yikes are you in the Islands? lol
And snake considering CoD like to release thier games around Thanksgiving/election time, im going to say ps5 should be in that period too
Texas
any new leak on ampere release?
that i havent been paying attention to
Last thing I saw was the heatsink design
oh will ryzen 4000 be a thing by then or just 3000xt?
august/september from what im reading for amphere
going off of pcgamer
i figured theyd release after amd
dgx a100 will be a few 100k USD though
no idea what that is
im talking mainstream
its one of the amphere cards
from what im reading amphere will be for big businesses, couds, and AIs
though i could be wrong
i just mean the 3080
Anyone use this kit or one of its smaller versions https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-256gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232954?&quicklink=true? Interested in how well they oc. Would love the cl14 ones BUT they don't make a 256gb kit
is ram overclocking the new thing to be doing or something?
well I'm on a TR 3970x and it LOVES fast memory
oh nice
Snake 3080 price?
i have no idea what anything is gunna be priced at, amd, nvidia, consoles
its on lockdown
from what im seeing, it aint gonna be cheap
I have a feeling nvidia will try to get 200-300 more, each gen keeps going up
if consoles were gunna be 500 bucks they would have anounced that by now
Sony and MS typically take a loss on consoles in the first couple of years until they can optimize production costs
So 599 isn't out of the realm of possibility but I bet more like 699-799
im thinking 750 but who knows
well sony even said they might drop price for consoles but raise price for games
oof
as they sell more games then consoles
game sales are how you make $
like for my ps4 i own 100+ games
you buy 1 console but 100+ games in the lifetime
not counting my PSPlus and PSNow subscription
too rich for my blood, i can afford a nice pc, but not 100 dollar games constantly
And extra controllers, those don't cost them 50 bucks to make so they can charge you 60 , costs them maybe 10 to make and then they get 600x proffit
i read a few months ago, they might sell for $3-400
lol no
like i said, few months back
and as we've seen gaming hardware supply has taken a big hit since then
so $500 isnt a bad ballpark for reduced price
i actually avoided last gen consoles completely
it wasnt enticing at all
all ik is im pre-ordering that from the Playstation website so i can get it overnight when it releases
well my parents bought me the PS4 Slim
i of course replaced/upgraded the hard drive, but still
i still have ps3 but even most of those games are on steam now
true
i just need a mobo, and maybe a better gpu, my laptop is falling apart
the bottom of the case is breaking apart and doesnt click on properly anymore
i sold my quad core and im using a ten year old pentium for the next 5 months... lmao
lol
i have a dual core and a 620 uhd....
i had a i5 7500 and 16gb but its just not enough for new games anymore
and im playing Borderlands 3
microstutters everywhere
i3-8130U, 620UHD, 16gb ram
well the pc im using now wouldnt even let LIMBO open.....
somehow i can run Borderlands 3 on medium graphics
and that requires an i5 at the lowest
cs 1.6 i set it to like 480p and its 15 fps LUL
lol
1600x900, 17.4 fps max
obs wont open either
i have a 5 3600, 570, and ddr4-3200 2x8gb ram sitting in thier boxes
what why? nice build
need a mobo
parents confiscated mine as it came in the mail
bought em w/o permission
planning to put a 3000 series in it?
nah
1660
maybe 2060
cpu will be good for a 3060
1660 is pretty similar to 2060
im not going to be playing any high end games so i dont really need anything fancy, nor will i be streaming
ah mk
if i get 2060 itll be for ray tracing
thats really it
turing ray tracing wont mean anything its useless
either wait for 3000 or dont focus on rtx
yeah kinda why im looking at 1660
1660 super is pretty good
better value
similar to that, also looking at a $97(including shipping) 1060
6gb
oh well then id probably recomend a used 570, or 580
1060 if your streaming otherwise nah
well its $97 including shipping
i have a 570 now
but been repeatidly told its junk
570 is toe to toe with a 1060
ahhh
its not junk at all its just old
lol
and i need a 450 mobo
you would see vritually no benefit
570 is the value king, still is if you shopping used
would like a 450/570 mobo with wifi, but i can always get a wifi adapter
got a new 570 gpu
are your parents not gunna like give it back ever?
idk
That 2060 is gonna struggle with ray tracing
im going to college in august, theyre leaving the state in october
But yeah 1660S is more worth it at this point
they're trying to get me to return it to amazon, but i wont even get money back, only a gift card balance
Unless you shoot for the 2070 or something
they want me to return everything, but they know rather take all the bulky stuff, just take the motherboard.
