I need as much utilization as possible.
I’m tossing 128g of 3200 in there
Hopefully I can chop 3 hours of render time to a few minutes haha

if my friend doesnt use the other half of my kit of ballistix ill be back at 128gb 3600

the cpu cooler best to be upwards to provide better vrm cooling as well
also is that a corsair 4000 or 5000 airflow

Did you already buy everything?
digital nebula
bro im like praying to god that i get a mobo that has the correct version on it. i wish i could tell what version i was getting the mobo on before being bought
im probably going to refund the motherboard i just need to find another motherboard to buy and then go from there.
could go for this thing its ready for ryzen 7000 series but would that even be worth it for the 5800x3d?
desert gulch
Doesn't even fit a 5800x3d
Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 5000 (and earlier) are completely different sockets
You'll be looking for a 500 series board (x570, b550)
digital nebula
Even then alot of those motherboards says they're compatible but they support gen 3. So ig I'm just inevitably going to have to find a board that has flashback
desert gulch
That'd be the safest bet
5800x3d came out right before the new 7000 series
So its kinda an inconvenient time for board manufacturers to put another new bios in and actually have those boards reach consumers
digital nebula
yeah im kind of just annoyed cause im not sure how the refund system works for newegg cause its saying to return it so ig if i do it while the board says its in transit id assume itll just ship back to where it came from or what?
like im lowkey just wanting to go for the crosshair dark hero again just because ik itll come compatible and actually work for the cpu without the hassle
digital nebula
That'd be the safest bet
or could i go for just purchasing a 3000 series for the motherboard and then flash the bios?
cyan ravine
cheap one with flashback we recommended to you Lunarr
cos dark hero is an excessive waste with x3d
digital nebula
cheap one with flashback we recommended to you Lunarr
the one that was recommended to me from the partpicker list doesnt have flashback
cyan ravine
show
digital nebula
which is the motherboard that i would inevitably have to return and idek if i can print out the label
its just going to cause more stress than needed cause id have to wait for the box to arrive try to print out a sticker for it and slap it on the box waiting for the mail man to come back
cyan ravine
I'm pretty sure the one I would have recommended would have had flashback
digital nebula
i dont remember what you recommended and the fact that if i try to refund it just forces me to try and return the item
cyan ravine
this looks more like it
in fact I remember now
I did recommend this specific board
digital nebula
im honestly just annoyed like ik i kinda did this to myself but if i knew the board didnt have a bios flashback or would need to be updated i wouldnt have bought it
ill have to just pay for the board and then see how to return the other one
cyan ravine
found the list
the list still holds up
so I mean if you wanna still use the link in my reply go for it
digital nebula
i mean i got the money to spend so im not worried about it i just dont want to have a motherboard taking up space that im never going to use if i dont end up returning it
digital nebula
im talking about the motherboard that i already bought aka the asus prime
2nd time in a row that id basically have to return or refund an item lmao
digital nebula
yeah and my moms probly not gonna enjoy hearing that i bought another board that im gonna have to go through refunding or returning when it gets here
cyan ravine
hm
digital nebula
so like yeah ik the board i bought works its just buying another cpu that ill only use the one time
or buying a whole other board and just returning the other one if i can print out the label and get the money back
cyan ravine
i mean, it would work in the prime, we just wouldn't be 100% sure if the bios is up to date
it's unlikely but if it's from a high volume article you're probably ok at this point, the cpu is 9 months out of release, and bios' are about a year old now
we just say flashback to be on the safe side...it's happened to people here even recently 
digital nebula
yeah so im just gonna buy the board and tell my mom i need to return the other one lmao
cyan ravine
if you want
make sure to apologise to amazon when you do again
imo that would be the right thing to do
digital nebula
oh no its on new egg this time
cyan ravine
oh then you're good
digital nebula
i bought the board from newegg
cyan ravine
tell them they're old eggs and laugh
digital nebula
yeah so im gonna hate spending the money but i mean if im lucky theyll ship or deliver the item early
itll arrive either way on like the next day or later
ok so i bought it, with the shipping so itll arrive either earlier or by the 28th. its sold and shipped by amazon so no scams this time hopefully
digital nebula
tell them they're old eggs and laugh
i appreciate the help tho sorry im kinda like spamming the chat and what not im just like "i need information but not really"

