[misty heron]

So like yes or no

Idk how to read between the lines

Im not streaming yet but im getting 200 fps 🙂

[little osprey]

Is the ryzen 5 2600 the same as the 3600?

[silk estuary]

is

[desert gulch]

No

[silk estuary]

Is that a joke?

[desert gulch]

It's older than 3600

[silk estuary]

Second gen

[little osprey]

Ok

[arctic jungle]

different architecture too

3600 has more performance

[desert gulch]

And it's on sale kinda

It's like 175 right now I believe

[thick gorge]

Hey guys, is the EVGA 2060 ko ultra a good card

[desert gulch]

For what resolution?

[cloud drum]

Ehhh

[next kestrel]

for workstation and not gaming

[fast dust]

Yo guys do you know if I’ll be able to get up to 1866MHz on the ASRock H81 Pro BTC motherboard? I have an 1866MHz kit of patriot viper I wanna use but don’t know if I’ll be able to get all the way up to 1866MHz

[fast dust]

In its memory support list I see 1866MHz models

[agile charm]

Where is the sata connection on this motherboard?

[fast dust]

Usually SATA ports are somewhere in the bottom right of the board

[agile charm]

Ooh like underneath the graphic card

[fast dust]

Perhaps

[next kestrel]

uhh underneath mobo 24 pin?

[misty heron]

Check the manual!!! @agile charm

Is it weird that the people activated my windows when i never inputted a key??

[next kestrel]

uh'

[magic bough]

Thanks

Is there a place that can customize my pc case with like vinyl?

[little osprey]

whats the diffrence between a 2080 super and a 2070 super

[magic bough]

The 8

[little osprey]

.... yeah but i mean how well it runs and stuff yknow...

[magic bough]

Lmfao ik idk I@just ordered a 2070 super because my friend says it’s not that much difference for the price

[little osprey]

ok ty

does ur pc run good?

if its built

[magic bough]

Still waiting on the motherboard to build it

Unfortunately

[little osprey]

ah ok

so i should just get a better everything with a 2070then get a 2080?

[magic bough]

Idk I’m not the best person to ask

[little osprey]

[magic bough]

@sand falcon helped me a lot on it if he wants to help you he is a great guy

Sorry for @ ing you bob

[sand falcon]

[magic bough]

Yes

[sand falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-baby-yoda-the-mandalorian-hello-there-wave-gif-16179356

[magic bough]

Ooflord if you have questions this would be the guy to ask

[sand falcon]

Unless if it's about peripherals

[magic bough]

It’s about a 2080 and 2070 super

[buoyant aurora]

Rest in peace rekful, many people will miss you <3

[exotic carbon]

Hey guys planning on building a pc hopefully and i’m thinking a ryzen 5 3300x matched with a rx 5600 xt. Is this a good pair?

[little osprey]

Hmm

[exotic carbon]

Hmm?

[little osprey]

I think that would work pretty well

What sort of games are you running?

@exotic carbon

[exotic carbon]

umm battlefeild minecraft terraria hollow knight

[little osprey]

Gimme a sec

I think that it would work pretty well

Very good value processor

Yeah looking at the specs that should work a treat

[arctic jungle]

@exotic carbon

ryzen 5 3300x isn't a thing.......

do u mean ryzen 3 3300x or ryzen 5 3600x?

[granite imp]

These are the thickest case fans Ive ever seen. But you can’t beat free!

[cloud drum]

@little osprey

He's looking for budget keyboard and mouse

I think he's looking for a kb for less than 25$

[granite imp]

And a free PSU to go with the free fans. #score

[agile charm]

@misty heron it's a custom prebuilt, there's no manual

[little osprey]

this might sound upserd but just wnt 1080p low a full setup for 500$

[cloud drum]

Hmmm

[little osprey]

a setup....

not a pc

[cloud drum]

Oh

[misty heron]

@agile charm no like find out what mobo you have then go online and search for a manual online

[arctic jungle]

@little osprey it's not absurd

it's actually really reasonable, if you rlly rlly cheap out on the peripherals

so let's get started: what do you already have?

[little osprey]

a crappy laptop

[arctic jungle]

if you have a chair and desk, you just saved 50$

same for mouse and kb

[little osprey]

i do

i have a mouse i just ordered it

[arctic jungle]

cool

kb?

[little osprey]

dont have a keyboard

[arctic jungle]

kk

what are the laptop specs?

[little osprey]

i5 8250u

[arctic jungle]

maybe u can take out some ram

[little osprey]

laptop ram and pc ram is difrent right?

[arctic jungle]

oh it's a laptop?

nvm then

didn't see that

ko lemme make a build

no monitor?

[little osprey]

nothing

[arctic jungle]

k

[little osprey]

i used to be in a dorm so.

[arctic jungle]

ah

[little osprey]

didnt have much room

[arctic jungle]

and ur only gaming?

[little osprey]

and some photshop premier pro and other adobe products

and some streaming/recording maybe

[arctic jungle]

ethernet or wifi @little osprey

[little osprey]

both

mainly ethernet

dont need a wifi card

[arctic jungle]

ko

[analog hearth]

ko

[little osprey]

?

[analog hearth]

idk lol

[little osprey]

so....... @arctic jungle what part r u on?

[arctic jungle]

I actually just got a little busy, sry gonna need some time, I can probs finish in the afternoon

here

ask @analog hearth

[analog hearth]

Wat

[arctic jungle]

he's good with this stuf

[analog hearth]

What’s the question lol

[arctic jungle]

whole setup not including mouse, table, and chair for 500$, must do 1080p low @ 60 fps

@little osprey this is the guy to ask

[analog hearth]

Uhhh APU with 16GB of RAM at any speed (but minimum at 3200MHz if possible). That’s really all you need, assuming you already have a monitor

[little osprey]

i dont ...............

