[little osprey]

I am trying to build a budget pc for a club, the most intense game it will ever run would be Valorant, LoL, and Rocket League
I have a budget of $1100 USD and RGB is NOT a need. This is what I got
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NThpFg

OOOOO I can change my nickname now :)

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nCbgH2 this is a lot better

[little osprey]

Hahaha, this is amazing

tysm

[strange wadi]

Had this pc for about almost a year, and was wondering if there's anything worth upgrading on

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ywfcqm

[mossy venture]

Could just throw in a 6800xt

[fossil cedar]

It looks okay yeah

Probably not as nice as a non rosewill tho

[analog pulsar]

Yes

[upper ore]

I was looking at that case at one point but I don't feel like choking the gpu with how its so close to the glass.

[languid nimbus]

That’s the problem with these that are solely “showcases” as was aforementioned in the chat; their purpose is to look nice, not necessarily be functional

The Y60 is actually pretty rough according to GN, but could be worse

#build-pics message @gentle pollen that book follows you around huh?

[broken lake]

Ok guys I need smart peoples opinions because I’m not smart

Is a 2tb 980 pro worth it for $173

[tawny fiber]

It is tbh

[empty pollen]

depends on your usage

you could get away with a gen3 for half that price if you are only gaming

no need for that amount of speed unless you are into heavy video editing

or moving a lot of big big files constantly

[wild peak]

what do you think of the build?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hsTc78

[wild peak]

whats with all that storage

[strange wadi]

Video Recordings, Video Editing, Art/drawings, Animation,Blender, Video Games, other etc.

[cyan ravine]

How much do you own and how much have you bought?

[fossil cedar]

This is a lot better
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HZtfjZ

[earnest olive]

what the heck is this pro b550m-vc

voice chat?

LOL

[wild peak]

none rn im polishing it before i do end up buying

[earnest olive]

motherboard optimized for voice chat, 50% extra performance in discord

[paper summit]

Yea that noctua cooler overkill

Mmm yes

[cyan ravine]

Ok then def use pato's list

[woven horizon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2yJ4hk

[earnest olive]

the V probably stands for this VGA port on it but i have no idea what the C stands for

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[cyan ravine]

Bios flash

[wild peak]

wow that is a lot better, tysm, sorry im new to the pc building world

[earnest olive]

no need to apologize

we've all seen much worse

[fossil cedar]

Mines the same price and kicks this lists ass

[earnest olive]

everyone starts somewhere

pato and i both started out with some questionable stuff

[fossil cedar]

Also pls just no to hyper 212

[cyan ravine]

I'm still questionable but hopefully loved

[woven horizon]

lol

[fossil cedar]

Sips did you see nzxt are pulling a h212?

[earnest olive]

huh, that's cool

[fossil cedar]

For 60$

[earnest olive]

yooo

but is the heatsink entirely covered in white plastic for ✨ aesthetics ✨

otherwise i don't want it 😤

[cyan ravine]

Ya the VC board, pro vdh and prime b450m-a ii all have bios flash for ez newer ryzen life

[earnest olive]

that's a lot better than the original price of the corsair a500 at least

lmao

[cyan ravine]

Like all 110 or less

[fossil cedar]

My apologies the non rgb is only 50$

[wild peak]

do i not need a cpu cooler on top of that?

[cyan ravine]

Nope

[fossil cedar]

No only white metal :(

[cyan ravine]

Stock cooler goes brrr

[earnest olive]

remember corsair's hyper 212 competitor for $116?

[cyan ravine]

I try not to

[fossil cedar]

The stock one will do fine, if you want you can get a 3rd party one like this
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vHH7YJ/thermalright-assassin-x-refined-se-argb-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ax120-se-argb-white-d2

[fossil cedar]

No?

[earnest olive]

the corsair a500

[cyan ravine]

A500 was hilarious

[wild peak]

if its not necessary then id rather not spend extra money

[earnest olive]

they quickly had to drop it from $116 to like $30 lol

[fossil cedar]

Then don't bother with it unless you find the stock cooler too loud or something

[earnest olive]

yikes it's back at $90

[fossil cedar]

Ohh the a500 msrp was 110?

Bruh

[wild peak]

do you think the stock would be louder than the one you recommended?

[earnest olive]

yes

[fossil cedar]

Yes but shouldn't be too much of an issue

[earnest olive]

you could just use the stock cooler first and then decide if you want to upgrade it after like a week of use

[fossil cedar]

You can always add the 3rd party one later down the line of you choose

[earnest olive]

it's not gonna sell for a significant amount if you keep the stock cooler unused anyways

[fossil cedar]

@earnest olive here's nzxts meme
https://nzxt.com/collection/t120

[cyan ravine]

Nzxt one was gross but at least it was never 110 from memory

Dual tower price not 280 aio price kekw

[earnest olive]

se-214-xt: am i a joke to you?

[cyan ravine]

Paying double for a slight aesthetic

Like omg

[earnest olive]

oh boy

[fossil cedar]

Actually there's thermalright cooler that's like 17$ now

[cyan ravine]

Have you guys ever lurked the nzxt discord?

Often I see people like "no don't buy nzxt"

[fossil cedar]

Triple the thermalright at 17$ or 3.5 times that for the rgb version

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[wild peak]

also, for the cpu is it worth upgrading it to a 5600X?

[fossil cedar]

Nope basically the same cpu

[wild peak]

ok thanks!!!

[fossil cedar]

Np

[obsidian wigeon]

"here let us make you waste your money on our products"

[analog pulsar]

Buy one

[analog pulsar]

Yea even nzxt discord people say no buy it tbh nzxt doesn't force itself on customers

Nzxt just like to have fun

TBH i liked nzxt my cp looked so nice bc everything was matching

Also 4080 pc

@cyan ravine @fossil cedar You cant sit back and say this doesnt look nice

Got the nzxt mobo and aio brrrrrr

And case

I feel like rebuilding my old pc but ik case isn't gunna be short enough

Just we don't ummm........talk about price

[cyan ravine]

It looks nice but does it perform about as good as it could? Prolly not

[analog pulsar]

It does perform perfectly

[cyan ravine]

Nzxt moment

[analog pulsar]

Cpu only got 90C under 250W load

[cyan ravine]

That was which cpu?

