What are some nice looking rgb white fans for a decent price? Need 9 of them

[rain carbon]

at that point watch a "how not to pirate tutorial"

[weary galleon]

Thermalright c12c something

One sec

[rain carbon]

Thermalright and arctic got your back

[tender apex]

is the rx 7600 xt better than the 6700 xt?

[lone flame]

6700 XT out performs it iirc

[tender apex]

is it by a crazy margin?

[wide drum]

pretty sure it depends on resolution, ray tracing, cpu, settings, etc

[tender apex]

ohh okay

thanks

[tender apex]

better than the 7600 xt by 8%

[lone flame]

what resolution r u at

[tender apex]

1920x1080

[lone flame]

id watch some reviews about it as well, but imo id pick the 6700 XT

unless you need the vram

[marsh kiln]

Just looking at them, is 1550rpm low though?

[bitter lodge]

Hello

[tender apex]

Mainly just getting a new gpu for marvel rivals

[weary galleon]

Some fans go to like 2000 but you probably don't wanna run em that high anyways cause it's loud

[lone flame]

https://youtu.be/7vSnT0SP_2Y?si=fX1FCOy1MtgLw8AX

[tender apex]

im already seein them get 150fps

i WILL be buying the rx 6700 xt

already get a weird amount of fps spikes and drops

[bitter lodge]

I am building a new PC I got a on sale 1-5 14400 for 120, a A770 after sale and discounts for 200, 2TB Samsung NVME pulled because I upgraded the Ps5, Thermal lake 650PSU and a ASrock B660M Motherboard any other recommendations?

[weary galleon]

6000mhz cl30 ram

[tender apex]

how much ram do u have?

[bitter lodge]

16GB of 3200MT DDR 4

[tender apex]

thats solid imo

[weary galleon]

Is the mobo a ddr4 board?

[bitter lodge]

Yes B-660 is only comp with DDR4

[weary galleon]

Oh ok

If you haven't bought already I'd go ddr5

[bitter lodge]

I saw the GPU and CPU on sale at dirt cheap

[bitter lodge]

Its from a friends rig he upgraded right off the bat to 32GB and had two shims of unused 16Gb

[weary galleon]

I mean if you haven't bought the mobo yet

[bitter lodge]

No

[weary galleon]

Those CPUs can use either ddr4 or ddr5 but the perf is better on ddr5

[bitter lodge]

I have the CPU and GPU with SSD

[stoic island]

Some B660 boards will support ddr5 only, some support ddr4 only

You'll be able to finder cheaper b760 boards with ddr5 support if you could go for ddr5

[bitter lodge]

How much cheaper?

[stoic island]

B760 ddr5 boards are around the same price as B660 ddr4 boards, it's just that B660 ddr5 boards are a bit scarce now and the prices are high on those

[bitter lodge]

I have seen about 90-100 for the board

[potent portal]

You'll sacrifice up to about 10-15% of the CPU performance by using DDR4 instead of DDR5 with the 14400

Some games don't care about the memory speed but those that do, care a lot

[bitter lodge]

Thanks

[dusky hearth]

even at a cheaper price i wouldnt want to support adobe
because the cheaper price would still be expensive for the countries that the price is lowered in

adobe does not care about the little guy

they will continue to price gouge

[severe matrix]

hey guys, i got a question? Is the Phantom Spirit 120SE the best or one of the best budget air coolers? i saw Gamer Nexus's video, but he only measures the Peerless Assassin and not the new model (the Spirit)

Also, the Artic Freezer 36 seems to be better, but its running at 1612 RPM, meaning its gonna be way louder than 1092 RPM?

[analog hearth]

iirc it's basically the Hyper 212 Evo of the current decade

Too new to know what that means? Basically, yes, it's a very good budget option

I think from what I’ve researched it can even cool my 13700K if it came down to that

[weary galleon]

Spirit has an extra heatpipe so if anything it will be better

Granted the peerless assassin already has 6 pipes so idk how big a difference the 7th makes

[weary galleon]

Those results are noise-normalized, meaning each cooler was set to whatever rpm resulted in 25dba

Also the phantom spirit is on there

[analog hearth]

The loudness really depends on the design of the fans. I'd check for reviews regarding each cooler to see what you prefer (check for things like noise levels and how well they each cool, which I guess the latter you've already discovered)

[weary galleon]

The loudness is right there in the chart. Both are 25dba

[analog hearth]

I'm blind

[weary galleon]

Tbf there's something partially overlaid on it

Browser Fullscreen popup probably

[analog hearth]

It's Firefox's "Press the Esc. button to leave fullscreen view" or whatever it says

This lol

[severe matrix]

ah ok tysm guys

so wait

Artic Freezer 36 Black then? since same db level?

[severe matrix]

ahhh i see

W tech

[weary galleon]

Personally I'd opt for a thermalright dual tower over that

[severe matrix]

rlly wait y

artic 36 got best temps

does dual tower have lower sound etc?

or smth

[weary galleon]

Yeah idk how I feel about a single tower beating dual

Also the Arctic duals are like $35-40 so not any more expensive

[severe matrix]

hm true idk how it did that

[analog hearth]

Technically if you have two fans each attached to two different heat sinks on a single cooler, technically it can be quieter because the fans don't need to spin as fast to cool each tower

[severe matrix]

benchmarks dont lie tho right

unless gamers nexus

trippin

[analog hearth]

Not if they're from reputable sources

Yeah I'd trust GN

Probably the best reviewer there is other than Hardware Unboxed

[severe matrix]

i see

What's a good Artic Freezer dual tower then

not 36 right? since its single

[weary galleon]

I want to trust GN but my knowledge of physics wants to question that chart

[severe matrix]

or should i just go with the phantom spirit

lol

[analog hearth]

I personally wouldn't know. Unless a techie says here otherwise, I'd just stick to reviews and see what's good

[severe matrix]

double > single

[analog hearth]

Reddit also can nerd out a response for you if you wanted

[severe matrix]

right?

