Yea

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 PM

but dont go from a 8700k to a 9700k

I want to have a showroom pc

little osprey Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 PM

then get a ryzen build

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

I have 3 triple rads and 12 rgb fans and 32 gb 3600mhz ram. And taking my 1080tk from old system and getting a 9900k possibly

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 PM

personally I would upgrade the ram and board and keep the 8700k maybe get it delided

I have mine at 4.7 but I only have a single rad aio

ah ok

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:05 PM

But 3 triple rads will be overkill on new

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

I think you should keep the 8700k get some tridentz rgb ram a new motherboard and make a custom hard tube loop with 2 480mm rads and a res. If you skip the cpu think how much more money you could spend on cooling and other things

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 PM

I like how the Ryzen 3000 series basically comes auto-overclocked with it's insane infinite boosting

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 PM

My case can’t fit 2 480s

#

Only 1

#

In front

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

new case too

#

well really only need 1 if not cooling gpu and even then still probably ok

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

I’m cooling both

#

Water block will be here tomorrow

#

I think I got too small of tubing

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

I just use EKs site to make sure everything matches

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:09 PM

I mean it does

It’s just I feel I should have got bigger tubing

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:09 PM

hmm flexable or hard tubing?

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

Flex

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:10 PM

at least thats cheap if you do need to change it

But I mean I think I should have gone thicker

For how much liquid will be in my system

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:11 PM

well more flow this way

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

And I feel my flow rate will be more slow

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

depends on the pump only need to be around 0.75 gallons per minute

median sail Dec 9, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

Well I have the hydro line from corsair

#

Except

#

The gpu

#

Because that line uses rtx

#

But everything else is hydro series

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:13 PM

this

#

i have all of the parts except

#

the gpu block for that series

#

because im using 1080ti

#

and that series is new for rtx cards

#

but i have that pump

#

and

#

socket cooler

#

with rads

narrow rose Dec 9, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

ok you should be ok I have never used corsairs custom loop products

#

plus the soft is a smaller diameter on the inside of the tube than the hard tubing anyway so I'm sure corsair has acounted for that

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:31 PM

Hey just a quick question about fans, I’m building a pc right now and the exhaust fan has three holes on the cord and the system fan place on the motherboard has four prongs, any help?

stoic island Dec 9, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

3pin can plug into 4 pin things

#

4 pin is for pwn fans usually

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

Ah okay thank you!

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

3 pin is DC only, and while it can plug into a 4 pin, the 3 pin DC fand plugged into a 4 pin will likely be locked at 100% speed

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

That’s fine with me, turns out the case I bought was an oven

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

ah well if you dont mind the noise, that might be better anyway. what case do you have?

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

Masterbox q300l I believe

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

yea ive heard about bad thermals in that. like i said if you dont mind the noise itll be fine

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

all my case fans are cheap 3 pin fans XD

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

I bought a pack of 3 Corsair fans for it though

stoic island Dec 9, 2019, 11:36 PM

(I mean what manufacturer want to spend extra monie for no reason)

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

True

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

4 packs of Rosewill fans are the cheapest of the cheap fans, but still work well enough for most air cool systems

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

i found some 4 pin corsair fans but i dont remember what model they are

inner drift Dec 9, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

Probably the ll120 or ll140

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

theyre 12s so i think thats what they are. i bought them almost 2 years ago lol

#

120s*

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

i got a extra fan now... cause I didn't like the fan that came with my case at all

#

it's a pretty nice fan... but it's static RED LEDs

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

i have 2 whites in front and 2 red on top. i kinda like the look of static colors no lie

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

I do too, but I like to have RGB to say what static color I want XD

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

xD thats fair haha. i just wish my ram would co-operate with my software so i could change the color

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

try adjusting it in a different software

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:45 PM

ive tried all the "compatible" software for it

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:46 PM

Which ram?

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:46 PM

it worked for the first 2 or 3 days then nothing. it doesnt bother me TOO much but its just the small details lol

trident z

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

does it matter which way I mount my fan?

stoic island Dec 9, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

wierd

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

one way is out and one way is in so yes

#

if you mean rotation, no

#

top or back is generally an outward fan, and front of the case is generally an inward fan

#

the side of the fan should have an airflow indicator

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 11:52 PM

#

alright thanks

#

I'm putting in a coolermaster

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:52 PM

#

ah then usually you aim the fan towards the back

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

that was my plan

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

where it can be vented by the rear

old charm Dec 9, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

I still have to figure out which way to glue it on the cpu

muted patio Dec 9, 2019, 11:57 PM

Doesn't matter, the cooler itself isn't directional, only the fans

Hi pple, I am Kem. But whatever my disccord says it's fine. I'm a PC building noob. But I've always wanted to give it a try. Recently my excitement for building my own PC sparked for some reason. I've got a 3,000USD budget. Y'all think that's enough to get a descent set up including the tower, Monitor and peripherals?

