[dark island]

And like the i5 13600k is over 400 dollars

And that’s pretty expensive

And don’t lemme get started on the z790 prices 😅

[upper condor]

12600KF is only a little bit extra AFAIK, mainly comes down to the case and cooling

[dark island]

Also the z590 montherboard had an insane deal I got it for 130 dollars

[upper condor]

But if it's what you'd like then that's fine ofc

[dark island]

But I upgrade it I’m gonna also have to upgrade the motherboard while is also a pain in the ass

[upper condor]

If you got a different cooler/case you could probably fit it in but it's all up to you

Again I don't wanna like say anything since I'm not super knowledgable besides high end parts that I've used personally

[dark island]

Ok

Thx for ur time man I appreciate it

[upper condor]

If you wait a bit in here someone more knowledgeable will probably come in and help

[dark island]

Who

[upper condor]

I know theres people who can make some insanely good builds for budgets

[upper condor]

Someone'll come by

[dark island]

Already got most of the stuff 😅

[dark island]

Alr

[upper condor]

arrived or just ordered?

[dark island]

Arrived

It’s js the cpu on the way

I got it for 215 dollard

[leaden raft]

bruh

when i was picking my psu people thought i was fine but now some ppl are thinking im getting power throttled

[cyan ravine]

That's...not a thing

Send cpu gpu and psu

Specs

[leaden raft]

ryzen 9 5950x gpu 3070ti 750w lianli

[cyan ravine]

Lian li sp750?

[south cliff]

750 should be fine

[leaden raft]

ye

[cyan ravine]

No way would you be using too much

Not even close

What's throttling?

[south cliff]

It might get 500 watts

[leaden raft]

idk, my frames have been really awful ever since i switched psu and ive tried so much and my latest thing i went in a discord and the guy thought 750 was not enough for that build

he was saying theres draw for the monitors and a 5950 and 3070ti are drawin -455w on their own

[cyan ravine]

Monitors have nothing to do with the psu

Monitors have their own psu and plug

It's totally fine power wise

So frames have been awful, hm, was there anything else you did when you switched psu?

You made sure the cables were the right way around and correct?

[leaden raft]

455 w = 290 w gpu + 65 w for hdmi,hdmi and dp connectors and 105 w for the cpu - oh sry forgot 5w then even ~460 ^^

this was his math

[leaden raft]

yup

and ive been monitoring temps and what not too

MAYBE it could be an adapter for the hdmi or something but i tried to confirm they were rated for that stuff

[cyan ravine]

Power for hdmi lolwut

No such thing as power over hdmi

Not like this

It's more like

290W GPU + transients of gpu (290x0.6)+ 105W+130W PBO

Transients get ignored 99% of the time so it's really just, 290+235+maybe hard drive, ssd and lights on 3.3/5v rails

So 525W + maybe 60W system power

Still wayyyy under 750W

And those are just ballpark numbers

Real numbers will be lower

Unless you slam the whole system regularly with stress-test like scenarios (you won't)

[leaden raft]

i dont even overclock

i dont have any harddrives

[cyan ravine]

Didn't factor any overclocking in

[leaden raft]

i have two nvme

i have an aio which has 3 fans

[cyan ravine]

PSU's don't throttle they keep drawing until they hard switch off

You'll turn off if you're drawing too much power

No

[leaden raft]

darn so then its not my psu

[cyan ravine]

Yes

[leaden raft]

weird

[cyan ravine]

It's not

[leaden raft]

idk what could be causing frame issues like this

[cyan ravine]

However

however

[leaden raft]

i like to think im not inept but

[cyan ravine]

Bare with me a sec

A faulty psu could potentially cause issues like this

Have you tried switching back the psu's

[leaden raft]

i have some serious coil whien

whine*

but i heard that was standard of sfx 750 lianli

[cyan ravine]

You didn't reuse the old psu cables yeah?

[leaden raft]

dont think so

[cyan ravine]

Try swapping the psus back using the cables they came with

And see if it goes away

If it doesn't it's not the psu

[leaden raft]

darn thats a lot of work

[cyan ravine]

Yeah man, if you're suspicious it's the psu tho that's what it entails

[leaden raft]

i have to take apart my whole build to get to anything, just frustrating

[cyan ravine]

I can't exactly rule it out either tho cos I had a faulty psu once that behaved like this

[leaden raft]

i gotcha

[cyan ravine]

Very hitchy, terrible performance, it also took out hardware with it

[leaden raft]

i try to watch things and the only thing i can see when stuff goes bad is a spike in ram but it only hits like 40% which i dont think is insane for all i have going on

[cyan ravine]

Other things it could be are windows updates or new vga drivers

[leaden raft]

my storage is kinda funky rn too

[cyan ravine]

Nvidia drivers I regularly clean out with DDU as they cause more inevitable problems than they fix on any of my systems

[leaden raft]

i should probably just clean resest everything before taking apart my pc and putting it back together

whats DDU?

[jolly river]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[cyan ravine]

This^

[leaden raft]

ty

[cyan ravine]

You could also try a separate windows install as well (don't delete the old one) to see if it runs better stock

[fossil cedar]

I'll ddu you in a minute

[cyan ravine]

Cos then you can tally it up to drivers

[cyan ravine]

Hey that's my line

I'll line u in a minute

[fossil cedar]

Get uno reversed

[leaden raft]

im just thinking cuz i think i have some stuff downloaded twice

[cyan ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-anime-omg-wtf-cant-unsee-gif-5159766

[leaden raft]

idk if that would cause my issues but

[cyan ravine]

Just a case of going through the possibilities

What changed around then/changed since?

That might lead you to the answer

[leaden raft]

i put my pc into a new case-->new motherboard

no issues

i changed the psu and added a storage-->didnt seem like there were issues

havent changed anything in over a month-->issues

[cyan ravine]

You did all that same time?

[leaden raft]

no

new case and motherboard was like new years

and then psu and storage was a month and a half later

[cyan ravine]

Did you carry over the same install

[leaden raft]

and then the problems started like 2 weeks ago

yes

[cyan ravine]

Ah

From what system

[leaden raft]

i honestly might have 2 installs on the two drives

im not exactly sure

cuz i had 2 pcs

and one nvme was in each

and i put them both in this pc

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[leaden raft]

but i thought i had windows for one of them on an ssd not the nvme

im 99% sure

[cyan ravine]

What were both systems running

Cpu

[leaden raft]

5950x

for both

[cyan ravine]

Did those carry over old installs or nah

[leaden raft]

what?

