Wait for 7000?
Hehe
You could get intel
13th gen/7000 if upgrading if you don't have one atm go 12th gen
12th gen is superior while having almost the same price and sometimes cheaper
if you have the coin go straight to 13th gen on like a month or am5 if you are into ddr5
just like pato said
I recently upgraded to a 5600x but the only problem is that the b450 board I kept from before doesnāt have some of the features that I need
sorry pato sama i was too slow
unless you need the usbc i shouldnt worry too much about pcie4
modern cards barely saturate pcie3, let alone pcie4
Gigabyte is dookie Iāve had more issues and RMAās with gigabyte and zotac than any other brand
and unless you are a content creator who moves a lot of data on a daily basis then gen 3 nvmes are more than enough
Sounds like a you problem

My Gigglebyte Aorus Master is the bee kness man. I'm havin hecka fun with it.
Not just me. I work at a PC ship and those are the two brands with the most issues
Why?
My arous 3080 ti had been nothing but nice
I've had 0 issues with my gigabyte eagle 6800xt
Lol sure
I worked with gigabyte for a while and I had no issues
Not for content creation but for camera footage
Your TI looks a lot like a normal 3080 12gb lol
Lol
Well yea so does 3090
They all like 4 slot
Why would I lie about that? What good does that do me? And itās not like he/she has to take my recommendation. All I said was Iād avoid gigabyte if you can. Otherwise itās good for budget because itās cheap
Its the internet people lie for fun
Well thatās not what Iām here to do. I like to help where I can
Youāre just making assumptions
You canāt say everyone when there has been 2 people that said it. You and another guy who said his High end motherboard works great
We talking about mobo or gpus??
Iāve also personally had gigabyte and had issues with motherboard. The 3060ti didnāt have issues and it was gigabyte. But generally there are more issues with gigabyte and Zotac than any other brand from what the shop that I work at has seen. I have nothing to gain from lying to someone about brand recommendations.
I was talking about the dudes graphics card that was asking about what he should get
Gigabyte does have 2 recent recalls under its belt. I don't have too much experience with their products though, who knows maybe its just luck of the draw?
Gen 3 ssds can easily handle camera footage?
Only gpu I heard had issues with is msi
Heard.
Should I just get a 3400mbps speed nvme?
Ventus
What nvme you got atm?
The ventus cards are lower end of MSI so itās not surprising
ventus almost always have heat problems and noise problems, wish they didnt cuz they are always cheap 
And gigabytes customer service is awful when you do have issues and youāre trying to get them remedied
Xpg 3500/3000 512 gb. Not enough storage as I also got 2 games on there so I need another drive anyways
If you want to make sure you have a fast drive, samsung 970 evo plus and sk hynix p31 are both great gen 3 options should be plenty
That's true haha
Ok. What would be a good price for 1-2tb
P31 is $198
Mp33 is $130 something, that would be my go to personally. Not as fast as p31 and similar drives though
Bought some of the parts already but does this pc come with wifi
PC Builder - Intel Core i5-12400F, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Fractal Design Focus 2 ATX Mid Tower
Ok
No, you'll want msi b660a wifi
How much is it
$10 more than the bazooka
If you really want it cheap, ds3h ax, but thats got worse vrms and a pretty crappy io
does the pc come with windows 10?
No, but its free to use
Or you can get a cheap key off cdkeys if you really want the unlocked version
Ty
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jayson1156/saved/nXJyWZ so this is the pc I bought
Gaming PC - Intel Core i3-12100F, GeForce GTX 1080, Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO ATX Mid Tower
That's upsetting my promo is taken by tax

