broken anchor
#

Are they any good though?

viral ore
#

its for a second monitor, right?

broken anchor
#

Yes

stoic island
#

There are some new monitors for like 80$ that are 1080p 60hz

viral ore
#

it will be good enough

broken anchor
#

For looking at discord and stuff

#

Hmmm oke I will check them out

#

Ty

viral ore

example of something in my area

TotalLord18#9723 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

broken anchor
#

Oh crap

stoic island
#

Crap indeed

little osprey
#

-sniffs- something stinks in here

mortal void
#

someone give me a color hex code for this corsair RGB Machinw

#

Machine

broken anchor
#

45 67 420

mortal void
#

ok

vestal sonnet
#

also someone said earlier but i don’t feel like scrolling that far, rx 5600xt or gtx 2060

mortal void
stoic island
#

5600xt

#

For pure gaming

#

2060 has better features for streaming and such but less performance

mortal void
#

and now to reset the workshop and build some more stuff

little osprey
#

whoa, what is that you're using

mortal void
#

PC Building Sim

little osprey
#

I want to play with virtual parts

mortal void
#

Steam or G2A has it

#

DLC isn

#

isn't super worth it

#

NZXT Workshop is nice though

#

it has shelves for storing unused towers

stoic island
#

It doesn't have much parts tho

#

Is sad

mortal void
#

yeah

stoic island
#

@mortal void base game has the cabinet tho

#

Wardrobe

mortal void
#

does it?

stoic island
#

Whatever you call it

#

Left of the main workbench

mortal void
#

ohhhh

little osprey
#

Only problem ... I DESPISE NZXT

exotic carbon
#

Y?

stoic island
#

Me too

mortal void
#

I haven't played in awhile.

stoic island
#

Bad airflow

exotic carbon
#

They make good stuff

stoic island
#

At least their value with their prebuilts are decent

little osprey
#

Put it this way. I had a nice long talk with the CEO one day about how horrible the CS and cheap electronic parts were.

stoic island
#

That's the only redeeming factor

little osprey
#

That was after 3 years of replacing the original 2 year warranted parts.

#

Right after that, all the phantom cases were discontinued.

#

And mine still has a bad control panel in it.

stoic island
#

New or used

#

Used, 800 or less

little osprey
#

Brand new

#

Way too vague on parts to give a quote

stoic island
#

New... Depends on specifics

#

Like motherboard

#

Psu

#

Cooler

little osprey
#

or psu brand, level, etc

#

It's a sale on offerup

#

Ask for specifics.

mortal void
#

OH DUDE

#

thats dope

little osprey
#

What

stoic island
#

Anything that isn't shipped directly from manufacturer I call used :p

#

I'd put a price tag of around 800$ on that still

little osprey
#

Ok I'll ask him for the mobo psu and cooler

#

try to get brands and model on everything really

mortal void
stoic island
#

I'm gonna make a guess it's a BR600

#

Because there arnt many 600w power supplies

#

nd that's the only real decent one

#

If it's anything else there's a high likelihood it's bad

mortal void
#

any ideas for a next build?

little osprey
#

@stoic island ok I just asked him

stoic island
#

@mortal void try custom loop

mortal void
#

aw heck nah

stoic island
#

Tubing was finicky when I played with it last

mortal void
#

I wanna go to bed soon

stoic island
#

Like things just wouldn't be straight

little osprey
#

No sleeping!

mortal void
#

Custom loop = bad for sleep

stoic island
#

And I got mad at it

little osprey
#

Do they have corsair and gigabyte stuff in the builder?

vestal sonnet
#

what brand of rx 5600xt should i get

little osprey
#

Gigabyte

#

Whatever is cheapest

mortal void
#

@little osprey
Did you forget I've been up since 12pm yesterday?

ashen needle
#

oh heck I forgot I owned that game

little osprey
#

@mortal void yes

stoic island
#

@little osprey depends, MSI 5600xt has bad cooling

little osprey
#

True

stoic island
#

It's cheap but bad yaknow

vestal sonnet
#

as long as it fits in my micro atx case

little osprey
#

@mortal void I mean u can go to sleep if you want I was just joking

vestal sonnet
#

and isn’t bad

stoic island
#

Yes

little osprey
#

Lol

vestal sonnet
#

so gigabyte

mortal void
#

@mortal void I mean u can go to sleep if you want I was just joking
@little osprey
I will after one more build

stoic island
#

Gigabyte usually good

little osprey
#

usually

#

I used to have a prebub but it was doo doo so I sent it back lol

mortal void
#

I'm gonna do a build in the GamerStorm Quadstellar Electro weggsmug

little osprey
#

And built my own

#

Giga is also really good about taking care of things if something does go wrong.

