Oh okay

#

Thank you

#

I’m really upset about my monitor because it’s really old and I can see the pixels and some are dying and it’s starting to have ghosting

#

But my dad didn’t let me buy one even though it fit my budget

@silver meteor
-3700x and 3800x are basically the same in perf due to PB2
-That mobo is overkill for your needs
-samsung is overpriced
-case doesnt have good airflow

my dad is saying i should install the fan that came with my cpu

but i bought a coolermaster and we don't know which one to put in

What specific type of coolermaster?

Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED w/ 4 Continuous Direct Contact Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Quiet Spin Technology , Red LEDs, Intel LGA1151, AMD AM4/Ryzen

rugged copper Dec 9, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

I would think the aftermarket cooler, but if you have enough thermal compound you could do a benchmark test with each fan to see which one holds up better

teal bison Dec 9, 2019, 3:09 AM

So my cousin wants a PC that she can use to edit photos/draw with for around $300. Anything that needs to be changed or is it all just bad? Im pretty new to making PCs so I'm not sure on the specifications for different activities. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4xQWtp

Yo one of my case fans is not working and i dont know why

teal bison Dec 9, 2019, 3:10 AM

#

also can I use a psu that comes with a case or should I change it out?

cursive wharf Dec 9, 2019, 3:23 AM

used market is your friend for such a budget. PSU I worry about as skipping out on a good PSU can be dangerous.

Guys can someone help me?

#

Hey guys I'm still new too the whole PC thing and just wanna upgrade my pc since I've just got a Dell desktop and kinda stuck a GTX 1050 in there with a 250 watt PSU I was wanting to upgrade it with a new case and motherboard, and just wondering should I go for AMD CPU or Intel

#

Hey can I install windows 10 onto a 64gb ssd?

queen willow Dec 9, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

Yes

#

I do believe you can

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

should be fine windows is supposed to only be 10gb but my own windows folder is using 23gb and my user folder is another 15gb so 64gb will get tight but its the smallest size I would say is acceptable

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

i need help with a specific problem

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

tell us the problem

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

i think i may have asked this earlir but my cpu came with a cooler but i bought a different one and we don't know which one to install

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

what did you buy?

#

and what cpu?

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

i bought the ryzen 5 3600

#

and it came with a wraithmaster i think it was cooler

#

but i bought a hyper212 cooler

#

and we dunno which one to use

#

i have a tomohawkb450 motherboard too

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

Wraith master? not a wraith spire LED edition?

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

*wraith stealth cooler

#

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07STGGQ18?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

Oh the stealth, riiight, it's not an X skew

#

it's useable, but if you have a better cooler with an AM4 bracket go ahead and use that

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

well I have this one but supposedly it doesn't fit with my motherboard so idk

#

it has an AM4 bracket

#

I can see it in the pictures

#

📎 bracket.jpg

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

the hyper cooler or the motherboard?

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

hypercooler

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

okay it does say that

#

I see it

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

I'm not really sure how much better the 212 hypercooler will be than the wraithcooler but probably slightly better

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

my dad says the wraithercooler is better because its "direct" contact but this other one purports that too

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

all coolers have direct contact

#

and use paste

#

about the size of a grain of rice

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

okay i gotta figure out which one I wanna put in

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

that's kinda how coolers work, they are all direct contact with paste for heat transfer

#

XD

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

yeah but we don't know which one is "better"

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

I'm more of a fan of the Wraith Spire (copper core) and the Wraith Prism

#

your much larger cooler with much larger surface area, that's the better cooler

#

it just needs a good fan on it if it doesn't have one attached already

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

so just the bigger sized one is the better option most of the time?

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

key words I said, "surface area"

#

most of the time more surface area mean better cooling

#

and larger coolers with fin stacks have that

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

yeah every resource I'm reading says the aftermarket coolers (a lot mention the hyper212) are better than the stock ones that come with the cpu's

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 4:59 AM

#

that's true most of the time

#

now something like a Wraith Prism I'd use over an after market cooler

#

the Prism is possibly the beefiest stock cooler around, with heat pipes and a fin stack, with the added advantage of being down-fire meaning it can blow air over the ram and VRMs

#

that and it's got addressable RGB making it the coolest looking stock cooler too

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

my dad was swearing that the stock cooler was the one we should use

#

and tbh in that moment i didn't understand which either but I did some research and I think I am going with the aftermarket I bought

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

if it was a Prism I'd agree, spire or stealth better to just go after market

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

yeah i got the 212hyper or something like that

#

and my understanding isn't technically deep or anything but from what I understand the aftermarket ones tend to run cooler than the stock ones and I'll take that possible extension onf the life of my pc

