if you have a am5 cpu you should be able to install windows
7800x3d
yeah your mobo should have a hdmi or DP port
yh thats what i used to look at bios
right
I'm back gamers
Wb
Ive got the oled black too yeah, its definitely more readable than with the grey oml
can i run unraid with a encorder card cause i was thinking about reusing my GPU till the 5080 prices goes to msrp
?
i’ve been waiting for the rtx 5090 D to drop to $200
sigh…
never gonna happen
You already know
so my my girlfriend told me she giving me 8k. and help gaming pc. i heard 5090 and the 5080 have there issues. so i dont know what prebuilt i should go with and i am looking for a 4080 or a 4070 ti. i need at lest to be able to add hard drives. It would be easier if i could oder them with the computer. but i want all 6 drives and more then 16tb how do i acomplish this
By $200 or to $200
Your request is uhh
Very specific
It's not really possible to have a prebuilt that ships with what you want
ok is it possible to fill all six hdd slots
Here's the thing
Prebuilts don't generally come with 6 hdd slots
They just don't
Not in 2025
You would have to swap the case out at the very minimum
Right
You still have to find out what power supply it has
And if it has enough sata power connectors
i looked it up once or twice and now i can stinking rember
ok
are 5090s and 5080s ok to use right now with the problems they have at the momment
Uh
No
Absolutely not
You're paying inflated prices for a product that delivers mediocre performance for the price, has a fire risk, and a high chance of missing ROPs
Idea
Why don't you get a regular pc and a nas instead
It would be a far more practical setup
theres certin things i want to to thats like spongbob but it has to do with collecting
But how does that require 6 hard drives all in one computer
You can access the nas from your pc
It's not like you're going to be using all the hard drives at the same time
no i got a second computer i was going to turn int unraid and a media server
Also what do you mean by "spongebob"
seedbox
You can do that on a server...
You don't need it on your primary pc
Why do you need that much storage on one machine
What exactly are you doing on it
well i was going to game with 135tb roms but comcast aka num nuts is too slow and i dont get 2.5 gig fiber for at least a month ish but i could retaire my gaming pc and turn it into a server
how do you have...
Ok hear me out
What if
You get a server with a 2.5GBe connection to your pc also with a 2.5GBe connection
And stream the roms off it
And also what roms are you running anyways
Surely a gigabit connection is fast enough
Here's the thing you don't need 2.5Gbps fiber to have a 2.5Gbps local connection
its only 2.5 down and 500 up.
No no no
You don't understand
Gigabit local connection
Stream whatever files off your server
A local 2.5GbE is probably faster than any hard drive on the market
You can stream files off your server
You just need 2.5 GbE nics on both computers
how fast will it be beacuse i cant download or upload
No no no
You don't understand
It is LOCAL
It is separate from your internet
Ok
Think about it this way
You have your pc
With say one 2TB ssd
No hard drives
But the HDDs are in your server
Assume both computers have a 2.5GbE nic
Your server is physically connected to your gaming pc with a ethernet cable
It is a LOCAL network
You get as much bandwidth as the hardware can handle
Which is 2.5Gbps
Or around 312.5 megabytes per second
Which is faster than most HDDs
oh
Do you understand what I'm trying to say here
Basically
You can move all the storage off your main pc
yed
Into one big server
And added benefit
Next time you want to upgrade your gaming pc
It's easier to move files around
Cuz it's all in the server
What in the name of Ra is a zidoo
its a media box it lets you its a streaming box like nvida shield
Where exactly are your movies stored
it would be on the server
I have no idea how your gizmo works
But I assume if it has that functionality
It would let you select a network drive
An alternative is to just run a plex/jellyfin media server on the server itself
it take yes it takes ethernet and wifi. i would be eaither be using jellyfinn or plex pluck emby
ok. then how do i stream
yea
what
with plex or jellyfin
ok
@mossy venture almost done picking my stuff https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wjL4PJ
turns out the nvme i picked was slow asf, so i used the sites thingy and found a fast asf one, and my fan was too expensive and it was kinda loud, so i used the websites decibel checker, i got a ram that’s ddr5 6000 so it’s stable, and it’s also designed for the 9000 series of ryzen, and then the gpu ofc is the link you sent me, how’s the gear so far?
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
The 980 pro is overpriced asf
^
Most Samsung stuff is overpriced
for a good reason? or just cuz
“Name brand” type overcharge
plez help me edit my list, i want the fan to be quiet, that’s a top priority because i do audio.
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
I think they’re doing that
Also I'm 98% sure I made you three lists yesterday and one used the 9900x
Really good list here @broken barn
I didn’t do much, so give it all to Bacca
is the fan quiet? because that is a top priority for me
ts so ezzzz
Yes
what’s 9x=18
I was better at trig, that was my thang
Thats algebra
LOL
My teacher 100% gave me the grade I needed on my final to not fail