#

It had this trash MSI card that managed to fight my AC unit

mortal void
#

oh boy this is a bad idea

stoic island
#

Yea MSI ventus oc is pretty bad

mortal void
#

ok nah this too much

stoic island
#

All their higher end cards are great tho

#

I have a 2070 Duke oc

little osprey
#

@stoic island yep that's the one a ventus oc

stoic island
#

Doesn't ever go over like 70c

little osprey
#

MSI started as an intro level company so the low end stuff ... -pokes with stick-

stoic island
#

Yea ventus oc has cooling issues

#

The heatsink just isn't good enough

little osprey
#

It was so hot

stoic island
#

Everything else is good afaik on the Nvidia side

mortal void
#

Corsair Graphite 380T weggsmug

stoic island
#

AMD side just avoid MSI cards

#

I just remember them having bad thermals

little osprey
#

I don't the the offerup guys gonna respond tonight because of how late it is

#

Or early depending on how you look at it

vestal sonnet
little osprey
#

Windforce gpus run very cool. especially the 3x versions

stoic island
#

Looks decent

little osprey
#

Yes I have a windforce 3x, very cool gpu

#

Much cooler than ventus

#

Though I need to fix mine sagging...

#

Or just order the riser I've got in my wl

hollow radish
#

Hey everyone, so I just got my first pc in the mail (not a prebuilt) and I have made preparations to build it myself. I have to wait for a few missing accessories to arrive from fractal designs for my case but in prepping my building space, I realized I’m not really sure where to clip my ESD strap to as it’s a wooden tables on carpet... I have researched ESD so I know about having the power supply plugged in to use as a ground but would having a laptop power cord plugged in to reach the table and then clipping the end of the ESD wire to the metal tip(that goes into the laptop) work as a ground? Or could it possibly make a path through me to the motherboard or other parts while I’m handling them? I still haven’t removed anything from the anti static bags because I’m pretty nervous but I definitely want to build it myself. Any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the noob question. Once I get into water cooling with hardline and wiring up RGB or something I’ll be sure to ask questions that aren’t so cringey haha I’m excited for my first build!

little osprey
#

holy moly

#

I surrender

#

wall of text warning -runs screaming-

#

ESD bracelets are a joke

stoic island
#

Eh anti static straps arnt necessary so I never looked into them

little osprey
#

I've built well over a thousand systems without one, and never fried a thing.

#

Can never be too safe though, especially for a beginner

mortal void
#

someone pick a cpu for this build

little osprey
#

My idiot brother however did fry multiple boards while wearing one. so there's that...

#

Lolol

hollow radish
#

Should the power supply method be sufficient?

little osprey
#

Probably

#

Funny thing. He's the one that actually went to school for computers. I just learned from 2 MIT guys.

stoic island
#

Power supply method..?

#

Paperclip method..?

little osprey
#

Touching the psu to discharge static is what I think he means

stoic island
#

Oh

little osprey
#

Also, don't lay anythign ON the anti-static bags. the outside IS conductive.

stoic island
#

Lol

hollow radish
#

Correct

little osprey
#

Just touch something metal, to make sure you're discharged, and you should be fine.

stoic island
#

Case is usually also good

little osprey
#

@little osprey I didn't know that

#

I always touch the light switch in the room.

#

About the bags?

#

Yes

#

Yeah, the outside is conductive so the electricity discharges and stays on the outside, and protects what is inside.

#

Oops

#

So many people when building pull out the MB and lay it right on the bag. I'm like, NooooOooooOoo

#

Yeah I did that haha

#

(that's how my brother fried a few boards, and himself)

#

he powered them up, still on the bag

hollow radish
#

I tried future proofing so I invested a little extra wherever I could with industry discounts and Newegg sales and everything and still spent about 1500 so I don’t want to ruin anything naturally

little osprey
#

@hollow radish yeah I understand

hollow radish
#

Did it just ground to the bag?

little osprey
#

What specs did you gett

#

Yup, shorted out

#

@little osprey if I didn't start the mobo on the bag it'll be ok then right?

stoic island
#

Yes

little osprey
#

Ok bcus I just sat it down on it for a min or two

#

Still a higher risk of a static discharge, but otherwise not an issue.

stoic island
#

As long as it's not powered on its fine

#

Yea

little osprey
#

I wonder how long it takes for gigabyte rma's to come back

stoic island
#

Who knows

little osprey
#

I wish I did lol

#

Right now? not a clue

#

Yea

#

I was shocked how fast they got the fans to me about a month ago though.

