I am waiting for this to come out first before i get any M.2
Wtf is that
Water cooling heatsinks for M.2's
Wow
but every 6 months you have to change the water
That seems... Excessive
Well most M.2's when using it on a load can get as hot as 70c
M.2 doesn't need external coolig if you have good case ventilation
The farthest I would ever go for cooling would be to enclose my GPU
with that they claim you would get at least a minimum of 45c on load
And I already feel liquid cooling the GPU is extra
There is a liquid cooling solution i wanted to do with my GPU
I've been running air cooling on my CPU for the last ten years and it is still going strong. Granted it doesn't get to 70c but it gets warm and it has yet to have a problem.
Yes, my rig is almost ten years old.
And it's only now starting to struggle.
That's what I'm trying to do with my computer now
Upgrade it to bleeding edge this year, then never touch it
Maybe change the case every few years
I try to do that about every ten years. Not quite bleeding edge but upper mid range parts.
With some minor upgrades eery 3 years or so
@deft python I was thinking of getting this https://www.newegg.com/p/37B-003S-00004
Question, what's yall's take on the Z390 series of motherboards?
Not worth is since LGA 1200 might be coming soon
"might"?
There is already talk about Comet Lake and the LGA 1200 boards
You going for a white build, @latent bronze ?
This is my system
Is that a mid tower?
yes
Link?
I wish my system glows like that. My LL 140s aren't lighting up properly
RGB settings aren't synching properly, and I'm pretty sure the hardware works
my RGB lights are spinning so it is hard to get a photo in sync
the back of that case is the exhaust vents and the storage
if you look at the images the top left in the back is where you can mount a 3.5" and 2.5" drive
also it does come with those 4 RGB fans
the design for the front as well is not an image it is actual grooves
It is not bad but i don't like having tempered glass in the front
besides having just the 4 fans i am getting better cooling than my old case that was using 6 fans
It's all about flow man
my side is tempered glass but i like the way it is
Oh the one i was using before has great airflow but more if your system is not using parts that doesn't get hot too quick
My case is so old it still uses perforated aluminum for the sidewall so I actually have an exhaust fan on the side of the tower mounted to that wall.
And I'm using a blue neon tube instead of RGB so that tells you how long it's been
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811853064 this is my old case
oh ya and my case came with a cleaning cloth for the glass lol
The thing is there are cases that can cost a lot less and look more plain looking that can do so much better
@deft python The one thing i learned from a lot of video's is that looks are not always everything cause while yes i do like the look of the case i bought it could maybe give a lot better cooling than your 200$+ case and there are video's out there where people would compare something that is 60$ to something that is 200$ and the 60$ is only like 1c to 3c more in temps
So if you spend like 150$ to 200$ for a case just to get 3c less that is not worth it in my book
My system died... Mobo and. CPU were fried... Wondering if this is a decent budget setup to get back running
I had an i7-6700K and a ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Extreme before.... With a block CPU cooler.
What died? The build as pictured is decent for general use gaming but if you're open to suggestions I'd be happy to help.
@little osprey look into b450 board and ryzen 3600, also the stock cooler works fine
My MOBO and CPU shorted out
I mean i already ordered this stuff... But I can cancel. I have under 350 to spend
I'm not on desktop rgith now so @little osprey halp
Im on mobile too. But if im gonna cancel i need to do so soon..
Ya, I would recommend cancelling those parts.
A 6700k and M8E is a pretty high end setup, but a Ryzen 3600 and some x570 that I'll recommend should be a good fit given budget
Okay I cancelled
I need a cooler tho too
CoolerMaster EVO212 is too bulky and ugly and i dont havd the AM4 adapter
The one i have still i mean
Do you have a list of your previous build on hand? If not, what RAM , GPU, PSU?
Id prefer liquid cooled AIO but budget I understand
Yes
AIO vs high end air cooler is a personal preference IMO.
I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 980ti FTW Edition, Corsair 750D case, Corsair RM750x PSU and 2400MHz Corsair LPX DDR4 RAM, two EVO 850 SSDs and 1 WD Black HD
Thats everything I have sitting here in the case waiting for my MOBO and CPU
Recycling the ram will be fine for a 3600+new mobo, I use this search to see what's currently on discount for 3600+ X https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCombos?Item=19-113-569&SubCategory=343&SortField=0&PageSize=10&page=1
$60-$120 for a new 2x8 DDR4 kit in the future would be a nice upgrade , but not critical to gaming.
A 3600 is gonna be 200 alone
Hey all! I have a question about a 3d animation computer build im doing!
I'm wondering if this case, the Node 202, can support these assets
This is the case I'm asking about specifically, I'm wondering if all these parts will fit into it. Do you all know?
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition AM4
Motherboard ASUS Prime X570-P ATX AM4
Graphics Card NVIDIA RTX 2060 6GB - MSI Gaming
Memory (RAM) 16GB (2 x 8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 CL16
PCIe-SSD Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 500GB M.2 Solid State Drive
Power Supply Corsair CX Series CX550 550W ATX 2.4
@little osprey Ya, you're looking for a mobo + 3600 for <$350 right?
