is 550 used a good price for a 3080?

desert minnow
#

Im going from a evga gtx 1070 8gb to a rog rtx 2080 super is that a good upgrade?

cyan ravine
#

That's a decent upgrade

#

You've checked your power supply is up to scratch yes?

desert minnow
#

Yes my psu can handle it

#

thanks

potent portal
#

That'll be about a 75% increase in fps give or take, assuming the cpu can keep up too

desert minnow
#

it’s a i7 8400 I think

#

8700k*

upper condor
#

Evga ftw3 ultra gaming I believe

potent portal
#

Should be ok, especially if you've overclocked it at all

earnest olive
analog pulsar
#

@earnest olive did you see the pic that tomie pinged you on

earnest olive
#

no

upper condor
#

Just to be sure

earnest olive
#

depends on your use case

#

you can find some 6900xt/6950xt at that price range

#

saw a 6950xt sell for 550 a few days ago

upper condor
#

Just gaming and light video editing

analog pulsar
earnest olive
#

oh

#

yeah i saw that but didn't respond because other people responded already

#

yes, 1 error is a fail

analog pulsar
#

Sad

earnest olive
#

doesn't matter if it's 1 error in 20 minutes or 1 error in 24 hours

#

fail is fail

potent portal
#

Yep memory is the one thing that needs to be totally stable or else you get tons of weird issues

#

A couple errors might be fine for competitive overclocking as long as you can pass the benches but not for daily use

earnest olive
#

not even worth running mem tests for competitive oc

#

just run the bench and see if it finishes or not

analog pulsar
#

I just had xmp on

#

Nothing even demanding

earnest olive
#

what's the xmp profile

analog pulsar
earnest olive
#

interesting

analog pulsar
#

It won't even run G2

earnest olive
#

did it work fine with your old cpu?

analog pulsar
#

I plugged that in and I started to have issues

earnest olive
#

plugged what in

analog pulsar
#

Cpu

earnest olive
#

new cpu? new ram?

#

is the ram known good

analog pulsar
#

It's G.skill

earnest olive
#

that's not what known good means

analog pulsar
#

Oh

earnest olive
#

has the ram been tested to work with a different system

analog pulsar
#

Oh idk

#

I just got it off newegg

#

The ram did run 3500 CL15 on my i3 processor but when I switched out my cpu and put in my i5 then I started to run into issues

#

Then ram started to not work with i3

earnest olive
#

what is your SA set to

analog pulsar
#

I'm not sure

#

Auto

earnest olive
#

try setting it to 1.25

analog pulsar
#

I can try that when I set up my brother's pc but I ordered DDR5 for myself

earnest olive
#

1 error in 20 minutes is more likely to be an unstable oc than defective hardware

analog pulsar
#

I was not home when she ran the test

earnest olive
#

i have a defective ddr4 module

analog pulsar
#

But there was no errors with non xmp

earnest olive
#

it throws 587 errors in 1 second

analog pulsar
#

Omg

earnest olive
#

at 2666 20-19-19-43 1.2V

#

lol

analog pulsar
#

Omg

#

I even tried 3500 G1 on processor and no boot

#

But what I told Felix a while is when I turn xmp and leave bios my cpu and ram stick light up and turn off and on and never boots into windows but if I turn pc off and turn pc on it boots into xmp but seems to habe erroes

grand yew
#

Do you think I could fit a H60I pro xt cooler in a Corsair SPEC-DELTA case

potent portal
#

You really don't want a 120mm AIO, they're worse than cheap tower coolers

grand yew
#

Ok.

