what about DRAM sata m.2

#

as opposed to pcie

subtle halo
#

my 7200 hdd still kicking xD i mean ticking

#

xD

cursive wharf
#

Sunbow X3, $52 for 480gb

viral ore
#

m.2

cursive wharf
#

A60 is a worthy upgrade I'd say
why M2 tho?

viral ore
#

its just

#

easy

#

compact

#

no cables

magic rune
#

this^

cursive wharf
#

SATA M2 means you cant reuse after an upgrade to NVMe

magic rune
#

id rather prefer lol

subtle halo
#

maybe sunbow degrades it speed over time xD well theres must be cache if its good to be true

viral ore
#

most motherboards have 2 or 3

cursive wharf
#

not most cheap ones

viral ore
#

any upgrade, especially considering the mobo im suggesting, warrants a new motherboard

#

and a nicer one, at that

subtle halo
#

i have 1 m.2 slot sad

viral ore
#

also wdym upgrade to NVMe

lyric thistle
#

I got none 😎

viral ore
#

your the one who says its worthless lmao

magic rune
#

is the mobo you have for me wifi enabled, its not a requirement just curious

viral ore
#

no

magic rune
#

ok

cursive wharf
#

year or two down the line with a budget, you can get yourself a proper NVMe just cuz

viral ore
#

most motherboards dont come with wifi, actually

magic rune
#

yea ive seen that

viral ore
#

a cheap 15 dollar pcie card will do tho

magic rune
#

yea

subtle halo
#

most mobo with wifi ... windows mess with it

cursive wharf
#

AsRock mini ITX with WiFi is $85

viral ore
#

owo

viral ore
#

really?

#

oh, thats worth it

subtle halo
#

is the wifi inside a mobo very reliable ?

viral ore
#

its pretty much the same

subtle halo
#

like it doesnt perform like a ugly a** dongle

#

like phone lvl of wifi

magic rune
#

haha, like i plan on staying plugged in though

#

its more of a luxury if anything

viral ore
#

eh, its a better motherboard, anyway

subtle halo
#

linus is on my notification with caption "ive been thinking of retiring."

viral ore
#

its full micro atx, so it wont be as hard to plug in the 24 pin

cursive wharf
#

oh whoops, remembered it as ITX

#

great memory I have

viral ore
#

o lol

celest horizon
#

4000 is amateur hour - I don't want my finger only hanging by a thread if I stick it in there

viral ore
#

i didnt even notice

subtle halo
#

24pin is my biggest enemy

viral ore
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

you have no idea

lyric thistle
#

48 pin when

viral ore
#

SCREEEEEEECH

subtle halo
#

so thigh uwu

#

xD

celest horizon
#

It's silly becaues there are like - 3 wires in that 24 pin that actually carry any current

subtle halo
#

48 pin for? xD

#

the size of tech is shrinking down

#

why power goes up haha

celest horizon
#

SR-3 dark uses 4 8 pin cpu plugs

lyric thistle
#

8 cpu sockets NYEHE

subtle halo
#

server use maybe ^

celest horizon
#

8 is nearly non existant on 1 board, - 4 socket was fairly common

subtle halo
#

but thats require a lot of little noisy fans

#

xD

cursive wharf
celest horizon
#

but 4 x dual cpu daughter board is common

subtle halo
#

ooow

#

what cpu is it

lyric thistle
#

nice

celest horizon
#

LGA 3467

subtle halo
#

yay

celest horizon
#

So Xeon 3175x

subtle halo
#

ow

#

255 w tdp

celest horizon
#

A few of my internet friends have tried both the asus dominus , now two have the sr-3 dark, all that same cpu - Dominous was bug ridden

subtle halo
#

is the 255 on full load? any one knows the full load tdp of that

viral ore
#

the sr-3 dark is

#

so

celest horizon
#

Had to heat the pwm controller with a hair dryier to get it to boot

viral ore
#

expensive tho

subtle halo
#

hair dryier?

celest horizon
#

Ya, even I thought that haha

subtle halo
#

i only seen that if you use ln and it doesnt boot beacause its so cold

celest horizon
#

But I understand why

#

I've been on the fence to buy an x299 dark for a while onw - really ,really wish I accepted the offer for $220 from EVGA last year

#

Even now, they're $315 new for top tier x299

subtle halo
#

aw

#

should we return back in time?

#

create new timeline where you bought it..

celest horizon
#

There might be more fun things to do if given the chance to time travel

lyric thistle
#

plug two hard drives into the same port and run it in RAID 0 in a third timeline

leaden lark
#

hey guys im trying to build a pc its a ryzen 5 3600x with the stock onn an x570 board with a 750 watt psu where do i plug in all of these plugs??

foggy hazel
#

@leaden lark which plugs are you talking about?

