I hate taking them out, or maybe im just weak
fast dust
You gotta do the little wiggle wiggle to get them out
edgy viper
Can some1 help me find a good 1200w psu?
fast dust
Why you need 1200w @edgy viper
fast dust
You might need less.
What components you got
I mean not need less but could go with less
But if you really need 1200w Corsair HX1200i
edgy viper
Okay, I have a 3960x and dual 1080tis (moving to 3080tis)
edgy viper
Thx, I do rendering
edgy viper
I was also looking at the evga 1200w p2

Hey guys I’m building my first pc I’ve spent about 8 hours on this watching a ton of build guides the first problem was the motherboard needing a bios update to fit my new cpu and I bought the cpu required to bios update but I still can’t get a a first boot if someone out there could help me out I can send like 20 bucks your way
storm thunder
Asus b450 f gaming
3700x but I switched to a atholon 220g
Sorry 200ge
To get the bios update
fast dust
You can't POST at all?
storm thunder
Yeah
spiral zealot
if you're not getting any POST, check and make sure that everything is seated properly, ram, video card, etc. and make sure that if you are using a dedicated GPU that your monitor is plugged into that, and not into any video output that might be on the motherboard itself
fast dust
Yeah seems like a mobo issue to me
Okay this is gonna sound weird... but do you have your monitor plugged into your PC?
storm thunder
Yeah
storm thunder
The motherboard
fast dust
or does it not turn on at all?
fast dust
do the fans spin?
storm thunder
Not on the cpu fan
That’s the only fan I’m using
Because I have a open case
Which I know sounds weird
fast dust
What GPU?
storm thunder
On the gpu no
fast dust
Are you using stock AMD cooler?
storm thunder
Yeah
fast dust
Doesn't that one have 2 power connectors?
storm thunder
It only has one built in
fast dust
okay I must be thinking of different cooler then
But it just sounds like a motherboard problem to me
fast dust
not entirely sure though, might want to have a smarter person double check
storm thunder
Yeah
sand falcon
Sure
drifting timber
so dont build a new system right now then?
sand falcon
Now is a bad time to build if you have the option to wait
spiral zealot
yeah, pricing and supply is all out of whack, so if you can afford to wait, not a bad idea
vivid coral
He's got a arora
vivid coral
My friend
fast dust
That doesn't tell me anything but
vivid coral
I don't know
fast dust
uh
vivid coral
He just ask me the question
fast dust
Okay, as long as they're both the same form factor and will work in your board, it should work
It'll run at the slowest stick's speed and timings and all that stuff though
and won't be as fast as 2x8gb or whatever
but it will work
honest ridge
i heard that mother boards are not good to buy rn. is that true?
fast dust
With the virus many PC parts are overpriced or out of stock... motherboards included
modern shadow
I’m thinking of a cooler (ignore my specs) under 80 bucks and I’m eyeing the cooler master master liquid 120 rgb v2. Is that a good one? Tier 5 on ltt forums
honest ridge
so @fast dust you think i should wait to buy a CPU and Mother Board
fast dust
Probably unless the motherboard you want is in stock and at a decent price
hushed pollen
get at least a 240mm radiator with the AIO; if that's not a choice, just go with a higher end air cooler, such as a Noctua one.
fast dust
120mm RAD not worth imo yeah
modern shadow
Not in price range tho
hushed pollen
Noctua has some affordable options
modern shadow
Then is there an alternative air cooler?
fast dust
And be quiet
modern shadow
Yeah
hushed pollen
BeQuiet!, CoolerMaster, DeepCool, etc
I think Corsair's air cooler is $80, don't quote me on that
modern shadow
Hating on the noctua color scheme tho
fast dust
They have black colored ones
modern shadow
Is there any specific suggestions?
fast dust
Dark rock slim, again. Can’t remember price tho
modern shadow
Rgb would be best
deep skiff
scythe fuma 2 is pretty nice
modern shadow
I was looking at ma410l by cooler master
fast dust
Scythe fuma good performance. But it’s chunky and silver
modern shadow
Also
hushed pollen
240mm rad at minimum
dont get a 120mm rad
and tbh, I really enjoy my Deep Cool GAMMAX RGB
modern shadow
If I’m going rad I’m going for 360mm cuz my case got the space for it
hushed pollen
it's a good air cooler, although could have another fan
you won't find a 360mm for $80
hushed pollen
at that point just get a Hyper 212 RGB
deep skiff
hyper 212 isnt a good buy for the price
hushed pollen
It used to be
back when it was $30 
wait what the heck
it doesnt have 2 fans????
The one I put together for my friend came with 2 fans... Odd.
I'm not saying to buy this, but I'm interested in how well it'd work.
hushed pollen
I didn't even look at the size
I just saw that and laughed
I don't know if it'd work or not tbh, i'm interested nonetheless
deep skiff
yeah it looks so stupid with that longness lmao
deep skiff
lmao wtf is this
hushed pollen
@modern shadow my conclusion is that the deepcool gammax gt bk would be the best, price/performance wise, and comes with pretty good RGB.
@deep skiff buy link pls
;)))
i wanna test that so bad
and who the heck has the fan headers for that
deep skiff
dunno if they actually made it but i hope they did https://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/cebit_2012_alpenfoehn_cpu_coolers_take_centre_stage,1.html
hushed pollen
it's called the Vortez Everest
time to see price
yea i cant find a purchase section

