radiant oar
#

I am using logitech 502 HERO >> very good mouse no complains

tepid basalt
#

and he pick a razer

radiant oar
#

hahah

little osprey
#

its for when i give my grandmother my laptop

#

its a low end razer

#

fine

#

what about this?

tepid basalt
#

you're serious about this?

potent prairie
#

That looks horrible

little osprey
#

well you made fun of the razer

stoic island
#

Honestly it works for your grandmother lol

#

Anyways Logitech g403 I think it was

#

That's a good cheap mouse

potent prairie
#

I haven't tried very many non-gaming mice. Only decent on I had was a Logitech Mx revolution, but I found the lowest end Corsair mouse was nicer in my books

little osprey
#

i mean itll work, she likes wireless better, but ill take it

#

like i saw her buy a wired, used it for a day, the next day she bought a wireless mouse

stoic island
#

Corsair harpoon rgb

#
little osprey
#

couldnt find it in or pcpp

#

$40 cheaper on amazon

#

finished

#

ill probably wait till i order the b450 mobo as well

keen depot
#

How's this for a 1200 budget?

#

And if I'm planning on upgrading my CPU, should I go with the 2600

tepid basalt
#

post the link a gain

#

you copied the wrong one

keen depot
#

Oof

#

I did didn't i

tepid basalt
#

take the link from here

#

not the address bar

keen depot
#

I've used pcpp

#

I'm.jist tired

tepid basalt
#

is that x570 tomahawk on stock anywhere?

keen depot
#

Not currently,

#

I've looked at prices and it's usually 220 more or less

tepid basalt
#

I think you should go with the b550 instead

stoic island
#

Overpriced ram

tepid basalt
#

even if you need wifi, there're cheaper and better choice

stoic island
#

Go for 3600mhz cl16 ram at same price

#

Or even cheaper

#

Trident z neo if you need rgb

#

Ripjaw v for cheaper

keen depot
#

Alright

stoic island
#

P1 isnt great SSD, go MP34 or SN750

#

PSU I'll have to check but I'm not too comfortable with cv

little osprey
#

good ssd rn is mx500 and 870 evo, comparable in price

tepid basalt
#

you don't have many choices with psu rn

keen depot
#

Yah

stoic island
#

Mx500 is decently priced

little osprey
#

Patriot VPN100 for nvme if Anomalous wants nvme

stoic island
#

Samsung usually really overpriced but can't check

#

Don't go ex920

keen depot
#

I honestly cannot find the mx500

jagged ember
#

ex920 no good

stoic island
#

Bad personal experiences with friends

little osprey
#

870 evo sata 1tb is $140 usd

stoic island
#

Holy crap

#

That's bad

keen depot
#

NVM found it

jagged ember
#

oh

#

no bueno

stoic island
#

Mp34 NVMe 1tb is 130$

keen depot
#

Pcpp was acting wierd

stoic island
#

So yea

little osprey
#

870 evo Sata 6gb is $140 for 1tb with 1024 cache

stoic island
#

Mp34 has dram, phison e12 controller, ridiculously high tbw endurance

#

Nothing bad about it

keen depot
#

Alright here's the new list

stoic island
#

It's like 3400mb read 3000mb write

#

Umm

#

Mx500 m.2 isn't really worth it

little osprey
#

it isnt

stoic island
#

Go Mp34 512gb or SN750 500gb

keen depot
#

Alright

stoic island
#

Mx500 SATA is decent

stoic island
#

I'd go 512 SSD + 2tb HDD for now instead of just 1tb ssd

keen depot
#

So that

stoic island
#

Pricing for the PSU looks wack from my end

little osprey
#

that works for me

little leaf
#

I mean I wouldnt

little osprey
#

$70 for psu

little leaf
#

I atmost only use 1tb

little osprey
#

though id get a 450 mobo

#

not a 570

#

highest id go is 550

stoic island
#

I filled my 1tb SSD so yea

little osprey
#

youd cut almost $100 that way

keen depot
#

What is going on with Amazon PC prices rn

stoic island
#

Best go for b450/b550

little osprey
#

everyones prices are infalted @keen depot

stoic island
#

B550 really because the pre-order prices are decent

keen depot
#

Amazon's tho is just off the charts

tepid basalt
#

yeah

#

I was looking at the psu and be like "wtf..."

keen depot
#

715 for the x570 tomohak

little osprey
#

which is funny cause all the items im buying soon are CHEAPER on amazon

tepid basalt
stoic island
#

Lol

little osprey
#

the mouse is $40 cheaper on amazon compared to newegg and bestbuy

stoic island
#

Anyways CX 550w is in stock as an option

tepid basalt
little osprey
#

id go 550 or 500

stoic island
#

CV I forgot how good it is

keen depot
#

Yeah PCs aren't gonna be great to build rn

stoic island
#

Sounds meh

#

Cx is always good to reccomend

tepid basalt
#

CV is basically VS

#

with a little upgrade

stoic island
#

Bad then iirc

tepid basalt
#

but at least the review sounds good

stoic island
#

Vs was the one bad one I remember

tepid basalt
#

but we never know

half crown
#

question

stoic island
#

Lol

half crown
#

can you use other brand led strips on a nzxt hue 2 controller or nzxt smart rgb/fan hub?

tepid basalt
#

light stuff

#

I'm dumb

tepid basalt
#

up to the RGB experts

half crown
#

any rgb experts in here?