[analog hearth]

Spare TV laying around?

I’d use that until you can afford something better

I don’t think it’s possible to fit a display into that budget

[little osprey]

i have a 4k tv in the living room but it aint mine

[analog hearth]

Might wanna save a little more for a display or ask if you can use that TV

Just set the TV to 1080p and you should be fine

[little osprey]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm im a look at ebay for some old monitor

[cloud drum]

can you use the laptop as a display?

[past umbra]

Not normally, they have hdmi out but not in

[analog hearth]

With a lot of work and somewhat of a lot of knowledge, yes

[cloud drum]

lol i c

[analog hearth]

You’d have to know how to take the display out of your laptop and find a converter to connect an HDMI to the display’s ribbon cable

Not as easy as plugging a console into the HDMI out of the laptop lol

[past umbra]

I need help, I am trying to fix a computer for my uncle, when I power it on it makes a single click but does not power on. There is still a power light that lights up on the motherboard when connected to power, but nothing else will turn on

[analog hearth]

Not even fan movement?

[past umbra]

Nope

I press the power button and it just makes a single click noise

[little osprey]

u can use a laptop for a display i have to take it apart tho

@past umbra have u checked if there is a faulty hdd?

[past umbra]

No I have not

[little osprey]

cuase my dad pc had a beep

and it was a faulty point thingy

in the hdd

[past umbra]

Would that cause it not to boot?

[little osprey]

it was broken

yes

no bios either

there should be bios if it is hdd

[mossy citrus]

It could be something shorting

Check the front panel pins

[past umbra]

It doesn’t make a beep it just clicks once and I have to power it off and back on in order for it to click again

[mossy citrus]

For power and reset

Check the pins

[little osprey]

does it boot tho?

[past umbra]

No

[little osprey]

check the pins like infinty said

or disconnect it from case and manualy short it with a scre driver

[past umbra]

You mind if I post a picture to see if they are fine?

[little osprey]

sure

[past umbra]

So which pins do I have to check

[little osprey]

depends on the mobo

is it a prebuilt?

[past umbra]

Nope

I don’t think so

[little osprey]

mind posting a picture of them throuh dm?

[elfin lagoon]

hi

[little osprey]

hi

[tranquil bobcat]

Just wondering which B550/x570 would work best in a NZXT 210 using air cooling only?

[little osprey]

@tranquil bobcat WHat u mean?

[cloud drum]

Mobo

I don't really know what Mobo makes a difference, it's all what you're using to cool it

[potent prairie]

@tranquil bobcat depends on your use case.

If you are super into OCing and need pcle 4.0, x570 could be worth it

Otherwise, b550 is more wallet friendly and can still oc

[errant night]

My monitor wont turn on when ever i turn on my pc can anyone help me i just installed a wifi card

[little osprey]

is the monitor plugged into the wall

[errant night]

yes

And is connected to the pc with the hdmi cable

[cloud drum]

where is the hdmi connected too

the gpu?

[woven crypt]

the gpu?
@cloud drum Yes

[errant night]

Yea

[silk estuary]

I mean

It could be plugged into the mobo if it has an hdmi port

Would make sense that the monitor wouldn't display anything if there wasnt any onboard graphics

[little leaf]

@errant night does the have power?

like does anything in the pc recive power

or does nothing show signs of power?

[analog hearth]

recive

[little leaf]

is anything in the pc reciving power

[errant night]

the pc is working the monitor has power it just doesnt want to turn on

[cloud drum]

Ubplung your PC and turn it off completely

[errant night]

did that a few times

[cloud drum]

You could take off the wifi card and see if it works

[little leaf]

@errant night I want to know if the pc is reciving power not the monitor

If it is is there a postcode or debug light?

[errant night]

the wifi card has an orange light

is that a debug light?

[little osprey]

yo i’m building a pc rn and i got a problem with installing the cpu cooler can anyone dm?

no one?

[sand falcon]

@little osprey We can help

What CPU and what cooler?

[soft socket]

guys my m.2 drive says remapping in bios and my pc when its loading its slower what can i do?

[sand falcon]

@soft socket How old is the drive and what model?

[soft socket]

samsung 970 evo plus 500 gb like 3 weeks

i just got it

i added another samsung 970 evo plus 1tb

and it didnt want to load windows 10

and when i checked the bios it said remapping

[sand falcon]

Which one is windows installed on?

[soft socket]

the 500gb

the original

one i had

[sand falcon]

And the 1TB doesn't load windows?

[soft socket]

now i installed the software bios nvme and it said no device is connected

i just got it so idk how to transfer the data to it

ijust got the 1tb yesterday installed it and it wouldnt load windows

[sand falcon]

How many slots does your motherboard have?

[soft socket]

2 m.2 slots

and 6 sata

[sand falcon]

Is the 500GB in the same slot it was before?

[soft socket]

yes

i just put the 1tb in the one that was free

i changed it to uefi

[sand falcon]

Okay

Does windows boot on the 500GB drive?

[soft socket]

yes

it should because that where it was originally installed

and now im guessing its running on my sata since its turning on slower than before

but i checked files everything is on the 500 gb

i disconnected my sata drive i deleted all my stuff and let windows 10 install again but now it runs slower

when i turn on my pc

[sand falcon]

Like it will take longer to post?