#

psu? case?

leaden lark
#

ive got an EVGA 750 silver psu, and a thermaltake H200 Snow case with an AS rock X570 wifi board, im trying to boot it up and make sure everything turns on

foggy hazel
#

yes. and that does not really answer what i asked :)

leaden lark
#

oh um like the cables thatll turn the mother borad on and make the the case turn on

#

im terrible at this im sorry

foggy hazel
#

nothing to be sorry about

#

there are no stupid questions, only silly answers :)

#

have you installed the mainboard into the case already or?

leaden lark
#

yes sir

#

i have

foggy hazel
#

okay, then what you need to plugin is both the case connectors (which control the power/reset etc) and the PSU connectors

#

you want to take it via voice instead?

leaden lark
#

well lol i jus got called into work fml

#

but if ya add me we can def do this later

foggy hazel
#

i am not located well for that (timezone wise) 19:45 here right now :)

#

so, just ask again when you get back from work :)

#

have a good day

upper condor
#

Sup @foggy hazel

#

Have you seen Gamers nexus vid on the 2060 KO? Its the same as a 2060 for gaming but in workstation tasks its comparable to a 2080

foggy hazel
#

i have it in a tab, been eating dinner :) and hello @upper condor

upper condor
#

Good evening

#

I gotta work on my build tonight lol

foggy hazel
#

:)

upper condor
#

Nike is starting ti understand stuff now so thats good

foggy hazel
#

good to hear

upper condor
#

What was your build again?

foggy hazel
#

re: GN video: interesting how much news time yield related chips are getting these days :)

#

i have never mentioned my personal rig aside from what case i am using :)

wind leaf
#

why is that?

foggy hazel
#

on which part Nike?

#

rig or video?

wind leaf
#

rig

foggy hazel
#

because it doesnt matter much :)

upper condor
#

Ok

#

Very true

foggy hazel
#

but, because you asked

#

currently i am typing from the workshop/table machine, which is an old 4770s, in a node304

wind leaf
#

I have no idea

upper condor
#

The node is a beautiful case

foggy hazel
#

also, it does not really make much logical sense to mention some of the servers i work on

upper condor
#

So simple yet so elegant

foggy hazel
#

aye, it is a lovely case

#

does the job and doesnt look like something super expensive

upper condor
#

Exactly

foggy hazel
#

and it is nice and sturdy for the situations where you might need to stack things

upper condor
#

Fractal has always had cases like that

foggy hazel
#

aye

wind leaf
#

@upper condor whats your build?

upper condor
#

Dont have one currently

foggy hazel
#

also, the amount of time i have for games is very limited

upper condor
#

Sold it to pay for my new one

foggy hazel
#

so .. yeah :)

wind leaf
#

what was your most recent build

upper condor
#

Bad

#

It was from like 2016

#

Had a 1070

#

I5

#

I kinda scammed someone but not that much

wind leaf
#

i’m beginning to see why building your own is better than prebuilts for reasons other than just price

upper condor
#

Exactly

#

I think its more fun

wind leaf
#

not even just that

foggy hazel
#

aside from the personal enjoyment that you hopefully get from that.

wind leaf
#

you get to have exactly what you want

foggy hazel
#

the main point is "balance" of the parts

upper condor
#

Most prebuily focus on the cpu

#

Idk why

foggy hazel
#

a lot of prebuilts are skewed strongly in one direction

#

because it is a number that is easy to convey to the consumer

wind leaf
#

and you can have parts that are more equal to each other

#

like i was looking at digital storm

#

ok i don’t remember which one

foggy hazel
#

DS do some lovely case work (at times)

#

which is a fairly BIG part of the price you pay

upper condor
#

You'll find a 9700K with a 1660

wind leaf
#

but there was a prebuilt for $999 with an i9 processor with a 1660

#

YES

#

Exactly

#

terrible for its price

#

you could get way much more with that money while building your own

foggy hazel
#

this is a topic where i am fairly certain that i will get some flak for my opinion.

#

but, it is not as expensive as it looks at first glance

wind leaf
#

some people just look at the colorful case and get drawn in by cyber power and alienware

foggy hazel
#

learning to build a machine (both specwise and assembly wise etc etc) has a cost associated with it

#

and that cost is very often "forgotten" when people recommend that people should just build their own

#

"oh, it is easy to learn"

#

"it wont take long"

#

those reasons/arguments dont really change the fact that time spent has a cost associated with it

wind leaf
#

don’t you need like certain bracelets or something to keep the static from messing with the motherboard

foggy hazel
#

for people that are still in school, the cost is not as high

#

re:antistatic bracelets: yes, in theory you should use them. But depending on workspace it doesnt matter one bit

wind leaf
#

people told me to build in my garage

#

instead of indoors on carpet

foggy hazel
#

but, for an adult that is working? the cost is high enough (in my opinion) that it cannot be ignored.

upper condor
#

Yeah because its not just money thats the cost, also time

foggy hazel
#

aye

#

and when you have a limited amount of that? ... it has a high cost

#

there are plenty of people that only have 3-5 hours per week where they are not actively doing something

wind leaf
#

what are your thoughts on hp omen pcs

foggy hazel
#

by pc you are talking about the desktop machines or do you mean the brand in general?

wind leaf
#

desktop

#

i like their mice and keyboards

foggy hazel
#

their pricing seems reasonable for what it is

#

mind, i am calculating the assembly time and knowledge into this

#

i am not really a fan of how it looks visually

#

but then again, i am not the target demographic for it either :)

wind leaf
#

i actually had a friend a few months ago who was selling an rtx 2070 for $130

#

brand new

foggy hazel
#

did it come with a fire extinguisher?

