Was a prebuilt that i got in sophomore year of school
paper magnet
That last ones ram and stuff is to outdated for new boards
And the power supply corroded
sudden turret
๐ฎ
paper magnet
It got to the point it force shut itself off during any games
Its dusty as hell as it was sitting there for a whole year before i opened it a few days ago
sudden turret
probably shutting down due to overheating
paper magnet
Oh it installed and went back to the black screen
paper magnet
Yea yea i know
sudden turret
just let it sit for a min,
black screen is ok
it'll go black, restart, go black. just let it run its couse
course*
paper magnet
It it starting loading files then went back to the key screen on its own again
sudden turret
ya ๐
sudden turret
it went back to that??
paper magnet
Yea
sudden turret
hm ok so take out the usb, and restart see what it does.
paper magnet
Oh its on a normal loadin screen for windows
sudden turret
good to go
paper magnet
The "getting ready" thing
sudden turret
nice
sullen spoke
๐
sudden turret
so what happened was when it restarted by itself, it just loaded up the USB to install again .. instead of booting to ssd
paper magnet
Ah
paper magnet
Pshhh
sudden turret
be proud, seriously.
paper magnet
Never
sudden turret
I SED BE PROUD.
sullen spoke
paper magnet
Im not proud because my Ethernet cord wont go in
paper magnet
My wifi is arse
sudden turret
so why did you pick a wifi board ๐
paper magnet
Because it didn't used to be
My wifi was great untill a few months ago
But for some reason we had a drop in signal
sudden turret
did you install the antennas to mobo?
paper magnet
...
sudden turret
go ahead and do that
sullen spoke
why ethernet no fit?
paper magnet
And idk why it wont fit
foggy hazel
picture of the io?
sudden turret
hey Naed ๐

Morning all
lyric thistle
the I/O shield might have a tab that got stuck in the ethernet jack when it was installed
foggy hazel
what i thought
sudden turret
OH NO
granite imp
The tab!
sudden turret
crap
foggy hazel
so no, you are not going anywhere Box
sullen spoke
lol
foggy hazel
i am going to lunch thou, later!
sudden turret
sullen spoke
evil tab
granite imp
sudden turret
that tab is in the wrong spot..
paper magnet
Imma guess thats not an easy fix..
sudden turret
which requires sadly, to remove the motherboard and reseat it against the I/O shield
BUT
if naed would approve
sullen spoke
sudden turret
I'd just bend it out the way..
sullen spoke
woah
lyric thistle
it is easy though
sullen spoke
boxy
granite imp
I say stick a LPD behind it and bend it back and forth until it snaps off
But I just built my first pc last week. So donโt listen to me.
paper magnet
Yall got aggressive
foggy hazel
(sometimes you cant, depends on the specific material thickness)
lyric thistle
that's one way of doing it
granite imp
When it doubt, bust the dremel out.
paper magnet
Well now that im looking i see a second tab stuck in there in a different spot.. I'll fix em later
Usb C area has a tab in as well
lyric thistle
smh
paper magnet
Lemme go get my wifi key, ill worry bout that later
lyric thistle
box, usb c is for usb c devices smh
lyric thistle
I have a usb c flash drive

