Oh pog then yeah that

#

Or steel legend m if you had to cut costs ig

#

12400f is 180$ rn

#

Sadly

#

I got a month til then

desert gulch
#

Oh then don't even really bother looking at parts a month out

#

To be exact the first

#

Pricing changes will happen by then easily

#

That's $300

#

Yeah 12100f ig

little osprey
desert gulch
#

Other than USB issues, I can't really see a reason

little osprey
#

Its a cpu socket problem

desert gulch
#

Lemme guess, pulled CPU out of socket with cooler and bent pin?

little osprey
#

Yes that was like 4 months ago

#

lmao

mossy venture
#

They did this somehow

little osprey
#

Stop shaming me

#

Smh

desert gulch
#

Is that thermal paste?

little osprey
desert gulch
#

It's kinda a combination of how the socket is designed but also a hint of rtfm

little osprey

Rtfm?

1300$ is also a bit high for a 3060ti prebuilt, would like 1200$ but prices are just not great rn for whatever reason, no actual sales

#

how much extra power should my psu be over my components? expected wattage on my pcpp list is 650w, and i have a 750w gold psu, do i need to upgrade?

stoic island
#

Take a look at actual reviews for a better sense of actual power draw whenever possible

#

In general, should be fine assuming PSU is good and not sensitive to tripping

high yew
#

if i send build can you let me know if i need an upgrade?

stoic island
#

Sure

high yew
#

upgraded from a 3060ti to a 6800xt

stoic island
#

You should be okay but might want to be careful with the PSU extensions

high yew
#

and if i have to upgrade i can work towards getting a 850w sooner than later

stoic island
high yew
stoic island
#

Says 18awg in the description

high yew
#

am i gonna be fine with these? or just use the regular psu cables?

stoic island
#

Tbh 6800xt doesn't spike that badly and won't draw that much but keep it in mind for next time you're buying extensions, should be fine now, but keep it in mind

high yew
#

my buddy wants to grab some extensions so i'll maybe sell these to him. ill look for 16awg next time around when i buy extensions. thankyou

#

since i have you here, if you don't mind me asking. how would one go about wiping the nvidia driver from their computer

stoic island
#

?ddu

#

Damn

#

!ddu

still roostBOT
stoic island
#

There we go

#

Pato made a nice guide

high yew
#

awesome, thanks. i read a review on the 68xt that mentioned that when he plugged is gpu in and turned his pc on, there was no video coming from the card. thankfully he had integrated graphics so he could install the drivers. is that gonna happen to me or why did it happen in the first place?

#

i'd like to assume all cards are set on a driver version, and then you update them when you install said software for said gpu, but wondering why his card did that. ill try and find the review

stoic island
#

GPUs don't come installed with drivers, drivers are like OS side, taking a GPU from a computer to another doesn't mean it keeps the drivers

high yew
#

okay gotcha, so should be like a plug in and update driver typa thing then. alright.

should i use control panel to uninstall the drivers before i use ddu? or just use ddu to begin with? i'm assuming i would ddu my nvidia card before i put my amd card so it clears all the nvidia drivers, however i could be wrong. let me know please

stoic island
#

Doesn't really matter, just follow the guide and when downloading new drivers use the new card

high yew

stoic island
#

You'll want pcie 4.0, there can be weird issues if you use a 3.0 riser where you have to set it to 3.0 in bios first

frank stirrup
#

you might need the mounting kit for for your case as well

stoic island
stoic island
frank stirrup
#

are 4.0 risers better now? i rember em being a lil problematic a while back

stoic island
#

They were just really hard to find (actual pcie 4.0 risers) at one point

#

Dunno if there's problematic ones now

high yew
#

i think i might just get a lil stand off amazon for like $20 so my gpu doesn't sag. i'd love to mount it horizontally lil expensive for me right now lol

stoic island
#

Legos are usually readily available

frank stirrup
#

yep

#

and work well

stoic island
#

Anything can work as a stand in general

#

Book, cardboard, wood, a fan, Legos, whatever

#

Anything that can support a bit of weight

frank stirrup
#

ive seen chopsticks be used

high yew
#

LMFAO

#

lego's wouldn't be a bad idea tbh

icy crater
#

Does anyone know if any pc part will wear down slowly over time even without use?

