#

I'm planning on upgrading my system to accommodate for the 3950x

#

So I figure a PCIe4.0 m.2 might be cool

latent bronze
deft python
#

Wtf is that

latent bronze
#

Water cooling heatsinks for M.2's

deft python
#

Wow

latent bronze
#

but every 6 months you have to change the water

mellow rover
#

That seems... Excessive

deft python
#

Oh, that's pretty rough

#

I wouldn't do that for mine

latent bronze
#

Well most M.2's when using it on a load can get as hot as 70c

mellow rover
#

M.2 doesn't need external coolig if you have good case ventilation

deft python
#

The farthest I would ever go for cooling would be to enclose my GPU

latent bronze
#

with that they claim you would get at least a minimum of 45c on load

deft python
#

And I already feel liquid cooling the GPU is extra

latent bronze
#

There is a liquid cooling solution i wanted to do with my GPU

mellow rover
#

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.

deft python
#

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

mellow rover
#

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

latent bronze
mellow rover
#

Question, what's yall's take on the Z390 series of motherboards?

latent bronze
#

Not worth is since LGA 1200 might be coming soon

mellow rover
#

"might"?

latent bronze
#

There is already talk about Comet Lake and the LGA 1200 boards

deft python
#

You going for a white build, @latent bronze ?

latent bronze
deft python
#

I know someone with a white build, struggles with fans and reservoir fittings

#

Nice

mellow rover
#

Is that a mid tower?

latent bronze
#

yes

mellow rover
#

Link?

deft python
#

I wish my system glows like that. My LL 140s aren't lighting up properly

latent bronze
#

it is still in stock in Canada Newegg 😛

deft python
#

RGB settings aren't synching properly, and I'm pretty sure the hardware works

latent bronze
#

my RGB lights are spinning so it is hard to get a photo in sync

mellow rover
#

Man that's literally just a box huh lol

#

Nothing else

latent bronze
#

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

latent bronze
#

It is not bad but i don't like having tempered glass in the front

deft python
#

That's my concern with it too

#

But I've learned to live with it

latent bronze
#

besides having just the 4 fans i am getting better cooling than my old case that was using 6 fans

mellow rover
#

It's all about flow man

latent bronze
#

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

mellow rover
#

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

latent bronze
#

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

little osprey
#

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.

coarse coral
#

@little osprey look into b450 board and ryzen 3600, also the stock cooler works fine

little osprey
#

My MOBO and CPU shorted out

#

I mean i already ordered this stuff... But I can cancel. I have under 350 to spend

coarse coral
#

I'm not on desktop rgith now so @little osprey halp

little osprey
#

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

#

$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

meager sleet
#

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

https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-node-202-mini-itx/p/N82E16811352058?Description=node 202&cm_re=node_202-_-11-352-058-_-Product

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
#

@little osprey Ya, you're looking for a mobo + 3600 for <$350 right?

#

Yeah

#

@little osprey

coarse coral
#

OOS

little osprey
#

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

deep skiff
#

what budget?

little osprey
#

I play mainly GTA, PUBG, Avorion, Space Engineers

#

300 realistically

#

Some ARK

deep skiff
#

for which parts?

little osprey
#

MOBO and CPU

latent bronze
#

PUBG you would want the 3600 instead

deep skiff
#

ic

little osprey
#

Let me know if you're interested in troubleshooting the 6700k M8E stuff some time

deep skiff
#

live near a microcenter?

little osprey
#

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

latent bronze
#

@little osprey language

little osprey
#

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.

latent bronze
#

@little osprey If you feel like swearing you can say something like holy cow

little osprey
#

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.

coarse coral
#

it happens.

#

just delete or edit it

latent bronze
#

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

lime forge
#

woah i was mentioned

#

im super late lol

sweet charm
#

@sleek mist did you finish your build??

olive sundial
#

can someone help me out picking a Ryzen 3000 mobo?

lime forge
#

what do you need

#

as in, do you need wifi, a certain amount of sata ports

olive sundial
#

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

lime forge
#

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

little osprey
#

Which Ryzen 3000?

olive sundial
#

3600

#

dw zach thanks anyway

lime forge
#

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?

latent bronze
#

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

olive sundial
#

im currently thinking of just waiting on the max bc ive heard the tomahawk is very solid, just doesn’t have the bios

latent bronze
#

@olive sundial Go for the ASRock Steel Legend

olive sundial
#

the x570?

latent bronze
#

ASRock right now is one of the best companies out there and yes they have for the X570

little osprey
#

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

latent bronze
#

ASRock is very reliable and almost no issues with it

lime forge
#

good for a white themed build

#

but i will never buy asrock

#

personally

deep skiff
#

🤔

latent bronze
#

because i am guess you had a single bad experience?

deep skiff
#

u also will never buy amd

lime forge
#

ive never owned a desktop so no

#

i just dont like the brand that much

deep skiff
#

thats ghey then

lime forge
#

but whateverrrr

deep skiff
#

i dont like nvidia but i have a 1070ti

lime forge
#

also id totally buy amd the intel shill thing is just a joke

#

i want a 3700x

little osprey
#

@latent bronze Which asrock boards have you used?

