i always dust my stuff though

#

like once or twice a week

vivid flint May 21, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

then youll most likely be fine, just keep aware of dust and try to keep debris out of the case as much as possible

next tangle May 21, 2020, 10:33 PM

okay thanks!

@pastel briar And when do you recommend I do the stuff you said?

little osprey May 21, 2020, 10:45 PM

Probably going to get 3600 instead of a 3700x cause I'm not going to be doing too much productivity

i already bought. i was putting together a cheap build

little leaf May 21, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

how much did you buy it for

cursive lantern May 21, 2020, 11:02 PM

r7 3700x is currently on sale

safe field May 22, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

The 3700X is practically always on sale

#

It's basically a contest between three vendors to see who can push Ryzen prices down the hardest

silk estuary May 22, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Same with the 3800x lol

little osprey May 22, 2020, 1:36 AM

How important or useful is liquid cooling?

#

On a CPU

brittle spindle May 22, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

PRETTY IMOORTNAT-ESPECIALLY IF YOU INTEND ON OVERCLOCKING

#

Sorry for the all caps

buoyant flame May 22, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

Water isn't always better than air cooling tho

little osprey May 22, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

A lot of OC can be done without it.

#

I'm a full 1. over on AC and can go almost another 1. higher

#

I intend no over clocking .. thanks 🙏 this was very helpful

stoic island May 22, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

cx650 is 85$

#

450 I don't think will support 580

#

580 takes 8+6 PCIe power iirc

and 450 only has 1 pcie power connector

This is newegg chat 💀💀 oops i thought i was in techsources chat for a sec

deep skiff May 22, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

idk why they made them with 8+6 if they work with 8

stoic island May 22, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

I think 4gb take 8

#

8gb takes 8+6, but I might be wrong

cant you just replace that switch

did you try taking off the cap and seeing if theres anything that needs to be cleaned out of it or something

took all the caps off and the board covering thing off

#

nothing that needs to be cleaned

deep skiff May 22, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

take the keyboard apart take out the pcb unsolder and resolder the switch and put it together again ez

#

Nice

stoic island May 22, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

I took it apart as far as I could do it

#

the switch doesn't come off as far as I could tell

#

Is a Ryzen 5 3600, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, G.Skill Ripjaws 32gb DDR4-3200, and GTX 1060GB gonna be good?

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

@signal scroll are you paying full price for the 1060?

#

what are you paying for it?

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

No, the 1060 is from my old build and I bought it for 80 from a friend prolly 2 months back

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

ah then thats good

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

@ripe wedge go AMD lmao

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

yeah that sounds like a solid build

#

@stoic island eh ive been thinking about it but idk

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

Bro

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:08 AM

intel has higher resale

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

Sweet, thanks. 😀

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

if needed

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

That's 700$ for a CPU Mobo cooler combo

#

3600 + b450 + good aircooler is 350$

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

yea I suppose but I want a upgrade from what I already have lol

#

a for sure upgrade

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

3700x+b450+good aircooler is 450$

little osprey May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

Things I never even consider when build a rig ... resale.

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

...

#

I'd think AMD resales better

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

well you never know plus I know one day I will decide enough games prolly

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

Because in the future, this generation will be looked at better for AMD

little osprey May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

It's never once concerned me ...hmm, what can I get for this later.

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

Today Intel resells better because a few generations ago, Intel was still better

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

yea I suppose but intel has been trusted

#

for a long time

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

AMD was trusted for a long time

little osprey May 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

It's the last concern I have about building.

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

Until bulldozer

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

@little osprey I know obviously a pc will loose a lot of value over time but intel has always stayed higher

#

intel doesnt drop prices

#

like if you wanted a new i7-7700k its still expensive

little osprey May 22, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

That's not even what I'm saying. It's not a car, I don't care at all about resale.

I literally dont have any lights in my pc but I'm looking to add some, trying to do a black and white theme, any ideas on what I should get?

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

rgb strips?