2060 KO is still worth it, its priced fairly, ray tracing or not
id probably shoot for 1660, because of cheaper price
but 1660s isnt that much worse, also priced fair
mc?
my laptop stetup gets 60pfs on mc
regular 1660 is a worse value, frames per dollar wise
Oh yeah don't get the normal 1660
30fps or lower in mc
When ray tracing
Spicy bacon
i had a 1650 super and even that was a beast tho lol, my i5 couldnt keep up
lol
my main kicker rn is money
i need a car first of all
im just saving for the new cards to build
got 1300 saved so far
college i can do w/o, but still would like to go but at this point student loans are probably going to come in
well, my main income rn is unemployment so...
in the US?
yep
texas
dang
ima take a wild guess and say unemployment hasnt been raised to compensate? lol
well last pay was 1400
i now have 307
oh that's decent, what is it before corona?
$50
unemplyment before corona was 50? lol
worked for 3 weeks at $9/hour before corona happened
oh... im unemployed because of corona
oh it goes based off how much you made previously?
i guess
but i worked as a mechanic, bought a tool box and part of my paycheck(majority) went to paying it off thru the car shop
lets say i never paid it off and as such, couldnt keep it
oh and that was also getting a $250 phone cause my old one died the day before i started the job
samsung s7?
nope
Moto Z4 play
ah lol
dad had the controller and extra battery mod, i got the speaker mod for free
i borrowed(stole) the other 2 since he doesnt use em anymore
but yeah
so i have phone payments, and a car coming up
i just use a voip
then i can see about going to best buy or somewhere and getting a motherboard and/or gpu in person
or just wait till i move out, then snag the one they took from me
not best buy woah lol
where else should i go? walmart?
nonono
this is a military town, there aint much here unless i drive an hour south to austin
i forget the name in the states, uhhh
micro... tech...
maybe
yeah dont have one here
have to drive an hour away
you probably have a local shop somewhere tho regardless, an hour drive is worth avoiding best buy
not for austin its not
at least it usually is, maybe not for you
everytime i head that way i almost get hit
here bestbuy is like a 50% premium
one time a semi almost bulldozed over me
Thanks, truck driver
so yeah, id pay the 50% more just so i dont die
im gunna want a 4k tv too, alot us probly will now
i would risk death
But TV
monitors are too tiny
i have a 75" tv im hooking mine up to
woahhhh
hey look $240 for a 1660 super
american prices throw me off
$190 for a 570 motherboard with wifi
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/645077757876895754/721143510782443560/unnamed.jpg working on a fish tank build rn reee
lol
but yeah Snake, 75" projector tv
does that mean your gunna fill it with oil?
Not Oil I'm using a liquid called EC-110 ElectroCool
oh? easy cleanin?
Sure
It's a fish tank with a custom case and the back holds a hard drive and 240MM rad
waiting for the rad and pump
rn
didnt know they had liquids for that now, friggin small market
Motherboard Z490-G CPU i5 10400 going to i9 10900K when in stock RAM 64 GBS 3200MHZ CL14 GPU RTX 2070 S going to 3080 TI or 3090
or is that just regular water loop liquid?
huh the entire system is gonna be submerged with EC-110 ElectroCool
expensive stuff, thats really cool though
how does that work with overclocking?
better than a loop? or is it still mostly a silence thing
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YZ2s7T what i want https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LWrbYH what i got
keep in mind for some reason the prices are stuck on amazon for the first one
Can anyone hit me up with a good 900$ build????
