1st list mobo has wifi in it's name , so yes. Probably wifi 6 considering how old wifi 5 is.
regal blade
I check the mobo it’s only wifi 5
cyan ravine
I've been here for 3 years
This is the first time someone's told me no wifi 6 is a problem
You live in australia bro, we can't even saturate wifi 4 here

There's more to it than speeds, but wifi 5 is probably plenty
cyan ravine
Sorry did I say 4? For 99% of the population it's only saturating wifi 3
Some 1-5% have any fibre to the premises in this country
Welp that's your cheapest option for wifi 6

Unplug everything from power except the bare minimum, the 24 pin, 8 pin cpu power, and GPU power. This includes unplugging fans and storage drives.

vestal flame
Howdy from San Antonio, Texas. I have a question regarding RAM for my build and wondered if any of y'all can point me in the right direction...
potent portal
What kind of question did you have? I'm sure someone can help
vestal flame
CPU: i9 14900K, GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Mother: ASUSTeK PRIME Z790-P WIFI D4
I need to know the best RAM that would work. Has to be DDR4 I think
potent portal
Yes DDR4 would be the only option for that board, but unfortunately you'll be losing out on about 15% of your CPU performance because of it
vestal flame
Currently own it. and, yeah, I know it being limited to DDR4 does limit things.
cyan ravine
so you've already bought everything else? what's the pc being used for
vestal flame
it is for streaming, I already have a gaming PC
cyan ravine
streaming editing?
vestal flame
both
vestal flame
I'm a tech short bus rider...
potent portal
Alright. Well the best you can usually do in gear 1 (best latency/performance) is going to be 3600c14. It's not going to be cheap at all and you'd probably be better off buying a new motherboard that supports DDR5 instead.
At high capacity yes you'll be super limited in speed
cyan ravine
yes do that if you go lower capacity^
vestal flame
I have no issues with 128GB
cyan ravine
128 you will be about on the limit with 3200
3200 gear 1 btw
you can pop 128gb into a 14900k board and it'll probably default gear 2 which is much slower
depending on the xmp
languid nimbus
potent portal
It likes to do gear 2 even at jedec
cyan ravine
so yeah, pretty much, 128gb basic 3200, or 64gb at a nice or fair bit better speed like 3600
vestal flame
currently have G.Skill F4-3200C16-32GVK
restive halo
heard that. That was my original plan but I wanted to make sure that I was not missing a different approach
cyan ravine
currently have G.Skill F4-3200C16-32GVK
would suggest a new kit imo
especially if 128gb
even g.skill uses a wide range of chips for each ram lineup so you can end up mixing very easily
vestal flame
what would be the better RAM to get? that is what I need to know. I have a decent budget towards it...
potent portal
What resolution are you editing at
vestal flame
I'm only dealing with 1080p because of Twitch's hatred of anything higher

boop
oh 1080p you can just stick with 32gb
you won't need this much
hell 14900k is uber overkill for that lol
vestal flame
it came with my computer, and I just want a PC that will last longer than 2 years...
cyan ravine
32gb would be more than fine if all you're doing is 1080p tho
it's not going to get any worse unless you go up in res
vestal flame
I'd post my build, but cannot. guessing because I'm a short timer
cyan ravine
if you edit in 1440p or 4k then 64gb makes sense
128gb is plain overkill for anyone
but 1080p you can just keep using 32gb
potent portal
If you put the parts into a pcpartpicker list it should work, we have that whitelisted
vestal flame
currently running 128gb
potent portal
cyan ravine
oh then just use that then lol
use it if you've got it
not saying "Take ram out" saying "Don't buy if you got it" lol
vestal flame
what is the difference between the 3200C16 versus the DDR4-3200 CL16?
vestal flame
okay
I might have a bad stick because I occasionally get the lovely blue screen 'Oops, something went wrong.' and it causes the PC to restart
cyan ravine
depends
as we said 128gb is difficult to run
so it may also just be the cpu doesn't like running that fast
too much bandwidth all at once
vestal flame
so bring it down to 64?
cyan ravine
could just downclock it
vestal flame
I have zero idea how to do that, lol
cyan ravine
instead of 3200, manually set it to something like 2866
you'd do that through bios
you know where you go to turn on xmp in the advanced settings?
it's right around that normally
manually set the frequency
vestal flame
yeah... after High school's computer class, Radio Shack TRS-80, I joined the Army... Infantry. I'm far behind....
kids now use GPS, I use a map and compass...
cyan ravine
cyan ravine
kids now use GPS, I use a map and compass...
it's easier to do than streaming lol
think of it like, going into your game settings
for something like call of duty
fortnite
you know?
but for the computer
vestal flame
this is me trying to get all of the lines in the right place. and I can't seem to quite get it right....
I have a knack of killing PCs....
cyan ravine
this is like a 30 second task
if you know how to take ram sticks out then you can surely turn on xmp and adjust the frequency
the latter is easier than the former
they make these things really easy to find
vestal flame
I'm going to give that a go. Just started reading it.... I truly do appreciate your help.
vestal flame