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

I was looking at those, how do they work?

ripe wedge May 22, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

there should be some rgb headers or light headers on your mobo

#

which you can plug them into

#

if your computer is slightly more modern

#

if its a bit on the older side then I have no clue

zealous epoch May 22, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

SATA to RGB hub

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

yeah my current mobo is pretty old (Intel DP55KG) but I'm going to invest in lights once I get my new build together

#

@zealous epoch then do you plug the rgb strips into the hub?

waxen finch May 22, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

Rgb fans?

Idk for me I feel like rgb strips looks messy

#

I mainly use rgb fans as my rgb

i think if its a short strip they look good, when they're wrapped all the way around I don't think they look that good

waxen finch May 22, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah especially the adhesive ones

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

I'm probably gonna get a strip and some fans

waxen finch May 22, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah if u do get strips get the magnetic ones

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah those were the ones I was looking at

#

probably just do a strip on the bottom

waxen finch May 22, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

Yeah, it’s better to have them hidden then visible

#

And make sure the lights defuse evenly so no rgb spots show up

#

Like have some room

signal scroll May 22, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Yeah when you see the dots it looks weird, I think with my case ill be able to hide them and just the lights will look good

#

and just the lights ray (?) i guess, will show

waxen finch May 22, 2020, 4:27 AM

UGH. Tonight I had an incredibly frustrating discussion with Mom. We're switching away from DSL to fiber optic and I off handedly mentioned we'd have to return the DSL modem when we cancel. She seems convinced the black tower is related to our phone service and wouldn't believe me when I told her it's the modem/router.

little osprey May 22, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

Doesn't have a tag from the DSL company...

cold sorrel May 22, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

And the other tower that she thinks is also part of the phone service is a UPS battery backup the ISP provided so our Internet doesn't instantly die just because the power blinks off for a little while.

little osprey May 22, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

They should have tags on them, that should be evidence enough

cold sorrel May 22, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Ugh. I'm taking classes to learn this stuff, you'd think she'd know that I'm familiar with what I'm talking about.

#

(Yes, the modem has a tag from AT&T on it. I'm also pretty sure they'll want their UPS backup back, since they provided it in the first place.)

stoic island May 22, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

little osprey May 22, 2020, 5:14 AM

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

@normal mortar for gaming yeah

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

@normal mortar due to what Gamers Nexus call overhead, the Ryzen CPUs can have a lower theoretical limit of how far they can push top end gpus like a 2080ti, but I doubt the fps difference between a 1650 Super with an R5 3600 or an i9 10900k would be noticeable to the user.

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

but gpu is really easy to upgrade so

buoyant flame May 22, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

@normal mortar ik I'm not naed but he's been rather busy lately. What tasks are you using your system for? Because your not really gonna bottleneck your cpu with that gpu.

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

@buoyant flame i just wanna use my new PC for playing GTA 5 ok

that's all i want

can i still play GTA 5 with a R5 3600 cpu and a gts 1650

buoyant flame May 22, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

You should be able to accomplish that

#

Its not going to be amazing tho

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

@normal mortar absolutely

buoyant flame May 22, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

If you can spare another 80 or so dollars a 1660 super would be a good deal but it is still possible with the 1650

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

gosh another $80 and i'd become a bum living on the streets

buoyant flame May 22, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Then dw about it

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

The 1650 Super will be the performance bottleneck in your system, you wouldn't notice the framerate or framtime difference if you put a 10900k in there with a gtx 1650 super.

ok maybe i'll save money and try to upgrade to a better GPU one day

@normal mortar you’re not an idiot

it is the mininmum requirements for second life

@fast dust oh thank you yams

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

look on the bright side :))

#

you wont have to upgrade your cpu for a while

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

nah i just felt really bad cause another kid in a different discord told me that your GPU should always be more expensive than the CPU

#

and i felt bad cause i didn't do that

fast dust May 22, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

Everybody was a noob when that first started

#

And no that’s not true

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

have you heard of APU's

fast dust May 22, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

It just means your CPU is more powerful and you won’t have to upgrade it for a while

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

ok thanks ya'll i feel a lil better now about my current gpu and cpu set up

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

not always

#

GPU more expensive in CPU only really applies in higher budgets

#

800$+ for the pc

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

ya but i didn't wanna use my full stimulus check on a $1,000 + pc build.....

