I wonder if someone is gonna make a death stranding build from Nvidia
@agile bear why would you water cool 2070s?
Cuz y not?
cause ur spending a lot on a water cooling a card thats not worth water cooling
I mean, $200 or so for great AIO I'd assume, $150 or so for okay custom GPU only, $300 or so for entire custom loop with okay quality and RGB
ye but could save that money for an upgrade in the furtue
is 55-60 good for a cpu while just browsing the web?
I am running r5 3600 with wraith stealth
it can get to 85-90 while gaming
for third party coolers thats really bad
its stock
sry
i just ordered some more case fans... that will help it i assume?
Not by much
atm i have 1 intake and 1 exausht
More intake fans
i have room to put 2 at the top, or i can put 2 on the front. I ordered 3... what should i do?
I took of the glass on my case and tried playing a game, this time it was chilling in the 70-75 region
so i think its airflow
which should I enable/disable? I'm switching from an AMD GPU to an Nvidia GPU
generally removing all traces of the old GPU would be the best bet i'd think
yeah that's where I was stumped lol
just don't know if I should've enabled it or not
I guess everything else looks good too
I currently have a build with an i5-9400f and GTX 1660. Im looking to upgrade to an RTX 2070 Super. Would I experience a harsh bottleneck from my CPU with this new setup, or would I be good to go?
Nothing harsh
Thank you
hello people
hello
ryzyen 7 3700x or the 5 3600x I'm looking to play aaa games and have a regular computer for work and school
i want upgrade ability
Are you planning to do workstation tasks such as video editing or graphic design?
im not buying the new xbox so that i can purchase this, and no i do not do any edititng or graphic design, but i also never had a computer that could do those things
by budget is just around a grand+
A 3600 should suffice tbh
Nearly same single core performance as a 3700x and way cheaper
leaves more room for a good gpu
Not worth it imo
Your essentially paying 50 extra dollars for the letter x
You won't notice a difference in most tasks
Hey whats a good aio for the price? I just bought a 360mm master liquid and it has air in it so I wanna return it and get another.(also there controller wasn't very nice.
ok i will be doing the the 3600
Ok ill look at that one the last one I saw by them was really pricey
I guess its worth it though if I don't get issues again
well i just bought a cpu
Yeah i just bought the x73 I wanted to fill out the top of my case again and depending on how the fans perform i have extra. And amd is the way to go @velvet rock
nice now i just need everything else
im on part picker trying to see what else i shoudl do with it
I'd look into x570 mobos wait for a deal to pop up
And m.2 storage is amazing highly recommended 970 evo
so i wanted to do a big hdd like 3 tb and the like a 500 gb ssd hows that sound
970 evo overpriced
That would work out fine id install windows on ssd and games on it as well
so these acronyms arent helpful im still lokoking at mobos
I have the evo and the WD both work really well
evo works well just overpriced
I got mine on a deal if you wait a lot of stuff pops up on hot deals on newegg
Depends on what you really want to do
gaming home theater work school and other plus upgradable
Mid tower and up would be easier to work with and upgrade
MP510 is also good drive but not great pricing
@velvet rock what case do you want
that's the deciding factor
everything else doesn't really matter
@stoic island know if I can use a 220t with an aio?
Fractal design is a good company to look at @velvet rock good cable management and affordable
or anyone know?
prob
Was looking at it
and they said most vrm heatsinks on the block the rad
Meshify C is a great case if you add extra fans
and fans
nah I just want a good looking case
and don't say the td500
I don't like the front panel on that
I'm using the lian li 011 dynamic and I honestly love it lots of room i have a top rad in it but it also my first case so I'm no expert
Can easily add fans as well with it i have 9 in total and temps are great
I love the TD500 mesh
its so good
Same front look as the Meshify C
except with argb
I think case just comes down to preference mine was a little spendy to be honest
Case goes to preference as long as theres good airflow
trying to find an available alternative to the zotac gtx 1650 super for a budget build
anyone have any thoughts on going with Gigabyte 1650 super on newegg?
