oh by the way, pcpp is a great tool

little osprey
#

i cant wait for the parts to come in itll be great

#

Why do you have 2 different ram?@fallow hearth

#

hopefully no ketchup and mustard cables

jagged ember
#

eh

#

it just means more performance

sand falcon
#

What sort if case are you looking for burnz?

little osprey
#

hmm

fallow hearth
#

the purchased is my current build, im upgrading @little osprey

little osprey
#

one with good airflow

sand falcon
#

Good

little osprey
#

and rgb

#

for more fps

#

black color to match desk

jagged ember
#

you've learned the most important lesson

sand falcon
#

It would have good airflow though, and comes with four fans

jagged ember
#

damn

#

that's a great case

little osprey
#

just fans are blue?

#

or they rgb

fallow hearth
#

i think rgb

jagged ember
#

they're probably just blue

#

If i had to guess

sand falcon
#

Just blue

little osprey
#

blue=bad

jagged ember
#

if they come in quadruplets...

little osprey
#

Just blue

jagged ember
#

no, blue = cool

sand falcon
#

My case is blue

little osprey
#

But you could get 4 cheapo rgb fans

#

blue=better airflow but bad fps

sand falcon
#

Well, the fans are blue

jagged ember
#

it's technically rgb

#

just missing rg

little osprey
#

haha

sand falcon
#

I'm so bummed I didn't pick it

little osprey
#

Rosewill challenger S

#

I love that case

#

clean

#

blue good

jagged ember
#

lmao i got some cheapo case that cost 20 bucks

#

it's fine? but no space for expansion

little osprey
#

chunky boi

sand falcon
jagged ember
#

gamer boi

#

that's acc very gamer

little osprey
#

Looks like a furnace

sand falcon
#

I don't like it

jagged ember
#

EpIC

#

keep you warm in cold winters

#

but for that get an intel i9

little osprey
#

keep u hot for warm summer

jagged ember
#

only that will generate enough heat to warm your house

little osprey
#

hose uh

jagged ember
#

look typing is hard

little osprey
#

what hose we talkin bout

sand falcon
#

Might find a better PSU. I just slapped one in

little osprey
#

yeah i was about to say

#

everything was great and then a bronze

#

it looks super good

#

even popped a 2070 in there

#

2070 super even better

jagged ember
#

damn that's a good build

sand falcon
#

I'll find a better PSU 🀣

little osprey
#

is that the blue case

jagged ember
#

blue fan case

sand falcon
#

yeah

little osprey
#

alright its fine i like blue anyways

jagged ember
#

i mean with 4 fans, you can't go wrong with airflow

little osprey
#

looks good

jagged ember
#

PSU upgrade pls

little osprey
#

yes

sand falcon
#

Case is a personal thing, I usually just slap a decent looking one on

jagged ember
#

lemme dig around

little osprey
#

cant wait to build it

barren kindle
#

does anyone know if there is a psu watt min on the new 550 boards, or is it just whatever you put on it based?

sand falcon
#

Looks like we've got the option of the enermax cobra

little osprey
#

ill dm yall a pic when im done building it

jagged ember
#

lmao

sand falcon
#

@barren kindle Depends what you put in it

jagged ember
#

that thing is 88 dollars tho

little osprey
#

might take a while

barren kindle
#

thanks bob....thats what i was thinking

sand falcon
#

We've got a 100 budget leftover for PSU

meager sky
#

hey i have? i just bought an B550 ASUS rog strix E and i just got notified that the x570-e rog strix is back in stock should i get the x570 or b550

barren kindle
#

so i will be safe when i get mine in and installed

sand falcon
#

Which is cheaper Zerowings?

meager sky
#

300 for x570 and 275 for b550

jagged ember
#

The enermax Revolution is rated well on the PSU tier list

sand falcon
#

b550 then

jagged ember
#

i agree

meager sky
#

cool

sand falcon
#

Same tier as cobra though, isn't it?

meager sky
#

thanks

little osprey
#

alright its confirmed im buying the pc parts i got permission

sand falcon
#

Nice

little osprey
#

that psu tho idk

jagged ember
#

I mean

sand falcon
#

We're finding a better one

little osprey
#

alright

jagged ember
#

we try

little osprey
#

haha

jagged ember
#

considering the shortage, it's not easy

little osprey
#

wish the case fans were rgb

sand falcon
jagged ember
#

man, the corsair RMx is 105

barren kindle
#

for the price, which is better the new 550 rog or the 550 tomahawk?

little osprey
#

psu fan facing up right for airflow

sand falcon
#

Depends

jagged ember
#

depends, yep

little osprey
#

i watched the verge pc guide

#

i think ill do good

jagged ember
#

oH NO

little osprey
#

?

sand falcon
#

That's not the best guide

jagged ember
#

dude

#

that's

little osprey
#

ive been studying it

jagged ember
#

not a guide

little osprey
#

seriously?

spiral zealot
#

trollin'

#

i hope

jagged ember
#

if you're going to study a guide, watch Linus

#

seriously, the Verge's build is a meme because of how bad it is

sand falcon
#

Yes, Linus

spiral zealot
#

the verge PC build video from a year or two ago or whatever is literally the worst guide ever

little osprey
#

oh

jagged ember
#

LINUS

spiral zealot
#

unless they've done a new one since then

little osprey
#

how about bitwit?

#

is he any good

spiral zealot
#

bitwit is great too

jagged ember
#

yep

#

he's good too

spiral zealot
#

ltt, jayztwocents, bitwit, all solid techtubers

sand falcon
#

Screw it, I'm sticking in the cobra

jagged ember
#

I'm just Linus fan

#

sigh

#

the cobra it is

little osprey
#

verge benchmarked LOL and got 120 fps tho...