wind leaf
#

I missed out on such a deal

foggy hazel
#

imo, that is way too low

#

i would not be willing to touch that for worry about it not being obtained in a legal way

upper condor
#

Yeah same

wind leaf
#

no he bought it on accident

foggy hazel
#

does not matter

wind leaf
#

hes pretty rich

#

his parents are surgeons

foggy hazel
#

then he could return it

sacred obsidian
#

Why not return it to get all money back

#

That’s sketch

wind leaf
#

he has money to spend

upper condor
#

Ok and?

foggy hazel
#

does not logically compute

sacred obsidian
#

Still sketch

upper condor
#

Doesnt mean he should

wind leaf
#

He buys dumb stuff all the time

upper condor
#

My family is (not bragging) pretty wealthy but we still save money

wind leaf
#

anyway he was only selling it at school

upper condor
#

Because its smarter

wind leaf
#

and so

#

he sold it to my other friend for $130

#

and I promise you guys this

foggy hazel
#

i know it sounds like a "reasonable" logic Nike, just please understand that to us? that sounds sketchy as all heck

wind leaf
#

it’s in stock should i get it now

upper condor
#

Up to you

foggy hazel
#

it will press your budget up to the 800 mark

wind leaf
#

nope

foggy hazel
#

so as he said above, it is your choice

#

we dont count coupons

#

because that rebate is triggered later

wind leaf
#

it would only bring it to around $760

foggy hazel
#

see above :)

wind leaf
#

minus the rebate

foggy hazel
#

the "close to 700" list is without the rebate

#

what you are seeing is the total WITH rebate subtracted

upper condor
#

Do you know how to do or what a mail in rebate is @wind leaf?

foggy hazel
#

him and me talked briefly about it

#

he pm'ed me late last night

upper condor
#

Oh ok good

leaden lark
#

@foggy hazel im back

foggy hazel
#

but as i said, i have a limited amount of knowledge about it, because it is not something we do here in denmark :)

#

@leaden lark that was quick :)

leaden lark
#

lol yea ik

#

hop into vc?

foggy hazel
#

one moment :)

sudden turret
#

😮

leaden lark
#

awesiome

wind leaf
#

yes i know. it was $699 without the rebate

leaden lark
#

can u hear me now?

#

yea

#

im getting my vc is working for me

#

gamer can hear me

wind leaf
#

so if we replace the 1660ti which is $243, it will only be around a $60 difference

upper condor
#

Ill be in VC in like 5 minutes

wind leaf
#

the ryzen 7 is on sale too

#

but i don’t need it

#

i’ll just stick with the original

foggy hazel
#

re: 1660ti: that is true. that is my mistake @wind leaf, i was certain it was closer to 200

foggy hazel
#

@upper condor sorry mate, fixed it in a direct voice call (video available that way)

upper condor
#

Yep

#

That's fine

#

Had to do something else either way

wind leaf
#

tough tough decisions

#

i’m not going to buy them all at 1 time

#

i’ll just buy the 2060 ko ,the 2600, the mobo, and the case today

cursive wharf
#

idk, I'd go 1600AF and 5700 if not streaming

woven horizon
#

Anyone ever taken a drimel to their ram to make their aio fit? I did 🤣

wind leaf
#

@cursive wharf i want to stream tho

cursive wharf
#

Then that's good

gentle bay
#

I have a question concerning the icue software

#

Do i need to have the RBG lightning node thing to change the fans rbg

#

ot

#

or*

woven horizon
#

YES

wispy matrix
#

Can someone help me I’m new to building PCs and I need help bad

sacred obsidian
#

wassup

teal bison
#

sure

sacred obsidian
#

i would refine that list as you like

wispy matrix
#

Alright

sacred obsidian
#

and get more opinions.

#

Hei is good with power supplies (im not) so you could ask him about what psu to get, naed and spatula are really good with refining builds, espeicially naed if confined to a budget i believe. bekora is also really helpful. if you can get one of them on they can be super helpful people to get what you want

wispy matrix
#

Your a big help

sacred obsidian
#

lol thats what we're here for

stoic island
wind leaf
#

is an i7-6800k good with a rtx 2060??

#

is it better than the ryzen 5 2600??

#

Is that Cpu good enough for streaming while gaming ??

sacred obsidian
#

i would say go ryzen. theyre the best all around in the current gen

wind leaf
#

thanks

#

not to mention it’s cheaper

#

but my friend offered me the i7-6800k for $160

#

wanted to see if that was a steal

sacred obsidian
#

yeah. the bottleneck is low in both so you wouldnt really experience bottleneck in either cpu, but its general knowledge that amd is the top right now

#

may change soon though we will see.

wind leaf
#

so i shouldn’t go with the i7

#

okay.

little osprey
#

I love my 3700x

viral ore
#

@wind leaf the i7 6800k isn't really worth it

#

The i7 6900k however

#

It's nice

wind leaf
#

i’m sticking with the r5 2600

#

thanks tho

viral ore
#

Noooo

#

You didn't get my funny joke

sacred obsidian
#

i didnt either

little osprey
#

What else do you guys suggest to put in my case

viral ore
#

You guys are uncultured

sacred obsidian
#

dont talk to me like that peter griffin

viral ore
#

😳 😳 😤

wind leaf
#

idk if a coolermaster q300l is good enough for my matx build

#

makes me think that i’d have to buy more fans

viral ore
#

You would

teal bison
#

most cases only come with 1 or 2 fans

obsidian rock
#

69 lol @viral ore

foggy hazel
#

@wind leaf for now, things will work just fine

#

your parts are not exactly super hot

jaunty karma
#

Hey @foggy hazel

#

Remember me?