[analog hearth]

yes

[severe matrix]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Phantom-TL-C12B-Technilogy-Bearing/dp/B0BNDTJVPL

this one then?

unless u guys know a better one at same price or so

[weary galleon]

One of these 3

[analog hearth]

Yeah I've been thinking about getting a Phantom Spirit for a (secondary) 13700K build

Also, what CPU are you pairing either of these coolers with?

[severe matrix]

5700x3d

[analog hearth]

Basically all I'm seeing is that these coolers are at a worst-case scenario (that is, paired with a 14900KF) and these two options are still under 70C

Yeah for a 5700X3D, I'd just pick whichever you think looks best lol

[severe matrix]

gotchu

[analog hearth]

That 5700X3D gets nowhere near as hot as the 14900KF that's being used for that graph

[severe matrix]

and spirit > assassin right

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-MX-4-2019-Performance-Durability/dp/B07L9BDY3T

also this some good thermal paste?

[analog hearth]

Yeah if it fits in your case and if you think it looks better. You can't go wrong with it with that CPU

[weary galleon]

You could even do a $17 thermalright single tower cooler, that's what I have on my 5700x3d lol

[weary galleon]

Yup

[severe matrix]

just gettin double cuz y not

lol

gotchu tysm guys

[analog hearth]

Somebody might say something different but Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut isn't a bad compound

[weary galleon]

Yeah also means you can use it on a hotter cpu in the future

[severe matrix]

Artic vs Grizzly, thoughts?

[severe matrix]

true

[analog hearth]

ngl idk the difference

[weary galleon]

I think mx4 is fine

[analog hearth]

Even the stock thermal compound that came with my gf's AIO cools the CPU at ~30-35C at idle

[potent portal]

There's a new one too, duronaut for long life

[severe matrix]

mx4 seems to last longer

wait

its mx5

nvm

[analog hearth]

Yeah it might've been Hydronaut and not Kryonaut*

[weary galleon]

You might see a degree or two of difference between pastes but you already will have an overkill cooler

[potent portal]

MX-5 is discontinued, replaced by MX-6

[analog hearth]

I think that's what I bought for my gf but I ended up using the stock Lian Li thermal compound anyways lol

[severe matrix]

Artic MX-6 vs Duronaut, thoughts?

[analog hearth]

Duronaut probably

[potent portal]

I haven't seen any benchmarks but I'd go duronaut just so it lasts longer without worrying about drying out

[severe matrix]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Performance-Conductivity-Overclocking/dp/B0DSTWDYD2

this one right?

this the cheapest

[analog hearth]

Yeah that

thoughts on the ARCTIC P12 PWM PST case fans? can only use 120mm

[languid nimbus]

Arctic usually great

[severe matrix]

👍

[severe matrix]

u guys think that buying high refresh monitors like 360hz+ is even worth, even for competitive games?
usually, you would be used to playing on high fps right, (360fps), but in comp games, there usually times when the fps drops heavily
wouldnt your aim be affected a lot since your so used to high fps?
if so, would it be better to get a refresh rate (mybe 240hz), that would match the 1% lows of games just to play more consistently?

[severe hull]

@mossy venture

[delicate rivet]

anyone know how I can improve this or get anything for cheaper

prices seem scuffed rn

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TrJZwY

[potent portal]

That's what variable refresh rate (aka FreeSync, Gsync) is intended to fix. Reduced tearing and latency when frame rate drops.

[severe matrix]

oh i see, so wait, having 240fps on a 360hz monitor feels the same as 360fps on 360hz?

[potent portal]

Humans usually can't tell the difference between those frame rates anyway

[crimson zinc]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zg9RqH
@delicate rivet

Over budget, but get some parts used and you’ll be fine

[potent portal]

What it means is you don't get incomplete frames and stutter when fps drops

[severe matrix]

what i meant was like, you’ll always drop fps in games, so you would feel a difference between 360fps and 240fps right

people say they feel a big difference so idk about them tho

Gysnc and the like does help in tearing etc.

But my question is is there any point in getting a high refresh rate monitor if you’re gonna drop fps in games with high-load areas

You’ll feel a difference big enough that it could affect your aim and stuff, since you’re so used to 360fps on 360hz? now it dropped to 240fps and it feels different?

Would it be better to just stick with 240hz monitor to ensure that you always have 240fps and your feel of the game is consistent?

[zenith cargo]

um my FiiO k5 is displaying a red light

I unistalled it from device manager because I was having problems

not its just red

and cant hear nun

[plucky timber]

It depends from person to person

For me I just play at 60 (90 for fps games) so my laptop doesn't scream when I'm at 300Hz

I'd say it's noticable

But I'd also weight it against cost

The hardware requirement to sustain 360 fps is quite a bit higher than 240

Now, on competitive games you're probably playing on competitive settings too so it's kinda irrelevant

But it's still something to think about

[stoic island]

Check perfcapreason

Oh right it's Nvidia only, have to just eyeball temps and voltage and power draw and see what's the limitation

[zenith cargo]

[serene onyx]

Hey guys

I need help

Is this worth it?

I got 3 free 1tb m.2 sata drives

And I really don’t wanna spend 60$ for an actual nvme.

[plucky timber]

Oh

They're m.2-sata not sata-sata

[serene onyx]

Yeah

[plucky timber]

You don't need an adapter for that

Just plug it in

[serene onyx]

So it will plug into my motherboard?

And work fine?