#

I'm thinking of buying parts I see for sale instead of buying everything at once. I was wondering if like say I bought case fans and I let it sit a year will it still last the same time if I put them in right away?

#

Hello!

#

I need some advice with building my first gaming setup

mossy venture
analog pulsar
dim forge
#

Colombia, 3.200.000COP / 750usd

#

been thinking about a ryzen gpu since a dedicated seems out of range (1650 is around 250usd and I need to buy a monitor)

fossil cedar
analog pulsar
#

@fossil cedar can I dm you

cyan ravine
#

You can also do o11 air mini if that saves a few, that one comes with fans too

#

Esp. with an ak620 that should be enough fans for it, maybe a couple extra P14's for the gpu

dim forge
#

this is what I currently have

-Ryzen 5 5600g (170usd)
-GIGABYTE/B450M AORUS ELITE.Mic.CROSS.A.V.R.4DR4.RY (110usd)
-Cougar GEX 650W 80+Gold (80usd)
-16 GB Patriot Viper Steel 3200mhz (8x2) (70usd)
-500gb SSD Crucial MX500 (60usd)

still not sure about the box/monitor, these are my monitor options

22" Samsung slim monitor (IPS/75hz) (145usd)
22" LG slim monitor (IPS/75hz) (130usd)

Without the box, the total goes around 630-650usd, which leaves me 100usd more or less to buy the box and maybe a 1tb ssd.

any recommendation?

#

Also idk if I should wait for 7000g series to come out tho

empty pollen
#

not on that budget im afraid

#

7000 series seems very expensive

#

also not sure if the g series will be a thing, 7000 cpus will come with igpu as default

jokes aside, you can talk freely about your setup here, some of us can help if not learn more with/about your setup after all

Thank youu, I'm excited to finally have my own setup, been playing/working on a laptop and it's been good for awhile but I need an upgrade

I assume you're gaming?@dim forge

If you are that 6600 will kick any integrated gpus ass

6600 OP

#

Can confirm

empty pollen
#

750ti beats it, change my mind

fossil cedar
dim forge
fossil cedar
#

Coding is very light, signal and data same thing

#

3d modelling isn't gonna be the best but it will run just fine and it's a 750$ setup so what do you expect

#

If you can tho, the extra ~45$ for the 12100 is worth it

analog pulsar
#

how much can i get for a used M27Q and G34WQC

fossil cedar
#

Umm m27q maybe 240$ g34wqc maybe 350$ these are just rough guesses tho

analog pulsar
#

okay

#

how much for NZXT mic and NZXT mouse pad and razer huntsman TE and razer viper ultimate

stoic island
#

...

#

rvu is the only good part of that

analog pulsar
stoic island
#

for what

#

keyboard mouse mic and mousepad?

#

Keychron K8 Pro Razer viper ultimate fifine k669 Odin Infinity
120$ + 70$ + 30$ + 30$ = 250$ or so

analog pulsar
stoic island
#

dunno, who knows what people wants to pay for that

empty pollen
#

best bet is to research on your local fb marketplace, you could start from there

modest bone
desert gulch
#

Intel motherboard

empty pollen
#

660 is for intel 12th gen cpuis

desert gulch
#

Grab a 12400f

empty pollen
#

yeah everything else seems ok

stoic island
#

I mean g6 650w is the same price so I'd do that instead of g5

#

and would personally do mp33 1tb whenever possible if it fits in the budget

empty pollen
#

plus you can go a msi b660m-a mobo... a bit better than the asrock one

desert gulch
#

Steel legend is great for the monies

#

But yeah 32gb and only 500gb of storage kinda a weirder pairing

empty pollen
#

yeah im not against it, just the msi is a bit better ๐Ÿ˜›

#

the 500gb drive yeah, kinda small unless you have an hdd already

#

man all those ddr5 mobos are kinda expensive

#

trying to fit that ddr5 kit with a good mobo to make any sense

General question. My slim predator w/1070 is getting a bit old (~5yr). I don't think it can hold a newer vid card due to space and power issues. I would like to look for a long term solution, but also wondering if I should wait until the next gen comes out so the 30's aren't the same $$ as the rest of the system

fossil cedar
empty pollen
stoic island
#

The laptop?