3600 and 1660 super
Why are you getting a 10900K
?
Oloy is not great mem
Will someone hit me up with a good 900$ ish build give or take 50$
intel or amd?
AMD
fishtank builds are silence, audio programs like single core, might be a audio engineer build
so 10900k would make sense
Idk if you were talkin to me or not salvecai
i was
I was trying so hard to build a part list for my cousin earlier but all the motherboards I was finding were stupid expensive
save more then 900 dollars and wait for the new GPUs, best advice u gona get
My uncle wants a part list for 2 PCS one on 600$ budget. Got that one. And other on 900 ish
building sucks right now, but thats good cause you should not buy
no, anything lol
Or you mean just buy lol
just a terrible time to buy for all reasons
Reason: Bad word usage
Possible to swap HDD with SSD???
fair enough build, needs an ssd tho lol
you could upgrade to ssd
ima make a build in a sec
the sweet spot for ssd is 1tb for 200cad
probably 140 usd ish
better?
1tb ssd
I can get intel M.2 NVME for 120
ahh ok
you wanna get slightly better then the intel ones
so w/o drive, its $877.58
Why so?
they just kinda slow for the value, still a good option to save abit extra tho
with a sata ssd $967.57
1tb sata ssd
Leave current SSD
And what about graphics card?
Any room for upgrade there??
i mean there are faster, but youd go over $1000 for that
yeah
Okay I see so at that point raise budget
But okay. So what am I looking at for the current graphics card? Like difference?? Frame rate???? Quality of picture?
snake would have to help for that
I’ve only built my pc before and that’s it lol
what you running now?
2060RTX Ryzen 5 3600
B450 Gaming plus max
Intel NVME 1TB M.2
Then 700W power supply
And even on my RTX card ray tracing graphics is mad hard on my pc
lol the 1660 has less power consumption, so youll do fine with a 500
lol, yeah wont find one for cheap
im running an i3-8130u, 620uhd, and 16gb ram. Borderlands 3 i get 17.4 fps max, Minecraft(servers, plus mods) i get 60 fps
I can run 80-90 frames on max settings minus RTX on on most games
RTX on I have to lower other settings to run 60-100 frames
Naw I’m not getting this parts list for myself
This is for my cousin
I was only saying RTX chip gets bogged down heavily by RTX
Max settings on cod MW takes me to 20 ish frames
10-20
Of course not playing on 4K bc my monitor is 1440
Yeah okay. GTA5 is what he’d start with
yeah, this will run gta V EASILY
what about it?
Okay send it I’ll take a looksie
bam
i always use pcgamebenchmark
That’s 1100$ lol
USD
lol, the one i send is 970 usd
its reading as 920 for me
probably shipping?
or Negs availbility
Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
Salvecai it gave me incompatible warning on it
its fine
Okay
you may need a bios update but,thats just how it is right now
most come with it already updated
you can check with seller
Newegg is pretty much on top of that though
also no i didnt take into account shipping
Reads at 921 for me salv
thats his list he made Snake
your forgot storage
otherwise yeah 5700 works
unless new games that use ray tracing wont run without a ray tracing card
that would be bad, unlikely, but who knows
he has storage remember?
oh i didnt see
the intel card?