[plucky timber]

Yes

[serene onyx]

Let me try

Taking out the ol motherboard

Oh crap

Wow

It does fit

Will it work normally?

[plucky timber]

When you asked for an adapter I thought you had 2.5" ssds

[plucky timber]

Yes

[serene onyx]

Ohhhh

Ah ok

[serene onyx]

AWESOME SAUCE

ok going to put one in my main system now

Awesome now I can use all 600 m.2 drives

[plucky timber]

If the ssd has a B+M key it can work generally

For m.2

If if fits in the slot

It probably works

[serene onyx]

Ok sick

How do I check if it does have that so it can work?

[plucky timber]

If it fits

Generally if it's incompatible they make it so that it won't even fit in the slot

[serene onyx]

Ah ok

Makes sense

Thanks for the help

Opening up my main rig now

[serene onyx]

@plucky timber

How do I make it show u

Up

Or format it

For my pc

[serene onyx]

Ok bet

[jaunty acorn]

Anyone else unable to open Adrenaline Engine even with running it as administrator?

[fossil cedar]

Try reinstalling the drivers probably a bad install

When installing the drivers again click the clean install option

[cyan ravine]

Basically ^

?ddu

[jolly river]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[cyan ravine]

Use this to reinstall

[analog hearth]

Uninstall* You'll still have to go and download the latest drivers and install those

[analog hearth]

Are you trying to launch it while in a game?

If not, then yeah just run DDU and install the latest drivers

[severe hull]

Very near first startup this is my first startup on a new PC. When I built my sons PC I used his existing ssd so everything essentially was there windows etc etc. so with a completely new build what do I expect ?

[hoary aspen]

i need Build PC for CPU AMD for GPU NVIDIA

[dusky hearth]

I would recommend using or making an autounattend file and putting it in the installation usb

So you can skip the ms account stuff

Here's one premade

[severe hull]

So put that on a Usb and simply start up

[analog hearth]

Nvidia is in a hot spot rn. Is there a specific reason you need Nvidia?

[potent portal]

You put it on the Windows installation USB, which is made before adding that file to it. Then the file directs the installer to do and not do certain things, which I listed in that post.

[snow dragon]

I want to add a 120 back here because I can fit one. Should I attach it to the cooler or the back of the case

If I attach to the cooler there is a small gap between the fan and the case

[dusky hearth]

I'd say cooler

[snow dragon]

True

Exhaust should be forced out no problem

[jaunty acorn]

AMD just released a new driver so hopefully that fixes it

[snow dragon]

I didnt put it on yet but removing the 92 actually lowered temps a little bit which is really interesting

Oh the next board im getting has a shield over the io so a 120 wouldn’t fit back there

Hmm

I tried fitting a fan in front but the front usb cable gets in the way

Man this tl b12 is weird

Weird hum when I have the front side on the heatsink, a different hum when the rear is on the heatsink

Maybe should have gotten the p12 for my tower

[snow dragon]

Nvm what I was hearing was actually the 92mm

Crazy

As long as you dont have the b12 behind a finstack its really quiet

We love doing unnecessary cooling optimization

[snow dragon]

False there still is a pingy resonance

[analog hearth]

You can put two more fans on this cooler lol

One on each side

[snow dragon]

Rear is only an option if I stay on am4 which eventually I wont

I have to reroute my usb and sata cables to fit one on the front

[analog hearth]

Oh gotcha

[snow dragon]

I think im returning this fan tho

People in the reviews were right

There is some resonance this fan has

[analog hearth]

Ew yikes

[snow dragon]

Hope the normal p12 doesnt have that

[snow dragon]

It can move air but at a certain rpm range some resonance comes out

I wonder if I could get a second one and have them at a lower rpm to avoid that

If it happened at a higher rpm then I wouldnt care, but it happens somewhere around 50-60% which sucks because thats where I think a lot of people have their fans set to

[weary galleon]

I think best would be on the front of the cooler, but idk if you're going for asthetics and don't want that

[weary galleon]

Pretty sure the P12s are known to have a whine at certain rpm

[snow dragon]

Cheap fan issues

My brother got a p12 max 5 pack and one of them was a dud that was relatively noisy

Maybe I should get another max and hope it doesnt have the same issues? Some people also had some resonance with theirs too

[real flicker]

72 degrees with a 5800x3d and a maybe 4-5 year old aio is there concerning? thats just loading monster hunter wilds

[mossy venture]

The 5800x3d is the hottest am4 cpu

If its under 90c in games, you're fine

[real flicker]

true but thats only at 60% utilisation

[mossy venture]

Don't trust task manager

[real flicker]

its amds software?

[snow dragon]

Whats the temp on other stuff

[mossy venture]

Could still be measuring the number of cores being used instead of the actual usage

[snow dragon]

Yeah not all load is the same

[real flicker]

tbf only just noticed it only monster hunter so far havent looked at others

[snow dragon]

Honestly I think its mh

They need new coders for that game fr

[real flicker]

i quite like it so far aha

least buggy new game launches ive had in a while though im used to tarkov so anything is less buggy then that lol

my Masterliquid Lite 240 still going strong then people seemed surprised that its lasted this long

[frosty ore]

Currently running (mainly for gaming@1080p):
Intel I5 10400F
Nvidia RTX 3070 Ventus 3X OC
Corsair 3200 DDR4 2x8GB RAM
ASUS Prime Z490M-Plus
Seasonic 650W

I started noticing performance drops on newer games which probably are due to my cpu/ram.. I’m going to swap the current ram for 32gb ddr5, but am uncertain of the CPU. I was thinking of getting a 5800x3d but assume I might as well get a motherboard upgrade as well. Any suggestions on what motherboard would be decent price/value for this setup?

