I have a crappy one
but I will surely get a new one
for the last time, do you think RX is my best bet at this point? For editing and occasional gaming?
it will be the biggest investment that I will be making probably
I want it to be perfect :)
Yep
np
one last thing
Go for it
do you think the GPU will weight too much to carry in the bag (most likely in the checked in one), and how much is the chance of it getting damaged meanwhile?
usually gpus are well protected inside their boxes, but some extra cushion outside will help as well
that extra cushion depends on you
Unless you throw it around, the GPU inside the sealed box it comes in is going to be just fine
true, most of them are well protected in foam inside the box
Weight shouldn't be too much of an issue, if it fits, it should be fine
I will make that happen
no, I mean I will have a kilograms limit, most likely 21 kilograms of checked in bag
and my backpack
I don't trust anyone, so I will carry that in my backpack ahaha
Just weigh it before you head to the airport
Take stuff from your bag and put into your luggage as needed
of course
should be around 4 to 6 pounds most of the time, but thats on you, weight it as well before setting your luggage
now, it is too late, I will go over RX models and pick the best one in a few days
but I narrowed down my broad searching path from RTX and RX, to only RX
which is awesome
performance is killing it as I saw benchmark as well
only thing is Ray tracing and DLSS
fsr is almost at par with dlss, and raytracing is meaningless on 30/6000 series anyway
nice
RX also costs more less
ops, did I say something wrong lol
At 4k maybe?
I'm playing the Metro Exodus PC enhanced edition which is fully raytraced on a 3060ti
Get about 60fps outdoors with DLSS set to quality
Mix of high and ultra settings, 1440p
I sold my old rx 570 for $40, but now I’m thinking it was undervalued, am I wrong?
it's nice but I can't imagine shelling out $4600 like that
Sorry about ping I'm just being dumb
my brother wants to me save photos from his mac before blowing it out. will photos saved from mac be savable/openable on windows?
why not? if they are jpg sure
alright, thankks
That's the key, make sure are jpg or such instead some bs apple format.
all good I don't get all up in arms about that lol

Do ultra graphics look the same on a every gpu at the same fps? I know ue5 has dynamic Tessellation so would a 4090 day at 60fps have more tessalation then a 3070 at 60fps? Or would they be identical give or take some fps
With every setting the same it should look the same
Hwinfo64 or GPU-Z are both easy programs to check
its not in anyones systems
Take a picture of it again if you can?
the sticker that says 570 doesnt seem to be in the right place as you can see where a previous sticker was. I got it from a shady company so I am skeptical about it
wouldnt matter, these came out of prebuilts when lyte technolgy sent us the wrong gpus, and 250gb hdds instead of the 1tb. terrible company, they did that with all 3 prebuilts
they eventually gave us the proper cards but then never provided the information or would pay the shipping to send these back
so 3 years later, I dont need em
Well gpu-z is your friend for knowing
Or you could spend hours scouring techpowerup images
I know, I considered it, but nobody is around to help me swap em, I cant do it alone with cerebral palsy.
the other 2 cards are clearly marked rx570 4gb. but they are gigabyte with a heatplate. instead of the one msi
They're all the same?
2 of them are gigabyte rx 570 4gb with a backplate like above, the one I cant identify is msi
that when searched the numbers says its a 460, 570 or 580
I wish it would make up its mind
here,
the backside of the pcb has these
f-1 e305n6596bb
Model MS-v341
MSIP-REI-MSI-MS-V341
the fan side of the pcb says v341 ver 2.1
I think its this 480 4gb...
the stickers underlined in red is where there is glue showing stickers there before and the green is where the not so legit 570 sticker is placed.
the back of the card looks IDENTICLE to this
If it looks identical then it'll be likely
I find it conveinant the stickers are in the exact same spot
well were, until they were replaced with scam stickers
thats what I get for not knowing much about computers when I ordered them
It happens
black friday sale was too good to be true
570 is effectively the same as a 480 at least
stickers in the same spot
but where the bottom left stick is, is a red white and black Rx 570 sticker. why tf do they all look the same?
It's most likely not 480, the heat pipe doesn't stick out as much on the 480
570 image from tpu for reference
Although 470 design looks basically the same from the front
ok, well if it is a 570. now the only question is 4gb or 8?
judging by the photos you posted im gonna say 570
Same thing on the PCB of 470 and 570 it seems, they might've reused the pcb
Although lemme check again
the one I have has 1 hdmi and 3 dp if that helps
Both 470 and 570 has 3 dp 1 HDMI 1 dvi d
what was that software that would detect it? ill see if I can get someone over to swap em out temp
it wont mess up my nvidia drivers will it?
Just don't download the Radeon drivers, use GPUz
are you able to put that on a usb
Probably..? It's like 5mb
Acer Bifrost a770 is back in stock https://www.newegg.com/acer-predator-bifrost-intel-arc-a770-oc/p/N82E16814553001
So the xt has 1 of the 6 xtx dies disabled is it has 17% less dies. So 17% of 999$ is 830 ish. So you are overpaying 70$. 40$ would be meaningless and I’m sure it has 30$ of value missing somewhere? Are the dies physical disabled, cut?, or is the max output limited and all 6 dies work ?
Nvm. McDaniel
They said in reviews that the 7900 XT was basically an upsell for the XTX
^
Just don't think too much of it
XTX better value, period
Also disabling die doesn't mean cost is decreased accordingly to the amount remaining
It's not a linear curve
7900XT shoulda been like a 799 card tops
Just like the 4080 exists to make the 4090 look good
magical night light
i like that case
nr200 is so prettyyy ayee

