Alright

[teal dome]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Ws2gb

Get the case,gpu and ram on Newegg

[serene onyx]

Alright

[teal dome]

Psu on Amazon

And the rest TikTok shop

[serene onyx]

Ok bet

I'll prolly tell him to just get the cpu on tiktok shop

But bet

Ima send him the final links

Ima get them together on here again rq

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Ws2gb

Ok so that's everything rightM

[teal dome]

And the mobo

[mossy venture]

this would technichally end up a bit cheaper if it's the same price on tiktok shop https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mnVmP6/msi-mag-a550bn-550-w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-mag-a550bn

[serene onyx]

Alright I'll let him know

[mossy venture]

but either is fine

[serene onyx]

Guys it's says compatability issues

[mossy venture]

it's a false positive, dw about it

[teal dome]

You’re chilling

[serene onyx]

Ok bet

I'll let him know then

Ima send him the links now

[teal dome]

Can I use this psu for 6700xt and 5500?

[mossy venture]

yeah it'd be fine

[teal dome]

It’s not there on tt shop sadly

[mossy venture]

ah rip

[teal dome]

Only smart psus are there for budget

[serene onyx]

Guys

[mossy venture]

ye

[serene onyx]

What type of games will the pc run

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[mossy venture]

anything

[serene onyx]

Well

[mossy venture]

including starfield

[serene onyx]

Bet

[mossy venture]

atleast for 1080p

[serene onyx]

All I needed to know

[mossy venture]

do they have a monitor yet?

[serene onyx]

Yeah

But it's broken

So he might need a new one

[mossy venture]

@teal domeyou have the link to that 1080p monitor?

the one on ebay?

[teal dome]

The one you gave me?

Yeah

[mossy venture]

yeah

[teal dome]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/275913158318?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IZv0H-iASTG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=lwaysqbhruy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I’m always save stuff you send me lol because I appreciate you helping me all the time ❤️

[mossy venture]

yeah np, happy to

[mossy venture]

@serene onyx if fine with refurb this is good'

[serene onyx]

Alright

Thank you

[mossy venture]

if not there's some good new options around $120-130

[serene onyx]

Bet

Ill prolly send him the link to my monitor if he doesn't want the refurbished one

[mossy venture]

new I would say https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gmytt6/msi-optix-g2412-238-1920-x-1080-170-hz-monitor-g2412

[serene onyx]

Ooooo

Thanks

Might buy myself one

LMAO

I need a extra monitor

[mossy venture]

for a second monitor id just go for a 60-75hz panel personally

or wait

[serene onyx]

Yeah

Does that monitor you sent have speakers?

[mossy venture]

https://store.acer.com/en-us/featured-bundles one for you one for the other person

[serene onyx]

Bet

[mossy venture]

$80 each

[serene onyx]

OMG

WOAH

160? For BOTH?

[mossy venture]

the msi monitor is a bit better, but for the price this is the best

[serene onyx]

That's actually rlly good

[mossy venture]

yeah really nice sale

[serene onyx]

What's kinda monitors

Like, ips? And what else

[mossy venture]

1080 144hz

i think VA

[serene onyx]

Oh wow

That's still not bad

No speakers tho right

[mossy venture]

wait

no nvm it's 75hz, i wouldnt

sorry

monitors speakers are almost always really bad

[serene onyx]

That's true

I just need speakers that will connect to my monitor and NOT my pc

Cause I use my xbox on my monitor

And I always play with no sounds cause I don't like using a headset with my xbox

[mossy venture]

you can get a $10 pair of amazon basics speakers

a lot of monitors have usb ports

though wait nvm

it needs an aux port too

[serene onyx]

I'm not even sure if my monitor has USB ports

If it does then it'll solve my problem

I genuinely need to chrck

😭

[brittle tinsel]

buddy says he turned his pc on, opened up all of his normal apps and went for coffee, came back and it had crashed. Now he says he cant do much except for open settings on his pc.

[mossy venture]

have they tried updating drivers?

[brittle tinsel]

he said he doesnt know what software to use to update anything. I dont know anything about AMD Gpus, I avoid them like my life depends on it because of stuff like this

[mossy venture]

can just google gpu name drivers

[brittle tinsel]

he just messaged me and said his radeon software wont show up.

Ill try and find the driver for him, he has an AMD RX 570

[serene onyx]

Oh yeah I've been having a problem with my amd adrenaline thing

My amd thing doesn't even open at all

Like whenever I wanna check like my fps and like Temps and click the shortcut

It just doesn't open, and it doesn't work. How do I solve that issue?

It's starting to piss me off

[mossy venture]

I'd do a fresh install of drivers

[serene onyx]

Me?

[mossy venture]

ye

[serene onyx]

Yeah I was thinking of doing that but I didn't wanna do it and it not even work

I'll do that once I get home

[mossy venture]

it's the first thing that's worth trying

[serene onyx]

Yeah, ur right

[teal dome]

Use driver uninstaller and remove everything and redownload again

[brittle tinsel]

he did a full install of the driver and fixed his current issue at hand and some other minor issues. Appreciate it!

[mossy venture]

np!

[fossil cedar]

Yeah b560 not b550

[little osprey]

Any z790e strix owners my friend is looking to use the board he is a new builder 14 yrs old. He was looking at reviews and saw all these code 55 reviews and kinda wants to not get that board. should he worry about those reviews?