[stoic island]

You will need a new mobo if you want to upgrade to ddr5, the mobo choice is going to depend heavily on what CPU you get

Also, 5800x3d is ddr4 only

7800x3d/9800x3d etc will be ddr5

[frosty ore]

Thanks! I’ll have a look at both these options!

[severe hull]

Thanks all especially @mossy venture

[snow dragon]

Should I get a tl-c12 and a p12 and see which is better

Idk kinda tired of returning stuff amazon probably hates me rn

[weary galleon]

I'd just lookup and see if the c12 has whine

[formal girder]

Personal experience I’ve had a few bearings going out on the arctic p12s and does whine but so far from me and my partners experience with c12c has been pleasant and no issues yet

Tho little bit noisier but not a whine

[snow dragon]

Forgot to bring it up

Something interesting about the b12 is that the pingy resonance only happens when changing rpm around 50-60%

Its not as bad when it sits at a certain rpm

[fresh stag]

what's the best ARGB fan hub??

[tawny violet]

usually what's built into your case because it's free

But if you have to buy one

Arctic makes one that's nice and priced reasonably

Aliexpress has cheap ones that are just bare PCB but work just fine

[analog hearth]

For an easy solution, you can plug the ARGB connector directly into your motherboard. If needed, get an ARGB splitter. There are some controllers that use the internal USB 2 header but I don't use those

This is what I do and it works fine

[crimson zinc]

Recommendations

[lone flame]

9070?

[severe hull]

7900xt

[analog hearth]

For the USB 2 ones? I wouldn't know what's good. I feel like I'll mention anything and everybody will be like "IT HAS BAD SOFTWARE." My girlfriend and my other friend are using Lian Li's L-Connect. But that’s a whole controller you'd have to pay for and I forgot if you can just put normal ARGB connections on it

The cheap and easy way is to just use the motherboard's ARGB controller with OpenRGB. I suspect though that some (most?) Asus boards have issues with OpenRGB, so just use Armoury Crate/Aura if you have to (almost a last resort sort of thing)

[lone flame]

🫡 nice man looks great

[crimson zinc]

My mobo+case both do not have an argb controller, but the fans can change on the same case, with a different name+controller added. But I have my ID-cooling fan that I’d like to have a header for.

[wary tundra]

I recently purchased a 9070xt and I was wondering if I could maybe get by with my 5600x or should I upgrade to something faster.

[snow dragon]

What res

And what do you play

But I think you should regardless

But honestly depending on what you play, you might be able to stick with it for a bit unless you are ok with upgrading now

[tawny violet]

Honestly OpenRGB is great but I can't get used to it

[snow dragon]

If you cant upgrade you can cope by cranking the settings to have more gpu load

[tawny violet]

The UI is early 2000s vibe
And it handles clunky as hell

[snow dragon]

Maybe

[tawny violet]

But I'm gonna have to learn using it cuz I don't think Asrock RGB software is good

[wary tundra]

Sorry I should’ve said that. I play on 1440p and while I mostly play older games I like to try newer games sometimes.

[snow dragon]

Yeah youll be pushing hella frames then

What did you upgrade from

[wary tundra]

3080

[snow dragon]

Yo thats huge

Yeah you will most likely be limited in some games

I lowkey think i am rarely cpu limited at times in warframe even though I have a 6600

[analog hearth]

Is there not one on your motherboard?

And then just use OpenRGB

[crimson zinc]

There is not

[analog hearth]

I wouldn't know about specific hardware-based controllers

Felix might

[crimson zinc]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KXDyLc

[tawny violet]

What Mobo is it?

[crimson zinc]

.

@tawny violet

The m100r case has the argb controller. I have the m100a

[tawny violet]

Okay so

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001738207178.html

What fans do you have?

And how many?

Cuz this adds a single 5vARGB connector from a USB port

Then you can use ARGB splitters to connect all of them together into the controller if you can't daisy chain off the fand @crimson zinc

Then you can control it with OpenRGB

It will absolutely be janky as hell

But it's about the best solution I can offer you

https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/argb-led-controller/?tab=tech_spec
This is a nicer alternative if you can get it

But it's bound to cost more

[crimson zinc]

Base fans, 4.

All daisy chained to 1 connector

[tawny violet]

Oh that's cool, then you just need the controller itself

[crimson zinc]

Yes

[tawny violet]

The AliExpress one should be detected by OpenRGB

But I can't guarantee it
Cooler Master one doesn't need software as claimed, but IDK how it functions exactly

These are the options I can find quickly

You might have more if you dig deeper into USB-based ARGB controllers

[severe matrix]

Gotta question, for my Core Reactor II psu, there’s PCIE Cables that are one single one and others that are daisy chained into more , it’s safer to use the single cable ones right? less points of failure/balanced load ?

[tawny violet]

It really depends on what card you have

[severe matrix]

9070xt

[tawny violet]

I'd personally use the single plug ones (primarily cuz it's cleaner that way once you cable manage)

[severe matrix]

gotchu

[tawny violet]

How many PCIE plugs do you have on PSU side?

And how many EPS do you use?

[severe matrix]

what’s EPS? also i’m not entirely sure lol couldn’t find any

i got the Taichi OC 9070xt, and based on gamers nexus

[tawny violet]

It's the 6 pin cable you plug into your motherboard

[severe matrix]

it’s a 12 2x6 port

am i cooked?

