You'll have to install windows on it first

sand falcon

Pretty much

You can move the actication code to the new install

sand falcon

Hello

@flat fern I'm seeing the Verbatim Vi560 listed as a sata drive

@hasty bear You make a pcpartpicker list for that and I'll look at it

hasty bear
#

what do you mean? you want the link of the list?

sand falcon
#

Yeah. It's a huge pain to look over lists that are typed up like that

#

DM the link to me

#

Hey @celest horizon, are newegg.io links not whitelisted?

#

This is what Mesut was trying to send: https://newegg.io/bb5c961

#

What's your budget Mesut?

hasty bear
#

My budget around 1800 for only desktop

sand falcon
#

Okay. What will you be doing with this PC? Looks like there's something going on more than just simple gaming

#

1800 USD, right?

hasty bear
#

Yes. This is for my school. I work on Auto Cad, Solid Work, MathLab and some software for engineering

sand falcon
#

Oof matlab

#

So we're gonna be looking at more CPU power than we would normally

#

Mechanical Engineering?

hasty bear
#

Is this PC I chose too much?

sand falcon
#

Not at all. ME is very compute heavy

hasty bear
#

No, I'm in Electrical but also mechanical

high coyote
sand falcon
#

Electrical is alo heavy, just a little less so. The main thing is that the build is very expensive for the performance you'll get out of it

#

Do you play any video games, or will it only be for engineering work?

hasty bear
#

lol No game for me

#

only engineering work

#

can you fix the list for me please?

sand falcon
#

Hallelujah finally a compute oriented build!

#

🙂

#

I am on this

hasty bear
#

I thank you!

high coyote
#

@sand falcon don’t you love when your motherboard dies and you forget to take off some liquid off the motherboard and they said you voided your warranty.

#

Made me pay 200 bucks

sand falcon
#

ooof

#

@hasty bear Do you use any software that requires intel?

high coyote
hasty bear
#

Hi , no Bob

sand falcon
#

woot

#

It's 3950x time

high coyote
#

For sure

#

For no games definitely

sand falcon
#

I wish pcpp had ram height listed

#

Mind if I change out this case @hasty bear?

hasty bear
#

No worries

sand falcon
#

👍

desert gulch
#

Hello bob

#

So if you get say 3600 c16 ram, can you set it to 3200 c14? Or does latency only work going up?

#

@sand falcon

high coyote
#

You can go low

#

Don’t see why you would but yes you could

desert gulch
#

Just was something I was wondering lol

#

Thanks tho

thoughts?

sand falcon
#

Ram is expensive, SSD has no DRAM, PSU is a bit sketch

little osprey
#

sorry man

#

this was my first build

sand falcon
#

It's no biggie

little osprey
#

and if it helps i was 14

#

i used my frnds power supply

#

i hate nvidia

high coyote
#

Why

sand falcon
#

Pretty much all of those are fairly minor things too

#

I would upgrade the PSU when you get the chance though

little osprey
#

Why
@high coyote rx580>rtx2060

#

I would upgrade the PSU when you get the chance though
@sand falcon to what

high coyote
#

Huh

little osprey
#

its a 600 watt psu

#

i have like 80 bucks

#

im thinking of buying a new monitor

sand falcon
#

@high coyote Also, to quote The Linus, "F*** you nvidia!"

high coyote
#

Linus said that

sand falcon
#

The Linus, not Linus

little osprey
#

The linus

#

not linus tech tips

sand falcon
#

^

#

This guy gets it

high coyote
#

Never heard of him lemme look him up

sand falcon
#

Linus Torvalds

deep skiff
#

the dude that made that lame os

sand falcon
#

Yup

#

Really just a hobby

deep skiff
#

is he dead or no

sand falcon
#

Still kicken

#

Just made a brand new PC with the 3970x

#

And an rx580

deep skiff
#

hm i thought he was dead apparently not

little osprey
#

the dude that made that lame os
@deep skiff bruh its not lame

#

Just made a brand new PC with the 3970x
@sand falcon wot

sand falcon
#

Lol

#
ya like jazz?#6895 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

little osprey
#

i know a s*it ton of kali

sand falcon
#

Maybe it was a 3960x, I forget

high coyote
sand falcon
#

Kali Cringe

little osprey
#

wot

#

i have a raspberry pi with it

sand falcon
#

Kali's a bit of a meme distro

little osprey
#

nope

#

parrot and kali

sand falcon
#

Lot's of people just use it to be edgy

little osprey
#

are good

#

Lot's of people just use it to be edgy
@sand falcon yes

#

i took a course of some kali tools

sand falcon
#

It's sorta like arch for wanna-be blackhats

little osprey
#

nah man

#

its recon

#

10 yo download it to look cool

#

thats the problem

#

anyways

#

what shld i upgrade in my rig

sand falcon
#

First thing would be the PSU, but you could prioritize the monitor first

#

No biggie there

#

Just get a better PSU in there soon

little osprey
#

what shld i change my psu to ?