[mossy venture]

It's not worth it whatsoever

Especially for a new builder, I'd imagine he's not getting heavily into overclocking a 13900ks or ram tuning

[little osprey]

what board would you recommend for him

[mossy venture]

What cpu is he planning for

[little osprey]

13600k or 700k

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pTbTwP/asrock-b760m-pro-rs-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-b760m-pro-rs
Or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/s2KKHx/msi-mag-b760m-mortar-wifi-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-mag-b760m-mortar-wifi

Though amd would be better value

Currently intel is not worth it for gaming

[little osprey]

does the 7900xtx reference cards from the AMD store still have the problem with the hotspot temps

[mossy venture]

Idts but you can get an xtx for $900

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wHVmP6/powercolor-hellhound-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-24-gb-video-card-rx7900xtx-24g-loc

[little osprey]

if i built itx i would do a reference modle

[mossy venture]

Ah itx

[little osprey]

b650e itx asrock phantom gaming i was looking at

[mossy venture]

Cpu?

[little osprey]

7900x that i have laying around that i got for free

[mossy venture]

Prob https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bYytt6/gigabyte-b650i-aorus-ultra-mini-itx-am5-motherboard-b650i-aorus-ultra

This would be fine but I'd imagine not what you're looking for https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hp3NnQ/gigabyte-a620i-ax-mini-itx-am5-motherboard-a620i-ax

[earnest olive]

where you getting a free 7900x

I want one

[primal linden]

I agree

[round cloud]

Hello guys

Computer run good 👍🏻

[lyric thistle]

Nice

[primal linden]

👍

[round cloud]

Uh oh

Blue sceened while playing starfield

Im not sure what it could be…maybe the ram oc?

[obsidian wigeon]

depends on the bsod code

but since you put it that way, it's unstable ram oc

[potent portal]

Fairly likely

[round cloud]

Im a bit confused, the ram was advertise as 6000 but seems to struggle at the speed. Normal?

[obsidian wigeon]

which cpu n board

what ram kit

[round cloud]

Asrock b650m pro rd wifi, 7800x3d, updated bios

[potent portal]

You did the easy timings from buildzoid right?

Sometimes you need a little more voltage here or there to stabilize things

[round cloud]

OLOy Blade (OLOY) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop

[round cloud]

What

[mossy venture]

Are they in the correct slots?

[round cloud]

I believe so

[mossy venture]

Mobo likes 2 and 4 normally, but it could be 1 and 3

[potent portal]

1 and 3 is rare

[mossy venture]

Ye

[round cloud]

It’s 2 and 4 as per the mobo manual

Shows up that way in bios as well

[potent portal]

When you overclocked the memory, what guide did you follow?

[mossy venture]

Alr just good to check first

[round cloud]

Updating mobo driver helped

[round cloud]

I selected a profile

Expo

Tried xmp as well but not enough to say if more successful or not

[potent portal]

Ah, yes occasionally I've seen those need a little more voltage on the IMC

[round cloud]

No crash on 5400 but again didn’t give it a good session

Should I poke around in bios

So it’s possible I just need to fine tune the oc stuff?

Last time I did that was with my i5 750

[obsidian wigeon]

might need a bit more voltage on cpu's imc

[round cloud]

0x0000003b was the code btw

[potent portal]

What file was named as the culprit

[round cloud]

Uh

Let me look

[potent portal]

Does that say ntoskrnl

It's hard to read

[round cloud]

yes

[potent portal]

System files like that usually indicate memory

Try increasing the VDDIO, DRAM VDD, and DRAM VDDQ to 1.36v

[round cloud]

Ok, I will try that

Leave DRAM VPP at 1.8?

[potent portal]

DRAM VPP is 1.8v

Yes

[cyan ravine]

Run vsoc 1.3v

[potent portal]

I'd do that next if it's still unstable

[cyan ravine]

It's set 1.25

Set to 1.3

Set dram voltage to 1.45

Dram vdd voltage

Leave vddo alone for now at 1.35

[potent portal]

That's a bit extreme to just run expo imo

[cyan ravine]

Yes

That's the idea

[potent portal]

Fair enough

[round cloud]

Vddio?

[cyan ravine]

Oh sorry that's vddq

I misread

You can change vddq up

That's fine

[round cloud]

Ok ok hold on

Red

[cyan ravine]

1.3 is maximum safe rated by amd

If you change it to 1.29 it would turn white again

1.3 is on the limit

[round cloud]

What d ram voltage

[cyan ravine]

1.45

Dram vdd

[round cloud]

It auto changes to this value

[cyan ravine]

Ah it has a voltage lock

Put 1.415

Then I'd try that and see if things are better

[round cloud]

It’s 1.41 or 1.42

Can’t do smaller integer apparently

1.41?

[cyan ravine]

Sure

[round cloud]

Kk

[cyan ravine]

Ye

[round cloud]

Cool

How should I test

Just game?

[cyan ravine]

Ye just go about your business and wait for another blue screen

[round cloud]

I also had some games just crash

Seemingly alt f4 no error code

Maybe also the same issue?

