many people with 5000$ budgets do xDDD

sinful canyon
#

fpga is all closed source

sand falcon
#

No it's not

next tangle
#

5000$ split between PC and peripherals

stoic island
#

I think scythe is going for 3x1440p monitors?

#

or was it someone else

sand falcon
#

You take the code, you compile it, and you send it over. The fpga reconfigures its hardware and starts working. Some of them have closed source communication protocols for reconfiguring, but that's no biggie

stoic island
#

monitors are pretty important

#

but in the end it'll be your choice

#

I'm just suggesting you try 1440p again

sullen robin
#

not when you smashed a 1200$ stand alone monitor because you have anger issues

#

sorry i’m describing myself

stoic island
#

heh

#

3x400$ monitors so only 400$ of damage at any time!

deep skiff
#

hey at least u dont break monitors without touching them like me :v

stoic island
#

How do you break monitor without touching them?

ashen needle
#

I'm using my ryzen 3600 and two corsair 3200c16 ram sticks in the correct slots, but my NB Frequency is still only 1600MHz on CPU-Z?

📎 unknown.png
sullen robin
#

i literally raged so i stood up and kicked the monitor 10 times

deep skiff
#

idk but its in rma rn so cant wait to get it back

sullen robin
#

and threw it out my window

stoic island
#

1600mhz is the true frequency

ashen needle
#

ahh

stoic island
#

DDR doubles it

ashen needle
#

Yeah I know that

#

but shouldn't the NB Frequency be higher?

stoic island
sudden turret
#

no

deep skiff
#

its usually a little off like that

ashen needle
#

ohh gotcha

stoic island
#

yea it can be like 2mhz off

ashen needle
#

mmhm, understandable

#

thanks!

sudden turret
#

mr1 for techie

ashen needle
stoic island
#

yes i am of techie

#

wtf

ashen needle
#

his NB Frequency is way higher

sand falcon
#

mr1 for techie

deep skiff
#

bruh what he has ln2 or something

ashen needle
#

probably

sullen robin
#

hey @sullen spoke are you able to make me a setup with a budget of 2500$ including triple monitors with a desk mount that lifts it off the desk, mouse, keyboard, mouse pad, microphone, boom arm and audio interface if needed

stoic island
#

oh I see

#

apparently it's northbridge frequency, and on intel it gets weird

ashen needle
#

ahhh gotcha

sullen spoke
#

Oh idk if I can make a list rn, I’m away from home for a day or 2

stoic island
#

and has a high multiplier

ashen needle
#

understandable

#

ryzen for life

deep skiff
#

o

sullen robin
#

oh okay that’s alright i

stoic island
#

ghost who else is good with audio gear?

sullen robin
#

is anyone else able to please

ashen needle
#

what monitors are you looking for grau

sullen robin
#

atleast is 144hz, 0.5ms and 1440p

ashen needle
#

just 1080x1920

sullen spoke
#

Boom arm, I’m still trying to get a blue compass, haha it’s been out of stock for several months

sullen robin
#

key word is at least

ashen needle
#

hm

stoic island
#

MSI Mag272cqr

#

the monitors I linked

#

400$ per

ashen needle
#

it's gonna take 2500$ to build a computer that can run triple 1440p monitors t b h

stoic island
#

and that's what we did lol

#

oh yea

#

I'll edit the list to be 2500$

#

brb

sand falcon
#

0.5ms is gonna be hard

sullen robin
#

i already ordered all the parts hadwee made for 2500$

sand falcon
#

Not really useful either

stoic island
#

I'd stick with 1ms

#

wait already?

sullen robin
#

that’s why i said at least 0.5ms

ashen needle
#

oh I see

sullen robin
#

yeah

stoic island
#

I mean there wasn't any issues with it

#

just price allocation could be improved

sullen spoke
#

Rode psa1 or maybe auray bai 2x could also be some nice boom arm. Some have an issue with sm7b mount tho

sullen robin
#

i went with it because he stuck with the color scheme with pretty much all the parts, thanks so much for putting in your suggestion too though mr1111

ashen needle
#

got confused on the wording grau mb

sullen robin
#

it’s okay

sullen spoke
#

There is a mount extender thing that shure has I think

stoic island
#

aight I do performance builds not aesthetic builds :P

ashen needle
#

throw a bunch of non-matching parts into a blender for peak performance gang

little osprey
#

do you guys know a good mid range headset

#

ping me if you know

stoic island
#

PC37x for mid-high

ashen needle
#

Hell yeah

#

I've only heard good things about that one

sullen spoke
#

Ya

stoic island
#

@little osprey what price do you say is "mid range"

ashen needle
#

Drop headsets are always nice

sullen robin
#

@little osprey i use turtle beach recon 200’s and i love hyphen

stoic island
#

pc37x is a very good headset at 120$

sullen robin
#

them*

sullen spoke
#

Some say bass on them is a bit high

sullen robin
#

@little osprey only 50$ too

little osprey
#

k

#

the price range is

#

max 75

ashen needle
#

oh

little osprey
#

like around their

sullen spoke
#

Oh ye Grau, if you looking for headphones too, maybe check out dt 770 or 990 pros, they pretty popular for audio work

sullen robin
#

turtle beach recon 200 is only 50$ and i love them, great sound quality, audio boosters

