np 🙂

#

there's also a bunch of vids on YT on building a PC

little leaf
#

It wont explode unless you get bad gpu

livid sierra
#

yeah im a noob pc builder

little leaf
#

If you get bad psu

#

Boom

half crown
#

u can look at Bitwit or Jayz2cents videos

foggy hazel
#

@livid sierra please understand/know this: There are no stupid questions, only silly answers.

little leaf
#

Dont cheap out on psu

livid sierra
#

Apevia ATX-PR800W Prestige 800W 80+ Gold Certified, RoHS Compliance, Active PFC ATX Gaming Power Supply thats the one i purchased is that bad ?

#

not shipped yet so i can get my money back

#

i didnt just buy it i searched it up before buying

little leaf
#

What happens if bad psu not my but thats what hapens if you got bad psu

livid sierra
#

OH hell nah WOOOF

little leaf
half crown
#

oh wow Apevia

livid sierra
#

is mine bad for my pc tho ?

half crown
#

im not sure on Apevia's PSU's

#

i only knew Apevia to be a case manufacturer

little leaf
#

Never heard of them

half crown
#

didnt know they made PSU

#

Apevia used to be pretty big back then

livid sierra
#

look on the newegg website they have it to

half crown
#

what did the reviews on your power supply say?

#

damn it only has 1 review lol

#

at least its a 5 star review lmao

livid sierra
#

lots of mixed reviews

little leaf
#

Iooks no to good

#

Not

livid sierra
#

but you know people be careless with the stuff they purchase

half crown
#

yea im looking at amazon's reviews on it

livid sierra
#

more good than anything

little leaf
#

Imo I would buy from reputable brand with good warenty

#

Because you really dont need 800wats for a 2070s

half crown
#

you dont

little leaf
#

And a highmid ranged cpu

half crown
#

but the extra headroom is nice

#

i run a 850w with a 2070s when i had it

little leaf
#

But you dont know if it gonna break just saying

half crown
#

i use a 2080s now

livid sierra
#

which do you prefer ? thats what i was refered to when looking up good psu

half crown
#

whats ur total budget

#

try to go for modular PSU's

#

they are usually a bit more expensive but have a cleaner look since u can opt to not use wires u dont need

livid sierra
#

$1200/$1300

little leaf
#

Ok easy

#

You already have case right

half crown
#

yea u can build a solid rig with that

livid sierra
#

yes

half crown
#

either look at the Evga Supernova G series

little leaf
#

Aight ill do it in a sec

half crown
#

or Seasonic

livid sierra
#

im new to this lmao slow down

half crown
#

my bad lol

livid sierra
#

im a new born pc builder

little leaf
#

Go eith a or a- psu from above

livid sierra
#

@little leaf idk what that is

half crown
#

ive used evga PSU's in the last 4 rigs ive built

#

modular PSU is when the wires are attachable

livid sierra
#

mmm okay

half crown
#

that way any left over wires u dont need u simply dont have to use it

#

cleaner look

#

semi-modular is when all the wires are detachable except for the power cord to the motherboard

livid sierra
#

those are expensive lol

#

i just searched it

half crown
#

and non-modular is wires permanently attached

little leaf
half crown
#

yea they are lol

foggy hazel
#

@livid sierra difference between a good quality non-modular and a good quality modular PSU is at most 10 usd

half crown
#

^

little leaf
#

@foggy hazel corona prices dough

livid sierra
#

lol

half crown
#

yea the market is kinda crazy right now lol

foggy hazel
#

@little leaf not seen anything that says he is buying right this second yet

little leaf
#

Ye

#

But just letting him know

livid sierra
#

right i was lucky to get my case! it was sold out literally the next morning

half crown
#

GPU i bought for 580 i slike 800+ now fohhh lol

#

but those are 3rd party sellers on newegg taking advantage of out of stock items

#

what CPU are u getting?

livid sierra
#

i want to go with intel since im familiar with it

little leaf
#

No don’t

#

if you do anything besides gaming go amd

#

the 3800x is really cheap rn btw

livid sierra
#

my laptop runs on i3 ofc its very old but works great

little leaf
#

only 330 dollars

#

trust me

half crown
#

yea intel is really nowadays solely for gaming-focused rigs

little leaf
#

amd on top if you do anything that needs more threads or cores

livid sierra
#

what is the name ill look for it now

half crown
#

AMD is better for al-around use and cheaper too

livid sierra
#

oh i want both gaming a regular usage not just gaming

half crown
#

yea AMD is ur best bet

little leaf
half crown
#

yea look at his list

little leaf
#

If you looking for 1300 dollars and already got case

livid sierra
#

you talking about ryzen?

little leaf
#

yes

#

or you could go 3600 and go 2080s

livid sierra
#

i was also looking at that to but was not sure

little leaf
#

3800x is a great chiops

half crown
#

does he NEED a ryzen 7 3800x tho?

#

i mean if it fits in his budget why not

silk estuary
#

Get it just cuz you can

#

nep

livid sierra
#

yeah i need a new power supply now lol since the one i had ordered is crap

half crown

u can cancel it

little leaf

little leaf
#

silk estuary
#

livid sierra
#

i see but rn i can't afford it lol not for like 2 weeks even if it goes back to $400 ill still get it

silk estuary

On Amazon you can get it for 338

half crown
#

wtf damn

little leaf
#

@silk estuary ik both sights are on sale

silk estuary
#

Oh yeah I guess it is 70 off

little leaf
#

Msrp is 400

half crown

half crown
#

isnt it like 450-500?

