#

xD

#

00000000000000

sacred obsidian
#

did you try turning it off and back on tho

subtle halo
#

its grounded cant boot if 570 is on slot

#

grounded and shorted

sacred obsidian
#

oof

#

shouldnt have tried launching crysis

subtle halo
#

xD

#

but challenge accepted

sacred obsidian
#

lol

subtle halo
#

hahha

#

that 570 is kinda pricy version its from asus

sacred obsidian
#

the one you had?

#

on sale 😄

subtle halo
#

its asus expedition

sacred obsidian
#

oof

#

well, the 5700 xt is better

subtle halo
#

it was 195$ on that time

latent bronze
#

You know Crysis 2 is a port from the PS3 and 360

sacred obsidian
#

theres a lot of games that are ports from ps3 and 360 lol

subtle halo
#

the 8gb version

#

guys suggest gba games hhaha

latent bronze
#

Well Crysis 2 was the only one from that company that did it on console first instead of PC first

subtle halo
#

n64 and psp games

latent bronze
#

That is why they made sure for Crysis 3 it would be PC first

#

GBA: Pokemon games
N64: Mario and Zelda
PSP: Crisis Core FF VII

sacred obsidian
#

crisis core: ff7

#

oh

#

uh

#

legend of heroes is good

subtle halo
#

i like to fill 32gb sd card on my rg350. someone created a diablo 1 on rg 350 multiplayer enabled.. via lan hahah xD

sacred obsidian
#

for psp

subtle halo
#

noted

sacred obsidian
#

on n64, conkers bad fur day is hella fun

#

but its very mature game

#

gba, the legend of zelda: minish cap all the way

subtle halo
#

omg

#

i google conkers bad fur day

#

xD

sacred obsidian
#

its amazin

subtle halo
#

too gore

sacred obsidian
#

top game of our generation

subtle halo
#

but fun

sacred obsidian
#

nah its perf

#

so many pop culture references

latent bronze
#

Crisis Core is the best game on the PSP

sacred obsidian
#

agreed

subtle halo
#

let me see if i had pokemon gba already.. some games are pre installed

latent bronze
#

Ill be honest most of the main main character for final fantasy games i don't like

sacred obsidian
#

i know its not going to happen but i want a silent release of crisis core HD like they did with type 0

latent bronze
#

Didn't like Cloud didn't like Squall didn't like that little monkey boy (forgot his name) and i didn't like Tidus

sacred obsidian
#

i loved cloud, couldnt get into squal, loved tidus although not his laugh, i loved the dude from 9

subtle halo
#

some of this emulators i dont know xD if worthy to try

latent bronze
#

Just don't like the characters that thinks they can do everything on their own

sacred obsidian
#

like zack?

latent bronze
#

Zack was a different story cause he didn't have anyone to back him up

sacred obsidian
#

he had his mentor in the beginning and then cloud, plus the suit guys

latent bronze
#

Remember he was sent out on missions alone and when there would be someone they would be like "i am going on up ahead ill meet you there"

sacred obsidian
#

also tidus didnt think he could do it on his own

#

tidus was very much part of the team kinda dude lol

latent bronze
#

Tidus didn't want to do anything really

sacred obsidian
#

did you beat that game

latent bronze
#

i have FFX on my Switch and i replayed it and really he is like a loner

#

He only started to make friends with people cause he was in a world he didn't know anymore

sacred obsidian
#

i need to replay ffx lol

latent bronze
#

It is like if i sent you 100 years in the future you would be confused and would have to rely only people you just met

sacred obsidian
#

when it goes on sale ima buy it on steam

latent bronze
#

Also going back to Crisis Core Angeal was doing his own thing the turks was doing their own thing and Cloud was being like a wuss

subtle halo
#

theres 3d0 emulator, atari st, nds,dos,arcade machine, nes,famicom, gbc,gb,gba,genesis,intellivision,apple iigs, wonderswan, sony psp/ps1, megadrive,genesis,snes,pc-engine ,amiga 500,zx-spectrum, commodor,neogeo,n64,msx,zerox86

i dont even know what some of those are haha.. i know gba psp n64

latent bronze
#

FFX/X-2 goes on sale more often on the Switch than on Steam

sacred obsidian
#

i know most of those but i wouldnt try 3ds, or ds emulators on pc

#

theyre hellish to control

#

yeh but id rather have it on pc

latent bronze
#

I have it for PS2, PC and Switch and i prefer playing it on the Switch

sacred obsidian
#

i have it on ps2 lol

#

but i dont have my ps2 hooked up

#

its in storage

subtle halo
#

ds had two screens right?

sacred obsidian
#

yes

#

on emulator you control touch stream with mouse

latent bronze
subtle halo
#

i wonder what happen if it try to play that on this rg350 xD haha half screen maybe xD also mouse moving i guess. kinda hard

latent bronze
#

Raspberry Pi is behind my TV

subtle halo
#

i can map the analog ones maybe to act as a mouse

#

nc

sacred obsidian
#

this was mine like 6 or 7 years ago

#

ive added but its the only pic i have of most of my consoles

#

and dont worry they have been dusted since then

#

oh and thats my super old gaming pc on the left O:

latent bronze
#

Most of my older consoles are in boxes cause i don't have a tube TV anymore

subtle halo
#

yay

#

to much consoles

sacred obsidian
#

i just had em hooked up to my flat screen xD

latent bronze
#

i tried playing SNES and NES on a modern TV doesn't feel the same

sacred obsidian
#

but also on that desk to the left

#

there was a tube tv

#

alright ima go make me some breakfast

subtle halo
#

how much is it all?

latent bronze
#

If you were to buy all those consoles now would be about 600$ in total

#

700 at most

subtle halo
#

how about their first retail price?

latent bronze
#

You mean when they came out?