#

lol

little osprey
#

good psu for Anomalous?

stoic island
#

Dunno

#

Well it should be good

#

But I'm drawing a blank on how much power 5700xt draws

#

It's prob time for me to slep

little osprey
#

newegg says total at 420

keen depot
#

So did a bit of searching, and found somewhere that's selling the tomahawk for 220

stoic island
#

Fine then

keen depot
#

And they're backlogged

stoic island
#

Eh I'd just get a good b550 board for like 160$

#

No real reason for x570 nowadays

little osprey
#

im getting a 450 for $150

#

granted im getting it for a very specific reason, i could go cheaper

stoic island
#

Holy crap b550 boards are out of stock quick

little osprey
#

well yeah

#

theyre a cheap version of the 570s

stoic island
#

Buildzoids video yesterday on the b550 MSI boards still had like half of the boards in stock

#

Now it's all out of stock

tepid basalt
#

rx5700xt?

keen depot
#

B550s are gonna be tough to get

tepid basalt
#

around 220W full load

little osprey
#

thats why im getting a 450

#

still works with 3rd gen

stoic island
#

550 is nice to have

#

But 450 works

tepid basalt
#

but B450 is running out of stock at your end, isn't it

stoic island
#

Everything slowly is

little osprey
#

550 is going to be sold out quick for a while

keen depot
#

So is there a difference between x570 and b550 other than no OCing?

little osprey
#

and not for me

stoic island
#

Pre-order while you can

tepid basalt
#

not really here

stoic island
#

Nothing afaik

little osprey
#

my 450 is in stock with no sign of running out rn

tepid basalt
#

shops here are even actively clearing stock of b450

#

but unable to

keen depot
#

Oh well I'll go with the tomahawk b550

#

Sites letting me pre order

stoic island
#

Even overclocking, b550 boards see really good VRMs so far

tepid basalt
#

ppl in my country still love intel so much...

stoic island
#

Like

#

No reason for x570

#

Other than chipset support for extra pcie

keen depot
#

Alright

stoic island
#

That's about ir

tepid basalt
#

well maybe some x570 cheaper than b550 will be worth it

stoic island
#

You paid 150 for that?

tepid basalt
#

x570 tuf

stoic island
#

B450 f should be 130

little osprey
#

not yet

#

I was trying to figure out what the differences where the other day, and then forgot.

stoic island
#

X570-p usually at 150$ is goos

little osprey
#

it is, if i went elsewhere, but then my other items would cost more

#

much more

keen depot
#

I swapped out the x570 for the b550 tomahak

stoic island
#

Kk

little osprey
#

its cheaper in total in amazon

keen depot
#

Saved 40 bucks there

stoic island
#

Ye lol

tepid basalt
#

that b450f is decent

#

good but not great

keen depot
#

Now to deal with the last issue

#

The goddamn

#

Psu

stoic island
#

I have a flagship b450 board I got for like 120$

little osprey
#

for example my mouse is $40 more on newegg, but the board is $20 less

tepid basalt
#

just plug everything straight at the powerline

#

who needs psu

stoic island
#

Okay I slep now good luck

keen depot
#

Goodnight Germany

keen depot
#

Totally germsny

little osprey
#

thisll be good

stoic island
#

Comrade

keen depot
#

Yes I know it's russia

stoic island
#

For the RODINA

keen depot
#

USSR to be more exact

stoic island
#

Anyways

tepid basalt
#

this cracks me up every time

little osprey
#

lol

jagged ember
#

hahaha

little osprey
#

but i believe anomalous is set

keen depot
#

Honestly I know nothing about PSUs, so I'll got with what you say sal

stoic island
#

PSU tier list in pinned

-sleepy mr

little osprey
#

mr1111 gave a tired voice of approval

stoic island
#

Ye

#

Zzz

jagged ember
#

seriously though, tier list is your tool

#

please look at it

little osprey
#

welp back to pokemon i go

keen depot
#

I did and I'm too tired to make heads or tails of it

#

Thanks for the help guys

little osprey
#

yep

keen depot
#

Oh sal, one last question

little osprey
#

ye?

keen depot
#

Come time to upgrade, possibly to 3080 but most likely 2080S, will the PSU still hold out

#

Wait nvm

#

I was doing my math wrong

#

Alright

#

Good night for real this time

little osprey
#

oh ok?

#

but anyways @keen depot yes it will

foggy path
#

Does anyone have any good cpu cooler suggestions

wary tundra
foggy path
#

Thank you my good man

little osprey
#

yep

#

and if you want there is an rgb version for 45 usd

#

@foggy path

foggy path
#

Ok

#

I also need some just normal case fans

little osprey
#

ok

#

@foggy path how many?

foggy path
#

2 or 3

little osprey
#

sometimes getting like a triple pack is cheaper

foggy path
#

Ok

little osprey
#

size?

foggy path
#

It is for upgrading a optiplex so maybe like 90mm

foggy path
#

Hmm

#

Idk

foggy path
#

Maybe that will work but an rgb option would be nice

foggy path
#

Oh I like that one

little osprey
#

unfortunetly, theres not many rgb options for fans that size

foggy path
#

That's ok

#

Rgb is not needed but it would be cool

little osprey
#

you could always upgrade case...