the nvme i believe it was
i heard corsair cxm is bad, you want cx
well i have a thermaltake, so i cant say anything
i dunno much other than just get a cx lol
lol
i got thermal cause it was like $60
crazy how a 3600 and 2060 build is estimated 320 watts
ikr....god dang it.....😭 😭 😭
thats why i got a 500 wat for mine, cause i didnt trust that
my laptops falling apart as im typing
....maybe if i fry the cpu, i can get the mobo for my desktop
well 450 vs 500 dosent really mean anything
tru, but id rather get 500 instead of a 300 like mine recommended
450 is the lowest it goes
300 does not seem like enough, especially when i upgrade
ahh
coulda sworn i saw a 300
well lowest it goes for mainstream buyable parts
ahh
but also i dunno much about laptops
lol im talking about desktop
im never going laptop, unless if its for work
even then, ill probably build a mobile cart for my desktop
if you see a desktop psu at 300 watts its probably some weird chinese thing or pulled out of a 15 yr old best buy pc
ahhh lol
bestbuy killed futureshop
il never forgive it
lol
not old enough to know what that is
was also a canada thing
everything best buy had only 5-10 bucks cheaper
ahhh
but they sold out to best buys offer
and then i went exclusivley newegg
and amazon
ive been swapping between amazon and newegg
i bought my 1tb 970 evo plus and 1 of my 2 2tb seagate firecudas from amazon
i bought my laptop ram, and my other seagate from newegg
for pc parts i dont use amazon, with newegg if i need something cleared up i can literally just use their online chat service thing
way worth a small premium
well every now and then amazon is cheaper
and that was before i found out of newegg for the evo
the sshd was $10 cheaper and i dint have the $10
needed it asap for my ps4
but lets say you need to return the evo, with newegg its a 10 minute process via online chat to clear it up and your done
what about with amazon?
not anymore
its been 2 years
maybe 3
and even then, its a gift balance at best
huh? im just saying i doubt the service is anywehre near as good
plus, like i said, i bought it before i knew of newegg
ups sent an ssd to the wrong house once, and i was able to clear it up with newegg instead of dealing with ups at all
thats priceless lol
lol
never had that issue
ive always had ups issues
truthfully, i shouldve bought a cheaper ssd
atleast i didnt buy a gigabyte nvme ssd
samsung is stupid these days
those are even more expensive
get a whole house ups
well, Snake, i swapped a 16gb optane memory drive for the Evo
samsung is the new intel lol
sintel
i never used optane
the optane was taking up a spot that i could use for real storage
the optane came with the computer
i thought it was additional ram since it was "memory"
it wasnt
optane is just fast sandwich
pretty much
its a tiny drive just for the os
i used a 5400 rpm drive untill recently i dunno about storage much lol
i have time
lol
i have the os and the majority of my big games on my Evo plus
ive just recently started dumping everything into my sshd
if a desktop has like 128gb of RAM, would it be able to do ps5 stuff? could put the whole game on ram
lol
i read itll have 32 to 64
Memory interface: 16GB GDDR6 / 256-bit.
Memory bandwidth: 448GB/s.
my bad
wait.... WTF!? 16gb!?
yep lol
....
i wonder of the new gpus wil reflect that too
is it upgradable?
GPU: 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency)
GPU architecture: Custom RDNA 2.
gpu specs
gddr is graphics memory, isnt it?
or are they using it as ram?
its graphics memory apparently
CPU: AMD Zen 2-based CPU with 8 cores at 3.5GHz (variable frequency)
GPU: 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency)
GPU architecture: Custom RDNA 2
Memory interface: 16GB GDDR6 / 256-bit
Memory bandwidth: 448GB/s
Internal storage: Custom 825GB SSD
IO throughput: 5.5GB/s (raw), typical 8-9GB/s (compressed)
Expandable storage: NVMe SSD slot
External storage: USB HDD support (PS4 games only)
Optical drive: 4K UHD Blu-ray drive
yeah, so i wonder if like a 3060 will also have like 16gb lol
thats all the released specs
i dont see ram
they might be using gddr as both ram and vram
no idea
thats weird
ram+vram?
is that possible?