Yeah
@little osprey
This is the best future-proof option IMO, that board can handle a 3900x/3950x.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.3930517
It's over-budget, as asrock board combo may be a better fit, I'll continue looking
OOS
Im not looking to future proof. Im looking to manage for a few months or so until i can upgrade further. I just went with a 2600 and an MSI Gaming Plus B450M MOBO will just use the cooler that comes with the chip
I mainly recommend the 3600 vs 2600x, both stock coolers are decent.
There are usually great x570+3600 combo deals with $30+ discounts, unfortunately I can't find anything great today.
With the 2600 Ryzen 5 will do me just fine
All this is is trying to replace my broken system. Im not trying to get the best machine out there. I mean realistically I had like 300 bux lol my last mobo shorted unexpectedly
It will, also the b450m gaming plus is a good pick for a 3600 as well, I didn't realize that was what was in the amazon order.
So this is an upgrade from what i got
I thought i got the B450M but I got the X470
Or upgrade from what i had
Both are fine for any 2xxx and as well as a 3600 - or higher if needed
Coming from an i7 6700k M8E setup to this... Is an upgrade still in my eyes
I couldnt get that system to run stable
Haha sorry if I over complicated things a bit. I mainly wanted to advocate for 3600 vs 2600x, but if you just want something temporary, it's not bad.
6700k or similar vs 3600 for gaming is a hot debate, what games do you play
Its fine. Trust me I know the 3600 is a way better option. But with my budget.... This is the best for my money
what budget?
for which parts?
MOBO and CPU
PUBG you would want the 3600 instead
ic
Let me know if you're interested in troubleshooting the 6700k M8E stuff some time
live near a microcenter?
Oh ive troubleshooted it all
I daily'd a 7700k for a long time, played pubg etc 6700k is very similar
Its stuck i cant get it to boot at all
Im not trying to play on high settings either... Im not a HUGE gamer.
This is a budget system for me to upgrade along the way
And it came with a $650 GPU alone
@little osprey language
You got the 6700k+m8E for that?
Sorry
Yeah
I traded that laptop for the 6700k and the m8e
Ah ya, no worries - general rule is to just keep it PG-13
That's an amazing deal
But like ive said.... Ive had crashing issues with it since i traded
Then last week it crashed and wouldnt come back. Ive replaced all the RAM and the PSU
So with this ill have a completely new system
Makes sense, ya
Yeah.
I appreciate your advice tho
Haha, I get a little too invested in min/max'ing build options for other.
The more I know about their preferences / use cases, the easier it is to give a recommendation.
The 3600 is just an amazing chip for $200.
@little osprey If you feel like swearing you can say something like holy cow
Im an adult. Im sorry your virgin ears cant handle adult language. I apologized.
But frankly, ill say what i want and if profanity slips im sorry. Kick me.
We're all adults here but there is rules here and i tend to follow it
Well besides zack that i know of so far
@sleek mist did you finish your build??
can someone help me out picking a Ryzen 3000 mobo?
the b450 tomahawk needs the bios update and tho it looks pretty simple ive seen lots of ppl say it didnt work for them and i dokt know too much about computers so idk if i wanna take that risk
and idk when the Max is coming out
no clue lol
i dont keep eyes on rumors and new products like that
i shouldnt be techie lol
i do research after they come out
Which Ryzen 3000?
oh i can still help lol
but pretty much any x570 motherboard is good
i have heard an ASUS TUF board caught fire and the MSI boards have bios issues tho
so maybe a gigabyte board?
Well you heard one board caught on fire
and without video proof of what the person was doing you have no idea how it happened
im currently thinking of just waiting on the max bc ive heard the tomahawk is very solid, just doesn’t have the bios
@olive sundial Go for the ASRock Steel Legend
the x570?
ASRock right now is one of the best companies out there and yes they have for the X570
Why steel legend vs the TUF or Aorus elite?
edit: For a 3600 you don't need the VRM on the elite, can go cheaper
🤔
because i am guess you had a single bad experience?
u also will never buy amd
thats ghey then
but whateverrrr
i dont like nvidia but i have a 1070ti
@latent bronze Which asrock boards have you used?
i cant say the same about theo tho 👀
ill probably go a x570 or wait on max see if the max is cheaper than 570s
yall get on my level i have intel, amd, and nvidia in my build
I have used a few older one's pretty much during my Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and i core series
days
never had issues with ASRock once but i have had some issues with MSI and Gigabyte
thanks to all of u who helped me out
ayy somebody else had a core 2 duo
I had an E8400, still have it
I have Intel CPU and SSD
Nachos i still have my Pentium III machine
AMD GPU
im almost done with my first ever pc just need my mobo and and gpu
Core 2 quads are really cool
and yes it still works
lol well my first gaming rig was an actula 486 dx2 66 so....yeah been through a few of them
C2Q i went for the Q8400
I didn't want to be like everyone else i knew going for the Q6600
heh heh
Chrome my first "gaming" PC was a Tandy
TRS 80 or 1000
do u guys suggest i go with like a sub $300 gpu like a 1660 or 580 or should i save a lil more and get a 5700
5700 all the way
I had to use this format to play games because most Tandy machines didn't have hard drive https://360view.hum3d.com/zoom/Tools/Floppy_Disk_8_inch_1000_0001.jpg
All games loaded using DOS commands
Were people bandwagon-ey over the q6600?
yeah been there had an atari 800 that i hadd the add ondrive was ammusing.
