Yo Fal’Cie do you watch evabgangelion

Evangelion

[potent portal]

It's on my list, I'll get to it eventually

[brazen pond]

Pls bro

Watch it

Then put your pfp to asuka

Because red suits asuka

And red suits your discord color

[brazen pond]

I’d make sure my build’s color theme is white tho to contrast

Not exactly pure white but white

Also nice build man

[little osprey]

Only Asuka figure I could fit in the case that looked semi decent

[brazen pond]

she’s definitely carrying the aesthetic man

Looks great

Got a $437 deal for this man I’m so happy

[vague oracle]

Yeah….

[little osprey]

Radoen GPU fins look so cool

Good build man

[manic cloak]

How do I make this not ugly?

[potent portal]

Extensions

[manic cloak]

Makes sense

[little osprey]

I really appreciate it, went for a sleek blackout build

[manic cloak]

Build looks great

Which case tho?

[little osprey]

Phanteks G300A

[manic cloak]

You’re telling me you put the 360 on the front and not on top? 😭

[little osprey]

Only support for 240mm on top

Would’ve otherwise

[manic cloak]

Oh

Whoops

[little osprey]

Yeah, also Gigabyte is a pain in the ass and puts the CPU power up top so routing cables through there was already troublesome enough

[ocean umbra]

Welp. I’m done with pre-builds and I’m officially on the hunt for parts to build my own

[potent portal]

Welcome back from the dark side, it's so much better in the light

[ocean umbra]

I dunno if I should recycle parts or just sell them individually for upgrades

[potent portal]

Depends on the parts, a good few should be salvageable

[ocean umbra]

I’m only one generation behind CPU and GPU wise. But I do wanna go with a water cool system instead of air cooling

So that’ll be a new experience

[little osprey]

What CPU?

Might be overkill to get an AIO

[novel parcel]

hi, im quite confused about the difference between rear panel ports, internal i/o connectors, onboard usb and how i know if the ports on my motherboard is compatible with ports on the case. Can someone help me pls?

[potent portal]

Easiest way is to put the parts into https://pcpartpicker.com/list and it gives a compatibility report that says what plugs where

[novel parcel]

are the front panel usb's on pc partpicker the same as the onboard usb

[potent portal]

The front panel USB connects to the onboard USB headers

[novel parcel]

so ill need them on my case if theyre on my motherboard right

[potent portal]

You can have empty headers on the board

But if you want to use the front panel things you need a header available for them

[novel parcel]

sorry im new to this, what are headers and what are the front panel things used for?

[potent portal]

Headers are the part of the motherboard you plug the cables into

There's cables coming from the front panel for things like the power button, USB, and audio

[manic cloak]

is there any issues with AMD's most recent driver update?

I need to transfer to 7800xt drivers rn, software is telling me so

[manic cloak]

I figured it out, did a furmark stress test and for 1440p: 200fps avg at 62 degrees C max with only a 30% fan speed

Idk what but that backplate was cold when taking it out maybe it does work

@mossy venture I got an issue

[mossy venture]

Looks like bad cable low key

[manic cloak]

It’s happening again

[mossy venture]

The specks in the back idk

That might be vram damage

[manic cloak]

Bad cable?

[mossy venture]

Try a diff cable and port on the monitor

[manic cloak]

Oooh

Okay

Should I shut down?

[mossy venture]

Don't matter

[manic cloak]

Uhhh slight issue @mossy venture the display port isn’t budging

I’m wiggling, tugging on it with some decent pull and it’s not budging

That’s not good. It just made a snapping noise.

[mossy venture]

There's a button you have to press down

On the side facing the back of the monitor

It's hard to get

[manic cloak]

Nvm I got it

@mossy venture I booted again and it crashed..

[mossy venture]

That's concerning

Igpu?

[manic cloak]

Ya my igpu is working

@mossy venture it's fracting

Augh 😭😭

[mossy venture]

Rippp

[manic cloak]

I’m reinstalling drivers

See if it’s a driver

Cause it’s drivers, gpu, or system issue.

[mossy venture]

Sfc/scannow

Chkdsk

[manic cloak]

?

[mossy venture]

And dism

In cmd prompt

Run as admin

[manic cloak]

ah

Alr

[mossy venture]

Type those in but not dism

Google dism commands

Should be like 8 of them

[manic cloak]

Well I just reinstalled drivers to the October version.

[mossy venture]

Idk the exact number

[manic cloak]

I’m gonna see if that did anything

Alr

Then I’ll do that

So not a drivers issue

[manic cloak]

How do I do this

[mossy venture]

Run command prompt as admin

Type those in

[manic cloak]

@mossy venture nothings opening..

[mossy venture]

Mmm

[manic cloak]

Look

[mossy venture]

What gpu you have before again?

6650xt?

Did you driver uninstall?

[manic cloak]

Yup

I did the official AMD driver uninstall

I could DDU

but I heard official driver un install is better

[mossy venture]

Ye

I would rma or get it replaced by wegg

[manic cloak]

They’re closed :(

For the rest of the day atleast

[mossy venture]

Damn

You still got the other gpu?

Also what psu you got again?

[manic cloak]

750 GT

And yes I do

[mossy venture]

In a weird way dirty power could cause it

Try the other gpu

[manic cloak]

The other gpu worked fine before too

[manic cloak]

Btw you know the evga psu cables look like this right

Is it because of that maybe? 1 cable powering two slots?

[mossy venture]

Idts, 150w from one 8 pin 75w from slot, at peak wattage is shouldn't pull more than 35w or so (obv not including spikes)

[manic cloak]

Huh 😭😭

[mossy venture]

No it's fine

Tldr

[manic cloak]

Nvm I’m dumb, I should just do replace option.

[manic cloak]

@mossy venture

It’s fixed?

Nvm it just crashed :)

I got into fortnite then it froze

[mossy venture]

Try driver uninstall now that you switched back

[manic cloak]

@mossy venture

Found the issue

[mossy venture]

Hm?

[manic cloak]

This happened to me when I took out the card, I thought it was dust but,.

The 3 grey pieces

It may be a coincidence

[mossy venture]

What is that?

It looks like a thermal pad

[manic cloak]

A cracking thermal pad

[mossy venture]

Yeah 100% send that back. possibly could fix it but you have no reason to over just getting it replaced

[manic cloak]

Well I want it 100% fixed

[mossy venture]

Unless you can't get the cashback, though replacing them would eat into it

[manic cloak]

But they don’t have a fox option.

