@spiral zealot the list looks good but the prices are not

#

spiral zealot Jun 15, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

oh whoa, why did you remove the ssd @normal sail

#

there was one in my original list

#

i missed that when i scanned over it

little leaf Jun 15, 2020, 11:37 PM

spiral zealot Jun 15, 2020, 11:38 PM

you're the one who originally suggested the P300A in the first place, which is why i threw it in 😛

stoic island Jun 15, 2020, 11:38 PM

135$ for 16gb of ram

spiral zealot Jun 15, 2020, 11:38 PM

and then you overkill it with an RGB one

ye thats what I said

spiral zealot Jun 15, 2020, 11:39 PM

i suggested 3200CL14 for $104, jsut no RGB

at least not at a reasonable pricce

@spiral zealot I took out the ssd bc 2tb is enough for me

spiral zealot Jun 15, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

it's not about the storage, it's about the boot times and loading times for heavily used apps

#

i'd highly, highly recommend some kind of ssd boot drive, even if it's only 120gb for windows

sand falcon Jun 15, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

You will want SSD

#

My roomate booted a "gaming pc" off an hdd, and it took 12 minutes to turn on

normal sail Jun 15, 2020, 11:58 PM

Oh god

#

Ok

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

Yeah

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 12:06 AM

12 minutes? God mine took 10 seconds. When I transferred to an ssd, it now takes 6 and some change seconds

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 12:06 AM

He also had all sorts of weird programs installed, so that might have something to do with it

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 12:06 AM

I have it to where only system files and antivirus turns on when I boot up so....

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

@halcyon quiver Do you need a mouse, keyboard, or monitor?

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 12:22 AM

hello everyone

#

i need some help choosing a monitor

analog hearth Jun 16, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

what's your GPU?

supple reef Jun 16, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

or if I should just wait a few more months until the monitor market is less chaotic

#

1650 Super

analog hearth Jun 16, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

look for 1080p monitors

supple reef Jun 16, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

It’s for PC and console

analog hearth Jun 16, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

I would personally say 1080p 75Hz at the minimum (but I'm also looking)

#

and this is a personal preference, but I personally would go with either IPS or VA

#

how many other consoles?

supple reef Jun 16, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

I’m going to eventually upgrade my pc to take full advantage, but this monitor will be future proofing I suppose.

#

I have a xbox one x right now, will be getting series x

analog hearth Jun 16, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

ah okay. you could probably go 144Hz then

supple reef Jun 16, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

MSI MAG272CQR or Viewsonic XG270QC

#

Both are curved VA 1440p

#

There’s hardly any reviews for the Viewsonic one yet but it looks promising

#

Only $50-100 more expensive than the MSI one

analog hearth Jun 16, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

the Viewsonic is brighter

#

I personally would say the ViewSonic if you want a better view. I mean, the only advantage I see on the ViewSonic is that the display is brighter

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

@halcyon quiver I'm gonna stick these here so they don't get lost in the general chat :)

Yeah, you should have gone threadripper and dual quadros @mortal void lol

mortal void Jun 16, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

it could easily be more if I shoved a Thread Ripper in

spiral zealot Jun 16, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

i was looking at a 'cheap' TR build and it was still 1k+ even for a 1st gen TR build lol

#

i have no need for that kind of processing power, i do zero workstation stuff, but part of me just wants a threadripper system like so bad

mortal void Jun 16, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

the hell is a Quatro?

potent prairie Jun 16, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

Think 2080ti but way more expensive

spiral zealot Jun 16, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

so then i went and flipped it and went to see how far i could push a TR build and keep it 'reasonable'

#

and hit 12k

mortal void Jun 16, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

oh wait I totally forgot about PSU

#

lmao

potent prairie Jun 16, 2020, 1:33 AM

I do photoshop and autodesk sometimes, so I'll have an excuse to go threadripper when I upgrade in a few yrs

Apparently you need a titan for output, so add that too lol

Imma go build a really all out pc

severe bloom Jun 16, 2020, 1:35 AM

So we are faced with 10900k or 9700k?

what about a 9700k

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Please not the 10300. You might as well go AMD at that point

#

9700k is looking like the best bet, but AMD is looking kinda good right now with the stocking issues

little leaf Jun 16, 2020, 2:33 AM

But solely gaming

:/ it was a joke

viral ore Jun 16, 2020, 2:34 AM

9700k still 373, which is outrageous considering the price of the 3700x

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

little leaf Jun 16, 2020, 2:35 AM

He says he only wants gaming though

viral ore Jun 16, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

then why pay more for marginal perf

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

9700k is probably still better for pure gaming on that budget, but I'm not sure. We might be better AMD

viral ore Jun 16, 2020, 2:35 AM

ok, whats his budget

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

none of the 10th gen isn't in stock pretty much anywhere

viral ore Jun 16, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

last gen isnt cheap enough yet

#

well, it probs wont go down in price very much

#

3900x?

