Would it still turn on even if that isn't in?

Goal is to have everything turn on by end of night. Will work on rest tmrw and do cable management tmrw just need to have it turn on lol

I'ma assume it doesn't ngl cause ts didn't turn on the slightest bit

[little osprey]

Is this even worth it?

NZXT H9 Flow Dual-Chamber ATX Mid-Tower PC

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG1GQKKY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Price is High

is it really good quality?

[lone flame]

its high end nzxt so good quality

its a direct 011 clone thats a bit cheaper

the o11s I see on amazon are generally more expensive

its a solid case just dont use nzxt fans they aren't good

[little osprey]

can you give me a better case?

White

same design

But cheaper?

Mabye one that comes with 4 fans?

[lone flame]

similar style and you get a bunch of fans https://www.newegg.com/white-montech-king-95/p/N82E16811970006

currently is backordered on newegg and amazon though

[mossy venture]

Sky two

Similar look and cheaper than either

Also king 95 non pro

Can grab a pack of 2 of white c12c's

[lone flame]

h6 is also good for airflow and is likely what I will end up getting but in black, has 3 rgb fans for around 140 i think

non rgb is closer to 110

[mossy venture]

The fans are ass in it tho

[cyan ravine]

No

[little osprey]

@mossy venture @lone flame

[mossy venture]

Eh

[cyan ravine]

There's nothing inherently wrong with a H9 but the price itself makes it horrible

[fading iris]

Felix stopping building for tonight but do u know if the square plug has to be in for PC to work?

[cyan ravine]

The fans aren't great either

[little osprey]

I really dont want to buy the NZXT for $150. Am looking for a design like ^ with atlast 4 fans yk

[cyan ravine]

If you want the rest of the usb to work yes

[fading iris]

If u rlly like design u could buy a used

[cyan ravine]

Montech king95 pro

[little osprey]

only $10 cheaper

[fading iris]

Wdym rest of usb

[cyan ravine]

Usb on the case

[fading iris]

Oh

So that means two things r messed up. Thx lol

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NNWbZJ

[cyan ravine]

Hey I didn't recommend that case lol

You bought it

[fading iris]

😭

[cyan ravine]

If it has plug issues that's a manufacturer issue

[fading iris]

I don't think it's the case though but I could be wrong

Would plug issues stop all of it from turning on?

[cyan ravine]

Are you sure you're plugging it properly

[fading iris]

I think I may of just wired something wrong

[cyan ravine]

It only goes in one specific way

[fading iris]

Plugged in*

[cyan ravine]

That's why it has a notch

Also with c12c's

[fading iris]

Too tired to even comprehend anything

I'ma take motherboard out tmrw and re wire everything from start

[cyan ravine]

They've made the discord ui worse today I can't

I can't toggle and swipe between anything this is horrible

[cyan ravine]

That's just an extra step that wouldn't do anything

[mossy venture]

I'm not updating

[fading iris]

Re wiring everything wouldn't help?

I mean like unscrew Mobo and actually redo everything

Besides cpu

[cyan ravine]

Taking the mobo out won't do anything

The only time that would do something is if you ran cables behind the board

And even then you have to be so damn careful

[mossy venture]

Did you check the power sw cable

[fading iris]

Sw?

[mossy venture]

It's a little two by one thing that goes on the bottom right of the mobo

[fading iris]

Is that the cable that goes from wall to psu

[mossy venture]

It's what enables the case power button to turn the pc on

[fading iris]

Is it called f panel?

[mossy venture]

Google power sw

Some cases it'll be a couple cables, others little just be one

[cyan ravine]

It's called f panel yes

[mossy venture]

Is it?

[fading iris]

I think I plugged that in bottom right

Lemme go to other room n check

[mossy venture]

Do diff manufacturers do diff names?

[mossy venture]

Send a pic if you can, I put mine in incorrectly and spent way too long looking at various things

[fading iris]

Still not working will send pic tho

[cyan ravine]

[fading iris]

Had no clue will check it out

[little osprey]

am just going to get the NZXT one

and go from 64 gb of memory

to 32 gbs of memory

to save costs

[fading iris]

What do u need 64 gb for?

[little osprey]

unless

[fading iris]

Just curious

[little osprey]

Video editing, code running in the background, creating websites/applications, API usage, video game development, more code running in the background, and more code, did I forgot to mention more code running in the IDE

[fading iris]

💀

[little osprey]

do you think 64gb is that necessary?

[fading iris]

Wdym

[little osprey]

?

[fading iris]

?

[little osprey]

ugly cat tbh

mine better

[fading iris]

Joke of a comment lol

Felix and bacca

Would either of u suggest to sit for a bit tmrw and try n find issue? Felix suggested to watch vid if I'm having this much trouble but didn't u say to be super careful or its a risk to take Mobo out and redo stuff

I don't mind either just wanna pick safest option

[cyan ravine]

What kind of video editing

[cyan ravine]

I'm saying there's no point to removing the mobo lol

[little osprey]

Content creation, 1440p, 4k

[cyan ravine]

You'll remove it then just put it straight back

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NxJVRK

Am just trying to do

[cyan ravine]

You want 64gb

[little osprey]

budget cutting

[cyan ravine]

Wha

[little osprey]

making my head hurt

[cyan ravine]

This is not for gaming yes

[little osprey]

what?

[cyan ravine]

Is this also a gaming pc yes or no

[little osprey]

yes

[cyan ravine]

Ok

Brb

[dreamy obsidian]

I think my psu might have fried? anyone know how to make sure it is?

[little osprey]

💀

Did you hear any sounds

any smoke?

[dreamy obsidian]

I might have heard a pop but no smoke or smell

[little osprey]

it doesnt let you turn on the pc right?

