building-and-recc-chat

[fast dust]

Nope

[meager pumice]

hmm ok

i might try it

i still have to get a riser cablle

do you have any reccomndations on a good riser cable?

[fast dust]

Not really. Just a cheap one I guess lol

[meager pumice]

ok thanks

[fast dust]

Yep

[silk estuary]

R g b r i s e r c a b l e

[meager pumice]

wait is taht a thing

[fast dust]

I sure hope it is

[meager pumice]

dang

ill look for one

im also trying to put the most rgb in my case as possible

so it would be nice

[jolly tusk]

A friend gave me an EVGA 980 ti was wondering if I could add a 2070 to it for better performance

[fast dust]

Huh

Wdym

Like, add a 2070 in the same build, and SLI them?

[jolly tusk]

I have two slots on my motherboard and seen I could add two gpus but wasn’t sure if they had to be a same kind

[fast dust]

Yeah, that’s not how it works

They have to be the same

[wary geode]

unicorns

whats up i need help yams

[fast dust]

Sure

[jolly tusk]

Then I’ll just replace the 980 ti with the 2070

[wary geode]

so i ordered 3.1 gen type c for the ducky one 2 mini to fix and it should be fie right it has a type c but is there like just a gen 3

[fast dust]

But also @jolly tusk, using dual GPUs isn’t that good for gaming at all. Yeah. Replacing the 980 Ti with a 207p is a good option.

[wary geode]

or 3.1 is the norm

nope 2 is bad

lol watch linus scrayyard wars video

OH YEAH YAMS

[fast dust]

I mean, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be fine, but, idk much about keyboard and soldering and all that stuff

[wary geode]

WANNA DO A CHALLENGE

[fast dust]

WHAT

[wary geode]

yeah its fine

[fast dust]

WHAT CHALLENGE

[wary geode]

SCRAYYARD WARS

[jolly tusk]

I’ll work on it now

[wary geode]

each 350 and who can make the best

[fast dust]

Hm. I’d be down, but I don’t have any money rn lol

[wary geode]

we can do a little yt vid for it

yeah i got paid today but bstock finna take my money

[fast dust]

I’d need to sell another PC or two

[wary geode]

ill leave 350 for when your ready

[lyric thistle]

This is how Yams works

[fast dust]

Oh yeah B stock is tomorrow. I’m hyped

[wary geode]

i have 4 pcs in production now

[lyric thistle]

(ツ)_/¯

[fast dust]

I have 2

[wary geode]

330-400 each nerds

yeah ;p;

nice yams went from 1 to 2

stonks

[fast dust]

Yeah, well, more like 1 and a half

[wary geode]

yeah i have like 2k in savings and 2.4 in bank account rn lol

i started my journey with 150

[fast dust]

You put PCs together too fast

[wary geode]

XD

[fast dust]

I’m like a PC every two weeks or so lol

[wary geode]

gained 2.7k profit in 3 months

[fast dust]

And you’re like a PC every other day

[wary geode]

yep i do

i got paid a ducky one 2 mini for troubleshootinga kids pc

[fast dust]

But yeah, let me finish and sell this PC, and you’re on

[wary geode]

ok we have to film our journey

[fast dust]

Yep of course

When’s the due date

[wary geode]

all sites in play

[fast dust]

And, can we lower budget to 250 or 300

[wary geode]

hehe i can get another 1600 for free

yep

whatever u liked

[fading acorn]

i need a prebuilt pc that’s 750$ that i can use for everyday work stuff

[wary geode]

lol just kidding i has to be paid

[fast dust]

Alright. 250. That’s a better challenge.

[wary geode]

we will run benchmarks and ingame fps to proive whos the winner

250 wow

bet

im down

[fast dust]

I’ve never done a 250, only 200 and 150, and then 280 and 300. I’m excited. I’ll tell you when I finish and sell this PC parts arrive on Thursday. Hopefully gonna sell quick

[wary geode]

you can start whenever but you must track your journey with vlogs ill edit and compile them and we both post on yt

ok for sure

it starts right awayt

[fast dust]

Oh okay cool. I’ll get to work then

[wary geode]

same

[fast dust]

Also, for future reference, we should probably say this in DMs next time

[wary geode]

yes

we shall prmote to see if people be down later

we will go into dms to get points set up

[foggy hazel]

its fair enough (from my understanding of the rules) to talk about something in that context here

[wary geode]

ok bet lets go

[foggy hazel]

heck, it might inspire others

[wary geode]

dope

yams wanna stick to this or a dead channal

[fast dust]

I know. It’s okay to do, but it just kinda clogs up chat

[wary geode]

i need levels

[foggy hazel]

But, please dont take my word for it, you might want to run it past a mod (if you are in doubt)

[fast dust]

Yeah

[wary geode]

ok i will

@celest horizon is it illegial to talk about a scrapyard wars your gonna do with another tech member

[fast dust]

I don’t wanna get banned from here. I was just banned from a different server from saying a joke that wasn’t bad in any way so I gotta be careful

[foggy hazel]

maybe have one of the OC'ers or builders judge it?

[wary geode]

yeah tru

im down

[fast dust]

Mans just pinged a mod 😳

[wary geode]

demmonit ill try

oops

lol

[foggy hazel]

Demon might be up for it :)

[wary geode]

imma dm him

[foggy hazel]

or yeah, Forks too for that sake too :) see what happens :)

[fast dust]

He’d slaughter us. Please no

[foggy hazel]

as a judge we wont be competing

that is WHY you get him as a judge :)

[fast dust]

Oh, he would judge. Cool

[wary geode]

ok bet yeah hes smort about budget

[foggy hazel]

"oh? you are the best?..... lets just make certain you cannot compete then!"

[wary geode]

id be killed with a 19 9900k and 2080 ti for 249.65$

[fast dust]

Does this include tax or no

[foggy hazel]

you might want to hash out what needs to be documented for both of you to accept the result thou

[fast dust]

Wdym naed

[celest horizon]

it's fine

[foggy hazel]

basically, remove the assumptions.