#

i mean, it boosts higher than the 3700x

#

so single core perf is better at least

#

but you are getting extra cores for the price

little leaf Jun 16, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Gaming though

viral ore Jun 16, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

as opposed to getting better perf, but still 8/16

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

9700k vs 3900x is hard

viral ore Jun 16, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

i mean, what are the real world performance differences

#

the rest of the system held equal, would this user really notice 10 fps difference

#

and would those extra cores end up helping more in situations where the game is properly multithreaded

little leaf Jun 16, 2020, 2:40 AM

narrow raven Jun 16, 2020, 3:35 AM

yo should i get a 750w power supply for 120 or get a 600w for half of that

#

like hmm now thats a dilema

tepid basalt Jun 16, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

get a 650w for 120

narrow raven Jun 16, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

so find the inbetween for the same price as the 750w

#

which is gold rated

#

and i still dont know what that means

spiral zealot Jun 16, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

the higher the rating, the more efficient the PSU is at varying levels of load. for example a 500W PSU that only ran at 50% efficiency means it would pull 1000W from the wall to give your PC 500W of usable power.

#

80 Plus by itself means it needs to be 80% efficient at 20/50/100% loads, compared to 80 Plus Titanium which means 90% efficiency at 20% load and 94% efficiency at 100% load

Hi guys, I really need your help. I was replacing the cooler on my CPU. Now I can't boot at all. I get power and everything, but now all I get is the orange DRAM light. I've tried clearing CMOS, cleaning my memory as well as the memory slots themselves. It doesn't seem to matter what stick of memory I put inside, it gives me this issue regardless. It was not doing this at all before I did the cooler switcheroo.

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

I ended up having to move back to my old board. The other one would detect my memory as faulty, regardless of what stick I put in.

#

It wasn't the PSU, as that was working long before I did the switch.

#

It also wasn't the power cable, as I tried multiple cables and outlets to no avail.

#

Thanks for the help anyway.

keen flint Jun 16, 2020, 7:47 AM

@vestal sonnet it could also be a bios issue with it not supporting your cpu check you motherboards bios version and see if that version supports your cpu before replacing your psu alot of ryzen boards need updates for newer cpus

@mortal void u doing video editing?
@little leaf
Just gaming. I originally was gonna go with R7 2700X but the 3700X was surprisingly cheaper

#

and the 1660 Super should do perfectly fine for 1080p Gaming

little leaf Jun 16, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

@mortal void yes but there are better gaming builds for the price

#

Like 3600 and 2060

Or an amd equivalent

did you make that build? "good" is subjective and varies from one person to the next

normal sail Jun 16, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

I didn’t make it yet

#

But I need something that is good for gaming and YT with a budget around $1.5k

alpine sparrow Jun 16, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

when it comes to psu, i consider seasonic good, any other are OK

#

but that build is pretty good for the price btw, i read its better to hold off for 3080 since there's only a slightly increase with 2080 from 1080

#

7nm leap from 14nm (1080,2080)

normal sail Jun 16, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

But problem is I’m already dangerously close to my budget

alpine sparrow Jun 16, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

btw i would swap the 1tb hdd for 256,512gb ssd for about same price but the speed is better and use it for os, the other 2tb for data/gaming, (maybe even swap for 1tb ssd for $50 more but the speed is worth it), but that's just me if you dont mind the slower speed of hdd then its fine as it is

normal sail Jun 16, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Ok I’ll put in a few more ssds instead a hdd

alpine sparrow Jun 16, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

ssd's are cheap now, can get 1tb for less than $100, used to be $200 a year ago or so

#

nvme's and m.2 doesn't really matter, i dont see any boost from sata ssd, my game still loads in 3-5 seconds

#

also, samsung ssd are pretty good, i bought a samsung pro 840 back in 2014 use it for gaming 6hrs every day and still alive going strong, way past over the 5 yr warranty, i didnt want to wait for it to die so i got a samsung nvme 970 evo, and i dont notice any speed difference even tho my comp benchmark says nvme reads at 3000MB/s

Hi I was thinking of upgrading my pc but I have problem anyone help

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

What;s the problem

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

I'm in a position to buy a new gaming PC. I already decided I'm going to wait for the Nvidia 3000 series cards to come out and get the 3080 or 3090 but now I'm looking at the Z490 boards and the i7-10700K and wondering if I should hold off for full PCIe 4.0 support. However, I'm not entirely sure when that will be and what will that mean for the CPU socket and RAM support.