#

Can you recommend one cause my base cpu cooler is too loud

potent portal
#

What CPU is it?

grand yew
#

and would work ok

grand yew
potent portal
#

USA?

grand yew
#

Uk

potent portal
#

One sec my VPN is acting up so I can't see what's in stock

grand yew
#

Ok

potent portal
grand yew
#

Yea it is

potent portal
#

That'll do then. 9400 is a pretty low power chip.

grand yew
#

Mhm

potent portal
#

It'll definitely be better than the stock cooler too

grand yew
#

Is the fan swappable?

potent portal
#

Yes

grand yew
#

Ok

potent portal
#

It also comes in white

grand yew
#

My system is black

potent portal
#

Yes

grand yew
potent portal
#

It should come with some but if you want better you can get Arctic MX-4

Looking for a 1 and 2TB M.2 NVME for my X670E Hero 7700x gaming build

#

any suggestions?

nothing over 300 for the 2tb

Anyone here Run a X670E Hero motherboard. I am curious do they include those rubber plates to push up the single sided M.2 Drives?

Any help would be great

Thanks

fossil cedar
#

would highly recommend not buying that motherboard btw

upper ore
#

Okay what are somethings that will happen if there is air in my liquid cooler?

#

Is it really bad for it or is it just the sound?

potent portal
#

Depends on where that air is. Normally just a little gurgling sound, but if it gets into the pump because the radiator got put too low below it then it can damage the pump and air lock it.

upper ore
#

That's how it's setup in my case if you need to know.

potent portal
#

Gurgling is normal. It can be a little unsettling I know.

#

Your setup is pretty ideal all things considered

#

Hey I still get gurgling with that too

upper ore
potent portal
#

Silence

#

That means the pump stopped

#

Think of the gurgling as a reminder it's working lol

upper ore
potent portal
#

Yes and it would probably shut down

upper ore
analog pulsar
#

If pcpartpicker list says 700W estimate for power is 850W okay to use

potent portal
#

You could use 1800W if you wanted it would just be overkill, but don't pay attention to those calculators

desert minnow
#

Is a upgrade from a 1070 to a 1080 a big difference?

Not really considering the other options

What about other stuff like mobo or fans

potent portal
#

You've seen my computer right?

#

Giant fans, decent amount of RGB, high power parts, and it's fine on 850W.

analog pulsar

Oh okay

potent portal

I even have my GPU overclocked, it peaks at 450W

What’s a good price range for a 3070 laptop? I don’t wanna get ripped off

cyan ravine

1000-1200-ish?

#

New ofc

bold prism
#

Oh wow that is like my price range. Any good 3070 laptop that come to mind?

cyan ravine

Last good one I saw was the best buy strix g14 for like, 1100 a little while ago, but not recently

frigid night
cyan ravine
#

That sounds awesome ngl

little osprey
#

I love my g14

#

If i were to choose between those two I would go with the asus one

#

More storage and i personally like 14 inches better than 15

#

But i’m a little biased towards the asus so maybe don’t make your decision based on what i said lol

uneven goblet
#

yo

#

is it better to get 3060 with better cooling or 3060 ti cheap models?

obsidian wigeon
#

3060ti

#

cooling doesn't matter too much on 3060ti

#

and 3060 is much slower

uneven goblet
#

thank you

#

what model do you recommend on 3060ti?

#

or do i take the cheapest one?

mossy venture
#

cheapest one, aside from maybe ventus 2x

#

even that one's viable if the price difference is big enough

uneven goblet
#

o thank you

#

what do you think about asus dual mini

mossy venture
#

it's fine

uneven goblet
#

so all models are fine besides msi ventus 2x

fossil cedar
#

Even then depends on the price diff from the other models like ventus 2x will do okay just be pretty loud

uneven goblet
#

asus dual mini and msi ventus 2x are same pricce

mossy venture
#

asus dual

does anyone know the best ssd under $100 that would fit this

fossil cedar
# dawn iron https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bZsBpH

very little point getting a better SSD and instead id just save a tiny bit more for the 2tb version, its a good ssd and the up to speeds you see on ssds youll only get close to when downloading things or moving items between drivers

dawn iron
#

i would prefer a 2tb ssd and then in the future get hard drives if needed but i was just asking for a recommendation

fossil cedar
#

yeah the 2tb team mp33 is 110

dawn iron
#

#

i added that to cart

upper ore
#

Holy crap why is Elden ring so easy to run on max settings? My temps for everything are extremely low. Never would have guessed

potent portal
#

Isn't it 60 fps locked?

