nvidia gpu?

white osprey
#

yes 2070s

deep skiff
#

go to nvidia control panel

white osprey
#

i have a 1050 in this rig

deep skiff
#

and under resolution it should have a hz setting make sure its at 144

white osprey
#

can i do it from geforce experoience

deep skiff
#

i dont think so but i just use control panel

white osprey
#

do i have download it

deep skiff
#

no right click on the desktop and it should be an option

meager radish
#

@little osprey doesn't need software for video to show, but it could be either what you have speculated, old psu could have killed components, does the motherboard have a speaker for beep codes?

little osprey
#

Might not sure
I see a green led at the bottom right though

white osprey
#

gives me option to go up to 120 hz

#

but 144hz monitor

deep skiff
#

what kind of cable you using?

white osprey
#

hdmi

deep skiff
#

do you have a displayport cable you could try?

white osprey
#

figured it out

#

there was 2 1080p options

#

thanks for help

safe magnet
#

bruh it deleted ._.

deep skiff
#

o thats nice to know

safe magnet
#

accidentally deleted lol

#

idk if my new pc gon be nice or not. im pretty much buying a whole new setup tho

meager radish
#

@little osprey hmm try to disconnect the gpu all together and see if you can boot onboard graphics again

little osprey
#

Hold up ok now something is showing

#

It did a single high pitched beep and my screen says
"Please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(s) for this graphics card"

meager radish
#

connect the pcie cables to the gpu and it should boot right up then

#

it's a good sign since it's booting this time

little osprey
#

Holy shit it's posting omg I'm fucking screaming

meager radish
#

yes! good thing that the old psu didnt take the whole pc down with it good job! Nice

little osprey
#

I realized the the gpu supply cable kinda like two heads put together and took the smaller part off to connect the second thing ohhh Lord I'm relieved thanks so much man @meager radish

wary geode
#

This or that?

#

I ain’t good with mics

meager radish
#

@little osprey anytime my friend Celebration

outer heart
#

@little osprey what did you use for windows installation

fast dust
meager radish
wary geode
#

Trying to get one for the next 4-7 years and I really only know fifine blue yeti and toner

little osprey
#

Oh no i received it from a friend @outer heart

wary geode
#

It’s prob good just worried about long term

#

@fast dust

little osprey
#

It's all set up just needed to power it on and stuff

fast dust
#

hm

outer heart
#

ah lol

little osprey
#

So now that's what i'm using to message on now

stuck wraith
meager radish
#

yes but you have two different sets of ram in the list

little osprey
#

other than ram you should be fine

meager radish
#

windows 10 you could really get on the cheap instead of oem new for #100

#

$100*

#

or not pay at all for it and have a watermark

stuck wraith
#

ok, thx! i'm a newb at this, so thank you very much

meager radish
#

@stuck wraith I would keep the t-force 16gb kit on the list and remove the gskill 8gb kit

deep skiff
#

ya rule 1 here is never pay $100 for windows :v

meager radish
#

yeah you can also reuse keys as well which is quite insane

spiral zealot
#

waiting for parts to come in the mail is the worst

#

i have like 3 deliveries today, and then the rest is coming on tuesday

#

and it's just the worst

wary geode
#

Got this one hopefully I didn’t screw up

little osprey
#

Got one last thing
I've got a temp display on the front of the case but I'm not sure if it's plugged in or how to

meager radish
#

is it built into the case or is it an add on? ThinkingEgg

#

some use a pwm fan connectors for the signal to receive the temp info

little osprey
#

Built im

meager radish
#

the cable for it could be near where your front panel is located

little osprey
#

ok which one is better nvidia or amd

#

For frames AMD
for features Nvidia

#

Nvidia has rtx

#

how does amd give more fps

meager radish
#

for Q4 AMD seems pretty strong for the next gpu launch compared to nvidia, their pricing will definitely be an edge, and since nvidia is going with an older process of 8nm amd will be more power efficient

opal stratus
#

Holy crap this thing is tiny

little osprey
#

oh ok

#

wait

#

are we talking about the amd gpu or cpu

meager radish
#

GPU

little osprey
#

oh ok

#

how about intel vs amd cpus

#

which one would be better

stoic island
#

For what budget

#

That's the deciding factor

jade kestrel
#

I see scary things

stoic island
#

@opal stratus that a sfx Corsair PSU?

#

I remember ATX Corsair PSUs being long bois

#

And also there's been a recall for one of the SFX Corsair models

meager radish
#

Intel is great, they have a great new line up which I do own a 10600k but for now it's AMD for pricing really

stoic island
#

A month ago or so

#

It all depends on the budget

#

If your budget is 3000$ 10900k all the way for gaming lol

#

1000$ can't do much better than a 3600/3300x

little osprey
#

Can someone help me with a build I’ve put together, but tit won’t start up

stoic island
#

Anything turn on

#

Or no

little osprey
#

Nothing

#

I have a motherboard that has a 8 pin psu cpu cable right

stoic island
#

Check front io connectors

#

Most do

little osprey
#

But mine has an extra 4 pin

stoic island
#

If nothing happens when you press the power button, check if the power button is plugged in

little osprey
#

So I’m assuming that’s the problem

opal stratus
#

@stoic island yeah it is

stoic island
#

No

#

Extra 4 pin is extra on am4 boards

little osprey
#

Oh ok

stoic island
#

It's never that simple sadly

#

@little osprey did you flip the switch on the PSU

opal stratus
#

Heading to micro center rn cuz I forgot an sfx to atx psu

little osprey
#

Yes lol

stoic island
#

Check front io connectors then

little osprey
#

Ok

stoic island
#

Make sure power + - is in the right place

little osprey
#

I think they’re all connected

#

But I’ll check

little leaf
#

@stoic island hey just got the 1650s and no post , but now the 1060 wont post either put it posted with the 1060 and I didnt change anything

