[cyan ravine]

I think the 50 extra for a new 6900XT would be worth it

3080 for that much is a bit bleh

But then again EU is a bit messed up lol

[karmic mirage]

And its even better

It is right?

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

much faster

[cyan ravine]

Oh no I'd definitely say 6900xt is better

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[cyan ravine]

No question

[karmic mirage]

Ah okay awesome ill go with that them

[cyan ravine]

I'd only change mind if you were doing like, VR or blender

[karmic mirage]

I do wanna do vr

[cyan ravine]

Ah well then there you go

[karmic mirage]

So 3080 best bet?

[cyan ravine]

Kinda worth going the other way then

I feel like you could get one cheaper

[karmic mirage]

Tried to but cant find them

[cyan ravine]

Looked in r/Hardwareswap?
(Do they have an eu group?)

[karmic mirage]

Idk

[cyan ravine]

Might be worth a look

[karmic mirage]

But 6900xt here is 1000 euros

Wait let me look second hand

[cyan ravine]

Jeez if a 6900xt is 1000 then maybe a 3080 is reasonable after all

[karmic mirage]

Second hand one 1 is 600 euros

The others 800 euros

[cyan ravine]

Amazon DE has merc310 for 720 euros new

[karmic mirage]

And its only waterblock

[cyan ravine]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/FgxRsY/xfx-radeon-rx-6900-xt-16-gb-speedster-merc-319-black-video-card-rx-69xtatbd9

Different region?

[karmic mirage]

Amazon de is known for sometimes not delivering

[cyan ravine]

Germany ok tho?

[vital patrol]

Hi guys, someone from here use Asus Rog Strix B650E-E Gaming Wifi MB? I want to buy a memory kit of 32gb ram 6000Mhz CL32 DDR5 from G.Skill Neo RGB and dont know if this is compatible. On website just cl 30, 36 and 40 are presented as compatible.

[karmic mirage]

netherlands

btw 7900xt is like 60 euros cheaper then a new 6900 xt

[cyan ravine]

It is???

[karmic mirage]

it is

[cyan ravine]

That would be way better

[karmic mirage]

but its still 900 euros

[cyan ravine]

There's also 6800xt for 600 euro

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/vKZ9TW/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-xt-16-gb-speedster-merc-319-core-video-card-rx-68xtalfd9

[karmic mirage]

880

[cyan ravine]

The seller seems good

[karmic mirage]

for vr then?

[cyan ravine]

Not really no ,😂

Lolol

[karmic mirage]

lmfao

[cyan ravine]

Used 3080 for 600 seems more decent though after looking through Netherlands pricing

[karmic mirage]

yep

well then 3080 it is

evga ftw 3080 im going for

[cyan ravine]

[karmic mirage]

thank you a lot for your help

[heavy atlas]

can someone put a psu a gpu in this build for me?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

bc this is my first build

[paper summit]

Try sending the link again

[heavy atlas]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[paper summit]

Still no lol

Are you copying the link thay It provided above your build

[heavy atlas]

is that good?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cQcBKp

idk why it says psu is 300

[analog hearth]

it says it's $329.00 because it's only available on Amazon, where it isn't available on Newegg or Corsair

if you want my advice, check the PSU tier list and see if there's another 850W PSU that's cheaper. because $330 for an 850W PSU is too much

[heavy atlas]

wb the gpu?

what will be a good 1?

or is that one good?

[obsidian wigeon]

That psu price is ouch

Is this going to be a new pc or?

Cause the list is missing so many things

[analog hearth]

I wouldn't know about the GPU. but I know for sure that PSU is stupidly overpriced

[heavy atlas]

i already have everything else

besides the gpu and psu

[analog hearth]

Use this and basically just look for any of the A-tier PSUs that fit your desired power output and price
https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[heavy atlas]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TFWHZw

that’s my build

i’m missing the psu and gpu

[obsidian wigeon]

hm ok

lemme edit that whole build for you, with the parts you haven't gotten

[heavy atlas]

ok

[analog hearth]

idk whether you're going for that 6800 XT as an upgrade, but personally I don't think it would be worth it as an upgrade from a 6800

https://technical.city/en/video/Radeon-RX-6800-XT-vs-Radeon-RX-6800

[heavy atlas]

man what?

i haven’t built my pc yet😭

[obsidian wigeon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g2FGQ6

A bit cheaper and better psu

[analog hearth]

if you already have a 6800, don't upgrade to a 6800 XT. I would just overclock the 6800 (I'm also just waking up and idk the full context of what's going on lol)

[heavy atlas]

it says the Radeon RX 6600 is on sale for 270

[obsidian wigeon]

That's a big downgrade

[heavy atlas]

so just stick with the gpu in my build?

[analog hearth]

yes

I'd learn to overclock if you don't already know how. you can use the Radeon drivers that you have installed for your GPU

[heavy atlas]

ok

what’s radeon drivers?

[analog hearth]

the drivers for your GPU

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6800-series/amd-radeon-rx-6800

this driver

and please tell me you have that installed lol

[little osprey]

Is there a 32GB DDR4 RAM kit with RGB that I could sync with my G360A's pre-installed fans?

[neat mango]

this might be stupid since it said its lga 1700 ready but does it come with the bracket https://www.newegg.com/evga-liquid-cooling-system-clx-240/p/N82E16835288019?Item=N82E16835288019 ?

[analog hearth]

the motherboard typically comes with the bracket. your AIO will come with anything extra for either socket (whether it's AM4, LGA1700, etc.)

if the AIO states it supports your socket, it'll come with any additional parts if needed

I found this in the description. given that you stated for LGA1700, it'll fit

@neat mango

[neat mango]

@analog hearth thank you my man

[paper summit]

You're gonna have to use the 3 pin rgb header on your mobo to control your fans

[little osprey]

Do they have a stock preset color?

[paper summit]

Wym

You can control them with the on board rgb controler that's uses buttons on top of the case

Or

You can plug It into the mobo and use software

So they match the ram

[little osprey]

Oh okay

What kind of software would I use?

So wait what kind of RAM kit with RGB would be good for that?

[paper summit]

Open rgb or signal rgb

Your mobo software may be able to if your rams compatible

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/97rRsY/gigabyte-b760m-gaming-x-ax-ddr4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-b760m-gaming-x-ax-ddr4

How would I be able to figure that out?