[dreamy obsidian]

no

wait

yes

[little osprey]

?

[dreamy obsidian]

it doesn’t turn on

[little osprey]

can you look into it

anything wrong?

anything burned?

[dreamy obsidian]

The psu?

[little osprey]

yes

[mossy venture]

Do 48gb

$170

Tho black

[little osprey]

@mossy venture Thats your thoughts on me just doing 32gb and then doing another 32gb later on the road

Am tryna cut the budget a little

and its hurting my head badly

[cyan ravine]

@little osprey can you stretch over 1500 at all

[little osprey]

just let me know your suggestions

is the second option worth it?

[cyan ravine]

I'm doing the list

[little osprey]

thank you

[cyan ravine]

I can make a really nice white list for 1600 is why I'm asking

[little osprey]

sure do it

[cyan ravine]

Alr

[little osprey]

just dont change the GPU since I already bought it 💀

[cyan ravine]

I'm changing the gpu

[little osprey]

I cant

already bought it and have it at home

[mossy venture]

4 sticks on ddr5 isn't easy to run

I'd just grab a 64gb and sell the 32gb kit

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9RhgN6

[little osprey]

might just go with the 64gb and bite the bullet tbh

[cyan ravine]

4060ti is...painful

For anything not games

Bit bus cringe

Plus a far better gpu fits in the budget

Good like, 40-50% faster

[little osprey]

whats your thoughts on this tho

these two cpus

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/589689072692494356/1209733322490781706/image.png?ex=65e7fef3&is=65d589f3&hm=ca96ccf79e7bf3812309e9356ddc173d4e5b520ac8cfb5b4ed26cf84a24fa65a&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1036&height=103

How much difference

are we looking at/

[cyan ravine]

Well one is a gaming cpu but I kept it there

The other I almost never recommend because 7600 non-x is plain better

[lone flame]

can confirm

[cyan ravine]

Between 7600 and 7800X3D, you gain two cores

Which for editing work helps

But at the same time, depends if you see the value in that incremental change

33% more multicore (not truly this but more or less)

The gpu though I would absolutely change

It gets bested even by the 3060 Ti in anything not to do with AV1

[little osprey]

yea thats 100% forsure something I will change in the future

[cyan ravine]

And additionally

The radeon cpu has av1 encode on the igpu

So like

It completely ruins the point of 4060ti

[little osprey]

1 more question

the Micro ATX motherboard

and the ATX motherboard

what are the major differences?

[cyan ravine]

It's just space for more slots

It used to be a quality difference

But nowadays, especially with AM5

It's really just slots

[little osprey]

so am trying to have a good amount of fans

would the micro stop that

[cyan ravine]

You shouldn't need any more fans with my list

If you buy the h9 I believe you need to also buy fans

And if I had to has it a guess

I'm thinking you want like unifans lmao

Which will destroy your budget

[little osprey]

Well the biggest issue is probably the case

[cyan ravine]

I know of fans like unifans that aren't $30+ each, we found them yesterday in fact

[little osprey]

Case is causing most of the probloms

[cyan ravine]

You don't need a h9

[little osprey]

But the case design is soo good tho

[cyan ravine]

Lol

I could recommend a 7800xt but you'd be strictly bound to less use cases like obs

Nvenc still has some advantages in versatility

But the upshot is you'd be almost as well off and you'd fit the case

[little osprey]

I apreciate the help

Your awesome

[cyan ravine]

Let me grab the fans and show you what it looks like then ima dip

[little osprey]

kk

[cyan ravine]

Actually 7800xt+7800x3d doesn't fit
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8MdmKX
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fbf9PF

It'd* be one of these two

[little osprey]

sounds good thank you

[cyan ravine]

Wouldn't even try this with a 4060 Ti

[little osprey]

enjoy the rest of your night

[cyan ravine]

$255 in case and fans lol

Alr

Also does f panel go into panel 1

[little osprey]

https://a.co/d/2jgbcgx

Is this a good case?

And how do I know if it has a fan controller

[little osprey]

Literally no one understands how they work

I tried to put them

And had my RGB button my power off

[crimson zinc]

I’ll suggest a better one

One sec

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8QMMnQ/nzxt-h6-flow-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-h61fw-01

Little bit more expensive, but much more trustworthy

[little osprey]

@crimson zinc a question for you

So

Does it come with RGB controllers?

Fan Hub*

[tawny violet]

Can you guys recommend me an ATX case that
-can take a 360mm AIO (preferably in the front)
-has front mesh
And
-has both a physical reset switch and an RGB control button

[potent portal]

No hub of any kind

[potent portal]

Budget?

[tawny violet]

Preferably below 50k HUF but if I have to go higher that's okay

[potent portal]

Any other needs like HDD bays, USB C, or a specific color?

[tawny violet]

HDD bays are nice to have, USB C is nice to have, and black or blue is preferred

But neither is truly necessary

@potent portal thankies for the help man

Montech Air 903 Max

[tawny violet]

HOW

HOW THE HELL IS IT THAT CHEAP????

[potent portal]

No idea but it ticks every feature

And includes 4x 140mm fans

[little osprey]

So do I need to buy a hub?

[tawny violet]

AND Type C

[little osprey]

Can you provide me with one?

[tawny violet]

Actually bloody goated

[little osprey]

that

PC Case

is too good

[little osprey]

Ive had that pc case before

Very decent

[tawny violet]

And CHEAP for what it has

Like

Holy crap

That's ridiculously good

[potent portal]

I just get splitter cables, it's easier and cheaper. You can get 4 way splitters for each header.