[analog pulsar]

11900k

[cyan ravine]

Meh

11900K isn't the hardest to cool so

[analog pulsar]

Wym lol

It's the hottest chip lol

Everyone said it was a hot bucket

[cyan ravine]

Really? I've heard a lot different because it's a 10nm layout backported to 14nm

[analog pulsar]

I mean probs back in the day it was a hot bucket

[cyan ravine]

Heh

Yeah we got hotter buckets now

[analog pulsar]

caught in 4k

[analog pulsar]

13600k at 300W

[cyan ravine]

Here's what's neat about 13th gen

[analog pulsar]

i think this was gaming as cpu is hot and look at my GPU RPM hahaha

[cyan ravine]

Using the exact same cooler and board you can pull maybe some 20-30% more power on 13th gen vs 12th gen and still be ok

[analog pulsar]

Hm

[cyan ravine]

Omg that rpm

Hahaha

That is max fan

[analog pulsar]

Nah

I think went to 4000

[cyan ravine]

Oh wow ok

I thought windforce capped at just over 3k

[analog pulsar]

Oh

[cyan ravine]

Meh, either way it's loud at that rpm

Lolol

[analog pulsar]

Nah just get noise canceling headphones duh

I hear nothing

Also I have music blasting most of the time

[cyan ravine]

[analog pulsar]

People always like I don't wanna hear pc....and I'm thinking ti myself like you don't blast music while playing video games hahaha

[cyan ravine]

For me it's the mic

[analog pulsar]

But I also sleep with a fan at night so I like fan noises

I just don't like when fans make clanging noises

[cyan ravine]

But I mean even now you have noise suppression ai for both amd and nvidia

[analog pulsar]

Yea

https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/sGgXsY/magnificent-intel-gamingstreaming-build lol

lets go pcpartpicker

.........ahhhhhh

I really wanna build pc nobody buying my stuff

I just hope the mobo deal stays

This laptop is built like a mini pc omg @obsidian wigeon talk about heavy this comes with a handle as well

Work laptop anyone 🙂

[fossil cedar]

In your dreams

[fossil cedar]

It looks fine

[analog pulsar]

Nzxt is like the best cooler

[fossil cedar]

Copium

[analog pulsar]

You can even put some nzxt thermal paste on it to make it colder

@fossil cedar isn't this a good price? Bc they were like $699 so this is like a $150 off price

[earnest olive]

do you need 12 cores?

[analog pulsar]

I'm just saying

[earnest olive]

for gaming it'll lose to a much cheaper 5800x3d still

so no

[analog pulsar]

But

Am4 ded

[earnest olive]

for productivity you might as well get a 13900K

[analog pulsar]

That's what everyone keeps saying

[fossil cedar]

Like i said like 2 hours ago, ryzen 7000 sales will be useless til b650 prices drop

[earnest olive]

7950x kinda the only am5 CPU worth buying unless you get that microcenter deal

[analog pulsar]

Oh

[upper ore]

Ive heard it works just fine if everything is liquid cooled tho

[fossil cedar]

And you're stuck paying at least twice for ddr5 over ddr4

[analog pulsar]

Hmmmmm

Not really twice lol

[fossil cedar]

Yes really

[analog pulsar]

No

Pato

[earnest olive]

more than twice

[analog pulsar]

Let me get something

[fossil cedar]

2x16gb 3600cl18 , 75$, 2x16gb 5600mhz 150$

[earnest olive]

32gb ddr4 is like $70 now

[analog pulsar]

[earnest olive]

I mean you chose some extremely expensive ddr4 to compare to some cheap ddr5

[analog pulsar]

It's not cheap lol

It just can do some speed ad 6400 lol

[gentle pollen]

Lmao, tbh I haven't even read the whole fan. I am just a massive fan of How I met Your Mother the show.

[earnest olive]

that's pretty much bottom end for ddr5

[analog pulsar]

It's 5600 CL32

[languid nimbus]

That ending tho

[cyan ravine]

Lol tridents are expensive as hecc

[earnest olive]

the good kits start at around 200

[analog pulsar]

No

[cyan ravine]

Most premium ddr4 kit behind dominators

[earnest olive]

ok yes kenzie I'm sure you know more about ram than I do

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive we already explained yesterday this ram can go as fast as the more high end ram lol

[cyan ravine]

Kenzie is this that hynix kit we talked about

[analog pulsar]

What's point in buying high end ram if you can just make a kit go that high

[earnest olive]

did m-die drop that far in price?

[cyan ravine]

Yeah it's getting pretty low

[earnest olive]

170?

man

confiscate my wallet before I buy some

[cyan ravine]

I'm pretty sure this is the kit we talked about, if not tforce def has hynix m at that range

[analog pulsar]

Do you even have mobo to run ddr5

[earnest olive]

I'll just buy it

[analog pulsar]

This was the kit its on my pcpartpicker

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H3qMgb

[cyan ravine]

Worth buying for sips as sips could actually get 10% out of it

[analog pulsar]

LN2 when

[cyan ravine]

Yeah that's hynix

[analog pulsar]

So what's that all mean again? What's the different ram do

[earnest olive]

if I upgrade to d5 I'd get a-die over m-die honestly

but upgrading rn would be stupid

[cyan ravine]

A die is still a bit expensive

[earnest olive]

but it's so tempting

[cyan ravine]

Unless you go like, oem

[cyan ravine]

So all ram uses a bunch of different suppliers i.e g.skill uses samsung, hynix, sometimes a couple others

What they ship with are specific chips

Those chips on the ram sticks are rated or capable of a certain performance

[analog pulsar]

So it's just % chance what you get

[cyan ravine]

In this case no %

[earnest olive]

just gotta get a good software engineer job so I can buy a-die and unify 🙂

[cyan ravine]

It's a guaranteed hynix kit

[analog pulsar]

Oh

[earnest olive]

still, decent ddr4 is only $70ish for 32gb

[cyan ravine]

Hynix m chips can do like, 7000 1t daily on alder lake and some 7200+ on raptor lake

[earnest olive]

so ddr5 is still a lot more expensive

[cyan ravine]

Depending on board

[earnest olive]

meteor lake?