TEAMGROUP Elite DDR4 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) 3200MHz PC4-25600 CL22 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V SODIMM 260-Pin

Corsair Vengeance SODIMM 32GB (1x32GB) DDR4 2666 C18 1.2V
cyan ravine
as long as the cpu can accept the rated speed of the sticks, then it works
google the cpu name for the manufacturer website to tell you if it does or not
e.g i7-7700hq > ddr4-2666 > choose 2666 sticks
muted shore
It says
System Memory Type
DDR4 - Up to 3200 MT/s
LPDDR4 - Up to 4266 MT/s
Lpddr4 sounds better
muted shore
So lpddr4 is not possible to plug in ram slot
And is soldered on board
Why is it even mentioned then
muted shore
get the cheapest ones
But their specifications seems different like cl22 and cl18
obsidian wigeon
No need to worry
They're all jedec spec
But the lower latency the better usually

okay

is puting 4 sticks of ddr5 ram bad ?
It's not "bad" per se, just sub-optimal
If you don't need outrageous amounts of memory, it tends to yield better performance to only use two sticks
I mean if you have some kinda high-end workstation that needs like 192gb of memory, then by all means go for the 4 sticks
But it'll probably be slower than advertised
cyan ravine
im planning to build this in like 2 months thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/li...
looks decent, though in 2 months everything will be changed so the list won't really be that useful anymore.
also, 6700XT's are almost completely gone now, I wouldn't wait for that card if you want it
Few days ago that XFX was one of like several SKU's left available
Gone back up to 3 now that I've checked but I get the feeling this card won't be available for a whole lot longer, could be wrong
dim reef
also, 6700XT's are almost completely gone now, I wouldn't wait for that card if ...
what should i go for instead of the 6700xt’s
cyan ravine
mmm there's not really a decent alternative at that specific price point
Otherwise I'd have mentioned it lol
In that range, 6650XT, 6700XT, 6800 tend to be outright winners
7700XT kinda too if you can find it under about 400-ish
e.g ^
ideally 380 for this card, but if there's nothing left from last gen soon, this will probably be the pick for that price class
mossy venture
6750 is $310 atm (idk if this was mentioned)
There's 3070 refurb for 285 from zotac
cyan ravine
6750 is another one
mossy venture
Some 3060 ti refurbs for 260 on wegg
cyan ravine
hopefully it's still there in 2 months, but lately it's been looking like numbers are dwindling
I say this the same to 6900XT, 6800
It's been also fairly stagnant as well on some cards, but who knows
I could be wildly wrong
this for 250 isn't that bad either
mossy venture
Better value than 6700xt/6750xt at 330
But at 310 I'd spend the $60, 10-15% better perf and 4gb more vram

At least make sure those damaged pins on the USB header aren't touching, or it'll cause a short that the PSU detects and will refuse to start

Best Buy price matches online advertised prices. Check their site for boards and compare to pcpartpicker and microcenter prices to find it cheaper and have their customer service price match.

update on this, i reinstalled windows on another drive so i can check if disk management detects the m.2. its does but it says unknown. i cant initialize it or anything. When i open disk management i get this window which is for the m.2 but no matter what option i choose (mbr or gpt) it always says "the parameter is incorrect"

it even shows up on task manager, but with no space in it

What does an AIO have to do with the GPU temps

What does an AIO have to do with the GPU temps
potent portal
There wasn't an AIO bracket for Nvidia 3000 series GPUs since every brand used different spacing and board layouts
You could 3D print one but you'll need some experience with the proper materials so it doesn't flex or melt
limber oyster
What does an AIO have to do with the GPU temps
Get an aio for the GPU
And Alphacool makes em
I had an aio on my 3080rtx
And this is a 6800xt anyways, not a 3000 series rtx

Oh AMD, yeah that would work but really just a repaste would be enough most likely

damn i didn't realize there's a market for this
time to start installing windows on ssds all day
potent portal
$20 for Windows and $40 for the SSD and you sell it for double what you paid
Not a bad hustle
Could possibly get Windows cheaper if you register as a SI
There's of course the potential for bad actors to install illegal copies of Windows or malware

Is the rx 7900 equivalent to the 30 series?