[soft socket]

no it takes longer for loading into my pc

it used to be fast now i tunr it on a windows things pops up

then it loads

its strange

[sand falcon]

What do the things say?

[soft socket]

also before it started working i would turn the pc on and it would shut off then run again

like a little restart

[sand falcon]

What do the pop up things say?

[soft socket]

windows thats it

like before it would load me into like loggin in the pc

but now it like looks like it downloads windows for a second then it loads me in

[sand falcon]

Interesting

Which drive do you want windows on?

[soft socket]

i dont mind it staying or moving to the 1tb but i do mind the loading time being slowed and the drive saying its remapping in the bios

[sand falcon]

How much longer does it take?

[soft socket]

3-4 minutes like i said it shows the windows logo also look i got his error as well 😦 pc ran into a problem

it had to restart

[sand falcon]

That's pretty bad

If you're gonna be moving stuff anyway, I would recommend just doing a clean reinstall of windows on the 1TB drive

[soft socket]

FML;'(

[sand falcon]

It's not too hard

[soft socket]

how can i do that

im scared to mess it up

[sand falcon]

It's just like installing windows in the first place

[soft socket]

should i removed my sata drive

[sand falcon]

Disconnect the other drives first, yeah

You don't need to, but might as well

[soft socket]

ok so the m.2 500 gb and my sata

but how do i delete windows on the 500 gb

[sand falcon]

You won't need to

[soft socket]

oh ok so how can i do it can you dm me ? please iappreciate your help

[sand falcon]

You'll need to download the windows install file and copy it to a usb drive, then you just boot with the usn drive and follow the instructions on screen

[exotic carbon]

@arctic jungle yeah sorry i meant ryzen 3 3300x

[scarlet gazelle]

Hey everyone! I'm building my very first PC. Can anyone give me advice?

First question is could I get a PC that can run pretty much all games for $1k?

At decent FPS^

😄

[hushed pollen]

I have something plugged into an RGB header but it isnt showing up in MSI Dragon Center. Do I need to do anything in bios to make that happen?
or can I use Asus AuraSync on an MSI mobo

ping if u respond ty

[sand falcon]

@scarlet gazelle That is perfectly do-able. I have a $750 system that runs minecraft at 300+ fps

[scarlet gazelle]

Hm but that is Minecraft. Could you run OverWatch at high FPS>

My friend has a $400 PC that runs MC at ~800

[little leaf]

@scarlet gazelle a 3600 and a 5700xt should do well in your budget

[scarlet gazelle]

How much are those

[little leaf]

1k for a full p with those comps

[scarlet gazelle]

Is that gpu+cpu? I'm a pc n00b

[little leaf]

yes

[scarlet gazelle]

Whats a full p?

full price?

[little leaf]

pc

[scarlet gazelle]

1k is the duo? or with other parts it would be around 1k

[little leaf]

1k is the full pc

[scarlet gazelle]

Hm I want to build it though yknow

Want that experience

[little leaf]

Yes.... thats the full pc is 1k

[cloud drum]

Get a 3600 and 5700xt

And 3600 MHz ram

[little leaf]

Tifa I just said that lol

[cloud drum]

Oh

[scarlet gazelle]

LOL guess thats a good choice:D

[cloud drum]

Man I bought a 2060 super thinking it would be better than the 5700 xt

But I was wrong

[scarlet gazelle]

@little leaf the 3600&5700XT is not the entire pc though right?

[little leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CJgyn7

[cloud drum]

Dam

That list fire

[scarlet gazelle]

Gotcha gotcha

[little leaf]

case isn't the best, but stuff is oos rn

[scarlet gazelle]

I didnt know there are preset lists

[little leaf]

the p400a is better

There aren't I just made it lol

[scarlet gazelle]

😮 oh thank you so much kind stranger

[little leaf]

Its not that hard

[scarlet gazelle]

So you really know a lot about this stuff huh

I want to be really knowledgable like that

[cloud drum]

I saw a Walmart PC for 1k and the parts were atrocious

[scarlet gazelle]

Why is the case $60 my friends told me I could get a case cheap as hell and its no differnece

[viral ore]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jkWLmg
made a few changes

[little leaf]

depends

[cloud drum]

Cases are out of stock

[scarlet gazelle]

Does it ablate heat well?

[little leaf]

just the mobo and different gpu?

[cloud drum]

So your limited

[little leaf]

Ah the tomahawk is oos

[cloud drum]

Really?

[scarlet gazelle]

512 gig SSD is enough? Games are getting very very big nowadays

[viral ore]

yeah

more resonably priced ones

thats all

[cloud drum]

I still have a SATA SSD

[scarlet gazelle]

I may up the budget for a 1tb SSD

[cloud drum]

I don't have the screews for my m.2 slot and too lazy to buy it

[little leaf]

@viral ore why the pusle over gigabyte?

[viral ore]

because the card you picked was 80 dollars more.....

[little leaf]

No it wasn't lol

I was only 10 dollars more

[viral ore]

it was 480

[little leaf]

it was 410

[scarlet gazelle]

tf is a video card 0.o

[viral ore]

471.32

[cloud drum]

You should wait for AMD to release something

[scarlet gazelle]

ram?

[little leaf]

@viral ore no...

[cloud drum]

Next generation is coming soon

[little leaf]

look for it on newegg

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6kdrxr/gigabyte-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8-gb-gaming-oc-video-card-gv-r57xtgaming-oc-8gd

[cloud drum]

You could get a better PC for the same price if you wait

[little leaf]

@viral ore do you have newegg and b and h blacklisted lol?