He's aight
Reorist you are a troll man
I can’t take you seriously
You just want to see the world burn dog
How am I trolling?
Not my vibe
imagine building a computer where shoes go
But aren't you a basic white girl already?

lol @frigid night called you a basic white girl
I know she isn't white. I'm just bored.
I just realized what that was.
well what seems to be the problem, Officer?
discord has a pretty limited selection of gifs for fanning flames
oh wooow
what's it like hitting tj max on stonk settings?
Lol
"hardly" doesn't & "it doesn't" mean two different things lol
wait a few months lol
I know it's almost like putting those components as close together as possible combined with no front intake & little to no space for bottom intake isn't helping or something
I prefer omnipotent but close enough
now you're the telephonic one! how did you know they just hired me
damn where heatsink?
lol
hmm
sounds ripe for more excellent thermal performance
but you heart air coolers
btw serious question
in the NR200, if you flip the back fan to be intake would it help at all? you have top exhaust so
since like CPU cooler would probably use the cool air coming in & stuff
I think I remember you telling me ya
what CPU is going in there?
oh alright so pretty much 3090 is the only real thermal concern I guess then
oh I impulse bought a 13600K
should be here Monday I think
after I beat the crap out of it for hw boints we can discuss it going in your fancy shoe box lmao
well heck when you put it like that...
will that bottleneck 3090 at some point?
lol DR bdie + 3090 + i3
(I guess you can likely guess where this conversation is about to go in 5... 4... 3...)
bdie when?
4k? 4k+?
niice
I haven't been tuning A-die for the past few days cuz I put 1080ti in 12900K build for hwboints
ya dunno why bios was so borked
okay I'll be here when you're ready to tell sad thermal stories
What switches?
Also.. how does that v8 energy taste?
The ones in your pic look brown though?
Ah k
Rough
I've been using K55 more cuz the cherry silver or whatever on my other keyboard are so noisy. Membrane switches aren't thaaat bad
Yea t1s aren't as good as u4t prelubed
Have they fixed windows 11? Should I update to it or stick to windows 10?
I just remember awhile back that windows 11 had alot of problems.
But imo I wouldn't upgrade just cause win 11 has some annoying changes to the ui
I got used to it myself
What all changed?
Some stuff are more buried inside menus
Like the context menu having less options on display, some pretty useful to have easily accessible hidden away in a button that brings up the rest
What's good about windows 11 that windows 10 doesn't have?
None honestly
Alright lol
It's pretty much a new skin
Tabs in windows explorer I guess, but that's recently added
Win11 is really good if cpu has Ecores, otherwise indeed don't bother yet. Part of why I like the 12400 & such. Gonna be a while until I snag a 13600k or such.
^
Yeah I don't think it'll be as good for me since I have the 5800X3D
Right. Personally some of ui changes would be a definite downgrade for me.
yeah sadly, e-cores need win 11 😦
i like win11 ui better for the most part
the new right click menu and start menus not so much
but startallback fixes that
i believe some minor improvements in gaming performance have been measured on win11 even on cpus without e-cores
but it's nothing too crazy
Good when a newer os improves performance for a change though. I actually found a $150ish 12600K on Ebay. My wallet hates me, but soon enough I can replace the old E8400 build also. 
Literally an itx case also the node 202> all cases
No doubt
With a little case modding it’s just so op
The pc gods need to nerf it
Beyond op
Says right there
Itx
Look at the board layout right there
Itx
Right in the middle there
You need to instal an extension kit to support atx
You literally need an extra piece to instal an atx motherboard
You need to install an additional 2 inches of back space
Same width you need the bracket
Itx is a different width
Matx and atx are the same width. It only supports itx natively without a bracket that widens mounting space
WIDTH
Atx and matx same width
Itx not as wide
See
Without bracket
With bracket
You need more back space for an atx or matx board
Oh is this the changing the slots for different boards thing
What the heck is that
Mine doesn't have that
Terrible look