#

If that is what you mean then about 2000$ (2500$ at most) total

#

When the NES first launched it was like 150$

sacred obsidian
#

I priced checked in 2014 and everything I had came out to about 5600 (with games) and I’ve added a lot since then

sacred obsidian
#

but also prices might have dropped on a lot of things. im pretty sure conker is a lot cheaper than back then lol

foggy hazel
#

do remember inflation.

sacred obsidian
#

oh i looked it up cause i considered selling off my collection to buy other things lol

#

not to compare prices now and at release

latent talon
#

@foggy hazel question for you. Using the 2080 graphics card. Is a gsync monitor better or freesync

foggy hazel
#

IF you want to play to the strength of the card (and the tech), technically it is the g-sync route

#

@latent talon :)

latent bronze
#

Also if he has the money for it

latent talon
#

@foggy hazel thank you so much

#

I'm a poor man @latent bronze currently eating shipping peanuts

latent bronze
#

i am not rich as well so

cursive wharf
#

gsync is technically better quality, but wont always be better

#

depends on monitor

latent bronze
#

When using FreeSync you do have to do some modifications as well

cursive wharf
#

you do?

latent bronze
#

mainly in the nvidia control panel

cursive wharf
#

My experience with freesync is just like using gsync

#

Nvidia control panel and turn on gsync (even if freesync)

latent bronze
#

Also enabling Vsync on from it

cursive wharf
#

never had to do that

latent bronze
#

I need a newer monitor cause mine has FreeSync but no DP

cursive wharf
#

hdmi freesync then?

latent bronze
#

doesn't work with Nvidia

#

has to be by DP

cursive wharf
#

oof. unfortunate

latent bronze
#

Well that is why i am getting one that is 75hz and found out i could like overclock the monitor to have it at 87hz

foggy hazel
#

@latent talon you are very welcome :)

latent bronze
#

the one i have now is 60hz but can be overclocked to 72hz

#

I would go for 144hz but also i would need more money for that

#

75hz but IPS

#

total cost is 203$

#

cause of tax

cursive wharf
#

Yee. Nice

latent bronze
#

Well for most of my games i play anyways i tend to get a max of 90 fps cause most of them are demanding story games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider

#

The only 2 games i play that is not demanding is Destiny 2 and Blade & Soul

cursive wharf
#

yeah, most games I play wont get above 100FPS cuz im doing 1440x3440

#

which is what my monitor runs at, 100hz

foggy hazel
#

how are you finding that aspect ratio @cursive wharf ?

cursive wharf
#

Tis is nice. I dont play a whole lot of games but so far only one has decided to be annoying. That was Plagues Tale. Had to go into a Hex editor to change some hidden settings for aspect ratio

foggy hazel
#

ok

#

panel etc is working out for you?

cursive wharf
#

Yeah. Ended up being the cheapest QHD ultrawide I could get, MSI Optix MAG341CQ. VA panel is a slight downfall. Notice some ghosting / smearing. However that is mostly during extreme scenarios. Like my black pfp on Discord's grey background, scrolling around I can see some ghosting / smearing. Average gaming tho I dont notice it. Unless I try to read text when moving around fast (which is basically never)

#

Some other guy on the LTT server has it, doesnt notice anything. So idk the average amount of people that'd notice it

foggy hazel
#

fair enough

shrewd trout
#

Hey Hei how much were those if don’t mind me asking?

#

I’m personally running three 1440p LG monitors their pretty good about $380 a piece though

foggy hazel
#

@shrewd trout iirc, that monitor had a 500 usd msrp, and it hovers between 400 and 500

shrewd trout
#

That’s not bad for an ultra wide I was was thinking of running the Alienware one but but opted out and got the three 27” LGs

foggy hazel
#

the ultrawides have one big advantage, lack of bezels

#

yours can be more practical for work

#

the 16:10/9 monitors are also able to be used in pivot, unlike the ultrawides :)

latent bronze
#

ultrawide is 16:20/21 is it not?

foggy hazel
#

21:9/10 [edit: 10]

shrewd trout
#

These are “bezel less” obviously not truly but not that noticeable compared to Most 27” monitors mine are on a triple monitor mount, this was actually my first ever pc build I’ve been a console gamer for a while it’s proving difficult to adjust.

foggy hazel
#

which monitor model is it you have @shrewd trout ?

shrewd trout
#

LG 27GL83A-B 27 Inch Ultragear QHD IPS 1ms NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible Gaming Monitor, Black

foggy hazel
#

ah yes, those

#

yes, they are close to bezel free on the sides and the top

#

however, for a pivot setup? they are infuriating

#

because of that bottom bezel

shrewd trout
#

The mount helps pivot them however you want, well at least that’s how I solved that problem.

foggy hazel
#

mind, i am fully aware that is a personal preference thing :)

#

its not that making them pivot that is hard, that is trivial on any vesa mountable monitor [edit: spelling]

#

it is more that if you pivot all 3... two of them are nice, and then "bam" bezel to the face

shrewd trout
#

Ah yes true I am running them horizontally to avoid that.

foggy hazel
#

aye aye :)

#

as i mentioned, it IS a personal preference :)

shrewd trout
#

What experience do you you have with the 49” monitors? Good?

#

(For later reasons)

foggy hazel
#

for content consumption they would be nice enough

#

for work? unless very specific needs, i would not want it on my most annoying colleague

shrewd trout
#

I was wondering for movies and gaming.

foggy hazel
#

when you get to a certain size (depending on your preference ofc) distance from corner to corner will force you to move back

#

which adds other restraints/challenges to using it

shrewd trout
#

Makes sense

foggy hazel
#

currently, you are turning your neck to watch the left most monitor right?

#

as in, if you want to focus on the content

shrewd trout
#

Give or take

foggy hazel
#

that for me is not acceptable

#

i want my private monitor setups to be viewable without having to watch a tennis match

shrewd trout
#

Well it’s been fun but time for me to go to work talk later.

foggy hazel
#

enjoy

cursive wharf
#

@shrewd trout I got it for 550 CAD while on sale. $412.5 USD

dreamy iron
#

Phanteks p400a or Fractal Design Meshify C?

#

I'm tryna get good thermals while keeping my build looking nice

foggy hazel
#

@dreamy iron whichever one you like the look of more.

#

it is your choice what you value the most.

teal bison
#

Wow the 1600 af price just keeps rising. It's up to 110 now

foggy hazel
#

which makes sense .. when you consider the intended market for it

#

it was supposed to be a "silent" cpu die replacement

#

now that the copy-paste-build-warriors have done the job , that will make PR departments and finance departments smile very widely, it is ofc time to raise the price.

crystal siren
#

I just ordered the be quiet dark rock slim

#

Yeet

daring nexus
#

For people who have built their gaming setup under $800, what are your specs in your rig?

cinder vault
teal bison
#

For 800 you could probably get like a 3600/5700 build

little osprey
#

mine is a 5700 xt i7 9700kf, which is only 150$ off from a 5700/3600 build and mine was a lot more than 950$

#

you would have to go full conservative on other parts

cursive wharf
#

no....

#

The CPU alone is $150 off
EDIT: Is actually $180 difference

#

GPU is $70 off

cloud acorn
#

I'd go either 3600/cheapx570 or just go super cheap 2500k /z77 /4x4 ddr3 for $100 then get a $500 gpu lol

cursive wharf
#

but yes, $800 for a 3600+5700 build is pushing it

foggy hazel
#

by about 200 if you want parts that you actually want

#

sorry, 100

teal bison
#

Yai actually tried to part it out and realized I was like 150 off lol

foggy hazel
#

73 off

#

but, 100 off would be a more sensible ssd and/or 5700 model

cursive wharf
foggy hazel
#

aye

#

but that is the realm of "dont want the parts"

#

mind, the build i linked is made with an eye towards the future

#

you could cut the ram to 2 * 4

#

you could cut the case to something horrid

daring nexus
#

Thanks for the insight. So I guess my next question is if I'm looking to have the Ryzen 7 2700X, would I need the Thunderbolt 3 port to be part of the motherboard or the graphics card?

