[south cliff]

im going to be trying rt

i would run like 45-60 on ray tracing medium

in cyberpunk

[potent portal]

Yeah that game waaaay prefers nvidia

[south cliff]

im going to proboably run some tests run the 3090 when i get it to hopefully see some diffrences

[potent portal]

Just make sure to get a 3090 with triple 8 pin power

dual 8 pins are nerfed

[south cliff]

its the ftw3

[brittle spindle]

yo how do i add the discount code?

[potent portal]

All the ftw3 models are triple 8 so you're good there

[south cliff]

whould i give it the 8 pin plus 8 in or just give them all seprete ones?

[potent portal]

Ideally 3 separate

[south cliff]

okim running the 8 pin plus 8 pin through a cable extention on my rx 6800 rn i know thats bad to do

[potent portal]

The 6800 doesn't use quite as much power so it's a little more acceptable

The 3090 on the other hand can push 450W+

[south cliff]

damn

[obsidian wigeon]

sell the 6800 n get psu

profit

[south cliff]

i paid 400 for it

[mossy venture]

On the front page there should be some coupons you can claim

[brittle spindle]

thanmks

[brittle spindle]

hey btw is there any micro atx cases

i could fit in the budget

I feel like a matx mb in that case is gonna look awkward

[mossy venture]

It should look fine, but one sec

[brittle spindle]

i mean if you think so then ill leave it

[mossy venture]

That would be fine if it fits everything

And its up to you, but a lot of people do matx in atx cases

G300a is also on the smaller end of atx

Also https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MBjRsY/bitfenix-nova-mesh-m-argb-microatx-mini-tower-case-nsm-150-kkgsk-3a

[brittle spindle]

yea ill just keep it, i also added some fan splitters just in case because there is about 5 fans in the build

[mossy venture]

Sounds good, and yeah fan splitters will be handy

[brittle spindle]

alright thanks man, also any reccomdnation for an led strip?

rbg led strip*

[teal dome]

Look tech deals

There’s an offer I think

[mossy venture]

Yep you're right

Like $2.69 after shipping or smthn?

[brittle spindle]

yoo thats wild

thanks yall

[glad swallow]

This is a steal no?

[high field]

why is my new graphics card not recognized my monitar

just keeps saying no singal and wont boot on

[potent portal]

Clear your cmos maybe

?cmos

[jolly river]

How to clear CMOS (works for AMD and Intel)
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025368/processors.html

[potent portal]

And make sure the monitor is on the right input

And make double sure the power is in fully to the GPU

[potent portal]

No that's about right, they're selling about $425-450 on ebay and that's including fees, so without fees $400 is fair

[high field]

let me clarify. the monitar works and then once i put it on sleep mode the monitar wont come back on until i restart

@potent portal

[potent portal]

Oh in that case

?ddu

[brittle spindle]

yo btw will i need a rgb hub of any sort to work the cpu fan(different brand), case fans (two different brands), led strip

https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-11-Port-Extension-Perfect-RGB-12V/dp/B09K6BKWWV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=412XMTTCXHBZ&keywords=led%2Bhub&qid=1700542007&sprefix=led%2Bhub%2B%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-3&th=1

if i buy something like that can i connect a 3 pin to the 4 pins?

[potent portal]

3 pin and 4 pin RGB are not compatible in any way

They run on different voltage and signal patterns

[brittle spindle]

it would just fry it

[potent portal]

Yes

The LEDs for sure, if not the motherboard

[brittle spindle]

motherboard as a 4 pin

and 3 3 pin

3 case fans can get diasy chained

[potent portal]

You can usually safely chain about 5 fans, maybe 6 depending

[brittle spindle]

from diff brands?

[potent portal]

Yep

If it uses that standard 3 pin header then it takes the same standard signal

[thorny flint]

Is evga gd600 good

[potent portal]

Which one, there's a few versions

2017, 2019, V3, R3, V, R1, all different GD versions

[glad swallow]

A 4070 is a 4070 so if I can save 168 bucks still $168

[potent portal]

I never said it was bad, go for it

I saw some used 4070 ti's for the same price on ebay though

[thorny flint]

2017

[potent portal]

C tier

[mossy venture]

$400 for a 4070 sounds like a great price/perf with current pricing

[thorny flint]

Also is there a cheap mobo for ryzen 3600 and wifi

[potent portal]

Wait... no it's B tier

It was 2019 that was C

[thorny flint]

Ok thx

If a mobo says “ac” does it mean it come with wifi

[mossy venture]

Yeah

If you can buy off tiktok b450 ds3h wifi I think is cheap but there might be cheaper

Not on tiktok I'd have to check

[thorny flint]

Would this be good for cheap movo too? ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard https://a.co/d/1Vmn5FD

[mossy venture]

But should be around $80 for any b450 with wifi

I'd do this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kRTzK8/msi-b450m-pro-vdh-max-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b450m-pro-vdh-max

[thorny flint]

Ok

[mossy venture]

Same one on tt shop would be like $52 or so after coupon?

[thorny flint]

Ok thank you!

[zenith cargo]

are the arctic p12 max good?

[obsidian wigeon]

no

overpriced for what you get

[potent portal]

They're loud, which takes away one of the main reasons we recommended the normal p12 fans

[leaden mauve]

They bring a lot of airflow, theyre worth it if that's what you need

[pseudo pollen]

I have them and they're only louder at higher rpms, if you run them at the p12's max rpm (around 1500 or 1800 rpm I forgot) they're almost silent

[potent portal]

So then why pay more for them if you're only going to run them at lower rpm anyway

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[lyric thistle]

So at that same room are the normal ones the same loudness

[zenith cargo]

$10 for a fan that reaches 3000 rpm is overpriced?

[obsidian wigeon]

in terms of noise

it's loud

but if you specifically want high rpm, it's not a bad deal

[zenith cargo]

i just want airflow

[zenith cargo]

This guy says the kraken elite cools his 5800x3d fine

[potent portal]

He doesn't say what size but I'm guessing it's the 360mm. And that review reads like a bot wrote it.

[zenith cargo]

yea its the 360mm

[rough loom]

Ive got a 280mm Kraken (the older model) on my 5800x, works just fine

I see no reason why the 360 wouldnt be a solid choice as well with the newer design

[obsidian wigeon]

it does work fine

problem is just value

[cyan ravine]

It's expensive asetek

And middling performance

And if you're going to change the fans then you may half address the performance but it* makes it even more so expensive

So there's just no point

7950x3d, 5800x3d I would use only dual towers now, with the knowledge I'm armed with, especially 7000x3d

You can do basically any cooler and get almost the exact same result on a 7000x3d

[gentle pollen]

Man I am excited for Black Friday.