Fix*

They have a replace

[mossy venture]

Ok good

Def replace

[manic cloak]

So I already have the Replace/RMA in order rn

[mossy venture]

Ok sick

[manic cloak]

but I’m gonna call them tomorrow

Rant a little bit

See if I can get some express shipping or something

Or hell maybe like some more money back 💀

[mossy venture]

Ok just pls don't yell at customer service for things that aren't their fault, I don't get that vibe from you but I also don't know you very well

[manic cloak]

I know I know

I’ve done customer service at my work

Just ranting is more like kinda complaining

I don’t like being rude

[mossy venture]

Ok anyone who's done customer service I trust

[manic cloak]

It ain’t the minnesota passive aggressive way

[mossy venture]

I do the same thing but like getting sympathy and working w them

[manic cloak]

My literal job position is called Customer Service Expert/Insider 💀💀

[mossy venture]

I worked in a grocery store for a year and a half, cashier and then 8 months as customer service rep

Now I work at best buy. Black Friday, week before, and today SUCKED

[split cliff]

@tender umbra the GPU not recognized happened again. At this point, from reading this thread of the person who is experiencing exactly what i’m experiencing, my GPU might’ve been “bricked” https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/newly-built-custom-pc-failing-to-recognize-gpu-after-activating-xmp-in-the-bios.3686149/#post-22203123

i think i’m gonna have to return it back to newegg and let them send me a new one…

it’s not worth trying anymore i’m just gonna replace my 4080….

[obsidian wigeon]

new gpu time

[split cliff]

where do u replace items on newegg? the RMA thing u mentioned

[obsidian wigeon]

contact them for a return

or you can email msi for rma form

[split cliff]

alright done

i assume they won’t send me a replacement until they have received the original item

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

that's the process

[split cliff]

i’m gonna borrow my friend’s RTX 2060 tomorrow and plug it into my mobo and see if that detects the GPU

if it does then my GPU is indeed bricked

i do have a RX570 laying around rn, not sure if that’s compatible with ryzen 7 7800x3d on a steel legend x670e motherboard @obsidian wigeon should i try it?

[obsidian wigeon]

yes

just make sure pcie mode is on gen 3

or auto

[split cliff]

it’s on auto

[obsidian wigeon]

ok good

[split cliff]

what if it’s not on auto? will it cause bad things

[obsidian wigeon]

not really

these gpus aren't gen 4

[potent portal]

It just might fail to start, no big deal lol

[obsidian wigeon]

[potent portal]

Oh and don't expect to get 4k 144Hz from a RX 570

And with that I'm out again

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-homer-simpson-gif-13518564799186478937

[mellow meteor]

if i wanna buy this https://www.newegg.com/msi-aegis-r-12nuc7-635us/p/N82E16883151357
is there anything i can buy to upgrade it?

[mossy venture]

16gb ddr5 isn't good, it's either 2x8 and 8gb ddr5 sticks suck due to the way its built, and single channel 16gb bad since single channel bad

4060 pre built at that price isn't good if you're just gaming

[manic cloak]

@split cliff both broken AND brand new gpus from newegg? Twinning

[manic cloak]

Ya the gpu is 100% broken, 6650xt works fine

[mellow meteor]

what do i look for then? cause i dont have any knowledge on pcs and i just want one for gaming

[mellow meteor]

why would it be broken?

[mossy venture]

Budget after any upgrades?

And do you want a monitor recc too?

[mellow meteor]

budget would probably be around 1k cause i dont wanna spend too much

[mellow meteor]

sure

[mossy venture]

https://newegg.io/12296c6
https://newegg.io/406bb09

First one you'd want to upgrade ram though, so it'd be more like $1100

Though the 4060 build after ram upgrade would be around $1070

4060 ti is around 30% better

Though building yourself you can fit 7800xt/4070 in fairly easily

Monitor prob https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zcqrxr/msi-g244f-238-1920-x-1080-170-hz-monitor-g244f if you go for 4060/4060 ti

If you go 4060 ti and want it, 1440p isn't a terrible idea depending on what you value

In certain newer games it might struggle a bit

[mellow meteor]

would the second one be good enough on its own?

[mossy venture]

Yeah but imo I'd say get the first and upgrade ram in down the line when you can

3070 is better, but 13400f cooler and better, especially since its ddr5

And id upgrade from 16gb soon anyways on ddr4 too

[mellow meteor]

yeah but the first one isnt available rn and i doubt it would be by the end of tomorrow

so the black friday sale would be over

[mossy venture]

It says it arrives 12/01

ETA anyways

Is 6 days too long?

[mellow meteor]

no i mean like its on sale right now cause of black friday

but once that ends its gonna go to 1.5k

[mossy venture]

Oh you're not ordering rn?

Or it doesn't let you?

[mellow meteor]

says something about backorder

idk

i dont know what that means

[mossy venture]

It has a bit longer shipping date than normal

You can order it at this price and it is estimated to arrive 12/01

[mellow meteor]

ohhh

[mossy venture]

That or they estimate its in stock then

I'm not certain which

But if it is that then it ships Dec 1st

[vague oracle]

You pay the price that it’s at now, then you just wait for it to be back in stock and they’ll ship it out then

[mossy venture]

Which still should mean it gets there in a fairly reasonable amount time

I'm bad at wording sentences right now

Though also one sec I'm checking one other thing

[mellow meteor]

is there any difference between the two without any upgrades?

[little osprey]

I need a mobo with wifi that can run a ryzen 7 got any suggestions?

[lyric thistle]

Motherboard

[manic cloak]

I meant mine mb

[split cliff]

did u get urs replaced? how was the replacement process. easy and non frustrating?

[mossy venture]

Could do a better quality similar performance uild on cyberpower but $1150, and don't have to upgrade ram and also has 2tb asd

[split cliff]

I FOUND IT. THE CULPRIT WAS INDEED THE RTX 4080!!!! RX560 BOOTED FINE AND IT WAS DETECTED BY WINDOWS, BUT NOT THE 4080 (sorry for all caps)

[mossy venture]

Yeah, 13400f one I think is better even without the ram upgrade. But after it is a lot better

[mellow meteor]

how much would i have to spend on ram upgrades

and do i NEED the ram upgrades? like im fine if i have 120 fps or something in games its not like i need 300+ fps

[mossy venture]

Around $70-80, if you ordered on tiktok shop sold by newegg probably around $60

[mossy venture]

1% lows (frame drops) would likely be very noticeable

Wait one more time, best buy had some decent sales I didn't check there

[split cliff]

is it normal for task manager to display both the integrated GPU (GPU 1) and the external GPU (GPU 0)?

