[stoic island]

make the thing and copy this link

no need to save it as your own list or anything

@next sigil also, need a monitor or no

[next sigil]

Thanks @stoic island..

We are actully looking at a Samsung 27" monitor..

Already got that priced out.. 🙂

[stoic island]

kk

27in 1080p isn't great

24in 1080p is ideal

and 27in 1440p is ideal

with 32in 1440p not being great

[thick gorge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jzQyn7

Look at this list

[stoic island]

oop

dat pricing tho

[thick gorge]

Mine says $1480

lmao

[stoic island]

anyways, ram high latency, 970evo overpriced, RM750 out of stock

case overpriced

gpu currently overpriced

[thick gorge]

Yeah this is not too specific, it outlines the type of parts he should use

[sand falcon]

I think I remember seeing some 3600 CL16 for 80 bucks recently

[stoic island]

I just hate h510 :P

[thick gorge]

GPU is not overpriced

[stoic island]

mhm

that model is

[thick gorge]

$499 for 2070 super

[stoic island]

661$

Best buy has it out of stock

click on it

[sand falcon]

Yeah

[stoic island]

:P

[sand falcon]

The H510i is very cliche, and the airflow isn't great

[thick gorge]

Hold on Imma make a better one

[stoic island]

all looks little airflow :P

[sand falcon]

I'm pretty sure my mATX case has better airflow

[stoic island]

mine mostly likely has better airflow

focus g

[sand falcon]

DIYPC MA08

Cable management is not great

[thick gorge]

meshify c?

[sand falcon]

A good case

[thick gorge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fyGkQq

Hows this

[stoic island]

Meshify c good with extra fans

stock is meh

why not mp34 :P

cheaper

PSU still out of stock at best buy :P

[next sigil]

You guys are giving us some good info here.. We greatly appreciate it.

[fading delta]

Seriously. Thanks guys

[thick gorge]

ok

I'll put in a different psu

[little osprey]

will a three fan gpu fit on an atx motherboard?

[sand falcon]

Yes

You might check the case though

[stoic island]

that doesn't matter with the motherboard, just the case

[little osprey]

the cas is an ATX Full Tower

[stoic island]

the PCIe slot is standardized

[thick gorge]

Are coolermaster psu bad

[stoic island]

depends on model

MWE Gold is good

[thick gorge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9sw3YH

[sand falcon]

@little osprey Case sizes aren't standard beyond a absoluste bare minimum size.

[thick gorge]

This has the correct psu

[little osprey]

I think i am planning on buying this one :ASRock B550 EXTREME4 AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

[stoic island]

... still out of stock lmfao

[little osprey]

Is the ryzen 5 3600x good with graphics and adobe softwares?

[stoic island]

really gotta manually check for best buy

[little osprey]

ok

[thick gorge]

is the crucial p1 good

[little osprey]

how is the motherboard still out of stock? they just came back in stock

[sand falcon]

He was talking about the PSU

For productivity stuff, you might consider getting more cores if you can afford it, but 3600 should be just fine. The 3600x doesn't really give that much improvement for the price

[little osprey]

ok thank you

[sand falcon]

Just double check your case size and GPU length

[little osprey]

I think I can afford more cores like the 7 3700x

[next sigil]

So let me ask you guys this about RAM..

[steady kernel]

I'm looking at the Fractal Design Ion+ 560P 80 PLUS Platinum Certified 560W and ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming MB and Newegg's Build a PC tool let's me select them together but a different online took says "The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Fractal Design Ion+ 560 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."

so will they work together?

[next sigil]

Does the RAM speed need to match what the CPU says or as long as the MB supports it it's fine?

[little osprey]

i think it needs to match but i am not sure

[thick gorge]

Literally every psu is sold out at best buy

[little osprey]

oh wow

[thick gorge]

only low powered ones are available

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7tjGZf

How is this

[sand falcon]

@next sigil It depends on exactly what CPU. I believe all the most recent gen CPUs will support at least 3600MHz

[little osprey]

so is ryzen better than intel?

[sand falcon]

@little osprey If you can afford the 3700x without having to get a lower tier GPU, do so

[little osprey]

ok

[thick gorge]

Yes it is better for almost every pricepoint

[sand falcon]

It depends on what you're doing. Intel is better for gamers with no budget, amd is better for basically anything else

[little osprey]

i have a budget of $1500

[next sigil]

@sand falcon I was looking at Rayzen 5 3600.. It says Memory type is DDR4 3200.. Will it be OK to still go with 3600 RAM?

[sand falcon]

That's probably still AMD territory

@next sigil That will be fine

[thick gorge]

Yeah the 3600 supports 3600 speed ram

whoah coincedence

[next sigil]

Thanks.. I was asking this last night and was getting very unuseful answers.

[sand falcon]

If for some bizzare reason it can't run the ram, you can always run it below max speed

[thick gorge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7tjGZf

This build is just under $1500

If you can try to get a better psu

Their mostly sold out, so ur gonna have to do some digging

@next sigil

@sand falcon any thoughts

[little osprey]

thank you

[next sigil]

@thick gorge Thanks for the info.

[little osprey]

the ryzen cpu says is supports ddr4 3200 but I wanted to origionally get a ddr4 4400

[thick gorge]

np

[sand falcon]

Don't go 4400, ryzen can't handle that fast

[little osprey]

would 3600 be fine?

[sand falcon]

Also, why the P1 @thick gorge?

[thick gorge]

It was one of the lowest priced ones

Someone else told me to switch another one out for the p1

[sand falcon]

You'd be better off with the mp34. The crucial P1 is QLC, which means lower speeds and it wears out faster

[thick gorge]

ok

[little osprey]

ok

[thick gorge]

I think @next sigil is gonna look into it

[sand falcon]

@little osprey 3600 ram will be just fine

[little osprey]

ok thank you. this is the ssd I had origionally had on my list:Pioneer SE20G M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) APS-SE20G

it was the fastest one I could also find

and one of the cheapest

[sand falcon]

There are far faster than that

[little osprey]

ok

[sand falcon]

How much is it?

[little osprey]

$130. is the intel ssd compatable with the ryzen.

ryzen cpu

[sand falcon]

The intel SSD is also QLC

[little osprey]

ok

[sand falcon]

How much is the Western Digital SN750 right now?