What do you think people? Hold off on motherboard, CPU, and RAM as well as GPU? At this point it's looking like I'm just buying the case and wait until the next gen of motherboards release to know what to buy....

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Just get AMD. They already have full PCIe support, and their new CPUs should be released around the same time as the RTX 3000 series

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Hmmm, I've literally only ever used Intel for the past 20 years....I really don't know ANYTHING about AMD boards, chipsets, and CPUs

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Basically AMD is kicking intel's butt right now

#

What would you consider a high-end CPU core count?

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

10 cores

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

try 16

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

AM4 the latest socket?

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

With hyperthreading

#

Yeah, am4

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

I usually like ASRock motherboards. What would be your top manufacture for AMD motherboards?

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

If you like ASRock, they're just as good AMD side

#

MSI is also good

#

https://i.redd.it/2iwdy5wrrly31.png

#

We've got a quick reference chart

#

You'll want x570 or b550 for pcie 4.0 support

#

x570 is the equivalent of intel's "z" chipsets

#

b550 is cheaper, but still supports overclocking

#

What's the difference between a threadripper and ryzen chip?

potent prairie Jun 16, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

Threadrippers are best for content creator who do video editing, autocad, etc

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

Threadripper is kinda more like the xeons

#

But threadrippers still use ryzen for the architecture

potent prairie Jun 16, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

It is great for multithreaded applications. Most people are much better off getting the wallet friendly Ryzen 5/7/9

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Basically, with threadrippers you can get up to 64 cores and 128 threads

#

Most people will be better with plain ryzen though

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Hmm, AMD Ryzen 9 3900X a good CPU?

@wanton crystal I'm waiting for some more banchmarks

They got officially announced this morning

#

@summer belfry I'd recommend a 3700x or the 4700x then

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Why 3700x over 3900x?

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

Mainly because you won't see that much improvement from 12 cores over 8 cores

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

But if I have the money might as well yeah?

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Maybe, but it might also mean you can get a better GPU

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

nah, I put in about $1100 for GPU budget

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

Okay. What's in the budget for CPU?

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Motherboard and CPU for less than $650

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Okay

#

You might consider waiting for the next gen ryzens, or possibly one of the new xt series

#

You're probably looking at ~450 max for CPU

#

~500 if you wait for stock to stabilize again

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

When's the expected release?

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

They've been scheduled for around the same time RTX 3000 comes out

#

The xt series just got officially announced today, and will be available for purchase in about a month

summer belfry Jun 16, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

What's the XT series?

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

We're not sure if XT is worth it yet though

📎 unknown.png

#

It's a refresh of the ryzen 3000 series

#

Like how intel has been doing so many refreshes lately

#

Oops, I just compared the wrong two chips

#

Ignore that one

sand falcon Jun 16, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

This is the one that's out in a few months

#

Zen3 will see 15 to 25% performance increase

#

The xt series is pretty much just a slightly faster zen2, nothing more

#

zen3 will be an entirely new architecture

#

So new features, higher clocks, lower latency, all sorts of stuff

@potent prairie that’s not a bad price! I’ve never used an SSD before, but I’ve learned they can do wonders for speed, so I definitely plan to upgrade that when I can.

Great 🙂

@cursive wharf
Is this an at all reliable PSU? @hushed radish here got it in a pre-built and wants to know if he should replace it when upgrading

spiral zealot Jun 16, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

came into possession of a 1st gen i7 setup, minus PSU/case. any use cases to make it worth finishing the build? or just try and flip it and move on?

cursive wharf Jun 16, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

erm, that'll probs take a bit to look into as I assume info will be non existent basically

potent prairie Jun 16, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Yeah, couldn't find anything

spiral zealot Jun 16, 2020, 10:15 PM

it's got a gtx 750ti in it now, but i have no idea how capable a first gen i7 would be in any level of gaming, even with a better GPU thrown in

@jaunty turtle ask here

crude otter Jun 16, 2020, 10:17 PM

Reviews I found on that psu say that failure after a year or two are pretty common

#

They all seem to say it works well, then just dies

Thanks!