#

That would be part of why then

#

DLSS on? That would be the other part

upper ore
#

I had no idea it was locked at 60

potent portal
#

A lot of console games will be locked like that for consistency, and souls-like games would do it to avoid stutters

upper ore
potent portal
#

Oh wait I don't know if it's in that game

upper ore
potent portal
#

Sometimes you can uncap the fps, let me see if there's an easy way

upper ore
potent portal
#

Depends on what you're testing and at what resolution

upper ore
potent portal
#

CPU testing is a bit tricky, you can try esports games but it's hard to get consistent results

upper ore
potent portal
#

Badly optimized

upper ore
#

Like ik its a resource hog but damn

That's just bad programming, it hates me too

Wait so Vin Diesel wasn't just in the trailer, he's a producer? wtf

languid nimbus

Oh Jesus

So now that i can play it at higher settings it crashes like crazy

languid nimbus
#

Game is gonna be….interesting

potent portal
upper ore
potent portal
#

Sometimes that helps

#

How much ram do you have?

upper ore
#

Like hell even one of the buggiest games like cyberpunk i can run on the highest setting with no bugs or crashing

upper ore
potent portal
#

good

#

I've gotten less crashes after I upgraded to 32

upper ore
#

Hell i think cyberpunk is one of my most stable games rn lol

upper ore
potent portal
#

Some poorly optimized games will reserve far more memory than they really need, I had some trying to reserve 20gb in addition to my system using 4gb

#

Even though they only used 8gb physical memory

potent portal
#

Windows and the game do a handshake on that

#

Nothing you can do but make sure there's enough virtual memory space, which you do

upper ore
#

Well damn

#

Alright

little osprey
#

yeah it says his name on the ark main menu too

uneven goblet
#

yo

#

can someone explain

#

whats diffrence betwen b550 and x570?

strong raft
#

Mainly more pcie lanes.

uneven goblet
potent portal
#

X570 has a couple extra features that few people need like hardware RAID

#

B550 has 4.0

leaden mauve
#

Hardware RAID copium

potent portal
#

Yeah no one in their right mind outside of servers would use that

little osprey
#

Omfg...

leaden mauve
#

Servers don't really use that anymore

uneven goblet
#

wtf is raid?

little osprey
#

I used some intel RAID controller for raid and that was probably the biggest mistake of my pc career

leaden mauve
#

And hw raid on consumers boards is usually pretty bad anyway

leaden mauve
#

But I still use HW raid LOL

potent portal
strong raft
#

Redundant array of* individual drives, basically

potent portal
#

You can easily do it with software too

uneven goblet
uneven goblet
leaden mauve
uneven goblet
#

so only diffrence is raid controler and thats it?

#

and more pcie 4 lanes?

#

???

potent portal
strong raft
#

Also has a fan on the chipset usually. kek

potent portal
uneven goblet
#

what S stands for?

strong raft
#

Dang you I was gonna edit to mention that, haha. S means silent... (fan on mobo feels like 15+ yrs ago stuff)

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

As in lower power chipset so it's cooler and doesn't need a fan

#

5W instead of 15W

uneven goblet
#

ah nice

#

basically its better to get b550 for regular users?

potent portal
#

100%

uneven goblet
#

ty

potent portal
#

Funny thing is B550 tends to be better for overclocking too

uneven goblet
#

but what abour future

#

do i need to switch motherboard or?

#

like 5 years later

potent portal
#

AM4 is a dead platform, that's the last generation of boards with that socket

uneven goblet
#

ty

potent portal
#

AM5 (B650, X670) will be supported for about 4+ years from now

#

But it's also more expensive to buy into

uneven goblet
#

uff

#
  • ddr 5
potent portal
#

Yep that's part of the more expensive part

strong raft
#

Another option is Intel. could do 13600k w/ your ddr4, or temporarily save a lot w/ 12600k or even 12400(F)

uneven goblet
#

do you have any b550 models reccomendations

stoic island
#

For what CPU?