[little osprey]

$80

[sand falcon]

That's for 512GB or 1TB?

[little osprey]

500gb

[sand falcon]

Okay

[little osprey]

1 tb is $134

gb

[sand falcon]

It looks like it's the same price as the pioneer then

tb was right

[little osprey]

ya

oops

is the windows 10 pro OS better than the apple OS? Just curious because I am currently looking into apple but realized that their app store has like 1% of the amount of apps microsoft windows has

[next sigil]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ChewyMonster/saved/#view=kcGK3C

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hpjGZf

[stoic island]

okay so

2070 super is quite a bit better than the 2070

that powersupply is way overpriced

WD blue is sata, much slower than NVMe drives near the price

Ram can be better in terms of frequency

[next sigil]

I'm updating it now.. Thanks for your input @stoic island

[terse yew]

So, I want to start saving for an actual gaming PC, because as of now I'm stuck with a sort of weak Laptop. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently looking at saving for this: https://www.newegg.com/clx/p/3D5-000B-000K5?Item=3D5-000B-000K5

[little osprey]

You should build your own because everything you want is in it and it is cheaper to build your own

[terse yew]

I've built one online for around the same and it was higher than this spec, which is currently my ideal tower

[little osprey]

oh

[terse yew]

Also what's a good monitor?

[little osprey]

that is what i am trying to figure out too. It depends though on what you are doing

[terse yew]

I'm going to be gaming and editing videos

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-0031-001Z6

this is what i might get

[terse yew]

Pretty much the base plan

[little osprey]

i am still thinking

[terse yew]

You getting one or two?

[little osprey]

one

[terse yew]

holy crap
https://www.newegg.com/plasma-copper-armor-titanium-asus-rog-swift-pg27uq-27/p/N82E16824236885

[little osprey]

this is what i was looking at for a while but it is pretty excpensive

LG 4K UHD 27UD88-W 27" LED-Lit Monitor with USB Type-C

on amazon

[terse yew]

I don't want to make the transition USB Type-C just yet

[little osprey]

ok but just because something is excpensive doesnt always mean it is the best or it will perform the best

[terse yew]

yeah

https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-kg281k-bmiipx-um-px1aa-004-28/p/N82E16824011321?&quicklink=true

this is a pretty good one

[next sigil]

@stoic island How's this look?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x3tWQq

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-kg281k-bmiipx-um-px1aa-004-28/p/N82E16824011321?&quicklink=true

i will take a look into this

[terse yew]

Its cheaper than the Phillips and it seems like its better

[little osprey]

yeah

[terse yew]

I would get two of these

[timber rose]

I personally don't buy retail Microsoft OS licenses

[little osprey]

ok

[timber rose]

You can get codes for 15-25$

[little osprey]

thank you

[terse yew]

I've got one just lying around

[timber rose]

Invest the money you save in a better graphics card

[terse yew]

Yes that is a good plan

[little osprey]

ok thank you

[terse yew]

Bro yes 😂
https://www.newegg.com/p/1BK-01HP-00001

[little osprey]

that is hillarious

[terse yew]

Quite

[little osprey]

i need it

[terse yew]

It even has LED lighting 😂

[little osprey]

i am getting it

[terse yew]

Overkill headset stand
https://www.newegg.com/black-corsair-st100/p/N82E16826816084

Name a good gaming keyboard

[little osprey]

Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard with 16.8 Million Lighting Colors

that is the one i might get

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16823126473

[terse yew]

My current RedDragon is good but the built in wrist rest isn't

[little osprey]

oh

https://www.newegg.com/microsoft-natural-4000-b2m-00012-usb-wired/p/N82E16823109148

look at that goofy one

it is really comfortable though

[terse yew]

holy crap

I personally would never get it

[little osprey]

me neither

[honest ridge]

ive got $300 and want to upgrade my cpu and mother board (and i think ram too). I have a AMD FX 8320. any suggestions?

[terse yew]

How aout headphones? HunterSpider ripped me off so I wont buy from them again

@honest ridge what's your ram at right now?

[honest ridge]

i have 16gb old and 16 gb new

so 32 total

[sand falcon]

@honest ridge DDR3 or DDR4?

[honest ridge]

i think its DDR3

anyway i could find out rn?

[terse yew]

Ah ok. I wouldn't upgrade my RAM further because I have 32GB RAM MMR4

But maybe to upgrade to DDR4

[sand falcon]

Easiest way would be to check what gen the CPU uses, but I'm pretty sure it's ddr3

[honest ridge]

i think so too

[sand falcon]

Do you need wifi?

[honest ridge]

wym?

[sand falcon]

Does the motherboard need to be able to connect to wifi

[honest ridge]

i use an ethernet cabel to connect it if thats what you mean

[sand falcon]

Cool

[terse yew]

I wish I could use an Ethernet cable. I'm too far from a port

[honest ridge]

i got a long one and ran it through our attic

[next kestrel]

100ft CAT6 cable 🙂

[terse yew]

Dang 😂

[sand falcon]

How much over 300 can you go?

[honest ridge]

id prefer not to but about 100

[sand falcon]

How's 313?

[terse yew]

I've got a pretty good list as of now
https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/md/30352134

[honest ridge]

oh thats fine

[terse yew]

Just under $3k

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FzkgdX
You can probably get it cheaper if things go on sale, but here's what I got

@terse yew The list is private. Is there anyway you can share it?

[terse yew]

Really? I just put it as ppublic

[honest ridge]

bob would that be good for streaming and gaming too?

[sand falcon]

Depends what GPU

[terse yew]

4 Item(s) in your shopping cart: $2,463.96

[honest ridge]

my gpu is old but it works and looks fine when i stream now

[sand falcon]

yeah, I can't see it. Is there a share button or anything?

[honest ridge]

its a radeon rx 480

[sand falcon]

@honest ridge If your old system streams, this one will stream better

You might actually consider upgrading your GPU now and CPU later. idk

[honest ridge]

ok heres my situation

I play Rocket league a lot and on my PC it has frame drop and lag. but on my laptop there is no lag using the same ether net cord. do you know what that issue might be?