little osprey
#

they work for pc right

ashen needle
#

uhhh

sullen robin
#

yeah i use dt 990 pros silver in my studio

little osprey
#

turtle beach

ashen needle
sullen robin
#

sure do

sullen spoke
#

Ahh nice

little osprey
#

k

sullen robin
#

@little osprey

ashen needle
#

dunno if you have prime or not

little osprey
#

i do

sullen spoke
#

I’m thinking of getting a pair of 770 pros for recording and monitoring

little osprey
#

is there a good one for gaming

ashen needle
#

I'm running with a 7 dollar headset myself

#

:)

sullen robin
#

recon 200 is great for gaming

little osprey
#

k

#

i will check it out

sullen robin
#

i can hear someone reploading their gun

#

reloading*

ashen needle
#

I've never used turtle beach so I can't say anything about their headsets

vital warren
#

i have not used a turtle beach headset since like the xbox 360 days

little osprey
#

ok so i might use the turtle beach ones

#

if you know any other good ones just ping me

#

thank you guys just one more question, do you know a good 1440p (can go up to 4k) 144hz plus monitor 24inch+ under 550

stoic island
#

Mag272cqr

#

FI27q(-p)

little osprey
#

the reason my budget is low for the monitor is cause i am CAD

#

k

sullen robin
#

nvm i’ll just try and make my own list

stoic island

sudden turret
#

@warm cave what cpu and ram speed do you have?

warm cave
#

@sudden turret gimme a sec penne find it

#

Ram. : 3000hz, CPU 4.6ghz

#

Oh wait. Night be 2400hz

#

Might*

#

@sudden turret

fast dust
#

Did you set XMP in BIOS?

#

If not, It might be running anywhere from 2133-2666MHz

warm cave
#

I have not

fast dust
#

hop into bios and do that after you swap stick placement

sudden turret
#

hm yeah

#

what ryzen cpu .. if its first/second gen they crave high speed ram

warm cave
#

R5 3600

sudden turret
#

ah ok.. 3000 is ok.. but I'd recommend higher 🙂

#

3600mhz is the sweet spot.

#

but nothing wwrong with what ya got

warm cave
#

Ya i just switched from a ry5 1400

fast dust
#

But his kit is only 3000MHz

sudden turret
#

oh wow, big gains 🙂

warm cave
#

And over to a rtx 2060 super. Im still learning about building.

sudden turret
#

yeah enable xmp, or whatever your bios calls the ram oc and you should be good to go

#

default speeds will always be 2133mhz if you dont change it

#

typically.

warm cave
#

What does that do? Sorry for the ignorance

sudden turret
#

random access memory

warm cave
#

Ah ok

sudden turret
#

the faster the better

#

like taking a handful of yellowjackets, and chugging with a red bull

#

ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

warm cave
#

Good pick me up.

sudden turret
fast dust
#

nyooooooooooooooom

severe bloom
#

What kind of server you putting together there Forks?

sudden turret
#

forks has nice gpu

warm cave
#

@sudden turret so...when I boot my system up. It basically is a black screen and then windows login. It like..skipa the options for bios. Any idea why?

#

Just..black screen

fast dust
#

right when you boot up just spam the DEL button

sudden turret
#

that ^

fast dust
#

chances are youll get into bios anyways

warm cave
#

Ok word

spiral zealot
#

it probably has 'quick boot' enabled or something, which just streamlines the initial startup

unkempt ibex
#

What’s the pc case for good airflow but also not pricy

warm cave
#

So IRS actually 2400 hz

#

Its*

sudden turret
#

ah

#

so can we interest you in some nice shiny speedier ram from newegg?

little osprey
#

Box can I DM you for customer service

sudden turret
#

no.

warm cave
#

ID be down for that.

little osprey
#

Fatal said

sudden turret
#

Would you like bling, or no bling?

warm cave
#

Hmmm........

#

Bling is always appreciated

sudden turret
unkempt ibex
#

What’s the pc case for good airflow but also not pricy

sudden turret
#

how much not pricy

sullen spoke
#

That is not bling

unkempt ibex
#

Like under 80

sudden turret
#

don't link Royals ghost

#

-_-

sullen spoke
#

Bling is trident z royal

unkempt ibex
#

Box u know any?

sullen spoke
sudden turret
#

@unkempt ibex I'm lookin

#

mid tower?

#

m-atx*

#

open box special

#

nice mesh 3 fan front

unkempt ibex
#

Uh for atx motherboard

warm cave
#

@sudden turret. Ok...what should I be changing here?

sudden turret
#

with?

warm cave
#

Woops. Cant post pic

sudden turret
#

sec

unkempt ibex
#

Wait what do u mean box

sudden turret
#

Now try Sabotuer

#

assuming its a picture of your bios :p

warm cave
#

Yes

#

You must be a mind-reader :)

sudden turret
#

@unkempt ibex that case I linked will fit atx board.. just read over the specs in the link I sent

#

what do you seen when you open the Memory Frequency pull down tab

#

l;ooks like it's already set to the 2400mhz though.

warm cave
#

A list going all the way up to..3000hz

sudden turret
#

hmm

warm cave
#

Oh sorry

sudden turret
#

you can try a slight OC to it, but you probably won't notice much from it. have you already fixed the slot placement?

warm cave
#

6000hz

#

Yes

sudden turret
#

I'd say let it ride and see how it performs 🙂 if you like it then enjoy your build 🙂

#

then in the future you know what ram to look for

#

and can always come back here and bug @sullen spoke for answers.

warm cave
#

Ive been thinking about increasing. And some fans

sudden turret
#

right on, what keyboard mouse you have?

warm cave
#

Thanks for your time and help @sudden turret . greatly appreciated.