@little osprey that what?
580 not a bad card at all
i was thinking going a lil cheaper then upgrading in the future to a really nice card
Also i am referring to the 8gb model as well
i was thinking waiting a year or 2 for ray tracing it looks so nice
an RX 580 you can still play most games on very high to ultra settings depending on the game
AMD is making hybrid ray tracing
@olive sundial do you live near a microcenter?
no 😓 i wish i could just get my b450 flashed there
yeah i was gonna say that
You can contact AMD to send you an update processor so you can update the bios
they also have the mobo deals 😭 wish mine wasnt 3 hours away
What board?
just you have to send it back after you flash it
is it easier if u do it with a cpu? like 100% guaranteed to work?
cuz the flashbutton doesnt seem that hard really just heard alot of ppl say it doesnt work for them
You need a CPU in the board to update the bios
are you talking about the usb flash @olive sundial ?
Unreliability in this case will come from the user
yea with the usb flash it seems easy but ppl have said its uncertain if actually work idk
Think of this ok without a brain the body can not start so if the motherboard doesn't have the CPU it wont really start
"bios flashback" just means the board can be updated with no cpu
yea exactly
u just put the psu then download the currenr bios on a usb and plug it in and hit the button
I would go the safe route contact AMD for a CPU to update the bios and that is it
I'd think flashback would be more reliable than the traditional update methods
only some boards have usb flash tho
the tomahawk has it
ahh yes that good old vrm list
what is that
I love/hate tier lists including that one but I posted it because the right-most column shows bios flashback capability
it shows you which are the best boards for certain cpu's
so yea the tomahawk would be perfect just dont know about the bios update
id go with a x570 but im tryna spend about $150 the tomahawk at $110 is perfect
If you like asrock and also want/need itx https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.3931180
The reason for the ASRock i was showing as well is excellent cooling for the M.2 drives
most of the top tier 200$ and up boards tends to have that
But ya, the tomahawk is definitely one of the crowd favorites for the 3600, not sure when the MAX boards come out
mainly has a air chamber casing around the M.2 while a fan blows cold air inside to cool them
Have you had m.2 thermal throttling issues before?
apparently the max is out literally everywhere except the us and there’s no release date
When used on load and this is a lot of people that has talked about it on multiple forms stating that it gets as high as 70c
so really this is why there are heatsinks and why Team Group made a water cool heatsink solution
And just in case they did show them off in like June
Which m.2 drive? I don't disagree, it's more of a drive/use case thing than a blanket rule that m.2's usually need coolers.
Most that people were talking about were the Samsung NVMe's
For example 960 evo's when used for writing 30GB in one sitting at max sequential speed.
The main one's that was talked about was Samsung, Corsair and Curcial
i had an adata for a week and it suddenly stopped botting it was techinclaly faster than what i replaced it with but the 970 evo has not even blinked since i installed it.
I know other companies like Team and WD can get very hot as well which is they there are these solutions to cool them down
There are some here that has heatsinks applies on them already and some of the companies i haven't heard of but i would be willing to try them out https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100011693 601193224&srchInDesc=heatsink&Order=PRICE
@sweet charm yeah this is the finished one, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BKtpxG
Do I need to upgrade the power supply
Ya, you can get m.2 22.80 heat sinks for $5 each or something,
Anyway, I meant to say that one probably shouldn't prioritize m.2 cooling over at least a few other features for motherboard choice.
650+ is always recommended... a 750w is even better
The 750 P2 has an annoying fan curve profile but is otherwise a good PSU.
What should i change to then
There is a lot of other features the board can do i am just pointing one of the good benefits to that
@little osprey I am also willing to try this one out https://www.newegg.com/plextor-m9pe-256gb/p/N82E16820249109
The specs are nice and it does have an included heatsink in it and would give my opinion when using it
Seems a bit pricey for what it is. What's your intended use?
I am using a 240gb 2.5" SSD right now for my OS and i still have about 160gb free
i have a 256gb ssd in my laptop, and i have a ton of stuff on it
I also have a 1tb SSD for my games as well
I don't use much space for my OS drive either, but it's more cost effective to get a larger drive and put some/all games on it anyway.
Sure, there are use cases where it's better to split up programs/files for better I/O and bandwidth.
If i put a game i am only going to put Division 2
Also as much as i like Intel i am not mixing it in my AMD system
Plenty of other options. HP ex 920, spg 8200, wd black, inland NVME drives, anything samsung etc
Hello
hi
Use pcpartpicker instead
id go for the 3700x
instead of the 3800x
cheaper without sacrificing much performance
okay
and also i would get windows off of ebay but you didnt hear that from me 😉
It asks me to log in when i clicked on it which i don't have a US account
rip
@turbid walrus don't be that man then?