[mossy venture]

This is ntb https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6557597.p?skuId=6557597

Ibuypower doesn't have the best rep, since their support is ass and they tend to cheap out in areas, but at that price honestly it's the better than you'd find compared to normal prices. I'm still looking though

Might be something better still under budget or in budget

[mellow meteor]

alright

[mossy venture]

This isn't bad, would need the ram upgrade https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6553002.p?skuId=6553002

I'll link the kit I'd recc, one second

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6JLFf7/teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl32-memory-flbd532g5600hc32dc01

Again can do cheaper with tiktok shop sold by newegg, if you want to do that I can grab a screenshot

[split cliff]

alright hopefully my replacement goes successful

i don’t have the plastic wrapping for the cables anymore but i hope this works

[mellow meteor]

so like

which one of the 5 you sent is the best option

[mossy venture]

Imo, either the cyberpower on bestbuy with the 4060 or the one on cyberpowerpc I haven't showed you yet that's $1150

4060 ti 12600k (hotter slightly better 13400f)

3060 ti* which 4060 ti performs the same. Nvidia did not do good with their performance/tier this gen

[mellow meteor]

what about the first one for this

[mossy venture]

Which God damn it i lost the cyberpower list, but I can make it again if $1100 is doable

[mellow meteor]

is there a big performance difference between the first one and the others

[mossy venture]

Also good, would still need the ran upgrade though

Yes, 4060 ti better than 4060 by about 30%

It's a very large difference

The cyberpower 4060 one is alright for $900, but still not as good value

The cyberpower one also comes with keyboard, mouse, and headset btw

Idk if the others do, though most do come with keyboard and mouse

[mellow meteor]

i doubt it would be good though

[mossy venture]

Cyberpower $1150 one

Theyre not bad, it's a black Friday promotion so they're reduced to $5 each extra

Theyre at least fine for now, easily worth the $15 if you need cheapish ones. Cheap enough that it makes sense to buy for now and upgrade later

[mellow meteor]

i think i might buy the first one because its pretty good already and also looks good

i just wanna know how noticeable it would be if i didnt upgrade the ram

[mossy venture]

That's fair, it's good.

It would be a major difference

You could potentially find out what stick it is and buy the exact same one, if it's 1x16

If that's the case it could be more like $30-50

[mellow meteor]

its the Kingston Fury RGB 16GB DDR5 5600MHz (2x8GB)

[mossy venture]

If its 2x8 or you can't get the same stick, SOL.

Yeah 8gb sticks have half the banks compared to other capacity sticks, which can affect performance up to 40%

[mellow meteor]

bruhhh

[mossy venture]

That doesn't mean average fps 40% lower

But possibly 1% lows that much worse

You could look for a cheap used kit potentially, or one sec

Lemme get the tiktok price

[mellow meteor]

should i just buy it first and then see if i need to buy more ram?

[mossy venture]

After coupon $62

You'll want to, if not now as soon as you feel you can.

$55 after coupon, but you'd have to set a custom profile in bios for the ram. It wouldn't be difficult, would take maybe 5min

And you'd get better performance than just running an XMP kit

[mellow meteor]

ill buy the pc first and see if i really need the ram

[manic cloak]

I just got mine today 😭

but what happened with yours?

also anyone know if the asrock z690 pg velocita is a good mobo?

also does it glow/light up?

[potent portal]

Looks pretty good to me, and it appears the VRM heatsink has a back glow effect

I wouldn't try to run very fast memory on it, it's only rated for up to 6400 with 2 sticks. Which is perfectly fine, you don't need more than that usually.

[manic cloak]

Was thinking 6000 cl30's maybe?

issue is tiktok shop doesn't list the CL latency on their rams

so you have to assume sadly.

[potent portal]

Or look up the model numbers

But yeah that speed would be perfect

[mossy venture]

Sometimes you can tell by model number

[manic cloak]

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr5-sdram/p/N82E16820374369 this is 86.28 after tax

USD btw

it is CL30 but that's for first timing

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb/p/N82E16820374451 or this one which is 93.78 after tax but it's CL 32 then 39 39 and 102??

plus no clue if it being "AMD expo ready" makes a difference on my intel xmp

[mossy venture]

Nah it functionally does not matter if it's xmp or expo ready

It's the same difference

[little osprey]

Guh

Oh RAM

[potent portal]

Besides expo memory also has xmp profiles

[little osprey]

I’ll take my leave then

I’m here for MONITORS and ASUS ANIME FIGURES

[mossy venture]

On either kit, if you're willing to take 5min you can get better than either kit by some easy tuning

Idk if tuning is even the right word, just some quick easily stable hynix settings

[manic cloak]

https://www.newegg.com/xpg-32gb/p/N82E16820246069 are any of these good then?

[manic cloak]

anime figures you say?

[mossy venture]

5600+ cl32 or lower

[manic cloak]

fr need me a gojo or a spike spigel

[mossy venture]

All gauranteed hynix

[manic cloak]

ah

even if it's cl30 40 40 80

[mossy venture]

Ye

[manic cloak]

just the first timing has to be the factor?

[mossy venture]

Yep

[manic cloak]

alr

[mossy venture]

Idk how to tell a die from m die

Also there's 5600c46 kits

I'm not sure if every single 5600c46 kit is gauranteed hynix, but the t-create classic is

[manic cloak]

ah

[little osprey]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Ut4AAOSwuRBjfI8-/s-l1200.webp

Indeed

[manic cloak]

would that xpg or g skill be a better choice?

[mossy venture]

Felix or fal might know

[little osprey]

Are you looking for anything specific or just Hynix chips?

If I recall correctly, there’s like two confirmed RGB Team Group kits

[manic cloak]

nah more like if I were to buy ddr5 cause newegg was so kind to give me like a 40% or higher refund on my broken GPU, i'd buy ddr5.

[little osprey]

Broken GPU?

[manic cloak]

long story short

[little osprey]

Wait the one you just got?

[manic cloak]

I got my 7800xt this afternoon

and the vram is shot.

[little osprey]

That sucks

Can you RMA it with Sapphire?

[manic cloak]

I checked PCIE, display ports, reinstalled drivers, it's the card itself.

[manic cloak]

ya uhh not to sound racist here (i'm half asian but nobody knows that) but i'm gonna have to pay international shipping possibly for an RMA

[little osprey]

Oooooh I see

My fault

[manic cloak]

considering they're mainly located in Hong Kong

dw

I tried calling them

got a chinese hotline

the U.S support is through email

[little osprey]

Wait Wegg is gonna give you 40% back of what the card costed or 40% on top of what the card costed?