#

Woops

sullen spoke
sudden turret
#

haha bot got ya

#

I can see the message tho

warm cave
#

An old Razer mechanical keyboard and a g502 mouse.

sullen spoke
warm cave
#

Lol

sudden turret
#

I was just asking if ya had corsair I would recommend the corsair rgb ram

#

it's so.....

#

shiny @_@

warm cave
#

I like the idea.

sudden turret
#

and they make dummy sticks so you can fill in the blanks 🙂

#

and fake it like I do.

#

\o/

warm cave
#

I need a new keyboard because i accidentally....hulk smashed it at the end if a 30 roubd tekken losing streak..

sudden turret
#

yikes

warm cave
#

Thats nice.

sullen spoke
#

Haha faker

sudden turret
#

I would've gave up after the 3rd loss

warm cave
#

I had to beat him..

#

I did not

sudden turret
#

lol

warm cave
#

But ya. Im still learning a bunch...the PC was originally a prebuilt I bought 2nd hand. And Ive replaced everything but the mobo and the hhd

sudden turret
#

best way to learn honestly.

warm cave
#

Im getting a shiny new monitor tomorrow or else i would buy ram today.

sudden turret
#

buy prebuilt, slowly replace part by part.. before you know it your wife is yelling at you cause the closet is full of wires and boxes and parts everywhere.

warm cave
#

Yeah...im already over my "fun budget"

sudden turret
#

boy are you in the wrong discord.

#

lol

warm cave
#

Lmao

sudden turret
#

so many links to click.

#

and buy stuff you dont need .. but have to have.

warm cave
#

I love itb

sudden turret
warm cave
#

This monitor will be my first that isn't..some 2nd hand i got from a buddy that didn't have Cheetos crumbs in the bezels

#

Im concerned about being able to push 1440 though.

sudden turret
#

niceee, what monitor?

#

you said you have a 2060 right?

warm cave
#

Viotek <<

#

Ya. 2060 super

sudden turret
#

frame rate on monitor?

#

144?

warm cave
#

A Viotek dn32da

#
  1. 32" curved, 144p
#

1440p*

sudden turret
#

gpu should handle it just fine

#

might not see constant 144. but it'll be good

warm cave
#

I know ill lose frames due to the resolution increase, no?

sudden turret
#

should still handle it nicely.

#

enough for tekken 😄

#

gotta get those wins back

little osprey
#

Do y'all like galax

sudden turret
#

HOF models

warm cave
#

Good. That makes me nervous. Im excited to see if i can tell a difference between 1080 Abd 1440

sudden turret
#

uh

#

you will

#

and you won't go back to 1080

#

lol

warm cave
#

Thats what im hoping. Ive also never had a monitor bigger than 24"

#

So.

#

My girlfriend wont see me for a few days

lament hinge
#

I need help finding a preset list for AMD Hackintosh

#

Anyone??

sand falcon
#

I don't know if hackintosh will work on AMD

celest horizon
#

Deafkid has one

#

There's a subreddit for it

sand falcon
#

Yay

fast dust
#

@keen bobcat what power supply is in that build

tranquil dust
#

hi so sorry i have been super inactive lately but my friend was looking for a gaming pc that can run fortnite above 60 fps and is under $800

sand falcon
#

That's doable

tranquil dust
#

do you have a parts list i can give him? hes super excited

analog hound
#

2x16g or 4x8g is it better to have all four slots filled on the mobo ?

fast dust
#

4x8gb is faster technically

#

But it depends on the two kits, like if they have different CL or speed

edgy viper
#

why would 4x8 be faster?

analog hound
#

The 2x16g have lower timing 16-19-19-39

#

And the 4x8g is 18-22-22-42

viral ore
#

whats the speed tho

fast dust
#

why would 4x8 be faster?
Not sure. Saw it on YT video

edgy viper
#

4x8 would be faster if you had a quad channel cpu and mobo, otherwise it's exactly the same

viral ore
#

i think the less ranks of memory you have per channel, the better

#

so it just depends on the modules and the number of memory channels

edgy viper
#

at the same timings and speed of course

analog hound
#

2x16g is 16 and the 4x8g is 18

viral ore
#

the 2x16 has much better timings, but we dont know the speed yet

#

thats not the speed

#

thats the CAS

#

it should be like 3200, or 2666, or 3600

analog hound
#

Sorry 3600

viral ore
#

for both sets?

analog hound
#

Yes

viral ore
#

get the 2x16 ez

edgy viper
#

yeah

#

is the 2x16 ripjaws or trident z lol

analog hound
#

Going on x570 elite WiFi with 5 3600 cpu

#

2070 super

viral ore
#

why an x570 board?

analog hound
#

Already have it

edgy viper
#

^

#

ah okay makes sense

viral ore
#

a b550 is exactly the same, so dont rule those out yet

analog hound
#

And they are the ripjaws

edgy viper
#

sounded like gskill timings lol

analog hound
#

Yep

#

Lol

#

What about dual channel memory with 4 sticks

viral ore
#

that means you're adding more ranks to a single channel

#

which is not as good

analog hound
#

Wouldn’t that split the workload

sand falcon
#

Kinda, but not in the place where it matters

viral ore
#

if they clock the same, then its fine, but it makes it more difficult to clock them higher

analog hound
#

What do you mean by add more ranks to a single channel

viral ore
#

each memory channel is only so wide, each channel can handle one ranks worth of memory chips