[cloud drum]

Why does everyone want to build during this Corona recession

[scarlet gazelle]

how long im impateint as hell i cant wait for my first PC

[little leaf]

[viral ore]

oh crap, it might be still only be set to amazon

[cloud drum]

Maybe October next gen

Is out

[viral ore]

i hate it when this happens

[scarlet gazelle]

nah cant wait

[cloud drum]

Dude

This is elthe worst time to build one

[scarlet gazelle]

how much better

[cloud drum]

This

I'd you wait

[little leaf]

@viral ore I'm about to do a big brain move

[cloud drum]

You can get something way better for the same price

[scarlet gazelle]

;-; but

why is the the wrost time

[cloud drum]

Covid-19

One word

That's it

[scarlet gazelle]

mayb

[little leaf]

I'm selling my pc for what I made it for and then bought a gaming laptop from costco that I will return when next gen comes out

[scarlet gazelle]

idk man do you remember how hype you were for your first?

[cloud drum]

And there's not many games coming out rn

I got my PC in 2017

[viral ore]

ok, im looking at the list with all merchants now, not just amazon

and its much better lol

[scarlet gazelle]

So with either of those lists

could i run all games at at least 100fps

[little leaf]

The gigabyte will probably have better cooling as its trifan

[cloud drum]

Most games

[scarlet gazelle]

max settings?

[little leaf]

yes

[scarlet gazelle]

gah damn i cant wait

[little leaf]

at 1080p most likely more

[hushed pollen]

reposting this

I have something plugged into an RGB header but it isnt showing up in MSI Dragon Center. Do I need to do anything in bios to make that happen?
or can I use Asus AuraSync on an MSI mobo

[scarlet gazelle]

ive been playing on crap comps my whole life

[unreal pendant]

Hi Everyone,

Need some advice on selecting a good PSU.
I don't know what this techy-lingo means... (im first-time builder)

Q: "Supports Standard ATX (PS2 Form Factor) Power Supply"

And the newegg site crashed for the pc-builder tool for me, don't know what to do.

any ideas ?

[little leaf]

@hushed pollen no Idea only used a msi board once and it didn't work at start

[cloud drum]

PSU are out of stock

[scarlet gazelle]

is video card the same as ram

what is a video card

[unreal pendant]

ooohh really? omg

[potent prairie]

Not all PSUs are oos

[cloud drum]

The majority of are

I should say

[unreal pendant]

darn cornnaaaa... 😦

[potent prairie]

ATX is form factor

[unreal pendant]

atx is the biggest type board right?

[potent prairie]

Make sure the PSU you get is at least B-tier (see pins for tier list), unless you are going super budget

[unreal pendant]

what does PS2 mean?

[hushed pollen]

@little leaf how did you get the rgb header to work?

[potent prairie]

There is a general shortage of PC parts, but you can still get plenty of models, depending on what you want.

[unreal pendant]

my budget is so-so looking a good one... that u guys would recomend

[little leaf]

@unreal pendant what is the budget for the entire build?

[little osprey]

Ram ranch really rocks

[unreal pendant]

kk... here it is:

motherboard: AORUS B550i
CPU: ryzen 3600
gpu: asus GeForce GTX1650
ram: undecided
sdd: undecided
psu: undecided

budget i would say around 1500$

[potent prairie]

I'd try for at least a B-tier PSU at that budget.

Maybe like a cx550 or the like

[cloud drum]

Why a 1659

That's a bottleneck right there

[potent prairie]

SSD, look at the mp34. Pretty much best value ssd

[unreal pendant]

my gaming lcd-monitor is oldchool no doe to upgrate that lol

[cloud drum]

Get a RTX 2070 and a ryzen 7

[potent prairie]

Lemmie make a pcpp list for you

[unreal pendant]

wow thanks guys 🙂

[potent prairie]

Any reason for an aurous mobo?

[cloud drum]

They're sexy

[potent prairie]

Eh

[unreal pendant]

haha i was told the same by the newegg customer service rep lol

[little leaf]

@cloud drum for gaming get a 3600 and 2080s

[cloud drum]

That's a bottleneck tho

3600

[little leaf]

no its not

very small

It will be fine

[cloud drum]

Why not an 8 core p

[unreal pendant]

price jump is big from 6 to 8?

[little leaf]

Cause you can't fit it in if you want a 2080s

[cloud drum]

Mean I guess

[unreal pendant]

customer service say that with 6 cores can run frontline and tomb rader okay

[little leaf]

6 cores can run anything fine

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3KGYDx

[cloud drum]

That's o good

Friend

[potent prairie]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RvvQHB

[cloud drum]

I bought the 2060 supper I kinda regret

[potent prairie]

(If you want more ram and RGB)

[little leaf]

Mine is more storage and better psy

[unreal pendant]

wow that gpu is sooo good... im gonna save up for it now

[little leaf]

psu

@potent prairie I really wouldn't pair a 2080s with the gpu

[potent prairie]

Fair

[little leaf]

Sorry the psu

[unreal pendant]

yesss re: psu what would u both say?

[little leaf]

Do not get that psu for a 2080s

[cloud drum]

Does gigabyte own arouros

[little leaf]

yes

aorus is just a gigabyte product line

[unreal pendant]

ye i love the mini-itx style

[cloud drum]

I c

[unreal pendant]

doing things micro is crazzzzyness

but it's fun

u both have mid-tower rigs at home?

[cloud drum]

I got a 2060 super and 3600

[unreal pendant]

i like the portability thing a lot

wow 1080p all the way... i really need to upgrade my old dell montor

thanks guy 🙂

*guys 🙂

[misty heron]

Hey can i ask a question about reselling a pc here?