or maybe they are just using it as regular ram, and havent anounced the GPU s memory amount
i have 0 clue
but it says 256 bit, that sounds like vram
i wonder if youl be able to add regular nvme
it says expandable
so theoretically you could upgrade
yeah but xbox has some deal with seagate
its expandable but propriatary
with my ps4 i went seagate, my dad went vulcan
but comsidering sony is advertising the new seagate 520/510(i forget which) nvme ssd, they might do the same
ah
to bad
though, i am going to try my 970 evo, just to see what happens
Yes
I ra
it looks like a usb dongle
I rap
a lot
I have a new cd coming out soon
Please listen to my music when it is out
u listen to it
snake the seagate theyre putting in is a nvme ssd, and it says expandable so that means it can be replaced
so theoretically, my evo should work
if it does, im getting a cheap 2 tb, putting it in the ps5, and the seagate will go to my desktop
joking btw
My muisc will be the best rap you have ever heard
for the xbox, its expandable storage comes in the form of that seagate nvme, but its connector is not standard, its some sort of usb looking thing on the back of the console
wierd
maybe with an adapter you could but iuno
i have one lmao
i actually have 2
weird
well considering the ps5 just released their design...
ah, it says normal drives will work if they fit a certain criteria, mostly a normal port
and it looks very SpaceXy
however, any afternarket drive will be way slower than the ps5s built in one
well yeah, the ps5 one is being programmed/built to run better the ps5 architecture
i hope it comes in black
it doesnt
it will match nothing i own
theres 2 different PS5s
it wil match.... my bed sheets
one has a cdrom, the other doesnt
yeah
get the cd one
watch the one w/o be more expensive
no lol, itl be cheaper so they can charge you extra on psn
lol
psn games dont lower on price much
but see what i mean by it looks very SpaceXy
especially the spacesuits
i like the xbox look alot more
lol, the fridge?
too bad ive always found xboxs to be trash
same
to me it looks like a mini itx build, with airflow going from bottom to top, pretty sweet imo
ps5 looks like a cool console but.. that white
im a millenial not gen z
tech is black
or gray
Lol
at least make it boomer beige :p
😅
Atleast it isn't that weird rainbow color change THING
And tbf apple has been doing white for a while
true
maybe thats why i dont like it
Lol
And the fact they're overpriced hunks of junk?
ive legit never bought an apple product
I've only used them in school
The key shortcuts are different, they're slow
although i found a broken mac keyboard once and sold it for 5 bucks... apple ppl.. xD
Lol
"i can fix it" he thinks
no you cant
its designed to not be fixed
Oh...the apple desktop?
You can get wheels for the case
Catch, they're $500
can buy 4 skateboards
I could get a 2070 Super
Maybe a ti
but with 4 skateboards you ciuld have wheels on the top and sides too
Lol
compatable with all apple products
NVM the fact the the cheapest build for it is $40k
That's my college AND a car
or.... 50 cars
...
What kinda cars you buying?
Reason: Bad word usage
none, but if i did itd be an old civic or something
or whatever the new civic is
whatever the 570 of cars is
A Ford
Joking
american cars and value, yeah ok lol
I'm sorry, what apple?
$48k?
is that a cheese grater?
Lol
is that 100 tiny little fans o.O
oh
1.5tb of Ram?
would a gtx 1080 bottleneck a r5 2600x?
No
cpu bottlenecks the gpu
@little osprey
but maybe
oh a non ti, youl be alright
What did you mean to say?
But snake, look at build, then price
i dont have reference for weird ultra hogh end business parts
Neither do i
But 1.5tb of ram seems a bit much
Especially 2 dual 32gb vram graphics cards
someone earlier was saying the new ampere card like that is gunna cost like 200k
I believe that was me, and I said $100k
well there ya go
But that was business end
That's built for A.I and cloud
But that one card is almost 2 of those
🤦♂️technology
why don't edibles ever feel strong
Maybe cuz you're consuming them
Might reduce the amount you intake into your bloodstream
Because you overconsume and your body gets used to it
That, also
What you should(SHOULD NOT DO) is inject the oil directly into the blood stream
i thought it was suppoaed to be way stronger and like, no limit ceiling to how strong it gets
unlike smoking
wtf salv lol
What?