#

one of the few with a price

foggy path
#

Yes I could but I'm building a lil sleeper

little osprey
#

ahh get a mitx case

foggy path
#

I'm trying to fit it all in the optiplex

#

But I could

little osprey
#

i can look around if you want

foggy path
#

No its fine

#

I Might yeet the disc drive for room

little osprey
#

lol

#

up to you, there are desktop cases similar to the optiplex

foggy path
#

I dont even have the optiplex just yet its coming on Friday but I'm getting a headstart on parts

little osprey
#

ahhh ok, well if you already ordered it, no reason to get another case

foggy path
#

Ooo thata pretty cool

#

Well I gotta get to sleep I got some people coming over to fix my internet in the morning

little osprey
#

yep, gl. also, that cable management

#

8 fans and 2 12" gpus!?

#

man

#

man the bigger versions are OOS

#

actually, i cant find them AT ALL

#

DISCONTINUED!?

#

$131 w/o counting tax on ebay!?

#

nevermind

#

but, 8 fans max.....

mortal void
#

quick question, Deepcool E-Shield or Matrexx 55 Mesh?

little osprey
#

cases?

mortal void
#

yes

#

they are both the same price, It'd be nice to have a PSU Shroud which is why the Mesh is looking good right now

#

just not sure which is technically "better"

little osprey
#

considering i cant find the deepcool, id say matrexx

#

nvm

#

i had a setting on that i forgot about

#

id still say matrexx @mortal void

mortal void
#

I was leaning towards that yeah

#

I'll probably switch to it

little osprey
#

side by side comparison above

mortal void
#

I saw thanks

#

I just like a PSU shroud better

#

TBH

little osprey
#

you get more hard drive slots, and a power shroud, thats all that i can see

#

though both are OOS

mortal void
#

not a problem. The build I have set-up is for the Future when I actually have income to buy things

little osprey
#

and another thing, the e-shield isnt even popping up in newegg

#

nor amazon

mortal void
#

E-Shield is only available through Canada Computers whereas the Matrexx 55 is available on there as well as Amazon.ca for Me

#

which honestly the more parts I can get off Amazon the better

little osprey
#

ahhh

#

anything else you need?

mortal void
#

nope

#

Thanks

little osprey
#

๐Ÿ‘

mortal void
#

and I just found out that the Matrexx 55 SSD mounting points are hidden. That and PSU Shroud just sold me for sure on the case

#

oh and the PCI Covers just need to be unscrewed to remove which at the budget price-point I gotta watch out for

#

Dope

#

oh one problem. No Pre-installed Rear Fan wuuut

little osprey
#

Oof

#

Buy a cheapo

#

@mortal void

mortal void
#

I was either gonna get 2 or 3 Black Arctic Fans for $20-30 or 2 Be quiet! Pure Wings 2 Fans for $30

#

not sure if cheaper fans but 3 of them is worth it over 2 very solid fans for the same price

little osprey
#

True

mortal void
#

I'm tempted to go with be quiet fans

drifting timber
cursive wharf
#

what do you need gen4 or 64gb of RAM for?

teal tartan
cursive wharf
#

@teal tartan You'd be better off with a AMD CPU+2080Ti build, also QHD with MSAA looks the same as 4k basically. So 4k is just a waste of perf. SSD is mediocre- esp for price, so is RAM, AIO is horribly priced

teal tartan
#

I already have everything but a psu lol ordered it first then it went on backorder

drifting timber
#

Hei becuase it will last a long time

#

im already maxing out 32gb

#

with vms

#

and ram cache

#

i can easily use 64gb

cursive wharf
#

So it isnt about future proofing, it's about workload. Which with VMs/RAM cache having a decent amount will help

drifting timber
#

yea

#

i mean it will be nice to have this power

cursive wharf
#

but anyways, both RAM choices are meh

drifting timber
#

it will last a while

#

what ram you suggest

cursive wharf
#

fair bit more

drifting timber
#

thanks for the link, i did however have too many bad experiences with asus in the past

cursive wharf
#

Asus is meh. Crumby company with a few good products

drifting timber
#

yes meh is right

teal tartan
#

So if im overclocking my i9 what psu should i go with

cursive wharf
#

Considering you have a 9900k+2080S then 550w would work. Might as well 650w for 2080Ti or x080Ti or smth

#

unless you XOC OC you GPU/CPU or smth

teal tartan
#

Well i keep hearing the 3080 might be announced or released this year so i figured id wait a few months before shilling out for a ti

drifting timber
cursive wharf
#

PPI is quite low

#

so idk, probs wont look that great

drifting timber
#

ohh

#

got any suggestions

teal tartan
#

Whats a good 1-2tb ssd to get as a secondary

cold sorrel
#

Man I'm tempted to just go ahead and grab that Phanteks PSU while it's in stock.

rapid oak
#

i am trying to upgrade my pc and am getting a 3600 as my cpu but the motherboard i am looking for isn't near me (Asus tuf x570 plus wifi) someone suggested that i could go for a gigabyte UD x570 is that a good motherboard or should i search for a better one?

potent prairie
#

I'm not a fan of gigabyte, at least their cheaper stuff

#

You could go with a b550 board, unless you need x570

#

Plus, I can't find anyone selling that board for anything resembling a decent price

glad bone
#

Need help guys everything in my pc is turning on but my motherboard is showing boot device not detected or fail. So there is no post or any display on my moniter.

wary geode
#

reallly i only like asus usually

#

for the first timew im using a asrock board in my buld

upbeat coral
#

does anyone know how to change rgb of my amd stock cooler/msi 2080ti gaming x trio?