I'm looking at the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC AC AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard... But I'm not sure it has Thunderbolt 3? It's really hard for me to tell if this is USB C gen1 or gen2...

Unless... There's an alternative that has Thunderbolt 3, Bluetooth Wifi 5, 64GB RAM support.

foggy hazel
#

what do you think you need the TB3 port for?

cloud acorn
#

wifi 5 ghz ? or wifi 6, little reason to seek the later on built in modules

foggy hazel
#

@daring nexus

#

see above

daring nexus
#

Wifi 5 (as in just WiFi AC). And TB3 just in case of future gaming components I would be developing for (I believe VR might gear towards TB3 soon. I know external graphics cards require TB3).

#

@foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

hmm

#

where to start on that

#

usb-c and its eventual replacement is where i would look instead

#

not tb3

#

and IF you are doing game dev work. It makes sense to go for something slightly different in specs. (but that is an aside)

cloud acorn
#

It gets a little complicated differentiating usb 3.0 gen 2 type c vs 2.0/3.0 gen x type c connector vs gen2 type c connector that also supports thunderbolt 3 spec

#

TBF - whoever is in charge of naming changed their mind 2-3 times I think lol

foggy hazel
#

tb is getting rolled into usb for spec 4

#

you have to remember that @cloud acorn

cloud acorn
#

good, I loved seeing micro usb go extinct

foggy hazel
#

the point i am trying to make @daring nexus is that you cannot get everything at that budget

#

you kinda can, but it is not going to be "nice" to work with

#

(also, in the future, when asking for build suggestions, please state your intended use case :) )

cloud acorn
#

Could go with something as old as z-170 + 6600k/7700k - but those chips are really overpriced used imo

foggy hazel
#

no, just no.

sudden turret
#

wife has 6600k in her pc

foggy hazel
#

which is a 200-ish usd board

#

that is without a google

sudden turret
#

thunderbolt and lightning

#

very very frightening

foggy hazel
#

mind, it is a lovely board, but ... unless you really really actually NEED it.

#

just dont.

#

i think @daring nexus that you might want to have a serious think about what you actually need. So that you dont buy a system that is based on "wants" disguised as "needs"

#

and yes, i am fully aware that this is a bit of a letdown, to be told that you have to go back and rethink your plans. But so far, there is nothing in what you have said that convinces me you "need" any of this.

#

and since i am not here to cuddle you, but here to give advice on what fits what you need.

#

tough luck :)

vestal cove
daring nexus
#

@foggy hazel Sorry, My intended use is for game design and video editing (4K, hopefully 8K in the future). I really appreciate the help. I guess you're right and I will avoid it for now.

foggy hazel
#

nothing to be sorry about @daring nexus

#

it is just easier to try and cut the bs :)

#

do you have the ability to raise the budget?

edgy oasis
#

What is the cheapest build you've ever seen?

foggy hazel
#

@vestal cove you like overpaying for stuff?

sacred obsidian
#

I have a 10$ pc on my shelf

#

rasp pi zero 😄

edgy oasis
#

Lol oh

sacred obsidian
#

5$ for pi, 5$ for micro sd card, bam, 10$ pc

#

the one i actually use was about 50 bucks lol

teal bison
#

I bet it runs csgo at like 240 fps

edgy oasis
#

csgo actually runs the rasp pi zero

sacred obsidian
#

lol the one i actually use is a rasp pi 3b+

edgy oasis
#

I've built my own pc's in the past. I'm looking at building a budget gaming server for a small lan network.

#

Any resources or ideas?

sacred obsidian
#

uh to specifically use as a server? no

foggy hazel
#

@edgy oasis second hand parts

sacred obsidian
#

but a budget pc? depends on your budget

foggy hazel
#

as many high speed cores as you can get and as much ram as you can get

#

paired with a decent psu

sacred obsidian
#

oh yeah you can build a server pc pretty cheap if you get older used parts off ebay

foggy hazel
#

and you are just about set

sacred obsidian
#

but im not knowledgable enough to do it xD

#

in a couple years ima build a server rack >:U

edgy oasis
#

Ah. Sounds simple enough. Lol, probably need to buy a box fan

foggy hazel
#

and if you are willing to ignore the look of the case, a second hand server rack compatible case can usually be picked up for very cheap

#

(normally with a big dent in it)

#

but you dont really care about that

edgy oasis
#

I don't know much about server racks, but can said dent be hammered out?

sacred obsidian
#

proly but it wont look much better

foggy hazel
#

aye, it could, it would normally be a dent that makes mounting the case in a rack difficult/annoying

#

hence why it is being sold

#

but, since you dont have a rack, it doesnt matter for you

#

make sense?

edgy oasis
#

Ah. So I'd have to use some of my engineering skills and mechanics

foggy hazel
#

aye

edgy oasis
#

Hammer, grinder, some spray paint, good to go. Drill some new screw holes

foggy hazel
#

the holes are only IF you need to mount it in a rack

#

do remember that

#

and if you get a 2U+ case, there are quite often handles on the front of it

edgy oasis
#

Fancy

foggy hazel
#

with that said, if you want to have a longer chat about it, come back at least 5 hours earlier tomorrow

#

:)

#

because i am out for the night (should have been out 2 hours ago) :)

edgy oasis
#

Sounds good cheers!

vestal cove
#

@foggy hazel I do

#

I really do

#

I like to be in debt😎

#

I changed the mono

#

Mobo*

daring nexus
#

As of right now, I am working with what I have money-wise since my gaming laptop MoBo just died on its own (which graphics card and stuff soldiered as is standard). @foggy hazel

#

As for motherboards, I noticed that the part number seems to be the same with different brands attached.

Are there noticeable differences between: Gigabyte B450, B450M, MSI B450, ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS?

Note: I stream and want to take advantage of the monitors Freesync/G-Sync capability

swift fern
#

@lime forge thank you

lime forge
#

no problem

latent bronze
lime forge
#

never heard of that brand

latent bronze
#

It is one of the oldest brands

#

They're the company that makes the Arctic MX-4

swift fern
#

@latent bronze is it quiet? I'd be adding money to get the RGB. Was hoping to eventually get Corsair affiliation

#

And side note if I upgrade the GPU later on I'm thinking 2070super/80/80ti

latent bronze
#

they're pretty quiet and also there are always options on coolers like you don't need to spend 160$ on one

#

@swift fern one major thing i would replace in that build that you own is the SSD cause 120gb is too small

swift fern
#

I plan to get the 2tb intel m.2 once it's finished

#

@latent bronze

latent bronze
#

All honesty if you're just gaming you don't really to go with a NVMe

cursive wharf
#

except SSD is kinda cheap. Still usable tho

Alright so basically,
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming
ASUS GTX 1060 6GB OC
16GB DDR4 3200mhz V-Color Prism mk2
1TB HHD and 500gb Boot Hard Drive.

