#

Ha lol so

fast dust
#

Oh wow

wary geode
#

That is a motherboard or psu issue

earnest delta
#

If the computer boots, than I can do anything.

wary geode
#

What waggate and what parts

#

Wattage

fast dust
#

Didn’t you like replace the case?

wary geode
#

Nah motherboard pins were Garbo

#

And before that psu because it caused a surge

fast dust
#

It was a mobo problem oh

wary geode
#

Tell me wattage and motherboard

fast dust
#

But still could be power supply. What’s the make and model of the power supply and what’s the model of motherboard

wary geode
#

Lol thought that issue might fix it

#

Yeah cause what happen to that computer was the power supply caused a surge destroying both

#

Do what yams tells ya

fast dust
#

That’s a lot of pressure

wary geode
#

Yeaaaa

fast dust
#

@ me when you have the PSU and Mobo pls thanks

earnest delta
#

@fast dust X570 Aorus Elite motherboard and Corsair HX850 power supply.

fast dust
#

Oh wow. Beefy specs there

#

Okay hmm

#

Uh

#

Honestly, never encountered this problem so

#

@wary geode

#

My assumption is it’s a motherboard problem. I doubt a PSU as good a San HX would cause that

wary geode
#

Do me a favor send a vid

#

Check the fan on the psu

#

It happened to a Evga before

#

@earnest delta

#

Video please

earnest delta
#

I am unable to do that at the moment. Thank you for the help though.

wary geode
#

It’s fine I would say to replace both

#

@earnest delta that’s what I did everything worked fine after that

#

You have warranty for long time so ur fine

earnest delta
#

I can mention though that the booting can happen 2 ways. Either fans only enable computer failing to boot, or the fans are quiet and the computer cycles twice and then boots.

#

The new parts in the computer as of the recent build are the processor, motherboard, and memory.

fast dust
#

Then it’s probably motherboard issue

#

I guess could be memory though

#

But I doubt it

earnest delta
#

Hmmm... today it booted first try...

#

*booted

#

Yeah, I would've brought my computer to a repair store already, had this not been a pandemic.

Yep

#

I wish they would be spin a little faster, IDC about noise

#

Like my internal fans sound like an airplane anyway

little osprey
#

i'm thinking of replacing my gpu fans with noctuas when i get it for consistancy

next tangle
#

could i have some help

stoic island
#

Don't ask to ask

#

@potent prairie I wonder if they made any IPC 60mm/80mm fans

buoyant flame
#

Your new toys for a personal rig or a flip? @wary geode

wary geode
#

Custom build!

buoyant flame
#

Nice

wary geode
#

He paid now he’s waiting for it imma stream building it soon!

buoyant flame
#

Pog

#

Lmk when you stream it

wary geode
#

Ok sweet

potent prairie
#

@potent prairie I wonder if they made any IPC 60mm/80mm fans
@stoic island these are 92mm

#

I think they make 80mm too

stoic island
#

huh

potent prairie
#

I chose em b/c low profile

hollow bridge
#

You only need 6 things for a pc right? The GPU,CPU,SSD,Power Supply, Motherboard, and Case. Anything I’m missing

vital warren
#

memory(RAM)

hollow bridge
#

Ok

little osprey
#

CPU cooler but some cpus come with one

#

Hard drive is optional if you want to download lots of games or files

still roostBOT
#
Jaicke#0795 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

hollow bridge
#

I forgot to buy a power supply

#

I’m sad

little osprey
#

Lmao

hollow bridge
#

dammmmmit

#

And all the stores are closed

buoyant flame
#

What spread method did you use? @viral ore

viral ore
#

Pea in the middle

little leaf
#

@viral ore so I built a pc with a 1600af b450 prime a csm abd a 970

#

The build disnt post so I switched the 970 witha 1060

#

It posted

#

So the. i got a 1650s and put it in and it wont post

#

So im very confused

viral ore
#

Wack

little leaf
#

Ik

#

I cleared cmos

viral ore
#

Boot it without a gpu, see what happens

little leaf
#

I mean I could try but there is not igpu

viral ore
#

That's fine

#

Just try it anyway

little leaf
#

K

#

What am I looking for?

viral ore
#

See if the symptoms of the system differ than those with a gpu that works and a gpu that doesn't

hollow bridge
#

Is 650 watt 80+ bronze ATX semi modular is good?

buoyant flame
#

Thats a nice spread for a pea

little leaf
#

@viral ore nope

little osprey
#

That’s not nice

#

That’s perfect

buoyant flame
#

How long was the Waterblock on for

viral ore
#

About half a year

little osprey
#

Looks like it hasn’t been on for long tbh

buoyant flame
#

Hmm

viral ore
#

My second cpu spread is good too, but not as good as the one in the pic

#

There's a bit of the corner that isn't covered lol

buoyant flame
#

I should of taken a picture of mine since I just took it off

#

It was Chef_Kiss

viral ore
#

Nice

buoyant flame
#

But I used a spreader so I kinda cheated lol

viral ore
#

Haha lmao

buoyant flame
#

If GN does it so can I

#

I'm not ashamed lol

little leaf
#

@viral ore wat do I do

viral ore
#

My new CPU coolers have preapplied paste

#

So I don't gotta think about it

buoyant flame
#

Nice

viral ore
#

How did the system respond with no GPU?

little leaf
#

The same

viral ore
#

Did it beep? Did fans spin?

