I don’t know if this goes here but

stoic island
#

Doesn't matter go ahead

analog pulsar
potent prairie
#

Thx

analog pulsar
#

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

little leaf
#

Thoughts?

little osprey
#

I'll check it out

#

@little leaf looks pretty could but you could buy a 1600/1600af for the price of that 3100

little leaf
#

Let me see

#

Its only for gaming though

little osprey
#

You could still benefit from the 2 more cores and 4 more threads

#

Especially in the future

little leaf
#

@little osprey thats not the point of this build

#

But sure I guess Itll work

little osprey
#

You can go with the 3100 just personally I'd go with 1600 for the higher c&t

little leaf
#

Im only keeping this build for like 4months

copper mason
little leaf
#

@copper mason that hurts for me too look at it

#

Everything hurts

#

To look at

#

Oh god

copper mason
#

that hurts for me too look at it
@little leaf hahahah

little leaf
#

Shat is their budget?

copper mason
#

I've no clue, just asking for someone else

#

don't know them either lol they just posted it on another group

little leaf
#

Its terrible

#

Ask them to come here

copper mason
#

they prob won't since another platform but ya I'll ask

#

ty for the reply tho

spiral flax
little leaf
#

Would change ram

spiral flax
#

Why

tepid basalt
#

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

little leaf
#

@tepid basalt how bout my build?

tepid basalt
#

link?

little leaf
tepid basalt
#

yeah looks good

little leaf
#

Aight

little osprey
little osprey
#

Let me know what you think

tepid basalt
#

ITX build?

little osprey
#

Yeah, don't really need anything more than what it has, so -shrug-

tepid basalt
#

well I think you'll appreciate the extra space from bigger board

little osprey
#

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

tepid basalt
#

temp build with such a nice case..

#

hmm

little osprey
#

The case is going to go on to the xtreme

tepid basalt
#

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

little osprey
#

Well it's what I have, so get over it

tepid basalt
#

ah okay

#

you have the card

#

I see

tepid basalt
little osprey
#

Yup. and I've measured.

#

The board is considered an EATX, but it's only 1" wider.

tepid basalt
#

hmm still

little osprey
#

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.

tepid basalt
#

dem you're experienced

#

what am I doing lol ROFLEgg

little osprey
#

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.

tepid basalt
#

I just don't like the sound of electronics being squeezed into tight space

little osprey
#

It's got room. just not much. plus 6 case fans

tepid basalt
#

like installing an ATX board into an ATX case with basement already feels kinda tight

little osprey
#

I'm running an Ultra Tower right now and hate the thing.

tepid basalt
#

heh

#

how so

#

I think bigger is better, no?

little osprey
#

Too big. And I can't move it with the medical stuff I'm dealing with now.

tepid basalt
#

ah I see

little osprey
#

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.

tepid basalt
#

hmm

#

sounds wasteful indeed

proven plank
#

Is this good enough?

#

Nvm, discord makes it really bad

bold robin
#

Lol

stone abyss
#

Samsung scroll nice!

woven wedge
#

@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

little osprey
#

That, is a long list. And Discord made it iiitty bitty

median cloud
#

Hi, looking at motherboards for amd 3900, torn between aorus and asus at the moment. Any suggestions please?

analog hearth
#

Gigabyte typically doesn't have reliable VRMs on Ryzen motherboards. I'd just go with ASUS

median cloud
#

thanks @analog hearth the rig will ultimately be used for game audio music integration and casual gaming.

analog hearth
#

yeah you'll want the beefier VRMs when gaming so they don't die out when your CPU reaches those higher clocks

dawn spade
#

plz help

jagged ember
#

Try rewording it, with less words

analog hearth
#

also try to not paste the same thing twice haha

dawn spade
#

HUANANZHI X99-TF ATX Standard Desktop Motherboard need to know what type of psu to use

jagged ember
#

Only depends on power draw of components

analog hearth
#

I haven't heard of that brand but it says it supports either DDR3 or DDR4?

analog hearth
#

I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a CPU that can use both, DDR3 and/or DDR4

jagged ember
#

I remember trying to slot DDR3 ram into DDR4 slots once

#

It doesn't work

analog hearth
#

but it requires a PSU with a 24-pin, to answer your question

dawn spade
#

thx

analog hearth
#

lol you're welcome

are you going to upgrade to zen 3? (4000 series ryzen)

sharp bear
#

bro i dont know, anything good for gaming and streaming HAHA

modern shadow

so are you good with buying a different mobo when you upgrade?

