[cyan ravine]

And then pump all that extra you had in mind on 7900XT/XTX

You just gotta wait for reviews rn

The only thing we aren't sure of rn is driver reliability

Won't know until it's out

It's also a compact design, should fit in the focus 2 without a problem

[analog pulsar]

I mean do you wanna get a b660 mobo

[cyan ravine]

You could? If you want to

[analog pulsar]

It just would feel weird to put on a k process but not like they have non k

[cyan ravine]

Non K isn't far away

[analog pulsar]

So there coming out with them

[cyan ravine]

So you could also do that if you can wait

Yeah they definitely will

Hmm lets take a look

You'll have to have the 12100 with the new board before you sell the cpu tho cos you need to bios update

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dsFbt6/msi-mag-b660m-bazooka-ddr4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-mag-b660m-bazooka-ddr4

[analog pulsar]

why are they all so small

[cyan ravine]

More budget - less unnecessary stuff

To a point

[analog pulsar]

well i wanted tgo get mobo with at least 2-3 ssd slots

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8ncG3C/gigabyte-z790-ud-ac-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-ud-ac this is z790

but its ddr5

[cyan ravine]

3 m.2
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3pNxFT/asrock-z690-pro-rs-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z690-pro-rs

And could handle a 13600K

Cheap tho, but should handle it

[analog pulsar]

i dont mean to be "picky" but i just dont personally like mobo that dont have sheilds around the io

looks weird

[cyan ravine]

[analog pulsar]

[cyan ravine]

This was the norm only a couple years ago

[analog pulsar]

no smoking its bad

like this is fine but its also small maybe i can look at ebay for a used mobo

this doesnt seem broken

[cyan ravine]

Says read

Something happened

Lol

[analog pulsar]

Motherboard is fully functional and boots up to Operating System. Motherboard does not have on-board video, external video card will be needed. Item is used, so please expect to see signs of normal wear and tear. Please look at pictures for a better reference. Any heavy damage will be pointed out or zoomed in within photos.

AHHHHH trhis is master mobo

[weary galleon]

I'd guess those clips are pretty easy to replace

But $170 for a broken board ain't worth it imo

[analog pulsar]

Fully Functional but missing M.2 Screw sets and Jrainbow pin is broken - May have some signs of previous use/dust - All accessories included are seen in the images - Box is damaged - What you see on the listing is what you will receive

[paper summit]

i mean you dont realy need the clips

[analog pulsar]

my OCD

[paper summit]

idk man that cable management sais otherwise

[analog pulsar]

i have selective OCD

[potent portal]

🧊

For that burn

[analog pulsar]

only certain things bother me

@cyan ravine i mean we can spend $200 on mobo but i can reuse ram

[potent portal]

That's not OCD then

[analog pulsar]

it started as a child mom said

just gotten very weak now

boxes affect me if they arnt placed right

[cyan ravine]

[analog pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LtjBD3/gigabyte-z790-aorus-elite-ax-ddr4-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-aorus-elite-ax-ddr4

[cyan ravine]

But monitors halfway off the desk

[analog pulsar]

NO its nopt

Look

[cyan ravine]

• shows me again to set off my OCD *

[analog pulsar]

i really like the z790

how are amd mobos

like 5000 series

[cyan ravine]

That price is ewww

[potent portal]

Not worth it right now for AMD

[cyan ravine]

Also no no 5000

[analog pulsar]

why not 5000 series

[potent portal]

7000X3D coming soon, it'll blow away the current best 5800X3D by a lot in about 2 months

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine just look at master being $500

[analog pulsar]

hm

[cyan ravine]

200 is as far as you should go for a board

Anymore and it's truly a money sink

[potent portal]

Plus AM4 is essentially a dead platform and no better than if you just upgraded your cpu to a 12600k

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine well facebook guy i saw just couple mins ago selling z690 elite mobo for $150

[analog pulsar]

sad its dead

[cyan ravine]

I mean if you can verify it's a perfectly fine used board go for it

I got no problem with used

[potent portal]

Same, few moving parts means less wear

[analog pulsar]

20 weeks ago

[cyan ravine]

Good for the price

Warning, eatx

[analog pulsar]

no words in bio and pfp is blank

[cyan ravine]

Then nope

[analog pulsar]

this is this 2 photos

[potent portal]

No way to tell if there's physical damage from that

[cyan ravine]

Oh wait no it's atx

[analog pulsar]

SUS

[cyan ravine]

The d5 I think is eatx

[potent portal]

Any more red flags and I'd be afraid I was in the Kremlin

[paper summit]

theres no way your about to spend 500 on an am4 mobo

or just any mobo for that matter

[analog pulsar]

i mean i sold my nzxt to a blank pfp he came and got it he was old tho so ig he just didnt use FB much

[analog pulsar]

no itys z790

[paper summit]

still

overkill

[cyan ravine]

I still can't say in good faith over the internet that all blanks are fine

[analog pulsar]

just trying to make felix have a heart attack

[paper summit]

cause i guarantee your not ocing enough to need any of the featurs of a 500 dollar mobo lol ik spelling mistakes im tired deal with it

[paper summit]

mm yes

[analog pulsar]

so i can steal the techie spot

[cyan ravine]

My energy long gone after the great 6600 debate of 94

[analog pulsar]

but what i like is m.2 latch and pcie slot

[paper summit]

pretty sure the cheaper z790s have m,2 latch..

[analog pulsar]

no

[cyan ravine]

M.2 latch is a nice meme

[analog pulsar]

lol

[cyan ravine]

Having experienced it, hell yes, love it

Wouldn't spend a penny for it

[paper summit]

i mean it is pretty but it also prob costs more than your cpu

unless your getting a 13900k lol

[cyan ravine]

Kenzie what about this

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kZPQzy/gigabyte-b660-aorus-master-ddr4-atx-lga1700-motherboard-b660-aorus-master-ddr4

[analog pulsar]

i saw that too

[cyan ravine]

You get the pretty armour and the atx size then

[analog pulsar]

also has 4 ssd slots hmmmmm

3

[paper summit]

so u have spares when you try and eat your ssd again

[analog pulsar]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[cyan ravine]

[paper summit]

never letting that go

[analog pulsar]

I can see now that it was not the best thing to do

[paper summit]

uh huh....