But that could end up messy with lots of fans

[little osprey]

you know what

I might just cancel it

and get the cas

case you just showed me

Comes with a hub already

[severe hull]

Sup everyone. So I'm done building what I can on the new pc. Now all I need to swap over from thr old pc is GPU RAM and SSD. how do I do this so everything works . Windows apps etc or is it plug and play boot up and set bios ?

[potent portal]

What are the old and new motherboard models?

Sometimes there's weird bugs carrying a windows install forward but often it just works

Ooh I forgot J2C made a vid on the 903 Max https://youtu.be/MYifOiO0ZPI?si=Wsl5HfOPP2gqJ2qk

[tawny violet]

Why did I never know about it then

[little osprey]

how are the crucial p3 plus 2tb ssds

[potent portal]

They're ok

Nothing particularly special but acceptable

[dusky hearth]

imo top mount aio is better because bubbles (probably) stay up better

also more compatible with more aios because some aios have way too short cables to have tubes down

on front mount

cables?

tubes too short*

[severe hull]

Old one is a biostar a320m new one is gigabyte b550m

[potent portal]

Should be no problem using your old windows install then. Just be sure to install the updated chipset drivers.

[severe hull]

After booting up with parts installed

[potent portal]

Yes

[fading iris]

Completely lost and have no clue what to do. PC still not working lol

Someone suggested to short the two pins uses for power sw and I did that no signal

They then suggested to try n short the 24 pin by putting paperclip in two areas.

Ts didn't work either. . Does anyone have any suggestions they think somehow may be the root to this

[strong raft]

No signal, do you just mean the pc/mobo turns on but no display on the monitor? If so & using DisplayPort, swap to an hdmi cable.

[potent portal]

Like this? And nothing happened when you switched on the power supply?
That's a test to see if the power supply is dead so if the fan on the PSU didn't spin either it's dead or it has a zero rpm/hybrid mode. What model PSU?

[fading iris]

Gf1 2024

😔 the one I was warned Abt

[potent portal]

Ah the new model they did on a new platform that hasn't been reviewed yet

[fading iris]

Yes😔

[potent portal]

It has a switch by the power cord for "smart zero fan mode", is that off?

[open jungle]

figured out my psu has a hybrid mode after i put it together and i still have no clue wether its turned on or not

[fading iris]

Lemme check in a sec

[fading iris]

Tried both ways and doesn't work still

[potent portal]

Either it's dead or short circuit protection was triggered

You can test for the SCP by unplugging everything except the 24 pin and testing again

Making sure the smart fan is off

[fading iris]

Just to clarify it saying to take out all PSU cables except for 24 pin?

N then turn on while smart fan is off. That I understand but do u want me to unplug everything everything

Or just PSU cables

N unplug both sides or just only from mobo

[potent portal]

You can unplug from the power supply side only

Then unplug the 24 pin from the motherboard and do the paperclip test again

[fading iris]

Nothing

I'm assuming that confirms a dead PSU?

[fading iris]

Or r there still other test needed

[potent portal]

If the fan didn't spin then it's dead

[fading iris]

Nothing not even the lights 😭

I'ma go buy one from Best buy tmrw if they have it and then I'ma test that n then if it turns on I'ma use that temporary until I order a decent one and return this one

Out or curiousity tho incase I get too lazy to replace r these bad?

I got cable extensions so color won't matter just need to know if they r decently rated in your opinion or wtv

[fading iris]

Oh and one more question for now but if my case comes with pre installed fans should do the hub need to connect to PSU or motherboard or some form of power

Because there is a hub in back that has all fans connected to it but it's not connected to motherboard or PSU so idk if that will power on its own when I turn on case/PC or if I need to connect

[potent portal]

RMe are top tier, all the RM series is

[potent portal]

Most hubs you need to connect to the motherboard for the rpm control and the power supply SATA cable for supplemental power.

[fading iris]

So connect sata cable to hub and then through that connect to Mobo?

[potent portal]

Yes

SATA power specifically from the PSU

And the hub will have a standard fan header plug to control fan speeds

[tawny violet]

Okay admittedly for this specific case I agree, since the pre-installed 140s are there, so more lighting can go up top :3

[fading iris]

Ok thx

[ornate solstice]

Hey guys can some send me a part list for a pc $500-$700 budget

[crimson zinc]

Any specific wants or needs?

(Aka peripherals needed or colour choices)

[mossy venture]

Wifi
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HjGnFs

No wifi
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9kDkyg

[lyric thistle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MrManiac3/saved/pP664D

Idk

[cyan ravine]

Idk

[crimson zinc]

Could also go for a $100 used 1080

Not as good performance tho

[lyric thistle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MrManiac3/saved/sTWfmG

Idk2

(I stole bacca's PSU)

[ornate solstice]

nope just mainly want to be able to play cod/fortnite he says he wants a midend pc

[mossy venture]

Then I'd do one of the two I linked above, and if it needs to be cheaper I'd grab this gpu

https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-6600-xt-rx-6600-xt-mech-2x-8g/p/N82E16814137876?Item=N82E16814137876&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-14-137-876-_-02222024

[ornate solstice]

thank you and honestly the one with wifi should be good

Can y’all upgrade this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QKMT34

this is my build

[lyric thistle]

This would be too little of an upgrade imo

3700x and 5700xt is fine

[cyan ravine]

Get an ssd

Silicon power A60 1TB

Your performance will EXPLODE

Then I'd consider a case change

Like, nova m mesh

Gamemax spark or m60

G360a

Something like that

[potent portal]

You can get up to 40% more fps by upgrading CPU to a 5600X3D/5700X3D, they match the 7600 for fps. That plus a GPU upgrade, maybe RAM depending on what you have.