#

i can do my motherboard in bios but ive never had any type of rgb before this pc LOL

potent prairie
#

They likely have some proprietary RGB software

digital fulcrum
#

Is there a way to move the contents of a system drive (OS and everything) to a new/larger ssd? Without reinstalling everything that is

lyric thistle
#

Yes

#

Cloning

#

I cloned my 1tb drive to a 500GB SSD love_it

digital fulcrum
#

Oh cool! Is there a recommended software that you use?

lyric thistle
#

I used Macrium Reflect

#

Free version

#

Software does drive cloning, imaging, etc.

digital fulcrum
#

nice nice. thanks!

@warm charm what exact model? I know Raidmax makes some okay PSUs but the have a reputation for being pretty bad

Hello, I need helping solving an issue I am experiencing. My PC when not in use for like 15 min will restart on its own. This process will repeat non stop until I am either using the device or shut it down.

i cant breathe through glass and neither can those fans

Any help will be appreciated

mortal rampart

@little osprey ^^

sorry fam i have no clue how to help peepoSadSip

Itโ€™s all good! I donโ€™t know why it is happening.

@warm charm baaaad choice man... Iโ€™d get rid of that thing ASAP.
Take a look at these.

And this image of reviews.

little osprey
#

@mortal rampart theres mesh around the glass for air intake

fast dust
#

@undone falcon try running Windows memory diagnostic

undone falcon
#

Okay! I will try that

mortal rampart
#

@little osprey theres still glass in front of it lul the mesh will only make it harder(but not that much harder)

little osprey
#

๐Ÿคท

#

it has a 4 star rating with 202 ratings

#

front glass panel IS also removeable for more air flow

mortal rampart
#

Yeah I'd do that instead

little osprey
#

and fans have a remote to control them too

mortal rampart
#

Cause you can't beat having 6 fans for the price

#

Not unless the fans suck that bad which I doubt

#

Yeah the remote stuff to me is kinda a gimmick

little osprey
#

"Very happy with the overall build of the case, and the fans. Super quiet and definitely a big upgrade from what I was using before.
I only have one complaint, I noticed the top has a usb-C port on it, I thought that was pretty exciting as I have type c on my phone. Turns out it's only a slot with no actual type c capabilities. A little disappointed and confused why that would even be there." worst review ive seen

#

and no complaints about fans yet

#

might return Challenger S and get this

mortal void
#

@cursive wharf
would it be okay to use the Arctic P12 for PC Fans? They are normally supposed to be for Airflow Restrictions or used on Heatsinks/Radiators
I can get 3 of them for the same price of 2 Be quiet! Fans

mortal rampart
#

And for the type c connector you need to have the plug-in that supports it on your motherboard

little osprey
#

kinda figured

mortal rampart
#

The guy who wrote that review eitherrr didn't know that or his type c connector is broken

#

Either way you'd be fine

little osprey
#

yeah i kinda figured youd need a compatible mobo for it

mortal rampart
#

I would've gone with something like that but I needed it to be white

little osprey
#

i checked the compatible mobo list, and the one im planning on getting is compatible

mortal rampart
#

W

#

What's in your build?

little osprey
#

i have everything but mobo

mortal rampart
#

Why is your build so expensive for that price uh

fast dust
#

Why a Hybrid 5400 RPM and a THERMALTAKE SMART?!?

#

DONT CHEAP OUT ON YOUR POWER SUPPLY EEEEE

mortal rampart
#

Ik

#

Fr

#

Lemme make you a part list rq fam love_it

#

Cause frankly

#

For that price

#

I'm disgusted steveconfused :

fast dust
#

Love him or hate him heโ€™s kinda speaking straight facts

little leaf
#

Thats not a great ssd and hdd for the price

mortal rampart
#

exactly

#

an m.2 is and m.2

little leaf
#

also the 570 for 150 is not good either

mortal rampart
#

^^^

cursive wharf
#

@mortal void yeah that'd be fine. CFM is usually good enough even if just using as a standard case fan

mortal void
#

@cursive wharf
Cool thanks

little leaf
#

a 1650s would be a better choice

fast dust
#

For $10 more you can get a 1650 s

mortal rampart

fast dust
#

Freak I was beat to it

mortal rampart
#

lmao

#

im gonna bless him with a great build

#

idek what the budget is but oh well <33

spiral zealot
#

honest question after thinking about it for a few days: if i'm trying to build a system to flip (not selling it here), is it better to use my X58 platform or spend a couple hundred on a basic lower end ryzen setup (cpu/mobo/memory) and use the rest of the components i have to finish it out. just thinking from the standpoint of, an x58 system isn't really upgradeable for whoever buys it, but a ryzen system would be