foggy hazel
#

nope

jaunty karma
#

Its xGalaxyWolfzx

#

Its budget guy

#

@foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

yes, i know.

jaunty karma
#

Well

#

I just spent 80$

#

On ram

foggy hazel
#

good for you.

jaunty karma
#

Now for An 120$ mobo

#

And 20$ cpu cooler

#

40$ on rgb fans

sharp perch
#

Tryna build a pc

#

Need help

latent bronze
#

For what use?

wispy matrix
#

Tryna build a pc for gaming and editing with a budget of 1200

latent bronze
#

no streaming right?

wispy matrix
#

Prob a little bit

hollow grove
#

I’m still tryna find the cheapest of the cheap parts for my cousins pc

#

Or I guess it’s mine but I’m selling it

sharp perch
#

Nah not for streaming

latent bronze
cursive wharf
#

You have the budget to not use a cheap NVMe

#

Might as well use a decent NVMe

#

Rather then DRAMless/no HMB

#

Also 212 is pretty pricy for what it is tbh

foggy hazel
#

@wispy matrix i believe @sacred obsidian mentioned me yesterday

wispy matrix
#

I think he did

sharp perch
#

Naed can you help me

foggy hazel
#

can you elaborate a bit on what you wanted and what you potentially plan on (long term) for the machine @wispy matrix ?

#

@sharp perch i do believe you have had your questions answered a bunch of times and ignored the answers all the times

sharp perch
#

No but I just wanna know what I should get I know every time I change things is because I don’t know for sure if I can get it but the only thing I wanna know is case and I know no one is online sometimes but idk what ssd is good and what is better for me @foggy hazel

foggy hazel
wispy matrix
#

I want a gaming pc that will help me play games like modern warfare etc and i like designing stuff on my free time and I plan on using it like normally

foggy hazel
#

are you in school? do you plan to move into your own in the near future? would you like something that does not scream "gamer"?

wispy matrix
#

I’m in school

foggy hazel
#

it is okay if you dont want to answer all the things

#

the more we know, the easier it is to help you

wispy matrix
#

I’m in high school, in 3 years I will try to move to an apartment

#

It doesn’t have to scream gamer

foggy hazel
#

your budget, is that for the machine alone? or is that with monitor and other peripherals included?

wispy matrix
#

I have a mouse keyboard and mousepad

#

And monitors

#

And my budget is 1200

foggy hazel
#

aye aye

#

give me ... 5-10 minutes

wispy matrix
#

Ok

foggy hazel
#

last question: Wifi?

#

do you want/need that?

sacred obsidian
#

I built a machine somewhere yesterday to start with but I can’t access it right now lol

cursive wharf
#

Pretty sure that can be a good 1440p machine, even if 950~ and spend rest on monitor

wispy matrix
#

Not rn naed

#

I have tons of extra monitors

cursive wharf
#

But 1440 monitors?

#

Or just 1080 and less

foggy hazel
#

@wispy matrix but not saying no if the machine comes with it? (wifi that is)

wispy matrix
#

If it comes with it comes with it

foggy hazel
#

fair enough.

cursive wharf
#

Think about apartment as well

sacred obsidian
#

He could always buy a good machine and run at 1080 and get a new monitor at 1440 later lol

wispy matrix
#

And hei I’m in school rn

latent bronze
#

being hard wired in will always be better

sacred obsidian
#

Not always accessible tho ecks

cursive wharf
#

Talking about future then you said you'd be moving

wispy matrix
#

That’s 3 years from now

sacred obsidian
#

Also I use WiFi on my main rig and get the same speeds as wired lol

subtle halo
#

xD

#

wifi = ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v
cable = -------------------------------

cursive wharf
#

Generally you'd get better latency and LAN speeds off WIFI as most internet plans aren't over the wifi speed cap

subtle halo
#

i use my phone usb tether only .. modem wifi -> phone -> pc xD

sacred obsidian
#

Why tho

cursive wharf
#

That is, if you're aren't in a bad place with lots of interference or have a bad router. Then lots of dropped packages

sacred obsidian
#

Why not modern WiFi to PC

subtle halo
#

devices that uses 2.4ghz also interfere with wifi

#

and if you had disney castle house

#

xD

#

our house is smoll pp only haha

latent bronze
#

ethernet though will always be better

cursive wharf
#

Depends. If phones alwaysed used ethernet and had no wifi, pretty sure that'd be a worse experience

upper condor
#

How does this look?

cursive wharf
#

PSU is pretty meh

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

Ik that phanteks one exists

#

But it is missing a power connector

#

So dont know

cursive wharf
#

I'd take RM/RMx or Phanteks AMP over that
Also the extra 4 pin EPS isn't one to be concerned about

upper condor
#

Why not

#

Im not PSU jesus like you sorry

cursive wharf
#

The 8 pin EPS supplies 300w of power, no AM4 CPU takes that

foggy hazel
#

generally only there for OC stability (if you listen to the PR department)

muted patio
#

It's an Intel build......

upper condor
#

Yeah

cursive wharf
#

brain dead there

#

9700k takes 200w at high OCs iirc

muted patio
#

Yeah

upper condor
#

I mean could a U12S even do 5ghz all cores?

muted patio
#

Only the 8 pin is needed

cursive wharf
#

If you plan to go 9900k with major OC in the future, then go for it I guess

upper condor
#

Na

#

So phanteks amp?

cursive wharf
#

That or RM/RMx

#

Whatever is cheaper

upper condor
#

Ok

#

What about the case/fans?

