#

50$ from some country dude

plucky timber
#

damnnn

summer island
#

usually they average 100-200$

#

Very hard to find it working too

plucky timber
#

you're like

#

I used to watch AVGN

#

man you're bringing up so much childhood memories

#

not actually owning the consoles themselves but watching AVGN

summer island
#

I watched him after I played the games

#

he’s a funny dude

#

some cringe but some kek

#

he does some good dives

#

like the game seaman

plucky timber
#

oh yeah that game

summer island
#

dude I got that game from a bookstore for 1$

#

and I played it

#

so fricken confused

#

weirdest game I’ve ever played

#

so weird that I got a plastic cover for it to display it

plucky timber
#

oh yeah

#

I gotta be careful searching "seaman" on youtube

summer island
#

lololol

#

funny video

#

also I fly airplanes

#

if that makes me any weirder lol

plucky timber
#

WTF

summer island
#

cuz ur name is airplane

#

hahahahah

plucky timber
#

what do you fly?

summer island
#

Beechcraft Sundowner

#

shi slower than a car but man it can sure stay in the air for like a couple hours or something

plucky timber
#

The best I got is VR flight sim

summer island
#

flight sim fun

#

fairly accurate surprisingly

plucky timber
#

yeah even the older games are pretty nice

summer island
#

it’s impressive

plucky timber
#

they really nail the physics

summer island
#

Even tho I’ve just played it with a Xbox controller

#

for real

plucky timber
#

oh yeah

summer island
#

that and the stall speeds and angles are fairly accurate

plucky timber
#

flight sim 2020 with vr is stunning

summer island
#

I make props for plans that are on flight sim so it’s cool seeing them in a video game

plucky timber
#

you can quite literally fly around the world in a cessna

#

unrealistic but still

summer island
#

I wanted to make a setup but my dad was like bro u can fly 4 20$ a hour why would u waste money

#

-_-

#

I am not used to not cussing

plucky timber
#

yeah that was me when I first joined

#

I want this one of these days

#

I already have the joystick and throttle

summer island
#

dude that’s so sick

#

I love the color sm

plucky timber
#

yeah it's one of the cheaper ones

#

this is modular btw

summer island
#

how expensive?

#

Modular?

plucky timber
#

this is the one I got

#

only comes with the basics

#

but you can add another throttle quadrant for four engine aircrafts

#

and you can add the flaps and gear lever module

summer island
#

that’s fricken dope

#

it’s crazy how much parts u can get for sim stuff

#

basically a whole azz plane hahaha

#

u can get direc gyro, radio, gps

#

it’s crazy

plucky timber
#

best part is that you don't have to buy it all at once

#

that's what I really like about it

summer island
#

I’ll get it eventually

#

for sure, all u rly need is the rudder petals, and a yoke

plucky timber
#

yeah the rest is for immersion

summer island
#

then u can add from that

#

Exactly

#

so sick

plucky timber
#

honestly I should get pedals

summer island
#

Well im a try to sleep cuz im going to a pokemon event in 5 hours

plucky timber
#

oh sick

summer island
#

they are worth it

plucky timber
#

summer island
#

it helps with coordination probably waaaaaay easier

#

summer island
#

I can stop by once and a blue moon just @ me and I’ll jump around

vocal hare
#

This def has some stories to tell

summer island
#

I do so much stuff randomly

#

But that’s what life is for yk?

plucky timber
#

real

summer island
#

u guys should fix old tech and find random old cool stuff

#

like I randomly learned how to fix film cameras

#

lol

vocal hare
#

I’m in a grad program I can barely find time for sleep

plucky timber
#

OH AND BRO HAS FILM CAMERAS TOO

summer island
#

and now I own some of the rarest most caught after film cameras ever

summer island
plucky timber
#

this gets better and better

summer island
#

i kinda understand the struggle

plucky timber
summer island
#

ahahah u know much about film cameras?

plucky timber
#

and you still find time for all your hobbies

plucky timber
#

got a D7000

summer island
#

Sometimes yeah

#

valid

#

ahh classic

#

I loved my Nikon

plucky timber
#

yeah they're still awesome

#

even today

#

16mp still destroys any smartphone

summer island
#

I have a Sony a7iii kit for digital

#

And

plucky timber
#

ooooooooo

summer island
#

Hasselblad 500cm , Leica M3, Mamiya RB67, Contax T2

#

For film (atleast those are my heavy hitters)