Itās not compatible
You will be fine it's just a bios thing
It's fine
It all depends what bios the mobo comes with
So if I buy all the parts it should be all good
But you can upgrade it if it doesn't come with right one bur I think they mostly do now adaus
Yea
Yeah should be fine
Iām just a lil worried cause Iāve been saving up for awhile and I donāt wanna end up getting components thst sone match or fit
Donāt*
Hold on
One second
Use this
Wait
PC Builder
This
Just put in whatever you had in mind and it'll let you know of any known issues
Size or hardware
I already have a list tho
Yeah, you don't have to change anything
Wait, did you already make a list on that website?
It will be fine
It's a false positive
The only way it won't work is if you get a motherboard from almost a year ago, which is not a thing that happens
Hi i just finished putting my pc together and when it turns on, the lights and fans work, but when I connect it to a monitor nothing happens
You plugging it into the gpu right, not the motherboard?
ya
And make sure the 8 pin/pins is/are fully connected to the gpu
Ram is fully slotted in
Was it the 8 pins?
Itās displaying to the monitor now
Nice
Cool
š
Iām connected via Ethernet to my router and still nothing is showing up
i know this wasn't your question, but your cpu fan is on backwards
as for your question, try the link it says
A b550 should be fine for a 5800x right i dont think i should need x570
your desired cpu has little to do with your chipset selection
do you have more than 1 gen 4 ssd?
No
are you going to use any gen 4 pcie devices besides your graphics card?
Prob not lol
then b550 is fine for you
š you too
bro my first setup was a w
i had a dell optiplex 790
with 8gb of ram
a i4 2400
i5
and my trusty rx 570
a old mousepad from somewhere
g402
bunch of random wires
and a trash mic from ebay
nobody compares
š„±
why not top pcie slot gives more bandwith right?or are they the same 16x slot
@earnest olive why does you case look weird does it not have glass on it
Also what fans are thos
I need to buy some fans for my case
no glass
id-cooling xf12025 argb trio
nothing to write home about
Oh okay
@drowsy zodiac your reply got deleted because #build-pics is an image only channel
but i saw it in the logs
trust me, the back is not pretty
literally just not possible to manage that many cables
lolll i wouldnāt doubt it
just think about how many cables are involved in making all that work
Aaaaaaaah I'm so tired of pc problems. I bought a cheap window's key someone recommended on here and it didn't work
Said the key is in use on another device
what website did you buy it from
shi thatās where i was thinking of ordering it from
maybe try and get in contact with kinguin
512gb is enough for starters(?
Well idk. I entered the code and my pc did NOT like it, then when it took me to a redund page it started asking for installation ID codes. I haven't entered them yet because it sounds sketchy AF
*refund
That's the next step in a replacement or refund from them. Idk if it's sketchy or not
imo kinguin is kinda sketch all around so i feel you but iām also just a stressed out person tbh so might just be me
i have a 1-to-12 powered rgb splitter
jeez
it's a pcb with 12 argb headers and a sata power
you need active power to split that many ways
otherwise you're looking at 1-to-3 or 1-to-4 at best
have you ever dealt with kinguin @earnest olive
Omg
technically you can only get 11 connections though, since one of them needs to be reversed for motherboard sync
never heard of kinguin
where do you get your windows keys?
i don't 8)
you deal with the watermark?