deep skiff
#

i cant say the same about theo tho 👀

olive sundial
#

ill probably go a x570 or wait on max see if the max is cheaper than 570s

deep skiff
#

yall get on my level i have intel, amd, and nvidia in my build

latent bronze
#

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

olive sundial
#

thanks to all of u who helped me out

deep skiff
#

ayy somebody else had a core 2 duo

little osprey
#

I had an E8400, still have it

pulsar garnet
#

I have Intel CPU and SSD

latent bronze
#

Nachos i still have my Pentium III machine

pulsar garnet
#

AMD GPU

olive sundial
#

im almost done with my first ever pc just need my mobo and and gpu

little osprey
#

Core 2 quads are really cool

latent bronze
#

and yes it still works

woeful ocean
#

lol well my first gaming rig was an actula 486 dx2 66 so....yeah been through a few of them

latent bronze
#

C2Q i went for the Q8400

#

I didn't want to be like everyone else i knew going for the Q6600

woeful ocean
#

heh heh

latent bronze
#

Chrome my first "gaming" PC was a Tandy

deep skiff
#

i have a 2600x, 1070ti, and 660p

#

and had a 750 ti and core 2 duo

woeful ocean
#

TRS 80 or 1000

olive sundial
#

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

deep skiff
#

5700 all the way

latent bronze
#

All games loaded using DOS commands

little osprey
#

Were people bandwagon-ey over the q6600?

woeful ocean
#

yeah been there had an atari 800 that i hadd the add ondrive was ammusing.

deep skiff
#

@little osprey that what?

latent bronze
#

@olive sundial a RX 580 you can buy for like 150$ now

#

used but still works

woeful ocean
#

580 not a bad card at all

olive sundial
#

i was thinking going a lil cheaper then upgrading in the future to a really nice card

latent bronze
#

Also i am referring to the 8gb model as well

olive sundial
#

i was thinking waiting a year or 2 for ray tracing it looks so nice

latent bronze
#

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

deep skiff
#

@olive sundial do you live near a microcenter?

olive sundial
#

no 😓 i wish i could just get my b450 flashed there

deep skiff
#

yeah i was gonna say that

latent bronze
#

You can contact AMD to send you an update processor so you can update the bios

deep skiff
#

they also have the mobo deals 😭 wish mine wasnt 3 hours away

little osprey
#

What board?

latent bronze
#

just you have to send it back after you flash it

olive sundial
#

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

latent bronze
#

You need a CPU in the board to update the bios

deep skiff
#

are you talking about the usb flash @olive sundial ?

little osprey
#

Unreliability in this case will come from the user

olive sundial
#

yea with the usb flash it seems easy but ppl have said its uncertain if actually work idk

latent bronze
#

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

little osprey
#

"bios flashback" just means the board can be updated with no cpu

olive sundial
#

yea exactly

#

u just put the psu then download the currenr bios on a usb and plug it in and hit the button

latent bronze
#

I would go the safe route contact AMD for a CPU to update the bios and that is it

little osprey
#

I'd think flashback would be more reliable than the traditional update methods

deep skiff
#

only some boards have usb flash tho

little osprey
olive sundial
#

the tomahawk has it

deep skiff
#

ahh yes that good old vrm list

olive sundial
#

what is that

little osprey
#

I love/hate tier lists including that one but I posted it because the right-most column shows bios flashback capability

deep skiff
#

it shows you which are the best boards for certain cpu's

olive sundial
#

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

little osprey
latent bronze
#

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

little osprey
#

But ya, the tomahawk is definitely one of the crowd favorites for the 3600, not sure when the MAX boards come out

latent bronze
#

mainly has a air chamber casing around the M.2 while a fan blows cold air inside to cool them

little osprey
#

Have you had m.2 thermal throttling issues before?

olive sundial
#

apparently the max is out literally everywhere except the us and there’s no release date

latent bronze
#

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

little osprey
#

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.

latent bronze
#

Most that people were talking about were the Samsung NVMe's

little osprey
#

For example 960 evo's when used for writing 30GB in one sitting at max sequential speed.

latent bronze
#

The main one's that was talked about was Samsung, Corsair and Curcial

woeful ocean
#

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.

latent bronze
#

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

sleek mist
#

Do I need to upgrade the power supply

little osprey
#

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.

hazy seal
#

650+ is always recommended... a 750w is even better

little osprey
#

The 750 P2 has an annoying fan curve profile but is otherwise a good PSU.

sleek mist
#

What should i change to then

latent bronze
#

There is a lot of other features the board can do i am just pointing one of the good benefits to that

#

The specs are nice and it does have an included heatsink in it and would give my opinion when using it

little osprey
#

Seems a bit pricey for what it is. What's your intended use?

latent bronze
#

OS only

#

and besides how is 40$ pricy for a 256gb NVMe?

little osprey
#

You don't think you'll need more than 256 for OS?

latent bronze
#

I am using a 240gb 2.5" SSD right now for my OS and i still have about 160gb free

lime forge
#

i have a 256gb ssd in my laptop, and i have a ton of stuff on it

latent bronze
#

I also have a 1tb SSD for my games as well

little osprey
#

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.