[analog pulsar]

we live and learn

[paper summit]

lool

[paper summit]

exept some of dont learn

like me

[analog pulsar]

ive been learning slowly

[cyan ravine]

So do this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rbvR6r

Then XTX

[analog pulsar]

new power supply tho

[cyan ravine]

Nah not for XTX

[analog pulsar]

i lost cables to it

[cyan ravine]

It's fine

Wait wha

Find themmmm

[analog pulsar]

i put them in a bag and now i cantg find it

[cyan ravine]

Go look

Look again

You'll get 100$ for it

[analog pulsar]

fine

[paper summit]

its the monstor under your bed

[cyan ravine]

The power supply spaghetti monster

[paper summit]

yea lmao

[analog pulsar]

it was at my niebors house

[potent portal]

https://tenor.com/view/fsm-spaghetti-flying-spaghetti-monster-pastafarian-gif-13529139

[analog pulsar]

64GB ram cheapo

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gRMTwP/gskill-trident-z-rgb-64-gb-2-x-32-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-64gtzr

[cyan ravine]

Nah just get the cheapo stuff for the 12100 system you sell

[analog pulsar]

are we keeping storage ?

[cyan ravine]

You don't need 64gb, you can't use that much

[analog pulsar]

OPENS STAR CITIZEN

[cyan ravine]

Sure

I believe you

[analog pulsar]

Jk 32 has been good for now

Only eat up 16GB

[cyan ravine]

Star citizening all day

Look at me I'm a star citizen

[analog pulsar]

i wanna learn it

i only play elite dangrous rn

[cyan ravine]

Elite dangerous is fun

So just use your 32gb

Then get some cheapo 16gb SP sticks for the 12100

[analog pulsar]

Can you help me price these some giver take I'm gunna take out

[cyan ravine]

I'd keep the ssd

And heck even the hdd

[analog pulsar]

yea

[cyan ravine]

Stick a 512 in there

[analog pulsar]

i dont want hard drive im gunna make my other build just ssd

[tawny fiber]

I would keep the case as well its pretty big soo never have to worry about fitting any gpus

[cyan ravine]

Well just the ssd is ok

[analog pulsar]

yea i liker it

[cyan ravine]

I liker it too

[analog pulsar]

okay that leaves cpu mobo HDD GPU case to liost

[cyan ravine]

So I think you got a decent game plan here, you just gotta bios update the board before you sell the 12100 and find your psu cables

[mossy venture]

I think that psu is the d.f

[cyan ravine]

Stick a tuf bronze 550W in the 12100 build

Or something similar

Like a superflower hx green

[mossy venture]

Def reusable

[analog pulsar]

Yea I just don't know where some cables arw

[cyan ravine]

D.F should def run a 7900XTX and 13600K

[mossy venture]

Ye

[tawny fiber]

A good 850watt will even run a 4090

[mossy venture]

Theoretically should run a 4090

[analog pulsar]

Okay I need price for this equipment

[cyan ravine]

That's fine, 600-ish

[mossy venture]

Cpu, probably $70-80

[cyan ravine]

Maybe 500

[mossy venture]

^

[cyan ravine]

Case is worth a bit on it's own tbh

[mossy venture]

12100f with a z690 is going to he hard to sell

[cyan ravine]

Maybe sell it standalone for 100

[mossy venture]

For what they're worth separately anyways

[analog pulsar]

I was gunna part out

[cyan ravine]

Then do that tbh

You'll likely get more

[analog pulsar]

thats why i asked price for each item

[cyan ravine]

12100F, 70, z690, 120, HDD, 50, GPU, 180, case, 100

[analog pulsar]

i paided $180 for the hard drive

[cyan ravine]

Fr? Keep it

Just keep it

Useful cold storage

[tawny fiber]

Tbh you can get the superior 1080ti for 180$ or a bit more if you look on ebay

[cyan ravine]

Lmfao

[analog pulsar]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[cyan ravine]

And a new 6600 is 230

[tawny fiber]

Well 1080ti performs closer to a 6600xt

[cyan ravine]

Well you could make it 160

A 6600 can perform close to a 6600 XT too if you know how to do it

/know how to cool it

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine i have question when does sata ports become not useable

[tawny fiber]

Person at question probably doesn't

[analog pulsar]

like after how many ssds insatlled

[little osprey]

sorry for talking about the gpu again but I found this gpu just like the 6600 that was reccomended to me but 6650xt for relatively cheap should I get it

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-r665xteagle-8gd/p/N82E16814932521?Item=N82E16814932521&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-w2SZyVXk0aR6A9HoAW2BWA

[cyan ravine]

That price is fine, but you really want a 6700 for your screen

[cyan ravine]

Only the last two sata slots is common on boards after the bottom m.2 is filled

[analog pulsar]

okay

[cyan ravine]

I don't really remember any other catch 22's

So you can still use the hdd

You'll have 6 slots

[analog pulsar]

yea didnt see anything here

[cyan ravine]

Or 4/8 I'm not really checking that board rn

[cyan ravine]

There you go 4

And looking at that sheet none get disabled, only the bottom pcie slot

Which tbf is a lot nicer than disabled sata

[analog pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B8MFMb

[analog pulsar]

lol im not gunna use it

yea ill have 500

[cyan ravine]

This is perfectly fine

[tawny fiber]

Where is the gpu tho

[cyan ravine]

Waiting for xtx

[tawny fiber]

I see

[analog pulsar]

i could use IGPU and be in pain

[little osprey]

Normally I don’t run of full

I don’t use all of it

[cyan ravine]

@little osprey
https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-6700-11321-02-20g/p/N82E16814202424

[desert nebula]

Is a i5 4590 good?