#

Lights?

little leaf
#

Yes

#

Lights

#

Gans

#

Fans

viral ore
#

Same as bad GPU?

little leaf
#

Yes

buoyant flame
#

Did you test the gpu in another system before hand?

viral ore
#

Idk, try leaving the 1060 in there for now

little leaf
#

No but its new ill check in a sec

#

The 1060 was a friends I borrowed

#

So I dont got it

buoyant flame
#

Weird

#

You try both dp and hdmi?

little leaf
#

I tried dvid

#

And hdmi

buoyant flame
#

Oof

#

idk tbh

little leaf
#

Ahhhhg

#

Wtf

#

@sullen spoke

#

Help?

sullen spoke
#

AHHHHHH

#

what is el problemo

little leaf
#

Up

sullen spoke
#

maybe a power issue?

buoyant flame
#

Thats what I thought but a 1650 uses less power than a 1060 iirc

little leaf
#

Fan on gpu turns on too

sullen spoke
#

hmm

little leaf
#

On all three cards

#

@neon condor

neon condor
#

Supposedly Q4 this year

fast dust
#

Is 650 watt 80+ bronze ATX semi modular is good?
@hollow bridge some are. Some aren’t. What’s the make and model of the PSU in question?

hollow bridge
#

@fast dust PowerSpec

fast dust
#

Brand gives me no information @hollow bridge. Brands make some good, some bad power supplies

hollow bridge
#

Corsair is too expensive for me

fast dust
#

What is the model

hollow bridge
#

Uh

#

Lemme see

#

Model?

jolly tusk
#

CPU just came in today, Motherboard should arrive tomorrow. Case, keyboard, and memory should all hopefully arrive by the 31st or August 3rd. Which just leaves buying my graphics card, power supply , monitor and SSD.

hollow bridge
#

like modular?

jolly tusk
#

If I owe we a pc before hand I probably could have saved on a keyboard and monitor

hollow bridge
#

lemme just send the product

#

I need help with a budget build. My budget is $2.600. I would like RGB and a excellent mid tower case with good airflow.

hollow bridge
#

"budget" :c

fast dust
#

@hollow bridge looks decent. What CPU+GPU are you running

hollow bridge
#

uh

#

this cpu

#

this gpu

fast dust
#

It’ll work. Not the best option but it’ll work

hollow bridge
#

whats a better option

#

corsair?

fast dust
#

I would have gotten a Corsair CX450 instead. It’s around the same price

hollow bridge
#

ye

#

its not in stock :c

fast dust
#

Ah dang

fast dust
#

Cooler Master MWE?

hollow bridge
#

is this good?

#

its at best buy

#

they also would price match so idk

fast dust
#

CXM is pretty good. But it’s got coil whine issues

hollow bridge
#

i dont know what that means

fast dust
#

Meaning lost of times it will make a high-pitched squealing noise

hollow bridge
#

damn

#

im trying to get a quiet pc

fast dust
#

The normal CX series doesn’t have that problem, just the CXM ones

hollow bridge
#

ok

fast dust
#

Check the pins of this channel, you’ll find a PSU tier list. Shoot for tier B+

#

If you can’t do tier B+, tier B will work

#

But try your best to get tier B+

#

@hollow bridge

#

@wide musk you’re going quite a bit over $600 there

wide musk
#

yea 600 is a good to be at spot little wiggle room what would you change?

fast dust
#

You don’t need 700w

#

450 will work

wide musk
#

yah

#

i cant find any other psu with a cheaper price with bronze rating ill look again

#

hay found one 5 usd cheaper with bronze

hollow bridge
#

@fast dust ok

fast dust
#

@wide musk bronze doesn’t mean it’s good

wide musk
#

true than what does?

fast dust
#

Uh... quality?

#

Ripple, regulation, soldering, all kinds of stuff. You gotta look at detailed reviews. Not customer reviews, but reviews by experts

wide musk
#

oik

hollow bridge
#

I tried 😦

#

couldn’t find any

#

At micro center

little osprey
#

anyone know how to make my games for now and on install on my hard drive instead of my ssd?

lament spear
#

Anyone have a recommendation of a AM3+ socket with M.2 motherboard?

tepid basalt
#

anyone know how to make my games for now and on install on my hard drive instead of my ssd?
@little osprey you can find the setting in downloads in steam

little osprey
#

Is the i9 9900k good with an 2070 super, is that not a good match? Or will it cause bottleneck?

edgy viper
#

do you have the 9900k already?

errant berry
#

small amount of it

edgy viper
#

also depends on the resolution

#

like at 4k no

red sigil
#

are two noctua NF-P12 1700 PWM good enough to cool a h510i when i replace the stock fans with them and have no front fans?

little leaf
#

Ok help

#

Again

#

@neon condor @sullen spoke 1650s 970 and 1060 no longer work on the pc

#

Org build 1600af b450a prime csm gskill ram crucial p2 cxm 450 970 then that didnt work so I threw in a 1060 that worked so I got a 1650s and put it in didnt work so I put in the 1060 again and no post yet again

cursive wharf
#

@little leaf clean PCIe slot?

little leaf
#

How can I clean it?

cursive wharf
#

idk on that one. Maybe some air?

little leaf
#

Idk if its dirty but best though

spiral zealot
#

get an old nes cleaning kit, they're designed for cleaning the connector inside the nes

#

which is basically a card slot

#

they're just cards covered with some kind of felt

#

and you usually get a little bottle of contact cleaner with it

#

actually, easier way might be to use some 99% isopropyl and a qtip to clean one of the video card pci connectors, and then put just a couple of drops inside the pci slot, and then insert/remove the card a few times, hit it with some compressed air, and should be good to go

