Power shortage what am I saying

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:30 AM

Bruh x2

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

Power supply shortage and I ain’t finna drive 1 hour to get one from Mirco center unless I’m getting a 3600 for 150

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

Yeah I know looks matter, and I know you gotta keep the price down when flipping a computer, but if a consumer is going to use that PC for like 5 years, chances are that things gonna pop

austere willow May 25, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

Honestly, I'm thinking about giving the Maingear psu a try.

slate ice May 25, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

@fast dust statistically speaking, chances are it won't "pop"

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

I get ya but some people been using em for 3-4 years and their fine so as long as it’s finna last for 2-3 years I’m fine

#

The warranty correct me if I’m wrong is 7 years

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

@slate ice I mean maybe not pop, but you eat eBay I mean

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:33 AM

It’s not like it’s finna go kaboom

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:33 AM

7 year warranty on TT smart?! what world are you living in?! iirc it’s 3 years

#

You know what I gotta calm down.

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:33 AM

I have “technical” 40 years on mine because I bought on leap year because that’s how it works

When I first started flipping I was putting insignia 520 PSUs in almost every build, that was almost 5 years ago. I put my email address on a card taped to the inside of the case. Guess how many people have called about a failed power supply.

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

Ehh it’s decent

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

Yeah same I got a freaking EVGA GD

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:35 AM

Lol that’s still good

#

It went kaboom

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

Definitely could have gotten better though

#

Should’ve gotten a CX550

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

Same I got it worse tho I bought a 75 hz thinking it’ll be fine

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

It was on sale and the 80+ gold rating really did it for me

wary geode May 25, 2020, 4:36 AM

Worse decision of my life

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:36 AM

I have a 75Hz too 😂

anyone awake to give some idea on a build.. minus case/PS/GC? I have them atm, and waiting on 3000 series graphics...

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

What power supply

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

i have an OCZ 700w

#

using it atm...

#

i have a build in PC part pickers

#

basically upgrading the main components

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

What’s ur budget

#

What size case you got?

#

What components do you have now?

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

i have a full tower, HAF 932 advance, 1050ti graphics, and the 700watt PSU

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VGJLL2

System Builder

#

that is the parts I picked for it ... already ordered the WD NVMe since it was on sale...

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

I’d get Ryzen tbh

#

Better ptp

eager chasm May 25, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

I'd eventually try to upgrade that card, it's kinda bad

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

lots say AMD... i've had intel for years now... this one is a 2600k atm...

#

oh the graphics card I plan on upgrading.. but waiting for 3000 series

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

Having intel for years doesn’t mean it’s bad to switch

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

oh no.. just mentioning it...

eager chasm May 25, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

Just because you've had something for years doesn't mean the new version of it is a good value

fast dust May 25, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

I used to be an intel guy but AMD is killing it rn

#

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 4:59 AM

I haven't pressed purchase yet... but that is what I keep going back to

Seriously, intel CPUs and mobos are overpriced

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 4:59 AM

the parts seem to have went up during the quarantine...

@fast dust ^

Also need factor in the cost of a cooler for Intel, which you don't have to do for most Ryzen

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

@atomic oasis please

#

^^^

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

which chipset would the 3700x work best with?

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

X570

#

Or a really nice B450 even

eager chasm May 25, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

B450 or X470 also work

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

Oh yeah forgot about X470

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

what's difference between the two? other than the 470 newer...

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

X470 actually older

compact hill May 25, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

I would get a b550 over x470

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

If b550 out yet?

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

how could that be older?? lol

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

ye b550 has gurranted support

#

for gen 4

compact hill May 25, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

Not out yet

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

So does X570

compact hill May 25, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

Just for a tighter budget really

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

If he can spend money on a 9700K he can get an X570

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

I do like the z390 intel Tomahawk MB...

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

Look over some X570 boards. They look good too

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

doing that now on pc part picker

#

the one I see has triple m.2's O.O most I think i'd need was 2

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

Triple M.2 gang

#

Jk my mobo only has 2

eager chasm May 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

7TB+ gang

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

wait @atomic oasis wait are you going amd or intel?

#

you are looking at amd boards but you said your getting a i79700k

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

I was leaning on intel...