@fossil cedar nvm they were in the morning
Btw when can I not upgrade them
Like in 4 years I can't upgrade it
fossil cedar
Okay cool
fossil cedar
Like in 4 years I can't upgrade it
What do you mean?
bold stone
What do you mean?
My friend said smth like you cant upgrade a pc after 5 years with specific gpus
And cpus
Etc
bold stone
You could upgrade it tomorrow if you wanted to
He meant the opposite
In like 5 years you cant upgrade it
obsidian wigeon
That is wrong
You can always upgrade in a same pc as long as the case fits the new parts
fossil cedar
Can I upgrade it after 10 years let's say
You can upgrade it whenever you like
obsidian wigeon
New motherboard, ram and power supply may be needed if the parts have gotten old
Or have become inadequate/incompatible for new parts
fossil cedar
Literally nothing is on a time limit
obsidian wigeon
^
The only limit is design
5 years from now cpu will use another socket and so on
But nothing stops you from doing that lol
Everything is all standard parts
dim reef
Did you already buy everything?
no not yet
bold stone
5 years from now cpu will use another socket and so on
My friend said I should save to 1.4k to get a pc that is upgradable for more time
Is that true
obsidian wigeon
Are they suggesting you to go amd?
obsidian wigeon
if that's your budget it's fine
would save up for better cpu but it doesn't really matter too much
can always upgrade in the future
obsidian wigeon
there's no time limit
you can always swap parts out
and no one knows what will come out in 5 years ahead
bold stone
there's no time limit
Didn't you say every 5 years you no longer can upgrade
The socket changes
mossy venture
It doesnt mean those cpus would stop existing
If the computer still works 10 years from now you can still buy a 13th gen cpu and put it in that mobo after a bios update

@elfin flame @mossy venture what if I want to upgrade past a 13th gen,what would it cost
Ok sp
I got an i5
I want to upgrade to i7
What wpuld it cost me
mossy venture
Past 13th gen would require a new motherboard
Which depending on when exactly you're buying, would cost about the same as whatever tier cpu you get then (ex 15700k would likely not be that much more than 13700k msrp) and a decent mobo for around 120-160
bold stone
Which depending on when exactly you're buying, would cost about the same as what...
Ok I got a question
This,let's say I wanna upgrade the i3 to an i5
Would I be able to
mossy venture
13400f would be fine
bold stone
Yeah but what if I wanna upgrade to another I gen
Like i7 for example if I save for it
bold stone
I'm so lost in this,can you explain it to me with 0 experience
mossy venture
H610s, b660s, h670s, z690s, h710s, b760s, h770s and z790s can only support 12th and 13th gen
Any cpus before or after that run on different motherboards
Intel has already confirmed that 14th gen will be a different socket from 13th and 12th gen
snow wasp
Basically generation
bold stone
@mossy venture so if I change the mother board I can get a newer gen?
bold stone
13700 is 13th gen
Ah
mossy venture
Yes.
mossy venture
You will also need new ram for any cpu past 13th gen too
As 13th gen is the last generation to support ddr4
mossy venture
Well, obviously cpu too, but yes
Cpu mobo and ram would have to all be changed at the same time
bold stone
Ah,is that costy
mossy venture
None of those three would work with any others of a different generation
However that mobo would be fine with a 13400f
bold stone
However that mobo would be fine with a 13400f
And i version?
feral citrus
I have a 970 Evo m.2 ssd, and 3 m.2 looking slots on my new mobo. Does it matter which one I plug it into?
mossy venture
And i version?
?
mossy venture
Yes, but the motherboard has something called vrms
Which is cpu power delivery
It likely won't do great with an i7
mossy venture
The 5600 is almost as good as the 12400f
mossy venture
The 5600 beats the 12100f
mossy venture
Yes
And that mobo would likely be fine with a 5800x3d, so you still have an upgrade path imo
bold stone
And that mobo would likely be fine with a 5800x3d, so you still have an upgrade ...
Ah,can I upgrade it even more in the future by changing the ram and cpu and mobo?
mossy venture
Yes

It doesn't show up in bios? Do you have the usb plugged into the motherboard and not the case ye?