that's one of the perks of LG :p
sullen spoke
hmm my a key double pressed
IS MY KEYBOARD GOING TO DECIDE TO DIE NOW AFTER ITS YEARS OF SERVICE
sudden turret
its ok
cold sorrel
Don't panic, it can be fixed
sullen spoke
I've never seen tab before
sudden turret
I've done it before.
granite imp
Iโve never seen before.
foggy hazel
@granite imp it still happens for me once in a while
and i think i have built "enough" machines
granite imp
No I mean, Iโm blind.
paper magnet
But to fix it ill have to unplug everything
sudden turret
well
yes/no
ateleast the 24pin/12v power, and the gpu
then unscrew the mobo , shift over a little, enough to get that stupid tab in the correct spot
if it was me, I'd just bend the tab outward.
paper magnet
That graphics card was a pain to get in
sudden turret
enough to get the cable in
paper magnet
Im okay with bending tabs after 3 days of work..
sudden turret
WOO
now seriously pat yourself on the back
we just need to work on getting the rest of those fans spinning
unless they're good to go noiw?
sudden turret
ah ok
sudden turret
I did?
sudden turret
i'd go ahead and secure the PSU
then we can figure out fans, we'll need to see how you have it all wired up
what fans are they?
sudden turret
which aren't working at all?
paper magnet
The front three have lights but wont spin
sudden turret
ok
paper magnet
The top two spin but no lights
sudden turret
the three front fans, did they come in a pack?
and did they come with any type of hub/controller box
paper magnet
They came already installed on case
sudden turret
so you may need to back track on what you plugged in
most fans have two wires, one for power (3 or 4 pin) and then one for the lights.
some can be daisy chained together
paper magnet
Okay so front ones first then?
sudden turret
meaning one fan plugs into power, then the second plugs into that fan, and so on
yeah
when you plugged the front 3 in, how did you go about it
paper magnet
Is this where that unused molex cord comes into play?
sudden turret
possibly ๐
paper magnet
Okay so the front three are all chained together by default
sudden turret
ok
and ends with a molex ?
that you didn't connect?
if so, that'd be your power for them
paper magnet
I dont know where to put the molex
sudden turret
unless your looking at the Molex from the powesupply
send a picture ๐
of what you're looking at
granite imp
What Iโm looking at
paper magnet
Those two cords are both from the fan/front of canse
On my case instructions it showed the gigabyte left alone i believe
But no where it showed that molex
sudden turret
that's if you had a gigabyte board
with these connectors (RGB) make sure the arrows are both on the same side
paper magnet
Yup
sudden turret
do they not have any type of regular fan header?
oh what case is this?
nothing like this?
or in your case
paper magnet
Cooler Master MasterBox MB530P ATX Mid-Tower
sudden turret
ok gimme a min
according to newegg:
ARGB Lighting Control - Sync the addressable RGB lighting on the power button and fans by connecting the ARGB cable from the I/O panel to the included 2 to 3 ARGB splitter. Certified compatible with: ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock motherboards for a comprehensive lighting system.
which explains why you see the Gigabyte tag
paper magnet
sudden turret
yes, that solves the RGB, which is good, cause they are lit.
buoyant flame
sudden turret
so yes that Molex is for the Fans sadly
which means you wont be able to control the speed
you need to connect that directly to the PSU molex.
then all three will be powered up
paper magnet
My psu doesn't have one?
sudden turret
it should.
it's either on the same cable that your SSD is on
(usually there is 1 molex)
or its still in the psu box
being it's own cable
sudden turret
the cables running to your HardDrive
and SSD
check them
should be at least one
sudden turret
yeah that's it
those are male plugs
this is your fans female plug
don't worry about the metal bits inside the holes.
paper magnet
Mhm
paper magnet
Cooler master
sudden turret
ok so 3 pin
sudden turret
trying to see what rgb headers are on that motherboard
foggy hazel
@granite imp it would be helpful, if you kept comments like that to the #general-chat
paper magnet
My back fans led is working fine and its a three also
sudden turret
so you were correct
sudden turret
so hook them back up
we might just need to install the mysticlight software from MSI before they get picked up
so go ahead and button everything up., psu install, cable manage the best you can.
paper magnet
Then why would the back work and not the top then?
sudden turret
where was the back exhaust connected to
paper magnet
Down here on first slot
sudden turret
gotcha, lets go ahead and install psu , install mysticlight software
and go from there
paper magnet
Okay
sudden turret
I have to hop off and have a virtual speech class with my son in like 5 mins.
maybe @foggy hazel can finish
but I think it's probably most likely software
as 3-pin is a tad different than 4pin
paper magnet
Itll take me some time to get that psu in anyway thanks so much
And clean my electric spaghetti
sudden turret
๐
sudden turret
@paper magnet how's it going
paper magnet
Fans are all working but i have an issue with my management with cables.
paper magnet
I have them in a cubby where had they had them originally, the rgb fan ones
But the lowest fan wacked one
sudden turret
ut oh
paper magnet
So i gotta rework them
sudden turret
but hey, it's working ๐
static briar
how do I update the right drivers for my gpu and my motherboard??
static briar
its a 1650 super asus geforce
sullen spoke
don't need to update bios on mobo if it works as intended
static briar
alright bet tthxs btw what do you mean by motherboard works as intented?
sudden turret
are you having issues with it?
if there are no issues, then there is no real reason to update it.
sudden turret
specs of the build?
sullen spoke
when you use it, if it works then you don't need to
foggy hazel
i can grab @static briar @sudden turret
static briar
ohhh alright bet thxs yea it just turned on and im spamming the delete button so i can oc my pc
thxs so much u to
stoic island
Risky business Ocing
foggy hazel
@static briar do NOT oc anything you are not prepared to be without.
static briar
wym?
sudden turret
yeah... if you dunno about drivvers..... disregard ocing anything ๐
static briar
huh im reallly confused now lol
foggy hazel
@static briar if your above posts are legit, i would STRONGLY recommend that you dont even think about overclocking
static briar
my gpu is super 1650
sullen spoke
when you oc, it is best to do it manually not the auto oc stuff, so it is best to have a general understanding of the settings you are changing before you touch anything
sudden turret
you asked how do you update gpu/mobo drivers.... which gives us a clear indication you don't know much about computers (no disrespect)
and jumping right into Overclocking is a no no ๐
We just try to save you a headache is all
sullen spoke
overclocking is fun, but you have to do your research first