fast dust
#

When flipping youโ€™re not looking for upgradability, youโ€™re looking for pure performance and looks at a low price. You think someone buying a prebuilt would be comfortable upgrading? The reason theyโ€™re buying prebuilt is because they donโ€™t feel comfortable working with the components

little osprey
#

@mortal rampart @fast dust @little leaf

#

i didnt buy em

#

why i bought was the evo and the hybrid

spiral zealot
#

@fast dust good point, the X58 system can still push 1080p 60 on medium/high for most things

little osprey
#

and the hybrid was because my hdd died, and at the time i had a $100 gift card, and i needed a new 1tb drive and didnt want another hdd

fast dust
#

Yep. Especially a six core Xeon. Even the older i7s are crazy good for their age

spiral zealot
#

yeah, and i might put a slight OC on it, just because the system I pulled most of the hardware from already had an AIO on it

little leaf
#

Also there is better ram imo

#

for a good price

fast dust
#

@little osprey you couldโ€™ve saved money and went with the Seagate 2TB 7.2k RPM normal HDD. You might have seen better performance as hybrid drives have a strange place in Pc building

little leaf
#

Ya

little osprey
#

the hdd was less than 2 years old, i didnt want another hdd

mortal rampart
little leaf
#

also ssd is way to expensive

mortal rampart
#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

and as i said i didnt buy most of the parts

mortal rampart
#

change whatever you want <33

#

oh

little osprey
mortal rampart
#

i thought you were gonna buy them*

little osprey
#

I just need a ROG mobo

#

Which I already plan buying either next week or the week after

mortal rampart
#

for the type c??

little osprey
#

No

#

I have the challenger s case

mortal rampart
#

ok

#

so

#

??

#

am i missing something??

little osprey
#

i have an asus router

#

and i want to pair them

mortal rampart
#

what will pairing them do??

#

you've got me so lost my guy

fast dust
#

Getting the same brand motherboard as your router doesnโ€™t really do anything... right?

mortal rampart
#

no

#

it doesnt

which is all advertising

#

and no real benefit

mortal rampart

^^^

viral ore
#

he has asked these same questions multiple times and gotten many answers, so just stop answering him

mortal rampart
#

lmao

#

he asked to inspect his build

#

so i did

viral ore
#

he has asked multiple times

little osprey
#

what question am i asking @viral ore

viral ore
#

you keep asking for help

#

and you dont really need help with anything

mortal rampart
#

but it seems like you dont want any

#

^^^

viral ore
#

so then people inspect your list, and tell you the exact same things

little osprey
#

I just asked for an opinion on a case

#

Kisuke was the one who asked to see my build

viral ore
#

either return everything, or just get the rog board, end of discuddion

little osprey
#

So I complied

viral ore
#

you already have a case

#

so why do you need an opinion

little osprey
#

Ik, but I've been told to get better

mortal rampart
#

its your choice at the end of the day

little osprey
#

I'm not allowed to upgrade a case?

mortal rampart
#

and idk why you keep sending the gc if you already have some of your stuff

viral ore
#

if you have been told to get better, stop asking people about your current case

royal sleet
#

can anybody help me with a build

#

Trying to hook up an SSD

little leaf
#

Sure

#

Which kind?

royal sleet
#

Samsung eco

#

little leaf
#

m.2?

royal sleet
#

My bad

#

Box says 860 who

#

Qvo*

little leaf
#

ok 2.5 inch ssd

royal sleet
#

Iโ€™m pretty sure

little leaf
#

plug in the sata cables

royal sleet
#

Ok one second

#

2 cables into the SSD?

#

Like the end of one into the SSD and the end of another?

little leaf
#

There should be a sata cable in the mobo box

royal sleet
#

Yea

#

I have 2 of them

little leaf
#

plug it into the motherboard

royal sleet
#

The SSD has 2 spots where things can be plugged one bigger than the other

#

Like itโ€™s plugged into the smaller one rn is that fine

little leaf
#

I don't know what you mean

royal sleet
#

oh nvm I got it then

#

Ok I plugged it into the mb

little leaf
#

Can you send a picture or video?

#

I don't get what you are saying?

royal sleet
#

Just dmd you a video

#

I was confused myself at first my bad

little leaf
#

There is a thing on your case labeled ssd

#

you can see it in you video

royal sleet
#

Yea

little leaf
#

also you need sata power

royal sleet
#

So another cord?

little leaf
#

yes

royal sleet

keen depot
#

So since my room has a carpeted floor, should I be building in a different room to avoid shocking anything?

#

I don't have any anti static things

fast dust
#

Acually it should be fine

#

Groud yourself before doing it tho

spiral zealot
#

just don't do the running man on the carpet before you start working on it

fast dust
#

lmao yeah

spiral zealot
#

and periodically re-ground yourself by touching some of the metal in the case or if you have a table leg or something

fast dust
#

Basically, @keen depot, touch metal, don't do running man, and you're good

little osprey
#

Never build with components on an anti static bag.

#

They allow electricity to flow along the outside (not the inside)

My Build
Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.4 GHz
16gb DDR4 Ram Corsair 3000MHZ
B450M Mobo
GCARD - 1050ti

i know my Graphics Card definatly needs to be replaced but do yall reckon i should do a full upgrade sooner or later?