#

lol

little leaf
#

Hmm

half crown
#

yay 100 bucks off

silk estuary
foggy hazel
#

more recent one

little leaf
#

Im excited i’m building my second build in like 3 weeks

livid sierra
#

those prices are not bad at all

silk estuary
#

If everything goes right I'll have mine done by Tuesday

half crown
#

they arent

#

comparable intel chips of the same tier are considerably more

#

and i came from intel too to a 3900X

#

i7-6700K

silk estuary
#

Nice

little leaf
#

I went from core 2 duo to i79700k

half crown
#

lol geez

#

thtas old

little leaf
#

Was my uncles

half crown
#

i had a FX8350 before the i7 and i hated it

little leaf
#

I wanted a gaming pc and the spare parts he had were core 2 duo and 4 gigs of ddr2 ram

#

but he had a 970

half crown
#

970 was an amazing card

little leaf
#

ye

#

then I got a i58400

half crown
#

this was actually my first build where i went wild with my budget

#

cuz ill be stuck at home for 3-4 months might as well make it worth it lmao

little leaf
#

but then some error occured where a few of the cores weren’t showing up

silk estuary
#

Oh yeah same

#

I figured id make mine before I have to get my own place

still roostBOT
#
Madgadget#4042 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

little leaf
#

@silk estuary imo should’ve went with 2070s

silk estuary
#

*just go ham on everything

#

Well, a lot of things

little leaf
#

2070s great card

silk estuary
#

I'm waiting for the next gpu series to come out before i get a better one

half crown
#

rumor has it the 3080ti is gonna be one hell of a beast

silk estuary
#

I'm sure it will be

half crown
#

i actually waiting to see what the new Ryzens are gonna be like

silk estuary
#

I'm also sure that the 2080ti will drop in price, lmfao

half crown
#

rumored 15-20% better performance than 3900X

livid sierra
#

thanks for everything again! ima head out

silk estuary
#

Drop harder than a sack of potatoes

foggy hazel
#

@silk estuary why would the 2080ti drop in price?

little leaf
#

Next time I upgrade will be after 2 new gens of gpu

half crown
#

np @livid sierra

silk estuary
#

Cuz a new series would have come out?

half crown
#

1080ti didnt drop much when RTX came out

silk estuary
#

Drop prices on the older gen so you can make room for the newer gen

#

Or at least, there'll be more "used" sales

foggy hazel
#

@silk estuary nah, just launch at a higher price

#

people are buying the current TI at the current price

half crown
#

that price tag is crazy lol

#

i almost got a 2080ti too

foggy hazel
#

which, has NOT been selling at its actual MSRP since launch

silk estuary
#

Yeah... 1,300 dollars

foggy hazel
#

msrp is 999

#

keep that in mind

silk estuary
#

Whats it actual msrp the- bruh

half crown
#

for FE/oem?

silk estuary
#

400 mark up

#

Screw that lmao

foggy hazel
#

welcome to the "supply/demand" market

half crown
#

yea thats a huge mark up

#

lol

silk estuary
#

I'm sure current times aren't helping

foggy hazel
#

read what i wrote again

#

"since launch"

half crown
#

didnt need a 2080ti cuz my most graphic heavy game is my flight sim

silk estuary
#

I know what you said

foggy hazel
#

it hasnt actually gone up all that much with Covid

#

a couple of % iirc

half crown
#

sooo 3080ti 1200 msrp launch?

#

lol

foggy hazel
#

time will tell

half crown
#

announcement is tomorrow supposedly

#

not sure when the new ryzens will be announced

foggy hazel
#

but from my pov, i dont see a logical reason (right now) for nvidia to launch at a lower msrp

half crown
#

yea i wouldnt either

#

no competition really in higher tier

foggy hazel
#

tomorrow is just the architecture reveal (if we are lucky) and the reveal of the HPC cards/models

half crown
#

aw

foggy hazel
#

at least, that is all i am expecting

half crown
#

yea can only wait

#

lol

silent swift
#

I need a monitor

half crown
#

what kind u looking for

tough ridge
#

can anyone recommend me a 700$ pc build for my friend, he wants to start gaming on a pc, he wants to start with apex,fortnite, and siege

hollow grove
#

i went 7 hours without error, but as soon as i boot up the crew 2 i get the same black screen, still having audio for about 5 seconds. complete shutoff than upon reboot it's a good single beap followed immediately by a gpu error code

tepid basalt
#

you can shave off some cash from the case or downgrade the cpu

#

3300x sounds good but its price hasn't been updated yet

eager chasm
#

@tepid basalt that MB is out of stock and isn't reflected in the pricing

#

The GPU is a bit older but will still play all those games very well

tepid basalt
#

oh yeah

#

me dum Dumb

eager chasm
#

You could drop the ram in my list to 8GB and get a 1650 super for more performance, but 8GB might be a bit tight in some games, if you can spare about $40-60 more just go straight for the 1650 super

shut rampart
#

One of my friend told me that case fan doesn’t really help temperature that much and it’s just make a bunch of noise is that true

celest fjord
#

Let me put it this way, the way an oven works is that it is an enclosed area that heats up with heating coils, if there was a fan in the oven it would not work as well. Different fans are more effective than others and airflow direction helps to move the heat from the case. So having an intake ( air going in) and exhaust ( air going out) really helps keep the temps down

sudden turret
#

cool air in, hot air out.

#

it's not big science.

#

as far as 'noise' that's debatable 🙂

#

variables = brand of fan and speed of the fan.