[potent portal]

Yes

[round cloud]

Hopefully. Cool

Hopefully the extra juice works 🙏

This case

[plucky timber]

@dark tartan
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZfxwcH

[mossy venture]

That gpu price is not real

[plucky timber]

oof

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hFm9rv
If you want cheaper, can swap gpu to 7900xt/7800xt, and can go to a 2tb ssd for around $65

[cyan ravine]

Damn for not being able to see pcpp I was pretty close tho

[mossy venture]

Very

Could also go 6000c30 for $90

[obsidian wigeon]

399 is so fake

[mossy venture]

$399 you're lucky to get a 6800 lol

[cyan ravine]

I'm waiting for lunch rn

[mossy venture]

What's lunch

[cyan ravine]

Thanks for the help boeing

[plucky timber]

lol I didn't even look at the price

[cyan ravine]

Kebab

[plucky timber]

now that i look at it

[mossy venture]

That's fair I do the same thing normally

[plucky timber]

"wait a second that's 5700xt price"

[mossy venture]

Just sort by cheapest with the specs filters I normally do

[plucky timber]

same

[cyan ravine]

Kebabs be ballin around here

[mossy venture]

7900xt with better xmp ram and extra tb of storage https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mPvrDZ

[plucky timber]

It's kinda crazy how good of a pc you can get for that price

that's cheaper than my old pc with a 5700xt

[mossy venture]

Meanwhile two years ago you'd be lucky to build a 5600 3060 ti pc for $1500

Now you can get a same tiered cpu with a flagship gpu at the same price

[plucky timber]

i bought a 5700xt in mid 2020

right before prices went up

[round cloud]

Dang, seemed to be running smoothly but Starfield did crash

Should I try XMP instead of EXPO?

[cyan ravine]

Crash like blue screen?

Or crash to desktop

Former? Do xmp

Latter try reinstall gpu driver

[round cloud]

Crash to desktop

Ive reinstalled GPU driver

already

[cyan ravine]

After changing the ram? If not, do it again (to avoid corruption carry over)

[round cloud]

No, have not resintalled driver after changing recent OC settings

Will try.

can i just install again or do i need to do something special to wipe old drivers

[mossy venture]

Oh, important thing for once you're all done with ram tuning

And all the issues

Ram issues causes a lot of other pc issues, mainly corrupting files and windows. Once you're done, in windows search bar type "cmd" and run command prompt as administrator

Run these

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Sfc/scannow

And im forgetting one other

Felix might remember it

[round cloud]

kk

[cyan ravine]

Oh yeah def what bacca said

[round cloud]

kk

did those 4 commands

and re installed GPU driver (again)

Would selecting a lower speed likely solve crashing issues?

Crash 😦

gonna try memtest 86

not sure what else to do

24 errors so far

That seems not good

[stoic island]

any error is bad and points towards ram problem

[mossy venture]

It could potentially be a faulty stick atp

[obsidian wigeon]

yeup

it's probably faulty ram

[round cloud]

I understand the logic of swapping out sticks but

Would rather just get a new set?

Tomorrow from microcenter. And return this to Newegg

[obsidian wigeon]

if you want

they do have gskill kits

shouldn't be more expensive than online, at least not too much

[plucky timber]

sometimes ram have lifetime warranty

they don't usually die

[obsidian wigeon]

they all do

[round cloud]

I just got it

[obsidian wigeon]

but rma'ing is a wait

you can return and buy somewhere else too

[plucky timber]

true

[round cloud]

Kinda glad it’s ram tbh

That one is easy

[plucky timber]

yeah

if it's motherboard

💀

you'll practically have to rebuild your pc

[round cloud]

Is there any logic in letting this test run now? It’s faulty obviously, right

Should I just set to slower speed default until I can return tomorrow for stability

That should work right

[plucky timber]

ehhh

I mean if it really is faulty

then that might not solve it

run the stick that's not broken

[round cloud]

Eh that requires trial and error

[plucky timber]

yeah well

[round cloud]

Could just hit MicroCenter in the am instead lol

[plucky timber]

part of troubleshooting

just run a memory test on each stick

probably won't take more than an hour

unless you don't have the time

then yeah just return it tomorrow

[round cloud]

Eh minimal Gains

[plucky timber]

fair enough

[round cloud]

I sure hope new ram works

Lemme look

[obsidian wigeon]

there's no point in re testing

[round cloud]

What am I looking for

For ram specs

[obsidian wigeon]

6000 cl30

micro center should have em

[round cloud]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/668884/teamgroup-t-create-expert-32gb-kit-(2-x-16gb)-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cl30-dual-channel-desktop-memory-kit-ctced532g6000hc30dc01-black ?

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

something with that spec

[mossy venture]

If you dont mind waiting can get same specs for $90

But idk how long shipping is, can check

[round cloud]

Id pay $20 for a full day of gaming tbh

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/H9CZxr/teamgroup-t-create-expert-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-ctced532g6000hc30dc01

[obsidian wigeon]

if you want convenience paying $20 more is probably worth it

[mossy venture]

You could run your ram at jedec speeds until new ram comes

And it won't cause issues at jedec

If it does can run one ram stick

[round cloud]

Jedec?

[obsidian wigeon]

xmp/expo off

[mossy venture]

Default speed

[obsidian wigeon]

or you can run 5400 since you did say it's fine

[mossy venture]

Ye

[round cloud]

I mean i only gave it a lil

It could crash but yea

[obsidian wigeon]

jedec is 4800/5200

depending on board

[mossy venture]

I'd say just run at jedec

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

[round cloud]

Could order ram for cheaper and maybe play with the good stick

Or whatever

[round cloud]

Is this identical?