[manic cloak]

no

i'm PRAYING they do some sort of reimbursement

[little osprey]

I’d assume so

[manic cloak]

cause like who wouldn't be bummed out, after black friday, brand new card, all that time and work to assemble just for it to go blah

and that you try notifying them around 10 mins AFTER they close :(

[little osprey]

Yeah, ran into that with some Silicon Power products when I built my first rig

Well I’d check warranties from the manufacturer themselves

[manic cloak]

ngl I should probably check my warranty for my card

[little osprey]

I know you don’t wanna do an RMA but it’d probably be useful down the road

[manic cloak]

nono I definitely want an RMA.

cause I have 15% cash back, and 21$ worth of pricematching on this order

so I don't wanna lose all of that.

[little osprey]

Yeah, just sucks you gotta ship it back if you do the RMA

[manic cloak]

ya. who knows how long it'll take but hey it's free

[little osprey]

I’m sure you’ll figure something out

Got two routes, retailer or manufacturer

[potent portal]

Nope they contract out to third party repair centers in your region

[manic cloak]

I plan calling them tomorrow, my plan is to see what i can work out

[little osprey]

All manufacturers do?

[potent portal]

Most do

[manic cloak]

oh. but that's what I suppose through manufacture

[little osprey]

Too much of a hassle with customs?

[potent portal]

The ones that don't contract out have their own first party centers

Yeah international shipping and tracking is impossible in some cases

[manic cloak]

ya plan is i'll see what retail/wegg can do for me

[potent portal]

MSI for example has a first party repair center in Arizona iirc, even though they're a Taiwan company

[manic cloak]

true

[manic cloak]

if they can't do much i'll ask for manu number and see what they can do

[potent portal]

Sapphire runs on a ticket system before they approve the RMA https://support.sapphiretech.com/Default.asp?lang=eng

[split cliff]

mobo won’t detect my GPU at all. i tested another GPU in the mobo and it worked fine. but not my GPU.

it’s also a RTX 4080 so i’m just worried that the replacement unit they send me will not be defective…

[manic cloak]

did your gpu ever spin?

like the fans, not the gpu itself lmao

[split cliff]

u mean the case fans?

all the fans are running

the fans on the GPU itself was also spinning

everything lights up too

mobo works

the only issue is that GPU isn’t detected at all so mobo decides to use its integrated graphics to boot windows instead of the external RTX 4080

and then when i used a spare external AMD RX560 GPU, by swapping out the rtx4080, RX560 gets recognized by the mobo and so it decides to boot windows on the external RX560

so i figured my RTX 4080 is just “broken” for some reason

[manic cloak]

did you try different display ports?

[split cliff]

yes

all of this was caused by enabling XMP on a 4 ram stick config

now i’m afraid to even do XMP for a 2 ram stick config

[manic cloak]

😭

[obsidian wigeon]

the gpu works

it just fails being detected sometimes

[manic cloak]

while mine literally artifacts

[manic cloak]

another day, another struggle

[vague oracle]

Have we tried clearing CMOS and updating bios?

[split cliff]

yep… and every “solution” i find on the internet doesn’t seem to be working

[obsidian wigeon]

ya it's a pretty unlucky issue

[split cliff]

it’s like the XMP on 4 ram stick sent a weird signal toward rtx 4080 causing it to be crashing

unless i can somehow “reset” the GPU itself

does the GPU itself have like memory etc

[obsidian wigeon]

ram can wreak havoc on stuff

or that the issue originally didn't appear until conciding events happens

computers are weird

[split cliff]

i’m gonna try one last thing

gonna go to a friends house rn and plug my RTX 4080 into their PC

but their motherboard is pretty old so idk if it will work

this is their board, hopefully it recognized 4080?

ok nvm im done trying

their PSU is 600w

no way it can power the 4080 with everything else

Heya, I have 3200 mhz rams 2x8 but it shows 2133mhz in taskbar, i have checked bio and its set to 3200 what should I do? a friend told me that if you make it to 3200 you are overclocking your pc and let it be as it is rightnow , any help?

[obsidian wigeon]

windows inaccurately detects ram speed

if bikes says 3200, you're running 3200

and what your friend is referring is wrong

xmp is a profile your ram runs as advertised

[cunning bobcat]

Can you check ur DM? sadly i cant send screenshots here yet 😄 since im not lvl 3

[obsidian wigeon]

say the kit is 3200mhz

then that's the xmp profile it uses

[cunning bobcat]

sent screens in DM if you dont mind checking them

[obsidian wigeon]

keep docp on

running 2133 will hurt your performance

even if windows says 2133

your pc is running 3200, so don't worry

it's working as it should

task manager's just trash at detecting ram speed

[cunning bobcat]

ty!

[little osprey]

Quick Little question

https://www.microcenter.com/product/661882/NVIDIA_GeForce_RTX_4070_Ti_Gaming_Trio_X_Overclocked_Triple_Fan_12GB_GDDR6X_PCIe_40_Graphics_Card

I have the card linked here. I was looking to get the Cablemod 12VHPWR should i get the 2 8Pin PCIE to 12VHPWR or 3 8Pin?

[earnest olive]

how long does your pc take to turn on?

[earnest olive]

i would not assume windows is wrong on this personally

especially sometimes your pc will just fail to post overclocked settings but then boot into windows at default settings like nothing happened

which is why i asked how long the pc takes to boot

[cunning bobcat]

I fixed it , updated BIO (i was using the one which wasp ublished last year) so after I updated it shows the correct one now

[earnest olive]

sometimes i'll try to boot some crazy settings and it gets into windows and i'm like "no way" but then it's running default settings

[earnest olive]

ah, nice, yeah updated bios can help with overclocking stability sometimes

glad you fixed it

was it taking a long time to turn on though?

just out of curiosity

[bold prism]

Does anyone know if ryzen 7 7730U a good cpu for a work laptop?

[little osprey]

What else is inside the laptop

[low path]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZZBTPF How this build

[mossy venture]

9.8/10, though the ram is oos

If you haven't bought it I can grab you a link for another kit

[cyan ravine]

Looks extremely familiar

[low path]

yea i havent bought it yuet

[low path]

LOL

Shouldi get a better psu? i heard corsair has problems

[mossy venture]

??

The rm is among the best psus

Corsair overall has problems, PSUS are not among them

[low path]

oo okay iv just had bad experience everytime i get a corsair psu something is wrong with it lol

[mossy venture]

Though this is just as good for $5 less https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mgvdnQ/thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-snow-tt-premium-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0850fnfagx-w

Or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/X9XV3C/thermaltake-toughpower-gf-a3-snow-1050-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-1050fnfagu-n

[low path]

1050w damng

i was gonna overclock this pc but i decided not to

[mossy venture]

Yeah overkill even for a 4090 and 14900k on ln2

[low path]

I dont think i need that much. should i keep the corsair then?

