I'd do 225 if i were selling to a friend
Just depends on how good of a friend lmao
broken lake
not really a friend just someone I have spoken to more than once
obsidian wigeon
then i would just do market price
which tends to be around 300
1080ti still pretty strong
broken lake
I just realized that after I take what I need out of this pc I will still have a fully functioning pc
cyan ravine
Yup. Lol
broken lake
so I will have 2 functioning pcs after all my stuff comes
cyan ravine
As I said, was it yesterday? Better to take a gpu out
You can also take 2 ram sticks out
broken lake
yea I am taking 2 ram one gpu and my m.2
that is all I am taking
which leaves 2 ram 1 gpu and a hard drive
broken lake
no
cyan ravine
Your 1080ti is a 120 aio one isn't it?
broken lake
the gpus are just air cooled
potent portal
Inb4 1200W transients
cyan ravine
Oh
obsidian wigeon
lol
cyan ravine
When I googled your alienware it has 3 aio's
obsidian wigeon
if it does then imma cry
broken lake
just the one for the 7980xe
potent portal
You were doing VR right foxy? If so you might have a real reason to get a 4080
broken lake
I can send you a pic of it
upbeat forum
That poor 7980xe
broken lake
3 fans total
1 120 aio
and I just put new thermal paste on it for the first time since 2015
cyan ravine
I genuinely wonder if the bottlenecks of that alienware would mean the sff pc just feels inherently better
broken lake
I feel like the sff is just better is it not?
potent portal
I loved how Alienware managed to get a 12900k to perform below a 12700k because of thermal throttling, a real feat of engineering right there.
broken lake
I would assume so just based on the amount of threads and cores
pulsar turret
Quick question is this the right chat to ask for help for pc parts because I’m new and I have a 5700x🙈
broken lake
yea
pulsar turret
Alright do you think you can help I was kept being told to build my own pc by ppl that “would help me” but when I the cpu no1 wanted to help
And since I’m new I’m completely lost because YouTube was throwing me all over the place ik some stuff but 😓
broken lake
I probably cannot help but there are plenty of people in here that would be glad to help you
I am also new and I was helped to figure out what I needed to buy and was told what was good/bad
cyan ravine
And since I’m new I’m completely lost because YouTube was throwing me all over t...
Please explain the problem, don't ask to ask
Also full stops please
Even for me that's difficult to interpret
pulsar turret
Uh I don’t know anything all I have is ryzen 5700x but I don’t know what is compatible or what I need:/
cyan ravine
So you only have the cpu?
pulsar turret
Yeah pretty much
cyan ravine
Haven't bought anything else ok
What's your budget? Is the cpu still within a return window?
Are you only playing games? What's the pc for?
pulsar turret
Uh yeah
cyan ravine
Yes to which question lol
cyan ravine
Ok good, how much did you spend on it
broken lake
I remember the first time I came in here asking about a pc build I had a 5950x and a 3090 on the list lol
cyan ravine
260 ok, that's actually not that bad
pulsar turret
Lol
cyan ravine
Considering the circumstances though, it's probably wise to take it back for a refund but I'll see if we can use it
pulsar turret
nd I thought so because I want a pc that will give good fps on any game not just a certain one
cyan ravine
What's your budget? Gaming pc? Or more than games?
pulsar turret
Nd won’t break down fast
pulsar turret
Don’t have one but I rather spend smart than a whole bunch on something ain’t worth it Yk?
cyan ravine
Ok, what monitor, what resolution do you want?
pulsar turret
Monitor I have one but idk if it’s good was gonna plan on getting a better one if needed
cyan ravine
For what I'd suggest, 1080p = 24 inch, 1440p = 27-32 inch, 4K= 33"+
I would appreciate a choice on this one, what do you think you want for a screen size?
pulsar turret
Alright thanks for the help I really appreciate it
cyan ravine
@pulsar turret wifi yes or no
cyan ravine