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

📎 VID_20191122_012026.3gp

#

Spire is useable but for what it ships with it doesn't offer much overclocking room

#

... WFT it doens't show up as a video

#

that's minorly annoying

lime forge Dec 9, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

when the video is too large it wont embed

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

ah

#

thought it was pretty small o.o

lime forge Dec 9, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

its 30mb

#

thats pretty large (according to discord)

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:08 AM

#

lol

#

i guess

#

but yea surface area is the biggest factor if a cooler is good at cooling (usually)

#

and stacking thin metal fins together maximizes surface area

vague crystal Dec 9, 2019, 5:11 AM

#

Stock cooler or hyper 212 eveo, that i dont know where the mounting for it is

#

(Amd r5 2600)

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:13 AM

#

well if you don't know where the mounting bracket is then you can't use it

#

but if you do find it use it

vague crystal Dec 9, 2019, 5:13 AM

#

Well yeah

#

Mk

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:15 AM

#

all the AMD stock coolers are passable and work well for stock settings

#

but if you have the opportunity the stealth or spire could be replaced for better coolers

quartz terrace Dec 9, 2019, 5:16 AM

I built this PC with my dad. How does it look?

📎 597548774.jpg

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:17 AM

why does the CPU power reach across the front?

#

there should be a place in the back to route it

quartz terrace Dec 9, 2019, 5:18 AM

#

I'm sorry you might need to dumb it down for me it's my 3rd build

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:18 AM

see those holes that lead to the back of the case, that's where wires go

quartz terrace Dec 9, 2019, 5:20 AM

#

Yeah better than I could do on my own

#

I got alot of help with the liquid cooling

#

I've only made fan cooled

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:21 AM

#

there is a hole right next to your power supply, unplug every power and push them though that hole

#

then pull them back through near where they need to plug in

quartz terrace Dec 9, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

Oh ok will do that in the morning

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:23 AM

#

normally I have mine Ziptied down, but I needed to cut the ties to take out a fan today and I'm swapping the case in a week so no need to re-tie them lol

I'm still new to this

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 5:23 AM

So annis, the main thing the VII has going for it is it's 16GB 1TB/s VRam, it kinda future proofs it for games with extreme textures

But it's not super practical for right now

#

$600 can make a decent entry level gaming computer

yeah, the HBM2

if they'd use the HBM2 on 5700/XT that'd be a game changeer

I still prefer high refresh 1080p on absolute max settings

And depending on the game 144fps isn't even acheiveable on extreme settings with 1080p XD

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:13 AM

I worked around my limitations to make a build far above my normal means :)

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

i'm on a fixed income because of disability, but on the plus side i pay low rent, so i have the ability to buy something along the lines of a $200 CPU + cooler or a $350 GPU or monitor when i want to, but i'd have to save a lot of money for months to buy a really A tier GPU

#

and yes, i'm doing the same

buying an R7 2700 with a hyper T2

#

have a define nano S, + ITX board

#

RM 750 power supply

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

Nice

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

hyper T2 has a big important advantage over the stock cooler: it raises up from the board, and well a second is you can use a retention clip for it and you don't need to do the screwing in screws and all of that nonsense

#

i have fine/gross motor problems and anything that makes the PC easier to build out is always better: the worst part is always the front panel connectors, i always dread them

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

I can imagine

#

In that case why not save the money on the cooler and get slightly better CPU that comes with a retention clip stock cooler?

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:19 AM

#

which CPU is that?

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

2700X

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:21 AM

#

that's a high wattage CPU that offers a modest improvement

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:21 AM

#

It comes with a Wraith Prism which uses the clips

#

You have a PSU that can handle it

#

And board

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:22 AM

i'll be damned

my board for reference (it's B350 but supports 3rd gen ryzen CPUs)

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:24 AM

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145017

#

my guess is you need a first or second gen CPU

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:27 AM

But yea if using a cooler with clips is your main concern and you already 1/2 a step under a CPU that comes with one might as well just go that little bit higher ;)

might want to delay installing the cooler until i've plugged everything in

the cooler hangs over the front panel I/O

judging from the 4.3GHz turbo

The prism is a really nice cooler, and it's downfire so it can cool the VRMs better