[cyan ravine]

Depends, for a handful of $ yes, lol

[little osprey]

for what

[little osprey]

if I run it on 1080p what would I need

[desert nebula]

For wz and mc

[little osprey]

I use it 75 hz

or 144

sometimes

[cyan ravine]

1080p 144hz is fine for 6650XT

But 1440p 144Hz is 6700 minimum

I mean

[analog pulsar]

@potent portal for a dead platform people selling cheap hahaha

[cyan ravine]

It's only 40$ more

$40 for being under par for 1440 vs acceptable 1440p performance

[tawny fiber]

Pretty good deal for a 12 core cpu with mobo combo tbh

[cyan ravine]

For a 1440p screen

[little osprey]

I’m not trying to do anything crazy so I may just go with 6650xt

[cyan ravine]

Imo 6700 is worth it

[little osprey]

I have a 1030 right now so anything is better

[tawny fiber]

3900x is nothing to scoof at

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine whats a good gpu for extrea monitors

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rtnG3C/msi-video-card-gt7101gd3hlp

[cyan ravine]

6700 has less of a tdp than the 6650XT

Just fyi lol

[little osprey]

what’s that

[cyan ravine]

Less power

[tawny fiber]

Then go with a native 1080p monitor

[little osprey]

I already have a monitor

[cyan ravine]

Just use the igpu for now

[little osprey]

1440p 144 hz

[cyan ravine]

Or 6600 until you swap

You have a gpu right there

Just sell it later lol

[tawny fiber]

Then as Felix said you wanna try for the 6700 if you can

[cyan ravine]

6700 minimum

[analog pulsar]

oh ay it comes with hdmi and display port cool

[cyan ravine]

Or use the 6600 for now still

Kenzie

Sell later

You have parts you can be dynamic

o11 dynamic

@little osprey a bit more perspective here, $40 not only for 1440p class performance but also 10% more gpu power

Actually sorry, more like 10%

Misread my source

[analog pulsar]

its fine

december is near

[tawny fiber]

The extra vram will help in higher res

[analog pulsar]

also i like xtx fir the USB type C

[little osprey]

I’ll think about it

[analog pulsar]

I can plug VR into gpu

[little osprey]

with the stuff I’m doing I just don’t think I need that extra bit

[cyan ravine]

What do you do for work?

[tawny fiber]

Is USB c a feature even my old turing card has it

[little osprey]

school

[cyan ravine]

Ah yeah, just checking

[analog pulsar]

yea some 2080 has itr i think

[cyan ravine]

Cos if you said like, video production or CAD or something big I'd immediately say 3060

[little osprey]

I’m not a adult or in college so I just need this performance for games

[cyan ravine]

Or used nvidia

[little osprey]

and maybe editing

[cyan ravine]

Light editing is fine on rdna 2

[tawny fiber]

Well some games at 1440p with a 6650xt will fall below 60fps

[little osprey]

yeah

[cyan ravine]

More to the point it'd be sad to use a 1440p screen at 1080p

[little osprey]

I don’t use 1440p

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[analog pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9Vw39r i still have this that im trying to sell

[little osprey]

I mean

Idk

[cyan ravine]

Wait hol up

@analog pulsar 2 12100 systems???

[analog pulsar]

yea something happened

[tawny fiber]

And yes 1080p on a native 1440p screen will look smeary better of using upscaling tech

[cyan ravine]

No wonder I got confused af before

You bought another i3

Reeeeeee

[analog pulsar]

i said i made mistakes

now i need to fix

i just need stuff to go back to normal like before

remember my nzxt i won

[little osprey]

Ik it would be better in the long run but

[analog pulsar]

I want to get back to something like that

[cyan ravine]

XTX will be much faster than your nzxt

[analog pulsar]

well yea

[tawny fiber]

Not in rt tho

[cyan ravine]

RT is still mostly a meme

[analog pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-in-the-face-angry-gtfo-bitc-bitch-slap-gif-15667197

@tawny fiber NOOOOOO

[cyan ravine]

I wouldn't pay an extra 600 for essentially RT and dlss 3

[tawny fiber]

The assuming numbers amd gave best we can hope is them catching upto ampere

[cyan ravine]

Hell even 200 more for RT

It's a 4080 competitor

[tawny fiber]

Ye

[cyan ravine]

It's definitely going to be worth getting

[tawny fiber]

that basically sums it up

[little osprey]

with what I’m running I don’t need the craziest specs

[cyan ravine]

Ya but most people don't understand what RT is

[analog pulsar]

fake frames

[tawny fiber]

That's dlss3

[cyan ravine]

Thx kenzie

I couldn't have asked for better support there

LOL

[little osprey]

Ik it’s only 40 bucks more but if it gets it done it’s fine with me

I’ll get it

[analog pulsar]

Haha

[cyan ravine]

People like RT, they want RT but don't know that only a handful of cards can actually run RT in a lot of games

You get randoms buying 2060's for RTX to find it tanks to sub 30 fps

[tawny fiber]

I can do decent rt but need to cope with dlss quality

[cyan ravine]

I would expect XTX to be able to beat a 3080 in RT

6900XT does match 3070

[tawny fiber]

2060 non super just gets vram starved in a lot of rt benchmarks

[cyan ravine]

So it's not the hardest goal, and that's really the floor

[tawny fiber]

The amd cards seem to have worse 1% lows even when their average might seem decent in rt

[cyan ravine]

We're arguing the moot anyway

RT is still mostly irrelevant

We're also still at only partial RT, not true RT yet

[tawny fiber]

Yeah expected to be like 3090ti like rt

[cyan ravine]

That's still reasonable

Anyway, apart from RT, and let's say DLSS 3 (Which is divisive), and CUDA, there isn't much else you're paying for bumping up $200

You're giving up a lot of fps at that too, AMD cards are gaming cards at that

[tawny fiber]

I would have pulled the plug on a Aorus master 3070ti but I do wanna try dlss3 myself

[cyan ravine]

I have a feeling most next gen nvidia are just going to be a linear line of value

So not very good

Current gen and used you'll get better bang for the buck

Heck a 3080 12gb would get you near 4070Ti performance

Linear curve? Linear line

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-r665xteagle-8gd/p/N82E16814932521 may sound stupid but this card fits in any 282mm case with aio?

[cyan ravine]

It's a 282mm card

[analog pulsar]

NZXT RAINBOW

[little osprey]

oh wait

I measured width

lmao

[little osprey]

wowwww

[little osprey]

which nzxt board is that

and case

[analog pulsar]

h710 i think and idk board

[little osprey]

I have h710i and z590 nzxt board

I need new fans though

[analog pulsar]

nice

[little osprey]

do you have a pcpartpicker list?

specify gpu

[analog pulsar]

no its on facebook

[cyan ravine]

Oops

[analog pulsar]

lol

[cyan ravine]

@little osprey how much of a budget have you got

[little osprey]

gpu?

my whole build is done

except for gpu

I have a 1030 rn

I waited out the price crisis when school started back up

[little osprey]

for gpu prob 200-300

[weary galleon]

6600/50xt or 6700xt probably your best bet

[little osprey]

yeah I’m looking at 6650xt

[cyan ravine]

How much are you looking to spend on fans?