[cyan ravine]

Raptor

Sorry raptor

[earnest olive]

ah okay

[cyan ravine]

It's 6am

[earnest olive]

I was wondering if people got meteor lake QS on hand already

[cyan ravine]

Motherboard plays a big role in these specific kits @analog pulsar

So your mileage will vary

[analog pulsar]

theres this i do remeber it being $300 so at least pricve went down

[cyan ravine]

Not worth

Not when you get equivalent performance from the other kit

[analog pulsar]

We must make it so we don't need mobo anymore

[earnest olive]

ddr5 removed the ram power delivery from the motherboard

ddr6 removes the motherboard

dimms soldered to cpu

[analog pulsar]

[cyan ravine]

Ddr7 removes the ram

[analog pulsar]

Just have everything wired to each other it will be fine

[earnest olive]

6400c5

best ddr5 ever

[analog pulsar]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4524224 you get a 1080p 32inch with it

[earnest olive]

wait what

oh

I thought you meant the monitor was bundled with the ddr2

[analog pulsar]

That would be funny

[earnest olive]

1080p 32 inch

🤢

[cyan ravine]

DUDE

1080p 32inch for 25$?

Hell yeah

Less gooo

[earnest olive]

literally would feel sick playing on that lol

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive yea I had 27inch 1080p it's just a zoomed in 27in 1440p

[earnest olive]

1080p 24" is good

1080 27" is pushing it

1080p 32" is 🤢

[analog pulsar]

[cyan ravine]

Throwback to 2008 when 1080p 55" was cool

[analog pulsar]

Idk if I can take your opinion as valid bc you also think 60hz is bad

60hz is best screen hz

[earnest olive]

60hz is bad

[analog pulsar]

No

[cyan ravine]

[analog pulsar]

I'll stand by my 60hz statement

I was on it for years

[earnest olive]

so was I

[analog pulsar]

Yes best screen hz

[earnest olive]

I used 60hz for 15 years

[analog pulsar]

Old much

[earnest olive]

from my first prebuilt pc at age 6

[analog pulsar]

Bruh

[earnest olive]

to all the laptops over the years

[analog pulsar]

I didn't get my first prebuilt until 18

[earnest olive]

to my first real monitor at age 21

[analog pulsar]

Man

I've been thought to many pcs

I'm only 21

[earnest olive]

my parents bought it for me for winning some math competition lol

[analog pulsar]

I love being undecisive

[analog pulsar]

My parents bought me pc for graduation

[earnest olive]

they made me do middle school math competitions at age 6

[fossil cedar]

5600 is low end honestly lowest id recommend probably if you where going 64gb or something

[earnest olive]

and my reward was a pentium 4 prebuilt for maplestory

[strong raft]

I would use a crt before going back to a 60hz lcd. 60hz = poopoo.

[earnest olive]

same

[analog pulsar]

Yea but like we said with a fee clicks that ram will run 6400 in no time

If mobo will be nice

[hallow glen]

I woke up at 2pm

[earnest olive]

75hz is the minimum

[fossil cedar]

nope 5600 could my samsung and have a hard stop at 6000mhz

[earnest olive]

I don't mind gaming on 75hz

[analog pulsar]

What

[earnest olive]

not preferable but doesn't make me want to puke like 60hz

[hallow glen]

I was on 60hz for about a year

[analog pulsar]

@earnest olive

[hallow glen]

On 1366x768 resolution too

[fossil cedar]

5600mhz kits could be samsung dies which have basically a hard cap at 6000mhz

[analog pulsar]

6000 will be enough

[fossil cedar]

could also be crucial

[earnest olive]

I wish I still had my first pc

I got a virus on it as a kid and my parents threw it out

[fossil cedar]

you cant compare XMP kits to a kit you need to overclock tho

[earnest olive]

I would love to mess with it now that I know things

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine we need your brain I'm not smart enough with this talk

[cyan ravine]

Man I remember when we all shifted to 60hz from 30hz

And people were getting sick from that

[analog pulsar]

[fossil cedar]

@analog pulsar these are about equivalents to each other in ddr4 vs ddr5 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4kmmP6/corsair-vengeance-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl36-memory-cmk32gx5m2b5600c36

[earnest olive]

I need to sell my switch lol 20 fps gaming ain't it

[analog pulsar]

Ew corsair ram

[earnest olive]

have y'all seen how the new pokemon games run

[analog pulsar]

I'll just stick with my team group ram

[earnest olive]

you should just stick with an i3 and ddr4 for 60hz gaming

there was no game that my i3 couldn't run at 60 fps

[analog pulsar]

No

My cpu is full

Well I'm not in 60hz

[earnest olive]

buying nice ddr5 and ryzen 9 for 60hz is like

💀

[analog pulsar]

Bruh

I'm not buying it for 60hz

Also it will be fine

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LTcG3C/teamgroup-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl32-memory-ff3d532g5600hc32dc01 @fossil cedar so......let me get this straight you telling me NOT to buy these

[fossil cedar]

i wouldnt no

[analog pulsar]

Sadge

@cyan ravine go buy it

[cyan ravine]

Sure let me just, catch a plane rq

Sell another TV

Somehow take the TV back by plane

Sure

[potent portal]

It's a bit big for a carry on so you'd have to check it as luggage

https://tenor.com/view/shattered-glass-smite-gif-26294819

[cyan ravine]

Bruh I wouldn't even do it

It costs more to fly or ship

450 is a good price for that tho

It sales for 700 and otherwise retails higher

[analog pulsar]

You can ship it maybe

[cyan ravine]

No shipping will cost as much or more

Promise

[potent portal]

Hmm in California too... Nope don't need. But $450... Grah no don't need

[potent portal]

Seller says local pickup only

[cyan ravine]

450 for a huge qled stonks

[analog pulsar]

Just drive

[cyan ravine]

Proceeds to drive through the Pacific

[potent portal]

Across the ocean
Ofc why didn't I think of that

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine wtf why you live over there

[cyan ravine]

You only realised this now???