little osprey
#

thanks

#

cheap is my life

high coyote
#

Good brand

sand falcon
#

Amen

little osprey
#

i made my rig in 900

#

and well pirated a windows key

sand falcon
#

I am dissapointed in you

little osprey
#

why

#

i hate microsoft

sand falcon
#

Windows

little osprey
#

its gaming man

sand falcon
#

I know

little osprey
#

i aint using ubuntu

sand falcon
#

I hate it too

little osprey
#

and i have a pi with kali

#

soo

sand falcon
#

But we still need it for that one thing

#

pop_OS is getting good for lots of games, so hopefully we can cut that tie soon

little osprey
#

tru

#

i saw it on ltt

high coyote
#

I would never abandon windows right now for something else unless a os gets better than windows

sand falcon
#

Linux is already better

little osprey
#

windows servers are run(?) on linux

sand falcon
#

Some of them, yeah. Linux is not for gaming, that's the only thing

#

It's like intel and amd pretty much

celest horizon
#

Using kali is great

#

Daily driving kali as your general use OS is stupid

little osprey
#

tell me the name of one kali tool

celest horizon
#

really stupid

sand falcon
#

^

#

Wireshark

little osprey
#

Daily driving kali as your general use OS is stupid
@celest horizon who...does th---

sand falcon
#

The edgy 10yo blackhat wannabes

little osprey
#

i wrote that

#

heyyyyyy

#

we all agree on one thing

#

gaming laptops suck

sand falcon
#

Yup. Does kali ship with hashcat and john the ripper?

little osprey
#

yessir

sand falcon
#

Nice

sand falcon
#

It's QLC

#

If you don't mind saving up a bit more, the mp34 is only a bit more expensive

little osprey
#

hmm

#

what game shld i play next

little osprey
#

?hw

sand falcon
#

Huh, right now it's actually pretty much the same price. That's nice

#

#

mines a joke build

#

but practical if you had the money

#

$hw

sand falcon
#

Might consider a raid controller for those HDDs

little osprey
#

the motherboard has that dimm2

#

and dont need it

#

onboard raid will work fine

sand falcon
sand falcon
#

Burrito gif is not allowed here

Linds nixed it

little osprey

but it wasnt there before bob

#

plus some stuff is no longer available

sand falcon
#

They added PSU size checking recently

little osprey
#

neat

#

Im sure itll fit tho

#

even tho theres a limit

#

it just will be tight]

sand falcon
#

Hacksaw and you're fine

little osprey
#

or remoe shroud

#

or find a smaller psu

#

im gonna go use the family laptop

#

1343 watts

#

tikes

sand falcon
#

See, what you do is get a server grade PSU

sand falcon
#

2000W titanium for like 70 bucks

little osprey
#

its a i3 with 4 gb ram

#

updated the power supply

#

replaced the stupidly overpriced gpu's

#

and the nolonger availble

sand falcon
#

I am dissapointed in the lack of pcie 4 ssds

little osprey
#

dimm.2 doesnt support that

sand falcon
#

Dang

cosmic void
#

Heya folks

#

New to the pc game

#

Need some help getting all this stuff outta here so I can see the case

#

Also need a really cheap gaming build that can at least run warzone

#

That or csgo

#

Under 600 dollars tho

desert gulch
#

What settings do you want it to run at?

cosmic void
#

As long as its 720 p

#

I'm chillin

desert gulch
#

Just buy a next gen console lol

#

So is that 600 budget for everything? Like monitor, mouse and keyboard, and stuff?

cosmic void
#

No I wanna be able to play csgo and vlaorant as well

desert gulch
#

And pc?

cosmic void
#

And I have a keyboard and mouse

#

Just need pc n monitor

desert gulch
#

But would need monitor?

#

Ok

#

At that price it could be worth considering buying an optiplex and putting a GPU in it

cosmic void
#

Cool let's get it show me what I need

#

If its easier dm me m8

desert gulch
#

I may go to sleep lol

lavish compass
#

So i was wondering about airflow

#

I just built a pc using a rosewill spectra x

#

The airflow comes in from the front but the front doesn't have a dust filter like the top

#

Wouldn't it be better for air to come in from the top where theres a filter. Ik heat rises but just wondering if sucking in dust is gonna be a bigger isssue

stoic island
#

You will have to find the lesser of 2 evils

jagged ember
#

Do you like heat, or dust

little osprey
#

Need some help picking a laptop

errant berry
#

how much is your budget

stoic island
#

@little osprey what you looking for in a laptop?

little osprey
#

Around $600

#

Mostly websurfing, facebook, mojang, solitaire, farmville

#

Those kinda things. And needs to be 17"

#

@stoic island @errant berry

odd crypt
#

@little osprey at that r8 just buy a 23" monitor

little osprey
#

....

