[teal dome]

Go ahead, spill the beans

[plucky timber]

Nzxt cases are notorious in having bad airflow

I mean it depends on the hardware

But i wouldn't put anything high end in it

Or at least anything that outputs heat like high end hardware

[teal dome]

Me with a 5500 and 6700xt

(Low end)

[teal dome]

I’m buying 3 fans for the case anyways

And it just looks too good to pass on

[plucky timber]

I mean

A 6700xt outputs quite a lot of heat

Shouldn't be too bad tho

[teal dome]

There is a gpu fan

[plucky timber]

It won't be optimal but in this case it won't be too bad

[teal dome]

Imma look up some reviews later

[manic cloak]

I mean the flow isn’t THAT bad as a glass panel front with side holes for airflow

Bottom and back exhaust I believe, 2 intakes, 2 intakes on top,

Not bad to me

[teal dome]

How many fans do I need to buy?

[manic cloak]

Should be only 2 for top ones

Unless you replace all with rgb

[teal dome]

I want rgb lol

So like 4 if you want rgb

[teal dome]

I’m gonna miss my rgb ong

I wonder how no rgb pc looks like

[manic cloak]

Why not the phanteks case btw @teal dome

[teal dome]

Too big

Looking for a matax

[manic cloak]

Wdym 😭

[teal dome]

It’s a mid tower bruh

[manic cloak]

That nzxt isn’t micro?

Montech air 100

Cheap quality but looks nice

[teal dome]

The case is 46

And I need to buy fans for 15

[manic cloak]

How? New person deal?

[teal dome]

The g300a

[manic cloak]

ah

[teal dome]

After deal

[plucky timber]

How many fans does it come with?

[manic cloak]

61$ isn’t that bad

[teal dome]

1

[manic cloak]

^

[plucky timber]

Wtf

[teal dome]

Exactly bruh

[plucky timber]

The p300a came with more fans

[teal dome]

That’s more expensive as well

[manic cloak]

P300a is an older model

[plucky timber]

Still

Not a bad case

[manic cloak]

The case itself is better than the p300a, just no fans

[plucky timber]

Unfortunate

[teal dome]

Imma sitck either a h5 or bitfenix all the other cases are either too big or too bad looking

[manic cloak]

I mean hey, scrap your old fans @teal dome

Put them in you’re new build lmao

[teal dome]

I don’t have any

[plucky timber]

Yeah do you have old fans?

Oh

[manic cloak]

Ah

[plucky timber]

I mean

Cheap fans would be fine

[teal dome]

Never built a pc before lmao

[plucky timber]

I'm sure there's some cheap options if you ask around

[teal dome]

Yeah

There’s 3 thermaltake fans for 15

[manic cloak]

You could do montech air 100 @teal dome

[plucky timber]

That's pretty good

One pack is enough

For decent airflow

[manic cloak]

4 argb fans for 51.99 i believe

With the case

[plucky timber]

Meh

Too pricey

Wait

Nvm

I thought that was fans alone

[manic cloak]

I was gonna say 💀

[plucky timber]

But yeah

Plenty of good options

[teal dome]

Might spend 10 dollar more and get the nzxt lol

I’ll think about

[manic cloak]

💀 alr

[teal dome]

I’m biased as hell to the nzxt cuz it just looks too cool

I get 2 fans I buy 3

Put 2 side and 2 top

[plucky timber]

As long as you're not putting a 6950XT and a 13900k in it

It shouldn't be too bad

[earnest olive]

ahhh okay good to know

[plucky timber]

yeah that's the tricky thing about nzxt cases

[earnest olive]

i can proceed with my nzxt h510 workstation featuring the xeon w9-3495x and quad 3090s

[plucky timber]

the airflow isn't good

but it also isn't too bad

[plucky timber]

lmao

[earnest olive]

when the emote becomes literal

[plucky timber]

2x r9 290x

fx 9590

[earnest olive]

not thinking with enough gas

dual r9 295x2

[plucky timber]

295x2 has liquid cooler tho

that kinda offsets the temps

[earnest olive]

500W TBP

[plucky timber]

iirc the 295x2 is just 2 290x on a single board

[earnest olive]

it's a 120mm aio for 500W

yeah

but it'll let you fit 4 of them into an nzxt h510

[plucky timber]

lol

at that point finding a psu is gonna be hard haha

[earnest olive]

what do you mean

my 95+ platinum 3600W psu that i bought from aliexpress for $25 will do great

[plucky timber]

lol

trips breaker immediately

[earnest olive]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csYUReEhtvQ

[plucky timber]

is that isa?

[earnest olive]

nope, PCI

[plucky timber]

card looked like it was isa

or maybe I'm confusing it with agp

which one

[mossy venture]

What cpu

[shut rampart]

5700x

[mossy venture]

Can get a 32gb 3200c16 vulcan kit for like $30 on tiktok after a new user coupon

Otherwise that 3600c18 kit

[cyan ravine]

4000 is unlikely to run synced

So it'll run desynced and slower than a basic 3200 kit

For 32gb consider 3733 or less for guaranteed xmp to work

[cyan ravine]

I gotta admit @wheat olive , not my kind of build

But that's very consistent and clean

For what it is

[teal dome]

@wheat olive clean case, what case is it!

[cyan ravine]

Y40

[gentle pollen]

@wheat olive PC looks nice and aesthetic is well maintained throughout the build.

[mossy venture]

@teal dome for another case option the 903 max is on tiktok shop too

$58 before coupon

Comes with 4 fans

[teal dome]

I saw that

It’s a mid tower

Kinda want something smaller

[mossy venture]

Alr

[mossy venture]

Wait I forgot, case was between h5 flow and what?

[teal dome]

Bitfenix

[mossy venture]

I dont remember what I said about it yesterday, but the air 100 on tiktok is $52 before coupon and comes with 4

Matx

Still worse quality than h5 flow though

[little osprey]

Isn’t G300A like $60-$70

It’s legit $59.99 on Amazon and Newegg

[teal dome]

It’s 40 on tt shop

[little osprey]

Objectively better than previous recommended cases

[wheat olive]

Hyte y40 snow white!