[ornate solstice]

i have 2 sticks of 16gb ram ddr4

Thank you guys will take all into consideration

[mossy venture]

Case isn't bad, as long as you have a couple fans it's fine

It's far from the best but imo not really worth replacing atm

It used to be one of my goto budget recommendations lol

[crimson zinc]

@little osprey no destiny open, -4/10 smh smh

nice setup tho, very smooth colours

[fading iris]

@potent portal sorry for tag if u care Abt that but yeh it was a PSU issue

Bought a new PSU today and it's working fine everything is running besides fans so just need to hook those.up

Plugged display port into monitor and pc and for don't odd reason it says no HDMI connected. Why is it not recognizing display port?

[potent portal]

Is the monitor set to the right input?

[fading iris]

R u asking if I put the HDMI in the display port?

If not how would I switch that from outside

Manual has no information besides how to put it together and it barely explains that

[potent portal]

The monitor has multiple input ports, right? You have to tell the monitor which one you want to watch. The method to do so varies by monitor.

[fading iris]

Ok thx

[open jungle]

I think I have hybrid mode turned on lol

My PSU fans isn’t spinning at all

Whoops

[fading iris]

Did u just get psu

[open jungle]

Like 2 months ago lol

Didn’t realize it had a hybrid switch

[potent portal]

Having hybrid mode on is fine. It just makes the fan stop when the temp is low. You just want it off for testing purposes.

[flat tinsel]

Can someone create me a $1000 build profile in new egg that can play Valorant with playable fps? it's the budget my friend has...

[fading iris]

Is this with monitor ?

[rain carbon]

Probably peripherals too

[languid nimbus]

would use pcpartpicker personally, parts can be OOS/cheaper on different sites

[rain carbon]

Pcpartpicker is the #1 place to go for building your PC, and if there's a part that's good value on new egg go for it

[flat tinsel]

without monitor

yeah hook me up w/ a part picker for 1k

[mossy venture]

Imo something like this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gvtkyg

Or one sec

Making a second option

[rain carbon]

Gotta take tax into account here too

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JfLpJy

Second one around 30% better gpu performance, 8% worse cpu perf in gaming, and worse cpu upgradability

They can easily swap the gpu out for a cheaper one if wanted

[rain carbon]

Fair

Maybe get one used

[mossy venture]

7600, 6700xt, 6800, 6800xt are the gpus that should be considered at this budget, or a refurb 3070 from zotac for $300

Or used yeah

[rain carbon]

As much as i love amd the refurbished 3070 might be the best choice here

[mossy venture]

Yeah it is

[flat tinsel]

THANKS GUYS/GIRLS!!!

[leaden mauve]

Nah, ebay is

[fading iris]

Why is my monitor stuck like this

https://a.co/d/7GnhSjR

When I had it in HDMI cord connected to Mobo it went to bios aswell but was bigger. When I have it like this it's almost like the resolution just turns different now that I have display port in mobo

Also resolution says 2560x1440

[warm mesa]

Well, i just wanna know if it is hard to make one that is publicly visible

[analog hearth]

Its not hard at all. Just disable "Private" in the list's Details section

[warm mesa]

thanks mate

[forest lava]

My new psu came in

Now my hate for the 24 pin connector is reignited

[lyric thistle]

Until you plug it in and forget about it

Until next time

[forest lava]

indeed

This is torture

"You don't wanna talk, huh? Let's see how you fare against unplugging and plugging a 24 pin for the next five minutes..."

Ok so I’m looking to sell my PC and what do you think a fair price to sell it at is these are the specs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dG4Yt7

Im looking to build a new system

[mossy venture]

I'd say on a good day 1250-1400

Might be better of parting it out, im not certain

Specifically bc of the cpu/gpu pairing

3090 has been going for 700-750 iirc because of the vram

[south cliff]

Yeah but it’s painted white

So value drop probably

[mossy venture]

Being evga adds value, because people are weird

[forest lava]

Would there be any issue with having dried basil leaves in my pc?

I need a way to ward these stupid bugs off, especially since I'm in an apartment and can't do much about my infestation

[earnest olive]

no

[fading iris]

Trying to download windows to put on a USB in dads old computer. When it ask if I want to base it or wtv off of this computers requirement I click off of it and then when it's "done" downloading it messes it won't go through and has issues. Was wondering if pressing to base it off of requirements on dads laptop would be bad for a way better PC if that made sense

[halcyon agate]

@obsidian wigeon hey is there some gaming laptops you might could recommend? Someone mentioned I should ask you . I just went back to Best Buy & returned a legion 5 slim15.6 with 16 ram & 4060 & 512 SSD for $1500

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zxw7YJ/samsung-970-evo-plus-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-mz-v7s1t0bam

Does anyone know

if this is the best Storage for 1TB?

[mossy venture]

P41 plus should be $65

Grab that

[little osprey]

@mossy venture Just to confirm with you

Same speed

Same quality?

Am tryna have my PC last a long time

[mossy venture]

P41 plus>970 evo plus

[little osprey]

cool preciate it

@mossy venture Just making sure Silicon Power P34 is worse right?

[mossy venture]

P34?

Never heard of it

[stoic island]

P34a80 is equivalent of evo plus, slower than p41 plus

[mossy venture]

Ah

I just know it as a80 lol

[south cliff]

is p41 plus the best option for m.2 drives?

[stoic island]

Yea there's the p34a80 and there's the p34a60

[mossy venture]

Depends on price

Atm 2tb, I would go mp44l or gm7000

[stoic island]

It's just the best priced one recently

[mossy venture]

1tb, p41 plus

[lyric thistle]

The a60 is dramless right

[little osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/SolidigmTM-Internal-Solid-State-SSDPFKNU010TZX1/dp/B0B983Y4QD?th=1

So this would be the best one

^

Faster than the Samsung EVO

[mossy venture]

It's $65 somewhere

But yeah

[stoic island]

Yea a60 has hmb

[mossy venture]

I think newegg

[little osprey]

got a link?

preciate it

thx

Missing 3 more components until I can build my PC

[mossy venture]

Which ones?

