Doesn't matter go ahead
Thx
I’m trying to figure how what caused my system to just crash
I’m so confused
One minute I’m playing a game the next
I'll check it out
@little leaf looks pretty could but you could buy a 1600/1600af for the price of that 3100
You could still benefit from the 2 more cores and 4 more threads
Especially in the future
You can go with the 3100 just personally I'd go with 1600 for the higher c&t
Im only keeping this build for like 4months
someone asked for a rating of his build, in case you guys could have a look:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/lbpfan950/saved/LQyLP6
@copper mason that hurts for me too look at it
Everything hurts
To look at
Oh god
that hurts for me too look at it
@little leaf hahahah
Shat is their budget?
I've no clue, just asking for someone else
don't know them either lol they just posted it on another group
Is this good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dxNB3t
Would change ram
Why
all good
though I'd be fine with a 2666 kit then oc it to 3200
then I'll get a nitro+ rx 5700xt SE edition
because it's more beautiful than the pulse version
and honestly, 3200 vs 3600 difference in performance is really minimal
not worth the extra imo
@tepid basalt how bout my build?
link?
yeah looks good
Aight
Let me know what you think
ITX build?
Yeah, don't really need anything more than what it has, so -shrug-
well I think you'll appreciate the extra space from bigger board
And when things finally get together for the Xtreme build, this board will go to my mom in a nice itty bitty case.
I don't
It's a temp buildl
The case is going to go on to the xtreme
what part is considered temp in this list?
I just don't like the idea of using a 3 fan on an itx board in an ATX case
out of that, I have no problem with the rest of your build
Well it's what I have, so get over it
you may have seen this but to be sure
hmm still
Tight fit, but it's not the first time I've customized.
I've built somewhere over 1,000 systems. I'm not worried about the fit.
It is going to be a tight squeeze though
But everything extra is getting pulled out of the case, so it'll be frame only.
I just don't like the sound of electronics being squeezed into tight space
It's got room. just not much. plus 6 case fans
like installing an ATX board into an ATX case with basement already feels kinda tight
I'm running an Ultra Tower right now and hate the thing.
Too big. And I can't move it with the medical stuff I'm dealing with now.
ah I see
I mean it's got 4 5.25 bays that aren't being used. and 8 2.5 where only two are being used. and the next build won't use any.
Lol
Samsung scroll nice!
@cold iron (from your post in bills pics) how did you get the graphics card in sync? I have a similar one and only one program seems to change the rgb for it
That, is a long list. And Discord made it iiitty bitty

Hi, looking at motherboards for amd 3900, torn between aorus and asus at the moment. Any suggestions please?
Gigabyte typically doesn't have reliable VRMs on Ryzen motherboards. I'd just go with ASUS
thanks @analog hearth the rig will ultimately be used for game audio music integration and casual gaming.
yeah you'll want the beefier VRMs when gaming so they don't die out when your CPU reaches those higher clocks
plz help
Try rewording it, with less words
also try to not paste the same thing twice haha
HUANANZHI X99-TF ATX Standard Desktop Motherboard need to know what type of psu to use
Only depends on power draw of components
I haven't heard of that brand but it says it supports either DDR3 or DDR4?
I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a CPU that can use both, DDR3 and/or DDR4
but it requires a PSU with a 24-pin, to answer your question
thx
lol you're welcome
@void raft what res is that?
Any tips on detail dusting a build
can someone help with 800$ pc build for streaming/gaming or 1k icluding monitor 144hz ?
nah bro like above 23.6
nah not a big fan of mini itx
are you going to upgrade to zen 3? (4000 series ryzen)
bro i dont know, anything good for gaming and streaming HAHA
like spend more money
since it is in the range of 1k icluding monitor yes
Reason: Duplicated text
why cant i send pcpartpicker link ?
Try again
oh okay thanks
@modern shadow
i have built this one but dont realy know if its good or not
uhh the monitor cost over 200
it just doent showe
so
its actually around 1300
@sharp bear
realy ? l
yea
bruh
so
what would you recommend ?
oh okay
not at all
k
then
well
the choice is]
eith spend more on a pre-flashed
mobo
or buy a cheaper one
but you'll have to flash it yourself
is that difficult ?
you'll need to download something to a usb drive
and plug it in
wait
nvm
you cont
cant
lol
are you near a micro center?
yes
which one
i actually live in germany
oh sorry bro
so 1000 euro?