[celest horizon]

Don't worry about little stuff like that lol

[fast dust]

Always wanna be sure

[wary geode]

tax not included too illegia;

its different for each state wouldnt be so fair

[fast dust]

Alright. Good. This is gonna be fun

[wary geode]

for sure

imma resell more than likely for like 400

if its good

[foggy hazel]

@fast dust what i mean is: lets say you get some parts from a bin in the closet. Is that okay?

[wary geode]

nah

[fast dust]

And, I can start buying parts now. Even though my bank account is scare rn ($370 😳 ). Eeeeee

[foggy hazel]

what about that extra cable that had a kink in it?

etc etc

[fast dust]

Yeah, we should set up rules like that

[foggy hazel]

as i said, try and remove the assumptions

[fast dust]

I say, let’s do it entirely from scratch. Nothing extra. You’re buying sata cables for this lol, not using those spares

[foggy hazel]

it will make it easier for both of you to "understand/grasp" the challenge :)

[wary geode]

ill pull out a 2060 super and 9100f then lol

ok i agree

dang then okay

[foggy hazel]

and with that said, best of luck to you both, i look forward to seeing how this turns out :)

[fast dust]

Also, no prebuilts plus a DGPU. Full scratch

[wary geode]

XD

dang it my plan

[fast dust]

Are we gonna count things that add bling to the final price

[foggy hazel]

ah, one last thing, perhaps go and do a joint google doc or something where you write it all out

[fast dust]

Like are RGB case fans gonna impact price since they’re unneeded

[wary geode]

ok i agree

yams im good lets go

[fast dust]

Yeah, I’ll make google doc rn and DM it to you Prism, and I guess who ever else wants it

[foggy hazel]

would be a shame to have the rules get "lost" here (if it turns out that it was a roaring success)

[wary geode]

we will go through points when we figure out judges

itll be a group dm

wanna be a judge naed

[foggy hazel]

maybe just keep it to you two right now, that makes it easier to figure out the framework for things

you can always add in people later for feedback etc

i am going to pass on the judge part @wary geode, i am here too randomly

[wary geode]

ok lol np

ok we will figure it out

[little osprey]

can someone help me find a case? Im trying to find a case that can support 6 3.5inch drives and has good airflow

[wary geode]

hm

not sure

ask @fast dust im playing rn

[fast dust]

huh

oh

lemme see

look through here @little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#J=6,20

[little osprey]

yeah I know but I was seeing if anyone knew of good ones

it'd be cool to have max fans option lol

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NW42KN9?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

jesus

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/define-7-xl/black/

that solves it for you

and a number of other fractal cases also solve it for you

[little osprey]

ah how many fans

[foggy hazel]

click the link and find out :)

[little osprey]

