@fair river i think the one above is the most sane suggestion we have.

@cinder geode depends on the topic

PC has been stuttering on MW and when it stutters, CPU goes up to 100% and Corsair iCue freezes during the stutter

#

Running a i5 9600k with RTX 2070 super and 16 gigs of ram

#

Don’t know why I should be stuttering

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

tried running without iCue active?

cinder geode Apr 25, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Yes - still stutters and goes to 100% usage but when iCue is inactive the fans don’t stutter anymore

#

And by fans stuttering I just mean the RGB

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

@celest horizon you around?

was it you or Box that commented on something like the above a couple of weeks back?

celest horizon Apr 25, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

Sounds like an iCue problem

#

I'm allergic to rgb software so it must've been box

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

ah yes, because i am the same in regards to RGB

#

dont deal with it, if i can avoid it

celest horizon Apr 25, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Oh I like rgb, but I'd rather diy with ws2812b strips or 100W led chips

cinder geode Apr 25, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Not worried about RGB stuttering when MW stutters, more worried about why MW is stuttering on a i5 9600k and a 2070 super

celest horizon Apr 25, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

How would you describe stuttering

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

@sudden turret you around?

cinder geode Apr 25, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Freezes for about a second of gameplay every now and then

#

Maybe every 3 minutes or so the game freezes for about 1 second

I have MSI afterburner open in background showing me all my usage and RAM is only at around 60% usage at time of stutter but CPU spikes to 100% right when it stutters

deep skiff Apr 25, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

does the cpu clock speed drop a lot during the stutter?

cinder geode Apr 25, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

No, around 4 GHz the entire time

#

Clock speed never drops

deep skiff Apr 25, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

i'd assume its something with the game then, but im not really that good with stutter solutions

cinder geode Apr 25, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

I’ve looked up a few things and one thing suggested disabling Corsair iCue SDK and another thing suggested getting more ram and some other place suggested getting a processor with more threads?? So I really don’t know what to do anymore

#

And what’s weird is it’s only with modern warfare campaign

#

Never had any stuttering problems on any other game, including modern warfare multiplayer and warzone

Plan to do dual monitors.
I have no clue about them though. Just saw these at an fair price. Buying 2..

Thoughts on budget build i might do CPU-ryzen 5 1600AF GPU- RX 580 8gb 16gb ddr4 and etc...

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

it's a pretty decent budget build

maiden pine Apr 25, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

do you think there is any cheaper options for gpus

#

Or is that perfect for the budget type

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

you'd still have to pick out the case, motherboard, and PSU

maiden pine Apr 25, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

yeah i know

#

im still figuring some stuff out

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

for a little more you can actually get a lot more performance out of a 1660

maiden pine Apr 25, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

ok

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

if you could swing about $50 more

#

it will add a lot more power to it

maiden pine Apr 25, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

ok awesome

#

thanks for the help

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 4:54 AM

#

the price to performance value is about the same between them

#

but if you can't spare the money the 580 is a decent card

silk estuary Apr 25, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

Ok real talk. I wanna get r9 3900x for the overkill but don't wanna get the 3950x. However, if i had a budget, would the r7 3800x be better

#

Ping me with a response I'm finna sleep

compact hill Apr 25, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

Depends on the workload

silk estuary Apr 25, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

Gaming, lol

compact hill Apr 25, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

If you need the extra cores then go with the 3900x

silk estuary Apr 25, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

But like i said I'm going overkill on purpose

compact hill Apr 25, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

But for gaming 3800x alllll the way

#

3800x gives basically the same performance

#

Way better price to performance

#

Unless you need the extra cores and threads

silk estuary Apr 25, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

Hmm, alright

#

Shall sleep on this

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

3700x and spend the money on a better cooler rather then base clocks that're basically meaningless due to CPU boost

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

or even use stock cooler with a good paste

#

the prism handles the 3700X very well in most work loads, including gaming that uses all cores

#

60% usage on all cores and at 75C isn't bad, not as good as it could be with a better cooler, but with gaming 60% total usage is like the very fringe gaming workloads

#

most games will be 4 cores or less for heavy use of any given thread

little leaf Apr 25, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

@stoic island would that build be able to hit 144fps at ultra?