[little osprey]

uhh

I need 4 fans

[cyan ravine]

How much do you expect to spend?

[little osprey]

for four?

[cyan ravine]

Ye

[little osprey]

idk

what is a regular price for fans?

I assume like 100?

for 4

[cyan ravine]

[little osprey]

idk

[cyan ravine]

No we can do better than 100

[little osprey]

120

[cyan ravine]

60

Hell

Lower

[little osprey]

ohhh

I thought you meant expensive

lmao

how much is a regular rgb fan

[little osprey]

I currently have a Corsair aio so something along the lines that looks like it

[cyan ravine]

4 p12's or 4 FC120's are 55 or 60.
ST120's are 40 for 3

Corsair fans will be 120

Gross price, gross performance

These are argb btw

If you don't care for argb then it goes much lower

30 for 5

Actually even 23$

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/t7WBD3/arctic-p12-563-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-acfan00135a

Best $/perf fans money can buy

Hands down

[weary galleon]

wait are those the non-pwm ones

[cyan ravine]

Oh they are? Le ouf

Ah pst has no price

Oos everywhere

Naturally

Otherwise 31$
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LmCFf7/arctic-p12-pst-563-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-acfan00137a

Weird I can add it to cart and buy it

[weary galleon]

yeah it seems to be in stock

weird that the pcpp title doesn't have PWM in it

[analog pulsar]

so out of stock

[cyan ravine]

Ya idk pcpp says oos

But amazon like nah

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine Yea but that new case I hope fits under my desk I wanna put it under the last cabinet then move monitor to the window and make that rest of the space into a little kitchen

As you can see o11 won't fit

My monitor won't either

[potent portal]

It can take time to update when things come back in stock or just went out of stock, that's why I always double check things

[lone temple]

So, im nearly completed buying everything for a new build im going to be doing, and I also want to get a new monitor that is 144hz-165hz, 2K, IPS, and low response time like 1 or 2ms. I found one on amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08ND5PHND?tag=pcp0f-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1) with those specifications that has good ratings and a better price than anything else I've found -

however, it says its got AMD freesync, but I'll be using a RTX 3080. I've found some sources that say the frersync should still be compatible with nvidia's gsync, but also have come across a couple sources that say the monitor needs to be on this list to guarantee that gsync will work properly https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/ However said monitor I found is not on that list. might it still be compatible anyway?

[potent portal]

It will still work, all the list means is nvidia tested and verified things. I've not heard of a single monitor from the last 3 years that hasn't worked. Modern gsync is just rebranded freesync because the "true" gsync monitors had a module in them that drew too much power at idle to be sold in several states.

[lone temple]

ok cool cause if i was to get somethnig that was on that list or specifically labelled with gsync then i was looking at spending like another $80 at least

[fossil cedar]

Those ones are annoying cuz dc and no daisy chain so most ppl will need hub and then no fan control:(

[cyan ravine]

Ur a fancontrol.exe

[fossil cedar]

Brrrrr?

[cyan ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/coming-helicopter-tank-flying-tank-soldier-gif-17054649

[analog pulsar]

Um ?

But I did daizy chain them 🤔

ay yes guys shutting down a pc is a system failure

[fossil cedar]

On the pwm version

Not the dc version

The dc doesn't have daisy chain

[analog pulsar]

Hm

[fossil cedar]

There is a dc version and a pwm version, the pwm has daisy chain, the dc doesn't

[analog pulsar]

@fossil cedar are you good at laptop finding?

Brothers nurse just asked me about laptops she's looking for 17 inch that can game and do school work and price isn't an issue

There's this

[obsidian wigeon]

noooo

don't get that

3080ti mobile is basically a scam

look for 3070 instead

[mossy venture]

3080 mobile is maybe 10% better than a 3070 mobile

[fossil cedar]

How much they wanna spend

[analog pulsar]

they writing it off as a business thing so they can spend any ammount

[mossy venture]

When spending $2500 I'd just make a desktop and get a decent laptop for schoolwork

[analog pulsar]

so she said just find the best of the best bc she doesnt have to pay for it

[analog pulsar]

yea but shes a nurse so desktop not an answer

[empty pollen]

seems like the moment for a 4k usd laptop

[mossy venture]

Is she going to be gaming at work...?

[analog pulsar]

she just told me money isnt an issue but wants to find a laptop that can do school work and play call of duty

[empty pollen]

i think the laptop is for him and the nurse is a made-up cover

[analog pulsar]

No

[mossy venture]

So then two separate devices

[analog pulsar]

no

she wants laptop

she got a chrome book but that cant game

[mossy venture]

Have you asked her if she would like two separate machines as that would provide a better experience?

[empty pollen]

a super laptop for call of duty? seems hard

[mossy venture]

Or did she just ask for a laptop and you're taking that as a black and white answer

[analog pulsar]

she just wants to play call of duty

[empty pollen]

she just want a gaming super laptot

[analog pulsar]

all she said is she wants 17 inch that can play call of duty and do school work and money isnt an answer

[mossy venture]

sigh

[empty pollen]

school work is just a cover, she wants a gaming laptop, that the only thing she cares

[mossy venture]

Ask her

[analog pulsar]

shes also gunna be using it for my brothers school

[mossy venture]

If she would be fine

With using a laptop for school

[analog pulsar]

shes not home

[mossy venture]

And a pc for gaming

Then ask her later?

[analog pulsar]

I dont think she wants to build a desktop as shes never home

[empty pollen]

[analog pulsar]

idk why you cant just give laptop recommendations she asked for a laptop and you guys are derailing

[empty pollen]

[mossy venture]

Kenzie

When helping someone, I make sure I am giving them the best solution to their problem

Which requires asking questions

[analog pulsar]

And like I said when I talked to her today she asked for laptop

[mossy venture]

When someone doesn't know much about technology, I offer other solutions than what they originally "want" because there are downsides they might not know of

So I make sure that they know of those downsides and other possibilities

[analog pulsar]

She's said she's gunna have laptop access to power so idk if she means both houses or what

But better for carrying then a big desktop

[mossy venture]

When you are able to, ask her if she plans on gaming when she is not at her home

[mossy venture]

And if she isn't gaming when she isn't at home

[analog pulsar]

Fine but its gunna be hours until then

[mossy venture]

Then she doesn't need a gaming laptop. She could use a work oriented laptop that would provide a better experience for that type of stuff

And a gaming desktop at home thst will have better performance for less

[analog pulsar]

Bruh

She's just gunna play call of duty

[mossy venture]

Ok?

