[little osprey]

I have 8 devices that need to be plugged in and I want to know if that will be too many

[potent portal]

A single USB port can handle 127 devices as long as it doesn't have to power all of them

(255 per internal hub, 2 ports per hub typically)

[little osprey]

So if I plug the majority into the powered hub I should be fine?

[potent portal]

Yep

[little osprey]

Ok Ty

[potent portal]

Or keep the higher power draw stuff like controllers on the powered hub and low power stuff like flash drives on the non-powered

[little osprey]

It’s all controllers and kb/mouse :/

Will that still work the way I have it in the pic?

[potent portal]

Well wireless controllers will want 0.5A at least when charging, wired only ones are fine

[little osprey]

How much do you guys think i could sell a pc with 9400 cpu and 6600 gpu for

And yes I am thinking of selling my pc

[obsidian wigeon]

depending on the rest of the system

i think it goes for 600-700, maybe 750

600 would be more reasonable tho considering the cpu is 9400

[little osprey]

It has 512gb nvme and 16gb ram

I could throw in 2tb hdd storage but it might have more value to me than to the overall build

[little osprey]

I agree

Thanks for your input

[rugged burrow]

Anybody know what combo i could use for mobo and CPU ? Rn im rocking wit a i5-10400 and a Asus prime but im tryna upgrade

[cyan ravine]

Gpu?

[frank stirrup]

Budget

?

[rugged burrow]

Rx6600 and budget is around $450-500

[cyan ravine]

Any reason you want to change it?

Those two should be pretty capable together rn, I would keep waiting until like, Intel's 13400/13500 comes out

Big big cpu power boost by doing that

[rugged burrow]

Every time it’s a cpu based game my game crashes and then fps drops idk y so I’m thinking it has some to do wit the cpu

[fossil cedar]

Game shouldn't crash if you have a cpu bottleneck something else is wrong with your system

Either it's overheating or something in windows is corrupt etc

[rugged burrow]

I fixed windows like 2 days ago I factory reset

[fossil cedar]

Run a cpu stress test like occt and download hwinfo64 and see what temps you're getting

[rugged burrow]

Okay

[rugged burrow]

I have the intel stock cooler

[rugged burrow]

Temps are around 68-70

[cyan ravine]

ah, you might have fps drops on the stock cooler

might

[rugged burrow]

So should I just buy a aio with the money and thermal paste

?

[cyan ravine]

no

$20 cooler might help tho

try downloading HWinfo64 and monitor your cpu with the sensors only section

[fossil cedar]

No but those temps are perfectly fine

What ram are you running?

[cyan ravine]

oh right I wasn't reading the this

[rugged burrow]

Okay but do you have some rgb fan recommendations cause my pc has no lights

The ram I’m running is 2933

I think

[cyan ravine]

sure, arctic p12 argb or inwin sirius loops (latter is cheaper*)

[fossil cedar]

@rugged burrow next time you crash run download and run whocrashed

Also assuming you mean cpu cooler, id cooling se 214xt

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zr8bt6/id-cooling-se-214-xt-argb-682-cfm-cpu-cooler-se-214-xt-argb

[rugged burrow]

I had that one in my cart but then I took it off cause I thought it was bad since it wasn’t that expensive and instead I put the deep castle 360

[cyan ravine]

you absolutely don't need a 360 aio on a 10400

that's like

dumping the ocean on a small fire

[bronze salmon]

guys, I finally got the computer up and running but

[cyan ravine]

a $20 cooler is more than enough for a 10400

[rugged burrow]

Ik but since I have a Lian li with like 4 fans I was going to put the thing in there just for the looks

[bronze salmon]

my computer is detecting hardware issues (like insufficient memory on minecraft when doing shaders, overwatch closing midgame, and warframe restarting and even redirecting me to a site about possible issues)

[cyan ravine]

bit of a waste still

you can put that money aside for more ram or a far better cpu that can use it later when you upgrade

[rugged burrow]

I was thinking of getting some Corsair vengeance rgb ones 3200

[cyan ravine]

I wouldn't do vengeance 3200

[rugged burrow]

Or some Teamgroup

[cyan ravine]

either lol

team group yes

I know those ones

those are good

[rugged burrow]

Do yk what the difference is

Tho

[cyan ravine]

Corsair Vengeance DDR4 has a high count of issues trying to run it's advertised speeds so I always steer people away from it

[rugged burrow]

What’s the 16-18-18-38 thing for

Tho

[fossil cedar]

What motherboard do you have?

You might not be able to run anything over 2666

[cyan ravine]

timings. like the 3200 bit, timings play a role* in the speed

roll?

[rugged burrow]

A b560

Asus

[fossil cedar]

Ah okay then 3200 will work

[cyan ravine]

a sus

[fossil cedar]

Although not really worth the upgrade from 2933

You got your ram sticks in slots 2 and 4 from left to right?

[rugged burrow]

Yea

[fossil cedar]

Hmm i would definitely wait til your next crash, then download and run whocrashed
https://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed

[rugged burrow]

Then with this motherboard there’s a problem tho my m.2 slot doesn’t work

I have my ssd and hdd connected but my m.2 never pops up

Idk y

[fossil cedar]

By crash i assume you mean pc crash and not the game? Because if it's the game then it's the games issue most likely

[rugged burrow]

Yeah it’s the game

[fossil cedar]

You formatted it in disk management?

[rugged burrow]

It don’t even appear

[rugged burrow]

My fps drops and it crashes my game

[fossil cedar]

Then it's most likely the games problem or graphics drivers

[rugged burrow]

It’s like that for Fortnite and Val only tho

I had to put my settings down for both and they still drop badly

[fossil cedar]

You tried repairing the games?

[rugged burrow]

Yup

[fossil cedar]

What gpu you got?

[rugged burrow]

By repairing u mean uninstalling and reinstalling?

[rugged burrow]

6600

[fossil cedar]

That works too ye

Hmm

Tried ddu?

!ddu

[still roost]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[rugged burrow]

Ima try that when I turn my pc on

[rugged burrow]

Then yeah I’ve done it

[rugged burrow]

Are up here fans good to or naw ?

[cyan ravine]

I can't remember

[jagged brook]

is xfx speedster swft 210 core radeon RX 6650 XT good?

for gaming

[rugged burrow]

Okay

[fossil cedar]

Yes it's a great 1080p card, could probably do 1440p okay too in most things

[jagged brook]

ight👍🏼

[bronze salmon]

should I install this one or ;0

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[little osprey]

R7 5700U is better than a r5 5600, yes?

[potent portal]

No the U is a low power laptop chip

[little osprey]

But for a laptop would it be as good or better in comparison?

Looking for a comparison to performance

[potent portal]

So you're comparing laptop to laptop?