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

below that spending about the same is quite alright

#

yea

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

gotta save some money for bills and food too ya know

#

so i guess i shouldn't feel bad as long as i still have a mid-range gaming pc right?

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

Yes

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

@stoic island hey is a 2019 amd ryzen 3600 still much more better than an intel core i-7 3770 from like 2012?

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

Yes lmao

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

i only asked cause the intel core cpu i have is an i-7

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

@normal mortar IF it was a 3770K, and IF you delidded it and used liquid Metal, and IF you put it on a beefy z87 mobo with an awesome cooling solution, and IF you won the silicon lottery and you got it to 4.7Ghz stable... You'd be about even with a stock 3600

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

@slate ice whoah! that's a lot of work to get it on the same level as a stock 3600. i think i'll pass

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Yup

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

I would sell it for around 80$

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

That's with intel behind 'ahead' in gaming loads

#

other workloads tho

#

:p

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

c o r e s

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

@slate ice so i'm assuming i'm jumping to a very big upgrade then since the PC i own right now has a 3rd gen core i-7 3770 from like 2012 right?

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

t h r e a d s

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

@normal mortar oh yes, quite noticeable.

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

you might not notice too much for day to day tasks, but in any heavy loads yeah

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

i always thought that if a cpu from like 2012 says core i-7 it would always be better than a newer amd 3 or amd 5 since the number on the intel cpu is i-7 and 7 is always a higher number lol

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

@next kestrel, yeah but drop an m.2 drive into the mobo (which you can't do on a z77 or 87), and even day to day feels like you're on a starship by comparison.

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

o lmao i didnt know

#

that u couldnt have nvme

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

@normal mortar i7 doesn't mean anything :P it can be 8 years old, or recently released, 4 cores 4 threads, 6 cores 6 threads, 8 cores 8 threats, 6 core 12 threads, etc etc

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

what does the cores and threads mean btw

#

that's something idk what it does but i'm guessing if it has a higher thread number and higher core number it's better?

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

First, older CPUs only have 1 thread per core, but newer CPUs with hyperthreading has 2 thread per core

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

so what do the thread and hyperthreading do?

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

each thread does the calculations for everything a CPU does

#

different workloads take different amount of threads to do

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

so if a program starts freezing up or lagging that means there isn't enough threads?

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

A core is a physical structure inside the silicon wafer of the CPU made of millions of transistors in a specific arrangement in order to perform computations according to predefined instruction sets.

stoic island May 22, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Not really

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

so basically the job of threading is to tell the computer what to do then?

#

like if i open a program it tells the pc to open that program?

slate ice May 22, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

A thread is a sequence of instructions being performed, a core with 2 threads can execute two instruction streams simultaneously.

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

oh i see so that means i can open 2 programs at once

#

right?

slate ice May 22, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

Kinda, on a single core, single thread CPU, If there are multiple processes hapening in the PC, then the stream of instructions will contain resource requests and instructions regarding all the programs. The CPU will have to switch back and forth beween two programs needs in one single stream of instructions. Like juggling two balls one handed. If there are two threads, then you have 2 hands to juggle with.

I think NEW Egg has a build guide on their channel too

#

?

normal mortar May 22, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

if my cousin is gonna get a pc for liek $600 from walmart is it better for him to just order parts online and build one himself for the same price?

#

like is it possible to do a build for $600 that would be way better than a walmart desktop pc?

stoic island May 22, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Likely yes lol

#

Usually 600$ pre builts are iGPU

slate ice May 22, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

@normal mortar it is definitely possible to build better than a prebuilt at almost any given pricepoint

#

Currently though, parts are pretty hard to come by.