If i didn't decide to do nothing for a semester of online schooling I'd have passed pre calc in 10th grade
I tried taking pre calc in high school couldn’t but i found it significantly easier in college
Really?
Maybe it was my teacher
Nah my pre calc prof in college sucked balls
I think its more of how much time u can dedicate to assignments
In high school ur juggling like 8 subjects
Possibly clubs
And stuff
Waking up super early in the morning
It sucks
@mossy venture is the ram i chose good? it says it’s meant for the 9000 series, which means my 9900x should be good, and it’s also 6000 and not 6400 so stability will be good
and as for the mobo, what you chose was great apart from a few issues, do you know anything with like 5 3.0 usb ports, an extra usb type c,
Its nothing special but its fine
There's identical kits for $85-90 but if you like the aesthetic its fine
i actually don’t care about the aesthetic, i want performance, do you know anything better at 32 gb ram
Silicon power 6000c30
plez link
i hope it doesn’t bother you i ask help so much
what makes that one better
cuz there’s like 0 reviews
Guaranteed Hynix die so it'll overclock wonderfully, priced good and it fits any non-white build
who is this for
You lol
Methinks Bacca is not online rn so I'm pitching in
tank you for ze pitch in
No problemo
what do you feel about the ram i chose
i think it’s pretty good
it’s advertised as for the 9000 series of ryzen
which i wanna get a 9900x
and it’s 32gn ddr5 6000
and it’s cl 30
What is it?
lemme link you
Cuz all 6000 CL30 is guaranteed to be Hynix
So they'll all perform within margin of error (short of component failure or being DOA)
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
imagine it without the rgb, that was a mistake
it’s extra money and useless
to me
6000 CL30s are all the same
Get literally the cheapest of them you get and you profit
they’re all the same? so it being advertised as for the 9000 series is just fake
If you pay more than absolute cheapest
You're paying for aestheticß
Technically all 6000 CL30 is compatible with Ryzen 9000 processors
So it's like a marketing thing
i think i might stick with it ngl cuz after all it’s just $100
How much is the Silicon Power?
84 bucks i’m pretty sure
good point but like it has barely any reviews
ima switch it out for the sc then
See you saved 16 bucks and lost nothing!
YIPPEE
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dPw7MC
does the gear look nice tho? ignore the mobo cuz i wanna find a different one
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
actually i might switch the nvme
i used the sites benchmark thingy and the one originally on there was apparently slow asf
ssd speed doesnt really matter for gaming
I don't know what you'd use the 9900X for?
Are you like a streamer or something like that?
Usage: exporting related stuff like videos, live audio, gaming here and there, general use, multiple chrome tabs, multitasking (prioritized, such as gaming with a lot of stuff in the background), ai stuff (not as prioritized)
wouldn’t hurt to have it fast teehee
only if its money youre fine tossing lol
How averse are you to a 13700K/14700K?
i want strictly ryzen no glaze (full glaze actually)
30 bucks wont make a big deal tho
really? i saw the score the difference was insane with the read write speed thingy or wtv
I'm just asking cuz the 14700K is pretty much the CPU for your use case
oh really?
lemme go on cpu benchmarks and look up
it generally wont make a noticable difference
I'd say so yes
It's also cheaper than a 9900X
you could just round up and get about 3tbs of storage for that price
you'll notice an extra tb WAY before that speed
Since the 9900X is likely to have issues with cross-CCD latency in games
And that's not really talked about with benchmark scores
that’s actually a good point
But you'll notice hitching and so
so the 14700k is just better overall
I mean you CAN make the 9900X work
It's just gonna need you to actually make an effort to like use a third party tool to force the game to run on one CCD
more cores doesnt always mean more perf past 8 cores for ryzen typically
Ye my point exactly
youll have to swap mobo too
oh yeah
But you can use the same memory
yup, ddr5 works for all supporting board types
this just made me kick my feet
uefuwbcubceubiefb
huh 
You TECHNICALLY get a wee bit more performance with like 7200 memory
But it is so diminishing returns I'd not even bother
7200 memory also costs more
Like WAY more
7200mhz?
Ye
so it’s like wanting a more filled up swimming pool but you’re pouring your water bottle in it
I was making note that TECHNICALLY it's SLIGHTLY better but never worth it
fair
I guess in a way yea
oh my fuggin gawwddd the cpu has 20 cores, ts sounds good asffff
cl30 6000 is such a good sweetspot
^
Because remember
Hynix die
That's what matters not brand or reviews
Cheap Hynix die >>>> anything else
i don’t plan on any overclocking, should i stick to the silicon power one for ddr5 6000 cl 30?
i still need to check if my gre's v ram is hynix or samsung
pretty sure its samsung tho
Yeah that's the meta
We're just saying you can OC it and get the same memory you'd have to pay like 140 bucks to have it adverised
overclocking is hella safe nowadays
really?
worst thing it does is, oh no, reboot your pc
i’ve always been not wanting to do it
what if i over clock a 60hz monitor to 300 hz
300hz is already kinda pointless
180-240 is the most you'll even notice
for comp higher can help but its minimal
and im talking pro esports
but the refresh rate isnt even the only hitch there, everything else impacts
@tawny violet how’s the current gear in this list for my needs?
Part List - Intel Core i7-14700K, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
oled so expesnvieee
oled is dropping down at least
tho i wish i had a miniled rn
id trade in my ips without hesitation
No motherboard?
Nah i spend a lot of time doing this
Way too much
Idm questions especially from someone who's looking for advice instead of someone to agree with their choices
The 14700k will likely need an aio
280-360mm
Also lowkey
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16819113791T
$450 7950x3d
That'd be perfect for you
It's whatever
Cross CCD still a thing
I was recommending the 14700K cuz it works close to X3D in games but has the e-cores for streaming background apps
fair
Also Quicksync is cool as heck
Hes doing some exporting and i think video editing
i know rendering time is significantly affected by the cpu, but curious about general performance otherwise?
im gonna assume adobe has an intel bias too
I have no clue on that
7950x3d is 5-15% better depending on the game (maybe more in games that really like x3d, like rust)
In other stuff idk
Using cores from the standard CCD kinda ruins the gains tho
Project lasso
weird cropping because youtube video lol
but
aggregate score in adobe
intel's e-cores really struggle to keep up dont they
tho its definitely still impressive
im curious why amd only has p cores or whatever alternative youd call it
That's effort I'm not sure most end consumers would want to put into it
But yes it can be fixed
It still is annoying that you have to
tbf when you buy any amd cpu past 8 cores its work youre signing up for
i dont know intel enough
i never see anyone talk about intel cpus here lmao
other than like
"ooOoOo latest gens were a bust oOooOoo"
700K and 600K skus are pretty good value lately if stock remains
Prices pretty much plummeted
hope prices stay that way
x3d one is outta stock, how’s the 7950x, because i think it actually looks pretty, idk whether to get that, or the 14700K
what would process lasso do
the 7950x>14700k for multi core, they're about equivelant for games
tells tasks to run on specific cores I think
ohhh
hm, okay so they are equal for games, but how about everything else, exporting related stuff, multiple tabs, multitasking, live audio, ect
refurbished looking really eye catching rn (7950x)
the only things you need to worry about are the live audio and exporting, a 4 core cpu can handle dozens if not hundreds of good tabs and general multi tasking
i dont know enough about either live audio or exporting to answer that though
im not me without my 64 instances of windows
thats what 64 bit windows stands for right?
Definitely
what nas has the most bays for 4k and under that support plex and jellyfinn and uses sfp+
4k USD