In that case are you comparing to the 5600U or 5600H?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah there's no laptop 5600 non h or u, and if you're comparing to desktop, it will always win because more power is possible

[potent portal]

At any rate you probably want to look at this. All the laptop chips fall way short of the desktop 5600. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/4274vs4156vs4284vs4811/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600H-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5700U-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-5600U-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-5600

Remember that the U ones are 15W low power models and the H are the higher performing ones

[limber oyster]

Bro, I just heard about Philips(the brand) new gaming line Evnia. Thier flagship monitor will cost $2000

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-dead-kermit-dies-pinguman-dies-mikefoster-dies-gif-25965824

[limber oyster]

Let me rephrase that

MSRP is $2000

[fossil cedar]

Same thing, noones gonna scalp monitors

[limber oyster]

And it's a 32" 4k 165hz monitor

Of course not

It's scalped as is

[fossil cedar]

Hahahahahaha

Not even 48"

And 240hz

[limber oyster]

Nope

32" ultrawide curved

Now if it was 48" and 8k...maybe

But for $2000 I could buy a 8k tv

[flint sapphire]

Any idea of what kind of panel tech they are gunna be using?

[limber oyster]

QHD

HDR 1400

[flint sapphire]

Ah it’s a oled panel, that’s why the price is so high

[limber oyster]

But I don't see how it's cost $2000

Maybe upwards of $1000 or so...

[flint sapphire]

Similar panels are around 1500+ and they are probably sourcing from someone else

[limber oyster]

It's Corsair branding lol

[flint sapphire]

Pretty much, or asus

[limber oyster]

Yee

I was gonna run Asus, but I liked LGs pricing better

I swapped one of my 24" 1080p LGs for a 27" Samsung G5 Odessy 1440p curved monitors

I wanna do the same to my second one now

[flint sapphire]

Typically the best priced monitors are gunna be the producers of the panels, like lg and Samsung for the super highend gigabyte is makeing their own 2 (could be wrong on that don’t rlly rmbr just rmbr they are bgr and not rgb)

[limber oyster]

My panels just don't like up properly lol

[flint sapphire]

having the same issue the chin of my monitors aren’t the same size

[limber oyster]

My 1080p LG is dedicated as my movie monitor

A longer desk would probably help too....

[flint sapphire]

Hard to notice but

Could always mount the monitors to help out with space

[limber oyster]

Mine are mounted

[flint sapphire]

Ah 2 mounts gotchya

[limber oyster]

RGB mounts😎

Well....red led mounts

[flint sapphire]

[limber oyster]

Lol

[fossil cedar]

Alienware has a qd oled but for like 600$ less

[limber oyster]

I think everyone has an OLED for less

[fossil cedar]

Qd-oled*

Which is even better

[flint sapphire]

Yeah I think the margins on qd is quite a bit better 2

[limber oyster]

I'm thinking it's because it's a "NEW" "GAMING" brand

The price is just to hype it up

[flint sapphire]

Oh it definitely is, it always is. Easy bandwagon to hop on just following the gaming trend and hoping for some whales

[limber oyster]

Gaming brand hype+new brand hype=Overpriced POS

[flint sapphire]

It’s a lot of testing the market to see how well it sells, if it sells pretty well then mission success lower the prices a bit blah blah blah

Higher prices to start so you don’t take too much of a hit on margins

[limber oyster]

But there is a such thing as too high

For example

My work sells those to guests for $4 each

32 oz for $4

[flint sapphire]

Depends on what kinda compatibility it’s has with existing products and if it has any “new features” there will always be great value products but some people just throw cash at niche issues

Also cookie dough Ben and Jerry’s is bomb af

[fossil cedar]

I would simply rather starve

[limber oyster]

Is it worth $4 for 32oz though?

[fossil cedar]

Brownie far better

[flint sapphire]

Yeah Ben and Jerry’s is a staple of high end dessert dining

[limber oyster]

Keep in mind

We're right across from two gas stations that sell the same ice cream, just bigger tubs

For the same price

[flint sapphire]

Convenience is a incredible selling point

[limber oyster]

Walking distance

[flint sapphire]

Could buy pc hardware on Craigslist for pretty dang cheap but you take a risk of injury and lack of convenience

[limber oyster]

We also sell the frozen microwave dinners at $8 each

[frigid night]

Oi. Why you taking pics of my work?

[frigid night]

I bought a $250 trio bundle of hardware for $50 on Craigslist. They came to me and everything works. There is some gold to be had.

[potent portal]

https://tenor.com/view/mask-jason-voorhees-friday-the13th-gif-17810550

[frigid night]

Yeah fr lol

[limber oyster]

Lol

[fossil cedar]

Who's gonna walk that if it's lashing rain tho smh

[paper summit]

Id do anything for food

[frigid night]

You underestimate the hunger that overpowers people.

[fossil cedar]

You underestimate the laziness that overpowers people, especially when there's food without leaving the building

[frigid night]

Speaking from experience? ;)

[fossil cedar]

Just a lil bit

I wouldn't usually pay 4$ for an ice-cream that small but in certain scenarios maybe

[jagged brook]

is this good?

[fossil cedar]

All from Amazon.de?

[obsidian wigeon]

i would swap for 5600

[fossil cedar]

That's what I'm thinking yeah

[paper summit]

Yea and u could spend a lil less or ram

[mossy venture]

Probably better psu for the price or similar one for cheaper too

[jagged brook]

yeah

[fossil cedar]

Lemme see what's available

[jagged brook]

okay

[fossil cedar]

Budget of roughly 1050€?

[jagged brook]

yea around 1k€

[fossil cedar]

Okay 1 sec

[jagged brook]

can be little bit more

[fossil cedar]

@jagged brook you need wifi?

[jagged brook]

wdym

[fossil cedar]

Do you need wifi?

[jagged brook]

sorry im kinda stupid so i don't understand the question

💀

[fossil cedar]

Like does your computer need wifi or Bluetooth or will you be using wired ethernet

[jagged brook]

oohhhh

u mean that

[fossil cedar]

Ye

[jagged brook]

i think wifi

yeah

[fossil cedar]

Okay

@jagged brook you want rgb stuff?

[jagged brook]

yea sure

[fossil cedar]

You willing to pay more for it though?

[jagged brook]

well depends on how much will it cost

if it's around the budget then yeah

[fossil cedar]

For the ram it'll cost an extra 20€ but lemme see if it will make difference overall

[paper summit]

😭

[fossil cedar]

@jagged brook imo if you don't mind spending 1075
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/7QFLH2
Otherwise this works, assuming everything can be shipped to you
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/mTXzjZ

Just click the Amazon links for them

[jagged brook]

alr i'll check it out thanks bro

[fossil cedar]

Np

[timid dragon]

Would lian li strimer triple 8 pin work on aorus 3070 ti master GPU? Cause I know that GPU has 2x8pin and 1x6 pin

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

if they're 6+2

[frigid night]

The lian li triple 8pin strimer is not 3x6+2. They are 3x8 so you can plug in 2 of them, but will need a separate 6 pin.

@obsidian wigeon

[obsidian wigeon]

oof

well rip

[icy crater]

Hello y'all my pc is experiencing issues again. After like 3 or 4 days my pc would just black screen after turning on. I see the cpu light on my motherboard but after I force it to shut down and turn it back on it is fine.

Is this a cpu problem, should I do an rma with amd?

[frigid night]

You might try reseating your CPU.