then ye lol
paper magnet
@sudden turret
Everything is up
My bedroom is trash from making room ro build this and littered in boxes however
fast dust
Yo try routing the 24 pin cable behind the motherboard. Just looks a lot cleaner that way ๐
fast dust
Yeah I know I was giving some advice
sudden turret
these rubber grommets
fast dust
A little advice isnโt like going hard on them or anything
sudden turret
is usually where you would route that big 24pin cable
paper magnet
I may move it but for now my back hurts
sudden turret
and the cable your gpu is connected, put where the 24 is
paper magnet
I want to enjoy my games for the first time in a yeay
sudden turret
oh yeah it's not like needed, it's more of a aesthetics type thing
paper magnet
And figure out how to get the lighting program
paper magnet
Kaspersky
stoic island
Malwarebytes >:D
foggy hazel
@paper magnet a big congratulations is in order :) well done :)
paper magnet
Okay another dumb question guys how do i install all my driver's
stoic island
Nvidia drivers, use nvidia experience
(and NVCleaninstall if you want)
foggy hazel
there are no dumb/stupid questions, only silly answers.
stoic island
That's not a dumb question at all
Maybe we should make a list of how to install your drivers and which ones to install, then pin it :p
paper magnet
Uh it just did a bluscreen thing saying it ran into an error and restarted itself
foggy hazel
ah joy
sullen spoke
stoic island
Oh yea usually the mobo has downloadable software that downloads drivers for ya, but otherwise for drivers you just go to mobo support page and download em
foggy hazel
@sudden turret you want to follow up or?
stoic island
(IDK about others, but MSI has live update and thats neat.)
paper magnet
https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/6803638 my parts list btw if that helps with drivers
sudden turret
sorry stuck in #old-cooling