I mean im not being that man
as for the power supply, 80+ gold is fine but thats a good price for whats you have on that list
GPU i would go for something like the EVGA
What gpu?
asus is a good brand
yes but for Nvidia cards i learned that EVGA tends to be better
Look at reviews / the community consensus on a model specific basis
@sullen briar replace the monitor as well since you wont get FreeSync
Temps, noise, size, reliability, and looks (subjective) are my main points imo
Asus, EVGA, Corsair, even seasonic all make both great and notoriously bad products.
I was actually gonna go for the RTX 2070, but lots of the comments were talking about how it sucked after 4 months or so because of artifacts and space invaders etc
i have the exact monitor he picked which only has HDMI and DVI
Alright, so I want a monitor with free sync
I didn't think that the monitor mattered as much
Get a g sync compatible monitor if you want to save
Here let me ask what are the things you plan on doing with your system
I plan on using it for projects involving solidworks and such. I also want to run MHW so it's breathtakingly beautiful.
without sacrificing framerate
The gpu right
the CPU
er my bad yeah
It’s 3700X or 3800X
Do you intend to stream?
No streaming
He does intend on doing projects so using the 3700X would be the better option
It's <5% or something. 3700x is the way to go.
The 2nd one is my PC
oo alright thanks
The first 1 is the upgrade I'll be getting for 500$
@little osprey Would that upgrade be good?
And do I need a better PSU?
depends on what you're upgrading
No, I don't think it would be a good upgrade.
@sullen briar You won't really notice a difference between the 2
@little osprey Would I need a higher wattage PSU?
just in case you didn't know
No, and this sounds familiar. If you didn't like my previous recommendations, you won't like my subsequent ones.
Me? @latent bronze
@little osprey Oh I don't remember your previous ones, could you repeat them?
Sorry 😄
When do you plan to buy/build/upgrade?
Have you bought anything already?
just a little warning when buying a GPU like that off ebay is to read everything because sometimes they have in small text if it was a mining card or not
Yup, got it! @latent bronze 😄
Also mining cards uses a mining bios as well
What is the difference?
you lose performance when gaming
So - I'd recommend recycling the 212 evo, case, and 1TB drive. Then sell everything and buy a Ryzen 3600 build.
If someone is selling a card with a flashed BIOS they need to make that abundantly clear on the ebay listing.
@little osprey Hold on lemme post a picture
That's my CPU cooler, I don't know if it's that one I listed, I just guessed
That is totally different from what you listed
Yeah I had no idea 😅
It's irrelevant since the 3600 comes with a cooler.
How much do you think I could sell my whole system for?
We got it for 600$ 😅
Or maybe like 550$
was it prebuilt
Reason: Bad word usage
What that an image with some naughty words in it?
no.
What's a good brand to keep an eye out for monitors?
it was a sentence with a bad word
poor @next tangle
you could prob sell it for 500 since its used
@sullen briar #old-monitors-and-tv
Same with monitors, don't stick to brand loyalty
@chilly marsh yes very true 😦
Okay
Okay 500$.
I am loyal to LG on monitors but i bought a Samsung instead 😛
Should I work for like an extra 200$?
If you work you might need more than 200$ extra
The FX 6300 system is not worth $500 Maybe$200? It's really just the case, gpu, HDD, Cooler that are worth anything at all.
you would need at least a total of 1000$
for a full build
no..
Well i don't think he wants "decent"
I'm gonna be doing streaming
There's a big jump in the performance / dollar build curve around 600 ish because that means Ryzen 3600 + whatever
Editing
well he can always upgrade down the line if he wants
Stuff like that
i see
you can get a good editing pc for 800 bucks or more
thats about the cheapest
i can stream decently with 130+ frames
and it was only 750 to build
but yE
but what are you streaming is the question
Mainly fortnite
ok we can't be friends anymore LOL
wait we were?
Lmao😂😂😂
i don't know you tell me 
That's messed up
you already did
HB was it you that we were having this talk with him last night?
Yes
He needs the list with the 3 parts again
you can lower it to under 800 and you can stream just fine with 144fps
I have no clue what I’ve done. I’ve literally just put random mess together. I’ve never built a pc before and it shows in this list.
Share a pcpp instead
Ryzen 5 3600, x570 tuf gaming and I believe it was a memory upgrade
@foggy pendant use pcpartpicker instead of images
2x8 3200 memory I believe
Also using a 2060 and going for that elgato is pretty pointless
I'm just going to put together a 700$ build
alright, you can get a better gpu, save money on a case, maybe a better cpu for that price range, and save some money from that psu
thats the main stuff
@next tangle if you can go 800 you can get a better cpu
@latent bronze Not necessarily, depends what he wants to stream from. But I would recommend the updated version of that card.
we can help put a pc part list for you, just name your price
tho im too lazy so ill wait for you guys lma0
I'm gonna stream GPU
@little osprey If he is playing games from like 2015 and below sure he can hit 4K 60 fps with no problem
maybe even 2016 games
I meant the elgato
oh ok
Btw, those the images that were posted was mess from my pc list. I’ve never built before.
well if he plans on doing PC streaming wouldn't that card be pointless?
Get the 2070 its alittle more for a better card, super if you have an extra 50
Or just get the 1660
@latent bronze I didn't know if he had stated whether or not he intends to stream other content.