My CPU is overclocked to about 8% (4.0ghz) and my cpu temp went up to 65 when its normally at 40-45, is there a better cooling solution i could go with, my game crashed while i was playing VRChat and the only visible issue was my CPU temps

latent bronze
#

apparently he owns the hyper 212

#

If it is 65c on idle i would go for another cooler if you are playing games for like 4 hours non stop

little osprey
#

At idle with no games running it stays around 45

#

When i was playing games like GTA and battlefield it would go up to about 50-52

#

But yesterday was the first time i had that happen to me

latent bronze
#

If it is going at 65c while gaming that is like nothing still

#

worry when it goes to like 95 to 100c while gaming

little osprey
#

Vrchat is cpu intensive from what i was told

latent bronze
#

@little osprey If i recall your CPU can handle up to 100c but it is not advised to always be on that temp

little osprey
#

Ah alright

#

But just in case, would you have any recommendations i could have for better cooling than the prism cooler it comes with?

#

Ill be switching to a bigger case pretty soon anyway so ill be able to fit another fan or two

latent bronze
#

I would of dropped in the one Hei mentioned but it would be similar to the Wraith Prism

little osprey
#

I dig it, Thanks for the recc.

latent bronze
#

np

#

The cooler master one i plan on getting for myself

little osprey
#

is this a good case or is it garbage

latent bronze
#

I wouldn't go with that

xbox has their own product for wireless

@daring nexus the mainboards model names (the full model names) are only guaranteed to be unique when the product is made by that specific single manufacturer.

@daring nexus so you end up with a bunch of products (across multiple manufacturers) that looks similar (if not identical aside from the company name)

#

@daring nexus as for the actual differences, that depends entirely on the specific product. As an example: the b450 in the ones you have listed. that is the name of the chipset, so that defines the core list of things that that specific board can support.

Best 144hz 1ms monitor with gsync?

#

I have a evga 2070 super ftw3 oc edition and I want high refresh with no screen tearing

stoic island
#

There is no real need for ulrimante g-sync (or whatever it was called), g-sync compatable monitors would be fine. Also we would need to know what resolution you want to be running, 1080p or 1440p

foggy hazel

technically yes

stray pine
#

@little osprey that build looks sweet i only hope you have that open air. that card will starve itself of airflow being that close to the glass panel. gorgeous looking though

#

@dark thistle nice parts. you sure that isnt a screen shot from Pauls's Hardware on Youtube? LMAO!! almost the exact same setup!!!

It's an IPS panel (good color representation) that has a fast refresh rate and is G-Sync compatible

Hey, where I get a tube to emptying the water cooling liquid into the jar, soon we need to replace it. Anyone have link? Plus we need a pump spray something to clean it out

sudden turret
#

huh?

zenith glacier
#

My husband’s pc need to replace old liquid soon

sudden turret
#

how old is the coolant?

zenith glacier
#

Almost one year

sudden turret
#

do you have a picture of the build? I kinda remember your name, just not the build

zenith glacier
#

This one?

sudden turret
#

I don't know.. you tell me haha 🙂

zenith glacier
#

Ha xD

sudden turret
#

hardlined?

zenith glacier
#

Yea

sudden turret
#

who built it?

zenith glacier
#

Larry A. A deaf guy

sudden turret
#

I need a better picture honestly.

#

is there no drain valve on it?

zenith glacier
#

We have one

#

In the laptop bag.

sudden turret
#

that a regular compression fitting?

#

best thing to do is get up with the guy that built it for you

#

tell em you need soft tubing to drain it

zenith glacier
#

We had a ehh argument over something that we don’t want to see him again

#

So umm we think we can do it on our own

sudden turret
#

can I see the side of that fitting?

#

basically you need a fitting for soft tubing

zenith glacier
#

Ah

sudden turret
#

so that fitting goes into the other?

#

the one on the distro plate

zenith glacier
#

If we remove the metal that’s on plate

#

Yea that fitting go in

#

This used to be like this color

#

It’s crazy so we want to use clear liquid this time

sudden turret
#

whats the otherside of that fitting?

#

that you had in your hand

#

@warm nova do you have an idea of what this drain fitting is called

zenith glacier
#

Hole

sudden turret
#

I just can't tell if it's for hard or soft tubing, or at all

zenith glacier
#

It’s hard tube

sudden turret
#

ah.. then you would need to get a hard tube then .. and have it stick out the case

#

or find a different adapter/fitting for soft tubing

still roostBOT
#
Skull Lady#7917 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

zenith glacier
#

Well oh boy

#

We don’t have any to bend hard tube

sudden turret
#

yeah that sucks he left it like that

#

typically they are setup with a drain ball valve so you can attach your drain tube

#

turn the valve

#

water goes out

zenith glacier
#

Yea

warm nova
#

most of the time even on a hardline system the drain will be setup for soft tube

sudden turret
#

you might can find a different builder? it couldn't cost you that much..

warm nova
#

but that drain is...different

proud holly
#

Hi everyone, im new here to pc building. I had a problem happen with my first pc build. Wondering if someone could help me out. And point me in the right direction

sudden turret
#

Intender yeah that's what I was saying.. it's weird.

cyan cape
#

what kind of distro plate is it?

zenith glacier
#

Hmm

sudden turret
#

lianli looks like

zenith glacier
#

Oh it’s bitspowr

#

I think

warm nova
#

I think thats a touch aqua fitting from bitspower

sudden turret
#

https://www.performance-pcs.com/case-parts-mods/replacement-accy-parts/miscellaneous-case-accessories/bitspower-touchaqua-water-exhaust-fitting-glorious-black-2-pcs-bpta-efw-gb.html

Bitspower Touchaqua water-exhaust fitting (Glorious Black) (2 PCS )

Installed at the lowest point of your loop, the Bitspower 1/4" threaded drain valve will make maintenance of your custom rig a smooth operation. The built in leak free mechanism means you simply need to replace the cap with the included male fitting. As you tighten the fittin...