[vague oracle]

industrial noctuas

[pseudo pollen]

3x the price

[gentle pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-confuse-confusion-im-confused-im-so-confused-gif-26555666

[high field]

That didn’t seem to fix the issue yesterday

[tepid crater]

I've been on Newegg for an hour now trying to find a power supply+ 2tb SSD combo that isn't 400 bucks and I'm failing lol

I gotta be missing something with the black Friday deals

[cyan ravine]

how much did you wanna spend

cos unless that psu is a 1500W then 400 for both is ridiculous

[tepid crater]

A 750w would be more than enough

But I was hoping to come across another $200 deal like I did awhile back but I haven't found one yet

[cyan ravine]

probably looking at about 180-ish or less

no I can beat 200

easy

what cpu and gpu aare you using

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2KQBTY

that's $175 and both solid

[tepid crater]

I gotta basic batch bronze level gpu and a 1070ti 😅. Which is also starting to get long in the fang and I've been looking to replace

[cyan ravine]

oh then this is fine

if you're buyiing up to 750w then I would gauge your purchase based on what you intend to replace the gpu/cpu with

[tepid crater]

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7600 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x8 ATX Video Card RX7600 CL 8GO

Is the GPU ive been eyeballing

But I need the GPU and SSD first

[cyan ravine]

what cpu are you planning to run with this

cos really any desktop cpu in existence could run on a 750w with that gpu

[tepid crater]

I've got a I5-105000 or something like that atm

[cyan ravine]

10500

ok you could do this on a 550w

do this

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J3JRz6

[tepid crater]

I mean for 175 I'll just spend the extra couple bucks and get the 750 then not worry about it ever again lol

That would just leave a new GPU and monitor cause lawd I swear both of mine are starting to leak oil they're so old

[cyan ravine]

If you want to sure, but like

you wouldn't even be using half

maybe not even a third of the psu with a 10500 and 7600

better to pocket that and save it for when you upgrade the lot later imo

[tepid crater]

I'm aware. But i plan to upgrade my various other bits a piece at a time. I gotta space it all out based on my income, so if I can buy something like a good PSU once for a little extra and not have to worry about it later, I'd prefer to do that

[cyan ravine]

maybe go up to a better gpu then for a bit more in that case

you'd have leftover budget for it

e.g https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KW68M2G/

$370

or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8HBG3C/asrock-radeon-rx-6700-xt-12-gb-challenger-d-video-card-rx6700xt-cld-12g

[tepid crater]

I'm still learning about the various gpus and how they compare. I just know the one I've been looking at is equal to a 2070super

[cyan ravine]

the 6800 is equal to like

3070ti, 2080ti on steroids

the 6700xt is 3070-ish

[tepid crater]

I see

I've just been eyeing the 2070super and its equals cause with the games I play it'll really be all I need for awhile. Plus I don't even have a monitor that'll make good use of it yet, which is why I haven't bothered.

[cyan ravine]

how much would you spend on the monitor

[tepid crater]

Not sure yet. I'm still looking up details about them and important aspects. I want a 27 inch. Last one I looked at was around the 180 mark

[cyan ravine]

hm

27 inch I would consider 1440p

and a 7600 kinda doesn't scratch up to that

the other gpus I recommended do

and a good 27" you'd be probably looking near mid 200's for a solid one

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TXTzK8/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27aq1a-270-2560x1440-170-hz-monitor-vg27aq1a

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JPrYcf/gigabyte-g27q-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-g27q

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/w44Zxr/hp-omen-27q-270-2560-x-1440-165-hz-monitor-780h5aa

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zxpNvj

reason I push this is because 1080p at 27 inches looks quite blurry at normal distances

so I'd suggest going with a 24" for 1080p or go up to 1440p if you want a nice experience

[cyan ravine]

nah

wouldn't

VA

[tepid crater]

This is just the one I threw in my wishlist forever ago

[cyan ravine]

and VA is not the main issue, it's that it's cheap VA

it won't be good at all

[tepid crater]

You said mid 200s lol

[cyan ravine]

and it's 1440p so a 7600 I would definitely not do

[cyan ravine]

for good 1440p yes

and then I found a tuf one above for 189

which I believe is good

[mossy venture]

If you're able to buy off tiktok shop, 2tb p41 plus, m371, or p34a60

[mossy venture]

https://innocn.com/products/innocn-27-computer-monitor-refurbished-27g1r?variant=44160752582880

That would be a better choice

[tepid crater]

You know what's funny is I looked at that earlier

I've never heard the name before though so wasn't sure

[cyan ravine]

high input lag

wouldn't

[tepid crater]

That ASUS TUFF is 188 at best buy...that's not bad

[cyan ravine]

yes and it's ips

but a 7600 wouldn't fair well with any 1440p display in modern games*, just a warning

upgrade to a 6700xt at a minimum if you want a good 27" imo

[mossy venture]

Oh this is nice https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcxRsY/lg-27gn800-b-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-27gn800-b

[cyan ravine]

that's a decent one yeah

[mossy venture]

Prolly gonna be better deals on bf/cm though, monitors one of the main things that goes on sale

[cyan ravine]

what is bf cm

you keep saying it

christmas

boyfriend?

[strong raft]

Bad techie

[mossy venture]

Black Friday cyber monday

[strong raft]

Cyber monday, black ftiday

[cyan ravine]

oh

man I don't live where you guys use these things

[mossy venture]

Smh Felix just move

[tepid crater]

frantically scribbles notes

So many monitor options...

[mossy venture]

Lg is best deal right now not including tiktok shop

Anything I recommend on tiktok is sold and shipped by neweg btw

[tepid crater]

I mean i like LG products in general so no complaints here

[mossy venture]

You could get the same one for $150 after a coupon with tt shop btw

[tepid crater]

I don't even have tiktok

[cyan ravine]

if it saves you $35 it's a little bit worth it

[tepid crater]

I wish I had the extra money, ive only got enough for the PSU and SSD regardless

[cyan ravine]

you could chuck that straight at the 6700xt

[tepid crater]

The biggest thing right now is need vs want. I need the psu and ssd since my psu is on the fritz and my ssd is fried

[mossy venture]

Though also

Rm750e is like $60 on tiktok after coupon, if not less

A tier psu, can run a 4090 on it

Then there's good quality 2tb ssds for like $40-50 after coupon

And 1tb for around $25-30

[tepid crater]

No shot?

[mossy venture]

I got one of the ssds myself, p41 plus for $34 and some change after tax

But that was a better deal than normal and didn't last long

Now it's like $45 after coupon before tax, but one sec I'll send a few screenshots of options

[mossy venture]

P41 plus is the best among the three

And then there's a 20% coupon

Maybe a 25% I'm not sure

[tepid crater]

The MSI spatim is the one I've been looking at. 79 on Amazon

[mossy venture]

Solid ssd, though I think p3 2tb is on sale for $67 rn

For same perf

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dBBG3C/crucial-p3-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-ct2000p3ssd8

[tepid crater]

Wait so do I have to register as a seller to buy stuff?

[mossy venture]

No

Just gotta make an account

[mossy venture]

Yep!