[sand falcon]

It will either be GPU or CPU, I'm not sure which it will be though

[terse yew]

Does NewEgg have gaming desks on it?

[honest ridge]

i figured im due for an upgrade anyway

[sand falcon]

Yeah

[honest ridge]

what if i trade the Ryzen 5 for a Ryzen 3 3300

[sand falcon]

Should be fine

[honest ridge]

i think thats the other one i was looking at

its like 50 bucks cheaper

[sand falcon]

3300x out preforms the 7700k

If you can find it in stock, get it

[honest ridge]

ok ill look

[terse yew]

My GPU goes up to 90% in games so I'm due for an upgrade as well

[sand falcon]

What GPU? The 980?

[honest ridge]

aw pcparkpicker is down

[potent prairie]

So does mine. Some games reserve GPU space I think

[terse yew]

I'll sell my gaming laptop for $3k because I've gotten offers that high, and I'll sell my brand new iPad which I don't use, and that should cover the prices, sales tax, and shipping

[sand falcon]

That's like a 4000 dollar budget. Are you Australian?

[terse yew]

Nope

I'm a Californian

And its around $3.3K

Can someone link me a good desk on NewEgg?

[sand falcon]

Ikea desks are pretty nice

[terse yew]

Very true

[honest ridge]

😦

[little osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T9ZWJ49/ref=twister_B083JTTDBF?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

those are the fans I am getting

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077SJ4ZKV/ref=twister_B083JTTDBF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

i mean those

[little osprey]

does anyone think they can get this to 1200?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yhJkQq

[cloud drum]

Don't buy a separate cooler

Use the default one

[lime forge]

start by getting non rgb ram, use the stock cooler and ditch the coolermaster one, get a cheaper case

get a b550 board

instead of x570

[cloud drum]

Don't use the 3600x

Use the non x

[lime forge]

3600x comes with a better cooler

so id recommend

[cloud drum]

Oh ok

[lime forge]

also you could save a bit going for a 512gb ssd instead of the 1tb

[cloud drum]

You could get a SATA SSD

They're less expensive

[lime forge]

i dont reccomend

speed difference is huge

[cloud drum]

They're not much slower than m.2

[lime forge]

iirc sata 3 maxes out 500mbps, and even my cheap intel 660p goes at 1800mbps

better m2 ssds go at like 3000 or even 4000

so that plus the hassle you save not having to run another sata and sata power cable makes it worth

imo

[cloud drum]

Ok

[agile bear]

That’s rated speeds but rated speeds don’t make much difference in day to day tasks

Unless you are constantly doing file transfers sata is perfectly acceptable for system drive and some games

But that nvme is about the same price as a 1tb sata so you are probably fine

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ws8tp

Here’s my edit

[potent prairie]

That ssd is QLC, I would pay the extra $7 to get an mp34 w/ TLC

Plus the mp34 is faster with r/w

Also that PSU concerns me... no model #

[little leaf]

@agile bear I wouldn't use that psu

and that ssd is great either

[agile bear]

Why not?

[little leaf]

psu might be a plastic explosive

[potent prairie]

Yh

[little leaf]

and the ssd is slower than others for the price

[agile bear]

It’s 80+ which means it meets certification

[little leaf]

just barely

[agile bear]

It’s just not as efficient

[sand falcon]

Doesn't mean it won't go off bang

[potent prairie]

^

[little leaf]

^

[agile bear]

It’s not an unbranded psu

Its backed by EVGA

[potent prairie]

Doesn't mean it's good

[little leaf]

Doesn't mean its good

[sand falcon]

But it doesn't say which PSU it is

Like this could be any EVGA PSU

[potent prairie]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KYx9Dx

[little leaf]

I wouldn't use a cv though

and why the 3600x

[sand falcon]

Yeah, just do 3600

[potent prairie]

I just modifed the list meow had to have a somewhat ok psu and a good ssd

[little leaf]

is he video editing?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dm98tp

because I just made is not a 3600 and a txm

[sand falcon]

I like that

[agile bear]

Just go intel

(Is a joke)

[sand falcon]

Okay

good

[little leaf]

you could go intel if you just want to game

[potent prairie]

You could do a CX 650 grey $20 less tho

[sand falcon]

https://www.evga.com/products/specs/psu.aspx?pn=ffee59fd-9d7c-411c-a23d-c5a0a61dde2d
Found the specs sheet for that no-name evga PSU

[potent prairie]

It's d-tier

[sand falcon]

It's pretty bad

[little leaf]

thats pretty bad

[agile bear]

Just use it for threadripper lol

[sand falcon]

That's gonna brown out

Also, it's really noisy

It's rated for 24-26dBA

[little leaf]

I kinda overspent on my psu

[agile bear]

Power supply go brrrrrr

I got an open box gold psu

[sand falcon]

That's the electrical noise I think, not the audible

[potent prairie]

I got an AX1200i for $100 😛

[little leaf]

@potent prairie used?

[potent prairie]

Floor model. Open box

[little leaf]

damn

I just got an rmx 850

[potent prairie]

No cables, but great deal

[agile bear]

Open box deals are killer

[potent prairie]

Yeah

[agile bear]

I saw a 2080ti for like 900 once

[little leaf]

I spent 140 bucks on my psu :/

[potent prairie]

I got my 2080ti for 1k with tax, also open box

[little leaf]

damnn

[potent prairie]

EVGA XC Ultra from warehouse deals

[sand falcon]

2700x for 170

[agile bear]

I wish I waited for 3900x sales before I got my 3700

[potent prairie]

I wish I had waited for 3080ti and zen 3

[little leaf]

same

[sand falcon]

I want to see zen4

[agile bear]

I think I’m just gonna do a new build for my next upgrade

[woeful pumice]

Hi guys. Building a PC. AMD fanboy with a $720 hard limit. Suggestions?

[cursive wharf]

@sand falcon 24 - 26dBa is quite quiet for a PSU

Loud is going over 40dBa at more then moderate loads

[woeful pumice]

ewe hm.. my build is more than a little over budget at $1K...