I legit made my pc like 4 months ago and today I bought a used gtx1080ti and and prob gonna get a 144hz monitor+new psu +cpu cooler
Reee
@sharp bear budget?
gaming and streaming
great
@modern shadow
thanks bro thats perfect i would say, but is it good like very good for streaming and gaming at the same time ?
in like september
so then the older graphics cards prices will drop ?
Yes but its probably in September its gonna be out before christmans though
Can someone make me a mini itx build for around 900
So far I'm thinking ryzen 3600 + 1660 super on b550
I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit a 2060 in the budget
@thick gorge you couldif you get a b450 instead
Yeah but I want to make sure I can upgrade down the line without switching everything out
has pcie gen4 for storage and the 16x
Ahh yeah @tall condor r9-3950x coolermaster 360mm silver edition, as rock x570 pro (not my first choice just ended up with it) 32gb Corsair vengeance 3200 MHz (next upgrade) and a 2070 super that’s going to a friend I’m doing custom loop and I have a msi trio 2080 ti chillin in a box rn
hey , when i first boot my computer can i directly plug my montior to my GPU ? and if yes can i use a tv as a monitor ?
Should work in the gpu. Using a tv the resolution may not show up correct the first time until drivers are installed
yeah ok thx
Np when I hooked my pc to a tv the last time I hade to adjust the corners because they were off. Should be to to bad if at all.
so update it worked fine , i didnt went further than the bios but they were not probleme with using a tv and the gpu for booting thx
but i hear a little noise comming from the gpu
and it stops when i slighly lift the gpu
do you know where it could come from ?
Might be the fans
Or just a vibration caused by the fans as it's not secured properly
@little osprey that’s a laptop right? Which one is it? I have a laptop with those same exact specs it’s the Acer Aspire E5-576-392H.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bknJ9G thoughts if I switch out the 3100 to a 3200g?
why?
To save a few bucks?
I mean performance will suffer but if you want you can go for it
And why have such a high end build with a cheap CPU+GPU?
Is this gonna be upgraded in the near future?
@little leaf
okay, so I have a question for anyone who might know. I'm attempting to upgrade my GPU to something able to run games such as (cringe) Fortnite at medium graphics with 60 fps at least. the current build is an Intel core i5-3350p CPU, AMD Radeon HD 7500 series GPU, Dell 0NW73C MOBO, 8 GB RAM, 460w PSU. any help is very much appreciated. 🙂
What make and model is the 460w PSU? @left wolf
it's a Dell
Does it have a 6 pin PCIe Connector?
the PC is i believe an older Dell XPS model
So yeah i mean if you wanna save a few bucks go for it since it's gonna be upgraded soon
But does the PSU have a 6 pin power connector?
i'm not sure how to figure that out
okay uno momento
Could also look like this
It seems to have one that looks like the previous one, but idk what the heck it goes to considering the wires were poorly managed...
So I am helping a friend build a cheap gaming pc the plan is to take an old core 2 duo dell optiplex and just put an old gpu inside I was wondering if a gtx n550 ti would be a good combo with the core 2 duo
180 USD
@radiant thistle yeah it'd work fine. Other options would be GTX 650, HD 7770, R7 260x, etc
@left wolf easy get an RX 570
it'd save you a little money and you'd be able to play on the highest settings
Alright cool, I appreciate it a lot @fast dust
@fast dust thanks
Er wait @left wolf actually see if you can find a used RX 470
Er i mean just find something along those lines that only requires a 6 pin PCIe connector and not an 8 pin
Yep no problem. I just recently worked with that exact card and it's good. Have fun with your new card. RX 570s are great budget cards
👍😄
@little osprey about the noise from the gpu it is bolted to the case how can i make it more secured ?
Not sure, it was just a thought@karmic arch
You said that that you could lift it slightly right? Maybe a lot of Zipties?
@fast dust and yes it's a laptop, hp 17-by0053od that I upgraded ram and storage in
Sweet. I still need to throw this 60gb SSD in mine and I upgraded RAM too
I took out 16gb of optane memory and threw in a 1tb 970 Evo plus, took out the 1tb hhd and threw in a 2tb sshd, took out the 4 gb ram and threw in 2x8 2133 Corsair vengence ram
Wait 60gb ssd?