[obsidian wigeon]

faulty ram is rare, so next kit very likely won't be bad

seems like it's identical to me

if you go corsair ram, well..

expect DOAs

[round cloud]

I heard Corsair ram is bad

[obsidian wigeon]

otherwise it's fine

trash bin, unstable xmp

[round cloud]

If it’s identical MicroCenter might match

[mossy venture]

Yes

If you want rgb there's a kit for $3 more

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2JLFf7/teamgroup-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-ff3d532g6000hc30dc01

[round cloud]

I dont rgb

I need to turn off aio rgb actually

Tried default speeds and cod crashed

I guess it’s just bad ram eh

Go agane tomorrow

[mossy venture]

Could try running one stick

Would hinder overall performance, but would just be for a couple days

Could still run any game with that setup

[round cloud]

Mayhaps

If MicroCenter will price match Amazon/Newegg on that Team Group ram, it’s GG

[mossy venture]

Idt they'd do it unless it's the exact same, including brand and model

But idk I've never tried

[little osprey]

Microcenter will Price match Amazon (Sold and Shipped by Amazon) and Newegg( Sold and shipped by Newegg 99% of the time

[manic cloak]

B tier correct?

Only 50$

[mossy venture]

Depends on when it was manufactured

[obsidian wigeon]

that's the bomb

p-gm

[manic cloak]

That’s THE bomb?

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

[mossy venture]

If it was made after gigabyte fixed it, it's not a bomb

[obsidian wigeon]

wait

[mossy venture]

If it wasn't then it's a bomb

[obsidian wigeon]

ye but anyway

i wouldn't gamble lol

[mossy venture]

Same

[manic cloak]

750w Corsair e better?

For 50$ 😭

[mossy venture]

Yes

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

[mossy venture]

Rme?

[manic cloak]

Mhm

[mossy venture]

A tier

Even if the 850 was udgm I think I'd take the rme over it at same price

850 B tier and 750 a tier are capable of similar things anyways

[manic cloak]

Ah

[cyan ravine]

I would do rme

As a former and current pgm owner

[round cloud]

Kk, got new ram, do I need to run this cmd prompt commands after installing it?

[mossy venture]

I would just in case

[little osprey]

MSI ai1000 PSU any good at 210 usd

[potent portal]

Good unit, bad price

[potent portal]

Here's the cheapest 1000W A tier unit, effectively the same in practice as the MSI one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yXHqqs/phanteks-amp-v2-1000-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ph-p1000g_02

Phanteks taking another W per usual

[potent portal]

It even has a 12VHPWR cable if you were worried about that

So yes very W

[round cloud]

Hi

I noticed when installing the team group ram and checking profiles in bios, there appears to be extra options

Was only 3 options with other ram

I should go with expo 6000 1.35, right

[mossy venture]

Odd, and yeah

[potent portal]

DDR5 spec supports up to 5 profiles, up from the 3 DDR4 supported. It's rare to see that many used but definitely possible, and with XMP and EXPO being different things now I can see them wanting to use more of what's available.

Technically the spec for DDR5 is 3 factory profiles and 2 user programmable profiles but it would be trivial to make a slight modification of the spec, or ignore it altogether.

[round cloud]

Interesting

Well, ram installed, profile selected. Ran those command prompt tests, and they seemed to go much quicker than they did with the previous RAM. Not sure if that is indicative of anything but it seems like a good sign

[round cloud]

Still crashing 😔

[mossy venture]

Then that means it isn't the ram

Which means faulty motherboard or faulty cpu, cpu is the least likely part to be doa

So I'd suspect the motherboard

[round cloud]

I mean maybe it was just cod being cod

Should I do memtest86 again

Perhaps need to verify integrity of my game files…

[mossy venture]

Yes memtest

And have you run the commands yet?

[round cloud]

Yes and updated gpu driver

[round cloud]

Running memtest now.

Hoping it was just corrupted cod files or something.

[round cloud]

No errors so far…had many errors by this point with old ram

[little osprey]

I keep reading online the Z790E Strix has Code 55 problems is this true or just change people had problems. Is this like a know problem with asus boards

[round cloud]

so memtest didnt give any errors...but cod is still crashing

I wonder if it’s my gpu

[teal dome]

Just don’t do xmp bro

[teal dome]

If it’s new it should be fine

[round cloud]

It’s open box

Seemed new

[lavish violet]

I have the asrock B550m-c motherboard and was wondering if it was compatible with the rtx 4060 or 4070 graphics cards

[mossy venture]

Yes, please don't buy any nvidia gpu below 4070

4060 and 4060 ti are never worth it over 3060/ti, unless you're doing productivity like ai and blender

[lavish violet]

So the 4000 series works for that motherboard though

[mossy venture]

Yes

[lavish violet]

Ok thanks

[round cloud]

This worth playing with?

[mossy venture]

If ram still isn't stable with a new kit then it isn't the ram that's the issue

Odds are playing with tuning won't help

Guys yall think this pc case is worth it?

its on sale for 70$

its supposed to be like 200$

[mossy venture]

No

The "price" is fake

[serene onyx]

Yeah I thought so, i was skeptikal

But is it still a good pc case?