[little osprey]

CPU Motherboard and Memory

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor

MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard

Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith Gaming 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory

[mossy venture]

If you want, this is a lil bit better than the plus wifi
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tz2WGX/asrock-b650e-pg-riptide-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-b650e-pg-riptide-wifi

[little osprey]

Can I know why please

[mossy venture]

main reason it has another m.2 slot

aside from that slightly better vrms, but nothing major

same difference honestly

[little osprey]

👍

thank you

[spare vale]

Is there a decent 200~ (can be less) AM5 mobo w/ wifi (preferably black) thank you.

[mossy venture]

B650m-a wifi, pg riptide wifi, eagle ax, gaming x ax, gaming plus wifi, or aorus elite ax v2

[spare vale]

Thank you!

[mossy venture]

I might sell my laptop to my dad (1340p mx550) and try to get an rdna2 apu laptop used or on sale

[south cliff]

only bad thing is that the charger is a 150 watt

[mossy venture]

Bc this one is just disappointing me all around, temps get insanely high gaming on a 10w gpu

[south cliff]

instead of the og 280 watt

[mossy venture]

It doesnt run anything even semi well

[south cliff]

would that affect the laptop

?

[mossy venture]

Hell fortnite runs at 30 fps on the worst settings with the weird rendering engine

I don't believe so

I used a 65w charger for a 180w charger laptop a while back w/o issue

[south cliff]

it just charges slower?

thats what i think

but 350 for it isw a steal

[mossy venture]

Yeah

100%

[south cliff]

facebook market place does good

Also i have a quick question the lightbar on my case doesent light up anymore

even when i plug it directly in to mobo

no spliters

[spare vale]

Is the b650m-a (wifi) good for a 7 7700x?

[cyan ravine]

Sure

But go 7700 instead of X

Exact same cpu but cheaper, less power out of the box, and comes with a cooler

[spare vale]

Okay, thank you.

[proud shard]

What’s a good motherboard for I5 and Gtx 1080

[dusky hearth]

you gotta specific more details
there are so many i5 cpus

there has been at least 14 different i5 cpus at this point

probably more around like 30 or 40

[proud shard]

tbh I’m not exactly sure it’s for my buddy and he just bought a random pc and looking to upgrade some bits and pieces he’s most likely gonna be upgrading the cpu and and cpu cooler

At the moment he’s running a ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer mother board

[dusky hearth]

what's their budget

z97 is a 4th/5th gen board chipset 💀

quite old

[lyric thistle]

it's also the highest end you'd reasonably ask for

upgrade the cpu not the motherboard

[cyan ravine]

I have to know what was paid for this

[dusky hearth]

1 million dollars

[cyan ravine]

Probably some 45xx-k and a 1080, 550w psu, 512gb-1tb ssd.
Hoping the answer is something like $400

[proud shard]

250$

[lyric thistle]

watch it be 4460

[cyan ravine]

Ok good

Probably just drop in some ddr5, 7600 and an a620m pro rs wifi

Silicon power 6000 cl30 32gb

$93+129.99+ ~$210

[proud shard]

He got it with gtx 750 ti and upgraded the gpu to Gtx 1080

[cyan ravine]

Something like that would be meaningful

Making sure the psu is ok

[proud shard]

He said he has a budget of 1k but I think at that point it would be better building a new setup wouldn’t it ?

[cyan ravine]

1k including monitor or nah

[proud shard]

He already has a monitor and whole setup he just wants to upgrade his pc

[cyan ravine]

Do you know what kind of monitor

1080p, 1440p, 60hz, 144hz, 240hz

Etc

[proud shard]

60hz

he told me right now he’s wanna fresh setup with all new parts and something nice budget 1k he might go a little over

[cyan ravine]

@proud shard if he sells the pc he has rn can he include that in the budget

I'd wager something like 1300-1400 overall, monitor must upgrade if only 60hz

That makes a 7600+ 7800XT build with a g272qpf (1440p 170hz)

Example
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mDsxCd

Runner up
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DhwKbL

Better but you'd make your own xmp, takes 5 minutes to do:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MWvhxH

If strictly 1K no exceptions @proud shard
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6xvhxH

[mossy venture]

There's also other gpu options in #tech-deals

[lone flame]

The asrock 6900 oc I think has to be my 2nd favorite 6000 design I love the green

[atomic epoch]

Building a PC for a friend, how's this for a $1500 or maybe $1600 budget? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CgvcPF

[lone flame]

if its 1600 you can see about squeezing in a 7800 XT

if all he cares about is gaming thats a better option that the 4060ti

[atomic epoch]

thanks and yes it's for gaming

[lone flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CvTRh3

still 100 under

you could maybe get cheaper ram and storage but other than that its a good list

[atomic epoch]

thanks for the help

[earnest gust]

Does anyone know what a 6 pin L shaped power connector for I think sata would plug into?

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rD4vCd

Can also grab a 4070 super, 7800xt, or there's a refurb 6900xt in #tech-deals

[vale birch]

Hi All, lookng to upgrade my Lenovo Legion T5 ARA8 9OUX (RAM + CPU) currently 32GB Ryzen 9 7900...wondering if anyone knows or has experience in which might be the best compatibl CPU. (((GPU Nvidia 4090 24GB w 1000KwH power)

[analog hearth]

I hope you're joking

[cosmic sparrow]

I’m looking for a different video card for this build but I’m not sure what to get

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/329dMV

Mainly because it’s been out of stock

[fading iris]

If I am switching to a Ethernet cable but my Mobo has wifi would I only need to take off antennas and then just plug in Ethernet cable to Mobo and router or would I need to do anything else?