[analog pulsar]

I'm sure a 3070 ti and 3080 ti can run that

Moblie

[mossy venture]

Yes, while being very hot and having bad battery life

[analog pulsar]

Bruh temps don't get that hot lol

[mossy venture]

My dude

[analog pulsar]

I had laptop

[mossy venture]

My 2070s laptop hit 90c in GTA

[analog pulsar]

Max it got was 80C lol

[mossy venture]

Of all things

With fans on max

[analog pulsar]

Okay and that's also older with worst cooling

[mossy venture]

And it was brand new, not a dust issue

[analog pulsar]

Modern laptops now have better cooling

[mossy venture]

Not really

[analog pulsar]

Even ask sips there 3070 stays cool I'm sure

[mossy venture]

He used liquid metal

There's a big difference

[analog pulsar]

Well I had 3070 and max temp it got was 60C

So

And I played GTA 5

[mossy venture]

And my 3050 ti hit 80c in timespy

[analog pulsar]

Bruh wtf laptop you have

[mossy venture]

Dell g15

[analog pulsar]

Bruh

You need to get legion or asus

[mossy venture]

The g15 this gen is decent compared to a lot of other models

[mossy venture]

LOL

[analog pulsar]

They have better cooling

[mossy venture]

Kenzie with all due respect

This conversation is taking years off of my life

I'm going to go until you can talk to your friend

[analog pulsar]

your the one saying laptops have bad cooling so I don't wanna hear it

[mossy venture]

THEY DO

[analog pulsar]

NO THEY DONT

IT MIGHT NOT BE DESKTOP PERFORMANCE BUT ITS STILL GOOD BACCA

[mossy venture]

Kenzie

Do what you want

Suggest to your friend whatever the hell you want, im not dealing with this

[empty pollen]

[mossy venture]

Stop asking for help if you don't want to hear advice

Tired of it

[flint sapphire]

[analog pulsar]

First off all I asked for a laptop then you gave some BS like laptop has bad cooling I NEVER ASKED FOR LAPTOP COOLING ADVICE OR DESTOP ADVIVE

[empty pollen]

[analog pulsar]

So idk where your getting advice from

[mossy venture]

YOU ASKED FOR A SUGGESTION FOR YOUR FRIEND

One second

Let me type

I'm going to say this as nice as I can

[analog pulsar]

Yea then you started going on about cooling which I never asked for

[mossy venture]

You asked for a suggestion for your friend. I want to make sure your friend is getting the best machine for their use case.

You are treating their problem as if it has a black and white solution

When in fact there are multiple possible solutions

And without knowing enough, I would like to ask them questions to figure out what the best option is for them

You are not her, you do not know what is best for her to use. Neither do i

Which is why I would like to communicate

Ok, I am done.

[empty pollen]

[analog pulsar]

Okay I'll need to wait for her to get home

[mossy venture]

In other news, my 13600k got here last I night, doing my build when I get home from school

[analog pulsar]

are you gunna OC or just use stock ?

also you gunna send pics of finished build

[mossy venture]

Yes and yes

Not sure when I'll have time to oc though

But going to be ocing ram and cpu, as well as seeing if I can improve my gpu oc

[analog pulsar]

I bet your pc gunna be the best in wegg 😀

[analog pulsar]

@ornate condor i would like to jump over here to talk about your pc bc its more suited for this channel but https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2TX2nt 4TB drives l;ol

[ornate condor]

Yeah 4x 4tb sn850x rocks

Couldn't find exact mobo and case I have actually but it is basically same

Strix z690A Ddr5 and hyte Y60 case

[analog pulsar]

4 ssds gunna have to find a mobo that has 4 ssd slots brrrr

[ornate condor]

My mobo got 4x gen4 slot so

[analog pulsar]

Lol

Just gunna fill thos all up then

[ornate condor]

Yeah lol I need extra 14tb storage as backup now lol

[mossy venture]

Just get a 61tb ssd

[ornate condor]

Looking for 2x 8tb Samsung 870

[analog hearth]

^ kids building their first PC with some NZXT case and all the RGB in the world

[sharp marsh]

Cool that should be exciting. What motherboard are you pairing it with? Will you have to do something with the bios? (I’m looking to build a 13600k as well 1st time)

[fossil cedar]

Tell them to get this one you shared a few days
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-strix-g15-advantage-edition-15-6-qhd-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-5980hx-16gb-memory-radeonrx-6800m-512gb-ssd/6486485.p?skuId=6486485

[analog pulsar]

yea I asked her today if she saw this she said yea but i remeber issues with this laptop so i was scared for her to get it

[mossy venture]

Z690a pro, and yeah I'll have to flash the bios

[ornate condor]

Life advice: always keep backup of your files

[ornate condor]

RGB = more fps

[fossil cedar]

What issues?

[analog pulsar]

i remember people saying the liquid metal on the cpu melted or something during shipping cause gpu not to work

[fossil cedar]

Should be fine by now, they fixed the lm issue ages ago, if it doesn't work then they can return for new one

[analog pulsar]

yea

[wheat locust]

Good morning everyone, I'm looking to make my first pc from scratch and could use some advice.

https://www.newegg.com/m/tools/custom-pc-builder/ld?dln=28311217

[mossy venture]

Uhh

Ima be straight up

That list is straight up awful for the price

[wheat locust]

That's what I'm thinking of so far

[mossy venture]

What's your total budget, and what are you using the pc for?