Or do u think its dawg

[mossy venture]

There's a thing with tiktok shop right now where you can get things for really cheap

On there there's a case by phanteks, g300a

[serene onyx]

Yeah ik the case

[mossy venture]

With the new user coupon it should be $40, and then on amazon get a 4 pack of thermalright c12c rgb

For $13

[serene onyx]

alrighty ill check it out

[mossy venture]

$53 for a much better case

[serene onyx]

Ur so right

[mossy venture]

Montech also has a case on there that comes with fans

Bit worse quality than g300a but it's still a decent case

[serene onyx]

Bet

ill do that

Ok anyways

how do i reinstall my amd drivers

I need to get my amd adrenaline working

[mossy venture]

Can just Google whatever your gpu name is and drivers

Amd website should pop up

[round cloud]

@mossy venture would you advise trying a new mobo?

[serene onyx]

Bet

[mossy venture]

I would yeah

What cpu again?

[round cloud]

7800x3d

[mossy venture]

And current mobo?

[round cloud]

isnt it not great to swap amd processors cause of the pins or whatever?

asrock b650m pro rs wifi

[teal dome]

Naw

[mossy venture]

Nah that was am4 and earlier

Even then, just had to be careful

[mossy venture]

So can either just return it and buy the same mobo, or the next best option would be b650 a wifi from msi, but thats $160

It isn't the model that's causing the issue, but I understand not wanting to try the same thing

[round cloud]

is the msi inferior other than price

whats the difference even

[mossy venture]

Nah its better actually

$125 vs $160

Though it also has less m.2s

Could also do https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Dq4Zxr/asrock-b650m-hdvm2-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-hdvm2

With separate wifi card

[round cloud]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax/p/N82E16813145449

is the 'gaming' stuff worthwhile

at all

[teal dome]

Oh yeah my mobo support pcie 4 , I should have it kinda faster now, W

[round cloud]

Can you link this one?

[serene onyx]

@mossy venture can you find another ram and gpu bundle thing like last time

For the same build

[lone flame]

deal master bacca

[serene onyx]

Ong

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cRQcCJ/msi-pro-b650m-a-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-pro-b650m-a-wifi

[mossy venture]

Meh, more m.2s than the b650 a wifi, and ATX instead of matx

[mossy venture]

Not sure but I can check

One minute

Nah unfortunately, the gpus are all OOS that qualify for the deal

Fantastech sale starts at midnight, that might have some sales

[round cloud]

I'm looking at the Gigabyte B650M K AMD AM5 microATX Motherboard for $120

Would need a wifi card

but could get my hands on both tomorrow

[mossy venture]

Of they end up getting a separate gpu, this would be good for ram https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rUyPRG/

Otherwise there's a $31 kit on tiktok of 16gb 3200c16

And this is $200 after coupon https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rUMdxB/

[serene onyx]

Brt

Thanks

[mossy venture]

Yeah np, unfortunately not as good a deal as the other bundle but still much better than anything else available

32gb kit should come to like $20?25?

[serene onyx]

Yeah

[teal dome]

30

[mossy venture]

Oh mb, thought it was 50% off up to $20

So figured it'd be $20 before tax

[teal dome]

Sometimes you’ll get but rare lol

[mossy venture]

Ahh

[teal dome]

It will either be 10,40,50

[mossy venture]

I had a 30 earlier I think

I could get an h5 flow for $45 after tax

Crazy

[round cloud]

I’m gonna look inside my PC and double check everything. Maybe just a bad gpu seating or something

[south cliff]

I think im going to upgrade my case to a phanteks nv5 it just looks so beautiful

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811353221?Item=N82E16811353221

i got this case

i think its worth the upgrade

[mossy venture]

@teal dome lowkey

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rU5gow/

This isn't terrible

And is what, $25 for you before tax?

[teal dome]

dont like atx

looks goofy as hell

[mossy venture]

(Would require another account but still)

Isn't g300a atx?

[teal dome]

its matx

[mossy venture]

I think they're both mid towers

Ye g300a is a mid tower

[teal dome]

unlcuky man

30 percent for my new acc

[mossy venture]

There's this for matx https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rUsREr/

G300a still better tho, but also more

Oh wait you decided on montech air 100 right?

I thought that was atx too, it's matx

[south cliff]

Just save a little bit more money

and get a good case

[mossy venture]

Oh h5 flow is also matx

H5 flow is really nice for the price it's at on tt shop

[south cliff]

why he buying from tt shop

[mossy venture]

Because it's cheap

$20 off and already lower prices than most other places for a lot of parts

$60 A tier 750w, $45 h5 flow, $35 2tb p41 plus

$50 b550 aorus elite

[south cliff]

isnt that only if your a first time user

[mossy venture]

New accounts

[south cliff]

where you finding this stuff

[mossy venture]

Abuse the system

[south cliff]

where to look

[mossy venture]

I just search things on the shop section of tiktok

[south cliff]

i can prolly get nv5 30 dollars off

[mossy venture]

Black or white?