[mossy venture]

Eh, that or the gf1 850 snow

Both great psus

[low path]

this right

btw im not going for a all white build its just something felix helped me with

im having a company build this for me btw bc the first pc i built i didnt quite understand it and i was nervous doing it lol

[cyan ravine]

Uhhh

Not really lol

The 4090 part anyway

💀

[low path]

i just HOPE this build i dont get any bottleneck bc that would suck

[cyan ravine]

You won't

Or rather

You will, but you're gearing it so strong

It's impossible to really argue

That you can do any better

[low path]

wonder how much fps i will get in warzone 💀

on 1440p

[mossy venture]

Atleast 3

[low path]

Max prolly 45

💀

[low path]

Ight yea bet

[mossy venture]

Prob https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8TV2FT/adata-xpg-lancer-blade-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-ax5u6000c3016g-dtlabrwh

For white and rgb

White w/o rgb https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9MWzK8/gskill-ripjaws-s5-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl32-memory-f5-6000j3238f16gx2-rs5w

Also same as the faster teamgroup kit, but obviously bit slower xmp. Still hynix though https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bbJgXL/teamgroup-t-force-delta-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl32-memory-ff4d532g5600hc32dc01

Anything 5600+cl32 or lower gauranteed hynix. Could vastly improve your 1% lows with some quick changes in bios to any of these kits

5600c32 kit with 5 min of effort would do better than a 6000c30 xmp

Felix can confirm/explain more he knows more about ram tuning than I do

[low path]

Iv never ramed tuned before though

[mossy venture]

I have a d4 die that's similar, good for tuning

[low path]

also im not going for awhite build its just something felix gave me as a list xD

[mossy venture]

I spent like 10min the other day in bios for it (I've never tuned before)

[mossy venture]

Ah, do you want a black list?

Do you care about looks at all?

[low path]

nope

[mossy venture]

Oh sick one sec then

And you willing to tune the ram a lil bit or nah

[cyan ravine]

Really you can buy any kit known to be hynix and put in basically any other hynix xmp for zen 4 and it should work no problems

[low path]

yea but how much more performancewill it actually help though

[cyan ravine]

I was just about to take a picture, brb

[low path]

if i tune ram wont i need to tune my gpu and cpu

or nah

[mossy venture]

A noticeable amount in 1% lows

[cyan ravine]

Nah it's not tuning

[low path]

bet then yea ill do it

if felix helps me 💀

[cyan ravine]

You're just inputting the more expensive xmp manually

[mossy venture]

Gpu ocing is nice too, cpu oc is kinda useless for gaming

[bold prism]

https://a.co/d/8947kP4

[low path]

yea i oc my gpu amd btw and it was confusing af

[mossy venture]

Aight dope, few min

[bold prism]

Is this a good laptop? Won’t be playing games

[low path]

bet ty

[mossy venture]

Gpu oc on nvidia is easy

[cyan ravine]

Example. This is how many numbers you'd put in to make an xmp from scratch

[low path]

oh bruh tahts it?

[cyan ravine]

EXPO adds two more, trc and trefi iirc

Yes

This is why I make such a big deal out of it

Then you get the fast ram for cheap af

Cos it's all the same underneath

[low path]

but doesnt dif games run differenetly based on what ram set i have no matter if its tuned or not?

[cyan ravine]

Even then hynix itself on ddr5 is naturally fast

[cyan ravine]

Yes, that's why I keep saying hynix

Hynix is the key word

You get a hynix kit, and you'll get the best results

[low path]

oh bet

[cyan ravine]

With 7800x3d any xmp 6200 or less should work 100% if you input it correctly on a hynix kit

[mossy venture]

Ram is gauranteed hynix, the case is nicer but the upgrade isn't needed at all, also plenty of other case options other than g360a
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8bvbCd

[low path]

that board is micro though so wont it look weird in the case?

[mossy venture]

If you want it all black for the sake of it all being black, just swap cooler to the black 214xt

[low path]

that wont effect perforamnce?>

[mossy venture]

Nah matx in atx builds is very normal

And nah not at all

I had an mitx mobo in a very very large atx case

[cyan ravine]

Give nova m bitfenix

If they don't want atx

[mossy venture]

Ye true

[cyan ravine]

ATX is a dying form factor anyway

[mossy venture]

Or pop air mini

[cyan ravine]

Sure

Nothing wrong with $20 into aesthetics

[teal dome]

Can you fit a 4090 in a matx?

[cyan ravine]

Yes

[mossy venture]

easier cable management in the nicer cases as an added bonus

[cyan ravine]

Well

Yes*

[mossy venture]

Can fit a 4090 in some mitx cases

[low path]

wait so what am i doing to this build he just sent

[teal dome]

Damn

[mossy venture]

Basically, there's a lot of case options

Around $80 is the most I'd spend on one ATM imo

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gQVDkJ this

[low path]

Shouldnt i add some more fans? only 2 intake and 1 exhaust?

[cyan ravine]

It's fine

More fans ≠ more better

[mossy venture]

Nah that's plenty, but could get 3 pack of c12c for $13

[cyan ravine]

It has enough

[mossy venture]

How's this compare to the nova mesh? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yxytt6/lian-li-lancool-205m-mesh-microatx-mini-tower-case-g99oe744mx10am

Or ap201

[low path]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8bvbCd Ill proly stick with this build, i like this case its the one i currently have for my build rn

[mossy venture]

G360a is among my favorite recommendations

It's solid at $90, you can get it off tiktok for like $55

[low path]

fr? xD how

[mossy venture]

Bc tiktok has some really nice deals atm

Sold by newegg

[low path]

Bet ill check it out rn

but that list is 100% good?

im selling my current pc tonightr for 900 bucs

Shoud i get another ssd?

?

[mossy venture]

for the new one>?

[low path]

is there a better gpu i can get for the price im paying for the 7900xtx or nah

i heard 7900xtx is amazing

[mossy venture]

xtx is amazing

unbeatable value

maybe there'll be a 4080 sale tmrw

but i doubt it

[low path]

i ordered the case for 63.15$

ez

[cinder gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
This is my computer I built in 2014.
Planning to MAYBE build a new one next year, but wondering in the meantime if any of these parts are worth replacing individually until next year or so? Maybe I can even sell it to buy a new one which I've never tried either? Maybe just worth not replacing anything until just getting a whole new one either? Curious on opinions.

[mossy venture]

didnt link the right one

[cinder gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RobNovice/saved/#view=bkRfpg

That one work fine?

[mossy venture]

Yeah but you have the list privated

@cinder gulch

[cinder gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RobNovice/saved/mRFPxr
Damn, didn't realize it was that complicated haha, made it public now. Private I guess is default.

