowsy zodiac]

my first build https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/FvQjBj

[earnest olive]

it's funny how the coolers that get called 212 clones are superior products to the 212

[desert gulch]

i mean they had like 20 years to make a better product lol

[earnest olive]

yeah but usually clones are the same or worse

airpods clones

usually worse

[desert gulch]

oh yeah mr1 sent me something yesterday

name look familiar?

[earnest olive]

LOL

should have named it fantechs

[desert gulch]

lmao

imagine if they actually didnt know tho

[earnest olive]

middle tower

[desert gulch]

i also saw a funny funny on tiktok earlier

ignore the first sentence

[earnest olive]

LOL

[desert gulch]

first sentence is fair

[earnest olive]

good idea actually

[stoic island]

First sentence is acceptable

[earnest olive]

cpu manufacturers should make it so that post fails if single channel

[stoic island]

Lol

[earnest olive]

dell crying in the corner

[desert gulch]

dell and hp instantly go bankrupt

[stoic island]

But dead sticks make life painful

[desert gulch]

oh sips did you see the g6 screenshots i posted like 10-15 mins ago?

[stoic island]

They have to pay for all the returns lol

[earnest olive]

no

[stoic island]

Btw what server is that

[desert gulch]

ltt

[stoic island]

Oh

[desert gulch]

go figure

[stoic island]

And who is golden

[desert gulch]

goldenlag?

[stoic island]

Never heard of him

[desert gulch]

hes a tier list contributor

[stoic island]

All I know is golden from bo's videos

[desert gulch]

hes in pcmr and cultists iirc

[stoic island]

Never seen them in pcmr, don't look at cultists lol

[stoic island]

I see now

[desert gulch]

so yeah hes pretty competent

[stoic island]

Btw windshields gave up on SSDs

[desert gulch]

lmao

part swaps got to him?

[desert gulch]

@earnest olive do you get it?

[desert gulch]

can i have invite to server?

[stoic island]

That servers dead now

[desert gulch]

i just wanna see the funny

[earnest olive]

what's there to get

just a fanboy no?

[stoic island]

EVGA G6 is made by seasonic, it's literally an improved seasonic focus

[earnest olive]

oh

lol

[desert gulch]

its so ironic

[earnest olive]

I didn't know that

you know more about power supplies than I do

[desert gulch]

i bet that guys mind just broke

[earnest olive]

all I do is look at tier list and choose one based on price

[desert gulch]

i hope he doesnt think all evga psus are seasonic now lol

ye

[stoic island]

Price matters

[stoic island]

Too much research into any topic leads to becoming windshields

[cyan ravine]

What happens if you research windshields

[hasty tendon]

Does anyone know why my pc won’t show video? I went from a i5 10400 to i7 11700k and 2060, I updated bios, and took out the little battery to reset cmos, nothing.

@ me if you can help plz

[potent portal]

Try plugging into the motherboard for video instead of the GPU to narrow down the issue

[hasty tendon]

I tried both over and over again :[

[fossil cedar]

This kills me

[potent portal]

Next step is reseating things one by one yeah

Check for bent pins on the mobo too

[fossil cedar]

Lmao

[fossil cedar]

Only 1 stick of ram? Who knows if it will even boot to bios

[tight pasture]

men I need some help my friend needs a pc build and his budget is $1250.

this is what i got but i need some more assistance

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xjVkW4

[fossil cedar]

Need wifi?

[tight pasture]

na

[fossil cedar]

27$ over but worth it
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BLZnyK
Could do this for 10$ less
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vs2qPX

[desert gulch]

Ga yucky tho

Gt def worth +$5

[fossil cedar]

Ga is fine

[lilac ember]

What you guys think about this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VvmVmr

[desert gulch]

meh meh transients tho

[fossil cedar]

Actually could do this to only be 7 over
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rZpdd9 @tight pasture

[fossil cedar]

Some parts being carried forward? If so might wanna mark them as purchased

[lilac ember]

Yeah I still have the ram CPU

[fossil cedar]

And that ram is such a waste of money

You have the mobo psu or cooler?

[lilac ember]

And I I still have the old fan

[fossil cedar]

You mean cooler?

[lilac ember]

Yeah I still have to cooler

[fossil cedar]

So this what you have?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nyYpzf

[desert gulch]

the ga is andysons absolutely "great"

creation

[lilac ember]

no

[fossil cedar]

What else missing?