That's tiny
i would say windows 10, drivers, updates, and all programs that start themselves on boot should fit on a 60gb ssd
everything on my pc minus my games adds up to 43gb
can somebody build me a good 1000 USD build
Mostly for gaming
and some light homework
This should do
For a bit more you might be able to go 2060 S and/or a 570 motherboard
k
You could also go full SSD
what about fans for the case?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PNN7jp with a full ssd, and a 2060 GPU
Though 2060 is great if your streaming and using rtx, if not 1660 will do
is rx 5600xt good?
I made a backup list in case the first one ended up bad. How is it? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rgPHgJ
k
Don't get the one sal reccomended no offence but you can do much better with a 1k budget
dam
hey what’s the difference between the evga supernova g3 and evga supernova g5?
Im building my first pc and with the help of a friend drafted up a build on pc part picker and was going to ask for any comments on it but for whatever reason it wont let me post it in this channel?
You have to be a high enough level in order to post links and media
You can DM me the link, and I'll post it in here for you if you want @icy plaza
@latent storm voltage regulation, transient response, noise, protections
i have no idea what any of that means
The cooler is probably the part i am most iffy on but its the same fans that are in the case so i thought it might be nice to match them
Any other uses for the build?
i want to be able to play newer titles like doom eternal, cyberpunk (when it comes out), modern warfare, valorant
@latent storm long story short, G3 is on average better
And how much money are you willing to spend?
Are you going to need peripherals? (Mouse and keyboard, monitor, etc..)
@icy plaza Tomahawk is overpriced; tis a $75 - $85 board quality wise, RAM is meh, PSU has coil whine issues
As well as the cooler which you already know about. Those are the issues I see
@cursive wharf wanna help me with a temp build?
@little leaf soon, setting up PC. Also previous list you posted was TUF Plus and not Pro
oh did i
Ye
Oops
@cursive wharf is there a good, non-overpriced motherboard you could recommend me without going much higher than the price range?
most recent pcpartpicker above and $600
Heya; I’m currently building my first PC; and i wanted to consult with some people as I piece it together. So far I have:
Ryzen 5 3600
ASUS Prime B450M-A
Corsair Vengeance 16GB
GIGABYTE Radeon RX580
I still need to get a PSU, storage (I’m saving for an SSD), cooling, and some sort of casing. About what wattage should I go for with a PSU for this setup?
I’m at a standstill now until more part money comes in, but that’s what I have/need so far, not counting peripherals.
id go for a ryzen 3300x instead if you can find it for $120, and make a pcpartpicker link
my case is gonna be icue 220t case
im getting triple sp120 fans for other case fans
can anybody link me good and cheap sp120 fans
@icy plaza cheapest in stock one I could find was this
https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b450m-pro4/p/N82E16813157843?Item=N82E16813157843
Hey folks, can I send a pdf file of my parts or is it against the rules?
Any mods or Admins or anyone that can tell me if there is an unwritten rule I need to respect?
Look, I'm going to post it, if it's not allowed then just delete it
Build parts that will be updated with hopefully a 3080Ti and a ryzen 9 4950X
Have a nice look and a nice night
@proven plank ROG stuff is usually overpriced and not worth it- GPU wise is meh, RAM isnt 3600MT/s CL16 despite cost, SSDs are overpriced- normal for Samsung, P2 is overpriced, case is meh, spending a lot on PC but so little on a cheap gaming headset- get real headphones with a bit more money and it'll sound 4x better, if you're going AIO get an Arctic Freezer II or NZXT x63/73, gaming chairs are bad compared to office chairs, Razer keyboard is meh, mouse seems pricy, dont need two high refreshrate displays
I’m removing my wraith spire for a new cooler how do I do it safely
I know you heat it up
And twist it but is that it
I’m afraid I’m gonna pull the cpu out
ROG also apparently has bad service, but I still like their stuff
Me too there stuff is nice but expensive
I'm having a problem of when I try to boot up my screen freezes does anyone know what wrong
Does it do that every time?
Could be any number of issues
Yes but I'm reusing the drive from my old PC but I wipe the drive
So a fresh windows install
Yes
Okie. Troubleshoot what you can.
Try removing some ram and booting
Try using integrated graphics if you can to see if it's your GPU
Try using a different drive to boot, if you can (may be drive failure)
Ok thx
If you have a freind w/ a build, you can test components on it
I don't but I will try the other thing
This is what I recommended some years ago to a friend. Luckily he never got it, tis was the time of me not knowing what I was doing
Also CAD prices and RAM inflation
jesus
why are CAD prices so expensive
you can prob get that for like 1200-1250 around in USD
2600 at over 200?