[wheat locust]

Thats why I'm asking

Budget is whatever

[mossy venture]

Because for 1.9k, you can do a 13600k 3080 build

That is far better

[wheat locust]

Was liking the gundam theme

[mossy venture]

I'll try to do a similiarish theme

[wheat locust]

Gaming is the pupose

[mossy venture]

That case is really bad though

[wheat locust]

Boo

Glad I asked then

I'm not streaming or anything I just want something that looks bad ass and can run anything at 4k

[mossy venture]

Having a hard time finding a good case that I think you'd like, take a look at the g360a

It's a very different look

[deep skiff]

if you're dead set on the gundam the maybe finding somebody to do laser engraving on the case glass

[wheat locust]

Well, worst case senario, I can drop the theme and just go with white. I'm sure I can find some nice decals

[mossy venture]

Alright, one sec

What do you think of this so far? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2pMwZw

I figured you'd like the look of the aio

But it's very optional, ak620 wh would get the job done for a good bit cheaper

[wheat locust]

Looks good. One of my goals is to push more for higher end since I want this to last me a few years. Previously, I bought a prebuilt and just maxxed out everything

[mossy venture]

Technichally, you could get a 4090 for not too much more than your original list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rpJtbK

Well I guess "not too much more" is subjective

$370 is a decent chunk of money, but when talking about 3k it doesnt seem like much lol

[wheat locust]

3 to 4k is fine. That one looks really nice

I see both have an i5. Anything wrong with the newer ones or just a preference?

[mossy venture]

13600k is a very good cpu, especially at 4k it'll be enough for the 4090

[wheat locust]

Ah

[mossy venture]

It's multi core performance as well as single core performance is better than that of the 10900k or 11900k

Single core it's better than 12900k

[wheat locust]

Got it

Good thing I asked then.

[earnest olive]

at stock the difference is almost nothing

a bit misleading to say it's better

[mossy venture]

Ah mb

[fossil cedar]

@wheat locust id do this instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GKRzRv

[earnest olive]

13600K does have more cache but it's also clocked lower

[fossil cedar]

4090 is better but you're gonna pay an arm and a leg for not a huge amount more performance it's not worth 2k

Plus graphics cards are like the easiest thing to upgrade

[earnest olive]

surely price drops will come soon

[fossil cedar]

Keep hoping

[earnest olive]

be very careful with this recommendation...

[wheat locust]

Always went with nvidia for a gpu. Was looking at the radeons earlier. With black friday and cyber monday around the corner, hopefully things will drop in price.

[earnest olive]

that motherboard does not have bios flashback

[fossil cedar]

Oh what

Ugh

Only asus would freaking do that

[earnest olive]

bios flashback is unfortunately still not an ubiquitous feature

[fossil cedar]

Fixed version @wheat locust
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NKgzRv

[earnest olive]

always be careful when recommending a motherboard that's older than the cpu

[fossil cedar]

Amd vs Nvidia is a trivial argument tbh rx 6000 is a great gpu series

[fossil cedar]

No but it should be on a 250$ board

[earnest olive]

it should be on every board

[fossil cedar]

Yes but especially on a 250$ board

Asus is only one that ik of without it on their z690s then

[earnest olive]

still, you should always verify each individual case before making a recommendation

i recommend a z97 board with "z690" painted over the vrm heatsink in big bold letters

😄

hope this helps

techie certified response

[fossil cedar]

Yeah that was my bad i usually do

[earnest olive]

i think the apology is owed to the person the part list was for, not to me

[fossil cedar]

Yeah sorry @wheat locust don't use the first list i sent

[wheat locust]

No worries

[analog pulsar]

I feel like Dr.x79 would own this

[wheat locust]

I have another question, say you have a gpu with 12gig ram and 2 with 10gig in sli/crossfire, which is a better option? I know there is a drop in performance due to communication latency between the cards. Is it worth it to run sli / crossfire?

Also, thanks to everyone who has been helping me.

[obsidian wigeon]

It's not worth running such setup since forever

Many games doesn't support the tech anymore

[wheat locust]

Good to know

[obsidian wigeon]

It's only worth it in workstation environment

[wheat locust]

I have to step away for a bit but I'll be back later. Thanks again to everyone. I'm sure I'll have more questions later.

Goal is to get everything sorted out by Thanksgiving so I can get the parts ordered when black friday/ cyber monday rolls around. Have a great day/night everyone.

[jagged ember]

If you're doing machine learning or simulation and need vram, sure

If you're gaming, absolutely not in any way

[fossil cedar]

Crossfire and sli have been a waste of money for at least like 3 gens now

And dead completely on the newer gens

[wheat locust]

I'll avoid it then. Thank you.

[fossil cedar]

No probs

[upper ore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GmhmP6/phanteks-eclipse-p500a-d-rgb-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-ec500atg_dwt01 Anyone know why this case is going out of stock and why newegg hasn't gotten more? They only have the black one and the matte white.

[mossy venture]

They get stock when they get stock. We don't know when they do

[upper ore]

Oh man this sucks! I can't even get it on the phanteks site. It's like it's been removed for some reason.

[earnest olive]

https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-PH-EC500ATG_DWT01-Full-Metal-Mid-Tower-Digital-RGB/dp/B088T78MJT "Usually ships within 2 to 3 weeks. " but better than nothing

my guess is that the demand for this mixed color case is far below the demand for the full black and full white cases, so they produce less of it

i personally would much rather have full black or full white

[mossy venture]

Just double checking before I take my pc apart in a little bit, is there anything I should download to a USB except for new bios for my mobo and windows?

[earnest olive]

ethernet/wifi drivers just in case

for a new install

better to have and not need than need and not have

[mossy venture]

Kk, ty

Won't be the end of the world if I miss anything, got my laptop

Just would rather have everything ready to go and get it done in one go

[upper ore]

They finally got more! Earlier today it said they had non in stock.

[earnest olive]

i would strongly recommend against buying this case at this price but

if your heart is set on it then

[upper ore]

I've been thinking about waiting but I saw it say non in stock and got scared that they aren't producing them anymore.

Honestly my heart is set on the case but that price will need to go down. Unless I find another one that I like alot more but until then I plan on getting that one.

[earnest olive]

it's unlikely to go down, i think it actually has been discontinued for the full white version

the full white version used to not exist

in the not so far past

[upper ore]

That sucks because I think this one looks better than the full white one.

[earnest olive]

well, i can't guarantee that that's true

but it seems to be what's happening

i have no affiliation with phanteks, i am just an internet random

[upper ore]

Well if you know of any other cases that are similar color. And are high quality cases. That allows enough room for cable management for someone that has OCD to not stress out because of the limited room. Also that it has enough space on the inside to have a vertically mounted gpu and still have good airflow.

Please let me know and I'll look into them and see if they change my mind.

[earnest olive]

not exactly a similar looking case, but have you seen the HYTE Y60?