#

THIS?

warm nova
#

thats it

sudden turret
#

if thats the case... get you literally any g1/4 barbed fitting

#

and some soft tubing

#

🙂

proud holly
#

Heres my thread i posted on a forum about my problem

#

Dont want to paste a paragraph in the chat

zenith glacier
#

If not working or can’t, we will try contact the guy

sudden turret
warm nova
#

you need a g 1/4 compression fitting for soft tube. you assemble the soft tube to the compression fitting and screw that into the piece you were holding in your hand. then remove the cap from the piece on the rad and as you screw in the drain it will open the valve and let the water out

zenith glacier
#

Okay

warm nova
#

also a few feet of soft tube

#

Order 1 meter of soft tube and the proper compression fitting for the size tube you order

sudden turret
#

you'll have to runn the crap out of distilled water in that loop tho

#

you got that fancy coolant in it

zenith glacier
#

Yes

sudden turret
#

so it might take a few runs.

zenith glacier
#

We don’t like it anymore because it fades

#

Clean it with distilled water?

sudden turret
#

can I suggest you go Ek cloud white 🙂

zenith glacier
#

Oh that would look good

#

We thought we would go just clear but it seem boring

sudden turret
cyan cape
zenith glacier
#

I suggested glowing haha but it’s my husband’s

sudden turret
#

ek-cloudwhite so gud 🙂

zenith glacier
#

Will check that out

#

So cleaning it few times with distilled water right?

warm nova
#

That drain valve on your system works just like a schrader valve in tire. when its left alone it doesnt let air/water out. when you push it in it opens up

sudden turret
#

@proud holly I read what you posted, and looked at your pictures...

#

that's uh...

#

I don't even know.

#

dry it out the best you can, wait a good day or two until it dries and see what happens.

proud holly
#

Somebody had said a heat pipe could have burst

#

But there was alot of the liquid that poured out

zenith glacier
#

Oh

#

Wow that’s bad

sudden turret
#

have you taken off the cooler and inspect it?>

proud holly
#

Well the cooler i have on my cpu isnt fully tightened on. As i do not plan on using it. Thats also why ive yet to power the computer on. No thermal paste is applied on the cpu

zenith glacier
#

What tools to use for cleaning liquid out?

#

Like pump liquid in etc

sudden turret
#

there should be a um.. jumper thing that runs just the pump

#

the name is escaping me atm

#

or a seperate psu. plug pump into it so you can pump all the water out

zenith glacier
#

Oh yea

sudden turret
#

but yeah spring since you're not using it, just take it out

zenith glacier
#

Okay

warm nova
#

thats a lot of liquid

#

more than should be in a heatpipe

sudden turret
proud holly
#

Is there anyway i can find out if a pipe did burst? Without voiding warranty?

sudden turret
#

if it even burst, I really dont know

stray pine
#

wouldnt there be significant evidence that id burst

sudden turret
#

yeah you would think there would be water all over it

stray pine
#

or a fried board

#

wall short out. or power strip

#

smoking smell

sudden turret
#

im a bit confused thought

#

the wraith prism comes with paste preapplied

proud holly
#

It was never powered on

sudden turret
#

er not wraith

#

the am4 cooler though, all come pre applied paste

proud holly
#

That cooler i have on in the pictures, is a old cooler. It did have paste previous

stray pine
#

gently squeeze tubes while being unplugged of course and see if liquid comes out

sudden turret
#

ah

#

still the amount of water.

#

I'd like to think something just got spilt

proud holly
#

Ive been no where close to the pc since i built it

cyan cape
#

someone else then?

sudden turret
#

other people?

cyan cape
#

that's an awful lot of liquid

proud holly
#

Nobody has been around it

sudden turret
#

how certain?

#

not saying I dont beleive you

proud holly
#

Its in my bedroom

sudden turret
#

it just doesn't make sense

stray pine
#

maybe it was parched and took a few sips?

sudden turret
#

have you tried wiping it up? how long ago was it?

proud holly
#

I mean yeah i can see maybe people thinking "hes covering up his mess up of spilling water"

sudden turret
#

does it feel greasy?

stray pine
#

are you?

#

lol

proud holly
#

Found the liquid in the pc kast night

sudden turret
#

so it should evaporated by now?

stray pine
#

what kind of warranty came with it?

proud holly
#

@stray pine no 😂 i would accept my mess up and move on lol

cyan cape
#

also, I'm confused by the rust part

stray pine
#

bahaha

proud holly
#

I have warranty. Everything besides motherboard is brand new

stray pine
#

rust should only occur if actual moisture is present

proud holly
#

Yeah i dont know either. Some fans have rust on the screws now

cyan cape
#

but even then, it wouldn't happen overnight

stray pine
#

that pc must been sweating a lot. pushing some hardcore games on it

#

perspiring

proud holly
#

@sudden turret ive had a fan aimed at pc trying to dry it out

stray pine
#

not seen rusted screws on a pc case/fans beofre

proud holly
#

I will take the pc down from where its located and check for the liquid. Its been drying out for almost maybe 12 hours

cyan cape
#

is the warranty not voided in this instance?

sudden turret
#

if it was a true pipe failure.. best to send it back to amd

#

RMA

stray pine
#

no humidifiers in the room?

sudden turret
#

and if any component is janked up, i'm not sure how responsible they are

stray pine
#

not near any windows?

proud holly
#

Ive no clue if its my gpu or cpu that had burst tho. And no humidifiers

sudden turret
#

at this point

#

send it all back

proud holly
#

Yes kinda near a window. Wish i could post pics to this chat

cyan cape
#

yeah, I agree

#

just RMA it all

stray pine
#

hmm.. new or older windows?

sudden turret
#

I gave you access

#

post pictures

#

was the floor around the pc wet?

stray pine
#

weather stripping can affect moisture getting into a room and causing metal to rust

sudden turret
#

you said you picked it up, and water gushed out

proud holly
cyan cape
#

on that ledge?

#

shelf thing

proud holly
#

Ground was soaked

sudden turret
#

that's a spilled drink

#

im sorry

#

or pee

proud holly
#

No on carpet. That ledge is too small for my pc

cyan cape
#

ahhh okay

stray pine
#

is that a sliding glass door?

proud holly
#

No its a door/window

#

Thats a window in pic. Door next to it

sudden turret
#

if the carpet was soaked around it

#

I don't think anything is busted

cyan cape
#

is it possible that you had an intense storm and leaked into youor room?

stray pine
#

does the pc still turn on?

proud holly
#

@sudden turret i did get on ground to smell it and it had no urine smell

#

Ive yet to power on pc. Havent turned it on since building it

sudden turret
#

the amount of liquid you are suggesting I'd lean towards three things

#

pet

#

leaky door/window

#

spilled drink

stray pine
#

hmm dry it out. then try a see if it posts.