[jagged brook]

should i get rx 6700 or rx 6700 xt

[weary galleon]

Depends on the pricing

Xt is about 10% faster I believe

[potent portal]

Is your bios up to date? I've seen the board be the cause of similar things

[gentle pollen]

My case finally arrived.
#build-pics message

[torpid sorrel]

@potent portal

I just ran mc at max graphics

The coil whine is screaming

Should I return

[weary galleon]

yeah it'll do that. If you want, you might be able to RMA the card

[torpid sorrel]

And get another

Rma?

What does that mean

[weary galleon]

swapping it out for different card

[torpid sorrel]

Would that fix it?

Also is coil whine rare

Bc I don't wanna return it

And get one with worse whine

[weary galleon]

Chances of that are very very low if its loud whine

[torpid sorrel]

I usually get low whine

Also

I got it from newegg

And newegg isn't selling anymore

[weary galleon]

you would contact the manufacturer and see if they will swap it

[torpid sorrel]

Ok

Well that's weird

It's only mc

Wait I'll send a pic

Loke

Like

I just ran a stress test

[weary galleon]

probably high fps

[torpid sorrel]

And no coil whibe

[torpid sorrel]

Why would higher fps do that

I mean I do get like 400 fps

[weary galleon]

not sure the specifics but higher fps makes it louder usually

[torpid sorrel]

So how long would a new one take to arrive

Also so if I switched the card

What is the chance of any coil whine at all

[weary galleon]

for an RMA they would send you one and then after you recive it you ship the old one

[torpid sorrel]

Ok

But what if the new one has coil whibe

Whine

Bc I have a red devil rx 6800 xt

So should I return?

[analog hearth]

coil whine is normal

[torpid sorrel]

But mine is like a loud squeak when I go on mc

[analog hearth]

oh nah that’s not normal

[torpid sorrel]

Or should I say the server page

[analog hearth]

actually, try limiting your frame rate in your GPU drivers

[torpid sorrel]

Ok

I get really quiet coil whine all the time too

Yup only when I set the fps to unlimited it whines

Also

How long of a warranty do GPUs usually come with

Looks like a have a little time

Also I could also undervolt my gpu if it's really bad

Right?

Ok

I don't like coil whine at all though

Do you have coil whine?

Yeah

Ok

But if I can hear it

Should I just undervolt

Brb

Ok

Back

Should I undervolt if it's really bad?

Also do you know any really good noise cancelling headphones

I have razer

They are decent but not the best

Ok

Just think about this: deaf people don't know if they have coil whine and never will

Alr ty

Ok

Ok

How am I getting 250 fps on gta

[tawny fiber]

gta 5?

tf

that game is engine limited at around 180fps

[potent portal]

I mentioned before, it can get louder when you're at very high fps. Turn on vsync and it might help.

[torpid sorrel]

Ok

[thorny flint]

wait my gigabyte b550m d3sh mobo on the box says its ryzen 5000 ready, does that mean i dont have to update bios?

[torpid sorrel]

What cpu?

Ryzen what

Like 7000?

What series are you using basically

[thorny flint]

ryzen 5600

[cyan ravine]

not all ryzen 5000 work out of the box

[thorny flint]

wdym

[cyan ravine]

5600 is one of those, needs a bios update to work

[cyan ravine]

they didn't all release the same time

5600 came out a lot later

[thorny flint]

ohh ok

also yes my mobo has a q flahs button so i can update iwthout older cpu

[cyan ravine]

oh there you go

nice

[torpid sorrel]

No my x570 from Asus was ready right out of the box

[thorny flint]

oh

[torpid sorrel]

I have the same cpu btw

[thorny flint]

idk what should i do then?

should i just contact gigabyte?

[torpid sorrel]

Just try it I think it will work with the bios

Idk tho

Not an expery

[cyan ravine]

probably a newer one shipped with a newer bios

[torpid sorrel]

Expert

[thorny flint]

oh ok imma just contact gigabyte just to be sure

[torpid sorrel]

How long ago did you get yours?

Ur mobo

[thorny flint]

like yesterday

[torpid sorrel]

Oh

It prob has the bios

[cyan ravine]

flash a new bios and just go from there man

[thorny flint]

wdym by that

[cyan ravine]

set it up try boot it if no work then update bios

[thorny flint]

oh ok

ty then

[cyan ravine]

it won't break

it'll be fine by design

[thorny flint]

ok ok it just wont boot up right if not right bios?

[cyan ravine]

ye

it'll be stuck on the cpu light

[thorny flint]

ok

[torpid sorrel]

That's what my parents said when they dropped me and look how I turned out

[cyan ravine]

[thorny flint]

...

[torpid sorrel]

It's like

My parents are Linus and I'm the rtx 4090

[obsidian wigeon]

bruh

suddenly dark

[torpid sorrel]

Yes

[thorny flint]

i need my psu and then i can build my pc

it was supposed to come today but its not even shipped yet 💀

[cyan ravine]

you could honestly do all the rest before the psu if you want

[thorny flint]

how can i do that?

[cyan ravine]

just run the psu cables last and install the psu later

[thorny flint]

yea the problem with that is i dont trust myself and think i will mess up

but idk why my psu is delayed for so long

they change the date from like today to saturday

[torpid sorrel]

Where did u get it from

[thorny flint]

amazon

it hasnt like shipped yet i orderd it last wednesday

it said it was supposed to come before today

[torpid sorrel]

Order from newegg :)

No amazon

[thorny flint]

taxes

[torpid sorrel]

Where u live

[thorny flint]

i have employee discount on amazon so no tax basically

california

[torpid sorrel]

Wow

Oh yeah

[thorny flint]

mhm 10% tax goes crazy

[torpid sorrel]

That like 7.25% makes me wanna die

[thorny flint]

its 10% for me

[torpid sorrel]

Nice

[thorny flint]

yea...

[torpid sorrel]

Also never listen to me I'm the guy that bought a pc but no monitor

[thorny flint]

LMFAO

what u play on? tv?

[torpid sorrel]

I did

Robbed a friend tho

[thorny flint]

oh

lol

[torpid sorrel]

I have a 1080p Dell now

[thorny flint]

nice what hertz

[torpid sorrel]

Better then nothing

[thorny flint]

yea

[torpid sorrel]

It's like 60 I'm guessing

Idk exactly

[thorny flint]

oh ok

[cyan ravine]

wait what

you're using a 6800XT with a 1080p dell?

[torpid sorrel]

Please don't cuss me out

[thorny flint]

lmfao my monitor also bad

[cyan ravine]

you know what you must do 💀

[thorny flint]

i have a acer 75 hrtz and then my new pc gonna be getting hella fps

[torpid sorrel]

Get a job

[cyan ravine]

y'all both need to address that

lol

[thorny flint]

144 so expensive

[torpid sorrel]

I'm gonna get a 1440p curved 144hz

Is that better

[cyan ravine]

we're soon in the realm where basic iGPU's will be good for 1080p 60hz

[thorny flint]

it already is

[cyan ravine]

not entirely, 680m still doesn't hit high settings

[thorny flint]

i brought my laptop like 2 years ago for 300$ and i get 80 fps average in valorant

[torpid sorrel]

My unpopular opinion is

[thorny flint]

oh

[torpid sorrel]

The Nvidia 3 is best gpu

That my opinion

Ok I'm going to bed

[brittle tinsel]

my pc has been giving me alot of issues lately.
its getting worrying as I built this pc and havent even had it 2 years yet, however my prebuilt lasted 5 years before dying.
I am assuming it is my graphics card as I get graphics driver errors and even a boot error led for vga.
ocationally it will drop my second monitor and set windows to this screen only instead of extend.

the graphics card has had a power surge when my pc (unbeknownced to me, wasnt a proper psu)
I have gotten, system_server_exception BSODs, I am probably being senile, but I am afraid if it continues to crash and crash and crash, it will damage/corrupt things.
ever since I have moved it from the old pc to this one, which ever screen has anything as strong as youtube or higher, the screen will randomly blackscreen for a few and back on.
any ideas?

its a 1060 3gb card. I pulled it from the old system as the time of this build was when gpus were insane for price. and since, I havent been able to come up with the money for a new card.