[mossy venture]

check out lian li cases, they have some really nice looking ones for around $130 or under

[earnest olive]

it's built for vertical mounting specifically and includes a pcie 4.0 riser, so the value of the case is actually very good

despite being more expensive than the P500A initially

[mossy venture]

oh wait, i don't think ill even have to update bios

msis mobos since 07/04 support new cpus

[upper ore]

Does it not hide the power supply or the cables? Just wondering because I can see straight through the back.

[mossy venture]

no it doesn't

[earnest olive]

your motherboard will be there lol

[mossy venture]

oh

wait

i looked at it wrong

listen to sips, hes smart

ignore me

[earnest olive]

unless you have a transparent motherboard that i'm not aware of

no, you won't be able to see those

[upper ore]

Can I get a link and I'll look into it?

[earnest olive]

example

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pyBG3C/hyte-y60-atx-mid-tower-case-cs-hyte-y60-bw

[analog pulsar]

only thing is if you put big gpu theres no air sadly

[upper ore]

https://www.newegg.com/lian-li-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835353004?Item=9SIAFSTJ1K7431 Will it fit this in it?

[earnest olive]

that 3080 strix is a pretty big gpu

yes, 360mm aios fit in it

[analog pulsar]

how tall is it

case

[earnest olive]

anyways, it's not an optimal case for air cooled gpus temps

but it also could be worse

[analog pulsar]

oh its 18 inchees

i have qestion do they make 17 inch cases

[upper ore]

https://www.newegg.com/white-lian-li-pc-o11-dynamic-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811112582 It sucks that this probably doesnt allow for a vertically mounted gpu.

[earnest olive]

it can if you adapt it to

[upper ore]

Wdym?

[earnest olive]

https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-US-4-0CM-GPU-B/dp/B096MC89C5/

https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Vertical-Bracket-Graphic-Support/dp/B09WR8GWTF/

do note that the O11 comes with zero fans so you will need to buy your own

[upper ore]

Oh yeah you sent me these awhile back but the white one

[earnest olive]

it's a pretty expensive case with that in mind

[upper ore]

Have you heard anything good about it?

[earnest olive]

i am sitting next to one

[upper ore]

Does it have good airflow and allow for the stuff i listed before?

[upper ore]

You have one?

[earnest olive]

my homework machine

[analog pulsar]

lol

the ram fans

[earnest olive]

airflow is fine, not top tier, not bad

i run it with the glass panel off though

so the airflow is very good with that in mind

[upper ore]

Damn well im gonna keep looking but ill save that one somewhere just in case

[earnest olive]

but the hyte y60 will also be good with the glass panel off lol

don't get me wrong, airflow is decent with glass panel on

[upper ore]

Alot of cases will be good with the glass panel off. Lol

[earnest olive]

but i want maximum airflow directly over my RAM

[upper ore]

What if i want to leave it on lol

[earnest olive]

notice i have a RAM cooler

well... like i said, it's fine with the glass panel on

[upper ore]

I see that

[earnest olive]

unless you also plan to have a RAM cooler

even then it's still fine honestly

[upper ore]

I doubt ill need them

[earnest olive]

you only need it if you are overclocking temp sensitive ram at high voltages

[upper ore]

I doubt ill be overclocking to be honest

Unless i feel like i need to

[earnest olive]

nobody needs to overclock ram

except me

[upper ore]

I kinda meant in general

[rich void]

You sure it's fast enough for homework? I hear Moodle is really intensive

[frank stirrup]

well jdec is massive L

[earnest olive]

i will die if i daily XMP

[earnest olive]

no, i'm thinking about upgrading

[rich void]

Yeah, not turning on xmp is odd

[rich void]

Makes sense 👍

[earnest olive]

my xmp is off

[rich void]

Why?

[earnest olive]

because my ram overclock is much faster than crappy xmp

[rich void]

Ah ok, I missed that part

Didn't seem worth the time for me to do it, but good on you 👍

[earnest olive]

and yes, the xmp profile on this kit sucks

3200 14-14-14-34 1.35v

🥱

[earnest olive]

it's not worth it for sane people

[rich void]

Who said I was sane?

[earnest olive]

i buy cheap ram just to overclock it for fun

[analog pulsar]

[earnest olive]

i should probably be locked up in a padded cell

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive i wanna see you daily 10000mhz ram at CL22 at 1.4V

[earnest olive]

sure

[upper ore]

Damn homie the more i look at it the more i like it. But im scared with the majority of that being glass that it has poor airflow. Ik i can open it but if i dont want to open it up it looks like its gonna trap alot of hot air in there.

Like i love the look of this pic right here

[earnest olive]

@analog pulsar there you go

[earnest olive]

there are hidden fans in the bottom of the case if that helps you feel better lol

[analog pulsar]

SIPS

[earnest olive]

what?

what's wrong with my ram oc

[analog pulsar]

BRUH you can do 10000mhz

[earnest olive]

yeah? what about it? big deal

[analog pulsar]

OMG

[earnest olive]

i thought everyone could do 10000c22 1.4v daily

[analog pulsar]

lol

[upper ore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNfsG-Ai2PA Yeah this video has changed my mind

[earnest olive]

steve

[upper ore]

It looks like its mainly built for liquid cooled everything which i dont plan on doing. It also looks like my gpu would be right up against the glass.

[earnest olive]

it is indeed built for liquid cooled everything

air cooled still works

[upper ore]

But not that well and i dont think its good to have the gpu fans right up against the glass. Right?

[earnest olive]

you are correct

[upper ore]

Dude looking at these charts and seeing the phanteks p500 up so high isnt helping me find something else lol

[rich void]

You look at the lancool III?

[upper ore]

Looking into it now

[earnest olive]

if you want a chart topper, just grab a fractal torrent 🙂

[upper ore]

Oh i saw that for sure lol

[mossy venture]

This is right, right?

Text is right side up

[earnest olive]

correct

[mossy venture]

Ty

The lever scares me lmao

[earnest olive]

first intel system?

[mossy venture]

First time building a pc myself

[earnest olive]

my first intel socket scared me too

[upper ore]

Ik it scared me the first time setting the cpu into its slot lol

[mossy venture]

I just pull it down, right?

[earnest olive]

pro tip: get contact frame and then you don't need a lever

[analog hearth]

yes. the triangle matches the triangle

[mossy venture]

Even though it feels like I'll break it?