#

the more dimms you add, the more ranks you add

#

the harder it is to clock all the memory higher

#

the only reason you put more than one rank on a memory channel is for the sake of capacity

#

as you add ranks, you trade away performance

#

the trace layout of the motherboard effects this as well

#

when you add multiple dimms on a single channel, the design of the trace layout can add unwanted signal problems and interference issues the higher the clock and the tighter the timings get

#

so you usually cant get clocks and timings as good as you could have with only one dimm on one channel

analog hound
#

What if I’m not overclocking the ram

viral ore
#

anything above 2133mhz is an overclock

analog hearth
#

@willow mulch I’m pinging you here because tech support actually isn’t allowed in #build-pics

dull gyro
#

I have a $1500 budget any suggestions

vital warren
#

im sure anyone here could piece together a good list for you i dont trust myself enough compared to some people here

digital finch
#

Me neither.

#

But a couple things I could ask you is will this be in USD or CAD?

#

Purpose of the build?

#

Does this include peripherals? Or is the $1500 solely for the PC build.

#

Also need to think about tax and shipping.

sand falcon
#

@dull gyro Do you need a monitor with that

next tangle
#

X570 or B550?

mortal rampart
#

X570

next tangle
#

alright thanks

#

@mortal rampart is 3600mhz worth the 13$ more than 3200MHz

mortal rampart
#

Nahhh

#

Up to you tho

#

I got 3200

next tangle
#

besides I can oc my ram to 3600 anyway right?

#

it's vengeance pro rgb

mortal rampart
#

Depending on clock speeds

next tangle
#

lemme check

mortal rampart
#

I don't have all the answers on ocing tho

#

**i meant channel

next tangle
#

oh

mortal rampart
#

Ask the ocing chat

next tangle
#

idk how to check that

#

alright ty

mortal rampart
#

They'll prolly know

#

Yw

next tangle
#

besides, I'm thinking to myself that I think all I'd really need is a 1300$ PC

#

I'm trynna be wise about it

#

I'd say like a 2K build is overkill for me

mortal rampart
#

Link to the build??

#

I wanna see

next tangle
#

putting it together rn

#

that's why I'm asking the question about the ram

mortal rampart
#

Just put it together rq and I'll give some recommendations

next tangle
#

okie

#

damn i can't really do it

#

@mortal rampart could you try and make one for me? I want rgb : P

#

the nzxt streaming pc for $1500 looks great, is it actually good?

buoyant flame
#

Which one?

arctic jungle
#

@candid saffron which one

buoyant flame
#

Nvm I found it

arctic jungle
#

lemme see

#

OH

#

yeah no I have a friend who streams, and he bought it without consulting me 😡 even tho im the techy

buoyant flame
#

Could probably get a 2080 super for that price if you built it yourself

arctic jungle
#

it's not rlly worth

#

tbh

#

j build one urself

buoyant flame
#

Its good for a nzxt prebuilt ngl but you can get better if you are willing to build one yourself

arctic jungle
#

true

candid saffron
#

Ok

arctic jungle
#

and you could make a nicer one urself

#

but for a prebuilt, it's ok

candid saffron
#

is it very hard to build one myself, ive never before

arctic jungle
#

its not hard

#

trust me

prisma sleet
#

Is this a good place to post a part list asking for review?

candid saffron
#

Ok it looks really hard but people say its not

arctic jungle
#

don't automatically assome thet

#

yes @prisma sleet

#

i can help out

#

@candid saffron it's not hard- just do some research

#

actually

#

ur gonna have to dm me the list

#

or have a mod fetch the link

#

bc rookies can't post links

#

@prisma sleet

prisma sleet
#

@candid saffron there are endless resources online to help you figure it out! Im about to build my first

#

Oh cool

#

Youre alright with me dming you antago?

#

mhm

A lil over budget as well but some things you could tinker with to get under $1500

Can you give prices?

little osprey
#

yea

#

give me a sec

#

these are all in CAD btw

sand falcon
#

That's fine. SSD is overpriced, dual ssd is silly, and mobo is likely overpriced

little osprey
#

i want a nvme

#

but 1tb is not enough

sand falcon
#

Get nvme + HDD

little osprey
#

ok got it

#

so the ryzen 7 is 419.99 i also get assassin's creed valhalla

sand falcon
#

Do you need wifi?

little osprey
#

yea

sand falcon
#

f

little osprey
#

ik

#

but my internet router which i use upstairs

#

doesn't have good wired but has good wireless

#

around 500 mbps

#

i can switch thou if needed

#

the gpu is 599.99

sand falcon
#

500 is nice

little osprey
#

in canada everything is overpriced

#

so 599.99 is pretty good

#

but if i do find a 500

#

i will take that

#

mobo 539.99

sand falcon
#

That's waaaayyyy expensive

#

Probably used from a third party?

little osprey
#

do you know a good x570

#

psu is 170

sand falcon
#

I'm looking

#

Thinking maybe a b550

little osprey
#

i have the budget to get a x570

#

but if you find a good deal, i will go b550

sand falcon
#

Found one for 190

#

What is the overall budget?

little osprey
#

USD right

#

under 3k CAD

sand falcon
#

That's CAD

little osprey
#

oh really

#

ok then yea i can get it

#

nvme is 340 but on sale rn for 300 and ssd is 200

#

but i will switch the ssd for a hdd

sand falcon
#

That case is currently listed as unavailable

little osprey
#

on newegg

#

yea but i found it on amazon for 97

#

and newegg it is 88 but out of stock

sand falcon
#

Okay

#

Can you give a link so I can stick it in?