Yeah
pulsar turret
Don’t matter

Usd?
potent portal
1500 is a strong PC build rn
pulsar turret
Yeah I thought so but idk so🤷♂️
cyan ravine
pulsar turret
This my first pc want to make it worth it
potent portal
You can totally keep the 5700X in that budget, you could have done worse. It's just that Intel is slightly better price right now.
mossy venture
Pro vdh wifi
B550
Would want a bit better heatsink for it too
Peerless assassin whatever it is would do well
potent portal
5700X is 65W innit?
cyan ravine
Just note you will need to bios update if you use a 5700x
cyan ravine
5700X is 65W innit?
Yes
potent portal
PA120 is overkill still
cyan ravine
Ak400
mossy venture
PA120 is overkill still
Eh, what's cheaper that's enough?
cyan ravine
Probably not anything if you need dual tower
mossy venture
Also, if you want to spend more, gf1 850, 6800xt, g360a
G27q
I don't feel like opening pcp rn
But 6800xt gaming z trio is $635 rn
Great price
pulsar turret
I’m so lost rn😕
mossy venture
Model names
potent portal
Hmm gray pa120 is only $41, that's not bad
mossy venture
Gf1 850 is a psu, 6800xt gaming z trio is a gpu, g360a is a case
pulsar turret
But o yeah I was gonging to get the 6700 but idk anything so
mossy venture
G27q is a monitor
pulsar turret
So I should get the 6800?
mossy venture
But o yeah I was gonging to get the 6700 but idk anything so
Just depends on how much you want to spend
$1500 gets you the 6800xt
As in, a $1500 build
To specify, 6800xt not 6800
6800 not worth atm
pulsar turret
Oh ok
mossy venture
B550 pro vdh wifi
cyan ravine
I don't actually know b450 boards
potent portal
Ds3h b450 ok for a 65w?
No it needs flashback
mossy venture
B550 pro vdh wifi
Comes with wifi, and is a decent mobo
potent portal
One with flashback button?
Yes, so you don't need a 2000 or 3000 CPU to flash with
cyan ravine
He can take it somewhere to get it flashed instead of overspending if that's an option
mossy venture
Felixxxx

cyan ravine
B550 pro vdh wifi
I can't find it
mossy venture
Change case maybe
potent portal
They'll charge $100 minimum to flash bios though, it's basically a full PC build
potent portal
They did say up to 2k for budget so there's some flex there if it's worth it
mossy venture
Looks good
cyan ravine
119 isn't bad
I started scrolling too fast i guess, I missed it 
@pulsar turret have a look at this list too
cyan ravine
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nxzV2m
There's also the first list I did here if you want to stick to a 24 inch monitor
potent portal
Looks good to me too, under 2k including a great monitor
mossy venture
Meh, can still spend more for 1080p
cyan ravine
Can but meh
mossy venture
6700xt, better case
cyan ravine
I would do 1440p with 6700xt
potent portal
Depends on the person
And the game
mossy venture
Mm
Rtx do be such a meme though
I couldn't even hit a constant 60fps in cold war zombies with it on low
cyan ravine
Cyberpunk 1080p ok I'll admit to that one needing a 3080+ 
pulsar turret
Wow would’ve took me a yr to find all tht out THANKS
cyan ravine
They'll charge $100 minimum to flash bios though, it's basically a full PC build
Also where are they charging 100? I spent $20 to get my X570 board updated to run a 5900X
pulsar turret
Quick question is my 24inch aog monitor garb if so to sell it?
cyan ravine
Use it as a secondary screen
Put discord or Spotify, memes on repeat
Have that running while you grab the headshots and run any game imaginable
pulsar turret
So is this set up 1440 sorry I’m stupid😓🙈
potent portal
I like to have Netflix or whatever running with discord open on second monitor while I play
potent portal
So is this set up 1440 sorry I’m stupid😓🙈
If you get the monitor they recommended yes
pulsar turret
Ok I will definitely get it thank you🙏🤎

just not a gpu, ram, or ssd

I was going to order some parts but idk if I should rn wanted to check with the pros

I was down sizing for college and I am leaving on the 27th so I had to do it fast

Because it says something is incompatible or something and ik if something is its bad but🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ I’ll just wait to see what they say
cyan ravine