#

And do you need wifi?

fossil cedar
uneven goblet
stoic island
#

Board prices are pretty bad rn, it's probably worthwhile checking microcenter if there's any near you

stoic island
#

Although a smaller drive

strong raft
# fossil cedar If waiting a week or so, 13400 should come out at CES

Not hard to skip the used 12700k I see lately, & 12600k is kinda bad price too. On the 12400T & b660 I made about $20 overall so that's cool. ---ok , itching to see CES*. 13400 locked SA I suppose? Wonder if gear 1 is any better than it's predecessor. Plus is it rpl or adl. It fighting 12600k will be interesting (in gaming)

bold prism
uneven goblet
#

I don't think so, but I think you will lose the warranty for laptop?

#

idk

stoic island
#

Typically it's easy to access, unscrew the back, sometimes unscrew a heatsink or a plate, and you can access it

#

It's typically discouraged to take off the back but they can't revoke your warranty for taking the back off

stoic island
# uneven goblet nop

The board prices are making grabbing 12th or 13th gen chips more appealing, but B550-a pro will do. If you need wifi, just grab some generic ax200 pcie card

uneven goblet
#

maybe bluetooth

#

idk

stoic island
uneven goblet
#

ok cool thanks

desert gulch
stoic island
#

USB tethering is neat

desert gulch
#

Not a bad option if you don't plan to need it often

stoic island
#

But Ethernet is nicer

desert gulch
#

Oh yeah but when my parents set up parental controls on wifi for my PC I just would plug my phone in and tether wifi

stoic island
#

Lol

#

I used USB tethering to bypass school wifi restrictions

They still haven't realized to this day how I was in discord calls and stuff when it was shut off

@potent portal Well i found a good game to check temps on your cpu. Just play BDO on max setting on a wizard and just spam your abilities lmao. Gpu barely went up in temp

fossil cedar
#

I'm not bothered explaining so this is ripped right from the site i linked earlier
Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) is a small amount of memory on a computer motherboard that stores the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) settings. The BIOS is the software stored on the memory chip on the motherboard. It instructs the computer on how to perform a number of basic functions such as booting and keyboard control. The BIOS is also used to identify and configure hardware in the computer.

For no boot or no display issues, clearing CMOS may help recover the boards because that restores the BIOS default settings

Hi guys! A few days i ask here for the RipjawsV Memory Rams, any another suggest before i buy those ones? I see the OLOY Black Owl and looks pretty nice. Suggestions are appreciated. (I'm looking for DDR4 32Gb 3600 CL16 at least)

toxic nacelle
#

Another question before making a mistake lmao, i has a mid tier PC ryzen 5600 and a 6650xt for 1080p, is recommended to go for the 3600 rams or 3200 is fine?

obsidian wigeon
#

you don't have to have cl16

#

just 3600c18 is decent

#

cheapest rgb so far

cyan ravine
#

Yeah CL won't really matter as the rest of the timings are auto'd. The frequency matters as the fabric clock will sync to it

(to a point but in this case it will)

#

Thank you guys and i should go for 3600? And the Ripjaws V vs OLOy Blade wich one you pick?

Both do binning

Both heatsinks are good

It can mean many things, but if it's cooling pad, eh

It depends on the laptop

bosnia

#

you cant find it in pc part picker

#

i would love wifi if its not big price diffrence

fossil cedar
#

Ah okay well sort b550 boards low to high and send a few with their prices, most even low end boards are fine for a 5600

uneven goblet
#

this is lowest one

uneven goblet
fossil cedar
#

If the price diff between s2h and gaming x isn't much I'd get the gaming x but if it's significant enough s2h will do fine

uneven goblet
#

thanks

yo any cpu cooler recommedations?

#

5 5600

#

AIO is overkill for 5 5600 unleas i oc

#

i think?

uneven goblet
#

does anybody heard about inter-tech?