#

@sharp bear

sharp bear
#

Whats a mobo ?

#

oh mainboard/motherboard

#

yeah

modern shadow
#

like spend more money

sharp bear
#

since it is in the range of 1k icluding monitor yes

still roostBOT

,Hamza#4115 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

sharp bear
#

why cant i send pcpartpicker link ?

celest horizon
#

Try again

sharp bear
#

oh okay thanks

#

@modern shadow
i have built this one but dont realy know if its good or not

modern shadow

#

if not, are you confortable with it?

sharp bear
#

not at all

modern shadow
#

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

sharp bear
#

is that difficult ?

modern shadow
#

you'll need to download something to a usb drive

#

and plug it in

#

wait

#

nvm

#

you cont

cant

sharp bear
#

lol

modern shadow
#

are you near a micro center?

#

Reee

modern shadow
#

nice

little leaf
#

@sharp bear budget?

sharp bear
#

@modern shadow
let me have a look

#

@little leaf
yes

little leaf
#

and purpose of the build hamza

#

@sharp bear budget and purpose of build?

sharp bear
#

gaming and streaming

little leaf
#

great

sharp bear
#

@modern shadow
thanks bro thats perfect i would say, but is it good like very good for streaming and gaming at the same time ?

little leaf
#

@sharp bear just wait until rtx 3000 come out

#

if you can wait a few months

sharp bear
#

when will this graphics cards come out

#

around 3 months ?

little leaf
#

in like september

sharp bear
#

so then the older graphics cards prices will drop ?

little leaf
#

Yes but its probably in September its gonna be out before christmans though

thick gorge
#

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

mortal rampart
#

@thick gorge you couldif you get a b450 instead

thick gorge
#

Yeah but I want to make sure I can upgrade down the line without switching everything out

little leaf
#

You can upgrade on b450

#

4th gen is supported on b450

thick gorge
#

Are there any differences between them

#

(major differences)

little leaf
#

has pcie gen4 for storage and the 16x

tired turtle
#

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

karmic arch
#

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 ?

woven wedge
#

Should work in the gpu. Using a tv the resolution may not show up correct the first time until drivers are installed

karmic arch
#

yeah ok thx

woven wedge
#

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.

karmic arch
#

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 ?

little osprey
#

Might be the fans

#

Or just a vibration caused by the fans as it's not secured properly

fast dust
#

@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.

little leaf
fast dust
#

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

left wolf
#

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. 🙂

fast dust
#

What make and model is the 460w PSU? @left wolf

left wolf
#

it's a Dell

fast dust
#

Does it have a 6 pin PCIe Connector?

little leaf
#

Ye there its gonna be a 4600 and 3080 or 4600 with 4070

#

or amd equiv

left wolf
#

the PC is i believe an older Dell XPS model

fast dust
#

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?

left wolf
#

i'm not sure how to figure that out

fast dust
#

Just take the side panel off of the computer and look for this:

left wolf
#

okay uno momento

fast dust
left wolf
#

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...

fast dust
#

Well it would go to a GPU

#

What's ur budget @left wolf

radiant thistle
#

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

left wolf
#

180 USD

fast dust
#

@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

left wolf
#

Alright cool, I appreciate it a lot @fast dust

radiant thistle
#

@fast dust thanks

fast dust
#

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

left wolf
#

Ahhhh okay

#

Will do

left wolf
#

Cool thanks, I was about to go look myself. 😅

#

It is much appreciated though

fast dust
#

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

left wolf
#

👍😄

karmic arch
#

@little osprey about the noise from the gpu it is bolted to the case how can i make it more secured ?

little osprey
#

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

fast dust
#

Sweet. I still need to throw this 60gb SSD in mine and I upgraded RAM too

little osprey
#

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

viral ore
#

60gb is enough for a windows 10 boot drive

#

and a majority of small programs

little osprey
#

True

#

My 970 is my boot drive

viral ore
#

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

spiral flax
#

can somebody build me a good 1000 USD build

#

Mostly for gaming

#

and some light homework

little osprey
#

AMD or Intel?