#

Unless you go used

stoic island May 22, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Black Friday you can sometimes get prebuilts better than normal just bc deals

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 5:20 PM

even used tbh

the thing that sux about ordering parts online is some charge you for shipping as well.....

so the PSU i ordered idk if it has a wall outlet electric adaptor which i can use to connect to the PSU onto the wall outlet

#

do i need to buy the wall outlet electric power supply cable separetely?

next kestrel May 22, 2020, 6:16 PM

yeah it further solidifies your gpu choice

#

no need to get 100 frames if your monitor can't handle it

nope it should come with the psu

unless you bought a used one without any cables or something

hello is there any one here that built a pc in 2015 wondering cuz in 2015 through to 2020 i had a 3 year warranty on my mother board and it got shocked so the warranty gave me a free return to manufacturer to re unshock it from electricity then in 2020 i found out one of the pins i had 2 on my graphics card wasnt lighting up took it to a pc store right away he said the mother board was shocked again so im thinking well my question is the new mother boards in 2020 using better parts and also anti shock for the new mother boards in 2020 the thing is though back in 2015 and even on pc part picker it was highly rated till this day

Because its going to be my first build and i dont have another cpu to update the bios lol

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 8:00 PM

you have to download the bios update on to a usb then boot it up from there

wooden thorn May 22, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

I think if you give it power, download the BIOS update on a flash drive, plug it in, you should be good

#

but it has to have some kind of indicator telling you it's done

#

Idk if ASUS motherboards have that

#

I know MSI does

Thank you tho

normal brook May 22, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

NP. A little late, but I am at work 😛

#

@buoyant flame, seems like you have regular RGB headers, and need to use the ARGB connector your fans have? Unfortunately they're 12v vs 5v, so you will need a converter, or a separate ARGB controller.

Something like this for the converter:
https://www.newegg.com/deepcool-rgb-convertor-black/p/1W8-00JK-00030

Or this for the controller:
https://www.newegg.com/fractal-design-fd-acc-adj-r1-bk-rgb-controller-color-modes-preset-color-choose-from-eight-pres/p/N82E16811991013?Description=ARGB controller&cm_re=ARGB_controller-_-11-991-013-_-Product

buoyant flame May 22, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

Ok thanks ill have to buy a converter

#

So just to be clear tho, I will lose the argb functionality of the fans? @normal brook

normal brook May 22, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Unfortunately with the converter, yes.

#

If you can find an ARGB controller that connects to to your motherboard via a USB header, that would allow you to keep the ARGB functionality.

@buoyant flame Looks like this Cooler Master controller has that capability:

#

Well thats a real bummer but I guess I'll wait for it to be back in stock. Thanks again

#

My case did come with an included controller but I assume that means there will be no way to connect it to my mobo to controll it via software right?@normal brook

Hey guys! I have just received a pc from newegg today, but unfortunately it freezes up everytime you boot it up. I can start it in safe mode without any issues. Is there somebody that knows what to do here? I would appreciate any help I can get 🙂

normal brook May 22, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

It works perfectly fine in safemode?

late mountain May 22, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

From what I have seen yes, I ran it for like 5+ mins without crashing, whilst normal crashes after 5 seconds

normal brook May 22, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

If that's the case, it is likely a driver issue.

#

I would download all the latest drivers for your computer and install them while in safemode.

#

Then restart and see if that fixes the issue. @late mountain

#

@buoyant flame What case do you have? It could very well be capable of the same thing.

late mountain May 22, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

@normal brook how do I get the latest drivers without having internet in safemode?

normal brook May 22, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Is this your one and only computer?

#

You can either boot into safemode with networking, or you will have to find another computer.

should i upgrade my 2133 16gb of ram?
@shadow orchid Sure, why not

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

but to what speeds?

woven crypt May 22, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

What's your motherboard?

#

And your CPU

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

its a MSI M5 Z270 i7 7700k

normal brook May 22, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

@shadow orchid, while you have slower memory 16 GB is plenty. You can try overclocking your memory for better performance, but if you're looking at getting a whole new kit the $100 you would spend on it, won't give you that much performance increase.

#

What I am trying to say is, it's a lot of money for not THAT much gain.

#

Especially if you overclock your current memory.

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

kk

woven crypt May 22, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Your motherboard can support higher MHz RAM if you do decide to upgrade. It's more of a financial question than a technical one

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

hmmm ok

#

thanks

woven crypt May 22, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

You could always sell your current RAM to compensate, if you're thinking of doing a direct replacement

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

thats true

woven crypt May 22, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Actually, your processor might not support higher RAM

shadow orchid May 22, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

oh

#

i guess no need to worry about it then XD

analog hearth May 22, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

Intel system? Don’t bother upgrading unless you want more RAM

Intel CPUs don’t rely as much on faster memory

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:11 AM

@normal brook thanks for your info... unfortunately I started to reinstall windows, but now you cant even boot up bios or anything

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

@late mountain Seems a lot more serious than just a driver issue then. Can you provide a link to the computer you got?