#

:9

jagged ember
#

the fact that it worked

little osprey
#

haha

jagged ember
#

is a miracle in of itself

spiral zealot
#

the verge video had me thinking he was legit gonna do the 'thermal paste in the socket' thing

#

and be serious

little osprey
#

lmaoo

jagged ember
#

yeah honestly

little osprey
#

dude iced a cake not a cpu

sand falcon
jagged ember
#

haha, yep

sand falcon
#

1000W

little osprey
#

are psu overkills bad?

sand falcon
#

No

jagged ember
#

nah

#

it's good for upgrading down the path

little osprey
#

like will my electricity bill be huge

sand falcon
#

Great for mememing πŸ™‚

#

No

jagged ember
#

also, memes

sand falcon
#

It will draw however much power the PC needs, no more

jagged ember
#

your pc will only draw as much power as it needs

#

mmhm

little osprey
#

ah got ya

spiral zealot
#

high efficiency means that it pulls as little power form the wall as needed to provide it's rated amount

sand falcon
#

We've got a 1200W PSU at work

jagged ember
#

having overhead room for more power is not a bad thing

spiral zealot
#

that's why 80 plus is so important

little osprey
#

ah damn 2 in stock

#

itl be gone by tmrw

barren kindle
#

what does it depend on bob and pen?

little osprey
#

lets hope no one finds it

jagged ember
#

haha let's hope so

sand falcon
#

Put it in the cart now?

spiral zealot
#

if you have a 500W psu but it's only 50% efficency, it will have to pull 1000W from the wall to give your PC 500W of useable power

jagged ember
#

mm

#

just buy it now?

sand falcon
#

@barren kindle What does what depend on?

jagged ember
#

ditto

little osprey
#

damn i would but my parents fast asleep

barren kindle
#

when i asked about the mobo

little osprey
#

i need their bank acc to buy parts

#

and i pay them back

jagged ember
#

wake them up

sand falcon
#

Ah. Mainly it depends on the CPU and GPU you decide to use

little osprey
#

lemme hop on the computer and buy it without them knowing?

jagged ember
#

lmao jk

little osprey
#

and tell them tmrw

jagged ember
#

Ah. Mainly it depends on the CPU and GPU you decide to use
Also depends on if you're overclocking them

#

or underclocking

barren kindle
#

r5 3600 and evga 2060sc

sand falcon
#

You might honestly. Up to you though

spiral zealot
#

just slip them a $20 or whatever every time they do something like say thank you, untl you paid them back

jagged ember
#

I underclock my cpu

sand falcon
#

Probably 500w or more

deep skiff
#

underclocking wack just undervolt

little osprey
#

thing is im broke

jagged ember
#

what does eco mode do?

#

it reduces the PPT of my cpu but is that like

#

undervolting?

little osprey
#

thanks sm guys yall didnt have to help me but you went out of your way so i could enjoy gaming a little bit more @jagged ember @sand falcon

sand falcon
#

πŸ‘

barren kindle
#

never over/under clocked anything, yet....so ya

sand falcon
#

This is a solid build. You will be able to run pretty much anything

jagged ember
#

πŸ‘

#

it will run

#

i have similar specs, and I can confirm

little osprey
#

cant wait to play ark and subnautica

#

until then i can only dream

jagged ember
#

hell yeah subnautica

little osprey
#

get blue led strip lights to put around room

#

blue pc

#

blue rgb keyboard and mouse

#

blue game

sand falcon
#

I like blue

little osprey
#

im blue dabudee dabudaa

jagged ember
#

just don't turn on blue light mode on your screen

spiral zealot
#

i'm trying to go blue with my PC

#

blue kb/mouse right now, trying to get my hands on some blue LED vengeance ram

tired turtle
#

hello gamers

little osprey
#

alright gn yall, big day ahead tmrw

barren kindle
#

all of my lights in my pc are blue...cept for the white led case lights

tired turtle
#

send a pic?

teal tartan
#

anyone have a recommendation for where to get windows 10 the cheapest?

jagged ember
#

existing windows pc, probably

deep skiff
#

ebay

barren kindle
#

i got windows free from windows and got a key off ebay for like $2.08 for win 10 pro

jagged ember
#

i was able to activate windows on my other pc using the license from my existing one

spiral zealot
#

i got a key from gvgmall for a friend and they haven't had any issues with it

#

but yeah, if you have an existing license

#

you can link it to a microsoft account

#

and activate on multiple PC's

#

i think up to 5 or something

jagged ember
#

that's how it works, IC

#

Linus went over this quickly in a video right

teal tartan
#

oh I can activate multiple pcs with my one license?

jagged ember
#

5

spiral zealot
#

no idea if LTT did it or not, i just remember logging into my microsoft acct for my last install and it was like 'hey you have a digital license now, congrats'

jagged ember
#

so yeah, go wild

teal tartan
#

baller

barren kindle
#

sadly, only have seen one of "linus" vids...was for his concrete cooler...LMAO

jagged ember
#

I haven't seen that one

spiral zealot
#

concrete cooler is lols

jagged ember
#

i watch the tech news

barren kindle
#

i need to start doing that again

jagged ember
#

haha, someday

#

lots to catch up on

barren kindle
#

yup

modern shadow
#

What do I get with 25 dollars

#

Any pc part

spiral zealot
#

cheap SSD maybe

#

some fans

modern shadow
#

I have a complete build already

#

I want to save up for a h100i

#

Or a three fan rad

jagged ember
#

fans

#

or rgb

modern shadow
#

What fan tho

#

Would like cooler master

jagged ember
modern shadow
#

Hmm

jagged ember
#

lmao cooler master is not bad also

#

it's got more rgb

barren kindle
#

my cpu cooler is a noctua..i love it

jagged ember
#

yeah man

#

noctua is great

barren kindle
#

nh-d15

#

chromax

#

barely fits in my case...LMAO

modern shadow
#

Air cooler or liquid?

barren kindle
#

mine is air

jagged ember
#

depends on the exoticness of your cooler

modern shadow
#

Like I want a cooler for 75?

jagged ember
#

in general, AIO cpu cooler is =< air cooler performance

#

Linus did a few videos on this

#

it's down to how much looks mean to you

#

and if you're willing to shoulder an increase in possible points of failure

modern shadow
#

I mean, what’s the best air/liquid cooler for 75?