#

assuming that's the problem

little osprey
#

@autumn wolf and @mossy citrus

mossy citrus
#

@little osprey it isnt bad for streaming it just has worse value

little osprey
#

ye im not lookin for the highest definition in streaming

autumn wolf
#

also an nvidia gpu has their nvenc encoder which helps out with recording/streaming

#

which is why its better to choose an nvidia gpu over amd

mossy citrus
#

Intel is still on 14nm++++ to the 69th power

little osprey
#

wait so if i get amd cpu, i cant get the rx 5700?

mossy citrus
#

You shouldnt

#

We dont recommend it

autumn wolf
#

you can get an amd cpu and amd card, but i wouldnt recommend getting an amd card

little osprey
#

ye amd leading intel lol

autumn wolf
#

amd cpu and nvidia gpu

little osprey
#

wait so what says if its a amd or intel gpu? so ik

autumn wolf
#

cpu

mossy citrus
#

Intel gpu suck balls

autumn wolf
#

cpu and gpu are different things

#

intel doesnt have a gpu yet except for their integrated graphics

little osprey
#

ye i mean like u said rx is amd, and intel is somethn else

autumn wolf
#

intel isnt anything rn

#

rx is their gpu

#

graphics card

mossy citrus
#

Intel is just cpu

autumn wolf
#

not cpu

little osprey
#

ok got any gpus to recommend?

autumn wolf
#

nvidia

#

something from nvidia

mossy citrus
#

Budget?

little osprey
#

under 350?

mossy citrus
#

...

little osprey
#

i could budge and go to 400 if need be

mossy citrus
#

2060 super

#

No

#

Total budget

little osprey
#

ohhh i want my pc under 1200

#

but closest i could get is 1340

mossy citrus
#

Ok

little osprey
#

ill send a list of what i had planned

autumn wolf
#

what currency?

mossy citrus
#

Do u need wifi?

little osprey
#

USD and yes i need wifi

mossy citrus
#

Ok

little osprey
#

cuz im not sure if my new place will have a router (going to be moving soon)

#

brb ill send what build i had in mind

#

have to write it up

#

ill be back in 45 mins, so 10am est

mossy citrus
deep skiff
little osprey
#

alright i got a build written down

#

i cant send pic lol

#

rtx 2080 super 8, u guys really want me to go for that high high end gpu haha, what is the newest one, i saw it at like 1.4k 🤣

viral ore
#

4x8gb ram why?

#

I scrolled up, didn't see anything to justify such an odd config

little osprey
#

Because MoRe RgB

viral ore
#

mmhmm

#

From what I could gather, a build such as this is perfectly fine for what he needs, unless I missed something

#

The case is just a cheap placeholder, but it's still a good cheap case

little osprey
#

case i am going with 6 built in fan case

#

its only 89 bucks

#

i cant do 500w, too low of a power supply

#

wow 2060 used to be at 380 bucks wth? now its at 410 lol

viral ore
#

500w isn't too low

#

500w is what you need

#

What kind of video editing?

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

just basic videos

#

i dont think ill go crazy with animations etc.

#

just like a screen record and thats it

viral ore
#

Oh ok, stuff like that

#

So 1080p video, a handful of effects

#

As long as you aren't gaming while editing your videos, I can't suggest more than 16gb of ram

#

Plus, any caching your system does will be done to nvme, so in the rare event you use more than 16gb, you won't notice a performance hit

vivid coral
#

This makes so much sense

buoyant flame
#

That's a steal 👏

#

You mind if I cop?

little osprey
#

lol

#

hey guys question

#

ssd hard drive vs m.2

#

is there a really big difference between the two

#

and would it be better to not get an ssd hard drive and instead up the m.2 ssd storage

#

im just trying to understand the point of hard drives

#

ik m.2 is faster in read/write and i cant find on info page on pcpartpicker where i can find the read/write speed of a hard drive

#

i also have a list of monitors i want to choose but i dont know which is good

#

my min req for the monitor is that its 144hz, and can run 1440p

#

24-26inches if possible

#

what is tn, va, and ipe on panel type?

#

idk what tenkeyless means

stark bramble
#

tenkeyless is the number pad

little osprey
#

tryna find a mouse, keyboard combo under 30 bucks

stark bramble
#

on the right side of the keyboard

little osprey
#

ahh

stark bramble
#

so tenkeyless is no numpad

little osprey
#

so if it says no, that means it doesnt have it right?

stark bramble
#

not tenkeyless means it has a numpad

little osprey
#

eh dont care as long as the price is down

#

optical mouse is what

#

wireless?

stark bramble
#

optical is the tracking the mouse uses

#

it tends to be better

little osprey
#

aight for 39 bucks ill take it, whatever lol

#

still struggling on monitor choices

#

and ssd m.2 vs hard drive

little osprey
#

cuz idk why have hard drive and m.2

#

aight ima look at that

stark bramble
#

get an ssd if u can afford it

little osprey
#

ye i saw that

stark bramble
#

ah

little osprey
#

ill send my build rn

#

i dont want a keyboard with heavy feedback

#

so the clack clack clack crap is out of here lol

#

i get carpal tunnel really fast on those keyboards, i want something like a laptop keyboard, nice and flat, i dont mind a small curve

stark bramble
#

so you want a non-mechanical keyboard?

little osprey
#

i guess so

stark bramble
#

do you care about looks

#

like backlight

little osprey
#

would be nice to have rgb

stark bramble
#

ok

little osprey
#

but dont care much on looks, i dont buy my pc to look at it, i buy it to play cod or some sht lol

