Good morning all
I need a little help?
I'm trying to change the Secure Boot State to ON on a Gaming PC I just built for my son and Im not seeing how to do it?
Motherboard
ASRock Z690 Pro RS ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
ASRock Z690 Pro RS ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
yes
He is trying to play Valorant, it come up asking to check that in MSINFO32 and in there it says off
ok
there
ok
uh that thing sucks, I had to like restart my laptop 50 times because secure boot wouldn't work even tho it said it was enabled
Hi guys im new here and i need some help with a compatibility item
I has a MOBO AsRock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 and a CPU Ryzen 5 5600 and i need to know if this Rams is compatible i will not have problems
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
Ok, thank you very much man
Happy New Year to everyone ❤️
I'll say it in 13 hrs. 
Good morning
Good morning
good morning
Guten morgen
Morning good
Good morning
is 550 used a good price for a 3080?
if you have to pay tax on that (eg. ebay), it's a bit on the high end
if you don't have to pay tax on that (eg. hws, fb marketplace), it's fair/average
Im going from a evga gtx 1070 8gb to a rog rtx 2080 super is that a good upgrade?
That'll be about a 75% increase in fps give or take, assuming the cpu can keep up too
It’s on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist I believe
Evga ftw3 ultra gaming I believe
Should be ok, especially if you've overclocked it at all
as long as it's 550 final price it's fair
@earnest olive did you see the pic that tomie pinged you on
no
At 500-600 3080 is best choice right
Just to be sure
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
Just gaming and light video editing
Single error = bad??
oh
yeah i saw that but didn't respond because other people responded already
yes, 1 error is a fail
Sad
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
not even worth running mem tests for competitive oc
just run the bench and see if it finishes or not
what's the xmp profile
3600 CL16 everything auto
interesting
It won't even run G2
did it work fine with your old cpu?
I plugged that in and I started to have issues
plugged what in
Cpu
It's G.skill
that's not what known good means
Oh
has the ram been tested to work with a different system
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
what is your SA set to
try setting it to 1.25
I can try that when I set up my brother's pc but I ordered DDR5 for myself
1 error in 20 minutes is more likely to be an unstable oc than defective hardware
Well it was 1 in 19 mins then 2 in 20 mis tomie said
I was not home when she ran the test
i have a defective ddr4 module
But there was no errors with non xmp
it throws 587 errors in 1 second
Omg
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
Do you think I could fit a H60I pro xt cooler in a Corsair SPEC-DELTA case
You really don't want a 120mm AIO, they're worse than cheap tower coolers
What CPU is it?
and would work ok
I5 9400F
USA?
Uk
One sec my VPN is acting up so I can't see what's in stock
Ok
In the meantime see if this is in stock https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazonuk/Zr8bt6
Yea it is
That'll do then. 9400 is a pretty low power chip.
Mhm
It'll definitely be better than the stock cooler too
Is the fan swappable?
Yes
Ok
It also comes in white
My system is black
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-fan-LL140-single-pack/dp/B075VHBC4S?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 would this be compatible?
Yes
What thermal paste could you recommend to go with this?
It should come with some but if you want better you can get Arctic MX-4
Is asus prime b450m compatible with deep cool matrex 40
Looking for a 1 and 2TB M.2 NVME for my X670E Hero 7700x gaming build
any suggestions?
budget and country
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DyhFf7/western-digital-black-sn850x-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds100t2x0e
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/C3xbt6/team-mp33-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fp6002t0c101
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
would highly recommend not buying that motherboard btw
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?
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.
It started happening after i was adjusting the setting in my fan controller. I had to crank it up high because my cpu temps were getting pretty high in some of my games. It just sounds like a little gurgling occasionally
That's how it's setup in my case if you need to know.
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
What will it sound like if the worst happens?
Silence
That means the pump stopped
Think of the gurgling as a reminder it's working lol
Wouldnt the temps sky rocket aswell?
Yes and it would probably shut down
Well ill just watch the temps then lol
If pcpartpicker list says 700W estimate for power is 850W okay to use
You could use 1800W if you wanted it would just be overkill, but don't pay attention to those calculators
Is a upgrade from a 1070 to a 1080 a big difference?