[heavy atlas]

how much fps y’all think i will run with this gpu on cod?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/P36qqs/asrock-radeon-rx-6800-16-gb-phantom-gaming-d-oc-video-card-rx6800-pgd-16go

[paper summit]

Cpu also matters

So does resolution

And graphic settings lol

Fps doesn't mean jack unless you clarify what settings you're playing at

[mossy venture]

Depends on cpu, ram, motherboard, ssd, game, resolution, settings, what you're doing in the game

And more

[heavy atlas]

GIGABYTE Gaming OC GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card GV-N3070GAMING OC-8GD

[heavy atlas]

would that go better with my build than this?

[mossy venture]

What is your build

And what is the price difference

[heavy atlas]

that is

[mossy venture]

6800 is better

[heavy atlas]

wb the rx 6700?

XFX Speedster QICK319 AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Black Gaming Graphics Card with 12GB GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP, AMD RDNA 2 RX-67XTYPBDP

that

that

[paper summit]

I have a 6700xt runs everything at 1440p

I'd go 6800 tho

[heavy atlas]

so the 6800 is better?

[paper summit]

Yes

[heavy atlas]

my mom said not to get the 6800 cus the reviews are bad tho

she said get this 1

https://a.co/d/9JKGs3d

[paper summit]

It has a 4 star rating lol

[heavy atlas]

so stick with the 6800?

[paper summit]

Yes

Haha

[heavy atlas]

ok ty

[rich void]

Yes, and also is there a non-Asrock 6800 available around the same price point?

[heavy atlas]

idk

[rich void]

This one is basically the same price with the offer code
https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-6800-11305-02-20g/p/N82E16814202394?Item=N82E16814202394&Description=rx 6800&cm_re=rx_6800-_-14-202-394-_-Product&quicklink=true

[heavy atlas]

so which 1 should i get?😭😭

[rich void]

Personally I'd buy the sapphire as Asrock has done some pretty anti-consumer stuff, but it's possible I am just ignorant of stuff Sapphire has done

Both should perform about the same, difference would be cooling and customer support

[heavy atlas]

which 1 has better cooling?

[rich void]

I haven't seen a head to head review 🤷‍♂️

[little osprey]

GPU cooling relies partly on your case airflow

[little osprey]

Would this be overkill for a 13400F?

Also are there any better/cheaper 32GB RAM kits that would come with RGB?

[lyric thistle]

Isn't hyper212 one of the more basic cooler upgrades?

I would keep the stock cooler on I think

[potent portal]

Yeah there's $25 coolers that beat the H212, it's a REALLY old design

[little osprey]

Ah okay, well I was looking at another one

One sec

@potent portal

[potent portal]

AK400 is great

[little osprey]

I'm just looking for a tower air cooler that's in black

[potent portal]

AG400 is too

[little osprey]

Only the AK400 comes in the blackout

[fossil cedar]

oof the dark really on h212 levels of price there

[little osprey]

This one is cheaper but comes with one less fan on the tower

I dunno how much that effects it

[potent portal]

It won't matter much on the 13400

But I'd say the second fan is worth $4

[lyric thistle]

Free fan

Free meaning 4 dollars :)

[little osprey]

Alright

Hmmm, now for the RAM kit

[potent portal]

As far as memory, the max you can do without changing to gear 2 and taking a heavy latency penalty on the locked 13th gen chips is 3466 because of the locked SA voltage

So you can get a used 3200 14-18-18 kit and set it to 3466

[little osprey]

Hmmm okay, well is a 32GB upgrade unneeded?

Would 16GB just be fine?

[potent portal]

32GB is still good to have these days

[little osprey]

Oh okay

[potent portal]

US right?

[little osprey]

Mhm

So something like this?

Well, it's not RGB but the more I think about it, it doesn't really matter that much

I would prefer if I could get a kit in black though

What kind of options would I have for brand new for a decent price?

[earnest olive]

I don't see it at $100

[earnest olive]

2666 💀

[fossil cedar]

nono dw its dropped all the way down to a reasonable 55$ now i think /s

[fossil cedar]

oh yay its back up to its good price of 100$

[earnest olive]

it is illegal for techies to be wrong

you are now no longer techie

[fossil cedar]

crappp

[earnest olive]

leave your PC at the door

you'll be receiving an alienware in the mail shortly

[fossil cedar]

no

nono

nonoonon

nonononoononn

pls no

[earnest olive]

but don't worry it's been upgraded

the motherboard was upgraded to a b450m ds3h with usb riser cables for the front i/o and a dell psu adapter

and the ram has been upgraded to 4x4gb 2666c16 corsair vengeance lpx (each stick has different ICs)

[potent portal]

https://tenor.com/view/mojojojo-mojo-jojo-powerpuffgirls-evil-gif-10021241

[earnest olive]

and the cpu is a lovely launch week ryzen 7 5800x… but don’t worry it’ll stay nice and cool under dell’s patented alienware cryo cooling (120mm aio as exhaust with 0 intake fans)

oh yeah also we chose the single 1tb hard drive option

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/darryl-the-office-darryl-philbin-the-office-yay-yay-gif-yay-gif-25696872

[little osprey]

I just realized

[earnest olive]

isn’t it crazy that dell still lets you configure modern high end systems to boot off of a hard drive

[fossil cedar]

yummy

[neat mango]

will someone check my build out to make sure i didnt mess anything up https://newegg.io/c8ae1ba

[mossy venture]

what is your total budget and use case

[neat mango]

@mossy venture 3k i would be purchasing 120mm fans to make up some of the space. why would you recommend another case?

[mossy venture]

I would recommend an entirely different build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dwJfwc

the 13700k destroys the 12900k both in gaming and workstation loads

@neat mango

I also would not limit yourtself to one retailer

[neat mango]

@mossy venture alright awesome let take a look. now you trust some of these brands im not a huge fan of the mobo i like to stick to msi

[mossy venture]

model matters much more than brand

brand is next to irrelevant in fact

[neat mango]

@mossy venture yeah only on newegg at the moment to get a build before i look for prices

[potent portal]

Unless it's asrock on Intel, or Biostar in general

[mossy venture]

biostar is an exception

[neat mango]

its an asrock on intel

[mossy venture]

and asrock has some good mobos

if you really care https://pcpartpicker.com/product/k7mmP6/msi-pro-z790-p-wifi-atx-lga1700-motherboard-pro-z790-p-wifi

[neat mango]

trying to be alittle fancy so yeah alittle

[potent portal]

Asrock is the only brand that follows the Intel spec when it comes to power limits and turbo. Every other brand boosts both out of the box. A lot of Asrock boards also can't handle the stock settings.

Higher end asrock is good tho

[neat mango]

thank you both of you

now really that i7 is better than the i9?

