#

What do you think?

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

that one u linked me cost more lol

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

It's 1359, yours was 1463

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:02 AM

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

The price for the PSU and GPU are off

stoic island Jul 13, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

bb

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

They're out of stock at the place pcpp is pulling the price from

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

any downisde of going ryzen

#

amd

#

?

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

Downside is you get a 2080 super instead of a 2070 super

viral ore Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

less frames in certain games

#

but, not by much

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

bottleneck?

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

No

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

cheap mobo is fine ?

viral ore Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

bottleneck has nothing to do with brand lmao

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

The frame difference is when the GPU is the same

#

In this case, the intel system has a 2070 super and the amd system has a 2080 super, so amd will slaughter intel

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

so where do i get psu from

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

The mobo should be fine. You can get a better one if you want, but the 3600 doesn't need it

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

sense u said the price was wrong

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Right now the cheapest price for it is from amazon

#

I'll look if there's a similar PSU for cheaper

#

Will you be overclocking the GPU?

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

no

#

well

#

maybe if i knew how to

#

dont wanna mess with it

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

Cool. I found one

that one cost more then the last one

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

Crap, it's out of stock too

#

The other one costs $155

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

could wait a bit longer

#

any time on when it comes back in stock?

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

No clue

#

It just came back in stock about a week or so ago, and it's gone again

#

Not the best PSU, but it's cheap

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

u said earlier the mobo should be fine

#

what could go wrong ?

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

Yup

#

It could crack in half if you sit on it

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

whats up with the bios warning

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

Not an issue

#

When ryzen 3000 first came out, not all motherboards supported it out of the box. They've almost all added support now though

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

so once i build everything

#

just plug it in

#

and itll work fine?

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

With the usual caveats, yes

white osprey Jul 13, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

whats the usual caveats

#

ive built a pc once

#

was babied the whole way through

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Basically that you build it right and don't mess it up

#

If you can plug things together, the system will work

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

yoo

stoic island Jul 13, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Usual caveats being like : If you don't plug in the CPU 8 pin, it ain't booting

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

no real need

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

That would be the bios

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

I would like to upgrade from a 1080p 60hz monitor to 1440p 144hz one.

I am currently running a i5-490k CPU, GTX 970, and 16gb DDR3 RAM. I would like to upgrade to a RTX 2070 Super.

I have been researching about screen res vs cpu bottlenecking but have heard so many differences of opinion. If I get a RTX 2070 super will I be alright with either my 1080p or a 1440p monitor?

stoic island Jul 13, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

yes

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Yes

viral ore Jul 13, 2020, 1:18 AM

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:19 AM

I heard that a higher res monitor is actually easier on the CPU

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:19 AM

Depends on the game

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Sorry lmao

stoic island Jul 13, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Higher resolution I believe puts same load on CPU, but more load on GPU as it scales up

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Some games a higher resolution will force more of a load on the GPU. It depends what the engine does

viral ore Jul 13, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

framerate is very cpu dependant

#

in most games

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Right now, im getting pretty good frames in any game I play wiith my gtx 970

stoic island Jul 13, 2020, 1:20 AM

~~try rust~~

toxic wind Jul 13, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

I have to keep my settings on medium tho, id like the higher res and refrtresh rate

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 1:21 AM

It'll be an upgrade, just expect to upgrade the CPU soon too

Has anyone had problems with blower style gpus more specifically the Asus turbo 2080 super ?

probably, "problems" is very unspecific

Concerned about temps

And throttling in comparison to the other versions of the card.

hello everyone, recently i bought a laptop from newegg and it starts making weird noises since the third day i got it. Then i brought it to a repair guy and he asked me to find a new fan for it. i searched every where and couldnt find the right one. is there any experts i can discuss with here?

#

plz dm me

Sorry I have another question what watt for my power supply would you recommend for a Ryzen 5 3600x with a b550 motherboard and the graphic card is a RTX 2070 super

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

Will you be overclocking?