#

And what about if I wanted to lower the budget to 1300

eager chasm Apr 25, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

the Ryzen 5 and 2070 super build?

#

yea that will definitely to ultra 1080p 144Hz

#

it could do 1440p Ultra 144Hz in a lot of titles too

#

but in more extreme titles that have absolutely BONKERS settings on ultra probably not

little leaf Apr 25, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

No the 3600 with 2080 super @eager chasm

#

Ik most likely but just wanna make sure

#

Or i might consider 2070s with 3600x with less cheaping out on some components

@tidal bluff general gist of your build is this: its a build, it will work. But i would not make the choices you have made. Some of them can be explained by specific requirements, but so far. they just dont make much logical sense

fast dust Apr 25, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Personally I think you could have gotten a decent b450 or x470 board instead and I think you could get a power supply with a little less wattage as you definitely don’t need 750

tidal bluff Apr 25, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

i went with x570 for the pcie4 i plan on getting a seagate firecuda later on

#

the motherboard i chose is 10 bucks higher on pcpp

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 5:21 PM

@tidal bluff what exactly do you think you will actually "get" from having pci-e 4.0?

tidal bluff Apr 25, 2020, 5:24 PM

the new pcie4 firecudas run at 5000/4000 read and write but thats only for pcie4

You really don’t need that and won’t see a difference

You won’t see a difference between an m.2 and NVMe. The difference is like half a second

tidal bluff Apr 25, 2020, 5:27 PM

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 5:28 PM

m.2 is a connector that is used to "interface" with pci-e lanes

i just wanted to have the fastest options available

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 5:29 PM

put a racing stripe sticker on your case

#

it does as much

#

and i am not joking about that @tidal bluff

I’m just saying a payed a bunch for an HP EX920 instead of a normal ssd and totally regret it

jovial bridge Apr 25, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

That x560 seems a little much for an R5 though

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

you really will not feel/see the difference except IF you are doing benchmarks

#

but so far, you have not mentioned benchmarking as being the use-case for the system/build

#

@jovial bridge you mean x570?

fast dust Apr 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

Yes x570 is a little but much for a Ryzen 7

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

not really

#

there are legit reasons for it

#

gaming imo, is just rarely a use case where it makes much sense

#

until you get to a certain budget

fast dust Apr 25, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

A b450 would work just a good

tidal bluff Apr 25, 2020, 5:32 PM

the 3rd series draws more heat like some motherboards cant even run the new ryzen 7's there are certain x470 boards that can run them

@spark rover okay, lets run down some questions, and then fix your list :)

#

total budget?

#

do you need/want wifi?

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

1500-1700

#

yea i want wifi

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

do you have a headset/mic? if yes, is it usb or mini-jack based?

fast dust Apr 25, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

I use a usb 3.0 WiFi adapter and I love it

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

headset with usb and i use speakers

#

speakars uses mini jack

jovial bridge Apr 25, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

My USB wifi adapter doesn't have W10 drivers last I checked

fast dust Apr 25, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

My adapter was just plug and play on w10

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

@spark rover is there a special reason for the H100i?

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

nope

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

but the system should not scream like a jet engine?

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

yea lmao

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

also, what is the actual use case of this system?

#

pure gaming?

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

yep

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

ok thanks

jovial bridge Apr 25, 2020, 6:15 PM

@fast dust same, iirc but I think one of the newer W10 updates broke it. I just use USB passthrough with a VM when I need it now

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

@spark rover any special reason for the h510?

updated the list, didnt see you mention that the harddrive is already bought too

#

@spark rover is the hdd by chance, still in its box?