#

Everything is looking fine

#

But no post

stoic island
#

Any debug led?

little leaf
#

Nope

#

Or speaker

stoic island
#

What turns on and what doesn't

little leaf
#

Everything turns on

#

Doesnt post

stoic island
#

No output?

little leaf
#

Nope

#

With multiple gpus

stoic island
#

Doing 1 GPU at a time right

little leaf
#

Tried a 970 1060 1650s

#

Yes

stoic island
#

Reset cmos?

little leaf
#

Done

stoic island
#

Reseat ram just in case

little leaf
#

Done

#

It posted with the 1060 before

stoic island
#

Why can't boards just have debug LEDs xd

little leaf
#

And I didnt change anything

stoic island
#

Check power cables again I guess

meager radish
#

could be a bad psu

stoic island
#

Everything turns on so

#

I doubt it

little osprey
#

The io ports are the buttons on top of the case right?

meager radish
#

there was a similar issue with another user and it was fixed with another psu

little leaf
#

Ill try

stoic island
#

They connect in a cluster in the bottom right of the motherboard

little osprey
#

Oh yes

#

They are connected properly

#

And they’re in all the way

little leaf
#

Try jumping it

outer heart
#

should i use micro atx or atx mobo

little leaf
#

Depends on how big u want the build

#

M atx are usually cheaper

stoic island
outer heart
#

yeah that’s what i’m leaning towards

stoic island
#

There try that

little osprey
#

Ok thanks

stoic island
#

If that doesn't do anything, prob PSU thing, check the cables again, and possibly a PSU problem

little osprey
#

The thing is, everything is plugged in properly, and the power button is connected, but it just won’t boot up

#

It’s probably the psu

#

But I know the psu is working because I can see that it’s supplying power to the motherboard, because when I unplug the cpu pins a red light turns on to tell me to plug it in

#

So clearly it’s getting power

stoic island
#

Red light is debug LEDs I assume?

little osprey
#

Yes

stoic island
#

Weird

little osprey
#

It’s at the top left of my motherboard, next to the cpu pins

#

For power

stoic island
#

So fans don't spin but debug LEDs are getting power

little osprey
#

Yeah

stoic island
#

I assume you already checked the power cables?

little osprey
#

But when I plug in the cpu 8 pin cable the light goes away, assuming it’s getting power, but it won’t start

#

Yep

#

Everything is in its place, gpu, motherboard, cpu, usb, and other crap

stoic island
#

Could be a Mobo issue too then..

#

Does the GPU fans spin?

little osprey
#

Nope, like I said, literally nothing happens

stoic island
#

And if there is any rgb/led on it, does it turn on?

#

Huh

little osprey
#

Just the red led

meager radish
#

Disconnect the cpu eps and see if it powers on

#

Not posting

#

Just to see if it powers up

little osprey
#

Eps?

#

I’m new to this whole thing

#

Sorry

stoic island
#

CPU power, 8pin in the top left

little osprey
#

Ok

stoic island
#

It's just also called eps

meager radish
#

If it turns on and runs then you have a vrm short

little osprey
#

Ok I unplugged the 8 pin cpu connector and then I tried to turn it on, but then the red led came on again

stoic island
#

Nothing else?

little osprey
#

Nope

#

Nothing stirred at all

meager radish
#

What motherboard do you have?

little osprey
#

It’s called the ASUS prime-x570 pro

#

It’s an amd

stoic island
#

Does the fan on the PSU spin at all

little osprey
#

Not even that

#

Oh so maybe it’s the psu

stoic island
#

Try this

little osprey
#

Thanks, but I don’t think it’s dead, because it’s giving power to the motherboard or else that led wouldn’t turn on

#

But I could be wrong

meager radish
#

What psu do you have?

little osprey
#

It’s an EVGA GA supernova 80+ gold 650watt

stoic island
#

I'm just thinking but it's possible cmos battery could power LEDs, but then it doesn't make sense how it knows the EPS power got unplugged, unless it had power running through the EPS cable

little osprey
#

Yeah

#

It’s whenever I unplug the cpu power cable

meager radish
#

The fan shouldnt turn on until a certain temp on those i believe

stoic island
#

Yea

little osprey
#

Ok

#

That’s a good sign

#

Hopefully

stoic island
#

For now it's most likely a defective PSU.?

white osprey
#

Ebay windows 10 key codes legit?

little osprey
#

I also checked to make sure my m.2 was in all the way

stoic island
#

Most of them yes

#

And Mobo is next most likely

little osprey
#

And it was

meager radish
#

Most of them you need to redeem them offline without wifi for them to work

stoic island
#

Do you have a spare PSU around?

meager radish
#

Then they work online

little osprey
#

Ugh that would suck if the mobo is dead

#

Nope

white osprey
#

So go in bios and put in code while offline then go back online?

little osprey
#

But I’m having a friend come this weekend and he’s gonna rest out his on my pc

meager radish
#

also a bad bios flash could cause that issue

stoic island
#

@meager radish mine didn't work that way so...