tho it looks like airflow will be bad

since it only comes in the sides

```Mount up to 18 HDD/SSDs plus five SSDs in the Storage Layout (6 HDD/SSD trays + 2 SSD brackets + 2 Multibrackets included) ````

[foggy hazel]

air flow will be just fine

[little osprey]

Outstanding cooling capacity with a total of 9 x 140 mm or 11 x 120 mm fan mounts and three preinstalled Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans

neat

[spiral zealot]

the define cases have a ton of airflow even if the vents don't look like they would

i built in an R5 and it was really nice

[foggy hazel]

IF you are worried about airflow (you really shouldnt be), just use the upper illustrated mounts

as an example, i have run 6 drive setups in the node304

https://www.fractal-design.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/NODE-304-BL_8.jpg

which is that one

with that said, i am out for the night

[cold hearth]

is this good https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rWJwx6

[stoic island]

no

[little leaf]

@cold hearth if you are gaming no

in many ways now

no

[cold hearth]

ok

[stoic island]

I'd change Ram, SSD, Case, mobo, and prob the GPU too

[little leaf]

@cold hearth are u gaming?

[cold hearth]

yes

[little leaf]

ok let me fix

[stoic island]

Here's something slightly better for gaming but 200$ cheaper @cold hearth
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KMXfq3

[little leaf]

Just go witha 2070s if you want more gpu perf

or a 5700xt if no streaming

and don't care for ray tracing

[stoic island]

slap a 2070 super into my list if you still have a 1200$ budget

[little leaf]

and want a cheaper buuld

I don't like the td 500

though

[stoic island]

Why

it's so good

what's not to like

[little leaf]

I don't like the look

I know its a good case

just not the look for me

[stoic island]

I don't really care that much about looks

[little leaf]

I do

[stoic island]

it's got 3 argb fans at 100$

that's about as good value as you're gonna get

[cold hearth]

lol

[stoic island]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[little leaf]

@stoic island I like the 220t and p4000a digital

[stoic island]

P400a sucks now imo

220t air looks bad

[cold hearth]

why is the cpu i was using b4 bad

[little leaf]

wdym?

[cold hearth]

sorry for my english

[stoic island]

P400a doesn't fit good air coolers

[little leaf]

Not worth it for gaming

[stoic island]

therefore it must die

[little leaf]

lmao

[cold hearth]

how come

[little leaf]

You don't need 8 cores for gaming

[stoic island]

3700x and 3600 has same gaming performance

[little leaf]

^

[cold hearth]

i seeeee

[stoic island]

3700x has better performance for other tasks

[cold hearth]

okie

all this is b4 tax right

[stoic island]

(Unless you call like blender a game)

yea

[little leaf]

lmao

GET READY TO blender

[cold hearth]

what if i do heavy powerpoint

presentations

and zoom calls

[little leaf]

No lmao

[cold hearth]

k

[little leaf]

we mean video editing

rendering

[cold hearth]

ah

dont know anything about that

[little leaf]

even if you did the 3600 would do an ok job

[cold hearth]

Raedon 5600 vs 2060 RTX

which one is better for its price

[fast dust]

2060 for streaming, 5600 XT for straight up gaming

[little leaf]

depends what ur doing

[cold hearth]

i see

[stoic island]

@fast dust afaik they're same performance, varies a lil depending on game

[fast dust]

hm, iirc 5600 XT was a little better, but maybe that's against the 1660 TI that im thinking of

[cold hearth]

hmm

What is the point of liquid cooling

[fast dust]

Looks, and sometimes better cooling than air

Really, imo, it's only worth it if you're doing heavy overclocking or want the looks of an AIO really bad

[cold hearth]

i see

What is the best build I can get for around 1000$

[viral pivot]

🙂 gonna be building my first ever pc build soon very excited

[cold hearth]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Causmics/saved/#view=VVkd99 any suggestions to this build or changes?

^ @little osprey build

[weak arrow]

i need a mic and headphones for 130usd

[little osprey]

Do you want that 360 surround sound for your headset 4 da ImMeRsIoN

[little leaf]

@cold hearth what the fuc

what happened to the list me and mr111 made?

And that list is bad

[silk estuary]

Check this out on @Newegg: WD Red Pro WD4003FFBX 4TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM https://www.newegg.com/red-pro-wd4003ffbx-4tb/p/N82E16822234345?Item=N82E16822234345&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-22-234-345-_-08112020

Would this work in a regular pc

Or do i need a bay for it

[digital ingot]

hey everyone, having some serious issues with super super high desktop window manager GPU usage. its using like 60%+ of my GPU. cuasing my stream to lag very heavily
been playing on the same setting for 2 weeks no difference. randomly today horrible issues. i have a rtx 2080 super and an i9.

[little osprey]

Have you messed with your gpu clocking? @digital ingot

[digital ingot]

nope

[little osprey]

Hmm 🤨

What does task manager say thats using your gpu

Like anything else than the game?

[digital ingot]

im streaming warzone

desktop window manager 40-60% and streamlabs 40-60%

they both battle for the crown

[austere ivy]

Prepare to answer the stupidest question: is there any sense in getting an aftermarket cooler rather than using stock with the 3700x if I don’t plan on overclocking?

[deep skiff]

if youre fine with it then there isnt a reason

[sand falcon]

The main complaint I have about it is that it's noisy

[round river]

do I need the commander pro or lightning node pro to control rgb on my LL120?

[little leaf]

using icue yes

[little osprey]

@austere ivy No. The cooler is solid. Unless you find it noisy as BobLaserShark said.
p.s. not a stupid question at all.

[spare hull]

Does a ryzen 5 3600 work good with a rtx 2060 on a msi b450 tomahawk pro max board

[drifting timber]

ya

[cold hearth]

@little leaf that wasn't my build someone asked me to post it for him since he couldn't post till lvl 3

[unkempt bone]

What thermal paste do y'all recommend?

[rustic sandal]

Toothpaste

[little osprey]

I'm trying to use Gamefirst V, bit it saying I don't have a rog mobo

[cold hearth]

lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4zTmb8 anything i should change about this

[little osprey]

Not that I can see, there are better SSDs but, idk your price limit

@cold hearth

[cold hearth]

i see

1k

around

[little osprey]

You could get a 1tb nvme add for about $120 I believe

Last I saw it was around $114

[cold hearth]

nvme?

[little osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFZY2F2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WH.mFbDZXDH44

These type drives

But rn the one I recommend is a bit pricey rn

If you want an ssd, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/h3tQzy/crucial-mx500-1tb-25-solid-state-drive-ct1000mx500ssd1
Here's a good one in my opinion