[earnest olive]

yes

[analog hearth]

yes

[earnest olive]

it's like 50 pounds of force or something like that

[weary galleon]

Yeah it's quite a bit of pressure

[mossy venture]

Probably should've, but I'm not patient enough to wait another day or two. Especially with hslf of it assembled

I'll see what Temps are like, and if I need to I'll get one later

[earnest olive]

it's really not necessary

but i like it 😄

looks nice too

[mossy venture]

Ye, I'm planning to oc too so I'll probably add one

[earnest olive]

i can see it under my cooler if i look for it

[mossy venture]

I use the top pcie slot, right?

[weary galleon]

Yes

[fossil cedar]

Ilms are scary

[mossy venture]

You still here?

[fossil cedar]

Was going on?

[mossy venture]

Rawrs got me

[woeful dune]

Anyone got any tips on how wire my pc better?

[frank stirrup]

zip ties

[paper summit]

LTT STORE.COM CABLE TIES

[drowsy zodiac]

say i install everything in my pc do i have to take it all apart to flash the bios or can i leave it all put together and flash bios

[fossil cedar]

you can leave it assembled

[drowsy zodiac]

ok cool thanks!

ordering the last three parts on Friday i’m really excited thanks for everyone’s help here!

[little osprey]

nah zip ties still superior

200 for like 10 bucks 🙏

[analog pulsar]

Really

I gotta get on that

[mossy venture]

Well I thought I had gotten everything done

Build won't turn on

[lean radish]

So a while ago my friend spilled some water on my pc he didn't realize it at first so it sat for a couple of hours I went to boot it up and it didn't turn on no surprise. It turned on for a second all the lights turned on and then shut off after a split second. I opened it up the MB, Graphics card, and Power Supply had corrosion on them. I got it off the GC and replaced the PS and MB but it still just turns on for a second and turns off. Any suggestions, new GC?

didnt really know where to ask either so since its kinda build related i put it here

[weary galleon]

psu switch?

[mossy venture]

Nah

I think either case power or bios updoot, doing bios updoot rn

[earnest olive]

your friend better be paying for this 💀

try integrated graphics or test gpu to see if it works without your graphics card

[lean radish]

So I took the card out and now it starts and runs for 5 seconds then turns off then repeats. Checked my wires too and all are snug

[upper ore]

What the heck... Why is it $380 on Amazon and only $280 on newegg? Are they they different versions of the 980 pro? But now they are both on sale for the same price.

Either way it's overpriced

2tb sn850x is much cheaper while being better

[stoic island]

980 pro price after sale being 180$ is decent but xs70 is better and cheaper

[mossy venture]

$170 for one of the best gen 4 drives

That's hot

[upper ore]

I get that but I was just asking if there was even a difference between them.

[upper ore]

Why is it so chunky? Lol

[stoic island]

pretty normal for gen 4 drive with heatsink

[earnest olive]

no

[upper ore]

Oh so thats a heatsink that is on it

[earnest olive]

that's by far the biggest ssd i've ever seen

does that even fit in a pc?

i mean seriously that's insane

[upper ore]

I was wondering that aswell

[earnest olive]

[stoic island]

lmfao

normal amazon moment

80 inches

[stoic island]

it's just 10mm

[fossil cedar]

It's 6ft 8 lmao

[earnest olive]

absolute unit of an ssd

taller than me

[paper summit]

Sad

[stoic island]

just built different

[paper summit]

Hey man 10mm is alot ok 😭😭😭

[analog pulsar]

[mossy venture]

Welp, I'm once again asking for build assistance

I got the bios flash to work, it turned on

I turned it off so I could boot from another sdd to install windows on

Power button won't work

[mossy venture]

nvm got it

[gentle pollen]

Any advise I could receive on how to de-dust my PC fans?

I don't have a air compressor.

[gentle pollen]

Damn, it's got me beat by 4in.

[fossil cedar]

Canned air but that's pretty wasteful when air compressors aren't much

[gentle pollen]

Big issue is I can't seem to find vendors for Air Compressors around here.

Would my hair dryer work if I put it on cold?

[fossil cedar]

Sure just hold the fan so it doesn't spin the fan

[gentle pollen]

Gotcha thanks.

[potent portal]

You can find battery powered dusters for like $20-30

[fossil cedar]

Try use a nozzle that has a thin opening so it's more focused too

[drowsy zodiac]

guys

i bought an rtx6900 right

[earnest olive]

an rtx 6900? impressive

never heard of that card before, must be one of a kind

[vital pelican]

but it needs the power of a small village

rx6900*

[earnest olive]

isn't it only 300 watts

[vital pelican]

no

[earnest olive]

that's really not that much

[vital pelican]

850

AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT

Apparently takes 850 watts

[mossy venture]

no

[earnest olive]

no lol

[mossy venture]

it is recommended that you use an 850w psu

[earnest olive]

that's just the power supply recommendation

the card itself takes 300 watts

however

[vital pelican]

Thank the lord

however?

[earnest olive]

you really don't need an 850w psu

[mossy venture]

that gpu would likely be fine on a 550w lol, 750w is being safe

[earnest olive]

the recommendation treads very safely

because some people will go buy some garbage "850w" psu that struggles to deliver 500w

depending on the rest of the system, you could run that 6900xt with anywhere from 500-700w psu

[vital pelican]

well any recommendations on one that can deliver?

[mossy venture]

country?

[vital pelican]

im pretty sure

you are the one who gave me this one

U.S

it was a...

[earnest olive]

what are the rest of your specs

[vital pelican]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZR9JLT?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[earnest olive]

that power supply would do perfectly

regardless of the rest of your system tbh

unless you're like

[earnest olive]

running a multi gpu setup

yeah that one is good

[vital pelican]

yeah too much brain power

[earnest olive]

just buy the cooler master one and don't think about it then

it'll be fine

[merry spindle]

Is the ASUS TUF RX6900XT known to sag?

[vital pelican]

ty

[merry spindle]

Or does it come with a bracket?

[vital pelican]

thats the only problem i read about in reviews

i can chck right now to see if it comes with one tho\

one sec

[merry spindle]

Thanks in advance

[fossil cedar]

B tier

[vital pelican]

[merry spindle]

Aight, thanks

I'll have to think of getting a bracket now

[vital pelican]