little osprey
#

yea

vital warren
#

those samsung ssds hella expensive wtf

sand falcon
#

How many fans are you sticking in?

little osprey
#

3

stoic island
little osprey
#

i have 2 from the case

stoic island
#

none of these are 300cad...

sand falcon
#

Um

#

These fans a 60 bucks a pop?

little osprey
#

no

#

they are 30

sand falcon
#

Oh, are you using the 120mm?

little osprey
#

yea

sand falcon
#

Okay

#

PWM or no?

little osprey
#

yea

#

they are pwn

sand falcon
#

You might be able to get a way with less fans

little osprey
#

really

#

the case has 5 fan slots

#

2 filled already

#

and i am gonna get 3

#

i will try with 2

#

and if i need it get a thrid

you deserve the vip role

sand falcon

thanks

little osprey

have a great day

@mortal rampart it's alright! thanks for helping out 😄

#

@mortal rampart if I were to up it to a 1700$ budget, what would you upgrade in that list?

feral galleon
#

Can someone point me in the right direction... i have a msi z390 godlike motherboard with i9 9900k rtx 2060s. The first week of having it i had to do a RMA and they refused to tell me what they had to fix/do, that said it was not showing temps on the cpu socket pcie1, mos. And voltage was 24v on the 12v,10v on the 5v. Now a few months later temps not showing up on m.2 1-3, pcie1-5 and mystic lights are not working at all just the ram default lights are working. This has been the worst pc i have ever built. I have reformatted numerous times and even bought a new wd-black sn750 1tb to go with my 500gb plus t-force night hawk 2 16gb kits.

little leaf
#

A 9900k and 2060s.....

#

Oof

next tangle
#

why oof? @little leaf

cursive wharf
#

9900k is only useful for gaming more or less, but was paired with a meh gaming GPU. Could've gotten a better gaming thing with 3600 + 2080S

#

even 3700x+2080S is probs close to same budget

#

10600k+2080S for pure gaming and maybe same budget

next tangle
#

true true but you never know why he went with the 9900K, he could've needed it for something specific or he just wants to be super futureproofed and in the 2060S is just a placeholder for him

stoic island
#

it's confusing what the issue is

next tangle
#

^^

little osprey
#

i wouldnt recommend spending more than 1.5K atm, 10600K and 2080s for 1.5K sounsd nice

soft bison
#

What causes screen tearing?

#

Nvm going to general

fleet pagoda
#

How much should be spent on a gaming pc so i can run 240fps and stream

soft bison
#

Well it depends what game

#

Because streaming Fortnite with 240fps is different then streaming like metro exodus

#

But you’d probably want a 2080s and a solid and processor like the ryzen 9 3900x

#

So probably around 2000 i haven’t checked prices in a while though

stoic island
#

Well

#

depends still

#

3900x is completely unnecessary for just streaming

#

3700x works

soft bison
#

True

#

But I feel like 3900x pairs well with 2080s

#

Idk tho

stoic island
#

I've been told it's hard to maintain 144fps in MW while streaming with a 2070s

#

I don't xD

#

so MW might be really hard to go 240fps while streaming

soft bison
#

Ya so it’s hard to just say “240 FPS and stream”

fleet pagoda
#

I play fortnite hyperscape some warzone so those games

stoic island
#

fortnite easy to run

#

hypserscape not sure

#

warzone hard

soft bison
#

Ya I think 2080 or 2080s is the best choice cuz it could handle any of those games you’d stream

stoic island
#

No monitor or periph

#

@fleet pagoda you got a 240hz monitor or smth?

fleet pagoda
#

I have a 144hz im gonna upgrade soon

#

My pc is kinda ass lol

stoic island
#

because new monitor or mouse or keyboard or headset is extra expense not included in the list

fleet pagoda
#

Yeah ik idk how people can afford like 3 monitors and a good pc

stoic island
#

it's called 5000$ budget :P

little osprey
#

they get lower end monitors

fleet pagoda
#

😮

stoic island
#

Good 1080p 144hz monitor is just ~180$

spiral zealot
#

cheap Fry's monitors ftw

fleet pagoda
#

Mine was 200 i think

spiral zealot
#

rocking dual upstar 24" displays

stoic island
#

I just have my 24in 144hz monitor

#

all I need rn

spiral zealot
#

but they were like $80 each on sale a couple of years ago

#

and they work

#

so w/e

stoic island
#

decent 60hz 1080p displays are like 80$ per anyways

fleet pagoda
#

Why would i get bad fps drops like sometimes my fps will drop to like 2

stoic island
#

dunno

#

bad hardware

fleet pagoda
#

little osprey

ok guys so, earlier today i wanted to enable XMP so i went into bios, then when i enabled it it kept on saying this pc has ran into a error. and so i reset cmos and i forgot all my settings. turns out that it was my mobo that couldn’t handle that many mhz. so then later on i found out that my hard drive was never working in the first place so i go into bios to see the problem and i couldn’t find it out. so now either my hard drive or my sata cable doesn’t work. then a go back and play valorant. then my pc says “this device has ran in to a error” and i reset it and then it happened again and i reset it and again. so then i turned off my pc. and also im having weird frame spikes and stuff this pc has so many problems and i don’t know how to fix them.

uhh try formatting your hdd if you can't detect it in this pc

Well, I put in my order for my monitor. It's on backorder, but I figured I might as well get in line. Otherwise who knows when the next time it'll be openly available. I get my new mechanical keyboard tomorrow, provided the delivery doesn't get stuck in one spot for days. Piece by piece, I'm assembling my peripherals in anticipation of my new PC build.

next tangle
#

@mortal rampart changed it up, 1650$ budget

mortal rampart
#

You know the price of the 2700x isn't included right? @next tangle

#

Or yoh gonna use the one you have rn?

next tangle
#

yup lol

mortal rampart
#

Makes sense

#

And why so many fans?