[cold hearth]

i see

[little osprey]

@cold hearth Rookies can post in build-pics.

[cold hearth]

like links

[little osprey]

He's looking for a build, not already built one

But the nvme I was going to recommend is $144

I'm running the Samsung I posted

[cold hearth]

would it be better to go no hard drive

but just ssd

[little osprey]

Truthfully yes, but if you want/need the storage you can get both

[cold hearth]

ok

[little osprey]

NVME's are surprisingly cheap nowadays.

[cold hearth]

so ill just get 1TB hard drive

[little osprey]

I use my nvme for windows and my high end games

[cold hearth]

so i should get a NVME right?

[little osprey]

It's faster and decreases the load times(especially boot times)

But like I said I bit priecy

*pricey

[cold hearth]

ok

[little osprey]

You can get the Samsung HDD, and just replace the vulcan with the crucial mx500

Sata SSDs aren't as fast as nvme, but they are considerably faster than HDDs, and the mx500 is better than the vulcan

I'm running full ssd only because I ordered before the pandemic.

Another hint, wait till after the 3000 series releases so that your GPUs price tanks

[cold hearth]

@little osprey I doubt the GPU prices will tank

Ok

[cold hearth]

Is this good https://merc.li/vjmUwKW2b

For 500$

[little osprey]

@cold hearth I do not recommend used parts or computers

[cursive wharf]

@little osprey why not? There's buyers protection and if you know how to check PC hardware it's quite hard to get scammed. If it has worked for the seller for so long then it'll probs last a long time as you're past the initial failure rate issue's

[little osprey]

🤷‍♂️, it's just a recommendation. I'm not a huge fan of used stuff

[cold hearth]

I see

[cursive wharf]

If you're not use to environment it can be sketchy. If you know how to go about it it'll be fairly fine

[cold hearth]

So I shouldn’t get it?

Can I build a similar one for 500$

[little osprey]

Similar for same price probably not

[cursive wharf]

If going used I think you can get cheaper

Mostly used GPU

[little osprey]

Yeah

I got an 8gb 970 Gigabyte GPU for less than $200

And that was new

[cursive wharf]

PC is a good deal. Very hard to get that below the 500 point without putting in a lot of time and effort with good deal hunting. Tho it is possible and with the deals I've seen before I could get a list for a bit cheaper. But eh, probs just get that PC

[little osprey]

Especially with things going OOS daily

If you need one asap, you could get the mercari one, or you could wait

[fast dust]

@cold hearth I do not recommend used parts or computers
I take so much offense to that lmao

[cold hearth]

Lol

[deep skiff]

used parts are like the best invention ever wdym

[cold hearth]

What does OOS mean

[deep skiff]

out of stock

[cold hearth]

I see

[stoic island]

@cursive wharf how good is buyers protection on mercari?

[fast dust]

I’ve never had to use it but I trust it

[cursive wharf]

is Mercari US only? If so Ill never end up checking it

[stoic island]

Like how long is the return window, how long does the seller have to accept a refund, do they step in if the seller refuses refund

[silk estuary]

I ordered a 4tb hdd from wegg

I hope it's good, lol

[little leaf]

How much?

[cold hearth]

What’s a good build for 500$

It’s for my friend

[little leaf]

What happened to that prebuilt

It wad a good deal

[cold hearth]

It was?

[fast dust]

Like how long is the return window, how long does the seller have to accept a refund, do they step in if the seller refuses refund
Once you get the item, you have 3 days to inspect it and rate the seller. after you rate, there's no returns

[cold hearth]

I thought I shouldn’t buy it lol

[fast dust]

So, a little sketchy

@stoic island

[stoic island]

So if you rate it a scam what happens @fast dust

[fast dust]

that's ur bad

lol

[stoic island]

No I mean during the rating you found it defective

What happens if you called it a scam during the rating process

And asked for refund

[fast dust]

Then yuo can send it back

[stoic island]

And then

[cold hearth]

U get money back?

[stoic island]

If they decline to refund the money?

What happens

[cold hearth]

don’t think they can

just dispute

Say product was defective

[stoic island]

With eBay, eBay will pay you if the seller refuses to pay back

[cold hearth]

And u get to keep the item?

[stoic island]

If the seller just dissapears what do you do

[cold hearth]

Idk if they hold the funds

[stoic island]

Ye I'm asking if mercari pays you if the seller dissapears

[viral ore]

mercari is backed by paypal

so maybe

[stoic island]

Ye that's what I'm concerned about

I'd like to know

I trust eBay because even if I get scammed I can get my money back

Ofc you can try to charge back mercari but I don't think they'll like that

[cold hearth]

Yea so idk

[little leaf]

@stoic island use credit card

I mean a 3600 and a rx 580 with an ssd and hdd for 500 is a good deal

[sacred dune]

what would be the best cpu for a 500 dollar build

[viral ore]

change your name plz

they gonna ban you if you dont lol

but, a cheap used intel chip would do

or a 3100

if you can find one cheap

[stoic island]

@sacred dune try going optiplex + GPU + SSD at those price ranges

[sacred dune]

ok thank you

[cold hearth]

@sacred dune change ur name lol if u wanna stay in here for long

[fast dust]

for $500 you can get 1650 super and ryzen 3200g system

[sacred dune]

yeah i was thinking of going 3200g

[cold hearth]

If I get a duo monitor set up

Should I get one 144hz and a 60-75hz one?

[viral ore]

yes

[terse condor]

Looking to get an aio for my gpu. Anyone know if i can use just any aio? I know i need a bracket

what's the budget

[tepid plover]

for me?

[stoic island]

ye

[tepid plover]

around $1250

[stoic island]

brb lemme make you a list

for gaming right

[tepid plover]

yea

and preferably all black

[stoic island]

Do you want to stream or no

[tepid plover]

no

[stoic island]

Something like this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TFTZhg

[tepid plover]

cool

[keen moss]

do a 3600x

[tepid plover]

for the processor

[keen moss]

you’ll get a little closer to the budget but you could get better performance

yeah

[stoic island]

no

why a 3600x

[keen moss]

it’s better and he can afford it

[stoic island]

it's 200mhz boost clock

I don't think the difference is worth it

it's not guaranteed better silicon

[keen moss]

it’s still better performance overall

[stoic island]

It's spending 25$ more for some numbers on paper

[keen moss]

it’s just a higher end processor

[stoic island]

on paper it is better performance

it isn't completely better

it's just slightly better binned

little difference

[keen moss]

you forgot fans tho

[stoic island]

I paid more for a 3800x which is slightly higher binned than 3700x, and I am dissatisfied with the little difference, so I'm warning others now

[keen moss]

so don’t get a 3600x you’ll need a little more money