stray stone
#

Costco had something decent, but no customization made it hard to get everything in one box

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

The predator laptop or the desktop?

stray stone
#

That's what I thought

empty pollen
#

you can game with an amd gpu on an intel cpu just fine, in fact 12th gen perform better than the amd counterpart

stray stone
#

You think the DIY will make a comeback?

empty pollen
#

even with an amd gpu

stoic island

#

I built my last....4?

#

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

building your own desktop has remained popular

empty pollen
#

we use diy all the time

fossil cedar
# stoic island ???

it was more cost effective to buy prebuilts than diy in the midst of the shortage

stray stone
#

OK. I will have to breeze by here, anandtch and maybe Tom's (if I hate myself) when the next gen comes around

stoic island
empty pollen
#

shuffle was a godsend on the shortage

stoic island
#

Ian cutress did leave anandtech so their future CPU reviews might not be great

stray stone
#

Oh, I know it is possible and popular, but the GPU shortage made it hard to get a good card separately.

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

tom's hardware is nice enough, hub, GN, TPU

stray stone
#

I am guessing that changed with bitcoin crashing

oh, lemme check

#

im almost positive on that 6000c30 kit

stoic island
#

wat

empty pollen
#

but im counting my pennies

stoic island
#

if you're talking about SAM it doesn't really work

fossil cedar
#

^ like a few % at best for more expensive cpu

#

Holy crap

#

Z690 a pro d5 is 145$

empty pollen
#

yup 12400f kick ass

#

really?

#

wat?

stoic island
#

oh that sale still on?

fossil cedar
#

Amz and gamestop

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

nah this variant but last time was like 160$ actually

fossil cedar
#

Stonks

empty pollen
#

only the p one is at that price on pcpp

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

still 195 not that bad on egg for the a pro

stoic island
#

this be ddr5, do you have compatibility filter on? the -p is ddr4

empty pollen
#

oh

#

true, im seeing only the ddr4 variants

#

well.. crap... seems like i cant see it from my isp... i guess

stoic island
#

lolwut

desert gulch
#

It's an omen

#

I think that means you should go ddr4 instead

fossil cedar
empty pollen
#

probably, still the deal was pretty juicy

#

checking on amz

fossil cedar
#

Just press the pcpp link

#

Especially on Amazon it's search sucks

empty pollen
#

well i failed the saving gods

#

at least i have the 12700f on my sis pc to test the mobo and the sticks when they arrive

#

hope those 6000c30 perform good

potent portal
#

DDR5 is weird, primary timings are only good for figuring out what die and bin it is. Secondary timings are where you get most of the performance gains.

empty pollen
#

the "free" drive was the deal for me, like pato said, its like a 160usd ddr5 kit counting the m2

#

cant be that bad a 6000c30 kit... or so i hope

#

2tb, not a fast pcie4 drive but its faster than the pcie3 variants at least ๐Ÿ˜›

#

have to blame forg for those combo ddr5 kits wuuut

cyan ravine
#

Cos he's hunting for it too theri_smirk_apng

mossy venture
#

Mainly because am5 is releasing earlier and I just want to build already

My cats are both war criminals

dim forge
#

is it better to buy each component separate and then assemble them, or buy them in the same store pepe3090

jagged ember
#

just buy them at the same time or as close to the same time as possible

#

if one part is doa you can return it

dim forge
#

also, does i3 10100f support 3200 mhz ram?

empty pollen
#

yeah jsut buy them as close as the same time

#

doesnt matter the store

desert gulch
#

you could use a 3200mhz kit with it on any motherboard, but itd run at 2667mhz unless youre on a z490/590, or more reasonably, a b560

analog pulsar
#

Hello

dim forge
#

so, if I don't want to OC the cpu to support 3200, then, a 12100f is better, right?