Here is matx
O11 mini air just accepts my ATX
It’s designed for itx
Both matx and atx require an additional bracket
Only supports itx natively
This case
It looks amazing
It's as big as a mid tower
It has a footprint wider than a mid tower, it's just not as tall lol
Not wider
No it's footprint is as big as the o11 pretty much
It does not support a full size power supply
The mini doesn't
That’s not true
But the mini air does
Yes
Does not rommy
Yes
The mini air does
No
But it's not inherently ITX
Only sfx power supplies
It literally is
Copage
Major copage
Rommy having regrets
Regretting pc case choice
O11 mini is just not as optimised
011 mini is beautiful
Mini air better
The 001 d though that’s a basic white girl case
Mini has style
It’s different
It has a tiny footprint
It has more volume than my corsair mid towers
I only build in itx
My main reason for changes cases was reducing the amount of size my pc took up on my desk
And i did
He has the air
With the atx psu
Wider footprint
It is
Sure
You can build itx in it
So it is a case -> that supports itx -> itx case
I literally just went over this you need a support bracket to support anything other than itx
For comparison here's the fractal pop
Bracket doesn't mean it's not ATX
I can saw a hole in the node 202 and fit an atx motherboard in it

It only natively supports itx
We aren't sawing holes in the o11 mini tho
But that's like how the evo will do a vert mount with an additional install
Or vented panels or upright gpu
I guess but it’s still an itx case
LOL
Ok we can agree to disagree
Sure
Wha happen

it only natively supports itx

You can make a ton of cases fit an atx motherboard if you change them
Similarly the opposite too
But it only natively supports itx
You need the motherboard stand off widener
You should have used the mjolnir
MJOLNIR has everything you need in a compact mini-ITX case: mind-blowing hardware support, 120 / 240 mm AIO liquid cooling and jaw-dropping RGB lightning.

Ignore what I posted earlier, I was wrong
Still getting out of memory fixing texture or something for my gpu
6700 xt already did ddu
Yo anyone knows a good pre built pc for $700?
there really aren't any around that budget
https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-003P-00043?Item=9SIA08CJPG2698&Description=ABS&cm_re=ABS-_-9SIA08CJPG2698-_-Product&quicklink=true this i guess, but it's still overpriced
I'd just do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LjthLs