I've said it a lot since I've been here

[potent portal]

Upside down land is more interesting with everything trying to kill you

[cyan ravine]

Try and guess where I live

[analog pulsar]

Bruh I don't pay attention

The pacific is right

?

[cyan ravine]

[analog pulsar]

Left

[cyan ravine]

To the right of me

[paper summit]

Omg

[potent portal]

Pacific is West by Cali

[analog pulsar]

Oh

Ik it was somewhere

[cyan ravine]

Indeed

Somewhere indeed

[analog pulsar]

@cyan ravine wait you live in Russia omg

[potent portal]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-gif-23730687

[cyan ravine]

No

[analog pulsar]

3 hands

[cyan ravine]

There was even a huge hint that made it easy to guess

Kekw

[analog pulsar]

Bruh I failed world whatever I don't even know all the states in the US you just gunna need to tell me

[cyan ravine]

[potent portal]

I have a hint in the form of a meme, figured you'd get that one

[analog pulsar]

Oh Australia

[cyan ravine]

That made my day

Haha

[analog pulsar]

I remember someone calling it upside down

[cyan ravine]

Yes Fal'Cie

[analog pulsar]

No someone else

[potent portal]

It's a meme, how everyone in Australia is walking upside down

[analog pulsar]

Why is that

How did it start

Wait a minute

They are kinda near bottom of earth

[analog pulsar]

Guts 3060 $250?

[cyan ravine]

Yes and no

I'd pay that for a new one

[analog pulsar]

Wym they don't sell that much

Ew down-payment

[cyan ravine]

Ew 400 in general

[analog pulsar]

It's $500 new

Damn 3070 laptop for $900

And 1080p too

Nice

[analog pulsar]

So from roof to bottom its 26inches do my 011 would fit but now I would need to get longer cables but also is it safe to out pc up so high what about the risks of it falling 🤔

[cyan ravine]

I wouldn't put something that heavy on your cabinets

Not when I think about them also being full

[merry spindle]

When front mounting the radiator, is the fans going to be on the side closest to the outside, or towards the motherboard?

[potent portal]

Either works

Functionally it's the same so whatever looks better to you

[jagged brook]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7MXc78

finally found all the parts

[analog pulsar]

Okay good defense

They arnt full full but yea

This desk is 400 pounds anyway

[woven horizon]

Anyone have experience with the Ryzen 4500 or 5500? Do they really perform close to the 1600 and 1700?

[shut zenith]

hello

quesyion please

11900K. 11700K 11400F which one to replace my 10 gen I3

[woven horizon]

11400f or 11700K, the 11900K is awful according to Tech Jesus.

[shut zenith]

ok

[cyan ravine]

Depends on your motherboard

[paper summit]

Will windows 11 vs 10 make a difference for cinebench

Just in general

[potent portal]

If it's cinebench scores you're after you want 7 or 10

Unless you have a CPU with E-cores then you need 11

[potent portal]

Mostly due to the 11900k losing to the 10900k in a lot of tests, and the 11700k isn't an upgrade over the 10700k.

[analog pulsar]

Lol

10900 is nice

According to gamer nexus 11th gen doesn't exist

[south cliff]

can someone tell me how to install hd 5700 drivers

i need them for a friend

an d i cant find the link anywhere

[potent portal]

What version of windows?

[south cliff]

10

i haven't texted in this chat for a long time

[potent portal]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-hd/ati-radeon-hd-5000-series/ati-radeon-hd-5770

Assuming that's the generation you mean, if it's wrong let me know

[south cliff]

ok

also i need help with someothing else

my warzone 2 is very choppy when i play

[potent portal]

Using your 6700XT?

[south cliff]

yeah

like fps drops

to

[potent portal]

Honestly that game just has issues, on nvidia too

[south cliff]

also my cat puked on my pc

[potent portal]

Oh fun

What memory are you using?

[south cliff]

but luckily there was a plastic film still on top of my gpu that i forgot to tke off

and when i took it off my temp on my gpu went from 80 downt to like 60 now whiole playing

trident 32gb 3000

cl 16 im pretty sure

[potent portal]

That'll do it

FPS drops can usually be solved with better memory

[south cliff]

it used to not

but im going to try modern warfare 2019

[empty pollen]

cod games are badly optimized most of the time

so dont worry yourself over that

amd and nvidia suffer the same

[south cliff]

yeah and im playing on like thje lowest settings

[potent portal]

Yep that's just the game

Lots of reports on both AMD and Nvidia of similar issues

But overclocking your memory might help

[south cliff]

also could it ber my undervolt

this is my undervolt rn

[empty pollen]

dont think so

as fal'cie pointed already

more memory uysually helps

[south cliff]

i got 32gb

[empty pollen]

is like a band-aid to the problem

[potent portal]

That wouldn't cause drops, just lower averages

[empty pollen]

thing is: you can do very little on that regard

cod is just like that

if your pc handle other games just fine then cod is the culprit

[potent portal]

Ideally you'd want a better kit of memory on a 12600k. 3000 c16 is barely passable on even 10th gen.

[south cliff]

well im broke rn and i love the rgb

[empty pollen]

yup, some 3600c18 are gucci

and cheap

[potent portal]

Which is why I'd suggest trying to overclock first, it's free except time cost

[empty pollen]

oc your memory kit not your gpu man

[potent portal]

If you're lucky you got c-die or something that can clock 3600c18 with some work

[empty pollen]

just syaing

undervolting your gpu is fine, is the way to go on most cases

[south cliff]

yeam mw 2019 runs fine 165 fps solid and gpu temp 27

how to do i oc my ram

[potent portal]

First step is to find out what IC your sticks use

You can use thaiphoon burner to make a good guess on that

[south cliff]

will it stop the stuttering

[potent portal]

That depends. It'll help but since it's mostly a game specific issue it won't 100% solve it.