64 is overkill for anything that isn't serious work
Say big rendering or massive simulations
broken lake
just wondering because I have 64 now and didn't know if I was gonna lose performance or not
broken lake
indeed
so I will still have 32 in both after I split it
just don't know the speed so I don't know if I should buy newer stuff later or not

The board has a bios flash button. You can do what it needs when you build it and it'll be fine
pulsar turret
Ooo ok sorry for buggin just wanted to make sure better to b safe than srry thankz again
cyan ravine
Perfectly valid question don't worry about it 👍
frank locust
just make sure you have an AM4 motherboard
frigid night
so I will still have 32 in both after I split it
32gb is a good spot for gaming. 64gb of ram is gonna be slower.
cyan ravine
@pulsar turret make sure you grab that specific motherboard we said. Not every board has a bios flash button so not every board is automatically compatible with a 5700X
pale shore
And that fans are Lian li sl120???
pulsar turret
Yeah I put every part there in my cart ima order everything tmw thank you for the heads up
cyan ravine
Np
Just making sure lol
Who recommended you that 5700X btw?
It's a decent choice but curious
pulsar turret
A friend tht was going to help me with my build but never did left me on my own😓

Lol
frank locust
What mobo did you reccomend
cyan ravine
Well if he knows what a 5700X is he might be a bit shocked to see a 6900XT
pulsar turret
Yeah ik that’s a good one but that’s pretty much all ik😅
frigid night
Make his jaw drop
frank locust
would you guys say going from a 2600x to a 5800x would be a good upgrade
pulsar turret
Ooo damn lol but for tht wouldn’t I have to upgrade other stuff?
cyan ravine
would you guys say going from a 2600x to a 5800x would be a good upgrade
5700X is basically a 5800X but less power
5600X goes on sale regularly and is worth it if you find it cheap
pulsar turret
Ignore crappy look atm
That looks good ion rlly like all the rgb tbh

Yes, psu probably

Its supposed to be white, but those went bad so.. there is all new fans/aio/extensions and whatnot. I had to rma the gpu though so I'm waiting for that to come back before I take my good pics.
frank locust
I don’t think you have enough cooling
pulsar turret
Jealous😅
frigid night
I don’t think you have enough cooling
Not at all.
There are actually 13 fans in that pic
Only 3 of them aren't visible.
frigid night
My build now only has 10.
frank locust
My CPU temp somehow stays relatively low though
frank locust
My build now only has 10.
what would you say peak temps are for gaming
frigid night
My cpu temps are phenomenal. 40c under gaming load.
cyan ravine
I've fit 22 into my o11 evo before
frank locust
mines 40 when my computer is idling
frigid night
You got amd?
frank locust
Yeah
frigid night
Yeah makes sense.
cyan ravine
Use an aio on a 5800x
pulsar turret
Curious so how many fans can you put? and is it better with more?
cyan ravine
Best fan layouts often don't use all the spots for a fan in a case
cyan ravine
Also it wouldn’t fit inside my case
Rip. 5800x is a hot boi
cyan ravine
Deepcool ak620 beats anything noctua could do for like 1/3 the price
frigid night
I may need to invest in noctua
Nah. Arctic p12
frank locust
I already invested my money into cooler master
cyan ravine
Arctic p12 op pls nerf
frank locust
I definitely need new case fans
I’m still using some old Corsair fans
They’re terrible
frank locust
Is it bad that my fan isn’t on there
upbeat forum
that's twice I've seen this list today
cyan ravine
Corsair not known for good fans so in a way yes but also no
Arctic p12 is a goat of a fan
frank locust
It’s just that
My case is like
Kinda small
I only have room for one stack of fans

Yeah corsair is def on the avoid list there.