[mossy venture]

If you need it to be white
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/R8jRsY/zotac-gaming-trinity-oc-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-12-gb-video-card-zt-d40710q-10p

[mossy venture]

Should be able to just connect the cable

[cosmic sparrow]

Honestly doesn’t matter to me but matching is a plus

As long as it works then I’m good

[mossy venture]

There's also this if you want cheaper
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QksV3C/asus-dual-oc-geforce-rtx-4070-super-12-gb-video-card-dual-rtx4070s-o12g-white

Far better value than an $800 4070 ti

7800xt is also $520 for white

[cosmic sparrow]

Which would last longer and work better

[mossy venture]

Aside from that I'll grab some non white options

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx6900xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930057T?Item=N82E16814930057T&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-14-930-057T-_-02232024

[cosmic sparrow]

The best one you could find is good for me

[mossy venture]

Wdym by best one

[lyric thistle]

You don't need to make any physical changes to switch from wifi to wired networking and vice versa

[cosmic sparrow]

Most power, something like that idk I haven’t slept for 2 days

[mossy venture]

What's your budget for the gpu?

Xtx is around $930, that's just straight up the best aside from 4090

[cosmic sparrow]

$800

[mossy venture]

Ok one sec

[cosmic sparrow]

👍

[cyan ravine]

Open box 4080 for 828

Or
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3BQcCJ/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-7900-xt-20-gb-video-card-11323-02-20g

Or yes open box 4080 if it's still in stock

I forgot about that

[cyan ravine]

It is

[mossy venture]

Can you link it if you have it on hand?

[cyan ravine]

I don't lol

Zotac store.com/somethingsomethingheyzotaccanyoulinkrqplsthx

[mossy venture]

https://www.zotacstore.com/us/zt-d40810d-10p-o

Got it from tech deals

[cyan ravine]

I was about to paste it lol

[mossy venture]

@cosmic sparrow hands down the best you'll find around the price

It is outta budget though, so if you dont want to go for it 4070 ti, 7900xt, or that refurb 6900xt are great options

[cosmic sparrow]

That is definitely a good value

Gonna go with that

[fading iris]

Someone said to turn off Wifi in settings..true

[fading iris]

Didn't work. Any idea?

I have it plugged in router and then all the way up stairs n then plugged into side of mobo

The end where the Ethernet is plugged in is yellow and orange lights but that's Abt it

[lyric thistle]

Sounds like it's connected lol

[fading iris]

Someone said I have to delete the network completely. Does that mean just forget the network

[lyric thistle]

maybe

idk I just fiddle with things until it works tbh

[potent portal]

If I want to use ethernet I just disable the wifi card in bios personally

My bios gives me the option to disable just the wifi part and leave bluetooth enabled too

[lyric thistle]

does disabling it in device manager do the same thing

[potent portal]

Kinda yeah

Just at a driver level instead of a firmware level

[fading iris]

Opinion on this?

Don't know if getting new router would all of a sudden make it work but regardless I need new wifi in general so opinions?

[potent portal]

Wifi 6 bad
Wifi 6E good

I can get more technical on why if you want lol

[lone flame]

more antennas better wifi

thats totally how it works

[potent portal]

Bigger number better right? ||/s||

[lone flame]

obv

just like how more cpu cores = better gaming performance

[potent portal]

So then this is the best consoomer router around ||not really don't buy it||

[south cliff]

Im looking to sell my computer but my gpu so i get some money so i can can make a better and up to date system and was wondering if this is a decent build for 1100 with no gpu of course https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xfYBYN

[broken lake]

anyone got any recommendations for a 4060 build around $1000??

or maybe something better

[plucky timber]

Nope

The lack of a gpu really harms its value

For reference

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yQDVRK

This is what they could get for $100 more

I'd lower the price by $150 at least

[cyan ravine]

I think the question is being misunderstood here

[south cliff]

OK well change of plans I'm selling the whole system and should have about 1900 to spend

[cyan ravine]

that makes it easy

give me 1 minute

[south cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q9kPL9

this is the build i came up with

[cyan ravine]

I can do better

[broken lake]

is this a good build for around $1000?

https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/rKD48d/great-intel-gaming-build

it's just one that was kinda there on pc parts picker

[cyan ravine]

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

https://www.zotacstore.com/us/zt-d40810d-10p-o

It's better in every single way here

[south cliff]

ok 😔

me no good at building

[cyan ravine]

No yours isn't bad

just, I've learned a few new things lately lol

especially if you look in #old-cooling

this cooler

beats 360 aios

it's insane

[south cliff]

very nice

[cyan ravine]

it went way further than I thought it would

[broken lake]

wait an air cooler beats 360 aios?

that's crazy

[cyan ravine]

go look at the post

[south cliff]

Is the case good

?

[cyan ravine]

it doesn't beat an ls720

but it destroys a LOT of 360 aios

[broken lake]

is 720 fans on both sides?