Hereโ€™s a video of what happens.

leaden mauve

that doesnt look great lol

icy crater
#

Yeah. :(

leaden mauve
#

Did you just go to turn on the system and suddenly it started having that problem? Didnt randomly shut off while using it or anything weird like that?

icy crater
#

The thing is most of the time I can fix it by turning off power supply holding power button.

#

But now even when I reseat the ram and other cables it doesnt work.

mossy venture
#

What psu is it?

#

Also stop trying to turn it on

#

If its the psu it could make it worse

icy crater
#

It doesnโ€™t randomly shut off I probably had like max 4 crashes in the lifetime of the pc.

#

The psu is a 750 watt 80+ gold coolmaster.

#

MWE gold v2 I think.

mossy venture
#

What model

#

Ah

#

Pretty sure that's a decent model too, on mobile and don't feel like looking through the tier list for it

icy crater
#

Itโ€™s like b tier I think when I last checked it but the model numbers were kinda off.

mossy venture
#

Imo it seems like psu issue

icy crater
#

Yeah idk Iโ€™ve been having this problem for a while but I was always able to turn it on eventually.

#

I guess Iโ€™ll finally do the coolermaster rma.

#

It says it has a 5 year warranty I hope they send me a replacement.

little osprey
#

Anyones estimate on price drops?

obsidian wigeon
#

we'll see 3090ti's below 1k soon

#

the price is dropping hard due to the market being flooded with used gpus

Im talking in general for "old gen"

they won't drop much tbh

Do you think there would be an issue installing it since my mobo has a built in heat sink

fossil cedar
fossil cedar

I'm assuming the blade is faster? What do you think of the Firecuda? @fossil cedar

mossy venture
frank scaffold
#

Must be the heatsinks. They both have the same write and read speed

mossy venture
#

There's more to ssds than just read and write tho

#

Like for gaming the p31 is better than the s70 (they're very similar, but p31 is a tiny bit better)

#

I'd get that, it's the best gen 4 ssd

#

On sale rn

frank scaffold
#

Due to some restrictions, I'm looking at the s70, s70 blade, or Firecuda

fossil cedar
#

Or if you were doing like 4k video editing or something

frank scaffold
#

12600k system. The price difference is pretty negligible

#

Actually the Firecuda is cheaper than the S70

cyan ravine
#

You really need to use a gen 4 properly rn to really notice the difference

#

I mean if it's like, $5-10 difference? I could call that worth it for a bit of convenience and a slight boost

frank scaffold
#

Seems like most of them are around 120

cyan ravine
#

Loading scenes and directstorage api will like that

#

But compared to an mp33? It won't be much

#

120usd for 1tb gen 4 vs like 67usd for 1tb mp33 not worth imo for the normal user

#

You could spend 20 usd over the gen 4's and get a 2tb mp33 or adata swordfish and have twice the space

cyan ravine
frank scaffold
#

It's all good. Thanks for the input. Don't upgrade that often anyway. My current SSD is an 860. Last CPU was a 9700k before I got the 12600k. So this stuff will last a handful of years

So I have been hearing people say that Windows 11 is bad for gaming and whatever but I donโ€™t see it but let me share my experience. I have a bad GPU and I havenโ€™t experienced any frame drops. But updates suck if you unplug your computer from the wall Windows 11 will bootloop like 3 times because it wants to update. Idk why but it does that. Ive also experienced some weird lag spikes while just browsing the web or sitting on my desktop. But other than that gaming doesnโ€™t have any effect. Maybe its because I am forced to play on lower end settings? Maybe windows 11 just cant handle high framerates and graphics settings?