#

Like pure perf

jagged ember
#

75 bucks

barren kindle
#

if you were able to spend, perhaps 30 more, you could get what i have @modern shadow

jagged ember
#

Noctua NH-U12S TR4

#

69 dollars

#

nice

barren kindle
#

fair warning, its pretty big though

jagged ember
#

the S stands for slim

#

so, it'll be smaller

barren kindle
#

yup, and i think that is the 1 fan version as well, correct?

jagged ember
#

mmhm

#

you're right

#

I would have gone for the U12A

#

but that's over budget

barren kindle
#

i looked at that one, then went with mine...lol

#

pic of it is in the build pics section

jagged ember
#

we'll need to see which one performs better

spiral flax
#

is the wd sn750 1 tb ssd good?

celest horizon
#

very good

#

very, very good

jagged ember
#

yeah, thats good

celest horizon
#

🐐

jagged ember
#

super super good

#

any recomendations on 75 dollar air coolers chopsticks

barren kindle
#

ssd's are new to me, so i cant answer that....but i did get one...lol

primal coyote
#

Is it a good time to buy pc parts right now or should I just wait until prices lower a bit?

jagged ember
#

that's a great question

#

do you need one right now?

barren kindle
#

i bought parts now, only cause my other pc was about dead after 10yrs

primal coyote
#

Not really in a rush to build a pc

barren kindle
#

if not in a rush, i would wait then

jagged ember
#

hmm, I'd say wait

#

PSU is real low supply

barren kindle
#

yup

jagged ember
#

mobo is too i think

barren kindle
#

a decent one for the most part, yes

modern shadow
#

Some cx in in stock

#

Don’t cheap out

jagged ember
#

but high price

#

not worth

spiral zealot
#

even used PSU stock is in short supply, or it's overpriced because people know about the supply issues

#

trying to find something cheap that won't explode, and it's hard

jagged ember
#

yeah man

#

gl

spiral zealot
#

tryin to put together a build for flipping, but idk if anyone will even want it, need a cheap PSU and case and i might just have to wait until supply lines settle down

fathom gate
#

I've just built my first pc it has a ryzen 9 3900x an 5700xt 32 gb ram hyperfury 5.25 tbs various storage. 750w power supply. The weakest part of this build is the mobo which is a gigabyte b450m ds3h. Is it worth it to upgrade this and if so are there affordable options that would offer me more but nothing less?

little leaf
#

@fathom gate I dont think that is healthy

#

Lol

#

The vrms on a ds3h are really bad

fathom gate
#

I'm looking to upgrade at 100 to 200$ help me lol

little leaf
#

I dont know how you are running that really

#

Well safely

#

@fathom gate just get an x570

bold robin
fathom gate
#

I need something with 4 sata slots 1 m.2 , 4 ram slots and am4 socket. Any suggestions?

bold robin
#

X570 Aorus Elite

#

Ultra

#

Etc

fathom gate
#

Lol you guys are scaring the newbie...should I stop using it what could happen?

#

I havent had issues to this point

bold robin
#

Your chip pulls like zero power but the VRMs on that board suck so.

little leaf
#

@analog pulsar ehat cooler u have

bold robin
#

Can't see what it's 4+3 is at what ampere

little leaf
#

Because those temps at idel are not good

analog pulsar
#

the stock one

little leaf
#

Did u mount it correctly?

analog pulsar
#

yes

little leaf
#

You might want to remount it and reapply the termal paster just in case it got messed up because those are very high temps for idel

#

Even with stock cooler

jagged ember
#

i might have to do that too

analog pulsar
#

i did

jagged ember
#

I'm undervolting my cpu to get more reasonable temps

#

around like 48 idle

bold robin
#

'more reasonable temps' -48c

little leaf
#

Lol

#

@analog pulsar do you have bad airflow?

analog pulsar
#

no

jagged ember
#

At least it's a safe temperature

#

what temps should a wraith stealth net you?

fathom gate
#

@bold robin would an Aorus x570 p prime be a feasible option for me?

bold robin
#

Safe temperature doesn't mean it's ok, but maybe for raisen it is. love_it

jagged ember
#

ryzen max temp is like 90 degrees

#

before thermal throttling kicks in

bold robin
#

Pls stop

jagged ember
#

lmao

analog pulsar
#

what

#

my cpu runs at 91C

jagged ember
#

yeah

#

it hurts me to see it at that temperature though

#

hence, I undervolt

analog pulsar
#

awe welp your out of luck

bold robin
#

No but seriously 91c? boxstare

analog pulsar
#

can i get a server motherboard for am4

jagged ember
#

with an all core load, ive gone higher

bold robin
#

No because it's not a server platform

jagged ember
#

but with ambient temps of like 29C

#

maybe that's my problem

analog pulsar
#

maybe i should overclock my cpu to see if temps go higher hmmmm

jagged ember
#

hmm yes quite

analog pulsar
#

sorry i love seeing fire

jagged ember
fathom gate
#

@bold robin its 300 usd and 150 for the prime p here in the us

bold robin
#

AMD hot and loud

fathom gate
#

Is the prime p a bad option for half the price?

bold robin
#

These are my temps at 4.5GHz under load for comparison. @analog pulsar

#

You'd probably be better off with an X470 for VRMs.

jagged ember
#

what cooler?

bold robin
#

Air

jagged ember
#

stock?