ive used the zotac but not this one
im actually looking at mobos right now
and i like the h510 case, but ive seen alot of people use them
Theyre popular for sure, but they don't have the best airflow
im just looking through completed builds on pc part picker
just used the cooler master q300l in a build that i thought looked pretty good
L
i settled on Phanteks Eclipse P400 ATX Mid Tower Case
looks good
yeah i tried to get an upgraded one in white for ten extra bucks but im good
I am confused on Graphics cards
thats been kinda daunting
im seeing gforce and radeon on similiar builds
thats the two big options
i should prolly get a motherboard first ey
build it all on pc partpicker and order it all together. i get everything in my carts to make sure all of its available and then purchase
yeah thats what im doing
laptin get the p400a
Reason: Bad word usage
i have the p400 and the front panel airflow is crap
p400a is just the p400 but with mesh front
A stands for airflow
I'm new to building PCs and using newegg, but I made a PC up to 1,700 basically and I was wondering if monthly payments is possible
(I'm basically a dunce to this and I'm not sure if there is one)
well would you look at that
Iโm in the middle of building my pc and Iโm lost. Can anyone help
Whats your issue @turbid narwhal
I need help with building my first PC my budget is $1000 CAD
I also do streaming if that changes anything
probably want an nvidia gpu in that case
I'm trying to upgrade my CPU and motherboard. My current CPU is a "AMD FX 8320" and my GPU is a "Radeon RX 480". I was gonna try to get suggestions from you guys.
i have a $500 dollar budget but would like to keep it around 400
wait until there is no longer a motherboard shortage because the good value ones are currently gone
you either get garbage tier or overkill tier
both are a pretty bad option
question ab graphics card, can anyone help?
me waiting for my pc parts to arrive
rx 480 still aint so bad, id upgrade the platform first for sure @honest ridge
if you can find a cheap b450 somewhere
is there any new leaks on zen 3 release?
i put most of my pc savings into nvidia stock while i wait for ampere lol, turning that 3060 money into 3080 money lol
can i upgrade my cpu on Intel Corporation DH77KC motherboard ?
thanks
looks like you can slap a i7-3770K in it
i have I5-3570K
thanks for help ๐
Ah box
?
Hey I got a question, I got new internet of 1 gig speed. my motherboard says it has a 1 gig network adapter.. I'm only getting 400-500 megs a s econd it caps out at 500.. but the tech came test the speed. he took my direct ethernet cable that connects to my pc and measured the speed it gets 986.. but my pc is bottlenecking it and I can't figure it out why. Any suggestions?
I don't have wifi but not sure how to get to that screen
doesn't matter wifi or not
goto Network and internet Settings
double click your active connection
ok so when I do a speed test.. my cpu under performance jumps to 90-100%
but I still cap out at 500
when they check your cables, did they check from the modem? or the wall?
chrome and edge
hrm
what mobo?
msi mortar aresnal
have you tried updating/reinstalling network drivers
I did update the network drivers today
and I did turn off the energy saver for ethernet
I also ran all my spyware clean ups and everything.
the ethernet usage is at 0% to 0.1
open up cmd prompt
ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset
netsh winsock reset
then reboot
type them one at a time?
no one at a time
nbstat is failing to purge -rr access is denied
netsh ipv4-6 worked
winsock = run as admin.
open cmd prompt as admin
ok I am used to typing run/ cmd
good to go?
have you tried using different server?
like to test speed
or just using 'the best' it gives you
er 'optimal server'
I tried 2 different servers
speedtest.net says 421
the other speed test site said 220
fast.com so ya
I seriously appericate the help.
have you tried resetting the modem?
yes multiple times
is this spectrum?
xfinity
they provide hardware?
the tech was literally just here and we went over all of this.
ya ๐
we reseted like 8 times
he checked the wires, he checked the box, he checked the entire house, he checked out side, he checked every cable every everything
all getting 1 gig speeds
just the second you put it in my computer it caps out at 500 ๐ฆ
Maybe your computer doesn't have gigabit Ethernet?