if you're comfortable building
Okay thanks
Here is a build I am working on. I will be using it for video editing and some gaming. The gpu I am looking at to get is 6800 or 6800 xt. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Opinions?
Guys, any bugdet itx board to fix a 12400F?
budget and itx cant go in the same sentence 😛
It can, if you consider asrock ☠️
I don't consider $120 for a B660 "budget" when that's still $40 more than mATX
budget for ITX standards
Oh so now we're changing the rules? lol
Mmk
Pcie 3 x16 shouldn't bottleneck any gpu, only the cpu tied to it
yeah thats why i mentioned it later as well
found the z690i at 140usd price, even with all the "shortcomings" still a budget offer for an itx build
cause we all know itx is not budget-friendly at all
im still looking for your german instagram profile 😛 👀
4090 still doesn't really get effected by pcie gen 3
When will deal cember will start?? I mean what date??
For me it’s saying “coming soon”
Specs: Cat
Anyone know why my Pc clicks for multi minutes before turning on
Not anywhere really it just seems like the fans click on and off
While I hold it
Once it boots I’ll change it
U mean how long I hold it?
Because if I don’t nothing happens
After like 3 minutes of holding it it works
Oh
How do I quell this
What cord?
Sorry lol
lil two pin cable
Oh
The green thing?
Oops it’s blurry hold on
I just don’t know which one because I don’t want to break it
Look on your motherboard side, look at where you plug in front io cables too, and check that
When you installed the motherboard into the case, there was a couple of wires from the case that you had to plug into the motherboard, out of those, one is for the power button
They're in like a cluster usually on the bottom right of the motherboard
Yes, and check it's in the right place just in case
Polarity doesn't matter much but just make sure they're plugged into the right pins
Does anyone know of any good ARGB fans that have a low base rpm setting
@stoic island
Check manual for pinout or pinout might be printed below where the pins are there, and match up the connectors with what the pinout says
The pin out would be in the manual for?
What motherboard is it?
B550-f
Here's the pinout from the manual, the pins in red is what the power switch should be plugged into, so check if the connector plugged into these pins is the right connector, and make sure it has good contact
And also, just as a test, you could short those 2 pins and see if it starts up right away
So me holding the button down for a few is normal?
The cable labled “power” seems to be there
The word power is on the bottom of the cable. Should I flip it so it’s facing up?
I’ll turn it on and change fan speeds too
@little osprey what should I change the fan speeds too?
I’m just “calibrating them to be more optimized
No, the only normal thing is if it takes a minute to boot after pressing the power button (sometimes memory training can take a while on first boot), you should not have to hold it down at all
The difference is
Press button (1 second) -> wait (1 minute) -> boot
Is normal
Hold down button (3 minutes) -> boot
Is not
Ik lmao
Ok
Well after messing with cords and changing my fans output I got some rgb on a few fans that had never worked but it does now
Well I just turned it on and it went in like 4 seconds
So
Yes and that is either because I had just turned it off.. or I fixed it
Sorry I got sidetracked from doing something on my pc I needed to do so one sec
@little osprey
Bros pc starts like an old cummins
What happens if you just press it for a second
After they got it to work in 4 seconds instead of the usual 3 minutes, what happens when they just press it for a second now
question
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Phanteks Eclipse G360A ATX Mid Tower
what’s a good pau for that bills?
build psu*
i need 2 know quickly
What gpu?
Yeah but it'll depend on what gpu you're gonna use
What have you already bought and whats left of that budget?
Oh i see the stuff you have purchased
yea
What's left of the budget
Yes
Okay
i’m getting the rest of the parts for christmas besides the boi
gpu
but idk what psu cus that one i’m using is out of stock
i’m not sure
If they are already ordered or not does that affect your 550-600$ budget for the gpu/power supply or is case and ssd included in that 550-600?
Okay I'll do one if others gotten and ond if not
It working like that was simply because I was just turned off now that it’s been off for a few hours back to the regular nonsense
Try jumping the pwr pins to start instead of using the power button
How?
Just grab a screwdriver or something similar and tap the pins where the screwdriver would short between the pins
Anything that’s metal?
Sorry got distracted
If bought case and ssd:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TFWHZw
If not, case is optional but I'd do that the ssd is cheaper and better:

The pins on the mobo or connected to power button
On the Mobo
The two pins that the power button was wired to
The pins labeled pwrsw in the manual
It doesnt boot only clicks like normal
And if you hold the screwdriver there?
Same reaction from pc as if I hold button
Try plugging the PC into a different outlet
If it’s relevant one time I unplugged everything cleaned my entire pc and stuff then it only needed to be pressed.
The next morning it was back to normal
@stoic island clicking as in PSU protections for shorting maybe?
Idk maybe check pcie and eps to make sure eps is in eps
The video showed something that seemed like it just going on and off, power didn't seem like it was shutting off, just really unstable for some reason
@desert gulch
Huh
Before blaming PSU I'd try a different outlet
It’d be hard because it’s plugged into power strip and rigged to all monitors
Who knows, maybe the power strip is the issue lol
What the heck
Absolutely try this first
Nope it does the same in the outlet directly
Hmm
Is it possible to do it in a different room? In case it's the circuit that does your room that has screwed up power
It would suck
If that's the problem you might just need to get an electrician to fix whatever is wrong before it screws with other things lol
But at least you'd know
But first you should figure out what is wrong
It’s been a year+ so if it’s that it’s already happened lol
Will it change anything in nothing is plugged into it?
?
Maybe
Shouldn't matter with booting
If something is shorting? Maybe
Like USB devices can mess up booting but not having devices plugged in shouldn't change anything
Does Wi-Fi adapter have any relevance I doubt it but it’s worth asking
Not really
If it's plugged into a pcie slot, no
USB devices always have a chance of being weird
Ok because my one that came with mobo was DOA so I have a cheap one from Walmart
Took hours to realize
Dif. Outlet different room took 3 seconds
Original out let with only pc no power strip- instantly
But it was after it had recently been on @stoic island
Turn it off and leave it for a few minutes and see what happens then
Should I plug other stuff into it?
Now it's more likely PSU issue but just wait for now
Were everything plugged into the PC while resting previously?
When it went instantly?
The whole time
It was when it took a long time yes
Because things plugged in might be another factor
All plugged into the mobo by usb
Test one thing at a time ig, leave them unplugged for now, and see if you leave the PC off for say 10min and see how long it takes to turn it back on
Unplug everything, might as well, unless you need something
Is this common?
No
I've never seen this before like this way tbh
But a dodgy usb item I could def believe
How I determine which one
You can plug in each usb one by one and power cycle test with each?
In or out of power strip
It works but I feel it’s because it was so recently on
If you count the Wi-Fi adapter 4
Gotta test 1 thing at a time
First we're testing if just taking it off the power strip helped, whether it depends on if it's recently on, then we can test 1 USB device at a time
It’s hard to know whether or not it’s been long enough to prevent the pc from Turing on instantly because it was on
Quick question are all Rx 6600 the same? Like does it matter if it’s from Msi or asrock
Most perform similarly, as long as the cooler isn't trash
How can I tell if the cooler is bad or not
Thin dual fan cards are probably going to be bad
Mech oc is trash for example
Although probably considering it's just a 6600
Alright thanks
Was trying to avoid asking here, but whatever. Trying to think of a final list of parts for a new computer build, but I have no idea what to choose that will fit well. Are any of you able to help out?
just get the cheapest for a 6600 you wont notice tbh
Alright thanks
country and budget?
In the United States, I guess the budget could be ~$1,000.
Will go over if I have to though.
Anyone know of a reliable way to check the value of my PC?
I'd rather go into DMs and discuss, lol
id do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2KnYY9

just asking basically you can kinda estimate from pcs/parts on ebay
@fossil cedar I just don't like using fleabay cause the stuff on there is generally overpriced garbage
theyre usually pretty accurate and best for buying/selling 2nd hand as it offers protection
also alternatively you can ask us
looking to bounce some ideas off of other people, to compare to what im thinking of doing.
$750 budget to upgrade this PC --> https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QKkVPX
usecase:
Livestreaming
Video editing in premier
1440p gaming, mostly modded minecraft with high end shaders
requirements:
mainly focused on getting better FPS in modded minecraft with shaders.
would like to still be able to reuse ram, CPU cooler has to be replaced for LGA 1700
needs more storage, preferably SSD.

@fossil cedar https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GsPR9r
Part List - Intel Core i5-13600K, GeForce GTX 1080, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
this was my thought on it
afaik we dont really need a GPU upgrade for the usecase
Minecraft shaders can be GPU bound
eh 1080 for 1440p isnt great especially with shaders and honestly i 5700x performs pretty well in MC iirc
Prob could do 12600kf with cheap b660 board and do freezer 34 duo
And use the rest of that money to find some crazy GPU deal
ah okay
gotta get off the GPU encoder
12600k price isn't as good so maybe 13600k still but you shouldn't need z790
Isn't this a good time for nvenc?
Could prolly just stick a turing or ampere in and be done methinks
Just gotta do b660 w bios flashback, like ds3h
Qsv supposed to be really nice for editing
Idk if I'd trust ds3h with an i5K tbh
Maybe b660 msi pro or a mid asrock
Gaming x ax?
Or bazooka
no b660 msi has flashback
im not building it. so the person buying it isnt very tech savvy and i dont want to put them in a position where they have to do a bios update without a CPU