why are there so many cursed cpu coolers

Which one should I get? I'm don't know much about PC's either
I'm pre sure 5700xt is the best but depends on ur budget
Broke but I can afford it within the next 2 months
Thanks
spiral zealot
The 5700XT is the better model. The RX580 is one generation behind in terms of technology
ashen needle
Trying to make a budget build around 700ish, any recommendations to lower the price a little? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8XRtGc
spiral zealot
You can shave some off either the SSD or the case probably, without sacrificing too much on the rest of the build.
As a note, the H510 has a usb-c port, but there's no motherboard header to support it natively, so you'd either just end up not using it, or needing a PCI adapter
So I'd say maybe look at a different case unless you're really sold on that one
little leaf
@ashen needle for 700 pretty bad
ashen needle
what would be better?
ashen needle
I like the m.2 you added instead
I have that case myself and it's pretty dang good
dunno why you need a 600W power supply unless it's for upgradability. And that motherboard would need a bios update to even use the 3600
which means buying an earlier processor, using it to update the bios, and returning it
little leaf
@ashen needle no it wouldn't
ashen needle
yeah it would? I needed to do that
eager chasm
most 400 series motherboards already are updated for 3000 series CPUs
eager chasm
the important part is if the box has a Ryzen 3000 Ready sticker on it
ashen needle
I did my build a year ago with an x470, and I needed to do the bios thing
ohhh, I see
wasn't aware of that, sorry
ashen needle
but yeah, thanks squidkiller. I'll probably go with a 580 since I don't mind paying a bit extra (this build is for a friend and I don't mind helping him with the funds) but the rest is really great
little leaf
@ashen needle I would rather have a 1650s over 580
ashen needle
didn't know a 1650s existed
little leaf
but sure a 580 is better sometimes I think
Or maybe most of the time
I can't remeber
eager chasm
1650 Super is quite a bit better overall
little leaf
ok thats what I though
eager chasm
little leaf
ashen needle
The 580 does get the 8 gb of vram instead of 4
little leaf
you could go 2600 and 1660s
ashen needle
oh true
little leaf
or 5600xt
little leaf
not anymore
ashen needle
nice nice
eager chasm
AMD drivers are never really fixed, they are just less buggy
ashen needle
thanks guys!
ashen needle
I know!
Just kinda wanna keep it upgradable just in case
Then again that’d mean getting a x570 and heck that
I’ll look into it
ashen needle
Ooo
little osprey
hey guys the leds on my fans aren’t working but one guy told me to set all the fans to pwm in bios.
would that work?
fickle rock
I can't link pcpartpicker, but i'd like to ask you guys some questions, i'm thinking about grabbing the parts for a PC and then waiting for nvidia to announce the 3080 line, would you have any MoBo suggestions to pair up with an i9-9900k?
fickle rock
it didn't allow me to post that build I wanted before lol
sudden turret
cause Rookie role.
fickle rock
ah okay got it
what do you think about that?
I was thinking not getting a 2080 tbh since we're so close
or evga'ing it once they get back up
sudden turret
once you hit lvl 3 (bluename) you'll be able to post links.
fickle rock
thank you!
sudden turret
or go around it and del the http:// part and bot won't flag it
that's a pretty crazy build
fickle rock
the first build i had on a 960 lasted me well over 6 yrs lol
sudden turret
400 bucks in corsair fans lol
sudden turret
lol
fickle rock
someone said apparently i'd need a bunch of fans generally for it
technically first time me trying to touch high end so idk how cooling works like that
sudden turret
need a bunch of fans for what? lol
that aio is plenty for the cpu, so that takes care of that heat. as far as the gpu
you're still good
sudden turret
depends on case. but you got the lian li
so depending how you set it up
3 bottom intake, 3 top exhaust would be good airflow
and your side mount for aio
as exhausting out
you can save a bit on that copy of win10 also
you can create a bootable thumbdrive for free from microsoft.
head to ebay and snag a legit key for around 10bucks.
'download tool now'
install to thumb drive, good to go