#

@little osprey ok good

#

Of course, I ended up returning the 1650 for a 1660s, so now I have fans I don't need ... but who cares!

#

Hopefully they'll be fast

#

@little osprey I returned a psu for repair

#

Or replacement

stoic island
#

Gigabyte PSU?

little osprey
#

Yes

#

I've never actually seen one.

#

I mean, in person.

#

It's called a b700h

stoic island
#

Interesting

little osprey
#

Sort of like Gigabyte RAM. Never seen in the wild.

#

I'm sure it's a good psu normally, but when I got it it made this very stupid annoying whining noise

#

@little osprey yeah

#

Probably a bad cap

stoic island
#

Coil whine maybe

little osprey
#

Capacitor whine makes my skin crawl.

#

Or coil

#

Actually whine is probably the coil. Bad caps tend to shriek.

hollow radish
#

It’s a gigabyte aorus x570 pro WiFi board (ATX), ryzen 7 3800x, 2x16 3600 G skill ripjaws, gigabyte GeForce 2070 super (because lord knows I’ll want to game on this), Bequiet! Straight power 11 850w 80 plus gold PSU, 500gb Sandisk 3D ssd (2.5), and a 1tb western digital black m.2 with the EK heatsink, in the Fractal design meshify c case(tempered glass of course)

stoic island
#

Bit over the place

little osprey
#

I surrender

stoic island
#

Interesting SSD

little osprey
#

You should toss all that into pcpp so you don't have to type it ... wait, rookie, nvm

#

Lol

stoic island
#

And SSD with heatsink..?

#

Sn750?

little osprey
#

Sandusky 3d bwha?

stoic island
#

I've never heard of Sandusky

little osprey
#

Nor have I

stoic island
#

Never seen it in the SSD master sheet either

hollow radish
#

I plan on using the stock AMD fan and the two 120 case fans until I find a deal on an AIO and some extra 140mm fans

stoic island
#

AIOs aren't always the end all best cooling

little osprey
#

Me neither

stoic island
#

Air can be great

little osprey
#

Air is def less maintenance

stoic island
#

A great aircooler can beat a bad aio

little osprey
#

I'm 1.2GHz OC'd on air right now and it's about 38C right now

#

3.4 up to 4.6

stoic island
#

I gotta repaste with x method

#

Then my temps will be good

#

I barely pur paste on lol

little osprey
#

I've also got a mahusive Zalman CNPS9900DF ... although it's missing a fan.

hollow radish
#

Sorry if I’m being an ass haha I’m new to discord

little osprey
#

The psu sounded a bit like this, but the weired this is the frequency of the whine matched up with what I was doing in a game 🤷‍♂️

Coil Whine caused by Power Supply

Audio sample of my graphics card, and it's incredibly loud noise, when under load. Note, this is an RMA replaced card. The first card I bought, brand new, had the exact same problem. This has been uploaded to present the noise the card seemingly emits.

Update: The culprit was...

▶ Play video
#

I almost clicked that

stoic island
#

Lol

little osprey
#

@little osprey terrible noise

stoic island
#

Ears saved

little osprey
#

Caught myself just in time, lol

#

Is X meathod better than pea meathod?

stoic island
#

Yea

little osprey
#

Ok

stoic island
#

X method best method behind actually spreading it manually

little osprey
#

my method probably would make some people scream

hollow radish
#

@stoic island yes it’s the sn750, somehow I get a huge discount on western digital products for working at a ski resort lol

little osprey
#

Spread, spin, clamp

stoic island
#

Lol

little osprey
#

I use noctua thermal grease it's worked best for me

stoic island
#

I got nt h2 it works

#

Noctua paste is very good but not the best paste

little osprey
#

I need to order new grease. My stuff is probably trash now that I think of it

stoic island
#

As in it beats mx4 in temp testing but not like cryonaut

hollow radish
#

Does the different paste really make a difference by the way?