Which means after that 30% off coupon it'll be $42 for you

[tepid crater]

That plus the corsair 750 come sto 109...holy shizniy

Let me check for monitors lol

[mossy venture]

As a side note

Order them separately, you should have more coupons you can claim on the front page

[tepid crater]

I've got a 30% order coupon atm

[mossy venture]

Up to $20 off tho, which $18 will come off the ssd

Should have another 30%, 25%, 20%, and 15%

Yoooo

That's among the best 1440p 144-180hz monitors

Would be $170 after coupon

[strong raft]

Haha the Pro version. Even $220 would be great. Wow! Ok who says I should maybe sell the 12600K & get 12700K instead, for only gaming& some streaming? --- don't worry Rommy, 12400 isn't being sold

[tepid crater]

Mines showing 249 before coupon

[mossy venture]

ah alr

[mossy venture]

eh i say no

[tepid crater]

@mossy venture after coupon brings it down to 199

[mossy venture]

ah there might be better options then

the lg one i linked earlier is on tt shop as well

i think for 185 before coupon

so around 140 or so after

[tepid crater]

Try 245

Either way I'll get the psu and ssd. Worry about the monitor later

[mossy venture]

Any of these three would be good

[south cliff]

ok i gopt the 3090 but i only had 2 8pin

[tepid crater]

I'll prpbly grab the LG or gigabyte tbh. After looking at it I recognize the LG monitor now, my buddy has one and it's nice

[mossy venture]

Eh brand doesn't matter too much, but the acer is the worst of those three

[south cliff]

will it hurt the gpu if i only have 2 8 pins instead of 3

[mossy venture]

Some

Ocing mainly

[south cliff]

like i have all 3 plugged in

just i had to use a 8 pin that was on a 8 pin if you know what i mean

all 3 are not on there own 8 pin

[mossy venture]

Ohhh

I thought you meant the model was 2x8pin

Nah that's fine, but if you can change it down the line I would

The transients are no joke, putting too much stress on one cable isn't the best idea with a 3090

[strong raft]

Ah look into Lunar's undervolting guide & then I wouldn't worry about not using a full 3rd "cable". 3 cables to my 3080 though, cleaner than seeing the curve of a pigtail is mainly why I did.

[mossy venture]

Fair

[crude onyx]

Think Va panel at !70HZ is worth over IPS at 144hz?

[mossy venture]

depends on the monitors

[crude onyx]

ASUS TUF VG27AQA1A vs LG 27GL83A-B

[mossy venture]

second all the way

[crude onyx]

apparently no one in English reviewed the VG27AqA1A

alright then

thx

oh son of a: the M27q is cheaper now!!!

after I bought the lg

[south cliff]

Can I kill it if I don’t use the full 3rd cable

[high field]

Why is it when I shut my pc off and I when I go to turn it back on the pc turns on but the monitor doesn’t turn on and I have to click the restart button on my pc for to event turn back on

[mossy venture]

Update bios

Or roll back a version

[high field]

I did that already one of the first things I did

[south cliff]

Is it fine for the gpu to run 77-80 degrees?

those are the temps i get whil eplaying half life alyx on my vr

i might switch it down to 120 fps instead of 144fps

[mossy venture]

Not awful but not the best

Though with a 3090 isn't surprising

Check vram Temps

[south cliff]

how

hwinfo?

[cyan ravine]

Hotspot/vram temps are the only temps worth checking on a gpu

[south cliff]

hot spot max was 88

[south cliff]

where are vrm temps

[cyan ravine]

Vram

Memory junction

[south cliff]

mem 1 mem 2 mem 3?

[cyan ravine]

If you have 3 say all 3

Lmao

Must be an evga

[south cliff]

sorry

it is

[cyan ravine]

Icx has multiple vram sensors

Evga thing

[south cliff]

hotteset was 76

[cyan ravine]

That all sounds fine

[south cliff]

bro i cant even spell

ok i was just wondering i thought i t ran a bit cooler its not even a 100 percent

[cyan ravine]

Ampere throttle down iirc is 83C

It's a bit on the edge but

It will automatically*** clock down if it hits it

[south cliff]

well its more like 73-76 now

sometimes 77-78

[naive flint]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yTdtQP What gpu should i get

[cyan ravine]

That's normal

[south cliff]

ok im pretty sure the 12600k is a bottleneck

[cyan ravine]

You could do a wayyyy better build for that budget

[south cliff]

or a little bit of one

[naive flint]

yeah this is my first time building

whatelse could I get

[cyan ravine]

Alr what's your full budget

[naive flint]

Mayb like 1800-2000

[cyan ravine]

I'll make a much faster pc

Is this for games only

[naive flint]

yeah

[cyan ravine]

Alr

With monitor mouse and keeb?

[mossy venture]

Do you own any of this

[naive flint]

I do not

[cyan ravine]

?

Wifi?

[naive flint]

Just monitor

[mossy venture]

Ok ye can do a lot better

[cyan ravine]

Alr I'll look

[naive flint]

I'll probably still use my old mouse & keyboard for now

[south cliff]

oh my case isnt even fully on

thye front panel

[mossy venture]

Also follow up question

Would you be willing to order anything off tiktok shop? It would be shipped and sold by newegg

Also POG rank up

[naive flint]

I could yeah

[mossy venture]

Ok dope, few min

Felix got you with the rest of the list, I'll grab you tiktok parts

[manic cloak]

bacca or felix quick question, what's the best 7800xt on newegg https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=7800xt

[naive flint]

alr thanks

[manic cloak]

like for cooling, cheapest one if you could

[cyan ravine]

@naive flint
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lqdfh3

@mossy venture can you check tiktok for discounts on this to get under 2k

Like M27Q-P should be $60 off of the total

It should get quite a bit under 2K with tiktok deals, but this is basically as good as your budget could possibly get

Probably have some extra left over to bump up to 850W on the psu

[mossy venture]

Two options on ram

There's additional coupons you get to bring prices down further

Might have to use multiple accounts to get as low prices as possible

[cyan ravine]

Yeah most of that should adjust it down to well under 2K

[mossy venture]

I wouldnt get that 27q tho, one sec

[cyan ravine]

The only thing that would improve this list is honestly a 4090 @naive flint and those are 2K+ on their own rn

I know

It's a placeholder

Cos I can't see tiktok

[mossy venture]

Either of these two

[cyan ravine]

What about m27qp

QP is like, the best 170hz period lol

[mossy venture]

Fractal design something or other mini white is also relatively well priced

[cyan ravine]

Pop mini

?

[mossy venture]

Yes thanks

[cyan ravine]

Isn't that itx

[mossy venture]

Nah matx

Pop air mini

[cyan ravine]

Ah

[south cliff]

golly the rtx 3090 can heat up some glass

[mossy venture]

Did you check vram temps?

[cyan ravine]

The cheapest. Don't hesitate like last time

[south cliff]

yeah they were all good according to felix

[mossy venture]

Dope

[manic cloak]

alr alr, cause i'm trying to figure out how the cash back works

does it calculate before or after tax?