I'd take the higher single core any day personally but my editing experience is slim to none

7700 is a bit less in multicore but you get AM5 as a platform

12700K can easily overcome that with a mild OC
Hows that gonna happen on a b board

It just doesn't work well if you want a larger heatsink and fan

Few months

"Crashes in games" is a super generic problem. It could be literally anything and if they're selling that cheaply they probably tried to fix it already.

Most of those "for parts" cards have been through multiple repair attempts before they got to the current owner

potent portal
That's what they all say lol
I've purchased many "for parts" GPUs and every one of them has shown signs of previous failed repairs. Once I got one that had a cracked PCB, which they didn't disclose, and it was obviously because they forgot a screw and tried to rip the cooler off.

Hey everyone, new to this server. But could use some help with deciding on a new graphics card. Currently I am running a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming OC 8G GGDR6 DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 2.0b USB Type-C with Triple Fan Design- GV-N2070GAMING OC-8GC ...... with a motherboard of:
ASUS Prime Z390-A Motherboard LGA1151 (Intel 8th and 9th Gen) ATX DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 Gigabit LAN. ....... and what I was thinking of upgrading to is the: ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER OC Edition Graphics Card...... this is to help with my video editing software (davinci resolve). Any help woud be greatly appreacited!!
cyan ravine
what cpu
@somber glacier
and how much ram are you rocking
Gen 3 ssd?
If you're not sure, just find the names of everything you can
somber glacier
Intel Core i9-9900K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0 GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W
And running 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 2666 C16 for DDR4 systems - White
Return and product support eligibility
cyan ravine
so 2x32?
or 2x16?
for ram
Follow up question after that, if you can give me the EXACT name of the power supply, that would be mega
somber glacier
so I have a total of 64gb for the ram 4x 16gb sticks
adn this is my power supply: CORSAIR HXi Series, HX850i, 850 Watt, 80+ Platinum Certified, Fully Modular - Digital Power Supply
somber glacier
and this is my cooler: CORSAIR HYDRO Series H115i PRO RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, 280mm Radiator, Dual 140mm ML Series PWM Fans, RGB Lighting and Fan Software Control, Intel 115x/2066, AMD AM4

@somber glacier when did you buy this hxi

built the computer in 2019
cyan ravine
ok should still be perfectly fine
last question
do you know the name of your ssd that you work on
this could be separate to your windows SSD, or the same one
somber glacier
Yes so my main one i work off of is this:
Samsung 970 EVO NVMe Series 1TB M.2 PCI-Express 3.0 x 4 Solid State Drive (V-NAND)
then I added another 2TB in 2023
somber glacier
hold on getting that for you now

no worries

Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive w/ V-NAND Technology, Storage and Memory Expansion for Gaming, Graphics w/ Heat Control, Max Speed, MZ-V7S2T0B/AM
cyan ravine
everything seems solid so far, just making sure you have good storage here as the ssd will dictate the scrubbing speed in davinci
ok awesome
No complaints here, just grab this GPU
somber glacier
but im working off of the 1tb
cyan ravine
cyan ravine
but im working off of the 1tb
you could honestly work off either of them
but thanks for all the info, makes this dead easy
The dual should be perfectly fine
very strong 4070S
and it's MSRP
You're US based ye?
If not, just the cheapest you can find, that isn't "MSI VENTUS 2x"
somber glacier
ya US based. Cool so thing by upgrading to that GC card I dont need to upgrade my power or motherboard right?
cyan ravine
nah
Everything seems fine
If your case supports it, a new AIO may help with 9900K temps
if it's throttling
which would be this one
or rather
this one which I believe comes with way better fans
But if your temps are fine, don't fix what ain't broken imo
somber glacier
awesome, thank you @cyan ravine for all your help and knowledge, greatly appreciate it!
cyan ravine
np
If you still find it's a bit underwhelming for your needs after swapping gpu, come back and we'll talk a CPU and RAM upgrade
somber glacier
one last questions actually for the CPU cooler you sent, how big a difference would the two to three fans be?
somber glacier
ok cool
cyan ravine
So the 2 fan 280 is fine
I'm guessing that's what your h115i is ye?
iirc that's a 280mm, hence me picking a 280