I'm newish here, anyone have some good budget rgb strips? I just built my first system in a red/black theme and I can't show it off because it's too dark inside my nzxt h510....lol
potent prairie
You can also do some research and buy generic ones that work w/ your chosen controller
potent prairie
Like iCue works with any ws2812b argb strip with an adapter
potent prairie
You can make your own or buy one off eBay, I will link it
sudden turret
cause I use ICUE, and have strips.. but its mobo bound.
and Im stuck using ...rgb fusion
🤢
potent prairie
It's diy, you have to configure the strip as if it is fans... You have to have the ws2812b led protocol tho
sudden turret
oh so you need the node..
potent prairie
Yeah
sudden turret
doh.
potent prairie
Works nice for ambient lighting tho
obtuse kiln
Hi all, having to rebuild my system as it originally wasnt getting the temps I wanted. Needless to say I fit a corsair h80i v2 and a hybrid 2080 into a lian li tu150 originally using the gpu as an intake and the cpu as an exhaust. My liquid temp gets to about 43c on the cpu with it running at about 64c with spikes to 77c (3700x) sadly I cannot fit the cpu at the front intake would it be bad of me to buy a dust filter and make the rear exhaust an intake and make my front intake an exhaust for my GPU radiator (gpu temps run amazingly never goes over 51c with a 90Mhz oc on the core and 500 on the memory.)
little leaf
@sudden turret why wouldn't you give him a 10900k?
sudden turret
huh?
sudden turret
that was his build, I just linked for him,.
little leaf
oh
sturdy thorn
Is it overkill to have a samsung 960 pro nvme m.2 512GB along with a samsung 840 EVO ssd 1TB? Or should I just swap out the 840 with a WD caviar black 500GB HDD and call it there?
mint spindle
what gpu do you guys suggest for a ryzen 7 cpu
little leaf
@sudden turret I mean I wouldn't pair it with a 2070s
sudden turret
why not
little leaf
if you want it for gaming
then go r5
2080s
your saving 100 dollars on cpu then you spend that on the gpu
you can cut some corners hopefully get it to a 2080s
@sudden turret unless your doing things cpu intensive
spring prism
If u buying ryzen 7 get 2070 and above
Because why get a really good chip with like a 1650/1660/2060?