[mossy venture]

the 13600k, an i5 is

let alone the 13700k

[neat mango]

yeah i think i would go with the i7 13700k

do you know why this is the case

[mossy venture]

different generation

core count doesn't equal performance

higher core count is useful for some non gaming tasks

but for gaming, beyond 8 cores is generally useless

even 8 is pushing it for most games

[stoic island]

When each core is faster, fewer cores, but faster cores, can perform better than more but slower cores

[mossy venture]

pushing it as in 6 is more than enough and won't see much of a diff for most games, if the individual cores perform similar

single core performance is more important than multi core performance for gaming

and the 13600k i believe either matches or beats the 12900k in gaming

and matches it in multi core performance too

even compared to the 13900k, there is a maybe 2-3% difference between the 13600k and 13900k

[neat mango]

where do you end up finding this info

is there a chart on which are better?

[mossy venture]

i mean it's just general knowledge that I have, but you could watch videos of the games you want to play comparing different cpus, or go use this site to compare performance https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

you're gonna want to look at single core/thread performance if you're gaming

oh wait wrong ss

13600k basically matches the 12900k, with the 13700k beating it

[neat mango]

gotcha awesome alright thanks for all the info

[mossy venture]

ofc

any other questions about the list i threw together?

also if you want it cheaper that's very doable

[neat mango]

i really appreciate it. i prob dont need a 4090 but its not bad i may change that to get a little more rgb and looking nice

[mossy venture]

one sec, ill change that up

[neat mango]

its a very good reference though

[mossy venture]

this good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/24TJKp

rgb fans, 6 of them

though im not sure how many fan slots there are with that case, after the ones taken up by the aio

[neat mango]

plus liquid cooler has to be 280mm/360mm on top

[mossy venture]

tbh you don't even need an aio

an ag620 would do the job just fine

[neat mango]

sorry what is that?

ag620

[mossy venture]

a cooler

one sec

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MkFbt6/deepcool-ag620-bk-argb-6788-cfm-cpu-cooler-r-ag620-bkanmn-g-2

[neat mango]

alright sweet the ddr5 ram is the 6000 speed right?

plus thanks for the website didnt know about pcpartpicker

[mossy venture]

yeah, it's super cheap for a 6000mhz kit

$110 is i think the lowest I've seen one

[neat mango]

yeah i know its new so its alittle pricey

but thank you this is def more what i want here

[mossy venture]

$110 for a 32gb 6000mhz kit is amazing

that's cheaper than you'll find most 3600c16 kits for

(ddr4)

[neat mango]

ah really damn alright. also this website you sent me does it go through all the prices does it show the lowest prices to order from?\

[mossy venture]

yes it does

it's great, very useful

[neat mango]

yeah i can see that i usually manually look so this is awesome

thank you for all the info. now just waiting for that paycheck baby

[mossy venture]

happy to help, also as a heads up prices change daily

so I would check back here right before you buy for any last minute changes

[neat mango]

gotcha okay and awesome alright!

[mossy venture]

feel free to dm me later on when you plan to if you'd like, just send the link to that build list and all the info and everything so I remember who you are lol

[neat mango]

alright will do and lol true

[zenith cargo]

yall what do I need to do when switching from nvidia to amd

[stoic island]

use ddu

[spring hedge]

is this a good pc build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JJQtGL

[cyan ravine]

It is. I'd maybe change the case if anything but you might have preferred it so it's fine

[left urchin]

God my questions are so dumb but do corsair water coolers have the liquid already in it😭

[leaden mauve]

all AIOs already have coolant in them

[left urchin]

Google came in clutch

Thx lol

I'm sweatin here im almost done with my first build

[zenith cargo]

Wait

Does the Asus Prime b550m-A AC mb support a 6900xt?

@potent portal

[potent portal]

Of course

Motherboard doesn't matter for that

[dusky hearth]

Most-in-ones

Where almost everything is in it

[leaden mauve]

[left urchin]

So google is no help how do i reset my PC without logging in

Like from bios or sum

None of the F keys are booting me in it

[dusky hearth]

You might need to hold del, or backspace, or enter, or whatever

Which mobo you got

Also why do you need to reset it

[left urchin]

MSI Z590

Bc i bought it from a dude an his acc is still on it

[dusky hearth]

It's the delete key

[left urchin]

Thx so when its booting just spam delete?

[dusky hearth]

Idk if the bios has a disk format feature but yeah

Holding it will be sufficient

[left urchin]

Ah cool

[zenith cargo]

@potent portal what do I need to do in order to switch from nvidia to amd. ik i need to install ddu but is that it?

[potent portal]

Yep just run DDU and tell it to clean and shutdown. While it's shut down you swap the GPUs.

Preferably in safe mode for DDU

[zenith cargo]

ok

[azure briar]

yall think my 2gb 960 can handle 2 1080p monitors

[potent portal]

yes

[azure briar]

okay whew

the most intense game i play is probably postal 2 or something so as long as it can just run

[gentle pollen]

not with good fps no but if it's just for browsing probably.

[little osprey]

cheapest psu to get for 12100 or 12400 and 6600 type build?

[cyan ravine]

Gx2 600W probably

And that's like, barely passable imo

[little osprey]

is evga BR about the same

or bq

[obsidian wigeon]

br sucks

[little osprey]

why are psus so damn expensive

damn

[potent portal]

It's been an upward trend since the launch of ATX 3.0

For some reason

[little osprey]

500w non modular are like $70-80 for a good one

these arent even good

[potent portal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xLtKHx/apevia-prestige-600-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-atx-rp600w

[little osprey]

cool thanks

[potent portal]

C tier so it'll do nicely in that build

[little osprey]

bruh a minimal 12100 and 6600 build still comes out to $590 before tax

[potent portal]

At least it's not $1000 for the same spec like mid-shortage

[obsidian wigeon]

used case time

or heck better yet used ram

and used mobo

[potent portal]

Oh def, maybe not mobo I don't trust the pins personally

[little osprey]

maybe the play is a new xbox

[obsidian wigeon]

xbox kinda lame

[little osprey]

yeah but all the kid wants to do is apex at 120 or 140 fps

[obsidian wigeon]

not sure if apex is on xbox

but tbh having pc better long term

[little osprey]

yeah but he cant afford it 💀

[obsidian wigeon]

hm

well used time

[little osprey]

that or wait longer

[potent portal]

Used 16GB RAM is like $35-40

[obsidian wigeon]

nothing wrong with used stuff

[little osprey]

thats as much as the kit i added

[cyan ravine]

140 fps apex is probably realistic on 6600

[obsidian wigeon]

ram and ssd should be new

but other stuff can be used

[cyan ravine]

Settings down most likely

[little osprey]

here ill just send the list lol

[obsidian wigeon]

not psu tho, but it depends on the psu too

and the listing

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JQqRcb

[potent portal]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285186964473

[little osprey]

dudes a freshman in high school with no debit/paypal so idk how he'd fare in the used market

[cyan ravine]

That build looks fine

[little osprey]

time to spawn in some money

[cyan ravine]

There's no upgrade room for it

But yeah it'll work

[little osprey]

my logic with it is if the guy can barely afford this theres no upgrade path for him anytime soon

[cyan ravine]

Maybe 10$ more for this
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FmKKHx/msi-pro-b660m-g-ddr4-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-pro-b660m-g-ddr4

[little osprey]

ok cool

thanks for the help guys

[limber oyster]

Does anyone know if there's a version of this that's for the actual 3 pin argb header itself?