#

because IF it is, i would return it

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mwrYcf/seagate-barracuda-computer-2-tb-35-7200rpm-internal-hard-drive-st2000dm008 <- because that drive (if you absolutely NEED a HDD, is a much better deal for you)

#

10 usd more, for a doubling in storage

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Ok I really like this build! Thank you!

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

@foggy hazel your list is surprisingly close to one ive made personally

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

its a fair amount of extra omph on all fronts, aside from the cpu

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

I could potentially use that hard drive too.

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

@spark rover take note, that the ssd is a 1tb

#

because you are really going to notice the "noise" of the hdd

#

the rest of the system doesnt make much noise

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

What about the cooler though?

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

and IF you to eliminate just about all noise, just add in something like a noctua u12 or d15s

#

the stock is decent enough

#

but again, as mentioned

#

its all about what you actually want

spark rover Apr 25, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

@foggy hazel Thank you very man!

much*

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

you are very welcome :)

#

also, just in case you are not aware. the PSU is plenty for whatever you want to do

#

its a really nice model, nice long warranty (10 years), really good build quality

#

and 100% overkill for your system :)

#

but it logically does not make any sense to not get a solid PSU

#

any other questions @spark rover ?

you are very welcome @spark rover a parting piece of a advice. IF you can, order the psu right now.

#

it has been going in and out of stock for a while now.

#

@pure estuary okay, so your build: on the surface its a viable build

#

you are just paying a fair deal for no real benefit thou

#

the EVO ssd comes to mind

#

the ML120L same deal

#

the RM psu

#

if we scaled those back, you end up with a 2080 super instead

#

or very close to at least :)

jovial bridge Apr 25, 2020, 6:35 PM

I thought the MSI MPG wasn't great. Like insanely high VRM temps

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

depends on what you "do" with it

#

@jovial bridge you can make most VRM's cry, its just a question of applying enough power

#

its an entirely different question that asks: Is that something you are actually going to do?

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

@foggy hazel the m.2 was mostly for warranty and supplier choice. Samsung has reliable products and something as powerful as an m.2 nvme would need. As for the RM 750W PSU i try to go for 1.5X-ish the estimate which would be 650W but felt the extra 100W would allow more breathing room. Fully modular is a must though. ill get custom cabling.

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

@pure estuary they are very overrated on the consumer side. (samsung that is)

#

as for the psu, 650w is already overkill for something like a 3950x with a 2080ti

jovial bridge Apr 25, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

Agreed on the Samsung's, but I splurged anyway lol

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

@pure estuary as a comparison: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qLkhZf <- this is with 100 extra in budget

System Builder

#

which could temp saved partly, by not getting the 2tb hdd

#

and adding that in later on

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

my only concerns with that list is the PSU and m.2 are brands ive never heard of so i dont know the quality.

#

other than that... its not bad.

my updated verison

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:15 PM

note on the samsung vs any other brand: you dont actually "know" the samsung drives. you just "think" you do

#

and that is not a negative

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

its more about its a b rand thats well known and i have personally used rather than reaching out to perhaps a more reliable foreign brand that has little renown

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

it just "is"

#

there was a time when samsung was seen as the "weird" brand in the SSD space

#

and intel was the king

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

when youve got money on the line familiarity wins

#

ive heard intel m.2's are poorly designed and too expensive

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

notice the "was" above :)

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

yup

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

i "know" that samsung is overpriced

#

so by your logic, you have now "heard" that samsung is too expensive

#

:)

#

ultimately, i cannot change your mind, i can only give you options to consider :)

#

and as i have said numerous times on this server: I dont care one bit if someone wants to have a pink build with a celeron powering a Titan card

#

if that is what they want, fair enough.