it does
Or it's on some baloney power saving Ethernet mode
do you have another PC/laptop/phone even to try
I turned that off already
hey
the tech replaced the cable too ya
he used both cables and tested the speed on his meter all 986
this is why I am so freaking confused and lost
it's either your mobo, or windows.
ummm sec
Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151
I'll call msi and see what they say
but I am sure its windows
it's gotta be a setting
thats what I am thinking cause its litterally capped
but I can't find that one setting and I'll be damned if I am calling windows and paying 100 dollars for them to find it
exactly
win10 pro?
ok lets go back to cmd prompt (admin)
try: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
test
try a few things
next 250
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
actually that did something everything that was not hitting cap hit cap now
ok one sec
hot damn speedtest.net broke 505!
getting screen
whats the exact model of the msi aresenal
MSI Arsenal Gaming Intel Coffee Lake B360 LGA 1151 DDR4 Onboard Graphics CFX Micro ATX Motherboard (B360M Mortar)
hi
hrmmm where do I see this? cause I found something but there is a lot here to take pics of
what
ugh i'm honestly not a fan of dragon centre
you have a 2080ti? ๐ฎ
but as a fellow MSI mobo user i pretty much have to
yes
wow
lol
niceee
hence why I am trying to get this freaking working lol
exactly!
the back I/O
cries
lol
I can take a pic if you want? lol
There should just be one, according to the website
10/100/1000 LAN Port
I'm assuming we've already reinstalled network drivers?
Blur
does that board have a Killer lan. the software is horrible?
yeah killer lan SUCKS
so bad
I think thats Gigabyte stuff
though
my wife has/had it.. causes so much issues
MSI has their weird gaming lan driver
I have an asrock with killer and just the drivers work fine, but the killer software causes massive issues
yeah I asked about that fluff
'LAN manager'
one sec too many things going on at once hrmm
Killer
cable length?
it thats the correct board linked its an intel
Not using a Ethernet splitter right?
they have a pretty baller system.
i assume it's not cable length that's the issue either
Lol
aside from it being an i5 non K

ew, dragon center
yeah no that's fine lol
maybe?
let me try the drivers.
I really dunno what else to do.
then if that don't work I'll uninstall dragon
okay, sounds like a plan
what driver off that page box should I grab?
Open a cmd prompt and paste the following
ping www.google.com n-20
ok got it ty
LOL, I know nothing. fake it till you make it
He definitely has more knowledge than I do
uh oh
huh
you under admin?
ping www.google.com n-20 (is what I put in under admin)
it says administrator command prompt
:\
its either spectrum cable, or dsl
xfinity cable
ok, not packet loss which is good
no I was refering to mine ๐
Ohhh lol
delay
LOL bad parameter
one sec I'll be right back being called I gotta take this
ping www.google.com -f -l 1500
ok back
@celest horizon https://www.newegg.com/silverstone-model-sst-ecm22-pci-express-to-sata-card/p/N82E16815256028 would that work in my set up? put it in slot 3 4x lanes from chipset and then sata
keep lowering the mtu value by about 10 until it goes through with 0 loss
so try 1490
hopefully you end up somewhere around 1472
1470 0 loss
try 1472
ok, then you dont need to play with the mtu settings
1472 in windows is normal for cable. the value you would see in your router or modem would be 1500 because there are 28 bytes worth of header data
Your speed issues are not due to packet loss or having to resend data
thats good to know.
you are plugged straight into the xfinity hardware?
yes
Yo anybody should i get the rx580 now or save up for the rx5600xt
direct line
no extra router in between
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25016/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10
those are the latest direct from intel. Slightly newer than on the msi website. I have the same driver installed on my gigabyte board.