😇
like i can eat all the edibles and still not be satisfied like smoking
like even a few hundred mg
Yeah
Your body has acclimated to the drug
It will take a much larger doseage to get the same effect I think
Yep
If you give your body time away from the drug though
im saying dosage dosent matter, its just not as strong as smoking regardless it seems
i always heard its stronger tho
yeah, but you reach a limit, edivles not supposed to have a limit like that
but it clearly does
yeah probly not, all that is considered proven but -shrug-
im trying to not smoke as a tolerance break, but remain high, so here i am lol
Remember how long it took for people to realize smoking was bad tho
That took Soo long and so many studies
Oh that's not what the public thought for the longest time tho
before cigarettes were advertised woth propoganda im sure people realised, probably not the best for you
But yet so many still bought it?
but then doctors recomended them on tv
Aand that too
and fred flinstone
well also before all that, maybe natural grown tobacco wasnt all that bad
Possible
not as addictive at least, which would mean ppl wouldnt smoke so often
i had myl last cig 4 months ago 👍

vaping, and still smoking weed, but its somethin lol
im pretty confident with tobaco vaping, im not sure i wanna add thc to the vaping thiugh, not sure thats safe
Yeah that sounds like a good idea
thc has yet to be made water sollulable, its usually an oil
At least we know what tobacco does
but iuno, herbal vapes have been around and seem fine
i dont think its newegg related in any way xD
i should head off anyways tbh
night everyone
Night
Night
is this a good build or nah, rate it from 1-10
f ri c k
cant put links
@little osprey
Dm it to me
@jagged ember I need your thought on something
What you think
This is the original btw
@lyric thistle you still up?
Nitemaring doesn't believe me when I say, that nite doesn't need 2 of those gpus
Wants to stream and run Minecraft at 300fps
bruh
does Minecraft even support SLI/NVlink?
Nope
lol
Not that I know of
i7 920 bottleneck 1060?
it's like having two doorstops instead of one
but they're really big doorstops and the door is really lightweight
and the second doorstop can't even reach the door to stop it
.....
Still believes it has sli compatibility
nite also believe that they'll get 2k fps
🤦♂️
I'm pretty sure nite a troll
Oh no....new list here we go
Nah, I'm out
it does support it
@lyric thistle you can help em if you want
I'm done
im sowwy
ill be more niceeeee
Depends
For example i wouldn’t get that case, but that’s personal preference
And instead of that mobo i would just get either a b550 or a x570 tuf wifi (should be less than 190)
You don’t need a 850w on thar build either
Anyone have a build with a C700M case to show?
@knotty crow https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/ddPKHx
What monitor should I get that has 75 or 144 herts?
@distant night depends on if your gpu can handle it, also your budget
Ryzen 7 2700 3.9Ghz (stock cooler)
2x 8gb 2667mhz (idk some cheap brand)
120gb Kingston ssd for boot
2tb firecuda for games and such
GTX 1080 no oc
overkill 1k watt psu
Anything I should look to upgrade in the near future?
or is it gucci for games in the next 3-5years
@inland ridge thx bro!!!
😍
@arctic jungle it’s fine I found a monitor
k
Can I get some recommendations for good airflow cases? I’m not watercooling my cpu or anything and don’t care much for RGB, thanks in advance!
@undone shore budget?
has anyone ordered parts from micro center? do they usually come in good condition?
@teal tartan never ordered mail delivery from them but often go and pick stuff up directly from them
would you say youre satisfied with them?
Very. I killed my Zenith II Extreme Alpha and it was out of the return period and they took it back for exchange no questions asked
If they are local to you I suggest going to take a look around their store its pc component heaven, their prices are usually pretty dang good too, like right now a Ryzen 5 3600 is $10 cheaper there than the egg
Quick question. Should I do a 2TB Nvme and store everything on one drive or should I do a regular 2TB SSD for OS and Games, then a Hybrid Drive for Documents and Files?
I found a really good priced Nvme which is why I'm asking
So I prefer to have my os and any other critical apps that I need on my nvme to get the most speed out of things. Games I will put on the nvme but files all go on a regular ssd.
you can get away with doing say a 200-500gb ssd for windows and programs and install games and files on a normal HDD if you want, or get a 2TB NVME and use everything on one drive. if you want to keep files safe in case of needing to reinstall windows or something, you could also partition the drive off into multiple. I wouldn't use a hybrid. theyre not worth the price
Does your board have multiple m2 slots? Could go with 2 1tb nvme's one for your os, one for games and a regular drive for files for the same price.