[cyan ravine]

I'm tryna know if you used either of these windows on like, older intel or maybe really old amd systems

[leaden raft]

should i fresh install windows since new motherboard?

oh nah

[cyan ravine]

Then you're likely fine windows wise tbh unless you didn't do chipset drivers

[leaden raft]

the 5950x that im using rn with my current motherboard I installed windows on another amd board from the same generation just a 550f instaead of 570i

[leaden raft]

did

[cyan ravine]

Likely perfectly fine windows wise unless something else is in play

Try ddu

[distant musk]

Anything I should change? (Power supply is a Enermax 750w)

[coarse grail]

So I’m looking at 13th gen motherboards should most have an updated bios

[earnest olive]

if it's 700 series, it will work with 13th gen out of the box guaranteed

[earnest olive]

you have an 8gb rx 570?

absolutely not

don't do that

[mossy venture]

^

[earnest olive]

a significant amount of performance

[surreal basalt]

You can undervolt ur current gpu

[earnest olive]

absolutely zero video encoding

and if you have a pcie 3.0 system

a LOT more performance

[surreal basalt]

Buying a new gpu will defeat the whole purpose of saving money on the powerbill

Probably idk

But its something

How tf is it that expensive

Running a pc with a 570

[potent portal]

That's not even close to how much you'd be saving

[surreal basalt]

^

[potent portal]

Unless that's running at 100% 24/7

[surreal basalt]

My pc running for 8hours at MAX load with a 3080 costs less than 30 cents

I’m Canadian tho

[potent portal]

How much per kWh

Because you're saving less than 1 kWh per day

[earnest olive]

300 euros a month? doubt your rx 570 is a big part of that

used to pay $200/month running the equivalent of 7x rx 570 tdp 24/7 mining

then I got solar and it became $0/month

[fossil cedar]

You can guesstimate by just googling the standard rate in your country

If you're gaming the difference between like a 3060 and 3090 are like maybe €20 extra a year if that

[earnest olive]

I live in cali, heating is not necessary

[untold vessel]

Everyone, what is the best 240hz+, any Resolution, 1ms/0.5ms Response Time monitor for $150-$300 that we can get right now?

---I saw @mossy venture's recommendation in #tech-deals for $149.99, but couldn't find any more information for that model on Rtings.com. I like to do extensive research & study real-life testing, so stats "on the box" aren't necessarily perfect unless real-life testing can be shown.

---I additionally found this monitor on Rtings.com, https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/viewsonic/xg2431. It was the best recommended, but was very close to the $300 budget maximum, being $279.99 + Tax.

---Additionally, on the building side of things, which PC Hardware is an absolute must to support this kind of monitor output? Current Use case for this particular question is an i5-12600K + EVGA 3060 + 32 GB of 3200mhz CL16 RAM. Is this more than enough to run even the heaviest of Competitive eSport titles? (For the budget, we're most likely looking at 1080p performance)

TL;DR: Looking for the best 240Hz monitor for Hyper-Completive eSports titles. I am currently also looking at other important stats, such as 0.5ms / 0.3ms response times as valuble too. Budget: $150-$300, good deals/lower prices preferred if the cost-to-benefit ratio is > than higher priced cost-to-benefit ratios.

[earnest olive]

winter is like 10c

I moved to an even warmer part of cali for school

now winter nights are like 14c

ah yes

europeans would not survive the summer

nah, 50c is perfectly reasonable

[potent portal]

We just got our first hurricane too

No $4 lol

[earnest olive]

ehh no

strawberries can be found for like $5/kg sometimes

depends

[potent portal]

It's the off season right now, they go down to $1 later

[earnest olive]

now what's minimum wage

works out to $2640/month in cali

so the $4 strawberries are relatively cheaper

absolute cost of living is really high though yeah

my old 2 bedroom apartment was 3250/month

[potent portal]

SoCal is like that yep

NorCal you're still looking at $2k median for a 2 bedroom

[earnest olive]

(that was in norcal)

[potent portal]

Bay Area then?

[earnest olive]

yeah

[potent portal]

Everyone wants to live there for some reason so it gets really expensive

[gentle pollen]

Which ram kit is better, keeping in mind the die as I'd like to be able to OC the kit a fair bit.

https://www.amazon.cn/dp/B0C1TL9CT9/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=HDGBGALH574J&keywords=DDR5+64GB+6400&qid=1681934831&sprefix=ddr5+64gb+6400%2Caps%2C401&sr=8-5

[potent portal]

You don't need to triple post, it makes it hard to keep track of what's been said

[gentle pollen]

My bad.

[earnest olive]

amazon.cn?

I thought you lived in mexico

[heady kayak]

on what platform?

32GB sticks aren't going to OC well.

[gentle pollen]

Moving back to China in a few months

Postponing purchase of said parts till I am back to avoid having to ship it over.

[gentle pollen]

Need the capacity for Blender.

[heady kayak]

Can you get away with 2x24GB?

those will overclock a lot better

[gentle pollen]

As for platform I am buying the x670e Tomahawk board.

[heady kayak]

neither of those sets will hit XMP

[earnest olive]

just wait a few months then

[heady kayak]

you won't even be doing 6400

[potent portal]

Not on AMD

[earnest olive]

don’t bother thinking about what to buy now

[heady kayak]

lmao I didn't realize they were running AM5

[earnest olive]

the market will be different in a few months

[gentle pollen]

I like to know things in advance and keep and eye on pricing.

[heady kayak]

I would buy a 2x32GB 6000 kit.

[gentle pollen]

Would cost me about the same from what've seen so far.

[potent portal]

Yeah 6000 is about the most you could expect from it but he'll be manually overclocking anyway

[heady kayak]

I wouldn't expect 6400

[gentle pollen]

Ik.

[heady kayak]

fair

I'd only consider 6000 because it'll work out of the box

[earnest olive]

there’s some value in having an xmp profile that you can expect to work even if you’re planning to manual ram oc

[potent portal]

You can make your own DDR5 profiles though

[earnest olive]

though I guess you could just turn on xmp and set 6000

kinda just nice to have a fallback like if your friends wanna game but your ram oc is still in progress

[potent portal]

Yeah you can program your own XMP timings into DDR5 to do just that

[earnest olive]

that’s neat

[heady kayak]

sure, but that's extra work

why not buy something that works out of the box?

[potent portal]

Not a lot of extra work tbh

[earnest olive]

buy a-die kits and rewrite their xmp to sell for more money

[gentle pollen]

Worst case I don't mind hopping off games for a day or two to get the timings stable.