[round cloud]

The 2nd mobo in a row with a price drop 1 day after I order it…

[little osprey]

My OCD is really going to ruin my life 😦 with my new computer build

[wheat olive]

Yeah it's not for everyone. Still love it haha

[little osprey]

and im really struggling

[wheat olive]

[manic cloak]

12900k, z690 Maximus hero, and z trident rgb ddr5 ram like 6000 cl36 for 300$ used

Worth?

[gentle pollen]

Sounds solid.

[mossy venture]

Yes

Normally the cpu costs that alone used

[little osprey]

Is this a good build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ccK6rv

[mossy venture]

I wouldnt recommend it, one minute

[little osprey]

I have my case

This is my case; CORSAIR 3000D AIRFLOW CASE
MID-TOWER CASE

[mossy venture]

Better, same aesthetic, and cheaper https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Rn3yg

Only need one of those 3 packs

For 3000d airflow

@little osprey

[round cloud]

New mobo should be here tomorrow and I’m basically rebuilding my pc

[south cliff]

Boom got a new case Cost 86.99 on the dot

[little osprey]

Is this one good to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Rn3yg

[pseudo pollen]

It's the exact same one lol

[little osprey]

Is this one good ? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Z3Vwg

Parts updated

[lone flame]

how can I upgrade this prebuilt (cpu, memory, gpu) for around 300-350 usd, mobo and the actual pc listed below

https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A320M-HDV/index.asp

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-3-2300x-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-570-1tb-hdd-240gb-ssd-black/6362425.p?skuId=6362425

[pseudo pollen]

more expensive but worse cooler, more expensive motherboard for no good reason, better ssd's for the price, and psu+fans aren't in this list?

[pseudo pollen]

I'd get 16gb of ram, sell the gpu and get something like a 6650xt, and upgrade the cpu to something like the r5 5500 from tiktok shop (currently $79) AFTER UPDATING BIOS

Also I'd upgrade the storage but that's just me

[mossy venture]

It's fine, the frozen notte 240 is just as good for half the price

And the p41 plus is better and cheaper

[serene onyx]

Guys i have to turn on secure boot on my BIOS just to play valorant

wtf

this is so sketchy

should i do that?

idk if me turning it on will mess up my pc

[potent portal]

It's stupid that they make you do that but it does serve actual purposes. One being if you get perma banned they can ban you at the hardware level. If you're not comfortable with them having the unique, unchangeable ID of your computer, then don't play it.

(at least, not easily changed)

[serene onyx]

Ok so basically

Nothing will happen if I do?

[potent portal]

If your computer supports secure boot there's few reasons to not use it for the average user

In rare cases it can have adverse effects like performance loss (Ryzen 2000 mostly)

[serene onyx]

Mines supports it

But i don't wanna turn it on

Cause like u said, what are the effects besides that

What will it screw up

[potent portal]

If you're an average user, nothing will happen.
Average users have a fairly recent system and only use Windows.

[lone flame]

@potent portal

idk what to do for it

[earnest olive]

someone gave you a pretty good answer already

did you just choose to ignore it or what

[lone flame]

oh im blind he didnt ping reply me

[earnest olive]

power draw won't change much so existing power supply and cooler is probably fine

[storm arrow]

Its prime day! Scoop up the 7800x3d for 360?

[obsidian wigeon]

cheaper at newegg

349

[storm arrow]

Send link showing 399

[obsidian wigeon]

there's a coupon you apply for $50 off

[storm arrow]

Oh I see

[obsidian wigeon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3hyH99/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-42-ghz-8-core-processor-100-100000910wof

code should be in this pcpp link

[fading acorn]

why do my fans have different white hues

[mossy venture]

Looks like a light is hitting them differently

[cyan ravine]

could also be typical lian li quality control

@frigid night kekw

[fading acorn]

2 out of the 9 look actually white the rest look purple

[cyan ravine]

that sounds about right

lines up with my unifan experience

white is like

white but kinda purple hue

maybe blue?

not very bright

right??

[fading acorn]

i have these on the lowest brightness anyways but yeah very purple

[cyan ravine]

the beautiful world of lian li

[fading acorn]

i guess i should have gotten the v2

unless those are the same idk

[cyan ravine]

can't say tbh

after trying unifans I gave up rgb forever(?)

that was like, a good couple years ago

[frigid night]

Unifans suck. The sl/st are where it's at for lighting.

Anything above 20% brightness on any led set to white will burn out blue then the other colors will start to fail.

[cyan ravine]

didn't you have some horrible teething with lian li

all those fans going back and forth

[frigid night]

The only issue I have with my Lian LI fans is that 1 out of 10 failed mechanically. Otherwise lighting is fine.

[cyan ravine]

hm was it only one fan?

I feel like we had a LOT of conversations for that one fan

[frigid night]

Yean

[cyan ravine]

LOL

[frigid night]

It was my antec fans where all the led went yellow within a month

[cyan ravine]

oh it was antec

woops

[frigid night]

I did have an issue where my 10th fan in the string was having issues changing colors, but after rewiring things, no issues.

[cyan ravine]

my mistake then

[frigid night]

You are forgiven

[lethal tapir]

I know it's silly but

Can I get away with using a single fan aio for an i3 12100k

[potent portal]

There's no 12100k, but there's 12100f

And yes you can easily do that

[lethal tapir]

My bad, yes that one

[potent portal]

That's a pretty common thing to do in SFF builds, a slim 120mm rad and fan for a low power cpu

[lethal tapir]

Thanks, I'm not up to speed with how much heat these things handle

[glad wharf]

I am upgrading my computer with a ASUS prime Z690-P motherboard. Looking for a suggestion for a graphics card. This is not a gaming pc but I do have 3 monitors. Any suggestions.