@sturdy thorn a bit overkill
sturdy thorn
@spring prism I got all 3, both ssd's are going into a pc I built to sell. Should i just swap the 840 then?
spring prism
Think so mate
what gpu do you guys suggest for a ryzen 7 cpu
@mint spindle if u going for ryzen 7 it’s best to go for 2080 and above
Because why get a really good chip just to pair it with a 1650/1660/2060
This is if u have the budget for it,if not downgrade chip
little leaf
I would rather have a 2080s and 3600
spring prism
Same lol
spring prism
I’m using a 3600 and 2070s
Did not have budget for 2080 sadly
But I’m happy
It’s a big step up from my gtx1060 gaming laptop
exotic bison
Hi I am building my first gaming pc and I would like people who have built them before for any thoughts if I could have the same performance but cheaper. Here is the build:
CPU: (1) Intel Core i7-10700 Comet Lake 2.9GHz Eight-Core LGA 1200 Boxed Processor
Motherboard: (1) MSI Z490 MPG Gaming Edge (WiFi) Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard
RAM: (1) G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL18 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F4-3600C18D-16GVK - Black
Video Card: (1) ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Super ROG Strix Advanced Overclocked Triple-Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 3.0 Graphics Card
2.5" SSD: (1) Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD 3-bit MLC V-NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive
stoic island
Why that CPU choice?
exotic bison
I picked it because when I went to mircocenter they said it would the best for playing Destiny 2
exotic bison
When what would you recommend?
sudden turret
usually people don't pick the non K version is what he is getting at.
mint spindle
Thank for all the help
cursive wharf
I mean, you are also at 2070S rn too. So Intel is kinda eh anyways
Intel doesn't really beat AMD due to price increase and having a worse GPU
So example would be like 3600+2080S vs 10600k+2070S. Think same budget
sudden turret
no 3600xt?
exotic bison
So then it would be better to get AMD cpu instead?
cursive wharf
Eh, makes AMD budget more expensive
Not really a "better" amd CPU. For your budget and hopefully not getting anything overpriced, I'd take a guess that you are withing Ryzen 5 3600+2080 Super budget
stoic island
3600xt gonna be expensive tho
mint spindle
I think I’m going to go with the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card
exotic bison
I was going with the RTX 2070 super because it would be more in my price range. Would the Ryzen 5 3600 still be good or is a different Ryzen CPU better?
exotic bison
awesome would I need to swap out my motherboard or RAM due to the different CPU?
exotic bison
Thanks I will look into them
Also since the Ryzen 5 3600 is unlocked do I need to buy any addition fans for the PC?
exotic bison
I'm still figuring out which case to get. If it doesn't include fans what kind should I get?
desert gulch
Up to you, there's hundreds out there
digital pecan
@lament valley it looks good
stoic island
MX330-g is an option if you really want tempered glass for some reason, only 1 exhaust fans
Focus G should be ~55$, MX330-g should be ~50
exotic bison
Awesome I will check them out if my case doesn't have fans. Should I still be fine with my choice in ram or do I need something different?
This is the ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL18 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F4-3600C18D-16GVK - Black
stoic island
get CL16 ram
hidden relic
Good Luck!
stoic island
3600cl18=3200cl16, and 3200cl16 is usually cheaper, so either way the cl16 option is better imo :P

so my led lights on my pc work, but it turns off after a bit, i don’t have anything installed like windows. And there is a button at the top of my pc where everytime i press it it works again, but after like five seconds it stops.

Made a beep correct?
And what motherboard
Can you hear the sound and does it come form the motherbaord

idk

Your lucky I have a spare and I can look at the manual
wary geode
It can signify something
little osprey
oh ok
people told me that it’s because i haven’t installed windows or anything or like i have to go into bios and make my fan speed faster
but idk
wary geode
Anything used?
little osprey
also the front panel connectors i don’t know where to put them because the mother board didn’t tell me in the manual
no
wary geode
See if it’s correct and the names are upside down to the case
little osprey
ok but i don’t know how to put it in right the manual didn’t say anything
wary geode
Does it speed up or slow down
little osprey
@wary geode when i turn it on it’s at a good pace and then when the led lights turn off it slows down
and when i press the button at the top it speeds up
and then slows down
wary geode
Ok cool I think I know
little osprey
oh ok

the speaker front panel?
wary geode
Yea

ok
wary geode
Here’s chart
little osprey
and if it’s - it’s i out it upside down?
little osprey
if it’s - right?
wary geode
Put it kind of a block and put it in
little osprey
my power led has 2 - but one plus so does that mean i put the the plus in the plus and i skip a minus and put it in the other one?

