or someones

[wary geode]

its rly dumb

but im trying to hop on the reselling tack

im doing a build with a 3470

youll see in build pics soon tho

[misty heron]

ooh

so if i buy all the parts in store

like in person

it will be cheaper righjt?

[jagged ember]

even at the same price point you don't have to pay for shipping

[misty heron]

but what if its free shipping

[jagged ember]

I don't have micro center where I am, but from experience getting parts in person can be cheaper

[wary geode]

si

and fast

speed is key

and psu there are actuallly 45$

[misty heron]

are there any good budget mobos

[wary geode]

si

for the 3600?

asrock b450 gigabit tomahawkmax

uhh Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula

[pastel briar]

im debating on picking up an Nvidia Tesla GDDR 5 for $55

[wary geode]

its the mitochonria

[misty heron]

are the better mobos just for holding everything on the board?

[wary geode]

of the pc

[misty heron]

or does it add speed for the pc

[wary geode]

better heatsinks vram

[misty heron]

im only seeing msi tomahawks

[wary geode]

better cooling better for overclock

[stoic island]

actually

[misty heron]

its gonna be in the corner

[wary geode]

i agree but i like the rgb one

[misty heron]

where it can neglect itself

[stoic island]

there is only 1 kit from team I would suggest

[wary geode]

g skill sells 70$

[stoic island]

and that's their dark ram for b die ocing

[wary geode]

XD yeah thatsa the only good one

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/xsbfP6

[stoic island]

yes

[misty heron]

[stoic island]

@wary geode no need

[misty heron]

u like my 2ssd and 1hdd?

[stoic island]

it performes the same unless you OC

There were forum posts about Aegis vs Ripjaw kits

[wary geode]

makes sense its sitting in the cornor so its fine

[misty heron]

[stoic island]

shouldn't have to

[wary geode]

nah

[misty heron]

if i reuse my drives

yayyyy

[wary geode]

[misty heron]

i can save 9 whole dollars by going to stores and buying

[wary geode]

yeah

[misty heron]

yayy

[wary geode]

or 20 more from mirco center.....

just sayin the cpu and mb deal is good...

[misty heron]

which one?

oh right they are still open

[stoic island]

@misty heron first, do you live near a micro center

[misty heron]

yes

[stoic island]

Okay then go ahead

[misty heron]

but im not building yet

im just planning

[stoic island]

I live like 4 hours away from any micro center by car

[wary geode]

3600 for 160 and mb deal and u get the 3600 for 140....

just sayin

[misty heron]

does that come with a cpu fan?

[wary geode]

si

[stoic island]

you gotta link the mb deal

[misty heron]

Link ittt

so i can be like

heyyyy u got this deal?

and they hook me up

[wary geode]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/608320/amd-ryzen-5-3600-matisse-36ghz-6-core-am4-boxed-processor-with-wraith-stealth-cooler

heres the cpu and in store u buy a mb and get 20 off

[misty heron]

oooohhh

i was looking at that

i put that in my build for 159

so do i get rid of mb?

[wary geode]

hehe i budget a lot

nope

[misty heron]

in my build

on ppp

[wary geode]

u can keep it it should count as a deal

just cheaper

[misty heron]

the tomahawk and cpu?

is still showing as 160

total

or nmo

260

[stoic island]

doesn't show up huh

[wary geode]

yea but if u buy it in store its 240

lol

[stoic island]

if you live close you can go in store and ask about it

[wary geode]

yeah

they run deals all the time for it

[misty heron]

but should i really buy now

[stoic island]

ask if they have tomahawk max board and cpu, and if they are doing deal

[wary geode]

any mb with the cpu is 20$ off

[misty heron]

cause im just gonna haev it sit

[wary geode]

u dont need to buy now

[stoic island]

Buy everything or buy nothing

[misty heron]

yea im buying nothing

[wary geode]

yep what he said

[stoic island]

that is the philosophy you should go with

[misty heron]

but whatif the deal goes away D:

[wary geode]

it wont its amd

[misty heron]

lol

[stoic island]

I'm pretty sure that deal has been here for like

months

[misty heron]

really? its year round?