Intelยฎ Network Adapter Driver for Windowsยฎ 10
ok back
installing that now lol
ok installed
200-300 speed tests now sighs
fas.com broke 400
410 which is the highest i got on there
yup same speeds basically
i'm calling msi lol
if they can't help I'm just taking my pc to staples or something
I have issue with my pc. Almost the parts from Newegg.. it's restart randomly

@warm nova @sudden turret @jagged ember ty so much for the help ๐
i tried my best
you issue was rebooting randomly right @whole slate , do you oc at all?
Do you have drivers installed correctly?
possibly a bios problem?
ok ok
is there something you do that usually causes it to reboot or just random
are u pressing the reset button 
if I reset optimize default will restart quickly every time with no stop you can't boot the system
@wintry gust sorry we couldn't fix
when I active the xmp profile
will work the windows and will restart randomly twice a day or three times
I tried to replace the psu nothing happen
updated bios with chip driver and the same problem
i got a mess of cables at the back of my desk. how can i clean them uo
do you know if anything is overheating possibly
it looks hideous
cableties
i dont think zipties can handle all of that
lttstore.com ๐
i need a modular power supply
holy crap
my monitor just died for a sec
but were good now
@sullen spoke well it's 1.4 voltage with my cpu and the idle temp it's 63
i need a modular power supply to make cables look good
no bsod or error code?
no
could try this to stop the rebooting https://i.imgur.com/Kg3T8Q7.gif
uncheck the auto reboot
and now i must restart my pc cuz windows is stupid ๐
ew pink
shush box
lol
msi said that my internet provider has capped my bandwith
Most internet providers do
cause msi forced the network adapter to only see 1 gig speed
and he said they are going to tell you that they are not and they are going to put up a fight
when I did call them they were like well you have too many devices on the network...... ffs
You say the device is getting gigabit?
well its supposed to
What does it get?
but I'm getting 300 to 500 capped
Wifi or ethernet?
ether
What cable type?
yeah bob its weird
the ether net is seeing 1 gig speed so.
I had them reset everything
they're getting 986 from the modem, but not in windows.
and msi did a setting that you guys didn't do either and he said whoever helped you before knew what they were doing ๐
So the router is getting full gigabit, but the computer down the line is only seeing 500 or so?
ya they had me go to speed duplex and set it to 1 gig
yup the router is getting 1 gig but the pc is not
the same cable that was test was getting 986
I don't know what else in windows could cap it to 500
it has to be ISP
I don;t think they can cap past the router
so msi lied?
msi tech
Not necessarily. How long is the cable run?
from modem to pc
the only thing I can think you could do, is buy a pci ethernet nic card
What motherboard do you have?
ya the tech said to do that
msi b360 mortor?
intel*
yup
Bah, intel
I do not trust amd anymore
they got a pretty decent build aside from that
prebuilt ye?
trident?
or something
I built it myself
rofl
ok so you installed windows then
yup
ummmm not since I replaced the parts..
a usb what?
Is it live boot time?
Can you live boot windows?
updated to latest windows
but its better with usb.. cause then you have it for backup
Why not do a quick test in Linux before reinstalling the whole OS?
bruh
its 2020
how do you not have atleast 10.
in various sizes.
and areas of the house.
lol
If you can find a 4GB stick that will work
so if you had windows previously on drive, and did a huge part swap
that could be your issue
driver*
windows thinks you still have old hardware
uggggggggggg
but also says you're good to go
Could be that
which is confusing it
Can you find a 4GB USB?
I do not have one
but not to the point of BSOD
An SD card might also work
Wow
so whats another 10 bucks
my account is at 35 cents atm lol
What are the specs? I'm curious now
yeah bob they got 2080ti/32gb ram
msi 2080 ti trio
its a beast.. aside from the cpu
What's the CPU
poor locked i5
its getting upgraded later
8400?
I think so
If you do upgrade though, you're gonna get a new motherboard, so that might fix the speed issues
Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151
Yeah, that thing is bottlenecking you hard
I don't need to upgrade the motherboard from what my repair store said but I was thinking of upgrading to a newer msi gaming board
how did you go about picking all your parts?