#

ill do the thermaltake keyboard u had

little osprey
#

ye i had that too

stark bramble
#

mm

little osprey
#

theres 2 diff keyboards

#

the 2 u saw

#

knowing what i want in a keyboard, let me know which owuld be a better fit

stark bramble
#

ok

little osprey
#

as far as monitors go i want somethn thats 24 inches but cant get that without spending another 50 bucks so i went 23.6 inches

#

want it to run at 144hz 1440p 1080fps

stark bramble
#

whats ur final budget

little osprey
#

1300 if we exclude the monitor etc.

stark bramble
#

ok

little osprey
#

but i want to get this price down to 1500

#

so i need 55 bucks poof, gone

#

well 12 bucks actually, cuz we have 2 keyboards in there

#

theres gatta be a cheaper monitor, cant possibly all be by 200 bucks i mean cmon lol

stark bramble
#

hm you can save a lot of money if u change ur video card to a radeon

#

or do u want gsync

little osprey
#

i want gsync

stark bramble
#

ok

little osprey
#

i dont think i can get any cheaper motherboard tbh, 163 that surprised me my initial attack was at 220

#

someone here gave me this build and i kinda made some edits

little osprey
#

for motherboard i need wifi and bluetooth

stark bramble
#

ok

little osprey
#

idk if that has it

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey send me link, i'll see if I can make edits

arctic jungle
#

what price do u want it?

stark bramble
#

1500

#

monitor and kb and mouse included

little osprey
#

total 1500

#

there is 2 keyboards btw

arctic jungle
#

k

little osprey
#

one of them will be gone so its not 1555

arctic jungle
#

which one do u not want?

little osprey
#

i am not sure

#

i wanted some help on that

arctic jungle
#

I have a better solution- for keyboard

little osprey
#

I want a keyboard that is like a laptop

arctic jungle
#

oh....

little osprey
#

no feedback

arctic jungle
#

so-

little osprey
#

like this

arctic jungle
#

u mean one with no sound?

little osprey
#

do not need sound on it

#

i am fine with hotkeys

#

fn f11 and f12 lol

arctic jungle
#

Cringe ur not gonna find something like that from outside apple

little osprey
#

ye lol

#

so im fine with a little push up like those 2 have

#

i just dont know which one gives less feedback

arctic jungle
#

outside of a laptop, you may be better off just getting a razer blade 15

#

it'll have a good keyboard

stark bramble
little osprey
#

link?

stark bramble
#

i suggest one of the IPS ones

little osprey
#

@arctic jungle

#

link

#

andnok ima look at it now @stark bramble

arctic jungle
#

one sec

little osprey
#

im tactical btw

#

ganna use my pc, phone dead

#

@stark bramble ye those are the ones i narrowed down to

#

and i chose optix

#

i am not quite sure the difference tho

#

4ms vs 1ms

#

i aso dont know what the panel types mean

stark bramble
#

ips is best

little osprey
#

va tn ips

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

@arctic jungle that laptop is constantly in my inbox, but way too overpriced for the parts they give

#

which is why i dont mind changing my comfortable zone for keyboards just tog et out of laptops

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey not true- don't forget the 144hz display, comes with keyboard as well

outer heart
#

what can i build for ~500?

little osprey
#

the processor was the death to me

#

they chose the one that will last a yr from now

arctic jungle
#

@outer heart try rx 580 and r3

#

@little osprey u don't know what ur talking about... i've bought that exact laptop b4, and my friend uses it, he's never had any problems b4

#

thats y i reccomended it

outer heart
#

kk i’ll check it

little osprey
#

its good for now

#

im not saying its bad

stark bramble
arctic jungle
#

@little osprey he needs a laptop bc he wants a keyboard with 1 mm travel

stark bramble
#

right under 1500

arctic jungle
#

but the keyboard

#

he needs 1 mm travel

#

no external keyboards like that, besides apple

stark bramble
#

hm

#

razer laptops do be kinda pricey tho

arctic jungle
#

nah

little osprey
#

@stark bramble i like it

arctic jungle
#

it's actually perfect

little osprey
#

its perfect for now

#

it can run current games

stark bramble
#

you like the laptop?

little osprey
#

i am tryn to last 10 yrs

#

not 1-2

#

from now

#

not talking about from the time it was manufactured

nocturne folio
#

would MSI GF65 be decent for a secondary pc

little osprey
#

@stark bramble i like ur build

stark bramble
#

ok

#

@nocturne folio looks alright to me

little osprey
#

@arctic jungle how did u send that amazon link

arctic jungle
#

u can't

little osprey
#

it says i cant send links from this website

arctic jungle
#

ur not lvl 3

#

need lvl 3

little osprey
#

oof

#

how do i get there

#

but anyways whats the dpi on that mouse

#

the mouse that communist put in the build is a 1600 dpi

arctic jungle
#

16k

#

razer basilisk x hyperspeed

nocturne folio
#

tbh i think ima spend way to much money in 12 months from now

little osprey
#

16000

#

so my 1600 is not good

#

ok im back on this account, switched of on my comp

#

that was the mouse he chose

nocturne folio
#

lmao what was his budget ive seen stickers cost more

potent prairie
#

I'm on a bit of a budget, is this good?
@hushed crystal
Do you have an actual parts list, b/c 400w ATX power supply tells me nothing. I could probably get you a better value build if you tell me your max budget and use case

potent prairie
#

Compared to?

little osprey
#

i just need a motherboard that can hold an amd cpu

#

one sec lemme get my build link again

nocturne folio
#

tomahawk ??

little osprey
potent prairie
#

Yeah, I mean there are cheaper ones you can get, but that is a solid one

#

The p1 ssd is meh tho

little osprey
#

the one i have is better

potent prairie
#

I would get a mp34 (QLC-->TLC)

little osprey
#

mp34?