#

they are the one paying for it after all :)

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

samsung has a much better RMA / Warranty than most thats why i justify the price, but the cost vs build quality is the most important. Id rather pay $300 for a very well made card than $60 for one that goes out after a few launches

#

thats where you get what you paid for comes into play

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

its fairly overrated imo

#

its = the value of warranty for ssd's

#

and i say that as someone that builds a LOT of machines and services a lot more than that in his regular life

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

but if the $300 has no RMA or Warranty and the $60 has an extremely good one then the $60 although worse product seems a better option, but yes more than likely you rarely use the RMA for SSD / M.2 but id rather have the option than to not.

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

and as mentioned, that is fair enough :)

#

its NOT a negative

#

but we need to have the talk about it, for me to know that is your reasoning :)

#

because i meet plenty of people that choose a specific part because "brand!!!!!!!!"

#

with no actual logic behind it

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

im more than willing to discuss choices for my builds. i just posted mine in build pics although the picture quality is awful for some reason

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

i hope that gives some context for all of this :)

#

you uploaded a low resolution picture

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

no i completely agree. choosing brand because brand is never the best option. without a reason why youre just buying it because it sounds better than Raidmax or Seagate which may not be known to you

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

that is why :)

#

(you can see it is low resolution when you click "open original")

get a good monitor too

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

anything over 75hz if you want to play on 1440p

pine haven Apr 25, 2020, 8:25 PM

Def

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

if youre spending 3k on the systems the monitor and peripherals should match that

little osprey Apr 25, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

144hz 1440p

#

seems food

#

Good

pine haven Apr 25, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Yeah probably spend 2k-2500 on system and another g on monitors keyboard mouse cable management etc

... what

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

@pure estuary that nzxt "1440p gaming" build is overpriced by a lot

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

Yea...

#

I don't like how you guys are recommending prebuilts like that...

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

@cursive wharf he wanted 2k-3k pre built

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Does he have ips 1440p 144Hz display?

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

They didn't even start with wanting a pre built

📎 unknown.png

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

but it transitioned into such

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

and then they got directed at prebuilts

📎 unknown.png

#

without even presenting what they can get building it themselves

#

anyways

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

i was merely showing that its possible. i completely agree with building it yourself. ive never owned a pre built

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

Not to mention
Not knowing PC components =/= not knowing how to build one
But anyways, if prebuilt route, get a good one at least

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

NZXT BLD is merely one route. There is possibly hundreds to choose from. Any good consumer should always price check and look at all options.

#

im not defending pre-builds nor self built. Im just showing other avenues of options.

#

not everyone wants to build their own pc thats why best buy, walmart, and other stores have them for sale

📎 JPEG_20200425_154122.jpg

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

yes its more than likely cheaper and better quality to self build, but if the user doesnt want to learn nor take the time to build then obviously a pre-built was the option

meager relic Apr 25, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

It's alive.. but the fans stopp sometime, and the light goes out

#

Is that normal

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

This list is basically that pc for like 800$ less

But even better in some regards

#

Like amp > g5

#

Arctic freezer 2 > x72

pine haven Apr 25, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

I want something prebuilt

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

thats using apples to oranges. They are using specific parts. Yes they might be better but thats just what NZXT uses

pine haven Apr 25, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

It’s not for me it’s for my boss and I don’t want to be his go to for figuring out how to build a computer

#

Very specific use case here

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

@pine haven just look around at other places. CyberPower, NZXT BLD, etc. just show him options and let him choose

pine haven Apr 25, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

I will do some shopping

#

Absolutely best way to go

#

So I’m not on hook for his decision

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

or tell him that its cheaper and just as easy to self build but just tell him you cant help

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Nzxt is still overpriced iirc

pine haven Apr 25, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

2 year warranty is nice though

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

If it's for your boss, I understand you don't want to build it then.

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

@stoic island i dont disagree but thats not the point

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Like overpriced compared to other prebuilds is what I'm saying, I need to check prices

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Couldn’t find in stock:
MSI OPTIX AG32C 1920x1080 165hz VA $300

But found:
MSI OPTIX MAG322CR 1920x1080 180hz VA $330

Is the mag better?