#

some fans you can have 100% and hardly hear them but others they are insanely loud.

eager chasm
#

@shut rampart that's true if you never turn the computer on, then it can't get hot 😄

sudden turret
pastel briar
#

One of my friend told me that case fan doesn’t really help temperature that much and it’s just make a bunch of noise is that true
@shut rampart

All I got to ask is what is your friend smoking? sounds like some good stuff I want....fans DO help, think about it, if fans did not help cool PCs and move cool into and hot air out of, why are they in just about every single PC? (fanless designs excluded)

valid loom
#

Alright, here are my specs, I'm trying to get into streaming, but don't know what I should set my streamlabs settings to, so the stream dosn't look bad.
-Ryzen 7 2700x
-GTX 1050
-16 gb ram
Let me know if I need to give anymore specs

pastel briar
#

as for streaming I can't really say much on that, but good internet connection will help also, as for the hardware I would say you got a good start, might need to bump up the GTX 1050 a bit, but I will defer to someone who runs a streaming rig to better advise

valid loom
#

Alright thanks

#

I've been looking into the rtx 2060 super as an upgrade

#

That should be enough

pastel briar
#

I would honestly wait for the new Nvidia cards to drop but something tells me they may be some what lackluster in some respects....still waiting to get more info tomorrow and see what Nvidia holds...

#

hopefully AMD gets a fire lit under there britches and comes out with some new cards with RTX functionality soon

valid loom
#

Yeah

#

I'm gonna wait until the 3000 series gpus, hopefully the 2000 ones will drop in price

silk estuary
#

That's my strategy too lol

fossil coral
eager chasm
#

looks good

fossil coral
#

yikes the prices are all wack

supple idol
#

budget?

fossil coral
#

its was like $780-800 at some point

eager chasm
#

@fossil coral Oh the 3300X is cheaper and performs about as good as the 1600AF

#

and yea PSU prices went up cause of the shortage

fossil coral
#

thats out?

supple idol
#

itll be out soon

#

i think may 26

eager chasm
#

your MB is out of stock and isn't even counted in the total

fossil coral
#

b r uh

eager chasm
#

you could use a cheaper kit of ram

stoic island
#

1600af is too expensive rn

#

yea get aegis 3200mhz cl16

#

67$ iirc

supple idol
#

yea its approaching 3600 at that price

stoic island
#

psu way overpriced

sudden turret
#

bad time to buy stuff 😦

#

wrecked the market

stoic island
#

why not a mp34 for an ssd

supple idol
#

definitely agree. i am about to finish my build this coming friday and the whole experience has sucked due to human malware

fossil coral
#

yeah i dont even have the money for what it used to be, this is for future reference

#

i'll prob change some stuff eventually

supple idol
#

well in that case all of the prices are going to be hopefully dropping back down by the time you buy it

eager chasm
#

so yea 3300X if you want a CPU in that range and power

#

for cheaper

fossil coral
#

ye

supple idol
#

i think you can get a similar case for just a bit cheaper as well

#

unless you are like me and absolutely had to have a white one at a bit extra cost lol

fossil coral
#

yes

#

i am like you

#

i would've gotten the standard nzxt case but i heard it doesnt have the best airflow

supple idol
#

i like the compactness of the nzxt cases but i wanted something that was way different from my brothers build. which is why i went with a corsair crystal 570x white

#

but yea you just want somehing that has decent airflow and a design you like, without breaking the bank. and huge ups if it comes with case fans pre installed

eager chasm
#

the NZXT case is a meme XD

supple idol
#

they are also way cheaper, but obviously have less airflow than the meshify

fossil coral
#

yep

#

i do kinda like the look of meshify better

supple idol
#

yea its definitely unique. i dig that front panel

fossil coral
#

looks cool imo

supple idol
#

form and function

#

best of both worlds

#

and yea from what i can see, that is the cheapest meshify white case

fossil coral
#

yea

supple idol
#

before human malware, and actually like 2 weeks ago or so, they were only 60 to 70 bucks

#

you use USD right?

fossil coral
#

yea

supple idol
#

okay yea they were about 60 to 70

fossil coral
#

just gotta wait this out ig

supple idol
#

and that honestly sucks. i wanted to wait it out, but i wanted my build ASAP lmao

fossil coral
#

either way im not exactly getting a lot of money rn so it'll be a while before i can afford it anyways

#

im considering flipping items on ebay to get more money

supple idol
#

yea i bought my parts from paycheck to paycheck, since i only make minimum wage and cant work much since im not 18 yet

#

and that could definitely work

fossil coral
#

im 14, i can technically get a part-time job but i really dont want to

#

im just not ready for that stuff

supple idol
#

well its really hard to find a job at the age, and on top of that, since the coronavirus is blowing around, a lot of places are closed and arent looking to hire. i got my first job at 16, now im 17, and ive found a lot of places really look at people under 18 as a last resort, and i couldnt imagine how difficult it would be to find one if youre under 16, let alone with covid 19

raw igloo
#

I just mow grass lmao

#

Big Bucks

supple idol
#

thats the smart thing to do. mow grass, shovel snow, etc. slowly but surely, as long as you save, you could get there lmao

fossil coral
#

i have no excuses to not do that other than im too lazy which is DEFINITELY not a good mindset for me rn

raw igloo
#

once a week i make 200

#

like 6 - 8 lawns

supple idol
#

i started my build back in late february i think, and this friday im buying the final part. and thats only because the nursing home i work at raised the wages because of the difficulty of the time with the corona, otherwise i probably wouldnt have got it until june, july, or maybe even august

fossil coral
#

Nice

supple idol
#

yea its really exciting when you get it all put together. its kinda awkward looking right now because the computer is all built, except the cpu socket is empty and the AIO is just kinda hanging out because it has nowhere to go lol