I have some things in the works and that may change, but until then. any fixes?

also on the side, I need a cheap reliable stream pc as I want to get back into streaming. if someone could help me with a pcpartpicker

[analog hearth]

are your graphics drivers installed?

@brittle tinsel

[merry spindle]

If I were to buy a new Win 10 Pro key right now, and redeem it on a new build, will I still be eligible for a free Win 11 upgrade some time in the future?

Is there like a hard date when this will end?

Thanks

[unborn mesa]

Does anyone got a budget build list for around 1500 aud?

[mossy venture]

Was thrown together quickly on mobile so might not be perfect https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/qx3Tqm

[unborn mesa]

Better than what the dude was gonna buy

[main berry]

Good afternoon, I want to upgrade my pc. I need a motherboard a gpu and a cpu options that work together Smoothly and run max settings on any game. Budge doesn't Matter i just need options and what components work with others to avoid any bottlenecks. It would be much appreciated. Thanks

[mossy venture]

If budget doesn't matter get a 13900k with a z790 godlike and a 4090

[main berry]

Okay sounds good. Is there any other options as well. Im looking to go to AMD for cpu and gpu. Also i can tell you what i have. All im looking for is max out all settings and having more than 200 fps while playing any game. Atm i have rx580 msi. Intel core i5. Asus b250 ma motherboard. 165hz 1080p monitor.

[upper condor]

My PC has a lot of random crashes and like lags when I stream on twitch or even discord

I have a relatively good PC as well so idk why

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nb8Vgb

This is my PC, not sure if peripherals might affect it

[ripe spear]

Decent system and sounds like it could be driver issues

Also streaming requires a really good connection

[weary galleon]

5700xt notorious for driver issues

[icy crater]

My bios is not up to date sorry this is so late.

[icy crater]

I really want that to be my last result I'm terrified of doing something wrong to my pc.

[potent portal]

My last motherboard had a similar problem on an older bios version but it was fixed after an update. I highly recommend updating.

[brittle tinsel]

Yes, I keep them up to date every time one comes out.

No studio drivers, game ready drives.

My 3 brothers have the same PCs, I build all of them, mine gpu is the only one with the issue but my graphics card barely survived a surge in the last pc. All 4 PCs have 1060 3gb

[analog hearth]

it might just be an old card. my supervisor got a 1050 Ti from a friend. it was also having issues. my RX 480 (from around the same era as the 1050 Ti and 1060) has also been having issues

but I would try DDU in safe mode and reinstall just to be sure

if not, then maybe something in the BIOS that doesn’t like playing with PCIe. I think there are PCIe settings in some BIOS firmwares (if not, maybe just a BIOS update would maybe work)

but that’s all I can think of

[upper condor]

Yeah but the weird thing is that I have a really good connection. Its like gig down 400 up

[upper condor]

I've heard that but I'm using like the recommended drivers and everything so I'm not sure what could be causing it

Unless they're still just that bad

and if there was something I should upgrade to be able to stream, what would it be?

Or would I be better off selling this and buying a new system

[brittle tinsel]

I figured maybe that would be the case but before I go digging around. The issue only started in the last 3-4 months after it has been in use about a year and a half.

The mobo is the b550 msi tomahawk

[blazing oyster]

Does the MSI MPG Z590 GAMING PLUS ATX LGA1200 Motherboard support a E typed m.2 pcie wifi card

[ripe spear]

With AMD for GPU's recommended isn't always good that is why they include optional

[upper condor]

Yeah I tried the optional and it seemed the exact same if not worse ngl. Could other drivers do stuff? I havent really changed any drivers besides GPU since I built it like 2.5 years ago

[ripe spear]

Check your bios if it is up to date

[upper condor]

I have not changed those since I got my PC lol

[ripe spear]

You mean updated?

[upper condor]

Yeah

Does it need a flash drive?

I think I didn't wanna just cause I couldnt find one 😭

[ripe spear]

You can use a flash drive to update it

Some MB companies does allow to start the update in the OS and then restart into the bios but no idea what MB company you're using

[upper condor]

It's MSI I think

Are bios important?? I have some from 2020 I think

And is there a video tutorial you'd recommend?

If that's possible

[ripe spear]

It is important for certain things to work well

Lets take bearded msi board as an example which there is an update here for windows 11 support

Or this one as an example for better memory compatibility

[upper condor]

Oh

I'm on windows 11 lol

And I don't think I have that one

Is there a place I can check?

[ripe spear]

I am using his board as an example

[upper condor]

Oh yeah

I lost all my PC knowledge 😭

[potent portal]

Very, it's only the connection point of everything to everything

[ripe spear]

You'd have to go on your MB manufacture to find out and also without restarting your system you can do this https://youtu.be/elt1QaaoEhQ

[upper condor]

Imma get a flash drive and update my bios lol thanks for the help y'al

[ripe spear]

Find out what version you're on first

[upper condor]

I know I'm on 1 of 2

I'll check as soon as I can

[potent portal]

If you can grab a screenshot of the main bios page you can find out very quickly and we can link the latest version for your model

[upper condor]

I know my MB and everything

[potent portal]

Ah good

You're ahead of about half the people here I think

[upper condor]

I was active here like 2 years ago but once I got my PC fully working I thought it was a waste of time lmao

I built my pc but I probably did something wrong cause I was pretty dumb

@ripe spear@potent portal

That seems to be my bios lol

[dapper fern]

Anyone can recommend me a good gaming monitor for 4k maybe 144hz or more I own a Samsung odyssey g7a something it’s 4k 144hz and it’s just bad in every way bad colors tried calibrating it a lot I can’t get accurate colors it looks washed out

[potent portal]

Only 3 years out of date lol. Lots of fixes have been done in that time.

[winter condor]

no but I can recommend you getting a 5080ti, leaks are good 👀

[potent portal]

Sadly not all of the Odyssey line are good. Maybe half of them are, and they're not worth what they cost. I'll dig up a couple recommendations.
What features do you need specifically?

And what budget?

[dapper fern]

2k is fine maybe or 1k

[upper condor]

Yeah haha 😆 I just needa find a flash drive IG

[dapper fern]

I just want good colors and hdr not dark spots

Mostly watch movies in 4k and game at 4k I have a 3080ti 5950x

[potent portal]

Ok so you probably want OLED, what size?