latent bronze
#

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

little osprey
#

Plenty of other options. HP ex 920, spg 8200, wd black, inland NVME drives, anything samsung etc

foggy pendant
#

Hello

lime forge
#

hi

latent bronze
#

Use pcpartpicker instead

lime forge
#

id go for the 3700x

#

instead of the 3800x

#

cheaper without sacrificing much performance

sullen briar
#

okay

lime forge
#

and also i would get windows off of ebay but you didnt hear that from me 😉

turbid walrus
#

Hey

#

I dont want to be that man

latent bronze
#

It asks me to log in when i clicked on it which i don't have a US account

sullen briar
#

rip

lime forge
#

try that

latent bronze
#

@turbid walrus don't be that man then?

turbid walrus
#

I mean im not being that man

lime forge
#

as for the power supply, 80+ gold is fine but thats a good price for whats you have on that list

latent bronze
#

GPU i would go for something like the EVGA

turbid walrus
#

What gpu?

lime forge
#

asus is a good brand

latent bronze
#

yes but for Nvidia cards i learned that EVGA tends to be better

lime forge
#

asus is still great

#

but ok

#

evga is good too

little osprey
#

Look at reviews / the community consensus on a model specific basis

latent bronze
#

@sullen briar replace the monitor as well since you wont get FreeSync

balmy canopy
#

Temps, noise, size, reliability, and looks (subjective) are my main points imo

little osprey
#

Asus, EVGA, Corsair, even seasonic all make both great and notoriously bad products.

sullen briar
#

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

latent bronze
#

i have the exact monitor he picked which only has HDMI and DVI

sullen briar
#

Alright, so I want a monitor with free sync

latent bronze
#

Well that is what you picked

#

or did you just picked one that was cheap on cost?

sullen briar
#

I didn't think that the monitor mattered as much

balmy canopy
#

Get a g sync compatible monitor if you want to save

latent bronze
#

Here let me ask what are the things you plan on doing with your system

sullen briar
#

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

latent bronze
#

3700 then

#

well 3700 or 3700X

sullen briar
#

The gpu right

latent bronze
#

the CPU

sullen briar
#

er my bad yeah

balmy canopy
#

It’s 3700X or 3800X

little osprey
#

Do you intend to stream?

sullen briar
#

No streaming

latent bronze
#

He does intend on doing projects so using the 3700X would be the better option

sullen briar
#

what's the performance difference between 3.8k X verses the 3.7k X?

#

Not much?

little osprey
#

It's <5% or something. 3700x is the way to go.

next tangle
#

The 2nd one is my PC

sullen briar
#

oo alright thanks

next tangle
#

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?

chilly marsh
#

depends on what you're upgrading

little osprey
#

No, I don't think it would be a good upgrade.

latent bronze
#

@sullen briar You won't really notice a difference between the 2

next tangle
#

@little osprey Would I need a higher wattage PSU?

latent bronze
#

just in case you didn't know

little osprey
#

No, and this sounds familiar. If you didn't like my previous recommendations, you won't like my subsequent ones.

next tangle
#

Me? @latent bronze

#

@little osprey Oh I don't remember your previous ones, could you repeat them?

#

Sorry 😄

little osprey
#

When do you plan to buy/build/upgrade?

next tangle
#

Like next month

#

If it's under 500$ then yeah

#

Like next month

little osprey
#

Have you bought anything already?

next tangle
#

No

#

I will probably get the motherboard first

latent bronze
#

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

next tangle
#

Yup, got it! @latent bronze 😄

latent bronze
#

Also mining cards uses a mining bios as well

next tangle
#

What is the difference?

latent bronze
#

you lose performance when gaming

little osprey
#

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.

next tangle
#

@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

latent bronze
#

That is totally different from what you listed

next tangle
#

Yeah I had no idea 😅

little osprey
#

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$

chilly marsh
#

was it prebuilt

still roostBOT

Squeeze#2229 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

next tangle
#

yes

#

😦

#

cyberpowerpc

latent bronze
#

What that an image with some naughty words in it?

chilly marsh
#

no.

sullen briar
#

What's a good brand to keep an eye out for monitors?

chilly marsh
#

it was a sentence with a bad word

#

poor @next tangle

#

you could prob sell it for 500 since its used

next tangle
little osprey
#

Same with monitors, don't stick to brand loyalty

next tangle
#

@chilly marsh yes very true 😦

sullen briar
#

Okay

next tangle
#

Okay 500$.

latent bronze
#

I am loyal to LG on monitors but i bought a Samsung instead 😛

next tangle
#

Should I work for like an extra 200$?

latent bronze
#

If you work you might need more than 200$ extra

next tangle
#

how mycgh

#

much*

#

?

little osprey
#

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.

next tangle
#

I've seen people sell like an HD7870 and athlon for 450$

#

Used

latent bronze
#

you would need at least a total of 1000$

next tangle
#

WHAT

#

😦

chilly marsh
#

for what @latent bronze

#

what are you trying to run?

latent bronze
#

for a full build

next tangle
#

no..