#

im just scared that the r7 3700x will go out of stock by the time im able to buy it

fossil coral
#

i feel like i would much rather build it all at once

#

couldnt stand looking at a pc thats not done

#

would be torture for me lmao

raw igloo
#

Im saving enough so by the time the 3000 series gpus come out I can buy it

supple idol
#

so would i, that way you have less chance to damage something, but at the same time, since ive been waiting months, effectively working for nothing, i wanted something to at least look at to keep my motivation up to keep buying parts

raw igloo
#

Probably using intel gen 10 i9

#

Since the amd socket is discontinued anyways after this gen

fossil coral
raw igloo
#

Would have to change mobo anyways

cold sorrel
#

I went ahead and bought my case early because it was on sale. Everything else I'm waiting until after the release of the b550 boards next month.

supple idol
#

i have a 2070 super in my (unfinished) system right now, and then save up for the beastly 3080ti/3090. and for the motherboard, i bought an x570 to avoid that issue. i wanted it for the corsair mp600 gen 4, but i lucked out.

raw igloo
#

3090??

fossil coral
#

how much is ur finish build gonna cost?

supple idol
#

people have speculated that the 3080ti will just simply be named the 3090

#

$2600

fossil coral
#

jesus

raw igloo
#

2000+-?

fossil coral
#

must take forever to get that money

raw igloo
#

I have 1600

sullen spoke
#

hopefully it won't be more expensive than 20 series

fossil coral
#

im not spending more than $900

supple idol
#

yep, since late feb to now

fossil coral
#

well actually

#

i might

raw igloo
#

I wanna leave some left so bank doesnt get mad

cold sorrel
#

I admit to not having it in me to wait until the Nvidia 3000 cards release or AMD's Zen 3. I'm just waiting for the b550 boards because I knew they're coming next month.

supple idol
#

hopefully not, and i honestly dont think it will, seeing how pascal gpus are still around the same price of turing ones

fossil coral
#

depends how long it will take for me to make my money

#

which, at my current rate, is a long time

supple idol
#

its really hard to discipline yourself. i know that feeling @cold sorrel

raw igloo
#

I just bought bo3 lmao

#

With ALL dlc

fossil coral
#

i do chores for money so i usually dont make more than $16 a week

supple idol
#

bo3 is fantastic, if youre only buying it for zombies

raw igloo
#

Yes oc

#

only 30 dollars

#

I watched all of the nvidia vids today

supple idol
#

nice price lmao. and yea @fossil coral but by the time you get a job, money will feel so much different, it was really weird for me. my first paycheck, i got $300

fossil coral
#

ive watched none

raw igloo
#

Cool stuff

supple idol
#

so far, i have blown every single paycheck immediately lmfao

#

because of this pc

raw igloo
#

You should save half spend half

#

works well

supple idol
#

well i had this terrible mindset that i wanted the best and i wanted it now

raw igloo
#

What gpu?

supple idol
#

2070 S, paired with r7 3700x

raw igloo
#

wow

#

lol i just want to get 240 epic

supple idol
#

yea ik its kinda overkill for my needs but i just wanted it so badly lmfao

raw igloo
#

I get it

supple idol
#

im getting a 3080 ti tho, eventually. no questions asked. especially with next years tax return

raw igloo
#

The stimulus is supposed to be the tax return

#

so if you got stimulus that takes from return

supple idol
#

the stimulus was only part of a bill for economic impact so the economy didnt fall apart during this time. it is tax exempt and the money was yours to do whatever you felt like with it. you still will get a full return next year

raw igloo
#

Oh lol

supple idol
#

yea but my mom got the $500 for me and let me spend it how i wanted, bless her. i still wish i wouldve got the full $1200

#

then i wouldve bought a 2080 ti

raw igloo
#

Well 500 per child

#

Thats the bonus

supple idol
#

but now since 3000 is right around the corner, im sort of glad i didnt

fossil coral
#

Linus: Today we have 2 NVIDIA Titan RTX's, a AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X, 4x16 gb rgb ram, and water-cooling. Yep! We're doing a budget build!

raw igloo
#

Smh titan rtx bruh

#

the ghetto

supple idol
#

yoo i called that the ampere gpus would have 3 fans on the reference cards tho

#

kinda off topic but

raw igloo
#

3 fan looks sick

supple idol
#

think about it tho

#

pascal were blower style

#

turing were dual fan

#

it only makes sense

#

when they drop, im definitely getting an EVGA FTW3 3080 ti

#

thatll look beautiful

raw igloo
#

price speculation?

supple idol
#

$1600 mayhaps

raw igloo
#

Dang

#

ill just go with the non ti

supple idol
#

the evga 2080ti ftw3 is about $1500

eager chasm
#

How bout NOT picking the more expensive version lol

supple idol
#

its tough! lmao

raw igloo
#

i just microwaved an uncrustable help

supple idol
#

yucky

deep skiff
#

why

raw igloo
#

too lazy

#

to wait

#

i just burned my hands

#

actusally

supple idol
#

the intelligence is through the roof

raw igloo
#

my hand is hurting

supple idol
#

i wonder why that is

raw igloo
#

i got a frozen one to cool my hand down

foggy hazel
#

@supple idol you are aware you are forgetting Volta right?

supple idol
#

im talking about the 3 most recent

#

and then ampere will have 3. reportedly, anyway

foggy hazel
#

and Volta is between Pascal and Turing

supple idol
#

but yes i get what you are saying, im just refering to the reference cards of series' of gpus

foggy hazel
#

Volta is a desktop GPU

#

its in the Titan V

supple idol
#

yea just 1

#

the titan

foggy hazel
#

technically 2

supple idol
#

the other architectures are for whole lines

foggy hazel
#

and the Ampere rumours are just that, rumours

I know my mobo fits into my case, and my cpu fits into my mobo but how do i make sure my gpu can fit into my case

foggy hazel
#

it is way way way too early to start talking about desktop variant cooling solutions on products that have not even been announced yet

supple idol
#

what gpu and case?