[dapper fern]

28 is fine

144hz or 240

Just something good no problems like that bad odyssey bad experiences

I tried every setting possible it just looks washed out

Still new too has the plastic tape and stuff on it

[potent portal]

That sounds like one of the bad models, they used a cheap backlight

[dapper fern]

It is I sent it twice for repair first time they said they fixed it run a full test all good lol came back to me same problems second time they said they did a complete lcd screen replacement lol

And same thing wasn’t even replaced

It has dead pixels dark spots screen is just hello

Yellow

They lying to me they didn’t change anything

Not a single screw looks scratched

[potent portal]

This one looks like it'll fit your needs. 4k, good HDR, good out of the box color accuracy, 160Hz, 27".
OLED would be ideal but those start around 40".
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gp950-b

I'd hate to recommend another Odyssey after your experience but these Neos are great for HDR gaming.
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g8-s32bg85
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75

[dapper fern]

let me check it if you have more do send it to me plz i will ready every word

[potent portal]

Here's a more complete list including relative ratings of each for the categories you mentioned.

[dapper fern]

thank you so much i will look at them now

what does Low contrast and poor black uniformity. mean

i guess they all have their pros and cons which really confuses me as to what to go with they all really great monitors like the features in them

[weary galleon]

unless you're picky about certain things, any of the highly rated monitors will work great for you

[dapper fern]

gotcha and yes i am sorta picky

what do you think of this one https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m28u

[potent portal]

Contrast ratio refers to the difference between the brightest white and darkest black on the screen at the same time. Black uniformity refers to how even the blacks look, and is mostly affected by the backlight. Both of these are weaknesses of the IPS panel type, and OLED excels at almost everything except brightness but they're typically much larger.

[dapper fern]

ohh i see that explains it

should buy LG 27GP950-B

do you recommend a better option

The LG 27GP950-B is an impressive gaming monitor, and one of the few currently available that support HDMI 2.1, making it an especially great choice for console gamers. It doesn't stand out much for PC gamers, though, so if you're not interested in console gaming, there are better choices available.

man i have a headache from reading lol

[brittle tinsel]

could someone help me out a bit here?
I have browsed pc part picker for lists and havent found really anything close to what I am looking for.
I want to build a stream pc to throw a capture card in, stream 720p
some of the streaming builds I did look at, all have 30 series cards. as far as I am aware, as it is for just streaming. from my gaming pc. it doesnt need a high end gpu, or one at all if it has IGPU correct?

could someone make a part list for me?

Im not worried about looks, it wont be shown off or anything like that. I dont even have RGB in my pc.

[potent portal]

Personally given a budget like yours I'd go with the Neo G8. It's a little bigger than you asked for but it's got everything you want and more for $1300.

[dapper fern]

problem is desk isnt too big

its a secret lab desk the 800 one

this Samsung one i have already taken half lol

[potent portal]

Well finding 4k at 27", especially good ones, is a bit of a challenge. The really good ones start at 32" which is much more reasonable of a size for 4k anyway.

Unless you're only a few inches from the screen the human eye can't tell the difference between 1440p and 4k at that 27" size anyway.

[dapper fern]

yeah i understand i guess i will keep reading but if you were to say buy this i would no problem but which one do you recommend mostly at a 28 or something

i can make room i think get rid of the boom arm speakers

[potent portal]

If you want to stick to 27-28" then I'd go with the LG or the M28U

The M28U has great color calibration out of the box

[dapper fern]

lg it is i don't see any other options really lol reddit people seem to say worth it

[weary galleon]

those streaming builds are probably meant for both playing games and streaming off of at the same time

[dapper fern]

i guess there is no perfect monitor out there that doesn't have cons

[potent portal]

Correct, some features are mutually exclusive just based on currently available tech. You can't have better of one thing without sacrificing something else.
They're working on smaller size OLED right now which is the current best type, but it's at least a year away. They just put out a 13" one.

[dapper fern]

ohh thats cool but i might just buy this i will do some more readings after lol this is kinda hard

but i made up my mind i think

[potent portal]

Yes the monitor rabbit hole is VERY deep

Good to take a break from it

[dapper fern]

indeed man

now they saying it has a glow in the corner

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz11s5HDj-I&t=104s

[potent portal]

That'll vary by sample, backlights are rather inconsistent

[dapper fern]

this from reddit

ughh i hate monitors lol i need or make my own but no experience invite people ask them what they want and build it based on their answers

[potent portal]

Some people that actually do have the skills have tried that with mixed results

Firmware especially is a difficult thing with monitors, it can take a dedicated team just for that

[dapper fern]

yeah i see i didn't finish my coding courses left mid way lol

[brittle tinsel]

I figured as much, is it true a stream pc doesnt need dedicated gpu?

[weary galleon]

I know next to nothing about stream PCs

[brittle tinsel]

ah.

[weary galleon]

All i do know is that with newer hardware a separate stream PC often isn't necessary

[brittle tinsel]

im trying to find just a budget build to get me back into it at 720p as the internet isnt the best here. then after I get the office setup a few months down the road. ill upgrade the stream pc. so just trying to find something cheap for now

[potent portal]

Do you mean one that's a separate PC from the gaming rig that controls the stream in case the game/PC crashes?

[brittle tinsel]

yeah, a 2pc setup

I already have a gaming rig

and I if I need a gpu, I do have a rx 570 in a box somewhere. but I cant stand amd gpus. the drivers always give me issues

[potent portal]

You could get away with using an Intel iGPU for 720p sure

It would have to be a fairly recent, midrange one though

Like the one on the 11500

[ruby raven]

I want to upgrade ssd to a wd black sn850x 2tb on a predator 300 315 55 95ns laptop will it fit

[potent portal]

Which predator 300? Triton or Helios?

[brittle tinsel]

how does something like this look?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/httZv3

yes. I am aware the case is a bit much and that power supply is maybe a little over the top. I plan on keeping those once I do upgrade the machine

[potent portal]

This PSU has been on great sales lately https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SL9NFVS

pcpp shows out of stock but it's in stock

[little osprey]

What's the difference between Japanese capacitors and American ones?

Why are those so special?

[leaden mauve]

it's basically just marketing at this point

[worn wave]

They generally are much higher quality.

These are all great capacitor brands.

Many of them are Japanese.

[potent portal]

Typically Japanese caps are rated for 105-110C and cheaper ones are rated 95C. It can affect the life span of the capacitor but not in any meaningful way, you'll upgrade long before it's a problem.

[stoic island]

It's less "buy this because it's Japanese", it's more "buy this because it's higher quality and rated for 105c"

[dapper fern]

only freesync in stock

in amazon

i will probably go with the LG one they did say there are better options you see real 4k when you buy a 32inch

don't they have one 32inc for that LG or something else

[potent portal]

Modern Freesync is Gsync, they're cross compatible

[dapper fern]

Oh really

So the one on Amazon it says only freesync does it have both or it’s a different model

[potent portal]

There is no true gsync anymore. The required module for that caused the monitors to fail idle power certification for sale in several states. Gsync now just means "nvidia is fairly sure it'll work with the freesync". Lack of the gsync branding only means nvidia didn't test it.