[tawny violet]

It should be fine

[severe matrix]

rlly i heard it burns

cards

[tawny violet]

9070 XT doesn't draw so much power to be at risk

You'd have to go to like 400w power draw for that

[severe matrix]

i see

[tawny violet]

5080/4090/5090 territory

[severe matrix]

ok that’s good

i thought this card didn’t have it someone told me

but o well

[tawny violet]

Okay for 12v-2×6

It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use single 8pin for each slot on the adapter

No daisy chains there @severe matrix

And I mean like

[mossy venture]

The single ones idt are pcie

[tawny violet]

Don't plug one PSU cable into 2 slots on the adapter

[tawny violet]

Ye that's what I wanted to clear up

[mossy venture]

Those should be cpu

[tawny violet]

Cuz EPS and PCIE cables look similar

[mossy venture]

Send a picture of the cables

[tawny violet]

Similar but they're not interchangeable

^^^

[severe matrix]

1 sec i lost the adapter

tryna find it

lol

adap te r on left, wit cables i have on right

so say it again

no daisy chains?

[tawny violet]

Wait you have a native port lol

[severe matrix]

i lied this one

[severe matrix]

wut dat

[tawny violet]

There's a 12VHPWR port on your PSU right?

And a cable that had two ends that look like your adapter?

That's a native cable for the standard

[tawny violet]

@severe matrix use your native 12VHPWR

Yep that's the 12VHPWR

Look for a cable in the PSU box that has 12VHPWR written on it

[severe matrix]

this one right?

[tawny violet]

Yup, use that

[severe matrix]

say less

[tawny violet]

Does away with the whole adapter thing

[severe matrix]

hopefully my house don’t blow up

ahh i see

so why did they even give me that

if it’s worsen

worse

[tawny violet]

It shouldn't (Nothing I say is legal advice and I'm not held liable for any damages done to your hardware or home)

[severe matrix]

lol

[mossy venture]

Did the psu or gpu come with the adapter?

[tawny violet]

It's for those who don't have a baller PSU like you do

[mossy venture]

If the gpu, it's because not all psus have the 600w cable natively

[severe matrix]

also the port on the gpu is 12 2x6 whatever, is that backwards compatible with my PSU 12vhpwr cable?

[mossy venture]

If its with the psu, idk that's weird

[tawny violet]

The GPU has an adapter, but the PSU has native

[severe matrix]

damn ok i’m set then

was with gpu yeah not psu

[tawny violet]

Core Reactor II ATX3.0

[severe matrix]

yep

[tawny violet]

Ye it's basically the same thing

[severe matrix]

should i have gotten a 12 2x6 psu?

oh i see

[tawny violet]

12 2×6 is a revision of the 12VHPWR

It's backwards compatible

[severe matrix]

ah i see ty

it’s not necessarily that much better right?

just like more protections in it?

[tawny violet]

I'mma be honest

The entire spec is fundamentally bad

[severe matrix]

12 2x6?

[tawny violet]

But that badness only shows if you draw stupid power over it

[severe matrix]

or both in general like having only one cable for power

Like what is even the reason they made 12vhpwr

[tawny violet]

It's drawing a lot of power through very few thin pins

[severe matrix]

if it fails more often

[mossy venture]

9070xt shouldn't be an issue

[tawny violet]

Someone with green branding spent a lot of money on it

[severe matrix]

So we trolling for content then

[tawny violet]

I'm not naming names

[mossy venture]

Its a 350w gpu, and it also has a safety feature so if it does die it's easily repairable

[severe matrix]

Gotchu

[mossy venture]

And warranty ofc covers it

[tawny violet]

You're personally fine
But 12V-2×6 is a fundamentally stupid standard

[mossy venture]

Its still not as good as just implementing load balancing

[severe matrix]

Ok and for full safety, i should hella push it the 12vhpwr right, i’ve seen horror stories and it’s because they weren’t fully seated then?

[tawny violet]

Trying to reinvent the wheel and accidentally making it square

[mossy venture]

Basically it'll commit die if it tries to pull too much wattage from one or two parts of the cable

[severe matrix]

😭

[mossy venture]

It should be as easy as making it draw power easily, but neither amd or nvidia did

I also am not an engineer so yknow

[severe matrix]

this right?

[mossy venture]

Take this with a grain of salt

[tawny violet]

You're unlikely to end up having your card melted

[mossy venture]

I mean you can see if its in fully

[severe matrix]

i’ll take that grain and put it on a podium sire

[tawny violet]

But other people got screwed before

[mossy venture]

As long as it's flush with the gpu you're good

[tawny violet]

What Bacca said

[mossy venture]

Send a picture of it top down once you insert it

[tawny violet]

Make sure it clicks in and the square part of the connector is flush with the GPU

Then ur good

[severe matrix]

got it tysm guys for providing me with the astronomically beneficial advice to not blow up my $3000+ computer 😁

i’ll pass down your legacies to future students

and info

[severe matrix]

gotchu

[mossy venture]

Lolol most of what i know I've been told by other people here

[severe matrix]

The ancestry runs deep

[tawny violet]

It'd suck if we gave you advice that caused you to blow up your stuff

Like it'd reflect bad on us lmao

[severe matrix]

lmao

[severe matrix]

this is good right ? won’t burn don’t my house?

just finished settin everyting up

[analog hearth]

Yeah looks good

[severe matrix]

noice

[severe matrix]

my gpu fans aint spinning tho under 80% utilization

any reason why?

well

its 53 degrees celcius

so pretty low, is that why?

[stoic island]

Fan curves are generally based off temperature

[severe matrix]

got it tysm

[analog hearth]

Yes

Also use FanControl to adjust your fan curve

[severe matrix]

got it ty

[broken barn]

@analog hearth

yo motor

are u free rn

[analog hearth]

Cooking

[broken barn]

i hope yo cookin goes good gangy

@tawny violet are u free rn

[analog hearth]

It will be exquisite 🤌

[mossy venture]

W build

[analog hearth]

Thanks

[lone flame]

chicken and mac is elite dinner

[teal dome]

whats a good 1440p card i could upgrade to from 3070? or do i even need to upgrade if most i do is watch videos and play games like league and hsr? my 1080p looks so bad rn so maybe might get a 1440p monitor

[lone flame]

if you run everything you do fine on your 3070 no need to upgrade

1440p would push your 3070 harder likely yes

[teal dome]

so i can just get a 1440p monitor and im fine right? what abt games like fortnite, i can just put the quality down to 1080p and it would be fine right?

