Lets do pm so I can keep it if thats fine

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 5:25 PM

These products support each other correct

upper condor Jan 30, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

Think so

#

Best 1080p 144hz card for cheap?

#

Ultra on less demanding games

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

probably 5700

upper condor Jan 30, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

5700XT would work right

#

@little osprey just realised you got a titan rtx

#

That single piece is worth more than my whole setup will be.

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

ya XT would allow higher settings

#

with the 5700 you would probably have to turn the settings down a bit to like high on modern games

upper condor Jan 30, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Vamps pls donate your titan to me

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

@upper condor its a workstation rig so my cpu is proby worth more than your setup

upper condor Jan 30, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

It barely is

#

Shush

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

3990x upgrade will be tho D :

upper condor Jan 30, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Bruh you're gonna?

#

64 cores thats insane

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

i already have mine paid for at local retailer who getting shipment

dapper sinew Jan 30, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Anyone know about my ram support question

upper condor Jan 30, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

No sorry

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

still looking for new case tho

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

@dapper sinew give me a moment

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

any specific reason for intel?

#

and do you plan on streaming?

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 10:51 PM

#

@little osprey you are the one that posted in #links-and-selfpromotion a number of hours ago ?

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

@little osprey
ryzen has better 1% lows and is cheaper plus a cheaper mobo. unless you are streaming the 5700 XT is better value. kept all your rgb stuff but switched the ram to corsair so you could sync it with your fans, but you can change that back if you'd like although adata doesnt have 3200 speed ram

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/28sgQq

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

@teal bison my Mobo isn't compatible with amd

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

oh i figured you were buying that all new

#

didnt know you already had some of the parts

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

the mobo I'm getting isn't compatible

#

the only hardware/software I have on hand is the storage and os

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

so you have already bought the mobo then?

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

not yet

#

I haven't bought any yet, the storage and os are from my current laptop

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

oh well im saying that the 3600/b450 is better value than the i5/z390

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

true, but then I'd have to get a different Mobo

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

the list i sent has a b450

#

i dont think we are on the same page

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

oh sorry, didn't see the link

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

ooh lol

#

all good lol

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

sorry to butt in, I have a question about the b450 with a 3600. Does the b450 need a bios update to use the 3600?

#

I was looking at the 3600 recently

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

there's a lot of compatibility issues with that build dragocor

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

if the stock is old then yes, but the tomahawk max is guaranteed to have the bios updated

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

A LOT

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

@thorny wing depends on the age of the stock. in general, just ask the retailer about it, they will be happy to tell you.

#

@little osprey nothing weird about those. they are not something to worry about.

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

the red warning isnt correct, and ill try to find a shorter gpu if you need the drive bays

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

ty guys 😄

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

@thorny wing added benefit of asking the retailer is that IF you get sent something that doesnt work (because it has an old bios) you have the answer from the retailer, which helps speed up the return process

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

sometimes PC part picker is wonky about sizes. I fit a H7 with 145mm height in a thermaltake core v1 that supposedly only supports up to 140mm. The website tells me it wont fit, but it does with like ~2mm to spare

#

good point naed

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

because funky things can happen in a warehouse :)

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

warehouses aren't delicate, I've seen 😦

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

consumers underestimate how much of a beating their "precious" parts can take

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

I dropped my ram in its box, I was so scared LOL

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

:)

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

no problems though

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

if you want to see a consumer get white in the face from fear, just slap them with their newly purchased 4tb 2.5inch ssd

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

ooooh I like these m.2 drives a lot, I've only known about them for like a year

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

mind, i am not talking about a m.2 :)

#

and yes, m.2 are nice

#

makes cabling etc much cleaner

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

I know haha, I was so excited to not need extra cables

#

..... there was a seal over the M.2 drive's screw hole that I definitely wasn't smarter than

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

:)

thorny wing Jan 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

I thought for sure that the threads were messed up on the screw, my eyes are getting older

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

:)

little osprey Jan 30, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

if I take an hhd from my laptop that has windows 10 64 bit home on it and put it on a different Mobo, will it still work properly?