chilly marsh
#

nah

#

nowadays you can get a decent pc for more than 500

#

if you build it yourself

latent bronze
#

Well i don't think he wants "decent"

next tangle
#

I'm gonna be doing streaming

little osprey
#

There's a big jump in the performance / dollar build curve around 600 ish because that means Ryzen 3600 + whatever

next tangle
#

Editing

chilly marsh
#

well he can always upgrade down the line if he wants

next tangle
#

Stuff like that

chilly marsh
#

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

latent bronze
#

but what are you streaming is the question

next tangle
#

Mainly fortnite

latent bronze
#

ok we can't be friends anymore LOL

next tangle
#

wait we were?

sweet charm
#

Lmao😂😂😂

latent bronze
#

i don't know you tell me ThinkingEgg

sweet charm
#

That's messed up

next tangle
#

you already did

latent bronze
#

HB was it you that we were having this talk with him last night?

sweet charm
#

Yes

chilly marsh
#

oh fortnite?

#

that crap is easy to run

#

let alone stream

sweet charm
#

He needs the list with the 3 parts again

chilly marsh
#

you can lower it to under 800 and you can stream just fine with 144fps

foggy pendant
little osprey
#

Share a pcpp instead

sweet charm
#

Ryzen 5 3600, x570 tuf gaming and I believe it was a memory upgrade

latent bronze
#

@foggy pendant use pcpartpicker instead of images

sweet charm
#

2x8 3200 memory I believe

latent bronze
#

Also using a 2060 and going for that elgato is pretty pointless

next tangle
#

I'm just going to put together a 700$ build

chilly marsh
#

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

sweet charm
#

@next tangle if you can go 800 you can get a better cpu

little osprey
#

@latent bronze Not necessarily, depends what he wants to stream from. But I would recommend the updated version of that card.

chilly marsh
#

we can help put a pc part list for you, just name your price

sweet charm
#

2000😂😂😂😂

#

Lmao

chilly marsh
#

rly?

#

lets get to it then

sweet charm
#

Nawh I already have my build done

#

😂😂😂

chilly marsh
#

tho im too lazy so ill wait for you guys lma0

next tangle
#

I'm gonna stream GPU

chilly marsh
#

what?

#

could you repeat

latent bronze
#

@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

little osprey
#

I meant the elgato

latent bronze
#

oh ok

foggy pendant
#

Btw, those the images that were posted was mess from my pc list. I’ve never built before.

latent bronze
#

well if he plans on doing PC streaming wouldn't that card be pointless?

sweet charm
#

Get the 2070 its alittle more for a better card, super if you have an extra 50

#

Or just get the 1660

little osprey
#

@latent bronze I didn't know if he had stated whether or not he intends to stream other content.

sweet charm
#

Who we talking about??😂😂😂

chilly marsh
#

dont rly know

sweet charm
#

Lmao

latent bronze
#

@foggy pendant Are you planning on streaming console games?

little osprey
#

I think Squeeze's picture vomit

foggy pendant
#

@latent bronze yes

sweet charm
#

@foggy pendant what's your budget??

latent bronze
#

And what games are you playing on your console?

next tangle
#

There

latent bronze
#

doesn't have to be all the games you're playing

chilly marsh
#

gtx 1070 is not 220 bucks

#

that build would cost like 700 if not more

foggy pendant
#

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.

next tangle
#

@chilly marsh found one for 220$

#

😉

sweet charm
#

Most you milling to spend @foggy pendant

#

Willing*

next tangle
#

@chilly marsh and it is a little above 700$ 😂

latent bronze
#

My suggestion for retro type of consoles is to see if there is a following first before you decide on streaming those

chilly marsh
#

thats bs

#

gtx 1070's dont cost 200

little osprey
#

Krayola what is that pcpp

chilly marsh
#

unless they're used

next tangle
#

@little osprey If I were to sell my whole PC for 500$ and work up 200$

sweet charm
#

@latent bronze imma stream the ps2 game rapale bassmaster😂😂😂

next tangle
#

@chilly marsh I'm fine with used

latent bronze
#

@chilly marsh the blacked out prices are from ebay so

next tangle
#

Not only eBay

#

Craigslist, letgo

#

Frys

little osprey
#

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.

next tangle
#

I mean

#

I was already ripped off

latent bronze
#

@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

chilly marsh
#

@next tangle realistically, if you were selling to someone who knew pc parts, you would prob be getting less than 400 dollars sadly

sweet charm
#

@latent bronze yea I wanna try speed running super mario 65

chilly marsh
#

prebuilts are like hundreds of dollars more expensive than the parts themselves if YOU bought them are.

sweet charm
#

64

foggy pendant
#

Is an RTX a good select? Or did I mess up?

latent bronze
#

@chilly marsh that depends

next tangle
#
#

3 people bought that..

little osprey
#

Assume the FX CPU AM3+ mobo and memory will be $<50

latent bronze
#

there are some that comes close to the actual value of the parts

next tangle
#
latent bronze
#

I think AM3+ used is cheaper than that

#

That is an optiplex system so there are people that will buy those

rough loom
#

@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

foggy pendant
#

So, my PC list is garbage? Gosh darn...

little osprey
#

@foggy pendant Hey, we're happy to help, this text channel has just been a bit active.