eager chasm Dec 9, 2019, 11:59 PM

yes

jade grove Dec 9, 2019, 11:59 PM

#

you can set yourself up pretty good with 3k

stoic island Dec 9, 2019, 11:59 PM

3000 is a really nice setup

no that's actually on the high side

stoic island Dec 9, 2019, 11:59 PM

#

Most people have around 1500 or lower

#

2000+ is high end

jade grove Dec 10, 2019, 12:00 AM

i got a pretty good setup for right around 1k with just mobo, ram, cpu, gpu and power supply

#

and its running everything fine

#

even while streaming

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:01 AM

tbh you can prob get 9900k + 2080ti with 3000$

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

Ah😅 I'm glad

jade grove Dec 10, 2019, 12:01 AM

the rest of it including desk and peripherals and desk only brings mine to like 1500 ish give or take

eager chasm Dec 10, 2019, 12:01 AM

Ehh Idk, but I'd say like a Terabyte or so. I don't plan on loading it with stuff

jade grove Dec 10, 2019, 12:10 AM

if youre gonna do CAD you might want a mass storage along with a 1tb ssd or NVMe

Also don't need to go full on crazy with RGB. As the main purpose will be to be working on school stuff I don't need to be flashy (maybe a bit of RGB to flex on friends if budget is enough)

Aight cya

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

@stoic island G3 isnt that great of a PSU. Switch it out

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

what tho

#

Corsair RMi any good?

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

Yee, Also get the Sabrent Rocket NVMe

#

That Corsair drive is overpriced

wild pulsar Dec 10, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZLp6Dx What do you guys think?

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

also MSI isnt that great on x570

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

They're about the same price hei lol

#

120 vs 125

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

@wild pulsar go 3700x instead of 3800x, change mobo, change RAM, Samsung SSD is overpriced

#

@stoic island Rocket is better tho

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

they're at like the same place

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

it's a whole class above the corsair one for cheaper

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

if not corsair being better for the warrenty

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

She’s done!

wild pulsar Dec 10, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

You don’t like the unify? Which would you suggest.

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

If you want an NVMe the same as the Corsair then it's like $100 - $110

#

If you want one that is better, then $120

viral ore Dec 10, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

👀

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

@wild pulsar It's okay. But you dont need a $300 mobo for your needs

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

I'm failing to see why the sabrent rocket is better at about the same speeds

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

Also, that 5700XT is a bit pricy. You might as well get a 2070S

wild pulsar Dec 10, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

@cursive wharf I agree just wanted to get something more then my needs to try and “future proof”

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

rn the rocket is only 5$ cheaper at 1tb

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

@stoic island Controller and cache are a thing

#

not all about seq read/write

#

@wild pulsar That board is like built for LN2 3900x

#

I really doubt you'll go that far

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

They're both on phison e-12 controllers

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

The Sabrent Rocket is about 970 Evo Plus level while MP510 is about standard 970 Evo level in perf

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

??

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 12:59 AM

#

Here is a decently old image

📎 cFv7zZ3.png

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 12:59 AM

#

I'm looking for stats on the mp510 and rocket cache

#

but so far controller they're on the same one afaik

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:00 AM

#

On the LTT server most people consider the Rocket to be on Evo Plus level, and these arent people that just say random stuff either

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

There is a sabrent rocket pcie 3.0 running e12 controller, and one sabrent rocket pcie 4.0 running e16 controller

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

Also of note, that mobo is pretty bad in terms of VRM

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

you might've confused the two bc I cant find much on sabrent rocket

#

I kinda just randomly clicked on a mobo lol

#

One that had wifi

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

MSI has had a tough time with x570

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

I'll look at mobos again later

#

I'm leaving mp510 on for now but I'll change it if the sabrent really is that good

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

Asus Prime P is a nice and cheap x570. Just get a PCIe 1x add in for wifi as I dont think there are any cheap x570 wifi boards

#

That or go with a b450/x470 wifi board

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

I'm just gonna try and find one with integrated wifi

#

if not I'll add wireless card

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

If Mobo stands for mother board then theres no need to worry about wifi. I made the company throw a whole connection just for my room :)

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

Also yee, change out that PSU. The G3 is legit worse then G2

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

Oh than thats fine

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

and G2 is a bit above budget

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

If that's any of what y'all r talking about XD

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

I changed it out for RMi 1000W for now

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

oh yee. Think I said that but bad memory here

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

I'll find the price for like RMi 800W and put it in there

#

bc 1000w had a price pcpartpicker could find and I was lazy

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

550w is fine for that build tho

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

yea I was setting it high bc I was gonna try 3950x and 2080ti at first, but too expensive

#

650 or 750 will prob do fine

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

300w GPU + 150w CPU (more like 130w I think) + 70w system

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

BTW mobo is motherboard taku

#

I'll look for ones without wifi since you got ethernet

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

😅 I feel like I'm back in 2nd grade when I see this chat

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:09 AM

Whats wrong with MSI boards? this looks fine if MSI is fine, if not I'll do like a ASUS TUF board

I need some help with setup... my monitor shows the hdmi is connected but I can’t do anything else.