[stoic island]

cool if you want to spend 25$ more and get a wraith spire instead of a stealth that's your choice

it's not like 3600x gets a prism

[keen moss]

yeah

it’s should

it’d completely change the conversation we just had

“it’s not that much better, but it DOES have a prism rgb cooler”

[stoic island]

but for now, the conclusion is no 3600x unless you like the lottery

[terse condor]

Hey ive been playing around with the fans on my aio and it seems my cpu and gpu both have a better average temp if i mount 1 of the 2 120 fans as exhaust and the other as intake on my raditor

Anyone know why this is

Semms realy unorthadox lol

[spiral zealot]

probably means you're lacking a little airflow through the rest of the system if i had to guess

what is the rest of the fan config?

[slender scroll]

anyone know where to find a good 2080 ti new in stock right now?

[desert gulch]

Would be better to wait for 3080ti

If your going to spend that kind of money, just wait

[tranquil dust]

Hello! I am selling my current pc for about $590 to my friend and I wanted to build a better pc for myself. I am having a lot of trouble with pcpartpicker and wanted to know if you all had some suggestions for a Ryzen build with a NZXT case. I was thinking a Ryzen 5 3600 but i didn't know if this was overkill. I currently have an i3-8100 with a gtx 1060 6gb sc. I would really like the new ray tracing thing. I am willing to spend $1100 including the funds I would get from the pc I am selling. Thanks!

this sounds like the emails you get in PC building simulator lmao.
i am going offline so please ping me if someone makes a part list. Thanks in advance!

[stoic island]

why nzxt

3600 isn't overkill :P

[tranquil dust]

i like the simplicity

[stoic island]

:(

[tranquil dust]

yea i was thinking that

[stoic island]

I don't like the lack-of-airflow

[tranquil dust]

my current pc has 5 fans crammed into a fractal design focus g...

[stoic island]

me too

lmfao

[tranquil dust]

with 3 hard drives

[stoic island]

I have 6 fans in here you can't say anything

[tranquil dust]

lmao

[stoic island]

I removed bottom drive cage for a fan

[tranquil dust]

well including psu, cpu, gpu fans i have 8

sorry 9

[stoic island]

Including PSU, CPU, GPU I have 12 fans

[tranquil dust]

i replace the thermal paste every year :p

[stoic island]

I need to repaste

[tranquil dust]

including my graphics card but that warranty is long gone

[spiral zealot]

i only have 5 fans in my system, but it works well enough for me

2 on the AIO and 3 case fans

[stoic island]

I'm pretty sure I can slap on an aftermarket cooler without voiding warranty

according to this at least

[slender scroll]

3080 ti is def stalling me from just buying the GIGABYTE card, I wanted a new 2080 ti founders edition but cant find one not being rediculously marked up

I want to order the parts to build 2 and buy some acessories. 8k in total but neweggs outta stock on sooooo much that I want

currently using a 1050ti strix and its starting to bow lol

[clever pike]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9VcgV7

[sand falcon]

I so envy that 3300x

[spiral zealot]

Don't remember who was asking about rgb ring fans, but these are the Cougar ones as they sit in my case right now, excuse the glare from my RAM lol

was a convo that was in build-pics, but got nuked due to chatter lol

[sand falcon]

@clever pike You know that that is a sata SSD, right?

[drifting timber]

@sand falcon it says m.2 on the site

[sand falcon]

@drifting timber It's a sata, it's just in the m.2 form factor

[drifting timber]

ohh

how you know that

[sterile silo]

i need help troubleshooting an issue

[sand falcon]

how you know that
@drifting timber The connector is a different shape for the sata drives

[stoic island]

There are M.2 drives with M keys and B+M keys

[drifting timber]

ahh

ok so its m.2 with sata 3 speeds?

[viral ore]

its just sata 3

[sand falcon]

It is a sata 3 drive

[deep skiff]

m.2 is a form factor like 2.5" drives

it just means it looks like a stick

[serene spire]

How do you share PC builds from PCPartPicker

[deep skiff]

at the top of the list there should be a link (dont just copy the url) and copy paste it

[serene spire]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JY2jmg

Ight thanks

Is this a good Build for around 1000$ it’s for a friend and he’s new just like me and I would like some feed back. Like better value and stuff like that

[deep skiff]

if you can live without rgb for a little more you can get a better psu+ssd https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZhdMjp

[serene spire]

So other then my psu/ssd this build will get the job done right

[deep skiff]

ye its nice

[spare hull]

Does a ryzen 5 3600 work good with a rtx 2060 on a msi b450 tomahawk pro max board

[desert gulch]

Yes

[drifting timber]

yes

[white gorge]

God can someone please help me. I need a modular psu. 700 or 750 watts. I'm a noob at pc so i don't know which models are good or bad. Preferably cosair

[sand falcon]

Does it need to ne modular @white gorge?

[white gorge]

yes

[sand falcon]

There is a very good non modular one available right now

[white gorge]

I like modular psu

less clutter

[sand falcon]

Eh, just throw it behind the cable tray. What are your system specs?

[white gorge]

Ryzen 7 3700x, rx 5700 xt, ASUS x570

[sand falcon]

I don't think that needs 700W, does it?

[little osprey]

650W should be plenty

[sand falcon]

I was thinking 600 even

[white gorge]

I feel like 650w isn't future proof enough

[little osprey]

well you can run a 2080 ti and a 3950x of a 650w

[white gorge]

im a pc noob

ohh

[sand falcon]

Yeah

[white gorge]

alright. im going to get a 650w

[deep skiff]

Yeah

[sand falcon]

I'll look for 600/650W supplies

[white gorge]

But i do not know which brand/ model to choose. My old power supply died. I am paranoid

[sand falcon]

You in US?

[white gorge]

Yes.

[little osprey]

most psu's are fine as long as it doesnt look sketchy lol

[sand falcon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QDvbt6/be-quiet-pure-power-11-cm-700-w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-bn299
How's this look?

[little osprey]

thats a really good psu

[white gorge]

too bad it isn't modular

[sand falcon]

It is

[little osprey]

its semi modular so its basically modular

[white gorge]

wait

so can you detach all the cables?

[sand falcon]

Semi-modular means that the 24 pin motherboard cable is built in and everything else is modular

Since you're always going to use the 24 pin, it doesn't make a difference for that one

[white gorge]

but i like the asia horse cables

those look nice.

[little osprey]

those are extensions are they not?

[white gorge]

i thought u plug them into the psu

[little osprey]

noooooo

it would fry lol

[white gorge]

im a pc noob

[sand falcon]

You can plug those cables into any PSU

[little osprey]

yeah it just extends the cables to make them look good