Not really considering the other options
Thx
God I hate looking into desks
Any good 3060 laptop under 1k?
Welp 💀 I was just asking bc someone said i5 and 4080 needs 1000W
My info is dated but
Gigabyte A5/G5 K1?
Asus Tuf Gaming dash F15
Msi GF65 Thin 10ue/11ue
Legion 5/5i pro
(legion a bit meh tho)
Dad joke level reply of the day goes to Felix. 
Don't listen to that person then. 40 series doesn't spike as high as 30 series, and the 4080 uses less power than the 3090. The 3090 was fine on a good 850W so logically the 4080 would be more than happy.
Yea
What about other stuff like mobo or fans
You've seen my computer right?
Giant fans, decent amount of RGB, high power parts, and it's fine on 850W.
Oh okay
I even have my GPU overclocked, it peaks at 450W
Meanwhile my 3080ti and 5800x3d is sipping on 750watts
10850K and 3090 fine on 850
What’s a good price range for a 3070 laptop? I don’t wanna get ripped off
Oh wow that is like my price range. Any good 3070 laptop that come to mind?
Last good one I saw was the best buy strix g14 for like, 1100 a little while ago, but not recently
You just gave me an idea to attach motion leds inside my desk drawers.
Can someone help me pick the better laptop? I don’t know much about specs and stuff so. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-14-wqxga-120hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-16gb-ddr5-memory-amd-radeon-rx-6700s-1tb-pcie-4-0-ssd/6494638.p?skuId=6494638 vs https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-aorus-15-6-ips-gaming-laptop-intel-i7-12700h-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-512gb-ssd/6499110.p?skuId=6499110
Both around the same price
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
Ayo 😳
cheapest one, aside from maybe ventus 2x
even that one's viable if the price difference is big enough
it's fine
so all models are fine besides msi ventus 2x
Even then depends on the price diff from the other models like ventus 2x will do okay just be pretty loud
asus dual mini and msi ventus 2x are same pricce
asus dual
Sony a80j or lg c2 for a Playstation 5? Help
C2, just make sure you've got it set to auto dim after 5 minutes or less in the PlayStation settings
Burn in isn't as much of a problem as it used to be but it's still there
Fr despicable
does anyone know the best ssd under $100 that would fit this
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6750 XT, Fractal Design Focus 2 RGB ATX Mid Tower
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
i would prefer a 2tb ssd and then in the future get hard drives if needed but i was just asking for a recommendation
yeah the 2tb team mp33 is 110
Holy crap why is Elden ring so easy to run on max settings? My temps for everything are extremely low. Never would have guessed
Isn't it 60 fps locked?
That would be part of why then
DLSS on? That would be the other part
I had no idea it was locked at 60
A lot of console games will be locked like that for consistency, and souls-like games would do it to avoid stutters
I cant even find the option for DLSS
Oh wait I don't know if it's in that game
Damn i was hoping i could run some tests with my new pc since it is a good looking game.
Sometimes you can uncap the fps, let me see if there's an easy way
Yep easy way https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/216
What are some good test games besides Cyberpunk?
Depends on what you're testing and at what resolution
Cpu performance and the temps
CPU testing is a bit tricky, you can try esports games but it's hard to get consistent results
Why does ark always push everything to its max? lol
Badly optimized
Like ik its a resource hog but damn
Clearly lol
Is that why i keep crashing non stop when i try playing?
That's just bad programming, it hates me too
They won't though, they'll just launch Ark 2
Isn’t ark 2 gonna be in unreal engine 5?
yes
family
It just sucks that it just started happening after i built this new pc
Wait so Vin Diesel wasn't just in the trailer, he's a producer? wtf
So now that i can play it at higher settings it crashes like crazy
Game is gonna be….interesting
Welcome to high end gaming, where consoles dare not tread and game devs don't give a flip
Do i just drop back down if i want to play?
Like hell even one of the buggiest games like cyberpunk i can run on the highest setting with no bugs or crashing
32
Hell i think cyberpunk is one of my most stable games rn lol
Oh i crash now more then when i played on my old pc at lower settings lol
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
How do you reserve ram for ark?
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
yeah it says his name on the ark main menu too
Mainly more pcie lanes.
pcie 4 lanes?