[potent portal]

Just copy/paste

[gentle pollen]

0.o

[earnest olive]

I’ve been messing with my ram for months

[potent portal]

It's not quite that simple, there's 5 slots for profiles similar to how DDR4 had 3 (but only ever used 2).
3 slots are reserved for the manufacturer for the rated XMP/EXPO profiles.
2 slots are user programmable.

[earnest olive]

does it let you save all subtimings too?

[potent portal]

Not all of them but some

[earnest olive]

😦

[potent portal]

It's really nice for if you're tuning your tertiaries and you bork it, needing to clear cmos and start over

Load your user profile and you didn't lose much

[earnest olive]

I need to get my hands on some ddr5

still ddr4 coper

[potent portal]

Picked a random kingston memory page, says this

Here's what you can program in a XMP profile

[earnest olive]

at least they got some of the more important ones

but why did they include tRFC2 and tRFC4 😭

[potent portal]

It's part of the spec, even if it's an unused part

Just like resizable BAR was an unused part of the PCIe spec for a long time

[earnest olive]

they could have put tREFI and tCWL there smh

[south cliff]

What is a good monitor around like the 130-160 dollar range for a ps5

[paper summit]

@runic spruce THATS MY PICTURE

LMAOOO

[runic spruce]

Ig i saved it back in October lmao

I was looking for an old picture and thought it looked cool so I posted

[paper summit]

series s up in there

[runic spruce]

How was the performance on that fine graphics card of yours

[paper summit]

lmaooo

[tawny fiber]

Soo a friend wants to sell a 3060ti

What should the sell price be like

I don't think it will be possible to sell for 350$ given how the thing only has 8gb

[obsidian wigeon]

350 is doable

[cyan ravine]

I doubt you'd get 350 cos 3070's go for 300

Unless you got lucky by like fbmp

[vague oracle]

I just sold a 2080 super for almost $300 lmao

[south cliff]

i dont think 350 would sell fast he would have to wait

[obsidian wolf]

I saw one for 615$

the rog strix one

though

[south cliff]

scam

[earnest olive]

that's a fair price

in general 3060tis are still going for 300-325 rn

3070s still 350-375

[vague oracle]

Really? I’ve seen 2080 supers go for around $200ish on eBay

[earnest olive]

I'm seeing 260-400 + tax

on ebay

what platform did you sell on?

[fossil cedar]

400 for a 2080 super in mid 2023 pfft

[vague oracle]

In person

Well technically RPI buy/sell discord

[earnest olive]

I mean it's ebay

[earnest olive]

well, ~280 is pretty in line with HWS prices

and on the absolute lowest end of ebay prices

[vague oracle]

Ahh ok, so I gave him a decent price then

I kinda just pulled $300 out of my ass when I was offering him a price and hoped it was decent

[potent portal]

Yeah that deal was pretty balanced on both sides

[earnest olive]

if I was selling a 2080 super to a stranger 300 would be my asking price

would take an offer of 275

to a friend I guess 250 is enough

[potent portal]

What if it was me, your very best friend in the whole world?

[earnest olive]

I'd pay you $250 to take it obviously

[potent portal]

D'aww
I expected you to say "for you? $400"

[earnest olive]

as long as you're prepared to fight pato and rommy for that title

[potent portal]

I think I could take a potato but Rommy...

[potent portal]

Yes the ban hammer is mighty

[earnest olive]

pato is very powerful too

you just have to call him british to unleash his true power

[fossil cedar]

but like you can get 3060 ti's new for that price and 6700xt/6750xt for that or less smh

[earnest olive]

yeah but it's ebay

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-angry-punho-fechado-de-gif-26104429

lol didnt realise ebay was that bad in us

[earnest olive]

because the smart people are on HWS

[fossil cedar]

cries in eu

[leaden mauve]

big doubt

[earnest olive]

for gpus anyways

[tawny fiber]

How much would you guys pay for this rig

[still crystal]

12 dollars and and sloth

But if imma be real like 1300

[potent portal]

You just say that because there's never any good DDR3 there

[cerulean snow]

anyone knows if theres a $500 pre-built pc that can run boneworks?

[south cliff]

gonna need to up your budget a little if you want it to look good (the game)

[cerulean snow]

ok

[south cliff]

500 is not really a good budget for a pre built

[potent portal]

You're going to get sick from the low frame rate and resolution

[south cliff]

because you will also might install mods

[south cliff]

thats kinda how i feel on the quest 2

[cerulean snow]

ok

[south cliff]

so your gonna have to save for a little while till about 850-1000

[cerulean snow]

alright

[south cliff]

can you build your own

?

or do you want pre built

[cerulean snow]

maybe

i could build my own

[potent portal]

Recommended spec is probably a 1080 ti or 2070 to be able to hit the 90 fps most headsets can do

Or 3060/6600 XT

[south cliff]

you can get a used 6700xt for like 3000

300

in my area

[cerulean snow]

ok

[south cliff]

but just save for a little while

[cerulean snow]

i will

[still crystal]

I got a question what's the average price for a hardliners watercooled pc

Hardline*

[potent portal]

Both the CPU and GPU in the loop?

[still crystal]

Yeah

[potent portal]

It varies a lot but you can expect around $1k+ for just the loop, including all the parts, fittings, etc

You can save money in some spots by cutting corners and getting combo units and spend maybe $600-700

[still crystal]

I see

Soo say the pfp of the server

How much would that cost

[potent portal]

Easily $1200-1400 depending on options

Because RGB costs more ofc

[still crystal]

I see

And that's just the cooling alone not the entire pc

[potent portal]

Yes

[still crystal]

Yeesh

[potent portal]

It's an expensive hobby lol

[still crystal]

Okay well say I wanted to put a 4070ti and a i7 processor in it

That would be what 2grand?

[potent portal]

Total for the whole PC?

More like $2500

Unless you cut a few corners

But going for a full double rad loop like the server banner is pricy

[mossy venture]

Custom loop only really worth it if you're already buying top of the line components

"Worth it" being used loosely

[potent portal]

Yeah honestly a 4070 ti doesn't need the extra cooling

[leaden mauve]

good deals has nothing to do with smart people

there's a lot of idiots on HWS

as well as normal people lol

[potent portal]

That goes for just about everywhere lol

[leaden mauve]

more or less

[vague oracle]

Sold it for $285

That was the actual price

[runic spruce]

U should just get an aio, water cooling really isn’t that important with mid low budget parts

It’s only meant for top end parts but still the performance will be around the same in gaming and other task , it’ll only have cooler temps and higher clocks

[leaden mauve]

Aios use water?