#

later being most likely next year

#

as a gaming PC that is

fast dust
#

nope ur build is solid

#

Yep just replace the GPU (maybe with a 1650 super or even up to a 600 XT) and you're home free

dense oriole
#

i bought it about 2 years ago almost which has just shocked me as i checked my purchase history steveconfused but yeah just my Graphics Card - i was looking at around a 1080, or a 1080ti as a basis

fast dust
#

Might be bottlenecked by your CPU a bit if you get one of those

little osprey
#

Gigabyte 1660 Super

fast dust
#

5700 XT or RTX 2070 super would be the max I'd upgrade to

dense oriole
#

yeah but if i got a 1080, it would run fine and be ready for my next build? or not worth the bottleneck

fast dust
#

I mean yeah It'd be fine

#

But it's not like your build is bad or anything

#

You could stick with it and not upgrade for quite a few years

#

I mean other than the 1050 TI

dense oriole
#

hmm, my message didnt send?

fast dust
#

Was there a link in it?

dense oriole
#

nope

fast dust
#

was there an image in it?

dense oriole
#

nope

#

nothing unusual

cursive wharf
#

I feel like you can hold off until new Nvidia

fast dust
#

What was in it

#

Yeah you can wait until 3000 series launches

dense oriole
#

i was just saying i was gonna get my life stuff out the way then look at getting a build less than a year old at the time i was gonna buy everything

little osprey
#

Can't link until level 3

dense oriole
#

probably get it next year, so buy stuff from this year at the oldest

keen depot
#

Alright thanks

#

I'll also see if I can pick up an antistatic thing

dense oriole
#

i run everything fine now, most my games get 60-75 frames and its smooth, but would like to make it look sexy as can be

cursive wharf
#

idk if used prices will change tho. Took way too long for Pascal to drop to a "meh not that great but kinda works" price after Turing

#

still not as many good prices as there should be

dense oriole
#

well thanks for the advice, peace

little osprey
#

Those anti-static things are a joke

cursive wharf
#

Verge anti static wrist band?

little osprey
#

Well, that one especially, lol. I've never used one in all my builds, and never had an issue. Whereas my pedantic brother has used one ... and fried the system.

hasty echo
#

Hello all, my I9-9900 CPU says it uses DDR4-2666. I bought DDR4-3600. Will this be ok to use?

proven plank
potent prairie
#

I would say so. I have the case and think it is best suited for custom water-cooled builds as it doesn't have a ton of airflow.

It's pricey and meant for showcase builds. If you are going with normal cooling (non water-cooled) on the GPU, don't get a vertical mount.

#

It's a very nicely made metal case and a total beast. Since I put a hydrox loop in it, I have had no issues with thermals, but your mileage may vary

#

I love mine and would get it again tho

#

@hasty echo what do you mean "my cpu says it uses DDR4-2666"

totally random question not invloving pcs but whats a good caculator?
a scientific calculator
and just a calculator that can do like everything
is the ti-84 plus ce good lol?

sand falcon

That's a solid graphing calculator

sullen spoke
#

the ti 30x or something like that is a good scientific, ti 84 plus ce is a nice graphing calculator, the ti nspire is another great graphing calculator although the functions are set up a bit differently than the standard ti 84 so it might take time to learn @spiral flax

#

ti 92 tho KermitVader

dusky oak
#

Wow. Newegg doesnโ€™t allow build links from pcpartpicker. brainlet

#

@thorny bough You can get pretty much the latest tech with that much saved up. i9 9900ks, RTX 2080 super, and still have 1.3k left over for system components.

#

You can save even more if you go with a Ryzen cpu

Nothing you need to do if it's compatible

Especially with the price of the 9900k

#

@spiral flax the ti84s are nice, but I like my ti89 way better

If you have the budget its a really nice . Wouldn't go back to a ti84

Nah but crazy loop though

void raft
#

Thanks. That one took some time to perfect.

orchid canyon
#

@void raft i hope the crap i bought is uv reflective lol just gotta wait for it to come in the mail so i can build my cables as well

void raft
#

The cables, hardest part, is always getting the pins to sit just right. Learned my lesson a few times getting it all put together and realizing that I put a single strand backwards for the pins, so I had to undo it and reattach

tall mantle
#

I have to get a new case to run some custom loops, my talos e1 isnt exactly ideal

orchid canyon
#

@void raft eww... i'm hoping i can get away with doing one strand at a time

void raft
#

If you have the time, make sure to get some heat shrink and do the other cables too. Front I/O, Sata, Fans, the whole thing. Makes a world of difference.

orchid canyon
#

yeah i found some white shrink wrap to go with the white paracord, but then i was thinking its going to be alot of white so i'll probably do black heatshrink

void raft
#

I like to offset. If you have a soldering iron, you can usually get the paracord to seal around the end cap and then can attach the base of the pin around it to hold it in place with the cable.

orchid canyon
#

my soldering iron hrmmm

#

not sure it could do that lol its more for super fine soldering

#

but it might be able to generate enough heat if i crank it way up

@stoic island I havenโ€™t been keeping up on the latest cpus. Is that the most recent 0.05% performance increase from intel for an extra 1k$?

well actually

this time they got more cores in at the least

Itll be more like a 600 650 ish upgrade. Not 500 mb

Pretty decent build

little osprey
#

hellooo

#

question

#

would you rather choose a 60hz 1440p IPS no sync(Dell U2719D) 5ms flat monitor or a 144hz 1440p VA freesync(MSI MAG272CQR) 1ms curved monitor?