foggy hazel
#

@untold trail check the manufacturers page for both products. Normally , it will tell you the numbers you need to know

untold trail
#

ryzen 5 3600, and TD500mesh

#

oh ok

foggy hazel
#

length/height of the card

supple idol
#

gpu as in graphics card, sorry

untold trail
#

oh my b that was a mess up on my part. radeon rx580

supple idol
#

that case supports up to a 410 mm GPU, and im sure youll be just fine

#

what brand rx580?

untold trail
#

gigabyte

#

Gigabyte Radeon RX 580

#

this is the title on pc part picker

supple idol
#

the dual fan one?

untold trail
#

yes

eager chasm
#

well those were blower style cards, not really a "fan" design like most GPUs

supple idol
#

its about 230 mm so youre a okay

untold trail
#

i dont know the difference

#

someone recommended it to me

supple idol
#

the clearance in that case for a GPU is 410mm and that card you picked out is only 230mm so youll be okay

#

hes referring to what i said earlier i think

untold trail
#

cool thanks

#

oh ok lol

#

sorry

supple idol
#

thats alright

pastel briar
#

@foggy hazel I think in general most have forgotten about volta...

#

also if were talking about this little (big?) guy, all I see is a data centere oriented device similar to the Quadro just with functionality added, Cool, still waiting to see what the "consumer" side will bring but so far not thrilled.....though having the Mellanox integrated is a plus....

muted dawn
eager chasm
#

no

#

you don't really show anything

#

and I can't hear anything obvious

pastel briar
#

A silent video? that is black screen?

eager chasm
#

I hear air moving, and that's normal

pastel briar
#

I can barely hear a fan...

muted dawn
#

U not hear fan rattle

eager chasm
#

no, but if know what it is then why ask?

#

get a new fan if it bothers you

muted dawn
#

If my fans in warranty could I get my money back or nah?

pastel briar
#

@muted dawn you would need to contact the seller for questions like that, it really depends on there policies and what now, same can apply to the MFG of the fans as well

pastel briar
#

as for fan "rattle" it could be that your fan is simply loose IE toghten the screws some or put anti vibration rubber pads/feet on them and done

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my computer that I believe could be an issue with the cpu, but I'm really hoping it's not

fossil coral
#

whats ur problem

orchid coyote
#

For some reason I've been having random lag spikes in my games and normal applications where my ping spikes up for no reason,I've also had my task manager open in order to see how it impacted my computer and the cpu percentage also shoots up(on normal applications from 8%->~30%) could that be an internet is it my cpu?

sudden turret
#

lag spikes are network issue

#

8-30% seems normal for loading application load.

stoic island
#

Yea, thats pretty normal

#

something might suddenly want to load in

#

or start up

#

causing CPU to ramp up for a second

eager chasm
#

@orchid coyote are you looking at your CPU graph in multicore mode? right click the graph and switch to logical processor view

stoic island
#

Ping spikes are all network issues.

#

@orchid coyote are you using wifi or ethernet

orchid coyote
#

I just switched the graph

eager chasm
#

having a one of your cores super over taxed can cause a game to stutter

orchid coyote
#

and currently wifi, but I'm getting my ethernet working fairly soon

#

How do I make sure that it doesn't get over taxed?

eager chasm
#

what is your CPU?

#

and what game are you having problems in?

sudden turret
#

what's your internet package? and type of router?

orchid coyote
#

i7-7700k, and pretty much every game

eager chasm
#

so probably not the CPU

#

that's got plenty of horsepower

sudden turret
#

probably needs a good network reset

stoic island
#

Wait wait wait, @orchid coyote are the lag spikes you're talking about Ping spiking, or your frames stuttering causing lag

eager chasm
#

so are you connected to your network by 2.4G or 5G?

orchid coyote
#

@stoic island I think both?

eager chasm
#

Oh what's your GPU?

orchid coyote
#

and normally 5G

sudden turret
#

sorry for the question barrage, its better to help you lool

#

The more we know the better.

stoic island
#

So does your fps drop to like 10fps every once in a while?

orchid coyote
#

@eager chasm GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

#

@stoic island yes, exactly

stoic island
#

Frame stutters are usually CPU based

sudden turret
#

game on SSD?

orchid coyote
#

thats what i figured

eager chasm
#

are your games using the 1080? or is your integrated graphics the default?

orchid coyote
#

@sudden turret for the most part yes

eager chasm
#

you might wanna check that in NVIDIA control panel

#

crap performance in ALL games might be your default GPU is the IGPU

orchid coyote
#

@eager chasm I'm pretty sure it's using the 1080 or most of these probably wouldn't be able to run at max settings right? 😅

eager chasm
#

they AREN'T running at max settings

#

you just said you are having problems in ALL games

orchid coyote
#

yeah but it can run, just the occasional lag spikes

sudden turret
#

hm

orchid coyote
#

but you have a point

sudden turret
#

but it's not your worst fear, your cpu is fine 🙂

eager chasm
#

right click your desktop and open the NVIDIA control panel and double check your default GPU

#

just to make sure

orchid coyote
#

where would it show my defaults?

pastel briar
#

@orchid coyote what are you plugging your (i am guessing) HDMI cable into, the main board, or the GPU?