[cyan ravine]

Idk

I'm not American

[manic cloak]

;-;

[mossy venture]

Before

[south cliff]

but im going to turn down the index to 120 fps and turn down the graphics so my room doesent go to 90 degrees

[cyan ravine]

At 1080p probs, or really light games

Like overwatch for example

[south cliff]

what about 1440p

[cyan ravine]

Not really

[south cliff]

ok well i guess cyberpunk is just a cpu intensive game

[cyan ravine]

Oh yeah the new update made it so

[mossy venture]

12100f tuned b die is fine with 3090

[cyan ravine]

Like grossly cpu bound

[mossy venture]

Wait Vader what ram you got

[south cliff]

we dont talk about ram

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[south cliff]

but 32gb of 3000mhz trident z rgb

4x8

[mossy venture]

Ah

[manic cloak]

qick or reference/sapphires are tied rn

[cyan ravine]

Sapphire

[south cliff]

thats what i prob need to upgrade next

[cyan ravine]

Pulse #1

[manic cloak]

what about compared to merc?

[cyan ravine]

But it has to be cheapest or +$10

Still pulse

[manic cloak]

alr

[cyan ravine]

Pulse then merc

Pulse is the most user friendly

[manic cloak]

considering pulse is 509.99 + 10$ coupon

[cyan ravine]

That's fine

Worth it

[manic cloak]

user friendly?

[cyan ravine]

Yes

They bake 1000 features in I've never seen on an nvidia card that just make them so easy to work with

100% would recommend sapphire

They use ptm7950 for paste

Proper paid and shrink wrapped cabling

Easy access plugs and pcie slot

Removable fans without taking the whole thing apart

Software controllable bios toggle so no need to open up the pc or reach out the back

Mobo sync for rgb on the card

The list goes on and on

I could talk all day about this

When you pay extra for a sapphire you GET the extra you paid for

Not just fanfare like a strix for example

[manic cloak]

ah

ngl though

I wanna say but this card doesn't light up or anything

[cyan ravine]

Still recommending it

[manic cloak]

but ya that's just a preference thing

[cyan ravine]

Sapphire and xfx are the goat amd brands

ASRock as well whenever an oc formula exists

[manic cloak]

I mean what's the point of a 3 fan card

does that mean any better cooling?

[cyan ravine]

On a 7800xt no

It's excessive

[south cliff]

im pretty sure something else was running ion the background when i closed half life it was still at 52 percent

gpu utilization

[cyan ravine]

Anyway good luck I'm out

Busy today

[manic cloak]

oh

I was gonna ask about the refrub 6950's

oh well

nvm oos

[verbal hedge]

@pseudo pollen Hey, just wanted to say thanks for helping me out with a part list a while back. Finally got home and set it up, only issue was a faulty power button on the case so I'm taking that as a win hahaha

[pseudo pollen]

oh yeah, no problem man, glad to help

[ember sierra]

Hey guys, I was asked to help in making a gaming PC. My directions are a max. of $1.5k for the PC and max $300 for the monitor, but less is also appreciated.
This is what I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/scGw7R
Would love to hear some opinions/thoughts.
It’s for the American market and I‘m German so I pretty much only went off of pcpp‘s listed prices which should be fine, right?

[mossy venture]

There's a German pcpartpicker

What are you using the pc for?

And is this list for an upgrade from your existing pc?

[ember sierra]

It’s for an American person. I know there is German pcpp

It’s purely for gaming and entirely new

[mossy venture]

Ahh ok

[ember sierra]

There’s nothing to be upgraded

[mossy venture]

Ok then I'd change it up a bit

Would the person be willing to buy anything off of tiktok shop? Shipped and sold by newegg

[ember sierra]

that I do not know without asking

[mossy venture]

Could you ask? Tiktok has some great deals atm

Would make a pretty significant performance difference, could fit an XTX in budget

[ember sierra]

Interesting, can you tell me more

[mossy venture]

Yeah, so newegg currently has a promotion for up to 25% off items listed on tiktok

And in addition, tiktok has coupons that give you up to $50 off

[ember sierra]

Oh wow

[mossy venture]

So you can get a 7600 for $150

I'll grab you a list, but I got some questions first

Are aesthetics a factor? Do they need wifi?

Does size of the case matter?

[ember sierra]

Aesthetics aren‘t too important. Like, the North isn’t really necessary, I don’t think. Regarding wifi, I’m actually unsure, which ik makes it a bit vague.
Case size doesn’t matter

[mossy venture]

Alright that's enough to work with, I'll grab two options for mobo one w/o wifi one with

The only thing that isn't on tiktok shop is the gpu https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XzCKcH

For monitor either https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TdbRsY/hp-omen-27qs-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-omen-27qs or I'll grab a couple options from tiktok

[mossy venture]

This would be good

[ember sierra]

Just asked, WiFi isn’t needed

[mossy venture]

Then b650 hdv is great

Also as a heads up, those prices are estimates. It'll actually likely be cheaper

[ember sierra]

And tiktok thingies are fine if it’s Newegg lol

[ember sierra]

Yup I’ve made the same experiences in Germany

[mossy venture]

Actually can just about fit xtx in budget not with tiktok
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WLjhKX

Just more expensive and case is a bit worse

Also as a heads up, might need to use a few different accounts to get as low prices as possible on tiktok

[ember sierra]

Huh okay…

[mossy venture]

And probably separate orders for a lot of the parts, since the coupons are limited to at most $50 off

[mossy venture]

Basically every account gets a 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% off coupon up to $50 off

[ember sierra]

I see

[south cliff]

This is what it looks like I’m going to try and get cable extension

Took my original black extensions out

[mossy venture]

Those 8 pins look horrifying

[ember sierra]

Well, thanks for your help @mossy venture

[mossy venture]

Np! If you've any questions feel free to ping me

[south cliff]

Bruh there is nothing I can do

[ember sierra]

Thanks!

[south cliff]

I was just trying to get it in there and working

[mossy venture]

No I get it lol, just temporary anyways

[south cliff]

You don’t wanna see the cable management on the back

[mossy venture]

Mine is worse I promise you

[south cliff]

It’s the push down and screw

[mossy venture]

Including in the front

Same

[south cliff]

I think I broke the from led light argb cable or it’s unplugged one of those but to lazy to check rn

[high field]

Why is it when I shut my pc off and I when I go to turn it back on the pc turns on but the monitor doesn’t turn on and I have to click the restart button on my pc for to event turn back on

[south cliff]

Do you mean how they look or just how I don’t have 3 8 pins and have to use spider

Spliter

[high field]

Anyone know how I can fix it

[mossy venture]

Tried clearing cmos?