#

wait does xeon come with coolers?

bold robin
fathom gate
#

@bold robin I appreciate the help but I have a final question. If that's factual is an msi gaming x470 plus max what im looking for? I'm lost on specifics and can only spend from 100 to 200 dollars here.

bold robin
#

Well your board isn't going to spontaneously explode unless you put it under LN2 or shove 1.5V into it, just save up abit.

fathom gate
#

I dont overclock as of right now. And im not going to overvolt ever.

#

Thanks for the advice.

foggy bough
#

guys should i get a rx 580 ryzen 3 1200 or should i wait for 3 weeks in order to get a ryzen 5 1600 and a rx 5600xt

clever pike
#

get the 2nd one

#

for sure

#

it's a given

foggy bough
#

3 weeks is a lot

clever pike
#

not for the massive performance boost u will get

#

think about this it's like comparing a 1650s to a 2060

foggy bough
#

i know

clever pike
#

if I were u i'd 1000% go for the 2nd one unless u need it right now

foggy bough
#

i dont "need it"

#

but i have been waiting for so long

#

and its summer

clever pike
#

what gamer do u play/plan on playing?

foggy bough
#

sea of thieves,overwatch,tf2,shadow of the tomb raider and many more

#

mostly overwatch

clever pike
#

oh u will definitely want the 2nd one for tomb raider

#

144fps is pretty important in e sports

#

and ik that overwatch isnt vry demanding

foggy bough
#

i wont have 144hz

clever pike
#

yeh but if u do

#

idk man it's up to u

foggy bough
#

i will just play games at 60hz 1080p

clever pike
#

but personally I think u will b more satisfied with the 5600xt

foggy bough
#

how much more performance will i get?

clever pike
#

i'm getting a bench mark vid right now

#

sry i'm also lagging a lot

#

ok it's better now

foggy bough
#

okay lol

clever pike
#

a bit anyway lol

foggy bough
#

so basically i have watched some benchmarks and it was some big jump around 40 fps in AAA titles

clever pike
#

yeh thats what i'm saying

foggy bough
#

is that vid new?

clever pike
#

also that cpu could get u like an extra 5-10 fps I think

#

dosent matter

#

still gonna b pretty simular ]

#

just make sure that the 580 in the vid has the same amount of memory

#

huh?

foggy bough
#

yeah it has 8gb

clever pike
#

ok good

foggy bough
#

but its the cheapest one

#

the xfx which has mediocre temps and noise

clever pike
#

is overclocking an option?

foggy bough
#

the rx 5600xt will be a saphirre which is better

#

i wont overclock

clever pike
#

yeh that sapphire is a good card

#

I was gonna get a 5600xt but I think i'm gonna get a 1660s just because if I did get a 5600xt I would have to cheap out on other components

#

and I want to just have a solid build with good upgradeability

foggy bough
#

i will have a really good power suppply,much storage,case fans and motherboard

clever pike
#

ok thats good

foggy bough
#

so basically i should wait to get the 2nd one?

clever pike
#

thats what I would do yes

foggy bough
#

omg thx

#

for da help

clever pike
#

you could also get something like a 1660s

#

if u don't wanna wait as long

foggy bough
#

yeah i could

clever pike
#

but the 5600xt is still about 20% faster I think

foggy bough
#

oh yeeeah

#

its gonna be an awesome expierience

clever pike
#

yeh i'm gonna b able to get my new pc in like a week and a half aswell

#

can't wait xd

#

well good luck i'm glad I could help

foggy bough
#

omg thats awesome!

little osprey
#

what case yall recommend for atx mid tower

austere wren
#

@little osprey
#0822

#

Do you have any ideas yet?

little osprey
#

i want rgb on it

#

and good airflow

austere wren
#

price limit?

little osprey
#

hmm $80

austere wren
#

I see a 100 dollar case

#

Idk if it's good though

#

not many cheap rgb cases that are good I believe

little osprey
#

should i just get the h510 then

deep skiff
#

h510 doesnt have great airflow

little osprey
#

hmm

little osprey

@celest spear how nice is that z63?

celest spear
#

Keeps a 9900K under 50 at full load

#

@silk estuary

little osprey
#

Hey guys

silk estuary
#

Nice

#

Ive got myself a x63

little osprey
#

Can y'all answer a build question for me

viral ore
#

ask the question first

#

then i will see if i want to answer it

little osprey
bold robin
#

Now run it properly at 5.3ghz. @celest spear

celest spear
#

That’s where it’s at, had the builder move it to that immediately

little osprey
#

Does anyone know a good build for VR for around $600 US? (Oculus rift s)

bold robin
#

Under 50 at 5.3?

#

Prime95 stable?

viral ore
#

@little osprey you arent going to get very far on 600

little osprey
#

Entry lvl? I can upgrade down the rd

viral ore
#

to run a rift S without getting sick every time you play, you need at LEAST 1200

little osprey
#

This is for my brother btw

#

@viral ore 1200??

viral ore
#

yes

#

vr is not cheap

celest horizon
#

5.3 is an unrealistic goal for an average bin 9900k at ambient.

viral ore

you need to run 1440p @ 90fps

little osprey
#

I'm just sick of him having to use my pc to do vr lol

bold robin
#

love_it worth a try

viral ore
#

what is your pc?