I mean right this board is going for 160-180
If you want a CPU that matches that GPU, you would need a new mobo
yeah def
did you have someone help you pick parts?
or did you just yolo oon pc partpicker
ya my computer guy picked the motherboard
I was thinking 4600 or 10700
well
the processor is what I had on hand already sitting brand new in a box
11700 if it exists by then
oh
he's litteraly the best in the city lol
That explaind only having 6 threads in a top tier system ๐
๐
my city sucks... I literally have the best pc in the city.. no one in my city has this lol
are you sure abotu that
I live in amish area yes
You don't need one that has worked on it before, you just need one that is smart
ha!
literally 10 minutes from me lol
good guess.
I live in amish area yes
@wintry gust Maybe we're neighbors
Pa
oof
Bah, PA
haha
yaaaa.... I hate it
Intel and PA
Insta-ban
rofl
I say city but its really a town
my system has a good water coolant system too
uhh I don't have the link for that one anymore
OHH! ok sec
rofl
Lmao
I want real time pics!
Its a corsair water coolant
my phone does not like taking pictures of my pc in clarity lol
clean the lens ๐
is is clean! lol
yup
did you ever get that one driver downloaded?
hm ok, so let do this
just completely unistall it
don't install anything (youwill lose internet)
then shutdown (not restart)
give it a few seconds, power up and let windows do it's thing.
can even go as far as disconnecting the cat 6 from the PC and then plugging it back in so it registers the change.
uninstall all of that
I also don't have auto disable gigabyte
I did do the duplex
so yeah I would uninstall any/all of your network adapters
shutdown, and then windows comes back it should install the proper driver
Saying AMD there is normal, but uninstall it anyway
MSI
ya the disable gigabyte is not an option on my list
proper driver for you new mobo anyways
what was your old system that the drive was in?
no dumb questions, only silly answers.
cause the only thing its letting me uninstall is the network adapters in device manager
uninstall ALL network adaptars?
remove these.
no but the driver is there
I uninstalled the vpn
but its still there
ok
do I need to download anything before I do that?
no
when you reboot, you might be without internet for a minute unstill windows installs the proper one
if not you atleast have the msi lan driver already downloaded
yes I do
well
its a program driver not direct hardware driver
should i delete the driver?
thats my water coolant
Box is techie
update via windows update?
I just bought an Western Digital SSD for my PC any recommendation what else I need to install it? I also have 1TB hard drive already but I want to use my hard drive as the slave memory
update from windows says display driver.. so prolly not
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 26.20.12028.2
where does it say you need to update
well the fact i lost energy eff box
and everything else in the advanced section
and i'm still getting crap speeds
yup it had to go online to install
apparently the pro intel thing does not support this device
ya box apparently i can't get access to that disable gig speed so maybe it is windows?
got back to 500 though
what are you screwing it into.
This
an ssd mount?
That one wouldnโt go in all the way I tried a different small one and it worked
ah
Thanks for the help ๐
perfect
Iโm trynna buy around 1000 pc should I save up a little bit more money for an RTX 2060 super or just go a bit cheaper and get a 1660
My budget was around that and I got a normal 2060
Alr thanks
2060 can fit just fine, you might even be able to get 2060s or a 2070s
If you can find a good sale, it's still possible, but yeah it would be tight
depends on rest of the specs
TN usually has highest refresh rates and lowest response time
but VA and IPS panels could have the same specs with better color
ips best color, tn technically best for speed, there are plenty of great 144hz ips panels tho
most 240hz panels i see are tn
Saw a 240hz ips panel a bit ago
yeah they are starting to come out
Iโm looking for a 144hz monitor
lol mr1
idc other info, if you want 1080p 144hz this is the panel
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475047
i saw that one coming xD
Everyone loves that monitor
It's just me
oos at b&h tho ๐ฆ
Especially Mr1111
Iโm just glad the price is still the same
why block ipv4
So howโs everyone doing?
because
Wi-Fi 2
Ipv4 is your local network address 182.168.x.x is local
Does no one else any good without the actual modem ip
yes
better safe than sorry
yes
even then you can honey pot your outward facing IP

that will show those filthy plebs
spiff
192.168.0.0/16 ips means nothing, it's fine to share
hey guys wanna know my ip?