[south cliff]

ok i got it installed

[potent portal]

"Read"
Then pick one, doesn't matter which

Then "report"

[potent portal]

I need the manufacturing description from the "report" page

[south cliff]

where is report

nvm im dumb

[potent portal]

Hmm it can't tell what it is

All we know is hynix but that's a start for a guess

[south cliff]

wdym it can tell

should i do another one of them

[potent portal]

DRAM Die Revision is N/A so software can't tell what it is

I can make a guess based on the timings

[south cliff]

make a guess on what it is?

[potent portal]

Or you could take off the heat spreaders and read it off the die

Oh duh what am I thinking, it's a g.skill kit

[south cliff]

yup

[potent portal]

There's a code printed on the label starting with 042 or 043

[south cliff]

wher

where

on the stick

[potent portal]

The white label on the stick yes

[south cliff]

hold on let me see

[potent portal]

The last 5 digits tell us everything

[south cliff]

well im going to take it out of my pc

if thats okl

[potent portal]

Yeah just turn it off first

[south cliff]

yes

[potent portal]

8820C

8 Gb, x8, Hynix, (placeholder), C stepping

[south cliff]

Good or bad?

[potent portal]

Seems like it could be 8Gb AFR

Doesn't overclock very well but you should be able to get it to 3200 at least

[south cliff]

Whatever I can get out of it is fine

What next#

[potent portal]

In fact you can probably just set it to 3200 in bios and call it a day

Back up your bios settings first

[south cliff]

Let’s see

[potent portal]

Oh but it's c15 by default

Probably have to change timings

But we'll see

[south cliff]

I’m at bios

[potent portal]

Once you save your settings (for if it fails to post) change that 3000 to 3200

[south cliff]

Where do I save

[potent portal]

Top, where it says "save"

[south cliff]

Mhm

[potent portal]

Save profile

[south cliff]

K I got it

[potent portal]

If you have a flash drive now is the time to put it in

[south cliff]

Umm how much Gn do I need

Gb

[potent portal]

approximately 32kb

Anything works

[south cliff]

k I sec I had to dig it out the trash I was cleaning and threw it away

[potent portal]

I still keep around my 1GB sticks from 2006, never know when they're going to be useful

Of course I'm a tech hoarder so...

[south cliff]

Well it’s wet from a drink

[potent portal]

Eh, some of mine went through the washer

[south cliff]

But I put some alcohol on it and it seems to work#

Now what

[potent portal]

Save the profile to that, name it whatever you like

Then you can change the frequency

Then F10 to save and exit

[south cliff]

Well it seems to not work

[potent portal]

It can take some time to train the timings, and might reboot a couple times

[south cliff]

Nvm I got it

The usb wasn’t working

How do I of ram

Oc

[potent portal]

Back to this screen, change 3000 to 3200

[south cliff]

Ok

Save exit

[potent portal]

Yep

Then cross your fingers and wait

[south cliff]

What if it doesn’t work

[potent portal]

Then after a couple failed tries it should reset the memory only to jedec default

If that mechanism fails as well you'd clear cmos and load that profile

[south cliff]

I’m in

[potent portal]

It worked? Good so far then. Once you're in Windows you'll want to run a memory test.

[analog pulsar]

Well that umm build in #build-pics all I can say is that pc is definitely gunna have air in the pc

[south cliff]

What is a good memory test

Or how do I get one

[potent portal]

OCCT has a nice interface, but TM5 is more thorough

[south cliff]

So tm5

Can you send download link

[potent portal]

Ideally yes, one sec. Note the test takes several hours to complete.

[south cliff]

golly

[potent portal]

I did say thorough lol

[south cliff]

so should i do it now or can i wait lol

[potent portal]

You could wait but if it's unstable your data may be damaged when you use it

[analog pulsar]

@potent portal do you know how IGPU is on the new amd cpus 🤔

[south cliff]

could that damage my pc

[potent portal]

Better than Intel but not as good as APUs

[analog pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ycGbt6/amd-ryzen-7-5700g-38-ghz-8-core-processor-100-100000263box this cpu good

[south cliff]

12600k laughs

[analog pulsar]

I mean igpu point

[potent portal]

Couldn't find our link to the pre-set up TM5 so there's my copy

[south cliff]

where do i open

[potent portal]

It should load the antaextreme777 profile automatically

Oh you have 7zip right? If not I can do regular zip

[potent portal]

That's a no then

[south cliff]

so if i dont run this it could damage my pc

[potent portal]

There's a risk of data corruption

[south cliff]

gul[

gulp

[potent portal]

No physical or unrepairable damage though

[south cliff]

ok but what would you recommend

[potent portal]

For what?

[south cliff]

Blue screen

When I opened it up

[potent portal]

Then it's unstable

[south cliff]

Ok so what do I do

[potent portal]

Go back into bios and we'll fix the timings

[south cliff]

Ok

I’m here

[potent portal]

Advanced memory settings

[south cliff]

Ok

Memory timing

?

[potent portal]

Yep, what does it look like right now?

[south cliff]

Real time memory?

[potent portal]

They've changed the bios from when I last did Gigabyte tuning

Hmm

[analog pulsar]

what they trying to do

I have a gigabyte mobo and i played in bios even maybe i shouldnt have

[potent portal]

Memory timings

[analog pulsar]

That's under memory channel timings

[south cliff]

The very bottom

[analog pulsar]

Wait wait

Wait

[potent portal]

Standard timings need to be changed to 16-18-18-18-38

[analog pulsar]

Oh then yea that's the place

This place is for the other timings

[potent portal]

Yeah that's for XMP and frequency

[analog pulsar]

@south cliff yes open that and send screenshot

[potent portal]

Right, starting with CAS latency set them to 16-18-18-38

[south cliff]

Like this

?

[potent portal]

Yep

Save and exit, and try TM5 again

[south cliff]

Ok

Yup blue. Screen

[paper summit]

Haha that happens alot to me lol

[potent portal]

Well so much for that. Guess you're better off with XMP at this point.