plez rate it
there’s no mobo yet
@tawny violet
chatgpt just said the cpu gpu and the ram is impressive
oooooo
chatgpt is very useless for pc builds
really? i’ve been using it for advice like for 3 days deciding my pc
yes, ive seen a lot of people ask it for builds or build advice and end up with a very bad value pc
like the pc would be good, but they could have gotten a lot better one for the same price?
Depending on price I might still suggest the 700K, but the 7950X is also good
the 7950x ima get refurbished
for like 350$
imo pretty goated deal
Ah that's actually competitive
You'll be great with either, even though I still think the 700K would benefit you
Still, refurb 7950X is def valid
Honestly just get whichever is cheaper for CPU+mobo
what do you think is better for me
because atp they’re the same price for me
cuz i can get the 7950x reburished
and then the 700k regular priced cuz idk where to find any refurbished ones
my thought is the 7950x
It's truly a tossup
what does tossup mean
Quicksync might be really useful for you, but even then
That both are valid and very close
As much as a specific feature or brand preference can decide it
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5031vs5719/AMD-Ryzen-9-7950X-vs-Intel-i7-14700K
appears to me the ryzen one’s a lot better idk
ohhh
Overall Bacca's points are valid
It's just that I think the 700Ks are really meant for the exact use case that you have
There's both ups and downs to both really
awwhehshd this is so hard to choose
that makes sense
Honestly coin toss would probs help with indecision
Heads Intel, tails AMD
Flip a coin and if you like the outcome take it
And if you didn't then you already made a decision just needed to reaffirm it
if i were to get the 700k id get it reburished but newegg doesn’t even have it
ykw, ima choose the amd one because im used to having amd stuff
heads is amd ima reaffirm it
yeppppppp
amd it is LOL