I have a question, if the GPU I want is out of stock everywhere, but B&H says its backordered and expected on July 16th, does that mean that is how is how long it will take to stock everywhere else? (newegg, etc) https://gyazo.com/08a9c55a8740bcff44ab12a32208879e

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

If thats the case I really cant wait that long

#

It would put me out of my return policy for all other parts

#

I'll give it until June 22 to come in stock but if it doesn't, I'm going to get the MSI

sullen spoke Jun 16, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

i think that is about when places will start getting more stock. maybe not exactly the same time

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

@sullen spoke Does that mean that that card wont be available until then for all stores including newegg?

sullen spoke Jun 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

well there is no way we can know for sure. I say that because I spoke with people at B&H, best buy and guitar center about a few items they said they didn't have access to something like shipment records but it was a while since their last shipment, so my guess is when they start again it will be at relatively the same time

#

It is just a guess tho

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

oof

#

i mean like

#

i cant wait that long really

#

i already bought all other parts

#

waiting that long would put me out of newegg and amazon return

sullen spoke Jun 16, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

I ended up getting one of the items used, the other i am still waiting on

little osprey Jun 16, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

I'm not doing used

#

Demand for the gigabyte is nuts

sullen spoke Jun 16, 2020, 10:43 PM

yeah, there aren't many other options except waiting

or maybe check local stores, tho i would doubt they have it

You are aware that that ssd will take some of your system ram?

So uhh, anyone wanna try and figure out this one.
To give some backstory: taken from the place it was built to my house and that’s it. Worked perfectly and flawlessly at the builder but did this right off the bat when plugged in at my house.

📎 video0.mov

#

Not even 15 minutes between the time of worked fine at the builder and plugged in at my house

#

Power switch is on on the PSU and this happens when the Power Button is pressed

Bad Power Supply?

spiral zealot Jun 17, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

I'd check all the connections coming out of the PSU, something might have gotten jostled on the drive home

cursive wharf Jun 17, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

Seems like a short

spiral zealot Jun 17, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

Which makes me think maybe a connector is only making partial contact

cursive wharf Jun 17, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

So could be bad PSU or bad component

little leaf Jun 17, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

I think it shorted

#

if it worked just before

spiral zealot Jun 17, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

Checking all the connections is a quick way to make sure that it's not something simple like a half-inserted plug

cursive wharf Jun 17, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

Also quick booting like that can be from CPU not being mounted with enough pressure

spiral zealot Jun 17, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

If a plug wasn't seated all the way originally and it hit any kind of a bump, assuming it was in the car for a drive taking it home, could have loosened something

cursive wharf Jun 17, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Unplug one random connector and power it on

#

keep on doing that

till it stays on

#

unplug 24 pin last

@steep grove probably get a 1660 or a 2060S

Any certain ones i should look at? Wanting to spending around 150 at the most. Goiing with a Ryzen 5 3600 more than likely and might upgrade later down the line when the 4000 series come out. www.newegg.com/gigabyte-x570-ud/p/N82E16813145168?&quicklink=true overall thought on this MB? Is there a better option?

little osprey Jun 17, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

@wanton crystal you could get a 450

wanton crystal Jun 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

I thought about that but i was wanting to go with a B550 or X570 just for ease of upgrade and not having to flash it etc

little osprey Jun 17, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

550 would probably be a cheaper route

wanton crystal Jun 17, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

So what features would i be missing compared to the x570 Im still really new to pc building (this will be my first). But as far as big differences are there really that many? annnd there are so many different options to choose from so narrowing it down just seems to be difficult

little osprey Jun 17, 2020, 3:19 AM

From what I've seen not much

So as far as manufactures are they any i should go more towards or are they all about the same?

little osprey Jun 17, 2020, 3:24 AM

Msi tends to be decent

#

Asus/gigabyte ten to be cheaper

#

Unfortunately a lot of the cheaper ones with wifi is sold out rn

#

B550 is also recently released so demand is high

wanton crystal Jun 17, 2020, 3:26 AM

Yea i have been following releases Im not in that much of a rush just trying to learn as much as I can so i make the best informed decision i can

little osprey Jun 17, 2020, 3:26 AM

Ok

#

But b550 or x470 if you want cheaper but better then 450

wanton crystal Jun 17, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Ok thanks

little osprey Jun 17, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Personally rn id go 450 as a lot of the better mobos with wifi are sold out and probably will be, but if your planning for like 6 months plus down the road b550/x570 should be fine

#

Also, you could always get an external m2 adapter

I got 2 for $20 each

plus better bang for buck

amd is a better value

jagged ember Jun 17, 2020, 3:38 AM

but intel has slightly better raw performance

#

at the cost of your entire wallet

radiant temple Jun 17, 2020, 3:38 AM

ye but compared to amd it isnt that much

#

exactly

#

like $200 more for slightly better performance and prob no stock cooler

How about you do an intel build and I do a amd and see what we get?

#

I'm curious now 🙂