#

The case comes with none btw

foggy hazel
#

@wispy matrix sorry for the delay

wispy matrix
#

It’s fine

cursive wharf
#

upHere has some cheap RGB fan packs

stoic island
#

Asiahorse too if I recall

upper condor
#

Thats why i got them

foggy hazel
upper condor
#

Even just 6 normal fans would be more than that

#

Ok ill look

#

Hmmmm lemme edit it a bit

cursive wharf
#

RAM is cl17, basically cl18 due to rounding to even number

foggy hazel
#

the other kits around that is cl19

stoic island
#

Ripjaw V should have cl16 at about 80$

cursive wharf
#

Price got higher or smth?

stoic island
#

82$

foggy hazel
#

hm, was not showing up here

#

lets try again then

cursive wharf
#

@upper condor going 6 can get worse perf depending on the case. Most aren't properly designed to run max fans and tend to get turbulence or smth

foggy hazel
#

and now it is the other way around, the ripjaws show up, but the other kit doesnt

stoic island
#

thats wierd

foggy hazel
#

thank you for the shoutout on ripjaws

#

at least that is fixed

upper condor
#

Wow the case on this must be high quality

foggy hazel
#

who is that build for @upper condor ?

upper condor
#

This one is for nobody

foggy hazel
#

kk

upper condor
#

Im currently picking parts for a friend tho

foggy hazel
#

ah

upper condor
#

He has a budget of 3k but i dont think if hes playinf at 1440p he should spend that much

foggy hazel
#

you should probably grab some 3600 ram at least :)

upper condor
#

Yeag he doesnt know much about pc's

foggy hazel
#

@cursive wharf a replacement for the seasonic, but 650watt? (in the build i posted 5 minutes ago for @wispy matrix)

upper condor
#

He doesn't want rgb either

wispy matrix
#

Naed the reason I want a new pc also somehow my USB ports broke in my old computer

foggy hazel
#

as in, when you plug something in. the device does not get recognized?

wispy matrix
#

And the other reason and the FPS on that computer is low

#

Naed nope

#

I plug in my mouse and it doesn’t turn on

#

And my keyboard

just to make certain, you have tried those devices on other machines?

wispy matrix
#

Yes

#

They work fine

foggy hazel
#

good

#

(just have to make certain you know :) )

wispy matrix
#

I’ve dealt with 200 dollar computers but nothing bigger than 700

foggy hazel
#

this is a fair bit bigger than that

wispy matrix
#

Ik

foggy hazel
#

the thoughts behind what i have chosen to spend money on is this:

#

longevity and future planning

#

with a dash of "dont stand out"

#

the case is a simple black box, only a few distinct design lines and that is it

#

i chose a mainboard with wifi, simply to give you the option in the future for going that route

#

the reasonic psu choice is two-fold. I know them very well, and i put a fair amount of weight on the 10 year warranty they come with

#

the downside to that choice is price, hence why i asked @cursive wharf for a different option.

#

does that make sense @wispy matrix ?

wispy matrix
#

Yes

foggy hazel
#

any savings that could be made would be pushed into a decent CPU cooler, because the rest of the system is basically quiet/silent

wispy matrix
#

I might change the case tho

#

That’s about it tho

foggy hazel
#

as i said, the psu you have on the list, should be equally well served by something a bit cheaper, but again, i dont recommend parts i dont know

#

might i ask what case you would change to @wispy matrix ? (and no, i am not going to judge if you want a pink case)

#

i am just curious

wispy matrix
#

It’s not gonna be a case

#

And I can’t post pics

foggy hazel
#

wallmount?

#

so, in other words, the 1200 budget is without a case?

wispy matrix
#

It’s a case

foggy hazel
#

fair enough :)

#

as long as that is what you want :)

wispy matrix
#

Your a big help

#

Thx

foggy hazel
#

np

cursive wharf
#

Phanteks AMP or RM/RMx. 550w AMP should be $90 and 650w is $100 iirc @foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

thank you @cursive wharf

cursive wharf

upper condor
#

Hows this

foggy hazel
#

i think my beard turned rainbow coloured by clicking that link

upper condor
#

Lol yeah

#

Thats the idea

#

Its pretty much all corsair lol

celest horizon
#

Could get a corsair nvme drive for a bit more, or by shaving $ on other parts if you wanna really commit haha.

upper condor
#

Bruh

celest horizon
#

The MP610's, although expensive, really are some of the best consumer drives.

upper condor
#

The gen4 is like 2000000000 dollars

celest horizon
#

At launch, ya, some models have gone on sale for reasonable $ imo

upper condor
#

210 rn

#

Not reasonable for me, im just gaming

celest horizon
#

Even if not using 4.0, the phison controller on those drives will still give you 99% of the real world benefits on 3.0.