I mean that was when the 2600 was 170 USD or so
still expensive
still a good build though
just seems expensive
well i guess thats how CAD works
@cursive wharf https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gcy2CL this was I wanted lol
like a year or 2 back
Not bad, but.... no ssd
@spiral flax nah, quite bad. Wasted money on CPU cooler, got a meh mobo when budget could've gotten better, SSD is terrible, PSU is sketch, case+fan cost is rather high, 80% sure 2tb HDD wasn't much more then 1tb HDDs at that time like rn
@little leaf tbh not too bad. Rn I'd choose yours over mine. Back then probs not
oh sorry I also wanted to buy windows 10 at full price too lol
oof
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ttv7jp so I edited my list
What y'all think, I already have case, memory(what's listed is just a place holder), and cpu from the incident that occurred (told a few people, forgot the names). I also believe I have the Mobo and the wifi USB.
Just looking for a better GPU then a 970 Radeon and a better PSU for the price than a thermaltake smart 500w
Actually, that's pretty much all I changed was GPU and PSU
About to hit the hay, so I'd prefer if you send it in dms(my dms are open no need to send friend request or anything)
Whats the budget @little osprey
Well considering all I need is a GPU and the PSU....
I would get a different mobo
I'd like to stay under $250 for GPU and under $100 for the PSU
I also don't know the exact mobo
Ram and case
Oh didnt see that
🤦♂️
True, probably why it's 1200w for $100
But it's better then thermaltake smart
And no I did not choose that psu^
Yeah originally I was going to get a 500w, but then I saw the raid and I though, "if this lasts I won't need to upgrade my psu which saves money in the long run"
I mean a 1200w could run like dual 2080 TIs and a ryzen 7
Which I don't need yet, but still
can anyone find me a decent looking and decent priced 650w+ 80 + gold fully modular PSU? in australia
1200 for $100? Have fun with your fireworks.
Lol
Almost as hot as intel 10thgen
dont cheap out on psu thats bad idea
wattage =/= quality
nor does rating
A good 550w can do stock 3950x+2080Ti, no need for 1200w
10 gen is cooler than 9th
10th generation is good
I9-9900k core processer
AORUS elite atx motherboard
G.skills 16gb ram two sticks
1tb ssd
2080 ti 11gb
Mid tower case
Corsair 850 w
The cooler is a cooler master master liquid ml240r rgb 66.7
I'm not much of a computer guy so I just want to know if this will be able to handle games on ultra or the highest graphics settings
Total price is about 2450
@proven plank ROG stuff is usually overpriced and not worth it- GPU wise is meh, RAM isnt 3600MT/s CL16 despite cost, SSDs are overpriced- normal for Samsung, P2 is overpriced, case is meh, spending a lot on PC but so little on a cheap gaming headset- get real headphones with a bit more money and it'll sound 4x better, if you're going AIO get an Arctic Freezer II or NZXT x63/73, gaming chairs are bad compared to office chairs, Razer keyboard is meh, mouse seems pricy, dont need two high refreshrate displays
OK, I'm not good with the pc world, do you know a pc with all the peripherals and that looks good with a budget of 6000€?
And I will likely instead of buying the 2080Ti and the 3950z I will buy the 3080Ti and the 4950x
That's a ton
@little osprey yeah I know but I want to spend a lot, I've been playing with 200€ laptop my whole life
Oof same
I had 2 laptops which were OK but now I want to destroy the games I play
Yeah
And in 2 years I will have gained enough money to buy a pc
I can't even run a star wars game without my computer having a seizure
I've gotten 2000 in a month
Yeah
I will be happy if I can get 800€ a month
I have to get a job in order to make money for the rest of the stuff
If it sounded like I had a job then no I just get a lot of money from people
Oh ok lol
Bread what specs are u gonna get
I sent them before him
Just an i9 processer, 2080 ti overclocked edition
Etc
I've been monitoring the price so I can buy when it's lowest
OK, I'm not good with the pc world, do you know a pc with all the peripherals and that looks good with a budget of 6000€?
Oh obviously if you have time to spare for me 😅
Your pc has frozen 2000 times a month with a 9900K?