It could be boot priority too maybe

[high field]

I’ve done that

[mossy venture]

Sorry for not responding when you asked earlier

Also try disabling xmp

[high field]

All good

[mossy venture]

Could possibly be a faulty stick

[high field]

How do u do this

[mossy venture]

Well you probably didn't turn xmp on in the first place then, which is a separate issue

It's in bios, it enables ram to run at its rated speed

I'd check boot priority while you're in bios too and make sure it's set right

[high field]

Oh yeah I did change it then

It was only running at 4000 something so I switch it to 6000

[manic cloak]

@mossy venture hey quick question, 451.37 good price for a sapphire pulse?

7800xt version

[mossy venture]

4800 prolly. Could try disabling it and see if that fixes it

[mossy venture]

Yes, I'm assuming after tax?

[manic cloak]

mhm

or 113 per month

[mossy venture]

Also

My old pc did the same thing like 1/5 boots. It'd stay at a black screen and I'd have to turn it off to fix it

I was told bios was the issue I just never bothered to fix it

[high field]

Pretty sure I did because I switch it to 6000 what it’s meant to be at

[high field]

Yeah mine won’t turn on endless I click the reboot button on my pc

[mossy venture]

No yeah, I mean switching it back to 4800

[high field]

Oh

[mossy venture]

Just to check if that helps

If it does could be a faulty ram stick

[south cliff]

wallpaper engine use about 40 percent of the 3090 that could be why it was running kinda hot

[manic cloak]

would I even need a gpu stand for my 7800xt sapphire pulse

[mossy venture]

Wallpaper engine is funny

[mossy venture]

Eh

[manic cloak]

I was planning on getting one for the merc

[mossy venture]

I haven't used one in the three years I've had my 3060 ti, but the other argument is you're spending $460 on a gpu

[manic cloak]

cause it was a long ol card

[mossy venture]

So why risk it

[manic cloak]

450

[mossy venture]

Can get one for like $10

[manic cloak]

I did the math wrong

[manic cloak]

ya it's 10$

[mossy venture]

Or just diy one

[manic cloak]

pop figure 💀

[mossy venture]

Lowkey

Wait

You gave me an idea

I'm going to see if I can use a funko pop for mine

[manic cloak]

ive seen people use pop figures or even random legos

[mossy venture]

I have like three I hope one is the right size

I'm checking this rn

My Deadpool one might fit

[manic cloak]

oh?

[mossy venture]

Sorry my cat got outside and it's raining so he was very unhappy I'm back now

It would fit but with the box, which would block airflow

So prob not

I have a beerus that might

Nahhh too tall, but I can have it sitting next to the gpu

Or on the gpu

[high field]

@mossy venture it didn’t fix the issue

[mossy venture]

You checked boot priority?

[high field]

Which setting is this in the bios

Cause I did change it back to 4800

[mossy venture]

What brand mobo again?

[mossy venture]

Beerus is now trapped inside my pc

[high field]

Msi b650 tomahawk

[mossy venture]

After turning pc on spam I think f11

If not f12

[wary karma]

Hey guys so I have a quick question. I have a 3900x clocked at 4.4ghz all core and a 2080 super at 1080p 144hz and 32gb ddr4 3666 ram. I recently purchased a 4080 and im most games im only getting about 15 to 30 frames higher. Could I be bottlenecking my 4080 with the 3900x? And if so should I upgrade my cpu to a ryzen 5800x3d or go to a 7800x3d?

[mossy venture]

3900x is certainly a bottleneck

However are you still playing at 1080p?

[wary karma]

Yes im still playing at 1080p

[mossy venture]

If so, I would recommend a cpu upgrade as well as a monitor upgrade

Using a 4080 for 1080p is like buying a race car for a golf course

Not the best analogy but yknow what I mean

Do you have a general idea of what you'd want to spend?

[wary karma]

Well I only upgraded cause I wanted to get steady 144fps on ultra settings on the games I play and even with ultra settings im still not getting a constant 144fps, but I was hoping not do a full pc upgrade. So should I go to something lower like a 4070 or 4060ti?

[mossy venture]

Well, kinda depends.

Do you just game with your pc?

[wary karma]

Yea I only game on it maybe every once in a blue moon stream to twitch but thats about it

[mossy venture]

Also would you be open to ordering off tiktok shop? Anything id recommend off of tiktok is shipped and sold by newegg, so it's reliable

Alright, so you could return the 4080 and get a 7900xtx for $920, it's slightly better than the 4080. Also, if you use a promotion Microsoft has going on right now, you get 15% back site wide on newegg

So can either return it and rebuy a 4080 and get 15% back, or return it and get a different gpu and still get 15% back

Imo xtx would be the best option

With the cash back, can get one for $782

But even with a 4070 ti, you'd want an upgrade from a 3900x

Especially if you stayed at 1080p

Right now is a great time to upgrade though, with tiktok shop you can get a 7600 for $150, motherboard for $90 or so, and ram for $75 or so

If you got the xtx with cash back, I'm fairly sure the gpu+ cpu mobo and ram would cost about the same as just the 4080

[wary karma]

So say if I wanted to go a bit cheaper would I be benefiting if I upgraded my 3900x to a 5800x3d and just stick with the mb and ram I have now?

[mossy venture]

Not really, you'd be better off selling that and just going 7600

7600 at $150 mobo at $90, $240 and ram is 70 or so, so $310. 5800x3d at its cheapest is around $290

So sell mobo+ram as well and it ends up noticeably cheaper, as well as you have an upgrade path and a slightly better cpu (7600>5800x3d)

Though if you're trying to avoid building a pc from scratch

That wouldn't be a terrible idea. If you have a microcenter nearby, 5600x3d would be good

[wary karma]

I do have a microcenter near me like 30 mins away

[mossy venture]

Even upgrading cpu though I'd still recommend a monitor upgrade as well, you can get a solid one around $150-200

[mossy venture]

I believe they have 5600x3d for $180?

That would be decent

Overall the 7600 would be a better deal but if you're trying to avoid building essentially from scratch, that'd be the best option

[manic cloak]

hi guys

like the name?

[mossy venture]

?

Oh

Yes

[wary karma]

Ok last question, Should I just return the 4080, put my 2080 super back in and upgrade just the cpu to either 5600x3d and 5800x3d? Just wondering if that would be a cheaper and better option.

[mossy venture]

It looks nicer

[manic cloak]

the 10$ off didn't apply though

which is annoying

the promo code btw

idk why

[mossy venture]

Well that kinda depends on you and what games you play

[manic cloak]

I called them they saud they can't do anything

[mossy venture]

At 1080p, the 4080 is extremely overkill

You'd likely see more of a frame rate boost with the 5600x3d than you would the 4080

[wary karma]

Yea im kind of thinking the sme thing

[mossy venture]

Or you can wait and just do a full system upgrade, since 5600x3d is more like delaying the issue than solving it

[wary karma]

Ok ill think about this one and make my decision

[mossy venture]

Since when you upgrade gpu, anything around a 4080 tier gpu would be pushing it on that cpu

[mossy venture]

If you've any other questions feel free to ping me, though I might be going to sleep soonish

If I don't respond tonight I'll 100% respond in the morning

[wary karma]

Ok thank you much!