If anyone planning to buy a high end Turing card... Do research before buying pls :)

exotic bison Jul 13, 2020, 3:25 PM

No mostly likely I will not

little osprey Jul 13, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Hell even Facebook status from PC gamer and stuff like that know what's up and are like don't buy this lol

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Then you should be fine with a 650W psu

little osprey Jul 13, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

450w would even be fine

fast dust Jul 13, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Wait 450w for a 2070 super?

#

Or are we talking about something else

little osprey Jul 13, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

Well I'd go 550 to be safer but yeah sure

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

If you get a really good supply and undervolt you might be fine, but no point in skimping on a PSU

fast dust Jul 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Most 450w units only have 1x 6+2 pin connector, so, no. I wouldn’t get a 450w. 550-650 all the way.

exotic bison Jul 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Ok then I will look into a 550W or 650W thanks!!

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

np

#

Make sure it's a good PSU and won't blow up on you

little osprey Jul 13, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Those are all sold out :p

fast dust Jul 13, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

@exotic bison in the pins of this channel there’s a power supply tier list. Try to shoot for tier B+ or better. Tier B minimum. Don’t get tier C or lower. :)

sand falcon Jul 13, 2020, 3:33 PM

There are some still available

Quite a few actually

I want to try and build a high end Pc using a 2080ti and a Ryzen cpu at least, what are good parts to make this a beast of a rig? Also, i don't care for rgb so if it has rgb or not it's fine

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

budget?

#

and purpose?

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

$2500-$3000
High end Gaming and streaming

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

you could go intel

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

I'm not a big fan of intel, since I've used Ryzen for almost all my builds

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

So there is no way you will go intel?

#

since you going 3k build for gaming

visual crow Jul 13, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

its never to late 😭

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

I don't plan on using intel

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

Well you won't be getting the best gaming experience

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

I'm not going for 4k also

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

wdym?

#

cpu is used more at lower res

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

hmmm

#

okay

#

i don't know much on computer building specs so this is new to me

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

Do you want to do a custom loop?

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

But if you think intel is better can you send me a list with intel and a list with Ryzen

#

Imma probably air cool it since it's better than water cooling

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

Depends

#

air cooling more noise

#

looks worse

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

I'm still lenient on the cooling so either is fine

#

and looks don't matter much to me, performance is what i want

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

I just want to know if your comfortable doing a custom loop

#

oh ok

#

you don't care about looks ok

#

thats a firts

#

first

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

is custom loops mean custom water cooling where you have to do it yourself

#

I mean why do looks matter when you want to play a game or edit or stream, when your just gonna look at the screen and not the computer

#

But send me a list of a build with intel and one with Ryzen and I'll check them both out

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

just saying having looks couldn't hurt

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Yeah i know but performance come's first to me, so if it looks good yet performance is the first priority then that's fine

little leaf Jul 13, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Sorry Have to go do something can't make the list rn

#

just contact me when you get back on @little leaf

vestal cove Jul 13, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Hmm

#

I would probably do a liquid cooled system

#

Not air

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

@slow valve are you gonna be doing any workstation style stuff at all? rendering, etc? ryzen + nvidia GPU will be the best in that situation, otherwise intel is best for pure gaming FPS numbers. ryzen is still my recommendation just for price vs performance though.

vestal cove Jul 13, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

He said gaming and streaming

#

I’m pretty sure he can fit a intel cpu in that budget

slow valve Jul 13, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

I might make videos in the future

#

but I'm pretty new to the world of pc building and have little idea of what the specs should be and the components

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

nyone know a fix for this my friend is having problems with his ram. its always saying 4gb uasble even when hes not got anything open. hes just formated recently so it cant be a virus

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

@chrome coyote assuming he has more than 4GB installed, and it's across multiple sticks of ram in his system, try just booting with a single stick at a time, and test each one. one might be going bad

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

he has 8gb

#

and its 1 stick

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

in that case, there are settings in both the bios and windows that can end up reserving memory for hardware usage (like integrated graphics, etc), something might have gotten reset there and it's holding half his ram when it doesn't need to

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

whats the settings called

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

if you go into the boot options within windows (click start, type in 'msconfig' hit enter and click the "Boot" tab), there is an advanced options menu that contains a 'maximum memory' option. that should be unchecked. If it's checked and set to '0', that could be causing the issue

quaint cloud Jul 13, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

anyone got a suggestion for a motherboard to go with a 2070s and a 3700x?