I've used my same key from my windows 8 laptop for 7 different devices
yeah my laptop came w free windows 10 but iām not sure how to get the key lmao
itās just windows 10 home
Sign in to your microsoft account on the laptop
Just sign in after you install windows from a usb
that works?
oh say less
I have like 3 or 4 windows keys floating on my account cos of that
i donāt even need to buy a new key then lmao
Mhm
I just bought one because I thought it had something to do with my computer not wanting play mic audio when plugged into the monitor, then not play game audio but have the mic work when it's plugged into the motherboard
just me or did i not understand that at all
I did sign in my built pc but it didn't give me anything. I did have a window's ASUS laptop before this
i have a asus laptop too lol
God it's so frustrating. Like am I an idiot. Is it common sense that plugging your headset into your monitor doesn't make the mic work? Is it the same way for audio not working from the motherboard, but the mic works?
why is driver easy downloading at 0.1 mb/s but everything else downloads fast at my normal speeds
Fast download requires both ends to be quick
iām not really sure my mic and headphones run through a audio interface and plugged into a usb port on pc
If a server is slow it be slow
damn thats unfortunate
its updating my GPU
and its a 1.1 GB update
its downloading at 0.1 mb/s
I have a hyperx cloud II headset, so it doesnt have a usb plug-in. i REALLY don't want to have to buy a second headset...
maybe an adaptor was the easiest solution all along. gah
It depends on the type of aux jack
If the device you're plugging into is only rigged for 1 type of audio at the plug, you'll only get one type
it's a 3.5mm aux jack at the back. i do get audio coming in, but the mic wont play audio back out
Yes I know
There are different 3.5mm plugs
Some do combined mic + stereo, some only do mic or stereo, some exclusively mic or exclusively stereo afaik
oooh idk how to check that
my motherboard has the mic jack and a second jack next to it
Easy, but probably just have to get sort of a splitter cable and 1 part goes into the mic port. That "second jack" is just Line In or Line out btw. 
but when i plug into the mic one i cant hear anything
Yes exactly
yeah ill just get a splitter i guess
Example of the headsets side of things
now i have to message paypal about that bogus window's key though.....
If you get a splitter you should be able to map one to do mic and one to do stereo
They can be had cheap on amazon
Like $7?
ugreen will be a good choice if they have one
noted thank you. gah, wish i hadnt tried that bogus site for a cheap key though
i glanced at this quickly and thought it was lipstick
Is there a advantage to using a splitter?
Wondering because I have one from an old headset.
I mean if you need it to get both channels of audio, then both over one? Yeah, kind of an advantage lol
If not needed then no don't worry about it
It can be useful to set-up multiple speakers for example but if you're just using stereo headphones then you'll be fine
im on a b550 with a r7 5800x
exact mobo matters more than chipset
there's b450s id trust more than a good few b550s and x570s
ive got a very low end b550
this is the one i use.
got it used for $40, fine for my 3600
score.
@earnest olive is that a fan for your ram?
3 fans for my ram
Oh. Now I see. I want to put a fan on my gpu like that, but that's where my PC Champion goes.
only because i'm overclocking b-die in california summer
if you have to ask you don't need them
I'm thinking I might need one for mine just to pull the heat away. My room has been getting to 95f
Kk lmao
My cpu can overclock to 5.2
what IC?
what are you running tRFC at?
Ballistix rev e. Idk what the tRFC is at off the top of my head.
fans are optional for sure on rev. e, might be able to run tighter tRFC though
I don't have a temp sensor for it so I just figured a fan to be on the safe side.
Do you remember me offering you to come up to my place to OC my RAM for me?
I work 7 days a week 10 hour shifts. I ain't got time to mess with ocing ram lol
ram oc is only worth doing if you're really interested in it
or have an msi laptop
My I ask why you got champion role?
Plus, when I updated my bios. My previous OC wouldn't post
it's based off of activity
Cuz I'm a champ :*
Pssshhh
I'll take all the kisses I can get.
Champ of sounding weird by swearing maybe