#

company that makes fans?

mossy venture
#

Never heard of them

uneven goblet
#

ok thanks

mossy venture
#

I'd suggest arctic p12s for fans

fossil cedar
uneven goblet
#

they say its fine bout they reccomend tower cooling

#

if im not wrong

#

?

fossil cedar
#

Or if you want more cool, it will depend for you but gammaxx 400/gt varients, id cooling se 214xt/224xt, thermalright assassin series

#

It'll definitely be cooler and quieter but a stock cooler can do, you can always use stock then see if it's okay for you

#

And always upgrade later

uneven goblet
fossil cedar
#

Deepcool have other options too

#

Just the cheapest 120mm fan tower cooler you can find tbh

uneven goblet
#

how much should fans tower cost?

fossil cedar
#

Like 20-30$

uneven goblet
#

BE QUIET! Pure Rock Slim 2

#

is this good

#

for around 32$

#

or

#

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 X CO

#

31$

fossil cedar
#

That be quiet one doesn't look like a 120mm

hello everyone! i am in need of a little assistance for what mobo i should pair with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, i currently have an I7 10700k along with the ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING mobo, 64gb 3200mhz ram and a 6900XT, a recommended aio would be nice too

fossil cedar
feral citrus
mossy venture
#

Brand is irrelevant, performance is what matters

#

Cpu and gpu of same brand also doesn't affect performance

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
feral citrus
#

what about the whole amd memory thing? that the newer cards and scpus use to give like 5% boost in some games

#

the smart access memory or whatever?

#

also im not too worried about the prices

mossy venture
#

Sam is basically useless in most scenarios

feral citrus
#

ah didnt know too much about it

#

and an i 9 13900k? or

mossy venture
#

In gaming, 13700k has near identical performance

#

Like, within 2% if not less

feral citrus
#

gotcha, and would you recommend an upgrade to the motherboard?

mossy venture
#

You'd have to

#

Different socket

feral citrus
#

ah makes sense

#

would i need to upgrade my ram then too?

mossy venture
#

Eh, you could if you want to but if it's 3200c16 that's fine

feral citrus
#

aight cool

fossil cedar
#

nah id reuse your ram

#

what country you in?

feral citrus
#

us

cyan ravine
#

If you're just gaming I would consider 13600k or 13500 tbh

#

98% of the 13900K gaming experience for a fraction of the money

feral citrus
#

im fine shelling out a few more bucks just want my pc to run the bestest

fossil cedar
#

whats your current cooler and case btw?

cyan ravine
#

And psu

fossil cedar
#

difference between 13700k and 13600k is quite small tbf

feral citrus
#

and cooler is a box fan tbh, have like 2 fans in the case but nothing else

cyan ravine
#

Sounding like a whole new pc rn

feral citrus
#

XD

#

would the case not work?

fossil cedar
#

it has no front airflow at all

#

youre gonna get wayyyyy better temps with a new case

cyan ravine
#

Prolly, 13600K, z690 asrock/N5, arctic 280 b stock, same rams (32gb I hope), silicon power a60 2tb, fractal focus 2, evga b stock gt 850w, 6900XT OCF+

feral citrus
#

i simply have the side panel off

#

all the airflow

fossil cedar
#

while we are at it whats your psu?

feral citrus
#

1000watt one sec for the name

cyan ravine
#

Whoaaaaa

#

would you recommend the new case, i run my pc 24/7 without the glass panel on

cyan ravine
#

Also remember the asrock z690's all have bios fladh

fossil cedar
#

well with a new case you can leave the side panel on

Step right up to the clinical world of wegg technologies™️

fossil cedar
feral citrus
#

jkjk but in the 2 builds you did ik you are really trying to help me save a buck or 2 but could you do one with a i9?