stoic island
#

Or the kinpin stuff

little osprey
#

@hollow radish yes

#

Paste can def make a difference

stoic island
#

They make a difference, small, but they do

#

It's not gonna bring your CPU from 90c to 70c, but the difference between bad and great paste can be a good few degrees

little osprey
#

I'ma check which model I have

#

I wonder how that verge system ran heatwise...

stoic island
#

Lol

little osprey
#

It's NT H1

hollow radish
#

Well I have time before I build, should I order some different thermal paste than AMD’s preapplied stuff?

stoic island
#

Yea I have ht h2

little osprey
#

I mean, before someone else rebuilt the whole thing.

stoic island
#

Only slight issue with AMD preapplied is that people find it sticky and hard to remove after a while

#

Temps wise eh you don't really need to bother with new paste

little osprey
#

It doesn't age the best

hollow radish
#

I still haven’t seen the verge build video but I watched a ton of reactions on it and I at least knew better than whoever it was that was building

stoic island
#

Like if you're bothering with new paste might as well new cooler

#

But yea it's decent enough

little osprey
#

It's a really good what NOT to do video

stoic island
#

Lol

little osprey
#

Haha that's an old meme

stoic island
#

Only thing they got right is the table

#

:p

little osprey
#

I saw it for the first time today, how I'd never seen it before I don't know

#

Lyle's reaction was the best

stoic island
#

Lol

hollow radish
#

Haha yeah, “pee size” amount.... times 6... all in a circle lol

little osprey
#

I guess I've been building systems since before YT so I never really looked.

stoic island
#

I be gone now

little osprey
#

Nawwwww

#

And that was on top of the preapplied

hollow radish
#

Omg I didn’t even notice that, I’ll have to go watch the whole thing tomorrow

little osprey
#

Could have greased a tanks tracks with all of that

hollow radish
#

Well thanks for all the input everyone, I appreciate it!

little osprey
#

@hollow radish I'd suggest watching a yt video while you build your pc

#

Like the Anthony build guide

hollow radish
little osprey
#

Yes, exactly

#

-runs-

#

Don't forget your tweezers and livestrong bracelet

#

facedesks ... repeatedly

hollow radish
little osprey
#

And your swiss army knife with HOPEFULLY a phillips

hollow radish
#

Where’s my buildmat?

little osprey
#

Yes very critical component @little osprey

hollow radish
#

Ball peen or carpenters?

little osprey
#

Oh, and toss everything over your shoulder after you've ripped open all the nice boxes. While a knife was right there.

#

15lb sledge, go big or go home.

hollow radish
#

Am I good at discord now?

little osprey
#

Really have to hammer that I/o brace in there

#

Perfect

#

I think imma do what naed did

hollow radish
#

Haha great

little osprey
#

I'm🥱

hollow radish
#

Well thanks for the help guys! Get some sleep wherever you are haha

little osprey
#

I've only been awake 12 hours, can't sleep yet

hollow radish
#

Well sometime this week at least

little osprey
#

Alright cyall

#

I need to investigate that pc build sim

mortal void
#

its fun

vestal sonnet
#

weren’t u gonna go to sleep like an hour ago

mortal void
#

I will soon

#

had to finish a build

vestal sonnet
#

mm yes a need

mortal void
#

this is what I just finished

little osprey
#

I've seen that case before. Would live to built something into it

mortal void
#

its really cool

#

mini-itx

#

supposed to be for portablility

#

like those cases that have the pull out handle

jagged ember
#

Always wondered how portable PC rigs worked irl

#

Like what use case justifies it?

little osprey
#

My fiance and I are buying a semi to do long haul trucking. probably going to build two systems like that to take in the truck.

cedar night
#

does anyone know any good mobo’s that support ryzen 3600? looking for like around $120 maybe a little over

#

asus prime just sold out on newegg

little leaf
#

@cedar night aorus elite

#

Should be in stock

cedar night
#

could you link it?

#

is this it?

#

wait nvm found the elite

little leaf
#

Nvm they not in stock

cedar night
#

?