(Disclaimer I've never heard reo's voice)
Heh, pato and I had a convo. We've deemed it that I am not a normal American weird sounding swearer
Lol
Expert Swearer
Yis?
Lol
I think itās an appropriate role.
do this
yeah good daily setup
fr
gotta hire an ln2 pourer so i can game
forks does it
he has a full time ln2 pourer so he can play ark at MAXIMUM framerates
Any suggestions on this build? I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible while still being good enough for heavy work and light gaming at 1080p at around 90-120fps
PC Builder - Intel Core i5-12400F, GeForce RTX 3060, BitFenix NOVA MESH SE TG ATX Mid Tower
swap the ssd to team mp33
$1 difference
but it's worth it
rest should be fine
with rising power costs maybe cheaper in the long run to buy a cheap 80+ gold instead
two months for a 5995WX
LN2 @ max fps opteron
hmm ok the cheapest decent gold psu is like $15 higher
probably not worth it
assuming you need cuda for that work
Tuf go brrrr
opteron = garbo
cause if you don't need cuda then for sure go for radeon over this $380 3060
if you're open to used you can get a 3070 at this price
$380 is steep
All good. I'm trying to get the guy to be ok with a couple of lightly used parts that I already have. I have a 750w corsair psu thats a tier and a corsair something rather airflow case and the good corsair rgb fans.
if you live near a microcenter might be worth seeing if that $200 bundle deal for 11700K + mobo is still active
Nope, none near me.
Not exactly sure if he needs the cuda or not atm. As far as used.. I'm not sure if he's open to that idea.
it feels pretty bad to pay $380 for a 3060
Worth finding out if they're doing anything cuda yeah
Aye. The games he listed off would play fine on the 1650 super I already have, but he wanted to be able to play any game if he so chose to on a whim.
Or maybe in the future
i'd say 3060ti at $450 is a better deal than that but you said cheap as possible
Well I did quote him 1500 for a good build
So really anything below that would be a win at this point.
6650xt is only 320 and beats the 3060 as long as cuda is not needed
I just have had bad experiences with AMD at this point so I'm not really into going for AMD.
you're selling him this for 1500 regardless of how much it costs you to build?
that's an insane profit margin
No
Depends. If he goes for my used parts then it'll be a good profit. Otherwise he'll be paying me $150 to put the pc together.
still very good
If he goes for the used parts then ill be getting roughly $300 profit on top of the profit for building jt
Damn reo
As the lightly used parts i got for very cheap
He's just a customer :P
if hes willing to go used try to get a used gpu
ruffles moneybags
passes gpupi at above 2.2ghz on air
It it was lightly used gpu possibly.
2.2 
I'm not into the used gpus. I wouldn't even recommend it to my customer tbh
2130 full stable is kinda epic
vram is no slouch either
This guy has spent thousands on laptops that take craps on him soo
+1250 on the gddr6 daily stable
I don't think he'd have an issue with 350 for a new gpu
flashed to strix vbios for 350w pl
Lol
paying $20 less than that for a 3060 is just
yikes
but at least it's not coming out of your pocket
if he says no to used that's his loss
cheap dual fan 3060 no less
that was a 3070 tuf
You keep naming off things I've had issues with haha
Would it be worth to just slap my lga1700 contact bracket on that? I'm thinking no, but I could squeeze out a tad more profit.
putting contact frame on an i5-12400 is kinda meme
my i3-12100 saw 0C difference from contact frame lol
I guess it depends on how unethical you want to be in squeezing his money out
I wouldn't do it, it doesn't offer any benefit whatsoever
but I also don't primarily build for money so no reason to be unethical about things
Yeah, I'm not gonna. The dude is pretty cool so I wanna get him the best deal I can. This just also gives me a chance to offload the parts I got for super cheap for their going used prices, however idk if he'll go for the fans. They are brand new, but they are expensive af.
well, gl with that
Like, I do have the fans that came with both my corsair 4000D/5000D so I might just throw those in there free of charge on top of whatever fans come with the case.
@honest anchor I'm so jelly. My white build has had some roadblocks.
Ok my peoples hello again. Wtf is this sound?
Thatās a fan rattling lol
get new fans
ok thnk u
Could also be a cable hitting a fan
What's contact frame
nah ive been checking and i dont seen i think its one of the radiator fans maybe thank u again
Reason: Bad word usage
how long can i let this fan rattle like this before i need to replace it?
You can leave it til it dies just depends how much it annoys you
thank god i thought this was the beginning of the end
thats a contact frame
allow you to put even pressure on all 4 sides of the cpu, unlike the default ILM which puts more pressure on one side only
So would it be better to get
š¤
for an i7-i9 yeah
especially an i9
gamer nexus have some videos about it if you want to check how the use it
its pretty dope
Okay I'll keep in mind
do ya think lga1700 will drop once 13th come out?
Huh?
š¤
if you ask about 12th gen dropping prices, i dont think so, those are pretty recent as well and intel already confirmed that the 13th gen will be a bit pricier. but thats just my opinion
I was thinking about going with a 12400 over a 12100 if the 12400 goes down a bit, but I'm curious if 11th generation is gonna drop a substantial amount to where it'd be worth changing plans?
11th gen not worth for the price nor the performance
go directly to 12th gen or am4
you may be able to lube the fan bearing with machine oil
but if it's a cheap prebuilt fan and it uses standard interface you might as well replace it
or if it's still under warranty maybe get lenovo to send you a new fan
thank you
I need help
I just upgraded from 16 to 32 gigs and now windows is giving me irql not less or equal
And BSODing
different sticks I swapped out the other ones
Yes
Same slots and everything
Yes they are dual channel
No
Just stuck them in
And then i blue screened
Continues to automatic repair
Yeah
It loaded windows then automatically does this
That is new
Smilyface with a double chin
Done now waht
@elfin flame
What does it mena by unstable though
is this with xmp on or off
Whats best white aio ?
Xmp is disabled
ram most likely defective
Looking for decent 360 aio for 12900k
i don't think it's white
White ?
probably a white galahad
Yes white = more fps
something tells me the guy with 12900K and 2 3090s isn't a budget user
can probably afford a galahad
Yeah I'm mostly in between asus rog 360 and galahad
I do have rog 360 but never used galahad before
Thinking about new build
Lol no I want new build and wanna try out new things lol
I have all asus build right now
rommy whats the best pink aio for my 4770k
Lol