#

I will have to test that when my 3070 ti comes

#

anyway tbh windows 11 is wannabe macOS by the looks and feel of the UI

"Updates suck if you unplug your computer"
Why are you shutting down your computer by unplugging it? There's probably updates running in the background and if you don't let it shut down normally it needs to do repairs, that's the boot loop.

obsidian wigeon
#

and besides

#

win 11 actually doesn't look anywhere close to macos

#

Has anyone bought the abs i7 1100f 3070 build for 1599.99? I would like to see what it looks like

obsidian wigeon
#

i don't have it, but it looks exactly like the pics suggests cause those pics are real

fast plinth
#

I just wanted to know what the gpu looks like

obsidian wigeon
#

well not 100% exact due to gpu and mobo being randomly picked

fast plinth

Ah

#

Okay

you can get like much better cpu if you go custom

and more ram too

Wow

#

Idk cause I cant build my own pc

#

My dad would rather have a pre

fossil cedar
fast plinth
#

Really?

#

All I know is that my dad doesnโ€™t want to build it and doesnโ€™t want to have to buy anything extra

fossil cedar
#

3070 isn't worth the extra tbh

fast plinth
#

Okay

#

Thanks

#

Does open box guarantee everything in the pc

#

Like gpu and other things

#

Cause the open box agreement thing makes no sense

#

they are all i5

fossil cedar
fast plinth
#

ah okay

fossil cedar
fast plinth
#

Really?

#

What is the difference then

fossil cedar
#

Open box just means someone sent it back but all the things are there

fast plinth
#

ig all my friends are stupid lol

fossil cedar
fast plinth
#

but whatโ€™s the performance dif

fossil cedar
#

Like for example the 12th gen i5, 6 cores is better than the 11th gen i7, 8 cores

fast plinth
#

ah okay

#

Thanks then

One more thing

#

Can I add ram to the build

#

This one

#

Sorry for link

fossil cedar

Yeah you can but if you wanted 32gb you might want to buy a 2x16gb kit instead of adding another 2x8gb kit

only 16awg i come across are single exensions that are like $40 a pop

also when it comes to installing my 6800xt's drivers, do i download the auto-detect and install or?

my 6800xt requires 12 inputs from my psu, i only have 2 pcie cables, however they both have split ends at the pcie ends of them, amount to 8 total inputs. is that okay for power delivery or should i look into ordering another pcie cable?

12 inputs? What do you mean by that?

idk what to call those lol

You should be ok using one of the daisy chains. It's not ideal but it works.

cyan ravine

All g

high yew
cyan ravine
#

Do you have a single version of that cable? Or do you only have 2 pigtails

#

Only use the cables provided in the psu box

high yew
cyan ravine
#

Ok then yeah just use one of the daisy chains

potent portal
#

Unless you plan on doing a lot of overclocking and pushing more than 400W into it you should be good as is

earnest olive

i did 600w through 2 cables no problem

it's fine

high yew
#

i have a cpu cable that amounts to 8 pigtails, buttt i don't think that's how that works

on a 750w psu

12100f beats any 6 core cpu for that price

I know

#

The 12400f?

high yew
#

it possible to put the pcie end of the cable into the psu so i don't have a daisy chain end just sitting there?

mossy venture

you're not getting a 12400f for $106

do you like explosions

True, but is it better than that?

LMFAO

random galleon
#

Question for anyone here, Ive had my build for about 2 or so years now and suddenly it just doesnt wanna Boot and the Mobo is stuck on the Orange DRAM Light, I have noticed my GPU fans arent spinning but its getting power and I really havent noticed any other issues than that

coarse coral
random galleon
random galleon
cyan ravine
#

How far did it go this time? Did it boot?

coarse coral
random galleon
#

I tried both individually, one got as far as both the Green And White lights being on but went back to just the Dram right after testing it a second time

#

And now that I took the one that atleast went somewhere other than having the DRAM on, It boot right up

#

Does this mean the other stick is bad?