[potent portal]

A 120mm AIO would be comparable to a $40 air cooler, give or take

[lethal tapir]

6600rx is great! Cheap and extremely effective

[mossy venture]

Thought it was more similar to a $20 single tower, with $35-40 dual towers matching 240mm

[lethal tapir]

If you're not gonna do any gaming maybe a a380

[mossy venture]

Oh for sff you mean a low profile $40 cooler?

[potent portal]

If you're not gaming then you don't even need a GPU, just get a CPU with integrated graphics (no F in the name) and you can use the daisy chain part of the displayport spec to use 3 monitors

[potent portal]

Yes

[mossy venture]

Ahh mb sorry

[potent portal]

Like the LP noctua one

[mossy venture]

Depending on the itx case, a 240mm aio like the notte might fit

And very similar price to a 120mm

[potent portal]

For a 12100f though?

[mossy venture]

True, ig just depends on pricing of the 120mm aio

Also solar if you don't have the cpu or mobo yet you can get a 5500 and b550 for a total of $110 with tiktokshop

[lethal tapir]

I have a micro-atx board for a mid case so I'm looking to get a smol-er box and a cooler to fit

[mossy venture]

Oh you could fit a $20 tower cooler then

[potent portal]

Honestly the stock cooler is fine

[mossy venture]

^

Yeah that makes more sense

[potent portal]

Even on less good cases, the 12100 is so low power

[lethal tapir]

Yeah I got the $17 sale aircooler a while back and replaced the Intel stock cooler

I was just thinking of getting the corsair aio to combo with the other corsair stuff it has

What a fool move that was

[mossy venture]

Corsair aios<

[potent portal]

Swap the fan if you want it to match

[lethal tapir]

Could do

Tru tru

[potent portal]

Corsair really does make below average AIOs, just with a shiny coat of RGB to cover it up, maybe a LCD. Lipstick on a pig as it were.

[mossy venture]

Meanwhile $46 gets you a good 240mm thermalright aio

And they have a $50 option with an lcd display too

[lethal tapir]

😕 then why is it so "paying for a name" expensive

[potent portal]

They used to be good, like Samsung

[mossy venture]

Brands that I will almost never buy include Samsung asus and corsair

Just because they're almost always terribly priced

[potent portal]

Really? Asus? I have no beef with them. They at least have decent products and service in my experience to compensate for the extra cost.

[mossy venture]

Of course there's raidmax, gamesmax, aresgame, Biostar, all those types

Too many to name

[mossy venture]

Asus is fine, they just are so overpriced

[lethal tapir]

Maybe I'm lucky I don't have history

[mossy venture]

Mobos sometimes decently priced on sale, just rarely

[lethal tapir]

So far all my asrock stuff is great

[mossy venture]

Asrock has gotten really good as of late, especially mobos

Lga 1700 and am5 mobos they kinda rule price/perf

[potent portal]

You managed to get assrock stuff after they started to really try to dig themselves out of the "bargain brand" reputation so you would have better luck now than in the (recent) past.

[mossy venture]

I dont have negative experiences with any of them, they just don't have well priced products generally

Same with noctua

I'm trying to think of other brands like that

[lethal tapir]

Can't get over the b r o w n

[mossy venture]

A lot of the time evga atp, their psus are overpriced most of the time

Sometimes their clc goes on sale, but can't compete with thermalright anymore

[potent portal]

So get it in black, they have that

They had white fans on the plans but they've had trouble finding a plastic that won't yellow over time and still looks good

[mossy venture]

Corsair fans?

Or smthn else

[potent portal]

Noctua

[mossy venture]

Ah

[lethal tapir]

I guess I'd rather have brown than that...

Black works too

its just that ugly 1970s family room record player color

[ocean oxide]

this good for the price? and is the website trustworthy?

maybe not good but at least fair pricing

[fleet heron]

Never heard of it

[mossy venture]

Are you in the us?

[ocean oxide]

yep usa

[mossy venture]

You could do a lot better than that, what are you using the laptop for?

[ocean oxide]

gaming and photo/video editing (just need true colors for that part)

[mossy venture]

Ahh, there was someone else here with similar needs the other day

Unless that was you?

[ocean oxide]

also didnt expect a response this fast so my replies will be spotty sorry bout that

[ocean oxide]

haha yeah probs me

[mossy venture]

Oh yeah it was

Nah you're good

Any reason why the other ones we found didn't work out for you?

Because I was going to recommend one of the ones we found, so I don't really have anything to suggest lol

$2200 for a 13900h 4070 is just crazy though

[fleet heron]

That's rlly good for a laptop!

What no it's not

Ignore me smh

[ocean oxide]

oh wait i take it back, i forgot about your most recent suggestion, thats actually the one im leaning towards and not the one i sent

ill make sure to close that tab now so i dont get confused xd

[mossy venture]

Ah alr

[ocean oxide]

thanks again

[south cliff]

i wouldnt trust it

[dusty coyote]

Hey y’all I’m working on a build with a MAG B550 Tomahawk 16GB Corsair vengeance RAM, GTX 1660 and a 5900X cpu. Every time I turn it on, it keeps showing a DRAM light and not posting for some reason. I know the Ram works because I can switch it to another PC. I’ve tried the different slots one at a time and they all do the same thing. Any ideas?

[mossy venture]

Did the ram click when you put it in?

And what slots do you have it in, 1 and 3 or 2 and 4

[cyan ravine]

Iirc I think a deal popped up with a pc having similar specs for what, 1400?

I might be misremembering

It's early in the morning

[mossy venture]

And it could be the motherboard

[potent portal]

Have you updated the bios to support 5000 series

[mossy venture]

^

[dusty coyote]

I have tried all of them. Both 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 and then each one individually. They did click when I put them in. The only thing I can think is bios but at the same time, I’ve tried about seven different CPU’s and none of them will make it post

[sharp pelican]

any thoughts on the aorus z790 elite?