#

just a casual gamer

#

i know it depends but is IPS worth it for no sync and 60hz?

fast dust
#

Imo nah

#

I mean youโ€™re giving up way too much in the ips monitor

little osprey
#

so the MSI would be a better choice, there isnt that much of a difference in color quality between VA and IPS right?

#

both are 27'

#

besides the contrasts

potent prairie
#

If you have a rig that can handle higher refresh rates, I wouldn't waste it on a 60hz display. But if you do have the budget for an IPS, I personally like the colors over VA

little osprey
#

the rig is gonna be a r5 3600 and rx 5600 XT

#

i have a budget of 350-400 euros for the monitor

#

i dont think one can find a 144hz free sync 1440p IPS for less then 400

potent prairie
#

Isn't a 5600XT on the low end for 1440p?

#

I wouldn't imagine you would be taking advantage of a 144hz screen many games with that graphics card

little osprey
#

true but i will be playing some older games and possibly hell let loose or post scriptum

#

i dont really want a 1080p monitor

#

dont have a budget for rx 5700

potent prairie
#

That is fair. If you are for sure getting that rig and keeping it for a while, I'd say a 60hz monitor might not be the worse

#

You in the UK?

little osprey
#

nope eastern europe

#

cant really buy stuff on amazon and other online sites

#

it costs too much

#

will have to buy in the local stores

#

so you would get the IPS one instead (Dell U2719D)?

potent prairie
#

@foggy path is that a OptiPlex 9010?

@little osprey I would personally, but it's up to you and your own preferances

foggy path
#

@potent prairie yes it is

potent prairie
#

Ay, I have that same model

#

As a minecraft server not my own rig

#

Solid machine if you throw in some decent ram and a goodish gpu

honest ridge
#

Hey ive got about a $350 budget and im trying to get a new CPU and mother board for my old PC

#

any suggestions

potent prairie
#

What do you have already?

errant night
#

Use pcpartpicker

#

And put in what you already have

potent prairie
#

That would be helpful.

foggy path
#

I'm going to have to figure out how tf to get drives and a gpu in this little thing

honest ridge
#

Sorry I have a
AMD FX 8320 (cpu)
Radeon RX 480 (gpu)

sand falcon
#

Do you want new ram too?

errant night
#

What memory

honest ridge
#

i have 16gb old and 16gb new

#

my mother board is some random brand idek what it is

errant night
#

Send a picture

little osprey
#

@potent prairie alright thanks for the help mate

honest ridge
#

i cant rn

#

My mother board is some random one

#

ill get back to you XD

errant night
#

Ok when can you send a pic

sand falcon
#

That's actually a decent cpu for the time

#

Looks like you'll have to get new ram though

honest ridge
#

It was prebuilt

#

Iโ€™ve got plenty of ram

sand falcon
#

It's old ram though, so it won't work with new cpu's

honest ridge
#

ive got 32 gb of ram

sand falcon
#

It's DDR3 though, new CPUs use DDR4

honest ridge
#

i thought DDR was the motherboard

#

not the ram?

sand falcon
#

It's the ram

honest ridge
#

well screw me

#

thats fine tho

sand falcon
#

The motherboard supports the ram

#

If you want to keep that ram, we'll have to find an old/used CPU

little leaf
#

@honest ridge whats the budget for your pc upgrade?

sand falcon
#

Good news is a 16GB kit of DDR4 only costs $60 or so

honest ridge
#

Ok cool

slender owl
#

As cheap as possible while being able to stream and game is what he wants

slender owl
#

400-500w psu should be fine?

little leaf
#

idk about the monitor

potent prairie
#

I'd go for a 550w, just so you have some overhead from the tdp

#

Maybe 650w if he/she wants more room for upgrades

honest ridge
#

@honest ridge whats the budget for your pc upgrade?
@little leaf like 350

little leaf
#

Then you can get a 3300x ds3h and 16gb of gskill or tforce

honest ridge
#

motherboard and ram @little leaf

#

?

little leaf
#

nvm out of stock

stoic island
#

ds3h was back ordered?

#

it went full oos?

little leaf
#

ye

stoic island
#

riip

little leaf
#

At least for me

#

Nope nvm found it in stock @stoic island

stoic island
#

still backordered on b&h for me

little leaf
#

ye It wasnโ€™t loading on my phone

honest ridge
#

what Cpu would you recommend

#

i want to be able to stream and game

stoic island
#

Stream matters more on GPU

#

If you have a Nvidia GPU, nvenc makes it simple

#

AMD GPU requires you to have more CPU power for streaming afaik

little leaf
#

For an extra 100 ish you can get a 1650s

#

I mean 100 ish over your budget

stoic island
#

Could do only GPU upgrade and grab a 2060

#

It's an option

little leaf
#

If want to upgrade all

honest ridge
#

@little leaf thats what youd suggest?