#

trying to save money lol

peak hearth Jan 30, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Hey guys, I need some help

#

So, here is the situation

teal bison Jan 30, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

ya it should @little osprey

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

@teal bison @little osprey will he have to update the drivers in safe mode if he plans on booting from it?

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

i wouldnt imagine but i dont really know

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

So, my grandparents need a new PC. They got an old PCGHIA-1021 from who knows when, and asked me to get them a new one. My original plan was to simply build a low-mid range PC so I can game a bit when I'm over visiting them and call it a day, but it ocured me... Is it possible to build a Low Profile PC inside the old Ghia chasis??

#

My main concern is the Mobo and the GPU

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

what are they using it for?

#

i imagine just web browsing and stuff like that

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Mainly video stuff and my younger cousins like to use it as well to try to game a bit

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

but maybe your grandparents are hardcore gamers i dont judge

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

XD

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

what kind of games do the like to play?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

I'm building it more for me and my cousins, and my grandparents know it. And Fortnite is the main one

#

Maybe I'd download a bit of my Steam library so they could try other stuff

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

and what is your budget?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

Don't really have one

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

oh ok so 2080ti and 3990x?

little osprey Jan 31, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

LMAO

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

jk lol

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

Nah, maybe 1500 would be the max

#

But as I said, not trying to build anything fancy

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

ok wow thats a lot more than i was expecting

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

yeah that's a healthy budget lol

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

What I'm most interested in is if I can build it in the old chasis

#

I'm not good at modding

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

USD right? not like Zimbabwe dollars?

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

you can get the mobo into that case, I can't find pictures of the back of it lol

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

USD, yeah

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

unless they're all proprietary

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

i assume they have the sff case?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

So here is the old MOBO and chasis

📎 JPEG_20200130_180724.jpg 📎 JPEG_20200130_180742.jpg

#

Size of original Mobo is 125x70cm

#

Yup, SFF

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

do you know the gpu clearance?

#

on their webpage they have a gpu in it that is 146mm so i assume its probably just over that but idk if they just got a gpu that happened to be small

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

Mine didn't come with a GPU. It has the regular 70mm LP Expansión Slot

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

well i figure we'd upgrade the mobo anyways but is there a way for you to measure the length from one side of the case to the other?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

Useful space looks about 245mm

#

Beyond that is the space for the PSU

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

245? from side to side right?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

Yeah

#

I mean, total is about 380mm, but as I said, the PSU blocks some of that space so the free one is 245

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

ok cool that makes it a lot easier

#

and what framerate/res are you trying to hit?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Not sure. Probably 1080p, 60FPS at Medium

#

Was considering one of the GTX1650 LP GPUs

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

oh really? ok we can definately go a lot lower than 1500 if you want, or if you want to try to get the most performance that you can we can do that too

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

But since I'm not even sure what kind of Mobo I can put in since I don't know if it's mATX or ITX size...

#

1500 was for a new build

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

do you know if that motherboard is proprietary? because if it is you would probably have to do some modding or just get a new case

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

I was considering something like an mATX B450 Mobo, a Ryzen 5 2600X, 16GB kit of RAM, an M.2 SSD, the GTX 1650 Low Profile GPU and a Corsair SF600

G41T-M7 (V1.0)

#

This is the OG mobo

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

ok but you dont mind getting a new case?

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

that mobo is mATX

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

I don't mind a new case. Just thought it would be a fun project to try to build it inside of the old case

#

Yeah, it says it's an mATX but for some reason I have my doubts... It looks more compact than other mATX I've seen

#

Usually mATXs are more square, this is more of a rectangle

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

yeah it looks pretty elongated

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

yeah, it's 225mm x 170mm

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

idk if you can do it without some modding

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

You know, now that I look at the case, it does seem to include the mounting holes for a full 244x244mm mATX

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

oh well that changes everything

#

lol

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

It's just that they were in a hollow part under the 5" bay

#

But they are there, just that the space actually goes below it

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

and do you live in the US?