[cyan ravine]

really really good. 420 aio support

?

no just a name

[broken lake]

ah

[cyan ravine]

one sec I'll do yours next

[broken lake]

👍

no rush, I am just helping my cousin out lol

[cyan ravine]

arguably quite good tbh, but I'd change 3 things

12600KF

Lexar NM710 2TB

Thermalright GF A3 850W

[broken lake]

gracias, I will check those out

[cyan ravine]

The case is optional, but he could do Nova M mesh

Gamemax M60 if it's cheap with C12C fans

Gamemax spark if cheap as well

Air 903 base or max

Pop Air

but if he wants NZXT then it's not a bad one to pick

[broken lake]

his one thing he said about a case was that he wants the glass side panel

so he isn't really picky

[cyan ravine]

hmm alr

lets see

I can fit ddr5

[broken lake]

is ddr5 worth getting over ddr4? I have heard mixed things

[cyan ravine]

if it fits in the budget of 1100 absolutely

like half a gpu upgrade

almost

kinda

varies on the game

[broken lake]

that's fair

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bWczsh

drop the cooler down to sneak under 1100 if need be

to what you had

[cyan ravine]

if you just changed the 3 things and the case above, you get sub 1000 iirc

[broken lake]

thanks! I'll send him this one and see what he says

appreciate the help, I like to think I know what I am doing and then I go try to do it and my brain just melts lol

[cyan ravine]

you did really well tbh

like I would've endorsed what you did and I rarely say that

[broken lake]

oh, I didn't even do that lol

[cyan ravine]

[broken lake]

I opened pc parts picker and clicked guides and it was like the second thing there

[cyan ravine]

WOW WHAT?

since when did guides get so good

that was arguably an excellent list

damn

TIL PCPP is better than the internet now

[broken lake]

it seemed pretty good to me but I just wanted to make sure before I recommended it to my cousin

I don't know a lot about the radeon cards but I know they have been pretty good

[cyan ravine]

Oh 6800XT is great

drivers on that card have come a really long way

in the last year I'd call radeon comparable to nvidia

in fact

[broken lake]

yea, I have been hearing that recently they have actually been catching up

[cyan ravine]

my 2 radeon cards in the house have given me less problems in the last 6 months than my nvidia ones

[broken lake]

I have only ever used nvidia cards but I haven't heard anything bad about radeon recently

[south cliff]

Is that case good for cable managment

[cyan ravine]

what the 903?

[south cliff]

yes

[plucky timber]

Oh yeah lol

Makes a lot more sense now

[cyan ravine]

To my knowledge GN endorsed it well but I'm not familiar with specifics beyond that

it comes with 3 fans

420 front rad support

full ATX chamber

proper front mesh

it's got high end compatibility at a low end price

@south cliff

that's the RGB version^

should be the same apart from the fans

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/montech-air-903-max/

[south cliff]

is the max better?

[cyan ravine]

can confirm the base is the same

[cyan ravine]

if you want rgb it is

[south cliff]

just comes with more fans

[cyan ravine]

ye one more fan and rgb

but note only 5 preset rgb colours

so for that side of things, while good, it's not ARGB

[south cliff]

I think i still have some p12s laying around

[broken lake]

w p12

we love p12s

[cyan ravine]

💯

[south cliff]

i think i have 5 so i think im going to put all of them in the case

[broken lake]

There is only 2 fans in my case and they are both p12s, they work so good

[south cliff]

i used to have them in my current case but i decided i wanted rgb and got the tl c120 rgb fans or something like that

[cyan ravine]

c12c

[broken lake]

You can’t see through my case so rgb is just a waste of money for me

[cyan ravine]

c12c are a bit better overall but if you don't like rgb then ye lol

it's fine

[broken lake]

Smol pc go crazy fr fr

I wanna shove a 4080 super in here ngl

[cyan ravine]

itx

[broken lake]

I think if I put a 4080 super in here I would be bottle necked by everything else but like I really want to

[cyan ravine]

what cpu

[broken lake]

12600k

[cyan ravine]

you could run a 4080 super

albeit a bit bottlenecked at 1440p

[broken lake]

my monitor only does 1440p so that wouldn't be a big deal

[cyan ravine]

bouncing between not bottlenecked at all, to obviously bottlenecked in fps games, to slight bottlenecking in most games

1440p 240hz is what I'd use with a 4080S

if you have 1440p 144 or 170, I'd go lower tier

like a $650 4070 ti

[broken lake]

I need to buy a new monitor at some point anyways so I would probably buy a nicer monitor and a gpu at the same time, it won't be for a couple months anyways so I have time to think about it

[lyric thistle]

smol pc is fun

my smol pc is a littole bigger

[broken lake]

I am enjoyer of small pc because the entire thing just casually fits in my backpack

Everything besides keyboard and monitor fits in there, it’s wonderful

[lyric thistle]

I could probably get like a rucksack to fit mine onto lol

more realistically it would fit on my bike rack I just would want a bag that has enough volume for it and able to secure to the rack properly

more more realistically it's a computer and I'll just have it in one place anyway

[broken lake]

This is true

I bring mine back and forth to school with me for breaks and stuff so it’s nice for it to be portable

[lyric thistle]

I'm gonna have like 3 computers that I'd need to move if I can ever find a place to live

[broken lake]

That’s fun

[lyric thistle]

if I want a portable computer I just want to get a modest laptop

[open jungle]

I’d shove a 4090 in my rig

It would be stupid because then I could only LP cool the cpu but yeah

[south cliff]

@cyan ravine Should i get the arctic liquid freezer III?360mm

instead of the air cooler

[vague oracle]

Yeah do 240hz, don’t be me with a single 1440p 165hz and a 4090

[cyan ravine]

I will eat your knee

[lyric thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/kneecaps-food-omori-scary-steaklol-thisisatestlol-gif-26195193

[cyan ravine]

Not really, unless you REALLY want a silent cooler

It won't perform a whole lot better

Actually in the context of 7800x3d

It won't perform any better

At all

Lol

I already picked a tower for what would arguably be overkill vs a cpu that works well on a box cooler

[vague oracle]

Please do, maybe it’ll take away the pain from the concussion

So these together should run the new stuff well and at a good price

[potent portal]

I'd get this power supply instead. $5 more and you go from B tier to A tier.