#

Also bad bios flash would just make it not post

#

Power should still go through

meager radish
#

Is it a new board that you got?

little osprey
#

Yes

#

Brand new

meager radish
#

Possible DOA then

white osprey
#

Any reasons why shipping times are until august but say instant in bio?

stoic island
#

They don't get shipped

#

They send you a key in a message or email you

meager radish
#

It sends them instantly through ebay message or email

stoic island
#

But eBay automatically has the shipping estimate thing

little osprey
#

Well I dunno what to do

#

Ig I’ll just wait to buy another psu

stoic island
#

@little osprey you can try starting a RMA on the PSU or return it

little osprey
#

What’s rma

stoic island
#

And if a new PSU doesn't work, motherboard was prob dead

meager radish
#

If that doesnt work returning the board for replacement from retailer would be best

stoic island
#

Its like returning for a new board

little osprey
#

Oh

stoic island
#

Back to the manufacturer

#

For example, a return would go to Newegg, an RMA would go to EVGA

little osprey
#

Hmm

#

Ok

stoic island
#

Newegg would refund you

little osprey
#

Well thanks for all your help

#

Yeah they would

stoic island
#

EVGA would likely send you a new unit after they think the current one is broke

little osprey
#

Hello everyone

stoic island
#

Hello

sweet lily
#

is there any temperature or any performance differences in a mATX vs just a normal ATX or is just a smaller board and thats it.

#

like i wouldn't expect there to be much difference aside from size but just making sure

wary geode
#

Smaller board.

white osprey
#

just plugged in a flash drive

wary geode
#

Less pci slots but that really doesn’t matter

#

Oki doke

white osprey
#

"usb device not recognized"

#

what does this mean

#

morel ike how do i fix it

wary geode
#

Do you put it on the motherboard side

white osprey
#

no

wary geode
#

Put it there

white osprey
#

ok

wary geode
#

And restart

#

That maybe will help

white osprey
#

restart pc?

sweet lily
#

yeah i didn't think it did much if anything at all but thanks for the clarification

white osprey
#

ok it worked

#

didnt need to restart pc

slender owl
#

What a good 2x8gb ram?

white osprey
#

14.3gb is enough for windows download right?

slender owl
#

Should be

wary geode
#

Yea

#

Lol bet I did soemthing today

white osprey
#

yall think this legit

fast dust
#

probably

stark bramble
#

im trying to decide between video cards

fast dust
#

75Hz 1080p monitor for RTX 2070 super?!

#

oh wait thats secondary

#

oops

#

but it looks good

#

what's the other GPU you're thinking about

wary geode
#

YeaaAaaa

#

What about a 1080 ti is it better or worse than a 2070

slender owl
#

I’ve seen people have an ssd for games they play a lot/system boot and then an hdd for games they don’t play as often/files. Really up to you though. 1tb might fill up quick

fast dust
#

yeah I have 512gb SSD + 2TB HDD. Hard drive is actually plenty fast for games

#

but lots of people don't like having to install on a secondary. They like not having to select it

wary geode
#

Yeah I agree

#

I have 256 and 2tb I don’t complain

white osprey
#

other website with cheap windows keys?

#

ebay strongarm people to get paypal

merry mango
#

is this the chat i can get help in

fast dust
#

yes

merry mango
#

ok so i just got ram and put it in my computer and now i have 4 physical ram and 15.9 vurital ram

#

idk what to do

fast dust
#

that't normal

merry mango
#

but what is it

fast dust
#

all of your sticks are 4gb correct?

merry mango
#

no

#

1 of my sticks died and i have 1 4 and 2 8

fast dust
#

so... 2x8gb + 1x4gb?

merry mango
#

yes

fast dust
#

can you PM me a pic of what it looks like irl

#

so... one of those sticks is dead?

merry mango
#

yes

wary geode
#

Huh

fast dust
#

take the one that's dead out

wary geode
#

And switch it

fast dust
#

and then retry

wary geode
#

With a different slot

merry mango
#

idk which one is dead

wary geode
#

Try 2nd slot

#

The Arabic name is right

fast dust
#

it might be one of the 8gb sticks, since only 16gb is showing in windows

wary geode
#

It looks to be another brand let’s start there

#

Yes

merry mango
#

yes

fast dust
#

mixing and matching ram is fine. It doesn't damage it unless theyre different power-wise or DDR4 mixed with DDR3 (somehow)

wary geode
#

I know but let do that it irritates me

merry mango
#

its all ddr4

fast dust
#

so take one of the 8gb sticks out, and then reboot

#

If it's one of the 8gb sticks that's dead, your problem is expected to happen

merry mango
#

it cant be i just put it in like 20 minutes ago

so this means that only works in bios ?

celest horizon
#

Use the media creation tool

white osprey
#

yes

celest horizon
#

Don't use the copy of windows that comes on a dvd or usb stick

white osprey
#

im not

#

its a code

#

i think its saying that the code only works when you first try to install windows 10 through bios

celest horizon
#

nah

merry mango
#

hey fork

white osprey
#

so then

#

download media tool

#

put it on new pc

#

go in bios

use code?

wary geode
#

Fork

white osprey

fr?

wary geode
#

Yes

celest horizon
#

Just install windows as normal, enter the key once windows is installed

wary geode

ill pm you

edgy wagon
#

2060 or 2070 paired with r5 3600?

stoic island
#

Why not 2070 super

#

Heh

edgy wagon
#

ah yes throw another hundred at my pc

#

is there a big enough dif between 70 and the 60 to justify the upgrade?