[desert gulch]

not a ton of testing done on ga unfortunately but we do know it has transient issues so far

[fossil cedar]

And add it in as purchased

I see

@tight pasture would do this then
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zwdNxs

[desert gulch]

gt is nice, sadly its discontinued so its kinda gonna be like ballistix

same with g6 and ga

just slowly gonna kinda vanish

but its a nice deal while theyre still in stock

[fossil cedar]

Well at least you don't want to add another gt down the road like ballistix lol

[desert gulch]

thats the reason the $50 850gt existed on evga bstock or whatever lol

ye

[fossil cedar]

I see

[empty pollen]

thats sad D:

im goin to treasure my g6 more than ever

😢

some years from now it will be a relic from a golden era

[desert gulch]

treasure that g6

last seasonic evga unit 😭

unless evga somehow gets seasonic back

[fossil cedar]

Did ss drop evga or did evga drop ss?

[desert gulch]

idk but evga dropping them would be my guess

[lilac ember]

@fossil cedar this i have https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rC72W4

[mossy venture]

You've already bought this?

[lilac ember]

Yeah I still have it it was not damaged

[lilac ember]

corsair commander pro and corsair commander xl it Come with CPU cooler

[empty pollen]

my my... that aio....

omg those fans

[desert gulch]

$451 in total if youre wondering

[lilac ember]

Ql fan

[empty pollen]

43 bucks each fan, man i need some fresh air

holy molly

[lilac ember]

It was on sale on Best Buy I play 350 that time

[mossy venture]

Notice how there's no gpu in there

[lilac ember]

GPU got damage

[empty pollen]

nor mobo

didnt saw the memory either

[empty pollen]

4 sticks of cl18 64gigs

omg

[lilac ember]

You see that bad I show you

[empty pollen]

oh

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HKfKKp

[empty pollen]

that was your brother dropping the pc thru the fastway right? and dropping a hammer afterwards

[lilac ember]

Yep

[empty pollen]

im still wondering why he's still alive

[lilac ember]

Me too

[strong raft]

Scared me for a second, but it's not a Pascal.

[lilac ember]

@fossil cedar can you find better motorboard for water cooling and RGB and can 128gb

[mossy venture]

Motherboard and water cooling are not dependant on each other

[strong raft]

Yea it is, we want a mobo w/ WC, lol jk

[fossil cedar]

No point spending more for that much rgb you'll need a hub anyway

[lilac ember]

i gat one

[loud tundra]

Which case is that?

[lilac ember]

7000d

[loud tundra]

Corsair?

[lilac ember]

Yep

[loud tundra]

I literally just ordered the 7000x because the ASUS 3090Ti doesn't fit in my mid-size Corsair case.

[lilac ember]

That d give you a better airflow

Before I got destroyed

[loud tundra]

Love it

[lilac ember]

We Friends now

We both like Corsair

[loud tundra]

The radiator for my water cooling was about 3cm in the way of the new graphics card.

And I couldn't mount the radiator to the top of the existing case, so new case it is.

[lilac ember]

Show me

[loud tundra]

Uh, I only have a picture with everything apart.

[lilac ember]

It ok

[loud tundra]

I can't post pictures here yet.

[lilac ember]

Dm me

[loud tundra]

Sent.

The static bag on the top is the new card, you can already see how big it is compared to the case.

So I already disconnected everything so it's ready to move into the new case once it shows up.

[lilac ember]

I don’t know how big 3090 it is

[loud tundra]

13 inches or 33cm long.

It's MASSIVE.

[empty pollen]

woah

[lilac ember]

I know

I wonder how big going be 4090 it

[loud tundra]

Watch it be 51cm long

[lilac ember]

https://tenor.com/view/ghc-galaxy-heroes-ghc-army-bsc-pumping-gif-25052333

[loud tundra]

I only unboxed the 3090Ti today and was like, "omg, this isn't going to fit."

[lilac ember]

Ha ha ha

I can’t wait for new AMD cpu and 4000 series

[loud tundra]

I was genuinely torn between the 6900xt and the 3090Ti since I have a Ryzen 7 Threadripper 2920x.

[lilac ember]

These are the new board coming out soon

[loud tundra]

Haven't bought a NVIDIA card in 16 years, figured it was time to see what the hype was around the NVIDIA cards.