#

is this not it

#

@little leaf

little leaf
#

No back order

#

ships in 2 weeks

cedar night
#

whats that mean?

little leaf
#

this one is in stock though

little osprey
#

asewwwws

cedar night
#

is it up to date with the bios and everything?

little leaf
#

Should be

cedar night
#

alright thanks

little osprey
#

Just pray you never need to rma it

little leaf
#

Its not really a problem anymore unless you get a refurbished one

#

new boards that are new should have the newest bios

little osprey
#

The stuff I had to rma was all new.

cedar night
#

whats rma

little leaf
#

You don’t know how long its been shelved though

#

return manufacture Something

cedar night
#

oh

#

im scared i order everything and i forget something lol

little osprey
#

The literal months that it took to get anything back, and it was still broken ... that was the issue.

cedar night
#

i think i have everything ready to place my order

#

im scared to tho

little leaf
#

Don’t be

little osprey
#

authorization

little leaf
#

My first pc build was only 2 months ago and I was a noob now I help everyone I know with pcs

#

Now I know a decent amount about pcs

cedar night
#

alright so i gave hard drive, ssd, mobo, gpu, ram, and cpu in my cart. already have the power supply and case

#

am i good?

gilded kelp
#

Should i buy a new graphics card now or wait for the 3000 series

little leaf
#

Seems like it

#

Do you have case fans?

little osprey
#

Wait if you can

little leaf
#

@gilded kelp wait if you can

cedar night
#

case comes with 3

little leaf
#

then you should be fine which case?

cedar night
#

corsair icue

little leaf
#

It might look weird though

gilded kelp
#

Is there an estimated date or month for the 3000?

little osprey
#

I'm ordering the iCue 220T, once it's in stock

little leaf
#

since you have to tak one of the front fans and move it to the front

cedar night
little osprey
#

Probably Oct/Sept

cedar night
#

yes im aware of that i was thinking of ordering another fan to put in the back

little leaf
#

@cedar night ye

little osprey
#

SL120 if you want it to match

little leaf
#

I would get another corsair one

cedar night
#

so like how would the fan splitter work?

gilded kelp
#

I waiting for that case to be in stock also

cedar night
#

i cant have it go from back and front right?

little leaf
#

Don’t the corsair case come with controller for icue/

little osprey
#

There's also a 3 packs of SL120s for around 70, comes with the Node too

cedar night
#

mine didnt

#

how would a fan splitter work in that case

#

if i had 3 in the front and one in the back

gilded kelp
#

The case went in stock on corsairs website for like 2 hours yesterday and sold out again @little osprey

little leaf
#

just connect them all to the splitter then plug it in

little osprey
#

Of course I missed it, lol

cedar night
#

yeah but like wouldnt it look weird? since it needs to go from the back too

gilded kelp
#

Same saw the email noti but it was too late

little osprey
#

The wires are all hidden in the back

cedar night
#

would it work connecting one from the back and one from the front into a splitter?

little leaf
#

@cedar night They should’ve come with a fan hub installed I think

cedar night
#

could i take a picture of it and you tell me what that is

little osprey
#

Pretty sure that case is supposed to have a fan hub.

cedar night
#

not entirely sure what that is

little osprey
#

splitter on steroids

cedar night
#

not sure where it is

little osprey
#

handles 6 fans iirc

little leaf
#

can you take a picture for me?

cedar night
#

yez

#

yes

little leaf
#

let me look at it?

little osprey
#

It's in the back of the case.

little leaf
#

Should be near the mobo cut out

cedar night
little leaf
#

Yep it right there

cedar night
#

hm?

little leaf
cedar night
#

ahh

#

so all the fans just plug into that?

little leaf
#

Yep

cedar night
#

sounds easy enough

#

wow dont even need to buy splitters

#

thats a relief

little leaf
#

yep

#

just buy one more of the same rgb fans so you can match

little osprey
#

Ugg, why does it insist on taking me to the airflow version.

little leaf
#

idk both look nice

little osprey
#

SL120 is the fan

#

I don't like the grill effect on the airflow

cedar night
#

sp120

#

sp120 rgb pro

#

is the fan

little osprey
#

yup, you're right. not sure where I got the L from. Been looking at too many systems

cedar night
#

haha no worries

#

but one of those costs like $50

little osprey
cedar night
#

weird because a three pack is $70 while a single is $50

little osprey
#

That comes with 3 fans and the lighting node.

cedar night
#

yeah i saw that but i was just looking for one. i dont really need 3

little osprey
#

I've already got mine here for when the case finally arrives.

cedar night
#

i guess i can put 2 at the too

#

top

little osprey
#

The case can hold 6, so I figured, why not.

cedar night
#

guess youre right

#

ahh im so nervous

little osprey
#

3 in front pulling in, top and rear pushing out.

cedar night
#

im about to order the rest of my parts

little leaf
#

Thoughts for a build for upgrading

little osprey
#

I'd really recommend staying away from ASUS, or praying you never have to deal with CS.

gilded kelp
#

If the est wattage is 434 for my build is a 550w power supply good?

little leaf
#

Should be but might want more head room

little osprey
#

I'd go 650w. as they age they lose peak power.