[still crystal]

Ite thx

[runic spruce]

I meant like custom water cooling

[still crystal]

So how much would u say a prebuild of this would cost

Click the image idk why it shows the comment section

[obsidian wolf]

White actual concept that I say would be worth it

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QtyqGL

Anything white is overprice most of the time

that xtx is like 150$

over the black one u can get

you can get less ram

and make it cheaper

[leaden mauve]

that memory is not worth 350

[obsidian wolf]

Well yeah........

But again...............

White stuff

overprice

However if choose to do black without no ram rgb

and upgrades and everything black

I can make this build in a 1800$

or less

I think

Wanna see?

I will use (Deals)

😦

[runic spruce]

U can’t even see the white psu lol

[jagged ember]

350 FOR 128GB 3200 CL16??

[potent portal]

Wait what

No

No one needs 128GB unless you're doing super heavy workstation tasks like huge databases

If you want white and RGB this is fine https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZRpmP6/team-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl18-memory-tf4d432g3600hc18jdc01

[jagged ember]

Hey look reasonable priced ram

[frigid night]

an A tier 1000w PSU would be enough for this 4090 and a 13900k?

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N4090AERO-OC-24GD/sp#sp

[dusty cedar]

i would assume yes. i've already looked into it for mine when i swap to that combo and it is suggested i would need a 950w psu for the 13900k and a 4090 and i have a 3080 and a 13700k right now so. 🤷‍♂️

thats assuming i'm using exactly what i already have and only changing those 2 pieces of hardware. i would also need to up my psu to 950w minimum.

[frigid night]

gotcha.

I'm planning on getting that gpu and then selling my 3080 12gb aorus master and then grabbing the cpu. I don't think I truly need a 13900k though so I may just go for 13600k/13700k

then I'd be upgrading to ddr5

[cyan ravine]

Yes

[dusty cedar]

yeah i already got all that but i wanted to save some money so my wife wouldn't flip her shh.... at the cost. i have the funds for it but the 13700k and 3080 is fine for me for now. i dont think i would actually NEED anything more but why not

[cyan ravine]

13600K would be fine with it tbh @frigid night , you won't gain much at all between that and the i9

Just promise me you go 4K lol

[frigid night]

swheet. I just wanna start gaming at 4k.

[cyan ravine]

Epic

Yeah it'll be quite good

Hopefully the aero is like, near msrp

[dusty cedar]

they're all stupid expensive

[frigid night]

idk what msrp is for the 4090 but neweg has it listed for 1749

[cyan ravine]

I'd go suprim instead if it was similar price or better to aero

Ehh 1749 is suprim price

[dusty cedar]

maybe dropping these days now but i havent looked in a while either so

[cyan ravine]

Surpim is actually better lol

[frigid night]

is it?

[cyan ravine]

It's a steel finish tho

Yeah it is

[frigid night]

the aero seems to have almost all good stuff on it

[cyan ravine]

Suprim is unironically the 2nd best behind HoF

[dusty cedar]

its also water cooled if you cared about that aspect

[frigid night]

oh ok

[cyan ravine]

HoF is best but also 3 grand

[frigid night]

gotcha

I'll look at suprim then

[cyan ravine]

Awesome

[frigid night]

unless you know anyone that needs to get rid of one? 😉

[cyan ravine]

• looks at mine * uuhhhh

Not yet 💀

[dusty cedar]

same. you know anyone that wants to just give one away?

lol

[lyric thistle]

Whatever it is please don't give it to me

[frigid night]

it seems like the 12600k and 13600k don't have to much of a difference when it comes to gaming.

in most games

some games def have a huge jump with the 13600k

I might just skip going 13th gen and just upgrade to ddr5

[dusty cedar]

the ddr5 i got is plenty fast and is fairly cheap

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr5-sdram/p/N82E16820374328?Item=N82E16820374328 its on sale now to so theres that

100 bucks

[frigid night]

and it's white LOL

I think I'd want to go ddr5 6000 though

[dusty cedar]

yeah. i have an all white build so yeah. but you can get it in whatever color they have

[frigid night]

yeah I too have a white build

[dusty cedar]

i just got the those because it wasn't 300 bucks for 2 sticks of ram ya know

also keeps the rgb to a minimum. i wanted some but not everything needs to glow

[frigid night]

yeah I don't need RAM to glow. just a solid white is ok for me

[cyan ravine]

Reo

Ripjaws S5 5600 CL28

[frigid night]

yes my love?

[cyan ravine]

117(?)$

Will run 6000

But good auto timings

[frigid night]

~~this one?
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr5-sdram/p/N82E16820374332~~

nvm

this one
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb/p/N82E16820374402

[cyan ravine]

Ye second one

There's also teamgroup for $95

Also good hynix stuff

[frigid night]

white?

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bbJgXL/teamgroup-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl32-memory-ff4d532g5600hc32dc01

[cyan ravine]

Ye these too one sec

[frigid night]

meh rgb

[cyan ravine]

Ah no the 95$ ones are black vulcans not steel nvm

These would work too @frigid night
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9MWzK8/gskill-ripjaws-s5-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl32-memory-f5-6000j3238f16gx2-rs5w

Perform basically the same on intel

6000 might be a touch faster

[frigid night]

so If I bought the 5600cl28 and oced it to 6000.. it would proably end up at cl32 anyways?

[cyan ravine]

It'll be the same chips so same result

[frigid night]

crazy how this ddr5 is cheaper than my ddr4 ballistix LOL

[cyan ravine]

Auto training will mean they'll still run within like a couple % of each other

What's more important you get a kit that has a lot of potential to it

So you can reuse it later

[frigid night]

right soo.. the 5600 has more potential?

[cyan ravine]

Both the same

[frigid night]

right ok

[frigid night]

duh

[cyan ravine]

Going by clocking up xmp? Meh, 5600 cl28 a little bit

[frigid night]

now to find a good white mobo 😛

I might do the mobo/ddr5 first and see if the 4090 will drop a little more

[cyan ravine]

Any z790 at like near or under 200usd would be best imo

Or just roll with the z690 you have

I think there's a couple white boards that cheap

[frigid night]

but can't use ddr5

I plan on selling each of the components I'm replacing.

although.. maybe I should go for a 13th gen cpu so I can just build the old stuff in another pc and sell it that way

[cyan ravine]

Oh it's not ddr5? Ah

[frigid night]

yeah.. I finally got my taxes from last year + interest, which is what I was going to use to build my PC last year.. so now I'm just gonna use it to revamp my whole PC this year.

[frigid night]

@cyan ravine Mister Suprim X master.. I never got a vertical mount for my o11d evo.. It looks like I will need to get one. I can't remember which one you were recommending.