How does bios flashback work? Do I just plug in the USB hard drive that has the update I need and then press the flashback button?
obsidian wigeon
Yes, but you might have to rename the bios file if the manual says so
The usb drive has to be empty with just the bios file, and it has to be plugged into the flash port
Then you press the flash button

Well I'm saying the usb I have has the windows update download on it and it says it wipes the drive so idk if it would work after the bios update

What brand motherboard is it

Yeah so you'd just create the installer USB, check that the USB is FAT32, copy the update file to the USB, and rename the update file to MSI.ROM
digital nebula
How do I check to see if a hard drive is fat32? Will it just say it is?
digital nebula
Ah ok so basically Is just need to buy a drive that I feel would be a fat32 drive
potent portal
No drive format is determined by the Windows install creation tool
jagged ember
Pretty sure you can also just format it to fat32
jagged ember
No drive format is determined by the Windows install creation tool
Not that you'd need to, on account of this
potent portal
Yes but using the creation tool formats the drive again anyway
digital nebula
I just read that a SanDisk drive can be formatted to it sorry I'm big noob
potent portal
That's ok that's why we're here

Windows creation tool will do it for you
No need to worry about preformatting which is nice

Hey man if it gets you the best performance imo it's worth

cyan ravine
Try looking up acer nitro 5, msi gf65, asus tuf dash f15
The 3060 laptops will beat anything you could come up with as a desktop for 600jod
By maybe 20-30%
If they are even 660 they'll be worth getting
cyan ravine
What downsides?
potent portal
At least with a laptop you don't need to worry about a keyboard and monitor, though a mouse is still recommended
cyan ravine
The parts are low power enough they won't be terribly hot in the lap, and although you need to charge, you can take it places a desktop couldn't go
Desktop sits in a wall all day too, won't really be any different tbh
bold stone
What downsides?
Charging,heat,bad durability
bold stone
At least with a laptop you don't need to worry about a keyboard and monitor, tho...
No way I'd use a laptop keyboard tbh
cyan ravine
Laptops produce less heat than a desktop
bold stone
Do they?
potent portal
Laptops produce less heat than a desktop
This, because they consume a fraction of the power
cyan ravine
Yes, this would be 150W (laptop) vs 300W+
And that's being generous it'll be more like 120W
bold stone
But isn't the heat in the case only
cyan ravine
3060 laptop for warzone gets between 90 and 120 fps
bold stone
The laptop (or atleast the one I had) was too hot to touch after 3 hours of using it

Sounds good. Glad it's working for you now.
warm cave
Hey so uh.
I got my machine put together
And when I turn her on. I’m getting this
That’s not good right ? I mean if goes away…
It*
jagged hill
i am almost finished with my backup build
obsidian wigeon
And when I turn her on. I’m getting this
Which leds are those that lit up?
What does it say next to the leds?
I can't read with the vid
warm cave
Sorry!
The red cpu blinks then goes away
Then the dram light stays lit
A defect would mean the cpu light stays continuously lit right?
obsidian wigeon
Okay, which board and cpu do you have?
obsidian wigeon
Okay, that could be ram issue
cpu is automatically not a problem for now
Try booting with just one stick
warm cave
Ok one moment
Well..it made the cpu light blink only a brief second. Dram light is still lit up
obsidian wigeon
Try resetting cmos
Find the battery, or short the cmos reset headed
It sounds like it was trying to train the ram, but failed after trying again and again
Also do try booting with each stick in the kit
cyan ravine
Am I crazy or is that ram in backwards
obsidian wigeon
idk lol
native vale
what slots do you have your ram in? can we get a picture of the everything?
native vale
take the ram out and try to boot it.
native vale
are your fans turning on when you hit the power button?
obsidian wigeon
Corsair vengeance is known to not work on some boards with some units
But still I would try swapping sticks
native vale
also use two separate 8 pins to the GPU.
obsidian wigeon
Since you said the ram was working before
warm cave
also use two separate 8 pins to the GPU.
?
Well..the red light is gone on the cpu..
That’s…good?
native vale
You have an 8 pin that has a second 8 pin piggybacked. I would remove the 8 pin on the left hand side and replace it with another separate 8 pin. This is after you get it working\
obsidian wigeon
Oof
Okay try one stick on every slots
One after another
If nothing works I would try updating bios
The board should have flashback
native vale
on page 28 of the mobo manual it says to put a single stick in the A2 slot. move it one away from the cpu
warm cave
Oh I see
obsidian wigeon
Sometimes bios update might be needed to be compatible with the kit
obsidian wigeon
You can get a usb stick
warm cave
It’s in a2 slot.
obsidian wigeon
And put bios file inside
A phone would work if you have a way to plug a usb drive into it
warm cave
And put bios file inside
Still just light
obsidian wigeon
I would say it's bios update that's needed then
native vale
can you send a picture of the label on the ram stick?
native vale
So that ram is not on the Qualified vendor list. That may be part of the issue.
cyan ravine
Oh i guess they have the usually back stickers on the front
obsidian wigeon
QVL is meaningless
cyan ravine
QvL is a meme btw. Most likely the sticks are straight dead
native vale
Also that red light at the top of the stack means the cpu is not detected or has failed.
obsidian wigeon
The sticks are fine tho, worked on a different machine
warm cave
Ya I literally just pulled them out
warm cave
Also that red light at the top of the stack means the cpu is not detected or has...
Well that’s not coming on now
obsidian wigeon
On an msi board if dram and cpu light flashes it just means it's training the ram
cyan ravine
Nah it cycling the red an orange light is it failing to train
obsidian wigeon
^
cyan ravine
So he tried cmos foxy?
warm cave
It comes on for a brief moment and then turns off
obsidian wigeon
Nah
warm cave
Not yet
cyan ravine
Try cmos
obsidian wigeon
I told him but he didn't yet
cyan ravine
It can sometimes fix this
warm cave
When it’s on or off?
cyan ravine
Either
obsidian wigeon
either works
cyan ravine
The beauty of the button is either works
native vale
Just that yellow/orange light indicates an issue with the ram
cyan ravine
Did you hold the cmos down for 10 seconds?
warm cave
There’s no cmos button on the up
cyan ravine
What's a good cooler
What it comes with is fine
warm cave
Io
native vale
do the battery or jumper
obsidian wigeon
There is on the back of the pc
cyan ravine
There’s no cmos button on the up
Should be