[mossy venture]

Depends on price and cpu you're pairing it with

[sharp pelican]

13600k

[mossy venture]

Do you plan to cpu oc?

[sharp pelican]

yes

[mossy venture]

Ah alr

What are you looking for in a motherboard?

[sharp pelican]

paired with a 6950xt

[mossy venture]

As in m.2 slots, io, etc

[sharp pelican]

yea, one sec

im building a pc for a friend

asking him now

[mossy venture]

What's the total budget for the build btw?

And use case?

[sharp pelican]

The m.2, the heatsink, and the lga1700 socket (also black coloring)
Aswell as the ddr5

[mossy venture]

13600k isn't really worth it over 7600

But if he's set on intel https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Xpnypg/asus-tuf-gaming-z690-plus-wifi-atx-lga1700-motherboard-tuf-gaming-z690-plus-wifi

That's good

Or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/K9Fbt6/msi-pro-z690-a-wifi-atx-lga1700-motherboard-pro-z690-a-wifi

[sharp pelican]

ill send him these

[sharp pelican]

gaming

[mossy venture]

Yeah 7600 is $100 cheaper than 13600k for very similar gaming performance

[sharp pelican]

and mostly anything else

[potent portal]

Updating the bios would still be recommended, for various reasons.

[sharp pelican]

ah

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7tzmZw

[sharp pelican]

hes pretty certain on intell

[mossy venture]

What's the total budget?

[sharp pelican]

around 2 to 2.5k USD

[mossy venture]

You can do a full 13600k xtx build for that

[sharp pelican]

oh fr?

[mossy venture]

Are there any other personal preferences he has?

Storage needs, aesthetics etc

Does he want an aio over an air cooler?

[sharp pelican]

aio

getting his part list rn

[mossy venture]

Rgb?

[sharp pelican]

not really a fan

[mossy venture]

Can even fit a 4090 in budget lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K4RBL9

Xtx https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WfYJyg

And with 7600 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kRjXkJ

[sharp pelican]

he said the 6950xt is fine

for him

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g7cfyg

[sharp pelican]

"I like the parts i have rn i just need a few tweaks
I dont need tons of power"

[mossy venture]

Or sub 6950xt in with the 13600k list

[sharp pelican]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yPt6DZ

heres his part list

[mossy venture]

Oh god please no

[sharp pelican]

yea ik

its rough

doesnt like the fractal focus 2

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mRf7RK

[sharp pelican]

"And also i would like to go kinda overkill on the psu with like a 1000w just bc it will support any upgrade"

[mossy venture]

Twice the storage, better aio for less than half the price

850w can run a 4090 but go for phanteks amp v2 1000w for 1000w psu

[sharp pelican]

i went with the revolution d.f for my 850w

[mossy venture]

Either amp v2 or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4v3NnQ/thermaltake-toughpower-gf-a3-1050-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-1050fnfagu-l

If he has had a windows device before he doesn't need to buy a windows key, if he does want one don't spend over $30 for one

[dusty coyote]

The problem is I can’t get it to post into bios where I can do the update

[sharp pelican]

mans said "Is there a way to like paint over the green strip? Either way ill prob get that" to the OC formula

[sharp pelican]

he just texted me and said "get 4090 waterblocked in a v1000 case"

[potent portal]

That's where the second thing I posted comes in. You can flash without turning it on.

[dusty coyote]

Oh my bad I didn’t see the second one. I’m going to try it. I appreciate it!!

[mossy venture]

I mean he could lol

[round cloud]

I rebuilt my pc with new mobo and ram

Seems to be working

Alt tabbing is slow though, will have to figure that out

[tepid crater]

I hate how the deals on Newegg change so fast

[tepid crater]

Like bro couldn't you wait a week before taking the combination deals away?

[little osprey]

Wouldn't make the deals special if they lasted long

[manic cloak]

a

[teal dome]

https://amzn.to/45hpZHS

[teal dome]

I just found it for you lmao

[manic cloak]

well

I like it

cause it's got the magnetic wifi dongle thingy

[teal dome]

Yeah it even has Bluetooth

For less price

It’s used tho

[manic cloak]

but it's used, 5.0 bt (idk if it matters), wifi 6 (idk if that matters too), but it's 15% off

[mossy venture]

Wifi 6 vs 6e likely will not make a difference

[teal dome]

I was gonna buy but don’t got money rn 😢

[manic cloak]

bt tho?

[mossy venture]

He prolly doesn't have high enough internet speed to make use of it being 6e

Bt is nice

[manic cloak]

nono

I mean like 5.0 vs 5.2 vs 5.3

is that any diff either

[mossy venture]

Oh I've absolutely no idea

[teal dome]

It’s Bluetooth 5

Wi-Fi is 6

[mossy venture]

To me Bluetooth is bluetooth

I'm assuming it's distance maybe?

Or maybe higher quality headphones/mics make use of it?

[teal dome]

Yeah

[mossy venture]

Not a clue

[manic cloak]

let me google.com

[teal dome]

Real

[manic cloak]

stronger and faster connection w bt 5.3

is all I see

does it matter if I have that magnetic wifi dongle or the ones that stick on the back of the pc/straight to the card?

[mossy venture]

Idt it matters

[teal dome]

@mossy venture

Should I buy the firecuda gen 3 ssd for 7 bucks

[mossy venture]

250gb?

[teal dome]

Ye

[mossy venture]

I mean it's $7 imo why not

Though

It does just take up another nvme slot

[teal dome]

I do one have more

I might need that for Wi-Fi tho

[mossy venture]

Yeah so I'd say no

[teal dome]

Damn alright

[mossy venture]

There was a very cheap 500gb sata I think

[teal dome]

If it’s around 15 that’s good

Because I got the same deal as the other dude

15$ off for orders above 15.1$

[mossy venture]

Yeah check the Vulcan z

[teal dome]

I already have 32gb

[mossy venture]

No ssd

[teal dome]

Same price

[mossy venture]

$7

?

[teal dome]

Yeah

[mossy venture]

What size?