foggy hazel
@paper magnet that is all you can do for now
@paper magnet did you have a mainboard model for me?
stoic island
MSI MPG Z390M Gaming Edge ac
foggy hazel
(and just as i said that, discord delieverd the parts list link from newegg. Thank you Discord!)
stoic island
lol
paper magnet
Ay
pastel briar
@edgy cape did you get you issue resolved?
Lol building your own pc has its pros and cons. Prosnbeing that its cheaper and fun for hobbyists, but cons being it's a lot more frustrating and problematic
@queen fjord
I am sorry but I will have to agree to disagree with you on this, while generally building your own PC IS cheaper depending on how you source your parts, your cons I have to say you are incorrect, yes very rarely will people have issues and troubles that CAN pop up, I have built many a PCs and even helped others do the same (both in person and over video conference) and I have had maybe one issue that I can remember that was a big enough problem that I would have called an issue, that that wound up being a fan that was DOA but easily rectifiable by swapping it out for a temp stand in and getting a warranty replacement
foggy hazel
click the dropdown, select win10 64
then grab the following
those are in theory all you need to worry about
the rest should be there already
stoic island
Naed, would you recommend using MSI Live update?
Because I have been using that without any issues
foggy hazel
less random software = good imo
stoic island
At least mystic lights work with g.skill
And I got no other way to control fan speeds with software other than dragon center
pastel briar
@stoic island I can say that from past experiences I would say no, I haven't tried recently but when I use it (when it first came out) it was less then stellar, but perhaps its improved some? I am of the camp that "the less random software I have the fewer conflicts and problems will be created"
digital pecan
Dragon center is pretty good
stoic island
Interesting, I've had no issues with it, it just installs new drivers whenever I manually scan and use it.
I dont do the automatic scan thing
foggy hazel
any software that does something you dont really need it to do? had better save you a LOT of time to stay on your system <- this is ofc my personal take on it
stoic island
It saves me a LOT of time with software fan curve than bios, like hours upon hours of fiddling
foggy hazel
ninite is a prime example of something that saves a LOT of time. And doesnt need to be installed
stoic island
so I need dragon center :P
pastel briar
@stoic island I agree with @foggy hazel on that, and that is also my outlook on software, either that or it better help me cut down time on deploying the same thing to 100's of PCs at the same time
YAY my rack extenders will be here tomorrow ๐
foggy hazel
@stoic island but keep the following in mind: Do you really need dragon center beyond setting things up the first time around?
stoic island
Not really
foggy hazel
thats your answer right there.
stoic island
Eh, I wish I could keep the fan curve profile somehow tho
foggy hazel
but again, i build towards a different "mindset" than you do
my machine HAS to be stable
stoic island
I could actually put it in the bios but im lazy there
foggy hazel
so the more i can cut out, the better for me
foggy hazel
also, machine(s) running all the time
pastel briar
My machine has only the bare essentials in it ๐
if I could I would have ripped out the GUI but I don't think windows would like that....
foggy hazel
well, you are also a linux fruit cake :P
foggy hazel
aye
cloud drum
paper magnet
@foggy hazel i got the drivers, do i need to run them?
glass swift
got my CPU and memory today, yeehaw
paper magnet
they kinda just saved
foggy hazel
@paper magnet yes, the first one i listed first
@paper magnet if in doubt which file to click, please ask before clicking :)
paper magnet
got em
foggy hazel
@paper magnet do you mean, you have installed them or?
foggy hazel
in what way?
paper magnet
no matter what i do it keeps going off screen
foggy hazel
elaborate please?
foggy hazel
what monitor are you using?
paper magnet
...a tv monitor.. all i have at the moment
paper magnet
but im picking the resolution that the box claims the screen is
foggy hazel
yes, but TV's are "silly/dumb/ignorant" like that
they have a built in scaler that can do weird things like what you are seeing
but, it can normally be fixed by changing a couple of settings :)
which tv model is it ?
paper magnet
an element
foggy hazel
is there a model name?
paper magnet
hold on
pastel briar
it sounds like the over scan (under scan?) may be turned on and it need to be turned off, my tv did the same thing and I had to change that function
foggy hazel
got what i need, thank you @paper magnet
pastel briar
@paper magnet one way to correct would on your desktop (assuming your in win 10) is to right click on your desktop, go to Display settings, then select the highest resolution supported (if a 1080P tv you can select 1900X1080) then go into the TV settings and look for the under scan (also I have seen the same thing called over scan)
@foggy hazel may be able to find you more/alternate ways to help with your issue as well, (give them a moment he is processing your request).
foggy hazel
@paper magnet on your remote, is there a "round wheel" with a "ok" button in the middle?
foggy hazel
has it got the "round wheel"?
paper magnet
yes
foggy hazel
just above that, on the right, is there a button that says "aspect"?
foggy hazel
okay, that is perfectly normal (that the manual is not completely true about the remote layout)
Currently, what resolution do you have set on the pc?
paper magnet
1366X768
paper magnet
hdmi
foggy hazel
okay
then just click the aspect button
there should be one of the different modes that does what you want
paper magnet
wide is the closest one and its the one im on currently with my stuff still off screen
foggy hazel
2sec
pastel briar
@foggy hazel keep in mind some TVs do have a over/under scan mode that can be turned on/off that might be coming into play
foggy hazel
i know
foggy hazel
oh joy, that is nothing like the menu the manual has
pastel briar
For example on my Coby TV I can go to Picture > Advanced Video > OverScan > on/off, I would suggest looking for such a option @paper magnet
paper magnet
Hdmi was on something else
foggy hazel
good to see you fixed it @paper magnet
paper magnet
I didn't have overscan
pastel briar
it might be called something different depending on the TV mfg
but the function is basically the same
paper magnet
But now i can play games
foggy hazel
aye, should still fix your drivers first thou @paper magnet
paper magnet
thought i had everything? but im dumb
pastel briar
@paper magnet agreed, would suggest following Naed's suggestion and make sure your drivers are in order ๐
foggy hazel
so, should i understand that as you having installed the first one?
paper magnet
yes
paper magnet
maybe
foggy hazel
please go to the folder where you downloaded those two files
foggy hazel
correct
paper magnet
and from there?
foggy hazel
right click the "realtek_nahimic_UAD_audio" file and select unpack
paper magnet
okay, on my screen it was extract all
foggy hazel
same deal :)
paper magnet
i should scroll down and run setup correct?
foggy hazel
you will end up with a folder named "nahimic"
and yes, the "setup.exe" is the one you want
right click and "run as admin"
midnight pelican
should i spend more on fans than hardware?
foggy hazel
@midnight pelican short answer: no
midnight pelican
F ok then
foggy hazel
long answer: No
stoic island
lol
paper magnet
Okay its restarting now to finish the install
foggy hazel
@paper magnet that is normal :)
after that, you should be ready to enjoy your new system
paper magnet
Dont i need drivers for the hardrive and ssd?
foggy hazel
please, as Box has said a number of times, do be proud and pat yourself on the back
nope, that comes with windows
paper magnet
Okay
foggy hazel
you have had a machine with windows 10 before?
paper magnet
Just my old desktop that kinda crapped out on me
Its been a year since ive touched a computer
foggy hazel
when your machine has restarted, please run windows update
paper magnet
And im also running on little sleep, hospital issues
paper magnet
Its updating now
pastel briar
@midnight pelican Really long answer: why? do they do things like drive you to where you want to go, make breakfast in bed, and are gold plated?
long escarp
Should my GPU fans be running all the time to keep the card cool or should I allow it to be on auto? I dont really care about the noise.
stoic island
I would allow it to be on auto, unless auto makes it too loud for you
@pastel briar Really Really long answer: How the heck can you spend more on fans than actual hardware? are you buying like 16 LL120s in an iGPU build?