Who we talking about??😂😂😂
dont rly know
Lmao
@foggy pendant Are you planning on streaming console games?
I think Squeeze's picture vomit
@latent bronze yes
@foggy pendant what's your budget??
And what games are you playing on your console?
doesn't have to be all the games you're playing
I just put random mess together. I can’t really afford $2000 worth. But if I was able to, I plan on streaming Doom, Team Sonic Racing and maybe some PS2 and Wii games.
@chilly marsh and it is a little above 700$ 😂
My suggestion for retro type of consoles is to see if there is a following first before you decide on streaming those
Krayola what is that pcpp
unless they're used
@little osprey If I were to sell my whole PC for 500$ and work up 200$
@latent bronze imma stream the ps2 game rapale bassmaster😂😂😂
@chilly marsh I'm fine with used
@chilly marsh the blacked out prices are from ebay so
Ok, your current FX 6300 is not worth $500. If you find someone to pay that much, it's up to you whether or not you want to rip them off.
@sweet charm i can stream PS2 games as well but if there is no viewers for it then i wont stream is and the main people will watch for retro games are speed runners
@next tangle realistically, if you were selling to someone who knew pc parts, you would prob be getting less than 400 dollars sadly
@latent bronze yea I wanna try speed running super mario 65
prebuilts are like hundreds of dollars more expensive than the parts themselves if YOU bought them are.
64
Is an RTX a good select? Or did I mess up?
@chilly marsh that depends
3 people bought that..
Assume the FX CPU AM3+ mobo and memory will be $<50
there are some that comes close to the actual value of the parts
I think AM3+ used is cheaper than that
That is an optiplex system so there are people that will buy those
@next tangle I sold an old AIO cooled 3770k, 1tb hd, 16 gigs ddr3, twin 680 superclocked singuture build I had for like 450 bucks
stuffs not terrible. I believe it
So, my PC list is garbage? Gosh darn...
@foggy pendant Hey, we're happy to help, this text channel has just been a bit active.
There is more than just you asking for a build and wanting suggestions so
@foggy pendant https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VMn6cY if you are willing to spend a 1000
HB where is his Elgato lol
Lmao
Was just going for pure performance
Since he wanted to edit and stream... hopefully at 1080
I think his budget was closer to 2k
The best parts choices will vary often because of sales etc. That's more of a minor detail though.
@sweet charm Link your 2k build
so 4K30 on SottR then lol
yo
yoyo
I upgraded the build a bit to reach $2k
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nJ9JCb @little osprey
@sweet charm 4k60? what card u have
2080
Not that I'm right 100% of the time, far from it, but it'd save me time lol
ah I see so the ti should be more then fine for the 4k60 i guess
2080 super is a poor value. Go 2070 super or 5700xt nitro etc
I actually liked the $1000 option, not bad.
Hahaha... is good enough to run 1080p60 on most games @foggy pendant
I think it's smart to have a loose budget if you're unsure what parts will give the performance you expect.
For 2k I'd change quite a bit there.
I see seagate
1000W is more than necessary but that itself dosen't make every 1000W+ PSU a poor choice.
I mean in terms of PSU quality its a great psu
Weird it said 850 for me
and plz dont use those 1999 HD even for storage
Is AMD good or bad?
in terms of how much your system actually draws, your looking at 650
For example, if your #1 priority was a near silent PC, getting an AX1200i for an RTX 2070+3700x could be a good idea since the fan might never have to turn on.
complaining about hard platter hard drives
Is that what mine is?
they work fine even today
lol sorry i know everyones budget is different
This is the build i am using now https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nHN6cY
is my hard drive old lol?
theres a bunch of games that arent even big enough to throw on a SSD to make it worth it
they do I still have one from 2007
Most parts on there i have gotten on special
like half my steam library is sitting on a 1.5 TB HD. you dont need SSD's all the time
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qLkJCb full build monitor, keyboard and mouse
I only have one HD in my new build dont have enough to get a second one, hopefully soon
Todays high cache HD's are actually faster than the 10,000 rpm gaming hard drives of old
Only running ssd on my part for os
Here are mine, I need to add peripherals https://pcpartpicker.com/user/UCAUCA/saved/#view=BtxWbv
the 1tb WD black I have benches faster than the old 500 gig velociraptor i still have
HB guess what
What build would be better for streaming Nintendo Switch?
i am going to take a chance with this NVMe https://www.newegg.com/plextor-m9pe-256gb/p/N82E16820249109
Haha I always wanted a velociraptor, does it have the window?
@sleek mist personally I would go with a WD over seagate, but 3tb seagates arent bad at all
Wow its almost 1am already
No, its an old prototype before they went to mass market
I won it free
rediculous considering it was a 350 dollar drive back then
Well i like testing out tech i never heard of before
@latent bronze That's a perfectly good reason then. I only recommended other options for the value conscious
Well the rating seems to look good and has a lot of good reviews
Yikes, now I’m concerned about these parts:
@foggy pendant Go here and make an account instead of uploading pictures for that purpose https://pcpartpicker.com
Back then in 2016 i never heard of Team Group so i tried out their memory and ever since then i have been using them
Your parts/build aren't that bad, we all seem to have some recommendations, but pcpp makes it easier.
never has any issues so far with that company
Team makes some of the best b-die DDR4 sticks, the team dark pro 3200 14 14 14 31 2x8
And hey, it's on sale for $120 https://www.newegg.com/team-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820313712
I have those sticks in my 9900k build
Yikes.
