#

#

for reference, new it's abt 2000$

potent prairie Jul 16, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Yeah, and I got a AX1200I for $100 on ebay

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

owo

potent prairie Jul 16, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Open box 🙂

clear remnant Jul 16, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

I’ll look into open box then if I get the time

#

But thanks for the help guys

clear remnant Jul 16, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Would it be fine if I changed the ram to this one:

#

It’s not letting me send the link

#

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

potent prairie Jul 16, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

I will make this case work with iCue if it's the last thing I'll do

📎 20200716_135115.jpg

#

@clear remnant that is slower ram, and speed does matter on ryzen. But if you are willing to make the sacrifice...

clear remnant Jul 16, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

I won’t do it then

#

I was also wondering if it’s worth it to upgrade the cpu to a Ryzen 7 3800x for $27 more

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

No

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

no

#

@clear remnant

#

it's only 100 mHz extra boost clock

#

tbh idk why amd released it

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

As a 3800x owner, no.

clear remnant Jul 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

Ok, so stick with the 3700x?

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

Yes

clear remnant Jul 16, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

Okay

#

Is the 2070 better than the 2060 super?

deep skiff Jul 16, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

yeah by a little but it’s not worth $50 more or a lot more

clear remnant Jul 16, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

Okay

Sketchy, but it works :)

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

should i go with a 10600k or a 3800x

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

What is your use case?

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

gaming, streaming and a smal bit of editing

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

What's your budget? Do you already have the rest of the system?

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

no just thinking about it my budget is around 1700 pounds

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

So basically we're looking at a 2080 super or 2080 ti in this system?

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

2080 super

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

Will you be overclocking?

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

probably

#

yes

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

I'd go intel then

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

ok thanks

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Or a 3600xt

#

The 3800x doesn't really overclock that well

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

intel best for gaming as theo says

So I have an upgrading question to ask. First off here are my specs for my PC, just looking to see what the next logical upgrade should be for right now or in the near future:

B450 Aorus M
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 OC 6G
Ryzen 5 2600
NZXT Kraken M22 AIO
2 x 8gb Gskill Trident Z DDR4
2.5GB Hard Drive Storage
500GB M.2 Storage

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

k

#

whats the q

sharp latch Jul 16, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

What should be the part that I should replace first?

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

what res/fps do u game at?

#

@sharp latch

sharp latch Jul 16, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

depending on the game it can get up 120-150FPS on the high and 30FPS at the low

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

yea, but that wasn't my question

#

what is the resolution of ur monitor, and refresh rate

sharp latch Jul 16, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

1920 X 1080 and 75Hs

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

ffff

#

monitor for sure

#

get 2k @ 144 or 165

#

that's abt 300-350$

#

couple that with a 2070 super, ur awesome

#

what's the upgrade budget? @sharp latch

sharp latch Jul 16, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

I was thinking around $500 but if its monitor AND Card, I'm gonna have to rethink things.

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

hmm

#

if it's 500, don't do monitor+gpu

#

sry didn't know the upgrade budget

sharp latch Jul 16, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

it's all good, just wanting to put things in perspective.

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

instead of those, get a 3700+new mobo, which'll put u at abt 500

#

or

#

get a 2070s

#

and set urself up for the next upgrade to be monitor

#

or, if it's for gaming, get new peripherals

sharp latch Jul 16, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Great, i appreciate the insight. now I know what to look for.

cooling, ram, storage is fine

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 7:10 PM

Don’t upgrade the cpu

arctic jungle Jul 16, 2020, 7:10 PM

cpu only if u plan on upgrading gpu

which I assume u do, for next gen

Asus rog Strix 5700 XT or a 2070 super?

spiral zealot Jul 16, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

streaming or no?

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

Rest of the stem can handle streaming with a 5700xt

little oak Jul 16, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

someone help me with my build

spiral zealot Jul 16, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

if you don't want to leverage NVENC, then go 5700xt, it's cheaper

little oak Jul 16, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

i need to make sure my build parts will work

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

@spiral zealot well 2070s does have slightly better perf

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

I was just about to ask that

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

and if you want ray tracing

little oak Jul 16, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

someone help me with my build
@little oak

spiral zealot Jul 16, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

it does, but personally i'd save the $$S

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

I would too, but he said his system could stream with out nvec

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

3800x 32g DDR 4 3800mhz m.2 nvme main drive 1tb ssh (sata2) secondary

spiral zealot Jul 16, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

imo, the performance between the two is close enough that unless you want the bonus of using NVENC, it's not worth the 2070s price

#

but that's just me

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

I would go 2080s

spiral zealot Jul 16, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

there aren't enough games using ray tracing for that to really factor in

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

More then double the price

#

Also looking for a card that has a water block made for it

#

That's why I went with the Asus rog Strix 5700xt

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

do you already have everything purcahsed?