[dapper fern]

Uhhh I see

[violet garnet]

@brittle tinsel Be aware, the ROG riser is built to the 3.0 specifications.

[zenith cargo]

bruh why is my ram usage high on id;e

idle*

44% 💀

I barely have anything running

[cyan ravine]

Still plenty for any GPU that's currently out even a 4090.
Also why a 10 day later reply? 💀

[potent portal]

Define "barely anything", something like a browser would use a lot

[violet garnet]

Have you heard of the 'Ten day waiting period?'

[cyan ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-darth-plagueis-anakin-star-wars-gif-11720001

[brittle tinsel]

tf is a rog riser? I think you may have pinged the wrong person

whats a good cheap power supply that meets the needs of this build? im not looking for one that has room for upgrades. just fits the needs of this system and then I can worry about the rest later.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bpQrnt

[stoic island]

xpg pylon 450w

[brittle tinsel]

are those safe? the psu I had in my last system all most caused a house fire. fortnately I had just got home and sat down when sparks started flying

[stoic island]

it's a decent PSU, it should be safe

[brittle tinsel]

alright, thanks!

[gentle pollen]

Are any 1200w 3.0 PSUs out yet?

[potent portal]

@brittle tinsel CX450 is good too https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q7L7YJ/corsair-cx-2017-450w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-cp-9020120-na

[cyan ravine]

you don't need 3.0 native. It's just a plug

[potent portal]

You also don't need 1200W even when overclocking

[cyan ravine]

they also cost a fair bit more from what I've seen

[potent portal]

4090 doesn't spike nearly as bad as the 3090 did

[cyan ravine]

the platform and draw are still the same, it's just a different plug

like an american wall plug compared to a european one

[gentle pollen]

Figured I'd future proof and just get like a 1200w 3.0 and kinda like reuse it for 5 years or so.

[cyan ravine]

adapters will do fine

just not the nvidia one

in fact, I trust custom adapter solutions for bending more than the native 12vhpwr connector

[potent portal]

Well there is this one but OOS https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-toughpower-gf3-series-ps-tpd-1200fnfagu-4-1200w/p/N82E16817153436

[cyan ravine]

you also have msi Aip

but expensive af

I can get 2 equally good 1650W's for one 1300W MSI

[potent portal]

"Future Proof" isn't a good reason btw. It's not possible for the 3.0 connector to draw more than 600W.

[gentle pollen]

I am gonna stick with 3.0. now are there any issues with that thermaltake PSU cause for $30 more I'd get that over the MSI A1000 3.0 PSU.

[cyan ravine]

lol

[potent portal]

Nothing bad I've heard, they had the GF3 already and just added a 12+4 plug to it.

[gentle pollen]

Ahh gotcha.

[cyan ravine]

there are corsair power supplies that are ATX 2.0 that are better performing with an adapter than ATX 3.0 PSUs

[potent portal]

Corsair adapter is out right? It was the super thick gauge one with 2x8 to 12+4 right?

[stoic island]

I mean that's just dependent on the PSU

[cyan ravine]

ye it's out of stock all over the place tho

[stoic island]

AX1600i beats everything

[cyan ravine]

ye

to me 3.0 isn't worth investing in. It's just a plug and they seem to charge extra just for a plug

[potent portal]

AMD won't even be using it. They can still get away with a dual 8 pin on their 350W 7900 XT.

[gentle pollen]

I'd rather go 3.0 with extra wattage for the headroom and just be safe then sorry.

[cyan ravine]

I've seen a 3x8 so I'm not convinced that it's a 2x8 necessarily yet

[potent portal]

Oh I'm sure it's triple 8 but they CAN do dual, the triple is just for overclocking room

[cyan ravine]

again, it's just a plug. no extra safety, no extra headroom

it's just a plug

it's like the difference between usb c and usb a

[gentle pollen]

The plug also offers communication between GPU to PSU doesn't it?

[potent portal]

Sort of but not really

[cyan ravine]

not really no

[potent portal]

All the extra 4 pins do is announce the wire exists and how much power it's rated for

[cyan ravine]

sense pins are preconfigured so not really any communication, it can also be modded for an invalid power amount

[gentle pollen]

Hmmm.

[potent portal]

Yeah I find that rather amusing. It's easy to jump a pin and turn a 300W into a a 600W

[cyan ravine]

yeah, it's a deterrent but nothing stopping someone from still bypassing it

[stoic island]

shunt mod 2.0

[cyan ravine]

lol true

example @gentle pollen
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bRXJ7P/msi-mpg-a1000g-1000-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-mpg-a1000g

$40 more for a plug

a good adapter will cost less than that

you could even do a sleeved adapter which would look better if you know where to look

[leaden mauve]

well.....

[potent portal]

Well what? You want to get technical don't you?

Most people don't put kW vbios on a 3090 while running a 13900k at 400W

[leaden mauve]

well...

[stoic island]

case study: forky

probably near 1000w from just quad opteron and all the ddr3 dimms

[gentle pollen]

You guys are certain there aren't any cable concerns with a 2.0 PSU?

[stoic island]

the concern comes from the adapter

bad adapter? things go bad

[gentle pollen]

Wouldn't a 3,0 psu solve that then?

[cyan ravine]

for a normal person no'

[potent portal]

Certain ones appear to have bad quality control and design but most are fine

[leaden mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/ravenous-gif-8461579

[potent portal]

It's mostly the early adopters that are having issues, that got the first run of cables that are extra fragile. Jay tested one and tried his hardest to melt it and couldn't.

[stoic island]

its like spend 40$ on a psu with the connector
or
spend 20$ on a decent adapter

[cyan ravine]

only truly bad adapter we've seen is the nvidia one. Bequiets 12vhpwr iirc comes loose very easily too and that's native

[stoic island]

It definitely works if you get atx 3.0 psu

its just expensive

[cyan ravine]

the best adapter is probably the corsair one but that's for corsair psu's

[gentle pollen]

I saw that vid.

I mean if it avoids the clutter and most importantly risk of getting a bad adapter I'd rather pay a premium and be safe then risk being sorry.

[cyan ravine]

the 3.0 native isn't totally safe either tho

[potent portal]

There's adapter cables that don't have any clutter at all because they plug straight into the PSU

Corsair for example

[cyan ravine]

2.0 is arguably more safer in the current execution than 3.0 due to 2.0's redundancy

3.0 will eventually be safer, but not rn

[potent portal]

Yeah we're very much in the growing pains phase of new tech

Thanks nvidia for solving a problem that wasn't a problem until you made it one

[cyan ravine]

FSP has a diagram of proper cable behaviour with the new connector

lemme fetch it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448544060714778627/1036937888706859008/unknown.png

[obsidian wigeon]

cable go melt

[cyan ravine]

We already know this issue, but they demonstrate it even on the PSU side that it's just not a good idea to flex it

[obsidian wigeon]

soldering is the problem tbh

crimping proved to be safer

[cyan ravine]

that's the adapter tho

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

not for psu side

[cyan ravine]

ye

[gentle pollen]

hmmm.

[potent portal]

It's A problem but not necessarily THE problem, true cause is still under investigation

[gentle pollen]

Is the flex as big as problem on 3.0?