[sand falcon]

For electrical noise? That seems horrible

[cursive wharf]

Where do you find electrical noise rating for a PSU? Talking about just general noise rn

[sand falcon]

It was on the spec sheet

[cursive wharf]

Doesn't say electrical noise, just standard noise which includes fan noise

[potent prairie]

It wouldn't be great if a PSU sounded like a taser

[sand falcon]

Wouldn't it?

🤔

I am liking this idea

It's a pity it's so much longer to april fools

[cursive wharf]

Scare off anyone that tries to break into your place

[potent prairie]

Tase anybody who tries to disassemble your rig

[sand falcon]

Michael Reeves would be proud

[potent prairie]

You might need those insulating pads lol

[sand falcon]

Hrm?

[potent prairie]

Don't want your PSU/taser to short out

Lol, they still have the article up: https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/13/17828092/gaming-pc-build-custom-how-to-asus-intel-geforce-cost

[sand falcon]

What's fun is to have a number pad to unlock the power button and turn your computer on. If you enter the wrong code, dump 120VAC directly to the mobo and a electromagnetic coil wrapped around the harddrive

[potent prairie]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about

[sand falcon]

First off, you are handling parts that draw several hundred watts of the power, so don’t ever touch the parts with the system powered on.

Meh

Just gets toasty

Oh my gosh, I had never actually seen the insides of this thing

Where are the wifi antennas?

[woeful pumice]

e.e guess I'm on my own here..

[potent prairie]

If you need help, ask away

[sand falcon]

You sometimes will have to ask more than once if we're in a conversation. Sorry about that

[woeful pumice]

No worries.. trying to build an AMD based PC from scratch.

$720 hard budget though.

[sand falcon]

No parts that can be reused at all?

[woeful pumice]

Negative. Unfortunately.

[sand falcon]

Will you need wifi?

[woeful pumice]

Yep

[sand falcon]

No way at all to use ethernet? It will be 30-50 dollars cheaper

It's also faster

[woeful pumice]

My thought atm is going with a ryzen 3400G and suffering a bit in the graphics department for a while to save money.. unfortunately, to use ethernet would need about 20-25 feet of cable at least and some inventive snaking.

[sand falcon]

Darn. No way to move the router?

[woeful pumice]

Nope. This house is from the late 70s, and where the router was installed, it sits lol.

[sand falcon]

Okay. When are you looking at buying this? Supply is really bad with covid, so prices are high rn

[woeful pumice]

Asap. Just got money from a GoFundMe and I got people waiting on me to get a proper desktop.

[sand falcon]

Okay. What will you be doing with the system?

[woeful pumice]

Gaming primarily.

[sand falcon]

What games?

[woeful pumice]

GTA, Skyrim, American Truck Sim. Maybe some Forza.

[sand falcon]

So nothing too rough to run

I don't actually know about the Truck Sim, but I can't imagine it will be crazy

Can you put the PC in the same room as the router?

[woeful pumice]

Nah. Has GTA level graphics, thereabouts

It won't be the same room. Maybe 10-15 geet at most.

[sand falcon]

Okay

[woeful pumice]

Extra 10 feet on the ethernet cord would be the snaking lol

[sand falcon]

Wifi is expensive as crap right now 😦

I wish the 3300x was in stock

Are you in the states?

[woeful pumice]

Yup

[stoic island]

:P

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bHqhzN

680$ 3600+1650s

[potent prairie]

Ooo, you fast

👏 gg

[stoic island]

if you could get 3300x you can get 1660s prob

[woeful pumice]

Nice. Bit of room leftover there for me to upgrade the storage too - I download a lot of games. My PS4 is at capacity with 500GB lol

Ty

[stoic island]

hmm

could go cv550w instead of cx450

bit more upgradability

slightly worse pssu

[woeful pumice]

Will the mobo need a bios update btw?

[stoic island]

shouldn't

3300x+1660s 680$
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x3WfTC

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rKndhg
3600+580

[stoic island]

730$ if you slap 3600 in there

tho 580 kinda weak nowadays

I'd get 1650s over 580

[sand falcon]

Okay, they're the same price, so it's an easy swap

[woeful pumice]

The boomer in me winces whenever I see a smaller CPU despite knowing the graphics cards are more important for modern games lol.

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sFYLmg

3300x is compareable to the 7700k

[woeful pumice]

Oh. Nifty.

Although I like how the newegg disc seems to universally use pcpartpicker over newegg PC builder. Kek.

[stoic island]

hdd only tho

oh wait

read wrong

that works

Newegg pc builder needs work still

[potent prairie]

Yeah

[stoic island]

mainly with custom parts and parts from other sites

[weary galleon]

How do you send pcpartpicker links here

[stoic island]

magic

[weary galleon]

:/

[potent prairie]

You should just be able to do it...

PCPP is supposed to be whitelisted

[weary galleon]

pcpartpicker.com/list/6WKcDx

Guess that works kinda

^Theres more storage, better PSU and mobo

[potent prairie]

Crucial P1 is QLC. If you can afford it, get the mp34

[stoic island]

ye

[weary galleon]

To allow for GPU upgrade in the future

[stoic island]

cxm isn't exactly better

coil whine

[weary galleon]

Oh yeah didn’t notice the QLC

[potent prairie]

yh

[stoic island]

also look out for best buy :P

[potent prairie]

Yh lol, best buy bad

[stoic island]

out of stock at 95$

so is aorus elite

so its 900$ if you bought it now :P

P1/P2 is also fairly slow compared to MP34 and the rest of the good NVMe drives

[sand falcon]

I would go for 256 mp34 + 1TB HDD over 1TB P1

[potent prairie]

And QLC 🤮

[sand falcon]

QLC is okay if you get it really cheap

[stoic island]

I'd go 256 mp34+2tb HDD, or 512gb mp34 + upgradability in the future

[potent prairie]

Yeah

But still

[stoic island]

its just 50$ for barracuda 2tb, not exactly hard to get

qlc is slow, less reliability, it's the least ideal :P

[woeful pumice]

Was about to ask what was wrong with QLC lol. Ty.

[sand falcon]

Tried the 2TB, 3.70 over budget. Trying to ix that now

[woeful pumice]

ssd lingo is still a little confusing for me lol

[potent prairie]

QLC = 4 bits per cell

TLC = 3

[stoic island]

slc = 1

[potent prairie]

MLC = 2

[stoic island]

and I think it was mlc

ye

[woeful pumice]

So smaller is better?