#

Its alright if you dont want to answer just some parts may not be available/may be more expensive

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

Those 3 mounting holes

#

ahhh

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

tell me what you think

#

oh you wanted an nvme tho

#

ill put that in the list

#

also do you want new fans?

thorny wing Jan 31, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

get some RGB for grandma and grandpa :P

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

lol

#

some corsair icues

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Live in Mexico. I'm used to parts being way more expensive, but lately we've been getting them at more reasonable

#

Fans are the only thing I'm worried. It only has an 80mm fan space, tho the whole GPU part is meshed on the side so it can pull fresh air from there

#

I like iCUE, my home PC is corsair themed

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

so it can only hold 1 fan?

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

(little cheating secret, I'm considering buying a Ryzen 5 3600 and using my 2600 for this new PC)

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

lol i mean it would work

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

Yeah, only one fan, but a lot of mesh like EVERYWHERE

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

do you have the 1600 AF available over there? or are you just going to give them your 2600?

#

it retails for $85 but i dont think it is in mexico

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

I was planning on I clouding the 3600X in the To-Buy list of the new PC, keep it, and give them my 2600 after upgrading my MOBO bios to be able to run the 3600X

go like RMx 550w

theres no case in the list and I just clicked on it soooo

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 1:04 AM

and it was the cheapest one that had a good rating in the psu tier list

other than the gold version which was $2 cheaper

stoic island Jan 31, 2020, 1:06 AM

well
I go in chat
I click pcpp link
I critique

thats the ASRock board with updated bios right

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

well its kinda complicated but he will be using that board with a 2600

stoic island Jan 31, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

ahhh

#

I should prob find context first

#

theres a 50$ asrock b450 board tho?

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

basically this parts list is for his family members and he wants to upgrade his cpu from the 2600 so he will just give that to him

#

the hdv rev 4?

sorry gotta go

stoic island Jan 31, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

yea

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

The PC part looks good, tho I would change the M.2 to 500 since I already got in this PC a 1TB 7200RPM. And that GPU is not Low Profile, but the one I saw it's also on 160USD so it doesn't matter in price

stoic island Jan 31, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

that m.2 isnt nvme :p

#

could go for a 512gb nvme m.2

peak hearth Jan 31, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Yeah, I know. The thing is, the PC is for my grandparents for normal stuff in the week, and for me and my cousins to game a bit on the weekends we go to visit them, so I don't want to invest thaaaaat much where I don't need it

#

If it were my PC, yeah, NVME without a doubt

stoic island Jan 31, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

ick why is nvme drives so expensive

thick helm Jan 31, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

Is the aurous b450 or the Asus tuf b450 motherboard better?

upbeat slate Jan 31, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

Plugged in usb which lights up for a second or two. Ethernet thing on mobo also blinks when plugged in

#

PC wont start after I changed case. All the parts are same. Any ideas for trouble shooting?

stoic island Jan 31, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

make sure all the cables are plugged in correctly
(bc changing case usually means relocating PSU)

upbeat slate Jan 31, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

They are. I'm unscrewing mobo right now to see if case came with metal standoff already installed or not. Hopefully not cause i found some in the screws bag

Nvm that. They're already there

@teal bison Corsair PSU is a bit better, but idk if it's worth the extra over this EVGA

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

yeah now that i look at it i would agree. going off of the psu list, its in the same tier as the corsair. earlier i was looking for supernova, not gm so i didnt even find it on the list so i didnt want to recommend a potentially harmful psu

cursive wharf Jan 31, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

I mean so long as you know what you're doing G3 wont hurt you

#

Two protections that wont go off if you do dumb stuff

#

like load 800w on a 550w PSU

#

G5 just has bad performance for the price

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

ok good to know

cursive wharf Jan 31, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

But yeah, I very rarely recommend EVGA standard size as their pricing tbh isnt good. SFX has a good price tho

teal bison Jan 31, 2020, 5:03 AM

what do you think about their BR psus?

cursive wharf Jan 31, 2020, 5:06 AM

Thermaltake NiC CPU cooler
Asrock phantom gaming matx mobo
16 gb ddr4 2666MHz ram

250 gb ssd 1tb hdd

Probably like $450

#

-550

latent bronze Jan 31, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

@little osprey 375 to 450

#

550 would be a little too much for that since there are people that could spend about the same thing but have a Ryzen 5 1600 with a RX 580 for about that much and would perform better