#

is that a motherboard or what

potent prairie
#

No, ssdf

@little osprey I fixed ur parts list

#

note: 2070 is better than 2060 super

little osprey
#

i got this one because from 256gb ssd to 512 it was only 5 bucks

arctic jungle
#

also with a 2070 u can do 2k 144

little osprey
#

@arctic jungle someone told me 2070 will be obs or somethn like that

#

basically not supported

potent prairie
#

@little osprey I fixed ur parts list
Yeah, but I'd get the ROG mobo b/c cheaper, same chipset, and still rgb

arctic jungle
#

...

little osprey
#

they said 2060 would get more support

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey who tf told u that?

#

rtx 2070 is a solid card, way better

little osprey
#

infinity2437

nocturne folio
#

lmao nah the 2080 ti is solid card way better lmao

arctic jungle
#

yea

stark bramble
#

ngl that monitor kinda eh

arctic jungle
#

but its also 1300

potent prairie
#

You don't always need to buy the best

arctic jungle
#

@stark bramble monitor is fine

stark bramble
#

its a tn for 240

#

iv seen much better deals

nocturne folio
#

lao its 1700cad rn

arctic jungle
#

tn is better for gaming'

potent prairie
#

Eh

stark bramble
#

rly?

potent prairie
#

No

stark bramble
#

i thought ips best

arctic jungle
#

not for gaming

potent prairie
#

the response time is not that big a deal imo

#

I think ips is worth an extra 2ms

little osprey
#

uhm

#

2k 144hx monitor

#

whats the difference betweent hat and what i chose

#

cuz thats 239, one i chose was 179

#

hello

nocturne folio
#

which one did you choose

little osprey
#

its 2060 super good ?

#

and i have a i5-7500

#

?

#

people also dont like that case i read its reviews

#

i am stickin to mutex on that one cuz it comes with fans as well

potent prairie
#

What are you gonna use it for? What is your budget

stark bramble
#

the case do be kinda ugly

nocturne folio
#

can i see your list

#

and your budget

potent prairie
#

Man this chat is a mess rn

#

lol

little osprey
#

my budget is 1500

#

and ye it is lol

nocturne folio
#

and currency

little osprey
#

usd

#

thats my thing

nocturne folio
#

what do you wanna do with it doe and does that 1500 include monitor and perfs

little osprey
#

im rn lookin at what the other guy posted

stark bramble
#

how good are rosewill cases

little osprey
#

ye includes monitor and perfs

potent prairie
#

@little osprey I'd get that ROG board that is $30 less & MP34 500GB

stark bramble
#

he wants wifi and bluetooth

nocturne folio
#

why 2 keyboards and the ryzen 7 isnt needed lmao

little osprey
#

just 1 keyboard option

potent prairie
#

Ah. Gimmie a sec to look around

little osprey
#

i have 2 on there just for now

stark bramble
#

yeah the ryzen kina overkill

#

5 3600 better

little osprey
#

i want it to last 10 yrs

#

so im fine with the 8 core so i dont have to change it for a while

nocturne folio
#

no pc lasts 10 years

stark bramble
#

^

nocturne folio
#

at best you can pull maybe 7

little osprey
#

ok 7

#

well ofcrs other parts will be traded out

stark bramble
#

ryzen 5 3600 is perfectly fine for long last

little osprey
#

but atleast the cpu wont need to be changed

arctic jungle
#

... 8 cores will be obselete in a few years

nocturne folio
#

but thats like praying

potent prairie
little osprey
#

ye prob will be haha

nocturne folio
#

5 is more where you'd get maybe 6

arctic jungle
#

and a100 is already 43% better than titan rtx

#

so

#

no point building now

little osprey
#

a100?

arctic jungle
#

ampere

#

nvidia's prototype

little osprey
#

when will that release

#

so i can get the price drop on the gpu

arctic jungle
#

oh lol

#

it's 10k

#

for the prototype

little osprey
#

wait its out alrdy

arctic jungle
#

a100? ofc

little osprey
#

oh lol

arctic jungle
#

it's nvidia competign with themselves to beat quadro

#

@little osprey it's meant for data centers

#

not gaming

little osprey
#

u did gigabyte 2070

arctic jungle
#

30 series won't be out for another month or 2

#

yea ik

little osprey
#

people keep telling me geforce

#

evga

arctic jungle
#

...

#

it's the cheapest

#

also evga looks bad

little osprey
#

but in terms of performance

#

i dont care about looks

arctic jungle
#

same performance

little osprey
#

i am not buying a pc to stare at it lol

arctic jungle
#

...

#

same performance bruh

stark bramble
little osprey
#

ok

nocturne folio
#

the list is almost done its not the best but i just need to put in a better monitor and perfs with the remaining $100

little osprey
#

lemme digest all of this

#

is there like a voice chat here

#

so i can check these builds and talk

#

oh towards the bottom

arctic jungle
#

@stark bramble bad mouse, try baslisk x hyperspeed

I'm tight on money at the moment, so it's what I had to settle with. My old 2014 computer was about to die off as well. (It was an Acer Aspire X with 1TB HDD, Intel i3 4760[?] gen 5, and 6GB of DDR3 RAM.)

stark bramble
#

@stark bramble Better but you can still save $30 on the mobo I linked
@potent prairie the gigabyte shows the bios warning thingy

potent prairie
#

Not a biggie, that shows up on pretty much every mobo

stark bramble
#

ok

little osprey
potent prairie

Consider the Dark Core Pro mouse if you are cashing out $60 on it. You can get on refurbed on corsair for that much

@stark bramble sn750 is good, but MP34 is cheaper for eqv specs

stark bramble

hm

#

ok

potent prairie

$5, but everything adds up

nocturne folio
#

will the 3080ti be out before this time in 2021

stark bramble

@potent prairie i want a cache tho

potent prairie

Mp34 has dram

@torn valve You might want to connect your CPU heat sink via USB to the mobo so you will be able to control the outer fan led’s and the logo lights.