[teal dome]

Ssd

[mossy venture]

I think the 480gb should be pretty cheap

[teal dome]

It’s 256gb

[mossy venture]

What capacity

Ah, wb the 480gb?

[shut rampart]

black friday is around idk if I should upgrade

[mossy venture]

A lot of good sales rn

With tiktok shop

32gb of the best ddr5 for $55

[shut rampart]

hmm what should I get then

[teal dome]

What you trynna upgrade

[shut rampart]

I already got the memory upgrade

[teal dome]

What’s your specs

[mossy venture]

What is your current specs

Including monitor

[shut rampart]

let me get the link

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J2Psh3

tbh I could return the memory if they allow it and get the tiktok shop one

tho I already used my tiktok coupons :/

[mossy venture]

Hm, id say the only worthwhile upgrade for you rn is another ssd, and that's only if you need more storage

[teal dome]

Do you want new monitor? 165 hz for around 120 with coupon it’s 80

[mossy venture]

Gpu you could, you could go to like a 7900xt with that cpu, but thats $700

[teal dome]

Man I wanna buy that monitor for 80

[mossy venture]

1440p monitor would be a good idea

[teal dome]

Such a good deal

[shut rampart]

prob

I will be fine 🙂

[mossy venture]

Can get some decent 2tb ssds for like $45 on tiktok with a new account

2tb m371 for $46

Adata premium, s tier ssd, $55 2tb

[shut rampart]

I could use one more tho I need to buy a monitor stand & sell one of my monitors for the upgrade since my desk space is small

[mossy venture]

Hey what about the 1tb Vulcan z with a $20 coupon

[mossy venture]

Doesn't make sense to get a third 1080p

[shut rampart]

can my mobo fit 2 m.2

prob am going to get 2tb m.2 or upgrade old one to the one you said

[mossy venture]

Can do 1440p UW 160 hz for $200, 34", 27" 144hz better panel IPS for $220, or $350 for 1440p 240hz IPS 27" which would be a great monitor for future upgrades, though the 240hz wouldn't be utilized at all with current setup

[mossy venture]

I'll check one sec

It has 2 slots

So unless you have an m.2 wifi card it should be fine

[shut rampart]

then I will get a one then

[mossy venture]

Though no point for gen 4 since it's not a gen 4 slot

[shut rampart]

my mobo has wifi built in but i use cable

[mossy venture]

Then might have to take out wifi card, im not sure

But both slots can fit 2280 size nvmes

[shut rampart]

idk where the 2nd one is at

also my case has led light but at the same time I try to find the port for it and plug it in but its not turning on oh well

[teal dome]

You don’t need to it has built in WiFi

[shut rampart]

so prob a storage upgrage will be fine

[mossy venture]

I think its under something

Either above the silver pcie slot, or on the bottom rightish

[shut rampart]

oh well I would do it but dont want to mess stuff up its fine I dont really need rgb

[mossy venture]

Oh no I meant the second nvme slot

I didn't read the message I pinged you on sorry @shut rampart

[manic cloak]

yk

what if I resold some things I bought off of tiktok shop to fbm

or well, built and threw it onto fbm

oh used 3060ti for 240$? simple ultra 1080p/mid 1440p

[teal dome]

Build it take pictures and post and I’m 90% sure there’s people who will ask for parts then sell them saying new

[manic cloak]

I could do that

"Ryzen 5, 1 tb M.2 Storage, 3060ti and 850w psu"

[teal dome]

Yeah

Honestly just put in budget gaming pc, and benchmarks for sure

Popular games like Fortnite and Valorant

[verbal hedge]

Hey, is anyone free to give me hand? I'm pretty much brand new to building pcs and I'm trying to build one from scratch for around 5k

[manic cloak]

live in the us? 100% you want a 5k budget? Also what resolution? (1080p, 1440p, or 4k) and do you want black or white with or without rgb?

[verbal hedge]

Canada, pretty flexible budget, 1440p and the looks don't matter much

[pseudo pollen]

Just saying, past about 2.5k on 1440p has diminishing returns

[verbal hedge]

So 4k in that budget range is a better idea?

[pseudo pollen]

I'd say spend the extra on the rest of the setup, but you can spend all of it if you want

So just asking, what are you going to be doing with the pc?

That kinda determines the parts used

[verbal hedge]

Gaming/streaming/hosting smaller servers

[pseudo pollen]

hosting smaller servers is something that I'm not sure of. But I'm pretty sure you'd want more cores/ram for that

[verbal hedge]

https://newegg.io/bdf5465

[pseudo pollen]

alright, this is the best possible gaming build available I think https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2WbXkJ

[verbal hedge]

This is what I tentatively have for now, my main concern is if everything will be compatible

[pseudo pollen]

Everything is compatible, just not very good parts, and most of them are overpriced

[verbal hedge]

Gotcha, that was another concern 😅

[pseudo pollen]

That 4090 is a good $800 more expensive then what it should be lol

[verbal hedge]

Yea, noticed that after looking at the list you sent

[pseudo pollen]

I could change a few things, like changing it to a 13900k instead.

Also, for intel, you probably want a correction frame for like $10 off amazon.

[verbal hedge]

Gotcha, would the difference be noticeable going to a 13900k?

[obsidian wigeon]

no

13900k is worse than 7800x3d in games

[pseudo pollen]

It depends, in gaming it would be worse then the 7800x3d, but for hosting servers, and video editing, it would be better

as the 7800x3d has 8 cores, while the 13900k has 24

[obsidian wigeon]

7950x3d would better fit the bill

or 7900x3d

[pseudo pollen]

I hadn't thought of that

[obsidian wigeon]

in that list everything looks ok

apart from mobo being needlessly expensive

[pseudo pollen]

It's one of the better ones iirc

[obsidian wigeon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g7XPFs

this would be better

[pseudo pollen]

To be fair, he has a 5k budget

[obsidian wigeon]

ah

then

[pseudo pollen]

I just realized, it's in cad

Crap

[verbal hedge]

Really not fixed on the 5k either, if there's room for meaningful improvement I'm not too worried

[obsidian wigeon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8TnHGP

dis

the best of the best

[pseudo pollen]

5k is actually hard to get to unless you're spending it needlessly

[obsidian wigeon]

other than if you want more storage

[pseudo pollen]

240mm cooler?