[mossy venture]

Np!

[south cliff]

Could the reason its running a little toasty be because he said the original owner replaced thermal pads

[mossy venture]

Potentially

You could try redoing it

[south cliff]

How could I do it

[south cliff]

and would i have to order new ones

[mossy venture]

Yes

And felix or someone else would be better fitted to explain how to do it

I've never even seen it done

[south cliff]

How much do they cost

[mossy venture]

Not sure

Oh also fal knows about it well

[zenith cargo]

the p12s are quiet and loud\

[south cliff]

From my experience they were always pretty quiet

[south cliff]

You think it’s fine if I @ him?

[mossy venture]

Idt he minds, but could be sleeping

[south cliff]

Ok it’s fine if I don’t get a response I’ll just wait till tomorrow

@potent portal Bacca said the thermal pads on my “new” 3090 could be the reason why my temps are high could you give me a link or something on where to get new ones?it’s a evga 3090 ftw3 v2

[zenith cargo]

mine get loud at max

[south cliff]

Every fan does

[zenith cargo]

but mine at first had like zap sounds

[south cliff]

Not really a fan you can’t hear that’s on max

[zenith cargo]

I heard 3 zaps

[south cliff]

Wdym zaps

[zenith cargo]

idk

a weird noise when it would increase speed

imagine putting a piece of plastic on a fan blade while spinning

[south cliff]

Probably bearings how long have you had them

[zenith cargo]

bought them today

[stray lance]

new to pcs and building but im planning on getting one, been looking at prebuilts and this is what ive somewhat settled on https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-azure2-0890-b-ne/p/3D5-000Z-00171?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-Future+Publishing+Ltd&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-Future+Publishing+Ltd&utm_source=afc-Future+Publishing+Ltd&AFFID=2294204&AFFNAME=Future+Publishing+Ltd&ACRID=1&ASUBID=pcg-us-8393898542188835000&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcgamer.com%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2294204&ranSiteID=kXQk6.ivFEQ-lN2is6xeAxYB3eJTnx3MGQ

was told its better to build myself but idk anything about parts and dont wanna mess anything up 😭

[mossy venture]

I'm gonna take a look at other options, any reason you chose specifically that one?

@stray lance

[tranquil basin]

Any recommendations for a prebuilt around the $2K mark?

[south cliff]

Build your own

[tranquil basin]

0 experience

Scared i'd catch on fire

[stray lance]

specs line up with what i sorta want, i9 13900 with a 4090

and i dont know anything so 😭

honestly i can go by with a 4080 build, since with the 4090 i need to spend much more to get monitors that pair with it

[mossy venture]

Are you just gaming?

[stray lance]

gaming/streaming and gonna use it as my main desktop too

[mossy venture]

Wdym main desktop? Do you do any demanding workstation things like video editing, blender or anything along those lines?

[stray lance]

currently no but i want to be open to it

[mossy venture]

Do you plan to specifically use blender or Adobe suite at all?

[stray lance]

probably adoble after effects if anything

[mossy venture]

I'd go for a 13600k or 14600k then, the i9 beats them by about 3-5% in gaming while costing a few hundred extra

https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Daily-Deal-VR-i5K I'd do this build with the screen shot of customizations I'm about to send

Sorry the case name isn't shown well

Or cooler

Those two

[stray lance]

what about for workstation demands like editing

[mossy venture]

Kinda depends, if it's "entry level" stuff then it won't matter, but if you're doing demanding tasks it would make a noticeably difference

14700k has 4 less ecores than the 13900k/14900k, it's not a huge difference

I'd say that's a good middleground

[stray lance]

i see, most other recommendations ive gotten was for the ryzen uh 7800 x3d was it

as a replacement for the i9 on gaming

[mossy venture]

I'd also check to see if any of your softwares need an nvidia gpu, since if not 7900xtx slightly beats the 4080 in gaming and is $300 cheaper on cyberpower

The 7800x3d is good for gaming, loses in multi core to 13600k/14600k

7900x3d would be what I'd go for for a mix of both on amds end

One sec I'll customize an amd option

[stray lance]

personally im more of an nvidia/intel fan simply bc im more familiar with them over AMD, just pure personal pref

[stray lance]

okayy

[tranquil basin]

I think i7 is good you don't need it to be i9

[stray lance]

i just uh, dont want to deal with bottleneck, something ive heard

[mossy venture]

Oh also there's an extra rebate for $70 off I didn't see before

[mossy venture]

The 4080 is fine with a 7600 at 1440p, the term bottleneck is kinda useless the way a lot of people use it

[stray lance]

im thinking more 4k 120hz, is the main monitor i want to pair

[mossy venture]

Any pc will have a bottleneck, it's impossible not to have one. In this case, the 13600k vs 14900k compared side by side with a 4080 in gaming it's near identical

4k depends less on the cpu then

4090 is fine with a 7600 at 4k

Higher resolution means more load on gpu, since it's more pixels being rendered

And since the gpu is rendering more pixels it's giving less frames, so the cpu doesn't have to work as hard to allow the gpu to do what it's doing

Sorry if I'm overexplaining or explaining badly I'm really tired

[stray lance]

its okayy im sorta tired too haha

i understand

most of it

just doing some browsing before bed, probably gonna run to microcenter again on black friday and get another build sheet

[mossy venture]

https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Ultra-4070-Gaming-PC

Same case and cooler as the other one

This isn't bad https://newegg.io/05ae53a

Alr last one then I'm going to bed I gotta work in the morning https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6553001.p?skuId=6553001

Gn!

[south cliff]

This could be your chance to learn then

[tranquil basin]

I was a lot more confident initially, but I’m realizing there’s a lot of nuances to it that really intimidate me

If something as seemingly innocuous as static energy through my fingertips can damage stuff…… idk!

The brass pins on motherboards also seem to be delicate

[south cliff]

That’s nearly impossible to actually kill a pc component with static electricity

[south cliff]

Just plop the cpu in and your good

[tranquil basin]

Maybe I’m too apprehensive!

[south cliff]

I think you should build it yourself then when you look at it in all of its glory you can say you did that

[tranquil basin]

I was thinking of getting a prebuilt through costco so i have the option of returning it, or paying a computer store to assemble the parts for me

[tranquil basin]

Haha yeah that seems rewarding!