Maybe you need to make your overclock a bit more stable lol
Should I get a b450 to save money or go with a b550 for a 3300x?
Depends. Do you want B550 features like pcle 4.0
I suggest looking at cheaper motherboards before expensive ones to see which fulfill your needs like pcie 4.0 multiple usb 3.0s...ect @cursive harbor
@upbeat kestrel I'm looking to future proof
Your money should be put into the bigger parts in that case
They have said Zen 3 will work but after that I don't wanna have to buy a new mobo
The b550 would only give you one more gen of CPU, once zen4 comes tou will need a new motherboard
Are you sure it won't support Zen 4 concidering b450 will support Zen 3?
Yo so I'm having problems with my PC not booting I'm thinking my ram sticks died I replaced my gpu and that wasn't it my motherboard seems to be working properly any suggestions
Zen4 will be in an entirely new socket, so no
Oh yeah right
Well guess ill go for b450
I don't need pcie 4 so...
@sand falcon maybe you could give me some input on wether I should go for a ryzen 3300x or 3100 too
I've been having trouble deciding
3300x
The 3300x cores are all right next to each other and the 3100 cores are separated into two chunks, so data takes a lot longer to travel between the cores on the 3100
3300X @cursive harbor
idk when you plan on getting that but like its gonna take a minute to find one at a decent price
hey so what upgrades should i make to this rig (it's my old one) and it also came with a gtx950 and no ssd
@sand falcon the shared ccx is a real selling point and the price difference really isn't that big
Yup
Yo can someone help me with psu sleeves? Got a question
How much do u guys think I could sell a 550w psu that I have used for 4-5months? In AUD
whats the rating??
What’s the make and model of it @muted dawn?
^^^
i am in the process of building a pc with ryzen 3700x, 2070 Super, 16gb of ram, corsair h100x, 1tb samsung 860 evo ssd, 500gb samsung 970 evo m.2 ssd, corsair carbide 275R case, asus tuf gaming X570-Plus wifi Motherboard, 850w 80+ gold PSU and 75hz monitor(gonna upgrade) and anne pro 2 and model o-. what r your thoughts on this @everyone
@next gulch the evos are overpriced
Take this from someone who had a 1tb Samsung 970 Evo Plus
Can I just take the evo instead? hehe
Lol
@next gulch if you want an SSD, both nvme and Sata, I've been hearing good things about the new Firecuda ssds
Granted those are expensive too
Still better than Samsung
@next gulch a SSD is more than enough for gaming, also 850w PSU is kinda lot for that build
You can watch the benchmarks for gaming
You are only saving like a 1 second
Unless you can find a good deal with a m.2
Like 1tb for 99.00
Anyone have a recommendation on the webcam with the best microphone? Audio is almost more important than video for me.
In a parallel universe, @everyone is enabled on this server and almost 100k people were pinged
Not twice, because my message would not exist in that parallel universe
Get something like a WD Blue or SN750
Or MP34....? Is that what it's called?
Team MP34
if you're asking if it supports ryzen 3000 out of the box
Okay
the answer is yes
Ok thank you
what price are you getting the 3600X for?
204.99 plus tax
yeah buy a 3600
its difference vs the 3600 is very small
not worth the extra $38
can put that extra money towards a better motherboard perhaps
Yeah ur right
tomahawk max 
Yeah and a fan controller
Ok

is this newegg anime girl mascot or what
Wait what is the cheapest Atx board i can get tha supports 3000 out of the box
DS3H unless you want A320 board
that gigabyte board you got on the list i believe
Ok can u guys help with this
better boards are definitely worth it if you have the budget
but it'll get you up and running
when was the last time tomahawk max was in stock for anywhere near reasonable price
Ik huh
i havent been looking sadly 
$115 on best by and $120 on wegg store though out of stock on wegg sadly
yikkeesss
I want a full atx board with somewhat decent overclocking
But i dont know what to get
it's sold out on best buy
oof
the cheapest ATX board right now is $130
i was finna suggest an asus board but seems to be sold out as well
this is the cheapest non micro board
I don't really think it's worth that price either unless you use wifi
$130 board not supporting higher than 3600mhz ram is disappointing
i want to only spend $510 dollars today
The ram is not the best
esspeccially at that price
So you just need cpu mobo gpu and psu?
and desktop
66 dollars for 3600mhz
latency at 19
so im planing to buy a cpu motherboard psu and a monitor
no i have one here for now
k
and an ssd for boot times
i already have ram so im not getting that
ok
im only trying to spend 510
well the 40 dollars extra is worth it for 144hz
I don't think that one had dram
well if anything ill get a really small m.2
Do ryzen 9 3900x not support 3600mhz ram?