@latent bronze true if you believe and they turn out good keep using them
right now best bang for your buck is a 5700 or 5700xt
Performance alone may not be the only 5700 vs 2060/2070 factor, NVENC, CUDA, and if you really want... RTX may be a certain user's preference
I build as a sidejob Ive been team green for the last 3-4 years. I now am doing 5700 or 5700xt for 1080 and 2k gaming
RTX on a 2060 is useless
I have 2 2080ti ftws with NV link and I still think RTX tech is bull
@shut lance Same here, last AMD card was a 5870 for mining
for gaming performance though ..... at 1080 / 2k I cannot recommend a 2060 or 2070
I agree with all of that @shut lance
So, RTX is garbage?
That's up to you
I have a 2080 ti and I think RTX is useless. I've used it for about 5 minutes. But that's personal preference.
Okay so I want RX 5700?
and I dont recommend spending $400 on a card to play 1080p with
Depends on the game and how competitive, say 240hz, but ya.
@little osprey exactly , gaming move to fast to check out reflections in puddles.
back
Recommend the asus rog for rtx.. it's the quietest one out of them all at temps are only 1⁰C difference
Im playing on my X27 @4k and leave RTX off
@shut lance What's in the rest of your build? Also do you have the 2080 ti ftw3 model?
@shut lancetrue
This was on Newegg’s front page. Is this good?
Yeah 2 x 2080 ti FTW3 ultras, 32gb 3600 corsair dominator RGB and a 9900k delidded @5.2k under water
@foggy pendant Post links, no need to upload pictures for that purpose.
@foggy pendant if your getting the 1660 get the 1660ti
$230 for a 1660 is too much. (non ti)
@foggy pendant what are your goals with the system?
Streaming.
what games?
@shut lance Nice! Custom loop? 3600 XMP rating? or OC
The 1000 build I sent is more than capable or handling that and light editing
I found a 1660 non ti version for $230
I have the non ultra 2080 ti. I want to waterblock it soon, for bench/fun.
Team Sonic Racing, Doom, Tomb Raider, I plan on streaming those.
@little osprey yeah , but its soft tubing, gathering courage for a hardline setup. Bending takes time and patience. Which with a 2 and 5 year old arent my strong suits lol
racing and doom are easy, TR favors nvidia
What do you guys think I need to stream fortnige
1660ti is nice
It doesn't matter whether I pair an AMD CPU with a Nvidia GPU right?
No
@squeez head over to HardOCP forums people are buying/selling all the time. For $250 you can get a sweet card for cheap under factory warranty
It shouldnt unless something is wrong with your parts
Pasting: Performance alone may not be the only 5700 vs 2060/2070 factor, NVENC, CUDA, and if you really want... RTX may be a certain user's preference
But I still need to match the GPU to the monitor depending on whether I want freesync or g-sync though
jay not really
To clarify, NVENC on a 1660/ti can be a very desirable feature for single pc streaming
alot of newer freesync monitors you CAN enable gsync on
Unless you're spending $350 on a 1440p 144hz (real) hardware g-sync monitor, no
But you cant use freesync on a gsync monitor
Haha I'm shocked tbh, you have the exact same advice that I would give so far
ive been building for friends/coworkers/fam for so long I have no brand loyalty
so I like best bang for buck
This'll be my first build so I'm pretty excited to learn about these things
only reason I lean towards Nvidia is driver stability
but amd is slowly improving there
same as when friends wanna spend $200 on a m.2 samsung evo pro, I tell them to get a $100 1TB SSD. for playing games they wont notice the 2sec difference
@rough loom I agree there. AMD drivers have been poo
If you want to know about stuff watch, gamernexus... he goes into detail on parts in his videos... @sullen briar
Will do. Thanks.
@sullen briarnp
Jay , yeah Gamernexus is good, I like Bitwit, Jayz2cents, Linus and HardwareCanucks
Pauls hardware also
Hardware unboxed is good too
Linus is kinda more for entertainment
They need more Lyle
Yea, but he does test alot of stuff too tho
Okay so I currently have an RTX 2060 on my wishlist. I should switch that out for a 5700 tx?
LOL no my monitor can't handle that power
5700xy would be the better choice
if you dont care about RTX raytracing or DLSS than go for the 5700xt partner card
Jay, go to that forum I told you about. RTX 2060's for $250 used but under factory warranty
5700xt is my go to recommendation atm for 1080 or 2k
I'm still in the process of looking for parts
but my wishlisted one is at 1080 yeah
you'll get more framerate performance out of the 5700xt vs the 2060
Check the two monitors and ssd deal I posted
@sullen briar what's you budget??