[wary geode]

yeah

it has

[misty heron]

what if i build a new pc next year

[wary geode]

cheaper

[stoic island]

I remember my friend messaging me about it last year when 3rd gen dropped

[wary geode]

cheaper

[misty heron]

it comes with thermal paste right?

[wary geode]

cheaper

[stoic island]

Yes

[wary geode]

si

[stoic island]

the cooler has thermal paste preapplied

[misty heron]

nut

i dont have to do more work!

so my pc should only be what 840 instead of 865?

[wary geode]

si

[misty heron]

if i go in person

[wary geode]

si

[misty heron]

20 whole dollars!!

[stoic island]

dont forget taxes

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/xsbfP6

ughh

should i get a bigger psu

if i dont plan on ocing?

[stoic island]

if you can wait

better PSUs will come into stock

[misty heron]

cause its at 430w needed

[wary geode]

dont think

[misty heron]

like would i need 600w or more?

[wary geode]

kaboom

sry just wanted to say that

[misty heron]

i should be studying for my ap exam rrn XD

[wary geode]

internet

use it

[misty heron]

but nahh i need more information!

[wary geode]

its the best weapon

[misty heron]

i dont think i can use docs shared with everyone

right? isnt that the rule?

so 430W needed can survive with 550W psu?

[wary geode]

si

or kaboom

jk

[misty heron]

im scareddd

[wary geode]

hehe i like scaring people

[misty heron]

my mom wont let me buy anything rn cause my computer works fine but i want 144fps on fortnite!!!!

reeeee

[wary geode]

lol i pull 190 with mine somehow

[misty heron]

190fps???

[wary geode]

and my gpu isnt even good

[misty heron]

do u oc tho

[wary geode]

si

[misty heron]

its more cpu based

[wary geode]

very little tho

2700 is an excelent cpu

i like it

good for streaming and editing

[misty heron]

better than 3600?

when oc?

[wary geode]

prob not just has more cores and threads

[misty heron]

can i just reuse my case?

[wary geode]

yeah

what case u have now

[misty heron]

but idk if it has good airflow

[stoic island]

2700 is worse than 3600 for gaming

[wary geode]

whatt caseee

[stoic island]

due to IPS improvements from 3rd gen

[misty heron]

lemme try to find it

[wary geode]

yeah thats what i thought

[stoic island]

I had a 2700 :p

[wary geode]

but i stream more than record

[stoic island]

what clocks do you have yours at

[misty heron]

the nzxt is so hot thooo

[stoic island]

I had 4.175ghz at 1.35v

on a 2700

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kb66Mp/diypc-solo-t2-r-black-usb-30-atx-mid-tower-case-solo-t2-r

[stoic island]

I'd pass on that lol

[misty heron]

really?

[still roost]

2rsfrs#0169 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[misty heron]

oops

sorry

i put the drives and things everywhere

[wary geode]

3.9 1.3125 or something

[misty heron]

so like its not optimized

[stoic island]

looks wack

[misty heron]

i feel like i should fix it

but my stuff is really quiet

i hope i dont get shocked

cause i plan on opening it and actually doing cable management

after my exam

[wary geode]

thats what i always say but my case is small and cable management is badd

[misty heron]

is micro center the cheapest place to get stuff from?

[buoyant flame]

Usually

[wary geode]

si

[buoyant flame]

They have a lot of great deals

[wary geode]

or shelll shocker for newegg

i usally pricematch it

[misty heron]

whats price matching?

[meager relic]

See 2rsfrs they can help you 😛

[wary geode]

at mc

[misty heron]

who can help?

i can be like "but this place has it cheaper?"

[wary geode]

its when you see a cheaper deal on amazon newegg and you have the product the same price as them

my pc cost like 655 and its hecka rgb

[misty heron]

and then they price match it?

[wary geode]

si

and either way you get it at the price

[misty heron]

oooh

that means if they have it in stock i can potentially get everything at microcenter?

[sudden turret]

https://www.newegg.com/tools/custom-pc-builder

[sudden turret]

🙂

[wary geode]

is that new or im dumb

[stoic island]

its new

and in beta

[wary geode]

oh thats cool

i guess but pcpartpicker shows all websites

[sudden turret]

yeah

[stoic island]

wegg is neat tho

[sudden turret]

but this is newegg exclusive though..

instead of having to go to each website, this is an ADD ALL TO CART.

bam, at your door.