[obsidian wigeon]

nope

[potent portal]

No*

[obsidian wigeon]

hm, whelp

[cyan ravine]

not as bad as specifically the nvidia adapter

[obsidian wigeon]

^

nvidia adapter is a legitimate fire hazard

[cyan ravine]

custom adapters we haven't heard reports of issues yet

hell I'm seeing people mod their own and they do a better job

[obsidian wigeon]

lol

[cyan ravine]

it's true tho lol

[obsidian wigeon]

with peaks better than 3090/3090ti im surprised they went with this route

coulda still use 3x8 pin

easily

[cyan ravine]

nvidia's oem did such a cockamamy rig of it it's actually garbage

[potent portal]

Some of them we have actually, there's many reddit threads

[obsidian wigeon]

i rather have 3 8pin

instead of this fire hazard from nvidia

[potent portal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/yexxqp/16_pin_connector_melted_in_4090_tuf_asus/

Oh actually they have a whole megathread now https://new.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/ydh1mh/16_pins_adapter_megathread

[cyan ravine]

yeah I'm looking at the megathread

ah

@potent portal they were using a zalman psu with a corsair adapter

that might count for something there...lol

[potent portal]

fail

[potent portal]

Although maybe zalman uses the same design as the corsair type 4

[cyan ravine]

they might but also, pinouts the wrong way could definitely give off high heat or resistance

or more importantly kill the card but anyway

[potent portal]

SCP will keep it from being permanently damaged (hopefully)

[cyan ravine]

so cablemod said there that they don't offer any support officially for Zalman

that's a false positive then

[analog pulsar]

Zalman sounds sus

[cyan ravine]

interesting

the moddiy custom cable appears to have better pinout quality

[dapper fern]

Found this 32inch

2 reviews on Amazon

Read the description it almost convinced me lol but I will need to look it up on see if people recommend this or not

[frigid night]

Rtings.com

[jagged ember]

With two whole Amazon reviews? I dunno about that one chief

But rtings.com will help

[limber oyster]

Btw, Asus ROG monitors, are usually overpriced

And this is coming from an Asus fan

[viscid perch]

Anyone know if the intel B560 motherboard is compatible with any of the i7/i9 processors?

[spice swallow]

What case would y'all recommend to fit a 3080 with an aio in that not insanely expensive so i can do a second build in to move my old pc parts

[frigid night]

Yes. 10th and 11th gen cpus. As far as overclocking those cpus.. I don't believe so. You can however overclock the RAM.

[frigid night]

Define what is insanely expensive to you. I myself would suggest a Corsair 4000D Airflow.

[viscid perch]

Thank you, still debating if I wanna upgrade to Ryzen 9 cpu or stick with the current motherboard and just get a i9

[frigid night]

what gen ryzen 9?

[viscid perch]

4th gen

[frigid night]

how come?

[mossy venture]

7900x?

Also what's the current mobo

Oh b560

I would suggest going 13th gen if you're going to upgrade, am5 isn't worth it

[frigid night]

I almost wanna say if, going for a new build, to just go 13th gen

[mossy venture]

Or waiting for am5 x3d

[frigid night]

What Bacca said XD

[mossy venture]

For case, 4000d/5000d airflow, g360a, p500a, deep cool whatever it is 560

[viscid perch]

I can wait for 13th gen

[mossy venture]

Pretty much any lian li case that has a mesh front and isn't over $150

[mossy venture]

It's alr out

If you're gaming, I would go for the 13600k or 13700k

The 13900k is maybe 3% better in gaming than the 13600k, not worth the jump

[frigid night]

I think 13600k would be plenty

heck the 12600k is plenntyyy

[viscid perch]

I just upgraded to the kraken z73 liquid cooler too

[mossy venture]

13600k fine for a 4090 at 1440p

[mossy venture]

You alr buy it?

If not, Lian li galahad or lf2 better and cheaper

[viscid perch]

Yea, but haven’t opened it

[mossy venture]

How much was it?

Like $200?

[viscid perch]

$280

[mossy venture]

Personally I would

[viscid perch]

On Amazon

[mossy venture]

Lian li galahad is a bit more than half the price

And performs better

Just no lcd screen

Assuming you want white anyways

Liquid freezer ii is even cheaper and better

Thanks neo

[viscid perch]

I did only get it cause if the lcd screen lol

[frigid night]

I would return it and get a Lian Li Galahad.

Especially since you have not opened it yet. Save yourself a few bucks to put towards something else in your system

[fossil cedar]

Or deepcool ls720

[frigid night]

[jagged ember]

Ew kraken aio

Return it lol

Good thing you didn't open it

Yo

[viscid perch]

It does looks nice

Goes with the NZXT H7 flow I have

[jagged ember]

Yeah, I guess

But the Galahad looks better

Imo

[viscid perch]

Although I like the y 60 case

[frigid night]

Galahad looks noice. Especially white

[jagged ember]

H7 flow with the toilet bowl?

[viscid perch]

Yea I meant the lian li lol

[obsidian wigeon]

that's h5

h5 is the toilet bowl case

[jagged ember]

Oh sorry I don't pay attention to Nzxt lol

Toilet bowl fun if you spill water in it

[frigid night]

you ever dumped a 5 gallon bucket of water into your toilet bowl?

serious question

[jagged ember]

Uh, no

I ain't ever taken a dump of that volume

I think I might die

But yeah I haven't thrown 5 gallons of water in

[frigid night]

If you pour it into the bowl fast enough.. your toilet will flush itself lol

[jagged ember]

Oh no I've done that

But with less water I think

[frigid night]

well yeah. I guess I didn't mean a full 5 gallon bucket.

[viscid perch]

I’m curious everyone prefer intel or ryzen? And why?

[jagged ember]

Intel just for better value

[mossy venture]

Neither, just at this point intel has better price/perf

If the next time I'm buying a cpu amd is better value, I'll buy an amd cpu

[frigid night]

They all lyin. We are all Intel Shills here.

Only @frank stirrup shills AMD.

It's ok though because he's wrong.

[molten flume]

Will Newegg's pc build help me assemble my computer?

[frank stirrup]

CLEARLY SUPERIOR

[empty pollen]

Newegg's pc build?

first time i heard about that department

[frigid night]

Newegg used to offer to put the PC together for $100 if you bought a whole builds worth of parts.

[potent portal]

That service was discontinued last I checked

[dapper fern]

Unable to find the correct model

[frigid night]

1 of 2 things.

1. They haven't gotten it to test it.
2. It's crap so they didn't bother testing it.

I'm gonna go with 2.

[dapper fern]

Yes probably I couldn’t find the correct model it’s just those idk they don’t have that model

Even in google they don’t have the full model name listed lol

https://www.techtoyreviews.com/asus-pg32uqr-price-in-usa-specs-release-date/

I found it in other site

It’s like they getting paid to say best a lot

[earnest olive]

ABS

[dapper fern]

Reddit people seem to have problems with it

Man idk what to do every monitor review I read has many problems

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive nzxt is good now so buy it

[agile sail]

Hi! I need help with my pc build. I just built a pc for the first time and tried installing windows, however after realized that my pc does not seem to be finding any wifi networks, and I also don't have any access to ethernet. I tried getting a USB wifi adapter, but that doesn't seem to work as I need to install the driver, which I can't do without setting up my windows. What do I do so I can use wifi on my pc and finish setting it up?