helping a youtuber friend out
Maybe they could wait for b760 and how 13400 or equivalent works out?
Z690 pro rs has flashback for 140 iirc
potentially
but i think a 13600k would be a better long term investment
and maybe next year they'll do a GPU upgrade when they have the funds to do a upgrade again
to a RTX 4060 or something
Or just, 12400?
this seems like perf choice for nvenc then
12400 + ds3h would work
Or 12600k with cheap b660 for now if they can't wait
I love the 12100.
E cores should help for editing
About as high as I would go with ds3h
QSV > nvenc
Bit like pato's list
much better? because without it they could get a 3060 ti or something in their budget
Ah
the vast majority of their time is spent playing minecraft
i dont really think a 3060ti makes sense'
shaders can hit the gpu hard tho
3060 Ti and RT MC makes sense to me
Minecraft shaders usually just need raster, it's not true rt
Wait what
ye
It's not even combined with the rest of it?
Rtx is only bedrock
the one everyone plays is java but the one with rt is bedrock
i'll look at it
AMD's encoder caught up a bit ago, it's on par now with nvenc
Then yeah I would say AMD then
Qsv is also really good soo
ik this but didnt know the exact use
also damn i ain't buying anything from newegg's website directly 
You need to get OBS to work with it
Qsv will help for editing and might be good enough for streaming too
I believe it's a mod, 1111 knows
im trying to play around with the parts list, ive got the budget to potentially allow for a $330 GPU upgrade
but i cant see a 6650xt being a worthwhile upgrade over a GTX 1080
330 would get 6700
Never actually used amd encoder but obs will be able to use it
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600K, Radeon RX 6700, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
im thinking something like this
with the extra budget coming from him selling me his GTX 1080
like $125~
id still do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fMgk3y

Change the cooler to a cheaper dual tower if you want to use that i5
you lose out on a lot for content creation with that option though @fossil cedar
I can't remember if PA120 non-SE is still cheap
like what?
Qsv
they already has cooler
Qsv helps with acceleration and 12600k performs better than 5700x for content creation in general
Cooler wise freezer 34 duo is 10$ less if that makes any difference
True, just getting the adapter would be better
What cooler is on there? A lot of brands will give the bracket free
AG620 would be the cheaper option
That would add enough for the 6750XT
over a 34 duo
Nah if you must do dual tower do this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/476p99/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-white-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa120-white
the H100i V2 is not compatible with LGA 1700. corsair doesnt make a LGA 1700 bracket for it @potent portal @cyan ravine
C*rsair strikes again
they dont have a black pa120 at the same sale

big ole white CPU cooler looks weird in a all black build

Push for the AMD XT
id probably do this with the extra money then (NV2 just went backorder only) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FRbBtn
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600K, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
the cooler is not compatible with the 12600k @fossil cedar
i just explained that
lol
h100i v2 is not on the list
Ima have a look
they need wifi @austere condor
Wait did nv2 sell out?
yeah backorder only
I wish p41 plus price drops further
$750
or potentially $125 on top if i want to buy his GTX 1080
but that would still be like $100, cause shipping and paypal fee
the SP-XD80 is the next best option @fossil cedar @stoic island
id go a60
5$ more I'd go for it for the bit better perf
well its 10$ more but sure
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600K, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
3400/3000 vs 2200/1600
6$ over
for $10 more
$31 over
- $100
was thinking $125, but that gets cut down to nearly only $100 cause of shipping and paypal fee
naw
12600k
what about this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TMQXqm
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600K, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
888 work?
could drop to a60 to save money
could also drop to b660 ds3h is needed
Part List - Intel Core i5-12400, Radeon RX 6750 XT, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
Rip the 380 6750 is gone
Actually I like this one more
No idea how good silver soul is but it ticks the principle boxes
Like if I took anything else out, I would go 12400 at that point
i prefer the one slightly over budget but this would work too for slightly just over budget https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XCPR9r
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600K, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
Ooo a60 so cheap
But I wouldn't do ds3h with that 12600k
cause i can buy the 8700k/board/aio and 1080 from him
sell the cpu board and cooler?
bringing it to what exactly?
960
might actually try to pick out my build myself slowly
gonna ask for help making sure it is actually a good build lol
Part List - Intel Core i5-13600K, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Cougar Panzer ATX Mid Tower
What about this
Yes, aware of the bios update
If he can pull it off, then he could fit a cpu in that will last many years
or could do this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J9Z6gb