Hello again Guys and Gals my question today is Can i just install any nvme into my motherboard in the second slot. i have one nvme installed already. its only 1 tb???
fossil cedar
Yeah you can use all of your nvme slots
steady canyon
does it matter brand or speed or anything?
cyan ravine
As long as it's m key really
You should try to match the pcie gen spec of the mobo though
So if you look in the manual, it might say your board only has pcie gen 3 nvme slots? Meaning using anything better than a gen 3 won't give the full speed
But you can use anything that can up to that speed without a problem
steady canyon
oh ok thnk u
cyan ravine
oh ok thnk u
Team MP33 or Silicon Power A60 are both super cheap nvme's that are good for extra storage

I am, but is it worth it.
cyan ravine
To me it seems decent
A tier psu, a case that I personally like a lot and am still using
6 fans are nice even if it's corsair (better half of their fan range tho)
Only catch with the case though is it's certainly short. It'll struggle to fit 3 fan cards

Stupid question but you guys think i could clean my cpu heatsink by just running...
You could yeah.. but I don't see why it would be so dirty that you'd need to do that vs blasting it with compressed air.

You could yeah.. but I don't see why it would be so dirty that you'd need to do ...
The only real harm I could see it doing is possibly rusting, but I don't know because I've never done that.

frigid night
Ive tried the compressed air and theres just dust thats like sticking inbetween ...
Do you have a blow dryer?

I would rinse it and blow dry it, then let it dry beyond that.
then I would make sure to give it a blast of air possibly once every couple weeks to avoid having to take it out and rinse it again...

Yeah over the pandemic i got very lazy its been about a year or two since i last cleaned it.

I personally give my PC a blast once a week as well as vacuum my dust filters.

frigid night
Good Idea. Your CPU will thank you.
frozen axle
Yeah ill actually upkeep it this time…
frigid night
Yeah ill actually upkeep it this time…
but yeah, just blow dry it pretty good just to get most the excess water off it to be on the safe side.
or if you have the patience, just blow dry it until it's completely dry.

the 35 dollar one prolly better lol
boreal notch
There is a pretty nice $20 one but it's missing the glass
rich void
Is the Nzxt h510 atx
The h510 is really bad. It has very little airflow. If you're getting a new case I'd get something better
boreal notch
There is a pretty nice $20 one but it's missing the glass
It says the glass is still sold at micro center
It's lian li mid tower atx

are you able to drive and pickup something off fb market?
just asking bc lots of people asking for help here often cant
boreal notch
I can

Which lian LI specifically?
viral ore
feel free to link it, but its hard to complain for 20 dollars
whatever it is, its for sure better than a q300l lol

Which lian LI specifically?
Lancool 205

Lancool 205
Solid front panel?
boreal notch
It's glass and it doesn't have it
rich void
It's glass and it doesn't have it
The front is missing or the side?
viral ore
you should be able to get a mesh replacement
rich void
You can get the side panels for about 15 at MC
rich void
Swapping for a mesh front would be nice, but if it has a front panel you could roll with it if it's hard to find/pricey
No worries
boreal notch
I reached out
boreal notch
Well I am 3rd in line so I'm checking other cases and I found a $30 but it's nzxt
It doesn't say what model or if it's atx
rich void
If it's nzxt with a solid front the airflow is gonna be really bad
boreal notch
Looks like it
rich void
Yeah, low power components should be fine, but if someone's getting a new case ideally they get something better

I just got a 12700f and I have rx 6900 xt
rich void
I just got a 12700f and I have rx 6900 xt
Would you be able to swing getting a brand new good case? Would make sense imo for those parts
Like a p500a, lian LI lancool 2 mesh (or lancool 3), etc
Something that'll let those components breathe
boreal notch
I was just hoping to get a case as soon as possible
boreal notch
Almost an hour away
earnest olive
cases are optional components
rich void
Almost an hour away
So you could get a lancool II mesh in circa two hours 😆
earnest olive
you can use a pc without a case while you wait for shipping
behold my beautiful working pc
rich void
I feel like some of those cables must have hit that CPU fan at some point
earnest olive
they absolutely have
but only when I'm messing with it
if I just leave it it's fine
boreal notch
Could I leave my psu outside the case and somehow cram the motherboard in?
earnest olive
might as well just do this
boreal notch
You mean what you have?
earnest olive
yeah
that PC has been running like that for more than a year
nothing wrong with it
rate my not scuffed at all setup
boreal notch
What about the gpu stability?
earnest olive
it's fine
just don't punch it
lol
gravity + the pcie slot lock keeps it down in the slot
rich void
Well if it's standing like that it won't be sagging like it would in a case with a horizontal mount
earnest olive
like I said, it's been running like this problem free for more than a year
rich void
So probably more stable than GPUs in some people's cases
earnest olive
I even blast the gpus with my leaf blower for cleaning while they're like this
and it's fine
earnest olive
So probably more stable than GPUs in some people's cases
okay definitely not this lol
you can wiggle them around in the slot
doesn't have any negative consequences though
boreal notch
It seems sketchy as all hell but I guess it works
earnest olive
they just wiggle
rich void
you can wiggle them around in the slot
Ah, fair. I haven't really tried that, but I have seen some really saggy gpus