latent bronze
#

There is more than just you asking for a build and wanting suggestions so

sweet charm
latent bronze
#

HB where is his Elgato lol

sweet charm
#

Lmao

#

Was just going for pure performance

#

Since he wanted to edit and stream... hopefully at 1080

little osprey
#

I think his budget was closer to 2k

sweet charm
#

If its 2k just get my build... its 2034.81 hahaha

#

4k60 on tomb raider

little osprey
#

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

latent bronze
#

so 4K30 on SottR then lol

sleek mist
#

yo

latent bronze
#

yoyo

sleek mist
#

I upgraded the build a bit to reach $2k

sweet charm
thorny sparrow
#

@sweet charm 4k60? what card u have

latent bronze
#

2080

little osprey
#

Not that I'm right 100% of the time, far from it, but it'd save me time lol

sweet charm
#

2080 super

#

I gotta change it again

thorny sparrow
#

ah I see so the ti should be more then fine for the 4k60 i guess

little osprey
#

2080 super is a poor value. Go 2070 super or 5700xt nitro etc

sweet charm
#

2080 super is same price as 2080

#

Wanna go to, but its 1000

#

Ti

foggy pendant
#

I actually liked the $1000 option, not bad.

sweet charm
#

Hahaha... is good enough to run 1080p60 on most games @foggy pendant

sleek mist
#

how is this build?

little osprey
#

I think it's smart to have a loose budget if you're unsure what parts will give the performance you expect.

thorny sparrow
#

except thats its AMD

#

JK ofcourse

little osprey
#

For 2k I'd change quite a bit there.

sweet charm
#

@sleek mist 1000w is overkill

#

850 is more than enough @sleek mist

sullen briar
#

I see seagate

little osprey
#

1000W is more than necessary but that itself dosen't make every 1000W+ PSU a poor choice.

rough loom
#

I mean in terms of PSU quality its a great psu

sleek mist
#

Weird it said 850 for me

thorny sparrow
#

and plz dont use those 1999 HD even for storage

foggy pendant
#

Is AMD good or bad?

rough loom
#

in terms of how much your system actually draws, your looking at 650

little osprey
#

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.

sleek mist
#

Wdym 1900 hd

#

@thorny sparrow

thorny sparrow
#

old hard drives lol

#

from 1999

rough loom
#

complaining about hard platter hard drives

sleek mist
#

Is that what mine is?

rough loom
#

they work fine even today

thorny sparrow
#

lol sorry i know everyones budget is different

latent bronze
sleek mist
#

is my hard drive old lol?

rough loom
#

theres a bunch of games that arent even big enough to throw on a SSD to make it worth it

thorny sparrow
#

they do I still have one from 2007

latent bronze
#

Most parts on there i have gotten on special

rough loom
#

like half my steam library is sitting on a 1.5 TB HD. you dont need SSD's all the time

sweet charm
thorny sparrow
#

I only have one HD in my new build dont have enough to get a second one, hopefully soon

rough loom
#

Todays high cache HD's are actually faster than the 10,000 rpm gaming hard drives of old

sweet charm
#

Only running ssd on my part for os

little osprey
rough loom
#

the 1tb WD black I have benches faster than the old 500 gig velociraptor i still have

latent bronze
#

HB guess what

sweet charm
#

Yee

#

Ecks

foggy pendant
#

What build would be better for streaming Nintendo Switch?

latent bronze
little osprey
#

Haha I always wanted a velociraptor, does it have the window?

rough loom
#

@sleek mist personally I would go with a WD over seagate, but 3tb seagates arent bad at all

latent bronze
#

Wow its almost 1am already

rough loom
#

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

sweet charm
#

@latent bronze tbh I'd stick with the samsung one

#

Ones

latent bronze
#

Well i like testing out tech i never heard of before

sweet charm
#

The 860 is pretty good for the price

#

Yea, but you never know if its trash

little osprey
#

@latent bronze That's a perfectly good reason then. I only recommended other options for the value conscious

latent bronze
#

Well the rating seems to look good and has a lot of good reviews

foggy pendant
little osprey
latent bronze
#

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

little osprey
#

Your parts/build aren't that bad, we all seem to have some recommendations, but pcpp makes it easier.

latent bronze
#

never has any issues so far with that company

little osprey
#

Team makes some of the best b-die DDR4 sticks, the team dark pro 3200 14 14 14 31 2x8

#

I have those sticks in my 9900k build

shut lance
#

why would you recommend a 2060

#

im an nvidia guy but for 349 a 2060 is garbage

foggy pendant
#

Yikes.

sweet charm
#

@latent bronze true if you believe and they turn out good keep using them

shut lance
#

the5700 is on par with a 2070

#

and cheaper

sweet charm
#

@foggy pendant get the 1660ti

#

Just about the same price

shut lance
#

right now best bang for your buck is a 5700 or 5700xt

little osprey
#

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

shut lance
#

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

little osprey
#

@shut lance Same here, last AMD card was a 5870 for mining

shut lance
#

for gaming performance though ..... at 1080 / 2k I cannot recommend a 2060 or 2070

sweet charm
little osprey
#

I agree with all of that @shut lance

foggy pendant
#

So, RTX is garbage?