But ya, depends how much you wanna go full corsair haha

foggy hazel
#

give it time

celest horizon
#

mp510 480 is 130

upper condor
#

Lol

#

Yeah

foggy hazel
#

still waiting for good gen4 drives

#

some got announced at CES

#

time will tell if they are actually good

upper condor
#

Wonder if theres any brands that make every piece

foggy hazel
#

every piece of the machine or the drive?

celest horizon
#

I want to see intel put out a more attractively priced p4801x or optane 905p

foggy hazel
#

attractive for who?

upper condor
#

Every piece of everything

#

Msi?

celest horizon
#

consumer/prosumer/enterprise , I'm salty they void warranty for running consumer optane in ESXI

#

P4800x is "sell a kidney" price usually

foggy hazel
#

aye, it is

upper condor
#

Not cpu tho

latent bronze
#

If just gaming you can just use a 2.5" SSD

celest horizon
#

can, but >all but the cheapest, poor choice

foggy hazel
#

not quite the segment we are talking about @latent bronze

upper condor
#

I mean i just cant find a decent price 1tb 2.5

foggy hazel
#

mx500 is not bad

latent bronze
#

Would of recommended the one i am using but marketplace sellers are only selling it now on Newegg

#

been using this on my main system and laptop (main system for over a year) and no issues what so ever

upper condor
#

Idk the crucial p1 is 99

#

M.2 1tb

wind leaf
#

@foggy hazel but what if i get a 2060 ko

stoic island
#

No team plz

latent bronze
#

No Mr1111 plz

stoic island
#

Alr bye

little osprey
#

Wait I thought you put the gold dot on the opposite site of the gold triangle when putting in a cpu

#

Now I bent pins 😢

viral ore
#

intel or amd

little osprey
#

Intel

viral ore
#

yeahh, they changed it a few times over the course of the past few generations

#

9th gen is dot to triangle iirc

#

7th or 8th they switched it

little osprey
#

There old is dot opposite to triangle

viral ore
#

so

#

i guess try to get tweezers and fix the pins

little osprey
#

I mean they are ewaste pcs so idc bout them to much

viral ore
#

oh lol

little osprey
#

Sassy I make games in unreal so do you think this is over kill i9-99k with 2080ti with 32gb of ddr4 3600 over kill

#

I need to be able to render stuff while still working on the actual game

viral ore
#

well, most rendering applications will use all of your cores

little osprey
#

Blender is what I use so

viral ore
#

how often do you think you will be rendering and doing other things at the same time?

little osprey
#

Every day

viral ore
#

huh

#

hmmmmm

#

i think your budget will be better spent on the cpu and motherboard than on the gpu

little osprey
#

So we are making custom assets so everything will be modeled in blender

#

I9 10900?

viral ore
#

i was thinking an amd beast

#

they have the cheapest per core procs

little osprey
#

Really never heard of it I'll look at it

viral ore
#

no, i was just saying an amd cpu

#

i was using beast as an adjective

little osprey
#

Oh lol okay

viral ore
#

wait, so do you plan on cpu or gpu rendering

#

prob shouldve asked that first

little osprey
#

What do you thi do k about this

#
viral ore
#

haha, yes

#

this will shred any cpu blender render lmao

#

the ryzen 9 3950x is 16c

#

so double the 9900k

little osprey
#

Lol

viral ore
#

and its about 750

little osprey
#

Damn okay

#

I mean 64 cores cant go wrong lol

viral ore
#

but, since the 2080ti is kinda overkill

#

wait, do you want an 8k cpu?

little osprey
#

I'll game to but idk I know someone selling a titan x

viral ore
#

like, if you got the budget

upper condor
#

Titan x pascal.

little osprey
#

3000 or less possibly

upper condor
#

?*

viral ore
#

ok

little osprey
#

Idk

upper condor
#

Server guy

little osprey
#

I think its founders

viral ore
#

oh yeah, there are 2 different titan x

upper condor
#

wait for the 3990X

viral ore
#

LMAO

upper condor
#

new threadripper thats 64 core

little osprey
#

I'm not sure

viral ore
#

he dont got that kinda budget tho

upper condor
#

Oh my b

#

thought he was getting a god system because of the epyc

little osprey
#

3000 or less I have the case btw it's the Hyper Beast h440 limited edition

upper condor
#

Oh lol the 3990X is 4k

viral ore
#

that leaves you 1300 for everything else

upper condor
#

I mean thats decent

#

good mobo, 2070s

#

32gb ram no problem

viral ore
#

for constant cpu rendering, he needs them cores

upper condor
#

3950X

#

Oh he will need a good psu and cooler if he goes for tr

viral ore
#

true

#

a solid 700-850w psu should be enough

stoic island
#

650w can do it

#

750 would be optimal

little osprey
#

That's a deal and a half

viral ore
#

yeah

upper condor
#

650w gaming ready vr 80+ diamond rgb asus aura sync

viral ore
#

huh?

upper condor
#

The best psu

viral ore
#

80+ diamond isnt a thing

upper condor
#

Ik

#

im kidding

viral ore
#

o lol

little osprey
upper condor
#

Kek

viral ore
little osprey
#

You can buy a 1080ti om there for 200 dollars

upper condor
#

They are dake

#

fake

#

dont

little osprey
#

Ik they are I'm messing with you lol

#

Also sassy I will need a lot of storage because I am already using 2tb

viral ore
#

yeah, so an AMD 3960x, 32gb of ram, a 2080s, a 650w psu,

#

ok

#

i assume in a raid config?

little osprey
#

How ever works best

#

Because I cant stand my external drives

viral ore
#

is the data your storing important?