X570 has a couple extra features that few people need like hardware RAID
B550 has 4.0
Hardware RAID 
Yeah no one in their right mind outside of servers would use that
Omfg...
Servers don't really use that anymore
wtf is raid?
I used some intel RAID controller for raid and that was probably the biggest mistake of my pc career
And hw raid on consumers boards is usually pretty bad anyway
But I still use HW raid LOL
Makes multiple drives show up as one
Redundant array of* individual drives, basically
You can easily do it with software too
do i need that or is it waste of money
bru
Depends on use-case. But almost always no for normal users
Also has a fan on the chipset usually. 
thanks
Unless it's X570S but those are expensive AF
what S stands for?
Dang you I was gonna edit to mention that, haha. S means silent... (fan on mobo feels like 15+ yrs ago stuff)
ty
Silent?
100%
ty
Funny thing is B550 tends to be better for overclocking too
AM4 is a dead platform, that's the last generation of boards with that socket
ty
AM5 (B650, X670) will be supported for about 4+ years from now
But it's also more expensive to buy into
Yep that's part of the more expensive part
Another option is Intel. could do 13600k w/ your ddr4, or temporarily save a lot w/ 12600k or even 12400(F)
do you have any b550 models reccomendations
If waiting a week or so, 13400 should come out at CES
5 5600 or 5 5600x ,
i would like to have wifi if its not big price diffrence
Could you guys take a look and give me an opinion on this. I don’t know much about specs and stuff so. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-14-wqxga-120hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-16gb-ddr5-memory-amd-radeon-rx-6700s-1tb-pcie-4-0-ssd/6494638.p?skuId=6494638 vs https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-aorus-15-6-ips-gaming-laptop-intel-i7-12700h-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-512gb-ssd/6499110.p?skuId=6499110
Board prices are pretty bad rn, it's probably worthwhile checking microcenter if there's any near you
Spec wise, second should be just better
Although a smaller drive
Not hard to skip the used 12700k I see lately, & 12600k is kinda bad price too. On the 12400T & b660 I made about $20 overall so that's cool. ---ok , itching to see CES*. 13400 locked SA I suppose? Wonder if gear 1 is any better than it's predecessor. Plus is it rpl or adl. It fighting 12600k will be interesting (in gaming)
nop
no microcentar near me
Is it hard to change the ssd on a laptop?
Typically it's easy to access, unscrew the back, sometimes unscrew a heatsink or a plate, and you can access it
It's typically discouraged to take off the back but they can't revoke your warranty for taking the back off
The board prices are making grabbing 12th or 13th gen chips more appealing, but B550-a pro will do. If you need wifi, just grab some generic ax200 pcie card
i dont need wifi but i would love to have it
maybe bluetooth
idk
Just grab a pcie wifi card for 20$ whenever you need it
ok cool thanks
If you have a phone, you may be able to wifi tether to it in an emergency
USB tethering is neat
Not a bad option if you don't plan to need it often
But Ethernet is nicer
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
They still haven't realized to this day how I was in discord calls and stuff when it was shut off
Ye
@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
Bdo on max settings in general is a drain on resources
I can see that lmao
cpu is hot
Trust me ik lol thats after i did a full combo on my wizard with max settings
would anyone be willing to tell me if my build is good and compatible for a first time build
Still getting amazing fps tho lol
God this pc is a beast! Im so happy that you helped me find some of the parts @potent portal. Going from my old pc and struggling to get anything over 65fps on bdo on med to low settings. Now im able to run max settings (in combat) at between 80-90fps is freaking insane to me! So thanks man!
Glad it's working out for you
But let me tell you that Ryzen 7 5800x3D gets hella toasty! Lmao The Galahad struggles sometimes tho but i think i got the right settings for it to keep it decent
o cool thanks
Try setting a negative voltage offset in bios for the cpu, it helps a ton. They always pre-program more than you need into the voltage table.

ok
Yo @potent portal can u help me with cpu trouble shooting
or somwone for that matter
i'm upgrading CPu's and this one wont load stuff onto my screen
like it wont boot up idk
From what to what
i went from a 3400g ryzen 5 to a 3500 ryzen 5
i have a gpu now so i got rid of the g series
TBH i liked the begining
Did you connect your monitor to the gpu and not the motherboard?
i updated bios
Do fans come on?