[jagged ember]

Like a 90 degree 3pin rgb adapter?

[olive cypress]

You wanna get rgb on your rgb connector? 💀

[paper summit]

[grim whale]

Guys I need help. I just built my new computer and something weird is happening. I turn on machine and it lights up for a split second then the only thing that stays lit up is the motherboard RGB and the RGB memory. I can power down my machine unplug the 6 pin sata that powers my ARGB fans and hit the power button and boom. Everything comes on. I’ve even tried to just plug in a few fans and they will come on for about 30 seconds and then stop. Could I have bad motherboard or Power Supply not enough? It’s 850w. I know this is very vague and short but I had to start some place. Any help would be great! Thank you to all that help me get my machine fully functional!

[frail owl]

not an expert but it sounds like a short

if the 6 pin sata is making it stop working

[mossy venture]

Do you have a parts list of the computer

It is not necessarily a short, there are many more likely things it could be

[grim whale]

That sounds very logical man. The case has a built in RGB board and I’ve added the Antec Fusion controller. I’ve tried both of them separately with same issues. I thought last night maybe the sata cable was crap.

[mossy venture]

@grim whale

[grim whale]

Antec DF600 Flux case, G Skill Z5 RGB memory (128GB), ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E motherboard, AMD RYZEN 9 7900x, ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML360L ARGB V2, Antec fusion 120 ARGB FANS, and a WD_Black 1TB M2 SSD

[mossy venture]

I would make sure ram is seated properly, possible take out 2 of the sticks if it's a 4 stick kit

[grim whale]

Will do

[frail owl]

change the sata if u have an extra

or use the sata cable in a different port

is what i would do

[mossy venture]

There is no sata drive

Even if there is, it isn't the boot drive

So it is irrelevant

[frail owl]

wait im stupid nvm

misread

[tight elbow]

Hello everyone. First time pc builder. Starting with my CPU. If my goal is to build a pc that will improve the graphics of my oculus quest 2 and to allow for other vr steam games, as well as pc games through steam, what would you recommend? My present pc will not work with steam, so anything will be an improvement. Using the pc builder, but overwhelmed with all of the options. How do you decide which CPU is right for the task when you're starting from scratch?

[mossy venture]

Are you upgrading your whole pc?

Or just the cpu at the moment

[left urchin]

Bruh who invented RGB wiring 😭

[verbal plover]

me

[left urchin]

So like my RGB wont talk to my iCUE or MSIs either so i was like maybe my wiring is wrong i go back there and i connect my wiring differently now instead of my fans being blue their white now

LIKE WHAT DOES THAT MEANNN 😭💀

And when my radiator fan is lit up the cooling block is off then when my radiator fan is off the block lights up like bruh

[livid yacht]

i dont know what drivers im supposed to get or how to enable integrated graphics

right now i went into settings and changed it to game mode

my main gpu is still PEG as i want it

but when i plug in my projector, no output shows up

i dont know if i need drivers or if i need to enable something

but my motherboard HDMI output wont work

[tight elbow]

Whole pc. Trying to decide which CPU makes sense for my needs.

[mossy venture]

What is your budget for the whole computer , country, and what are you using the pc for

[livid yacht]

I have a ryzen 7 5700g with radeon graphics

and a b550m pro vdh wifi

My graphics card im using for my 2 monitors is a gigabyte gt 1030

Let me try monitor

nope

it just puts the monitor to sleep

yup

where

i dont see it

ah

there we go

ok

i put it in

it just shows the sync master which is my vga monitor

no other monitors pop up

no the hdmi isnt displaying anything

the hdmi is my main monitor and my vga is on the left

i dont know what that is

oh that

no its vga

my graphics card has 1 vga and 1 hdmi input

so im looking for an hdmi to DP cable?

yeah no i dont have any

[dusty cedar]

anyone familiar with mystic light on the msi motherboards?

what is "weather" supposed to do or look like? because for me its a solid and steady red. all the time...

[lyric thistle]

Lmao bruhhj I forgor this was Rommy

💀💀

[lyric thistle]

Nicknames be confubing

[dusty cedar]

side note, yes my camera lens glass needs to be cleaned. no i dont care.... ok maybe i care a little cause you cant see anything on pc discord. 🧐

[leaden mauve]

fr though

[lyric thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/garfield-cat-walking-clone-garfield-clones-gif-16420558

[dusty cedar]

i would honestly just say go ahead and take your whole pc apart and try building it again. you probably have things plugged in the wrong places. or it could be as simple as a software compatibility issue.

[vernal surge]

iGPU may be disabled by default when you installed discrete graphics cards. you should be able to enable it in BIOS

[livid yacht]

thats the thing

i enabled integrated graphics

i set it to force and then gave it 64m

and thats it

am i supposed to do anything else?

i havent seen any tutorials on my specific motherboard and they all just do the same thing

[vernal surge]

nothing needs to be done as far as I'm aware

[livid yacht]

well poop.

[vernal surge]

are you sure the connected display/device was set to the right input?

[livid yacht]

ok so i tried it with my projector

i put it in the hdmi port on my motherboard

and i started it up but it didnt display anything

and when i go into settings it doesnt detect another monitor

then i tried it with my main monitor which is hdmi

and it just goes to sleep with no detection

also

when i just checked device manager

code 43 this device has stopped working

which is amd radeon graphics

its under display adapters

[earnest olive]

did you try installing radeon drivers

[livid yacht]

i installed amd software adrenalin

i did and it says the same thing

[earnest olive]

you might have defective integrated graphics

try removing the graphics card and see if anything displays

[livid yacht]

i am not gonna do that without my brother as supervision

OH MY GOD

I hate bots

[dusty cedar]

bots dont like you using profanity either

[livid yacht]

i thought this was an adult server!!!!!!!