2k
I just built for a friend, got him a 3700x, 32gb ram, 5700xt a 1tb m.2 evo and a 2tb hdd for $1800 with 2k 144hz gsync monitor
oo okay
Reason: Bad word usage
ahh poo work in 6 hours
Oof
@shut lance Haha nice, if you want post/pm your pcpp , hwbot etc I'm interested to see what else you use.
Do you need to buy WoW classic or just sub?
just sub
ok i might play again then
ill try to do what i did in Vanilla WoW
go from level 10 to 60 as a retro druid lol
what's the difference between a ddr4-3k and a ddr4-3.2k?
@little osprey just a 1tb samsung pro , 2 2tb samsung 860 evo ssds. EVGA 1000 Watt PSU in a corsair 500d case.
just a little more speed
Speed
@little osprey mobo is a MSI MEGx570 Ace
What if with my 500$ I just get like a 5700XT?
@sullen briar Speed alone, barely any noticeable difference. But when it comes to picking ram for a system, three are a ton of other important considerations even among different 3200mhz kits.
like what
@next tangle you cpu motherboard and memory wouldn't be able to handle it
Or limit it
Jay where do you live?
Would it fry it?
This is the ram I chose
I'd be fine with a big bottleneck
It would handle it just he will have a really massive bottleneck
big isn't even the word lol
Lol, check out my bottleneck timespy post in #overclocking
nope
@sullen briar whre u from?
@sleek mist none you could get the next 2 video cards and still have no bottlenecking
is my mobo good?
I'd pick a different ssd for boot, the $100 EX920 is a steal, makes a great C:/
Lemme check it out
The x570 elite or the Asus x570 TUF would be my pick over the steel legend, but it's not awful.
which ones better
@sleek mist I'd choose the x570 tuf gaming board
Ok I’ll change
@little osprey agreed
elite is "better" the TUF/legend is a preference/feature thing
AORUS > TUF
alright bed time gnite guys
How is the elite better?
@elfin flicker Not true as a blanket statement. But for z390 definitely yes for comparing the elite/pro/ultra/master to the hero/formula/code
The x570 elite has a very robust VRM package for $200 board. It has a lowish end on-board audio chip though.
And with that I can upgrade 😄
So should I go with that?
In the future I can get like a 3600
Yea, but you'd have to wait ahile time before you can really get better parts
Cause you'd have to upgrade your other parts
I mean I can stream GPU too
So, are all RTX graphic cards a pile nonsense?
I still like the rtx 2080
Anything below the 2070 super and the 2070 super itself, is a pile of nonsense imo
@shut lance San Diego
Yup pretty much
Originally from Maui though
@sullen briar aye cali bros
Ha, I'm from Oahu
Wow cool beans
My mom's from Honolulu
Haha ya, Honolulu.
We still have family on Big Island, Honolulu, Oahu
Rip I missed the notifications because I was setting up my partspicker account and parts
Any of you like Spam Musubi?
It's p good. very handy.
yis vry mooooooooooooooch
@foggy pendant if your gonna get a rtx the only one that is worth it is the 2080 super or 2080ti...
The 2080 and the 2080 super are the same price
Okay so stay away from RTX for me Gotcha
@sleek mist hey, didn't forget you, so $2k budget, gaming/ streaming? and what games? What monitor
Pasting: Performance alone may not be the only 5700 vs 2060/2070 factor, NVENC, CUDA, and if you really want... RTX may be a certain user's preference
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LwgBfH so I'm probably gonna get that
And in the future I'll first get a better PSU
then a new CPU
@next tangle yes
What I mean is that RTX cards aren't always a poor choice even if you never want to use RTX itself - e.g. real time ray tracing in BF V
Haha I know, I was replying to 3SJay1 mostly
please call me Jay
And also to squeeze as he had asked "are all gtx garbage"
Tbh not even gonna be using the rtx really... just want the performance
Lmao
If you get it
Lmao
Right now, the pc I have is a potato.
@sweet charm Which card do you have again?
None wanting to get the 2080 super
Chat moved a bit quick, I think uqb and squeeze still could use legit build advice
Building my first pc soon.... just know a bit cause I've been researching for like 6months
Also spam musubi is great. Even from 7-11.
Yes its great...
YEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Ah, yes, before Tony went CG.
@foggy pendant @sleek mist do you guys still need answer??
What pc cases do you recommend?
^ and also browse around https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/ and just see what catches your eye
It looks amazing with rgb fans in the front and top
I believe you can put like 7 fans in that damn thing😂😂😂
Personally Im a fan of the revised H500 Mesh series from coolermaster. The view series of cases is great
from thermaltake
if you want cooling performance those are two top dogs
What about H500i?
from nzxt?
Yep
I dont even know how it intakes air
the air intake in the fronts going to be restricted heavily
if you want nzxt i would go H700
Not gonna lie, NZXT is probably the only affordable thing for me. Everything else? Nah.
you gotta look at how air intake is done. if its through tiny slits and stuff like that. Your gonna have a bad time
the case you build in is as important as your motherboard featureset
Okay
$2k budget?
Closed front cases are scary these days. If they dont give a good gap than you get heat soak of components and lose clock speeds
I’m a poor boi, but NZXT does have good prices.
Can I get this build critiqued?