#

And why do you need 32gb of ram?

next tangle
#

heavy rendering here and there

#

also for aesthetics

#

and fans are to fill all the fan slots in the case

mortal rampart
#

You don't even have that many slots lul

sand falcon
#

Pardon?

#

It's four slots

mortal rampart
#

He already has three in the front

#

He's using a three slot radiator

#

So he only has one in the back

sand falcon
#

Oh fans

mortal rampart
#

Ya

sand falcon
#

I thought you meant ram

mortal rampart
#

Didn't mean like dim slots Lmao

sand falcon
#

Sorry, slot and fan don't mesh for me for some reason

#

Pun not intended

mortal rampart
#

Ya imma say dim slots for ram

#

Lmao Chef_Kiss

sand falcon
#

dimm

#

One slot short if they're gonna use the supplied aio fans

next tangle
#

yeah

#

yeah, I won't be using the included AIO fans

mortal rampart

Why lmao

#

What’s the cheapest gaming and streaming pc y’all can build? Mainly streaming rocket league... maybe some modern warfare.

stoic island

Modern warfare is hard to run

Anyways using all new parts 800$ is usually a good starting budget

used tho :))

prob around 400?

sand falcon

Given that it's not allowed an that it would set me back a few hundred bucks, I'ma gonna go with no

#

I can give tips on where to find cheap parts though

keen moss
#

don’t have much money to spend, is this decent? any big bottlenecks i should know about?

#

tell me if the link doesn’t work

severe bloom
#

well no need for a aio cooler for that cpu, so why not use that money to get a way better ryzen?

spiral zealot
#

i would drop the AIO and put that money into a better CPU/GPU combo

keen moss
#

yeah that’s what i thought

spiral zealot
#

you can always pick up a couple of RGB case fans later if you want a similar aesthetic

keen moss
#

i didn’t really know if i needed the aio since the cpu comes with a stock cooler i’d be fine with using

spiral zealot
#

and unless you have an SSD already, i'd look at adding one for a boot drive

severe bloom
#

yeah the amd stock cooler is perfectly fine and has rgb

spiral zealot
#

booting off an HDD is painful

#

depends on the ryzen you buy, not all the coolers have the rgb ring

#

my stock cooler on my 2600 doesn't

keen moss
#

and unless you have an SSD already, i'd look at adding one for a boot drive
@spiral zealot yeah, they’re pretty expensive, which is why i decided not to. will look into that

spiral zealot
#

you can get a $30-$40 ssd to boot from

severe bloom
#

the 2700x and 3700x we upgraded my wife to had it so assumed they all did

keen moss
#

i don’t really care about the rgb, still my first build and i will probably upgrade it as i go along

severe bloom
#

started and upgraded to

spiral zealot
#

staying around $900 budget?

keen moss
#

yeah about

#

how much storage did the ssds you saw have? just curious

spiral zealot
#

256gb

#

with dram cache

keen moss
#

ok yeah that will definitely work for a boot drive

#

and any good budget gpus i could look at? preferably under $150

severe bloom
#

changed the cpu added a m2 and got rid of the aio

keen moss
#

wow thanks haha

#

wait link doesn’t work

severe bloom
#

copied the wrong one my bad

keen moss
#

nah all good

severe bloom
#

and it didn't remove the 2tb drive but it should of

sand falcon
#

I wouldn't say 129 for a 3100 is in stock

#

You could do a lot better

severe bloom
#

Yeah finding things in stock is the hard part right now

#

Or in stock and not marked up

keen moss
#

amazon has had all the parts i’ve needed so far

#

haven’t looked at all of them

oak galleon
#

Could someone help me with a problem that I recently started getting with my cpu please?

severe bloom
#

make sure its amazon selling it a lot of the 3rd party sellers are making things up a LOT

keen moss
#

yeah

sand falcon
#

Is wifi needed?

severe bloom
#

@oak galleon whats going on with your CPU?

keen moss
#

Is wifi needed?
@sand falcon yeah but i could just buy a wifi stick

sand falcon
#

Wifi is expensive rn

oak galleon
#

The temps have recently started going really high, like on idle usage the temps have went up to 60

keen moss
#

reapply thermal paste?

sand falcon
#

Hey, there's a ds3h wifi 🙂

severe bloom
#

Have you done the following:

  1. Checked fans to make sure they aren't clogged with dog fur or dust?
  2. Are the inputs to the PC blocked or clogged?
  3. Have the ambients in the room changed to make the pc hot? Being in a room thats 80f will make the pc hotter
oak galleon
#

I have an ac in my room that’s always on so my room is cold and I have an aio cooler

severe bloom
#

Also have you checked to make sure the fans are all spinning at the same speeds they were before, no fan curves changed?