[wary geode]

no offence but pcpart picker does it for amazon too

[misty heron]

but what if its more expensive

[sudden turret]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you are in a newegg discord.

[wary geode]

i mean amazon trash for pc parts tho

[stoic island]

we just need more products on wegg

[sudden turret]

so

yeah

[wary geode]

i be quiet nwo

[stoic island]

wegg wegg masterrace

[wary geode]

great idea

[stoic island]

Wegg-Noctua partnership time

[wary geode]

i agree

[stoic island]

[wary geode]

yes

but change the color plz

[misty heron]

lol

theres a b450 plus max and b450 max

whats the difference?

[stoic island]

they do have chromax stuff

[wary geode]

si

[sudden turret]

@stoic island https://newegg.io/cbc85b5

[misty heron]

whats a chromax

so should i get the max or plus max?

[wary geode]

wait @sudden turret can all products come same day with the builder

cause i hate waiting day after day for parts

[sudden turret]

probably

[misty heron]

and whats refurbished?

[stoic island]

no

[misty heron]

are those prone to breaking?

[wary geode]

used but new

[misty heron]

so should i avoid or?

[stoic island]

bad ssd box

[wary geode]

ehh its good i guess

[misty heron]

everythings out of stock

lmao

ig ill be going to microcenter!

but in like half a year XD

oh no my exam starts in half an hr

[wary geode]

yeah but newegg is cheap for stuff once coronacation ends

[misty heron]

i need to download cheatsheets!!

cheaper than mc?

[wary geode]

tbh they are head to head compatitors for price

some things are just cheaper at newegg and more varioations like extra fans and cases

but mirco center is good for cpu and mb and possibly gpu

[stoic island]

Sometimes cheaper at newegg sometimes cheaper at microcenter

[wary geode]

si

[stoic island]

both are really good for pricing

Amazon is only for parts not avaliable elsewhere

[misty heron]

so where would i go to compare both prices?

[wary geode]

yep

[misty heron]

just walk into store then search up on newegg?

[wary geode]

google

si

thats what i did

[misty heron]

hahaha

ig thats what imma do

but what if the piece is broken

[wary geode]

got half form newegg price match and half from mirco center

except my ram where corsair was cheaper for some reason

sue

[misty heron]

omgg

newegg and microcenter

both are near my locationn!!!

muhahaha!!!

[wary geode]

@sudden turret whats ur spec

[misty heron]

how do i check what ram stick i have rn?

[sudden turret]

with your eyes...

[misty heron]

no like model!1

does it say on the stick?

[wary geode]

should

[misty heron]

my build is 865 rn 😄

yayyy

i wish i was smart enough to oc

safely

[wary geode]

its ez

[strong yoke]

hi

[misty heron]

ikkk but last time i tried my gpu broke

[strong yoke]

im having some trouble

[sudden turret]

parts now adays, you don't need to OC.

[misty heron]

srsly?

[sudden turret]

serious.

[misty heron]

im bouta not then XD

my first attempt make my gpu have those colored lines in the middle

[strong yoke]

im using my RTX 2060 Super with MSI Afterburner and im setting the speed down to 25, but it INSTANTLY sets it back up to 100

[misty heron]

then it broke

[sudden turret]

back in the day, it was actually useful to squeeze as much outta your stuff

[strong yoke]

doesnt anyone know the solution to this?

[sudden turret]

but now it's really not needed

[misty heron]

not me im noob

[sudden turret]

speed?

the fans?

[strong yoke]

oh

uh

its an RTX 2060 Super

[sudden turret]

what are you trying to change...

'speed' can mean many things.

[strong yoke]

the speed of the GPU fans

i set it to 25

but it goes back up to 100 instantly

and it doesnt show on MSI

so

[stoic island]

..?

[strong yoke]

i think its another software

or the card

[stoic island]

What brand of card

[sudden turret]

@agile holly you still around?

[meager relic]

iambox ty for dealing with that. hope that didnt cause you much of an annoyance

[sudden turret]

what are you even talking about?

[pastel briar]

.....eh?

[stoic island]

Yes

[sullen spoke]

yes?

[sudden turret]

ok.