fossil cedar
#

honestly the i9 will perform just like the 13700k

#

in games

cyan ravine
#

dǝǝq dǝǝq 66ᄅx dooq dǝǝq

feral citrus
#

but you see

#

i want the i9

fossil cedar
#

it only has an extra 4 e cores

#

but theres no reason too just a waste of money

cyan ravine
#

I9 just gives e cores

#

Colt lemme be real here

#

The fastest intel chip

#

Is hyperthreading off

#

8p cores only

#

E cores get in the way of gaming

fossil cedar
cyan ravine
#

E cores are productivity cores

#

They do nothing for games at all

fossil cedar
#

or useful for running things like discord chrome

feral citrus
#

but i do be productively playing my games

cyan ravine
feral citrus
#

alright alright

#

youve convinced

cyan ravine
feral citrus
#

me

#

ill settle for the i7 13

cyan ravine
#

Epic

feral citrus
#

also by chance this would ruin everything i plan on running 2 4k monitors would that have to be taken into consideration

cyan ravine
#

Not really

#

Only for gpu

#

With 13700K you aren't bottlenecked at 4K so it's fine

feral citrus
#

and 6900xt should be plenty for that

cyan ravine
#

Ye

#

6900XT or better really

fossil cedar
#

gpu takes care of display out and the higher resolution the more gpu bound you are

#

although if the 2nd monitor isnst for gaming you might be better off getting the 13700k and not the kf to run the secondary

mossy venture
#

4k with a 4090 you'd be fine with a 12600k

#

In a lot of scenarios a 12400f

#

Imo

cyan ravine
#

Eh not really

feral citrus
#

the 6900xt is a staple part of my build

#

not changing my mind there

cyan ravine
#

In most cases but definitely not all

#

Ah you have 6900XT?

mossy venture
#

69800xt?

cyan ravine
#

Then good, stick with it

mossy venture
#

What?

feral citrus
#

typo

mossy venture
#

Thats..not a gpu

#

Ah

#

What gpu?

feral citrus
#

6900xt

mossy venture
#

Nice

cyan ravine
#

You'll have a good build

#

So you have 16gb or 32gb ram?

feral citrus
#

64

cyan ravine
#

Ah

#

Definitely use that

#

Lol

#

Jeez

fossil cedar
#

i would deff grab the 13700k non kf assuming youre not dual monitor gaming

cyan ravine
#

Ur gonna have a nice cad build ngl

#

Workstation stonks

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
#

the igpu would take load off the 6900xt

feral citrus
#

igpu?

cyan ravine
#

The K's have built in little gpus

#

KF's don't

#

So you can use them for extra monitors

#

as long as the mobo has an igpu rail

#

(this one does)

feral citrus
#

so the Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor in place of the Intel Core i7-13700KF 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor

Hey I need some help with a motherboard I just got, where could I go for that?

would i then be fine to salvage the couple fans that are in the case for the new case or would i not need tham

carmine epoch
#

@leaden mauve Thx

cyan ravine
carmine epoch
#

I bought a gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite motherboard and a thunderbolt add on card, the motherboard has a tb add on connector but all I have is x16 slots on the board, how do I use the add on card?

fossil cedar
cyan ravine
#

It needs pcie lanes to work so you want it leveraging the cpu lanes from the 2nd slot, first slot for gpu

#

If it don't fit tho with the gpu then you could try the last slot but I doubt it'll run well

carmine epoch
#

@cyan ravine ok I’ll give it shot when I get my pc back, it’s in the shop rn

cyan ravine
#

The thing with thunderbolt is it needs 4 pcie lanes to run properly, the last slot is usually x1 pcie lane from the chipset

#

Some boards allow x4 tho, lemme check

carmine epoch
#

@cyan ravine Thank you for the help

cyan ravine
#

@carmine epoch 2x 16 slots yeah?

carmine epoch
#

Yeah

cyan ravine
#

Yeah second slot only then

#

Weird a 570 that only has two slots tho lol

carmine epoch
#

It has 3 sorry, I’m thinking about another I was looking at

cyan ravine
#

Ah so not aorus elite then

#

Prolly aorus master

#

Looks like this?

carmine epoch

GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0) AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 AMD X570S ATX Motherboard

this is my GPU temp sitting on my desktop with a wallpaper engine animated wallpaper

#

this is it running with a stress test at 1440p

#

good or bad?