#

What AIO are you using? If you turn the pump up to max does it help? Can you hear the pump making noises?

keen moss
#

Hey, there's a ds3h wifi 🙂
@sand falcon i already bought some of the parts like the case, mobo, psu because i didn’t really know what i was doing

sand falcon
#

oh

oak galleon
#

It’s an nzxt kraken aio and how do you turn the pump up?

sand falcon
#

so what parts do you still need?

severe bloom
#

Do you have the nzxt CAM software installed?

keen moss
#

i can always upgrade them later though, right now it’s just getting a post

oak galleon
#

Yeah

sand falcon
#

So CPU, GPU, and ram?

keen moss
#

so what parts do you still need?
@sand falcon GPU, CPU, SSD boot drive, ram

#

yeah

severe bloom
#

Should be on the cooling tab where you can change the pump and fan speeds

keen moss
#

and maybe a couple of fans but idk

oak galleon
#

How do I know which fan it is because it shows all of my fans

#

I mean, I have all of my fans set to performance which is the highest setting I think

#

🤔

sand falcon
keen moss
#

are all of them spinning on the aio? could be a problem

severe bloom
#

Yeah without making a custom setting it is the highest one in there. Its been a long while since I used it but should say cpu for the fans plugged into the cooler

#

Have you checked to see if the radiator is all full of dust? If they get clogged will kill airflow and things will get hot

keen moss
oak galleon
#

Oh it might be the radiator being clogged😮😮

#

Do I just take the fans off to see if it’s clogged?

severe bloom
#

Yeah don't do it with the pc on though as the cpu temp will jump fast

spiral zealot
#

i took a apart a friends old system and their AIO had a straight up single piece of dust that had turned itself into a carpet

#

between the rad and fan

#

it was like dryer lint

keen moss
#

yeah that could be it

oak galleon
#

😬😬😬

#

Ok I’ll check that tomorrow morning and hopefully that’s the problem thanks guys

keen moss
#

yup

severe bloom
#

no problem if it is a quick blast from canned air will clean it out and should be good as new

keen moss
#

lol acting like i did something

oak galleon
#

😂

keen moss
#

looking at all of these parts really tells you how overpriced PC parts are

#

they’re expensive mainly because they’re “brand new”

Is a ryzen 3600 good with a EVGA gtx 1650 super?

If ur video editing

If not go 3100or 3300x and 5600xt

should i go for an intel 10600k or a ryzen 7 3700x paired with a 2070super?

mossy citrus
#

well what r u using it for

#

@candid saffron

candid saffron
#

for mostly gaming, a bit of graphic design, some editing, and maybe streaming

mossy citrus
#

3700x

candid saffron
#

more so focused on the games

#

is the performance gap huge for those two chips in gaming?

mossy citrus
#

no not really

#

but if ur doing streaming, editing, or graphic design, ryzen 3rd gen is best

candid saffron
#

is it a huge difference in the creative work world?

little osprey
#

yes

buoyant flame
#

Yes, 10600k only has 6 cores

#

3700x should vastly outperform it in everything besides gaming lol

candid saffron
#

and will the intel vastly outperform it in gaming? or is it close

buoyant flame
#

Its very close

mossy citrus
#

but even in gaming the 3700x is still really good

buoyant flame
#

You probably wouldn't even notice it tbh

candid saffron
#

Ok

#

ill save 100 dollars

#

going ryzen

#

and i can put that to faster ram

buoyant flame
#

Look for 3600mhz ram

#

Cl16 ideally

candid saffron
#

yep. ripjaws

buoyant flame
#

Pairs very nicely with 3rd gen

arctic jungle
#

oo @buoyant flame I saw a gr8 deal for that

buoyant flame
#

Ripjaws?

Cl18 tho :\

#

yea

He will use the motherboard box as case xddd

buoyant flame
#

3200g?

mossy citrus
#

3200mhz

buoyant flame
#

Or 3200mhz

arctic jungle
#

^

buoyant flame
#

Oh

#

3600mhz imo

arctic jungle
#

3600 mhz isn't worth the extra 30$

mossy citrus
#

im trying to budget on it

arctic jungle
#

don't rlly need cl16 either

buoyant flame
#

3600mhz cl18 > 3200mhz cl16
(For third gen)

arctic jungle
#

for a budget build

#

yea but 30$ could b for a 1660 instead

#

sry 1650s

buoyant flame
#

Wouldn't be enough

#

Oh

little osprey
#

In ram higher or lower cache latency better

buoyant flame
#

Lower

arctic jungle
#

lower

mossy citrus
#

1650s is good value

buoyant flame
#

Ya

mossy citrus
#

im probably gonna do encoding and transcoding

#

and 1650 gddr6 is actually worse

little osprey
#

So what if i choose the lowest possible cl then find the biggest frequency one among the lowest cl ones?

mossy citrus
#

yes

little osprey
#

1650 gddr6 is 128 bit

wary geode
#

@jovial bough

#

hey ill help what do you mean

buoyant flame
#

Anything lower than cl16 is gonna be very expensive

wary geode
#

i dont see any light on there is it posting?

little osprey
#

Go for 192 bit cards atleast

buoyant flame
#

And not rly necessary

little osprey
#

1660 ti 6 GB gddr6 192 bit

#

Or rx 5700 xt 256 bit gddr6 8gb

buoyant flame
#

Doesn't rly fit in the "budget" category anymore then lol

#

Obviously those cards perform better but they cost more

little osprey
#

Yes if u go with 8 core threadripper 3.8ghz

buoyant flame
#

1650 has a good price to performace ratio

arctic jungle
#

uh

#

@little osprey budget build

#

as in

little osprey
#

8 core threadripper 3.8 ghz is not that expensive

mossy citrus
#

2060 ko

buoyant flame
#

Motherboard for it is tho

#

And its kinda old

arctic jungle
#

ye

buoyant flame
#

3600 or 2700x better value

#

And way cheaper mobo

#

I bent the graphics port shield on my Radeon RX 550 4GB to make it fit in my case before realizing the case was adjustable. Do you have any suggestions as to how to obtain a port shield and/or use something comparable to mount it?