#

aiming for 240 fps at low setting for esports titles

stoic island
#

2060 super

#

Do it

edgy wagon
#

instead of a 2070?

stoic island
#

Yes

edgy wagon
#

but its lower fps for almost the same price

stoic island
#

Okay turns out the good 2070 are back in stock

#

It used to be only ventus at 400$

#

Ventus is bad

#

Difference between 2060s and 2070 is like 5%

#

And when ventus was the only 2070 card at 400$, better to have non-throttling 2060s

edgy wagon
#

i see

languid mauve
#

How good is the regular 2060?

#

For 305 usd

edgy wagon
#

decent

languid mauve
#

My budget is 320

#

I don’t wanna wait 6 months for the 3060

edgy wagon
#

for just the card?

languid mauve
#

305 for the card

#

Yeah

#

The rest of my build is 400

#

Ryzen 5 3600

#

16 gigs ddr4

edgy wagon
#

2060 + r5 3600 is good

languid mauve
#

Yeah I heard so

edgy wagon
#

what games?

languid mauve
#

Warzone

#

R6

edgy wagon
#

144 hz?

languid mauve
#

2077

#

1080p

#

Yeah

#

Low settings

edgy wagon
#

you should hit that

#

thats also a decent price

languid mauve
#

Yeah

#

B550

#

I also got a deal for a Razer Cynosa and Razer mouse for 20

edgy wagon
#

nice!

languid mauve
#

I think it might be sorta scuffed for the price

#

But idk

#

20 is too good

edgy wagon
#

if it works and is clean

hollow bridge
#

What is a good monitor for a 1660 super

edgy wagon
#

what games?

hollow bridge
#

like

#

GTAV

#

Fortnite

#

Valorant

#

League

edgy wagon
#

just match your average fps to the monitors refresh rate

hollow bridge
#

How do I do that

#

How do I determine my avg god

#

Fps

edgy wagon
#

go into setting and turn on show fps

#

then lower your fps cap until it stays at a solid number

hollow bridge
#

Ok

edgy wagon
#

so if you have 160 fps in fortnite on low settings get a 144hz ips monitor

hollow bridge
#

Is it possible to determine the fps

#

B4 I get the monitor

languid mauve
#

The 1660 gets 160 in fortnite?

edgy wagon
#

my 580 gets 200+

languid mauve
#

That’s really weird

edgy wagon
#

but thats on low low

#

all low 100

languid mauve
#

I’d think like 250

edgy wagon
#

yeah

#

i was lowballing

#

its not worth it for a 240 hz

hollow bridge
#

Ok

#

So I get a 144hz

edgy wagon
#

yes

languid mauve
#

It’s possible to do good on a 60hz

#

But you have to get used to it

#

I’d get the 144hz

edgy wagon
#

i played on a tv for years

languid mauve
#

I notice a big difference when I play on 144hz

#

I prefer tv

edgy wagon
#

now i could never go back... i got 240hz and its nice but not a huge dif

languid mauve
#

But for competitive games I’d use a monitor

edgy wagon
#

from 144

#

i need to upgrade my card a bit for some of my games

languid mauve
#

60 to 144 is huge

#

144 to 240hz is big

edgy wagon
#

240-144 is small but there

languid mauve
#

But not crazy

edgy wagon
#

i had never used anything past 60 so my first time on 240 was trippy

languid mauve
#

I hope to get the giveaway

#

I know it’s a long shot but whatevs

hollow bridge
#

How much is a 144hz

languid mauve
#

I log onto playr.gg everyday and enter giveaways

#

Haven’t won

hollow bridge
#

on avg

edgy wagon
#

140 maybe

#

180

languid mauve
#

@hollow bridge 27” 144hz is the sweet spot

#

It’ll do you good

edgy wagon
#

look up on youtube "best 144hz monitor 1080p"

languid mauve
#

27” 144hz will get you good preformance without breaking the bank

#

You might find one used for cheap

#

But new isn’t expensive

edgy wagon
#

personally for competative i prefer 24" 144

languid mauve
#

You do you

edgy wagon
#

27 feels big to me

languid mauve
#

I’m used to playing on a 65” tv

#

It feels natural

edgy wagon
#

same

#

although i was rlly far away

languid mauve
#

It feels like the targwts are bigger

#

Because it’s a bigger picture

#

I do admit you’ll play better on a small tv

edgy wagon
#

i mean i played on a 12 in mac for 6-7 years and on an xbox 1 on a 68in

hollow bridge
languid mauve
#

Yeah

#

Probably

edgy wagon
#

yeah

hollow bridge
#

I see

languid mauve
#

Don’t put the pc on carpet

edgy wagon
#

going from a 12" mac to a 240hz 24" felt so dif

hollow bridge
#

yea ik

#

My current “computer” is

#

Such amazing specs 😢

languid mauve
#

static will f u up

#

Also dust

edgy wagon
#

mine was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse

hollow bridge
#

And it’s only been through 300 battery cycles

languid mauve
#

We all start somewhere

edgy wagon
#

2003 mac

languid mauve
#

I’ve been using a hp laptop

#

300 dollars

edgy wagon
#

2013 not 2003

hollow bridge
#

how do I counter stactic

languid mauve
#

Ran CSGO at 30 fps

I think my carpet is anti stactic

languid mauve

Ground yourself

edgy wagon
#

I regret buying a macbook pro a couple years ago

languid mauve
#

My brother has one

hollow bridge
#

I have an air

languid mauve
#

Mac is the KING of work

hollow bridge
#

😢

#

it is

languid mauve
#

But it’s trash for gaming

hollow bridge
#

I agree

languid mauve
#

For school? Mac all day.