You'd need a better memory kit, this one is scuffed

[south cliff]

Ok thanks for trying to help

[paper summit]

Ughhhhhh single core cinebench takes sooo long

[analog pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C9Rdcb how much wrong with this list

[paper summit]

Evga n1

Gtx 1630 💀

[analog pulsar]

I tried to make a list for a gaming pc under $500 brain malfunction in the middle of it

[woven horizon]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/125563170181

Gaming pc under $500

[analog pulsar]

Ebay

[woven horizon]

Just add a PSU and case.

[analog pulsar]

I don't trust ebay

[woven horizon]

https://pages.ebay.com/ebay-money-back-guarantee/index.html

This is why I trust eBay.

Even if the item says no returns it forces them to return it if broken or damaged.

[analog pulsar]

Yea but they can say all they want

[potent portal]

Ebay almost always sides with the buyer

[woven horizon]

I've been using ebay a long time. Only issue ive had is sellers that dont respond. In those cases they side with the buyer.

[analog pulsar]

I trust online shopping as far as I can throw it

[potent portal]

As a seller I've had issues but I know how to cover my butt, plus I offer warranties on everything

[potent portal]

You can throw your phone pretty far though

[south cliff]

it says 6 errors without the oc

[analog pulsar]

No I'm weak

[woven horizon]

If you order from amazon then you should trust eBay.

[paper summit]

Falcie

[analog pulsar]

Amazon accepts refunds for no reason

[potent portal]

Yikes so it wasn't stable to begin with, and that's not even the extreme profile

[paper summit]

Think i can do 2.5 ghz 5700g igpu

[south cliff]

what should i do

maybe i didnt put the timings back

[woven horizon]

Yeah and so will ebay, if the seller declines ebay will extend the return or refund you and you keep the product.

[paper summit]

Its at 2.45 rn drawing like 80 watts 💀

[south cliff]

and my cpu cooler is going at 100 for no reason

[potent portal]

Load the profile you saved

[south cliff]

ok we will see

[analog pulsar]

But no fr what I wanted to do was maybe build a igpu system for my sister to play bedrock minecraft but I've also seem a 1050 to is better then a 5700G cheap gpu option inside

[paper summit]

Well my 5700g is at 2.5 ghz now and seems to run minecraft fine lol

[south cliff]

bro my fans are ramping up for no reason

[paper summit]

Rip

[analog pulsar]

Well yea it will run fine but ik a gpu will produce more FPS probs while being cheaper maybe

[paper summit]

Depends

[meager shale]

Cool

[paper summit]

Do u still have your old 1050?

[potent portal]

Cheaper? No. Better? Yes

[meager shale]

What

[analog pulsar]

No

[paper summit]

Well just go 5700g and oc it a lil

[meager shale]

No idea what's that 👀

[analog pulsar]

Sus

[paper summit]

I promise u it will run minecraft

[meager shale]

Ohhhh 👀

[paper summit]

I mean its locked 144fps on bedrock edition loll

[meager shale]

Pfft

[analog pulsar]

Sus

[paper summit]

Pfftt pooft pifft

[south cliff]

@potent portal there is even more erros without xmp

[paper summit]

Ok

[south cliff]

now 8

[meager shale]

I

You know Ameca!

[south cliff]

now 10

[meager shale]

?

[analog pulsar]

My brain slowly shutting down

[paper summit]

Sad

[south cliff]

12

[potent portal]

https://youtu.be/AqyspnaPQ5k?t=149

[south cliff]

bro i got 12 errors with no xmp

[analog pulsar]

I looked at 5600G plus 5700G plus 1050 ti and ti took aheqd

[potent portal]

Yeah scuffed memory kit

[south cliff]

oof

[potent portal]

Different people use different settings and get different results, you can't compare different testers

[south cliff]

should i get new ram

[potent portal]

You could RMA the one you have. G.skill does lifetime warranty. They might even give you a better kit.

[south cliff]

well i bought it off ebay

so

yeah'

l

L

but i mean its still fine

[potent portal]

[south cliff]

Yeah

Well that a L

I spent 80 bucks

[potent portal]

G.skill still covers it

[south cliff]

Even if I don’t got the original stuff

[potent portal]

Yes

[south cliff]

Gulp

But I do t got any other ram

I could probably get one of my friends

Also I think my mouse is broke to

[potent portal]

https://www.newegg.com/oloy-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821371

How long ago did you buy the memory? Because $80 for 3000c15 is awful, and if it's failing memory tests you can get a refund within a month.

[south cliff]

Well all I’m going to say is pretty long ago

And ram was high when I bought it

I bought it because my other ram broke

May 9th is when I got it

[meager shale]

Ohhhh games 👀

[south cliff]

well i put in a requset form

so do you think they will accept even to i bought it from ebay

[meager shale]

No info yet

Added to cart

Don't know if it's okay with ebay

[south cliff]

.

[potent portal]

I don't know for sure but I've seen some reddit people that say so

[south cliff]

well we will see

[potent portal]

I doubt they look too closely at the receipt

[south cliff]

Also on there policy it doesent say nothing about it

[autumn wolf]

I have entered the domain of what is Build Chat for advice on a laptop for my little sister for christmas

[brittle spindle]

are there any good laptops for 500-600 dollars for things like buisness?

[potent portal]

Sure, there's plenty that don't have dGPU included

[brittle spindle]

yea i dont need one for gaming

whats a dgpu

[tawny fiber]

Discrete graphics

[potent portal]

Dedicated/Discrete GPU

What you'd normally use for gaming systems or systems that don't have an iGPU on the CPU

Take a look, there's tons even after I filtered a bit

ok thanks ill look

is this one good https://www.newegg.com/p/36B-000P-00162

[analog pulsar]

White white all I see is white

[frigid night]

Whats a cheap, but good airflow case?

I was thinking cougar line, but not sure which one is the good one.

[stoic island]

how cheap is cheap

ballpark price

[frigid night]

Well.. I have an $800 budget to put a pc together and I'd like a good gpu to throw in.