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

its using mostly NZXT products so its being branded as a premium service.

#

$99 for assembly and cabling

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

I believe so, but are you sure at 1080p?

#

Bruh

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

1080p doesnt need more than 144hz. i run a 75hz for 1080p

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

...

#

Do you not notice that it's 32 inch?

#

That's the issue I have with it being 1080p.

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Yes they’re both 32 in

#

Why? Would the dimensions be off?

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

I'd rather not suggest any 1080p 32in monitors

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

im simply looking at resolution and refresh

warped moat Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

1080p 32in looks terrible

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Pixel density would be horrible

#

Yea.

warped moat Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

24in is the highest I would go for 1080

#

27 maybe

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

ive got a 27in 1080p 75hz

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

But have you tried 1080p 24in 144hz?

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

my bank doesnt allow that

#

i dropped $110 on my current monitor

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

With my 24in monitor, I'd say that's the largest I'd go for 1080p, as any larger, the pixels would be too noticable at the distance I look at my monitor.

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

i sit roughly 2 feet away

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

1080p 144hz isn't THAT expensive, usually 150$ is all you need.

tranquil dust Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

"144in"

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Lmao

tranquil dust Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

lol

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

i wish 144in was $150

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Didn't realize that

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

my whole house would be a bunch of screens

warped moat Apr 25, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

If I combined every tv in my house I would barely be able to get 144in

#

But at like 3 different resolutions

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

@polar goblet IIRC, you're looking for a second 32in monitor, correct?

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

we have 5 screens. 65in, 32in, 27in, 22in, and another 22in with the 27in being the only gaming monitor the rest tvs

#

i think i barely meet the sq feet of a 144in

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

W u t

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

total screen area

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Screen size is measured diagonally

#

Not area

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

i was saying cover my walls

#

if a 144in tv was only $150

#

so area with be the proper equivalent

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

Or just the height and width

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

you cant add multiple screens diagonally and have the same size as a 144in native

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

except the actual weight of that amount of screen is fairly bonkers

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

125.5in x 70.5in if 16:9

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

yes the weight would be absurd

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

would like to point out that the first 100+ inch tvs required a chain winch to get in place

pure estuary Apr 25, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

unless you go with some prototype flexible screens that i belive either Samsung or LG was developing

#

The first range of devices that use flexible OLED displays are not really flexible from the user perspective. The device maker bends the displays, or curves it - but the final user is not able to actually bend the device. These first-gen flexible OLEDs are adopted many premium smartphones, for example the Samsung edge-type Galaxy phones or Apple's iPhone X and Xs. Besides the beautiful designs, a flexible OLED has several advantages especially in mobile devices - the displays are lighter, thinner and more durable compared to glass based displays.

Second generation flexible OLED displays can be bent by the user - these can be used for example to create foldable smartphones - the first range of which are expected to hit the market by the end of 2019.

@stoic island
I haven’t bought any yet.
Looking to do dual monitors 32in or 27in if two 32s would be to much

#

I have a 6ft desk

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

@polar goblet do yourself a potentially big favour and actually measure out how much space the models you are looking at, would actually take up

#

and place something that is placed at where the upper left and upper right would be of the total screen area

#

then place yourself in your chair

#

and take a good notice of how much/little you might need to move your eyes/neck to actually "focus" on those spots

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Will do 👍🏼
Just ordered my new desk. Standing adjustable. Should be here in a few days

In the mean time I wonder if those 2 are the best around that price area for 27 or 32 in

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

IF you go 32 inch, imo, 4k resolution should DEFINITELY be looked at seriously

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

4K is just gonna be better overall huh?
So I should start looking at 4K ones?

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

its not "better" overall

#

its all about the pixel size really

#

think about it like this:

#

your phone is fairly crisp in resolution right?

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Yes

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

what actual resolution does it have?

#

(just tell me the model, and i can tell you)

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

iPhone

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

which one?