[pseudo pollen]

also this

[obsidian wigeon]

perfectly fine

7000 3d chips sips power and run cool

ah cad

still easy enough

[verbal hedge]

Still pretty sure that falls well under 5k even swapped to cad

But ya, seems like it would basically be overpriced parts to get that high

[pseudo pollen]

Custom watercooling would easily pass that threshold though

[verbal hedge]

I doubt I'll go that far hahaha

[pseudo pollen]

7950x3d is 900 cad 💀

[pseudo pollen]

Yeah, from what I've seen it's extremely difficult and almost completely useless unless you're ocing

[cyan ravine]

load up on storage

ez

[pseudo pollen]

i3 build with 240tb ssd storage

this is good I think https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/r4sZJy

just over 4k cad

you can just get more storage or a qd oled monitor with the spare money

maybe this instead (different mobo) https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Nk9Jyg

get this cooler if you wanna save a couple bucks https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/Zcgrxr/thermalright-frozen-prism-argb-704-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-frozen-prism-240-black-argb

[cyan ravine]

oh wait cad

HECK

I was trying for 4k usd

50TB of drives

[pseudo pollen]

Lol

[cyan ravine]

welp, this is funny so I'll post it
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3QP34M

[pseudo pollen]

Get those hdds

[cyan ravine]

yep

2 x20 exos

[pseudo pollen]

Cooler master $20 mouse

💀

[cyan ravine]

it's a good mouse

like legit

[pseudo pollen]

Got that windows 11 licence dvd

[cyan ravine]

yeah I ran out of ideas

[pseudo pollen]

More storage

[cyan ravine]

no more slots

[pseudo pollen]

Get a massive case and just shove hdds into it

You can never have too many

[verbal hedge]

I'm writing this down

[cyan ravine]

NO STOP

hahahaha

ignore my list

that's usd

not cad

I'm busy otherwise I'd do cad

[pseudo pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

[verbal hedge]

I should be pretty set with Invis's list, the next fun part will be putting it together without mangling everything in the process

[pseudo pollen]

Mine isn't the best, there are probably a few things that can be changed

[verbal hedge]

Much better than if I went off a recommended list online I'm sure lmao

[pseudo pollen]

putting it together shouldn't be too difficult, I believe in you

[pseudo pollen]

Lol true that

"we chose a rtx 4070 because it balances price to performance while taking only 200 watts"

In a 4k build

[verbal hedge]

Saddest part is I'd have went with it 🙃

[pseudo pollen]

Lol, glad you came here then

It's sad that people actually recommend stuff like that

[obsidian wigeon]

because they're clueless pretty much

[pseudo pollen]

Not completely, the one thing they know is that higher number=better, even though that number might be the price

[obsidian wigeon]

fair enough

those people are usually the ones to throw $300 boards into a high budget build lmao

[pseudo pollen]

This prebuilt isn't half bad https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6539488.p?skuId=6539488

[pseudo pollen]

My brother (back when I was clueless about PCs) bought a $700 build with an i3 9100f and 1660 super

Well build list anyways

[obsidian wigeon]

that isn't too bad

[pseudo pollen]

Not the worst, but the rest of the parts were... Weird, to say the least

970 evo, crappy cooler master case, z390 Mobo, Corsair vengeance 16gb kit, 750w psu

[vague oracle]

Smh, needs 15900k

Warning, scam

[little osprey]

I need some help with my pc crashing, and bsod. I'm pretty sure its ram failure but want to double check before I spend some money on new tam

[mossy venture]

What's happening

Did you recently make any changes to your ram

Also what cpu, ram, and motherboard do you have

[little osprey]

I havent. Ill have crashing randomly usually when there is a high load on the ram but this morning I got BSOD for the first time. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA I did my research and one of the causes is ram. So i am assuimg that it could be that

i7-9700f, mobo is a HP Omen board, hyperX 32GB 3200 ram

[mossy venture]

No xmp right?

[little osprey]

not that i know of, I can check in bios in a sec

[mossy venture]

Iirc the mobo doesn't support jt

No hp mobos do

Which is fine

[little osprey]

Okay, I am planning to swap the board, cpu, ram soon just need it to last a few more weeks

[mossy venture]

Without xmp, unless you've changed the ram recently I doubt that's the issue, unless it's been happening for a long time

In windows search bar, type "cmd"

Run command prompt as admin

Run the following commands

Sfc/scannow

Chkdsk

And one more I gotta copy and paste

[little osprey]

did sfc /scannow nothing wrong there

[mossy venture]

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

[little osprey]

well this time when i ran it it shows this.

its waiting for a system repair

[mossy venture]

Alright that could be good, might mean that's your issue and it's fixing it

But that could also be an issue caused by something else

[little osprey]

okay. let me try again i restarted my pc

[little osprey]

now its doing the system scan ill let you know what it says

[little osprey]

I ran everything and its fine. I did try to run memory diag, but it wont give me results

[mossy venture]

Try memtest

Have to download it

[little osprey]

alright

memtest86?