1.1.1.1
it's 294.36.12.1
lol
someone actually kept sending me their ip, i was so confused
Donโt forget you are in #building-and-recc-chat
oh yes
@stoic island check resource monitor
TM doesnt like to show everything usually. So not too surprising
My friend asked me to put a budget build together for him around $1,000
Can you guys just pick at it before I give it to him make sure it's good
@vivid coral few small issues
-SSD isnt NVMe, just SATA M2
-Case is meh price and has poor airflow
-PSU has coil whine issues
also GPU, if not streaming/video recording then get 5700XT
Ohh boy.. ok I got off the phone with my service provider... they finally said... its NOT your pc... I don't know why the tech kept saying that.. @sudden turret
I know he'll have to update the BIOS
Also they only gave me a cat 5e cable....
also probs not, BIOS is updated from factory. Only way to get old BIOS is from old stock, which is very hard to come by now a days due to being like 10 months since BIOS release and stock being beasically non-existent for some months since the virus
Ok
How's the cooler master q300L
As a case
And that way it saves little money to change that PSU
forgot the hdd, here
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cDT7L2
You know what I'm just going to do it myself
is the asus tuf vg27wq g sync compatible
Okay help I've never seen this before
Helping my partner out and she cant seem to find a matching cable to this. She already has 6 pin to molex connected to this last header. The motherboard is ASUS Strix ROG B450-F
Ignore it
It is connected to fan controller which controls 4 fans so it's ok?
ah -_- thanks
Well Rosewill V500 has fan hub controller
Oh you are powering a fan hub with molex, usually rosewill hubs are powered with Sata power
That is different but I think I got it resolved. Thanks
Ah well good luck with the rest of the build
Well it's not a header, it's a power cable, and some people still need them
Not many, but some
dats normal
and my laptop idles in the 80s
laptops are just on a completely different level
I want to replace my motherboard that went bad.I now have a gigabyte AX 370 Gaming 3. Could I get a better motherboard for $150 or less?
Used for audio production.
What CPU?
Also, are you using motherboard audio or do you have a pcie or external card?
External
CPU is Amd Razon three 1200 Iโd like to upgrade that also in the ram is DDR four 2/16 GB. Would like to be able to upgrade the RAM to at least 64
What speed ram?
I think itโs 2400 Iโll have to look when I get home
R3 1200 but want 64GB RAM? What use case you got there for the PC?
Only useful use case of that configuration I can think of for that is NAS
CPU is Amd Razon three 1200 Iโd like to upgrade that
Audio production can be memory hungry if you have long works with lots of tracks
If it's 2400MHz, I would recommend getting a new kit entirely
Do you need wifi?
No Wi-Fi. I just record my own stuff.
You have ethernet then?
No, I just use Internet to get updates
Do you connect over wireless or with a wire?
Wireless
Cool, so you need wifi
Yes
Thanks Iโll check it out
When will you be looking at getting a new CPU?
Not sure
Okay
It's not the best motherboard, but it's decent for budget builds
Just don't pair it up with a 3900 or some such
can sum1 put together a list for 1100 with mostly csgo and a bit of streaming
@sand falcon thank you
@hollow grove nice desk
How can I shop for the best CPU that's compatible with my motherboard?
what mobo
How do I know if my 24 pin is connected
push it in
When I pull it is hard but I never heard a Snap
Or. A pop when Iโm connected
It
them 24pins be tricky sometime, i think there is a clip on the side of the connector
24pin doesn't make an audible noise like ram
theres a clip
you can usually feel it click tho
if there is no gap between the connector and mobo, you're good
if you see a gap, you need to push it in more.
you can use your fingertips and hold the mobo so you're not flexing it to much
@sudden turret
yeah
What do you think
i needs to be flush.