#

What kind of games?

spiral flax
#

amd and intel are both fine

#

im playing valoarant r6 and fornite

little osprey
#

This should do

#

For a bit more you might be able to go 2060 S and/or a 570 motherboard

spiral flax
#

k

little osprey
#

You could also go full SSD

spiral flax
#

what about fans for the case?

little osprey
#

Though 2060 is great if your streaming and using rtx, if not 1660 will do

spiral flax
#

is rx 5600xt good?

normal sail
little leaf
#

@spiral flax I can make you a better list

#

give me a second

spiral flax
#

little leaf
#

Don't get the one sal reccomended no offence but you can do much better with a 1k budget

#

Budget

#

Not sure why using that cooler with the build

latent storm
#

i have no idea what any of that means

inland ridge
#

How much money do you want to spend?

#

What games are you going to play?

icy plaza
#

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

inland ridge
#

Any other uses for the build?

icy plaza
#

i want to be able to play newer titles like doom eternal, cyberpunk (when it comes out), modern warfare, valorant

cursive wharf
#

@latent storm long story short, G3 is on average better

inland ridge
#

And how much money are you willing to spend?

#

Are you going to need peripherals? (Mouse and keyboard, monitor, etc..)

icy plaza
#

I dont really want to go past $600

#

i have peripherals

cursive wharf
#

@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

little leaf
#

@cursive wharf wanna help me with a temp build?

cursive wharf
#

@little leaf soon, setting up PC. Also previous list you posted was TUF Plus and not Pro

and what budget?

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

#

@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

spice inlet
#

I'm having a problem of when I try to boot up my screen freezes does anyone know what wrong

potent prairie
#

Does it do that every time?
Could be any number of issues

spice inlet
#

Yes but I'm reusing the drive from my old PC but I wipe the drive

potent prairie
#

So a fresh windows install

spice inlet
#

Yes

potent prairie
#

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)

spice inlet
#

Ok thx

potent prairie
#

If you have a freind w/ a build, you can test components on it

spice inlet
#

I don't but I will try the other thing

little osprey
#

I almost want to share the very first pcpp list I ever made

#

It was horrible

cursive wharf
#

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

spiral flax
#

jesus

#

why are CAD prices so expensive

#

you can prob get that for like 1200-1250 around in USD

#

2600 at over 200?

cursive wharf
#

I mean that was when the 2600 was 170 USD or so

spiral flax
#

still expensive

#

still a good build though

#

just seems expensive

#

well i guess thats how CAD works

#

Not bad, but.... no ssd

cursive wharf
#

@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

little leaf
#

oh sorry I also wanted to buy windows 10 at full price too lol

cursive wharf
#

oof

little osprey
#

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)

little leaf
#

Whats the budget @little osprey

little osprey
#

Well considering all I need is a GPU and the PSU....

little leaf
#

I would get a different mobo

little osprey
#

I'd like to stay under $250 for GPU and under $100 for the PSU

#

I also don't know the exact mobo

little leaf
#

Ram and case

little osprey
#

......

#

I just said ram was a ppaceholder

#

I couldn't find the exact ram

little leaf
#

Oh didnt see that

little osprey
#

🤦‍♂️

little leaf
#

Im tired

#

Dont bully

little osprey
#

Saaame

#

And I like the case it's small enough

#

Looks almost like a speaker

little leaf
#

Also I dont know how reputable raidmax is

#

I heard a lot of them fail

#

But idk

little osprey
#

True, probably why it's 1200w for $100

#

But it's better then thermaltake smart

#

And no I did not choose that psu^

little leaf
#

I would get something like a tmx but its no in stock

#

Or a rmx 550

little osprey
#

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

muted dawn
#

can anyone find me a decent looking and decent priced 650w+ 80 + gold fully modular PSU? in australia

bold robin

1200 for $100? Have fun with your fireworks.