#

like, spec wise

little osprey
#

Like whole sheet?

viral ore
#

just cpu and gpu

little osprey
#

Or just cpu/gpu

#

Øk

cursive wharf
#

use that thing AMD did for interpolation on VR and run off a 570

little osprey
#

R7 2700/ 2060S

viral ore
#

hei, explain

#

i have never heard of this

cursive wharf
#

It was a long time ago

#

idk much of it now because I never look into VR

viral ore
#

oh

cursive wharf
#

just remember hearing about it

viral ore
#

what vr games does your brother play

cursive wharf
#

but can run at 45Fps and it does interpolation or smth

little osprey
#

@viral ore mostly FNAF vr

#

And beatsaber

viral ore
#

ok

little osprey
#

Just ordered a 1660

#

Epic gamer moment

#

Today I'm mailing off my psu to gigabyte for repair :/

viral ore
#

alright, heres what i have come up with

little osprey
#

@viral ore what's that warning?

potent prairie
#

@little osprey No selling. See rules

viral ore
#

it has to do with cpu and motherboard compatability

potent prairie
#

▢️ ο»Ώ9. No sweepstakes/giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.

viral ore
#

the website cant check, so it leaves it up to the user to figure it out

#

the motherboard and cpu are compatible tho

little osprey
#

So is everything compatible out of box?

viral ore
#

yes

potent prairie
little osprey
#

That'd be good for vr correct?

viral ore
#

i understand the psu is not ideal, but for the actual power draw of the components, the 550w is fine

#

but, sure, for 4 more $, it cant hurt

#

and yes, this build will handle vr games

#

it wont run half life alyx, but at least it wont have to run games like that

cursive wharf
#

It's most likely the fact that the 650w model is different then 550w

potent prairie
viral ore
#

yeah, the 650 uses the dc dc converter thing

#

idrk

#

something like that

cursive wharf
#

I havent looked into CV much so idk

viral ore
#

i do know there is a reason the 650w is better, as i have suggested these psus before

#

but i didnt realize it was only 4 dollars more rn lol

potent prairie
viral ore
#

ahh, thank you

#

does anyone have the link to that ssd spresdsheet?

potent prairie
#

Yeah

viral ore
#

i lost it when i reset my phone lol

potent prairie
viral ore
#

ahh, cool

cursive wharf
viral ore
#

when are you planning on buying these parts?

hushed pollen
#

This is my current case

#

I think I might get a new one, because AIO clearance is questionable

viral ore
#

well, according to the website, it supports a 240mm in front and a 120mm in back

#

so unless you have other things in the way, a standard thickness rad and fan will fit

analog hearth
#

I think he means the thickness of the radiator and fans

viral ore
#

i mean, most AIOs are the same thickness

#

20mm rad, 25mm fan

hushed pollen
#

Dang.

#

I was mainly wanting clearance on the top

analog hearth
hushed pollen
#

Rip

#

Time to get a nice Corsair case

analog hearth
#

only 240mm

hushed pollen
#

Maybe a Lian Li

#

The amount of times I've rebuilt my PC lately lol

#

New motherboard and PSU, then redoing cable management

viral ore
#

@little osprey when are you planning on purchasing this pc?

#

this is the best you can do, unfortunatly, lots of other, better components are out of stock

#

i wanted to get you a b450 mobo, but they were all too expensive, and the better 650w psu is oos everywhere

potent prairie
#

@hushed pollen
Make sure you get an actually good corsair case. They have some poor offerings in my opinion. Spec omega series was not well designed and isn't very durable

viral ore
#

however, there is only one motherboard left in stock

#

i suggest you buy NOW @little osprey

little osprey
#

after watching Linus Tech Tips and other channels for awhile now, I built my first and entire PC with no video reference yesterday and everything worked first try... it's was kewl. loving the 5700xt and 3700x

viral ore
#

nice job

#

good cpu gpu combo

little osprey
#

@viral ore now??

sand falcon
#

NOW

#

Unless it's gone

little osprey
#

@viral ore was planning on getting it sometime in July

viral ore
#

damn it

#

i always forget to ask that

#

well, come back the day your ready to buy

#

then well talk

#

or someone else

potent prairie
#

that's a good loose plan but prices change and parts come out πŸ™‚

little osprey
#

I currently have a GTX 960, and I am looking for an upgraded graphics card, that is around 300 -500 dollars. anybody have any suggestions?

potent prairie
#

What CPU do you have? What do you plan to do with it?

little osprey
#

i have the Intel Core i7 3770K

potent prairie
#

Just gaming at 1080p?

deep skiff
#

dunno you could get a 5700xt/2070S at $500

potent prairie
#

For 1440phttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WW2SZRY?tag=georiot-us-default-20&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=tomshardware-4025517870301644000-20
ACtually there's a 5700 XT for $380 here

#

Wait nvm, I don't think powercolor is a super reputable brand

deep skiff
#

They’re a good brand

potent prairie
#

Really? Aight

deep skiff
#

they make the red devil cards

potent prairie
deep skiff
#

the amazon one is a 5600xt btw

potent prairie
#

Oops, good catch

versed bane
#

I want to upgrade my PC a bit. I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600 and a 1060, and I'd like to upgrade to a 1660 super

#

If I upgrade the graphics card to the 1660 super should I also upgrade my CPU or will the current one be fine

little osprey
#

Debating on building a system around one of the new 550 boards while I save up to eventually build the xtreme based pc

cold iron
wet fern
#

Where would I find a 3300x that is in stock and not $5000?

little osprey
#

Let me know if you find one

quick pond
#

looking to build a new pc, so i am thinking R5 3600 and a new B550 board. but not sure on the graphics card. i don't really play anything more than WoW, but i would like to play that and Overwatch on more than Lowest of Low settings. i was thinking the GTX 1660 Super?

little leaf
#

@quick pond to save money you could get a 3300x and 1650s

#

and a b450 board instead

#

let me make a list for you

#

whats youbudget?

