wave I've got a need for a recommendation on a X790 board. I've got:
Intel 13900K
RTX 4090
GSkill 32 GB (2 sticks) @6000MT/s
1000 Corsair PSU
who are we trusting these days on boards for the X790?
obsidian wigeon
z790? those aren't even out yet
obsidian wigeon
z690 is newest you can go
which should support 13th gen with bios update
many z690 boards has flashback
cyan citrus
Ok. Well, in the case of preorder -- who are the board mfgs of choice these days? I want something with PCIe 5 for the card and m.2 of course
I have a use case to stay bleeding edge. I do a LOT of benchmarks and we are seeing a somewhat solid amount of reduction with the 690 boards
so the 790 is likely overkill/pointless for most. But that's not my case
obsidian wigeon
Can't really say without reviews
cyan citrus
also, I'll be reviewing PCIe 5 PSUs, etc.
I've been using Aorus boards for a few generations, and I feel like it's an area where I might at least look around a bit...
obsidian wigeon
Aorus is almost always good
proper ether
obsidian wigeon
The extra band merely exists because 6 ghz band isn't very widely used yet
So there's very little inteference

@analog hearth can you answer this for me please.
analog hearth
the MP33 has speeds of 1500 to 1800 MBps. PCIe 3.0 goes up to roughly 1000 MBps
if you wanted my advice, I would say to just change the boot drive (the 3.0 drive) to the 3.0 slot and put the new 4.0 drive in the 4.0 slot
the boot times will probably be marginal, and loading screens probably take up the same time as boot times (assuming the same drive), but you’ll come across loading screens more often
so, the 4.0 drive will have 4.0 speeds, therefore quicker loading times than a single boot time that’s probably already quick enough

analog hearth
oh then yeah for sure swap the slots
upper ore
oh then yeah for sure swap the slots
This is a stupid question because it's in the name. But does the boot drive only effect how fast the pc boots up?
analog hearth
I’m sorry I misread when I was reading about PCIe speeds. so, that PCIe slot is a gen 3.0 slot (that is, the one I’m recommending you switch your boot drive to). I believe that slot has two lanes, and PCIe 3.0 can go up to 1GB per second per lane. there are two lanes on the 3.0 slot on your motherboard, so that actually puts it at a maximum of 2GBps. your MP33 can go up to 1800MBps. therefore, you wouldn’t see a difference if you swapped the slots
sorry for the long paragraph lol
and, the 4.0 lane supports 2GBps per lane, and there are 4 lanes on that slot. so, 8GBps, and the 850x I think does around 7.3GBps(?)

Can any ram work on any motherboard as long as it supports the speed?
empty pollen
the mobo must have the correct socket
ddr4 for ddr4, ddr5 for ddr5, and so on
once you pass that check both your mobo and your cpu should support the ram kit speed
if not then your kit will underperform, it will work nonetheless
but as long as the socket is the right one then the ram should work
brittle spindle
Ok I see
fossil cedar
once you pass that check both your mobo and your cpu should support the ram kit ...

its not, oof.
it available anywhere else? if not got another recommendation?
ahh newegg has one for 330
ill take it.
this is the correct one right?
wouldnt i want the warranty with IPS?
dont want entier thing to have Bleed and get screwed.
i dont care tbh, if it works ill take whatever.
just worried when it comes to IPS
if its fine, shoot me a link to the open box version or whatever.
i just want the best looking monitor with the best colors tbh.
if it gets over 120fps im fine.

When installing an AIO with the radiator at the top of the case, is it better to have the pipes coming out from the waterblock towards the front of the case, or towards the back? I saw a build video with the pipes coming out towards the back of the case, and the pipes kinda hang close to the rear fan, which makes me feel uneasy

Doesn't matter
Pipes are more resilient than you might think and fan blades are typically not that sharp

the 4th pin is the pwm pin, if you set it to pwm mode, bios does stuff with signal via the pwm pin
if it can't do pwm, the fan will just run at full speed with no control

never a need, but their budget can allow for 1000$, since previous list was 1200$, and I'd like to get them 3060ti

If the board can support 128gig, why not install 128gig?

you can run 16gbs on a budget, 32gb as the sweet spot, anything above that should be justified (content creator, video editing, cad... etc) because the more ram you put the more difficult for your controller to handle, and that will result in a lose of performance
you can put 128gb if you want and your budget allows, but that would mean lower performance if you cant justify it
most games are pretty comfortable at 16gbs tho

Sweet. What do rgb headers usually plug into?
to rgb headers on your mobo

That makes sense. Thank you.

I checked like 10 times to make sure it was on correctly

New question. Since I'm now aiming for 32gb of ram, is it better to install 4 8gb sticks or 2 16gb sticks? Other than cost, is there a major performance difference between ddr4, ddr5, and ddr6? My goal here is to build a pc that will last awhile. My currenty pc is going on 7 years so its time for an upgrade.

2x16gb unless you're upgrading from a 2x8gb kit that you know what die (ram chip) it uses and can match that.
Ddr4, 5 etc are just generations of ddr (double data rate)
Ddr6 isn't a thing yet so if you see that it's probably GDDR6 or GDDR6X which is vram for your gpu (graphics card)
Honestly you probably won't want to hold on to a pc for seven years usually you're better buying for mid to high end now then in 3-4 years upgrading the gpu for example to a newer mid to high end gpu, will probably work out the same or cheaper than just getting the most expensive thing you can now and it will be outperformed by something way cheaper in a few years

I did this with my last build. Swapped the gpu out a few years ago.

Ah okay it's not really 7 years old then 😛

Thanks for the help, I'll post my build idea once I look at some more stuff. Is there any performance issues if I have an amd processer and nvidia gpu?
Is it better to just go with amd with everything?

Okay, I've got a very, VERY basic question, being pretty dense when it comes to building computers, or upgrading them:
Assuming I were to get a:
- GOLDEN FIELD GPG750 Power Supply 750W Full Modular 80+ Gold Certified Computer PC ATX PSU 5 Years Warranty ( https://www.newegg.com/p/1HU-016G-00015?Item=9SIB30PFND8303 )
And a:
- MAXSUN GeForce RTX 3080 iCraft OC 10GB GDDR6X 320-Bit Computer Video Gaming Graphics Card (https://www.newegg.com/maxsun-geforce-rtx-3080/p/1FT-009J-000B8?Description=rtx 3080&cm_re=rtx_3080-_-1FT-009J-000B8-_-Product&quicklink=true )
...could I plug them into a custom PC that can already run the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, DOOM Eternal, and Borderlands 3 without any issues? Or would I need to upgrade the motherboard, too?