What's 6800 start at?
510 :/
Kekek
can be done but not with 12600k
^ could have done this for 700

yeah?
i think thats the one
though im not keen on recommending a asrock GPU
Asrock gpus are good
It's the boards that are bleh
And even then, this coming gen of asrock boards we're hearing better things for once
its because they have sanic board
Sonic sponsorship giving millions for better board /jk
sonic mobo gives 10000 extra fps
Gotta go fast
hi i realized making a monitor an aio pc was not practical and took too much power
i ended up building a cyberdeck instead
Hello looking to build my 2nd PC only parts I have atm is an AIO and a 3080ti Im looking to build one for new popular game titles (4k) I need it to be able to render beefy sized blender projects for school is there anyone that can help ? 🙂
budget is up in the air tbh
This was going so well until the proprietary front panel connectors 
Welp time to splice together some connectors
Took a couple boot loops but ITS GOOD
I kinda wish I spent the extra $20 for the dark rock pro 4 just to match the pitch black aesthetic
👀and that sweet screwdriver, the mounting is a nightmare on the dark rock tbh, I switched to a ak620
Right? It’s a dream compared to most
Kinda was like, hmm this can go there
If you have semi large hands, and the mobo is already in the case, good luck mounting the dark rock pro 4 
They didn’t have enough for a sick screwdriver 
Just get a noctua one
I kinda want my 3080 in this build, not a huge fan of the 2080 super
Kekw
I agree
Just looks wise, not talking performance here
Any green text I hate
And it lights up green 
Imo the dark rock is the best looking tower cooler
My old waterblocks had green lit up nvidia text
Yeah I hate that
Just, don't force the logos nvidia
It's garbo
…what’s the chance of a 650w PSU handling a 3080 12gb?
Cpu?
Eh no
Can but no, wouldn't
Damn guess I’ll need to redo cable management then

I have an HX750 that will work but it’s in a different PC
Or maybe I just go the kraken G12 route
Hx750 is perfect
Nah wiring the psu will take as long as the g12 thing
I think we are repeating ourselves lol
It is cringe
But it allows possibilities
Or you could get an eiswolf if they have one
(deja vu deja vu deja vu)
$250 
Guess I can always just disconnect the LEDs
Just do a complete custom Optimus water cooling loop if you’re gunna spend 250+ 
Wait
Actually big brain
What’s the chance of a 3000cl16-16-16 being B-die?
There’s a b die checker?
Can you send the link?
If it's like really old there's a chance
Most of this site is in german, but if you know what Yes and No are then you can easily figure it out. This is what I use to see what is B-die.

Well any chromium based browser should detect that it's German and ask if you wanna translate
My chrome doesn't even with my translator extension
Really?
yep
That's weird I've never had a translator extension
Huh, nvm after I accepted cookies it actually translated.
Although it isn't translating "Ja" right.. It's saying it's "and" when "Ja" is "yes"
It doesn’t have an option for 3000mHz
What brand?
actually what is the model #?
Adata doesn't have nice identification for die afaik
It’s AX4U3000W4G16
yeah not seeing anything adata on the site I linked.
But 3000c16 has extremely slim chances of being b die, and if it is b die, it's terrible b die that wouldn't clock well
AX4U300038G16 is actually b die
Nvm wrong model
What size is the kit
Not yet just wanted to search easier
So it's Needle Spectrix?
Not b die
Or at least not documented on the list
@vague oracle try see what typhoon burner guesses
Typhoon is going to say no
Because typhoon only guesses
And the only reasonable guess for 3000c16 is not b die
Yeah but at least typhoon will tell manufacturer
Not accurately afaik
I need to install them first for typhoon
It's only guessed manufacturer right as far as i seen, just hardly guesses the die right
It’s Hynix die, not sure what it is
Ah well then
I slightly pulled back the heat sink on it and saw the SK Hynix on the die
B die is samsung
Yeah I know
It's probably like mfr lol
It could still clock high possibly
Especially since it sounds like an old kit
Might be decent die
I got it back when the RX480 came out
Good chance it's 4gbit mfr that doesn't do over like 3400