@wary geode

Yes

ohhhhhhhhhhh
ok
brb
yeah but if that’s the case why does the hd + come first but in the reset the - comes first?
wary geode
plus minus
wary geode
yes
little osprey
ok
fast dust
Yeah or set fan speed in BIOS
wary geode
normal amount just google
little osprey
would the fan speed fix the led problem?
fast dust
perhaps
Maybe it's set to zero in the BIOS and whenever it's set to 0 the LED doesnt turn on
little osprey
@fast dust yeah but it turns on for a few seconds tho
wary geode
try and go into bios or download windows
fast dust
Mhmm that's probably because it takes a second to get into BIOS and load settings
wary geode
might have to take out cmos battery if this holds up

and there is a button on the top when ever i press it it turns on
ok
i am about to@install

it's probably worth it, lay off the card for 40, ram, 20, bundle the mobo/cpu for 50
idk
it's gonna b some work to sell it

cablemod looks the same for $50 so i'm just wondering if i can save a bit
tribal tendon
Lvl 3 grind
earnest olive
i also prefer 6+2 over 8 for pcie
fast dust
I think cable extensions aren't good to cheap out on either. Can't remember exactly why
earnest olive
the $40 set comes with 6+2 while cablemod and the $37 set come with 8
i don't feel like $37-40 is cheaping out
just not cablemod
tribal tendon
My first build missing gpu Buying soon,is the cable management good?
earnest olive
well you've taken the picture at an angle that hides most of them
i think i might go with the $40 kit just so i can have 6+2 pcie instead of 8 pin
stoic island
yea lol
earnest olive
think i should go for it?
stoic island
6+2 cables give more opportunity

i got it after a windows 10 update
fast dust
Usually it's not needed unless you have a super long and heavy card
tribal tendon
Oh ok

@tribal tendon what model though
tribal tendon
That’s the thing since prices are rising I’m switching between cards
shadow mango
@fast dust so its on my laptop can i delete it and everything will still work
fast dust
ah I see
tribal tendon
So if it’s sagging I should buy a support bracket
fast dust
@shadow mango what?
tribal tendon
I just wanted to buy it because it would be custom so even more rbg
fast dust
Yeah if it starts sagging then you can get one
tribal tendon
Ok thx
shadow mango
i have a recovery folder in my laptop do i need it or can i get rid of it and everything will work properly still cause i keep getting a messsage low disk space
earnest olive
wrong place to ask
fast dust
recovory is if anything bad happens to the machine or something so I'd keep it just in case

i know this is a build chat but almost everyone in here is super tech savy and okay thank you

Where do I look in my Manuel to find out what pci slot ima put my gpu in
Nvm found it

@fast dust
i just finished downloading
windows ten
so now what do i do to my fans
languid shell
anyone know how I would replace CPU fans on an AIO with ARGB fans? Would I have to use the CPU Fan Header at all? Or will my system not boot if I do not use it? New to building and dont actually know how this works and I cant find info anywhere lol
spiral zealot
It should be pretty straight forward, the power for the fans will go to wherever the original ones went, either the pump or the motherboard headers. the only thing will be the extra RGB connectors for the new fans, you'll need to run them to some kind of RGB header, either on the motherboard or to a controller of some kind.