[south cliff]

black

[mossy venture]

Would be $80 for black $90 for white

[south cliff]

the only thing i got white is my psu

where is the shop option

[mossy venture]

Might have to update it

Its between the fyp and following at the top

[south cliff]

i dont got that

[mossy venture]

Update it

[south cliff]

i got the lateset version

[mossy venture]

That's odd

Could try uninstall reinstall

Or maybe your pc

[south cliff]

i thought on phone

[mossy venture]

Yeah most people have it on mobile

Idk why yours doesn't

[south cliff]

alr so its 86.99

with the discoun

discount

i just gotta use that link that you posted

[mossy venture]

Nice

[south cliff]

ez 20 dollars off

w

[teal dome]

h5 flow is 64n with no discount

damn

[south cliff]

44 for h5 flow

[teal dome]

with discount its 51

[south cliff]

is really good

[teal dome]

lucky bruh

[south cliff]

with tax

its 51

you dont count tax

tho

[teal dome]

yeah same

i did

i always count tax

[mossy venture]

Ye normally I don't recommend it, but considering it's the same price as g300a+ fans, that's pretty nice

[south cliff]

its 44 for h5 flow

and the rest to uncle sam

[teal dome]

i cant tell if it has 3 or 1 fan

[mossy venture]

While nzxt, id still consider it on the "higher end" of cases, with high end being around $100 with fractal design cases and g360a

[south cliff]

wait is the shipping on tt shop slower than buying it regular

[mossy venture]

I think its 4

[mossy venture]

Yeah, I think the ssd I ordered today takes a week to arrive

[south cliff]

thats not even bad

[teal dome]

for me its at october 14

[teal dome]

how lol

[mossy venture]

Oct 13-19th

[teal dome]

the pictures are not helpful

[mossy venture]

So 5-11 days

[teal dome]

if its 4 then its a steal

[south cliff]

11 days i dont think it would take that long

[teal dome]

yeah i dont think so either

[south cliff]

unless tiktok has to do something with it

it may say it

[teal dome]

around a wwek

[mossy venture]

Wait no it's 2

[south cliff]

but should be regular rates

[teal dome]

my friend said he gonna give me his psu hope its good and doesnt blow up

[mossy venture]

4 is on the h5 flow rgb

[teal dome]

kinda mid then honeslty

[mossy venture]

Ehh

G300a is what, $5 less with 1 fan?

[teal dome]

bitfenix same price with 3 fans

[mossy venture]

It's better build quality than the montech air 100 too

[south cliff]

mine says 13th -19

[mossy venture]

Lower quality case overall though

For one fan imo not worth it

[teal dome]

how do i know

the numbers are so unhelpfuk lol

[south cliff]

i got a 5 pack of refurbished p12 for like 20 dollars

[teal dome]

its one fan and one gpu fan

[south cliff]

ebay come in clutch

[mossy venture]

?

[teal dome]

the fan at the bottom

[mossy venture]

Can grab an extra fan for like $4

[teal dome]

where?

needa get 2 to cover front 2

[mossy venture]

If you need two then 3 pack c12c

Which then means about $15 over g300a

[teal dome]

so like 15+51

[mossy venture]

2 fans would functionally be fine

[teal dome]

true

[mossy venture]

Could just grab another or a few down the line

[south cliff]

depends on your hardware

[mossy venture]

5500 and 6700xt

Would be fine

[teal dome]

6700xt 5500

stock cooler

[teal dome]

yeah

idk ill think about it

nzxt case does look cooler than the bitfenix one

[south cliff]

i would say just get the flow

tbh

and get some fans\

with your extra budge

[mossy venture]

If I were buying, I'd go for the h5, but I'm not the one buying. It's your choice

[south cliff]

budget

[mossy venture]

I just put the info out there so you know what you're getting one way or the other

[south cliff]

thats the smart thing to do

its not a bad case

[mossy venture]

It's honestly a pretty good case

[teal dome]

h5 flow?

[mossy venture]

Just not good for the price It's normally at

[mossy venture]

Ye

[teal dome]

yeah ill prob get

[south cliff]

ye

im ordering the nv5 tommorow

pretty exited

[mossy venture]

Nice

[teal dome]

nice

[mossy venture]

I hadn't seen it before, looks like a solid case

[teal dome]

i still need to wait until end of october to buy the rest of my parts

[teal dome]

my components are all black

[south cliff]

w

[mossy venture]

Black is a dollar more I think

Black and white can look really nice too

H5 flow is one of those cases that I'd actually recommend for Black and white bc of how clean it is

[teal dome]

and the white is the cheaper one

[teal dome]

10 dollar more

[mossy venture]

Ah rip

[teal dome]

ill go for the white

[south cliff]

or i could not buy the nv5 and upgrade something else in my pc

with 86 dollars

[teal dome]

montech air is around 41 with 4 fans

[mossy venture]

It's up to you, either $20 saved and better airflow now, or better overall quality in case and $20 more, half now half down the line

Either is a good choice

[teal dome]

can you find me wifi and blutooth for my mobo

[mossy venture]

I'd just grab the cheapest wifi 6 card you see on Amazon warehouse

Cheapest new is $21 rn

[teal dome]

damn

[mossy venture]

I'll grab the link to that one

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MMjBD3/intel-ax200-80211abgnacax-m2-e-wi-fi-adapter-ax200ngwgdtk

This is 6e but I think you'd need to buy separate antenna, I could be wrong about that https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YHVmP6/intel-ax210-wvpro-80211abgnacax-m2-wi-fi-adapter-ax210ngwg

For Bluetooth can prob find a $5 dongle on amazon or wegg

[teal dome]

https://amzn.to/45hpZHS

what about that

[mossy venture]

That'd be good

[teal dome]

where do i connect them ?

[mossy venture]

Pcie, and then the antenna connects to the back of it

And would sit on top of your pc or on your desk

[teal dome]

can i put it in case?