if your not sure take a good clear picture of the back side of your PC we we could go from there also, if you have a GPU (external) your PC should (generally) not be using the onboard iGPU (most boards will auto disable the iGPU as well)

orchid coyote
#

my moniters are connected directly to the GPU

eager chasm
#

Oh right the problem I'm describing is mostly laptops... XD

#

my bad

orchid coyote
#

no worries (:

eager chasm
#

So next try Fast.com and check your down and up speeds

pastel briar
#

ok, so we can at least establish that (in theory) the PC is using the GPU at this point

stoic island
#

Is it possible for you to go in a game and record when the spikes happen?

eager chasm
#

is it only online games or ALL games even single player?

orchid coyote
#

I'm pretty sure it's also single player, but it's been a while since I've played a solely offline game

stoic island
#

(With rivatuner and msi afterburner osd would be ideal)

orchid coyote
#

but my concern is that it happens out of game too, just not as much as I realize

eager chasm
#

have you updated your drivers with GeForce Experience?

pastel briar
#

@stoic island while I understand the idea behind that recording could also introduce additional "spikes" and if its happening on all games that may indicate an issue with settings with in the Nvidia Geforce experience program which I would suggest making sure it is up to date, and also checking for the latest drivers

orchid coyote
#

like my typing would freeze up on discord and my cpu spikes up

pastel briar
#

@orchid coyote I would suggest checking for a driver update as it sounds like you may need to update them

eager chasm
#

🤔

#

that's NOT normal

orchid coyote
#

I just updated my geforce drivers 2 days ago and the problem still remains

pastel briar
#

and I agree typing causing a freeze is not normal

stoic island
#

@pastel briar It shouldn't affect it much as recording does not take much CPU power, and I believe a 7700k should be able to handle it just fine

#

I wonder if it is something with the CPU

eager chasm
#

sounds like something is over taxing a core but it's not a game

orchid coyote
#

what could it be?

eager chasm
#

sooo back to my original idea, but look for a different source

pastel briar
#

too bad I cant get a good look at your task manager to see if there is something going on

stoic island
#

yea

#

or hwinfo or something similar to check CPU frequency & temps & stuff

#

cpu-z or smth

eager chasm
#

@orchid coyote press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, then go to the start up tab and show us what's there

stoic island
#

wow you have like nothin on startup lol

#

I should clean out my stuff on startup

eager chasm
#

I like a smooth fast startup XD

sullen spoke

always good to clean up the startup

#

suck it!

sullen spoke
stoic island
#

I mean ryoku you want me to disable all my stuff

orchid coyote
#

for some reason my print screen is being wonky, give me a sec

stoic island
#

and reboot?

sullen spoke
#

my windows snipping tool doesn't like me, so i got sharex instead 🙂

foggy hazel
#

@pastel briar thats one variant of it, the other (and imo main) variant is a SXM one

stoic island
pastel briar
#

@foggy hazel right, but I am not going to jump on the Hype train like most people seem to do 😄

orchid coyote
#

I don't believe I'm allowed to send images on here

stoic island
#

ick

eager chasm
#

DM it to me

sullen spoke
#

not until lvl 3

stoic island
#

got my bios time to 18.4 sec

eager chasm
#

I'll post it for you

stoic island
#

good nuff I guess

eager chasm
#

@orchid coyote 's startup

stoic island
#

lmao

#

my ssd is 90% full anyways

#

I can't complain with 18sec

#

900gb/~950gb usable

eager chasm
#

ngl, dont even know what some of that junk is

stoic island
#

gonna clean it up

orchid coyote
#

also while looking at the application processes for CPU during the lag spikes, the thing that spikes up is strangely windows explorer

stoic island
#

file explorer?

#

or like IE

orchid coyote
#

file explorer

stoic island
#

that makes sense

#

for opening files

orchid coyote
#

ah, right ofc

stoic island
#

god damn

#

I have 46gb in the recycling bin lmfao

#

gotta clean that out

sullen spoke
eager chasm
#

put the bin on a weekly auto-purge

stoic island
#

already uninstalled/moved install folder for quite a few games

#

like csgo

sullen spoke
#

what kinda mp4 ya got there

stoic island
#

recordings

#

of games

sullen spoke
#

ahh

stoic island
#

my recording of siege gets stored in mp4

#

I should clean that out too

orchid coyote
#

wait so is there anything else I should do?

stoic island
#

bc some I already scrapped together into videos

eager chasm
#

Zhorus, I don't even know what some of that junk is in your startup

#

XD

orchid coyote
#

i know most of it

stoic island
#

leave it alone :p

orchid coyote
#

the only thing I don't really are delayed launcher and the creative stuff

stoic island
sullen spoke
#

man how long are they

stoic island
#

6min

#

thats why I gotta clean em up

#

too many clips

sullen spoke
#

i moved all my old recording to a separate drive

stoic island
#

I delete them once in a while

#

I combine clips into vids sometimes, and move that to a separate drive

#

so I can delete the clips

pastel briar
#

Himachi....good ol' ham n cheese....that can go away, that will cause similar issues, some of the other things like the corsair stuff, and the killer thing, java and java can also be changed to not start with windows (or run on there own unless you want them or need them)

sullen spoke
eager chasm
#

@orchid coyote nothing super unusual in your start up, do you have an anti-virus?

orchid coyote
#

Nothing besides the basic windows one@eager chasm

#

@pastel briar alright I disabled those

stoic island
#

I just purged 60gb of videos

#

feelsgood

pastel briar
#

@orchid coyote I would suggest rebooting (verify the respective programs "start with windows" function is off) and that should help some