#

I already contacted the manufacturer and they cannot assist

#

Buy a thicker sheet of metal and stamp a replica??

#

Will pay if someone has a A003 port shield laying around 💯

arctic jungle
#

@dark eagle might be cheaper just to get a new card for 200-250

fast dust
#

200-250? RX 550 is nowhere near that much

stoic island
#

Grab a newer card like the 1650 super for like 160$

#

If you bent any of the ports I don't think it's easy to fix it

arctic jungle
#

exactly

#

cheaper than having a new plate stamped

junior current
#

I took the plate off

#

No damage done to card...just need new way to mount it

#

It was $100 btw

#

I'm @dark eagle just logged into my account

arctic jungle
#

exactlyyyyy

#

get a new cards bc having a new plate stamped would be more expensive

junior current
#

What if I buy a small sheet of metal, a diamond hole punch, and do it myself?

arctic jungle
#

bc a diamond hole punch tooootally is cheaper than a 2080s

#

actually

#

it kinda is

junior current
#

They're $20

#

And its a pc i plan to flip so im not tryna beef it out tooo much

arctic jungle
#

ko

junior current
#

Threw in a 600W, 4gb gpu, 16gb ram, and full send on the marketplace

arctic jungle

doubt u could dyi it tho

junior current

Not with that attitude!

fast dust

My case doesn't have an hdd sled, so I've been working on making one

junior current
#

My new psu didn't fit so I had to drill new screw holes >,< this has been quite the first pc experience

analog hearth
#

what case and what PSU?

junior current
#

It's a HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT PC

#

And I put in a Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX 12 V2.3 PSU

Listennnnn I'm just tryna flip itttt

fast dust
#

Don’t get cheap power supplies

#

Even for a flip

#

If it fails, who are they gonna call?

junior current
#

Ghostbusters

#

And if it sparks and burns something in their house, you have a possible lawsuit on your hands...
It’s unlikely and worst case scenario, but possible

junior current
#

Noted tho fr

#

But I already bought it

#

So either i use it or sell it

fast dust
#

Tsk tsk

junior current
#

But on that note

#

What do u suggest?

fast dust
#

Well I flip PCs too, and I’ve kinda made a little guise

#

Do you know about the power supply tier list? @junior current

stoic island
#

is cheap
it works

junior current
#

It's my first flip, I bent the port shield I dont know tooooo much

#

Ngl

#

Lol

#

Noobie coming in hot

#

In the pins of this channel, there’s a tier list that shows power supplies and their tiers

#

Oh and it’s posted above :P

stoic island
#

B and above is good

#

gray ones have slight issues

#

I don't flip PCs but by pricing BR is usually really cheap and still decent

junior current
#

Ok so according to that, my psu is good for mid range systems, which is what I'm attempting to build...so it should be ok

stoic island
#

I mean

fast dust
#

So here’s what I’ve put together in my head for flips:
If the build is $250 or less, tier D is acceptable. Tier C is preferred.
If it’s $260-350 tier C is acceptable and B is preferred. Anything above $400 should be tier B. B+ is for anything over $600, and tier A is for anything over $1k.
And these prices are just for the parts, not how much you’re selling for

#

That’s my two cents

stoic island
#

I think you have the TR2 80+ white

#

That's the cheapest one in tier D

fast dust
#

Never get a tier E

stoic island
#

ye

#

tier e = death to the system

fast dust
#

Mega death

stoic island
#

I personally wouldn't go below B for anything

fast dust
#

Cheapest power supply I’ve used is EVGA W1. I’m not going any lower than that

stoic island
#

ofc if you're going for a 200$ build used PSU and tier D would be fine

#

add a dGPU into the mix then I'm not going below tier B

junior current
#

I bookmarked that page that's very helpful

fast dust
#

PSU prices have gone down... or they’re going down slowly it looks like. That’s super exciting

stoic island
#

yea ikr

#

can't wait for 50$ cx lol

fast dust
#

A 500w EVGA BR for $50 yessssss

junior current
#

Ok well I guess arguably this build is a cheap build lol. It was free and im just trying to make at most $100 profit lol.

junior current
#

But you guys are sketching me out and im afraid imma burn down someones house lol wtfff

fast dust
#

Lol it’s unlikely, but... possible :P

little osprey
#

if you get a low end psu

#

then ur build is gone

#

so be careful

#

go for cheap but not too cheap

fast dust
#

I think your PSU will be fine since it’s not the worst @junior current. Just maybe get a little better next time

junior current
#

I will! Thanks for everyones input!

fast dust
#

For sure. Come back if you need any more help :)

keen moss
#

i want to recolor the white parts on the case to a light blue

#

and i probably could’ve gone for a higher end cpu but i don’t really care

#

What's a good but reasonable price cpu cooler for intel?

#

And good motherboard for Intel

#

Say around 400 in total for both the cpu cooler and motherboard

little osprey
#

did you buy the intel cpu yet

#

or are you thinking about it

dense reef
#

I already have it, I have the Omen obilesk pre built and it is a loud

#

So I wanted and upgrade for the cpu cooler and motherboard

#

@little osprey ^

little osprey
#