#

All of them from deals ofc

summer island
plucky timber
#

Leica M3

#

that's a classic

summer island
#

people don’t understand how much u can do with that many mp

#

it’s so dope

#

I offered 400 to a camera store and they took it

#

cuz the timer thing was broke

plucky timber
#

aww

summer island
#

n it didn’t matter cuz I don’t use, but I fixed anyways

plucky timber
#

I mean

#

It's a really nice camera

summer island
#

it’s soooooooo dope

#

the photos are insane

#

all these cameras are crazy

plucky timber
#

yeah it's amazing

summer island
#

idk how tf I have them

plucky timber
#

especially with film too

#

very simple mechanism yet the photos they capture

#

mmmm

summer island
#

I have a fridge in my room filled with film

#

and a little film dev area in my bathroom lol

#

for reallll

#

also my partner bought me a Polaroid i2 (the most advanced instant film camera)

#

n I’ve been shooting with it

#

so fun

#

I need to scan more and post em but im so busy

#

here’s some photos

plucky timber
#

ayo

#

oh wow

#

film is just

#

mmm

#

it's just a different feel

summer island
#

same with some shots on my other film cameras

#

for realllllll

#

I love it

#

I need to post more, I’ve done so much cool stuff on film in the past year

plucky timber
#

like

#

with digital you get the convenience

#

but it just doesn't have the same aesthetic

summer island
#

true

#

film is a lot of work

#

but with a very different outcome

plucky timber
#

I think it's worth it 100%

summer island
#

I love my Sony tho too ofc

#

for sure

#

god it is so beautiful

plucky timber
#

What really fascinates me about these film cameras

summer island
#

the chemistry that goes into it is just so interesting

plucky timber
#

a lot of them are really mechanically simple

#

yet they shoot really great photos

summer island
#

Exactlyyyyy

#

They’re just nobs and gears

#

that move a piece of fabric back and forth

#

with a little lever that advances it

#

yet sh it also looks way different from camera to camera depending on how good the optics are

plucky timber
#

yeah it's a whole rabbit hole

#

anyways I probably shouldn't keep you up lol

summer island
#

well I hope you have a good weekend ! keep being a nerd lul

plucky timber
#

it's been an absolutely pleasure

summer island
#

ur good bro I just love talking ab tech

#

stay safe

plucky timber
#

you too

summer island
#

drink water

#

Also try these Taco Bell things, they look good as heck lol

plucky timber
#

hmm

#

might have to see if they have these in Australia

summer island
#

u have Taco Bell there?

#

If so I think it’s everywhere idk

plucky timber
#

we have a couple

runic cedar
#

is it normal for pcpartpicker not showing any PSUs below a certain wattage?

plucky timber
#

yes

#

depends on what part you already have on the list

runic cedar
#

this is the list

#

I am not going for AM5 as he doesnt need it imo as well as him wanting the same as me

#

but not my pc dont ask why

plucky timber
#

SSD a bit expensive

#

is it a german market thing?

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
plucky timber
#

also is this the whole list?

fossil cedar
#

990 pro is so overpriced

#

Even for a flagship ssd

#

@runic cedar what's the goal of the build?

runic cedar
#

and streaming but not using any

#

i forgor

#

encoding

#

I just woke up

fossil cedar
runic cedar
#

rx 5500 xt is already bought

fossil cedar
#

5600 has no gpu, the pc wouldn't even turn on lol

runic cedar
#

my old one

fossil cedar
#

Ooooof

#

Can you return it?

runic cedar
#

no its old

fossil cedar
#

Ahh

runic cedar
#

he doesnt need anything better

fossil cedar
#

Was it at least cheap af?

runic cedar
#

he plays roblox, fortnite and valorant

#

he will be set

runic cedar
fossil cedar
#

Uhhhhh I'd argue he should be getting something much better than that but can always upgrade in the future