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

Its turned on I assume?

#

any lights on the mobo lighting up?

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

Yes

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

x570 Prime P is much better for cheaper

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

Oh wait I was looking at the wrong one

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

I can see two

wild pulsar Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

@inner drift is your GPU plugged in?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

I thought you said prime pro lol

wild pulsar Dec 10, 2019, 1:11 AM

@cursive wharf I’ll give it a look

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:11 AM

@inner drift does the lights have writing next to it?

Cuz so far I have this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D42PFG

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:15 AM

#

Just doing an outline for what @olive kraken could make

#

He wanted to be able to do any game, and be able to do CAD work, hes upgrading from a laptop

#

3k$ budget

#

Also I had a friend have that exact HP SSD and had it die after about a month

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

@wild pulsar Well Im too lazy to look into Hero's quality however the x570 Prime P is legit an amazing mobo for its price. Tho only needed for gen 4.0 PCIe which isnt really in use

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

My gpu is plugged in, but I’m new so maybe I’m doing something wrong with the psu

wild pulsar Dec 10, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

@cursive wharf thank you.

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

Thats the only person I know that had that ssd so I've had bad experiences

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

@stoic island I have the 512GB model and no issues. Afaik all failure rates are pretty close to each other

#

there is no widespread test that says "company x is actually not reliable"

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:18 AM

#

That friend changed to a MP510, and now so have I, no issues with that.
I just have some bias from personal experience

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:18 AM

#

Should I take out the gpu to see what the light says?

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:19 AM

#

Im just picking cheapest components that have good perf. HP isnt well known for its customer service so Ill say that. However reliability wise it's the same as all other brands, more or less

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:20 AM

#

I'll just slide in a personal suggestion to change to a mp510, slightly higher performance, better endurance warranty, but either works

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

I mean sure, however given that Im also doing a 3950x and 2080Ti as well for what I assume is a 3k budget limit, small price saving is nice

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

I don't mean to mess any of y'all results but if u r struggling to fit something in I can make it 3.3k and go broke for the rest of the month :)

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

nah nah nah taku we can go lower lol

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

xD just saying

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

these are creature comforts

#

like 1000mb/s more write doesn't matter that much since you'll be using read most of the time

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

Well if it's 3.3k then sure. Got the full build for 3k. Probably up the SSD and monitor a bit
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MNTKXv

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:25 AM

Might want to up the cooler

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:25 AM

nah

#

dont need to

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

3950x might be quite hot

#

huh ok

#

I was looking at the difference but for some reason the monitor I chose is 150$ more lol

#

might change

#

list v2
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jW8GPn

#

changed to a 2k 165hz monitor and a 2080ti

#

decided to up the monitor since we can slot in a 2080ti

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

skipped out on 3950x?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:33 AM

didn't want to risky high temps without a large cooler

I like a bit more headroom

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:34 AM

temps arent that bad tbh

Nah, I'm good I got a home theater if I wanna blast music

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:35 AM

stock 3950x is like 130w power consumption and OCed one to 4.4GHz at 1.325v is 240w

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:36 AM

We can settle for this for now, gonna look for place we can shave off a bit
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BZdL9G

The expensive case is just for RGB flex btw xD

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:37 AM

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:38 AM

Aight. I chose it bc it looked nice and I might've gotten it

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

@olive kraken want ultrawide monitor?

#

last I checked it was $380 for a VA 1440@100Hz ultrawide with freesync.

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

Idk what half of that means. But sure ig?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

I mean 144hz would be nicer

#

ultrawide is exactly what it sounds like

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

just ignore the rest as that was towards 1111

#

mainly focus on the ultrawide part of it for you

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

Is wide monitor better to watch that adult thingie at better quality?😂 😂 😂

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:40 AM

adult thingie

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

I choice a slightly larger monitor for between ultrawide and normal size

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

uhhhhh..... sure?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

I mean

#

ultrawide might have wierd aspect ratios idrk tho

cursive wharf Dec 10, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

Eh, decent amount of videos get blackbars on the side, wont effect viewing or anything tho. It is helpful for more professional work tho as your view is mostly taken up correctly

#

as well as games look nice

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:43 AM

#

I have no experience with ultrawide so eh

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:43 AM

I’ve been trying to get my monitor to work for a while... is there anything else I can try?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:43 AM

Frosty so have you tried reset cmos and flashing new bios

#

that fixed mine when I had issues

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:45 AM

#

That’s not it it just says hdmi 2 and nothing else

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:45 AM

#

does it say no input

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:45 AM

#

No it doesn’t say that

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

Do you have a laptop you can try to plug in

#

to check if the cable is fine

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

It just changed

#

In says “check the cable connection and the setting of the source device.”