[potent prairie]

Yeah, you can't try to sell anything, but I think a question about selling is fine

[misty heron]

Like asking the price range of a prebuilt ?

[potent prairie]

I'm sure that's fine

[misty heron]

hello

again

can someone help me come up with a list (budget 2k, no rgb, all new parts?)

[sand falcon]

Anything besides gaming?

[misty heron]

streaming

my friend says he wants more fps but he gets as much as me

and i get around 150 while streaming smh

[sand falcon]

That's a pretty simple build then

Get a 2080 super, and then put in the best CPU that fits

[misty heron]

Then everything else?

I just put randomly right

[sand falcon]

yeah. I might do the everything else first and then put in the best CPU

[misty heron]

Where should i get 2080 super from

[sand falcon]

Gigabyte, evga, wherever really

[misty heron]

Kk ty

[sand falcon]

I'd say the windforce

[misty heron]

Boblasershark u have helped me with 2 whole builds

[sand falcon]

Have I?

[misty heron]

I was thinking nvidia cause ik hes not smart enough to oc

Yeah im pretty sure u helped me with my last one too

I just finished it btw 😄

Like yesterday

[sand falcon]

Cool. nvidia is also good for streaming, so that would be a good choice

[misty heron]

Kk

[sand falcon]

Will your friend be able to reuse any parts from an old build?

[misty heron]

Nope

[sand falcon]

Dang

[misty heron]

Hes planning to sell his prebuilt

[sand falcon]

Okay

[misty heron]

Does anyone have the ram and cas latency conparison sheet

[sand falcon]

At this busget, just get 3600 cl16

[misty heron]

Kk lol

Honestly ill just get the 3200 cl14

@sand falcon

[sand falcon]

That's fair

[misty heron]

Ive used up only 1.1k smh

What cpu do u think i should get?

@sand falcon

[sand falcon]

Best that fits, probably the 10700k or 3900x

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/ZCsqpg

how do you like it so far?

im forcing him to have the same case as me

muhaha

[sand falcon]

You have no motherboard

[misty heron]

yeah

i have no clue on what to get haha

[sand falcon]

Just some motherbaord

[misty heron]

i can basicalyl just get any right?

ahahaha

how can i get one with more than one slot for fanms

case fans*

[sand falcon]

The ssd is QLC, you might consider getting a TLC model

All motherboards should have at least one fan header

[misty heron]

but like my case has 2 case fans

and he probably would want to use both

[mortal rampart]

why are you getting that atrocious case

[misty heron]

cause my friend is making me make a list for him

so i must force him to use my case

muhaha

[mortal rampart]

no

[misty heron]

yes

hes getting a 2k pc

2k budget my friend

[mortal rampart]

then put a 2tb ssd in there for the boy

[misty heron]

yes sir

mam?

idk

[mortal rampart]

sir

you chillin maynnn

[misty heron]

which m.2? (m) or (b+m)?>

[mortal rampart]

m.2

m

m

m

[misty heron]

theres 2 types

kk

[sand falcon]

Most motherboards should have 2 fan header

[mortal rampart]

m

[misty heron]

from who?

ill just take a 550 boblazershark

[mortal rampart]

seabrent

or however you spell it lmao

[misty heron]

570*

[sand falcon]

550 works

[mortal rampart]

make sure its pcie 4.0

[sand falcon]

You don't need pcie 4.0

[misty heron]

holy crap kisuske ur lying right?

haha

[sand falcon]

I think so?

[misty heron]

oh shoot

i need a full atx tower

right?

[sand falcon]

Sure

[misty heron]

nooo we cant have same case then

cause mine is mid tower

😦

[sand falcon]

Good

[misty heron]

wait

can a full board fit inside a mid tower?

@sand falcon

[sand falcon]

Just get a new case

It should be able to though

[misty heron]

no

we hvae to match

hmph

okay

here is my final

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/ZCsqpg

its close enough

[sand falcon]

Any reason why the 2TB ssd?

[misty heron]

uh

just cause

he can ig

i dont even reach 2k

so ig thats okay

[sand falcon]

Sure it reaches 2k

[misty heron]

how?

tax?

[sand falcon]

Probably the PSU

$250

[misty heron]

get a plat pus?

psu?

is that what ur sayin?

[desert gulch]

He planning to just get a 350w for 30 bucks

[misty heron]

whaty??

im not following

[sand falcon]

I'd aim for a gold, probably around 150 dollars

[misty heron]

that is gold

[desert gulch]

Rams kinda slow ngl

For 105

[misty heron]

cl14

btw

[desert gulch]

You can get the same set in 3600 speed for 80

It's cl16 in the 80 dollar set

[sand falcon]

Let me run the math on that

[misty heron]

mo

no

the 3200 cl14 is a bit faster

and it is within the budget

therefore he will get the 3200 cl14

[sand falcon]

Yup, it is

[misty heron]

hehe

[sand falcon]

The 3200 will read in 4.375ns, the 3600 will read in 4.444ns

[misty heron]

and mid tower should be able to hold the psu and mobo right?

[sand falcon]

Yeah

Get a different PSU though, that one is really overpriced

Will your friend be overclocking?