[pastel briar]

nyet...

[misty heron]

no

[cold sorrel]

I'm still over here waiting on next month before I buy the rest of my parts for my build. (I only bought the case early because I got a good deal on it.)

[little osprey]

How do I explain to someone the difference in performance between a ryzen 9 3900x+ a 2080ti and a Intel i7-9700k+2070?

[stoic island]

Uhm

[woeful agate]

can anyone please config an 800 cad pc for me if possible

[little osprey]

My bad

[stoic island]

4k 100fps performance vs 1440p 100fps performance

[little osprey]

Yes

I tried by saying that the ryzen makes the Intel look like a gameboy

[woeful agate]

I will be using it for gaming/recording/editing

[stoic island]

Lol

The better GPU just shreds

[cold sorrel]

Now if the tracking website would just update so I know where my case is. Depending on where it is, I can reliably estimate when it'll actually get here.

[woeful agate]

please conig

config

[fast dust]

@woeful agate it’s really hard to build a decent computer cause prices are super inflated or things are out of stock.
I’d say wait

[woeful agate]

@fast dust I can wait, but can I just get the Pc configured

please

[fast dust]

Oh you just want a list?

[woeful agate]

yeah

[fast dust]

Doesn’t matter if things on the list are OOS?

[woeful agate]

yes

wait

wut is OOS

[fast dust]

Out of stock

[stoic island]

Out of stock

[woeful agate]

oh

yeah its fine

[fast dust]

@stoic island you gotta have a $800 list somewhere. Doesn’t matter if things are oos

[woeful agate]

I wont be ordering stuff already

[stoic island]

Not 800 cad

[woeful agate]

why

[stoic island]

I had 800 usd list

[woeful agate]

:/

[fast dust]

What’s 800 cad to usd?

[woeful agate]

571 usd

[fast dust]

570

Oh yeah

[woeful agate]

ok

Is it possible to config a good gaming pc with that budget?

800 cad

[fast dust]

It won’t be the best PC, but it’ll be good enough for like 1080p gaming

[woeful agate]

yea

I know

[fast dust]

Actually, Cake, there’s new Ryzen processors launching soon. Personally I’d wait until those come out

But idk when there coming out...

[woeful agate]

oh

please just config

if there are new cpus

imma increase my budget to 1000

so I can get new mobo cpu and all that

[fast dust]

Hmm

I’m not at my computer right now, so idk if I can make a list soon

Sorry @stoic island but Cake here is in need of your help

You got an old $550 build lying around?

[stoic island]

I'll become a teachie

[woeful agate]

teachie lmao

[stoic island]

Yes I shall always have like 50 warnings

[sullen spoke]

[fast dust]

Mr1 what did you do to get those

I must not have been here

[woeful agate]

@stoic island can I change cpu to 5 3600

[stoic island]

Swear

A lot

[fast dust]

Lmao

[stoic island]

@woeful agate sure if it fits in the budget

[woeful agate]

kk

[stoic island]

Teachie sounds like a role Naed should have

[fast dust]

3300x will perform better but 3600 has more cores and threads if I’m not mistaken

[woeful agate]

so which one

I mmean yea

it has like 2 more cores

but which one

perf or cores

[fast dust]

Are you gonna be live-streaming?

If so, I’d say 3600

If you’re just gaming, go for 3300x

[woeful agate]

sometimes live streaming

on facebook

I play roblox then stream it

[fast dust]

Pfft

3300x

[woeful agate]

u sure?

[fast dust]

If you’re just streaming roblox a 3300x can do it no problem

[woeful agate]

OK

[fast dust]

Roblox is mad easy to run

[woeful agate]

NOICE

lol

Thats literally all I play

I sometimes play terraria tho

[fast dust]

...

You don’t need an $800 PC

[woeful agate]

ok?...