hey peeps fairly new
is this a place to ask for build idead ?
or should i bugger of ?
gilded wraith
nah youre in the right channel
little osprey
hey guys
i need some help
i’m trying to boot up windows on my hard drive and it’s not booting up
everytime i go in bios and i select a different boot option and it doesn’t work
orchid canyon
what drive did you install windows to?
river spindle
hey guys. i’m currently trying to build a budget pc. i’m interested in getting a intel i3-9100f with an asus prime h310m. do you guys think the mobo would be updated to support the cpu out of the box?
orchid canyon
contact the manufacture
potent prairie
As far as I know Intel chipsets don't need Mobo update
That's the benefit of dropping the old socket every other generation
sudden turret
yes and no.
fast dust
@little osprey try looking in the BIOS for fan settings if you haven’t already
little osprey
i fixed it
winter marsh
I have only one serious problem with ryzen cpus
analog hearth
and what's that?
winter marsh
the entire rtx gpus can't keep pace with them
stoic island
?
analog hearth
my 3600 is actually bottlenecking my 2080 Super rn
winter marsh
even a 2080ti is bottlenecked by any cpu over a 3600x
analog hearth
I mean, it's a 2080 Ti
stoic island
unleash the 2080ti
winter marsh
almost waiting for the rtx 3000 series
winter marsh
i wanted a 3800x-3900x but there isn't a gpu that can keep up with em
covert shale
without OC set up the peak cpuv is set to 1.4v
insanely high
i pulled it down to 1.2 and was able to actually bump the core clocks up
to 4.2ghz
analog hearth
hmmm I should turn on PBO and see if that fixes my bottleneck issues
winter marsh
maybe its because all the cards are still pcie 3.0
need the new pcie 4.0 gpu cards on the market
analog hearth
doubt it
covert shale
3900x is so good. when i stream to twitch i use the cpu encoder lol
stoic island
lol
covert shale
at 6000kbs and 1080p
and drop zero frames lol
not that a 1080 ti cant handle both lol
winter marsh
started out wanting a 3700x but would rather go with the xt series
covert shale
yeah i heard good things about it
would love to see it peg a core at that speed lol
stoic island
lol
winter marsh
well the gtx/rtx series would be great if they could still sli i am betting
covert shale
have to wait to swap my profile back on till after the drive wipe is done
stoic island
might try auto oc
stoic island
ye
covert shale
with .2 volts less lol
covert shale
why you ppt 1000 lol
stoic island
nan
winter marsh
i also have to decide on a cpu cooler
covert shale
you could never come close to that, you would melt a hole in the mobo before you got 1/3 of the way lol
also
covert shale
it claims you are using LN2 lol
stoic island
that looks better
covert shale
or were lol
stoic island
0c 0mhz hmm
covert shale
ghost cpu lol
mortal rampart
I thought that too but it's actually just the current speed Lmao
That's what happens to mine at least
analog hearth

severe bloom
covert shale
@severe bloom i would drop that 1.4v down to like 1.2
1.4 is like for people trying to get 5ghz lol
sand falcon
@wise quail Saw your question in tech-deals. What games are you looking at running?
wise quail
welp I just figured out the promo code was actually for 25$ off not 25% off so I am big dummy
severe bloom
@covert shale that is auto pbo doing that since I was building something in the background
covert shale
yeah based on some OC yt peeps the only meaningful thing to use is manual OC
and that there has been some cpu degridation due to these cpu being defaulted to 1.4v
but personally i just know from exp 1.4v is like the upper limit of things
unless you are litreally just looking for highest clocks for no reason
velvet rock
I posted this on build pics, but i think it goes here looking for suggestions on parts I havnt already purchased
fast dust
If you want suggestions, you’re gonna want to tell us your budget and what you use it for
subtle flint
can someone check out my build
ill list the specs
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (14nm) 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Team T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Kingston A400 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4 GB OC Video Card
NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case
Cooler Master Elite V3 400 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
(i already ahve the case and graphics card from a previous build)
final void
Is the h510 in stock rn?
subtle flint
it is on amazon
final void
Nvm it is
subtle flint
any suggestions for a cheap 120gb ssd thats good
subtle flint
okay 🙂
i havent built this yet but i just wanted someone to look over my parts list
fast dust
Get CX 450 or cooler master MWE instead or something
fast dust
In this channel’s pins there’s a power supply tier list @subtle flint. Take a look at that. Shoot for tier B or better. Tier C minimum
final void
final void
Oh alright
subtle flint
opinion on Thermaltake Smart 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
ive gotta budget to stick to :/
fast dust
No no no
Cheap out on anything but your power supply
Thermaltake Smart it tier D
What about Corsair CV450
Or lemme get you a good one lemme grab the link
spiral zealot
or the EVGA BR 450, i think that's a tier B, and at normal prices is about $50
fast dust
Oh nevermind the one I had in mind is out of stock
final void
Hows the EVGA 500 W 80+
subtle flint
alright
spiral zealot
@subtle flint https://www.centralcomputer.com/evga-100-br-0450-k1-450-br-80-bronze-450w.html - $50
subtle flint
ty ty
spiral zealot
and they ship
spiral zealot
(that's my local store so everyone feel free to buy from them so they stay in business)
The 500 BR is also in stock and only $55
rough loom
I miss the days where you could grab 1,000 watts for like 110 bucks
fast dust
Want cheap power supplies back
They’re so freaking expensive now
If their prices could just go back to what they were like 5 months ago even
@spiral zealot might order that BR for my next flip 
spiral zealot
i picked up a 450 BR for that exact reason lol
but i was able to do local pickup because they're like 5 minutes from my house
subtle flint
okay, so my build only needs about 300 watts but the EVGA BR 600 W 80+ Bronze is 70$ and the 450w one is 120$
makes no sense
fast dust
@subtle flint. 450 is $50. @spiral zealot just linked it
spiral zealot
how is the 450W $120? did you go through the link i posted? or find it somewhere else
spiral zealot
use my link for central computer
if you're in the US
they don't ship internationally unfortunately
subtle flint
okay