[mossy venture]

The psu is good, gpu is ok

Depending on what you want to spend, could carry those over.

As for upgrades, meh. Possibly an extra 8tb stick of ram

Wait nvm

[cyan ravine]

Phantom 630 sounds like me on a day off in the morning

[mossy venture]

Thought it was 1x8 not 2x8

[cyan ravine]

8tb a lot

[mossy venture]

64gb of ram is for idiots

8tb is where it's at

[cyan ravine]

Install my everything, on my ram

[rustic linden]

Anyone know if I get a 7800x3d and 7900xt build do I need to get a 1440p monitor?

[cinder gulch]

So when I build a new computer, I am def going not use any parts of my old one it’s almost 10 years old. Question is if there are any Black Friday sales worth replacing an individual part or just fully rebuild next year and forget upgrading anything.
Part 2 question is if I could get anything for this comp if I sell it or not bother?

[low path]

Bacca should i wait to order it for tommrow or do it now

[south cliff]

is it fine if i use cable extentions on the 3090?

[vague oracle]

And that’s why I run 64Gb

[viral horizon]

just curious how often should i dust my computer

ive had it for a month now
and i was wondering when i should dust it

[manic cloak]

6400 cl32 ram or 6000 cl30 ram?

[mossy venture]

I mean, the gpu is still relevant. It competes with the 4060, which is current gen.

I wouldnt spend any money upgrading that unless it's something you can reuse for the new build, like a new case or ssd

The txm 850 is a solid psu, id trust it with a 4080 no problem.

[mossy venture]

Cam always cancel an order if a better deal pops up

Though it might take a couple days for the money to go back

If that's not an issue, order now

should I get this in store or try to convince my parents to build a pc?

[mossy venture]

Either diff pre built or custom

That's really bad value

I cant search for a better one rn, I gotta leave soon

[dreamy obsidian]

any recommendations?

[mossy venture]

Hey also, plenty of other good deals on tiktok btw

[mossy venture]

Custom system on cyberpowerpc for pre built, theyre best value atm with a few exceptions with recent sales

[mossy venture]

Do you need keyboard headset and mouse?

[dreamy obsidian]

no I got everything. My old laptop fried couple months ago so I’m getting a new system but I have everything else

[mossy venture]

Monitor too?

Also on cyberpower rn you get a free mouse pad, you'll see what I mean when i link one, but top option when you go to customize just select it bc w hy not

It's gonna be this build but most parts swapped out
https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Daily-Deal-4060

[dreamy obsidian]

yup

[mossy venture]

1080p or 1440p

And what's total budget for the pc

And do you have any parts you can carry over like ssd, psu, maybe case?

[low path]

like which ones should i get

[mossy venture]

That I'll have to help you with in a bit

Dm me and I got you within an hour or so

[dreamy obsidian]

I don’t really know yet about buying online my moms a bit concerned about it. I’d say like 1000-1300

[mossy venture]

Sane I gotta run, but like I said to frost dm me and I got you within an hour

Also, is best buy an option?

For in person

[dreamy obsidian]

yes

[mossy venture]

They had a 4060 ti build for I think $900 on sale

Aight, just shoot me a dm.

[dreamy obsidian]

alright

[mossy venture]

Also if you got it on hand, model of the monitor

Or resolution and refresh rate

[low path]

bet gotchu

[vital magnet]

really been looking at building my first PC and really stuck on which graphic card would be best. Mainly play games like dayZ, rust and would like to play escape from tarkov. would a 4060 run just fine or a Ryzen 7 7700X be okay?

[cyan ravine]

Hm

[manic cloak]

uhh a 7700x isn't a card

[cyan ravine]

We need to start from the top it seems

[manic cloak]

fr

[manic cloak]

few questions, budget, country, and what resolution? (1080p, 2k or 4k?)

and ANY preferences? (Like no rgb, black or white build, etc)

[cyan ravine]

@vital magnet how much are you willing to learn? Or would you rather just us give you a build for your budget

Dayz and rust are not heavy games so you wouldn't need a huge budget

[manic cloak]

@cyan ravine quick question but 6400cl32 or 6000cl30?

[cyan ravine]

Either or, both are good

[manic cloak]

also for ddr5 build should I aim for a 12600kf since it's cheap or go for a 7600

[cyan ravine]

Whichever is cheaper

12600kf needs to be a good 40 or so less

Than 7600

[manic cloak]

120$

compared to 199

[cyan ravine]

Worth

Yeah worth it

[manic cloak]

but the ram is a 6$ diff

[cyan ravine]

The cheaper of the two

[vital magnet]

Budget is around $1800-$2200 and live in the US and preferably 2k resolution

[manic cloak]

alr 6000cl30 then

oh wow

[cyan ravine]

You can manually dial in the xmp of the faster one if you need to

[vital magnet]

and as much as possible

[manic cloak]

alright cool, also are you familar with tiktok shop?

[cyan ravine]

You can do a lot for 2K, is that before or after tax, with monitor, keyboard, mouse? Wifi?

[vital magnet]

i already have a monitor with kbm as i play with it on my console

and before tax is fine

[vital magnet]

yes

[cyan ravine]

Monitor is what kind

Full specs is what I need

[manic cloak]

oh sweet

Brand, model name basically

[cyan ravine]

Well, resolution and hz really

Model works too

[vital magnet]

got a 27’ Acer 240Hz

[cyan ravine]

What resolution

[vital magnet]

2560 x 1440

[cyan ravine]

Ok easy

Brb

@vital magnet boop
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/McrYQP

If 4090's weren't stupid expensive rn I'd be able to fit one here

Any questions feel free to ask

[manic cloak]

solidigm is 60$ on tiktok shop w a 30% off (max of 20$ off)

[cyan ravine]

And if anyone knows a tiktok disc-

[manic cloak]

hi felix ;)

[cyan ravine]

Welp I didn't even need to write it

Hi

Any toktok disc put them here

[manic cloak]

idk if he wanted a white or black build

@vital magnet ?

also @cyan ravine can't that board handle 6000 or does it have to b 5600

[cyan ravine]

you can just put in a 6000 xmp

it'll work

I picked the cheapest rgb hynix kit in white

[manic cloak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cnvqBL any opinions?

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TrFK28

[vital magnet]

preferably white because it would go with my desk and all

[lone flame]

xtx > 4090

def no amd bias trust

[manic cloak]

Uhhh that belocita is cheaper cause of the tiktok shop

Idk if it makes a difference.