[stoic island]

Rip taichi is becoming bland

[empty pollen]

the msi one looks sexy af

[stoic island]

Looks the same as the z690 ace tbh

Waiting for the unify

[flint sapphire]

Wait... i dont like this gens taichi... DAMN IT

[cyan ravine]

but it has the cog

[flint sapphire]

nono the cog isnt on the io shield

[cyan ravine]

I see cog

[flint sapphire]

[cyan ravine]

[undone saddle]

[undone saddle]

I kinda regret not getting 3090 ti instead of 3080ti

[loud tundra]

3080Ti is still a great card.

[cyan ravine]

why get a 3090 ti

next-gen is so close that would be a massive waste of flagship money lol

[mossy venture]

3090 ti is a waste of money

[undone saddle]

I heard its delayed

To 2023

[mossy venture]

so is 3080 ti, ocnsidering 3080 12gb is 3% worse and $200 cheaper

[cyan ravine]

b stock kingpin is 1200 and will compete with a 3090ti, and a 3080 12gb is almost half that for within 10-15%

[undone saddle]

U got a point if they close to release

Ok not worth the 500$ difference lol

[loud tundra]

I only went for the 3090Ti because I'm upgrading from the AMD Frontier Edition (Air cooled)

[undone saddle]

I guess with little oc the 3080ti will hit 3090ti numbers

4k tests above

[strong raft]

Yea and the double vram by itself doesn't do much in most games.

[empty pollen]

long gone are the days of 3% increase for 700 usd more

[undone saddle]

True

[loud tundra]

Until the crypto market rebounds

[potent portal]

Right, next gen it'll be a 3% increase for $1200 more

[undone saddle]

Is this afterburner or different app? Data looks clean

[loud tundra]

324fps, Jesus.

[undone saddle]

I have good expectations for new gen

[undone saddle]

3080ti

[potent portal]

Crypto can rebound all it wants but the main coin mined on GPUs is officially going PoS instead of PoW so demand won't be as high as before

[strong raft]

Look at that game though,

[empty pollen]

3080ti on 1080p... cheesus

[empty pollen]

why? just why?

[undone saddle]

26 fps

[strong raft]

[undone saddle]

Crappy textures lol

[empty pollen]

pato validation tests are on csgo... 500 fps or bust

[strong raft]

I'd take Crysis at 720p over this 8K poopoo game.

[undone saddle]

Even dying light 2 looks better on my 4k rtx 2050

[empty pollen]

4k gaming is a meme... no word on 8k

best gaming resolution is 1440p, change my mind

[undone saddle]

I want to game on 4k

Because for some reason couldn't change resolution on some games like scarlet nexus stuck on 4k

And its unplayable on laptop 2050

[undone saddle]

This is totally playable

[strong raft]

Probably doesn't do it justice. That clip looks like I'm playing on a ps2. (I mean more that the grainyness reminds of me of a CRT/tube TV -- EDIT: yes, 4k gaming=meme to the max (for now)

[undone saddle]

Yeah maybe because filmed by phone and not everything highest

I dont think even ps5 would look as good as that tho

Also i didnt play with tv hdr settings and gaming mode

[potent portal]

You can upscale to 8k using DSR and see how bad it is

[empty pollen]

that sounds awful D:

maybe on the 4090 titan 8k could be playable above 60 fps

the real 8k... not that dlss cheat mode

[undone saddle]

That would be good jump for 4k

[empty pollen]

im hoping to get my hands on a 4070 at launch

if the rumors are true, that should be comparable to a 3090

[undone saddle]

Im hoping for 4090 then will sell the 3080ti

[empty pollen]

at 300w

[mossy venture]

im prolly skipping 40 series

[potent portal]

Titan name is dead for now, XX90 took the slot

[empty pollen]

anything below 4070 is not worth over 30 series

[undone saddle]

Well u have 3090ti u can skipn a gen

[potent portal]

4070 supposedly will be a 300W GPU

[empty pollen]

well i was talking about "the beast" no one knows if it will be a 4090ti or a 4090 titan

the beast is shrouded in mistery

[potent portal]

Slightly better efficiency than 3090 at 350W

[undone saddle]

They bring back titan?