[mossy venture]

Yeah

[little osprey]

also i already checked all my temps and the are good. i went ahead and replaced thermals on cpu & gpu

i shall be back

[little osprey]

It’s still doing it’s thing

[teal dome]

W

TikTok shop actually delivered

[south cliff]

Big w

I get my nv5 tommorow

took only 2 days

for shipping

[teal dome]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rGU7En/

Should I buy? Same price as apevia prestige

[mossy venture]

Same tier

I believe

Yeah spec C tier

But not known for sure

So is the prestige though

Oh also @teal dome the BenQ monitor shows $80 before coupon for me

[teal dome]

Hmm lemme check

Bro it’s 70 after coupon

W price

I wanna buy

Any good 60$ psu

[little osprey]

So it’s still testing, but so far 3/4 have passed

It just finished no errors or issues

[mossy venture]

Nice, you're all good on ram then

[little osprey]

Any other ideas what it could. CPU runs perfectly when testing it and gpu

my next thing im guess is mobo

so i just checked my temps for it and my CPU is at 160F

thats just at 8% use

[mossy venture]

Check Temps underload

[little osprey]

It crashes before it gets to 170

[teal dome]

170 c?

God damn bro

[mossy venture]

170 f?

That's well within thermal limits, does it have a Hotspot temp or anything like that?

What are you using to view temps

[south cliff]

Why do i get low fps drops all my temps are fine i have "optimized" windows and some more stuff like that but my fps is still low i go from 240 to 120 sometimes

in fortnite and in some other games like cyberpunk and r6

[little osprey]

The built omen viewer but with the new cooler I just put on it temps are 90f

I also have core temp

Much much lower now

[stoic island]

Generally normal behavior, prob limit frame rate and use vsync or similar

[south cliff]

alright i will prob just limit framerate

[mossy venture]

Download hwinfo64

[little osprey]

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID Thats what the crash log has been saying

[minor cypress]

Can I get feedback on my computer build. This is my first ever gaming computer I am building just for gaming. Im coming from playing console all my life. I out this together from Newegg website. I haven’t bought the parts yet and waiting for feedback.

Gaming computer 🖥️

• Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini Snow White
• GPU: XFX 7900XT 20GB Merc310
• RAM: Corsair Dominator RGB DDR5 ram 32 GB (16x2)
• M/B: ASUS Rogstrix B-650A
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• Storage: 2 TB samsung 990 pro Gen 4 NVME
• PSU: Lian Li 850Watt SFX form factor
• CPU Cooler: Lian li Galahad II
• OS: Windows 11

My budget is $2,300 and this comes out to $2,274

[cyan ravine]

We can do a lot better than this

[minor cypress]

Don’t care much for Ray tracing. I just want to be able to play any game I want at 4K basically such as Cyberpunk, COD, WoW, etc. any feedback is appreciated!

[cyan ravine]

Do you want a fishtank style case? Or just an o11

[minor cypress]

I actually only bought the O11 case 😅 everything else I haven’t bought yet

I really liked the way it looked after watching lots of reviews on YouTube

[cyan ravine]

How much was it?

[minor cypress]

$112.99

[cyan ravine]

Ok sweet

Decent price then

Brb I'll clean the list up for you

You should be able to fit a 7900 xtx in quite easily

Maybe even a 4090

See how I go

[minor cypress]

Ohh ok ☺️

[cyan ravine]

What colour is the o11 mini?

White or black

[minor cypress]

@cyan ravine just want to mention I was going for a white theme build 🤙🏾 with RGB

O11 I chose white*

[cyan ravine]

Ok awesome

I'll see how I go

[flint sapphire]

👀 ooo interesting build time

[minor cypress]

😃

[lone flame]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

[minor cypress]

I’m excited I found this discord cause I had tons of questions and wanted feedback from a lot of ppl that know more about computers than I do since I’ve never had 1 of my own before

[lone flame]

That’s how I was in July, they helped me put mine together

[minor cypress]

And since it’s my first ever gaming computer. I want to make sure I get the right parts and spend my money correctly instead of putting something together mumbo jumbo lol

[lone flame]

What was your budget

[minor cypress]

$2300

[lone flame]

USD?

[minor cypress]

Yes 👍🏾

[lone flame]

If you only care about gaming and go AMD you can get the best of the best with them

Could maybe squeeze in a 4090

[cyan ravine]

@minor cypress def 4K?

[flint sapphire]

Felix has it in the bag lol

[minor cypress]

Yeah I heard AMD is the way to go.

[lone flame]

Ik I was about to say

Felix knows way more

[minor cypress]

Yes please if possible ☺️

[cyan ravine]

Ah damn 4090 is 100 over

Kekw

I'll post this for reference

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F9v4MV
I'm making another list hang tight

[minor cypress]

@cyan ravine I have the money to go over 😅

Taking a look at it now

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F24pBL

Plan b

[minor cypress]

@cyan ravine dam that plan B looking real nice !

And it’s less than what I put in my list from newegg

[cyan ravine]

If you ask @mossy venture he can show you how to do the SSD deals in that list or even improve on it a bit

there's a new shop from newegg specifically on tiktok

yes

tiktok

💀

they have some crazy prices on there tho

all sold from newegg afaik

[minor cypress]

Ohhh, I gotta find it. I just discovere Newegg 3 days ago 😂

[cyan ravine]

yea sticking purely to one place will do that, lots of driven up price cos not always the best deals

[minor cypress]

I have the app

[cyan ravine]

sweet

it's like

65 but $20 coupon

so $45 for 1tb

and the p44 pro is way better than a 990 pro

by a mile

[minor cypress]

@cyan ravine so would you recommend I buy everything pcpartpicker? 🤔

[cyan ravine]

pcpartpicker finds pretty much all the best sale prices

it's very thorough so yeah, I would recommend

they have links straight to the items with the prices in question

[minor cypress]

Awesome, thank you a lot Felix!