#

Got to remember that the GTX 980 non Ti model performs just like the GTX 1060 6gb/RX 580

so my dual slot gpu covers my pcie x1 slot, and i was wanting to upgrade from a USB wifi adapter to something a bit more well equipped. I would like to use a x1 riser and mount the WiFi card lower, but im not entirely sure if this is the way to go, or if theres a better solution.

latent bronze Jan 31, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

@little osprey fix those cables and also i hope you're using a SSD for the main drive

#

The way those cables are right now could block important airflow and yes i can see them well

finally, theres my build

latent bronze Jan 31, 2020, 4:01 PM

If you are only gaming you won't need a NVMe

#

there is really no performance difference in gaming between sata and nvme

stray pine Jan 31, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

i went with a 500gb nvme a 500gb ssd and i got a 1tb hdd

latent bronze Jan 31, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

i have a 240gb, 480gb, 1tb SSD and a 2TB SSHD

#

240 for OS and apps, 480 for little and light games, 1tb for Steam and demanding games and 2tb for files

#

Minimum now a days for boost would be 240gb

#

i used 120gb once and really it fills up fast

#

If using Ryzen 2000 series with a B450 board you can use StoreMI and merge the 120gb SSD with your 1tb HDD

stray pine Jan 31, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

so does the hybrid drive doe what it says?

#

work?

latent bronze Jan 31, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

pretty much you would have the mass storage but when playing games it would use the SSD

#

Hybrids drives are pretty good they are a step below a SSD of course but last longer than a HDD

stray pine Jan 31, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

i was thinking baout getting the seagate firecuda gaming one. but i was unsure

latent bronze Jan 31, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

YouTube StoreMI for more information about it cause i only know so much

#

All of my hard drives that i consider dying are at 60%

cheap x570 mind you has no RGB

I really like the look of the mobo I have now but it comes down to if I want better looks or performance 😫

cursive wharf Feb 1, 2020, 6:22 AM

I mean you dont have to switch it out. Should be fine for whatever you need it to do. While there is a "perf increase" so to speak, no standard consumer will notice it. As for x570 that's like PCIe Gen4 or better VRMs to OC a 3950x, something else, etc

Ah sweet

As long as there is no noticeable problems with performance I am fine

any reason that you are spending that much on things that wont make a difference?

also, and please dont take this the wrong way, but IF you are a tiny bit serious about the music part

get an actual pair of headphones.

And no lol it's like Finale music not fruit loops rapper type thing. Like sheet music for a band lol

foggy hazel Feb 1, 2020, 8:05 PM

does not matter what the music is for

even off-key nursery rhymes deserve headphones instead of gaming headsets (imo)

but the music part is the smallest thing

you got the ability to join the voice chat?

#

that is your preference :)

fresh summit Feb 2, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

not too bad but if you dont care about astetics

#

yeah

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

performance first, then visuals

#

is what i go by

fresh summit Feb 2, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

yeah

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

mind, i dont do windows or lights

#

i have better things to use the budgets for my machines on :)

#

Can somebody help me create the most unbalanced PC ever ?

#

:3 I'm talking completely unreasonable hardware

fresh summit Feb 2, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

you dont do windows i get no rgb but no windows

#

yeah i guess they can put a diffrence on the overall price

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

@fresh summit i work/play on the machines. windows serve no purpose.

fresh summit Feb 2, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

yeah i just think its a cool idea

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

agreed 100% @fresh summit

#

IF i was doing a visual build, i would absolutely use a case with a window

fresh summit Feb 2, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

yeah

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

@olive kraken for what use?

olive kraken Feb 2, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

I just want unreasonable stuff

#

Like AMD CPU with Intel GPU

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

nope, cannot help you. there is paint i have to watch dry.

Help I finished my pc build but it says this for compatibility

Note:The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.