I got these phanteks neon cable combo set, but then realised it connects to a D rgb header which I don't think i have on mobo. The rgb strip is a 3 pin 5V

Do i need an adapter or a connector for me to connect to my mobo?

jade kestrel
stoic island
#

@jade kestrel you could just get a single stick of sabrent rocket 2tb

#

bad thing about mp34 is that highest capacity is 1tb per stick

jade kestrel
#

I was thinking about a redundant raid, but I suppose I don't need that with the t-force. derps.

stoic island
#

I mean

#

Raid 1 is very inefficient yaknow

#

I think cloud backup for important files works

jade kestrel
#

Mostly just game files, but slow internet.

#

If I only went with 1 tb would you suggest mp34 or rocket?

stoic island
#

mp34

#

both are the same drive under the cover basically

#

but mp34 is cheaper usually

jade kestrel
stoic island
#

ram choice is interesting

jade kestrel
#

what would you suggest? I'm guessing no rgb

stoic island
#

I mean the 2x32gb part

#

Neo is fine, I like them for their look, I understand that

jade kestrel
#

Ohh! I just figured I'd go for 64 right up front

little leaf
#

@jade kestrel whats the purpose of the pc?

jade kestrel
#

Gaming and looking pretty in my room, ngl

stoic island
#

Gaming doesn't even need 32gb today

#

2x32 is like way overkill

#

unless you're trying to edit some 4k videos in real time or something

jade kestrel
#

I suppose I can just do one stick in that board

looking to built a gaming computer in a $800 budget, is there anyone here that has done so if so could you give me some pointers

if your gaming lol why nota 2080ti

#

you are wasting money

jade kestrel
#

Because an extra $700+

little leaf
#

yes but you sepnding 2k either way

#

at least get a 2080s lmao

stoic island
#

because 2x16gb should be fine

jade kestrel
#

Because I have 2k, I dont have 2.7k

for half a decade or so

I know that

I wish I could just use them memory in my system now. 2x16 but not compatible

why not?

oof

this is going to be a huge upgrade for me

I doubt it's a gaming build tho

:v or we could wait

he said it is a gaming build

#

thats a bad idea for just gaming

like really bad

jade kestrel
#

She, and I really don't care for intel

little leaf
#

and don't vertical mount gpu

#

10600k is best for gaming

cursive wharf
#

Bitcoin's build is much more ideal for gaming

#

If ya want looks go custom loop
$300 or so for a complete RGB CPU/GPU loop

Could someone help me with a build. My budget is 1500. Wanting to do 1440p gaming. At least 60fps on max settings. No monitor or keyboard ect needed.

Looking to built a gaming computer in a $800 budget, is there anyone here that has done so if so could you give me some pointers

jade kestrel
#

if i was doing high fps shooters an stuff i'd consider it.

cursive wharf
#

Literally just get the 2080Ti used, or wait till next gen, and you get Bitcoin's build for 2k

#

And it'd blow that 3900x/2070S out of the water for gaming

static sierra
#

not trying to start something, just want other opinions for CPU. 3950x or a CPU from intel - you would choose with 2080 ti (more than likely going for a 3080 ti or 3090 when time comes). This is going to be for server, gaming, coding, streaming, and editing. Or would you suggest the 3950x? it's going to be air cooled with a black nh-d15.

cursive wharf
#

Get a 4900x or whatever AMDs next CPU will be if waiting till next gen

solemn rover
#

U guys must be smart with computers

static sierra
#

didn't hear about that one yet @cursive wharf . I am mainly focused on the decent frequency and total cores for the server and my side of things.

cursive wharf
#

AMD 4000 series CPUs, Zen3, is expected to release this year. Going to have some decent per core perf increase as well as probs a bit extra multi core increase at the same amount of cores. So like for example single core increase is 15% and multi core is 20% (% is examples, no actual perf data released yet)

static sierra
#

also slightly worried about price lol

cursive wharf
#

Not going to be too much higher I'd say. AMD is still looked at as the underdog

static sierra
#

don't want to bust over the 3k mark for creating my new computer at the end of the year.

#

nor the 2500 mark lol

cursive wharf
#

$700 CPU+1000 GPU is what I'd expect for the most expensive parts

static sierra
#

the 2080 ti alone is about 1,200 lol

cursive wharf
#

Most cuz it's OOS

#

And 3000 is expected to lower price

static sierra
#

I'll wait till I see that lol

silk estuary
#

Hmm

#

Question, is there anything bad that comes with vertical mounting a gpu?

static sierra
#

long time since I have actually built a desktop

spiral zealot
#

@silk estuary if it's too close to the side panel/window, it can mess with airflow to the card

silk estuary
#

Right, I figured that part, but besides that is anything really... bad about it?