[cyan ravine]

all g

[minor cypress]

I’m gonna save both those links to Plan A and B

[cyan ravine]

gonna be a hella nice pc, I just built another one of my own in an air mini

almost same build, all white

bit more serious tho, 4 radiators and a custom loop

[minor cypress]

Oh dam yeah that’s serious lol

[cyan ravine]

mainly cos I like peace and quiet, as well as overclocking

that build will be solid tho, not really loud at all if you set things up properly

[flint sapphire]

I went ahead and built a worse value one

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WzspBL

[cyan ravine]

wait where'd you see the taichi

it didn't show up for me

weirdge

[flint sapphire]

Sorted by value black/white

[cyan ravine]

it's not better, but I was gonna list it as an option in my lists if it was there

[minor cypress]

Yeah that taicihi is hella nice

[cyan ravine]

let me tidy up mine rq

[minor cypress]

I like that build too! Lots of white themed parts

I’m gonna save that as Plan C too

[cyan ravine]

[flint sapphire]

[cyan ravine]

ohhhh

[minor cypress]

@cyan ravine question, can I change the RAM to the Corsair Dominator white platinum because I like the way it looks aesthetically. Would that be a problem?? 🤔

[cyan ravine]

wait I see what happened

i fixed it

plan c
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DPLcHG

[cyan ravine]

so I have a few good reasons why I didn't put dominator

#1, corsair typically, and still continues to put weird design choices into their ram line up

[flint sapphire]

It’s prob cl 36

[cyan ravine]

locking the ram chips down or putting in bad chips

the biggest one however is price

it's just so expensive and arguably the same or maybe worse

like

a good dominator kit for 32gb? it's likely the same as a great 64gb kit

in terms of price

it's kinda needless spending for an aesthetic

my advice is purely optional tho

but ask away if you want a dominator recommendation

[minor cypress]

@cyan ravine yes May I ask for recommendation on dominator 😅

[flint sapphire]

They are pretty

[minor cypress]

I just love the aesthetic more over the T Force which I know is kinda weird but I like it lol

[flint sapphire]

I do like tridents rgb tho also

[minor cypress]

But price wise I do understand where you coming from @cyan ravine

[cyan ravine]

oml these are so expensive

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qBBG3C/corsair-dominator-platinum-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6200-cl36-memory-cmt32gx5m2x6200c36w

[minor cypress]

Man I’m glad I found this discord channel, cause you guys are teaching me a lot. Idk crap about computers and I’m learning right now as we type

[cyan ravine]

that's good man

I should also forewarn

corsair's icue software

it can be extremely hit or miss

[minor cypress]

Understood

[cyan ravine]

It may look nice but like, in my experience it's very flakey and doesn't always work

corsair ram also has the highest rma rate I swear I've seen of any pc part

like ever

thanks ddr4 vengeance

[minor cypress]

What does RMA mean? I seen that word before

Return malfunction?

[cyan ravine]

return authorisation

I forgot the M meaning

but it's basically a warranty claim for malfunctioning hardware yeah

[cyan ravine]

so for the same price, here's 64gb of a better kit that's also faster

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FTMMnQ/teamgroup-t-create-expert-64-gb-2-x-32-gb-ddr5-6000-cl34-memory-ctcwd564g6000hc34bdc01

and also white

just to shed light on what I mean by expensive

[minor cypress]

Oh wow

[cyan ravine]

you're basically paying a full corsair tax

lol

[minor cypress]

This is making more sense now to go with what you recommended in plan A and B RAMS lol

[cyan ravine]

ye, that's a nice and cheap white rgb kit

good chips

that kit also overclocks well so it'll resell at a good price

you just need to say it has "hynix" in it

immediately worth a lot more lol

I've used a few teamgroup kits, they're quite nice tbh, and it'll work with your mobo rgb software

[minor cypress]

Man, I appreciate the time you took to not only teach me but to put together a build @cyan ravine . You the man my dude 🤙🏾. Mind if I add you in case I have questions down the road?

[cyan ravine]

yea sure, feel free to ask in here as well if you have other questions, and make sure people know you already own the case if it concerns the build

I'm not the only one in here with good info

[lone flame]

Asrock’s rma is bs

They never emailed me back

That was at like the end of august lol

[cyan ravine]

Sounds like gigabyte

Or acer

...msi...

NZXT H9 Elite contains the vertical kit no ?

nd yes I would like to have your options of course. I don't exceed 3k5 tax inc

the aio isn't needed, but recommended for a 13700kf when you're doing multi core loads

there's also other case options, if you don't like the look of the g360a

I was gonna buy my pc, and my car killed itself THAT NIGHT

now I gotta wait to see if i can fix it or I gotta buy a new car

[tight bluff]

ok

[stoic island]

@mossy venture know anything about cc360? Looks pretty good for 75cad, 3 included fans, 360mm front rad support

[little osprey]

Not real

[stoic island]

You're not real

[little osprey]

[stoic island]

You haven't played any amx, you wouldn't get it

[little osprey]

I have

[mossy venture]

could also do this btw https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/pY3RKX

[mossy venture]

one sec ill take a look

[little osprey]

AMX M4 is silly

[mossy venture]

idt it supports 360

oh wait

front mount it does maybe?

[tight bluff]

merci

[mossy venture]

if you have any questions or want any changes lmk, id be happy to answer any

[stoic island]

Specs and promotional images say yes

[mossy venture]

ah

it looks decent, i think id take g300a over it though

[stoic island]

Sn850x 2tb for 125 cad is kinda neat but not necessary

[stoic island]

Yea ofc but it's like 60% of the cost

[mossy venture]

ah is g300a inflated that much in canada?

[stoic island]

Cc360 is 80cad, g360a is 130cad

[mossy venture]

nah g300a

$100, thats insane for that case

[stoic island]

G300a is nice but no 360mm top mount so I don't think it's that much of an improvement over cc360 assuming cc360 is average in terms of thermals

[mossy venture]

i think g300a would be a bit better with thermals, and overall quality, but yeah $25 more isn't a small difference

[humble garnet]

yo guys what do you think of this build

budget is 1500 euro

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g3V4MV

[mossy venture]

@humble garnet

[humble garnet]

alr ty

[mossy venture]

Also if you have tiktok

You can get the p41 plus for like $45 after the new user coupon on tiktok shop

It's sold by newegg through tiktok

If you make or have a second account, can get really cheap good ddr5

Like $55 for a 6000mhz kit with worse timings, but if you're just running expo it doesn't matter much

[humble garnet]

alr

thx