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

he said hes alerady tried that so i dont think its windows reserve

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

do you know what kind of motherboard he has?

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

no he has a prebuild

#

which probably makes the whole thing worse

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

what kind of prebuilt? he can probably try and find a manual that outlines the BIOS settings, or if he's comfortable just booting into the BIOS himself, to see if there's anything that addresses memory settings

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

the brand of prebuild it awd it

#

i can give the link to the one he has

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:44 PM

ADMI Limited

AWD Titan RGB FX-8350 4.2 GHz Asus M5A78L-M PLUS GTX 1060 6GB VR PC...

#

it says 2 dimms so i will have to check with my friend to see

#

he does have 2 4gb sticks

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

is windows seeing a full 8GB but saying only 4 is usable? or only seeing 4GB total

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

seing 8gb but 4gb usable

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

ok, so it's not a bad stick. it's definitely a system setting of some kind.

#

if he goes into his bios, have him go to Advanced > Chipset > and check that Primary Graphics Controller is set to GFX0 (assuming he has the GTX1060 in the listing on the website), set UMA Frame Buffer Size to something like 64MB, and Frame Buffer Location to 'Above 4G'.

#

that's just making sure that the system isn't trying to set aside any memory for an integrated GPU that doesn't exist

chrome coyote Jul 13, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

hes got a 1050ti 4gb

spiral zealot Jul 13, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

either way, it's a discrete GPU, not an integrated one

#

so you want to make sure that the system isn't holding any memory aside for something that isn't actually there

any idea how long the wait will be

maybe even 4

if youre looking to spend like 1200 or more, wait

that's just overkill on everything... @drifting timber what do you do?

oh jeez @drifting timber

#

what on earth are you doing with that?

#

you did a decent job at picking parts tho

#

the only obvious things that are odd is your PSU choice

#

1000w is seriously overkill

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

850w bru and that's prolly more than enough.

#

But jealous of that pc choice.

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

Cooler overkill/overpriced, Mobo overkill/overpriced, Ram overpriced/overkill/not great perf, SSD way overkill, GPU somehow underpowered considering budget, Case overkill/overpriced, PSU Overkill

#

only thing that makes sense is the CPU, 3950x makes sense for some people

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Another way to look at each of those overkill/overpriced nods is. Quality/Expensive.

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

?

#

Overkill doesn't mean quality

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

I

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

hell I wouldn't call that aio overkill, just overpriced

#

just an average 280mm aio that's somehow 170$+

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

He's paying for it in quality, overkill doesn't mean quality you're right but what he has there is quality for EXTRA price.

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

idk, 4th gen ssd speeds might be helpful, unless the goal of this pc is literally just to be overkill

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

not really

#

I'll take an Arctic Freezer II over that

#

for cheaper

#

better cooling

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

For a 3400$ pc.

#

The goal better be overkill

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

i mean, its obv expensive, but it might not be overkill

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

Overpriced

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

True you don

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

maybe he really does need a pcie 4.0 ssd, and 64gb of ram

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

overkill in this case for example the mobo

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

don't know what they're doing with it.

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

what does that have a unify doesn't

basically nothing

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

i just didnt want to get into it now, because hes not buying for a couple of months @stoic island

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:25 AM

Just pointing issues out now

for the future

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:26 AM

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:26 AM

2tb gen 4 ssd as sole storage

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

when we figure out what hes doing with 64gb of ram lmao

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

the idea is to learn is it not?

#

also cl18

#

32gb sticks

#

that case looks like a phat o11 with fans lol

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

im just saying, if hes using it for work, and has money to throw away, then this is fine, so until we know use case, i guess we'll just wait for him to respond

#

or when he comes back in like 3 months

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

Even if it is for work

drifting timber Jul 14, 2020, 1:27 AM

hey was afk

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

why not grab say a Arctic freezer II 360mm for cheaper

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

i mean, yeah, lots of money in looks

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

I think honestly the bottom line is if he has money to throw away, it's his money.

drifting timber Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

i like to get the best of best every 3 years

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

yeah, they got money

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

and it's my choice to critique the part selection

#

why spend more for less?