#

I suppose that's okay

runic cedar
#

compared to ebays pricing of 200-300 euros

fossil cedar
runic cedar
fossil cedar
#

What's the budget for the rest of the pc?

runic cedar
#

and everything else he can upgrade

runic cedar
fossil cedar
runic cedar
#

nah

#

its aight

#

even Im still rocking it

#

and its paired with rx 6600 and works fine on max settings whilst streaming

#

he doesnt need everything maxxed for his very first pc

#

he can upgrade the free GPU down the line

#

I think its much more important for him to first get a pc instead of waiting for another 10 yrs

#

he does need the lian li edge tho

#

cuz he wont be happy if its not full ARGB

runic cedar
#

he should be set#

fossil cedar
runic cedar
#

i know

#

its still enough for his games

fossil cedar
#

Thought you meant the cpu would carry the 5500xt

runic cedar
#

I ran it for a year

runic cedar
fossil cedar
plucky timber
#

Wait

runic cedar
#

omg

plucky timber
#

Do you already have the parts?

fossil cedar
runic cedar
#

bro it as to be the lian li edge he doesnt want anything else, also I said am4 is enough

#

he wont be professionally streaming

#

yall got some weird focus on the new am5

plucky timber
#

Doesn't this meet the budget tho?

runic cedar
#

I cant get him the am5 he has 600 euros for all parts, case, fans, AIO etc

fossil cedar
runic cedar
#

he wants an argb aio as well

fossil cedar
#

He doesn't need an aio at all he's literally throwing performance into the gutter to do that

plucky timber
#

Thermalright?

runic cedar
#

a

#

child

plucky timber
#

Or is that not an option

runic cedar
#

🙄

fossil cedar
#

You just said gaming pc mate

runic cedar
#

I never did

fossil cedar
#

If you wanna be sassy about it don't ask for our help

runic cedar
#

I said a pc for light gaming

runic cedar
#

I dont need a full list

fossil cedar
#

Yeah and i gave you the best pc in the budget you asked for

runic cedar
#

as he has already cried enough

#

I dont need a better budget pc

#

I need the same as what I have since he wants all the RGB

#

back then I also bought all of the best parts for a budget and upgraded everything except cpu and motherboard

fossil cedar
#

Bro chill all I'm saying is be a decent human being and just say that's what you want dont have to be rude about it

runic cedar
#

I did

#

so many times

fossil cedar
#

No you where sassy about it

runic cedar
#

it gets disregarded, I asked him so many times if he is sure he doesnt want a faster better pc

#

he says no because he wants RGB

fossil cedar
#

That's fine but don't be sassy about it when people give you advice

runic cedar
#

its exactly that

#

I dont need advice anymore

#

I just didnt know that there was cheaper am5 thats about all info I was lacking about the new socket

#

thats why Im saying I would get him a better pc of that was an option

#

it isnt

#

cuz he doesnt know and doesnt care to know

#

for now

jagged ember
#

Maybe you should have led with the context

#

Instead of getting upset at someone who was genuinely trying to get you an amazing PC for the budget

#

Because they didn't have the context that the person you're getting the build for is stubborn

Hello need help

#

My power went of last night my pc detects all my drive but my nvme m.2s aren't an boot option in bios anymore

plucky timber
#

This thing worth flipping?

#

It's got a Prime B550M-K so Idk if the vrms can even take a R7

mossy venture
#

what's the full specs? i think it'd be better to buy a 5600 off aliexpress w a used mobo/ram/gpu

plucky timber
#

Yeah they don't specify

#

This is AUD btw

mossy venture
#

ohh right

#

200 aud is a lot better lol

plucky timber
#

oooo

#

I found a better one

#

psu a bit suspect

#

Wait the ram too

#

Sigh

#

Board should handle a 5700x tho right?