#

Lol

little leaf
#

Almost as hot as intel 10thgen

muted dawn
#

dont cheap out on psu thats bad idea

cursive wharf
#

wattage =/= quality

#

nor does rating

#

A good 550w can do stock 3950x+2080Ti, no need for 1200w

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€?

little osprey
#

6000

#

That's a ton

proven plank
#

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

little osprey
#

Oof same

proven plank
#

I had 2 laptops which were OK but now I want to destroy the games I play

little osprey
#

Yeah

proven plank
#

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

Oops

I forgot

Sorry

Anyways, wow, crap, that's a lot

little osprey
#

Yeah

proven plank
#

I will be happy if I can get 800€ a month

little osprey
#

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

proven plank
#

Oh ok lol

little osprey
#

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 😅

bold robin
#

Your pc has frozen 2000 times a month with a 9900K?

#

Maybe you need to make your overclock a bit more stable lol

cursive harbor
#

Should I get a b450 to save money or go with a b550 for a 3300x?

potent prairie
#

Depends. Do you want B550 features like pcle 4.0

upbeat kestrel
#

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

cursive harbor
#

@upbeat kestrel I'm looking to future proof

upbeat kestrel
#

Your money should be put into the bigger parts in that case

cursive harbor
#

They have said Zen 3 will work but after that I don't wanna have to buy a new mobo

sand falcon
#

The b550 would only give you one more gen of CPU, once zen4 comes tou will need a new motherboard

cursive harbor
#

Are you sure it won't support Zen 4 concidering b450 will support Zen 3?

lavish sonnet
#

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

sand falcon
#

Zen4 will be in an entirely new socket, so no

cursive harbor
#

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

sand falcon
#

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

mortal rampart
#

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

cursive harbor
#

@sand falcon the shared ccx is a real selling point and the price difference really isn't that big

sand falcon
#

Yup

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

little osprey
#

@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

inland ridge
#

@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

#

Ite the gigabyte b450m ds3h

#

So im a noob trting to build a pc and i want a 3600x

earnest olive
#

if you're asking if it supports ryzen 3000 out of the box

ripe osprey
#

Okay

earnest olive
#

the answer is yes

wintry yoke
#

Ok thank you

earnest olive
#

what price are you getting the 3600X for?

wintry yoke
#

204.99 plus tax

earnest olive
#

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

wintry yoke
#

Yeah ur right

autumn wolf
#

tomahawk max NYEHE

earnest olive
#

i own a 3600X myself because i got it for $143

#

it's not much better than a 3600

wintry yoke
#

Yeah and a fan controller

earnest olive
#

what is your build looking like right now?

#

do you have a pcpartpicker list?

wintry yoke
#

Yeah

#

Its kinda a mess tho

earnest olive
#

show it

#

don't be shy

wintry yoke
#

Ok

lyric thistle
earnest olive
#

is this newegg anime girl mascot or what

wintry yoke
#

Wait what is the cheapest Atx board i can get tha supports 3000 out of the box

earnest olive
#

DS3H unless you want A320 board

autumn wolf
#

that gigabyte board you got on the list i believe

earnest olive
#

i would not recommend A320

#

DS3H is a fine board, it's basic but it works

wintry yoke
#

Ok can u guys help with this

earnest olive
#

better boards are definitely worth it if you have the budget

#

but it'll get you up and running

autumn wolf
#

tomahawk max

earnest olive
#

when was the last time tomahawk max was in stock for anywhere near reasonable price

wintry yoke
#

Ik huh

autumn wolf
#

i havent been looking sadly peepoSadSip

earnest olive
#

it's $280 rn loool

autumn wolf
#

$115 on best by and $120 on wegg store though out of stock on wegg sadly

idle raven
#

yikkeesss

wintry yoke
#

I want a full atx board with somewhat decent overclocking

#

But i dont know what to get

earnest olive
#

it's sold out on best buy

autumn wolf
#

oof

earnest olive
#

the cheapest ATX board right now is $130

autumn wolf
#

i was finna suggest an asus board but seems to be sold out as well

earnest olive
#

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

wintry yoke
earnest olive
#

anyways gonna go eat so hopefully someone else can help you

little leaf
#

@wintry yoke dm me the list and I can paste it in

#

@wintry yoke whats the budget?

wintry yoke
#

i want to only spend $510 dollars today

little leaf
#

The ram is not the best

#

esspeccially at that price

#

So you just need cpu mobo gpu and psu?