#

What's a better compatible psu ?

woven horizon Feb 2, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

what cpu and how much overclocking are you planning

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

Heres my build

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/FQBBhg

#

And probably wont overclock much or rarely

little osprey Feb 2, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

that's enough

woven horizon Feb 2, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

you dont need it most 1000w psus have that extra cable

#

i have the mpg gaming edge wifi x570 and dont use it. My friend has the b450 pro carbon and he didnt need to use it

cursive wharf Feb 2, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

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

#

So you don't need the extra 4 pin

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

Ok so my build is clear and good to run smoothly and properly without it ?

woven horizon Feb 2, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

yes youre good

#

corsair 220t is a cheaper case and it basically a mesify c

#

and you get 3 corsair sp120 fans

cursive wharf Feb 2, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

Deepcool has much cheaper cases

#

Then get upHere RGB fans

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

Is it cheaper? I dont care much for rgb all I want is great airflow

#

And easy cable management

woven horizon Feb 2, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

uphere fans failed after 2 months results may vary

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:06 AM

Meshify c was recommended to me for airflow

I have the fans off.

cursive wharf Feb 2, 2020, 2:07 AM

Also I'd probably get a 3700x and spend the excess money on a better cpu cooler

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Cuz my desktop is gonna be on the floor and no looked at lol

#

3800x comee with stock cooler which I'm told is sufficient enough o.o

cursive wharf Feb 2, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

It is adequate, but not great

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

@covert crypt if you are not overclocking, you are wasting a LOT of money on that mainboard [edit:spelling]

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

I will be overclocking just not often

little osprey Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

it's sufficient in the same way pasta with no sauce is sufficient

little osprey Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

sufficient

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

well, IF you are going to be oc'ing, then where is the cooler for that?

little osprey Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

in the sense that it just happens to work

woven horizon Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

itll make a turd

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

because you are not going to get anywhere on the stock cooler.

cursive wharf Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

I wouldn't say it's that bad, but to an extent

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

I have a hyper evo 212 in my closet

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 2:09 AM

Is it enough or a better or out there xD

That was harsh

i do NOT like the evo 212.

foggy hazel Feb 2, 2020, 2:10 AM

it is way overpriced and way way overrated

covert crypt Feb 2, 2020, 2:10 AM

Itll fit all my parts in the case I hope lol

cursive wharf Feb 2, 2020, 2:10 AM

Yeah, but if you have an old one laying around to replace some stock coolers it isn't that bad

Hi everyone, newegg chat sent me here, 1 quick question for MOBO memory standard spec: DDR3 2400+(O.C.)/ 2100/ 1866/ 1800*/ 1600*/ 1333/ 1066 does that mean i can only use ram sticks without the OC* ?

#

thanks for your help, i really appreciate it

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

@little osprey There are people on here that would buy used parts for really cheap and resell it as a whole build for a little more

#

like someone could build a decent system for esports games and spend like 300$ but end up building it and sell it for like 400$ so you'd make a 100$ profit and then keep doing it to make a little more back

@main carbon the only way something would be bad if you had or was thinking of buying a Core 2 Quad Q9550 or a Athlon X4 845 and wanted to pair it up with a RX 5600 XT

Just got to point this out https://i.gyazo.com/28651602b667cefe32d54015a44f1c5d.png

#

@subtle halo You can see in this the overclocked cores is what makes the 5600 XT almost as good as the 2060 😛

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

yes

waiting to order more parts to finish my new build. Graphics card and monitors will currently stay the same, but looking to upgrade them in the near future. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DqmtK4 which would you upgrade first, graphics card or monitors? I mainly play games (Tarkov, Overwatch, Rust, cod) & watch movies on them

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:50 PM

the 2 5600 XT he tested as well is this one https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-5600-xt-11296-01-20g/p/N82E16814202365?&quicklink=true

#

@tropic shale Got to ask why did you get 3 60hz monitors?

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

the driver is not fixed yet

#

there might be more improvment

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Tomie it is not a driver thing though

tropic shale Feb 2, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

I got 2, and was given a 3rd monitor while doing some website design. Just kind of stuck with it. @latent bronze

#

The AOC wasnt intended but came in handy, lol.