Can't use any of the other pcie slots on your board @silk estuary

Hey guys! I have a fun problem with my new build. It worked for about 2 weeks 🤷‍♂️

#

Bah... can't post links...

polar condor
#

aw

quiet prism
#

Frustrating :/

celest horizon
#

Post pics through imgur or copy paste directly into discord

quiet prism
#

Okay. Sorry about that. What about a vid?

junior current
#

Can someone check build pics chat I had a question about a psu connection to my motherboard

celest horizon
#

That's fine too - I recommend imgur because it'll automatically strip out any of your personal info/metadata and loads very quickly for viewers in an embed

#

Added regular roles for both of you - repost here please

quiet prism
#

👍

celest horizon
#

To clarify - you can post pics in any channel when you have the regular role

sweet lily
#

@junior current ok yeah modern motherboards use the 24 pin cable for power you would need to get a new motherboard im pretty sure but you some research on your own time if you want.

quiet prism
#

Is this a failure to post?

celest horizon
#

Did you plug in both cpu fan cables?

#

Nvm, looks like yes

#

Looks like it's turning on, then shutting off, maybe from psu over-current protection - i.e. - maybe you have some cable plugged in where it shouldn't be

quiet prism
#

Hmm, it worked for about 2 weeks though

#

Then just switched off mid-use. It has been doing this since then.

#

I checked the CPU heat sink immediately and it wasn't warm to the touch, so hopefully it wasn't a CPU burning out.

celest horizon
#

Probably not a cabling issue then.

#

Seems like psu failure, hard to diagnose unless you have extra parts with which to test each component separately.

quiet prism
#

Yeah 😦

#

I think I'm going to have to pay some tech shop to have a go at it. Agreed?

celest horizon
#

I'd try clearing the cmos first, then reseating/replugging the gpu/memory etc first

quiet prism
#

Yeah, I'll give those two components a shot

#

My money is on the motherboard being faulty though.

#

So after your suggestion to scrap and restart, here is the build I’m considering:
Ryzen 7 3700X, 5700XT, 32 GB DDR4 3600, WD Black 1 TB NVMe, ROG Strix B550-F

quiet prism
#

I have that build almost. It's good.

#

Also, it was on of my sticks of RAM that died!

fathom garden
#

Havent decided between 27” monitor or 34” UWQHD

cursive wharf
#

@fathom garden what will it be used for?

#

gaming, workstation stuff, etc

quiet prism
#

It posts now.

#

Thanks for the encouragement!

celest horizon
sweet lily
#

did you just barley get the ram or did just die

#

barely*

quiet prism
#

I had it for less than a month. One just stopped working

#

2 sticks of 32GB

fathom garden
#

@cursive wharf gaming

sweet lily
#

you can probably return it and get a working one

quiet prism
#

Yeah, I'll be calling them tomorrow for a replacement.

cursive wharf
#

@fathom garden 3700x is a waste, only need 16gb of RAM, mobo is a waste, SSD is pricier then other options, then port all that extra money towards a better GPU
Also best to wait for next gen GPUs/CPUs

#

R5 3600, 16GB 3600MT/s CL16, decent b450/b550, 1tb EX950, then whatever GPU you can get

#

for example if current gen

fathom garden
#

Considered that but most of the reviews I’d seen said if could swing to step up to 7 for multitasking. Also from what I’d seen said the 5700 was a good chip. What do you suggest in place then?

stoic island
#

What kinda multitasking do you do, that's the question @fathom garden

#

And wait next gen for GPU

#

5700 is good now, not the future

tepid basalt
#

yeah

#

if you build new rn, just wait

stoic island
#

6c12t is enough to do a lot of things

tepid basalt
#

I'd buy a cheap place holder gpu while waiting

#

if you really need the rig

stoic island
#

A Ryzen 5 ain't as flimsy as them Intel 6c6t chips

#

:p

fathom garden
#

Want to be able to do small amount of editing and cad work occasionally. Any idea when new chips will drop?

tepid basalt
#

september

#

the month after next

stoic island
#

Editing works fine off 6c12t

tepid basalt
#

but availability is another story

stoic island
#

So does cad

#

Not worth spending 100$ more for work you occasionally do

fathom garden
#

Yeah my plan was to use the 3600 but thought would step up to 3700 since not much more. Will CPU and GPUs be dropping then?

stoic island
#

Maybe, can't predict the future

fathom garden
#

Just saying expected for both to drop at same time.

stoic island
#

GPU prices are expected to drop

#

CPU we don't know release dates or anything so dunno

fathom garden
#

Thanks

What is better 1650 or rx 570 oc 8 gb

stoic island

570, but 1650 super beats 570 and 580

analog hazel
#

I have a question people are telling me I can run 4k games on a ryzen 5 3600 without a graphics card is it true?

stoic island
#

No

#

You can't run any games without a graphics card on 3600 @analog hazel

tepid basalt
analog hazel
#

Ok thanks for the info

stoic island
#

I think they meant to say a 3600, if the graphics card is good, can run 4k

analog hazel
#

My friends are telling me a graphics card is useless

stoic island
#

Lmao they're trolling you

#

You have some bad friends

tepid basalt
#

they're having fun

#

I troll my friends sometimes like that too ROFLEgg

stoic island
#

Then you are a bad friend karozy :p

tepid basalt
#

sadly tech-illiterate friend is what I don't have many

#

well, at least I don't let them spread false information 😛

analog hazel
#

but what about the ryzen 5 with integrated graphics

stoic island
#

Integrated graphics is just crappy graphics card

#

Crappy in the way of like a 5 year old graphics card

analog hazel
#

Ok I'm just curious its my first build

stoic island
#

Just look at UB

#

Still beaten by a mid end card from 8 years ago

#

iGPUs are NOT replacements for GPUs, they're placeholders

little osprey
#

wont be long.