[empty pollen]

no, we dont know

[potent portal]

Depends on how threatened they are by AMD, they only made 3090 ti because of the 6900 XT

[empty pollen]

but "the beast" at 800w tdp is something out of this world

[potent portal]

Mmm that's a hard sell to make. You'd need dual 12+4 pins on that.

[empty pollen]

yeah thats on the rumors as well

[potent portal]

Which if you're using adapters means 6x 8 pin

[empty pollen]

like wth man

[potent portal]

That would be a GPU you can only use on ATX 3.0 PSU for sure, imagine the transients

You'd need a 2kw unit from anything older to avoid blowing up

[empty pollen]

imagine your home wiring

[strong raft]

perhaps use 1 of the 12+4pin cables & then (also) a 3x8pin adapter.

[empty pollen]

supposedly the 4090 "beast" will feature the ad102 full die

now... imagine the kingpin version

😮

[undone saddle]

[empty pollen]

that should be the secret weapon against amd, the final weapon, much like the 3090ti

[brittle tinsel]

is there a channel for networking in here? I dont think its advanced, I just have some questions about port forwarding ipv4 over ipv6. my internet company upgraded to the ipv6 (I feel downgraded honestly) and when we call them they say the port should open as normal but the port never opens.

[potent portal]

We usually just use #electronics

[brittle tinsel]

thanks ❤️

[winter marsh]

Btw do you think its worth adding a Motherboard USB2.0 9Pin to TYPE-C A-KEY Front Connector Converter USB3.2 TYPE-E if your mobo doesn't support Type C out of the box?

[stoic island]

If it's cheap and you want usb-c but don't care about bandwidth, sure

[unborn mesa]

Anybody synced a zotac gpu to a mobo for the rgb

[potent portal]

If you're going to be using that for any kind of data transfer or VR then you really want to convert a USB 3.0+ header. If you don't have one available you can get low profile PCIe adapters that won't block your GPU.

[little osprey]

Check this out on @Newegg: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM4 65W Desktop Processor - 100-100000927BOX https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-5600-ryzen-5-5000-series/p/N82E16819113736?Item=N82E16819113736&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-19-113-736-_-07312022

Can someone tell me how long the sale lasts

[potent portal]

We don't know

[little osprey]

😔

I hope atleast monday

Err

Tuesday

Cause cant order til monday afternoon

[potent portal]

None of us work for Newegg except admins, and they're the wrong department. Sorry

[little osprey]

Sadvibes

They should really tell how long sales are

[potent portal]

"While supplies last" is usually how it goes. I've seen ads that said "72 hour sale" and checked back after 48 hours and it was over lol.

[little osprey]

Ive been without a PC for a few months now and I'd have enough on monday the first

😔

[stray panther]

I can’t for the life of me put in this gpu

The left side doesn’t click in

The right side does

Any suggestions or whatever?

I don’t wanna break it

[potent portal]

Check that the board is on the standoffs correctly and that the GPU slot isn't bent (the part that screws onto the case)

[frank surge]

Hey I built my custom liquid loop PC, and my cpu temp is ranging from 40-50c... is that normal?

[potent portal]

Is that idle or full load?

[frank surge]

idle

[stray panther]

These instruction pamphlets that come with this stuff are criminally bad

[potent portal]

Idle doesn't matter at all, check full load with prime95 small FFT

[stray panther]

I tried everything I can think of

The last resort the internet says for this gpu is to just push it in real hard

Wish me luck

[undone saddle]

Should i just get lian li o11d xl case? Since evo not available here and will be double the price to get

[undone saddle]

Show a picture of the x16 slot im sure people here will help

[stray panther]

Cool what’s an x16 slot

[rotund idol]

I wouldn’t

[undone saddle]

I mean the PCI 4.0x16

[undone saddle]

Why not?

[rotund idol]

To big

[stray panther]

Are those the little bars I had to hand crank out?

[undone saddle]

I want the evo hut not willing to pay x2 price

[rotund idol]

Id honestly just get the mini

i have the evo and its nice but i think the mi i would of looked better more filled up and not so much wasted space

[undone saddle]

Dont like the mini i want 360 aio

Size dont matter much i have the space but evo looked better for sure

[stray panther]

Huh do I not have picture posting rights?