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:32 AM

yeah that's nice

i assume the X they're expecting you to overclock

#

hence VRM cooling

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:33 AM

Well all ryzens can overclock

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

well yes but

with 104W on what's essentially an R7 2700

#

you have a lot of room to overclock

#

the voltage has clearly been bumped too

#

because the TDP has

these are just chips that have binned higher level than others that can handle a higher voltage/wattage and more clock speed

my RM750 is more than ready to power that thing

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:36 AM

I kinda skipped 2nd gen ryzen so i have no idea how cool it runs on the prism

#

Jumped straight from a 1700 to a 3700X

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 8:37 AM

getting 2nd gen this time is just for cost reasons

#

it's cheaper and it's nearly as good

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 8:38 AM

Yea

But I can say the 3700X runs at about 78C when under a decent gaming load on a prism

The motherboard I plan on using (msi b450 tomahawk max) has 4 x 4-pin fan headers. Does that mean that I can only connect up 4 case fans? Also, the fans I'm planning on using (and that come with the case, be quiet! Pure Wings 2, 140mm) have 3-pin connectors, will those be compatible with the mobo? Is that 4th pin just for rgb or something?

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 AM

#

i think the 3 pin pwm fans have a 4th blank spot so the SHOULD be compatible (check forums and reviews to be sure) and as for the amount of fans, you could always use a splitter if you need more fans

little osprey Dec 9, 2019, 9:45 AM

3 pin fans are DC only. If you plug them into a 4 pin slow that's set to pwm mode, they'll be fine, but run 100%

Look up the datasheet for the fan model

scarlet inlet Dec 9, 2019, 9:51 AM

#

yea I'm really new to all of this, so what it means is that the fans wouldn't change speeds depending on the needs? The 3 pins are just positive, negative and a ground?

Okay that makes sense, then I suspect I can also just plug in 2 3-pin fans into a 4-pin Ysplit cable?

How should I have my fans mounted then? I can have max 3 on the front, 3 on top and 1 at the back. I'm thinking of 2 at the front (air in), 1 at the back (air in), and 2 on top (out)

dry tinsel Dec 9, 2019, 10:09 AM

certainly simpler mounting than the fractal case

there's like two mounting brackets for HDD/SSD

and you screw the disk on the bracket prior to screwing the bracket on the case

scarlet inlet Dec 9, 2019, 10:09 AM

hehe probably yea, I'd route all air out the back but there is only space for 1 an

there's a big space for fans or rads up top

#

you just pop off the moduvent cover

scarlet inlet Dec 9, 2019, 10:10 AM

yea it slides out, for easy mounting

Maybe I do 3 fans in the front (in), 2 on top (out), and 1 in the back (out)

The question because it just have 1 small slot

#

The other ones are bigger :/

polar holly Dec 9, 2019, 12:46 PM

Your board should have three m.2 slots on it.

hollow sonnet Dec 9, 2019, 12:46 PM

#

Yep

#

But 2 are bigger than the other

polar holly Dec 9, 2019, 12:47 PM

Yes that's just fit different sizes of m.2 cards. They all are rated at the same interface speed

#

so what current issue are having with it

#

or are you just wondering where to put them

hollow sonnet Dec 9, 2019, 12:49 PM

#

Mm the issue i put the first one in the small slot and it fit perfectly

But the 2nd one wont fix perfectly as the other

Isn't there a problem with that?

@hollow sonnet what do you mean it is not fitting perfectly. Do the pins still go into the connector with not issues

stark summit Dec 9, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

board sorry typo

polar holly Dec 9, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

If you update the bios on the board it will be compatible. But you will need a older gen 2 cpu for that step

stark summit Dec 9, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

ok thanks

hollow sonnet Dec 9, 2019, 12:56 PM

#

I'm talking about the size, because the "small slot" it have a screw that you can use it "secure" the ssd to the motherboard

#

As long the other slots are larger, the ssd won't get there, the connector will fit perfectly

polar holly Dec 9, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

Becasue a 2280 m.2 is shorter than a 22110 means it should fit in the upper slots as long as the connector is working with the drive. Along with this the thermal spreader will hold the drive down with out a srew in the drive itself.

#

okay question for you guys, if you use intel processor do need nvidia graphics card? or can you use an amd? or does it matter on motherboard

muted patio Dec 9, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

Doesn't matter

signal dock Dec 9, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

@knotty sluice doesnt matter

#

I used both on my intel core i5

knotty sluice Dec 9, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

cool thanks.

little osprey Dec 9, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

if i have 3600 ram but my mobo only supports 3466 will i just use 3466??