[stoic island]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811553082

[frigid night]

But it can't go above $800

[potent portal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/V8Dkcf/cougar-mx331-mesh-x-atx-mid-tower-case-mx331-mesh-x

[frigid night]

Thats what I was thinking, but I hadn't remembered if archon was ever listed here.

[frigid night]

Hm. Soo.. they are same price. This one better for the airflow?

Although doesn't have the tempered glass side panel

[potent portal]

I think the archon looks better, and does come with (cheap) rgb fans

But if you're not into a white build I can find other options

[stoic island]

archon comes with more fans than the mx311 mesh x

[frigid night]

Alright. I think white will be fine. I'll be throwing my own fans in.

I have way to many fans, may as well get some $ back for them.

[potent portal]

For a while I did push/pull on my 240mm rad just to use some of my extra fans and fill out some space in the case

I'd probably do it now if I had more P14s

[frigid night]

Will this be ok for a 12400?
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zr8bt6/id-cooling-se-214-xt-argb-682-cfm-cpu-cooler-se-214-xt-argb

[potent portal]

Probably

[frigid night]

I really suck at making builds. I have a strict $800 budget for a solid gaming rig and this is what I've come up with, but I'm already over budget and haven't added a PSU yet. May I get some help please?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pVQksL

[stoic island]

if mir is fine
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BFLGDq

[frigid night]

Hm. Even without the mir, the promo discount drops price to 805. I think that's within margin of sucking it up and paying the extra $5.

Thank you.

Is there a better/cheaper amd gpu than the 3060ti? Or are prices evened out atm?

[stoic island]

6700xt is better raster

[empty pollen]

well at that level raster is the only thing that matters

[frigid night]

Yeah and with the mir with a 6700xt on there, it makes the build $750

[limber oyster]

I found out why my work computers are so slow

They run AVG/Avast/McAfee anti virus softwares and AVG/Avast/Firefox/Chrome browsers.

And someone downloaded an Android emulator app

[potent portal]

At the same time?

[limber oyster]

Yes

Well....the anti-malware software's at the same time

Not the browsers

[potent portal]

Well everyone knows that's the best antivirus, have them so slow they're unusable

Can't use it, no virus

[limber oyster]

Next chance I get, imma grab the windows key, grab my windows installation disk, and reinstall a fresh version of windows w/o all those malware causing softwares

The disk is constantly running at 100% because of of all the anti-malware softwares

[empty pollen]

[potent portal]

Well they have to check each other to make sure the others don't catch something they didn't, so then they can fight over who gets to quarantine it while one of them silently moves it out of quarantine and into its own

[frigid night]

And then the others send covert agents to sneak into the other's base and nab it and take it back to theirs.

[limber oyster]

All those instances

[fossil cedar]

You summoned me?

[frigid night]

Yes, magical genie. What do you have for me?

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WT8GDq

Get genie'd

[frigid night]

5600 over 12100?

[fossil cedar]

Imo yes unless you want upgradability

I would definitely take 6 cores over 4

[frigid night]

Yeah, I think he wanted to upgrade in the future.

[fossil cedar]

Hmmm

[frigid night]

Wanted to be able to*

[fossil cedar]

I mean like how far in the future tho?

[frigid night]

He originally wanted a laptop with the $800 budget.

[fossil cedar]

Like unless it would be to 13th gen then i wouldn't bother with 12100

[frigid night]

But he kept finding things with 10th gen intel or things with 3050s or 1650s

So he told me to make a list for $800 budget.

[frigid night]

Atm he has strict $800. I think he would be fine with the 12100.. could upgrade to 13th gen later? But that would require a z690 huh.

[potent portal]

B660 can do 13th gen

[frigid night]

Ah ok

[fossil cedar]

Yeah it just depends when he wants to actually upgrade, most people wouldn't have an issue with a 5600 for a good few years

And imo it'll deff age better than a 12100

[limber oyster]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GmX8v3

How bad is this for a game like Forza horizon 4 and 5, at 1080p 60hz, medium high graphics (the most GPU intensive game I'd use it with)

[fossil cedar]

You already have any of that?

[limber oyster]

No

And probably won't till early next year

Late February early March

I'm set on the case though

[fossil cedar]

I'd scrap most of that list, mainly to do with the cpu and fans etc

But there's no point making a list til closer the time to buying

[limber oyster]

Prices can't increase THAT much?

[fossil cedar]

Change usually different ones drop etc

And new parts will be out

But 3600 is not a good choice new in 2022

[limber oyster]

I dont need the newest top of the line parts

[fossil cedar]

Yes but it's bad value

[limber oyster]

Like I said, it'll be 1080p 60hz

Not even 144

[fossil cedar]

Yes but no point wasting money

[limber oyster]

How much of a performance difference is between the 5600 and 3600? They're around the same price, around 20USD difference rn

The top 6 games I'll be playing are BeamNG, Skyrim, various Minecraft mod packs, forza horizon 4 and 5, as well as borderlands 2

[frigid night]

A good bit better. At only $20 more, it's a no brainer to go for the 5600 no matter what games you play.

[fossil cedar]

Pretty big

[frigid night]

Close to 20% yeah?

[fossil cedar]

I mean this list will not be great in a months time but if you where to build now I'll put a list together

@limber oyster you have a budget then? Because well you'll get more than 60fps unless you're trying to play maybe ultra with a modern gpu

[limber oyster]

The screen I'll be using is a 60hz

Budget is $1100 max

[fossil cedar]

Things like you can save on the ssd deff, and going like 16gb ram instead or something

Fps over your screen makes a big difference still btw

[limber oyster]

I'd rather 32GB just because of some of the mod packs I use

[fossil cedar]

@limber oyster you'll wanna change the list in a few months time but atm this is what I'd do, (or even go up to a 6600xt or 6650xt or something if you want a better gpu) (higher fps over monitor res is still quite noticeable btw but) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MyDY78

[limber oyster]

I don't have a say in monitor so...