[dusty cedar]

[lyric thistle]

This is a company server

[earnest olive]

I mean... you don't really seem like an adult

[dusty cedar]

its weird how companies and/or people seem to think that children aren't out here in the real world dropping the f bomb every 5 seconds so they hide in imagination land and censor it on the internet to "protect" them.

[earnest olive]

I don't make the rules

[dusty cedar]

i know. just sayin in general

[vernal surge]

in any case, I also think it's a good idea to verify that your iGPU is working to begin with

[leaden mauve]

It shouldnt be a problem to respect the rules of another entity's community server and just not swear.

[livid yacht]

and how would i do that?

[leaden mauve]

not weird at all

[dusty cedar]

my daughter dropped the f bomb when she was 4. last time she said it in front of me though. i know she still says it. shes 7 now.

[lyric thistle]

Lmao even profanity factories like my girlfriend avoid that stuff when around kids

[vernal surge]

like mushroom said, remove the discrete GPUs

[livid yacht]

damn, well ill try that before i get the new monitor

[earnest olive]

code 43 usually indicates a failure to install drivers, not something you want to see on your gpu

usually either a hardware fault or a vbios fault

[dusty cedar]

why is there 2 mrmaniac's? thats sus.

[earnest olive]

but you're using integrated graphics so there is no vbios

[livid yacht]

cant i try setting my main graphics to the integrated?

[earnest olive]

I've only gotten code 43 on failed vbios flashes or on a 5700xt with dead memory

[livid yacht]

its on PEG right now

[earnest olive]

you can try it

[livid yacht]

alright

[earnest olive]

unlikely to fix code 43 but can try

I've actually never seen code 43 on an igpu

[livid yacht]

Ok so

It worked

Now my monitor is displaying

Its in my motherboarf

So it is infact working

[earnest olive]

maybe it's a bios issue

[livid yacht]

maybe

[earnest olive]

is it updated to latest bios

[livid yacht]

how can i check

[earnest olive]

type dxdiag into windows search and hit enter

will display bios version somewhere on there

check against motherboard website

[livid yacht]

it just says DEFAULT SYSTEM BIOS

[earnest olive]

💀

okay just do a bios update anyways then

[livid yacht]

as if i know how

[earnest olive]

the motherboard website will have a guide on it

[livid yacht]

right now its version 1.0

[earnest olive]

might explain it

just follow the directions on mobo website

[tight elbow]

I'm using the pc for improving the graphics of an oculus quest 2, playing other vr games on steam and pc games on steam. my current monitor is 1080 and 60hz, so I will likely upgrade that as well. Would like to stay under 700-800 for the pc if possible.

[earnest olive]

missed one very important question

country

[livid yacht]

anyway, thank you for the help

but i prefer blue mushrooms

[earnest olive]

alright you're banned

[tight elbow]

Sorry, U.S.A.

[earnest olive]

does your budget of 700-800 include or exclude monitor

[tight elbow]

exclude

[earnest olive]

any preference for storage capacity

[tight elbow]

was recommended that I get 1 tb+ of ssd

no preference, otherwise

[dusty cedar]

i'm having a tough time understanding this one. you want to run vr on a budget of less than 1k? a good graphics card doing what you want for vr is going to cost your whole budget, wont it?. 😵‍💫

[earnest olive]

it's more doable than you think

[tight elbow]

if my budget is off, it's because I lack the experience doing this. I don't need top of the line, just sufficient for my needs. I won't be doing anything other than gaming

[earnest olive]

$800 is 6650xt territory

[tight elbow]

if it's not possible, I'm open to shopping around for parts and/or buying refurbished

[earnest olive]

if you can increase your budget, I would recommend it, but if $800 is what you can afford you can still get a decent experience with it

it's just at that part of the curve where performance gains are still quite large per dollar invested

[tight elbow]

what is the minimum investment before you start to see diminishing returns, based on my needs?

[earnest olive]

probably around $1300 tbh if you're open to used graphics cards (around used 3080 range)

so about double the performance of an all new $750 6650xt pc

[tight elbow]

I can adapt my budget. wasn't sure what it would require. would like to do it right, but have no need for extras

[earnest olive]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yRH3PX

here's an example

[dusty cedar]

the 3080 i juxst bought i got at a good deal considering the cost of all the others and it works great.

[earnest olive]

gonna be an ugly lad but it'll crank out frames for cheap

[tight elbow]

Thank you, I appreciate your time

[earnest olive]

fs

[tight elbow]

Would the parts list be the same with the 3080?

[dusty cedar]

3080 is expensive. its like 200 or more over your budget or right at the full amount of your budget, not including tax. depending which you get.

[tight elbow]

ok, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that it would be around $1300 for a build using the 3080

[dusty cedar]

you can build a pc for cheap. the bulk of your expense is going to be the graphics card

[tight elbow]

does it make more sense to start with the gpu?

when building from scratch?

[dusty cedar]

this is the cheapest 3080 you can get thats brand new that i was able to find when i bought mine.

[mossy venture]

Do you know the specs of your existing computer?

might be able to re use some of it

[tight elbow]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz AMD Radeon HD 7500 8 GB RAM

[mossy venture]

ahh

yeah...

probably not much to reuse

do you know the model of the power supply and case?

[tight elbow]

trying to locate it

[dusty cedar]

you wont find it in windows. you gotta open it up and look at it and the wattage of your power supply

[mossy venture]

well, wattage and model

it says it on the side of the psu

[tight elbow]

gotcha. this is a dinosaur. I'll check that tonight, but figured I would have to start from scratch with everything

[mossy venture]

you most likely will, but can't hurt to check

rather make sure than possibly get rid of a useful part

[tight elbow]

thank you for taking the time to help

[mossy venture]

anytime

[dusty cedar]

if you can reuse your power supply it'll save you a couple hundred

[mossy venture]

????

what

[dusty cedar]

what do you mean what?

[mossy venture]

a power supply is $100 for an A tier 750, $130 for an 850, 150 for a 1000

not hundreds

[dusty cedar]

if he can reuse the power supply then he wont have to buy a new one.

[mossy venture]

A tier 750 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6JFbt6/corsair-rm750e-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020248-na

[dusty cedar]

the fact thats in stock annoys me because it wasn't in stock when i was looking at them

i paid 130 for mine and thats before tax

[mossy venture]

I got my rmx 650 for $65 iirc

and my gt 850 for $50

(and my bq 750 for $150, but I didn't know anything about pcs when I bought that and got lied to by a local pc shop)

[leaden mauve]

i got my rm850x for around 80 i think

[limber oyster]

Reservoir pump and fans arrived

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9n9Ntn

Is there anything I can cut back on or improve on?