#

if it doesnt then maybe it was the cooler

sudden turret
#

I doubt it was the cooler

proud holly
#

Im waiting for my aio to come in b4 i try to see if it posts

sudden turret
#

if the carpet was soaked.

stray pine
#

if not i can only guess some type of water leak near window

sudden turret
#

those pipes only have a bit of water in them

proud holly
#

Im scared my power supply is going to explode lol

sudden turret
#

if you think it's dry, wait another 2 days

cyan cape
#

honestly, electronics are much more hearty than you'd think

sudden turret
#

use a hair dryer.

proud holly
#

Im going to bring down pc and see if any liquid is present

sudden turret
#

not with water dude..

#

lol

proud holly
#

And pull off cpu cooler and gpu to check pipes

stray pine
#

bowl of rice will work

sudden turret
#

no.

proud holly
#

Big bag of rice 😂

sudden turret
#

hair dryer.

stray pine
#

fish tank with water is the best way to dry it off

sudden turret
#

you might be ok since you never turned it on. unless you had the psu plugged in and in had current

proud holly
#

Had no cables connected to it

#

I had this residue on the gpu as well

cyan cape
#

I mean, maybe not in your experience, but I've salvaged mutiple gpu's and other pc hardware that had water dmg

proud holly
#

Its almost like its thermal paste

stray pine
#

i think you will be fine then

#

just dry it all out. then test it

#

this is one of the reasons i havent gone water cooled yet. always hear things like this about lines bursting or cracks happening

proud holly
#

This is just now i took this pic

sudden turret
#

looks like grease

proud holly
#

Its chaulky

cyan cape
#

that looks like thermal paste

sudden turret
#

I seriously have no idea.

proud holly
#

Ugh lol

sudden turret
#

maybe @foggy hazel can shed some light

#

when ever he awakes from his slumber

cyan cape
#

you can def tell that something was wet on top of that and dried out

warm nova
#

Heatpipes just dont have that much fluid. The spray pattern looks like it came from an animal

proud holly
#

Ive dealt with spray from cats before. And if you have too, you know how bad of a stench it gives. There was no smell

cyan cape
#

so uh, again

#

that looks like dried thermal paste

proud holly
#

Yeah, idk where it comes from. I dont own a tube of paste 😂

stray pine
#

hmm.. thats not from the window

proud holly
#

Otherwise i wouldve used my old cooler and tested to see if my pc ran

stray pine
#

what about the tubes?

proud holly
#

Im still looking. Not seein much of anything yet

stray pine
#

is yours custom cooler or one of those anti leak proof ones

proud holly
#

Dunno how easily you can see that pipe. But looks like a dent in it?

stray pine
#

was talking bout your watercooler tubes. isnt that where this supposed water came from?

proud holly
#

I have no watercooling

cyan cape
#

yeah man, at this point just let everything dry out

#

and try powering it all on

proud holly
stray pine
#

ooooooohhhh.... well then a squirel peed on your system

cyan cape
#

what is that fan on the bottom doing?

stray pine
#

their pee is oderless

sudden turret
#

do you have twitter/facebook? @proud holly

proud holly
#

Yes i do

sudden turret
#

you can take those pictures of the gpu

#

and message MSI

#

and see what they think

proud holly
#

And i put that fan there to pull in air? I dunno tbh i thought maybe itd be functional

#

Iike i stated b4, im new to pc building lol

cyan cape
#

that isn't pulling any air

proud holly
#

Okay lol

cyan cape
#

haha

stray pine
#

did you cry a lot when building it?

#

maybe those are dried tears

proud holly
#

No haha, i got frustrated most when i had to try and close my back panel

sudden turret
#

send them a message

cyan cape
#

I'd just take @sudden turret 's advice and msg them

stray pine
#

oh thats always fun. all the wires not sitting flush

proud holly
#

Yeah i mean theyre the ones that build the gpu. So maybe they knkw

cyan cape
#

they may even just insist you send the parts in for an RMA without diagnosing anything

stray pine
#

you were watching a cooking show about bbqing and drool in your case right?

#

nothing else on the system is wet or rusted?

#

just the card

cyan cape
#

the rusted screws are still f....ing me up too

#

I'd replace them

#

if you have extra screws

#

and remove that bottom fan

stray pine
#

im pretty sure it was a damn squirell

proud holly
#

I would hope not. Cause then, my cats arent doing their job 🤷‍♂️😂

#

Do i do rma through newegg or msi? I bought gpu from newegg

stoic island
#

If it's within returning period thingy, you can return it to newegg

#

For RMA go to msi

foggy hazel
#

@proud holly @sudden turret it is 100% not a heatpipe

#

the first picture is what makes me the most curious

#

because that looks almost "mold" like

proud holly
#

Which picture?

#

In my thread or that i posted on here?

foggy hazel
#

the one you posted here, of the heatsink on the gpu

sudden turret
#

sorry but none of this makes sense.

foggy hazel
#

also, just to answer it: the "dent" on the heatpipe is "just" crimp mark, that is quite normal

#

also, in regards to the picture of the backplate of the GPU

#

those splash marks are weird. because IF something splashed from the side (as in, from the outside of the case and in) there would be "streaks" towards the mainboard(connector)

#

those look like the marks from "drops"

#

as if there used to be a AIO mounted above it

proud holly
#

I ordered a aio. But never installed one

#

I have one fan above it

foggy hazel
#

(talking specifically about the marks on the left side of that picture)

#

and now i have finally been all the way back to the start, of the talk/chat

sudden turret
#

🙂

proud holly
#

Right, i know what you mean. But yes i thought at first something had like dripped from above it. But it was covered by the top of my desk. So then i thought it was cat urine but it had no stench

foggy hazel
#

top of desk doesnt cover if something is spilled "on" the desk

#

it can run and "cling" to the bottom of the desk before it drips down

proud holly
#

Right of course

foggy hazel
#

and that would fit with the "splash" marks

#

the drop shape is what kinda gives it away

sudden turret
#

and the fact that your name is spring a dingling

#

lolol

proud holly
#

I wasnt around my pc all day yesterday and the day before i spent all day building it

foggy hazel
#

anyone else around?

proud holly
#

I know nobody was around it at the time because we were watching the superbowl

foggy hazel
#

well, you dont have anything "in" the machine parts that you have told us about that could have caused it

#

so this is a "whodunnit" mystery for the residents of your house

proud holly
#

I just know everyone was around me at the time. I mean i just dont know. And no liquid or drinks were around my pc at the time. My pc is upstairs in my bedroom and everyone was downstairs watching football

foggy hazel
#

(also, sidenote on the "cling" comment above: The carpet that your table rests on gives the table a slight backwards tilt, which gives the water a focused "edge" to drip from)

#

i can only observe and comment based on what i know.