Well, I just ordered the case for my build. I needed to do something to commit myself, or I was going to continue waffling forever. Still going to wait till next month before I buy anything else... I just wanted to move on that deal for the case.
stoic island
Case should be fine, but do make sure you buy ALL the electronics at the same time, so when you build it, you'll still be within the window of time for returns if anything is DoA.@cold sorrel
jovial ruin
so i was hopefully when the psu i ordered starting moving again and had a delivery date.. then it went back to giving me no date. Everything came last friday, had 2 day shipping. PSU got stuck in CA, then started to move so it said tuesday, then it said monday, now it says nothing again. Starting to wonder how many weeks itll take to get here. I'm curious, is there a way to just tell them to ship it back, and get a refund? Or do i have to wait til it finally arrives, then request a refund that would obv be denied since if it takes 2 months to get here, its past the return date...
cold sorrel
I know that. I have to wait and hope that good power supplies start coming back in stock next month.
jovial ruin
i got lucky, my buddy had a few year old 650w evga supernova
foggy hazel
@jovial ruin talk with customer service
jovial ruin
so im just using that
yea ill have to give em a call, its hard cuz it DID get shipped out, im watching the ups tracking
its just stuck in CA and has been all week lol
paper magnet
ya know, im salty i gotta open the case back up to get a number off the board to register it
pastel briar
@paper magnet before you do that, go to the box it came in, Serials, P/N's are usually written on the out side
or in the manual possibly
paper magnet
the three number code wasnt on the box
but i got it
now i need to wait for the rgb splitter cable to come in the mail because the three front case fans are not synched with the motherboard, but i expected that
cold sorrel
But hey, your machine works. It's just got a few last glitches that need sorting out