little osprey
#

That's up to you

shut lance
#

with their lower end yes unfortunately

#

the performance hit is bad

little osprey
#

I have a 2080 ti and I think RTX is useless. I've used it for about 5 minutes. But that's personal preference.

sullen briar
#

Okay so I want RX 5700?

shut lance
#

and I dont recommend spending $400 on a card to play 1080p with

little osprey
#

Depends on the game and how competitive, say 240hz, but ya.

shut lance
#

@little osprey exactly , gaming move to fast to check out reflections in puddles.

latent bronze
#

back

sweet charm
#

Recommend the asus rog for rtx.. it's the quietest one out of them all at temps are only 1⁰C difference

shut lance
#

Im playing on my X27 @4k and leave RTX off

little osprey
#

@shut lance What's in the rest of your build? Also do you have the 2080 ti ftw3 model?

sweet charm
#

@shut lancetrue

foggy pendant
shut lance
#

Yeah 2 x 2080 ti FTW3 ultras, 32gb 3600 corsair dominator RGB and a 9900k delidded @5.2k under water

little osprey
#

@foggy pendant Post links, no need to upload pictures for that purpose.

sweet charm
#

@foggy pendant if your getting the 1660 get the 1660ti

little osprey
#

$230 for a 1660 is too much. (non ti)

sweet charm
#

Its 280 for the 1660ti

#

Might as well get it

shut lance
#

@foggy pendant what are your goals with the system?

foggy pendant
#

Streaming.

shut lance
#

what games?

little osprey
#

@shut lance Nice! Custom loop? 3600 XMP rating? or OC

sweet charm
#

The 1000 build I sent is more than capable or handling that and light editing

split flame
#

I found a 1660 non ti version for $230

little osprey
#

I have the non ultra 2080 ti. I want to waterblock it soon, for bench/fun.

foggy pendant
#

Team Sonic Racing, Doom, Tomb Raider, I plan on streaming those.

shut lance
#

@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

split flame
#

What do you guys think I need to stream fortnige

shut lance
#

1660ti is nice

split flame
#

Fortnite

#

So far Ik getting a 1660 and a ryzen 5 3400g

sullen briar
#

It doesn't matter whether I pair an AMD CPU with a Nvidia GPU right?

split flame
#

No

shut lance
#

@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

split flame
#

It shouldnt unless something is wrong with your parts

little osprey
#

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

sullen briar
#

But I still need to match the GPU to the monitor depending on whether I want freesync or g-sync though

shut lance
#

jay not really

little osprey
#

To clarify, NVENC on a 1660/ti can be a very desirable feature for single pc streaming

shut lance
#

alot of newer freesync monitors you CAN enable gsync on

sullen briar
#

Ah

#

Okay thanks. I was quite confused for a minute.

little osprey
#

Unless you're spending $350 on a 1440p 144hz (real) hardware g-sync monitor, no

shut lance
#

But you cant use freesync on a gsync monitor

little osprey
#

Haha I'm shocked tbh, you have the exact same advice that I would give so far

shut lance
#

ive been building for friends/coworkers/fam for so long I have no brand loyalty

#

so I like best bang for buck

sullen briar
#

This'll be my first build so I'm pretty excited to learn about these things

rough loom
#

only reason I lean towards Nvidia is driver stability

#

but amd is slowly improving there

shut lance
#

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

sweet charm
#

If you want to know about stuff watch, gamernexus... he goes into detail on parts in his videos... @sullen briar

sullen briar
#

Will do. Thanks.

sweet charm
#

@sullen briarnp

shut lance
#

Jay , yeah Gamernexus is good, I like Bitwit, Jayz2cents, Linus and HardwareCanucks

#

Pauls hardware also

sweet charm
#

Linus and nitwit are my go to too

#

Bitwit

rough loom
#

Hardware unboxed is good too

little osprey
#

Linus is kinda more for entertainment

shut lance
#

They need more Lyle

sweet charm
#

Yea, but he does test alot of stuff too tho

sullen briar
#

Okay so I currently have an RTX 2060 on my wishlist. I should switch that out for a 5700 tx?

sweet charm
#

@little osprey

#

Or go for the 2080super😂😂😂

sullen briar
#

LOL no my monitor can't handle that power

sweet charm
#

5700xy would be the better choice

rough loom
#

if you dont care about RTX raytracing or DLSS than go for the 5700xt partner card

shut lance
#

Jay, go to that forum I told you about. RTX 2060's for $250 used but under factory warranty

sweet charm
#

Is you monitor at 1080??