[stoic island]

ye

[sand falcon]

I though QLC was 5?

[stoic island]

quad level cell

[potent prairie]

Less bits per cell is faster

And more durable as you write to a cell less often

[sand falcon]

Ah, that use of Q

[stoic island]

why the hell is TLC called triple layered cell and QLC Quad leveled cell

:P

[woeful pumice]

Okay. So what's the performance difference between a 7200RPM HDD and, say, a QLC SSD?

[stoic island]

basically

100mb/s read write vs 3000mb/s read write

[sand falcon]

HDD slow, QLC fast but crap

[potent prairie]

Yea

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sZjJ3t
3600, 1650s, 2TB HDD

[stoic island]

well QLC only really gets like 1500mb/s read write

TLC gets 3000mb/s and upwards

[potent prairie]

But still, both are way better than a hhd

The naming of mlc is stupid

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vyZFDx
Same as before, but has 512GB ssd

[stoic island]

For example, P1 1tb is rated for up to 2000mb/s read 1700mb/s write.
MP34 1tb is rated for up to 3000mb/s read 2600mb/s write

[desert gulch]

Do I need an additional 4 pin for x570 and r5 3600?

[stoic island]

Extra cpu 4 pin? no

[desert gulch]

Ok

[sand falcon]

You don't need x570 for 3600 either

[desert gulch]

I don't plan to overclock

[stoic island]

You won't ever need it for 3rd gen ryzen

[sand falcon]

Then just get b450

[desert gulch]

I want expand at some point

[stoic island]

unless you're OCing a 3950x

[desert gulch]

4th gen stuff

[sand falcon]

Then get b550

[potent prairie]

Well, you don't need to

[stoic island]

(I mean they promised b450 compatibility with 4th gen lol)

[sand falcon]

Though 4th gen should work on b450

If the mobo manufacturers add it

[potent prairie]

Depends if the mobo brand sends a bios update, yh

[woeful pumice]

Double checking. That mobo has wifi right, bob?

[stoic island]

agh wifi

no

grab a wireless adapter

[woeful pumice]

QQ I hate being reliant on wifi. It's a stock router too, so the wifi connection itself tends to be crap.

[sand falcon]

Crap, I forgot that

Rip 512GB SSD

[woeful pumice]

"Disconnected from game session due to unknown network error"

ewe

[stoic island]

https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rnx-ac1200pcev2-pci-express/p/N82E16833166134

smth like that

[woeful pumice]

Nifty. Thx.

[sand falcon]

Should the TP-Link one work you think?

[stoic island]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZwKcDx

this list plus that adapter works

too lazy to put custom part

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2LHRmg

Kept the HDD

[stoic island]

just a 802.11n adapter?

:P

[sand falcon]

I mean, if it's a old stock router, you won't need more

[woeful pumice]

Would the stock fan on the 5 be good for any kind of overclocking?

[stoic island]

no

not manual at least

pbo is fine

[agile bear]

You can get a 500gb ssd for that price

[sand falcon]

Ryzen overclocks itself pretty much

TLC or QLC?

[woeful pumice]

ewe well. It's the GPU that would need the oc more if I had to guess.

Tbh I'd need it to be at least 1TB of storage. That said, i dont mind the fatter ssd's.. what are they? Are those still called SATA?

[stoic island]

why 1tb

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7FyVvW
Here's a better wifi still with 1TB

[stoic island]

just curious

[agile bear]

You can get like a WD blue for only like 15 bucks more with 512

[stoic island]

didn't you say you had another 500gb disk?

[woeful pumice]

I download a lot of games. My PS4 is full at 500GB, I'd hate to see how quick my PC would eat it

[sand falcon]

WD Blue is sata

[stoic island]

ye

[woeful pumice]

My 500 gig disk is in my ps4

[agile bear]

They have a nvme blue with 500 gb

[stoic island]

???

[agile bear]

At least on Amazon it’s on sale for 65

[stoic island]

which one

[woeful pumice]

Hm. I like this build, bob. It's nice.

[stoic island]

what model

like sn550?

[agile bear]

WD Blue SN550 500GB NVMe Internal SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 2,400 MB/s - WDS500G2B0C https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YFF3JCN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rDp.EbHHZVPCC

Ye

[potent prairie]

SN550 has no dram

[stoic island]

ye

so is sn500

[agile bear]

I believe for nvme dram isn’t that important

[sand falcon]

It is very important

[potent prairie]

Um, actually...

[stoic island]

yea

[potent prairie]

Yeah

[stoic island]

It's like the most important part

I'd rather have a Sata drive with dram than a NVMe drive without dram

:P

[agile bear]

I believe for nvme and Ryzen it’s taken care of with the ram

[woeful pumice]

Is the Samsung 860QVO a good SSD?

[sand falcon]

It's QLC, isn't it?

[stoic island]

ye

but it's decent

[agile bear]

I believe Linus talked about it not being needed

[stoic island]

as a sata drive

@agile bear HMB can replace it

[sand falcon]

@agile bear That's for drives with HMB

[stoic island]

but it's very important to have one of the two

[woeful pumice]

I'm looking at that build bob put up, but nixing the HDD and SSD for a 1TB Samsung.

[potent prairie]

You pay for the brand with samsung

[sand falcon]

I'd recommend sticking with the NVMe + HDD

[stoic island]

or just get a cheaper 1tb sata drive :P

qvo 1tb was like 130$ last I checked

[sand falcon]

You can set up a cache if you want faster reads off of the HDD

[potent prairie]

and 130 gets you a 1tb mp34

[stoic island]

huh

qvo is 100$ rn

[woeful pumice]

$100 even on partpicker. Not sure what site.

[stoic island]

Amazon

[sand falcon]

Checked the list, the SN550 has no HMB, avoid it like the plague

[agile bear]

Nvme isn’t that important for most people so idk

[stoic island]

qvo 1tb for 100$ is decent

[woeful pumice]

What is HMB?