[south cliff]

They will probably overcharge

[tranquil basin]

Probably a couple hundred dollars yeah

[south cliff]

Yeah not worth it

[flint sapphire]

The first build is always the most rewarding, when you see the post screen it’s pretty great

[south cliff]

Yeah

[flint sapphire]

Not to undersell the difficulty but it’s basically adult legos

[south cliff]

Yeah and it will stick with you for life

Ok how to build a pc and replace a part or troubleshoot

What’s wrong

[tranquil basin]

That’s what i was told so at the start i thought oh i grew up building legos i got this in the bag! But my friends scared me away given how i barely know anything about pc

[south cliff]

Your doubting your potential

[tranquil basin]

Lol most likely

[south cliff]

You definitely should build it yourself imo you will have custom parts to your liking

[flint sapphire]

Everything is labeled and generally has one way it can fit in the case or motherboard honestly it’s almost easier then legos

[tranquil basin]

Customizing a build has also been a painstaking experience..! I’m trying to work out a great build with no more than $2k and it’s looking unfeasible the more i look into it 🥲

[flint sapphire]

Hardest and most dangerous part is putting in the cpu, just risking bent pins

[south cliff]

Yeah tbh look at a bunch of building videos

[flint sapphire]

2k is enough for a pretty killer build

[south cliff]

When you order all of your parts so you will be ready

[flint sapphire]

Do you have any aesthetic preferences?

I’ll throw something together fast, I don’t do it to often

Like rgb/no rgb tacky or tasteful clean or busy, most important is just case preference tbh

Also have the option of most bang for your buck

[tranquil basin]

Not even esthetics!

Here are the specs i want
Gpu— i want it ending in 7 or 8 and Ti
Cpu— i7 or i9, and i want it ending in k, not kf preferably. Liquid cooling if possible, but I’ve been told air cooling is fine.
Motherboard— a brand name feels more reliable
Ram— 16 min, 32 plenty
Ssd— 1 tb min
Psu— no less than gold

[flint sapphire]

Like here’s a build from Bacca earlier

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WLjhKX

Do you know what you want to do with the pc?

Or do you want me to ride the edge of the budget

[tranquil basin]

Play games and not have to worry about upgrades in the near future, while at the same time having good upgrade potential to where i won’t have to bend over backwards and swap lotsa things to make an upgrade work

[flint sapphire]

No blender or adobe?

[tranquil basin]

There’s ALREADY too many moving parts as is, so compatibility is important too

[flint sapphire]

And do you want like raytracing

[tranquil basin]

Not into that at the moment, no!

[flint sapphire]

Any plans to?

[tranquil basin]

Idk what that is! Lol!!

[tranquil basin]

None so far?

[flint sapphire]

Ah it’s some fancy tech that Nvidia does well at

Lots of games releasing have been taking advantage of it

Gimme like 10 minutes lol

[tranquil basin]

Omg take your time! As long as you need

[leaden mauve]

i like my i7 4820k

yes

[south cliff]

Goatjo will come back

[flint sapphire]

Well haven’t built a pc list in a minute. If you have tiktok you could probably get some crazy discounted items but I came up with two lists so far with room for changes to looks cooling w.e https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wJVRz6 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WkLKcH

Nvidia cards

You could easily get away with a 13600k for gaming, I honesty would suggest it over the 13700k

[manic cloak]

@flint sapphire newegg cashback exists

also

cpu's are heavily on sale on newegg tt shop

[flint sapphire]

Feel free to add or make corrections

[manic cloak]

alr let me cook rq

[manic cloak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6d9PKX before tax

time to cook w another

btw the g360a would be the same price as the nv5 as it's the same price on tt shop.

[flint sapphire]

Ah was trying to rmbr deep cool

Without tiktok here’s a fancy case version 👀 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mPFyVW

[manic cloak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ddHL4M

that's the 4080 one

[manic cloak]

can't work

[flint sapphire]

[manic cloak]

I believe clearance for front radiator and gpu would interfere

[flint sapphire]

Yeah it won’t max is 325

[manic cloak]

no

[flint sapphire]

My b

[manic cloak]

max is 350

355*

[flint sapphire]

30mm rad

[manic cloak]

ah

makes sense

[manic cloak]

if you wanna go fancy though, nzxt n9 I think?

[flint sapphire]

Just In case I looked up how big the rad was; it’s 27mm so close

[flint sapphire]

Is there any deals on tiktok for like a 4090

[manic cloak]

nope, newegg has 15% cashback though microsoft edge

[flint sapphire]

Eh

[manic cloak]

excludes any promos

[flint sapphire]

Maybe could fit it in

[mossy venture]

Issue is 4090s are up around 2k now

Due to the export ban or whatever to China

Hol up

Price back to normal? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TvpzK8/pny-xlr8-gaming-verto-epic-x-rgb-oc-geforce-rtx-4090-24-gb-video-card-vcg409024tfxxpb1-o

[cyan ravine]

Gamestop Chad's don't care

That won't last long

Bet you that sells very fast

[tranquil basin]

Hey thanks a ton! I passed out last night but I’m excited to check these builds out

[flint sapphire]

np, again theres some killer deals on tiktok which u can see in sky's lists

[weary galleon]

Note that to get the good TikTok deals you'll have to make multiple accounts (one per part) and maybe use a vpn

[tranquil basin]

Interesting! I barely use tiktok. Where would i find those deals at?

[weary galleon]

On TikTok go to the Newegg account and then the shop tab

[severe hull]

Hey chat looking to get a graphics card for my son's pc. This set up has been running pretty good for two years but I do want to upgrade it . Recommendations on parts for black Friday

How much to spend?

[earnest olive]

gonna need a ram upgrade as well

[teal dome]

CPU also no?

anything i can do better?

Might be a bit overkill though since I plan on using it for stuff like fn and r6

[south cliff]

Im pretty sure you can find a better aio for the same price and do you already have the 2080ti?

or are you buying it used or something

[teal dome]

Use frozen notte for the aio or if you wanna save use air cooler

[limber crown]

I've seen a few used for around the same price

[teal dome]

7800xd for a 2080?

Isn’t it too overkill?

[limber crown]

Yeah i thought so too but idk what else to get instead

[teal dome]

7600 should be fine

[cyan ravine]

can definitely do better than this

[south cliff]

yeat and spend more on gpu

7800xt is 500 im pretty suyre

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zxwXn6

[south cliff]

i think you should go atx just for maybe future

[cyan ravine]

depending on the kind of games you want to play

ATX is a dying form factor

multi gpu is dead

[south cliff]

he said fn and r6

[cyan ravine]

then the 7800xt one would be better

R6 especially cpu bound

you'll be running close to the 600 fps cap anyway

[south cliff]

i meant case

my bad

[cyan ravine]

still a dying form factor

mATX is on the rise

[teal dome]

itx >>>

[cyan ravine]

it'll also look cleaner

[teal dome]

I like small build

[cyan ravine]

(for costing basically nothing)

[teal dome]

I carry it anywhere

[cyan ravine]

@limber crown

[limber crown]

Oh thanks

looks alot better

[cyan ravine]

yeah, you won't need kryo, rather kryo is old news

a 7800x3d can work on a stock amd box cooler, and yet it doesn't ship with one

if you need thermal paste, consider arctic mx-6

basically the same results but doesn't dry out after 6 months/1 year and costs like a third as much

[hollow crag]

Should I wait for Friday to do shopping for pc or should I just do it today?