#

and desktop

wintry yoke
#

66 dollars for 3600mhz

little leaf
#

latency at 19

wintry yoke
#

16 gigs

#

yeah thats the only down fall

little leaf
#

19 2020 40

#

I would say 3200mhz and 16 cl is better

#

at a cheaper price

wintry yoke
#

so im planing to buy a cpu motherboard psu and a monitor

little leaf
#

gpu?

#

or no?

wintry yoke
#

no i have one here for now

little leaf
#

k

wintry yoke
#

and an ssd for boot times

little leaf
wintry yoke
#

i already have ram so im not getting that

little leaf
#

ok

wintry yoke
#

im only trying to spend 510

little leaf
#

well the 40 dollars extra is worth it for 144hz

wintry yoke
#

so i was thinking instead of m.2 ill get 2.5 inch

#

yeah i agree with u on that

little leaf
#

I don't think that one had dram

wintry yoke
#

well if anything ill get a really small m.2

vernal pasture
#

Do ryzen 9 3900x not support 3600mhz ram?

little leaf
#

It does

wintry yoke
#

it does

#

ok now all i need is a cheap motherboard

little leaf
#

You could use a ds3h but its a pretty bad mobo

wintry yoke
#

whats so bad about it

little leaf
#

vrms fans pns

wintry yoke
#

im a noob

#

what does all that mean

#

what u just said

little leaf
#

vrms power delivery

wintry yoke
#

ok

little leaf
#

voltage regulator module

wintry yoke
#

what board would u suggest if i had another $20

little leaf
#

The board I recommended

#

It'll be able to be upgraded

wintry yoke
#

which one

#

the one in pc part picker list?

wintry yoke
#

ok

#

and this one has third gen ryzen out of the box

@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

copper mason
#

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

cursive wharf
#

That that mobo is a complete waste of money for you

copper mason
#

also there is no video output
there is onboard video it says on PCCPP for that mobo

little leaf
#

ah didn't look too closey

cursive wharf
#

It has nothing much of difference from basic b450 boards

copper mason
#

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

cursive wharf
#

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

copper mason
#

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

copper mason
#

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?

Still very pricey

maybe Windows as well xD

#

The system Hei did up had a 2080 super and only cost 1535

copper mason

what will it be used for?

#

oof I wants a 2080S 🤤

maybe Windows as well xD
@copper mason Ditto. You can get a OEM windows for about 3 bucks

tropic kite
#

Mostly gaming, maybe streaming as well

copper mason
#

oh wow I didn't know you can get it that cheap

#

does streaming require 64GB of RAM ? 🤔

sand falcon
#

It does not

copper mason
#

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

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?

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

fast dust
#

I think those size AIOs aren't worth it... Are you going to be doing heavy overclocking?

sterile quest
#

I'm only doing the preset in the bios, docp or whatever

#

It still gets toasty af right now tho

fast dust
#

With the stock cooler?

sterile quest
#

Yea

fast dust
#

shouldn't be very toasty... what temps are you seeing?

sterile quest
#

No idea, I haven't checked i just know I get pretty sweaty lol

fast dust
#

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

2060S is good enough for a good vr experience right?

sacred obsidian
#

yes

#

well at least for an oculus

#

That it was so weak

stoic island

Not really?