It does
You could use a ds3h but its a pretty bad mobo
whats so bad about it
vrms fans pns
vrms power delivery
ok
voltage regulator module
what board would u suggest if i had another $20
someone asked for a rating of his build, in case you guys could have a look:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/lbpfan950/saved/LQyLP6
@copper mason that hurts for me too look at it
@little leaf hah can you elaborate a bit why it's a bad build ?
@copper mason what is the purpose?
Is it meant to be like a server?
I don't know what its suppposed to be?
also there is no video output
I hope you really need that IPMI because you're paying a lot for that
Is it meant to be like a server?
@little leaf yeep looks like it, it's a server mobo it says
I hope you really need that IPMI because you're paying a lot for that
@cursive wharf it's not for me hah
That that mobo is a complete waste of money for you
also there is no video output
there is onboard video it says on PCCPP for that mobo
ah didn't look too closey
It has nothing much of difference from basic b450 boards
it's not for me haha, someone else asked I just tried to help the OP
It has nothing much of difference from basic b450 boards
@cursive wharf tis why I like to ask questions to multiple people
it's surprising how PC building doesn't seem to have a industry standard so you see people having so many differing opinions xD
someone in that group was saying that it's perfectly fine, they'd only change the RAM
It's because the board is quite highly priced and only has two main features to be added for that price. ECC RAM and the IPMI
No point in paying a premium for features that wont get used. Also apparently the IPMI at least use to be quite bad based on some reviews. Might be better now, idk
ya I've no clue, I only built my 1st PC just few weeks ago hah
just a messenger
OP hasn't replied, it really depends on what he'll be using it for
and we can't assume his use cases, we simply don't know xD
Hello, I was hoping to purchase items for a new PC I want to have built for me. But I'm completely clueless when it comes to this technical stuff. Is there someone who would be able to help me out and ensure I got the right power supply, motherboard can handle the slots needed for items etc? I got all the items I think I will need saved
oof feel ya I was just in your spot last month :>
I got all the items I think I will need saved
@tropic kite you already got the parts list ?
if so share your PCPartPicker list I'm sure someone can help
Some of the parts are currently out of stock, so will likely wait for them to come back but I do have the parts list. Is this the right channel to post in or is there another appropriate channel?
This is fine but you need to be level 3 to post links
You can dm it to me and I'll post it for you
thanks

As in this

Oh thanks
.
Yes
oops i cant post yet lol
@tropic kite for links, you can take the http off
It's a very expensive PC for the performance you'll get
Guess I shoulda taken off monitor, I own it already but wanted to check compatibility. comes to around 2,118.52 if I take it off
Still very pricey
maybe Windows as well xD
The system Hei did up had a 2080 super and only cost 1535
maybe Windows as well xD
@copper mason Ditto. You can get a OEM windows for about 3 bucks
Mostly gaming, maybe streaming as well
oh wow I didn't know you can get it that cheap
does streaming require 64GB of RAM ? 🤔
It does not
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rMtTTC
This is a solid system, and a really good price. My guess is that it will perform better than the Intel system you have
ooo a vetted/curated system ? I'll save that for reference thanks
Don't save it, it will change soon enough
Oh thanks 🙂
ah ok
ye, in a bit Ill have to revise the mobo filter for b550
That does make me think of something though.... Why don't we just write a bot to generate pcpp lists?
Well Im too lazy to try to figure out how to make bots for sites
never ventured that type of programming
I've not really done that much, but it's not usually too bad
A lot of variables to take into account though
Anyone know a lot about cpu coolers?
A decent bit
What do you think would be better for my system? A rog ryuo 240, coolermaster master liquid Mirage, or an nzxt kraken z-3? I have a ryzen 7 3700x, rog strix 2070 super, rog crosshair viii hero wifi, 2x16 c16 3600 trident z neo, corsair rm 850x in a fractal design meshify c. Ive just been using the stock cooler and I want to upgrade to something nice
I'm leaning towards the kraken but idk how much space I'd have for it or if it's even an issue at all
I think those size AIOs aren't worth it... Are you going to be doing heavy overclocking?