[fast dust]

$400 or less would cut it lol

[woeful agate]

nah

[fast dust]

But your choice I guess

[sullen spoke]

teachie role when

[fast dust]

Your PC won’t reach its full potential probably ever with those games

[sullen spoke]

xD

[fast dust]

#teachierole

[sullen spoke]

roblox is weird game, it easy to run but not optimized for higher refresh

[stoic island]

Ye

[sullen spoke]

which make sense tho

they cap fps at 60 to try make things at least a bit even, a good entry level game platform

[woeful agate]

@fast dust when I get a job when Im 14, imma upgrade as I go

[sullen spoke]

800 budget is fine if you plan to use it for long time or you plan to play/do other things in future

[woeful agate]

im 12

turning 13 in like 4 months

[fast dust]

My sister has an HP stream or something with the worst celeron I’ve ever seen (worse than i3-530) and it still runs Roblox.

[sullen spoke]

a build with a amd apu could run roblox or terraria fine, but be harder to upgrade

[woeful agate]

nah

[fast dust]

Why do they even make HP stream laptops...

[woeful agate]

Imma go with the build he confiured for me

[fast dust]

They’re a threat to humanity

[sullen spoke]

lol

[fast dust]

I cry every time I use that HP stream

[stoic island]

Lol

[sullen spoke]

My friend has a stream laptop, can barely run LoL

[fast dust]

Yep

“QuAd CoRe CeLeROn”

Performs like a pentium 4 bruh

[woeful agate]

yo guys

ok nvm

[sullen spoke]

not even, her laptop has 2 core 1.1ghz cpu

[fast dust]

Yuck

Yucky yucky

[sullen spoke]

i can't remember which chip

[woeful agate]

lmao

LMAO

🤣

I cannot stop laughing!

1.1ghz

🤣

2 cores

🤣

[fast dust]

Drop down just a little bit... not even 1 GHz

[woeful agate]

LMAO

lol'

lol

When you probably try to run Ark survival evolved on that thing it will burn your house

[fast dust]

Most laptop processors have a base speed of around 2ish GHz to conserve power

[sullen spoke]

she ask me why valorant won't work

i check and the minimum spec went up

[stoic island]

Lol

[sudden turret]

ears perk up

did someone say ARK.

[sullen spoke]

[fast dust]

Box is a cat

[stoic island]

Evil valorant

No, cat is in the box.

[sullen spoke]

my vanguard still broken

[fast dust]

[sullen spoke]

too lazy to fix

oi

[stoic island]

Bruh

[sullen spoke]

what was that

[sudden turret]

.>

[sullen spoke]

[stoic island]

You're supposed to be a mod

Wtf was that

[sudden turret]

to many stim berries.

[fast dust]

I too would like to see that

[sudden turret]

https://tenor.com/view/tek-rex-tyrannus-tier-ark-gif-10043073

[fast dust]

I’ve never played ark

I’ve heard it’s good tho

[sudden turret]

it can be

with the right people

[fast dust]

Don’t know that that means but okay

[sudden turret]

well

solo it can be boring

but with a group of people, can be less boring.

you play RUST?

[fast dust]

Nah

Is it kinda like that?

[sudden turret]

same concept though

with dinos

[fast dust]

I see

[sudden turret]

grind, gather mats, build base.

get bored.

quit playing

[stoic island]

Rust can be fun

[sudden turret]

unless you PVP

then you build mega structure, crush noobs.

[fast dust]

Nice

[sudden turret]

I don't pvp, so PvE is my thing

[woeful agate]

does anyone play arsenal roblox

[sudden turret]

buuild base, hoard mats.

[woeful agate]

if you do, wanna 1v1?

I have a vip

server

[pastel briar]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/303322795806?ul_noapp=true

worth or no? it is a dual CPU, but both are quad cores...hard to decide, would be better if it was a bit lower cost too IMO....

[vague crystal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vCt8vW
somone made this for me, theme is red/black. Using this for emulation, mini itx build or at most itx. emulation of the kind im doing is more clock speed/single core performance, and budget is 800 usd. you can swap out card to amd, cemu perfers opengl, but Vulkan is still fine.

this is a future build btw

[harsh bolt]

I play rust. I host a server also. I'm always looking for new people to play with

[cold sorrel]

Oh sure, now the keyboard I want is back in stock after I ordered my case.

[pastel briar]

I shouldn't have to reinstall windows if all I am doing is changing from one main board to another? (I know I may need to redo some drivers and that is fine)

[little osprey]

Pretty sure it’s just based off storage

[minor wing]

Can I link my pc part picker list here so I can get some opinions or it or in the links channel ?