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

For liquid cooling?

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

no the rest of the system

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:35 PM

Yeah

#

My 5600xt died

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:36 PM

whats the purpose of your system?

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:36 PM

So I'm replacing it

#

Everything

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:36 PM

whats the main purpose

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Programming

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

I see

#

then you don't need very much graphics

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

Rather have it then not

#

My kids play games on my computer as well

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

Ok then go wwitha 5700xt its cheaper

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Ok, thanks you

#

Now what's going to be the bottle neck in my system?

little leaf Jul 16, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

the gpu

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

Depends on what you will be doing

#

I get have a 2700x and 1660s and I get CPU bottlenecked more often than GPU bottlenecked

Im having trouble getting to post and I've tried checking the cables are secured tightly, taking out the motherboard battery and then putting it back, reapplying the cpu and thermal paste, taking out the ram, putting in a graphics card. If anyone can help me trouble shoot this that would be great!

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

What motherboard

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:06 PM

hi im rob

#

its a msi b450 tom max

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 9:06 PM

There's a led on your board right?

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

yeah I noticed a few on the upper right half, close to the ram

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Yup

#

After you turn it on what light does the led go?

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:09 PM

theres a few mini white ones and then there is a red one

Anyone have a good 600$ build they r willing to share

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:11 PM

@little osprey I'd start off with a ryzen 3 with a rx 570 to start you off or even a 470

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 9:12 PM

Ty

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

@regal basalt pretty sure the red led is a issue with your cpu

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

you think that mean I have to update the bios? (the box said ryzen 3000 ready and my cpu is a 3800x

orchid canyon Jul 16, 2020, 9:20 PM

What revision is your board?

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

@little osprey I'd start off with a ryzen 3 with a rx 570 to start you off or even a 470

Yo I have a question. I have a asus tuf gaming x570 motherboard. It has wifi support. Do I have to download a program to enable wifi or can I just build my system and wifi should already be supported to connect to the internet?

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

It should be able to use wifi out of the box

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

so the led that is lit is dram @sand falcon im trying to locate the revision and im still looking for it @orchid canyon

fathom plover Jul 16, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Okay. Cause I don’t have an ethernet cable right now so.

#

I kinda need it to connect to wifi

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Dram sounds like it would be more of a ram issue, so that's interresting. You said it's not able to post?

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

Yes @sand falcon It powers on the fans and rgb but the monitor doesn't show a connection. so i thought maybe its posting but i can't see the screen so I ran a test with a console. Monitor works.

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Okay. It shouldn't make a difference, but what slots are the ram sticks in?

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

they are not in but when I did try them in it was in slot a2 b2

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 9:39 PM

Try putting in the ram and then see what the LEDs show

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:43 PM

Hello everyone I had some questions, I have about a 2,500 dollar budget for my pc adding in a monitor and high end mouse and keyboard. But I never built a PC before just only ever had prebuilt ones and laptops. I want to built this one myself but I am extremely scared of messing up and don’t even know where to begin

#

The only thing I know for sure is that I want the centerpiece of my build be a 2080 super

regal basalt Jul 16, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

no but im going to try that now @sand falcon

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

@regal basalt Cool. Most motherboards won't boot without a gpu installed

#

@knotty ruin Does that budget include monitor, keyboard, and mouse?

pure gaming or do you do anything else

#

if it's pure gaming, go Intel 10600k or 10900k

#

If you do other stuff, AMD 3700x or 3900x or 3950x might make more sense

knotty ruin Jul 16, 2020, 9:56 PM

Stock is fine if you want to leave on default

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9MQz3t what would this build be good for? @stoic island I forgot. Also yeah the GPU price hasn't been fixed yet

that's just for an all purpose build

#

you can game

#

you can video edit

you can render

If i considered upgrading it in the future what would i do?