Alright lets move to galahad then
now i want a pink aio
bet
Cool
Now im getting kernel mode heap corruption which is a graphics issue
I think my RX550 finally died
Wow it's been a year since I build this lol
My old build lol
New one
I mean it's not new anymore it was a year ago lol
That cables tho lol
meh, if it was working fine with the old ram it's probably the ram's fault still
swap in the old ram if you still have it and see if bsods go away
your old pc had your personallity put in it
your new build looks like every other dudes build
...how?
the first build just looks like.... a build
there's nothing customized about it
they're both just pcs

go to build pics
needs more rgb probably doesn't even hit 500 fps in minesweeper
most high end look the exact same
Reason: Bad word usage
lol
so... being a low end build gives it personality?
š¤£
Is that a raspberry pi
no
One more swear and ill probably get kicked
latte panda?
actually ye

kinda
whatever floats your boat
the guy who bought it had a $300 budget and wanted all brand new parts
I just wanna open twice the amount of chrome tabs š«
i would take that build, get a better case. fix cables up and boom. little bros pc
i dont understand what your idea of personality is
my idea of a pc with personality is something with custom pieces inside
huh
something you can't find on pcpartpicker
u would like my build
ye?
put your old ram back in and see if it works
we've already told you what's 99.9% likely to be the issue
now this is a build with personality
No
a repusentation of your effort
š
Ban
outstanding
BAN
i mean high end rgb vomit box builds take a lot more effort than budget builds if you want the cables to look good
i toss together budget builds in like 10-15 minutes
i know
Why does my cooler and mb remain on when i shut my pc off
rate my high airflow setup
yeah
With the old ram the PC still goes into auto repair
the right is an rtx 3070 the left is an r5 240

2 builds 1 monitor
oh wait that's 2 3070s actually
ima build my friend a light esports machine
i forgot about the other one
why me cant post photo
need to hit level 3
Ok now it loads up properly
-_-
happens when windows detected failed boot/bsod shortly after boot
I booted and im on my desktip
auto repair isn't a result of anything wrong with your hardware necessarily
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i get auto repair from doing ram oc with working ram
so yeah your new ram is defective
there you go
now return it for being defective and get new kit
lmao that air cooler making the gpu look tiny
ikr
Test bench system
lovely
Building a 3U file server rn, I bought a beautiful sliger rack mount chassis.
rate this build that i got in a trade lmao
š
the cpu fan falling off is a nice touch imo
Personality
lol nice
rip
nice
my local university has this ewaste thing every november
free desktops and laptops that WORK
just old
i clean them up and make a SERIOUS profit
back when 11th gen was new
nice
i don't know how HP managed to do it though, but the audio jack was completely unusable
gt 1030
the audio jack just played some weird static and alien sounds
30 ##**@#*$& 90?!?!?!?!?
Just got this Corsair SF600 off eBay for like $35, had no cables but I got a couple kits of CableMod cables.
meanwhile me still rocking an evge 980ti
i can't believe i held your hand
the asian way..
LOL
i kinda want to sell mine for a 4070 or something
just for less heat output
4060 is probably fine too
i don't need this much performance lol
thermaltake versa h18 black