#

@sullen briar

shut lance
#

5700xt is my go to recommendation atm for 1080 or 2k

sullen briar
#

I'm still in the process of looking for parts

#

but my wishlisted one is at 1080 yeah

rough loom
#

you'll get more framerate performance out of the 5700xt vs the 2060

little osprey
#

Check the two monitors and ssd deal I posted

sweet charm
#

@sullen briar what's you budget??

sullen briar
#

2k

sweet charm
#

Daaaaammmmnn

#

@sullen briar what's your build so far??

shut lance
#

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

sullen briar
#

Not sure if you can see it

#

I don't have a partspicker account yet

sweet charm
#

Get one and make it

#

It's easier to look for parts

Do you need to buy WoW classic or just sub?

shut lance

just sub

latent bronze

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?

shut lance
#

@little osprey just a 1tb samsung pro , 2 2tb samsung 860 evo ssds. EVGA 1000 Watt PSU in a corsair 500d case.

latent bronze
#

just a little more speed

sweet charm
#

Speed

shut lance
#

@little osprey mobo is a MSI MEGx570 Ace

next tangle
#

What if with my 500$ I just get like a 5700XT?

little osprey
#

@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.

sleek mist
#

like what

sweet charm
#

@next tangle you cpu motherboard and memory wouldn't be able to handle it

#

Or limit it

shut lance
#

Jay where do you live?

next tangle
#

Would it fry it?

sleek mist
#

This is the ram I chose

next tangle
#

I'd be fine with a big bottleneck

latent bronze

It would handle it just he will have a really massive bottleneck

#

big isn't even the word lol

little osprey
sleek mist
#

is there any bottlenecking here

latent bronze
#

nope

shut lance
#

@sullen briar whre u from?

sweet charm
#

@sleek mist none you could get the next 2 video cards and still have no bottlenecking

sleek mist
#

is my mobo good?

little osprey
#

I'd pick a different ssd for boot, the $100 EX920 is a steal, makes a great C:/

sleek mist
#

Lemme check it out

little osprey
#

The x570 elite or the Asus x570 TUF would be my pick over the steel legend, but it's not awful.

sleek mist
#

which ones better

sweet charm
#

@sleek mist I'd choose the x570 tuf gaming board

sleek mist
#

Ok I’ll change

sweet charm
#

@little osprey agreed

little osprey
#

elite is "better" the TUF/legend is a preference/feature thing

elfin flicker
#

AORUS > TUF

shut lance
#

alright bed time gnite guys

sleek mist
#

How is the elite better?

little osprey
#

@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

next tangle
#

There

#

It's a tiny bit above 500$

little osprey
#

The x570 elite has a very robust VRM package for $200 board. It has a lowish end on-board audio chip though.

next tangle
#

And with that I can upgrade 😄

#

So should I go with that?

#

In the future I can get like a 3600

sweet charm
#

Yea, but you'd have to wait ahile time before you can really get better parts

next tangle
#

Why?

#

Oh true..

#

Yeah I told you the reasons before

sweet charm
#

Cause you'd have to upgrade your other parts

next tangle
#

I mean I can stream GPU too

foggy pendant
#

So, are all RTX graphic cards a pile nonsense?

next tangle
#

Most

#

Imo

sweet charm
#

I still like the rtx 2080

Any of you like Spam Musubi?

sullen briar
#

It's p good. very handy.

next tangle
#

yis vry mooooooooooooooch

sweet charm
#

@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

sullen briar
#

Okay so stay away from RTX for me Gotcha

little osprey
#

@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

next tangle
#

And in the future I'll first get a better PSU

#

then a new CPU

sweet charm
#

@next tangle yes

little osprey
#

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

sweet charm
#

@little osprey yea I get it

#

I just like the way it looks😂😂

#

Triple fan

little osprey
#

Haha I know, I was replying to 3SJay1 mostly

sullen briar
#

please call me Jay

little osprey
#

And also to squeeze as he had asked "are all gtx garbage"

sweet charm
#

Tbh not even gonna be using the rtx really... just want the performance

#

Lmao

#

If you get it

sullen briar
#

My room mate wants the RTX for minecraft

#

LOL

sweet charm
#

Lmao

foggy pendant
#

Right now, the pc I have is a potato.

little osprey
#

@sweet charm Which card do you have again?

sweet charm
#

None wanting to get the 2080 super

sullen briar
#

bruh who has that money

#

that's like a month of living

little osprey
#

Chat moved a bit quick, I think uqb and squeeze still could use legit build advice

sweet charm
#

Building my first pc soon.... just know a bit cause I've been researching for like 6months

little osprey
#

Also spam musubi is great. Even from 7-11.

#

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES

foggy pendant
#

Ah, yes, before Tony went CG.

sweet charm
#

@foggy pendant @sleek mist do you guys still need answer??

foggy pendant
#

What pc cases do you recommend?

sweet charm
#

Meshify c

#

I'm in love with it

little osprey
sweet charm
#

It looks amazing with rgb fans in the front and top

#

I believe you can put like 7 fans in that damn thing😂😂😂

rough loom
#

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

foggy pendant
#

What about H500i?

rough loom
#

from nzxt?

foggy pendant
#

Yep

rough loom
#

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

foggy pendant
#

Not gonna lie, NZXT is probably the only affordable thing for me. Everything else? Nah.

rough loom
#

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

foggy pendant
#

Okay

little osprey
#

$2k budget?

rough loom
#

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

foggy pendant
#

I’m a poor boi, but NZXT does have good prices.

sullen briar
#

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

little osprey
#

Interested in single pc streaming?