[worn wave]

Still a pretty expensive case especially with no RGB fans.

Then again near Fractal Torrent performance for that price.

I need to watch the GN video still.

[frigid night]

download the drivers on your phone then plug phone into the pc and transfer the drivers over then install. OR plug your phoine into PC and turn on tethering to give your PC internet and then install the drivers.

[agile sail]

idk if I can use my phone but i tried downloading the driver on an external hard drive and that didn't work

[earnest olive]

did you really just send the same question twice 12 minutes apart

[worn wave]

I/O sad in my opinion.

It's just so nice to have multiple USB type A ports on the front panel

[frigid night]

try using your phone.

[analog pulsar]

It's "okay"

But all there H5 cases came like that only way to get 2 USB is with h710 or H7

[rich void]

Well that's still like 155+ at that point since it's what a $95 case plus $60 in fans

[floral path]

Hey how does 4 x 4669 v3 compare to a 5950x? Considering the price which is a better buy?

[potent portal]

For what workload?

And do you care how much power it uses? Because 4x E5 will use about 5x the power at full load

[reef moss]

Whats the best 100$ gpu

asking for a friend

[potent portal]

Something used

It'll depend on your local market

[reef moss]

Something new I mean haha

like maybe a Radeon 6600?

or a 1660 super

[potent portal]

Yeah well under $100 you're looking at a GT 1030 at best

[stoic island]

Not gonna be able to find those for 100$ new

[reef moss]

Found one

165

[potent portal]

... and that's not 100

[reef moss]

Yeahhhh

[stoic island]

6600 starts at like 220$

1660 super prices are wack because it's too old

[stoic island]

Is there any more context to this?

If it's like a 600$ build you can probably get more budget to the GPU

[potent portal]

Could get an A380 for $140

[reef moss]

he only needs a gpu

but he only has like 180

[floral path]

Programming and compiling. Simulations etc and 3d rendering. Power isn’t a concern, how do they compare in raw calculations?

[reef moss]

Acxtually

someone make a 600$ build for this man lol

ima tell him to sell his 2013 pc

for like 450-500

I also have a 2013

but his is a Acer 💀

[weary galleon]

There's a $210 3060 rn

[potent portal]

Multiply the E5 score by about 3.5 for a quad socket. It doesn't scale perfectly, and the programs MUST be NUMA-aware to use more than one physical socket. Single core the 5950X will win no matter what.
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/2678vs3862/Intel-Xeon-E5-4669-v3-vs-AMD-Ryzen-9-5950X

[reef moss]

If someone would make this dude a $600 part list I would appreciate that. Its strictly for gaming

ill be back here for myself in like 2 more weeks for a $1800 build for me

[leaden mauve]

@floral path I assume you'd be using a prebuilt system if you went for the quad socket xeon setup like a rackmount?

[floral path]

Yeah the Hp Proliant line

[leaden mauve]

four of those chips would easily beat a 5950X in multicore, so if that's primarily what you need, and dont care about power but just compute performance, i'd say go for it. Used LGA2011-3 quad socket servers might be a little pricey though. I havent checked their pricing in a while

[weary galleon]

GPU is a placeholder, grab this while it's in stock
https://www.newegg.com/yeston-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-rtx-3060ti/p/1FT-007N-00069?

[floral path]

Last thing the system cost as much as the 13900k Raptor Lake. Would it still be a better purchase there?

[leaden mauve]

which system? and are you saying it costs as much as a 13900k alone? im confused by your wording

mb dont go for those FC servers

[floral path]

Hp Proliant full build 4 x Xeons. Or 13900k? Are the latest cpu doing anything different that would make them better then 4 cpus?

[leaden mauve]

the xeons destroy the 13900k and 5950x in raw multicore performance

[floral path]

Nice

Thanks

[reef moss]

ill send it to him

Thank you

[leaden mauve]

Those quad socket lga2011-3 proliants are pretty overpriced though

[weary galleon]

consider a used cpu/mobo or case if you need to lower the price further 👍

[reef moss]

Awesome!

[spice swallow]

Not trying to stay under 150

[stuck gyro]

anyone think they could help me get my graphics card in my pc?

[weary galleon]

like install it?

[stuck gyro]

yeah nvm i couldnt figure out how to remove the panel that blocks the hdmi plugin

i got it though

[dapper fern]

can someone explain this to me plz

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is a fantastic gaming monitor with a bunch of features and the 4k resolution and 240Hz refresh rate make it future-proof once high-frame-rate 4k games are available. It has better local dimming than most monitors and it delivers a satisfying HDR experience. However, there are too many issues for a premium monitor, so if you're willing to sacrifice picture quality for a worry-free gaming experience

this part

However, there are too many issues for a premium monitor, so if you're willing to sacrifice picture quality for a worry-free gaming experience

is it saying bad picture quality in normal use and in gaming good

[little osprey]

hello everyone

im in need of a build at $50,000 MXN (about 2.5K usd). high fps in titles like apex, fortnite, call of duty, etc.

it needs to be able to include monitor, keyboard and mouse

and ship to mexico city

[cyan ravine]

unless you know you'll be buying the next greatest graphics card in 2 years or more likely 4 years to use a monitor like that, I wouldn't bother

4K at 32" doesn't make a lot of sense outside of productivity

were it me? I'd wait for a sale on the Gigabyte FV43U, it can go as low as $700

big 43" with a KVM, QLED

or alternatively go with M32Q/Q-P/Q-X

[dapper fern]

is it good in picture quality or hdr games movies

[cyan ravine]

more importantly do you have the system to run that sort of thing

[dapper fern]

i have a 5950x and a 3080 ti

[cyan ravine]

not enough

4K60 you could do quite well

but not 240Hz

not even a 4090 could realistically achieve that in a large majority of games

[dapper fern]

doesn't have to be that much it can be 144hz or 165

[cyan ravine]

ya well FV43U is 144Hz and much bigger

and cheaper

it's a bit steep for a 3080 Ti tho

[dapper fern]

i ready many reviews on rting site I'm overwhelmed lol

[cyan ravine]

I would rather a 1440p screen for 3080Ti

[dapper fern]

i have a 1080p and 1440p and a 4k

but bad

idk whats wrong with it

looking for a better one

[cyan ravine]

bad 4K?

ah

[dapper fern]

its this one

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/28-odyssey-g7-qhd-led-gaming-monitor-ls28ag700nnxza/

[cyan ravine]

G70 is different to G8 lol

also hard pass

[dapper fern]

thats the one i have right now and using

[cyan ravine]

that one should be good tho? it's just expensive af compared to M32Q

[dapper fern]

idk whats wrong with it its bad picture quality even in hdr and non very low brightness even at 100 the color modes are the worst

they look washed out

[little osprey]

oh my did I start this or is this a side thing?

[dapper fern]

screen looks yellow

[cyan ravine]

yellow?

[dapper fern]

i sent it for samsung repair twice lol

[little osprey]

your luck sucks

i dunno

[cyan ravine]

maybe poor factory settings on it