#

plus you don't have to worry about replacing the PSU if you change something around in the future

gilded kelp
#

What screwdriver will I need to build my pc?

little osprey
#

Phillips

#

Or swiss army knife with hopefully a phillips.

gilded kelp
#

Is there a certain size I should have ready to use?

little osprey
#

Pretty standard size

leaden storm
#

Hey guys, is an 80+ Gold 600w psu enough for an rtx 2070 super and i7-9700k?

little osprey
#

Price range?

leaden storm
#

well the thing is

#

I didn’t think about the psu till the last minute

tepid basalt
#

no

#

straight up no

#

get a 700w at least

leaden storm
#

oh

#

ok lol

@untold anchor welp, I find it hard to believe that anything in your build needs an upgrade. The only thing I can find as being an issue is your ram speed. You need to enable xmp in bios

Stevey#3309 has been warned

#

you're only getting 2133mhz out of that system when you could be getting a lot more

untold anchor
#

only reason i had it disabled was COD:MW was having a cow for some reason

crimson fox
#

Hmmm gotcha

untold anchor
#

ended up refunding it, trouble shooted absolutely everything even when as far as a fresh install and it still wouldn't run

crimson fox
#

Ope

untold anchor
#

I was thinking a MB upgrade eventually but even to replace this board it's another $500-$1000

crimson fox
#

Yea that's fair. If you need a more in depth analysis of your issues I would talk to @warm nova I'm not knowledgeable to assess your situation tbh. I thought you were going to inquire about upgrading a build with parts from two or three years ago 😬😂

untold anchor
#

That and aesthetic and cooling upgrades....I'll post two more pics of my 'build' its messy, dusty and frankly it looks like poop.

crimson fox
#

Maybe you just need a cooling upgrade and some custom cables? Idk tbh

untold anchor
#

yeah i havent jumped into the liquid cooling end of things yet, everything is air cooled

crimson fox
#

Gotcha. I personally have a 3900X and 2080 Super all air cooled and over clocked. Works great and with good temps too. Provided, I have insane airflow through my case but yea

untold anchor
#

Yeah i think the 10940x is a notoriously 'hot' chip if it isn't cooled correctly :/ i mean there shouldn't be anything i'd need to OC for at the moment but im all about future proofin

crimson fox
#

Agreed

untold anchor

I've got insane air flow too, No panels 😂

crimson fox

Oh my 😂

#

7 case fans in a compact atx build does me some good

I really want to do something aesthetically pleasing with mine, i've almost thought about doing an open air build on brushed steel or something

crimson fox

That would be really cool

#

hint hint wink wink

#

lol

#

but yea, aesthetics are really really rewarding with these expensive parts

untold anchor
#

Yeah...i've got the expensive parts thing going. Most i've ever spent on a pc upgrade.

OH THATS RIGHT! I never told y'all how I even got them in the first place

3 things happened unfortunately

In my brothers infinite wisdom he forgot a motherboard and my parents are trying to get me to return the parts

The last unfortunate thing is that if I do return them, I won't get money back, only a gift card balance

#

Don't return them then!

#

And just order a motherboard

#

I don't want to return them

But that's up to my bank, my parents reported it to the bank as fraud so now we're just waiting on word from the bank to see if the deemed it fraud or not.

One more week though and then it's past the return date

TL;DR of the stuff said in generat chat:

  • Try to find a cheaper motherboard
  • Look for 3600MHz, cl16 ram
  • Add the SSD
  • Try for something other than nvidia founder's edition GPU
  • Different case--that one runs very hot
  • Don't pay that much for windows
#

I'd recommend a b550 or x570 motherboard. b450 is gonna be rough for that powerful of a CPU

Is this a good pc for the price?