amd athlon 3000g
some evga bronze psu 550watt
iz gud school work pc
i don't need much vram
i don't think i've managed to use more than 1/3 of my vram lol
i'd be fine with 10gb
it was funny having more vram than system ram for a while
how much is the 3000g?
i think i'd rather shell out 148 aud for the i3-10105 at that price
even just for school work
im on an awfullly tight budget
2c/4t zen1 is gonna need replacing a lot sooner than 4c/8t comet lake
would be cheaper in the long run
i need it in 2 weeks
but if 3000g is what you can afford now i guess thats fine
ye
can drop in a cheap used 3600 or something later
its a good cpu
well the mthrbd i have supports yp ro r7 5700
oh and no its not
its def not 180 Aus
is usd to aud really 1:2 now?
its 400 for some reason is Australia
i meant used
usd to aud is only 1:1.45
nowhere near 1:2
Reason: Bad word usage
yes but our pricing on stuff is TERRIBLE
thats why i was saying
it's 90 usd in the states used but i dont know about the australian used market
surely a 3600 will be cheap there in another 2 years though...
that b450 board should also support 5800x3d with the latest beta bios despite not listing support
ok
beta 4.49 says agesa 1.2.0.7 support
3200g meh
i know
see if you can get a ryzen 3 4300g/5300g or something on aliexpress later on lmao
ryzen 5 5600g
ok
pretty steep upgrades over the 3200g
i think the highest end cpu you can run with 1gb ram is i9-9900KS
wow
without resorting to maxmem
1gb ddr4 doesn't exist
i need to go
and an adapter
I was looking at power supplies and I feel like I could get something better at the same price of the one I was planning on
This is what I was thinking originally
none of those are a better option than the tuf 550w
Yo I have a question so when I built my pc i was on a mega budget and went with 500gb storage (ik stupid I regret it ) anyways my mobo has one ssd slot and I'm a brand designer so I cant lose any files and I need way more storage! How would one go about transferring info including OS to another ssd without a second slot... Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thanks!
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mhD2zf can someone fix up my friends list. he just wants to stream and play games in high quality. looking for a motherboard that has wifi.
PC Builder - Intel Core i7-12700K, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic ATX Full Tower
Does he want to cpu oc
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nT62Bj check this one bacca-san
PC Builder - Intel Core i5-12400F, Radeon RX 6800 XT, Phanteks Eclipse G360A ATX Mid Tower
max amount he can spend 2300
true, i though on a mid range budget š
not dead set on that case and aio
could literally change anything in that list
as long as it functions well
wants both function and form
preferably function though
I'd do this, can swap gpu for 6900xt if wanted https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sCG2Bj
PC Builder - Intel Core i7-12700F, GeForce RTX 3080 12GB LHR, Phanteks Eclipse G360A ATX Mid Tower
6900xt performs a bit better, if he wants to use rtx then get the 3080
looks good, thanks
thats what i have lol

hey felix, even derbaur praised the ls720, you can die at peace now
second to artic but at least is better good looking and rgb
No idea cos AM5 isn't out on the shelves yet
oh
Also that's not really a bad build if you also had good ram and mobo picked out
an am5 build is a complete overhaul anyway xD
its upgrades
olh
PC Builder - AMD Athlon 3000G (14nm), Thermaltake Versa H18 MicroATX Mini Tower
if u say just get a so and so cpu or gpu
the prices in australia are so much worse
I redid a whole new list
so shush
Also I live in Australia

If you can pay them to update bios, do this instead

i updated the bios
Oh then just get the 5600G then
no
It's superior in many ways

Why ask for feedback if we can't see how much you're paying
idk
Also, you should try centrecom, they're usually the cheapest here
I always do online with centrecom, they're very good
@empty pollen LS720 has a good coldplate shape
I didn't know what the shape was, I just knew it was good
They did the corsair approach for the coldplate

(not really corsair's idea but it's easy to remember theirs are convex)

Arctic a lot quieter tho

yeah the convex plate is a win win for me
same on the ak620
but yeah, both are good for 720 wins on the good looking department as well
artic need to level up their game with those ugly looking pumps at least š
the performance is there but the looks.... oh man
Artic is a case of all function no form
I'm fascinated that the kraken did so well there
Maybe it's just the limited sample size
indeed
too sad that those msi aios are plagued with bad reviews about clogging
some of them are pretty
That's deserved tho
no doubt
Tom's hardware also supposed to have an ls720 review in the works, still waiting for that one
some reviews said that the 720 is kinda loud tho
not a problem anyway with my headphones 
but all of them agree on the quality and performance of the 720
Ya
Well the AK620 is loud too
The fans aren't perfect
If you did standardised fans across all the aio's I wonder how that would look
im almost convinced in buying the ls720 for my pc on october
P12's on all of them 
the dream
Just slap T30s on them. PC can double as a fanboat
Where ram go at
I need help I build pc and brain shut off
time to hit youtube
facts