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Xs

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

@polar goblet sorry for late response, but I would suggest 2 27in panels

#

1440p too

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

@polar goblet 1125 x 2436 pixels, <- thats the resolution for the regular XS

#

now, imagine that if you took that resolution and stretched it across a 32 inch display

#

do you think it would look as crisp?

#

(and yes, its a fairly inane comparison)

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Oo okay so 4k being 4000 would be more crisp because how many pixels are spread out length wise

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

basically, what it boils down to is amount of physical pixels per square inch

#

the higher a number, the crisper a display will appear

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

4k means 3840x2160 pixels by the way.

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

(this drops off at certain points)

#

but that is the basic concept behind it

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Alright tysm

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

the general "rule of thumb" for it is the following

#

up to 24inch monitors = 1080p

#

24-27=1440p

#

27+=2160p

#

there are ofc exceptions

#

but the above numbers have held true for 99% of situations i have seen over the years :)

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

Best 4K 27in between $200-$300?
Best 1440p 27in between $200-$300?

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

4k between 200-300= not something you want

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

Thats a low budget for 4k, so I believe all you'll have access to is 1440p.

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

also consider the following: investing in a decent monitor is not a bad idea

#

you will most likely keep your monitor for a couple of builds at least

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

agh

#

I dont like how pcpp shows prices for stuff that's out of stock

#

and sometimes dont show a price for something that is in stock

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

pcpp is seemingly having a bit of a ethical debate it looks like

#

because stuff like that IS solvable

#

but it requires telling the shops to actually behave or put limits on how they list stuff

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Okay best 1-2 for 1440p 27in?

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

But anyways, do you have any stats on how good this monitor is? even though it's out of stock.

VIOTEK GN27D 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor

#

It's just intriguing that it's the only 144hz 1440p monitor under 300$ I can find

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

nope, never used that one

stoic island Apr 25, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

It's VA too, so Idrk what they skimmed out on to get it so cheap

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

scaler maybe

polar goblet Apr 25, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

Response Time (G2G)
5 ms
Vs
1ms?

foggy hazel Apr 25, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

for a gaming build, generally, you want a lower response time

sullen spoke Apr 25, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

Lower better, but it doesn’t matter too much if your not gaming

deep skiff Apr 25, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

okay so the stuttering is back and its like 5-10 seconds long

#

and it just crashed a game and said something about nvidia share not working

cursive wharf Apr 25, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Well firstly you cant go by G2G because C2C is more accurate and realistic and secondly if it were 1ms C2C vs 5ms C2C you wouldnt notice a difference because it's 4ms difference, which no one can tell the difference between

dreamy tendon Apr 26, 2020, 12:16 AM

Hey everyone! So I'm building my first pc and I think I ran into a problem. When trying to connect my monitor (Asus VE228H 21.5" 1920x1080) to my motherboard (TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING Micro ATX AM4), I noticed there was no VGA port on the motherboard, at least not that I could see. Am I missing something, or are these two just not compatible?

sullen spoke Apr 26, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

It should work if you have a adapter, most modern gpu and mobos don’t have vga anymore

#

The norm is hdmi or DisplayPort

#

If the monitor and mobo/gpu has a hdmi or DisplayPort you can use that(I can’t search rn I’m on my phone)

spiral rivet Apr 26, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

I plan to build my own computer with intentions to be able to run destiny 2 high settings on 60fps, but i don't want to make a wrong decision, and was wondering if i could get some ideas of a cpu and gpu that is perfect for what i want please and thank you. (since my gaming laptop is a bit lackluster on preformance on the game)

dreamy tendon Apr 26, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

The monitor I got came with a VGA cable and a DVI cable. The mobo has a DVI port but no VGA port which was why I was confused

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

@dreamy tendon do you have your build list?