He says it might work at low fps

stoic island
#

People do run 1080p with 1060 granted on lowered settings but with a decent experience on I think it was half life alyx

little osprey
#

So the 2060S should be great right?

stoic island
#

Should be fine on slightly lowered settings

#

Actually @lime forge is the VR guy he might be able to answer at some point

sacred obsidian
#

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

But wegg 😦

fringe hatch
#

@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

little osprey
#

Yeah like I said, I think 2060S is good over the recommended spec

fringe hatch
#

for most popular games, you should be just fine

little osprey
#

I mean it can RT so I hope it can VR lool

fringe hatch
#

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

with what @little osprey

cursive wharf
little osprey
#

Well wasnt really an ask but ok

#

@sacred obsidian with trobleshooting my computer

sacred obsidian
#

what is it doing

#

just not powering on at all?

little osprey
#

Yep

#

No power chief

little leaf
#

@little osprey everything plugged in?

little osprey
#

Yessir

little leaf
#

so no power at all?

little osprey
#

Been troubleshooting for quite the amount of time

little leaf
#

psu on?

little osprey
#

Yup

green warren
#

did you post into bios?

little leaf
#

outlet have power?

little osprey
#

Yes

#

No to dextard yes to btc

sacred obsidian
#

you can take out the psu, and i mean unplug everything, and try jumping it. have you done that yet?

little osprey
#

Yes

green warren
#

yeah did you try clearing cmos

#

oh

sacred obsidian
#

does it jump?

little osprey
#

Nope

sacred obsidian
#

then the psu is dead

#

replace psu

green warren
#

what psu was it

little osprey
#

But check out this

little leaf
#

what do you have?

sacred obsidian
#

that is a good cooler yes

little osprey
sacred obsidian
#

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

woven wedge
#

Ok thanks would like a little lower temps than the stock

little osprey
#

TODK check that out

#

That's kinda throwing me a curve ball

sacred obsidian
#

what is that machine

#

ive never seen that

little osprey
#

A psu tester

sacred obsidian
#

but connecting black to green doesnt work?

little osprey
#

Idk I haven't tried it since I had that

#

The lights show it's getting power

sacred obsidian
#

then the psu might be fine

#

how are you turning on the pc when its all hooked up right now

little osprey
#

I can't turn it on

#

I was trying to jump it

#

But I also tried case

sacred obsidian
#

ok first of all your ram is in the wrong slots, they should be in 2 and 4

little osprey
#

Like I said I've been trying to do this for multiple days

#

I was just trying all positions

sacred obsidian
#

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

little osprey
#

Take out gpu?

sacred obsidian
#

then take a screw driver and touch the power + and - pins and see if the cpu fan spins

little osprey
#

Or can I just unplug the pcie

sacred obsidian
#

you wont get display output but it will tell you if its turning

#

unplug it from the mobo and the power

little osprey
#

Ok

#

I will try

sacred obsidian
#

and use one ram stick in slot 4 (furthest away from cpu)

little osprey
#

Is it ok if I lay my gpu on the hardwood floor

sacred obsidian
#

not ideal but it wont hurt

little osprey
#

Ok

sacred obsidian
#

just put it fan side down

little osprey
#

Ok

green warren
#

what happens when you put it on the PCB side

#

will it get damaged or something

sacred obsidian
#

as long as its not carpet or some object that can create static lol

little osprey
sacred obsidian
#

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

green warren
#

thats big

little osprey
#

@green warren yeah I wanted it to be very cool lool

sacred obsidian
#

yeah

green warren
#

2060 supers are bigger then I thought

sacred obsidian
#

they have diff sizes

little osprey
#

No good chief

#

Nothing happened

sacred obsidian
#

do you happen to have another psu laying around

little osprey
#

No

sacred obsidian
#

or another mobo

little osprey
#

I do happen to have another motherboard though

sacred obsidian
#

try another mobo

little osprey
#

Removing cpu back and forth is a pain lool

sacred obsidian
#

cause if its not your psu it will be your mobo or ram

#

lol

little osprey
#

I'll try it though

sacred obsidian
#

i know

little osprey
#

Now I'm gonna warn ya, this mobo is only an a320m

#

It should still work fine though right

sacred obsidian
#

for a 2700? i believe so

#

im not 100% tho

green warren
#

A320?