[potent prairie]

Sata ssds are fine, but nvmes are very nice

[stoic island]

it makes the ssd use your ram instead of having dedicated dram

[sand falcon]

It will be slightly more expensive than the two drives in there

[potent prairie]

860 QVO is qlc tho

[sand falcon]

Basically, it's a way for SSD manufacturers to cheap out and introduce a bit more latency while using up some of your ram

QLC doesn't matter so much on sata

[woeful pumice]

Ah. So that's lame. Something to watch out for

[sand falcon]

Less endurance still, but speed pffft

[stoic island]

qlc is fine

yea

[sand falcon]

I'm not sure

[stoic island]

HMB is fine, just slightly worse than having actual dram

[woeful pumice]

Oh jeez. Problem. Cant believe I forgot to mention this.

[sand falcon]

I'd still lean towards an nvme and hdd, just because you get that much more speed for a little bit cheaper

Watcha got?

[stoic island]

well

[woeful pumice]

I do not have an OS. rip.

[potent prairie]

Ebay

[sand falcon]

Meh

[stoic island]

win10 be like 3$

linux be like

free

[sand falcon]

Linux is free

What games did you say you play?

[woeful pumice]

I dont linux. Sorry. Lazy when it comes to software lol.

[stoic island]

just get win10 key on ebay

3$, works

[sand falcon]

Linux is stupidly easy to use

[woeful pumice]

GTA, Skyrim, Forza, American Truck Sim, Watch_dogs 2

[sand falcon]

Did you see the LTT gaming on Linux video?

[woeful pumice]

The what where now?

[sand falcon]

You can get a Linux gaming machine up and running faster than a windows one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T_-HMkgxt0

[stoic island]

I havn't :P

[sand falcon]

Watch dogs is an ubi game, darn it

[stoic island]

rip

[sand falcon]

Listed as working though, so idk

ngl though, Linux is actually more user friendly than windows

[woeful pumice]

Watching the video.

[stoic island]

I just use win10 for compatibility with like 95% of things

[woeful pumice]

This is one I can have floating on my phone while I mess around elsewhere lol

[stoic island]

easy and you don't have to check if anything is compatible

[sand falcon]

Yeah, if you need cheap, Linux is getting pretty good for gaming lately though

[woeful pumice]

The tl;dr I'm getting right now is my life would be a little better with Linux if I use an AMD GPU

[sand falcon]

Um, yes

But it's not too bad with POP

[woeful pumice]

[sand falcon]

AMD does play much nicer though

[woeful pumice]

Too many choices lol. Little overwhelmed... gonna have to sit and think.

[sand falcon]

If you don't like choices, use windows

[sharp perch]

What should be a good motherboard for the 280x from corsair with 4 ram slots

[sand falcon]

@sharp perch what CPU are you looking at?

[next kestrel]

linux is a lighter OS

so i think its a bit faster right?

some people install chrome OS onto older laptops for speed

[sand falcon]

It will run faster on older hardware, or if you're puhing your system to the absoulte limits

For gaming systems, it won't really make a difference

[woeful pumice]

Built pretty much what you did, bob, entirely on newegg (lazy. Multiple checkouts? Bleh) and was wondering why it was coming out higher than on pcpart.

Realised I picked a 2TB HDD instead of 1. Duh. That'll save some money lol

[shell haven]

Does anyone know if b450 motherboards come ryzen 3000 ready out of the box?

Specifally the asus rog strix model

[little leaf]

@shell haven Doesn't say on the website but it should

unupdated bioses are an old thing

and if it doesn just get one from amd

[shell haven]

yeah i bought a ryzen 3700x and im not sure what to do if its not compatiablle

[little leaf]

You can get a rental from amds website

for free

[shell haven]

k ill look up abt it later

[novel urchin]

Good Evening everyone. New to Discord here. I am looking for some help with a new build I am working on if anyone can help with this frustrating problem.

[tepid basalt]

@novel urchin what's your problem?

[little osprey]

Hoi I have a b450m pro4, will using a NVME drive take away anything such as a sata port

[agile bear]

I know when I had a aourus b450 it did

read your motherboard guid and it should tell you which ones you cant use

[novel urchin]

@tepid basalt I recently purchased some PC components to build a new gaming PC. Specs are
A320M-HDV R4.0 MB
Ryzen 3 3200G with Vega graphics
Intel 660p SSD 512GB
Patriot Viper 8 GB DDR4 (PVE48G266C6KGY) (4GB x2) Ram
Rosewell 600w PSU
Asus DVDRW Sata
Geforce 1050 ti GPU (Nvidia)
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Nod 32 AV
The first time I installed Windows it constantly crashed WHILE installing! It was heartbreaking! I did manage to get windows 10 running but it was unstable as hell and kept crashing. I suspected it was MB so I returned it and still kept crashing so I sent ALL the parts back and got all new exact same parts. This time I got it running pretty stable (I am on it right now) yet sporadically it keeps crashing! From Kmode Exceptions, Memory Managment (No driver or file mentioned) Kernel Data inpage error all pointing to Ntoskrnl.exe in Blue Screen Viewer in mini dump files as well as completely locking up whenever I even attempt to play youtube videos. (Yeah I disabled Hardware acceleration as well No luck) Now I have run all mem diagnostics windows diag, memtest, SFC, DISM I tested SDD with Windows Chkdsk as well as Intel's Diag tool no problems there. All drivers are up to date and it's a fresh clean install of windows. I finally got around to checking ASROCK's support page listing supported memory. Seems this ram is NOT on that list. I was wondering could that be the problem I am using memory not supported?

[tepid basalt]

maybe, maybe not

you have to stress test the ram to find out

so what can you do with the computer without crash?

[novel urchin]

I did windows Mem diag standard 15 passes. I attempted to do the extended test but it was taking so long (6 hours and only 2% of first pass completed)

[tepid basalt]

you can just use the memtest in dram calculator

[novel urchin]

I can go on Firefox, I can play Zuma for a while w/o crashing (But now windows 10 is having problems with the origin client they are working on a fix for that)I can play Stronghold HD in steam as well for hours no problems

[tepid basalt]

so what you do that make the computer crash?

[novel urchin]

Sometimes if I even pass over a youtube video the PC locks up as well.

[tepid basalt]

like instant crash the moment you touch it

or crash after a while?

watching youtube video?

[novel urchin]

Youtube videos instant crash either that or it locks up completely frozen.