#

its overclocked +190 MHz core and +210 MHz memory btw

stoic island
#

normal

little osprey
#

ok good

#

i repasted and repadded my GPU and it was running hot at first then I put more paste on and it has those temps now

#

so

#

it got to like

little osprey
#

93

little osprey
cyan ravine
#

93 core is way too hot for a 3060

#

What 3060 is this

harsh hull
cyan ravine
#

Want me to make a list?

little osprey
cyan ravine
#

Mobo cooler gpu psu quite a bit could be put into better performance

little osprey
#

you also need to get like a gram-3.5 grams of thermal paste

harsh hull
cyan ravine
#

Replacements?

#

Have you bought anything?

harsh hull
cyan ravine
#

Ok good

harsh hull
#

I got most of the money for my birthday and christmas so im not just gonna spend it like that

#

gotta do a lot of reseach

#

and im in multiple servers askign for advice

cyan ravine
#

@harsh hull can you stretch to 1950?

#

If not it's ok, but I'll have quite a bit of budget left

harsh hull
cyan ravine
#

Ok awesome

#

Pick your poison

#

1st one is 1950, the second is decently slower in games at 1820-ish

#

But both will decimate the 3060 build

#

In basically everything lol

#

I can trim both lists btw to make them a little cheaper if you aren't bothered by mismatched colours

#

@harsh hull

harsh hull
#

Tyty

#

ill take a look at them

edgy hazel
#

can anyone help me get a bios update? at least i think thats what i need?

harsh hull
#

@cyan ravine is there anything that can be downgraded a bit on the 1840 one? Because with taxes on the sites it’s just slightly out of my price range, I think 1700 is a better goal for me because of taxes

cyan ravine
#

Ok

#

All I did was change cpu really, 1736

#

We can trim it more

#

1692

#

(I would really go with a z690 tho so this is realllyyyy if it can't fit at all)

harsh hull
#

Thank you so much!

cyan ravine
#

Np

#

It's a solid 1440p build

#

Will play whatever you want really

#

Good for some video/graphics work or light CAD too

harsh hull
#

I don’t plan to overclock it or anything

#

But one thing

cyan ravine
#

Go for it

harsh hull
#

All the parts should fit in the case as is correct?

cyan ravine
#

Ye

#

Should work just fine

harsh hull
#

Awesome

#

I have windows on a USB so I won’t need to buy that luckily

cyan ravine
#

Nice

#

Sign in to your current pc via settings

#

Then you can transfer the license

#

To the new pc when you've installed

#

By signing in there

bleak sedge
#

can someone look over my parts list to help me figure out if its overkill?

potent portal
#

Sure. If it's a pcpartpicker list that should be a whitelisted link for you to post.

bleak sedge
#

ive been trying to work with my dad on figuring out a set up but hes not into the gaming side of pc’s and he says its too much

strong raft
#

4dimms of ddr5 pepehide

cyan ravine
#

Wayyy wayy overkill in all the wrong ways

#

For 3K you can do a 4090 build

potent portal
#

Even with inflated prices yeah

cyan ravine
#

And yes, 4 dimms of ddr5 is generally a no no

bleak sedge
#

really?

cyan ravine
#

But on am5 it's fine afaik

#

Still wouldn't do it

potent portal
#

The motherboards struggle hard to do 4 dimms any faster than jedec

cyan ravine
#

You don't need 64gb for games

bleak sedge
#

i meant to do 32gbs

cyan ravine
#

8gb sticks of ddr5 I would avoid too

#

2x16

#

It's the proper way to embrace it but even then, am5 is a waste

#

So your budget is 3K?

bleak sedge
#

budget peak is 3500 but 3k would be better

plucky timber
#

wait

#

is it for your dad?