[white gorge]

okie

thanks guys

[little osprey]

np its allways good to ask

[stoic tendon]

Trying to install ASRock B450 steel legend into main gear Vybe. I think I have everything right but not sure what to do which final cord from the case which I believe is power related. I appreciate any help. Will send pics in a sec.

Guess I can’t in this channel

[little osprey]

dm me the pics and ill see if i can help

[stoic tendon]

Ty

[little osprey]

Does anyone have the bequiet dark rock pro4 fan ?

[clever pike]

I don't but y?

[little osprey]

I have it, at first I didn’t know how to install it on my Asus TUF mobo

[clever pike]

just find the fan header on the motherboard

and plug the connector into it

here is what they look like

[little osprey]

The brackets dont fit

[clever pike]

mhh

i'm not to sure

wait it's not the rgb ur tryna plug in right?

it's the thing that actually powers the fan?

[little osprey]

The mobo, i took it somewhere, they will put it on, but im still interested how to do it

Its amd4 for the asus and the fan

[clever pike]

yeh don't try to force it on you definitely don't wanna break it

mby try using the pc without it whats are the specs and what case do you have?

brb

[slender owl]

None going to talk about that camera quality though?

[hardy flower]

Fr💀

[slender owl]

Is this good ram? Ping me please

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236538?item=N82E16820236538

[little leaf]

@slender owl its fine

Nothing special just another 3200 cl 16 kit

[safe field]

How many applications can I expect out of 4g of thermal paste?

[still roost]

Dia#9856 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[little osprey]

A lot

[last zenith]

Alot

Bot doesn't like the s word lol

[little osprey]

Though AMD comes with thermal applied

[cursive wharf]

@little leaf CL18 tho, not 16

[little osprey]

If I have a b450, could I run a low tier threadripper?

[foggy bough]

i dont think so

@little osprey

[cursive wharf]

No, all TR chips are very large. To give perspective the AM4 socket can't, or just barely, fit half of the TR chip.

[little osprey]

Hey guys what do you call the part to vertically mount the graphics card

[neon condor]

@little osprey
Vertical Mount Bracket Kit

[little leaf]

@cursive wharf 3600 cl18 pretty much 3200 cl 16

[cursive wharf]

Ye read that wrong. Thought ye said 3600CL16

[little osprey]

@cursive wharf ok thanks

What mobo would you recommend that would fit inside a rosewill challenger s case for a low end threadripper.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600 rn

Just for reference

[cursive wharf]

Well what TR are we talking about? 3960x, 1920x, etc?

[little osprey]

1900x

[cursive wharf]

Do you already have a mobo for it? TR mobos are hecking pricy when doing low end TR

[little osprey]

No

I only have a b450

[cursive wharf]

Do you already have the 1900x? Or thinking of buying it?

[little osprey]

Thinking

Just want to see how much it would cost

[cursive wharf]

Very pricy compared to just getting a 1700x, which is quite close in perf for exception of cache stuff

[little osprey]

1700? The lowest I'm seeing is 1900

[cursive wharf]

As you already have a mobo, could probs get a 3900x for the same price as 1900x+mobo
AM4 R7 1700x

Both are 8c/16t

[little osprey]

Ahhhh

[cursive wharf]

TR platform is generally too expensive to justify the really low end stuff

[little osprey]

Ahhh

Im running a 5 3600, how does the 1900x compare?

[cursive wharf]

Worse single threaded perf, bit better multi threaded perf

Also, 1900x+cheapest x399 is $460, very close to 3900x price

[little osprey]

So a 3900x can run on a b450?

[cursive wharf]

Which will easily beat the 1900x unless you need mem bandwidth or PCIe lanes

Yeah

[little osprey]

I thought you needed a b550 or a 570

[wary geode]

Build me a 250$ Pc

[cursive wharf]

No, don't need it. Usually recommended but isn't needed

[north dagger]

can someone make me a pcpp list? budget is $950

[little osprey]

Ahh ok

[little osprey]

Hello

hi

[serene spire]

@north dagger https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sbcVjp

[potent prairie]

Bad ssd for the price

https://www.newegg.com/team-group-mp34-512gb/p/N82E16820331308

Get that instead

[little osprey]

i dont think you need a 650 watt

550 or less should be good

if you can i think the msi tomahawk would be better

[vital warren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NbGtMc @north dagger

[little osprey]

good and if you want

you can throw in a 1tb hard drive

[vital warren]

yeah i would just throw a 1-2tb hdd in that build whenever you feel you need more space

[little osprey]

yea

it will be under a grand

cause hdd are cheap

[vital warren]

yep

[serene spire]

The price for who asked was 950

When I was posting the one I posted

[little osprey]

https://www.newegg.com/seagate-barracuda-st1000dm010-1tb/p/N82E16822179010

add this

it should be good

[vital warren]

i'd go for the 2tb one as it's only a few bucks more

[little osprey]

yea ur right

if the person has a extra 50

he can do a lot more

with it

[vital warren]

i'm sure they will down the road

they'll be fine for now with a 500gb ssd

[little osprey]

yea

so 958

and then 2tb when u need it

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/IntentCypress18/saved/JbKPVn my build everything is in CAD the 970 evo plus i might change to 512gb, there are 2 monitor but for some reason part picker is not detecting the price so i had to put another monitor in has a placeholder, the motherboard is actually 60 bucks off right now and the gpu and cpu are gonna be big navi and 4th gen ryzen and they there as placeholders

@vital warren can you check out my build

[cursive wharf]

lotta things can be changed

[unborn solstice]

@little osprey i see you have a mid tower case with plenty of room and opted for an expensive air cooler. with plenty of space for a rad u should probably just get an aio for your cpu

[cursive wharf]

AIO is a waste of money tbh

[unborn solstice]

hes spending $130 on an air cooler. an aio will perform better at the same cost

[cursive wharf]

130 CAD isnt enough for a good AIO that can perf better

by perf I mean noise normalized cooling perf

[unborn solstice]

he can always go with a be quiet! aio

[cursive wharf]

silient loop is old and outdated

[unborn solstice]

im just saying if noise is all u care about

personally for that cpu id go with a 240mm rad

[cursive wharf]

AIO noise normalized perf isnt better then air all the time tho

very good 240mm and below barely beats a good air cooler, let alone the bad ones not even being as good

[desert gulch]

I still think my wraith stealth is better than a 240 aio

[cursive wharf]

now you're underestimating AIOs there

[desert gulch]

I wish they included the spire with the 3600

Otherwise, it's kinda hard to oc unless you buy another cooler

[cursive wharf]

@little osprey you can save about 1k CAD tbh