I choose not to get a gpu because I was trying to go for the least money I can spend

And the 3400G has a good enough igpu

And I would need to spend maybe at last 100€ to get a gpu that could compete

brave oracle
#

idc about wifi, but it would be great

little osprey
#

@proven plank 3400g is indeed solid

crude otter
#

@proven plank I dont see any major issues, but I've never dealt with v.color. maybe some ram with higher speeds and 2x 4gb instead of 1 stick

proven plank
#

I've seen some reviews and there are high ratings so I think that for the money those sticks are good nu I will try to find anything of better quality and I will try to remain with the budget of 350€

crude otter

It seems pretty solid for the price, just never dealt with that manufacturer, so I cant really give an honest opinion on them

Is it good enough? And yes, I can maybe try and help

brave oracle
#

okay

crude otter
#

Its 1160 for that

#

Could probably make a few adjustments to get it down to 1100 like you asked

proven plank
#

Oh wow

#

I don't think I can do better 😂

#

It's really good as it is

deep skiff
#

probably could cut it down a little with a b550 board

brave oracle
#

thx

fast dust
#

Or cut it down by getting an SSD + HDD

proven plank
#

I would maybe change the Psu and get it to like maybe 550 or 600

crude otter
#

I was looking at those, but I found it only took 20 -25 off, and it leaves room for power for additions later on

fast dust
#

@cyan glacier try your best to get the motherboard cable tucked behind the case more. It’s laying on your GPU which can get hot

proven plank
#

Oh ok then it's ok to have it

crude otter
#

@fast dust yeah could do a standard hdd, that would cut it down.

fast dust
#

No SSD + HDD. No way your gonna put ur OS on an HDD for a budget like that

proven plank
#

lol

#

Yeah, it's better to have the system stored on the faster storage unit

fast dust
#

60-120gb SSD for OS and 2Tb HDD for games. Total cost for that is less than a 1tb SSD and still plenty fast

crude otter
#

@deep skiff are the b550s good with the new ryzen cpus without having to adjust the bios? I know that's the appeal of the x570s for most people

fast dust
#

B550 was built for 3rd gen Ryzen

#

And to cut on cost even more you could get a b450 which will still work amazing

#

Even a B450 D3SH will work on this build. It’s not recommended as much as something like a B450 tomahawk but it’ll cut the cost down substantially

crude otter
#

B550 with wifi looks like same price pretty much as x570, so b450 may be way to go if wanting to cut it down some

fast dust
#

Yeah a B450 with built in WiFi or B450 with a separate PCIe WiFi adapter would be good

crude otter
brave oracle
#

thx

crude otter
#

Under 1100

brave oracle
#

lol

#

ya somebody already answered but it supports 3000 out of the box, it’s like b450 and x470, one just has more features

@brave oracle a400 is one of the worst SSDs

#

ahhh

#

lol

#

new

#

nvme as boot drive

#

Western digital

#

500 gb

cursive wharf
#

That's SATA, just M2 format

#

cya............

#

bye

brave oracle
#

thx for help

cursive wharf
#

but still better choice. MP34 is currently the best in price to perf

#

Tossing together a budget build to put together until my fiancé gets the charity build together. Looking at Micro-atx or itx, but I want to compare the boards that for whatever reason aren't shown on the Newegg site. blaaargh 😦

#

Anyone know anything about Seagate ironwolf pros and how they compare to the baracudas?

potent prairie
#

Ironwolf pro are NAS drives, meant for prolonged read/writes and build to withstand vibration with minimized ill effects

#

So an ironwolf pro compares to a barracuda of the same speed and size by durability and nas features pretty much

#

Looking at 4tb drives for gaming

potent prairie
#

Game drives?

#

I'd do what I did... as many 2 tb Firecuda pros as you need. They're SSHDs

#

I got four and like them

mental seal
#

can someone tell me which one is better. AMD B550 AORUS Master motherboard or AMD X570 Phantom Gaming X motherboard

potent prairie
#

X570 is a better chipset

sand falcon
#

I'd stay clear of sshd's. They aren't really worth the extra cost with software solutions available

tall condor
#

^

#

yep

#

Just get a solid state

potent prairie
#

For game storage?