#

because it sounds like there might be a bit of a misunderstanding going on :)

dreamy tendon Apr 26, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Yep here it is:

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

@dreamy tendon you cannot post it, bot will eat your link :)

#

just dm it to me :)

#

its our anti spam prevention :)

#

so @dreamy tendon, as you mentioned in the dm. you have a GPU: Radeon Pro WX 5100 100-505940 8GB 256-bit GDDR5 Workstation Video Card

#

that means, you dont have to worry about the mainboards video outputs

#

you will be connecting directly to the WX 5100 card

#

also, for your own sake, i strongly recommend that you use either a HDMI or DVI cable from the monitor to the WX 5100

#

please dont use a VGA cable :)

dreamy tendon Apr 26, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Alright thanks! I'll give that a try

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

you are very welcome :)

#

best of luck with your build :)

and please remember the following: there are no stupid questions, only silly answers

Anyone else know why my audio sounds off and lower and muffled lol

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Hey can someone help me out with something?

#

Does my rgb fusion mess with my trident z I’ve heard that it does this but my computer also restarts randomly which leads me to think the ram is bad

#

So I ordered new ram and the old ram is intel platform I just bought 3600 gtzrx sticks made for Ryzen

#

Beginners mistake

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

@young pebble there is no "ram made for ryzen"

#

its PR bs

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

Lol

#

Would you know the reason for random restarts and the rgb not working

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

there are certain speeds/latencies that work better with specific ryzen chips, but that is not "made for ryzen"

#

that is just how cpus work

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

Also forgot to mention the restarts with stop for months and come back

#

Ok thanks

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

re: restarts: it could be ram related

#

with the data you are giving me, that is only a guess thou

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

Idk

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

(you cannot tell me anything else, i know)

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

It’s not overheating

#

I know that

#

Don’t think its my hard drive

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

currently, your own best bet is start to look at the logs

#

and remember to keep notes of when/how/where etc it happens

#

which are all "normal" things to do when trying to track errors

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

Everywhere it’s happens watching video playing making essays for school whole Nike yards

#

Nine

#

How do you check logs

#

Sorry

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

event viewer :)

#

nothing to be sorry about

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

Never had to go into this much depth into fixing my computer

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

as i say, just about every day. There are no stupid questions, only silly answers

#

so feel free to ask

young pebble Apr 26, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

Ok thanks I will try the event viewer tommorow morning but also my new “Ryzen ram” is coming in but it does have a purpose with a higher speed so we will have to see

#

When switched out what it does

#

But pretty much everything is getting swapped this year anyway for new parts

#

So eventually it will stop I guess

foggy hazel Apr 26, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

maybe

#

or it will get worse

#

time will tell :)

I would say overclock the cpu a little and you should be good 6c 12thread processor is enough for gaming and if you wanted switch out for a regular 1660 and over lock if you want to save more money

#

I would research some more i have experience but advice from multiple people can help I don’t want to lead you down the wrong path but msi tomahawk is an absolute killer for its pricepoint

#

B550 chipset is coming in a couple months though if you wait

#

Which offers PCIe 4.0

#

For cheaper than an x series mobo

#

@foggy hazel whenever you see this (I know it’s late couldn’t sleep without fixing) I had did pressure tests on both my house and cpu multiple rounds and no restart can’t be the power supply because just swaped it and same issue so I’m leading towards the ram all drivers and operating system is updated but I might have to update my bios I haven’t done that for this board since I got it last year and I’m planning on putting a 3 or 4 series chip in it probably 3 and eventually upgrading my mobo I really don’t know how to diagnose through the logs I’m not skilled enough but I will try to get more info on it all there is left to is (update bios)(new ram possibly on the way though)(possibly check hard drive) but that’s all I got left before fully understanding and going through logs

@nimble flume You'd be better off with this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7TJC9G
-CPU: The price fluctuates however will usually come back down to $85. May need to wait a week or two for that
-Mobo: Tomahawk is overpriced. Also a $100+ board isnt really a good idea with that $700 budget
-RAM: Only Zen2 CPUs use 3600 RAM, Zen/Zen+ can only use about 3200 speeds
-Storage: That SSD didnt have DRAM cache so not a good idea. Also 120gb is pretty small and hard to use as a boot drive. Switched it out for an NVMe with good controller + DRAM cache
-GPU: 5600xt is a bit above 2060 levels of perf for less, also def above 1660S perf.
-case: cheap but basic
-PSU: More wattage doesnt really mean better quality as a note, nor does rating get you quality of a PSU. BQ has poor voltage regulation/ripple, lacks OTP, not so great transient response times, etc. CX is just a better choice, even if lower wattage.