potent portal
#

Either the stick or the slot

cyan ravine
#

Try the stick that worked in the slot of the other one

random galleon
#

Hm, I tried all four slots with the Stick B and it only worked in one slot whereas Stick A seemingly worked with all of them, So maybe it is just a slot issue? My small brain is tripped up now lol

cyan ravine
#

Stick going bad it sounds like

broken lake
#

what is the difference between the mp33 and the mp34?

strong raft
#

Main thing is just the sequential speeds. Mp33 is around 1600MB/s like an sn550. Mp33 Pro & MP34 are more around 2500ish. (I might be a bit off on the latter info, but just a small example)

what is good cooler choise for 12600k again ?

mossy venture

Peerless assassin 120 or ak620

what about cheap 240mm aios thonk

mossy venture
#

Theyre worse than the ak620

Oh $50! That's pretty much the lowest I've seen.

But I'll need another 2fan for top as exhaust hmm

can confirm ak620 is a beast

love that cooler

Lol yeah

Let me find some bright rgb fans lol

cyan ravine

P12 argb

ornate condor
#

Expensive hmm

cyan ravine
#

Says the guy with a strix

ornate condor
#

50$ air cooler + 50$ case fan = good 280mm or 360mm aio

cyan ravine
#

Try inwin sirius loops then

#

Those are budget, really good performance rgb

cyan ravine
ornate condor
#

Looking for cheap fans just as exhaust couse I think one exhaust fan will not be enough for ak620

#

Or should I go for aio idk hmm

cyan ravine
#

The inwins are cheap

#

Hmm no one selling singles?

#

Maybe cooler master sickleflows

ornate condor
#

Hmm maybe I have some oldass fans around idk

cyan ravine
#

That'd work too

ornate condor
#

I think I can find some fans hanging around lol

high yew
#

thoughts on the antec p120 crystal? it would def look pretty, just unsure about airflow

cyan ravine
#

I feel like I've seen this case before and it's supposed to be alright with mid-tier or low-tier stuff

#

It's a little* expensive though

#

Wouldn't recommend it when you can get cases like the g360a for a competitive price

frank stirrup
cyan ravine
#

Sure lol

#

As long as I don't die

frank stirrup

ok so basically

#

!bat

still roostBOT
frank stirrup

download the file

#

utilities->ram cleaner->set up task

cyan ravine
#

Okie

frank stirrup
#

put in ur profile password when it asks you for it

cyan ravine
frank stirrup
#

and then see if a task called ram_cleaner has been created in task scheduler

cyan ravine
#

error

#

hang on I turn off my vpn and try again

#

I ran it again and it said the cleaner already exists thinkies

frank stirrup
#

eh?

#

like the task?

cyan ravine
#

it had an error on the bat executable

#

it was flashing so I couldn't get a pic

#

but it was saying like "Web request-" something something

frank stirrup
#

yep thats not error

#

thats just it downloading stuff needed to make everything worky

cyan ravine
#

whereabouts in the scheduler will I see ram cleaner?

frank stirrup
cyan ravine
#

not seeing it no

frank stirrup
#

Hmmmm

#

did it ask u for your password?

cyan ravine
#

did not no

frank stirrup
#

ok 1 sec

frank stirrup
#

@echo off
hostname.exe > __t.tmp
set /p host=<__t.tmp
del __t.tmp

then close the batch file and re run again

I'm tryna write the error out as it flashes

frank stirrup
#

1 sec

cyan ravine
frank stirrup
#

this should pause every step

#

so it wont flash

#

itll stay till you press any key

cyan ravine
#

huh it said github on the other one

frank stirrup
#

hmmmmm

fossil cedar
#

Rawr you don goof

frank stirrup
#

It work good on my pc

frank stirrup
#

when you launch the file?

cyan ravine
#

does not

#

I ran as admin tho

#

windows defender blocked it tho, said you were sus

cyan ravine
#

good case

#

decent price

high yew
#

im likin it

#

i like 4000d airflow but

#

time for an upgrade tbh

cyan ravine
#

yeah 4000D airflow is comparable

#

and that's $114

high yew
#

i'd love a o11 dynamic evo

cyan ravine
#

actually

high yew
#

but expensive

cyan ravine
#

what about this one

#

white is the same price

frank stirrup
high yew
#

it's an okay case, canada computers is ridiculous for shipping costs though

frank stirrup
#

tf u doin with yo pc

cyan ravine
#

eh?