What motherboard is it btw?
its amd
Stealing my link I see. We need a !cmos command.
You may have updated the bios too far if it's a 300 series board
It still applies
I was just thinking that
its a 570x
X570?
Updating bios shouldn't be a problem with incompatibility then
Nah
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
so i cleared cmos and it still wornt work. i will take it to a computer repair shop tmrw
Anyone know how to fix "were not migrated from previous OS installation due to partial or ambiguous device match"
No. i just bought a WD Black today
I've updated the firmware but still not showing
I can tell that the computer can find it but it seems it's not formated correctly and I don't know how to do that since it's not showing up in Disk Management
Could you open command prompt as administrator and type in:
sfc /scannow
And hit enter
Sure, give me a sec
Yep. I checked for updates and updated it's specific Firmware
It's showing up in my device manager. So it's being read at least. It won't show up in file manager or Disk Management
You mean for the SSD? No I used the software for Western Digital
I did then using the "Windows Update"
Sorry, still new to which is which
Nope, just says it's up to date
friend sent me this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rYHGgb
can someone help fix it?

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)
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?
you don't have to have cl16
just 3600c18 is decent
cheapest rgb so far
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?
Im updating a no rgb PC
Either are fine
Both do binning
Both heatsinks are good
Whichever is cheaper really
Thank you bro, appreciated 🙏
Is a fan thing necessary for laptops?
What thing?
It can mean many things, but if it's cooling pad, eh
It depends on the laptop
Most of the times having the laptop lifted up with some feet or stand helps the cooling
When I had laptop having it lifted up by a holder was much better then the default feet on the laptop
I am happy gaming on a 1050ti
About the same perf as my 6800H give or take
So really not bad lol
For a lower resolution screen like 960p or whatever 1050 ti is perfectly fine
is this good motherboard for 5 5600
?
It'll be fine although usually there's cheaper options
i think this is a good option
but what about b550 aorus elite
What country are you in and are there any features you need? Because they're both perfectly capable but depends on pricing
bosnia
you cant find it in pc part picker
i would love wifi if its not big price diffrence
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
this is lowest one
then this
then this comes last
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
thanks
yo any cpu cooler recommedations?
5 5600
doesn't need to have rgb but i would love to
214xt
thanks
does anybody heard about inter-tech?
company that makes fans?
Never heard of them
ok thanks
I'd suggest arctic p12s for fans
Stock
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
i think i will be to lazy to upgrade later lmao
thanks
Deepcool have other options too
Just the cheapest 120mm fan tower cooler you can find tbh
how much should fans tower cost?
Like 20-30$
BE QUIET! Pure Rock Slim 2
is this good
for around 32$
or
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 X CO
31$
That be quiet one doesn't look like a 120mm
MAIN FEATURES:
Compatible with Intel sockets: 1150 / 1151 / 1155 / 1200
Compatible with AMD sockets: AM3 (+) / AM4
Processor operating range (W): 120
Three high-performance 6 mm heatpipes with aluminium caps transport heat to the most efficient heat sink points of the fins
Dimensions: 82 x 97 x 135 mm
Fan dimensions: 92 x 92 x 25 mm
Weight: 0.38 Kg
yeah that's no 120 fan
Yea that's a 92mm fan
freezer 7x is the better one for sure
so i should go for this one
100mm fan
thanks for help guys
yo there is ARCTIC COOLING Freezer A35
41$
133 mm fan
ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, initiated and continues to shape the trend towards quiet cooling systems. In addition to an extensive range of CPU/GPU coolers and fans, ARCTIC produces high-quality monitor arms and wall brackets as well as practical tech equ...
same as this one but its 41$
cant find it for lower here
Both are acceptable lol because they currently have those options
They have
They has
Smsh
They is plural
Rommy has
Rommy have
Deepcool is singular
anways is this a good fan?
and is it better than 7x
Has the mesh panel of the o11 seen to make airflow better
do there fans actually look the purple cause i cant get any of my fans to do that
maybe its just mme being stupid
Talking about 1 friend missing a party: "They aren't gonna show up". 
Yes I know they can be singular
But in that sentence it was singular
its decent ye
Haha, just noticed part of the other stuff. We just gotta bicker (about english/grammar) sometimes.