#

I think it should work fine

little osprey
#

Yes

#

It's a sister

#

Spare*

sacred obsidian
#

clear the cmos before you switch

#

remove the battery from the new mobo

little osprey
#

CMOS?

sacred obsidian
#

or the a320m

#

remove the little battery

#

and wait a minute

little osprey
#

From the Tomahawk?

sacred obsidian
#

what cpu did you use on that mobo before

#

the a320m mobo will have a battery, remove it for a minute

little osprey
#

I've always d used a 2700

#

This is my first pc

sacred obsidian
#

and you used it on that mobo?

little osprey
#

Nope

sacred obsidian
#

oh

#

where did it come from

little osprey
#

A320m came new from best buy and the tomahawk came directly from msi

#

Not best buy, ebay

sacred obsidian
#

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

little osprey
#

Oh no

sacred obsidian
#

?

little osprey
#

Because I bought the CPU on eBay

sacred obsidian
#

its possible it was doa

little osprey
#

It's worked before though

sacred obsidian
#

oh yeah it stopped over night right

little osprey
#

Exactly correct

sacred obsidian
#

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

little osprey
#

Ok I don't need gpu plugged in correct?

sacred obsidian
#

yeah

little osprey
sacred obsidian
#

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

little osprey
#

No it's screwed in

sacred obsidian
#

oh

#

yeah its fine

little osprey
#

It has spacers so I hope it's ok

sacred obsidian
#

i wouldnt continue to use that mobo tho, this is just for testing

little osprey
#

The tomahawk?

sacred obsidian
#

the a320m

little osprey
#

Ok

#

I am now gonna move parts over

sacred obsidian
#

ok

little osprey
#

Can I just sit cpu fan on top

#

So I don't have to screw it in

sacred obsidian
#

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

little osprey
#

I'll just screw it up in there

sacred obsidian
#

i would too lol im afraid of burning out my cpu

little osprey
#

Ok I think I got it

#

I suck at screwing cpu fans so I just stuck the fan to the thermal paste

#

@sacred obsidian

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

little osprey
#

I'm so bad at screwing

#

This

sacred obsidian
#

you just wanna screw a lil bit on each one til they catch then screw the rest in in cross pattern evenly

regal granite
#

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

little osprey
#

Similar story here@regal granite

regal granite
#

I followed the mobo user guide for wiring

sacred obsidian
#

is the ram plugged in all the way

regal granite
#

Yes it is

#

I triple checked

sacred obsidian
#

gotta make sure it goes in and clicks

regal granite
#

It did

#

It clicked on both sides

sacred obsidian
#

how many ram sticks do you have

regal granite
#

2

#

And the user guide said for dual channel to do A2 and B2 so i did that

sacred obsidian
#

take one out and put one in the slot furthest away from cpu

#

see if it turns on then

regal granite
#

Okay i will

little osprey
#

B450 tomahawk max is quite a good board right@sacred obsidian

sacred obsidian
#

its okay

#

its not bad

#

im biased against msi tho lol

#

did the fans spin on the other mobo?

little osprey
#

Why's that

#

I'm still trying to plug in cpu

#

Power

sacred obsidian
#

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

little osprey
#

That's happened to me too

#

Also, it didn't turn on

sacred obsidian
#

how are you attempting to turn it on

little osprey
#

I tried two meathod

sacred obsidian
#

can you take a clear picture of the entire board?

little osprey
#

From google

#

?

sacred obsidian
#

no like yours lol

regal granite
#

@sacred obsidian i did just the one ram stick in the farthest dimm slot and still not lighting up

green warren
#

did it work??

sacred obsidian
#

no i mean yours specifically

little osprey
#

Ok but I can't promise the pic will be too high quality

sacred obsidian
#

dextard are fans spinning and stuff

#

or is there just lights

little osprey
#

It's not gonna be 4k

sacred obsidian
#

thats fine lol

little osprey
#

@green warren no not yet :(

green warren
#

F

sacred obsidian
#

idk man thats pretty high quality

#

like i can read everything

little osprey
#

Ok good

green warren
#

thats some 8k camera

sacred obsidian
#

anyways you're touching these top 2 right pins with a screw driver right?

little osprey
#

Is that my motherboard??

sacred obsidian
#

yes

little osprey
#

Wow

sacred obsidian
#

on the left side of the board

little osprey
#

Impressive