mossy venture
#

for a flipped build a 5600 makes more sense unless you alr have the cpu

plucky timber
#

Hmm

mossy venture
#

id ask felix if thats a good price

plucky timber
#

So a 5600 and whatever gpu I could slot in

#

Problem is all the parts I'll have to replace tho

mossy venture
#

id check what tier the psu is

#

ram is passable, even if it's slow

plucky timber
#

550w probably won't make room for say

#

A 7800XT

mossy venture
#

i didnt think youd be aiming that high for a resale build

plucky timber
#

Hmm

#

Actually yeah

#

I could probably just slot in something low powered

#

Like a 3050 or something

#

Or a 3060ti

mossy venture
#

3060 ti ish on the high end imo

plucky timber
#

That might run on a 550w

mossy venture
#

as long as it's c tier or higher

#

d tier at worst, but eh

#

you do get some money back if you resell the cpu/gpu though

plucky timber
#

3060ti'd aren't too expensive

mossy venture
#

id imagine $150ish?

plucky timber
#

Or use in another flip build

mossy venture
#

yeah

plucky timber
#

3600 isn't bad

#

I could find someone way worse

mossy venture
#

could do two separate ones

plucky timber
#

And put the 3600 in it

mossy venture
#

wait isnt it a 3200g?

plucky timber
#

Oh

#

lmao

#

Actually

#

That 3200g could be its own system

mossy venture
#

yeah

#

could do some type of mini pc

#

Matx mini pc prolly

#

could recycle the psu and maybe ram into that too, if you want to upgrade the ram for the first build

plucky timber
#

oh the margins aren't looking too good

#

There's 2070S builds for $800 AUD

mossy venture
#

mm

#

id check with felix, he knows the au market much better than me

plucky timber
#

Yeah if I want to flip I might have to find a better deal

#

Or go out to the suburbs

#

I'll check with felix later but for now I'm gonna make me some brunch

severe hull
#

This is new

#

Trying to get into bios on my sons pc but it’s in a different language

jagged ember
#

Its only Chinese

#

Just use Google translate kekw

severe hull
#

I figured it out

plucky timber
#

I can translate

severe hull
#

I started pressing options until the language bar came up

#

Thanks !

jagged ember

A dangerous game

uncut surge
#

I just built my pc and my motherboard will blink a red cpu light for 0.5 seconds and then the ram will light up and my peripherals will light up but no post. I have tried reseating the cpu, trying one stick of ram, and making sure all the cables are plugged in fully. My specs are ryzen 7 9800x3d
Gigabyte aorus x870 elite
64 gb of corsair vengeance ddr5
4070 super

plucky timber
#

what's your ram config

#

2x32?

#

4x16?

uncut surge
#

2x32

plucky timber
#

hmm

#

what's the specs of your ram kit?

uncut surge
#

6400 mega transfers cl32

plucky timber
#

I'd try reseating the ram first

uncut surge
#

I have tried reseating it already unfortunately

plucky timber
#

are you on the latest bios revision?

uncut surge
#

So I can’t boot to the bios I didn’t know whether a q flash was going to fix this or not

plucky timber
#

although...x870 should have the right bios version for X3D

uncut surge
#

That’s what I thought I’m really stumped here

#

I feel like I’ve tried everything

plucky timber
#

the corsair vengeance is a red flag

#

they're notoriously unreliable

#

but that doesn't automatically mean that it is the issue here

#

what do you have plugged into the motherboard?

#

I assume this isn't your first build

uncut surge
#

Right now I have the cpu 8 pin plugged in and the 24 pin plugged in and nothing else I’m just trying to get a post

plucky timber
#

no gpu?

uncut surge
#

And it is my first build unfortunately lol

#

And no because it did the same with the gpu in the system so I am trying to minimize the factors

plucky timber
#

I'm impressed

#

great troubleshooting for a first time builder

#

so do you have the cpu cooler plugged in?

#

there is a chance that it's one of those motherboard that won't post without cpu_fan being occupied

uncut surge
#

Yeah I’ve been obsessed with computers since I was young and I do have the pump plugged in but I have daisy chained fans so I unplugged them to see if this was the issue it was not