[rotund idol]

ohh ok

[stray panther]

Unlucky

[undone saddle]

Doesnt look that bad

[undone saddle]

Not sure but i think yes

[stray panther]

Ah I need level 3 in the server

Very helpful and intuitive

[undone saddle]

Upload to

https://imgbb.com/

[stray panther]

https://ibb.co/vDyD065

If it’s a bad angle I can retake

I’m currently sitting on the floor cradling it in my lap

[undone saddle]

Pic not loading idk why

[stray panther]

I’m almost level 3 anyway

I think I just need to keep typing?

[undone saddle]

Ask in general maybe not many ppl here right now

[stray panther]

Had to spam message other chats

For xp

[undone saddle]

Slightly move this lock and the card should click in

[stray panther]

I have no clue what I’m doing, I’m not just new to pc building I’m new to pc’s in general only ever used laptops until now

It’s open as is

Unless I can move it more?

The issue looks like the gpu edge thing that goes where you take out the bars hits the case before it goes in fully

And the motherboard lifting things are pre installed with the case

[undone saddle]

One more thing only install the gpu when you already mounted the motherboard in case

[stray panther]

So idk if the motherboard is supposed to be lifted up more?

[undone saddle]

U should watch pc build guide

[stray panther]

Yeah I had it “installed” and closed up the pc only to realize the gpu wasn’t in the whole way and sagging and not being detected

I’d love to not take everything apart but I understand

[undone saddle]

Are all the parts new?

[stray panther]

Yeah

Idk if they’re compatible maybe?

I tried googling everything but life is hard and I just chose all parts that had high reviews and high starts on the newegg app

[undone saddle]

Any new gpu and mobo should be compatible but the cpu is different story

[stray panther]

Ah ok then I’m probably doing something wrong

[undone saddle]

Its your first time building so i suggest watching a guide

https://youtu.be/PXaLc9AYIcg

And u can ask questions here

[stray panther]

I’ve only made it so far from YouTube stuff any video with extra tips is welcome

Everything worked when I thought it was finished and turned it on

But no gpu 😦

[undone saddle]

Can u list all the parts u got

[undone saddle]

Good they are compatible

[stray panther]

Nice

[undone saddle]

U should install the m.2 980 first
Then cpu
Then ram
Then install the motherboard to the case
Then inatall gpu
Psu and run cables

[stray panther]

It’s so lame on my part that I did everything else ok but can’t plug gpu in

Yup that was the order

[undone saddle]

Do u notice any bent pins on the gpu slot

[stray panther]

Not bent bent just flexed a bit from me moving it around

[undone saddle]

The gpu should easily go in

[stray panther]

Right?

That’s what I thought

But hours after trying everything it’s rough

It only goes in on the right side

[undone saddle]

Show clear pictures of the slot

[stray panther]

Left side doesn’t fit

[undone saddle]

And pic of it not fitting

[undone saddle]

Looks fine

[stray panther]

It hurts me so bad

[undone saddle]

U dont always hear a clicking sound but it should be firmly in

[stray panther]

The right side is in nicely

I feel it slide in too

Left just is a brick wall

It might be smashing against the case?

The second 2 rungs removed and the gpu teeth inserted in their slot

No dice

I don’t have any other gpus or anything to test another one with

So idk what the issue is. Case? Mobo? Or gpu?

Which to send back if one is messing with the rest

[undone saddle]

I have basic knowledge too so cant help much but from the looks of it the mobo doesn't look damaged

[stray panther]

I’m just a sad guy

[undone saddle]

Wait opinions from other experienced members

Try in #general-chat

[fossil cedar]

I would highly recommended returning a lot of this stuff btw, awful value and old hardware

But here's a very detailed build guide
https://youtu.be/BL4DCEp7blY

[undone saddle]

True could have gone 12th gen with same price but dont know how easy is it to return

[fossil cedar]

Returns are pretty easy

Not even that tho

The 980 for 10p yikes

And the 3070 ti price

[undone saddle]

The 3070 ti almost at 3080 price

[fossil cedar]

It's the price of a 6800xt

[undone saddle]

Damn big difference

[stray panther]

Sure I know what that is

[fossil cedar]

6800xt is equivalent to a 3080 10gb

[stray panther]

I’m the worlds biggest and dumbest idiot

I want to shrivel up and eat sand

There was a stopped for when it was delivered still on it

Stopper*

Like a cap cover

If you walked at all to me you’ve done your good deed for the day. Helping a mentally deficient person

[undone saddle]

There was a cover on the gpu pins?