#

if you lost one of these drives

#

how bad would that be

little osprey
#

It would be bad we dont upload our work until needed so it sits on the drives

viral ore
#

raid 0 it is

#

is 32gb enough?

#

or is that just your estimate

foggy hazel
#

@wind leaf in what context?

upper condor
#

Why nike.

#

?

foggy hazel
#

he pinged me earlier @upper condor

upper condor
#

Ahh ok

#

i sent him the link to the prebuilts pcpartpicker put together

foggy hazel
#

and i am asking for context, because i have no idea about what basis he is asking on/from

subtle halo
#

hmm i wonder what would happen if he get 2060 ko

little osprey
#

I'm back @viral ore my bad lol

viral ore
#

k

#

also, newegg wants to charge 200 in tax on a 2500 dollar purchase

#

so your budget is really like 2750 if you order on newegg

subtle halo
#

pff who pays taxes jk xD

viral ore
#

also, i found a really good deal on a 650w titanium psu

#

but the sale ends in like 3 days

#

when were you planning on ordering

subtle halo
#

nice

viral ore
#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

Ok

#

Can you PM the specs

viral ore
#

sure, in a bit

little osprey
#

Thanks man for the help

Hey all, built my old computer back up for my little bro and am having some troubles getting past boot up. Stuck on setup screen and won’t let me out. Motherboard is showing

#

Code ab or a6

I found a IBM z890 if anyone is interested lol

#

It weights 2300 pounds lol

#

and the z890 is a mainframe

little osprey
#

How do you replace the front case fan on my case

stoic island
#

@little osprey what case

little osprey
#

Phantek enthoo pro

stoic island
#

One secons

#

Do you want to replace it with new different fans or replace with a new one of the original ones

#

Huh thats a 200mm fan up front

little osprey
#

There sending me a replacement

#

It’s making a static noise

#

Since I took the hard drive trays out I can easily take the fan out

prime spear
#

yeet

wind leaf
#

@foggy hazel in the context of my parts overheating. Will a 2060 ko affect it more?

foggy hazel
#

not really

#

not in a way that you need to worry about

little osprey
#

@stoic island it’s the tg one

#

It says 140 for the front

teal bison
#

at what point should you switch from b450 to x570?

foggy hazel
#

when there is something you absolutely "need" on x570

teal bison
#

does it not matter if i just use b450 all the way up to 3950x?

foggy hazel
#

currently i would say there is nothing for the owner of a gaming machine there.

#

depends on what you want to do

#

it is a complicated question to answer @teal bison

#

because it involves a LOT of factors

#

if you are curious enough about it, we can take a chat about it tomorrow?

cursive wharf
#

unless you have a fair bit of airflow going over the VRMs of the mobo, b450 will rarely be a decently good idea for 3950x

teal bison
#

ok interesting thanks for the info

#

also sorry for late reply had to go

#

It wouldn’t be worth paying twice for some gskill ram just to have it black instead of red, ey?

It’s up to you , maybe you care a lot about how it looks like

#

Hey guys im planning a new setup and im thinking about the alex drawr and ikea counter top, what do you think? And is there a preffered counter top?

teal bison
#

anyone know why this happens? whenever i use the rectangle select thing it turns that part of the desktop black.

#

a restart fixes it and it happens randomly

viral ore
#

Do you notice any other issues?

teal bison
#

no i can launch all my programs and play games

viral ore
#

It might just be a windows bug

#

Is your windows activated?

teal bison
#

ya

viral ore
#

Did you set your wallpaper through the windows settings?

teal bison
#

i think so. its been so long

foggy hazel
#

that looks/sounds like a corrupt gpu driver

#

but, that is only a guess

viral ore
#

Try changing your wallpaper to something else

teal bison
#

its been happening for a while and ive updated my drivers since the first time its started

foggy hazel
#

hm

viral ore
#

Do a solid color

#

That isnt black

#

See what happens

teal bison
#

ok

#

actually there is a driver update ill install that real quick

#

ya i guess that fixed it

#

changing the wallpaper not the driver

prime spear
#

Yo can someone make me the best price to performance build between a 2-3 thousand dollar budget?

With Decent Mouse Keyboard and Monitor. BTW

lyric thistle
#

Dell Optiplex 780 with

#

Dell peripherals

limpid merlin
#

at 2-3k there is no such thing as price to performance

foggy hazel
#

quite wrong

#

an simple 600-800 could easily be used on the monitor(s)

whether it has cache or not

1070 ti and a i9 9900k

#

A 9900k with a 1070 ti?

upper condor
#

Bruh

#

i mean like a 3990X(when it comes out) and like 4 titan rtx cards

upper condor
#

If i have a budget of 1500-1700 to build a pc(for 1080p 144hz until i upgrade) what type if stuff should it have

#

Or rather, how much should i spend on each part

vivid atlas
#

You can get 144 frames on pretty much every games with a 2060Super~ or 5700 (maybe 5600XT) so that’s for the GPU

#

And for a cpu 3600 will do all you need at your price point for your build

upper condor
#

Im planning to upgrade to 1440p 144hz eventually though

#

So it would be nice if i could just but parts for a 1440p 144hz right now

narrow rose
#

2070S

upper condor
#

Or would that cost more than 1500-1700?

vivid atlas
#

2070 super

#

Yeah

#

Umm you’ll be fine

upper condor
#

What cpu?