spiral flax
#

can somebody create me a pc parts list with a budget of 1350 USD. RGB and a lot of corsair products would be appeciated. PC for gaming and light streaming and some hw

little leaf
#

@spiral flax sure

spiral flax
#

k

cursive wharf
#

RGB+corsair = $400 of random waste

little leaf
#

Pretty much

spiral flax
#

ik lol

little leaf
#

you can still get rgb but not corsair

spiral flax
#

k

cursive wharf
#

yeah, rgb non corsair is like $35

#

rather then like $400

spiral flax
#

im just saying put some corsair products

#

not rgb crosair

cursive wharf
#

only corsair thing that might happen is PSU

#

as Corsair PSUs are usually well priced

spiral flax
#

fax

deep rain
#

fact

little leaf
#

Ye

spiral flax
#

tell me when done with list homies

little leaf
#

Problem is corsair psus are out of stock pretty much everywhere

spiral flax
#

its fine if its ofs

#

just create a juicy list

#

it can contain ofs stuff btw

cursive wharf
spiral flax
#

thx

cursive wharf
#

5 rgb fans for the rgb

#

rest is standard non rgb stuff

little osprey
#

+50fps

little leaf
#

@cursive wharf you could get rgb ram and a better cooler at that price

cursive wharf
#

rgb RAM that isnt 3600 CL16

little leaf
#

no no sorry I meant in the budget

cursive wharf
#

just get a 3700x instead

little leaf
#

He has a 100 more to spend and he can get rgb ram or a better cooler because even though the stock cooler is fine you could do better

cursive wharf
#

thought it was 1250 budget

little osprey
#

wtb rgb ram that is faster than cl18

little leaf
#

nah he said 1350

#

Hei you know anything about asia horse fans?

cursive wharf
#

anyways, that just means 3700x
Also no

mortal void
#

would a R5 3600 do good with VR?

cursive wharf
#

yeah

mortal void
#

I'm trying to make a better priced build for my future PC

#

seeming as how the R5 3600 is still a really good CPU as I keep seeing

little leaf
#

I'm about to sell my pc at a profit

cursive wharf
#

Im wondering how much my 6700k will sell tbh

little leaf
#

not sure why but I just feel like I should

cursive wharf
#

probs almost profit

#

after upgrading

little leaf
#

Hei you think I should sell or not?

mortal void
#

80+ bronze okay since its budget? or should I go expensive with it?

little leaf
#

Because rtx 3000

#

80+ bronze is fine

mortal void
#

keep in mind I have a 5700 XT THICCCCCCCCCCC III in the build

cursive wharf
#

I mean you probably can, but it'd probs take some effort to do

mortal void
#

how much is RTX 3000 gonna be? Oh_No

little leaf
#

I already have a buyer on offer up with 40 positive review and true you

#

And I'm selling for a profit of about 150 ish

mortal void
#

should I go a bit more up in PSU Price and at the very least do Semi Modular? I kinda feel like I'd benefit from it

little leaf
#

Whats your build?

mortal void
#

Its a little on the expensive side but its alot better than my other build with the 3700x and 1660S

little leaf
#

@mortal void you just doing video editing?

mortal void
#

I was just gonna do gaming, thats why I'm putting together this new build

little leaf
#

Then don't go with 3700x and 1660s

mortal void
#

yeah no

cursive wharf
#

I'd guess that the GT 3030 would be 15k USD

#

after all it is Nvidia

little leaf
#

@mortal void why not?

mortal void
#

that one is about an $1800 Build before the taxes break my wallet. This current one is $1467 before taxes

little leaf
#

@mortal void there is a better gaming build for the price

cursive wharf
#

3700x is a waste for gaming at that budget

#

more money on GPU would be better

mortal void
#

yeah I kinda realized that

little leaf
#

^

mortal void
#

this one I did isn't as budget as it can be, but I put a few things I need/want

#

I'm happy with it

little leaf
#

@mortal void A btter choice would be mp34 with a 2tb baracuda and then put more moeny into the gpu

cursive wharf
#

68 CAD on fans is quite a bit

#

esp when case already comes with two

little leaf
#

Those fans are very pricey

mortal void
#

non pwm and they are likely crap

cursive wharf
#

voltage control then, also case fans dont need to spin that fast

mortal void
#

Those fans are very pricey
@little leaf
I was thinking of doing Silent Wings 3 lmao

cursive wharf
#

so even bad fans dont sound loud when at low rpm

mortal void
#

the issue is I have no idea how well the stock fans would move air

cursive wharf
#

two fans in a mesh case will be good enough

#

when bad or good

mortal void
#

I can either have a higher cost now, with good fans. Or take my chances of the Stock Fans

#

I'm debating

cursive wharf
#

It's not like you're going to be running them at 100rpm either, probs maybe 300 - 500 rpm

mortal void
#

running with stock fans at first will allow me to take the price of the 3 fans I was gonna buy, and probably put the cost into a better PSU

#

hopefully at least semi modular at that point

#

without accounting for taxes thats about $70 to spend elsewhere

#

not sure where to put it other than PSU

#

PSU budget could be $159.99 if I cut the fans out

cursive wharf
sharp viper
#

Quick question

#

What’s better.. a 1050 Ti or a rx 580

mortal void
#

I like choice for PSU. Case seems good, is it a good airflow case? Would prefer PSU shroud but eh. Not super important. I really would like the 1TB SSD for Games and Files. Keeping the MP34 for Boot Drive. The cheaper RAM is probably fine. Even if its 3200

cursive wharf
#

HDD to SSD doesnt do much for dedicated game drive tbh

#

only really see a difference for OS drive

mortal void
#

thats fair

cursive wharf
#

@sharp viper RX580

mortal void
#

wouldn't games load faster with SSD? or are the loading times negligible?

cursive wharf
#

noticeable by an okay amount side by side, smth like 10 secs or so

mortal void
#

so not really worth the price then?

cursive wharf
#

some games it might be

mortal void
#

hmm

cursive wharf
#

will look into it later

#

gtg now

mortal void
#

alright

#

thanks

little osprey
#

I need to put together a new parts list for my temp pc

floral pewter
#

I need a suggestion for an affordable motherboard for my rig. I have a 9th gen Intel i7 CPU, two x8GB of 2666 RAM a GTX 1060 VPU, a Samsung SSD (not m.2!) and an audioblaster sound card. I am really looking for an inexpensive board. Do you think this would do the trick?: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145149?Item=N82E16813145149 any advice would be greatly appreciated (this is my 1st build.)