[mossy venture]

Nah it wouldn't get good signal I don't believe

[teal dome]

alright

[teal dome]

send me link for it so i can put them in cart for now

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vq6p99/thermalright-tl-c12c-s-6617-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-tl-c12c-s-x3-d6

I think its actually $1 cheaper on amazon

Can do non rgb for $1 less or white rgb for $1 more

[teal dome]

thank you

[round cloud]

I bought a windows key

Will it be a pita if I get a new mobo

[potent portal]

Nah

If you keep the same windows install then it shouldn't have an issue with activation, and if you install fresh just run the activation troubleshooter and transfer the license

[round cloud]

Kk I might just do that

[south cliff]

I have a quick question do i have to buy like the rgb things that go around the nv5?

i see a video

with them in it

but in phanteks website it doesent show that it comes with it

[round cloud]

Alright, ordered new mobo. GPU gets replaced next, I guessed. Lol

[round cloud]

I'd like to do a better job at cable management while I'm at it... https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Extension-Sleeved-Braided-4PIN-300MM/dp/B08T98T1DX?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 -- thinking this would be good?

[teal dome]

I heard asiahorse cables are good

Even Lian li if you don’t got too tight of a budget

[round cloud]

does 16awg or 18 awg matter

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KCSZHDX/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B08KCSZHDX&pd_rd_w=e1v83&content-id=amzn1.sym.7804c0a5-3e3d-4d4d-a2b2-cb8458cc8b1f&pf_rd_p=7804c0a5-3e3d-4d4d-a2b2-cb8458cc8b1f&pf_rd_r=XBF54DNRWESKR89CFAXY&pd_rd_wg=k2ahb&pd_rd_r=f57e57d4-c321-4396-85c6-464004d6706c&th=1

[teal dome]

No clue lmao

[round cloud]

These custom cables don’t seem to bad tbh

My cables are cursed rn

[manic cloak]

@teal dome or @mossy venture sorry for @ but how do you even access tiktok shop on pc

[mossy venture]

I haven't tried I just assumed it'd show up on the browser

[teal dome]

You can’t sadly

I tried today

There’s no shop on browser

[manic cloak]

damn

[teal dome]

Either phone or bluestacks

[manic cloak]

cause my "new user" thing ended

and so everything's back to normal price

[teal dome]

It’s prob there if you go to mobile

[manic cloak]

i still have the new user discounts for whatever in my cart

[teal dome]

Mines still there lmao

[teal dome]

Yeah

[manic cloak]

nah mine isn't 🛍️

😭

[teal dome]

If you bought something it will prob end

You’ll still get coupon tho

[manic cloak]

i havent

[teal dome]

You got unlucky then

[manic cloak]

i created a new acc too

nothing

unless it tracks my history

[teal dome]

Cuz the 5500 it was there for me for like 2-3 days

I bought it today luckily

[manic cloak]

did you create a account?

[teal dome]

Naw I used my main

I used alt for ram only

[manic cloak]

thats stupid 😭

[teal dome]

Fr dude you got unlucky as hell

[manic cloak]

bluestacks only allows me to log into one I think

[teal dome]

I think so

You don’t got a phone?

[manic cloak]

I do

have a phone

but whenever I create an acc it won't give me the deal

[teal dome]

For me it did

I made a new one just now

[manic cloak]

like with email only?

[teal dome]

Ye

No number no nothing

[manic cloak]

@teal dome verify email?

cause I just made another and same thing 😭

[teal dome]

Nope

Created it and I saw deal

I put it in

It works

[manic cloak]

try again rn

[teal dome]

Aight

[manic cloak]

let's see if it works for

you

[teal dome]

Still have the 30% off

[manic cloak]

damn :

I have legit nothing

[teal dome]

Don’t got the new user deals tho sadly

Got the coupon tho

I’m still pretty surprised I got a 5500 off 67

[manic cloak]

@teal dome I think If I buy something on the acc that has the new user, delete it from my tiktok saved, make a new acc, there

But what’s weird is I didn’t get a coupon

[teal dome]

Yeah

Try making another acc

It might work

[manic cloak]

I alr did

[teal dome]

Tbh it don’t matter much because fantastech is here

[manic cloak]

But I haven’t bought a thig. Yet

True

[teal dome]

(I never heard of it before so idk what deals are gonna be there)

[manic cloak]

Last time it was crap

[teal dome]

I’m gonna cry if the stuff I bought are gonna be lower

[manic cloak]

Okay but what should I buy tho

Probably the ssd right

[teal dome]

Do one each

[manic cloak]

Why each one

[teal dome]

Depends on what you need

[manic cloak]

20$ max

[teal dome]

Yeah

You save only 20

[manic cloak]

It doesn’t work per

[teal dome]

You aren’t saving on the rest

[manic cloak]

I mean

I’m not building a pc anytime soon 😭

[teal dome]

You get another deal after that

I’m pretty sure cuz that’s what. I got

I got 40 then 30 next so I bought mobo and cpu in one acc

[teal dome]

Buy a ssd then

Universal for any build

Really good deal

You can prob do ssd and case

[manic cloak]

True

[teal dome]

I had the 5500 for 66 no deal on

I got the same ram for 32$ after deal

[manic cloak]

i really am debating if i should even spend money rn 😭

i got a bunch

but i'm trying to save yk

[teal dome]

Honestly bro don’t

Get the ssd tho

That’s such a good deal

[manic cloak]

ya that i definitely am planning to

just the spending habit

[teal dome]

Everything else is mid

Only reason I bought the 5500 is because I’m on a budget

If not get a 5600 or higher

[manic cloak]

im building a pc for my cousin for CHRISTMAS

ikik

longggg way out

but i'm trying to use used and good deals rn

with tiktok shop, amazing things

[teal dome]

Depends on what games lol

Copy my build

6700xt, 5500

Really good budget build

Sub 500 for me cuz of deals

[strong raft]

xmas is too far out. perhaps just get the ssd. $20/TB is pretty nice.