I'll check
If it does and you go that route it makes it very easy to move the nvme with games to a new pc, you just point your steam library at the folder on it and your good. Idk about other game platforms like epic or uplay
If estimated system wattage is 444w, what wattage psu should I get? Would I be safe with a 650w?
only 1 M.2. it's a turbo slot though
Ah, go with a 2tb then and format it into 2 1tb partitions so if you ever do need to move it you just have to wipe the os parition and can keep your game library
are partitions easy to setup?
Yeah when you install windows it will auto partition and then in windows you can shink the volume and add a new partition to it very easily
cool
I'll go with the 2TB Nvme for OS and Games and a regular Hard Drive (probably 2 TB) for Documents then.
@weary bluff a 650w will let you upgrade later if you need to change something, if you went with 500 you would be very close to maxing out and if its bronze psu may only be able to get 485w out of it
So I should go with a cooler master 650w with gold+?
what would be a good size for a Hard Drive?
I usually use coolermaster or corsair psu's have had best experience with them
Get at least a 2tb for your extra files
would a Seagate Barracuda Compute be good?
Yeah just don't put games on the hdd they are SLOW
why not lmao
They load slowly
But like it a wd velociraptor 10000rpm good for gaming
idk
even at 10k rpm its not good for gaming
only 64MB cache smh
Velociraptors were super high end disks back in the day idk if they even make them. But before ssd's you would get 2 raptor drives and put them in raid 0 for a "fast" system
the 15000 RPM drives are all SAS probably
1660 Super or Ti?
Super is $348.25 and Ti is $399.99
ehhh not worth the $50 difference
Is that 350 and 399 usd?
Because it should not be that much
uh I just read your name lmao
Get the super. Virtually no difference
I have a 2070 super, with a 6pin and 8pin power connector. Should I use one or two psu cables?
No I meant that my gpu power cable has an extension for a 6pin
Should I use that or two different cables, one for the 8pin and one for the 6pin
Should I get the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero or the newer XII? I cant tell if theres any real difference besides the look and im not a fan of the new hero logo
@teal tartan Different sockets and chipsets
Two different cables
Newer XII = 10th gen Intel, maybe 11th gen too (LGA1151)
Older XI = 8th and 9th gen Intel (LGA1200)
Alright thanks😀
ah so with a 9900K I should prob stick to the XI right?
guys is a 550w power supply enough for a ryzen 5 1600 and a 2070 super or do i need a better psu
Should be fine
Should be
okay thank you
As long as you don't have like 12 case fans and 20 HDDs
haha ok cool i appreciate it thanks
what kind of pleb doesn't have 12 fans
You
I have a 500 for a 5 3600, and a 570 (eventually a 1660), with a nvme SSD and a sshd. My case comes with 2 rgb fans
sshd 
Well I only had $100 and I needed a 2tb hard drive asap
So I got a 2tb Seagate Firecuda sshd
then just get a 2TB hdd for like $60
I had a HDD, but it died
Any suggestions for a good pc build under $1000?
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b450m-ds3h/p/N82E16813145083?item=N82E16813145083&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-motherboards - amd-_-gigabyte-_-13145083&source=region I was wondering if this supports 3rd gen Ryzen processors
It does
How did he do that
?
Bot down
Again?
Maybe
I wish I knew how to quit you.
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Maybe they changed it for build chat
Did they finally whitelist newegg?
go to your room Mee6
Yea prob
Anyway... @little osprey There's no reason to get an sshd if you already have an nvme ssd. There's a tool you can use to partition off a bit of the nvme ssd and use it to make a normal hdd into a virtual, faster sshd
Yeah, you can get a 4TB HDD for that price
Well what if I don't want the sound of the HDD disk spinning?