Is my build bad for a budget, Ryzen 5 3600,1650s ,gskill ripjaws 16gb

#

Oh also b450m ds3h motherboard

potent prairie
#

What budget?

karmic vigil
#

Like 600-700

#

Oh and a 500gb crucial p1 sad

#

Ssd*

deep skiff
#

what gpu

#

oh nvm

floral pewter
#

Hey, Night, thanks for the suggestion!

spiral zealot
#

psu/case shopping on a budget is a crapshoot. there's a line between cheap and a good deal and cheap and a piece of junk and supply issues make it that much worse

potent prairie
#

Yep, np

spiral zealot
#

this is annoying

karmic vigil
#

Any answers for my build? (Scroll up)

deep skiff
#

I’d see if you can grab a 3300x for $120 (anything more the value vs a 3600 decreased a lot) and see if you could get a slightly better gpu like a 1660S

potent prairie
karmic vigil
#

Already got the stuff lol

potent prairie
#

Ok then

deep skiff
#

is tomie still streaming mc

mortal void
#

is the MX330-X any good or nah?

karmic vigil
#

It’s not bad for it’s price

mortal void
#

hmm

#

any good cases at the $69.99 price point? Canadian Currency tho

karmic vigil
#

How much is 70 Canadian to usd?

potent prairie
#

Ask google

mortal void
#

about $50

karmic vigil
#

Ok it was 51 USF

#

Yea

#

Usd* lol

mortal void
#

$70 is $49.6515 USD apparently

#

so $50

#

but I doubt that'd be accurate on PCPartPicker

karmic vigil
#

Check out a rose will challenger if ur willing to spare like 3 bucks in usd

#

Pretty decent case

mortal void
#

its $69.99 as well

karmic vigil
#

Do I need a heat sync for my m.2 ssd (just for gaming)

mortal void
#

just the regular Challenger?

karmic vigil
#

Jd u should get that one

#

Yeah

mortal void
#

OMG it looks so old lmao

#

oof the HDD Cages are riveted

#

nah chief it ain't for Me lol

karmic vigil
#

Yeah it’s ok it’s decent for budget I guess

mortal void
#

I just wanted to look at non windowed options. My SSD is kinda ugly to have it showing to the world lol

little osprey
#

Is a b700h or Thermaltake toughpower 650w better

karmic vigil
#

Oh lol

#

Jd are u on a budget or you want your pc to look cool lol

mortal void
#

trynna budget. I have a Deepcool E-Shield on my build RN

#

dumb question

#

can a 3 pin fan plug into a 4 pin?

potent prairie
#

yh

karmic vigil
#

Ye

celest horizon
#

Yes

#

Set bios fan control to DC

mortal void
#

ok cool

karmic vigil
#

What happens if u don’t set it to dc

celest horizon
#

It'll just run at 100%

karmic vigil
#

Oh

#

Good to know cuz mine is like that lol

#

Are stock fans good to keep if I’m budgeting

mortal void
#

I'm probably gonna do ASRock B450M PRO4 because it has more than 2 Fan Headers than the ASRock B450M PRO4-f which only has a 4-pin and 3-pin. Although would I only need 2 fans to keep it cool?

karmic vigil
#

I mean amount of fan headers I don’t think it matters cuz of fan splitters don’t quote me on this tho

quick pond
#

@little leaf sorry for the long response, i love the idea of a 3300x, but that is like $200, $80 overpriced. and i was hoping for some light streaming capabilities, and maybe some slight future-proofing, hence the b550 mobo.

mortal void
#

would a tower come with a fan splitter?

little leaf
#

Amd said b450 would support gen 4

mortal void
#

just in-case I needed more than 2 fans?

quick pond
#

yes, if you do something to the b450's bios, and then said that if it bricks, not their problem. at least, that's what i got out of it.

little osprey
#

Quick question, is it possible to get an adapter to use a GPU externally for say a laptop with an integrated gpu

karmic vigil
#

Depends on the case but even if no fan splitters they’re super cheap

mortal void
#

I'll just do the regular Pro4. Its only like a $13 difference from the Pro4-f

#

for total cost

karmic vigil
#

Ok

#

How much fans does it case support

#

Ur* lmao I’m on a phone so autocorrect is trash

mortal void
#

hol up

#

ill look

quick pond
#

i could be wrong, of course,

mortal void
#

Pre-installed: Rear: 1Γ—120mm fan; Optional: Front: (Without CD-ROM installed) 3Γ—120mm or 3Γ—140mm; (With CD-ROM installed) 2Γ—120mm or 2Γ—140mm, Top: 2Γ—120/140mm

potent prairie
#

@little osprey yes

little osprey
#

That's a lot of fans

potent prairie
#

If you have thunderbolt 3

mortal void
#

looks like 5 with CD-Rom and 6 without CD-Rom? uh

little osprey
#

That's a lot

mortal void
#

anyway gtg

little osprey
#

Dang expensive GPU

shadow mango
#

what temp should my gpu run at its at 40c

mortal void
#

Dang expensive GPU
@little osprey
Less expensive than RTX equivalent, and honestly better IMO since I don't care about Ray Tracing

little osprey
#

True, I got a 970

viral ore
#

40c under load or idling?