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
what do you do with your pc because in most cases a 13700k or 13900k would be better
just game and watch shows running a 2 monitor setup, ik intel is usually better but i kinda wanted to switch cpu to amd so its the same as gpu
Brand is irrelevant, performance is what matters
Cpu and gpu of same brand also doesn't affect performance
no they actually trade blows a lot of the time its just ryzen 7000 pricing sucks and you must use ddr5 whereas with 13th gen you ran reuse your ddr4
and the motherboard pricing is really bad
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
Sam is basically useless in most scenarios
gotcha, and would you recommend an upgrade to the motherboard?
Eh, you could if you want to but if it's 3200c16 that's fine
aight cool
us
If you're just gaming I would consider 13600k or 13500 tbh
98% of the 13900K gaming experience for a fraction of the money
im fine shelling out a few more bucks just want my pc to run the bestest
whats your current cooler and case btw?
And psu
difference between 13700k and 13600k is quite small tbf
Sounding like a whole new pc rn
it has no front airflow at all
youre gonna get wayyyyy better temps with a new case
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+
while we are at it whats your psu?
1000watt one sec for the name

that will do
B tier iirc

Part List - Intel Core i5-13600K, Phanteks Eclipse G360A ATX Mid Tower
correct will do just fine
flex
would you recommend the new case, i run my pc 24/7 without the glass panel on
Also remember the asrock z690's all have bios fladh
well with a new case you can leave the side panel on
yeah but like 190 vs 200
Eh rly?
for a decent one
No 140 option?
ye
huh
Intel do be popular ig
steel legend is actually like 170
wifi is nice tho
also not having to bios flash is nice
The way its meant to be
actually in a good case side panel on is usually better
direct the airflow n all
Open air bettar
nein
He wouldn't understand, don't make it hard
THE WAY GOD INTENDED
NO CASE
true one second
beep boop x99
"Actually" 🤓🤓🤓
my pc is actually on the floor no case
All I read is nonsense. Please do research on x99 before attempting to speak of it 🤓
why 
Wow, you grounded it
GOOD
Big brain
beep boop x79?
GET ALL THE DUST AND DEBRIS
Hang on lemme try Pato
All I read is nonsense. Please do research on x79 before trying to speak of it 🤓
yummy
BOOP BEEP X79?
nah i usually run my vaccum over all the parts 🙂


i hope that is sarcasm
Well sir
We can definitely help you today

Step right up to the clinical world of wegg technologies™️
Good 
maybe try it the right way up he might not understand australian
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?
dǝǝq dǝǝq 66ᄅx dooq dǝǝq
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
much better
or useful for running things like discord chrome
but i do be productively playing my games


also by chance this would ruin everything i plan on running 2 4k monitors would that have to be taken into consideration
and 6900xt should be plenty for that
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
Eh not really
69800xt?
Then good, stick with it
What?
6900xt
Nice
64
i would deff grab the 13700k non kf assuming youre not dual monitor gaming
and just using the 2nd for chrome or something
ye
the igpu would take load off the 6900xt
igpu?
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)
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
Ye
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
@leaden mauve Thx
Can, might be better to wipe the old pc and sell it tho as is
ah tru
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?
there would be one spot left i think with the list i put together for you so yeah you could take one of them
The thunderbolt card just slap it into probably the second x16 slot
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
@cyan ravine ok I’ll give it shot when I get my pc back, it’s in the shop rn
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
@cyan ravine Thank you for the help
@carmine epoch 2x 16 slots yeah?
Yeah
It has 3 sorry, I’m thinking about another I was looking at
GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0) AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 AMD X570S ATX Motherboard
This?
Yeah
Yeah second slot
Ok thanks 🙏🏾
If you wanna ask about pc or deal advice please ask here or in #tech-deals-discussion instead
@neon geode ^
that aio is currently on backorder on newegg should i just order it or find a different one?