[cyan ravine]

don't need to for O11D evo

I currently have mine horizontal

if you were getting one get the one that Lian Li sells

specifically for the case

[frigid night]

I was checking compatibility list on Lian Li's site and it says it can fit horizontal without the nvidia adapter?

https://lian-li.com/lian-li-pc-case-4090-compatible-list/

So I'm not sure what that means then

[cyan ravine]

are you gonna use the adapter?

the stock one

[frigid night]

I think so. I have the Antec HCG Gold 1kw psu

[cyan ravine]

hm might need one then

[frigid night]

I mean, I wanted to get one any ways

[cyan ravine]

me with suprim + cablemod 12vhpwr I can use it horizontal

no angled adapter just a cable

[frigid night]

How long did it take before you got the cablemod ?

[cyan ravine]

a little while

supply is probably better now

I ordered like, before the suprim was out

[frigid night]

ah lol ok

which one? variant a or b?

I figure I'll get it ordered now

nvm. Cablemod has te compatibilty list

so it's variant a

for the 90 degree

It's only $50 more for the liquid cooled version of the suprim x

[cyan ravine]

Imo both are more than enough

I can't remember which variant yeah

[little osprey]

Yo

Looking for a GPU that supports 1080p without any drivers

Something like GT 710

But cheaper, perferably AMD to fit the theme

[paper summit]

Love old amd gpus 😭

[cyan ravine]

I love

[paper summit]

STOP, because that 6950xt deal is really REALLY tempting! 😭

[cyan ravine]

I LOVE AMD

AMD IS THE GREATEST COMPANY OF THE TRIOPOLY

[untold vessel]

In practice, is there any hardware setup currently available that could run AAA Games at 4K in 240hz? https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g8-s32bg85

[cyan ravine]

4090 can

All AAA no way

But a number of games it 100% can

[little osprey]

Are you goobers gonna stop goofing around and help me?

Otherwise take your clown license and leave 😤

[cyan ravine]

Idk what to answer

💀

[cyan ravine]

It's definitely gonna be an old card

[compact girder]

so im going back and forth with this, and can’t figure it out.

i currently have a pcie 3.0 1tb drive and i’m upgrading my mb and getting a pcie 4.0 . 2 Tb.

Would I be able to use both the pcie 3.0 and 4.0 at the same time in this motherboard

Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0,WiFi 6E, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync) https://a.co/d/hHg1quq

while pairing it with the 5800x3d

[paper summit]

OH MY GOD WOW CONGRATS YOU'RE SO SMART FELIX

[compact girder]

@cyan ravine what u think? about what I asked

[little osprey]

Yeah

PCIe generation doesn't really matter too much

[compact girder]

ok, sounds good, ty

[little osprey]

👍

[gentle pollen]

Yes, all it'll do for example is if you put a 4.0 drive in a 3.0 slot it will just run at 3.0 speeds.

[fossil cedar]

Yes but it's a very overpriced board

[lyric pivot]

Trying vertical mount a water cooled 3090 just don’t know what the best mounting piece I should get for it

[compact girder]

what do u recommend?

i got a 3080, getting the 5800x 3d

[fossil cedar]

What country you in and do you have any pcie slot requirements? WiFi etc?

Honestly i wouldn't get the 5800x3d these days unless the price has dropped again

[compact girder]

usa, need 2+, and i need WIFI

[compact girder]

then what u think I should i look at?

preferably amazon

but Im fine with other sellers

[fossil cedar]

If you where to go 5800x3d this is probably the minimum (cooling wise anyway) I'd go
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TJVjLs
But I'd recommend this instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vtWz4s

13600kf and 5800x3d trade blows while being able to be cheaper especially after factoring in the cooler

And the z690 has 3 nvme slots

[compact girder]

i’ll look into it, i appreciate it

[fossil cedar]

No probs

[vague oracle]

[fossil cedar]

What's wrong with your 6700

[gentle pollen]

Mhmm, all goes well my ram just arrive in 3 days then it's OC time.

G.Skill Ripjaws 4000cl18

[fossil cedar]

Hmmm, have they tried diff driver versions with clean install? Verifying game file?

[paper summit]

Oh nothing just I CANT RUN ANYTHING 😭

[paper summit]

I've tried what seems like everything pato

[vague oracle]

YEEEESS

[fossil cedar]

Well if you try expand on what you've done and what's wrong i might be able to help more

[vague oracle]

Mine is literal perfection

[fossil cedar]

6950 for 600 is insane

Asrock gpus meta

[vague oracle]

OCF for $650 is crazy

And that’s not even on sale

[paper summit]

I've done what you just said I've reinstalled windows, tried dif drivers, rebuilt the pc, cleared cmos, a whole new psu,took my extensions out, ran at stock everything, reinstalled games.and put it in a whole new system.

[fossil cedar]

Have you tried a different gpu with it? Might just be a faulty psu

Gpu***

[gentle pollen]

why is it AMD seems to pretty much always be the one with gpu issues....

[paper summit]

I dont have another gpu

I will once my sisters 1070ti comes

[vague oracle]

Ngl, I had more issues with my 2080 than all 3 of my AMD cards

[gentle pollen]

oh strange.

[paper summit]

I was just gonna buy a 3080 but I've heard from people that the cards with the most issues are the 6700xt and 6600xt

So maybe 6900/6950 will be fine?

[gentle pollen]

What are you currently running?

Oh wait, 6700xt.

I mean you can always refund the gpu if it has issues so why not.

Oh.

Refund the man!

[paper summit]

Not her fault

[obsidian wolf]

6950 is lovely

Just to cheap at this point for people to skip it

And with FSR 3 coming to the 6000 series as well

I just see the 6950 as the best option tbh

[obsidian wigeon]

6950xt is probs worth it

seeing as there's little issues

[obsidian wolf]

I had minimal issues with it at the start

But it was due to the Radeom software

Ocing the card without me doing anything to it like that

Automatically

But the software notice it fast enough, since them I haven’t seen that many crashes and those crashes have been more cause on the type of games I play that are known for having a lot of them

[paper summit]

Good to know

I'll keep it in mind

Gotta catch up on fsr3

[obsidian wolf]

Trust me it will be good

6950 xt in my opinion is the best money / performance

Currently

[vague oracle]

FSR3 is coming to 6000 series?