cyan ravine
#

Ok brb I'll make something

bleak sedge
#

no its for me

plucky timber
#

oh

potent portal
#

Zen 4 3D should be out next month

bleak sedge
#

ive been talking to him about it since he’s in IT

harsh hull
flint sapphire
#

I trust Felix’s judgement and experience, as a partial brain myself I can say with certainty it’s a good build for the cost

plucky timber
#

i can't build a list with these specs for $1700

#

that's for sure

potent portal
#

I would have done faster memory but it looks good overall

#

Won't make too much difference

harsh hull
#

It’s 1700 Canadian btw-

#

So that’s like

#

1300 American or smth

cyan ravine
#

Wouldn't do i9 with that board

potent portal
#

Wouldn't do i9 with that board.

cyan ravine
#

That too

#

But this build is extreme overkill

#

In like, everything

#

4k gaming is expected

potent portal
#

4k240 ready

cyan ravine
#

Less than 4k and you wouldn't be using the system to it's actual potential

#

So remember that

#

If you were gunning for 1440p we could cut the price of this build in half

flint sapphire
#

Could do a 1440 ultrawide like a Alienware qdoled or something pepehmmm

cyan ravine
#

Nah, still bottlenecked

potent portal
#

Yep swap to a 6950 XT and that's half the cost of the build down right there kekw

cyan ravine
#

And even then 6950xt can still do 4k

#

No slouch either

flint sapphire
#

Take the build cost down buy the $1000 monitor 👀

bleak sedge
#

thanks for the help felix 🙂

cyan ravine
#

Np

#

This is a much better build

#

Sweeps the 4080 build easily

#

Both in cpu and gpu performance

potent portal
#

By a significant margin yeah

bleak sedge
#

i was hesitant to go higher with both the cpu and gpu i just went off of what i do know

#

and i think i had a higher cpu but my dad told me to go lower

plucky timber
#

just out of curiosity

#

what are the best value hdds

cyan ravine
#

Isn't it usually like the toshiba n300/x300?

#

For big storage

cyan ravine
#

Little storage would be like, wd blue or seagate barracuda iirc

bleak sedge
#

i have one more question

cyan ravine
#

I am ready

bleak sedge
#

instead of the 16 core i7 you originally added, would it be detrimental to instead put in the i5-12600k 3.7GHz 10 core?

cyan ravine
#

Uh

#

For 4090 yes

#

You'll be bottlenecked

bleak sedge
#

right

cyan ravine
#

Minimum is like, 12900K/13600K+

flint sapphire
#

I mean honestly you’ll still be bottlenecked with the i7

cyan ravine
#

12700K? Meh you could

#

But I wouldn't

#

You could do 13600K tho

#

If you wanted to

flint sapphire
#

Eh

potent portal
cyan ravine
#

It's the clock and cache that matters more than the core count

flint sapphire
#

It’s a great BUDGET cpu but when the budget is 3k pepehmmm

flint sapphire
#

Idk man I can’t justify not spending

cyan ravine
#

Fair

#

It's kneecapping in a sense

bleak sedge
#

i am considering lowering it or using some of the stuff from my original parts list but i was unsure

#

i had 3 sets with two being very similar

cyan ravine
#

Avoid most of the stuff from the list you posted

#

Case is terrible value, am5 is too

#

Corsair vengeance ddr5 just straight isn't worth it

#

And the LC cooler is terrible for lga1700

bleak sedge
#

the case was just from what ive seen recently and for appearance

cyan ravine
#

Let alone it just generally being worse than the deepcool one

#

You want a case like an N7 then I would look at N7 alternatives first

#

Even the nzxt fans don't like the price

#

Half the reason for the price is they ship them with those terrible value aer fans

bleak sedge
#

yeah i was just going off of brands i knew since im somewhat new to pc specs but i know how to build

potent portal
#

You'll want one of the top large airflow focused cases for a 4090

flint sapphire
#

Could just do a Corsair 4000d case to update the looks

potent portal
#

Something like the fractal torrent

cyan ravine
#

4000d doesn't actually fit

potent portal
cyan ravine
#

Fractal torrent would be good

flint sapphire