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/JVvvPn

even budgeting for a better GPU too

[little osprey]

ok thanks

the reason i dont want to go aio is cause

in canada they are overpriced

i dont like the mobo

i might keep the same mobo i had or use another one i have in mind

[cursive wharf]

strix is hilariously overpriced just for looks

not ideal

[little osprey]

i am not going for looks

but the parts were good

and the mobo was on sale

60 bucks off

[cursive wharf]

then what feature do you need that isnt on the Gaming 4?

[little osprey]

the wifi is pretty slow

i have 2 gigabit network

[cursive wharf]

get a new card then

[little osprey]

and there is no usb c

[cursive wharf]

do you use USB C? Features are nice to have, but pointless if you dont use them

[little osprey]

yea i do

[cursive wharf]

either way, $13 for a 1733mbps card

[little osprey]

13 bucks

are you sure

for 1733 mbps

fr

[cursive wharf]

yes, because it's a M2 E card

[little osprey]

oh

ok

the keyboard i will change

because many people in the reviews are saying after 2 months

[cursive wharf]

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-AC-9560-2230-Gigabit/dp/B07G42J6KQ/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=intel+cnvi+wifi&qid=1597345687&sr=8-6

[little osprey]

most keys break

[cursive wharf]

plus this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088HG4XXP/ref=twister_B07QZMP18P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
So like $22 total

[little osprey]

also the monitor i will change

cause for 600 bucks

i get 165 Hz

and 1440p

[cursive wharf]

I find UW is generally better

[little osprey]

100hz

[cursive wharf]

esp for productivity

[little osprey]

for 150 more

i think i will be fine without ultra-wide

[cursive wharf]

can you notice the difference from 10ms per frame to 6ms per frame?

either way, 144Hz is significantly cheaper

[little osprey]

thats monitor thou is 100hz

not 144

[cursive wharf]

yes, 100Hz UW is a bit more per monitor

but 144Hz 16:9 is much cheaper

[little osprey]

and i dont want to spend 750 on a monitor

sure it is

i can look into 144hz 16:9

but i dont want to spend 750 on a monitor

its way 2 much

[cursive wharf]

why not?

what do you need three monitor for?

[little osprey]

i dont need 3

it was 3 because

the price was not showing on the msi monitor

so i used that as a placeholder

[terse condor]

Best and most affordable cpu/gpu combo for streaming and gaming 60+ fps?

[cursive wharf]

probs was OOS

can edit the price manually in that case

with this

[little osprey]

oh okay

i didn't know that

also the air cooler is not 130

its 90

the be quiet one

[cursive wharf]

not too bad, but eh. While it is better then Windale 6 idk if it's still worth the extra amount

sure it wasnt USD actually? DRP4 is usually like 80 USD

[little osprey]

is not

is was CAD

[cursive wharf]

where are you getting it? Used? In the past year it has only gone down to $100 CAD once

[little osprey]

not used

is was on amazon

on my build

the list i sent

if the x570 board goes of sale and it doesn't go on sale

when i am getting the parts

i am gonna fall back on a b550

i was first gonna go b550

but then i saw this was 10 bucks more than my b550 bucks and it was x570 so i go it

@cursive wharf you dont have to look for the cooler if it is not the same price when i am going to buy it will get the cooler you sent

[cursive wharf]

revised it for the USB-C, 1.73Gb wireless card, and 16:9 QHD 144Hz display
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/zHVZhg

[little osprey]

i dont want to go b450

b550 is what i am looking for

[cursive wharf]

why?

chipset =/= mobo quality

[little osprey]

b550 is newer and i dont want to update my mobo is the next few years

b450 might support 4th gen but the thing is i have to update bios

[cursive wharf]

you'll have to do the same for b550

or x570

[little osprey]

no for b550

and also the 3700x

is for placeholder

for the 4th gen cpu i want to get

[cursive wharf]

no mobo has Zen3 BIOSes publicly available

meaning you have to update the BIOS to a Zen3 BIOS

[little osprey]

the b450 might need a bios

update to work with 3rd gen

and i might have to use a older cpu

[cursive wharf]

if it was from 9 months ago yes, it'd need a Zen2 BIOS update. However getting one that old is almost impossible

[little osprey]

if i am going b450

i would want to get the msi tomahawk max

which i hear is really good

[cursive wharf]

it isnt

bad SPU, only one NVMe port, no WiFi, lack of PCIe x16 ports

compared to boards at same price

probs no USB-C

[little osprey]

okay

b550 is want i would like

[cursive wharf]

actually surprise, it does have USB-C

but again, almost all b450 have Zen2 BIOSes because the BIOS is updated at factory

[little osprey]

b550 would be better

than the b450 board you sent

i think thats what i will go for

maybe not the board i have

but a b550 nonetheless

[cursive wharf]

what is better on b550 that you want?

you are rn judging by chipset

[little osprey]

the wifi is better (i dont want to have to buy a wifi card and put it in)

[cursive wharf]

which doesnt say anything about the mobo itself

[little osprey]

the bluetooth is better

and the it has PCIe 4.0 16

[cursive wharf]

Gaming 4 WiFi and Auros Pro WiFi is the same trashy WAN chip

iirc

and you're also already building the PC and buying an NVMe. What is an extra basically mini NVMe?

[little osprey]

its wifi 6 2.4 max speed

[cursive wharf]

Then that's only 30 CAD extra instead of 11 CAD extra
https://www.amazon.ca/Authentic-AX200NGW-Wireless-Bluetooth-Internal/dp/B07Y2JFCJS/ref=asc_df_B07Y2JFCJS/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=335405484364&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7532851280835786384&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000711&hvtargid=pla-874108882524&psc=1

meaning it's 200 CAD total for the board

[little osprey]

it says in the description that the chip should be used with a intel based system

and with wifi m.2 slot

does the wifi logo on the m.2 slot matter

and does the intel based system thing matter

[cursive wharf]

either the "NGW" means it's special and it's Intel only or that is just a general statement. Lot of the WiFi 6 boards use "AX200"

[little osprey]

ok

[cursive wharf]

Tho the "AX200" im seeing for the AMD boards could just be shorted down from "AX200NGW"

so Im looking into that

[little osprey]

ok

[cursive wharf]

WiFi logo just means that it's an M2 A or M2 E port. There is also M2 B and M2 M which is the NVMe/SATA stuff

so it's to not get confused between the two

[little osprey]

does the board have a m2 a and/or m2 e

[cursive wharf]

it has M2 E

[little osprey]

also do i need antenna

you sent

that link

[cursive wharf]

if you're getting the b450 Auros Pro, then no as it already comes with a trash wLAN module+antennas. If you're getting the b550 Phantom Gaming 4 non AC then yes, as it doesnt come with a wLAN module at all and no antennas