#

also if you have any type of AV running I would suggest turning it off temporarily to see if its causing any issues as @eager chasm has suggested

orchid coyote
#

How do I check the start with windows things? Is that just the startup applications

eager chasm
#

if not I'd look at possibly getting an antivirus and running a scan cause random spikes of processing that stall your computer aren't normal

pastel briar
#

@orchid coyote usually the applications will have with in there settings an option along the lines of "start with windows" or similar wording wise that you can set to off or untick

orchid coyote
#

are there any free ones you'd recommend? @eager chasm

#

@pastel briar ah okay, I don't believe I have any with that on, but I'll check

sullen spoke
#

malwarebytes is fine

stoic island
#

yay I just purged like 300gb of stuff off my C drive

#

Malwarebytes is pretty neat

#

time to run cdm

#

for fun

#

weird

orchid coyote
#

well after rebooting I didn't seem to run into any lag spikes, and now I'm doing a full scan on windows defender just in case

#

it's normal for the CPU to increase a tonne while running that correct?

pastel briar
#

@orchid coyote with in a reasonable amout yes there will be an increase

orchid coyote
#

so not 80% cpu?

pastel briar
#

possible

#

now if it pegs at 100% and locks up the system then no

Anyone have experience using a touchscreen monitor as a 2nd or 3rd monitor?

zinc beacon
#

Would this PSU work for my PC?

pastel briar
#

@zinc beacon it would work, depending on your case, if it takes a full ATX sized PSU your fine, if your case is a SFF and takes a SFF sized PSU then you will need to get one that is a smaller size

#

@half crown not really, but what are you wanting to know, perhaps I can try to guide you in seeking an answer

untold trail
#

are there problems with psus fitting into cases?

zinc beacon
#

My old PSU was 500W but very cheap so it exploded

@untold trail ok, as for issues generally no, just need to be mindful of the case/PSU size in some cases (no pun intended here)

untold trail
#

yeah im not sure how to interpret measuremeents

pastel briar
#

@untold trail what case do you have/did you purchase>?

untold trail

untold trail
#

pastel briar
#

case and PSU will work fine

untold trail
#

thanks

stoic island
#

only time case and PSU is iffy is sff cases

#

and sfx PSUs

pastel briar
#

though I would suggest for ease of cable management going either Semi-modular or full modular

#

@stoic island pretty much said what I was about to say 😄 so yea

untold trail
#

no idea wtf that means

latent storm
#

idk if anyone cares but gta is free on epic games store rn

stoic island
#

Small-form-factor

untold trail
#

doesnt the cable managemeent depend on th case

#

*th

pastel briar
#

that just referrs to size of the case

stoic island
#

what does sfx stand for?

pastel briar
#

@untold trail generally yes, but I can even cable manage my 4u rack mount case (and have)

stoic island
#

I actually don't know :P

pastel briar
#

@stoic island id have to look it up honestly

untold trail
#

ill stick with this for a while

stoic island
untold trail
#

so gpu, mobo, cpu, and psu are all accounts for in terms of accountability. Anything else i should worry about

pastel briar
#

well they already had SFF so.....perhaps?

#

@untold trail did you get your ram?

untold trail
#

no

#

havent bought it yet

#

@untold trail not much else, just want to make sure (if your using a Ryzen CPU mainly) your ram is "compatible" with the CPU (speeds in MHz) and is of decently fast speeds

untold trail
#

mind if i send my ram and cpu and u help me out?

I was about to ask why you spammed the same images three times

#

Im so sorry

pastel briar
#

@untold trail your memory would be fine, I would suggest if you can considering slightly faster memory speeds if you can afford doing so, Ryzen does benefit better from higher speeds

zinc beacon
#

I don't know wth happened

untold trail
#

uhh sure

pastel briar
#

@zinc beacon not a big deal, I gathered what I needed info wise so all is good 😄

#

damn i thought these weree fine

#

ive been checking so many

pastel briar
#

@untold trail again they ARE fine

#

i put my rx 580 back in to see if i could play games for more than 5 minutes without my pc shutting off and now it won't even boot into bios

I am mearly suggesting IF you can...

#

@untold trail plus you did ask 😄

untold trail
#

i did

#

no problem

#

i think ill stick with these tho

#

im severely over my original budget

hollow grove
#

i'm getting really mad rn

pastel briar
#

@untold trail I just personally would not go below the 3000MHz speeds with Ryzen

midnight pelican
#

@zinc beacon that an i7700 runs about 130w max to to be safe let’s say it’s 150 for your system. A gym 1070 can run up to 220w on full load. The rest of your system will take 100. I recommend getting a 550w psu

zinc beacon
#

Ok. Thank you. I'll go look for one on NE

untold trail
#

what speed are these

#

wait it isnt listed

pastel briar
#

@midnight pelican I would have suggested a 600W or a 650W but that is just me 😄 (plus it gives a bit of extra head room to work with, assuming your system does total out to 500W continuous load which will not always happen)

Think this one is good?

lmao

#

@onyx whale budget?

cursive wharf
#

Lol, I seen a nice post about the 240mm AIO having troubles cooling a 10900k. Comments had people mostly saying that the AIO was trash rather then just believe that Intel is dying rn

onyx whale
#

12-1600

stoic island
#

Yea I saw that

onyx whale
#

USD

stoic island
#

Hei I think it said corsair h115i

#

could be wrong tho

#

Anyways

onyx whale
#

12-1600 USD**

cursive wharf
#

idk, I never really read the post

stoic island
#

Hei you want to make a list? I'll be off to eat lunch

deep skiff
#

lmao i wanna see how low the 10900k has to go for it to hit the 125w, idk if the base clocks are that low

Hypercore posted my Redux link

Does anyone have any recommendations for sites to purchase laptop parts? I know somebody that's looking into purchasing a laptop, but is having a difficult time finding the specs they want. It isn't for gaming, just for work

stoic island
#

Newegg

#

with Amazon as backup

onyx whale
#

So is my Corsair 500 watt PSU good enough for the tomahawk pro as well as SSDs and new RAM?

stoic island
#

many stuff are OOS

#

650w is prob good to have

modern shadow
#

@onyx whale why such an expensive case?

woven crypt
#

I'm not seeing laptop components anywhere

onyx whale
#

Hypercore, I purchased it years ago on Black Friday when it was like 80 bucks

modern shadow
#

Oh

stoic island
#

wait wait wati

#

@onyx whale what do you already have

#

dats important

onyx whale
#

The monitor the case.