Also I thought that bitfenix nova case was absolute garbage

[low path]

Whats the pc case with the screen in it?

or a screen ucan put in it

broo this mobo is insanely nice

but not paying the price for it

[burnt dawn]

y tho

[vague oracle]

It aint worth the price

Bios doesnt set the correct stuff half the time, good ram frequency is a pain to set unless you spend days manually tuning voltages, timings dont set half the time

Cant use anything in the Gen 5 M.2 slot without throttling the GPU

And Gigabyte warranty is complete garbage

[hollow crag]

Can anyone help me find a different nvme for this build (preferably Amazon), https://pcpartpicker.com/list/23PTPF

[mossy venture]

Do you mean diff ram? It's oos, ssd isn't

[hollow crag]

Nope just the ssd, the ram came in today

[mossy venture]

Ah alr

I'll grab a link, but why switching ssd?

[hollow crag]

Because it’s taking super long to come and I already have almost every part for my build

[mossy venture]

Ig https://pcpartpicker.com/product/64MTwP/team-mp33-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fp6001t0c101

1tb pricing starting to get pretty mid again

[hollow crag]

Does it matter that the pcie is 3.0?

Am I losing any speed

[mossy venture]

If you're just gaming it doesn't matter

[zenith cargo]

will these be noticeable

[potent portal]

When gaming? No

It's maybe a half second difference when loading open world games

[cyan ravine]

Kinda yeah, didn't know

Can't see any tiktok stuff so

[cyan ravine]

Not really. I mean objectively it's not great, but it's a mesh box with fans

So it's not really too important

It covers the basics

[minor granite]

?

[manic cloak]

Quick question - with Atx, mAtx and mITX/ITX, Is there always a max speed of ram you can run on it BECAUSE of its size or because of the manufacturer limiting it?

Cause like I think it’d be possible for an ITX to run 6000 but I’m not 100%

[mossy venture]

No there isn't

An itx mobo, if it were built as well as the best z790s or b650s could do just as high ran speeds

[manic cloak]

Alr cause my cousin might do the z690M-itx asrock

But issue is it’s ddr4 so..

Even if he went with ddr5

[mossy venture]

Yeah that don't work

Ddr4 mobo does not take ddr5 no matter the size of the motherboard

The slot is built differently

[manic cloak]

oh ya that's a no brainer just tiktok shop availability is what I was talking about

[mossy venture]

Ah mb

[manic cloak]

Hmm

I’m really planning on buying that z690 Velocita board from asrock

Idk if it’s that good though compared to others, considering it’s 134.66$ USD after tax for me. Also it comes with some gpu holder? What does that do

[mossy venture]

It's a gpu sag bracket ig

Gpu sag is when a gpu doesn't stay level with the pcie slot due to its weight pulling it down

If its bad, on some gpus it can't break it

Any reason you're looking at that mobo specifically?

This is basically the same price, I dont know which one is a better buy.

[little osprey]

I have that goober

[manic cloak]

Ik what gpu sag is 😭

But I just didn’t know where it’d go

[mossy venture]

Oh lmao sorry

[manic cloak]

Considering it looked like it was in an awkward place on the image

It kinda looked like a handle bar to hold the mobo 💀

[mossy venture]

Yo low key

Do you plan to cpu oc or ram tune?

Because this is $130 before 30% off

$91 after 30% off coupon

[little osprey]

Why 💀

[mossy venture]

It's a good mobo

[little osprey]

I mean sure but still 😭

[marsh kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JKzCFs

am i missing anything?

besides the case?

[lyric thistle]

You forgot the power bill

[marsh kiln]

its worth it

@autumn gulch just to make sure, i have everything i need for a new build besides gpu and case right?

also sorry for the @ i just remember you being helpful before

[autumn gulch]

Yea it’s just missing case and gpu or fans if you need any

[little osprey]

Doesn’t have iGPU

You’ll need a GPU to test

[marsh kiln]

ok thank you. i will be reusing my old gpu for a bit and the case i want i cant afford right now but i get paid in a few days so may buy it then and i have fans

[marsh kiln]

im reusing my old one

[little osprey]

Alright NVM then

[autumn gulch]

Ah fair enough

[marsh kiln]

itll bottle neck some but its for sure worth it

[autumn gulch]

Also you might want to get another ssd if you want separate boot drive

[marsh kiln]

ok once paid ill might get fans, case, and a better m.2

and leave the 512gb as the os and drive for normal things and get like a 2tb one for games and things like that

neweggs order has been made

[royal lotus]

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb/p/N82E16820374436

is this a good set of ram or is there a better gskill set

[mossy venture]

What cpu are you using it for?

[little osprey]

Hey guys, how should I adjust this to get the best CPU cooling performance?

[royal lotus]

ryzen 5 7600

[mossy venture]

Is it an aio or fan curve

[mossy venture]

Def don't want that kit, ryzen 7000 isn't likely to run over 6200mhz without tuning

7200mhz even with tuning it'd be difficult

Do you want rgb?

[little osprey]

Wtv this is

[royal lotus]

so pick up the 6400 or 6000 mghz

[mossy venture]

I'll grab a link to a kit, do you want rgb?

[potent portal]

7200 would only run with desync on uclk so it actually performs worse than 6000 synced to add to this

[royal lotus]

im buying off the tik tok shop so an rgb g skill kit is prefered

[mossy venture]

First option

[little osprey]

@mossy venture

[mossy venture]

Brand doesn't really matter, that would be my suggestion

[mossy venture]

Sorry one min

[little osprey]

U good

[mossy venture]

I'll grab a g.skill kit in a second though

[royal lotus]

alright

[mossy venture]

Not as good as the teamgroup kit, but fine

[royal lotus]

what makes the team group kit better

[mossy venture]

I'd say just leave it at stock imo. If you notice Temps getting too high then I'd make a more aggressive fan curve

[mossy venture]

It has a low CAS latency

6000c30 vs 6000c38

[royal lotus]

oh fr

damn ok

[mossy venture]

It also has a hynix die instead of Samsung or micron, which that g.skill kit has

Hynix is a lot better for ram tuning

Like, not even comparable

[cyan ravine]

G.skill software sucks my guy, the trident heatsinks as well. Would recc TG over them

[royal lotus]

ok thanks

[cyan ravine]

TG kits tend to be better in ddr5 of late

Unless you buy the stupid good ones

Like 8000+

[royal lotus]

i have a tg kit in my current pc rn as well

[potent portal]

The only good thing about g.skill is the warranty really

[cyan ravine]

And pay a fortune for no gain

[royal lotus]

tik tok shop just had a hella good deal

teamgroup works too tho

[little osprey]

Yeah, I did just upgrade my CPU, which is why I'm guessing my temps are quite high atm.....however, I'm gonna restart my PC once all my updates are done downloading and hope my temps can regulate a little bit (If restarting helps tho)....I went from a Ryzen 5 5600x to an R7 5800x3D

[cyan ravine]

I like the TG rgb. It's so much less flaky than g.skill

I don't like rgb, but if I had to pick I'd take TG pretty easily

As divisive as it may look to some (the pics do no justice)

[royal lotus]

do you know of any good micro atx cases on the tik tok shop

[little osprey]

@mossy venture alr so my temps are averaging between 51-55c when not playing a game. Yeah I do have a lot on my desktop, but I'm trying to make sure....

cause with my old CPU it used to fall around 39-45c

when not playing a game of course

[potent portal]

Load temps matter, idle doesn't unless it's like 80 at idle

But if you want to make the curve more aggressive you just shift everything left a little

[little osprey]

So is it alright? Can I try something to check the temps?