#

@late mountain At this point you might consider an RMA through Newegg support. It should work out of the box. Drivers are one thing, but hardware diagnostic on a computer you just purchased is another thing.

Shipping can jar things on occasion, so if you can re-seat the ram and graphics card without voiding any warranties and it still does it, RMA it ASAP.

It's a nice machine.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

@normal brook yeah i am considering returning the item... its a shame that it doesnt work... I waited around 3 weeks for it to come

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

When you try to boot it, is it just a black screen now?

#

Or does it boot then die?

snow lagoon May 23, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

You should return it and build the same computer yourself, probably save some money that way too

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

I was too lazy to build it

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

@snow lagoon Depends on the price. A lot of things are hard to get your hands on for anything near a good deal.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

thats why I bought a prebuilt

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Right now at least.

snow lagoon May 23, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Right now that is true, damn quaratine

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

@normal brook right now it basically starts up, tries to load the "new" windows, then crashes with an error

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Ok cool.

#

That seems like a Windows issue.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

probably because it froze earlier during the new windows install

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Not hardware.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

are you sure? doesnt seem like a windows error to me

#

because then both windows versions wouldve been bad

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Well, it could be ram or something like that still.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

or something

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

I would really like to see what the errors are.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

ok wait

#

ill plug it in and I can tell you

normal brook May 23, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

It's likely you will get a generic crash blue screen error.

#

I can walk you through a fresh installation of windows if you want.

late mountain May 23, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

thats what I tried to do

#

this is a new windows

#

The error:

#

"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation."

#

but sure, if you think a fresh installation will solve it, I am up for it

I used ASUS for 15 years, 10 years ago I switched to Giga and have never had a bad board personally. -shrugs-

#

I've seen some bios issues, but that's a matter of updating the bios.

buoyant flame May 23, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Nothing wrong with gigabyte boards imo

#

They make some good ones

#

Not overly fond with their rgb software but thats not rly a deciding factor when choosing a good board lol

little osprey May 23, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Yeah, RGB Fusion is crap.

buoyant flame May 23, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

Aura sync isn't that great either imo. Idk why they can't just make something that works and stick with it

#

They've done harder things

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

little osprey May 23, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

They should just let corsair handle the rgb software

buoyant flame May 23, 2020, 3:06 AM

Corsair icue only works for corsair products tho which is annoying, but ya if they made one that was compatible with everything that would be awesome

past mason May 23, 2020, 3:12 AM

I will +1 on the Gigabyte boards. Never had a problem with one. Unlike ASUS, MSI and Corsair.

Haha my bad I was thinking Biostar

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

So with my HydroX Loop, I get peaks of 80-90 C when stress tested. Do you all think it's worth replacing the stock TIM with some new thermal paste? I have some cheap TM30 paste lying around, but I'd buy something else if it offers better thermal transfer

buoyant flame May 23, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

90c on a custom loop of your caliber? Ya I would change the paste

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

I'm just thinking it's the thermal paste b/c my coolent stays below 45 C, even with peak CPU temps, and my gpu stays steady at around 40, even with it being the second one

#

Any recommendations for thermal paste

#

Or is some Corsair TM30 good stuff

stoic island May 23, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Nt-h2 >:D is good
Think the thermal grizzly stuff is the best, their paste not liquid metal

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Worth waiting a week for shipping?