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

what the build for?

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

He says he wants to go Intel, by we’re trying to convince him to make the right choice 😂

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

but was pricing up another build with the 3700x

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

gaming?

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

gaming 95% of the time

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

ok what the budget?

eager chasm May 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

He's looking at Intel, but we are just putting the option of AMD on the table for better value if he wants it

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

discord.. web browsing etc...

#

1k... but I have case, PSU and graphics waiting for 3000 series

#

AMD has some nice stuff too, have friends using AMD...

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

instead of i79700k go with a 3800x

#

or your can go 3700x or 3600

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

Or 3700X to save a little precious money

little leaf May 25, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

and spend more on gpu

#

I mean its 20 bucks more for the 3800x

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

GPU was eyeballing the 2060 supers... but 3000 coming out later in the year...

#

why not go for 3900x???

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

There’s probably going to be a 3000 Ryz el series refresh coming real soon just fyi

#

Ryzen

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

refresh? they shine them up and label them fresher? lol sorry

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Lol

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

No need for 3900X.

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Better speed

#

Faster clocks

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Unless you are going for productivity and need those extra cores

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

The 4000 is coming soon too

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

yeah, would be using it mostly for gaming and social media/discord type

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

3800X all you really need tbh

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

Then the intel i5 10600k is not bad if it’s mostly gaming

#

I’d recommend amd for everything else

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

them 10series intel... not seeing much high remarks for them...

Not that bad 300$

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:14 AM

Not that bad

#

Don't forget 100$ b450

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

the tomahawk one looks nice

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

Well if it’s a really budget system I guess.. I’d go 550 if you want to future proof

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

No need lmao

#

Remember, AMD is giving support for b450 4th gen

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

B550 not even out yet

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

450 even though they’d say they’d give support it’s less likely that you’d get all features

woven crypt May 25, 2020, 5:15 AM

3800x isn't worth it
@stoic island It's $20 off with a compatible motherboard at Micro Center

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

@hot falcon Like?

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

wish I had a micro center near me

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

It has nothing over a 3700x

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

What features would be missed out on?

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

Unless 3800x is the only thing in stock, 3700x is a better option

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

Pc gen 4

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

4th gen PC

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:16 AM

Or somehow 3800x is same price as 3700x

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:17 AM

Wow

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:17 AM

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

Not really

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:18 AM

I didn’t say mad means budget

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

:p

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:18 AM

My dad's building a PC for his work, and picked up a 3800x over the 3700x. He isn't planning on doing any overclocking, so that extra base GHz is helpful for him

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

As an example

#

@woven crypt eh it'll boost itself and the silicon is all lottery in terms of boost clocks

#

I don't have my 3800x going above the rated boost clocks of 3700x

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:19 AM

So in terms of both operating with no outside intervention, is there any noticeable difference between them?

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

Well it depends on the person, if they’re gonna upgrade soon I’d go amd so they don’t have to buy mobos every two years but there’s too many variables

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

That's we usually need to narrow things down

#

But right now

fast dust May 25, 2020, 5:20 AM

Intels the one that just switched to a different socket 😂

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:20 AM

AMD makes most sense

#

For 95% of the builds

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

Mhmm that’s why I said I’d recommend them

#

But if you only want to game, I’d wait

atomic oasis May 25, 2020, 5:21 AM

with changing to a 3800x, and a x570 MB... only about 50 bucks difference from the i7 9700k and that MB I liked

Intel slightly better for gaming, worse for everything else (usually). And they have much higher prices compared to AMD counterparts

B550 is almost here tho

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:23 AM

Steel legend is better than pro4, but both decent boards

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:23 AM

@little leaf factoring Mobo costs, b450 vs z490

i'm still rocking the 2600k 😄

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:26 AM

@stoic island you saying even the 3200 speed RAM will only go up to 2666?