Wait
Why the hell do you need double USB-C?
Also two headphone jacks.
I don't think any does honestly
i have a few headphones/audio gear, i have a audio interface for the usb c port, and i need the second one for connecting my iphone to my pc
which model?

i have 7800x3d/B650 eagle AX mobo. can i setup windows and everything im missing my gpu cuz its taking ages to come
It's 2 CUs
It's gonna make for A display output
But it's not meant to be gamed on
i won’t play games yet
Good for troubleshooting tho
but yh can i set up windows or should i wait
so then it’s decided @tawny violet
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xz4BFZ
this is what i have, how would you rate it? like the case quality/airflow, the gear, reliability, how good the cpu fan is, if it’s quiet (this is very important actually), and stuff like dat
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
Power supply I'm not entirely sure on
Case is Montech it's cheap stuff but decent for it
Cooler is pretty much top of the line, though sound IDK about
I'm actually gonna say I don't like the PSU
Bitfenix is unknown to me
Psu is good and cooler is quiet
Didn't even know they make PSUs
A tier on SPL/Cultists?
They had one of the best atx 2.0 psus and just slapped atx 3.0 spec on it basically
Bfg=bitfenix formula gold
Again I didn't even know they make PSUs so
That tells me little
But I'm assuming A tier on SPL
Or cultists
And yeah bfg was A tier on cultists, bfg atx 3.0 is A tier on the new list
Unless it's b+ idk
Lemme check rq
Alright then nevermind it was just me not knowing
Also
A good 750 would be enough for that build iirc
But having some headway is not unwelcome if the price is right
Oh yeah the 850w is b+ while the 1000w/1200 are A tier
So no complaints there
@mossy venture @tawny violet so i am destined to have a good ass setup?
currently i run a bamboo 🐼 case
Air X is surprisingly good value, but sadly discontinued by now
I'd def recommend it
Double 200mm fans are actually great in my case
Sama 3509 and king 65 pro are worth checking out
idk what to pick
Oh this sale is back
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TnCZxr/adata-xpg-core-reactor-ii-1000-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-corereactorii1000g-bkcus
$110 good 1000w psu
Just grab that
They'll do the job the same
Whichever one you like the aesthetic of more
I can grab alternatives too
oh shi the case has ports YOOO
Those are just a few options
and how psu’s work is they won’t use 1000w constantly right? it only uses how much it needs, and like 1000w is the upper limit?
Yeah
The 850w is $10 cheaper if you'd like
Either is fine
Ye that's how it goes
I'd grab the larger one cuz the price difference is small
Just in case you end up getting a 90 class card later
bet swapped out for this one
$10 is nothing
is there any cases where the cooling isn’t loud, that’s a too priority for me ngl
and the ports are fire on the king 65 pro
It’s back
But I can’t go without a psu for 6 days lol
psu
Oof
You could do a case without fans, and then buy quiet fans if you'd like
Otherwise case won't affect noise much
ykw i can just remove the background noise using my audio tools, i think this setup is lowkey fire
i got few questions. do i sell my ryzen 9 5900 32 gbddr4 54tb total compacity with 12tb disks but one is dieing? I can reuse that money to build a better gaming computer and build a nas?
I mean why not reuse the storage?
i can just dont think people would want a 1tb nvme i forgot to mention thats slow
I'm very confused atm
You have 54tb of mostly hdds, right?
And you want to build a nas with hdds?
yes but i want a gaming a better gaming computer i got a super old vii GPU. I have limited room since i rent a room in adult foster home and by baratirc bed and my trapaezz takes alot of room. so I cant have two full desktops in the way but i can put the server in the closet perhaps but i would have to ask permission since i would have to have a caregiver drill holes for networking
build a better *
So are you against reusing your hard drives for the NAS?
one drive is dead almost but i will not work with unraid. but no i am not. do i need matching drives for truenas do vms cause i need few vms too.
I don't think you need matching drives, I've never messed with a NAS before
Someone else would be more help for that, one sec
@gleaming kernel are you busy/awake?
Wait it's like 3am there
What do you use the build for? Obviously more than gaming lol
Video editing?
was going to but then i forgot to buy the things i needed and now the prices are doubled