do you think miners with massive 10000 GPU setups are buying 10000 cases?
boreal notch
No?
rich void
do you think miners with massive 10000 GPU setups are buying 10000 cases?
They do mount them to frames though, do those not stabilize at all?
earnest olive
same idea then
if it's reliable enough for them for years you can use it for 2 days
earnest olive
They do mount them to frames though, do those not stabilize at all?
some of them do yeah
they aren't really necessary though
boreal notch
So what new case should I buy?
earnest olive
choose something you like aesthetically and check here if it's a decent case or not
it's your pc after all
boreal notch
Well I really don't have any money rn but probably under $170
earnest olive
$170 is a good budget for a case
rich void
So what new case should I buy?
P500a, lancool II mesh, lancool iii, uhh there are some other comparable cases as well
boreal notch
This good?
rich void
This good?
Yeah
They have a new version (lancool iii) but it's circa $30 more
The II is a really good case
boreal notch
So can I just leave my case flat and rest the motherboard in there for a little extra protection?

if you've a costco membership that is, or can get one. Not quite sure how those work

it is very much worth it

Maybe I should've clarified,

I mean, I was under the impression that a gpu and monitor that can support it's max fps go hand in hand

over the suggestion you made I would absolutely do it

i upgraded her laptop from a hard drive to an ssd

on hwinfo there are a lot of CPU temps. Which one should I be looking out for?
obsidian wigeon
usually package temp
willow quest
I was gaming and I just started freezing out of nowhere
it would happen for a second then go back to playing normally
it kept happening over and over
obsidian wigeon
could be that the cpu is thermal throttling
willow quest
How would I fix that
obsidian wigeon
cleaning
earnest olive
i made sure everything in the case is connected
try reseating the HD AUDIO header
if it doesn't work, try the rear audio ports
could be that your case has defective front audio
obsidian wigeon
okay, what's your specs?
willow quest
ryzen 9 5900x, radeon rx 6800 xt, 32 gb 3600mhz
obsidian wigeon
if possible, what cooler and case
and what temp the cpu was on when the freezes happened?
willow quest
and what temp the cpu was on when the freezes happened?
Idk the exact temp since I did not have hwinfo running in the background while playing
I will run my game and see what happens
obsidian wigeon
Okay
willow quest
there are many CPU temps, I should just be looking at the package right?
willow quest
willow quest
look into core temp
whelp i played for a bit and my average temp was 52 degrees
obsidian wigeon
definitely not cpu issue then
willow quest
but my highest was 75
obsidian wigeon
have you enabled xmp?
willow quest
yeah for memory
obsidian wigeon
hmm
willow quest
so the highest being 75 degrees isnt a problem?
willow quest
ah ok
willow quest
so my radeon adrenaline software is telling me my current temp is 72 degrees
im guessing thats something different than core temps
also im at the latest update rn for the software
obsidian wigeon
idk sometimes wonky issues can happen
but it's almost always software anyway, not something this wacky
willow quest
72c is fine for gpu
it was for CPU
earnest olive
75c is fine on cpu

up to 90c is fine for ryzen cpu

theres only a mic jack and a headset jack and each pops up as their respective thing but i have it set to where they tie together yet it wont tie thim together

and when i go into my settings to veiw the devices the speakers dissapear

I think you specifically need a combined jack on a hardware level to combine them
I might be wrong on that one
if both are coming up you might be able to use a y splitter to combine them

I'm confused. If you have both jacks on mobo and both jacks on headset, why do you need to tie them together?

combined jack on headset, separate jacks on pc it sounds like