And it's less of a monitor more of a tv

[fossil cedar]

Still sane effect

TVs are just big monitors

[limber oyster]

Fair

But I still don't have a say on what tv I use/the refresh rate on them

[fossil cedar]

That's fine

[limber oyster]

I use whats available. Sometimes might be better than 1080p 60hz, but most of the time that's what they'd be

So I'm aiming for medium, maybe high graphics on Forza and then I can go down slightly if need be

[fossil cedar]

Also if the case doesn't come with fans I'd just grab some arctic p12 or p14 as they are way cheaper and better than the noctua ones you picked

Oh maybe not you licked industrial ones but they're a waste of money either way

[limber oyster]

What do you think do the GPU model too? I'm debating the ASRock or the gigabyte eagle. Leaning towards ASRock because it's smaller

[fossil cedar]

Ye the asrock one

[limber oyster]

👍

[solar scaffold]

Hi, I am planning on buying a new laptop and I am confused on two laptops - ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503 and ASUS ROG Strix G15 G513. Which one should I buy?

[mossy venture]

Zephyrhus as long as they're similarly priced or it's less expensive, and they have similar specs

[solar scaffold]

I think that zephyrus is 100$ or something more expensive

[dim forge]

what do you think abt this build

I'll buy the gpu in february/march

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tkYksL

[coarse coral]

should i

[fossil cedar]

That's fine but I'd get 3600c18 ram instead of 3200

[drowsy zodiac]

hey @fossil cedar what does the rx6600 compare to on nvidia

[fossil cedar]

The non xt? Like a 2060 super iirc

The 6600xt is like a 3060

[drowsy zodiac]

alr alr

what fps would that pull in most modern games at 1080p?

ex, Cod,fortnite,forza?

[fossil cedar]

Ehh best to look at reviews

Hardware unboxed and gamers nexus are the best for that type of stuff imo

[drowsy zodiac]

okay cool

[dim forge]

most games 60hz ultra settings according to the reviews/benchmarks I've seen

and e-sports on 144+

Is not very good at rt but it's an amd entry card so...

[hot monolith]

Can anybody help me with the wiring on my g360a case? The RGB cables aren't pre-wired and I'm not sure if I put the power ones in the right places

[drowsy zodiac]

valid valid i just want something basic that can handle the games i wann’s play

[dim forge]

so 3600cl18 instead of 3200cl16 right?

[mossy venture]

does case have to be white?

[dim forge]

nope but it's the cheapest model

color*

I thought of core v1 but I don't like the case even though it's cheaper and it fits an atx psu

[mossy venture]

and does it have to be mitx?

[dim forge]

yeah I want to build a mini build to carry when I travel

[hot monolith]

can anyone help with my RGB cables idk what to do please

[mossy venture]

@fossil cedar you around?

or @stoic island

[stoic island]

wot

[mossy venture]

to help the dude with the cables, I'm not sure how to

[stoic island]

what about them

[hot monolith]

Idk how to show it, I can't send images

But I have 3 of what I think are RGB cables meant to be daisy chaines

A thing that says SATA

A thing that has 3 holes in it for pins

And one cable that has a daisy chain thing(I think) connected to a male 3 pin thing

[stoic island]

rgb fan or rgb strip

if it's 3 pin argb, plug female connector into motherboard header

[hot monolith]

It's ok, I hink I got it sorted

[analog pulsar]

Will this run valuraont and minecraft and dishonored

[little osprey]

Just build

Cheaper fun and choice of design

[analog pulsar]

@little osprey it's not for me

[wild peak]

Is a 6800 XT worth it if my monitor is only 1080i

[stoic island]

for that price get at least 3060ti

[analog pulsar]

Send abs pc with 3060 ti

[stoic island]

not really, unless you want 240fps in triple a games for some reason

Is building pc hard

[analog pulsar]

Plus need 2

[analog pulsar]

Isn't msi bad

I wouldn't trust msi as far as I can throw

https://youtu.be/TpTrrIsMGXU

Ik it's a different pc name but it'd still a prebuilt from msi how do we know they didn't screw up the codex line of pcs

[stoic island]

different case

[analog pulsar]

Yea but what about the bent ssd still and msi changing bios and 100C cpu

[stoic island]

nothing is changed with bios, it's some wacky settings

[potent portal]

All of which can be fixed with little knowledge

[stoic island]

different case means better thermals

[analog pulsar]

Yea but she just wanted to get a pc out of box working no changing stuff just a pc that works

[stoic island]

like xmp not on is normal for prebuilts, just turn it on

if you have weird power plan settings, just change the power plan settings

100c cpu was because of the crap case, linked has better case

[analog pulsar]

The 100C I'm not talking about temp I'm talking about msi makes the pc think it's at 100C and ramps up the fans to 100%

[stoic island]

bent ssd I'm counting as a fluke because steve didn't even know why it was like that

what

the 100% thing?

[stoic island]

that's the weird power plan thing

[analog pulsar]

Hm

Also isn't 12400F better then 11400F

[stoic island]

yes

[analog pulsar]

The abs I sent has 12400F but 3060

[stoic island]

yes

[analog pulsar]

Then which one better cpu or better gpu

[stoic island]

rather have better gpu for the games that aren't as easy to run

[drowsy zodiac]

lowkey my parts come in tomorrow and im kinda nervous🤣

Any one available to answer questions about adding a second hard drive to my new Laptop?

MSI GL Series - 15.6" 144 Hz IPS - Intel Core i9 12th Gen 12900H (2.50GHz) - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU - 32 GB DDR4 - 1 TB PCIe SSD - Windows 11 Pro 64-bit - Gaming Laptop (Pulse GL66 12UEK-688 )

I am looking for a Black Friday Deal Archive hard drive to add to this lap top asap. I am hoping to find an internal drive 75 – 50 percent off.

[languid nimbus]

Hmm, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to fit another internal drive. They’re usually limited in space, being a laptop and all. Best bet may be to get an external drive

[quasi arrow]

I was hoping a New egg or MSI tech could answer that question.

Not finding the right contact number yet.

[languid nimbus]

Kk good luck

[quasi arrow]

TY

[limber oyster]

....I hate black Friday

Really really hate it

[stoic island]

Looks like you just have two m.2 slots, you could throw in something like this into the second slot if you just need extra storage