And are you wanting to replace cpu mobo and ram as well?
Or just move the storage and replace gpu
well i wanted to do a unraid aio build but the people at homlab discord said bad idea but now its even more temting to do so
You can if youd really like to but theres not many benefits
would it be risky
Aios have a lifespan of 3-6 years, they don't often leak but the possibility is there
So what do you want to replace
no unraid all in one build

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16819113771T?Item=N82E16819113771T
did you install windows 11 pro or home? the key can only be activated (in the menu) if you install the right version (though there are workarounds)
seems like the workaround is to activate it after installing windows
?
Epyc chips have igpus but 7950x does too
ik can they both transcode 1 4k stream

sorted it out now thanks
can i download all my games without a gpu (it comes on saturday). i have integrated graphics for now
yes
I’d been meaning to wipe pc for a bit but I’d like to keep some game clips any suggestions? The problem being it’s like a tb worth of clips
An external drive
Could it be possible if I format one of my hard drives and move all my clips on it then I could remove that hard drive from pc and wipe the pc and once I’m all set up install the drive with the clips would that work ?
If you have a spare drive you can just move them there
Wiping windows should be just the main drive
I was advised by someone who deals with enterpise gear for living and he recomended i go with a rackmount 24 bay. Who do i go with? will it make my room a oven? how do i buy boxes of hard drives?

If it's in another room yeah for sure but
Servers are loud af
You're better off getting a Ugreen nas or building your own
If you wanted 24 drives you'd just ask your friend lol, see if he can get you any good deals
Or eBay

what is your budget?
80 - 100 $
Got told the ram sucks
it does
but if it works it works
there are many issues with that build
but since you already have it
🤷♂️
It's not a good kit
but I wouldn't replace it unless it's actually unstable
(there is unironically a decent chance of that happening because vengeance is hot garbage)
How would the ram effect performance
it's one of the main components that determine performance
at least in regards to modern hardware
say
Is it 16gb or 32?
I wouldnt stay its pointless to upgrade, considering he can resell it to make up some of the cost
5200c40 is significantly worse than 6000c30
he can resell the ram kit but
think the ram is the biggest thing we can tinker with really
True if you want to put some effort into ram tuning (overclocking) it'll accomplish the same thing
would you mind downloading a program called hwinfo64
actually no
there's no need
open task manager
and go to the ram tab
and then send a screenshot
though hwinfo is also a useful program
Just download mcafee and all your problems go away