#

But I have tried with both cpu fan and cpu pro occupied

plucky timber
#

"cpu pro"

uncut surge
#

Opt*

plucky timber
#

oh

uncut surge
#

Not pro

plucky timber
#

yeah that's the pump header

#

hmm

severe hull
# jagged ember A dangerous game

I was not changing setting . I was just clicking the line so the options come up . Once I saw it said English I knew that was the language one

uncut surge
#

Yeah I’m not sure I was thinking about taking it to a repair shop but idk

#

All the parts are brand new out of the box I don’t suspect any of them to just be dead

plucky timber
#

It could just be beginners luck

#

the first build never works out of the box

#

it's probably just something you've missed

uncut surge
#

Yeah I’m not even sure atp I’m completely stumped

#

I feel like I’ve troubleshooted everything in the book

plucky timber
#

wait

#

I've noticed that you got an eight-segment display on your board?

uncut surge
#

So here’s the thing nothing pops up on it

plucky timber
#

ah

uncut surge
#

I can send a vid of what happens

#

One sec

plucky timber
#

that would be very helpful

#

oh yeah you might want to chat a bit more

#

I don't think you can send videos yet

#

until you get a green name

uncut surge
#

Yeah I just realized that

#

In the meantime I can describe it I guess

#

So basically the cpu light on the mobo will flash red and then turn off and the ram will light up

#

No clicking sounds or anything

#

That’s all that happens

plucky timber
#

you know what

#

does the pc turn off?

uncut surge
plucky timber
#

I think I have a hunch

uncut surge
#

I’m all ears

plucky timber
#

there's this thing that happens with ddr5 systems

#

sometimes they require ram training

#

I'd turn it on and keep it on for a couple minutes

uncut surge
#

So I thought the same thing and I left it on for like 25 mins and nothing still

plucky timber
#

damn

uncut surge
#

Yeah that’s how I reacted too haha

#

I mean maybe I could leave it on overnight to see what happens

#

But I really don’t know atp

plucky timber
#

I might get some of the techies here to weigh in

uncut surge
#

Please do I’m in need of any advice I can get rn

plucky timber
stoic island
#

When in doubt, clear cmos

#

Lemme double check if that board needs an update for 9800x3d

mossy venture
#

Did you give time for the ram to train?

uncut surge
#

You are gonna laugh when I say this but I have cleared cmos already unfortunately

#

I allowed like 25 mins for it to train and got nothing

mossy venture
mossy venture
#

Bios update is a good idea

stoic island
#

Supported since f1, shouldn't need a bios update, but you can flash newest bios and see if it helps

uncut surge
#

I have tried the single stick of ram the only thing I haven’t done is bios update

mossy venture
#

Can you plug in both cpu 4 pins?

uncut surge

I had them both plugged in originally and had same issues

mossy venture
#

And did you make sure gpu/mobo/cpu power are completely plugged in?

mossy venture
uncut surge
#

Yes I did I’ve plugged and unplugged more than I can count

mossy venture
#

What psu?

#

And you're only using cables that came with that psu?

uncut surge
#

Corsair 1000e not the best but it was on sale at micro center and yes I’m only using the cables that have came with it

mossy venture
#

Good psu

#

DOA is always a risk with any part but this doesn't really sound psu related to me

stoic island
#

GPU not installed, monitor plugged into Mobo display out right?

uncut surge
mossy venture
#

Oh good point I forgot 9800x3d has igpu

#

Sounds like a cpu mobo or ram issue

stoic island
#

In this state I'd use flashback and flash newest bios and see if that helps

#

I feel like if it's just ram the debug led for that would be on

#

It feels like the board is confused about something

severe hull
mossy venture
#

Can you link the list again?

uncut surge
#

Yeah I’m gonna have to try a bios flash

severe hull
stoic island
#

Specific instructions will be in the manual, iirc gigabyte flashback equivalent will also want you to rename the file so don't forget about that

uncut surge
#

DOA cpu and mobo seem really far fetched to me but I’m starting to worry it might be a reality atp

mossy venture
plucky timber
#

9700X?