edgy wagon
#

1500 for 60 fps in minecraft and 12-20 for low fortnite

hollow bridge
#

I could only play league of legends

languid mauve
#

When im home though, give me my pc.

#

I’d run Linux

edgy wagon
#

...

languid mauve
#

But R6 doesn’t support it

edgy wagon
#

i have run linux... hate the interface

hollow bridge
#

I have Mac OS

languid mauve
#

Windows 10 is slow

edgy wagon
#

tru

#

get a 20k ssd

#

then it wont be slow

languid mauve
#

Lmao

edgy wagon
#

what are your specs jack?

languid mauve
#

I actually don’t have a pc

#

I’ve used friends and such

edgy wagon
#

ah

languid mauve
#

Also a laptop

edgy wagon
#

i see

languid mauve
#

The 2060 is gonna be my first build

edgy wagon
#

cool!

languid mauve
#

Quite spoiled first build

edgy wagon
#

i started my build with quarentine

#

with a athelon cpu and no gpu

#

8gbs of ram

#

and no case fans

hollow bridge
#

My first build is decent

#

850-900$

edgy wagon
#

nice

languid mauve
#

Yeah mine is 700

#

Would be 1000

#

But Best Buy does price match

#

And a bit of deal hunting

#

On newegg and amazon

edgy wagon
#

my entire setup is around 1.1k

#

including periferals and monitor

languid mauve
#

Expensive

outer heart
#

i’m at 1k with everything

languid mauve
#

My peripherals are gonna be expensive

edgy wagon
#

pc is at 700 monitor is around 350 and other stuff is maybe 200

languid mauve
#

I had to sell my switch for my gpu

edgy wagon
#

i sold a drone and a gopro

languid mauve
#

F

#

The Ultimate Price

edgy wagon
#

i didnt use them so no point in holding on

#

dji phantom 3 and a gopro hero 5

languid mauve
#

Sounds cool

#

I’d sell my xbox

#

But i’d get like 100 for it

edgy wagon
#

yeah

languid mauve
#

Might aswell just keep it

edgy wagon
#

i got lucky and sold mine for 250 a year or two ago

languid mauve
#

Nice

#

I had an old laptop I wanted to sell

#

But I couldn’t find it

edgy wagon
#

oof

#

im out of things to sell now .-.

languid mauve
#

It would’ve gone for 130

#

Which is eh

#

But i don’t use it unlike my xbox

edgy wagon
#

money is money

languid mauve
#

I made a fiverr lmao

edgy wagon
#

lol

languid mauve
#

If anyone wants a logo hmu

#

Quick plug

outer heart
#

haha

edgy wagon
#

hopefully i will have worked enough to afford a 3060 or 70 when they come out

#

got a long time til then though

languid mauve
#

Yeah

#

70 should drop in sep

#

60 in january

edgy wagon
#

ye

languid mauve
#

I don’t need cutting edge though

edgy wagon
#

i just want a future proof gpu and i can wait a while rn

#

580 is weak but runs well enough as a filler

languid mauve
#

Smart

#

Im excited for 2077

#

I didn’t like Witcher 3

edgy wagon
#

it looks like a well made game

languid mauve
#

sue me

edgy wagon
#

hasnt played a new game since subnautica came out

languid mauve
#

Only rpg I’ve had more than 30 hours is Oblivion

edgy wagon
#

i actually think the last game i bought was terraria and before that was subnautica when it was in beta

languid mauve
#

I had 26 in skyrim

#

Is terraria an rpg?

#

I have like 20 in it

edgy wagon
#

its 2d minecraft

#

with more bosses

languid mauve
#

I have 100 days in minecraft

#

Real time

edgy wagon
#

i have over 6000 hours of minecraft

#

.-.

languid mauve
#

I’m very objective based

#

I’ll beat a game, and move on.

edgy wagon
#

hypixel skyblock ate my entire summer last year

languid mauve
#

Lol

edgy wagon
#

im still rich in the grand scheme

languid mauve
#

I’m on bedrock

edgy wagon
#

ah

#

bedrock has some cool features

languid mauve
#

My game lineup consists of MW, R6, Rocket League, Brawlhalla, and Minecraft

#

Those are pretty much the only games I’ve played this year

#

And terraria

edgy wagon
#

valorant, terraria, fortnite, minecraft

languid mauve
#

But that’s like 1 world

#

I used to like Fortnite

#

It just got boring

#

Idk why

edgy wagon
#

i only play creative with friends

#

main game is painful now

languid mauve
#

Yeah

edgy wagon
#

its the only crossplatform game we have

languid mauve
#

I like Warzone cause I can customize my guns and such

#

But fortnite has nothing like that

edgy wagon
#

so we take we have and enjoy creative

#

yeah

languid mauve
#

It’s boring just landing in, getting the same basic loadout of ar, smg, shotgun.