[misty heron]

No

Hes too dummy to clock

But it has the connecables

What should i get then @sand falcon

[sand falcon]

Wait, why do you have the founders edition on here

I jus noticed that

[misty heron]

Wdym

[sand falcon]

That's expensive

And not great

[misty heron]

For what thingy

This is like my 3rd build

The other 2 mostly other ppl told me wat to get

[sand falcon]

The GPU

[misty heron]

Then which one to get

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rM83YH

[misty heron]

And wat psu to get

[sand falcon]

What do you think of this?

mp34 as boot

HDD's in raid0 with the sabrant as a cache

Goes zoom

zoomy zoom

[misty heron]

Tyy

Imma use that instead

And then change the case

To match mine muhahaha

Im evil 😈

[sand falcon]

No, that is a good case

[misty heron]

Noo it has to matchh

[sand falcon]

Fair enough

The storage is mostly for memes and bragging rights

You might want to set that part up for him

[misty heron]

Nah

He says hes gonna build by himself

Lol

Muhahaha

[sand falcon]

Okay, so relay this to him:
Windows is installed on the 1tb nvme drive
The 2TB drives are put in raid0 in the bios
The 500GB nvme is used as a cache for the HDD raid

[misty heron]

Raid0??

I dont even know what or how to do that hahaha

[sand falcon]

You go into bios and go to the raid configuration tab

[misty heron]

Thats a thing?

[sand falcon]

Yup

[misty heron]

Can i just dm u on the day that happens

I think hes gonna force me into helping him

[sand falcon]

Sure, the important thing is to make sure you install windows on the 1TB drive

[misty heron]

Yup yup

On the ssd

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/ZCsqpg

This is the final build

Is that worthy enough masyer boblasershark?

[sand falcon]

You might consider a better cpu cooler at some point, but eh

Let me check case fans though

[misty heron]

Kk

[stoic island]

ya prob want a better cooler

psu could be better, lemme check stock

[sand falcon]

Also a rear fan

[misty heron]

Theres only 2 case fan slots

Chill outtt

[stoic island]

MWE gold is back
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1429693-REG/cooler_master_mpy_6501_afaag_us_mwe_gold_650_fully.html

[sand falcon]

There's a slot in the back

You want a rear fan

[misty heron]

No like on mobo

My guy

[stoic island]

what's with the storage? 500gb+1tb+2tb+2tb

[sand falcon]

Meme time

2TB in raido with the 500GB as cache

[stoic island]

wdym?

[misty heron]

He has 2k budget

My friend

[stoic island]

6x4 pin system fan connectors on mobo

[misty heron]

Has 2k budget

[sand falcon]

You put the 2TB HDD's in raid0, then use the 500GB nvme as a cache for it, sorta like a giant nvme sshd

[misty heron]

lmao imma just dm on that day

[stoic island]

Why the pcie 4.0 drive tho?

[sand falcon]

Because zoom

[stoic island]

zoom

[misty heron]

Vrrm

[sand falcon]

It had some of the highest random r/w I could find

[misty heron]

So that good or does it need to edit

[sand falcon]

Get the PSU Mr1111 linked, and add a 120mm rear fan

[stoic island]

3900x runs hot so :P

[misty heron]

Sooooo should i get another cpu fan too or

[sand falcon]

Might consider 3700x (or xt) and get a nice cooler

[misty heron]

3700x cpu?

[sand falcon]

Yeah

[misty heron]

What fan do

[sand falcon]

And then either a noctua or be quiet tower

[misty heron]

Idk what are good

Haha

So cpu cooler should be octua or bequiet!

Then i get a rearfan?

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WrvZxr/be-quiet-bl066-505-cfm-120mm-fan-bl066
This is a decent fan

[misty heron]

As a casefan?

Do i have to change the cpu fan or nah?

[sand falcon]

That's the case fan

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/84MTwP/noctua-nh-d15-chromaxblack-8252-cfm-cpu-cooler-nh-d15-chromaxblack
Might as well use this for the cooler

@stoic island You say that should be enough cooling?

[misty heron]

Kk

Kk

[sand falcon]

btw, I'm kinda using your friend to test this thing. I've done small scale testing of that storage thing, so I'm looking to see how well it scales. Whould your friend be willing to run a benchmark?

[misty heron]

lol idk

I might be able to force him to

[sand falcon]

Cool

[misty heron]

Since ur helping with this he might have to return the favor

[sand falcon]

The initial tests were really promising, but I don't have the materials on hand to do an extensive one

[misty heron]

lol

How would he do it

[sand falcon]

Just crystal diskmark

[misty heron]

Just remind me imma forget

Theres not gonna be enough slots for the casefan

[stoic island]

wha

might want d15s for ram clearance

[misty heron]

Wait nvm

Whats a ram clearance

[sand falcon]

Forgot about clearance... oops

Also, there's plenty of space for the fans

[misty heron]

Yeah i checked manual nvm

Haha

Whats clearance

[sand falcon]

Sometimes the ram gets in the way of the cooler

[misty heron]

So i get cl15 instead?

[sand falcon]

No

A d15s is a version of the CPU cooler with more room for ram

[misty heron]

Oh and i just get one bequiet fan for rear right?

[sand falcon]

Yes

[misty heron]

Oh i saw a cl hahah

[sand falcon]

This has 32mm ram clearance

[misty heron]

Uhh so which fan is that?

Cpu?

[sand falcon]

Yes, the CPU cooler

[misty heron]

And i get which one?

[sand falcon]

Not the one I sent earlier

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xCL7YJ/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd15s

?

Should i get that instead? Or?

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xCL7YJ/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd15s
Yup

[misty heron]

So final build this thingy?

[sand falcon]

Send the link?

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/ZCsqpg

[sand falcon]

Didn't swap the PSU

[misty heron]

Oops#

Then after psu swap im done??