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

On Intel budget boards they have a max ram freq

#

That limits your ram freq

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

Well it depends on the market, that’s why intel coasted, they had no competition and upgrading for like 5% increase was just dumb. Now amd is dominating and there’s hint that these new zen 3 might hit 5ghz and will be better at overclocking so they might even lose the high end gaming crown for the first time in idk when

stoic island May 25, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

Like h370 b360 all of those

#

We can't predict the future

#

What we can do is look at the market right now, and make suggestions NOW

hot falcon May 25, 2020, 5:29 AM

Uhhh did you sepnt 270 bucks on that

#

please tell me you didn’t

little osprey May 25, 2020, 7:45 AM

#

No, got it from a friend who did, bit never used it

#

Like box is unopened kind of never used

#

I ordered a b450, but then he said, "hey I got this you can take, never will use it".
He bought it when he was building his PC w/o knowing it was AMD, he got an Intel cpu

#

Why?

#

Is it not compatible with a 3600?

#

@little leaf ?

little leaf May 25, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

@little osprey did you get it for free?

little osprey May 25, 2020, 8:02 AM

Yes

ok then

just wanted to make sure you didn't pay for it

little osprey May 25, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

Is it compatible? Or just bad quality

little leaf May 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

no just x370 won't support 4th gen

#

and also its just an older board

little osprey May 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

Ahhh

little leaf May 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

I also might need a bio update

little osprey May 25, 2020, 8:03 AM

Well I won't be planning to go 4th gen soon anyways

#

...bio update....never did that before

#

That'll be fun

little leaf May 25, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

ye that might be hard

#

if you don't have a compatible cpu with the board atm

#

because I don't think you can update the bios without being able to boot the pc

#

but I may be wrong cause I've never done it

little osprey May 25, 2020, 8:20 AM

But 4ms tho

Maybe not worth it loss of money and even max settings lots of games cant hit 144hz unless it's like doom lol

4.15 mil pixels at 32x9 aspect ratio it's more than 2k

The other would be like 7.5mil pixels

If you can't hit the 120hz on the other monitor then don't get it

cursive wharf May 25, 2020, 11:42 PM

hydro copper is questionable

#

hopefully they'll fix current hydro copper issues with the new one

signal drift May 25, 2020, 11:42 PM

I'd only want that if there ends up with issues then have to swap card to stock

#

Then rma blah blah

cursive wharf May 25, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

ah wait nvm, was thinking of hydro X. Anyways Hydro X has a leaking issue, so not exactly small issue

#

Hydro Copper is $200 overpriced as well

signal drift May 25, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

True but its convenient as well

cursive wharf May 25, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

buy a air cooled GPU + block for cheaper

signal drift May 25, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

Its not hard to put block on but pain to take off n do over again

cursive wharf May 25, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

it isnt that much more work

signal drift May 25, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Well thermal pads tho

#

Gotta make sure not to fk up old ones

#

Then again maybe I'd switch back to loop just for cpu, that extra 10c increase overall temp could keep cpu cooler. And have a hybrid gpu like how the kingpin is

cursive wharf May 25, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

kinda hard to do that to the point of being unusable. You can tear a pad in half and still use it just by putting them next to each other and have them stock close to each other

signal drift May 25, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Will just see.. but from 1080ti would be great upgrade 2080ti def not worth

#

Gaaa sucks waiting I just wanna get n pop right in

cursive wharf May 25, 2020, 11:49 PM

2080Ti wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt so damn expensive

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 12:08 AM

best to give it a rating, louder then HDDs, case fans at given RPM, etc

because "loud" is subjective

no gaming the os does more

thats why 970 evo plus runs hotter i bet cause os running and processes

i mean i got the board heatsinks with my z390 asus maximus

stoic island May 26, 2020, 12:43 AM

video editing and such would heat it up more

and 970 is around 40s and inland is 30

stoic island May 26, 2020, 12:43 AM

it only really heats up when you're trying to read and write a lot

slender cliff May 26, 2020, 12:44 AM

Yeah, I'll be using the 1 TB as my primary drive. I thought that it has a cache which increases lifespan and price.

partition only if you plan on reinstalling every once in a while

Reinstalling as in Windows, or applications?

alot of time its best to just reinstall after a while keep it fresh

but if you dont plan then dont bother partition

should just be 1080 i would think

fast dust May 26, 2020, 2:29 AM

Probably 1080 or 720p

mortal rampart May 26, 2020, 2:29 AM

prolly just 1080 or 720 then lmao

#

yeah

#

we on the same wave

fast dust May 26, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

And probably only 60Hz

#

All you need then is something that can do 1080p 60 fps

#

Any higher FPS and you won’t be able to see it because if your monitor

mortal rampart May 26, 2020, 2:30 AM

yeah then just a 16050S

**1650S

I don’t think 1650s can run 4K ultra settings...

deep skiff May 26, 2020, 2:31 AM

i'd avoid getting a 4k monitor, even if you could run 60fps good settings you could get a 240hz for the same price

#

@cursive wharf perf wise I thought 2070 was still slightly ahead..?