#

Not finding anyone 50% of the game

edgy wagon
#

thats why i dont play the main game

languid mauve
#

I play it every now and then

edgy wagon
#

after you land, there are 15-20 ppl left

languid mauve
#

They need to add 200 players

edgy wagon
#

everyone dies at the start

languid mauve
#

And take away bots

edgy wagon
#

true

languid mauve
#

I think that’d make it better

edgy wagon
#

but then they would never have full games

languid mauve
#

Totally would

silk estuary
#

This doesn't sound like computer builds to me

edgy wagon
#

run

languid mauve
#

-.-

edgy wagon
#

they found us

silk estuary
languid mauve
#

uhh

#

okay

edgy wagon
#

i believe i will buy a 3070

languid mauve
#

Yes

silk estuary
#

Dope

languid mauve
#

I feel like they need to add more people into 3070

#

They made the 3070 too big

edgy wagon
#

there ya go celty back to build talk

silk estuary
#

I might try for the 2080ti when they release the 3080ti

edgy wagon
#

dulehan

languid mauve
#

They still haven’t added cars in 3070

silk estuary
#

*Dulluhan

edgy wagon
#

i forgot the name of that anime

silk estuary
#

Those

edgy wagon
#

it was well made though

silk estuary
#

Have nothing to do with computer parts

edgy wagon
#

okokok

languid mauve
#

ok

edgy wagon
#

3600 or 3600xt

languid mauve
#

3600

#

It’s cheaper

edgy wagon
#

yerp and almost the same

languid mauve
#

And the XT is marginally better

edgy wagon
#

true

languid mauve
#

My friend has the 1070 and the ryzen 7 2700

#

He gets good fps

#

He has like 3 laptops he doesn’t use

#

Like legit gaming laptops

edgy wagon
#

lol

languid mauve
#

They run fn at 250fps

#

He could use the components from them for his pc

edgy wagon
#

my friend ran a athelon with a 2060 for 2 year without upgrading since he didnt know he was bottlenecked

languid mauve
#

Lol

edgy wagon
#

was confused why his gpu was at 12% usage

languid mauve
#

I use an IBM Vacuum Tube

edgy wagon
#

high tehc

languid mauve
#

With a rtx 10080 TI

edgy wagon
#

gt 0.80 ti

#

less than 1/2 a frame

#

per hour

#

alright im gonna go gg for getting regular jack cya 😄

white osprey
#

to get my mobo drivers

#

do i search up the name of my mobo then drivers after it

languid mauve
#

What mobo is it?

white osprey
#

b550m ds3h

languid mauve
#

Nice

#

What CPU?

#

I would suggest you go to the manufacturers official site

#

And install the drivers

#

Like there

#

Or amd or asus or whatever

white osprey
#

ryzen 5 3600

#

anyways i ran into another pbolem

#

my hdd is not recognized

#

i just installed windows on my m.2 ssd

#

it gave me the option to install onto either of them

#

so i dont think its plugged in wrong

languid mauve
#

I suggest you check out a vid

desert gulch
#

@white osprey is the HDD formatted?

white osprey
#

idk what that means

desert gulch
#

One sec

#

Try that

languid mauve
#

Is it the same for an ssd

desert gulch
#

Idk

white osprey
#

i can see my ssd

#

thats where i dl stuff rn

languid mauve
#

hmm

desert gulch
#

Does your HDD show up in bios?

#

If it does, follow the vid

white osprey
#

idk

#

its plugged in correctly though

desert gulch
#

Ok

white osprey
#

ill assume it does

desert gulch
#

Did the vid work?

white osprey
#

doing it r

#

n

fast dust
desert gulch
#

Yams why do you keep changing your name?

fast dust
#

Cause I want to

#

I think I’m gonna make it so that every time I build a Pc I’ll put its specs in my name

desert gulch
#

Good idea

fast dust
#

Yeah that’s what I’m doing now

desert gulch
#

@white osprey so you have power going to it via a cable from the PSU and you have a sata cable going from it to Mobo? Just checking

white osprey
#

it worked

#

ty

desert gulch
#

Np

white osprey
#

how many gb does windows 10 take

#

rn its not taking up much

#

but does it eventually ramp up?

desert gulch
#

It's small

white osprey
#

ok

desert gulch
#

Mine hasnt

white osprey
#

this thing keeps flashing at the top of my pc

#

The white

spiral zealot
#

looks like hdd activity light

white osprey
#

that a bad thing ?:

analog hearth
#

it's just the hard drive light lol

#

letting you know the hard drive is active

white osprey
#

so it will always do this?

analog hearth
#

yes

#

nothing bad

#

probably the least dangerous thing inside of any computer

spiral zealot
#

you can disconnect the LED if it really bothers you

stoic island
#

You could cover it with tape if you want

polar goblet
#

Hello!
Possible build $750-$1000 budget for gaming / streaming. Thanks!

#

Little nephew wants a new pc

opal stratus
#

Yo is my psu supposed to be mounted like this?