[pastel briar]

sure if you want to

[minor wing]

Ok cool

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Xenno12/saved/

Normally the cpu isn’t 300$ lol

Around 170

[woeful agate]

yo guys
can the Radeon HD 7800 handle two monitors
cause that is my gpu

[stoic island]

2012 gpu...

prob not

especially not games

[sullen spoke]

technically it can

might be a bit laggy with games especially when trying to alt tab to go to second or something

[stoic island]

just because you can doesnt mean you should

go run crysis 3 on iGPU >:D

[sullen spoke]

lol

I would probably recommend you get a bit of an upgrade before you worry about multi monitor tho

[pastel briar]

I ran crysis on an iGPU....at 5 FPS...

it kind of worked at least

[sullen spoke]

reminds me of the old days

[pastel briar]

yup, I remember games choking on the iGPU, fun times

[low shoal]

hi, im a computer noobie and need help building a pc. could anyone help?

[little osprey]

i can

can pm, if you like

[low shoal]

okay cool, lets do it

[little leaf]

one last check before I give it to my frie

[low shoal]

how do i see your pm, ive never used discord lol

will someone help me

[pastel briar]

Im here also...

to see DMs check the bar to the left on your screen and you should have an icon with a red dot with a number in it

if your oh a mobile device swipe right (no this ain't tender) and same process from there

click the icon with red dot with number and there ya go

[languid oak]

need a power supply 650 anyone see one on stock?

[misty heron]

when building a new pc can i reuse a 4 year old psu?

[sudden turret]

sure

[misty heron]

really?

[wide sparrow]

Yes

[sudden turret]

well

[misty heron]

ooh thats 60 dollars more saved!!1

YESSS

[sudden turret]

depends on the wattage

and the wattage of your new build

[misty heron]

how do i check my psu

[sudden turret]

you look at it.

[misty heron]

i have to open it up?

[sudden turret]

should be a label on it.

[oak moss]

🤔

[potent prairie]

Might be a bad idea, but I'mma use command strips to hold in my makeshift cpu cooler :)

[hybrid ravine]

Should I get the Corsair K95 or the Apex Pro?

Dm opinions

[buoyant flame]

I'm biased to apex pro because I have it @hybrid ravine

[tepid basalt]

one vote for corsair

the apex looks kinda flashy to me

[buoyant flame]

What if we like flashy

[cursive wharf]

K95 is heavily overpriced

Wooting Two is where I'd go

[tepid basalt]

you just love rgb

[wary tundra]

I have a dumb combo but I want to ask it anyways

3300x with a 2080 super

[fast dust]

Well if you can get a hefty overclock on the 3300x I think that’d actually work kinda good

Considering the 3300x with a massive overclock beats i9 9900 in FPS with a 2080 TI

I think

[wary tundra]

that would be such a funny combo

[fast dust]

Quad core with 2080 s

[wary tundra]

imagine

3330x with a 2080ti

[fast dust]

Tech Yes City did a 3100 and 3300X video and paired them with 2080 TI

But ik you’re not a fan of Brian

[lyric thistle]

Sempron with 2080Ti

[wary tundra]

I dont like that guy

[fast dust]

Yeah I remember you saying that

Truly is a shame

[wary tundra]

it is

I might give him one more chance

[fast dust]

I really like him

I kinda look up to him

But that sounds nerdy 😅

[wary tundra]

nah its all good

[fast dust]

He does what I do but times like 7

Always going out and just buying whatever used PC part he wants

I don’t have the money for that so I watch him do it

I just have to focus on one PC flip at a time

[wary tundra]

that would be fun

[misty heron]

Do i really have to replace my psu? It been running for 4 years and is 650w

[still roost]

Tdog#9924 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[little osprey]

my cpu is bad

intel pentium

i'm looking into ryzen

[fast dust]

Ryzen gang

What Ryzen you looking at

[lyric thistle]

3000G

[fast dust]

Athlon gang

Athlon 3000g would be a great upgrade from pentium

But Ryzen would be better

[misty heron]

I have anthlon 880k :>)

But can someone andwer my question xD

[fast dust]

About the power supply?