well ofc its not gonna be there, theres an option to whether instal things to current user, or all users
ig do ⊞ + L to go to the sign in screen and play on his user
yh ik, so i guess ill delete everything and reinstall to all users, or can i just change it rn
games typically im pretty sure, doesnt even have an option to do to all users
its best for u to seperately install it onto yours
ima steal his user he can setup his own shi
keep the user with the games already, and have the second user be your stuff
is 2k too much for this https://www.ebay.com/itm/134831385825?_skw=12+bay+4u&itmmeta=01JN2RRKAMWS1Y0H23E553EZGQ&hash=item1f6493ace1:g:URwAAOSwd1xg0muC&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fLKXviKRbHFP8qlcrLIXp60nt%2BZrGe%2F2NHjOj0CVT2HTfca4snw5wuRcgQmCeJ5GNJfA1cthpttVQbEqZlluJc0x16uYvBvCgVOH5PiFQU92nelp1VJ7c6GMceHbpkiQaigXzUeDfG%2Fw9HUtCPxf1h%2FzWNyetqVjfzWAZHnrJQwnkKNoXiNW5uOUlFpehE0sdLI2A%2B8swjq%2FQGay8obwiJx9dZjQHRd7GisBVH0z2qPmVThEhi3YxPSAyq1s6n2gZe8C1pwvYlkYNqM8Vd4cxso9Pff9YlKwS2gqw%2FwINoLA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7i14tioZQ Hard drives: 12x 12TB SAS3 12Gbs Major brand Hitachi/Seagate (room to add in 24 more drive.

why u need 144tb
LOL
editor prolly
Make sure you have a 2.5GbE nic
On both the server and your client machine
Oh it's got a gigabit nic
Eh
To be fair I doubt you'd be maxing out gigabit that often anyways
You can always upgrade the nic later
yup my friend who works in entrprises his name is joe he recomended sfp+ for my gaming computer. but i was going to get a 10 gig rj45 45 since i dont know how to run fiber though the whole house. I gusss i could buy cables and a couple sfp+ switchs and call it a day or how would i do thant and vise vercia for rj45
for 10gig
I mean
Here's the thing tho
You're running a hard drive server
Unless you're striping or mirroring the drives
You probably won't need that much speed
ok would it make much of a difference for seedbox vm. Then jellyfinn or plex ?
Ok
That doesn't eat up that much bandwidth
I'm more talking about streaming roms directly off the server to your gaming pc
I'd say 2.5GbE is a decent middle ground
10gbps would be nice tho
And would future proof you
well the manger of the group home wanted fiber too so hes paying half
is it this one
I'm talking about the network interfaces cards on your server & gaming pc
Memory
Yikes
Ok sorry its been a hell of a day and im sleepy but mr not so bright had 1 liter of mountin dew with dinner
Ok that is actually awful
is it bad 
Well first off
what do i do
You have corsair vengeance
The worst possible memory
Second
It's 5200MHz
If you wanted
You can probably sell your memory kit
And buy a new kit
what should i buy
You got intel right

that is not a bad thing
Basically Ryzen cpus doesn't like ram above 6000MHz
while intel can go higher
so what ram should i gt
I'm working on it
i just play games and use after effects on my pc
tytyy
ok so
we don't think there's anything worth upgrading
I mean your pc is not optimal but
doesnt my ram sucks
it does
but the amount of money you have to spend to get a slight bit of improvement is ehhh
Not enough to justify changing
Honestly not the end of the world
Maybe a case change, maybe a psu change
what is your complete spec?
Not much else for $100 that might be worth it
hmmm oki
Another ssd if you need more storage
Hell, I've ran jedec and was fine side note: I do not play many games
yes
😭
That's an idea then
do you have a spare m.2 slot?
uh i dont think so
Man's got less free space than I do
You also have a bajabillion threads running at any given moment
idk how to clear up space
ok
Delete files
hmm
ive tried deleting lots of thingss still doesnt change anything
Empty recycling bin
did that
Uninstalling games you don't play
Though 2tb isn't that much nowadays
did that
Working hard or hardly working
Ahah both if you think about it

should i delete my anime feet pics folder
Yeah try it

😳

is this now good
depends on your definition of good
Why is clipchamp 1.5gb
meanwhile
What the hell is taking up 500gb
Who even uses clipchamp
are chinese spies using my pc
do you have steam
ye
You got a lot of game clips or something man
Download wiztree
what builds for Supermicro CSE-847E1C-R1K28LPB budget 7k
check your steam library folder
i do
Can I make a genuine suggestion
Go and find the homelab server
wats thath
yes
They're much more suited for this kind of specialty pc
We mainly do consumer desktop, they mainly do NAS/Networking/Enterprise
poor felix got nerfed
ubisoft has decided that the recent update has made him too powerful
U bi soft
i love u
yeah it was mostly clips
Man's now has more free space than I do on my c drive
man
why was is it taking so much space smh
I just dump everything onto my nas
i had good blackmail
ahem
Lol now we talkin
I've been meaning to make a nas of some variety
But I haven't had the spare funds to buy the drives
Lmao
Right click on "My pc" on a drive