#

eh?

stoic island
#

DOA CPU is possible, keep it in the back of your mind while you debug

mossy venture
uncut surge
#

Does amd have a warranty for this kinda stuff because a 550 dollar cpu definitely should not be doa

#

In case this is a situation where it is dead

stoic island
#

Yes, if it is actually DOA, AMD generally will end up sending you a replacement

plucky timber
mossy venture
plucky timber
#

I've edited the MC bundle into the list

uncut surge
#

Okay sounds good I’ll flash the bios and @ you guys with results I’m out so this will have to wait until tomorrow

plucky timber
#

oh there it is

uncut surge
#

I appreciate you guys for the help

#

Any recommendations if a bios flash is not the answer?

mossy venture
plucky timber
#

yeah mine was just a lazy edit of the existing list

mossy venture
#

Though I chose both i guess lmao

plucky timber
#

on Melon's pc

#

I wonder

#

is there any chance that it's the vengeance

#

DDR5 has better QC right?

severe hull
#

How do you do them so fast lmao

plucky timber
#

yes

uncut surge
#

I havent heard of much ddr5 issues however I know there’s been some amd compatibility issues it might not be crazy to say that it could be the ram

plucky timber
#

Corsair Vengeance is notorious for having terrible quality control

#

I've heard that they've improved since ddr5

#

but I'm not sure if that's the issue here

severe hull
#

Only thing I would change is the psu and the only reason is because I have 120 credit I need to use before it expires

uncut surge
#

I feel like the mobo would tell me if it was a ram issue though right?

severe hull
plucky timber
#

do you need an 850w tho

#

actually what's the price difference between the two psus

#

after accounting in the credits

severe hull
#

It’s essentially free lol so just in case for the future

plucky timber
#

wait what

#

the psu is free?

severe hull
#

I have a Best Buy gift card I need to use

plucky timber
#

lmao alright

#

I mean it's a good psu

#

although...

#

are there any other options?

#

there might be better units available

severe hull
#

I’m sure there is

#

I am not as good as you guys

plucky timber
#

try searching on best buy for psus around the same price

mossy venture
#

Also like 100wpm on my phone

severe hull
mossy venture
#

Oh yeah AGL is a great psu

plucky timber
#

that might just be the best priced psu

#

hmm

mossy venture
#

Like felix, fal, mr1111 and the rest of the techies all have a lot of experience I've yet to gain

plucky timber
#

I just leech knowledge off y'all techies

severe hull
#

Bacca you are better than you think you helped me build my sons pc last year and that thing is running great !

plucky timber
#

half the time I leech off your recommendations in my own lists

mossy venture
#

Lmao I did the same for most of my parts selectios

#

Only thing I've researched myself in depth are ssds

plucky timber
#

Motherboards are usually my weakness

#

so that's where I just go off proven recommendations

mossy venture
#

I only know what mobo models to go for via felix lol

plucky timber
#

I'm really tempted to recommend this

image.png
mossy venture
#

It's not great but ok for very budget

plucky timber
#

ohhh

#

so it's actually just mid

#

damn

mossy venture
#

Vrms are 6+1+1 which is a tiny bit worse than the b650m riptide wifi

#

Or whatever that $120 asrock b650m is

#

Pg lightning?

plucky timber
#

yeah

mossy venture
#

So it's fine for a 7600/7800x3d but not ideal

plucky timber
#

B650M Pro RS still on top?

#

or was that the B850

mossy venture
#

Yeah that, eagle ax, and that asrock b850m

#

The $120-140ish one

plucky timber
#

Pro-A?