#

look at the custom APUs in the consoles

tepid basalt
#

?

#

what consoles use custom APU?

#

I'm really curious @little osprey

cursive wharf
#

dont they all do? That or SoC?

little osprey
#

^

#

they do amazing things with those lower end custom apus

#

bed

stoic island
#

@cursive wharf correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it just a custom GPU soldered right on the board and not an iGPU in the conventional way?

cursive wharf
#

so then I guess semi SoC? Or would that still technically be considered an APU?

sand falcon
#

SoC compared to APU is very fine line

stoic island
#

Anyways too lazy to do more research but it's a lot of optimization games have to do to be good on console

sand falcon
#

I think it's mostly the memory config, isn't it?

stoic island
#

Oh right it's an Apu in the sense of sharing system mem

#

Instead of having dedicated vram

sand falcon
#

I was more thinking don't SoC have some amount of memory built in

robust plover
#

Ok

dusty tree
#

Thinking about getting the Fractal Meshify C or something very similar to it. But it barely fits a front mounted radiator and a bigger graphics card. Anything similar?

stoic island
#

Why front mounted?

#

Why do you need a 360mm rad?

#

And how big a GPU are you talking...

#

A thick rad and fans might interfere with a bit triple fan say windforce OC

#

But should still fit most of the time

quasi girder
#

I have 2 cpu cooler fans can the other one be used at all for something else?

stoic island
#

Depends on the cpu cooler

#

Like Noctua NF A15 that comes on the d15 is a weird size to be mounted as a case fan

quasi girder
#

What if I use the cpu cooler that I bought instead of the wraith stealth fan that came with the ryzen 5 3600?

stoic island
#

Oh you mean the CPU cooler

#

Unless you have another CPU you need cooled, no

quasi girder
#

Dang it

#

Is Enermax thermal paste good?

vale onyx
#

Hey yall, got some questions

stoic island
#

Okay

vale onyx
#

So recently ive been having problems with my laptop, its always ran great and does what i need it to do like minecraft and warthunder, but lately ive had to lower my graphic settings so low that the games arent really playable anymore. Keep in mind it used to run these games on max settings, anything i can do? So far ive reset it and ive ordered some new thermal paste since both the cpu and gpu share the same heat pipe.

stoic island
#

So have you noticed fps differences?

vale onyx
#

Yes very it used to run 60fps on high in both these games but now im lucky if i get 20 on med and low

stoic island
#

What laptop

vale onyx
#

Asus vivobook i think

#

Its an early 2019 model

#

Ive kept up on driver updates mostly becuase of wt, since it likes to crash when the drivers are out of date

#

Ive kinda considered thinking that maybe the new drivers or the stacks of drivers that have been the problem since ive noticed nvidia isnt the nicest company when it comes to older tech

stoic island
#

True

#

I assumed you've kept up with windows updates?

#

GeForce experience has an option to rollback drivers iirc

vale onyx
#

Yep, i dont have it on auto update but i check it every month

#

but as of now its up to date

#

So i have like one more thing i wanna try before i go to bed do you think i could use a driver remover app and then instal the new ones to se if that helps or is that a bad idea since its a laptop

stoic island
#

DDU you can try it

vale onyx
#

Idk how laptops work lol i mostly dabble in desktops

stoic island
#

They're the same generally

#

Just a compact form factor

vale onyx
#

#

Me: lookes up chrome

#

Edge: pls no your already browsing on a seach engine

#

They shoulda bought google when they had the chance

stoic island
#

But now they use chromium lol

vale onyx
#

XD yep

#

Aight its restarting now

#

The hopefully i can get it working lol and this doesnt brick my laptop

stoic island
#

If you DDU once you restart it'll look weird until you install drivers

#

Just a warning you didn't break anything if it looks like 720p

vale onyx
#

Okay

#

So far so good im installing geforce experience

#

Do you have a good gpu stress test i could try?

stoic island
#

Furmark if you want stress test

#

But I think you want benchmark

#

Use userbenchmark

#

@vale onyx use userbenchmark

vale onyx
#

Okay

#

Ty

rough loom
#

eww userbench

vale onyx
#

Im running it agaim becuase it was using the intel graphics instead of the nividia graphics

rough loom
#

why not just use the free version of 3d mark

vale onyx
#

Hmm it does seem to be getting hot now 🤔 maybe the temp sensors were bugged before i reset it

#

Its running about 60 idle, is that okay for laptops to me that doesnt sound good

Is it ok if I use a 30-50 dollar cheap apevia 750 watt power supply in an around 1k build

spiral zealot
#

i wouldn't, look for something like an EVGA BR, i think you can pull a 550W for around $60 or so?

little osprey
#

What if it’s already in my pc

#

And I’ve been using it for 4 years

#

I’m scared it might blow up

tepid basalt
#

it hasn't exploded has it?

little osprey
#

Because I plan on getting new house

spiral zealot
#

if it's made it this far, you might get lucky

little osprey
#

Gpu*

#

No it hasn’t

tepid basalt
spiral zealot
#

but i'd still replace it

little osprey
#

Ok

tepid basalt
#

take a picture of the wattage label

little osprey
#

Thanks

tepid basalt
#

?

little osprey
#

Ok

tepid basalt
#

i wanna see the spec

spiral zealot
#

what cpu/gpu are you running?

little osprey
#

Let me look

#

I’m running an i5 9600k and a 1050 ti

#

It won’t let me send pics

spiral zealot
#

yeah you can probably run something like a 500W and be fine

tepid basalt
#

dm me

little osprey
#

Ok