[mossy venture]

I got it for $34 after tax

Wait I thought this was tech deal discussion

Ignore me

[pseudo pollen]

yo quick question, what's the best used gpu for around $100-120? I was looking at something like the 1070 ti, but I'm not certain

[mossy venture]

1070 ti, 1080, 5700xt, 2060, 2060 super, 2070

5700xt best among those

Maybe 5700 non xt or 5600xt

[pseudo pollen]

5600xt seems to be basically the 1070 ti for $40 less in terms of gaming

I'm just tryna make a somewhat decent testbench on a budget

1080 ti seems like a safe bet though

[mossy venture]

1080 ti is similar to 5700xt

[pseudo pollen]

it's actually similar to the 2070 super for $50 less

unless I can't trust techpowerup

I just watches a video pretty quickly, and the 1080ti is on par/beats the 2070 super in most games

[mossy venture]

Both are

1080 ti 5700xt 3060 12gb 6650xt 6600xt 2070 super all in the same ballpark

[pseudo pollen]

I'm just looking to also do some emulation on this pc, and amd seems to be less supported than nvidia cards, and cause more problems. But it should work nonetheless.

thanks for the help, i do appreciate it

[manic cloak]

mine is only 13 per

[manic cloak]

@teal dome those mfer's cancelled my order 😭

[teal dome]

You were too late bruh

[manic cloak]

and now that new deal is sGONE

[teal dome]

Fantastech is here

[manic cloak]

nono

[teal dome]

Hope mine did not cancel

TikTok right?

[manic cloak]

they cancelled it at like

12:15

[teal dome]

It’s 11:58

[manic cloak]

i was wondering why i didnt get charged

[teal dome]

I got charged so I really hope they show up lol

[mossy venture]

The ssd?

[manic cloak]

yup

[mossy venture]

Mines still in

[manic cloak]

mine for the 27.69$ tho

[mossy venture]

At $30.43 after tax apparently

[teal dome]

My board ram and cpu still in

[teal dome]

That’s not even bad ong

Should’ve picked up two for bigger discount

[mossy venture]

It's almost as cheap as the cheapest 1tb ssd recently

M450 at $28

Wait no that is cheaper, since 30.43 is including tax

If mine does get canceled I won't be too upset

[teal dome]

Also fantastech started

Where do I check those deals

[mossy venture]

It'll just be replacing my hdd

[manic cloak]

anything

[teal dome]

But still it’s so much faster than the HDD

[manic cloak]

i don't seea ny fantasdeal

[obsidian wigeon]

for a game drive hdd is still ok

yeah slower but it's not that slow

[teal dome]

Me neither

[teal dome]

Hope my 1tb last me some time

[manic cloak]

179.99

[manic cloak]

Well @teal dome @mossy venture I got my order to go through after long trial n error

One thing is

The b550 board is on sale

[teal dome]

Which one

The aorus?

[manic cloak]

Elite gigabyte

Yup

Ofc I’m not building but

[teal dome]

Same thing happened to me lol

[manic cloak]

What I found out is that tiktok doesn’t update their shops

So like..

[teal dome]

I’d cop and stick with am4 for your cousin

Bacca and Felix said it’s a good board

[manic cloak]

If I just keep it in my cart though

The price won’t update

[teal dome]

Ong?

You sure?

I might do that for the psu

And the case

Man I just need the psu for my build to be working now

[manic cloak]

@teal dome well uh

There’s a new coupon

[teal dome]

Ong?

[manic cloak]

30% off with 30$ max

[teal dome]

Like what

[teal dome]

Actually good

[manic cloak]

Idk, that’s what I got through tiktok shop but I can’t use it

[teal dome]

Why not

[manic cloak]

No clue

Maybe some items only

[teal dome]

It says fall sale

Use it on the auros board

It should work

[manic cloak]

I’ll try

@teal dome coupon doesn’t qualify for it

But I’m seeing if a 0.01 item could bug it

[teal dome]

Bug it?

[teal dome]

I wonder why

[manic cloak]

Nope

[teal dome]

Click on see eligible products

[manic cloak]

And bug if I meant like by

[manic cloak]

Doesn’t show

I meant by like putting a .01 item in

To see if the discount covered it all

[teal dome]

Try it on this

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rfrDko/

[teal dome]

Min 30

[manic cloak]

Fr

[teal dome]

So I don’t think it will work lmao

[manic cloak]

Discount works for the case but it’s my 20$ one @teal dome

[teal dome]

Oh

Idk I don’t have that coupon on any other accounts

Maybe I’ll get it tmr

[teal dome]

With that coupon either pick up the board or a case

[manic cloak]

YOOOO

Wait

Hold on nvm

G300a still 60$ 👎👎

My coupon works for it

[teal dome]

For the g300a?

[manic cloak]

Mhm

I wish they matched it with neweggs actual price :/

30$ would be crazy