Mostly looking for a good price to performance ratio

Would like to maintain a good look too

[earnest olive]

1300 is a very realistic price for a build with a used 3080

I recently did a build with a used 3090 for 1200

[little osprey]

Hmmmm

[earnest olive]

that wasn't addressed at you sorry

@dusty cedar @tight elbow

[little osprey]

Oh my bad

[earnest olive]

you should avoid ddr4-3600 with locked intel cpus

go for 3200

[little osprey]

Me?

[earnest olive]

yes

3600 is not guaranteed to run in gear 1 due to restrictions on system agent voltage for non-K cpus

[little osprey]

Well the kit I put in there I would only be saving $4 if I went down to 3200Mhz

[earnest olive]

and 3200 gear 1 is far superior to 3600 gear 2

[little osprey]

What if I went and did a 12600KF?

[earnest olive]

no such cpu exists

did you mean 12600KF?

[little osprey]

Yeah sorry

I'm playing War Thunder while talking to you

[earnest olive]

honestly decent option, it's pretty much the same price as the 13400f

[little osprey]

Would I be loosing much if I went with an older generation CPU and would I be able to find a cheaper and better motherboard?

[earnest olive]

13400F is basically just a 12600KF rebrand without the K

it uses alder lake silicon

so you're not really getting an older generation chip

[little osprey]

Alright, what about a motherboard, should I stick with what I have in the list or go with something else?

[earnest olive]

you could go b660/z690 with no issue

[little osprey]

Does this come with wifi?

[mossy venture]

no

[little osprey]

Hmmmm

One sec

[little osprey]

Either of these?

[mossy venture]

also no

look for wifi, ax or ac in the name

of none of those are there it doesnt

[little osprey]

Oh, that helps

Are Z690 boards gonna be cheaper or B660M's?

[mossy venture]

depends on sales

[south cliff]

usually not

[little osprey]

Is solid for the price?

This is $140, I spent $120 on my DS3H

[mossy venture]

meh

b760 ds3h ax is cheaper, im not sure how the vrms compare

[little osprey]

This was my initial plan for the 13400F

But I'm thinking this

@stoic island

[little osprey]

@mossy venture, are there any other boards that have the heatsink and have wifi that would be cheaper?

Actually, mr1111 mentioned this

[ornate solstice]

okay i have a task that i shall give to someone who wants to

i would like 3 separate build with different budgets
$900
$1200
$2000

[little osprey]

What for though?

Gaming, steaming, editing?

[ornate solstice]

gaming

[little osprey]

All brand new parts?

[ornate solstice]

the 900 for gaming the other two gaming and streaming

brand new

[little osprey]

Hmmmm, someone might have to help you with that

I'm only working on my second build 😓

[ornate solstice]

you’re good man i’m doing it for a group of friends those were there budgets

they can go $100 over their budgets but would prefer not to

[little osprey]

Nah I can understand, saving where you can is preferred

[hollow steeple]

what is the best gpu the asus b450 m motherboard can support

[earnest olive]

either the rtx 4090 or the rtx 6000 ada depending on your definition of best

(motherboard is usually not a significant limiting factor in gpu choice)

[strong raft]

I highly suggest 12400(F) instead which is only 100-200mhz lower but $50+ savings. That's unless the 13th gen Ecores are really put to use

[cyan ravine]

Does your monitor have a displayport

[livid yacht]

its okay i fixed it

[cyan ravine]

Oh okie

I was sleep'd

How's FSP psus ?

tier list shows it's A tier but why it is so unpopular

[lyric thistle]

They tend to be good from what I hear

My Lenovo OEM PSU was FSP and it died af 5 years in tho so idk

[ornate condor]

[regal shard]

Nvidia RTX 4090ti super
Intel i9 139000KS3D

[gentle pollen]

How hard would it be to transfer my current computer into a new case with a new cooler and fans?

Considering doing it for the funzies.

[jagged ember]

Cables.

That's the only big issue lol

Are you willing to refigure out a good way to route those cables?

[gentle pollen]

Mhmm, I never did a PC from scratch before so this would be interesting and I would get a hell of a show piece out of it so why not.

xD my current system is gonna like tiny inside the Fractal Torrent.

[potent portal]

Almost anything looks tiny inside the Torrent

A 4090 looks practically average sized

[jagged ember]

The torrent is positively massive

A real chonker

[prime osprey]

is 3 inches average?

[gentle pollen]

Yeah lmao.

[potent portal]

I had to mod my desk just to fit it under my desk

[gentle pollen]

Currently saving up for the Mobo then gonna get the CPU for my PC upgrade.

All goes well if I win the eSports tournament I am partaking in tomorrow I will have enough to pay for my PC upgrade.

[potent portal]

A 3 inch thick GPU? No that would be above average

[jagged ember]

I feel a that's what she said joke somewhere

[obsidian wigeon]

lmao

[prime osprey]

nah like in girth

[obsidian wigeon]

that's thickness of the gpu yes

3 inch is above average for gpus

a 3 inch long gpu however is small

tiny actually

[prime osprey]

nah im meaning for the heat pipes

[potent portal]

That would be a very thick and very ineffective heat pipe

[obsidian wigeon]

^

A vapor chamber on the other hand, that would be about right

anyone know how to fix windows screen saver? i have it set to 1 min and its not turning on. i've restarted my pc 5 times today and did a full reboot. gone through all settings, logged in and out of microsoft, checked drivers, ect. and still nothing.

ive gone through this entire list
https://windowsreport.com/windows-11-screensaver-not-working/

[potent portal]

Wait I just realized... That board doesn't even have flashback so they'll have to update bios before installing the 13100 anyway

Just get a 12100

It only gets worse the more you think about it...

[dusty cedar]

no one knows?

[potent portal]

Sadly that's one of many things M$ has broken. My computer doesn't even sleep, shut down, or restart any more, I have to go into the advanced boot menu to shut down.
Pretty much everything I would suggest is on that page.

Well, everything short of a PC reset

Hello everyone, I am a new PC builder and I put together a parts list after doing some research. I was hoping someone could confirm that 1. All parts are compatible 2. If I'm missing anything that is needed. Thanks for shedding light I'll post the components next

[obsidian wigeon]

What's your budget for the whole pc?