[lone flame]

if you make the jump to 1440p and notice you can't turn settings up without big performance drops maybe look into a new gpu yes

gpu market is still messy but if you live near a microcenter and can still find one at msrp, 9070 XT would be a big boost

[teal dome]

i live like 1k miles off the nearest microcenter

[teal dome]

whats the msrp

[lone flame]

msrp of the non XT 9070 is 549 USD, for 9070 XT it is 599

[teal dome]

alright, thank you

[lone flame]

I would read reviews and stuff and look around more, used market is always a thing if thats an option for you

quite a few options to upgrade from a 3070

[teal dome]

ill see but the 9070 and the 9070xt is overkill for me

[lone flame]

overkill as in like price

or pure performance

[teal dome]

as in performance, since i dont usually 100% my 3070 rn because of the games i play lol

its moslty just wanting a better picture quality

[lone flame]

ah gotcha

well in that case id make the jump to a solid 1440p and see how things go

if you have to upgrade, upgrade

[teal dome]

makes sense, thank you

[lone flame]

3070 should be fairly solid for 1440p iirc im not super familar with mid range 30 series

[tall shard]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZKCnNz ?

good

[weary galleon]

Swap ram, vengeance is bottom of the barrel

[drifting pebble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RMfgC8

Good?

[weary galleon]

I wouldn't call a $400 b580 good

[zenith cargo]

should I upgrade to am5 and get the r7 9800x3d since 9070s are sold out everywhere future proof cpu as well as ram (I own a 6900xt)

real

[undone dew]

thats what im doing is trying to future proof my CPU, currently have a 5800x. gotta get new mobo ram and cooler to go with the cpu, thankfully i bought a 9800x3d at MSRP

[tawny violet]

You could've just gotten a 5700X3D and get like 99% of the benefits ngl

But if you already have the CPU, might as well

Cooler is not that big of a deal iirc

[undone dew]

Yea true but i did already get the cpu sooooo now im just waiting for mobo ram and cooler lol. Basically building a new pc and I hate it

Thankfully my GPU is already future proofed

[dusky hearth]

"future proofed"

[jagged ember]

New gpu releases in 2 years

[tawny violet]

That's a forbidden word here

[dusky hearth]

maybe it's future proof if you're like 80 years old

[jagged ember]

I think you have a good chance to get to 82

[dusky hearth]

wouldnt need an upgrade for the rest of your life

[jagged ember]

Maybe if you were 90

[tawny violet]

Rumor has it that if you say that particular F-word into a mirror 5 times after 8pm a wild Felix will appear and steal your GPU

(For the record this should entirely be taken as a joke without any seriousness behind it)

[dusky hearth]

no this is real

[tawny violet]

@cyan ravine can you confirm if this is actually real?

[cyan ravine]

It is if you ping me

[tawny violet]

Lmao

Forgot about the ping yes

[rain carbon]

felix is going to future proof you

[rare plover]

Hi guys, im planning to build my first pc soon and i wanted to ask if this is an ok build

[tawny violet]

I'd skip the 8700G and get a 7700

Go with a B650 or B650E motherboard, they're cheaper for the same or more features

Memory should be 6000 CL30 to guarantee Hynix dies

[rare plover]

They dont have 7700 but they have 9700

[tawny violet]

PSU is an unknown to me
Case is weird

[tawny violet]

Get a 7600 then

8700G is meant to be used without a dedicated GPU

PCIE is cut down a lot

[rare plover]

Ik but they dont have that

[tawny violet]

Do they not have a 7600? Or a 7600X?

[rare plover]

no

[tawny violet]

I'd recommend finding a better store then to be entirely honest

Like no offense, I know what it's like to have to make due with what you can get

But I'm almost sure there's a better option

[rare plover]

Another place has a 7700x

[tawny violet]

That's just fine

It all depends on pricing to be clear

But the 7700X tends to be cheaper than the 8700G

And have better PCIE and so on

[rare plover]

8700g is cheaper here idk why

[tawny violet]

What's the difference?

Is it like 20-30% cheaper?

And I'm assuming this is a new build, you don't have any of the parts yet?

[rare plover]

Like 30 dollars

[rare plover]

No i dont have the parts

[tawny violet]

Okay what do you have on hand right now?

[rare plover]

nothing really

just planning rn

[tawny violet]

So it IS a new build then

[rare plover]

yes

[tawny violet]

Alright then

[rare plover]

Wait i meant no for the other thing

Sorry

[tawny violet]

What's your budget?
Do you need peripherals too? (Monitor, mouse, keyboard and so on)
Do you have any particular things you know will do on the PC?

[tawny violet]

For what?

Do you have any parts already?

[rare plover]

No

[tawny violet]

Alright

So you're starting from scratch then

We can work with this

I'm assuming you want to play games right?

[rare plover]

Mostly gaming but schoolwork too

[rare plover]

Yes

[tawny violet]

Any 3d modeling in that schoolwork?

[rare plover]

no

[tawny violet]

Awesome

Then do you mind going all AMD?

I don't think you do considering you were already gonna

Just want to confirm

[rare plover]

I prefer

[tawny violet]

I mean that's completely fair, it's the value option rn

What resolution are you gonna play at?

[rare plover]

1440p

[tawny violet]

Aite that's respectable

What's your budget?