[south cliff]

Is this a good pc for my friend max budget is 1500 he usually just plays r6 fn and like apex.I kinda just stole your build felix https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mmnJt7

[cyan ravine]

Uh

I would upgrade gpu, not the other stuff

@south cliff

The other stuff gives a grand 0% performance boost where as going up to a 7900xt would be huge

This is ideal

[south cliff]

ok thanks

[mossy venture]

Could also do better with tt shop

[thorn mural]

How's the solidigm p41 plus 512gb?

[mossy venture]

Good but depends on price

[thorn mural]

$27

[pseudo pollen]

too expensive

I think you can get a 1tb ssd for around $30-35ish

On tiktok shop, depending on the account, you can get 2tb for under $40 if you're lucky

[thorn mural]

Sorry im not getting tiktok lol

[mossy venture]

Meh

What are you using the ssd for

[thorn mural]

Just normal os stuff

word

homework

[mossy venture]

Unless you'd use 1tb, that's the best priced 500gb you'll get

Aside from tik tok shop

[thorn mural]

Im used to paying much more for 512gb since i havent bought nvmes for a while so i think $27 isnt too bad

[mossy venture]

Just mediocre pricing compared to 1tb/2tb

Also until like a month ago if not less, we could consistently get 1tb for $25-36

And 2tb for $55-75

Again not with tiktok. I got my p41 plus 2tb for $35 after tax

Also an m450 1tb for $25

[thorn mural]

Interesting

thanks for the info

What’s the minimum wattage for a 4080

@mossy venture

[mossy venture]

Depending on the model psu, a good 650 could handle it

Honestly a good 550 likely could, with a low wattage cpu

I would say 95/5 odds a 4080 with 7800x3d runs on a 550w rmx

[earnest olive]

I'd say 100% unless it's defective

4080 is easier to run than a 3080

and 7800x3d is an 80w cpu in prime95

[high field]

Don’t think my 850 is enough watts though

[earnest olive]

not sure about rm550x but rm650x has OPP set at 124%

850w is definitely enough lol

unless you're running full load on an insane cpu setup

oced xeon w9/TR under a water chiller maybe

[high field]

I meant to say I have 750

Rn

[earnest olive]

if you are trying hard enough you can get a 4080 to run games on a 300w psu

wouldn't actually recommend going below 650 though

maybe higher depending on cpu

750w is enough to run 14900k + 4080 no problem

[high field]

@earnest olive the thing is says on the box u need 850 minimum and I only got 750 and when I shut the pc down and I click the button to turn my pc back on and it won’t turn on endless I click the reboot button on my pc so there’s not enough power I called gigabyte and they also said I don’t have enough power of 750

[earnest olive]

...you know how much a 4080 draws at idle?

mine draws 10 watts

if it's not turning on that's a different issue entirely

manufacturers put extremely high recommendations for the power supply capacity because

1. they can't guess what cpu you're going to pair it with
2. they can't guess if you actually have a quality unit
3. they want to reduce customer support costs

you're free to believe them if you want, but don't ping me to waste my time if my answer doesn't matter to you

[hollow crag]

Do you guys have an idea of how much cheaper stuff will be on Friday rather than today?

[flint sapphire]

A bit. It’ll be on Monday for tech items btw (a bit as in I have no clue but there should be some decent sales)

[hollow crag]

Honestly I’ve been waiting for to long and I kind of want to build it whine I’m on thanksgiving break. All the tech deals for Black Friday are already here I’m assuming? Because I see a lot

[modest arrow]

Intel i3-12100f
Radeon rx 7600
Rate the combo?

It's suppose to be a budget pc

[high field]

What’s the issue because I’ve try every video and everything people have said and nothing seems to work

Not trying to bother u I believe u it’s just weird about how my pc in doing this

[flint sapphire]

theres a ton of early deals, yeah. Typically theres a crazy deal or 2 on friday or monday

[high field]

Obviously I’m not going to listen to those clowns

[hollow crag]

Dang I might miss out .. it’s okay

[earnest olive]

it's not bad but at this point 12400f is probably cheap enough to be worth it

[modest arrow]

Yeah I got it for 90 dollars

[earnest olive]

good, because they are just trying to line their pockets by avoiding helping you

[high field]

Exactly

But do u have any idea of what the problem could be though?

[earnest olive]

sometimes hardware fails and the only solution is replacement/repair

[earnest olive]

the 12400f? or 12100f

[high field]

Are u talking about the reason why my pc won’t turn on after I shut it down

[earnest olive]

I mean

did you shut it down and it never turned on again or what

[high field]

No like I’ll click shut down and I’ll wait a little bit to turn it back on and it legit will not turn back on the pc is running it won’t turn on but if I click the reboot button on my pc it will turn back on it’s super werid I’ve tried a lot of things and for some reason it’s still not working

Lmk if u got any ideas or anything that I can try to fix it

[earnest olive]

do you ever turn it on with the power button? or only the reset button

did you accidentally wire power_sw header to the reset button?

[high field]

Like I click the power button the pc turns on but my monitor doesn’t turn on just no signal

[high field]

Just check I didn’t everything is correct on the headers

[earnest olive]

what cpu do you have

[high field]

Ryzen 7 7800x3d

[earnest olive]

I'd try removing the graphics card and seeing if the PC boots normally with the integrated graphics

[high field]

It’s a problem with the graphics card it’s like not recognizing the display port and if I plug the display port into the mobo it works perfectly fine

But when I put in the graphics card it doesn’t recognize it

[earnest olive]

welp

keep sending tickets to gigabyte I guess

if they keep giving you the same excuse maybe threaten to go to gamers nexus or something

[cyan ravine]

Dead port?

Can you try another port if the gpu has it

[high field]

Small for all

[cyan ravine]

???

[high field]

Tried them all

Sorry

[cyan ravine]

Ah

Sadge

[high field]

?

Sadge

[south cliff]

ok i contacted corsair i can get a 8 pin pcie for like 4 dollars but no white version

but thats fine

[modest arrow]

12100f

[south cliff]

Wait can i put 3 8 pin pcie in the rm 850 i only 2 2 dedicated ones

[south cliff]

I’ll im going to have to use the pig tail till the 3rd pcie comes in

Bro auto correct is so bad

[south cliff]

i used to do the bottom one on my 6800

[cyan ravine]

It'll be fine

RM850 is a solid psu

[verbal hedge]

Hey, I'm looking at buying a prebuilt pc for around 2900USD for a friend, does anyone have recommendations

[mossy venture]

What is the pc being used for

[verbal hedge]

Gaming, the new Ark is pretty much the top end of what it would be used for

[mossy venture]

I'd get a build off cyberpowerpc, one min

[cyan ravine]

boop

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

4090 price is meh, I know

alternatively

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FWv7vj

[verbal hedge]

All good, I'm just sending it as a prebuilt because it wouldn't work otherwise

Long distance

[cyan ravine]

ah

what you could maybe do, get an aio

then send the gpu separate

[mossy venture]

So this build https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gaming-PC-Infinity-8800-Pro-SE