#

i don’t get why i supports 3466 and then 4000 but no 3600

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

It should be fine at 3466 and I imagine if the max is 4000 then 3600 will also be fine

Everything

cursive wharf Dec 9, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

Corsair ram is generally overpriced, Asus prime b450 is bad for its price, 1660S is barely more than a 1660 for quite a bit more perf. which SSD model, which PSU model?

glossy hound Dec 9, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

I got the mother board cup and ram for £250

#

Psu is a Corsair modular not sure which

cursive wharf Dec 9, 2019, 8:34 PM

CXM?

glossy hound Dec 9, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

And a western didgital ssd

cursive wharf Dec 9, 2019, 8:34 PM

Just get CX cuz CXM has coil whine issues

glossy hound Dec 9, 2019, 8:34 PM

I got all new parts

little osprey Dec 9, 2019, 8:42 PM

Cant wait to get a 10900k

cursive wharf Dec 9, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

Just going to be a 9900k with a slight OC tho

little osprey Dec 9, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

No, it will have 2 more cores, and a better imc

#

New socket too

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Yeah

#

So

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

so you need 2 screens

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

Yes

#

Helps a hella lot while programming

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

and you'll be gaming too correct

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

Yes

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

so then

#

maybe 1 high refresh and resolution

#

and another medium one

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

I code on a 10 years old PC , and use my phone to open references and stuff lol

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

like 1080p 75 or 144hz or smth

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

Yes that what I thought

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

well that would work

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

Like 1 1440p 240hz and 1 1080p 60hz

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

ye

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Ok time to find a fitting build

#

And money is not a problem for me rn

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Wait you want me to make you a list

#

I can

#

if you want

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Sure if you can

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

ok brb

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Ok

#

Thx

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

ok

#

so o

#

it's hard to find a 1440 240hz monitor for a reasonable price

#

so I did 1440 155hz

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TwbJyk

#

or 165 i don't remember

little osprey Dec 9, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

i don't even think current ports have enough bandwidth to support 240hz @ 1440? could be wrong

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

ye i don't remember

#

@silent pivot here's ur list

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

Thx

#

Alot

#

Build looks good

#

Can't wait to build it

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

ye just so you know

#

the cooler and the kbm can change

#

you can pick those if you want

#

just put those in to show it fits in budget

#

because that cooler expensive and you might want to pick one you like more

deep skiff Dec 9, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

@silent pivot do u like the rgb?

#

cause u could save a fair amount not getting it, but its ur choice

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

On what parts?

#

Lol

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

cooler

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

Oh ok

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

the ram too but its 32gb of fast ram made specifically for ryzen

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

Yeah I noticed

#

Not changing the ram

#

Will take a look at the cooler

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

The mobo I guess could be b450 but

#

idk

#

with a cpu like thag

#

that

#

might as well get the newest platform

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

I should go full unicorn barf

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

you can

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Or else I am not a good gamer

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

you have a lot of room for rgb strips and fans

stoic island Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Rgb is nice to have

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

evil_kermit

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

Yes

deep skiff Dec 9, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

heres a build where i kind of went away from rgb, but i would change the gpu to the xc ultra as its really close in price, and much better cooling and and overclock way better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BtTL9G

#

and a little cheaper slower kit of ram, but if you look at benchmarks the ram doesn't really matter 3600mhz cl16 or 3200mhz cl16

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

Ok

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

ye that gpu is better

#

like I said cooler subjective

#

I'd keep the ram though

#

you said money is not a problem

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

Yeah it really isn't

#

I can blow 5K on a pc but I don't think that I need a PC that expensive

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

Nah

deep skiff Dec 9, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

if money wasn't a problem i'd look at going with a ips 1440p 144hz monitor instead of tn tbh

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

unless you want a third gen threadripper you don't need that kind of cash

#

yeah doesn't like aoc or something make ips monitors at those specs

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Yeah I know

#

I don't know a thing about monitors though

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

ips have better color accuracy

#

just come at a bigger price

deep skiff Dec 9, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

tn is good for more budget and esports players, va has great contrast but bad ghosting, and ips is the middle with the best colors with slower response time than tn but faster than va

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

yeah are you gonna play e sports titles

#

like csgo and overwatch and other stuff like that

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

Probably not

round flare Dec 9, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

ok ips

silent pivot Dec 9, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

Like alot more story based games

deep skiff Dec 9, 2019, 9:51 PM

ignore the prices, some ips monitors have been like $330 sometimes

9900ks is going for 800$ on amazon

It’s kinda bad I’m using these rgb drives mainly for looks

And backup

But I guess 300$ for some more rgb

good call on the k over the ks

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

Yeah I mean it’s same performance

#

Even proven on linus

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

both videos I've seen of people comaparing the 2 the 9900k outperformed the 9900ks in overclocking

Basically same chip just some are garentee 4gz

5

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 PM

didnt even linus's 9900k get higher stable speeds than the 9900ks?

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 PM

Also yes they overclocked a 9900k higher then ks

#

And it’s 400$ cheaper