Preferably both in your own currency and converted to USD

[rare plover]

around 6k local currency for the build, but thats probably less in usd since tax and whatever

[tawny violet]

I believe you're from Israel?

[rare plover]

yea

[tawny violet]

Alright I don't really know the market there

[rare plover]

i am using ksp currently

[tawny violet]

But we can work with this

What's the tax rate?

[rare plover]

17% I think

[tawny violet]

Aite

[rare plover]

i was told to take gold for the psu

and thought of saving a bit with storage and ram, since i can buy more later?

[tawny violet]

That's about 1400 USD (with the reduction for taxes)

[rare plover]

yea

[tawny violet]

Aite I think we can make it work

I'd think a 7600X, the cheapest 2×16gb kit of DDR5-6000 CL30, B650 motherboard and a 7800 XT

That's probably a good place to start

[rare plover]

ryzen 5?

[tawny violet]

It should leave us with about 300 bucks for a power supply, storage and other stuff

[tawny violet]

Perfectly capable for your use case

Exact chip I have

It's a rocketship in games

[rare plover]

neat

[tawny violet]

You can also try to get a 7500F (which is pretty much the same CPU without the integrated GPU cores for cheaper)

[rare plover]

alr

[tawny violet]

If you can get a good price on one it's a good way to minmax budget

[rare plover]

which one is that

[tawny violet]

Ryzen 5 7500f

[rare plover]

intel also works for the cpu, but i would like an amd gpu

[tawny violet]

Interesting pick

Respectable

I'd like to make AM5 work for you tho

[rare plover]

the nitro + tho?

[tawny violet]

You can just drop in an X3D chip later and get massive gains

[tawny violet]

Don't go there

Waste of money on a 7800XT

Absolutely cheapest 7800XT is gonna give you the same performance

[rare plover]

what about a 7700 xt nitro

[tawny violet]

Even worse

[rare plover]

the one with 2 fans?

?

[tawny violet]

That's perfectly fine

Pulse is good

[rare plover]

ok

[tawny violet]

Doesn't have to be Sapphire tho

XFX, Powercolor, ASRock and Gigabyte all make 7800XTs

[rare plover]

ik

[tawny violet]

Lmk which model is the cheapest

Like there lol

Should've clarified

I've had a 10 hour shift at work and then drama at home I'm really not at my A-game rn

[rare plover]

i will take sapphire

[tawny violet]

Just lmk which is the cheapest

We'll work our way up from the cheapest parts to more expensive ones

I'd like to fit a 7900XT in for you

But we need to know what's possible

[rare plover]

theres an acer nitro one but i dont know that site

[tawny violet]

So just add THE absolute cheapest 7800XT to your list along with the other parts I said

And see where it lands us with price

[rare plover]

alr

[tawny violet]

.

We'll adjust from here once I have a picture with pricing

[tawny violet]

960+2480+745+579

4770

Rounding up for the sake of safety

Leaves us with right about 20% of the budget for a case, power supply and SSD

Sadly I don't know what PSUs are available for a solid price there that's legitimately good

But a PSU being "gold" in itself doesn't mean anything

@rare plover there's an Excel spreadsheet linked somewhere in the server with a PSU tier list

Lemme find it for you one sec

Once I found it
Look for 750 watt Tier A units in the list and find the cheapest, add to the list

Here it is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc

Find whichever 750w Tier A is cheapest for you and add that to the list

Then all you need to do is find an ATX case that has entire front mesh and at least 3 fans
And you're peachy

[rare plover]

is b tier okay

[tawny violet]

I'd prefer A tier but that's just me

[rare plover]

alr

[tawny violet]

It's a potential compromise we can make later if need be

We're like ultra minmaxing it for you lol

[rare plover]

ok i found one

[rare plover]

is the sharkoon one i found not good?

also what about a cpu cooler

[tawny violet]

It's sub-optimal

[tawny violet]

Cheapest dual tower aircooler basically

You CAN get away with a single tower one

That's what I have after all

But having some extra capacity don't hurt

[rare plover]

alr

[rare plover]

what about this msi case

MSI MPG GUNGNIR 300P AIRFLOW Mid Tower

[tawny violet]

Hard no

Overpriced and not even front mesh

[rare plover]

oh right

[tawny violet]

That's not an "airflow" case lmao

Try Montech

[rare plover]

angy case

[tawny violet]

Air X is surprisingly good

The one with three 140mm ARGB fans is even better

Though you did pick an mATX board

I'd recommend ATX cuz you have more expansion

Also fills the case out nicer

[tawny violet]

Air 903 Max

[rare plover]

uhhhh

[tawny violet]

Corsair?

4000D should be available

Though it's bound to be overpriced

IDK I'm not an expert on good cases

Felix or Bacca might be able to help you out on that front better

[rare plover]

are fishtanks ok or whatever its called

like

side panel is glass and a bit of the front panel is also glass

[tawny violet]

Could be

Expensive tho

Tempered glass costs a lot to make

[rare plover]

i'll take the sharkoon one

[tawny violet]

I really wouldn't

It's frankly
Pretty bad

[rare plover]

the company in general or the case i picked out?

[weary galleon]

In theory you get more air turbulence inside because the air enters and exits at a 90° angle instead of flowing straight through. I don't think it's that big of a deal though

[tawny violet]

Got any decent budget cases with fans?

Montech is not an option cuz Israel doesn't get them

[weary galleon]

Fishtank or just any?

[rare plover]

is the Antec A30 NEO PWM ok for the cpu?