What’s the power supply make and model

@misty heron

[misty heron]

It is idk

This is what i saw on it

[fast dust]

Wow

Thermaltake smart

[misty heron]

Is that bad?

[fast dust]

But it looks like the old version?

[misty heron]

Oh its covered haha

[fast dust]

Honestly idk

[misty heron]

Yeah its like 4 years old

[fast dust]

Thermaltake smart series PSUs have a bad reputation

[misty heron]

Maybe more

Mine hasnt had any problems yet haha

[fast dust]

I’d replace... but I don’t know about that variation of the smart series

You can use it... but if it dies and takes other parts with it... that’s too bad

[misty heron]

Oh no see now im scared

[fast dust]

Lol

[misty heron]

How long do bronze+ psus even last

Or general psus

[fast dust]

Power supply is nothing to joke about or cheap out on

An 80+ bronze rated PSU may not mean enything

It means it’s efficient, but only that

[misty heron]

This is it

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Wk2kcf/thermaltake-power-supply-sp650pcbus

[fast dust]

A power supply that’s bronze can be good or bad

Let me do more research on it right quick

[misty heron]

Ok

[fast dust]

How much did you buy it for

Approximately

[sacred obsidian]

that one is tier D

on the ltt psu tier list

[fast dust]

Yeah that's what I'm seeing

I'd say for sure replace it @misty heron

[sacred obsidian]

as long as you dont have parts that go near the 650 watt limit you should be fine

[misty heron]

I dont really remember the price

Hahaha

[fast dust]

Well he's had it for 4 years...

[misty heron]

Yeah

[fast dust]

If it's still in warranty then keep it

If not...

I'd personally replace it

[misty heron]

Newegg says that my new pc would take approx 410w or smthing

And im not oc my current pc until i am about to replace it

[sacred obsidian]

I mean you can replace it if you want but it should be okay as long as your parts aren't overdrawing power. when it dies, it probably wont take anything with it unless it's over drawing

[misty heron]

Anthlon 880k and zotac 1050mini rn

[fast dust]

Oh you're fine rn

[misty heron]

But im planning for a new pc in like half a year

[fast dust]

What CPU + GPU you planning on getting?

[misty heron]

Ummm

Ryzen 5 3600 and sapphire nitro 5700xt

[fast dust]

eeeee

Hmm

[sacred obsidian]

a lot can change in half a year, i wouldn't plan a build that far out

[fast dust]

^

[lyric thistle]

you can change a plan lmao

[misty heron]

Yeah

[sacred obsidian]

but with 4000 series ryzens and 3000 series gpus right around the corner it can drastically change a build

[misty heron]

I will change

But im going for budget and those new ones will be more expensive right?

[sacred obsidian]

i mean you can plan it but im saying things can change fast lol

[misty heron]

Yeah rn im just data collecting

I want to know more about computers

[fast dust]

new 3100 and 3300x will be relatively cheap

[sacred obsidian]

it will, yes, but that also could mean that you could potentially get better parts for cheaper as well

[misty heron]

But 3100 and 3300x is a smaller number than 3600?

[fast dust]

They're quad core but have amazing performance

[sacred obsidian]

yeah id just go for the 3600 personally lol

[misty heron]

Yeah

The cheaper the pc the more likely i can sneak buy parts from my mom to replace my current pc

So im just trying to save as much money as i can on old parts

[fast dust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL0noejaQUk

If you get a better cooler for 3300X you can put a nice overclock on it

But I guess that applies for the 3600 too

[misty heron]

Im not comfotrtable with ocingg

[silk estuary]

I got myself an nzxt x63 for my cooler

[fast dust]

IMO: If your just gaming, go 3300X to save money. If youre gonna be gaming and streaming or something of the sort. go 3600

[misty heron]

Ahh that was on my to do list for when my computer bouta break

[fast dust]

But thats just my opinion

[silk estuary]

Didnt come with thermal paste applied though, strangely enough

[misty heron]

Im trying to stream too

[silk estuary]

Looked used slightly and I bought it new /shrug

[misty heron]

I might hurt some people saying this

[silk estuary]

So i just bought my own thermal paste

[misty heron]

But my friend wants me to join a fortnite org with him

So i have to show them how “good” i am but like im bad at the game

I also wanna play valorant with better fps since im only getting like what 50-60 rn

[fast dust]

hm

[misty heron]

Yeah

Its a struggle haha

[little leaf]

@misty heron sneak it past your mom?