[mossy venture]

H5 flow, pop air mini, montech air 100

First three that come to mind

[little osprey]

yeah I think I made it Full Speed

[cyan ravine]

Nova m mesh

Not on tt

[little osprey]

I'ma try hoppin on a game of Siege to test out the temps

[marsh kiln]

any suggestions on printers i need something that is kinda cheap but also ink is cheap

[potent portal]

Something Brother, or at least nothing HP

HP gets you with cheap printers and then they charge double for ink, while preventing you from using third party ink

[marsh kiln]

yea i know we got a free hp one and if you dont use it in a month it drys up and its another 24 dollars for one

[royal lotus]

does tg make good ssds?

[potent portal]

Yeah, MP33, MP34, MP44, all good

[mellow meteor]

are there any alternatives to this? https://www.microcenter.com/product/668360/asus-rog-strix-ga15-g15dk-ga15dk-mb786-gaming-pc

[royal lotus]

anything much better for the price

[marsh kiln]

2tb for 77 dollars i could not complain about that price

[potent portal]

Nothing significantly better in the price range, the stuff around that $40 per TB mark is more or less the same

[plucky timber]

Can definitely recommend brother

I bought a brother printer in 2020

Still running on the ink it came with

[potent portal]

Plus brother doesn't lock you out of using the third party "XL" cartidges that cost half of a standard first party one

[plucky timber]

Mine is refillable

[potent portal]

Even better

[plucky timber]

But I'm happy to give them my money cuz like

It's like $20 every 2 years for my usage

Where as hp is $20 every 2 weeks

[royal lotus]

do you know anything about gamemax cases

[mossy venture]

Depends on the model

[mossy venture]

Also any reason you prefer matx?

If its bc matx mobo, matx mobos fit in atx cases and don't really look weird

[royal lotus]

price point non the motherboard

[mossy venture]

How much you spending on the whole build?

[royal lotus]

around 1200

idk how much tik tok saved me

[mossy venture]

Dope, could possibly fit a 4070 ti in there

Mind giving me a few and seeing what I throw together?

[royal lotus]

i already ordered a 6800xt

[mossy venture]

Ah alr

Anything else you order?

[royal lotus]

literslly everything except thr case

[mossy venture]

Ah alright

What cpu you go for?

[royal lotus]

7600

[low path]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8bvbCd This but i get the gigabyte b650m Gaming x mobo and then the phantom spirit from thermalright cpu cooler Heres the final list :) about to start the order

hopefully same time frame

[mossy venture]

This the case you were looking at?

And nice, 7600+6800xt nice combo

[royal lotus]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RXDfFs

this is what i have rn

minus the case

looking for a white case

[mossy venture]

Oh you ordered it all already?

If not p41 plus is a bit better of an ssd and $62 on pcp

[royal lotus]

well shoot

[mossy venture]

It's not a huge difference, I wouldn't worry about it too much

[royal lotus]

i got 50 bucks off from a 100 dollar order

[mossy venture]

Overall that is a very nice list

[mossy venture]

For tiktok?

[royal lotus]

is there anything else i might need

[royal lotus]

yes

[mossy venture]

Do you have a monitor yet?

[royal lotus]

yup

[mossy venture]

Is it 1440p?

[royal lotus]

bought a refurbished 280 hz acer predator for 130

its 1080

[mossy venture]

What games do you plan to play?

If you play a lot of first person shooters like valorant and csgo that's fine

[royal lotus]

Siege, fortnite, valorant

yeah

[mossy venture]

Hm alright, then I guess it's up to you

What would you rather have

Better image quality, bit lower fps

[royal lotus]

id kinda rather the fps

[mossy venture]

Or worse image quality, possibly seeing individual pixels if it's 27", and higher fps

[royal lotus]

it is 27

[mossy venture]

1080p pixel density at 27" is pretty meh, but you can always upgrade later

[royal lotus]

it was a steal so at the very least its a second monitor

[mossy venture]

You could have two, use that one for games like val and csgo and then a 1440p 144-170hz one for games where it's not as important

Yeah $130 for that isn't bad

[royal lotus]

indeed

[mossy venture]

What about this case?

The front does look weird imo

But it's pretty solid

Also 903 Max, but thats a huge case

[royal lotus]

yeah im stumped on a case

[mossy venture]

4000d airflow white also $60 after coupon

3000d airflow white same price

G360a $100 before coupon

Also did you get mouse/keeb/mic/headset

[royal lotus]

i have all of it

[mossy venture]

Ah kk

[royal lotus]

custom keyboard

model d

fifine k699

getting a headset for christmas

[mossy venture]

What about mouse pad?

[royal lotus]

thats actually something that could use upgrading

[earnest olive]

what is my prof cooking in this homework

[royal lotus]

i have a random corsair one

[earnest olive]

what does having an rtx 3090 have to do with lunch 👀

[low path]

this is good right im good to order?

[earnest olive]

is she eating 3090s for lunch

[earnest olive]

are you planning to do manual ram tuning?

[low path]

mhm

[earnest olive]

ok just making sure

that ram kit would be hard to recommend for casual plug and play

[low path]

yea only reason for that ram iv never ram tuned but felix says it takes like 5mins to do

[earnest olive]

depends on how far you want to get into it

but yeah you can have it matching good xmp ram in 5 minutes

save a couple bucks

[low path]

Yea thats waht im shooting for

[earnest olive]

if i were you i'd bump the air cooler up to something like a pa120 for like $15

just seems kinda strange to have such a low end cooler in a $2k build

[low path]

im getting the phantom spirit from thermalright cpu cooler

[earnest olive]

it'll keep the 7800x3d from throttling but the pa120 is worth $15 extra at this budget i think

[low path]

is that good?