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

we can install 5700xt bios on our 5700 and oc it to beat 5700xt stock score. ... 60c-65c

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

When people like Hardware Unboxing would do these tests they find the most stable one they don't always use the up to date drivers

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

if 2060 oc maybe it could be higher

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

the 2060 in that graph is base clocks same with the 1660 Super

#

overall for the vbios that is something you have to do on your own AMD wont provide that

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

just use gpu-z save bios

#

unlock the card then flash it

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

and if you get a black screen then what?

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

you can go back

#

or play with oc

#

until u get stable ones

#

jay2cents already did it.. and he beat the stock

#

of 5700xt

#

few hundreds away

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

with the 5700 yes but with the 5600 XT that is a different story

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

yeah

#

i dont have it so.. xD hahah good luck for those 5600xt users ❤️

#

those comes from failed 5700 xD and so 5700 comes from dead 5700xt

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

Lot of people that cares about people actually gives out a disclaimer to use at your own risk and what are the possible causes for the 5600 XT Vbios update/change

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

i like how 5600xt first lunch had dual bios

makes me jelly

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 2:58 PM

new gpu like this. must use new driver because theres always improvement from Footnotes.. like Playing Warcraft®️ III: Reforged now it increase from 211.1 to 234.9 FPS

and there is a model that is already sold out

kinda lucky now i dont have those blackscreen and shutdown issues.

There is a YouTuber by the name RandomGameinginHD which he only gets black screens for certain games in HDMI 1080p but when he goes for DP 1440p it is working fine

#

yeah thats sad maybe ports are bad or the driver makes it look like bad

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:03 PM

He is thinking it is a driver issue so he is going to hold onto the card

to hold into this card

we bought parts yesterday

just 2700 build.. with mortar max mobo...

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:06 PM

I am only buying that because one it is affordable for me and two my board has a RGB header and not a ARGB header

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

at stock bios the g skill works

#

at 3200

#

then after update

#

it only runs 2993

#

else it wont boot

#

but vengance pro 3200 works

#

on stock not.. but on updated one its fine

#

xD

#

weird

#

i know 2nd gens are bound to 2993 .. the maximum oc i seen on 2nd gen is 3600 at r 5 2400g xD from acientgameplay yt

yeah its fine

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

If for gaming it is perfect

especially 1080p gaming

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 3:10 PM

for gaming your losing a lot of frame on dota 2 if you use 5700xt on that cpu

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:10 PM

But Dota 2 there isn't much people on here that plays it

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

yeah

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

Majority i would see people wanting a system for games like Apex, Fortnite, CoD MW and maybe Tomb Raider

#

so a system like what i just slapped out there would be perfect for all those games

#

oh for the Tomb Raider games would be maxed out over 60 fps

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

when i tried 2400g + 5700 on apex

#

the reason it lags

#

because the grass

#

grass render too slow

#

xD

#

i hope they fix it

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

That is more a GPU issue

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

but on 3600

#

its fine

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

my cousin plays Apex with a R5 1400 and a GTX 1650 Super and it runs smooth like butter

always between 70 and 90 fps

i was so desperate to do modding on apex when i use my old cpu 2400g

#

like no grass mod

becaue its so sad

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

R5 1400 is weaker than a 2400G as well

subtle halo Feb 2, 2020, 3:14 PM

its freezing like hell

its fine

aslong u dong run away

it can be oc easily from what i understand to 2600 levels tho

#

but like its just barely weaker

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

about 5% weaker

eager dust Feb 2, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

It's basically on par, uses same process as 2600 I think only difference is memory controller if I'm not mistaken or something small that makes it little bit weaker in some scenarios

#

But it's supposed to be $85 vs $120-$130 for 2600 so

#

1600 AF superior on a tight budget

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

But 5% weaker is not on par

#

also right now the 1600 AF is selling for 100$

#

85 was the MSRP really

eager dust Feb 2, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

basically on par
Because it's only 5% weaker in some scenarios not consistently 5% weaker

#

And yes that's true but it's just a waiting thing, price probably upped based on buzz

#

Trending on Newegg at the moment as a search term

latent bronze Feb 2, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

It won't drop cause of high demand which is why now the 2700 is like 150$

#

more people going after the 1600 AF so they decided make the 2700 cheaper so people would go for that

eager dust Feb 2, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

2700 and 2600 well priced right now compared to the inflated 1600