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing great.
I have a 4790k and sli 980 ti. Intel is now the new old amd just upping the ghz by increasing tdps. I was thinking of getting the new 10900k and waiting for the 3080ti. Anyone got any thoughts or should I chill the f down and wait for next gear?
I mostly game and do work stuff. I donโt stream yet but Iโve been thinking about it. Also I game 1080p but Iโm thinking of going 1440p when the new 3080 ti comes.
Thanks in advance โ๐ผ
little osprey
sli 980 on a quad core, how much bottleneck in the new stuff?
foggy hazel
@hot falcon imo, let things settle down. Rumours are currently at the "silly for the sake of being silly" levels of silly
little osprey
does amd have a slot to compete with the 10900 or is it just competing with the 37-3800 and 47-4800 for more expensive?
hot falcon
@sudden turret posted pic on build pics (not the best cable management since im testing rgbs lol

@foggy hazel makes sense

@little osprey highest from amd (at this point in time is the 5700xt)
little osprey
im talking cpu's lol
foggy hazel
thats dual 8 pin aint it?
hot falcon
@little osprey im pretty sure its just cause games like those higher clocks but now you need a great cooling solution to get thos 5.3 or 5.4ghz than im seeing
foggy hazel
@little osprey i misread, my mind was thinking about the other conversation :)
hot falcon
@iambox haha cool
foggy hazel
@little osprey and its not amd that has to compete with intel, its the other way around at the moment
little osprey
i guess the 10900 would be competing with amd's 12 core? same price bracket?
foggy hazel
"m pretty sure its just cause games like those higher clocks but now you need a great cooling solution to get thos 5.3 or 5.4ghz than im seeing" <- that is kinda going away
there are limits to that
as in, yes, 1-2 cores that are fast is nice and all
but if you dont have a bunch of cores for the rest of the game/program?
you are going to be miserable
hot falcon
Gaming wise intel is still "king" cause theyre doing what amd used to do and now have this super boost velocity whatever that you can only really attain without throttling with a great cooler. And percentage wise its not that much of an improvement in fps real world.
That is true
There are games now taking advantage of more than just single core
foggy hazel
there have been for a while
hot falcon
Im guessing it really depends on the games you play
foggy hazel
the difference is the "floor" is moving up
give it a couple years and the "slowest" machines will be quads
as in, office machines in beige boxes
hot falcon
Im not a blue or red fanboy. I want whats best without having to pay an arm and a leg for little improvementm
I hope so cause a lot of companies are still in windows 7 with i5s and standard hd lol
foggy hazel
consider this, you are aware that there are new consoles on the way right?
hot falcon
Yup
foggy hazel
the cpu in those is basically a 3700x from amd
thats a 8core, 16thread model
thats one heck of "lowest common"
hot falcon
Theyve always used amd tho. Have you seen the 4900hs? In the little asus laptop? Its mind blowing how little power it uses and how fast it performs while lasting 9 hours with a 2060 rtx.
foggy hazel
guess where that cpu "core" is used too?
hot falcon
Its def amds time and its been like that for a minute. Im glad though because it means intel has to start doing real innovation and nut just 14mm refresh like this 10900k
foggy hazel
(the one in the 4900HS)