little leaf
#

I mean it has nvec

#

Which helps streaming

honest ridge
#

Do you think i could get by without the Gpu upgrade

little leaf
#

If you want to stream

#

I think the gou upgrade would be good

honest ridge
#

it looks fine as it is

#

but

#

if i wait another week and a half i could probably go for it

little leaf
#

Its also a small amount better in games

honest ridge
#

yea

#

but is it worth the 160 buck

#

and is the cpu good enough?

little leaf
#

The cpu is better than a 7700k

honest ridge
#

ok also in the link you sent it says there is compatibility issues

little leaf
#

It wont need bios update

honest ridge
#

ok

#

also i have work so i have to leave

#

if theres anything else you can DM me or say it here and ill read it later

Hello

thorny bough
#

So i9 10900k, RTX 2080 super, and then what motherboard should I look for?

potent prairie
#

You planning to OC?

thorny bough
#

Currently Iโ€™m running an i7 9700, RTX 2070 super

#

Looking for some major upgrades

#

Yes primary use is for gaming so Iโ€™m looking for the best performance

#

Currently I have no OC capabilities & would like to be able to

potent prairie
#

You'll obviously need a LGA1200 socket. For OC, the best of intel is the Z490 chipset

thorny bough
#

Any brand you recommend the most?

granite delta
#

Can someone tell me a good affordable wifi adapter

potent prairie
#

I like ROG, but they have crappy service according to many. But it's good advice to buy the product, not the brand. Look for the a board that has the features you value, but balance it with whatever budget you have. Look at reviews, etc. If you are going for pure value, the asus TUF line is generally pretty good... but again, service not so much

thorny bough
#

Iโ€™m new to all this and my first build was terribly done and would like to start from scratch! $3000-$3500 budget

potent prairie
#

You could probably get a 2080 ti or 3080 ti with that budget

thorny bough
#

ROG Strix?

potent prairie
#

Yeah, it's my mobo brand of choice. But not good if you like RMAing

thorny bough
#

What are the key benefits of going with a 2080 super vs 2080 ti

potent prairie
#

2080 ti is 12GB vs 8 GB

#

Plus core count and all that

#

@granite delta
USB or PCIe

deep skiff
#

:v Iโ€™d say the main difference is the core count

granite delta
#

@granite delta
USB or PCIe
@potent prairie usb

potent prairie
#

Fair enough lol

granite delta
#

Or which ever one is better for the money

potent prairie
#

@granite delta Go on Amazon or Newegg, search for 802.11ac usb dongle. Find the cheapest from a reputable brand (I wouldn't get some knockoff one from china). If you want, go on eBay and see if you can find one there (but in generally eBay is flooded with cheap stuff that is advertised at ratings that are probably not accurate)

You might be fine with either b/c reviews look very good. But amazon reviews are not always to be trusted

#

Iโ€™ll give it a shot

#

Thanks man

potent prairie
#

Np. Just do a speed test when you get it

#

If something seem unreasonably low, you can always return it

granite delta
#

Which of the two you prefer?

potent prairie
#

I'd get the cheaper one w/ more reviews.

potent prairie

Don't ask to ask, just ask ๐Ÿ™‚

little osprey
#

should i remove the sticker?

#

#

joseph !#6912 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

potent prairie
#

That sticker often acts as a heatspreader. Plus, removing it will void your warranty.

keen depot
#

@little osprey screw it on

Done

little osprey
#

yea

sand falcon
#

@keen depot Not all CPU coolers screw in

keen depot
#

Most of them are

#

Plus the joke works best if it's over simplified

sand falcon
#

TBH, None of the CPU coolers I've dealt with have screwed in

#

12 or so have had a latch on the top, two a latch on the side, three those weird twisting latches, and one was pasted right to the CPU and wasn't connected to the motherboard at all

Hello, everyone. I am looking to build my first PC build and I am wondering if micro motherboards would be a good choice for a budget build.

#

and what should I get for that budget build.

sand falcon
#

Micro motherboards are good

#

What is your budget and what will you be doing with the computer?

lyric thistle
#

Depends, sometimes the mATX variant is more expensive, sometimes the ATX variant is more expensive...but I think that might be more noticeable in used parts

bright notch
#

around the 1k limit. and a lot of gaming, but I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on it since it would be my first build

sand falcon
#

1k will actually get you a pretty decent build.

bright notch
#

1k would be my limit, but would a micro board be okay for a decent gaming computer?

sand falcon
#

Yup

#

If 1k is the limit, what would your "ideal" price be?

bright notch
#

probably $800ish I am really helping to reduce to

#

*hoping

sand falcon
#

Sounds good. Do you need CUDA?

bright notch
#

no. I don't need atm. Possible down the road.

sand falcon
#

Okay. Do you need wifi?

bright notch
#

Yes

sand falcon
#

Dang

#

Why so many people be needing wifi ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

The world is a cruel place

bright notch
#

I am sorry D:

sand falcon
#

It's fine lol

#

It just seems like more often then not, the people that could actually use ethernet don't have access to ethernet

bright notch
#

my dad lives with me and he is also a network guy, so he doesn't want network cables going around the place

sand falcon
#

Okay

bright notch
#

also that.

#

we don't have ethernet outlets

sand falcon
#

You wouldn't by any chance have a pcie wifi adapter on hand then, would you?

bright notch
#

I believe I do. I have to get it from the storage closet

sand falcon
#

Really? Is it any good?