[misty heron]

Hello

[novel urchin]

can't even watch them

[misty heron]

Im back for like the 15 th time this week

[tepid basalt]

have you tried to use the computer without the gpu?

[novel urchin]

yeah the integrated GPU has the same issues.

[misty heron]

I had question but ill wait

[novel urchin]

I did that first off the bat

[proper belfry]

Hey i was wanting some more opinions on a 3900X and a RTX 2070 super and if its a good match

[novel urchin]

Ran the bare bones system with no extra peripherals or add-ons.

[tepid basalt]

Hey i was wanting some more opinions on a 3900X and a RTX 2070 super and if its a good match
@proper belfry I suppose you use the 3900x for work, so I'll say they're good together

[novel urchin]

The GPU is good I tested it on another machine. Works great

[tepid basalt]

ic

you also swapped the mobo for a new one

hmm

bios update?

[novel urchin]

All new parts.

[tepid basalt]

ah not with this board I guess

[novel urchin]

Nah, hesitant about doing that. Maybe I should give it a shot

[tepid basalt]

wait

lemme look sth up quickly

[novel urchin]

There is only one bios update for this board it's currently running Bios ver 3.30. The next update is 3.70

Update AMD AGESA Combo-AM4 1.0.0.4 Patch B

opps can't post the link to the Asrock support page

I am hesitant becuase I am not sure what that update even addresses as there is no release notes about it.

[proper belfry]

@tepid basalt i would be using the PC for work and gaming

[tepid basalt]

There is only one bios update for this board it's currently running Bios ver 3.30. The next update is 3.70
@novel urchin I think you should try to update the bios

but before that

stress test the rams with dram calculator first

[novel urchin]

Yeah firefox tab just crashed again. Crap. I did a search to get more info on the Bios and while scrolling tab crashed. GRRR.

[tepid basalt]

by crash

you mean firefox

or windows

[misty heron]

Hey what would i put into this slot????

[novel urchin]

I'll do the stress test with MEMTEST Dram calculator. Thanks for the tip. just discussing it is helping with my headache lmao

Yeah firefox.

[tepid basalt]

Hey what would i put into this slot????
@misty heron nothing, that's for error checking

[misty heron]

Phew

I thought i lost a wire haha

[novel urchin]

It didn't crash the browser just the tab

Got to set up my USB for memtest. I will get back to you Karozy with the outcome.

[tepid basalt]

okay

@novel urchin btw don't use easy mode, use the memtest mode or sth, I can't recall the name, you'll know when you see it

[misty heron]

Aghhh these wires suck

The ones coming out of the psu are so fat and ugly

Ughhhh

[ripe sonnet]

not sure if there's a better place to ask but i've been wondering about getting some nice braided sata cables and found either corsair with a more tubular shape or cablemod that are flatter. anyone have any opinions on those or any others out there?

[potent prairie]

Cablemod is nice. If you aren't doing custom made cables and buy from them, go for Amazon as you then save $20 on shipping

[primal coyote]

First timer on things and was wondering if this is a good build or would I need to upgrade anything?
Ryzen 5 3600
Asrock b550
Team mp4 512 GB m.2 ssd
Seagate firecuda 2tb
Gigabyte geforce rtx 2070 super
Corsair txm gold 550 w

[desert gulch]

What ram?

[sand falcon]

No ram, all swap

[primal coyote]

Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

[sand falcon]

Coward

[desert gulch]

Might wanna go for 3600 ram for amd

[sand falcon]

For a 3600, not that much of a biggie

[primal coyote]

But everything else is good?

[sand falcon]

Ditch the fire cuda and just get a barracuda

[desert gulch]

It's 55 right now and free shipping for 2 tbs

I got a barracuda

[sand falcon]

Barracuda is good

firecuda is just overpriced

[primal coyote]

Alright I'll do that

[sand falcon]

What case are you getting?

[primal coyote]

NZXT H510 black

[sand falcon]

Of course you are

There's not some other case you like?

The h510 is extremely cliche at this point... basically everyone who comes here wants to use it.

It also has bad airflow and cooling

[primal coyote]

What would you recommend? I dont have a preference really 🤷🏿‍♀️

[sand falcon]

Basically anything but the nzxt

Just scroll around and pick one that looks nice and fits all your components, then check back in to make sure it's got good airflow. Case is largely what you think will look good

[tepid basalt]

it's not exactly bad airflow

it even helps the gpu stays very cool

I've never had any problem with it so far

my cpu temp may be high at 7x, close to 8x but that's because I'm using the stock cooler

and the case has nothing to do with it

[final void]

I chose the q300L instead of the H510

Bit smaller but not that bad

[tepid basalt]

I don't like case with no basement

but well

it's your build, your choice

[lyric thistle]

Case with no basement 😳

Does that just mean PSU is on top, no hard drive tray under a PSU shroud?

[tepid basalt]

no, q300l has psu in the bottom

[lyric thistle]

Ye I gotcha

Just no shroud

[tepid basalt]

and I just realize they install the gpu to the 2nd pcie slot

[lyric thistle]

Choked GPU fan

[tepid basalt]

reinforced pcie slot: am I a joke to you?

[silk estuary]

That makes me sad inside

[lyric thistle]

My brother's old Biostar board has the main slot on the bottom

[silk estuary]

They aren't even using the first m.2 slot wtf

[tepid basalt]

that sounds like biostar

[silk estuary]

Why they got gpu in the 2nd slot, using the psu as support?

[tepid basalt]

I think they want to show off that gpu anti-sag

[silk estuary]

I hope they changed it back afterwards...

[tepid basalt]

They aren't even using the first m.2 slot wtf
@silk estuary also, I find using the 2nd m.2 slot actually makes sense thermally

[silk estuary]

I mean, yeah I have mine in my second slot but only because my 1st gpu slot makes it so my 1st m2 slot doesnt work

[tepid basalt]

really?

what board has such a dumb lane layout?