[little osprey]

ok

do you know the difference between these 2

they are sold by the same people

as the people from the link u sent but Canadian store

[cursive wharf]

So when looking at the mini WiFi cards you have three options: mini PCIe, M2_A, and M2_E. mini PCIe is kinda old with an older interface even on the antenna connector. The top one uses the old format for mini PCIe. The bottom one uses the new format that M2_A and M2_E use. Also you're looking at 1 piece antennas, so that kit only comes with one antenna

[little osprey]

ok

[cursive wharf]

okay so seems like AX200NGW and AX200 is the same thing, just that one is a nickname basically

[little osprey]

ok good

the 2 piece antenna costs 50 bucks

and is for mini

pcie

dumb

i will just buy the single antenna twice

if i need antenna

[cursive wharf]

there might be other antenna options. But I had a hard time looking for one because searching up the correct words is annoying

[little osprey]

i didn't find other good ones on amazon

that one is from the official seller

and i dont want to buy from a different seller

unless is it sold an shipped by amazon or fulfilled by amazon

[cursive wharf]

fulfilled by amazon here
https://www.amazon.ca/WayinTop-Wireless-Network-Antenna-Pigtail/dp/B07WTB9S97/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_pd_crcd_0_6/146-7455139-2287121?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07WTB9S97&pd_rd_r=144d235c-a07c-4bc0-8ab8-63dead2f6d06&pd_rd_w=b4oqT&pd_rd_wg=eTezS&pf_rd_p=69a331f7-523c-4c1e-8376-8e17305918e2&pf_rd_r=PBXX7MCSQJHYNDC9HMKY&psc=1&refRID=PBXX7MCSQJHYNDC9HMKY

[little osprey]

does it work

with ax200 (ax200ngw)

it does nvm

someone in the reviews say it works with a m.2 card

[cursive wharf]

ye, super long confusing name has it there

[little osprey]

yea

be back in 15 minutes

[amber lichen]

Hey I have a question I’m going to get a Ryzen 5 3600 and I’m on a budget and I have no clue what motherboard I should use

My friends keep telling me to get the X570 because it has better specs for the same price

I’m not to sure though because I think I might want to upgrade to a zen 3 chip in the future

But I’m not sure and I want to play it safe but yea idk

[stoic island]

???

@amber lichen B550 ds3h is 95$, the cheapest decent x570 boards are 150$

[amber lichen]

Idk I think he said the X570 was the better bang for your buck or something like that

[stoic island]

no

b550 is more bang for you buck

[amber lichen]

And uhh I thought the b550 ds3h was bad or something

[stoic island]

x570 is for if you want to splurge

It's not bad for a 3600

you don't need huge vrms

It doesn't have any problems

it just works

sure it might not have 3 m.2 slots if you're into that

[amber lichen]

Mk I’ll look more into it then

[stoic island]

or like dual 2.5g ethernet, but do you need those?

[cursive wharf]

B550 ds3h has poor SPU tho

[amber lichen]

Probably not

[stoic island]

tbh 80% of the people here use USB Headsets

only the audiophiles really care about the spu

and if you're an audiophile you'll look into it yourself

[amber lichen]

If I do get a b550 I think I’m going to get an msi b550 - vdh or something like that

Imma go check

[stoic island]

Sure ALC887 is a step down from ALC1220/1200 but that doesn't matter for USB headsets

[cursive wharf]

Why MSI?

[amber lichen]

Idk why not

Should I get ASRock

[cursive wharf]

More expensive

[stoic island]

pro vdh was Asrock I think

I forgot lemme check

[cursive wharf]

MSI usually

[amber lichen]

Lmao Same

[stoic island]

nope it was MSI

That board isn't bad for the price actually

110$ rn

not great not bad

[amber lichen]

Really?!

Ok I’ll be back in 10

[cursive wharf]

Doesn't have anything much over ds3h tho

[stoic island]

it has wifi

https://www.newegg.com/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi/p/N82E16813144331

[amber lichen]

I want an atx board though

So the closest one to that with WiFi is like 190

Oh an btw the b550m is 110 not the b550 one

[stoic island]

B550m is still B550

it's just mATX

same thing

just smaller

Cheapest b550 ATX board is phantom gaming 4
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089VTZ83Q

[amber lichen]

Is it good though?

[stoic island]

it works

it doesn't have premium features

but it's a motherboard that has all the right features

[amber lichen]

I honestly low key just want to give up and pick up an ASRock b450 board rn lmao

This is so annoying

[stoic island]

???

What's wrong with going with a B550 ds3h

you get PCIe 4.0 with B550 and not B450

[desert gulch]

And support for ryzen 4

[wary geode]

Yo i really need help from someone about a compalibjty thing for a competition in having with yams can anyone dm me

And I’ll ask a simple question

[latent storm]

hey my brother is looking into getting a computer and he mentioned his budget is around 700-800 usd and he basically just wants to play minecraft and surf the web, any recommendations?

[vital warren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9TcF7T something like this?

could go a little cheaper on mobo but i think the b550 is worth getting

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hcnCNq this is w a cheaper mobo

still a b550

and switched 1660s for 2060

[cursive wharf]

@vital warren 12III 500w and lower are group regulated PSUs, not that great. If going 12III, at least go for 550w/650w as they are DC-DC

[slender owl]

Is this legit?

[viral ore]

you can just check the speed in the bios

you dont need a tik tok vid that only shows the bios of one motherboard to tell you

[stoic island]

lol it assumes you have asrock

and you can use it so much easier with cpuz

or something else

[fallen wadi]

looking for a little help

[stoic island]

yea anyways

What parts have you already bought, and what else have you picked out?

[fallen wadi]

so i have the CPU

i think i want the drives and that board because of the m.2 x3 and i want ot run raid 0

[stoic island]

Send the link without the https

[fallen wadi]

oh haha sorry, i dont use discord all that much (incase not obvious)

[stoic island]

It's just a moderation thing on this discord that auto-deletes links if you're not a certain level

[fallen wadi]

im not

hold on

pcpartpicker.com/list/fQ6x7T

[stoic island]

For example something like this doesn't get deleted www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Lightroom-Classic-CPU-performance-Intel-Core-10th-Gen-vs-AMD-Ryzen-3rd-Gen-1761/

[fallen wadi]

yep..

[stoic island]

that's a lot of ram

you think you'll need that much?

kind of really expensive too (for 4x32gb)

[fallen wadi]

😄 yes but when editing and "stitching" photos it will use every drop

[stoic island]

How much do you use right now in your current system?

[fallen wadi]

well i found some200 faster for about same at newegg but they dont have that listed on parts picker yet for some reason

my current system is only my surface book pro 2