#

That’s the side of the case

analog hearth
#

no. there's just vents there for no reason

#

that's sarcasm

spiral zealot
#

the vents are there to filter the air that comes into the PSU, before it exhausts out the back of the case

opal stratus
#

So it’s fine right

wary geode
#

Yes no worries @opal stratus

opal stratus
#

Ok cool

little leaf
#

No

lime forge
#

if the heat sync was from your motherboard, the "sticker" is protective film covering the pad

#

so yes

little leaf
#

But warranty

lime forge
#

i mean, ssds dont really get hot

#

so

#

if you dont want to

#

you dont have to

#

i doubt it will be an issue

cursive wharf
#

the "sticker" is a heatpad

lime forge
#

^

opal stratus
#

Alright thanks

#

When I try to install it tho I can’t screw it in cuz heatsink

cursive wharf
#

and tbh, NVMes shouldnt really need them

#

that heatsink is cooling the NAND which isnt ideal

lime forge
#

yup

cursive wharf
#

NAND is best at 40c or so, not 28c with that heatsink or smth

#

the controller is what you want to cool well

opal stratus
#

Screw doesn’t go all the way down

#

I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong

wary geode
#

I help

#

What motherboard

opal stratus
#

Aorus b550i

agile bear
#

is the ssd all the way in?

opal stratus
#

Yeah

agile bear
#

it might be interfering with the standoff

opal stratus
#

Yeah I need to remove it but I can’t

wary geode
#

Oh lol I had rhis issue

#

Did you lost it correctly

#

It may be your using the wrong screw

#

That was the issue with mine

opal stratus
#

Did I what it correctly?

wary geode
#

Screw*

#

Are you using the right screw

#

Or did you put it in correctly it should almost slot in and tilt it down

#

@opal stratus

opal stratus
#

I’m using the screw that was already in there

#

Also how do I remove the black stand-off one

wary geode
#

That’s suppose to be Th ere

#

I think you put it on wrong because it shouldn’t touch the heatsink until you put it on

opal stratus
#

But when I install the m.2 it’s like slanted slightly

wary geode
#

Your fine can you send a video of you trying to install

opal stratus
#

Ok sure

#

That’s the best I can do lol

#

@wary geode

wary geode
#

Ok cool try and just screw the ssd first

#

Try that first

opal stratus
#

Ok done

#

Then I just put heatsink on without screw?

#

Whatever I got it

wary geode
#

oh i was in shower sry @opal stratus

full atlas
#

Hi, what temps should my 2600x be at under load with stock cooler?

little leaf
#

@opal stratus idk if that ssd is even in lol

#

Looks like your ssd is under the slot

vestal latch
#

how's the b550 @opal stratus ?

#

wdym

#

b550 is the board

#

well not really

#

how's the b550 model working for you?

celest horizon
#

@sturdy leaf try now

sturdy leaf
#

There

#

Is this build good it’s a 1000$ build

stoic island
#

Um

#

Why is Amazon and pcpp just not working now

#

Shows ram as 55$

#

But actually 63$ on Amazon

sturdy leaf
#

Wth

#

I’m new to pc building so u have no clue

stoic island
#

Get a 3600, mobo your choice, change the PSU to smth good, and get a MP34 instead of the 970evo

#

Then with money saved get a better gpu, at least a 2060

sturdy leaf
#

Alr

#

Thanks

fast dust
#

You don't need that many watts. 550 will be a good amount

sturdy leaf
#

Alright

spiral zealot
#

@full atlas you probably want to be mid-high 30's C with stock cooler

sturdy leaf
#

Oh and also do u think this would work with a tomohawk mother board

mossy citrus
#

Get it

sturdy leaf
#

I’m gonna wait

#

I have 4 days

little leaf
#

Dont get that

#

3000 speed

#

And since your a beginner I dont think your occing

#

@sturdy leaf

#

Ryzen needs high speed ram

#

@sturdy leaf are your streaming or just gaming

sturdy leaf
#

Maybe both

spiral zealot
#

it depends on what generation of ryzen you're running

#

3rd gen isn't nearly as reliant on high speed, even though it's still better

#

but the difference between 3000 and 3600 is much greater for zen compared to zen 2

little leaf
#

Still wouldnt get 3000

sturdy leaf
#

So I shouldn’t get it?

little leaf
#

I wouldn’t if it goes over 100

spiral zealot
#

i would still try, if you get a really good deal, you can always flip it

sturdy leaf
#

Alright

spiral zealot
#

but yeah, i wouldn't pay over $100 either

sturdy leaf
#

I’m probaly not gonna go Over 50 if it gets insane

lime forge
night iron
#

Can somebody give me a budget build list? My budget is $2,600 I want my build to be a AMD build with RGB, 4 sticks of ram so I can over clock them, And an excellent airflow case like phanteks. And a excellent power supply like seasonic. And the ability to over clock my CPU. And the ability to upgrade in the future.

little leaf
#

@lime forge whats the goal of the pc?