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

not enough to matter. Should just focus on noise levels

#

as in better cooler

stoic island May 26, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

I was thinking Nvidia heat doesn't really matter as much

#

80c instead of 70c doesn't matter as much

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

better boosts

#

with that temp difference

stoic island May 26, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Not like 5700xt and you get 120c junction on a bad cooler :p

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

I mean, probs is the same for Nvidia tbh

stoic island May 26, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Anyways even accounting for boost I thought 2070 was better?

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

but Nvidia doesnt have any sensor for junction

#

2070 is better if on a decent cooler. Ventus doesnt have a good cooler

#

So it's close to the same tbh

#

I'd just get a quieter GPU anyways rather then worry over 5 fps starting from ~100 fps

stoic island May 26, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

Eh I'm the kinda person to want 140 instead of 135 :p

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

I find that noise is more noticeable over the small FPS difference and I usually prioritize that

stoic island May 26, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

Fair enough

#

I don't mind noise up until a certain point

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

Noise isnt that bad. But as an enthusiast I must say "yes" to as quiet as possible, unless it's delta fans. Then as loud as possible

guise first timer build question please 🙇‍♂️

Global site for my ASRock X399 Taichi shows that latest BIOS 3.90 requires Bridge BIOS 2.30
so that means even if it's my first time assembling the PC, if the current BIOS version is lower than 2.30,
I can't skip and would still need to do a bridge BIOS update first before going latest BIOS, correct ?

Also ASRock says they don't take responsibility for BIOS updates, how high's the risk of bricking the board ?
If that does happen, how likely can you unbrick it ?

sudden turret May 26, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

you cant unbrick it

#

it's fairly painless as long as you have the correct bios file for the motherboard you're trying to update.

copper mason May 26, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

you cant unbrick it
@sudden turret oh noes 😱

#

it's fairly painless as long as you have the correct bios file for the motherboard you're trying to update.
looks like I'll have to either just stay with stock BIOS,
and only update to known stable version (if I can find it) if there's issue with stock

sudden turret May 26, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

yeah if there are no issues, really no need to update

#

but if you do, can always come back here and we can verify you have the proper file.

copper mason May 26, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

but if you do, can always come back here and we can verify you have the proper file.

slate ice May 26, 2020, 2:57 PM

@copper mason most current gen bios flash utilities are pretty straight forward and stable. Put the new BIOS file on usb drive, boot into BIOS, go to the flash utility and click the go button. 99% of the time you're only going to brick the board if for some reason you cut power during the flash.

#

The only mobo manufacturer I've dealt with where BIOS flashing was nerve racking and not very intuitive was NZXT on the N7 mobos

@slate ice great additional insights thanks 🙏
I heard bad things about ASRock's BIOS, but also that it gets more frequently updated

slate ice May 26, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

I build/flash ASrock boards pretty regularly (flashing backward is the only way to overclock the Athlon 200GE) it's very simple.

#

Just make sure you USB drive is blank except for the BIOS file. Asrock BIOS downloads are usually a .zip file, so extract it first, and copy the .rom file onto the USB stick. Then just do what I said above.

i’m mounting two fans here at the back, should i mount them such that the cables go through that top left grommet or should i have the cables run down the left side of the case?

📎 image0.jpg

fast dust May 26, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

Top left grommet will probably look a lot better but left side might have better functionality... if you’re plugging the fans into the motherboard and not a fan hub or molex connectors

cursive wharf May 26, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

@copper mason @sudden turret correction to the bricking... You can't unbrick it without special hardware. Tho, said hardware isn't that pricy either.