[misty heron]

Uuhhh yeah hahaha

She doesnt want me to buy a new computer cause she thinks just because it still works its a okay

[little osprey]

as only being 13, ive payed for my whole pc 600+ just by working, parents had no say

[misty heron]

Well i work too

But im asian so if i disobey thats a beating

How do u earn money when ur 13??

[little leaf]

You could try and do work in your neighborhood

if there is any at this time

[sacred obsidian]

mow lawns, babysit, be a dog walker, do extra chores you wouldn't normally do, etc

oh rake leaves. thats one i used to do as a kid and have yet to suggest lol

[misty heron]

LOL U GET PAID TO DO CHORES

[little leaf]

or you could convince your parents that you really need it

[misty heron]

hahahahhaha must be nice

Rake leaves???

[sullen spoke]

chores

[silent swift]

i work as a hitman

[misty heron]

My parents wouldnt even let me do yard work until this year whattt???

[misty heron]

Bro u hesr these people??

I was just allowed to use the lawnmower this year

And im 17 in a month!!

[sullen spoke]

not asian but my parents basically don't like anything i do and if i want something i gotta pay for it with a low allowance

[sacred obsidian]

my dad taught me to mow lawns at 7 .-.

[silent swift]

anyone wants to offer a job ???

[misty heron]

LOL U GET ALLOWANCE

must be nice

[sullen spoke]

I never use lawnmower and im 17 ._.

my dad don't let me

[sacred obsidian]

gotta learn at some point

[sullen spoke]

ya

[misty heron]

No like i wanted to learn

[sacred obsidian]

mowing sucks tho lol

[misty heron]

But they were like no ur not old enough

And now i dont want to do it and they force me to and im like wtf??

[sullen spoke]

my parents also don't trust me with their computers when i know more about em then they do -_-

[misty heron]

lol

[sacred obsidian]

my parents are like that too

my grandparents are a lot worse

[misty heron]

They make me fill out government forms for them but i am not old enough to mow the lawn like what??

[sacred obsidian]

my dad taught me to do basic matinance on cars, and now that i know more than him he won't listen to me when i tell him hes doing it wrong lol

[misty heron]

How old r u now?

[sacred obsidian]

im 26

[misty heron]

Oh well at least u learned right

[sacred obsidian]

yep. wonderful world of youtube

[misty heron]

Yeah

I fixed my fridge the other week with youtube

Wait but people seriously get allowance

Money like

Money you get for living??

[safe field]

Why are the USB 2.0 and 3.0 plugs attached like this

[misty heron]

Man i wish i had that

[sacred obsidian]

if you wanna make money and your parents wont pay you to do stuff you wouldn't normally do, post up papers with something like "Will rake your yard for 10 or 20$" or something and see if you get any takers.

[misty heron]

Whats ur weekly allowance @sullen spoke

[sacred obsidian]

i only got money for doing things i wouldn't normally do.

[misty heron]

lol i got a job at mcdonalds now

[sullen spoke]

just went from 5 to 7 a week

[misty heron]

But then my mom made me stop working bc of rona

What???? 7 whole dollars is a fat l

[safe field]

[sullen spoke]

still managed to save up for a decent setup

[sacred obsidian]

my parents paid me to mow the lawn (since i rarely did that at the time), babysit my younger siblings, clean the attic, help clean their room if needed, stuff like that.

[misty heron]

Mustve taken forver right

[sullen spoke]

several years yup

[misty heron]

What????

[sacred obsidian]

i still had to do dishes, clean living room, kitchen, my room, etc for free

[misty heron]

They dont force u to just so that

[sacred obsidian]

nope

[misty heron]

If my rooms messy and the doors open im getting yelled at

[echo tapir]

You’re getting paid

[misty heron]

Thats what im sayjn!!!

[sacred obsidian]

i had my own stuff to do. time is money 🤷‍♂️

[misty heron]

Chores are just another way to show my love and affection to my parents because they work

I dont get paid for it and i certainly dont get paid for just living

Mannn im jealous

[sacred obsidian]

well i mean now i have a job