#

@stoic island First that is?

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

dunno

#

depends on what comes out next generations

#

3700x should be capable for a while

#

2080ti maybe even longer

sand falcon Jul 16, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

It would depend on what you do

and what comes out next

weary spindle Jul 16, 2020, 10:34 PM

What would be the better option? B450 tomahawk( $125) or b550 gaming plus ( $150)

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 10:34 PM

if AMD and Nvidia starts doing the Intel doctrine, might be a decade before you have to upgrade ;)

#

B550 DS3H
95$

why do you only have those 2 options?

Hi, new here... my computer died finally and I am looking to build a new one that is basically the PC equivalent of something like an iMac Pro. I understand that I need to select a processor, memory, and storage. In building out the perfect iMac, I included their 2.3GHz 18-core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.3GHz, 128GB 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory, Radeon Pro Vega 64X with 16GB of HBM2 memory, and
2TB SSD storage. While this was way above my price range, my brother indicated that I could build a PC-component based unit with excellent parts for much less. I have no idea what PC components to look at that would be on par with the ones I listed. I am not committed to those parts in particular, that was just a wish list build-out on the Apple site. I am definitely open to suggestions as to which of these may be too much or not enough. I am working with the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite as well as a few other design-based software products and will be creating craft-training and how-to videos in the near future. I know this isn't anywhere near the level of need that a game programmer or action video developer would need but I am also concerned about buying something I'll outgrow quickly and have to replace too soon.
Thanks for any and all help.

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 11:21 PM

Alright

@little osprey Here's an example for something on the consumer platform that's similar

3.5GHz 16-core AMD 3950x, 64gb 3600mhzcl16 memory, RTX 2080ti with 11GB of GDDR6 memory

3000$ is final cost

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 11:26 PM

Bought a AMD and it gave me a fan but I also got a Cooler Master fan because I thought it wouldn't come in with one

#

Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition CPU Air Cooler, 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes, 120mm RGB Fan

#

It says on the AMD, Wraith Prism Cooler

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

On the 3600, it comes with a Wraith Stealth. 3600x Wraith Spire, 3700x/3800x/3900x Wraith Prism, and 3950x doesn't come with one

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 11:34 PM

3700x

#

I'm just wonder if I should use the Wraith or Cooler Master

viral ore Jul 16, 2020, 11:35 PM

well, you could just return the 212

little osprey Jul 16, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

whichever is more convenient for you

viral ore Jul 16, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

the 212 isnt gonna perform better than the stock cooler enough to make it worth the cost of the 212

stoic island Jul 16, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

if you need that 20$ or so refund, refund it

#

if you like the rgb on the prism, use it

#

if you like the look of the 212, use it

#

I still have my stock coolers, a wraith spire and a wraith prism

#

could sell it later on ebay or smth

Ok, this might sound kind of silly but I’m wondering if a PSU would have any impact on the PCs performance? My PC seems to be underperforming compared to my brothers, even though mine is better than his. I can post specs if needed

Specs

#

Also when you say underperforming compared to bros setup, are we talking drastically or minimally

#

Mine: Ryzen 7 2700, 16gb DDR4 3000 speed, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, MSI Radeon 5700, Thermaltake 500w non modular

#

I’d say drastically. He seems to get 30 or more FPS than I do on the same games

#

And he runs at higher settings too

#

The PSU is from a pre built. I know it sketchy but I’m hoping to get a 650w soon

I can post his specs too if needed

As a loyal member of air cooling gang i think that’s a mistake

@Mr1111 does that cooler come in black?

stoic island Jul 17, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

D15s chromax exists

#

but I like the noctua feel

marsh kiln Jul 17, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

It would not match and in my opinion noctua colors are really really bad looking and if I was to go with that kind of a cooler I think I would go with a dark rock pro 4

#

But I am looking at aio for it

stoic island Jul 17, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

dark rock pro 4 blocks ram rgb tho

#

aio do be expensive too

marsh kiln Jul 17, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

I'm thinking about the NZXT Kraken Z63.