[obsidian wolf]

One could argue a used 3090 at like 800$ is also good but meh for that you have the 4070 to with like dlss 3.0

[obsidian wolf]

Yeah

[vague oracle]

That makes me even happier about buying my 6950

[obsidian wolf]

https://www.hardwaretimes.com/amd-fsr-3-0-will-work-on-radeon-rx-6000-possibly-nvidia-rtx-gpus-as-well/amp/

[obsidian wolf]

I had mix feelings when I got it

But the more I used everyday the happier I am with my purchase

[vague oracle]

For me it was either 6950x, RTX6000 or one of the Radeon Pro cards

Went for cheapest option and I’m so happy with it

OCs like crazy and gets so much done in my CAD work

[obsidian wolf]

Nice

For me since I just game and stuff with it

For now at least I get to do stuff I couldn’t before but obviously any graphic card past the 6700xt in my case would’ve achieve that

But I don’t only look at that I also look at how much I spent for it

And how much it can actually do outside of that gaming sector

Like 600$ and 650$ for a graphic card that was the best for its generation in its respective company is crazy

[vague oracle]

I once bought a 6700xt way back when the shortage was a thing and I remember returning it because I wasn’t happy with the performance

Ended up with a 6800xt

Then warranties the 6800xt and got a 3080 12gb

Still have that 3080 but it’s back home and I was using a 2080 super here in college

Then sold the 2080 and bought the 6950

[fossil cedar]

the Nvidia fanboys never mention when they have issues

[paper summit]

So true

AHHHHH why am I so indecisive

[vague oracle]

Buy the 6950

Join me in my OC ways

[paper summit]

Hmm

[fossil cedar]

Like here's an issue i had with Nvidia ish, tensorflow 1.x requires cuda 10 but cuda 10 doesn't support 3000 series and tensorflow 2.x requires code to be rewritten

My gpu was too new to gpu accelerate the code because no support for cuda 10

[vague oracle]

Skill issue

[fossil cedar]

Clearly

[paper summit]

What cpu do u have

[vague oracle]

10700k

[paper summit]

Wait then who had the 5900x🗿

[fossil cedar]

Actually danny have you tried enabling/disabling resizeable bar?

[paper summit]

Yea

[fossil cedar]

Hmm

[vague oracle]

Technically I also have a 5900x but not in this PC

[paper summit]

Whaaaaa

Why

DO IT

We can be twins lmao

[vague oracle]

That’s in my PC back home that my dad is using

[paper summit]

Mmm ok

[vague oracle]

…I probably could convince him to give it back

[paper summit]

Well does he need 12 cores?

[vague oracle]

Kinda yeah

I also could use them too

[paper summit]

EXACTLY

[vague oracle]

Nah tho, 10700k works better for what I need this PC to do

Well half of what I need it to do

The other half a 5900x would be better…

[paper summit]

Sneak the 10700k in his pc 🗿

[vague oracle]

I think he’d notice the AIO being gone and replaced with a giant ass tower cooler

[paper summit]

LMAO

Nah man

[vague oracle]

I probably could convince him the CPU is the cause of his occasional crashes

[paper summit]

Oh nahhhh

[leaden mauve]

who doesnt

the more the merrier

[paper summit]

HONESTLY

[obsidian wolf]

Honestly I was indecisive at the start

as well due to the great marketing Nvidia has which is the main issue with AMD

"THE BEST GAMING GRAPHICS CARD" MF

I need more info and accessible faster from one eye catchy add

Not just a plain sentence telling me that is just gaming

But again Danny is all about what you are doing with your computer

gaming or work?

[frigid night]

That's because there are none.

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-gif-26414884

[atomic epoch]

help

[atomic epoch]

does a 7900 xtx really not fit in a mid atx?

[leaden mauve]

some mid-towers like yours are really shallow length-wise, so yea. some dont

[atomic epoch]

ripperoni

[leaden mauve]

😔

[flint sapphire]

North 👀

Or will it

[atomic epoch]

the internet told me this will fit it so i just ordered it

[flint sapphire]

North would barely fit it, 355mm max

[atomic epoch]

I fiddled with it for a little bit. there's no chance Ill get it in there lol

[vague oracle]

Time to get the hacksaw

[regal shard]

What are you trying to fit

[atomic epoch]

7900xtx

[regal shard]

Yeah that thing can even fit a 4090 you’ll be good

I have that case

[atomic epoch]

what how lol

[regal shard]

This is 3070 ti from zotac

317.6mm

[atomic epoch]

Ill try fitting it when i get there

for right now im having trouble getting these plastic adapters for the heat sink off the mobo

these screws will not budge

[regal shard]

Damn your build is gonna be crazy

[atomic epoch]

🙂

[regal shard]

Do you have the case rn or are u still waiting for it?

[atomic epoch]

i have it right now yes

[regal shard]

Oh yeah it’ll fit %100 the 7900xt is smaller than my gpu

[atomic epoch]

interesting thanks

[regal shard]

Np

Do you have a pc parts picker list?

[atomic epoch]

it is very close to this

soory i forgot crty v lol

[tribal crater]

What would you say is the better MB option for RGB? I had fusion and didn't like how it had basic option for a lot of things like memory, MB and RAM, and better options for fans. Is there a better option like mystic lighting or Icue? or do they all not have the same lighting options for everything? Ended up having to use Signal RGB. Like to try and simplify the next a build a little as far as the one type of RGB throughout.

[jagged ember]

Singalrgb or OpenRGB are the most simple and non bloatwaree

Everything else is bloatware or just doesn't work well

As far as I know, at least

[runic spruce]

Depends, mid atx cases aren’t all the same

They usally give u the measurements of the case online

[atomic epoch]

anyone around? I just cant find the power pins on my motherboard

[dusty cedar]

crazy cause they're huge.

[atomic epoch]

lol about that

[dusty cedar]

what power pins are you even talking about?

[atomic epoch]

to turn my system on

[obsidian wigeon]

that jumper is for clearing cmos in the manual

not booting

[dusty cedar]

its literally the thing right next to that red circle

[obsidian wigeon]

i think you're looking at the wrong side of the mobo

[dusty cedar]

to the right of it. the picture you posted is also the top right of the board

[obsidian wigeon]

^

it's bottom right

but you're looking at top right

[dusty cedar]

bottom left is your hd audio. far bottom right is power

turn your board to match the picture......

[atomic epoch]

these?

gpu is large and in the way lol

[obsidian wigeon]

that's clear cmos

but you're at the right side now

[dusty cedar]

what even is their website. the mouse tracker cant even keep up

[atomic epoch]

this is what I'm looking at

[dusty cedar]

these have got to be the most unhelpful pictures i've ever seen tbh. i'm trying to look for the user manual for that and even their website is a mess

[atomic epoch]

hats why im having trouble lmao

[dusty cedar]

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2871206/Asrock-B650m-Pg-Riptide-Wifi.html?page=10#manual

page 10

number block 15 on the board.