I'm only doing the preset in the bios, docp or whatever
It still gets toasty af right now tho
With the stock cooler?
Yea
shouldn't be very toasty... what temps are you seeing?
No idea, I haven't checked i just know I get pretty sweaty lol
Well check, becuase it's probably not that toasty
The stock cooler is pretty decent and can handle a 3700X fine if your not overclocking
I've been wanting to build a pc with a budge for lets say 800-1000 flexible though, I'm not too educated on pc parts but I'm pretty sure I want to go with a AMD build due. So basically what I'm asking are if there are certain parts I should be getting or Idk
hey does anyone know if this is a good psu?
@latent storm yes Corsair makes good psu's
Mostly
Having issues with display with my new pc build. I'm not getting any red lights staying on but it wont display anything, ryzen 5 3600, GPU 2070 super, 750 watt gold rated psus, msi x570 A-pro mobo 3600 xpg ram, 2.5 data ssd's and 2 tb Seagate hard drive
2060S is good enough for a good vr experience right?
Not really?
...
He says it might work at low fps
People do run 1080p with 1060 granted on lowered settings but with a decent experience on I think it was half life alyx
So the 2060S should be great right?
Should be fine on slightly lowered settings
Actually @lime forge is the VR guy he might be able to answer at some point
oculus rift s doesnt even hit 90fps what
2060 s will be enough for rift S
some games may have to lower settings but even then i doubt it will be much of an issue
would a cryorig h7 cpu cooler fit in a coolermaster masterbox q300l case?
you do not need a 1080 ti for VR. I use a Vive Pro on a 1070 with no issues
Ok thanks y'all
I’d usually say at least a 1070, but I’ve also seen people use a 1060 with rift s
The RM series PSU are not bad, never had any issues with those or the CX line
Anyone got some good sites recommendations where one could build a PC from? I already got a case that's just collecting dust I could use.
Pcpp is better
Objectively
For putting a list together, yeah
And for finding the lowest new prices. Newegg is good for convenience
And Newegg will price match too, iirc. Once you have the list together.
But wegg 😦
@little osprey I agree with everyone else, I used my 1060 6GB for 2 years playing VR, I had very little issues. you'll be just fine with a 2060S
I actually bought my 1060 just for VR lmao
then I upgraded to a 2080S in january
Yeah like I said, I think 2060S is good over the recommended spec
for most popular games, you should be just fine
I mean it can RT so I hope it can VR lool
yeah but VR is kinda different
on a monitor, you're looking at a 2D screen, in VR, you're actually in a 3D space
RT, in this case, will only help if the VR game uses RT, which we're a little way off yet
that's why VR requires so much more performance for games that don't look nearly as good as some modern titles
but game devs have been good about fitting the art style to the game, so it
it's not too bad*
only game you might have to lower settings on is probably HL alyx, and a few others like it
I need help from a techie
So somebody knows a list of overkill parts for a pc with the budget of 6000€?
well, that's a very big budget lmao
you can do a lot with $6k
planning on building this anything u think I should change?
you can do a lot with $6k
Yeah but I don't knoe much
The 3300X it's the thing I would change
guys btw 6k euros is $6,700 or £5,400
Yeah, lol
and I don't need 6 cors
to what?
@clever pike maybe a ryzen 5 3500X
cores*
Do you plan for streaming?
Oh ok, then a 3300X it's perfect
Ok then it's anyways good as a build
But I'm going to work for it
... the Ryzen 3600 is sold out on Newegg directly, and a third party seller is charging 180 bucks for it.
Intel vs amd depends on your use case
Help
with what @little osprey
@little osprey everything plugged in?
Yessir
so no power at all?
Been troubleshooting for quite the amount of time
psu on?
Yup
did you post into bios?
outlet have power?
you can take out the psu, and i mean unplug everything, and try jumping it. have you done that yet?