sullen briar
#

Nope

#

Just solidworks model building and playing MHW on mindblowing HD

rough loom
#

looks fine to me

sullen briar
#

how many fans do I need

sweet charm
#

I'd get a noctua cpu cooler and spray paint it black or what ever color you need

sullen briar
#

Dark Rock isn't as good?

rough loom
#

eh that coolers fine

sullen briar
#

I want it to be quiet too

rough loom
#

its a giant finstack

sweet charm
#

Noctuas are just the best in the market

#

And same price

rough loom
#

one one of the top 5 air coolers. if you like the black than keep it

sullen briar
#

I'll look into the noctua

little osprey
#

There are many "top tier" air coolers equivalent to the Noctua D15. The dark rock pro 4 is one of them

sullen briar
#

okay so I'm fine. Cool.

little osprey
#

Yes, each has pros/cons but it's not like a 2080 ti vs 5700 or something.

rough loom
#

once the fin stack gets big enough its doesnt really matter XD

little osprey
#

Heat pipe config, mounting system, included fans etc

rough loom
#

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

sullen briar
#

since the estimated wattage is 359W should I bring my powersource down from 850W?

little osprey
#

Yep, paste as well, that's why I said there's a wide range of "top tier" choices

rough loom
#

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

sullen briar
#

it won't affect performance much right

rough loom
#

nah

#

just get a reputable brand

little osprey
sullen briar
#

Oh wow gaming terms

#

EZ for me

rough loom
#

seasonic, corsair, evga, ect all make good psu's

sullen briar
#

I've got the EVGA P2

little osprey
sullen briar
#

oo corsair looks like the way to go

#

still the same tier as EVGA though

rough loom
#

odd that evga's g2 isnt A+ some of the industrys biggest psu testers rated that thing immaculately well build

little osprey
#

I don't personally agree with that tier list 100% but I understand the challenge of making the ranking relevant to a wide usebase.

rough loom
#

I agree with some, not some fo those 1k evga numbers though

sullen briar
#

okay. I went with 750W to slash down the price a bit

#

same model though

rough loom
#

things not to skimp on are usually cases, and mobos, and PSU's

little osprey
#

If you want a quiet PC, I'd skip the P2.

sullen briar
#

OH yes

#

WHat are quiet ones

#

I'm guessing bequiet

little osprey
#

Whatever is good + on sale

rough loom
#

lol bequiet is usually a good bet for quiet

sullen briar
#

went with straight power 11

#

A+ tier

#

750W

#

Looks good

#

it's at gold efficiency though. Is that fine?

rough loom
#

golds good

#

my PSU is gold rated

little osprey
#

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.

sullen briar
#

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

little osprey
sullen briar
#

RX5700XT is good on 1440p yeah?

#

well, it's exactly the same price as the RTX 2700 so I guess it doesn't matter

rough loom
#

not gonna lie...with the introduction of the super tag its so difficult to judge where cards stand vs what I have XD

sullen briar
#

Comparing our set-ups, mine costs more because I added the monitor and keyboard

little osprey
#

I still really like userbenchmark as a tool.

rough loom
#

all the tech youtubers hate it

#

its inacurate and doesnt represent real workloads for testing

little osprey
#

People draw the wrong conclusions from it.

#

It's certainly far from comprehensive.

rough loom
#

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?

little osprey
#

Ya, I don't find those "overall score" ratings useful at all.

rough loom
#

the website is designed to get click traffic and nothing more

little osprey
#

I think it's one of the best tools that I can ask a user to run when helping them troubleshoot.

#

From that I can tell they are running both sticks in the same channel with xmp off.

rough loom
#

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

little osprey
#

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

rough loom
#

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

little osprey
#

Ah, I just assumed ssd was.

rough loom
#

nah thats for my games

#

my high demand games

sullen briar
#

Thanks for the tips guys

#

Took me more research, but I have the general layout

little osprey
rough loom
#

I hope amd ramps up 3900x production by the time christmas starts

sleek mist
#

What’s better 3700x or i9 9900k

lime forge
#

9900k

#

in performance

#

not in value

deep skiff
#

3900x unless ur 200% only using it for GaMiNg

#

Where 4 FPS more is important than the productivity and future proof

pulsar garnet
#

^

#

3950x if you want to be extra

wheat river
#

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

pulsar garnet
#

Judging you for picking ASRock motherboard but everything else looks okay

deep skiff
#

That’s board is way to overpriced for a 3600

wheat river
#

I know I want to upgrade in the future and want he good ram performance

deep skiff
#

get like a x570 TUF or something

#

that mobo is overkill

wheat river
#

ok thx

#

and one more question

#

is the deepcool captain 240 pro better or worse than the nzxt kraken x62?

deep skiff
#

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

wheat river
#

i live in germany

deep skiff
#

oh ic

wheat river
#

and ive got a deal where bot cards are the same price

deep skiff
#

oh yeah get the red devil

wheat river
#

i really want a great looking pc so that drives most of my decision making

#

thats why I opt to get an aio

deep skiff
#

oh yeah then they should all perform nearly identical

#

just up to looks

wheat river
#

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

deep skiff
#

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

pulsar garnet
#

If you're getting taichi get at least a 3700x