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

nothing wrong with that

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

that's my point

fathom gate Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

And mine to defend his choices?

#

Is it not the same thing?

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

also true

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

anyway, matrix, what are you using this pc for???

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

But I never said anything about your choice to defend the options

#

Just on the part selections

drifting timber Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

gaming, multiple vms, cad

#

its easy to use up 32gb

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

i got 32 right now

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

yeah

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

why 32gb per stick is my question

i got 64 as well

#

it nice

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

cl18

drifting timber Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

32 per stick so i can upgrade

#

if i need to later

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

it's hard to find 32gb cl16 sticks

#

think I found some on newegg before, brb

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

he might not need that kind of memory perf for vms tho

#

like

#

cl18 is fine

#

or maybe 3200 cl16 might be better

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

all oos

#

I mean if you're allocating ram for VMs, why not take advantage of faster ram in the VMs?

#

It's not like VMs put a speed limit on your ram

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

because the ram is probably fast enough as it is

like

idk

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:31 AM

???

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:31 AM

it might not be noticable

mr weeb if you dont like my components what would you like

#

ohh

the thing is

like, if your getting a new system every 3 years, and you have money to throw at looks, then theres nothing wrong with this, its just that we all typically think more budget and price/perf wise

drifting timber Jul 14, 2020, 1:35 AM

yea sasy thats the idea

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:35 AM

if you're spending 3000$+ and don't have a 2080ti or equivalent in it
I'm gonna dislike it

price/perf of this system is kinda bad

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:35 AM

if you're spending top dollar for performance, might as well get the top performer you know

I kept the SSD in there because

well storage is reusable

worthy investment imo

10600kf+2070s vs 3600+2080s

It's just better gaming performance for more expensive

that's what Intel is for

Intel isn't for the low/mid end

okay so

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

if your using a 240hz monitor, however, i would suggest the 10600k

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:38 AM

10600k is a solid CPU for 1500$+ builds for sure

It can do everything then

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:39 AM

144hz? then the 3600 is the better choice

with a 2080 super it's basically guaranteed

at 1080p

unless it's like crysis rtx

what

psu should i get

maybe minecraft rtx, forgot how that performed

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:40 AM

so would you want to put your games on a 2TB HDD or the 1TB NVME SSD?

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

depends on the game

some random game you're not gonna play, hdd it goes

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 1:41 AM

rust needs ssd

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

some game you play a lot and want short loading time, SSD it goes

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

so i need a 650w psu yes?

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 1:41 AM

so high end games so on the SSD while the ones you play sometimes go on HDD got it

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:41 AM

550w works

so y did the person who made this list put a psu that was so high

lemme check 2080s power draw brb

So if you plan on overclocking you want the 3800X?

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:51 AM

if you plan on overclocking you want the 3800xt

but, thats assuming you literally only care about ocing

I don't plan on any over clocking anyway

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:52 AM

then get the 3700x lmao

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 1:52 AM

i was just curious

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

Just don't get the 3800x

#

that's what I'd say

viral ore Jul 14, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

yeah, its kinda in a useless spot

#

like, the only reason you would pay extra for one was for ocing

#

but, now 3800xt

#

so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

Yeah i have no plans to overclock

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 1:53 AM

even for ocing

it's barely better silicon

@stoic island

anything noctua

arctic has some good cheap fans

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 1:58 AM

okay thanks

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:02 AM

Noctua is best noise to performance hands down

:P

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

@stoic island do you think the pc parts list you gave me that it would have good cooling already or do i need to add some fans?

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:03 AM

can someone link a psu for 100

Recommendations for a 3-400$ laptop with a dedicated gpu? Used for random stuff and a bit of gaming, needs to be a laptop because I travel alot

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

one more 120mm fan in the back

#

that's all you need

#

@little osprey hard to find unless you plan on doing used laptop

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

hey weeb

#

the build from earlier

#

does it need an added fan?

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

never need

#

just good to have one as exhaust

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

Wouldnt mind getting a used or refurbished, I found one on newegg but it had no reviews, looked a bit good for the minor price of $321

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

did the case come with fans ?