Yes
does it jump?
what psu was it
But check out this
https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-hyper-212-black-edition-rr-212s-20pk-r1/p/N82E16835103278?item=N82E16835103278&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-cpu%2520cooling-_-cooler%2520master-_-35103278&source=region Saw this on here the other day. Would it be a good upgrade for my r5 360
3600
what do you have?
that is a good cooler yes
if you're not ocing, the stock cooler is more than sufficient, but that cooler would be better than the stock. you prob wont see any perf diff tho
Ok thanks would like a little lower temps than the stock
A psu tester
but connecting black to green doesnt work?
then the psu might be fine
how are you turning on the pc when its all hooked up right now
ok first of all your ram is in the wrong slots, they should be in 2 and 4
Like I said I've been trying to do this for multiple days
I was just trying all positions
what I would do is go barebones, put one stick in the furhtest away from cpu, take out gpu, plug psu into mobo and cpu power slots
Take out gpu?
then take a screw driver and touch the power + and - pins and see if the cpu fan spins
Or can I just unplug the pcie
you wont get display output but it will tell you if its turning
unplug it from the mobo and the power
and use one ram stick in slot 4 (furthest away from cpu)
Is it ok if I lay my gpu on the hardwood floor
not ideal but it wont hurt
Ok
just put it fan side down
Ok
as long as its not carpet or some object that can create static lol
Bwhahaha
it can damage parts of the pcb if you're not careful
but he also has a back plate so for him prob nothing. just extra precaution
geez that thing is massive lol
thats big
yeah
2060 supers are bigger then I thought
they have diff sizes
do you happen to have another psu laying around
No
or another mobo
I do happen to have another motherboard though
try another mobo
Removing cpu back and forth is a pain lool
I'll try it though
i know
Now I'm gonna warn ya, this mobo is only an a320m
It should still work fine though right
CMOS?
From the Tomahawk?
what cpu did you use on that mobo before
the a320m mobo will have a battery, remove it for a minute
and you used it on that mobo?
Nope
A320m came new from best buy and the tomahawk came directly from msi
Not best buy, ebay
it should work but it may need a bios update to work. you will at least get a fan spin Im pretty sure which is what we are checking for
to see if its the psu or mobo that has a problem
altho with your test earlier i think its going to be cpu or mobo
Oh no
?
Because I bought the CPU on eBay
its possible it was doa
It's worked before though
oh yeah it stopped over night right
Exactly correct
ok it might just be the mobo then
try the a320m mobo with the same layout i said before and see if you get a fan spin
Ok I don't need gpu plugged in correct?
yeah
Is it ok if I lay it down like this
although i think the problem is confirmed not to be a gpu issue if it still didnt work without it lol but i wouldnt just to not overload that mobo. idk what it can handle
like just have it free sitting in the case?
yeah just be careful not to scratch the underside
No it's screwed in
It has spacers so I hope it's ok
i wouldnt continue to use that mobo tho, this is just for testing
The tomahawk?
the a320m
ok
you should screw it in
if you wanna risk it, you could hold it down on top and turn it on, check for fan spin, turn it right back off
I'll just screw it up in there
i would too lol im afraid of burning out my cpu
Ok I think I got it
I suck at screwing cpu fans so I just stuck the fan to the thermal paste
@sacred obsidian
ok but i would give it some pressure with your hand if you're not screwing it in
then try turning it on and back off
see if the fan spins
you just wanna screw a lil bit on each one til they catch then screw the rest in in cross pattern evenly
Doing my first build, the mobo i have is lighting up and the gpu has a light indicating its on but theres no display and the ram i have wont light up, and the case fans aren’t either
Similar story here@regal granite
I followed the mobo user guide for wiring
is the ram plugged in all the way
gotta make sure it goes in and clicks
how many ram sticks do you have
take one out and put one in the slot furthest away from cpu
see if it turns on then
Okay i will
B450 tomahawk max is quite a good board right@sacred obsidian
its okay
its not bad
im biased against msi tho lol
did the fans spin on the other mobo?
ive personally only had DOA boards from then so far and the three times ive gotten MSI boards they were DOA and i had to exchange em, once i had gotten 2 DOA in a row. i just dont trust em anymore. it can happen with any board but for me personally i had bad experience lol
others have told me they have never had issues with em
how are you attempting to turn it on
I tried two meathod
can you take a clear picture of the entire board?
no like yours lol
@sacred obsidian i did just the one ram stick in the farthest dimm slot and still not lighting up
did it work??
no i mean yours specifically
Ok but I can't promise the pic will be too high quality
It's not gonna be 4k
thats fine lol
F
Ok good
thats some 8k camera
anyways you're touching these top 2 right pins with a screw driver right?
Is that my motherboard??
yes
Wow
on the left side of the board
Impressive