#

Me use pc normal

frank stirrup
#

it always asks for admin

cyan ravine
#

yes mine does with everything else

frank stirrup
#

ugh

cyan ravine
#

idk what else to tell you lol

cyan ravine
#

omg torrent nano is like 100 usd in canada

high yew
#

that is one interesting case lmfao

cyan ravine
#

hmm actually

#

also considerable options

#

honestly LC II Mesh is kinda worth

#

but that air mini price is also nice

#

especially when you like what an o11 looks like. That's just a shorter o11, still fits just about everything lol

#

it only won't fit a 360 aio but you can fix that (albeit slight scuff) with adapters

high yew
#

i have a 240aio anyway so not a worry

cyan ravine
#

240 would be fine in a mini air

high yew
#

i do like the way a o11 looks, its verrrrrrrrrrrry pretty imo

fossil cedar
#

Arctic being good company

high yew
#

that lc ii mesh c is lookin good though

cyan ravine
#

ye

#

If I were to pick between the two, o11 mini air

#

if I absolutely needed a bigger case, lc 2 mesh

high yew
#

the 4000d i have right now i'd consider to be too big

#

gonna watch a video on a o11 mini

#

see how it looks

cyan ravine
#

o11 mini air isn't so mini is the point

#

it's like the same size footprint as a full o11 just shorter

fossil cedar
#

It's atx in disguise as matx or large itx

cyan ravine
high yew
#

@cyan ravine think im gonna go for the lancool ii mesh

#

gamernexus had some stuff to say abt the o11 mini

cyan ravine
#

seems good

#

about the mini non-air or the air mini?

high yew
#

air mini

cyan ravine
#

hmm ok

high yew
#

he said there was improvements from the older version of it, but it still has some upgrades that can be done to it

undone saddle
high yew
#

actually pause, @cyan ravine - how is the airflow in the air mini?

#

thatโ€™s the one thing im most worried about if i were to get it

cyan ravine
#

just fine

#

if you get extra fans like a 5 pack of P14's it'll be good

#

GN had a point about the GPU thermals but if you do like, 6 intake, 3 exhaust on that system the thermals should be fine imo

#

or if a case mod exists, taller feet

#

what GPU is going in there anyway @high yew

high yew
#

iโ€™d fill it with fans to the best of my ability for sure lol, i have 4 SP120โ€™s currently and a 240mm corsair aio, iโ€™d grab some more

cyan ravine
#

so a 450w gpu

#

yeah you'd need a couple more fans I think

high yew
#

ballpark yeah

cyan ravine
#

I would still suggest a 5 pack of p14's if you don't mind losing the rgb

#

sp120's aren't bad tho

high yew
#

i keep looking at reviews but theyโ€™re all 11+ months old, i believe lian made upgrades to the air mini no?

cyan ravine
#

the air mini is the upgrade

#

over the regular mini

high yew
#

oh no shot

cyan ravine
#

as long as the gpu stays horizontal it's not something I'd be too worried about

high yew
#

yeah itโ€™ll be horizontal for sure

cyan ravine
#

if you aren't doing some crazy OC it shouldn't be concerning

high yew
#

as much as iโ€™d love to mount it vertical as the fans look sexy on it, i donโ€™t think having hot air blast into glass is gonna do me any god

cyan ravine
#

you can deshroud and fan mod those gpu's anyway if you had thermal issues

high yew
#

for performance

#

https://youtu.be/HLbHrM7sgW4, is this the old version or new version?