#

If it's significant imma buy it asap

stoic island May 23, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

Well

#

I dunno bout the Corsair stuff

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

Alright. I'll do some research

#

Looking like I can expect about 2 degrees lower with grizzly (over TM30)

Singular Noctua fans arnt good price because all higher end fans arnt good price per unit

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

But the price for heatsinks aren't cheap either

stoic island May 23, 2020, 3:41 AM

Like 20$ ml120, 20$ pure wings 2, 20$ f14

#

Well they are decent for what you get

#

D15 at a bit less than 90 is good

#

U12S doesn't have great price to perf, but it's still good for 60$

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:42 AM

Yeah

#

But I like RGB and would replace the fans anyway

stoic island May 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

Noctua fans

For petformance>rgb people like me, Noctua is perfect

Who wants to maintain a custom loop amirite

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:46 AM

Man, this thermal grizzly stuff is like over twice the price of tm30

Yeah, Imma have to see how I like maintaining this loop

#

I'm hoping it isn't too high maintenance

stoic island May 23, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

I mean Noctua nt-h2 isn't that expensive when I bought it ;)

potent prairie May 23, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

I mean, if you compare it to how much my loop costs lol, I don't really have a right to complain about price to performance

celest horizon May 23, 2020, 3:47 AM

You get what you pay for.
If you want good fans for pice/performance, buy the 5 pack of Arctic P12/P14s

Like $90 vs $900

The x570 boards are a waste.

The x470's can support the PCIe 4.0 speeds.

They should have allowed board manufacturers to up the speed as long as they met the criteria.

Can this pc stream on twitch? I been streaming on my laptop, its good for recording ingame resolution 1080p and output UHD 4k 60fps short 25-minute gameplays with a high bit rate of great quality. The gl75 9sdk MSI laptop is also perfect for youtube streaming but on twitch I lose connection. I was wondering if this desktop I blew compressed air to make it look like new, will work for streaming.

theres been a few things put out there already that confirms it was a supplier issue. they could still go under because of it but last i heard they said they weren't going under and have found a new supplier

#

but losing a supplier for that long is a good way to kill a business lol

normal brook May 23, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

They've been having "stock" issues for like 7-8 months.

#

I mean this pandemic really hasn't helped those numbers.

#

But those are the numbers.

#

Back in September of last year.

sacred obsidian May 23, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

well yeah, that has to do with the supplier issues. If i recall, their main supplier went out of business, which left them with no way to get stock.

the system is really good, you can get a cheaper AIO and RAM unless you really want em. I wont stop you lol

nothing on that pc would be bad spec though

the only thing im not sure on is the MOBO. not saying its bad i just legit don't know if its good or bad. Not familiar with it

normal brook May 23, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

TBH, the CPU and GPU aren't balanced.

#

It shows that you already purchased the GPU, but if you're doing gaming, you would have been way better off taking some money away from the CPU and getting a better GPU.

Also, the WD Black is a better drive. Instead of that weird Team brand.

It's like $20 more.

that nvme is considered good actually

And it's one of the fastest PCIe 3.0 drives out there right now.

sacred obsidian May 23, 2020, 5:27 AM

like apparently its suprisingly good for price

some others reccomend that nvme over the black sn750 cause price to perf.

They're talking a 3060 is supposed to be like a 2080 super is.

@little osprey maybe go for a more quality motherboard for the future and overclocking such a nice chip. Also for 3300 you could probably get a cpu rad to reduce noise

little osprey May 23, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

I specifically have chosen to use Air instead of liquid.

And the problem with the motherboard is I'm not willing to go X570, so that leaves me very few choices for overclocking, even less so when it comes to ones in stock.

Basically only the Crosshair VII Hero, which is currently going for $400

#

I think you're right though, if I'm paying this much I should get the better motherboard, no matter the price.

and it's updated

Can someone walk me though this? I have one tiny SSD for OIS (with the OS installed on it now), how do I allocate everything else to the huge SSD? I finished my build last night, but struggling with software now.

there are clone software you can get

#

but id do a fresh install tbh, if you have things you need to save copy them to a regular drive if you have a disc one, dload windows to usb

copy/clone isnt always perfect best for fresh install

#

if you had like more into it then clone, but just reinstall

You have issues understand partitions?

#

or making them?

@sudden turret

Both. OS is on the tiny drive as per instructions, but computer isn't acknowledging the larger drive, so I don't know how to tell all the games to install there.

oooh

signal drift May 23, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

the games are not installed on other drive because you need to go into disc managment and assign drive

sudden turret May 23, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

so you have a big drive, with no partition, drive label to it, correct?