[cyan ravine]

Montech titan 850w is 95

Also I don't believe that 4080 fits in that case

[cosmic sparrow]

I was gonna get a new case because I thought the same. You got any recommendations?

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MMjDXk boop

Well this is an interesting niche

...

It's either spend probably $70 more on the case or on the board if you want the form factor to match

For no performance gain lol

[cosmic sparrow]

Well that’s weird

[dusky hearth]

why are blue usb ports a downside lmao

[cyan ravine]

e.g

Or

[cyan ravine]

Idk man a rich kid wrote it maybe

[dusky hearth]

💀

[cosmic sparrow]

Definitely going for the larger case

[cyan ravine]

Honestly you tell me which one that is

I think they're both similar lmao

[cosmic sparrow]

This one

~$30 cheaper and a larger case for more airflow and stuff I can add to it

[vague oracle]

Blue USB sucks, red USB is where it’s at

[cyan ravine]

Sounds good

[cyan ravine]

Real

[crimson zinc]

What is truly the best ATX case? Like, airflow, ease of access, etc etc.
A few places rate the normal Cooler Master HAF 700 as one of the best overall cases of all time. (Except the weight)
But I’m not sure that’s accurate.

[shut rampart]

is it worth it for me to sell my pc and just build another one, for cosmic look / better specs

[mossy venture]

I want to say g360a/g500a but I know that's not true

[south cliff]

How do i wipe the drives in my computer

because im about to sell in about a hour

[crimson zinc]

G360a looks cool as hell, so I’d believe it

[crimson zinc]

When I did it, it took 4 hours lmao

But I wiped my entire pc in the process

https://youtu.be/hcLU2dz8xJM?feature=shared

Here’s a video

[south cliff]

Factory reset works just fine?

[crimson zinc]

Ask a techie, they’ll know more
Like bacca or Hay

[south cliff]

@mossy venture how do i wipe everything for my computer im goin gto sell

[south cliff]

how many gb was your drives

[mossy venture]

Should be in windows settings

And then wipe the smart data

Idk how to do the second one

[south cliff]

so i can just remove everything form both drives through windows?

[cyan ravine]

If there was an undisputed best we wouldn't have a market, only a single choice

Lol

Hmmmm

The best case imo? Probably the jonsbo d31/d41

And all clones/revisions based off of that or it's predecessor, the d30/d40

Since you can fit most of a whole full sized pc without really compromising anything in it

Runner up for me would be silverstone alta g1m

Or tower 300? I think that new one is called

With drawbacks being a glass panel and high price respectively

[earnest olive]

best case in the market is caseless

free, high airflow, high ease of access, no clearance concerns

[cyan ravine]

I think the popularist vote would go to North

[potent portal]

Set it on the motherboard box and profit

[earnest olive]

the only downside of caseless is decreased cat resistance

[cyan ravine]

Sips did you see the phantom spirit evo

[earnest olive]

nope

[cyan ravine]

Dual tower, outrunning h150i on 13700k

#old-cooling

[earnest olive]

😳

[cyan ravine]

It's the new goat

[earnest olive]

time to swap my galahad 360 for this

galahad 360 can't handle 13700k 😦

[cyan ravine]

It might actually be comparable to galahad lmao

Granted within what it can handle as tdp ofc

After, what is it like 240W? It saturates

Some sources claim higher

288W is the most I've seen on a thermalright

[earnest olive]

my galahad gets pretty good price/performance

sustained 320w for $31

[cyan ravine]

Bonkers

The PS evo is 43

We back

[earnest olive]

too bad 13700k is such a goblin that 320w isn't enough

[potent portal]

Mount directly to the ceiling, instant cat proof build

[earnest olive]

hard to say they have a monopoly when they don't have the mindshare outside of enthusiast circles

[cyan ravine]

Maybe direct die dual tower

[earnest olive]

doesn't matter if you have a superior product when most people are gonna ignore that and go with corsair

[cyan ravine]

Yeah I'm more in agreement with the 2nd comment tbh

[earnest olive]

cat: is that a challenge?

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[earnest olive]

i have my doubts that direct die dual tower can handle the 500-600w that the chip actually wants

[cyan ravine]

Not 500W

Omg

Nothing will handle that

[earnest olive]

considering I'm throttling down to like 4ghz at 320w

[cyan ravine]

I was thinking 280-ish

[earnest olive]

💀

[cyan ravine]

[earnest olive]

intel moment

[earnest olive]

umm actually

I think a hyper 212 can do it

with corsair xtm30 thermal paste

[cyan ravine]

Am I speaking to the same person who's using a 9600k rn

[earnest olive]

I delidded my 14900k and directly welded my hyper 212 to it

now my asus ai suite overclock (6.0ghz at 1.71v) runs cool in fortnite at 112c

[cyan ravine]

Heh, what heat transfer? It is the entire chip now

[earnest olive]

they wouldn't give you the option to override the thermal throttle limit to 115c if it wasn't safe, right?

I know my favorite company republic of gamers wouldn't do that to me

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[earnest olive]

they care about gamers

have you joined the republic?

[cyan ravine]

My country tried to go republic a few years ago does that count

[earnest olive]

I actually wonder if hyper 212 can handle a full tilt 9600k

[cyan ravine]

Hmmmge maybe

[earnest olive]

I think my 8700k would have overwhelmed a hyper 212 quickly

it was reporting 265w running at 75c on a 240 aio

[cyan ravine]

💀💀

[earnest olive]

delidded and used lm on both sides of ihs

[cyan ravine]

Doesn't that thing have a base power of like

80w

[earnest olive]

8700k? no shot

not in prime95

the tdp is 95w but we all know tdp is just a suggestion

also I may have been running a slightly silly amount of voltage

the chip was already degraded when I got it

couldn't do 4.4ghz straight up

lmao