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/J7F48d/cooler-master-mwe-gold-650-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-mpy-6501-afaag-us
Yup

I actually debated using the blue version of this case

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RiceOkayPls/saved/ZCsqpg

[sand falcon]

Looks good. You could even throw in another 2TB drive if you wanted 🤣

You don't want to

Though you could get two more case fans

That might actually be worth

[misty heron]

Nahhh

Ill just finush it there

He might not go for all that space tbh

And i apologize if he doesnt

[fierce badge]

We can post here with our builds and can get pointers and such?

[misty heron]

Yeahp

[fierce badge]

it says my link isnt allowed. sigh

[severe bloom]

You have to level up before you can post links

[misty heron]

^

[fierce badge]

i see

[misty heron]

If u want u can dm me the link

And ill post it

@fierce badge

[fierce badge]

oh, thatd be nice, thanks man

[misty heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jQRXwh

Anyway gn idk anything anyway

[fierce badge]

Thank you. Any pointers would be helpful. its my first build, and i want something for gaming for 3 - ~7 years, then a business computer for the rest of its life cycle. So im kinda going all out. if any one has better recommendations, thatd be awesome to hear

gn

[severe bloom]

Why x570?

[still roost]

ChristOnAStick#9977 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sharp viper]

Dang

[fierce badge]

Overclock abilities. and i like the way the aorus boards look

was dang considered bad word usage?

oh. hehe, guess not

[severe bloom]

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=f4-3600c14d-16gtznb&N=-1&SortType=8 better memory kit faster timings

[fierce badge]

Ah, i see that. i forget about the numbers past 3600. mainky because i dont understand them

[stoic island]

uhh @severe bloom what was the list?

[severe bloom]

His build is https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jQRXwh

[stoic island]

oh shiny

thats a big boi

@fierce badge is this for solely gaming?

[fierce badge]

For the time being, it will be yes

[stoic island]

do you plan on more thread intensive tasks at all?

because 10600k/10700k can make sense in this list

@severe bloom also the kit you linked was 16gb the one in the list is 32gb

[severe bloom]

Oh swore I picked 2x16

[stoic island]

made some adjustments and made into intel build as an option :
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yrLXwh

I would also spend a bit more on mouse and keyboard but

if razer is your thing

[fierce badge]

Well, other than running multiple applications at the same time, i believe i will be adding more monitors slowly, as 1440p monitors are... more expensive than i like. But, ya know, gaming with youtube in the background.
One day, this will be a business computer so thats why i went with ryzen

[stoic island]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fierce badge]

Funny thing, i was gonna go logitech mouse, and razer keyboard. but i didnt like the mixing of it for a setup, so i found the closest mouse to the top low priced logitech

[stoic island]

well

Logitech mouse + Corsair keyboard is what I'd like to have

brand synergy isn't smth I focus on

I like logitech mouses

I like Corsair keyboards

[fierce badge]

Fair. this is my first build, so i really dont know what i like yet.

Only reason im going so big is because ive gamed for many many years on console, and i know i wont regret it in the long run.

[little osprey]

guys i have a quick question about my build and it’s a problem can someone dm? it’s my first build

[stoic island]

My suggestion would be like Corsair K70 lux + Logitech G502

No need for DMs :P

[fierce badge]

God, the intel boards are so much prettier than amd ones

[stoic island]

I mean

there's more of em

[little osprey]

can i say it hear?

here*

[stoic island]

why not

[fierce badge]

the white ones are sexy

[viral ore]

yeeeaaahhhhh

they really do be

[stoic island]

yea AMD boards has those too

Asus X570-p

[little osprey]

my graphics card won’t fit into my slot but its like the things on the side that you unscrew is to popped out

it’s hard to explain

without a pic

[stoic island]

pcie bracket?

[little osprey]

i think

[severe bloom]

If you have a 3D printer can make custom “armor” for you mb. Will find quite a few plans online already for some MB’s

[stoic island]

the bracket on the case

[little osprey]

the hrackets

brackets

yes

[stoic island]

unscrew 3 just in case

and then line it up and plug it in

[little osprey]

oh wait 😂😂😂

i found out my problem

[viral ore]

😳 🥵

[fierce badge]

UGH

[little osprey]

the plastic was still on my graphics card insert thing

[stoic island]

@viral ore might be just me but that led display just doesn't work for me

[fierce badge]

that would top off my build of blue and white

[viral ore]

what led display

[little osprey]

i got another question

[stoic island]

my issues with it is circled

why isn't that top section just one piece

[little osprey]

what screws should i use to connect the bracket?

[stoic island]

also m.2 shields are lopsided xd

the screws the case came with

[little osprey]

a lot of different screws came with the case

[stoic island]

it started off screwed in

so whatever you took off

[little osprey]

oh

ok

thx

[severe bloom]

Usually thumb screws

[little osprey]

wait

my brackets didn’t come with screws

they were pop outs

[stoic island]

oh

yea

[fierce badge]

question,whats the difference of the Msi 2080 ti and the just regular founders edition?

[severe bloom]

Your case didn’t come with extra screws? It should of had something to hold a card in

[little osprey]

it did

but i don’t know which one to use

[stoic island]

moar fans

Just better cooling and some rgb

[little osprey]

like there is screw a b c d

[stoic island]

I think higher boost clocks too

but the gpu die itself is the same

[fierce badge]

gotcha

[severe bloom]

Did it come with thumb screws similar to these?

[little osprey]

should i just use any screw?

oh yeah

it did

do i use those?