mossy venture
#

Surprisingly the asus b650m-e wifi sometimes depending on the country

#

Yeah I think so

plucky timber
#

ooo the wifi model is $140

#

might be the cheapest wifi board

mossy venture
#

Cheapest solid one aside from the asus -e wifi

#

Which is the same price, idk which is better

plucky timber
#

might be down to aesthetics

mossy venture
#

I will get back to you in about 3-5 business minutes

#

The b850m has 8+2+1 for vrms

plucky timber
#

hmmm

mossy venture
#

The asus b650m does too

#

8+2+1

#

Both have pcie 5.0

#

The b850 has wifi 6e while the b650 has wifi 6

plucky timber
#

honestly if it's the same price

#

might as well get the asrock

mossy venture
#

The asrock has an extra m.2 slot too

plucky timber
#

damn

#

these modern motherboards are really damn good

mossy venture
#

Technichally two if you count the m.2 e key

plucky timber
#

isn't that the wifi card slot

mossy venture
#

But thats a 2230 size and whos using that when they have three other slots

mossy venture
#

I could be wrong

plucky timber
#

ooo

#

the Pro A also has the same config

#

hmmm

#

I wonder how it works

#

i wonder if they just add in a m.2 wifi card

#

oh yeah they literally do

#

it's just got a black plate on top of it

#

so basically they just soldered on the antenna IO for the wifi version

#

and added in a m.2 wifi card

#

that's one way to save money on R&D

mossy venture
#

Interesting

vocal hare
#

some cheaper ones dont even hide the wifi card

plucky timber
#

this is LITERALLY the same board

#

you can see where the antenna is supposed to be

plucky timber
#

something like the eagle AX has a more elegant solution

vocal hare
plucky timber
#

ofc it's asrock

#

actually kinda based tbh

#

cheap wifi 🤷‍♂️

vocal hare
#

i mean you aint see it inder the gpu

plucky timber
#

plus

#

you can upgrade the wifi card

mossy venture
#

I may have a slight bias to asrock for mobos

#

They've just released banger after banger

vocal hare
#

i mostly use asrock and gigabyte

plucky timber
#

asrock ever since AM4 has been non stop bangers

mossy venture
#

I have an msi mobo

plucky timber
#

they used to be the meme

mossy venture
#

I hate their bios

plucky timber
#

now they're straight up better than asus

mossy venture
#

With a passion

vocal hare
#

gigabyte bios so nice

plucky timber
#

at least on the lower end to mid range

#

gigabyte used to be a meme too on the low end

vocal hare
#

yeah

plucky timber
#

gigabyte and asrock have honestly been releasing really good boards recently

vocal hare
#

i wouldnt use the x870e nova though

plucky timber
#

yeah well

vocal hare
#

i swear thats the one i see with the most 9800x3d burns

plucky timber
#

it's plastic > functionality

plucky timber
vocal hare
#

nah like of the like 40 of the burned 9800x3d

#

like over 30 are x870

#

and most are asrock

plucky timber
#

I mean with LGA 1700

#

everything seems to be fine

#

I think it might just be how the socket AM5 is designed

vocal hare
#

its bad enough the asrock reddit has a pinned discussion post about iot

plucky timber
#

maybe AM5 is just more prone to manufacturinge rror

#

plus it's the same size as am4 iirc

#

although...

vocal hare
#

i mean it being square is the reason it doesnt really need a bracket right?

#

i mean the higher asrock percentage might just be more peple buying asrock

plucky timber
#

I think it's manufacturing error

vocal hare
#

outside of like tuf boards from microcenter bundles I swear most builds i see are like asrock or gigabyte

#

though only 2 or 3 gigbyte boards have had burnt 9800x3d

plucky timber
#

a lot of it comes down to skill issue

#

I'm kinda between user error and manufacturing error

vocal hare
plucky timber
#

here's the thing tho

vocal hare
#

if a slight shift causes the burn

#

because the first one was just a tiny shift of the cpu in the socket right?

#

it was otherwise aligned corrected before

plucky timber
#

I wouldn't quite jump to design yet

#

because of the sheer amount of people with am5 cpus that haven't burnt in

vocal hare
#

right

#

idk what is with these boards though

plucky timber
#

I mean it seems to happen to X3Ds

#

and higher power chips

vocal hare
#

its only been 9800x3ds so far right?

#

or was there 7800x3d

plucky timber
#

yes

#

there were 7800X3D too

vocal hare
#

ok

#

welp we shall see with the ryzen 9 x3d launches

plucky timber
#

I don't think it's the socket itself

#

it could be a design issue somewhere

#

say the motherboard overvolting the cpu

#

but I have a hunch that says it's not the socket

vocal hare
plucky timber
#

no that's straight up cpu degradation

vocal hare
#

wasnt there a bios drama in the past?