#

3600 still or 3700

vivid atlas
#

3600 will do the job

#

Yeah that’s right

#

3700 if you need Cores / threads

narrow rose
#

3600 is all you need for gaming

upper condor
#

Na

#

Im just gaming

vivid atlas
#

3600 is all you neeed then

upper condor
#

Non-x right

vivid atlas
#

Non-x is totally fine

upper condor
#

Just get a better cooler yeah

narrow rose
#

stock cooler is fine and can be upgraded later if trying to save

upper condor
#

Na

#

Id rather spend more now

#

Any case recommendations?

vivid atlas
#

You can buy a cooler but it isn’t necessary

upper condor
#

Thats the main problem for ne

vivid atlas
#

There are different options, but usually ones with mesh front are the ones I can recommend

#

What’s the problem with thecooler ?

narrow rose
#

I like odd cases so not the best to ask make sure you have plenty of room for all components also a psu shield on the bottom is nice for cable management

upper condor
#

No i mean finding a good case

vivid atlas
#

Ah

#

I heard great things about Meshify C

upper condor
#

Same

narrow rose
#

the mesh front ones all have great airflow

vivid atlas
#

Don’t get an NZXT case, design is nice but the airflow is really not that great

upper condor
#

Heard that too

vivid atlas
#

Yep

upper condor
#

Ziky the case u have is beautiful

vivid atlas
#

In a 1700 price range you could also buy case fans

upper condor
#

If u have it

vivid atlas
#

Yeah, actually a friend is giving it to me in a few days 🙂

narrow rose
#

that phanteks case is nice looking

vivid atlas
#

But it’s kinda "overkill" for what I’m putting inside

#

😂

#

Big budget build

upper condor
#

Whats going in?

vivid atlas
#

Well I’ll take it since it’s looks nice from the outside

#

I’m planning on building a 2600+1650Super build

narrow rose
#

I love my coolermaster HAF XB EVO cases but they aren't pretty. Excellent airflow, real handles and horizontal mobo mount with removable tray for test benching

upper condor
#

Nilb you work with computers?

#

For a job, at least

narrow rose
#

not really

#

I help design beverage dispensors

#

lol

upper condor
#

You just like having a test bench and testing computer hardware?

narrow rose
#

well I use lots of computers for work and home

upper condor
#

Facts

vivid atlas
narrow rose
#

its nice even for a normal user to be able to lift out the whole mother board without unscrewing anything. but those cases are all function not pretty to look at

upper condor
#

Yeag

#

If im spending over 1k, i want it to look pretty too

narrow rose
#

my main gaming pc is in a thermaltake level 20 xt

upper condor
#

Ill get the obsidian 1000D

#

Half my budget lol

narrow rose
#

lol

#

I like cubes

vivid atlas
#

There are lots of beautiful airflow cases out there on the market I’m sure

upper condor
#

The p400a digital rgb looks nice

narrow rose
#

I can state for a fact the lvl 20xt does not have great airflow but it is huge so that helps

vivid atlas
#

I heard good things about P400A too

upper condor
#

Out of stock rn tho

vivid atlas
#

Everywhere ?

narrow rose
#

thats a little small too

upper condor
#

Gamers nexus loved it a ton

#

For thermals

#

Which is pretty crazy for them

vivid atlas
#

Kinda pricey

upper condor
#

Its usually 100

#

Amazon resellers

narrow rose
#

just be cautious if you want to put a rad in there make sure it fits first

#

its like 69.99 on newegg or at least a version of it

upper condor
#

I swear ive been looking for a good case for over a week

vivid atlas
#

I’ve been looking for a good mobo 🙂

upper condor
#

But its so hard to find a good thermals, nice looking, inexpensive one

vivid atlas
#

There are lots lots lots of options indeed

upper condor
#

For a 2600?

#

Whats the criteria

vivid atlas
#

I’m going to opt for a pro VDH Max

upper condor
#

Good choice

vivid atlas
#

Just ocing a bit, and not burning hot

#

MB

#

That’s all I need

narrow rose
#

2600? why

vivid atlas
#

Even though it’s m-atx it’s a good way to save some bucks

#

Why not ?

#

Can’t afford a 3600

narrow rose
#

but its like $40

upper condor
#

Yeag

vivid atlas
#

?

upper condor
#

Its cheap right now

#

179.99

vivid atlas
#

I’m not in the States 😦

narrow rose
#

2600 = $120 3600 = $160

#

oh 😦

upper condor
#

Oh

vivid atlas
#

$210 where i live

narrow rose
#

well that makes sense at least

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

My b

vivid atlas
#

And 2600 is only $101

#

Kinda strange prices

narrow rose
#

oh well at least thats good

upper condor
#

Ur case is almost 2x more than ur cpu

#

Kek

vivid atlas