I put the RTX 2070 there for reference since i'm not clear on what GPU i want yet
I do want a lot of cooling though
Interested in single pc streaming?
looks fine to me
how many fans do I need
I'd get a noctua cpu cooler and spray paint it black or what ever color you need
Dark Rock isn't as good?
eh that coolers fine
I want it to be quiet too
its a giant finstack
one one of the top 5 air coolers. if you like the black than keep it
I'll look into the noctua
There are many "top tier" air coolers equivalent to the Noctua D15. The dark rock pro 4 is one of them
okay so I'm fine. Cool.
Yes, each has pros/cons but it's not like a 2080 ti vs 5700 or something.
once the fin stack gets big enough its doesnt really matter XD
Heat pipe config, mounting system, included fans etc
I forget who did it, but there was a air cooler showdown on one of the big channels. the big ones were all within a few degrees of each other
since the estimated wattage is 359W should I bring my powersource down from 850W?
Yep, paste as well, that's why I said there's a wide range of "top tier" choices
nah. Less load on the PSU means more efficiency and quieter fan spinup or might not need to spin up at all
you can step down to like 750 modular or something, but thats up to you
it won't affect performance much right
seasonic, corsair, evga, ect all make good psu's
I've got the EVGA P2
This guy does the best PSU reviews IMO https://www.tomshardware.com/articles/?author_name=Aris Mpitziopoulos
odd that evga's g2 isnt A+ some of the industrys biggest psu testers rated that thing immaculately well build
Both use various OEMs. http://www.orionpsudb.com/corsair
I don't personally agree with that tier list 100% but I understand the challenge of making the ranking relevant to a wide usebase.
I agree with some, not some fo those 1k evga numbers though
things not to skimp on are usually cases, and mobos, and PSU's
If you want a quiet PC, I'd skip the P2.
Whatever is good + on sale
lol bequiet is usually a good bet for quiet
went with straight power 11
A+ tier
750W
Looks good
it's at gold efficiency though. Is that fine?
Gold is fine. If you want to spend $150-$1200 you can get about "twice" as efficient and 10/12 year warranty, but you should be fine with a $80 750 gold or whatever is on sale.
Alright
I mean, I'm not planning on buying it ASAP
I'll be waiting for the parts I choose to go on-sale before I go about it
I made this for a $1500 target build on stream, prices changed around a bit, that ram is a niche pick. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/UCAUCA/saved/VKhx6h
RX5700XT is good on 1440p yeah?
well, it's exactly the same price as the RTX 2700 so I guess it doesn't matter
not gonna lie...with the introduction of the super tag its so difficult to judge where cards stand vs what I have XD
Comparing our set-ups, mine costs more because I added the monitor and keyboard
I still really like userbenchmark as a tool.
all the tech youtubers hate it
its inacurate and doesnt represent real workloads for testing
if they had a standardized test than sure. but they dont
like its got the i5 9400f and it 9600k listed as the best for intel and they both get smoked by the 3600
best gpu's being 1660?
Ya, I don't find those "overall score" ratings useful at all.
the website is designed to get click traffic and nothing more
I think it's one of the best tools that I can ask a user to run when helping them troubleshoot.
Example from a few weeks ago, user just wanted to see if everything was working normally.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/19171019
From that I can tell they are running both sticks in the same channel with xmp off.
I ran it. meh. for somereason didnt say I completed it when I deffinately did
note I didnt close anything running in the backround
I dono why the graphics bench failed
Not usually a problem for troubleshooting purposes.
PC seems fine, maybe defrag the WD black and update bios if recommended.
Probably userbench's broken GPU test 's fault
I think they're updating that part? Unsure
oh no. the WD black is my main OS drive and has everything open running on it
discord, chrome, backround tasks, steam, 2 other game launchers
funny thing is everything is stock settings XD
except my gpu's
Ah, I just assumed ssd was.
From the bottleneck build https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/19539808
2500k/2080 ti lol
I hope amd ramps up 3900x production by the time christmas starts
What’s better 3700x or i9 9900k
3900x unless ur 200% only using it for GaMiNg
Where 4 FPS more is important than the productivity and future proof
So I made something, and want you all to judge
its a pc build on an asrock x570 taichi; ryzen 5 3600; rx 5700 xt red devil
ram is 2 times 8gb 3200 mhz cl 16
Judging you for picking ASRock motherboard but everything else looks okay
That’s board is way to overpriced for a 3600
I know I want to upgrade in the future and want he good ram performance
ok thx
and one more question
is the deepcool captain 240 pro better or worse than the nzxt kraken x62?
the majority of 240’s perform about the same
but you could get the same performance from like a $90 air cooler
and you could save a little by getting the 5700xt pulse which just has a little less cooling performance for $30 less
i live in germany
oh ic
and ive got a deal where bot cards are the same price
oh yeah get the red devil
i really want a great looking pc so that drives most of my decision making
thats why I opt to get an aio
and red devil tbh
ok thx for the help I think just for looks ill stay with the taichi (also upgrades) and mybe get the captain instead the x62
I would still go for a cheaper board cause am4 is supposed to only be supported until 2020
and that’s more for high overclock
If you're getting taichi get at least a 3700x