#

like mobos automatically overvolting?

plucky timber
#

not sure

#

depends on when you're looking at

vocal hare
#

but yeah its not the same as the dregadation

#

those cpus didn't get burned

#

yeah one of the posts from 20 days ago tested a 9600x after and it was fine

oh yeah the 5700XT was $399

#

msrp

#

think about that before you buy a gpu these days

vocal hare
#

i bought a msrp 2070 super from evga

#

and then did the trade up to 3080

plucky timber
#

EVGA mentioned

mossy venture
#

$1100 3060 12gb

plucky timber
#

wtf is a 40 series card peepoSadSip

vocal hare
#

so like i def overpayed for the 3080 but that was just the price of a high end evga 3080

plucky timber
#

I mean

#

it's an EVGA

#

🤷‍♂️

#

they don't make those anymore

vocal hare
#

nah this was 2021

plucky timber
vocal hare
#

i miss them though

mossy venture
#

i got a 3060 ti in a really bad pre built

plucky timber
#

you can probably sell that EVGA in a couple years

#

might have value to collectors

mossy venture
#

and then paid $150 for an evga BBQ and $150 for a dog crap case from a local pc shop

vocal hare

i woulda bought a like evga 4070 and just started the trade up program to a 5080

What’s peripherals ig?

mossy venture
#

it was $1020 recently but went oos by the other seller

#

$1250 is still solid

gre is abt 10-15% better than the 7800xt

#

and 2tb ssd

psu prob isn't as good as if you built yourself but nothing explosive

@mossy venture ik you would probably know but is current market like totally screwed even for midrange Radeon

I looked at Amazon earlier and I found no GREs

Seeing mixed reviews

mossy venture
#

that's a lot of pixels

#

it's on the low end of what id consider for it

severe hull
#

😭😭

#

Seems like amd is tough for triple screens or ultra wide

mossy venture
#

i mean it'll definitely run a 49" ultra wide

#

i just mean in games that's going to be heavy on the gpu

#

it'd be the same on a 4070 super

#

actually worse since it has less vram

severe hull
#

Looking into sim racing asset to corsa isint demanding

mossy venture
#

it should handle that fine

severe hull
#

If I ever did other games I wouldn’t use that monster of a screen

mossy venture
#

7900 gre is no slouch

#

just 1440p UW is heavy

severe hull
#

Yea I understand I did not think of it like that since it’s so wide it has more pixels to push

mossy venture
#

still not as heavy as 4k tho

#

it should be alr

severe hull
#

I would probably get another screen to run other games . I have a 1440 144 but for example COD I would need more FPS so I probably still need to get a 1440 244

mossy venture
#

OLED

#

ultra wide OLED

dusky hearth
mossy venture
#

240hz is $950

severe hull
#

That’s not oled right

mossy venture
#

nah

#

i wouldn't consider a non oled screen for that price

#

even if it was a downgrade in refresh rate, it'll be much smoother overall

mossy venture
severe hull
#

Interesting

#

I wouldn’t need the 244 either

#

So 144 is great

mossy venture
#

Yeah oled is fantastic, it's got much Iower input delay, almost no motion blur, and some other plus sides I'm too forgetful to remember

cool thanks

mossy venture
#

The 7600, 7800x3d, 9800x3d, and 13600k/14600k make the most sense in gaming builds

#

13700k and 14700k both perform within 1-2% of the 13600k/14600k in games

#

And 12700k is worse than all of the above

fresh stag

What's the budget for the whole build?

alpine flame

based off everyones best knowledge, what is the best GPU out of the 3 listed: 4090, 5070ti, or 5080? Trying to decide on the right parts and having issues picking the correct GPU. It will more than likely be paired with the Ryzen 7 9800x3D or the Ryzen 9 9950X

@mossy venture @plucky timber @stoic island so I’ve been reading and from what I understand gigabyte may have not supported 9000 x3d chips with their original bios version that the board ships with so I’m gonna flash today and see if that was the issue all along

If your friend really wants a 3050 for some reason, maybe like 400 pounds. Or for 800 pounds, go for maybe a 4060 (Ti) or 7600/7700 XT at least. Or just wait until there are PCs with RDNA 4 GPUs

hey, random question, my friend just upgraded her pc and we started playing a game together and then it popped and randomly turned off. We tried again and it happened three times total and it did the same thing everytime after like 5-10 minutes of playing

is that just gonna be a psu issue?

she can just warranty the psu if that is gonna be the issue I just wanna make sure that is the issue before we go through the effort of doing that

issue is when a psu dies, it might take other parts with it