I'm looking to build a new computer while recycling some parts of my current set up.

Bc of the little amount of games i play, i see the ryzen 3600 work fine for me.

One thing i see often is the mobo tomahawk b450. Is there a reason why the asus strix b450 is not mentioned?

For gfx ill be recycling my current card. XFX Radeon Rx Vega 56 8GB. I know it's old but it still does ok. I'd be willing to change/upgrade if needed.

Case will be recycled too. Corsair 540.
Also may reuse a corsair hx750 depending on some tests....might be going bad....

Ssd i have an old samsung evo 860 500gb ssd i can use after cleaning up.

Would love some advice if possible.

Hey guys so I'm new here and I just want some thoughts on a build I'm planning. I do lots of gaming and recently cad work for school that's very resource intensive (lumion 10). My current pc is a dell xps 8900 with a Intel i7 6700k and a gtx745 which is obviously hot garbage. I am between two options here and cant decide whether I should upgrade just the GPU to a 1660 ti (it's the highest tier graphics card I can get without replacing the psu) or start a new build altogether. If I were to go with a new computer do u guys know if now is a good time to start it pr are there any new generations of GPUs of cpus coming withing the next 8 months that I should wait for. Also wondering if a 2070 super for 500 is a good deal. Any help is a appreciated

little osprey Apr 26, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

I’m guessing you use your setup for gaming. Pretty sure you don’t use some hefty softwares. A 1660 can run most games without much difficulty

lyric thistle Apr 26, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

yeah go for a new GPU, new PSU where needed, don't need to get rid of the system

#

I'm sticking with my i7-4790 computer for the foreseeable future

jovial bridge Apr 26, 2020, 10:38 AM

1660 is fine for 1080p. Hell, I had mine paired with a core i5

Any advice?

So I should just try to find any 2060 near that price then, prob like a bit more than the ko but guess that's not a big deal, saw some for like 330 or so

#

Or is it more worth going up to 2070 or 2060super?

Though it'll definitely hurt my wallet to go up in price. Even the extra 30-40 gonna hurt going up from the 300$ ko

Wazzup?

#

Would that memory work on the board too?

#

Ummm...

#

"AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Pinnacle Ridge) support DDR4 3200+(OC) / 2933(OC) / 2667 / 2400 / 2133 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory"

#

Looks like it would probably drop down to 2,667, unless OC'd.

eek

#

The Ryzen 5 1600 "AF" is Pinnacle Ridge, so.

fast dust Apr 27, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

So I should just choose some 2666MHz memory instead?

fiery jay Apr 27, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

Yeah, 2,667 stuff would be more than enough. lol

#

Alright cool. Trying to make a rough draft for my friend of a cheap streaming build 🤷

fiery jay Apr 27, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

Unless you or they plan on going to a Ryzen 9 3950X, which can take 3,200 stuff. lol

#

Honestly never checked memory compatibility in my life and always winged it. Trying to change that.

#

Yeah they're trying to stay pretty cheap

There also is a Memory QVL list on the page, for that board.

yep

fiery jay Apr 27, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Ryzen 5 1600AF would be under Pinnacle Ridge.

fast dust Apr 27, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Yeah

fiery jay Apr 27, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

That is what they tested it w/. Could work w/ other stuff, too, so.

fast dust Apr 27, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Okay cool

#

Thanks