SSHD has a spinning disk
I think it's the same disk setup in firecuda as barracuda
So whatever loud drive you had before was just loud
With ssds the way they are now, there's just no real application for sshd anymore
well actually
They were good when ssd's were new, small, and expensive, but you can do a DIY sshd that will be bigger and faster for about the same price now
systems with very few SATA ports but that's about it
I guess if you can only have one drive then maybe it would be worth, that's true
I also got the sshd before I got the nvme
Bob what tool do you use?
I didn't know I had an nvme until I took out my optane memory and just shoved in a 970 Evo plus
I was an idiot back then,yes ik
The one I use is a Linux thing. I'd have to look up what you use for Windows
If the sshd was for a PS4, that falls into the useful part, since PS4 only has one drive slot, right?
Yep
Yea I only know a ram cache tool
So not an idiot
I was talking about the Evo
970 Evo Plus
And just shoving it on w/o know what nvme was
Not gonna lie, a lot of people don't know what nvme is
I saw I had a useless stick drive, so I took it out, put in a fancy, expensive stick drive and it worked.
@stoic island Maybe Primo Cache. It looks similar to the Linux one
I did a bit more research when I went to upgrade my 4gb ram
That was so rewarding, going from 4 to 16
Though now my gcpu bottlenecks my ram
yer whut
Gcpu
They added SSD
My cpu and GPU are integrated
ok
iGPU
yeah 
Integrated GPU
my brother's computer doesn't show GPU usage
How’s my build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gWdV8M
Owie h510
Windows doesn't usually show usage for an iGPU. You have to use some special tools
Intel 660p isn't the best drive at the price
Why so much nzxt
It’s best case
It's cliche
@shy otter you could also probably do with 500 watt psu
People see it look good but they don't know about the thermals xD
Yeah I could
I think the HD5570 driver is too old for Windows 10 usage monitoring
Most anything except the nzxt ngl
Yea lol
Focus g is the best cheapish case imo
2 fans mesh front decent thermals and has all the bays you'll need
Meshify I think it's called
Which one
Td500 mesh whenever it's in stock at 100$
And Phanteks P400a
Or Phanteks P300a mesh when it's in stock at 70$
Around $70 bucks for mine I think
2 front fans, 1 rear
Here's my take
Though, in my opinion, that motherboard looks kinda expensive for a micro
The challenger s is pretty compact, and has great airflow
Though if you want an open case, I saw a pic of where someone hung all their parts off of the ceiling with string....can't get better airflow then that
😂
I like the fish tank builds
I have a spare fish tank if any wants it
I believe it's a 50 gallon
Either 50 or 25, not sure
It's a decent size
Lol
It is big
It housed a 6 inch long algae eater for a few years
How tf does autocorrect correct eater to water?
algae water maybe? Kinda fits
I guess
But anyways, it is big
We've had it for more then 10 years and parents finally decided they're done buying more fish
So now it's sitting in the garage
Rose will cases are good?
I like em
3600 is my cpu
Furthest I'D go would be 2070 super
Whats the total budget
1K
Yea no that's not fitting in
Is that just for the GPU though?
Furthest I'd go is 2070 super, maybe 2060 super
Okay. No I’m building a whole Pc @sand falcon
Yeah, 2080s probably isn't going to happen then
It's not going to happen
I have a 1650 in my old Pc rn. Is that even worth keeping?
That would leave about 250-350 for the rest of the build if you're lucky
Okay
1650 should be good
even with pre-corona good pricing you could only really fit 2070s in 1000$
today you'll get 5700xt best case
If you already have it
Yeah I bought it last year to fix my old pc but it did nothing
Ahh
Too old of a Pc
Yeah, it should be good
You streaming or anything
Maybe recording for some videos on YouTube
If I do end up streaming i can always upgrade
I use the windows 10 recording software with much lower specs, you should be good
Especially if you use better software
can someone take a look in the cpu and memory chat? any help apreciated