#

fbecause if gaming not great

lime forge
#

not gaming

little leaf
#

video editing?

night iron
#

Gaming and video editing build.

lime forge
#

web browsing, word processing, video editing, workload stuff

#

not gaming

#

thats why i picked 3700x over 3600

little leaf
#

seems good but way to much on the fans

lime forge
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

they look nice lol.

night iron
#

Yes that to.

lime forge
#

but i agree, price could go down with fans

little leaf
#

There is the 220t 100 and come with 3 120

#

@night iron do you want a custom loop?

opal stratus
#

Yo can someone help me w/my case cables

#

Not sure where some of them go bc the motherboard is labeled differently

little leaf
#

there is a pwr led

#

pwr btn

#

hdd led

#

reset button

severe bloom
#

#9 in your diagram is where they go

#

should be a page that shows the layout

opal stratus
#

Oh all of them?

severe bloom
#

Yeah

opal stratus
#

Oh cool man thanks

little leaf
#

It also have the names of the pins on the front panel connectors

severe bloom
#

Yeah should be another page that shows what each pin is for

little leaf
#

It should just be on the mobo its self

opal stratus
#

Ik what they’re for but I can’t find where they go

little leaf
#

wat....

opal stratus
#

And the mobo is just labeled like the manual

little leaf
#

if you know what each pin is for lmao just plug it in

opal stratus
#

I don’t know where to plug them in

#

Well I know now that it’s #9 on the manual cuz @severe bloom told me

severe bloom
#

Yeah its on the mobo as well its just harder to read. The manual should show the pin layout as well and not require you to squint

opal stratus
#

I think I did it

#

Wait nope I’m almost done

outer heart
#

do you have an ethernet cable hooked to your rig pengu

opal stratus
#

Nope

#

Why?

outer heart
#

my mobo doesn’t have wifi so i’m not sure what to do

#

no access to ethernet

opal stratus
#

You can get a wireless adapter

outer heart
#

oh?

opal stratus
#

Just plug it into a USB port

#

Buy one on amazon

outer heart
#

that helps a lot

#

ty

opal stratus
#

Np

jagged ember
#

it's performance won't be good though

opal stratus
#

Yo my aio like cable thingys are in the way

jagged ember
#

get a pcie network card instead

opal stratus
#

Help 😦

jagged ember
#

rotate the placement of your radiator, or rotate your cooler placement

#

there isn't much else you can do lol

opal stratus
#

Then I shall rotate until something works

jagged ember
outer heart
#

is this a good one

opal stratus
#

Uhh the pipes kinda bend quite a bit

outer heart
#

?

opal stratus
outer heart
#

oh

opal stratus
#

Is that bad?

outer heart
#

is it a water cooler?

opal stratus
#

Yeah

outer heart
#

i think it’s fine but just a tad slower because it’s curvy

#

like garden hoses

jagged ember
#

hmm

#

it's putting strain on the connections

opal stratus
#

Yeah which concerns me

jagged ember
#

i'd be concerned about a higher failure rate

opal stratus
#

The other option is this

#

I can’t really think of anything else

jagged ember
#

gee whiz, this is why i don't go for AIOs

#

air cooling gang

#

but that aside

stoic island
#

Aircoolinggang

opal stratus
#

I wish I had

stoic island
sturdy leaf
#

Do u guys think I should wait to buy parts until cyber Monday or get them right now

opal stratus
#

Well since I can’t change that what should I do

stoic island
#

Later

#

Later always better

jagged ember
#

wait till the monday

stoic island
#

So unless you need it now

jagged ember
#

it will be worth

stoic island
#

Wait

opal stratus
#

Isn’t cyber Monday like November??

stoic island
#

Mhm

sturdy leaf
#

Yeah lmao

stoic island
#

Even better bc new gen of parts

opal stratus
#

Damn

jagged ember
#

see

stoic island
#

I might grab a monitor or smth during cyber monday

opal stratus
#

So anyways what do I do here

jagged ember
#

uhh

stoic island
#

Do where

opal stratus
#

Aio

jagged ember
#

your radiator is pushing air out of the side of the case?

opal stratus
#

You think it’ll be ok?

#

And no it’s intake

stoic island
#

It should be fine

jagged ember
#

Second one i'd say is better

stoic island
#

Flow rate won't be great but there shouldn't be issues either

opal stratus
#

Alright cool

silk estuary
#

Ima grab a nicer gpu and a 4k t.v. screen on cyber monday

stoic island
#

I want to grab a fi27q or like a vg27aq

#

And a 3070

jagged ember
#

lol i'd like more pc parts but i don't need them

opal stratus
#

I’m gonna get a nice gpu

#

VG27AQ is nice I’ve got it

#

Check out hardware unboxed if ur gonna buy a monitor their stuff is supreme 👌🏼👌🏼

sturdy leaf
outer heart
#

looks good

sturdy leaf
#

Thanks

#

Ima just wait till cyber Monday now

jagged ember
#

check in with that build near cyber monday

#

things will have changed by then, and you might need to redo some parts of it as a result

opal stratus
#

Does cyber Monday usually have good deals on the newer gpus?

cursive wharf
#

mobo overpriced, RAM overpriced, SSD has meh controller, GPU overpriced, and PSU is pretty meh

#

currently am doing other things so cant remake a build rn, but it needs to be redone and see if someone else can do that

opal stratus
#

I can take a look

#

The ram you can get for $65, SSD go with TeamGroup MP34, gpu is $40 too much

#

Mobo should be cheaper but with the way things are there isn’t tons you can do beside shop around, same with psus in general, if you can find a cheap CX650 that’d probably be better

sand falcon
#

Mobo should be cheaper even now

#

3600 you should be looking at 70-120 for the mother board