In this episode of our case testing series, Paul puts the LIAN LI 011 DYNAMIC MINI through it's paces, testing airflow, internal temperatures and more! We will be stress testing our CPU and GPU to get a max temperature and then measuring said temperatures whilst reconfiguring fan setups to see if we can better apply airflow throughout the case!

AIR MINI

#

hah

#

nevermind forget i said anything

cyan ravine
#

old

high yew
#

yes yes shhhh

cyan ravine
#

glass front is old, vent front is new

high yew
#

gotcha gotcha

#

you think itโ€™s worth it?

#

the build would look hella good

#

i was thinking about going with the lancool ii like i mentioned earlier but you have so much extra space in those

#

lil compact case with some good airflow and strictly white is what i want. thatโ€™s what the air mini seems to be

cyan ravine
#

I mean either choice is good imo

#

but the mini air is just cheaper, that's why I'm nudging lol

high yew
#

fair enough i donโ€™t blame you one bit lol

#

correct?

cyan ravine
#

yeah that's the one

#

bit more on newegg ca tho

high yew
#

im gonna go black and have a black/grey themed pc build, gonna get 6 black p14โ€™s and maybe an led strip to have some rgb in there because of the fact i just bought RGB ram

#

switch to an arctic 240mm as well

cyan ravine
#

Arctic 280 is a better fit in there

high yew
#

iโ€™d want the gpu side mounted tbh

#

ffs

#

aio***

#

i need to go to bed oml

cyan ravine
#

side mount 280 fits better too

high yew
#

last i checked i donโ€™t think it does at all

#

itโ€™s only a 240mm

#

yeah itโ€™s only a 240mm aio for side aio

cyan ravine
#

oh yeah you right

#

huh I had that wrong for a while there

high yew
#

i think itโ€™ll look pre clean on that side anyway, upside down as well so no air bubbles if itโ€™s possible

#

would look hella nice imo

#

you think thatโ€™s a stupid idea to have a led strip in there somewhere? or no?

cyan ravine
#

I saw someone talking about a waterloop build in there and all they ever blabbed about was 280 rads so I believed it lol

high yew
#

iโ€™m debating on just returning my rgb ram and keeping my 32gb of g skill, itโ€™s black anyways

#

my g skill is

cyan ravine
#

so like, ambient light

high yew
#

yeah for sure

#

just gotta find where that would be

#

led strip recommendations?

cyan ravine
#

behind the bottom/ top fans is a pretty default spot

#

uhhh depends

#

for this build I think phanteks neons would be better

#

they're small strips so won't be seen easily

#

also diffused so more consistent light

high yew
#

sweet, i love it

#

i was debating on going rgb fans but meh itโ€™s too much money

#

esp if iโ€™m getting 6 of them lol, which brings me to my other point. why not p12โ€™s for fans?

cyan ravine
#

if you can fit p14's it's more worth getting p14's

#

also why not top mount rad?

#

too thick?

#

ah yeah I can see it too thicc

#

rip

high yew
#

yeah the rad is thicc asf on arctic aioโ€™s

#

only thing i donโ€™t like about em

cyan ravine
#

that's the best part tho

true, keeps it cool lol

why not the rgb

#

@fossil cedar

#

a lil morr aesthetic

fossil cedar
#

3600 is better

#

But if you want rgb sure get the rgb

crystal berry
#

is it a lil better

#

yea l know 3600mhz is better but

#

my fans are only rgb rgb ram will be fire

fossil cedar
#

If you want rgb get the rgb

crystal berry
#

but how better is 3600

#

pato el gato

mossy venture
#

though you'll be gpu limited with a 6600 anyways

#

so won't impact fps much

crystal berry
#

what is gpu limited

#

@mossy venture

mossy venture
#

the gpu will be the limiting factor in games

crystal berry
#

hmm ok

#

so now what gorf should l get

mossy venture
#

i mean

#

have you bought anything yet?

#

if not, whats the budget?

#

#

its better by bit