[still roost]

Fabled00#4046 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

Fabled00#4046 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

Fabled00#4046 has been kicked

Reason: Too many infractions

[stray panther]

Yes

On the left side

[undone saddle]

Man i didnt even say bad word

Smh

[fossil cedar]

You're not allowed say the other word for crap

[undone saddle]

Even the emoji it seems didnt know that

Good i didn't get ban lol

[fossil cedar]

It's cuz the emoji had that word in it

[undone saddle]

I see

Thx

[restive halo]

Trying to bring this cost down a little if possible. She wants the same monitor, keyboard and mouse due to the pc I built for her other son. Also need 8g GPU so they are the same. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DhWYmr

[fossil cedar]

Monitor is nowhere worth 300$, put in one for 280 that has same specs and a bit better colour wise for half the price
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PCfM4s

[mossy venture]

There's a 6600xt for $310 rn after $20 Mir, I would do that if you're fine with spending the extra. It's a good bit of a jump in perf

[restive halo]

GPU deal is over

[fossil cedar]

No it's not

Unless you meant to reply to gorf

[restive halo]

awesome. Sorry I clicked the wrong thing

[fossil cedar]

No worries

[restive halo]

@fossil cedarThank you

[fossil cedar]

You're welcome

[drowsy zodiac]

what’s better 2060 or 6600

[mossy venture]

6600

6600 is similar to a 2060 super

[drowsy zodiac]

okay cuz the 2060 i was going to buy sold out

so looking for a second option

[mossy venture]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/nxWzK8/powercolor-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-hellhound-video-card-axrx-6600-8gbd6-3dhl

[drowsy zodiac]

what about these import and duty fees ? will the amazon deposit cover them or no?

[mossy venture]

what do you mean

[drowsy zodiac]

i’ll show you

[mossy venture]

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07NXYT866?tag=pcp0f-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 what about on this

[drowsy zodiac]

nope

thank you!

is that decent atleast?

[mossy venture]

yeah ig, considering the next cheapest 6600 is from a site i havent heard of and is 390

[drowsy zodiac]

even with the single fan or that don’t matter?

[mossy venture]

it might be loud

[potent portal]

2060 super can do 1080p high settings at high fps pretty easy

[mossy venture]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/2H7p99/evga-geforce-rtx-2060-6-gb-ko-ultra-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-2068-kr could check this

[drowsy zodiac]

57$ import fees

sadly

[drowsy zodiac]

this one will have to work i guess thanks a lot for finding that!

i’m going to wait a bit and see if they get the one i was looking at back in stock

if not then this will do

[mossy venture]

the ventus is a worse model

[drowsy zodiac]

oh that’s what i was looking at lol

[mossy venture]

i know

[drowsy zodiac]

oh you remember?

[mossy venture]

ye

[fossil cedar]

Try this one for a few $ more
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/gJTp99/sapphire-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-pulse-video-card-11310-01-20g

[late fjord]

Is there any real benefit to this model having the extra 6pin. When none of the other models I've seen have it

Is it just for better power efficiency or does this card have a higher draw then other 6650xts?

[potent portal]

Probably has a higher power limit

Or it's for stability

[late fjord]

Either way still a good deal lol.

[fossil cedar]

Yeah 370 is a steal for a 6650xt

[potent portal]

You could safely set the limit to 300W and still be completely within spec on the power delivery with that

[fossil cedar]

Ehh actually

[potent portal]

Cooling that will be an issue obv

[fossil cedar]

6600xt's are 330 atm would just get that instead

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DgFbt6/asrock-radeon-rx-6600-xt-8-gb-challenger-d-oc-video-card-rx6600xt-cld-8go

What a deal dayum

[potent portal]

Yeah 6600 XT has been the same price as the much worse 3060

[fossil cedar]

That looks like 3050 price

[empty pollen]

maybe he meant 3050

[fossil cedar]

Probably

Although woah you can get a 3050 zotac for 300 bang on :o

[late fjord]

If the 3050 went for like 200 it would be a great option lol.

[empty pollen]

zotac 🤢

[fossil cedar]

Zotacs fine

[empty pollen]

somehow i see those coolers and i dunno

[drowsy zodiac]

this is better then the 2060?

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[drowsy zodiac]

large difference ?