[atomic epoch]

ah there it be

[dusty cedar]

🥳

thats where we said it was. but there's your manual also.

[atomic epoch]

just to make sure I don't f up is it the two on the bottom right?

[dusty cedar]

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2871206/Asrock-B650m-Pg-Riptide-Wifi.html?page=32#manual

[atomic epoch]

ah gotcha ty

[dusty cedar]

any question you have or will have about your motherboard is in there. your motherboard should have also come with a manual or a link to one.

[atomic epoch]

okay another idiot question, i have the computer on but no signal to the monitor

i tried the display port and hdmi onboth the mobo and graphic card

[potent portal]

Only use the GPU ones, the mobo ones are disabled when a GPU is installed by default.
What lights are turned on? There's a set of 4 at the bottom, to the left of the USB 3.0 headers.
AM5 can take up to 15 minutes to train the memory and boot the first time, if you are unlucky and got an early bios version.

[atomic epoch]

there's these two little red ones that are under my gpu at the bottom and a few pulsating rgb above that

[atomic epoch]

cpu fans are on and the gpu is getting power but it's fans are not on

I'll let it sit for 15 minutes ot so see if that does anything

[potent portal]

Are the red ones these lights?

[atomic epoch]

right next to where it says usb 32 yes

[potent portal]

Ok, which ones are lit, Boot, VGA, DRAM, or CPU?

[atomic epoch]

to be completely honest I can't tell the gpu is in the way. if I had to guess it looks like cpu and vga

[potent portal]

CPU is bad

That's not a waiting light that's an error

If it was DRAM then it would be training and waiting

Were you using a X3D processor by chance?

[atomic epoch]

it's a 780px3d

[potent portal]

Ah that'll be it then

[atomic epoch]

7800x3d

[potent portal]

You need to update the bios

https://download.asrock.com/BIOS/AM5/B650M PG Riptide(1.20.AS01)ROM.zip

[atomic epoch]

dang I've heard that can be tough lol

[potent portal]

It's not too bad

Extract that file to a FAT32 formatted USB (doesn't have to be empty) and rename it CREATIVE.ROM

[atomic epoch]

if is actually cpu and dram what would that mean?

[potent portal]

Plug drive into the correct USB port on the back, press flash button, and wait for flashing to stop

[atomic epoch]

and could it be an external ssd yhays all I have on hand

[potent portal]

Same thing CPU isn't supported by bios

[atomic epoch]

gotcha

[potent portal]

The correct port to use will be this one probably, they made it stand out

[potent portal]

As long as there's a FAT32 partition it might still work. Some boards are picky though.

[atomic epoch]

gotcha I'll try all that. thanks

[atomic epoch]

unfortunately the light is still red 😦

[potent portal]

Did the light on the flashback button flash or turn solid green?

If it flashed, about how long was it flashing?

[atomic epoch]

it flashed for probably about 5 minutes, then turned off

[potent portal]

That's good at least

Can you tell which light is on now out of the 4? Maybe get your phone in there to take a pic/vid

[atomic epoch]

it is 1 and 3 looks like. cpu and cga

[potent portal]

Try with just 1 stick of RAM and see if that changes anything

Counting from the left the first and third lights would be "boot" and "DRAM" also

[potent portal]

Mmmm DRAM and CPU then

[dusty cedar]

does his motherboard have a digital debug code light on it or just those indicators?

[untold vessel]

Guys, what's the cheapest way to run a 4k120hz signal for 40ft? The wire is going from my PC to a 4k120Hz TV across the room. The current solutions I've found have been purchasing a 40ft 4k120Hz HDMI cord, but they're >/= to $100. Any better or cheaper options? 'Not too knowledgeable about wires.

[atomic epoch]

just those

[dusty cedar]

f

[potent portal]

The code display is a super rare feature this gen, you won't find it on a board under $300

[dusty cedar]

seriously?

[potent portal]

Sadly yes

[atomic epoch]

taking a stick out didn't help

[dusty cedar]

thats wack

[potent portal]

Ok I say try the flash again

[dusty cedar]

i thought it was standard tbh

[potent portal]

And if it still doesn't work, again, and again, and again

I've seen it take a dozen tries to get it to stick, and 3 different USB sticks

Some boards are picky like I said

Worst case you get a twin pack of cheap USB 2.0 drives for $1 with same day delivery on amazon

Slight exaggeration but still cheap https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Attaché-Flash-Drive-Black/dp/B01193UP24

[frigid night]

must be nice to have same day delivery

[cyan ravine]

the only same day delivery I get is NT-H2 everything else takes a week

[potent portal]

Well when they have to cross a thousand miles of outback to get to you that'll happen

[dusty cedar]

ever since i moved cities and states i get next day. not even same day. i hate the place i'm in now.

almost everything else through anything else is 3 day delivery

[cyan ravine]

I must live like 10 minutes from Noctua HQ lmao

[fossil cedar]

Mid atx is multiplied different sizes, trust me you don't wanna put a 7900xtx in a h510 anyway

[dark island]

Hey guys

Does anyone know if the 4070 gigabite windforce oc comes with the 16 pin or if I should buy a atx 3.0 psu

[obsidian wigeon]

Not sure, but all gpus with 16 pin comes with adapters that works with normal psus

From what I'm looking at, it seems to use traditional 8 pin

[dark island]

Yea that’s so confusing

We haven’t had smth like this since the 16 series CPU’s

Gpus *

[obsidian wigeon]

Either way you don't need to buy atx 3.0 psu

[dark island]

Nice

Thx

I appreciate it

[obsidian wigeon]

The adapters that comes with those gpus takes 8 pin

Usually one or two for 4070

[dark island]

Now I js gotta pray to god that it fits in my case

[dark island]

Yeye

[obsidian wigeon]

I mean, you can easily read case specs to verify if it fits with it

[dark island]

Cuz I got a h510 elite 😅

[dark island]

I did but still not sure

[obsidian wigeon]

It can fit 4090's

So I don't see 4070 wouldn't

Even 3 fan ones

Windforce is way below it being tight in the case

It's 261mm long

[dark island]

No way

[dark island]

No shot

Cuz i also installed a radiator so things can get abit tight

[obsidian wigeon]

It's probably fine

Might be tight but I feel it will fit

[regal shard]

How’s the rig?

[dark island]

I’ll say good so far

Thx for asking

Js need to buy the gpu and the psu

That’s why I’m asking questions

[regal shard]

What psu u getting??