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 1:49 AM

#

yea so

#

Display issues is either Mobo or GPU

inner drift Dec 10, 2019, 1:50 AM

#

Okay

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

Eh so this PC, do I gotta like order every single piece and wait for em all to arrive? Or should I wait for like X-mas to see if any discounts etc.

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

waiting for discounts is strongly recommanded

#

I mean 3000$ with 5% discounts on every part is 150$

#

Discounts will add up quickly

olive kraken Dec 10, 2019, 2:01 AM

#

Cuz I feel like maybe it I wait a bit. And get some like holiday type discounts I could save leh money for food

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:05 AM

What's the budget?

lyric thistle Dec 10, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

cpu and gpu combo can be both sides

#

mix

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

(They might be asking for amd GPU idk)

#

Combos doesn't really matter, an intel CPU can go with a AMD GPU and a Nvidia GPU

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

so on one part 150

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

What's your total budget?

#

and how much has been spent on what?

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 2:07 AM

so 100 on the tower and keyboard, mouse, headset

#

and total is 500

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:07 AM

heres the cpu

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:10 AM

#

I'd say so, some good processor choices if you get the right ones, and the rx 500 series is a good budget GPU series. But i'm no expert

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

oh allright

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

yeah

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

I had a friend get ryzen 3400g and rx 570 on a semi-low cost build

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

I'd recommend a ryzen 5 3600x

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

totaling up to 800$ but something like that would work

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

yea

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:11 AM

#

liberated he has a 500$ budget so idk bout that

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

ooh

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

last I checked 3600x is like 200$

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

oof

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

is ryzen 4 good

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

I'm not too sure

#

are you trying to get 1080p ultra at 60fps? 40? different settings at 60fps?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:13 AM

#

ryzen 5 you mean?

#

ryzen quad core 3rd gen CPUs are pretty nice

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

allright

#

what about mother boards

icy plume Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

personally i recommend a six-core but it really depends on per-core performance

viral ore Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

honestly, if your trying to go on a super tight budget, and arent trying to run the best games, what would you think of using the 3400g iGPU?

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

go for a b450 or b350 I believe

viral ore Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

it isnt like, terrible

stoic island Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

yea sassy that is prob fine

viral ore Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 AM

b450 is ideal

So I was comparing the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 to the ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E. I see at Microcenter the Hero board comes with an Intel UHD Graphics for the Onboard Graphic Chipset. The Strix does not. I have not heard of an Intel board coming with onboard video. Is this a typo or?

viral ore Dec 10, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

typo

tame crystal Dec 10, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

Thought so

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

Both will support iGPU output if the CPU is capable. There are only a few z390 boards that lack iGPU support alltogether, the EVGA FTW being one.

XI hero is a very popular z390 option, as are any of the z390 Aorus boards.

tame crystal Dec 10, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

Is it really just down to personal choice between those two?

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 6:15 AM

#

This is a bit old, but here's a general chart showing relative CPU power delivery capability on z390. https://www.overclock.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=250662&d=1548963030

#

But to answer your question - the XI hero is a higher end board with more overclocking/enthusiast features.

I can't imagine getting a high-end board then using integrated graphics... Does not compute

#

Yeah, that's why I was asking

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 6:27 AM

#

iGPU support is still needed for stuff like quicksync, it can also be useful for the occasional GPU troubleshooting.

#

But ya, it'd be real silly to buy an XI Apex and just run with the 9900k's 620 HD graphics for the life of the board lol

Though I probably didn't need to populate it for a 3700X I used the extra 4-pin CPU power on my board too XD

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 6:37 AM

#

While the 8 pin connector is almost always enough in terms of power delivery spec, I think it's smart to always conncet both. There have been some weird reports with x570 msi boards acting up with only 1 plug used.

eager chasm Dec 10, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Just wondering if there were ever any reports of them acting up with only 1 plug XD

#

Interesting random stats, last lan party I went to had a total average power draw of - Total Amps: 711 - Total Watts: 85320

little osprey Dec 10, 2019, 6:43 AM

#

It's hard to nail down the objective facts vs superstition reading through forums posts sometimes, but motherboards/platforms vary so much, it wouldn't surprise me if one board actuallly did act up if only 1 plug was used.

#

Haha how many users? That's a lot regardless.

eager chasm Dec 10, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

~650

#

So roughly 130 watts per person

#

On average

#

Far more reasonable when you frame it like that

#

Also it seems large lan parties are great places to find completely asinine builds... Like someone with a massive case that looks cool... And inside they got an Intel stock cooler Blobcat_Derp