That's a shame, I'd get this
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2PFKHx/arctic-liquid-freezer-ii-360-563-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00068a
Or the ls720 white version if you want rgb
Does this look 100% plugged in
although it does say ETA Date: 1/3/2023
yes
Tomorrow lol
and theyve been ordered, thank you guys much 😎 👉 👉

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
normal
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
How good is this PC Build? im trying to build my first PC for around 1800 CAD https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/2qqB6r
93
go down to like a 650W PSU thats plenty
Anything else that i could change? Like make better or save money on?
the buildapc said that this build was pretty bad, and my friend who built his own PC said it would be good
Lots of overspending where it's not needed
Want me to make a list?
Asus MOBOs tend to be more expensive so find something different if you wanna save
Mobo cooler gpu psu quite a bit could be put into better performance
you also need to get like a gram-3.5 grams of thermal paste
Sure! and could you give recommendations for replacements if possible?
No i havent bought anything yet
Ok good
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
@harsh hull can you stretch to 1950?
If not it's ok, but I'll have quite a bit of budget left
the most im willing to go is 2100 with taxes
Ok awesome
Part List - Intel Core i5-12400, Radeon RX 6900 XT, Deepcool CG560 ATX Mid Tower
Part List - Intel Core i5-13600KF, Radeon RX 6800, Deepcool CG560 ATX Mid Tower
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
can anyone help me get a bios update? at least i think thats what i need?
@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
Ok
How's this @harsh hull https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/FjWB6r
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600KF, Radeon RX 6800, Deepcool CG560 ATX Mid Tower
All I did was change cpu really, 1736
We can trim it more
Part List - Intel Core i5-12600KF, Radeon RX 6800, Deepcool CG560 ATX Mid Tower
1692
(I would really go with a z690 tho so this is realllyyyy if it can't fit at all)
This looks good!
Thank you so much!
Np
It's a solid 1440p build
Will play whatever you want really
Good for some video/graphics work or light CAD too
Sick
I don’t plan to overclock it or anything
But one thing
Go for it
All the parts should fit in the case as is correct?
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
can someone look over my parts list to help me figure out if its overkill?
Sure. If it's a pcpartpicker list that should be a whitelisted link for you to post.
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
4dimms of ddr5 
Even with inflated prices yeah
And yes, 4 dimms of ddr5 is generally a no no
really?
The motherboards struggle hard to do 4 dimms any faster than jedec
You don't need 64gb for games
i meant to do 32gbs
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?
budget peak is 3500 but 3k would be better
Ok brb I'll make something
no its for me
oh
Zen 4 3D should be out next month
ive been talking to him about it since he’s in IT
Could I get a second brain in on this? I trust Felix 1000x more than the people over at buildapc but always good to get more feedback. My price range is 1700
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
I would have done faster memory but it looks good overall
Won't make too much difference
This is what 3K can give you
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j2YQsL
Part List - Intel Core i7-13700KF, GeForce RTX 4090, Fractal Design Focus 2 RGB ATX Mid Tower
Wouldn't do i9 with that board
Wouldn't do i9 with that board.
That too
But this build is extreme overkill
In like, everything
4k gaming is expected
4k240 ready
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
Could do a 1440 ultrawide like a Alienware qdoled or something 
Nah, still bottlenecked
Yep swap to a 6950 XT and that's half the cost of the build down right there 
Take the build cost down buy the $1000 monitor 👀
thanks for the help felix 🙂
Np
This is a much better build
Sweeps the 4080 build easily
Both in cpu and gpu performance
By a significant margin yeah
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
Little storage would be like, wd blue or seagate barracuda iirc
i have one more question
I am ready
instead of the 16 core i7 you originally added, would it be detrimental to instead put in the i5-12600k 3.7GHz 10 core?
right
Minimum is like, 12900K/13600K+
I mean honestly you’ll still be bottlenecked with the i7
that's not bad
Eh
1.6 cents per GB, best you'll find on a decent enough drive in that class
It's the clock and cache that matters more than the core count
It’s a great BUDGET cpu but when the budget is 3k 
damn
Idk man I can’t justify not spending
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
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
the case was just from what ive seen recently and for appearance
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
yeah i was just going off of brands i knew since im somewhat new to pc specs but i know how to build
You'll want one of the top large airflow focused cases for a 4090
Could just do a Corsair 4000d case to update the looks
Something like the fractal torrent
4000d doesn't actually fit
4090 gets too close to the bottom
Fractal torrent would be good