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing great.
I have a 4790k and sli 980 ti. Intel is now the new old amd just upping the ghz by increasing tdps. I was thinking of getting the new 10900k and waiting for the 3080ti. Anyone got any thoughts or should I chill the f down and wait for next gear?
I mostly game and do work stuff. I donโt stream yet but Iโve been thinking about it. Also I game 1080p but Iโm thinking of going 1440p when the new 3080 ti comes.
Thanks in advance โ๐ผ
@hot falcon
Short answer "calm the F down and chill", just let things settle down
Longer answer: I would honestly go with AMD , you get more options and upgrade paths and you can usually decide what you want to upgrade IE you can keep your RAM and Mainboard but upgrade the CPU when you want
foggy hazel
@hot falcon its the same "core" as the 3700x i mentioned, which again, is the same as the consoles will be using
pastel briar
I was on team blue for a bit, but I got tired of having to upgrade the RAM and mainboard every time I wanted to upgrade the CPU to the latest one so I switched to AMD on Ryzen 7 2700X and I ain't looking back ๐
sudden turret
3700x so good.
hot falcon
Thanks guys, i was thinking of preordering but im going to let the reviews come out first and let gamer nexus and all those folks give me the rundown. Maybe ill go the 3900x route. Im kind in a rough spot cause sli is dying and i may end up waiting for the 3080ti because it sounds promising with that 7nm

oh i cant send link
@sudden turret can i send you a link for my part list and u tell me if its good

@bold rune I got you a slightly better PSU (gold vs bronze) and it is slightly less in price
oh and its fully modular
so better cable management capabilities

Question, brand new to building pc here, what is some of the best times to get parts on sale?
Also, what are some good guides to watch for actually putting together the PC?
pastel briar
@cosmic folio
Answer, when the new stuff starts dropping/coming out
sadly there is not an exact answer to this question, but generally when new stuff comes out, is the best time for buying deals/sales as the stores and other venders will have "older stuff" they want to move so they will drop prices to make room for any new things coming out
as for guides LTT is pretty good, Bitwit, Jayztwocents, TechYEScity
to name a few
just search something along the lines of "bitwit build a pc with me"
heck I have even helped people in the past over video to build there first PC
(yes I build PCs as a job ๐ and work with servers also)
cosmic folio
I'm legit tErRIFIed I'm gonna fry something so I might ask you for help ๐
pastel briar
that is fine and your going to do fine, if the plug doesn't fit, either flip it around, if it still won't fit try another socket
cosmic folio
Lol ๐
pastel briar
as long as your not activly trying to fry things your good
as for building vids here ya go
literally a manual on building a pc
hot falcon
@c@pastel briar im subbed to all those guys and they're dope
pastel briar
yup
I agree
I am thinking of getting into the youtube content creator scene but not really sure yet...plus I don't have a camera yet, just a simple 1080P camera (I know im behind the times)