[fossil cedar]

It's closer to a 3060

[late fjord]

6600 is better than even the 12gb 2060 variant too from what I've seen

[empty pollen]

i hate how time is slower when you are waiting for something

.<

[drowsy zodiac]

okay yeah i’ll get the 6600

[late fjord]

What do you have now

[drowsy zodiac]

nothing lol

it’s a first build

[cyan ravine]

6600 is good

[late fjord]

Ah. Then yes great value to performance card

[drowsy zodiac]

perfect does it have a program like geforce experience?

expect radeon

or no?

[late fjord]

Yeah amd adrenaline software

[drowsy zodiac]

oh okay

yeah ima go with that card if it’s better

i’m trying to keep it somewhat budget friendly

right now i’m looking at about 1300$

[upper oriole]

if planning to stream/game on a new pc is the ryzen 5800x3d better to pick from the 5800x or5900x?

will pair with a 3080ti

[empty pollen]

those are quite the cpus for gaming/streaming, if you go amd 5600x (5600 as well) is more than enough and cheaper, and intel 12400f is cheaper as well and more than capable for gaming/streaming

[late fjord]

It would be wiser to go intel because you will still have an upgrade path. Where as amd this is it for am4

[fossil cedar]

If you don't already have an am4 motherboard just go for the intel 12700(f) and a b660 like the msi bazooka

[empty pollen]

if its a new pc the guys around here can help you to get the best bang for your buck if you help us with your budget

[fossil cedar]

Also i would just get a 3080 12gb, very close to 3080 ti and a lot cheaper

[upper oriole]

my budget it around 2500

[empty pollen]

us?

[fossil cedar]

The aorus one is only 800$ rn if you're in the us
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16814932505
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SBQCX14/

[empty pollen]

pato is the master sensei around here for builds 😄 you came to the right place

[potent portal]

Engineers have said there will be more on AM4

[fossil cedar]

That could well be just ryzen 3 cpus tho

[potent portal]

No one really knows so that's possible, but there will be more nonetheless

[late fjord]

Yeah I thought they were done with the "flagship" cpus on am4.

[potent portal]

Yeah they're pushing the socket limits for the high end stuff already

[empty pollen]

well am4 isnt dead but dont expect new cpus/architectures on them... maybe some rework on the existing dies

at least thats what i think

[potent portal]

Maybe a refresh on the new node

[empty pollen]

or 3d cache on the rest of the 5000 lineup

[potent portal]

So they don't need to buy more of the more expensive older node

[potent portal]

They teased it on the 5950X and that would be blazing hot so I doubt it.
They'd have to redesign the 3D cache to put it on 6 core CCDs.

[empty pollen]

ofc, i mean like an updated version of the 3d cache, something more efficient

down the line

[late fjord]

I already got my eyes set on am5 😂 but I probably should wait til gen 2 of that since I just got a 5800x last year.

[mossy venture]

I think 6000 series apus will have desktop versions

[empty pollen]

thing is, dont go amd, go 12700f and a b660 bazooka, cheaper and better

[mossy venture]

But that's all I'm expecting for am4

[potent portal]

Are those based on user submissions? UBM does that

[empty pollen]

and 3080ti not worth over the 3080 12gigs rn

[undone saddle]

Doesnt say

[empty pollen]

$200-300 more for about 3% upgrade on the ti

[potent portal]

If they can't cite their source the data is automatically invalid

Half of all statistics are made up on the spot after all

[undone saddle]

I doubted their site after this

Is that a broken 3090ti lol

[potent portal]

I can believe brokenpunk '77 having issues with new cards

[undone saddle]

This more realistic

Resident evil village

[fossil cedar]

Lol that's horribly inaccurate

[undone saddle]

Would of been better with 1% , max and avg

[fossil cedar]

I reckon random number generator like ubm

[desert gulch]

3080ti over a 3080 12 is maybe 5-7% faster at best

but it totally depends on models and clocks ofc

[fossil cedar]

3080 10gb ->3080 12gb +5% -> 3080ti/ 3090 +5%

[potent portal]

Their "eFPS" is based entirely on user submitted data. You can easily skew results with fake submissions. I think that's worse than RNG.