Those parts you see listed like the Western digital 2 blues SSDs are what I'm looking at for OS and one of them for games and other programs

#

Is there a difference between running the OS off of an m2 stick on the motherboard

stoic island
#

faster

onyx whale
#

That's just for login though right?

stoic island
#

everything you install on it :p

#

like chrome and stuff

#

yaknow

onyx whale
#

Basic software

#

Got it

#

So I should upgrade my 500-watt PSU to a 650

stoic island
#

I mean m.2 is great for everything

onyx whale
#

And I'm definitely looking to upgrade my monitor because it flickers a lot

stoic island
#

@onyx whale Okay so I was juts throwing 650w out there because those are more common than 550w, and have better luck being in stock

#

550w is fine if you can find a good one in stock

onyx whale
#

Right now my main thing is probably the GPU and the CPU

cursive wharf
stoic island
#

there goes hei

#

PSU is backordered btw

#

actually that isn't bad, 2-3 weeks.

#

rmx850w was the one with 4-5weeks

deep skiff
#

just glanced at the windows thing and i was like no way hei is gonna put a $100+ key in there

onyx whale
#

Why the Ryzen 7 and not the high-end Ryzen 5?

stoic island
#

... "high-end Ryzen 5" ..?

cursive wharf
#

3700x is better then the 3600

#

Given the budget, you can handle the 3700x

onyx whale
#

Nice.

#

Aren't sales supposed to be just around the corner?

stoic island
#

hei

#

that gpu pricing looks off

deep skiff
#

500?

stoic island
#

yea

#

it's out of stock

onyx whale
#

I've heard mixed reviews about AORUS but that monitor looks awesome

#

@cursive wharf

deep skiff
#

cheapest 2070S are 500 rn

stoic island
#

@deep skiff @cursive wharf I disabled best buy in my preferences because best buy has most things out of stock, but still shows as in stock

deep skiff
#

its 500 at newegg

#

and in stock

stoic island
#

cheapest decent one was 550$ when I checked

onyx whale
#

I'm on until but I'm looking to go AMD.

Is a gigabyte RTX about as good as an ASUS RTX?

modern shadow
#

So rx 5700 xt?

stoic island
onyx whale
#

I've also been looking at the RX 5700 XT

#

It's between that and the 2070 or 2080 super

stoic island
#

but that wasnt in stock when I checked newegg last night

#

weird

deep skiff
#

@onyx whale the difference between the different companies (asus, msi, evga, etc) are just who makes the coolers, one brand isnt better than the other for everything

onyx whale
#

Gotcha so it's basically customer opinion

cursive wharf
#

5700XT is a good choice. The 2070S/2080S isnt worth it unless you have the budget, which you do

modern shadow
#

And vrms

onyx whale
#

And different brands have different customer bases

deep skiff
#

except amd gpus never buy asus

little osprey
#

Ps5 or pc

deep skiff
#

yeah pretty much

#

mainly it comes down to price for different models

stoic island
#

pc5

onyx whale
#

Right now my tower is basically all Corsair, the ram the tower the PSU

little osprey
#

Heard they been saying that the ps5 will be better or the same as a high end pc

onyx whale
#

The main reason I got this case 5 to 7 years ago was because of the capability of expansion in the future

stoic island
#

Zix we'll have to see

onyx whale
#

I got my stimulus check recently, so I'm going to be waiting two weeks and I'll have roughly $1,800 to spend

deep skiff
#

yeah and pretty sure a navi based card wont beat a 2080 ti rn

modern shadow
#

Heard the democrats are hand out up to $6000 per family 💰

little osprey
#

Yeah they just have to have the president pass it off or some like that

#

It’s gonna be 2k per month

onyx whale
#

So what's the difference between big Navi, the one Nvidia is coming out with Ampere?

little osprey
#

Up to 6 months

#

So 12k

#

If they pass it

modern shadow
#

No more politics and money

little osprey
#

Nd still 500 per kid

onyx whale
#

No problem hypercore. Still learning the rules here

deep skiff
#

big navi/ampere are still rumored for performance, we just have to wait

onyx whale
#

So is the consensus the 2070 super or the 5700X Radeon

deep skiff
#

2070S for performance, 5700xt for value (has slightly buggy drivers, no nvenc encoder, not rtx, and a few other features missing)

onyx whale
#

RTX has confirmed ray tracing which is something very foolish that I want, and I know it cost a little extra but I think it's going to be worth it

eager chasm
#

except only like 5 games have RTX lol

onyx whale
#

Shame

stoic island
#

Minecraft rtx

onyx whale
#

Shame

#

Lol yeah I saw

stoic island
#

Quake RTX

onyx whale
#

I don't much like PewDiePie but Minecraft looks red

#

Rad

stoic island
#

Bf iirc does rtx

#

There's like 20+ now

eager chasm
#

I prefer PTGI for java minecraft

stoic island
#

On launch it was like 3

onyx whale
#