[silk estuary]

I'm planning on vertical mounting my gpu, putting the cable in the second slot, and getting a second m2

Well it's either the mobo or i was an idiot

I'm using the asrock extreme4

[lyric thistle]

[silk estuary]

Didn't come with one or else I would have

I bought mine preowned

[tepid basalt]

which slots are you using rn

bc one is for wifi

I doubt you'd mistake wifi slot

just to be sure

[silk estuary]

Pcie 1 and M2 Wi-Fi, (cuz I have a m2 wifi card), as well as m2 2

[lyric thistle]

That's physically impossible for a longer drive tho lol

[silk estuary]

Yh

[tepid basalt]

so the m2_1 doesn't work?

[silk estuary]

I haven't tested it since I installed windows

But it worked when I had my gpu in the second pcie16 slot

[tepid basalt]

hmm

weird

but interesting

[silk estuary]

I'll try it again tomorrow with gpu in pcie1 and the m2 in the first slot

[tepid basalt]

yeah I think you should

also this board has a dumb design imo

look at this

[lyric thistle]

How many lanes are in the second 16x slot?

[silk estuary]

How do you mean?

Also, I don't mind it, I like it

[tepid basalt]

they're both x16

I find it dumb because if you happen to need to replace the m.2, you'll have to remove the gpu for that

[lyric thistle]

Yes but how many lanes go to the second slot lol

[tepid basalt]

16

ofc

[lyric thistle]

Is it truly 16 lanes 👀

[tepid basalt]

it's x570

it's supposed to be like that

[lyric thistle]

Ok

[silk estuary]

Ok well it's midnight ima continue this talk later cuz i work tomorrow lol

[tepid basalt]

gn

[silk estuary]

Night

[cold sorrel]

And I wait for power supplies to not be so freaking rare. I'm beginning to think it'll be September before I actually get to build my PC

[lyric thistle]

Lol same

I ordered one from B&H that's backordered

Gonna be a while before I get to turn my computer back on

[cold sorrel]

Right now all I have is case. (It was on sale for a good price and I moved on it)

[little osprey]

What are you looking to pay per fan?
@little osprey around $100

not per fan sorry

[marsh kiln]

How's this build list?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FDWzV7

[mint rain]

q

[potent prairie]

@marsh kiln I would not buy a Samsung ssd. MP34 is lots cheaper and provides most of the performance

Otherwise looks solid

[lyric thistle]

All my homies hate Samsung SSDs 😎

[potent prairie]

Yeah lol

And I own two of em

[lyric thistle]

I have green PCB Samsung RAM

[potent prairie]

Noice lol

If you don't have glass in your case, who cares

[lyric thistle]

Lol

[potent prairie]

puts rgb ram in a optiplex

[lyric thistle]

😳

[analog hearth]

green PCB noises

[lyric thistle]

Every PCB in my computer is a green PCB 😎

To protect the environment

[potent prairie]

Just coat everything in flex seal

Then you have a nice black pcb

Under a quarter inch of cheap rubberiod stuff

[lyric thistle]

Xd

[bold turret]

how much 1080 goes for?

[tall condor]

you might get a deal for 300 second hand

new are 549 and up

[cloud drum]

GTX 1080?

[tall condor]

yeah, i believe so

[potent prairie]

That moment when a guy on craigslist wants to pay for a computer with a cashiers check 🙄

[sullen spoke]

lol

ye used can be found under 400

wait no, 400 is 1080 ti

[lyric thistle]

1080 XT

[cloud drum]

like the 5700xt is better

[little osprey]

What motherboard do y’all recommend for a ryzen 5 3600

[fast dust]

A decent B450 or B550

[last tendon]

if you can find one a msi b450 tomahawk is the go to motherboard for most people

[arctic jungle]

@little osprey if you plan on making bunches of upgrades go 550

[little osprey]

@last tendon bro i tried looking everywhere for an msi b450 but they were out of stock every single place

[buoyant aurora]

Never forgetti

Which windows version should i get for my pc??

[fast dust]

10

Usually windows 10 home is what you get

No need for win 10 pro most of the time

[misty heron]

And i go to ebay for that right?

Whats the home N ??

@fast dust

[fast dust]

Yes just go to eBay

To get a key

And lots of sellers sell pro so you can get pro if you want

@little osprey
MP34 is like $4 more and is a much better SSD. In the future, ask for help w/ builds in here rather than #build-pics 🙂

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fsqhP6/

PSU is a solid choice

Tho you could probably just get this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FdRFf7/ and save $25

[little osprey]

@potent prairie thx bro

[little osprey]

what’s next 😭

[spiral zealot]

enable D.O.C.P, so your ram will run at the proper speed, it defaults to the slower 2133mhz out of the box

[latent storm]

do you guys think that a 550w psu will be good for now until psu stocks are back to normal

[fast dust]

@latent storm what make and model

[latent storm]

evga supernova 550 g3

the 650w one isn’t in stock right now

[fast dust]

Uh for what CPU+GPU?

[latent storm]

ryzen 5 3600 and founders edition 2070 super

[fast dust]

Yeah should be totally fine

In fact no need to buy a 650w when you have this 550

[latent storm]

i mean later down the road when i upgrade y’know

[fast dust]

Alrighty then

[crude otter]

I wish the psu Supplies would level out soon, psu is the only piece I'm missing for my build and my corsair is back ordered

[latent storm]

@crude otter get the supernova 550 g3 right now

this is the first time i’ve seen it in stock in weeks

@fast dust i have no idea right now tbh

[sharp tide]

for reference to my pics

[crude otter]

Back ordered a corsair rm750x, should know in the next few days if itll ship or not.

[fast dust]

Oh I was don’t talking anyways

*done

[sharp tide]

same

[misty heron]

How much fps would i lose if i started streaming?

[fast dust]

Depends on CPU and if you’re using a capture card or not

What CPU do you have

[misty heron]

I have a ryzen 5 3600

And my 1050 mini is giving me like 150+ fps on fortnite so im thinking i should return my 2060super

[delicate forge]

ahh man id keep it

[misty heron]

Yea thats what im thinking

But i wanna know how much fps id lose

[delicate forge]

maybe in that game non

[misty heron]

In the event that i get like 90fps during end zone

[delicate forge]

idk if it locks it at a max

[misty heron]

Imma dl streamlabs

To c

[wary geode]

yea

[delicate forge]

there are other task your card might be better at anyways and other games might lean on harder task and still look worse for example arma3

can i get some help in #graphics-cards