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

Focus G yes

#

Focus G comes with 2 intake

#

could add 1 exhaust if you want

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:06 AM

okay

so

does everything fit

Saw this one but looked a bit good for the price, but its the best ive found for under 500$

you don't have much of an option at <500$

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

Yeah true

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

how big it the noise of a fan at 44dB compared to 18dB?

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

sounds like a lot but

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Nothing super serious, I have a HP 225 G6 rn thats way too slow for what I want to do, so an upgrade is in the future. Want atleast 8gb ram, ryzen 3 and a dedicated gpu

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

fan noise is hard to define

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

so it's a slight difference or a noticeable difference that's easy to ignore

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

high dB low pitch is a lot less annoying than low dB high pitch

#

what exactly are you comparing?

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

I'm looking at noctua fans and trying to Figuring out which to get

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

don't get the industrial ones

#

iPPC ones

#

those are loud server fans

#

the one that are like black + orange accents

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

Wait so get the ones that aren't IPPC or industrial

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

Yes

#

for example Nf-a12x25

#

those are recognized as basically the best fans you can get

#

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A12x25-PWM-Premium-Quality-Quiet/dp/B07C5VG64V/

#

a bit of a steep price

#

but really good fans

slow valve Jul 14, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

you said i only should need one right?

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 2:14 AM

Oh, another one I saw for about 330$ was the Motile 14" w/ Ryzen 3500U, hows that for mild gaming? Saw a review by The Toasty Bros and it seemed to play CS:GO at 60fps on 1080p low settings

spiral zealot Jul 14, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

For very light stuff it's not bad. It's limited to single channel memory though, so you're cutting the 3500U's performance effectively in half.

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

Yeah I just read that lol. Most games I play are low end, like Minecraft, Terraria, and some others but im wanting to play a bit better/more games. Atm I have to run mc with optifine and everything off, just to get about a steady 20fps

#

But I mean, a 3500u with 1/2 the performance, 8gb ram, would be better than my e2-9000e and 4gb ram 😂

spiral zealot Jul 14, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

Very true, sometimes you can find the Motile machines on eBay/Reddit for even less than initial MSRP as well. Something to keep in mind if you're looking for one.

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Alright, thanks! Been looking at Craigslist and ebay for custom build laptops too, a friend scored a ryzen 7, 32gb ram and a 2060 for 600$ recently

#

Not sure what I'm going to get yet, been looking at other laptops and making a list

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 2:57 AM

This looks like a decent one maybe? Didnt see if it said it had dual channel or not https://www.newegg.com/platinum-gray-lenovo-ideapad-330s-81fb0005us-mainstream/p/N82E16834850641#

Nvm, only has single slot

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

ok so

#

ive been thinking

#

2080s vs 2070s seems to have a maybe 20% dif

#

for a 200 dollar dif

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Yes

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

so should i just get the 2070s

#

i mean i dont do hardcore gaming

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

the more of your budget you can cram into the GPU the better

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

triple a games ultra settings 1440p

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

for overall performance

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

well

#

i need a monitor as well

#

and i could use that 200

#

on a monitor

spiral zealot Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

@little osprey the ideapad has dual channel, it just has 4GB soldered to the board and a single slot with another 4GB stick in it

#

so you can upgrade the single slot to 8GB and have 12GB total

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

if you need the 200 in the monitor

#

try to shave money off other stuff

#

if you cant

#

lower gpu

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

i mean its not like a 2070s is bad?

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Ohh I see, ty lol

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 3:03 AM

GPU = Your performance

so

yea

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

well

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:04 AM

$358 doesnt sound bad, but it does sound underpriced for the specs, could it or am I just overthinking?

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:04 AM

is there games a 2070s have hard time running?

stoic island Jul 14, 2020, 3:04 AM

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:05 AM

already said sorry D:

spiral zealot Jul 14, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

so $350 isn't bad for similar stats

#

i was able to upgrade mine to 16GB though, so it's a little more flexible in terms of upgradability

little osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:06 AM

Does anything with the ram matter when upgrading the 4gb to 8, other than maybe mhz?

white osprey Jul 14, 2020, 3:06 AM