Do you need peripherals too? I can help you make a list

[ashen oracle]

CPU: I5 13400f

Mobo: Asrock b760m pro rs

Ram: 2x 8 gb ddr4 3200
GXS CRD: 51Risc AMD Radeon RX 580 DirectX 12 RX580 8G

Case: Thermaltake S100 Tempered Glass Black Edition Micro-ATX

PSU: CORSAIR CX-M CX650M 650w

Memory: Team Group MP33 M.2 2280 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.3 d

Sorry for delay had a meeting

[ashen oracle]

Thanks foxy! Yes please. My budget is sub 700 with a little wiggle room

[obsidian wigeon]

PC only?

[ashen oracle]

Everything I posted is 650 currently

Yes I have everything else

All peripherals

[obsidian wigeon]

Also I would say the parts list is pretty flawed. I'll put together something better for you in a bit

[ashen oracle]

Ok TY. @obsidian wigeon

I do mostly office work. Not really gaming but I want graphics card for multiple ports and less lag because of displays. Thank you for you input

[obsidian wigeon]

@ashen oracle https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XzGb3y

You can bump ssd down to 512 gigs variant to save money

[ashen oracle]

This looks good. This is better than what I had ? Also do I need to do something with the bios?

[south cliff]

My 2nd pc just started randomly doing vga cpu dram

And I tried taking out the cpu putting it back in ram

And the cpu cooler just turns off

[earnest olive]

wouldn’t recommend this board

lacks bios flashback, would be a gamble

[obsidian wigeon]

hm right

im too tired lol

it's 3am

[earnest olive]

rx 6650xt would offer you over double the performance of the rx 580

[stoic island]

Although depending on office work it really might not matter

[south cliff]

When I take ram out the cpu fan doesn’t turn off and it just shows dram light

Both ram sticks

[earnest olive]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t6ddLs

ah I didn’t see it was for office work

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w2nyhk

I’d suggest this

drives 3 displays (2 displayport, 1 hdmi) without a graphics card

case is whatever really

@ashen oracle

[stoic island]

Could grab a gt710 or similar

[earnest olive]

can even get the 12100 to drive 4 displays with a different board

but may have to have some older connectors involved

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QDytZw

here’s a board that’ll do 4 displays off of igpu but with some older connectors

[little osprey]

will the U12S be enough for a 7700x in a open air case

[ashen oracle]

Thanks this is good information. I'm a little overwhelmed though. So i wouldn't benefit from a newer processor i5 13400f? I don't mind the extra$ also, no GFX card. I thought that helps take stress off CPU? And that MOBO, does it have wifi? I kinda wanted the wifi. My original setup, what was off? Sorry for 101question I just wanna make sure I get it right

[earnest olive]

it does have wifi 6

modern i3s have gotten a lot more powerful

you won’t need better for office work

running many monitors off of igpu doesn’t cause any significant “stress” to the cpu

if you don’t mind paying more for fun then go ahead and buy an i5, but the i3 will already be overkill for anything that can really be called just office work

you’d be better off investing in more storage, better cooler for quiet, or whatever

you only need a graphics card if you need more than 3-4 monitors

i5-13400f doesn't have integrated graphics, so that would force you to buy a graphics card that wouldn't really benefit you

you'd be looking at non-F cpus to have integrated graphics

buying a graphics card would really just inflate your power bill as they're a lot less power efficient compared to integrated graphics

also another point of failure, the rx 580 you wanted to buy is 7 years old

[bold turret]

Looking for a blender build this what i came up with let me know suggestions
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/3ynyhk

[ashen oracle]

Thanks for the info, I will take that all into account. I appreciate the help and I will mor than likely go this route. Thanks for the time

[earnest olive]

np, good luck

[ashen oracle]

@earnest olive one more thing, what else would you suggest to totally complete this build top to bottom or is that all there? Do I need fans? Is AIO cooler necessary?

Anything at all

[earnest olive]

no, get a cheap air cooler if you want, aio is overkill

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j8Vm9r

[ashen oracle]

Ok I'm going to order this stuff right now

[earnest olive]

upgraded cooler is already optional, stock cooler is good enough

[ashen oracle]

I C

Ohh! You mentioned extra memory which one? How much?

I basically run zoom with anywhere from 10 to 15 internet pages up that I have to move through for the client to see along with a Google presentation. That's what I use it mainly for and some video editing.

[stoic island]

32gb should be enough to start, if you do a significant amount of video editing, you can upgrade the CPU in the list to a 12400

[dim forge]

hey guys, the copper thing on my 12100F has a little dark spot, like its stained

should I have any concern

[paper summit]

Send a pic

[dim forge]

1 sec

it's on the cooler

not the cpu itself

It’s tiny

Like it’s scratched

[weary galleon]

I wouldn't be too concerned. Try wiping it off (only the little dark bits) and maybe use your own thermal paste if you have it

I'm guessing it's leftover from whatever process they used to make the rest of the cooler black

[dim forge]

the cpu is good tho

no scratches or weird things

[stoic island]

Don't be too concerned

[sinful prawn]

Guys guys the parts came in

And they are soo pretty

Sooooooo pretty

I don’t have a gpu or psu that matches yet, but I will soon

[south cliff]

Can someone help my second pc goes to vga,cpu,dram and just keeps on doing it

Reseated cpu

and took out ram

And put it back in

Nothing works

But with no ram at all it just does the dram light

Looking for recommendations for a 1440p gaming monitor. 144hz or above. Budget around 350CAD, but I can go a bit over if you can convince me.

Does the CPU have integrated graphics? Try without the GPU if it does, or if it doesn't try another GPU or another slot

[merry spindle]

This is perfect. Thanks.

[south cliff]

I did it’s a ryzen 7 3700 pro

[south cliff]

Nothing still

I’m goi g to see if I have one of those speaker things

[hollow steeple]

if you upgrade m.2s but the board only has 1 m.2 slot how do you transfer the data

[azure briar]

3rd drive i believe

[heady kayak]

use an NVMe SSD enclosure

[dusty cedar]

this msi center program is starting to annoy tf outta me

[heady kayak]

they’re relatively cheap on Amazon

[azure briar]

do those connect to sata or usb?

[heady kayak]

USB

[runic spruce]

Can someone make me like the best pc for 2k in pcpp?

Like high res and high settings gaming no rtx

[potent portal]

Including monitor and peripherals or just the PC?

USA?

[runic spruce]

Just the pc and USA

[potent portal]

Need any extras like wifi?