[regal shard]

Np I’m just curious

[dark island]

850w NZXT

[dark island]

U good u good

[regal shard]

Yeah that’ll be plenty

[dark island]

Ye I’m js future proofing incase I upgrade anything

[dark island]

Not rlly owning

Still building one

But yes

It’s my first time

ill figure it out rn

later**

[atomic epoch]

how many times on a new build should I have to flash the bios? CPU led is still on so I'm not sure what else to do. I've switched the ram and adjusted the cpu cooler a little to see if either of those was what caused it

I've tried 3 different drives and a out 5 times each

[obsidian wigeon]

This sounds pretty unusual

Are you sure you're using the correct bios file with correct version?

The version with update on supporting X3D chips

[atomic epoch]

latest version yes

[obsidian wigeon]

Maybe latest version doesn't include the update you need

Spot the exact version that adds support for new cpus

[atomic epoch]

gotcha

interesting the lastest version deosnt say 7000 series maybe thats it

[obsidian wigeon]

Yeah

Get the 1.18 version

[atomic epoch]

unfortunately that wasn't successful either

[deep osprey]

what is a solid cpu/gpu combo for a $1100-1200 build

i was thinking a 6700xt and a i5 12400f for cpu and gpu but i don’t have much experience with stuff like that

[obsidian wigeon]

Well, then I'm gonna assume the board is having issues

Or in a very rare case, the cpu happens to be dead. That I very much doubt however

It's usually the mobo

[atomic epoch]

dang that would suck

[still crystal]

I need some advice I have a budget of 2000 and I want a 40 series at least with a decent processor Preferably a prebuilt

And this chat is dead isn't it

[atomic epoch]

IT POSTED FINALLY

[still crystal]

@atomic epoch u got any suggestions

[atomic epoch]

most likely a 4070ti

[dusty cedar]

it's not dead. also, good luck getting a prebuilt with a 40 series card for anything less than 3 to 3.5k from a store since for 2k budget their still putting a 10 series cards in them. maybe a 30 series if you're lucky.

but you can build one yourself for around that much

Or 7900xtx, same perf for cheaper

[mossy venture]

^

[strong raft]

That's solid, perhaps 6750/6800 also.

[frigid night]

@austere condor confirmed to be a paid reviewer 😉

[austere condor]

?

[frigid night]

I'm poking at your latest build

[austere condor]

ah

yeah. i dont review stuff

i just do photos

[atomic epoch]

okay new idiot question, I have posted and then turned evrything off and added my GPU

the display port signal is still coming from my motherboard now and i see the GPU is on with the fans spinning

Is there something im forgetting or should that be happening?

[atomic epoch]

I have tried re seating the gpu and making sure the power connectors are all the way in

[deep osprey]

is a 6750xt and ryzen 5 7600x a good choice?

[south cliff]

yeah its a pretty nice combo

what are you going to spend on it

or budget

[south cliff]

.

[atomic epoch]

thanks

[deep osprey]

i priced a build out about $ 1260with tax and shipping from newegg

went real cheap with the case though

[lyric thistle]

Mine wasn't exactly bottom dollar but it was 45 dollars I think

If you dont own any of this, hell no

[tawny fiber]

damn

i love this

[mossy venture]

@deep osprey meant to tag you with this

[deep osprey]

that’s nice

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jWPchk

[tawny fiber]

the 7900xt build was significantly stronger

[mossy venture]

I wouldnt go am4 for any "budget" ish system

[deep osprey]

yea i know i think i’d rather spend less though but i don’t know a whole lot about pcs but the the 5600 doesn’t seem like enough for a 7900 idk though

[mossy venture]

5600 is good enough for even a 7900xt at 1440p for gaming

[deep osprey]

oh alr just wasn’t sure about it

[mossy venture]

If you look at gaming benchmarks comparing 5600 to 7600 with a 7900xt at 1440p, it isn't a very big difference

It performs a hell of a lot better than 7600 and 6750xt in a lot of scenarios

[deep osprey]

yeah i’m only planning on using 1440p anyways

[normal tide]

By any chance can someone dm me so I can make sure I have everything compatible and the right parts? I have it all in pc part picker already

[obsidian wigeon]

Just post the link here

[dusty cedar]

well, on the website it will tell you on the bottom if everything is going to conflict. unless your part list is all on newegg?

[potent portal]

They said pc part picker specifically

[analog hearth]

just put the link here

[normal tide]

Alright I wasnt sure if there was any bot that deletes links

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gWHpXy

But I switched the power supply to this https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Certified-100-W1-0600-K1-Power-Supply/dp/B0160XJAQK/ref=asc_df_B0160XJAQK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312142335725&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1242486575000220636&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9006782&hvtargid=pla-522509858574&psc=1

[obsidian wigeon]

Oh dear

The evga white 80+ psu is pretty low quality, I would suggest against buying it

[cyan ravine]

You swapped a good power supply for a literal bomb...

[analog hearth]

I think it would be best to switch at that bomb (PSU)

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[analog hearth]

80+ isn't enough. it's a lower tier than 80+ Bronze

[obsidian wigeon]

Mobo might risk not working with the cpu

[cyan ravine]

Also I can tidy up this list

Give me 5 minutes

[obsidian wigeon]

Go Felix

[cyan ravine]

@normal tide do all this instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KF9vPX

[normal tide]

So is that list a lot better?

[obsidian wigeon]

Ya

Better optimized for price/perf ratio

[cyan ravine]

Not to mention the board has a 100% chance of working instead of an uncertainty

Quite a powerful board too, could handle a 5950x

Few.other things too, CPU is better, GPU is slightly better, you now also have 32gb of ram instead of 16gb which is a big deal in 2023

If anything you could still use a G5 650W but that 109$ price is very hefty for it

Quite a few good options prior that are cheaper and meet a good enough, similar or better safety spec for that level of system

[normal tide]

Yeah I’m just attempting to keep it a budget build

[cyan ravine]

We're just about in that, entry level tier for a proper budget build with this list

Once you hit about below the $650-$700-ish mark the value drops off tremendously for a whole new build

[normal tide]

Yeah I’ve heard it’s around that line

I’ve just been having people help me along the way because I know next to nothing about pc’s

[jagged ember]

Felix's list good

[dark island]

Hey guys I have a question

Is an atx 3.0 power supply necessary

Cuz I may get a 4070

And it’s abit more expensive than others

Is it worth the few bucks ?

[mossy venture]

No

[dark island]

So it’s not necessary or ?

[mossy venture]

It is not necessary no

You don't even need atx 3.0 for a 4090