proud holly
#

The supports have adjusters. So it has no tilt

foggy hazel
#

a less than absolutely perfect level will be enough

#

(for what i said above)

proud holly
#

Of course, i mean at this point i wish i knew what exactly had happened. I thought maybe some part had a defect. And thats why i came to ask

foggy hazel
#

aye aye :)

proud holly
#

But even with that much liquid theres no way it couldve been a heatpipe

foggy hazel
#

there are no parts that have that amount of fluid in them, aside from an AIO

proud holly
#

Exactly. And this is my first pc build. Im not going that route for my first build 😂

stray pine
#

there arent any parts that have liquid in them

#

aside form aio

proud holly
#

Took me 4 hours just to do this one. Let alone imagine how long it would take to build a hard line pc

foggy hazel
#

@stray pine yes, as i just said :)

stray pine
#

i know. just making usre people read it right

foggy hazel
#

aio is not hardline :)

stray pine
#

got ya back

proud holly
#

Well i read heatsinks have a little bit of "coolant" or "liquid"

foggy hazel
#

drops

#

at max

proud holly
#

Yeah I know i just had reread what u said and i had completely said opposite. I am getting a aio tho

foggy hazel
#

:)

stray pine
#

now i want an aio

#

im startign a gofund me page i link you guys to it

sudden turret
#

I wouldn't be getting anything until you figure if your components are good

proud holly
#

But whats the thermal paste residue on my gpu from?

sudden turret
#

and like naed said 'whodunit'

foggy hazel
#

that is the next "good" question

sudden turret
#

something happened.

foggy hazel
#

aye

sudden turret
#

that is for sure.

foggy hazel
#

and someone is NOT telling

#

since you are here.

sudden turret
#

its the only possibility

proud holly
#

Of they better. This is expensive s%*t hwre

foggy hazel
#

please do not take this the wrong way. But from my perspective, i cannot trust what you say either.

#

hence why i am trying to explain the reasoning behind my observations.

sudden turret
#

those are nice parts too 😦

proud holly
#

I get that. I dont blame you. But i mean in my defense, why would i ask for help if i had split water on my pc? At that point i know what would happen and go from therw

sudden turret
#

That's the thing, it just doesn't make sense 😛

foggy hazel
#

@proud holly i have been doing this type of work for way too many years to answer that in a way that doesnt insult you

sudden turret
foggy hazel
#

please just trust me, i have heard em all

proud holly
#

I agree. And this being my first pc. Im just lost on what had happened or what could cause this

#

Oh i dont doubt it 😂

stray pine
#

havent you seen toy story?

#

pretty sure it was a toy

proud holly
#

At this point. Only componets that i think could be damaged are my psu and gpu. But idk to what extent of damage is done

stray pine
#

probably not damaged at all since no power was connected

sudden turret
#

yeah if nothing was powered, you're probably good

stray pine
#

if you got a spare card try and post it

#

after its dry

#

or if your board has built hdmi

proud holly
#

I do have one. But shouldn't i try my new one first to see if its working?

stray pine
#

i woundt risk it

#

but baby steps

#

board first then add card later if you feel comfy about it

proud holly
#

I dont feel comfortable about any of it at this point lol

foggy hazel
#

the following is NOT my blessing to power on the system:

#

But based on what you have shown, there should not be a risk.

#

but, that is based on what you have shown.

proud holly
#

My floor is still drenched too. Still, no smell. If i was to think anything would be spilt on or around my pc. Would be beer 🍻

📎 JPEG_20200203_150038.jpg
#

@foggy hazel you dont think my gpu is at risk of anything even with that residue?

foggy hazel
#

and the following might sound annoying/mean/weird: Please go and do something else until you can objectively look at what is in-front of you

#

because, as things stand right this second, i personally, dont have enough info.

#

But i am leaning very hard towards a "whodunnit"

proud holly
#

Even if someone did do something. Im not able to return anything am i?

foggy hazel
#

(and no, with that added context (picture above) i would not turn on anything)

#

you are able to take the parts and stuff them where the sun does not shine on the people/person that is the cause of it

#

and no, no returns on that, because that residue on the finstack is not something you can clean enough

#

(without tearing the card completely apart and putting it back together again)

sudden turret
#

that is a lot of water dmg..

proud holly
#

Oh man, i could cry rn. This is heartbreaking

foggy hazel
#

as i said, step back

#

do something else

#

stop thinking about it.

#

(if you can)

#

get some sleep

#

and attack the problem tomorrow

#

because currently, you are not in the frame of mind for actually figuring it out

sudden turret
#

my pc is water cooling, I don't even think I have that much water.

foggy hazel
#

(and that is not meant as an insult)

proud holly
#

Lol i couldnt even sleep last night due to this problem. And i have nothing else to do around here lol

foggy hazel
#

all i can offer is a "best of luck"

proud holly
#

Thanks everyone for the help. Even tho i couldn't figure out much of anything. Guess i will keep everyone updated if im in a good mental state after everything is figured out 😅❤

foggy hazel
#

best of luck

rapid ridge
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vctjNq ordering the rest of these parts tomorrow (I already grabbed the ram and case, and I can get the chip for a pretty discounted price). What do you guys think of this build?

foggy hazel
#

for an intel build, it is decent

rapid ridge
#

Kinda need to go with intel. I really was looking into doing a Ryzen build but my mom works at intel so I've been forced into getting an intel chip. That's also how I can get the chip for so cheap

sudden turret
#

that sucks you're forced to get a certain thing

#

but if it's really cheap, I'd buy it too

#

😄

rapid ridge
#

I mean, she's paying for it :) It's a bday present but i really dont deserve it lmao. im way too spoiled

sudden turret
#

it shows.

#

jk.. happy bday 😄

rapid ridge
#

Thanks man 😂

lime forge
#

best thing you can do when youre spoiled is be self aware lol

little osprey
#

Does anyone have a nice build for 2500 USD? With ryzen

stoic island
#

2500 USD? that much?

#

did you mean to type 1500 USD? @little osprey

rapid ridge
#

At that budget, you can basically do anything

little osprey
#

@stoic island no

#

2500

stoic island
#

because 2500usd is the best of the best

cursive wharf
#

This for gaming or other stuff?

stoic island
#

You want just PC or PC+Monitor+Peripherals

rapid ridge
#

^

little osprey
#

#

excuse my language sorry

little osprey

What u say

cursive wharf

2.5k

cyan cape
rapid ridge
#

yeah that's a reasonable build

stoic island
#

Well Hei

#

that HDD has reliability issues if I recall?