#

What I have found it says that cooler is the best for that's cpu

stoic island Jul 17, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

NZXT AIOs are pretty expensive tho

#

they're all good tho

#

but on the same level as say a corsair H100i

marsh kiln Jul 17, 2020, 6:17 PM

I will think it over some and watch some nitwit and ltt and see what I think

Once I finish my build and use the usb from an old laptop 2 get windows 10 on it how exactly do I install my windows 10 key so it’s not a pirated?

#

Or am I completely wrong abt how everything works

stoic island Jul 17, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

theres ways to check keys

#

lemme find the program

#

theres the windows PID checker I used a bit ago

#

theres also a way to check with cmd

#

to see if pirated or smth

#

ohh wait you want to know how to put in win 10 key

#

@little osprey during installation it'll ask you for a key

#

but anyways heres how the PID checker looks with my own key plugged in. blocked whatever might reveal my key

@stoic island Would mounting a GPU vertically be better than horizontally?

stoic island Jul 17, 2020, 6:33 PM

no why

you're just making it so the GPU has to suck on the panel for air

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2dQg6R what do u guys think about this build

desert gulch Jul 17, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

Get a faster m.2

#

Like an mp34

#

And could get cheaper ram if you don't care about RGB

potent prairie Jul 17, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Solid build. You don't strictly need a faster ssd, but an nvme like a MP34 would be nice

#

Consider options from gskill if you want some cheaper rgb ram, they are usually cheaper for the same latency and speed vs Corsair options

desert gulch Jul 17, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Just saying for the price, I'm pretty sure you could get an mp34

#

I think they are on sale rn

#

But don't quote me on that

hey everyone, I have a budget of 1600$ (can be a little bit above) to upgrade my setup, what should I upgrade? It'd be awesome if you made a list and linked it if you like) don't worry lol, this is just a regular notepad file.

some things i didn't know exactly what model/what it was called

raw igloo Jul 18, 2020, 5:37 AM

I would probably say 2 new monitors

#

And wait for new gen stuff to come out because then you could splurg on a 3000 series

#

@next tangle

@next tangle the monitors could range from 200-500 each depending on what you need. The 3000 series could be expensive as well.

Well, I have my computer chair where I can actually sit in it again. Part of me wants to grab that old desktop tower and open it, if only to clean it out. It is probably so freaking full of dust at this point.

how much storage do you expect to use and what type? @sullen robin
Like for example a 512gb boot disk, 1tb ssd to edit off of, and say a 4tb hdd to store things

knotty ruin Jul 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

A buddy sent me the one he has and he said that one he has used for years with no issue so I just ordered the same one

with all that extra money you could go custom loop

If you have a single use case mathematical algorithm, fpga is almost always the way to go for speed and effeciency

and up to 1000$ for just audio/mic

no amp dac owned afaik

for older pow coins that are stable I agree, I tend to do allot spec mining

i was thinking about this monitor that’s asus 144hz 0.5ms with gsync, three of them for 250 each

sand falcon Jul 18, 2020, 10:02 PM

How is speculative any different on a GPU than an fpga? You still need to make the kernel

stoic island Jul 18, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

1080p?

#

I was suggesting 1440p monitors

#

165hz 1ms with g sync compatibility

sullen robin Jul 18, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

yeah 1080p since i have no needs and won’t ever for 1440p and up

sullen spoke Jul 18, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Haha ye for interface you can look at goxlr or I think rode procaster it is, both great. Mic depends what you use for. Sm7b sounds great, needs to be a bit close and can be quiet, you can look up how they pair with with rode and goxlr, might need a cloudlifter if it too quiet

stoic island Jul 18, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Well it's just 1440p looks nicer

sand falcon Jul 18, 2020, 10:03 PM

imo, it's harder to right fast and efficient CUDA code than it is to write fast and efficient hdl

deep skiff Jul 18, 2020, 10:03 PM

lol 2500 for peripherals and only going 1080p is a little overkill

You could try a 27in 1440p 165hz monitor + 24in 1080p 144hz monitor at the start to see if you really can or can't see a difference

#

you'll need the 1080p monitor for console stuff anyways

#

and if you don't like 1440p, return it

sullen robin Jul 18, 2020, 10:05 PM

but should i really spend 1200 on just monitors

stoic island Jul 18, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

that's what many people do

sand falcon Jul 18, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

The big difference is that a GPU is locked into a certain configuration, so you have to work around that if you want speed. With an FPGA you get to pick the configuration, so you don't really need to worry about it