i*
sudden turret

edgy cape
of the power supply cuz im worried if they wont fit
yeah or are all power supplys near the same size
sudden turret
what prebuilt do you have, and what PSU are you looking at getting
sudden turret
do you know the psu in your IBP build
edgy cape
no i have a picture tho
sudden turret
send a way
edgy cape
sudden turret
ooh
edgy cape
and this power supply is so loud and garbage
but iu was just wondering if https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W4PLZWH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
would fit in my case
edgy cape
sudden turret
If hei can ping ya with his input, he can get ya on the right path for a good, safe psu
sudden turret
yeah, he know psu's inside and out.
little osprey
I've just placed an order for one
sudden turret
that 10 year warranty sounds nice thogh
pastel briar
@edgy cape that is an ATX PSU from what I see, you might want to get a picture with the whole unit in fram to be sure, but you should be A-ok with a ATX psu
sudden turret
nah
edgy cape
cuz u were saying earlier ur not sure bout seasonic
edgy cape

I was looking at ultrawide curveds

unsure what to actually spend the money on

best place 2 buy graphic cards or dosent really matter if i get it from amazon

Hey guys quick question. Do you suggest I get a SSD NVMe for my x399 taichi mobo or should i use an SSD SATA?
edgy cape
god persona 5 music never gets old
little osprey
Gaming, 3D rendering/graphical design, some basic work stuff too
I'm fine with buying 2 monitors as well
edgy cape
pogs
sudden turret
ah
sacred obsidian
ultrawide isnt super great for gaming but its awesome for work. and its fine for gaming lol
sudden turret
budget for monitor(s)
sacred obsidian
dual is fine yes
little osprey
I'm fine with dropping around 600-1,100 on a single monitor
sacred obsidian
triple usually is better cooled but not needed
little osprey
@sudden turret
sacred obsidian
jesus
sudden turret
Then I suggest an Aorus monitor that @warm nova has
pastel briar
@edgy cape depending on your build you should be fine
edgy cape
might order from newegg instead of amazon
sudden turret
Aorus has the best of the best in monitors right now
edgy cape
ik it varies from here u live but newegg shiping does it take about a week?
oh what wrong with black
sacred obsidian
it has over heating issues i believe but theyre generally considered really bad cards
edgy cape
should i go for XC
sacred obsidian
i believe the XC is factory overclocked isnt it?
sudden turret
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
little osprey
Gigabyte AORUS @sudden turret ?
edgy cape
@sacred obsidian do u have a recommended 2080 super i shouild get then
sudden turret
its about 500ish
sacred obsidian
im not sure if its the overclocked one but the XC is good
edgy cape
ultra is cheaper then regular

Would it not be a bad idea and have an ultrawide monitor and a regular monitor for whatever your doing? Gaming monitor for serious gaming, switch to the ultrawide for anything else? @sudden turret
sacred obsidian
i believe it would be fine ๐คทโโ๏ธ its newegg so iif something went wrong theyd likely fix the issue. plus evgas warrenty is like 5 years
little osprey
shouldve said you are building a pc for a modded gta 5 account you want
sacred obsidian
ok i think the ultra is the OC one
also no worries
if im in the chat it doesnt actually ping
edgy cape
are oc good?
sacred obsidian
yes
factory oc means its faster than the base model but also still covered under warrenty
and stable
little osprey
ive never used EVGA and no one i really know has used it either
edgy cape
so if im thing happens i get a free repalcement
little osprey
is it worth trying out for my new build?
sacred obsidian
i love evga
sacred obsidian
and a friend of mine had her 1070 break right before warrenty ended and they sent her a 2060 (which is slightly better)
yes i do
little osprey
any specific card and cpu you guys recomend for a $1400 total build?

I have a XFX Radeon R9 280 with a HP IPM17-DD2 motherboard with a i5 7600k in it. My PSU is a Corsair CX750M. I need a case that I should purchase that can house the components I have right now and later my GPU upgrade. I don't want some crazy expensive case but preferably I would like the color white. Also, I want to keep my GPU expense between $200-300 so if you have any suggestions please let me know! โค๏ธ