Could probably change a few things like case, RAM, and PSU but there's a rough idea

7900XTX is roughly equal to the 4080 for $200 less

[runic spruce]

Thanks

[runic spruce]

No, just read it

[cyan ravine]

Yea I'd go 750W then an LS520 if those are still $100

Good list tho

[fossil cedar]

I'd get the phanteks g360a unless they don't want rgb fans or something

[dim forge]

Guys I'm ordering my pc case, which one would you buy (all of em are xpg )

1. Valor air (4 fans no rgb)
2. Starker air (1 rgb fan)
3. Invader (1 fan no rgb)
4. Defender (3 fans no rgb)

price is around the same ($60-80)

I'd buy the 360a if it was available in my country but it isn't

[cyan ravine]

Starker air

I nearly bought one

[dim forge]

thanks

I was considering that one and the invader

Cougar had some options but...

[cyan ravine]

Cougar has a new decent case

Forgot the name

[dim forge]

I can buy mx430 air or white duoface

but the duoface only supports x2 140mm on front

[cyan ravine]

Archon is what I'm thinking of

If mx330-g air is like, 50 I'd consider it over starker air

Archon I'd probably take over starker tho

Mesh version obv

[dim forge]

That one I can buy too, but reviews said fans aren't pwm

the archon mesh

[cyan ravine]

Yeah they're sata

But you get a full set and a good case

So that's the trade-off

[dim forge]

hmm that's true

[cyan ravine]

Starker air is a bit nicer but shorter and not as great airflow

It's from like, the earlier airflow days where printed patterns and colour were still trendy

[dim forge]

well my setup won't heat much tho, it's an i3 and a 2060

[cyan ravine]

Even still, it's worth noting for something more useful down the line

[dim forge]

would it still be fine if I upgrade the cpu/gpu later?

like idk, a 13600k and a 3060ti for example

[cyan ravine]

I say there isn't such a thing as futureproofing, but a good box definitely goes a long way

Yeah for sure

[dim forge]

okayyy

I'll order it then

and hope they still have the tuf psu on stock

[cyan ravine]

Both are decent but imo I'd probably go archon

[dim forge]

otherwise i'll have to buy another one

[cyan ravine]

If you prefer the starker look then sure but that case is def short

Big GPUs won't fit

[dim forge]

short as in airflow short? or short short

[dim forge]

oh

[cyan ravine]

Ye

It's in that size where like, 300mm gpus are about as big as it gets

Before you need to make weird compromises

Like slim fans or no fans in the front kekw

[dim forge]

huh

well, thanks for the help 🙂

[cyan ravine]

Hmm guess this one is a bit longer than 220t

320 fits before weirdness

Biggest would be a 3090 strix or a 4090 suprim liquid in a starker air probably

Founders maybe

But founders have the flowthrough design

[dim forge]

I'll buy an exhaust fan tho

[dim forge]

the tuf is out of stock

[fathom mesa]

currently have a i5 9400f looking to upgrade what should i get on a 300$ budget

^looking to go amd

[fossil cedar]

You in the us?

[fathom mesa]

yea

will be paired with a 2060

i just want a better cpu because i mostly only play valorant

[stoic island]

Going current gen AMD is probably going to be impossible for 300$, since ddr5 only, what ram do you have now?

[turbid skiff]

Hey I'm really new to pc building and I'm installing a Deepcool ag620 argb. I'm a bit confused on how the wiring works so could someone walk me through that

[stoic island]

To start, you'll want to differentiate between 4 pin pwm and 3 pin argb.

For the 2x 4 pin pwm connectors from the 2 fans, there is a splitter from the box, connect each connector from the fan into the splitter, and the other end of the splitter into cpu_fan on your motherboard

For the 3 pin argb, it's daisychainned, so you plug the connector from one fan into the other fan, and from the other fan into the motherboard. The header goes by many names, a_rgb, d_rgb, you might need to consult your manual, the important thing is that the header has to be only 3 pins, 4 pin rgb is completely different and incompatible.

[fossil cedar]

What's your current ram btw?

[turbid skiff]

Okay that's a huge help thank you

I'll update you if I get everything plugged properly

So I plug the daisy chained 3 pin thing into this?

[hasty cove]

anyone know why for no reason my pc wants to run roblox at a max of 28 fps ;-;

[stoic island]

Yes

[turbid skiff]

Alright thanks you

[proven salmon]

Hay anyone know we’re I can get a side glass panel for the Corsair 4000d airflow

[stoic island]

With or without a fps unlocker

[stoic island]

Best to contact Corsair support for one, looked like they were out of stock on their store

[dim forge]

I hate this, the shop that has the psu in stock, does not have the case I want in stock

and the shop that has the case, does not have the psu!

how bad is tthat xpg valor air?

[stoic island]

Reminds me of 275r airflow, which is okay

Why not buy one thing from each shop?

[strong raft]

On Intel side, could glance at 12400(F) & mobo maybe b660m aorus pro. AX after the name would mean wifi btw.

[hasty cove]

Both

[little osprey]

is a viewsonic omni 1440p 144hz IPS panel monitor good for $130

[gentle pollen]

I recommend asking in #old-monitors-and-tv

[little osprey]

oh sry

[gentle pollen]

Your good.

Just trying to help.

[warm crescent]

Can one of y’all put together a build?

[verbal plover]

Took like 3 weeks for them to send a singular fan, all the way from china. finally comes today and its faulty 😭 (99% sure its the fan, tried bunch of diff connectors and it always flickers with random rgb colors) Sadge

Lmk if that looks like something that can be fixed

When I set all the fans rgb to off, it goes off like the rest but it still flickers random colors

[heavy atlas]

looks dope

[gentle pollen]

Use case, budget, and region.

[warm crescent]

Yea 1500 US

[runic spruce]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YFFHcb

I’m pretty sure the gpu and cpu aren’t the best balance for the budget

But u can just change it and I didn’t put a case but I’d get an airflow one

[runic spruce]

U could downgrade the cpu and change the mobo for a better gpu

[frigid night]

ispy in build pics

so like.. buy used.. if doesn't work or breaks.. return..get new one?

🙂

noice

[dusty cedar]

?

[runic spruce]

Shouldn’t u just downgrade the cpu to a non k?

[earnest olive]

13400/f isn't a meaningful bottleneck for a 6900xt

so i would recommend it yeah

did a similar-ish build with a 13400f + b660 + 3090 recently, was perfect

[runic spruce]

I use à 10700k and a 3090 at 1080p lol

It’s doe fine without much bottle neck so I think it’ll be fine

[earnest olive]

that's probably a pretty significant bottleneck in some games

depends on the game though

[runic spruce]

It does in the games that aren’t really graphic

But I usally turn on the graphics to max on all of my games

[runic spruce]

But I get like 500 fps in overwatch, kinda pointless tho

[earnest olive]

13400f is a much stronger gaming cpu than 10700K so won't be an issue