[desert gulch]

its atleast better than some things lol

look at nzxt's fps "estimator" for all their stuff on their site 💀

[potent portal]

If you look at raw data yeah

[undone saddle]

Oc on 3080 is pretty good too saw some vid yesterday testing on cod vanguard

From avg 79 to 108

[fossil cedar]

Lol true

[earnest olive]

...with what, ln2?

nobody is dailying a 37% overclock on a 3080 with ambient cooling

looks like different parts of the game

[empty pollen]

imagine comparing fps on two different maps

[ornate condor]

6ghz https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-i7-13700k-has-been-overclocked-to-6-ghz-allegedly-scores-983-points-in-cpu-z-st-test

[empty pollen]

wasnt a ks overclocked to 6.9 on ltt recently?

[potent portal]

No?

They don't do a lot of LN2

[runic spruce]

6ghz like a regular oc and no ln2?

Nvm

[potent portal]

I don't think that's possible without some sort of sub-ambient cooling

[runic spruce]

Dang only at 1.412 volts

Wait it was

Nvm

Said post test was 37c

[potent portal]

5.7 is more like what you'd get on a custom loop

With a really good sample

[runic spruce]

Got near 16k in cb 23

[crystal berry]

what s better

[potent portal]

12400 by a lot

[crystal berry]

should l get 12400f with gtx 1660 super

or vga msi rtx 3060ti ventus 2x 8g ocv1 lhr with i3 12100f

[potent portal]

It depends on what you play, but I'd get a stronger GPU over a CPU

[fossil cedar]

3060 ti 12100f any day

[crystal berry]

u sure pato el gato l might edit sometimes

its one left should l get it

with rx 6600 l can

rx 6600 with i5 12400f

[potent portal]

Edit what? Video? That's GPU accelerated

[crystal berry]

sometimes video moslty gaming

sonetimes editing

what now

rx 6600 plus 12400f r

vga msi rtx 3060ti ventus 2x 8g

with 12100f

[potent portal]

I'd still get the 3060 ti

Or a 6600 XT if you can find one

[fossil cedar]

I looked for them 6600xt was basically non existent on the site

[crystal berry]

ight thanks

there is one

xt

for 450 r sum

but idk

[analog pulsar]

how much more performace from 3080 to 6900xt

[runic spruce]

Depends but usually like 8-10% better on the 6900 xt

[analog pulsar]

okay if 6900xt is $100 more then would you spend $100 over 3080

[cyan ravine]

I would if it was gaming

[willow quest]

I’m trying to install my pump onto my cpu but the standoffs are not long enough

[stoic island]

Correct back plate on?

Also, correct bracket and screws?

[willow quest]

I was able to get it secured

I don’t know what the problem was because my bracket had the standoffs in

I had to apply pressure on both ends to keep it firm

Also I don’t know where to install my fan hub

[runic spruce]

Depends

But isn’t there a 6900 xt for 700 rn

[analog pulsar]

im not looking at building a pc im looking at prebuilt

[runic spruce]

#tech-deals message

Oh

If the specs r better then yea, but u might run into some issues with game optimization for amd

But that should be like a couple of games

Besides that it should be fine

[willow quest]

Does anyone know where I install the fan hub in a 4000x case

[runic spruce]

The back side

[willow quest]

😐

[runic spruce]

Sorry

[willow quest]

Idk where LOL

I’m lost

[stoic island]

Most fan hubs just doesn't care

[cyan ravine]

Wherever you feel is right

[runic spruce]

That’s what I meant lol

[stoic island]

Magnets or tape or something like that is all they usually need

[analog pulsar]

[willow quest]

Is there a place I’m supposed to screw it into?

[cyan ravine]

Stick it on the glass on the front if you want to show off ur fan control power

[willow quest]

Cuz I don’t see any holes on my fan hub

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[runic spruce]

It’s tape isn’t it?

[willow quest]

I’m confused

[cyan ravine]

Most likely because it's not intended to be mounted

[runic spruce]

There should be a price of tape on the back of the hub

[cyan ravine]

Just put it somewhere

[stoic island]

They usually don't use screws

Tape or magnet probably

You just slap it on

[runic spruce]

I put mine where an ssd was suppose to go

[stoic island]

There's no dedicated mounting

[cyan ravine]

I stuck mine next to the psu

Sometimes bury it in cables

It really doesn't matter lol

[runic spruce]

That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard, putting it on the back of the mobo pc. Is far superior

Jk