[severe bloom]

Yeah

[little osprey]

oh ok thx

[little osprey]

Why do people buy so many motherboard I was gon buy mine today and it was in stock yesterday and today it ran out

Happened 3 times

[potent prairie]

Human malware

[severe bloom]

Well I didn’t like my mb so went and bought a different one.

[potent prairie]

Ey, indecisive gang

I resold everything I was originally gonna use for my build

Mobo, cpu, case

[little osprey]

I’m building my first and I’ve literally gone through like 6 motherboards and they all sell out when imma buy them

[severe bloom]

Where are trying to order from?

[little osprey]

Can i order from newegg.com and have it shipped to canada without it being equalized to the newegg.ca pricing?, some items i want are like double or even more then buying on newegg.ca lmao.

Newegg Amazon bh Best Buy

All I want to do is play some wow that’s it

This what am trynna do

It’s my first

I can’t send the link xd

[digital finch]

USD --> CAN dollars made me cry as well @little osprey

[stoic island]

USD->CAD pricing, also shipping. @little osprey

[little osprey]

@stoic island Yep, Some of the items are literally double in CAD lol way easier to just get it from the US

[alpine quiver]

hmmm

[spring jacinth]

how do I check parts compatibility

[analog hearth]

@spring jacinth I recommend putting your desired parts into PCPartPicker. it'll tell you whether your parts are compatible or not

[spring jacinth]

thanks, PCPartPicker is at newegg's site?

[analog hearth]

nope. PCPartPicker is its own thing. it'll tell you where you can get parts for cheaper, whether it's Newegg, Amazon, B&H, etc. Newegg has their own PC building list section of their site, but I haven't tried it out. PCPartPicker is more universal, I feel
https://pcpartpicker.com/

[mossy citrus]

Newegg pc list is meh

[fast dust]

That’s offensive to

[stoic island]

No

It's still in beta

Critisize it all you want

[pastel briar]

indeed

I played with it and they had almost nothing for servers, but then again I am playing with enterprise grade equipment so....

[desert gulch]

Altho weggs builder is better for comparing parts, imo.

[cloud drum]

Oh yes

AMD-chan

[sand falcon]

I don't understand why they have aprons. Do they cook the chips?

[cloud drum]

They might

[fast dust]

Yoooo AMD-Chan is in my pfp

[weary spindle]

Hey guys, you do I get permitión to post an image of the components I'm thinking about building? I want to get you guys opinion

[little leaf]

@weary spindle dm me a list

and I'll help you\

@weary spindle https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JMMNb8

something like that

[weary spindle]

Thanks I'll check it out

If I want to have a dual monitor and one is 60hz and the other one 144hz, is that ok??

[little leaf]

yes

[mossy sail]

Hey I’m trying to build my first pc and I’m having some problems and need help can someone dm me and help me thanks

[little leaf]

@mossy sail whats your problem?

[weary spindle]

Thanks for the reply and help 😎

[weary spindle]

@little leaf my cousin wants to build a 1080 144kz pc, just for gaming, what would be a good pc for him??

[stoic island]

whats the budget

[weary spindle]

Around 600 more or less

If it's posible

He says that if he can get something better and it's more money that's fine as well

[little leaf]

Don't think that would be possible at higher settings in tripple a games

[weary spindle]

What would be a rough price range for what he wants??

[fast dust]

That’d be like a 1650 super build right

That can get 144fps in esports titles easy

[little leaf]

for 600 yes

[fast dust]

My RX 570 does that

[little leaf]

But in tripple a titles no

[fast dust]

Yeah it’d only get like 60-80 FPS

If you got he lowest settings maybe higher but probably not 144 FPS

[mossy sail]

Hey I’m having trouble with building my first pc can anybody help me

[fast dust]

What’s going on my man

[mossy sail]

When I flip the switch on the power supply the green light turn on it and the motherboard rgb turn on but nothing else happens

[fast dust]

You need to press the power button as well

[mossy sail]

I did

[fast dust]

Have you connected the front IO connectors?

[mossy sail]

All but one that I have no idea where it goes and can’t find a port for it

[fast dust]

Which one

[mossy sail]

I don’t know what it’s called I would send a picture but can’t I’ll dm you a picture

[fast dust]

Alright

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729046390751100997/729046478974353468/image0.jpg

That comes from the case?

[mossy sail]

Yes

[fast dust]

Tbh never seen that

What case do you have?

[celest horizon]

USB type c header

[fast dust]

Ooooooh

What mobo you got my man

[mossy sail]

Nzxt h510

[fast dust]

Not case motherboard

[mossy sail]

Asus tuff gaming X570

[fast dust]

Read the manual and see where that goes

But that’s not related to the problem anyways

Make sure you have your IO connections correct, check this in the motherboard manual too

[mossy sail]

Alright

[fast dust]

If that doesn’t work poke where the power switch cord would go with a metal screwdriver and see if it powers on then

If it does, you have a case problem on your hands

If not, motherboard problem maybe

But I gtg sorry

[midnight pelican]

nice anime yams

[ripe wind]

I have a really dumb question.. I’m currently finishing my first ever build, nothing spectacular but just enough.. can some tell me what is a “operating system” is? Lol

[potent prairie]

You trolling?

[fast dust]

@midnight pelican thanks it’s Ryzen-Chan

@ripe wind like windows or Mac OS

[rugged spear]

An operating system (or OS) is a group of computer programs, including device drivers, kernels, and other software that lets people interact with a computer. It manages computer hardware and software resources. It provides common services for computer programs. An OS can be small (like MenuetOS), or large (like Microsoft Windows). Different operating systems can be used for different purposes.