#

the seagate barracuda 3tb

little osprey
#

Is the cooler you added needed, isnt the stock good

stoic island
#

you can just put in like a 2tb barracuda and have 50$ spare

cursive wharf
#

it might, but you'd have to go by s/n I'd assume rather then name

stoic island
#

(and add in like a NH-D15)

cursive wharf
#

D15 is overpriced tbh

#

get a better themeralright

stoic island
#

At least get some kind of dual-fan cooler

cursive wharf
#

one of the aeros or LMG

little osprey
#

The psu isnt compatable

stoic island
#

DRP4 but thats also high price

cyan cape
#

no, it is

#

I have the same extra 4 pin on my mobo

stoic island
#

I really want to see CNPS20X to be avaliable in the US

#

its even slightly better than the d15, at like 70$

rapid ridge
#

Is it worth getting a full-mod powersupply if I don't plan on getting custom cables?

stoic island
#

I mean its just nice to have

cyan cape
#

if you have the extra cash yeah

stoic island
#

doesn't matter for custom cables

cyan cape
#

helps with cable mgmt

stoic island
#

Usually the pricing between full-mod and semi-mod is very minimal

rapid ridge
#

Okay yeah for sure, thank you gentlemen

cyan cape
#

it's just a nice to have

Thanks lol

sudden turret
#

it's just to many lines.

little osprey
#

Ah

sudden turret
#

thinks you are spamming.

#

which..it is a wall of text 😄

little osprey
#

True xd

#

I can prob remove the extra lines

#

Thanks tho

cursive wharf
#

lot of money spent on looks when you could go perf with a 2080Ti

little osprey
#

True

#

What should I change out

#

The case I'm guessing lol

cursive wharf
#

switched out the drive and cooler from previous list I posted

stoic island
#

I mean I would still got for the d15 for an extra 10$

#

extra fan

cursive wharf
#

doesnt give much

little osprey
#

What's the difference between the one you posted to the stock amd

stoic island
#

It's just better lol

#

Sure stock AMD is good for stock coolers, but it aint much compare to full blown coolers

little osprey
#

True I'll prob switch it out for a black one lul

stoic island
#

I just quite like the d15

#

grand macho is actually basically the same perf as a d15

cursive wharf
stoic island
#

I'll keep it in mind, but at such a similar price, I'd pay a bit extra for the Noctua tax.

#

if CNPS20X comes tho

#

That would just be better than d15

#

some RGB, better perf, cheaper

stark spruce
#

might be helpful if you specify the parts that are out of stock

#

looks in stock to me

#

well can't help you there

stoic island
#

buy it from newegg

verbal shell
#

So far I have down Corsair cx650 bronze semi modular Ryzen 5 2600x, RTX 2070 Trident Z 16 gig 3200, WD Blue 500 gig m.2 , Asus strix b450-f and a snowblind case any suggestions

#

Oh and a ASUS VG278Q

cursive wharf
#

go from CXM to CX. CXM is kinda eh

rapid ridge
#

I think I've asked this here before but what do you guys think the best-quality RGB Case fans are for the under-35 pricepoint

#

preferably a 3 or 5 pack

little osprey
#

What are the cheapest parts i can get that can run fortnite/cod/minecraft at a descent fps

teal bison
#

well you could buy a pack of potatoes and run minecraft so about $5

#

also @little osprey what is decent fps?

#

and what resolution/settings

little osprey
#

Atleast 100 @1080

teal bison
#

the 1650 super could probably get 100 fps on high settings in FN

little osprey
#

I need all the parts tho

#

Cpu. Mobo

teal bison
#

oh ok

little osprey
#

Im going with amd soley for the price

teal bison
#

do you live in the US?

little osprey
#

Yes

teal bison
#

ok ill pick out some parts for you

#

how much do you care about aesthetics?

little osprey
#

0

teal bison
#

sounds good

little osprey
#

Its a budget build

teal bison
#

also how budget is budget?

little osprey
#

I just need to know the price range

#

Its not a build for me

teal bison
#

oh ok well i think for a 1650 super build is around 550-600 depending on stuff like what case and how much storage you want

little osprey
#

500

#

Hefty price

teal bison
#

you could also go with a rx 570 and save about $50 on the gpu alone but you would probably have to lower the settings on games to get 100 fps

little osprey
#

Now what the difference from the mobo u selected and the b450-hdv

teal bison
#

the rev 4.0 one?

little osprey
#

Yea

#

Besides the max ram

teal bison
#

mostly the 2 dimm slots vs 4

#

so i guess if you dont plan on upgrading ram anytime soon you could go with that one

little osprey
#

alright guys i have a question

teal bison
#

also the VRM doesnt look great but idk

little osprey
#

what do i need to upgrade in my build?

#

Think ill go with the cheaper

#

Ryzen 3 2200G, 1650 SUPER, B450 TOMAHAWK, 8 GB Ram, 500W PSU

teal bison
#

also i think you could probably downgrade the cpu to a 2200g or a 3200g

little osprey
#

me?

teal bison
#

no talking to dot sorry

little osprey
#

what about me :^)

teal bison
#

what is your ram speed?

#

actually i would probably just get more

little osprey
#

link me some cheap ram please

#

I got 16gb for 60

teal bison
#

does your mobo have 2 or 4 ram slots?

little osprey
#

4

#

Pny xlr8 -16gb-3200 mhz

#

Like $60

#

will it higher my fps?

teal bison
#

probably but it will definately help in future proofing

little osprey
#

wdym by "future proofing"

teal bison
#

i mean like if you want to get a better gpu in the future, you will probably be bottlenecked by your ram

little osprey
#

Ram wont directly affect fps

teal bison
#

also eli how much are you wanting to spend?

jaunty karma
little osprey
#

Lol

teal bison
#

thats proper thermal paste application right there

little osprey
#

60$ lol

#

Youll be downgrading with that budget

teal bison
#

oh well then ya the only thing you could really get is more ram, or maybe more ssd storage if you are using hard drives

little osprey
#

And i can just get windows pirated and throw it in there

jaunty karma
#

Is their good white cpu coolers

little osprey
#

$1500 budget

#

Vr ready

#

Using a 2060 or 2070

#

Amd or intel

little osprey
#

I got you dot

little osprey
subtle halo
#

i found it the LIAN LI O11 Dynamic XL ROG clone xD haha 70% cheaper TECWARE VXR CASING TG

📎 unknown.png
#

not clone like feels like it i guess the position of fan and hdd hotswap xD

little osprey
#

Looks good

olive kraken
#

thoughts?

#

im gonna overclock cpu

#

1080p gaming n light CAD

vivid atlas
#

2080 SUPER and 1080p ?

#

You're definitely going to push frames with that card at that res.

#

I would recommend 1440P though, I would say a 2080 super is meant for 1440p, could even be fine for 4K

#

1440 p is the sweet spot imo

olive kraken
#

i mean its my first build so Im jjust throwing what people recommend after watching a couple tests

#

what VA IPS monitor do u recommend for 1440p?

#

idrc about wide monitor

vivid atlas
#

Also with a 2K budget you sould be able to fit a 2080 ti

#

Ah my bad the monitor's in the budget too

olive kraken
#

yep