You can't remove some heatsinks depends on ssd 
XPG s70 is one of them
@leaden mauve bc the non heat sink one out of stock
my computer recently started crashing when i'm running a game and have youtube or twitter or something running on my second monitor
anyone have experiences like that?
Do all slots have cover ?
Yes
Sn850x
Just pry it off with knife idk it's not easy to remove 
So the screw is stuck inside if I can remove heat sink I can place it in
@ornate condor can I vc you
I removed heatsink from sn750 and sn850 before . Just pry it off with something but very carefully 
I'm about to sleep lol
I'm scared
Yeah it's not easy
it's glued to pcb
You have to pry it off with knife or razer or something
But you can damage ssd tho 
yes you can
Yes you can damage it if you not do it carefully
I still didn't get my sn850x from Amazon
Idk why Do I even paying for prime
you need to use a razor to take it off as war pig said, but you can scratch or damage the chips if careless
I'm not pretty sure how that heatsink is . I removed heatsink from sn850 before
Sn750 was easy
Okay I got it
For sn850 you have to pry it off with something
I think I damage it
I still didn't seen new sn850x so

I can't
No look at pica above
You absolutely 10000% can
Omg
Nooooo
Ok well
Alternative
You can still screw the heatsink down if it has its own screw
N9
So you'll have to take the sn850x heatsink off
It has 4 tabs on each corner
It should be able to come off without prying
Just don't pry anything
Prying it is risky af with a pcb involved
@cyan ravine hm
Ngl Kenzie I'm scared

I'm scared for what I'm reading next
In fact
If the ssd is still untouched, take it out of the mobo, put it back in the box, take it back and swap it
š
What is the most I should spend on a used RTX 2060
what country
us
Ok thanks
you can buy them brand new for 230-250, so there is no reason to pay more than 200 for used
230 for bottom of the barrel single fans, 250 for premium models
antonline is selling the 2060 KO ULTRA for $247.99 on amazon
antonline is a reputable retailer
not for the KO ultra
not sure if there's a real difference between KO and KO ultra or it's just a factory oc
They have the KO Ultra for 242 if you use an assoc code
Aren't the KO's ex-2080 chips
So save $5, buy a coffee
yep
i forgot about associates code yeah
they're like down binned 2080 dies
yeah
so in blender it shreds any 2060 kek
That's better than a regular 2060 then
but otherwise it's the same
zero benefit in gaming but they actually perform similarly to 2080 in some tasks
does oc better due to that
Yea
@earnest olive sips I screwed up
Like BADLY
So Im currently wanting to build a PC but I have never built one so i was wondering if anyone could help me with it- or lead me to someone who can
what happened
Short story I killed ssd and how is bc I didn't listen to people when they TOLD me not to take the heat sink off and you know WHAT I did I took it off š
WHY THE HELL CAN I NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE FOR GOD SAKE
that's odd
an ssd should throttle if it heats up too much
not just roast itself to death
No I bent ssd
oh lol
And scratched it
good luck returning that
next time buy one without a heatsink
I wanted to put it in my mob9
I also wanted to use the sheilds my mobo came witj
Kenzie breaking even more hardware, classic.

My friend has a dell optiplex 790 that they use for college work that recently stopped turning on, they said the power button had been dodgy before so my assumption would be that that is the problem, would it be safe to short the on/off with a screwdriver and if that is what the problem is is it even possible to change what case its all in
What would y'all say the best coolant is? I'm wanting clear, non UV active
They have external buttons that plug into the motherboard. They even have Bluetooth ones
coolant for what
ambient temperature custom loop?
Water-cooling?
Well that answers your question then doesnt it
I meant what brand
I use distilled water with a silver kill coil or some additive you can get from different brands
custom loop i assume?
Oh is it those kinds that are refillable or sometihng