tall condor
#

yeah

potent prairie
#

Not nessissary

#

Hdd is fine for that unless you have spare budget

sand falcon
#

You can do a DIY sshd with your boot ssd and a hdd

little osprey
#

I have 2 sshds. total waste of money

potent prairie
#

fair enough

sand falcon
#

That and an ssd's life span is proportional to it's size and how much data is written. SSHD's are typically around 8GB, and are rewritten all the time during use

lyric thistle
#

Bits per cell

#

Also big factor in flash endurance

sand falcon
#

This true

#

No clue what firecuda uses

little osprey
#

I need help from a builder

potent prairie
#

it uses 8 GB MLC

little osprey
#

Pls dm me. Need to do video call to put pc together

#

Only thing is hard drive left

spiral zealot
#

i know toshiba used to use only SLC/MLC nand in their SSHD's but no idea what the firecuda uses, seagate doesn't seem to offer that info easily

lyric thistle
#

MLC is good

little osprey
#

The SSHDs that I have are the FireCudas

potent prairie
#

i know toshiba used to use only SLC/MLC nand in their SSHD's but no idea what the firecuda uses, seagate doesn't seem to offer that info easily
@spiral zealot it uses 8 GB MLC

spiral zealot
#

aha yeah, i just found a press release from 2016 that said that

#

on the 5th gen firecuda's

lyric thistle
#

Imagine the endurance if SSDs used 0 bit per cell NAND

potent prairie
#

Ikr, someone should get on that

sand falcon
#

ummmmmmm

#

I actually have a working prototype of that

#

It will never lose data you write to it

potent prairie
#

Ooo, count me in. Link me to your kickstarter

sand falcon
#

Sure thing. We have a promotional video, let me find it....

#

@potent prairie There ya go

potent prairie
#

nice lol

hushed pollen
#

is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 a good rgb air cooler?

#

Or are there better options I should consider?

#

Can't get an AIO due to 120mm just being bad, and my other option would be to put a 240mm where my current intake is.

woven wedge
#

I plan to upgrade my cooler soon too so I’m looking around

severe bloom
little osprey
#

Can't say that I have either

#

OK, budget proc for a B550 and a 1660S, suggestions?

hushed pollen
#

getting a 1660 super, id honestly go for a b450; but i understand the need to future proof

#

so uh, lemme think here
about $900?

little osprey
#

I already have the super

cursive wharf
#

Wont say much about which b550 to go for until lots of them are listed on the nice google spreadsheet of AM4 mobos

hushed pollen
#

True

#

I mean there's many B450s that will have Ryzen 4000 capability

#

I think MSI accidentally revealed it in an email once, it was mainly BIOS storage that was the limiting factor

#

I wanna say the email said like 32MB, but I'm not 100% on that since it was a reddit post I saw a month or so ago

little osprey
#

Giga leaked an x590 thing the other day

#

But yeah, I'm just putting a temp build together while my Fiance does her thing to get that absurd Xtreme build together.

#

That's getting a 3900x, but not sure what I want to go with for the b550

I think MSI accidentally revealed it in an email once, it was mainly BIOS storage that was the limiting factor
@hushed pollen it's not from MSI, but AMD said so themselves
already proven to be bs

hushed pollen
#

Yeah it's been a bit since I saw it

#

and RIP

#

but like there was a support email of some sort where a company, not AMD, informed a customer of information regarding 4000 support

#

What’s the best 360 mm aio? Under 150, looking at cooler master b360

spiral flax
#

is msi g241 optix good?

potent prairie
#

Can someone recommend a laptop?
Looking for a 2070 or above, i7 or i9 (or ryzen eqv), ips 144hz+ screen, good thermals, and a somewhat slim design. Needs to be a brand with good service, I'm done with brands like Lenovo

#

I was loving the look of the scar 15 from ROG but the LED panel doesn't make it a great option. I have an op desktop but need something portable for college and gaming with friends

mortal void
#

Razer Blade 15 or Razer Blade 15 Advanced comes to mind @potent prairie

potent prairie
#

Was considering them, but don't they have poor thermal performance

mortal void
#

I'm the wrong dude to ask lol. I was just throwing something out there

#

really easiest option is to do some serious research or wait for someone better qualified to answer

#

and I mean WAY BETTER

potent prairie
#

Fair enough, thx for the input :)

mortal void
#

I try to help where I can

#

best bet is to Ping one of the Techies I'd imagine

plucky spruce
#

Well there is the Lenovo legion y540

#

It’s not pricey but specs are the things you need

#

But the omen 15 is also very good

potent prairie
#

I already have a y740 and will likely be selling it because of Lenovo's abysmal service
May look at the omen tho

stoic island
#

I forgot the exact name but rog g15

#

It had like a 10750h or smth with 2070

#

Not sure on thermals but specs are good