Sharing
Tick

thoughts on traps
LOL

i would never say smth bad
can kaleidescape rip 4k movies if i flash the firmware to make a uhd friendly drive and put it in usb encloser
my power supply has a daisy chained cable for the gpu: so theres 2 8 pins in one cable. is this fine or shall i use 2 seperate cables.
psu: be quiet 12 m 850w
gpu: 7900xt
Best to use two separate
So this guy bought the parts that are marked purchased and gave me $800 to fill in the rest. But the gpu shot through the roof.
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/oceanview418/saved/4MPc4D
The only thing he is interested in playing is Almost Human on the best settings possible
it’s private
Negative
One sec
Part List - Radeon RX 6750 XT
I need to get to $800 but the GPU went up like $300
He wants to play Almost Human on the best settings possible.
Although a used gpu with more vram would be better
2080 ti, 6700xt/6750xt, 6800, etc
I don't like buying used because I don't know enough about it
New gpus are not a realistic option right now, unless he wants to go for an rx 7600
Prices are wack
So the 3070 is a good option
Its not bad but not crazy
The 8gb vram on it will limit it in a fair number of games, which means turning the settings down
Ok do you know of a used gpu that you would trust
I don't have one atm but there's a seller I've been using on ebay recently. He doesn't have anything posted right now but there's been good deals almost daily
Let me grab the link
Ok thank you
They've had some $260-300 2080 tis, and some under $400 6800s and 6800xts
And i think some under $300 6700xts
how much better is the 6700xt and the 6800 from the 4070? 
Those are gpu supports, 3 fan cards especially need it
I have them for mine, ive got a red devil too
Gpu sag can destroy both your pcie slots on your mobo and mess up your gpu so its safer to use em
got it, ill place em
what about the lil remote thing
thats the stand
its weighted
also this should be on the manual as well
hmm so 3 different types
i assume i have to place all of em
in diff places
thanks @rain carbon ill check a guide
the clamps support the gpu, the weight holds it in place
youll one use one of those rods and one of those clamps, the other clamp and rod wont be used at the same time
you could also use literally anything to support it
legos, your moms credit card, whatever
Lol out of every option you could've chosen, probably found one of the only ones that are genuinely unreliable
Lol I don't know what I'm buying that's why I'm here for help
Find like a 3080 or 6800xt, both should be under $300ish
This is why I usually request links because I don't know enough to buy used
@vague oracle will that work
@vague oracle
He wants to play Once Human on the best settings sorry not Almost Human
wait a 20gb 3080???
Says Server Gpu?
That's quite sketchy
I figured
For that price as well
I just need s gpu that will work with the other parts and run his game smoothly
Part List - Radeon RX 6750 XT
My Custom Build 77
So i have rufly $300-$350 for a gpu
I'm about to purchase all the other items and then just wait for a gpu. Tbh
@restive halo
$20 cheaper 3070
Does anyone know the difference between the 7800xt gigabyte oc, XFX SWFT, and XFX QICK?
Nothing really
Thermals and sound maybe
I grabbed it
Is there one you’d recommend if they’re all around $550
One of the xfx ones
I think one has a tiny bit higher boost clock than the other
I was leaning towards the QICK XFX one just because it’s three fans instead of 2 like the swft. Might also wait to see if I can get my hands on a 9070
Yeah if they're the same price and a 3 fan will fit in your case, get that one. It'll be cooler/quieter
is this flashing light something to worry about
Drive activity indicator usually
(so no, don't worry)
gotcha, thanks bro
@rain carbon @mossy venture finally got it built, couldnt have done it without yall tsym!
aye glad you like it man, you did great
building your own pc is always rewarding
W
wait til you work on an itx build, itll change you as a person 🥹
yeah i installed the amd adrenaline thing
and the drivers
yee if you would
open task manager for me?
what do you see under gpu in the performance tab on the left
hm okay
have you checked any other games?
@mossy venture any idea?
Try an older version
fixed it
one last issue i think before everything is good to go
my screen goes darker then lighter 1% every few seconds sometimes
if that makes sense
like i can see some sort of shutter
I'm not quite sure wym
let me see if i can record it