What it comes with is fine
I'm trying to build it on amazon,the cooler isn't on amazon

arctic liquid freeze 240 would be a really solid option for that computer
cyan ravine
I'm trying to build it on amazon,the cooler isn't on amazon
It'll come with the cpu
Nah don't need it for 5600
Just use the stock cooler
obsidian wigeon
5600 on stock is completely okay
bold stone
Just use the stock cooler

I think he is trying to use that prebuilt as specs for his build

I don't think anything comes with it

There’s a bios flash button

I don't think anything comes with it
It does

Is that it? lol

I think he is trying to use that prebuilt as specs for his build
I'm trying to build something similar but cheaper on amazon

There’s a bios flash button
Only bios flash???
obsidian wigeon
Cmos reset button is next to it

No such luck.

Your ssd shouldn't have anything to do with that boot screen that was showing up although granted I've never seen that screen it just doesn't make much sense as you don't need a formatted ssd to install windows you can format it in the installer

What's the budget?

What's the budget?
600 jod for everything including k and m and minitor

What's that in USD since you'll be using us Amazon if I'm correct?

Uhh depends how much the case costs

Csn you estimate it pls
fossil cedar
Csn you estimate it pls
Should be less than 10kg in total

that is like under 900 usd btw.

I don't know the timings on that ram and that is an improtant factor. If you have the exact model number I can help with the ram.

Wait wait I just discovered an option

I need to pay 175 JOD for 9 kg from suadi to here
Wow....
What a scam
I'd be better off buy the pre build lmao
From the local site

Yeah I bet a business gets a better rate sending things to the customer.
Works the same way in the us.
bold stone
@fossil cedar hey bro
Amazon won't work
Shipping from suadi to here is like my life savings
fossil cedar
Welp
native vale
Shipping costs may also factor into the local prebuilt price.
fossil cedar
Guess the prebuilt is your best bet then
native vale
Might seem high until you start to try sourcing parts.

Is their website
Maybe I can build smth for way cheaper?

386 JOD for those?

Yes but no gpu yet
There's no budget cpus really available
12400f and h610 was the cheapest you can do, they sell r5 5600 for a bit less but literally 0 am4 motherboards
And the cheapest good gpu is 1660 super for 219
Maybe it was 382 but something along those lines

fossil cedar
No like 610
obsidian wigeon
going with laptop is sometimes better if you don't already have peripherals
bold stone
With monitor mouse and keeb you're looking at like 750 JOD
30 for m and k
640
Whar fps do I get the Monitor at
And resol
fossil cedar
The cheapest monitor you can physically get is 90 JOD but it's a 21" 60hz panel
Ideally you'd like 23-24" 120hz + but that's pushing you way over budget
obsidian wigeon
imo in this case might as well go laptop
obsidian wigeon
the benefits of going pc isn't gained when budget is this low
you will need to upgrade the pc and peripherals later down the line anyway
fossil cedar
Only pc you could get in your budget is like with a gt710 maybe honestly the 3050 laptop for 630 is the way to go imo

That's a definite plus to building and troubleshooting yourself. You learn a lot about the hardware.