#

my GPU idles around that temp, so you should be fine

little osprey
#

@mortal void 5700xt over 2070S?

#

That's what he did

#

Y

#

Cheaper and doesn't care about raytracing

covert crypt
#

What are peoples thoughts on the asus zephyrus g14? Isn't 1660ti worse than 2060?

little osprey
#

They're about the same

#

@covert crypt they both have above 1800 mhz boost speed and are a 6GB GPU

#

@little osprey πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

#

Maybe for his area it's cheaper

#

Maybe

#

@covert crypt 2060 got rt if your in to that though

#

That's really the only major difference

hazy ridge
#

I need help building a pc I have a $1100 CAD buget and I have a 144hz monitor and I want to play games like cod, fallout 76, csgo, valorant and minecraft

little osprey
#

You could do that for probably around $8-900

#

Especially since you have monitor already

hazy ridge
#

Really

#

All I need is the pc no peripherals I have a good keyboard and mouse already

little osprey
#

1080p or 1440

hazy ridge
#

1080

little osprey
#

Ok

#

AMD or Intel?

#

@little osprey keep in mind CAD is a little weaker than usd

#

I saw

#

1 USD is 1.36 CAD

hazy ridge
#

I think and is better

#

AMD

little osprey
#

Streaming or no?

#

Lol

hazy ridge
#

No streaming only gaming

little osprey
#

Yeah for the price it probably is

#

Ok

#

So @little osprey I'm thinking 5 3600 and maybe a 1660 S

#

Sal is that ur actual specs? Lol

#

For now

#

Just missing a few parts

#

@little osprey could work

#

I think you could throw in an rtx 2060 ko though

#

And rn I have more important things to worry about then computer hardware

#

@little osprey I understand

hazy ridge
#

Rn I have a laptop so I def need a pc for my monitor

little osprey
#

Well if he's not streaming and only doing 1080, a 2060 might be a bit much

#

True, but more "future proof"

hazy ridge
#

Ya maybe a 1080

#

I think that would be good enough

little osprey
#

A1660 or a 1660 Super would do

#

Only benefit for a 2060 would be rtx in Minecraft

#

@hazy ridge I'll put a pcp list together

hazy ridge
#

Ok thank you alot

#

I dont need rtx in mc that's a bit much

little osprey
#

@hazy ridge you have storage?

#

And if your not doing rtx, then a 1660 Super would be the furthest I'd go

hazy ridge
#

I have a execces storage 3tb

little osprey
#

Ok

hazy ridge
#

Connected with a USB type 3

#

I'm pretty sure

little osprey
#

SSD or HDD?

hazy ridge
#

Idk I'm new to this stuff and I'm still learning

#

How do I tell?

little osprey
#

Ahh ok

#

Do you know what hard drive it is?

hazy ridge
#

Not really no

little osprey
#

Take a pic and send it to me?

hazy ridge
#

Of what?

little osprey
#

The drive

hazy ridge
#

It's called a my book here I'll send a pic

little osprey
#

heres my recommendation

hazy ridge
#

I need maximum price so I get the best spec thoe

#

So @little osprey has a good build I think

little osprey
#

πŸ‘

#

my bad didnt see the mobo was out of stock

#

changed it

hazy ridge
#

But will it run cod warzone at 60 fps @little osprey

little osprey
#

@hazy ridge yessir

hazy ridge
#

Ok cool

#

Thanks

#

stoic island
#

Why a gx2?

little osprey
#

5600xt is a powerful card

#

@stoic island affordable internal storage

stoic island
#

Gx2 is dramless

little osprey
#

True

#

Well he has an external 3tb drive

stoic island
#

Team Vulcan / Team L5 3d have dram

little osprey
#

Also true

stoic island
#

Dram isn't something you should just skimp on

#

The drive just slowly killing itself isnt good

little osprey
#

Truthfully we could just put a 250gb drive just for os

#

Even a 120

#

If just for os

stoic island
#

Just... Get a different drive

#

Mp34 512gb for 70$ if you want a fast boot drive

#

Or sn750 500gb at around the same price

little osprey
#

What about an adata su655?

stoic island
#

Still dramless

little osprey
#

860 evo

hazy ridge
#

All I have to plug in is ethernet, mouse, keyboard, headset, monitor and the external drive

stoic island
#

Team Vulcan 1tb and team L5 3d 1tb usually sit around the 100$ mark

little osprey
#

Here we go 256 cache plextor m8vh $53.48

stoic island
#

All the Samsung stuff other than t7 has dram

little osprey
#

128 gb

stoic island
#

Ouch

little osprey
#

@stoic island that's my ssd

stoic island
#

50$ can get you mp34 256gb

#

50$ for 128gb is uh

#

Yea

little osprey
#

True

#

Patriot VPN100? Get a m2 boot drive?

stoic island
#

4.0 drive eh

#

Oh wrong one

#

Looked at vp4100 lol

#

Vpn100 seems good if prices are decent

little osprey
#

For me $49.99

stoic island
#

For how big

little osprey
#

256

#

Gb

stoic island
#

stoic island
#

Oof

#

Rip

#

256gb price is decent tho

#

I'd say for good nvme drives it should be <50 256gb, <70 512gb, <130 1tb

little osprey
#

And for a boot drive the vpn100 should be good

#

list including boot drive

#

I realized a lot of people have their specs in their name so now so do I lol

stoic island
#

I personally wouldn't go under 512gb for boot drive as I like to put games on boot drive, but 256gb is fine

#

@little osprey no don't

#

Don't join them

little osprey
#

Uh oh

#