[tawny violet]

Any really

Should have fans tho

[tawny violet]

Acceptable
Better options for cheaper exist tho

[rare plover]

ok

[weary galleon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WPnXsY/cooler-master-elite-301-microatx-mid-tower-case-e301-kgnn-s00

[tawny violet]

Cooler Master Elite 301 has to be available

[weary galleon]

Or just get a case without fans and add a $13 3pk of thermalright c12c

[tawny violet]

That could work but I dunno if Thermalright is a thing there

So I'm trying to steer clear of unknowns

[rare plover]

wait

is corsair 4000d okay

[tawny violet]

It's fine but expensive

And doesn't come with any fans

I mean
It TECHNICALLY does have 2

[rare plover]

120 usd

[tawny violet]

But like they meh

[tawny violet]

Yeah no you don't have the budget to spare ngl

1400 USD 1440p rig isn't where I'd go 4000D

You CAN

It is an option

But like

[rare plover]

antec fridge case?

[tawny violet]

It'd swallow most of your remaining budget

[tawny violet]

Ewwwww no

[rare plover]

yea its weird

also is that a cd slot

[tawny violet]

Thermal throttling here we come

But yes

CM 301 Elite is a good pick

[rare plover]

what about this corsair one

[tawny violet]

That's just the new 4000D

Costs even more

[rare plover]

its 3000

3000d

96 usd

[tawny violet]

Still expensive cuz only 2 fans

It could work but

It'd be wacky

If you're okay with having only two intake fans, it's fine enough

[rare plover]

i have a fan from my uncles old pc it just sat in my drawer for like 3 years

[tawny violet]

Can always buy more fans later

[rare plover]

and a ddr 3 ram stick lol

[tawny violet]

Lmao

Treasure trove

Anyhow

3000D is a sort of safe bet

I'd still check for the Elite 301

That's much better value

[rare plover]

alr

[tawny violet]

Leaves us wiggle room on the storage and CPU cooler

30 dollar equivalent dual tower aircooler would be perfection

[rare plover]

alr

[tawny violet]

Then we see what we have left

We might have to cut down to 512 gigs of NVME for starters
And upgrade later

We'll see how everything pans out together

[rare plover]

i have an nvme i took from my laptop that broke down

[tawny violet]

This is CPU, motherboard, memory and GPU
You have storage already
So that leaves cooler, case and PSU

Did you figure out what's the cheapest 750w A tier unit you can get?

That's what you want

[rare plover]

i found an antec one rated b, didnt find any a tier

[tawny violet]

We'll take it for now

How much is it in shekels?

[rare plover]

415

[tawny violet]

4770+415

5185

Just about 800 shekels for case and cooler

[rare plover]

the 3000d is 350 nis i can get that

[tawny violet]

That's kind of reasonable ngl

That's easy with the cooler

[rare plover]

i can buy some stuff in eilat

theres no tax there for some reason

[tawny violet]

Alright that's not the direction I thought things would take but

That's fine

Take that 3000D, and try to find a dual tower cooler that's within the budget

[rare plover]

stuff i can find in stores, not that i have to pre order there and pick up*

[tawny violet]

And you have your rig

You'd have to assemble of course but Linus has the guide for it

[rare plover]

i need thermal paste too right

[tawny violet]

It comes with the cooler

[rare plover]

oh

[tawny violet]

If it's brand new and I assume you do all new parts

Then paste comes with the cooler

Technically

[rare plover]

ok

[tawny violet]

You COULD go AIO and use it as the intske

But like

7600X and AIO feels wasteful

[rare plover]

gonna make a table now and go eep

[tawny violet]

Fair
I should do the same anyways

[rare plover]

would only ddr5 ram work with a ddr5 mb?

[stoic island]

Yes, they're not backwards compatible, ddr5 is physically different from ddr4

[rare plover]

ah

we forgot the ssd btw but gn

[dusky hearth]

every ram generation so far (at least since SD ram, that's as far back as i know) is not forwards nor backwards compatible
though you can adapt SODIMM ddr5 to (U)DIMM ddr5 (as well as the previous generations)

[rare plover]

alr thanks guys

[zenith cargo]

so r5 5600x3d to a 9800x3d isn't worth it?

I can get it at msrp, there's plenty in stock at mc

oh wait they're in stock at newegg and best buy

💀

[gentle pollen]

I am on a MSI X670-P WiFi board. Once my board stops flashing from using the Flash Bios button do I just restart it with peripherals plugged in?

[mossy venture]

Its like a 35-40% difference i think

[vague oracle]

Anyone have any clue why my screen keeps flashing black every few seconds? Already DDU'ed and installed new drivers

Fresh build

[stoic island]

What GPU? Chances are you need to use an older driver if you're on Nvidia rn

But flashing black every few seconds also sounds like something might be weird with the cable

[vague oracle]

Nvm it's the monitor being funny, tried it on a different monitor and it's working fine

But yeah its a 4090

[zenith cargo]

so yes then?

[weary galleon]

35-40% difference **if you're fully cpu bound

What gpu do you have?

Also not sure if 5600x3d to 9800x3d would be quite that much even. Base 5000 series to 9000x3d maybe.

[zenith cargo]

I game at 1440p with a 6900xt

[weary galleon]

You might see a boost in games that are lighter on the gpu but I wouldn't expect a jump in everything

[zenith cargo]

Will I see a boost in overall pc performance

like everyday tasks or will it remain the same?

[mossy venture]

Wdym by every day tasks

Heavy workloads yes

But regular pc usage probably not

[rain carbon]

basically that performance only means anything if theres stuff that already doesnt go smooth for you or needs an extra edge, if theres nothing you can even pinpoint lacking in perf it probs isnt worth lol

because you'll be paying much more that just a new chip, youre paying for a new platform obv

[severe matrix]

is it safe to use electronic air dusters to clean my pc/gpu? anything i should know?