does anyone know if exposing the bus on a motherboard would wreck it. there 2 spots the size of a toothpick tip

Can someone help me to see if this pc be good and not bottleneck anything
The link to the build list is this
sand falcon
@olive ledge It is a very expensive build. Working on shaving it down
Do you need wifi?
Tower coolers are starting to get stocking problems now soon 😢
This is still a bit more expenive than it could be, but I kept most of your aesthetic choices, shaved it to under 2,000, and increased performance to boot

stoic island
Intel option with some changes at 1700$
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BpsqFG
sand falcon
Well, if you're getting cheap stuff I can shave the AMD down a bit more
I just went with something that would look about the same
white osprey
can anybody link me laptop can at least run league and has an ssd
under 200 including tax
sand falcon
Might be able to find a think pad on ebay, but it probably won't run league
white osprey
not even lwo setting
sand falcon
Maybe on ultra low settings at 280x320 resolution
white osprey
what about castle crasher
sand falcon
Let me check recommended specs
white osprey
was trying to find a thinkpad x240
found one for a good price
wait a day
sold out.
sand falcon
You should be able to find more. There are always several on ebay
edgy viper
only thing I'm seeing new in that price range is chromebooks
sand falcon
Castle crasher will probably work
only thing I'm seeing new in that price range is chromebooks
@edgy viper That's what ebay thinkpads are for
white osprey
i do not liek chromebooks
any links tho?
i find some for 169
then 15 dollar shipping
15 dollar tax
sand falcon
Should be an SSD
stoic island
It's a SSD if it's unmodified
the specs that it comes with doesn't include a 240gb hdd option
sand falcon
Small crack near the back left hinge and some keyboard imprint marks on the screen
Note this
edgy viper
white osprey
seems like the only one for 200
and doesnt seem to bad
what does bios locked mean
analog hearth
Dog
sand falcon
Bios locked means it sucks and you can't reinstall the OS
Also, that's a pretty bad crack
I recommend keep looking
white osprey
at this point i just want a laptop can could at least run castle crashers
maybe rotmg
sand falcon
rotmg?
sand falcon
Looking it up
sand falcon
Is there any chance of earning a bit more money?
200 is tight for gaming, even minimal low settings gaming
sand falcon
Wait, why do you need a laptop that can run games when you have a ~$1400 desktop?
sand falcon
Castle crasher can probably work on a thinkpad. Can't promise though
viral ore
yoo castle crasher fun as hell
sand falcon
I'd recommend swapping in a 3600 for the CPU
white osprey
is it thhat much better?