#

It's for my grandmother

#

She wants a 17" laptop

#

She doesn't have room for a monitor

#

And she wants to be mobile

#

That's why I asked for what I did

errant berry
#

ah

leaden sail
#

hello guys

#

so i’m building my own pc and it refuses to do even post. the most that happens is a fan on my case looks like it’s about to start spinning but just stops

#

(my front panel connectors are in the right place)

#

idk i just need help because i have no idea what is going wrong

sand falcon
#

Have you tried reseating all of the power cables?

leaden sail
#

indeed i have

sand falcon
#

What are your system specs?

leaden sail
#

x470 gaming plus max motherboard, ryzen 7 3700x (i will update bios on motherboard to support ryzen 3000 once it actually works) 32gb of gskill ddr4 ram. and my psu is a thermaltake smart 600w

#

plus an rtx 2070 but i’ve been trying to power up the system without that

sand falcon
#

Some motherboards need to have a GPU present to boot

leaden sail
#

yeah this one does not tho it’s got integrated graphics

#

even powering up the system with a gpu it doesn’t work

sand falcon
#

The motherboard itself has integrated graphics?

#

Lemme look this thing up rq

cursive wharf
#

no

sand falcon
#

It does not have integrated graphics

cursive wharf
#

need iGPU on CPU

#

which 3700x doesnt have

leaden sail
#

oh okay lmaoo

cursive wharf
leaden sail
#

i am dumb

#

but the system still does not boot up with a graphics card

sand falcon
#

Can you take a picture of the build and DM it to me?

mortal rampart
#

i got a couple of questions was to why my cpu temps drastically change so much

little osprey
#

Cooling

#

Usage

#

Thermal paste going bad

mortal rampart
#

it seems to fluctuate all too much while even idling

#

it will jump like 10C for a little bit then go back down

little osprey
#

Thermal paste

#

Just a guesd

#

*guess

#

Improper air flow

mortal rampart
#

airflrow is fine

#

but when i use ryzen master and turn the frequency up to 3.8 and undervolt it at 1.25 its every stable

little osprey
#

It's the extra voltage then

mortal rampart
#

but im undervolting it

earnest olive
#

@mortal rampart perfectly normal behavior for ryzen

#

ryzen boosting algorithm is pretty aggressive

#

my idle temps go from 40 to 60

#

with aftermarket cooler and very high case airflow

mortal rampart
#

Dang ok

foggy hazel
#

it is nothing you have to worry about

mortal rampart
#

I was like well I've had it for 2 months and it hasn't blown up yet NYEHE

frozen axle
earnest olive
#

@frozen axle XT cpu bad

#

looks fine otherwise

vital warren
#

might as well get a 3900x if ur paying that much for a cpu

little leaf
#

@frozen axle if your gaming go with a 3600

frozen axle
#

its for video editing, little graphic design and streaming while gaming as a side so 3700x is better option for price?

sand falcon
#

Possibly

robust plover
#

What's a board I can use for the 3 3200g with current bios

sand falcon
#

Any b450 board

robust plover
#

Well when I put it in pc part picker it says there might be a bios problem that would mean you would have to buy a later gen cpu

lyric thistle
#

Probably not an issue anymore

#

Unless you buy a used board that has an old bios

#

I think?

robust plover
#

Well

sand falcon
#

3200g is zen+ already though

spiral zealot
#

5600xt showed up in the mail today, woot

#

offerup wasn't a scam!

sand falcon
#

@spiral zealot Have you verified that it works though

spiral zealot
#

yep, installed it and fired it up

#

it's on the 12gbps bios still, but that's an easy fix

#

it's hot as balls here today so it was idling in the mid 40's, but it was also still on zero fan plus high ambient temps

#

so i'm not worried about that

#

xfx has the thicc lineup, but this one is really a thicc boi

lyric thistle
#

Wait wait

#

Is that 4 slots wide xd

#

No wait 3...?

spiral zealot
#

3 slots including cooler

#

seriously beefy

lyric thistle
#

Thicc af

#

Would cover all of my PCIe slots

spiral zealot
#

it's the XFX RAW II 5600XT

lyric thistle
#

Wait not quite but still

spiral zealot
#

i still have 2 accessible down at the bottom, if i need them

#

no rgb, but the white blends in easily enough

lyric thistle
#

Finna blast off like a starship

spiral zealot
#

i'm playing around with a cyberpunky color scheme lol

#

i had the ram alternating between blue/purple, but i like the blue/yellow

lyric thistle
#

Cool cool Yes

spiral zealot
#

the front fans are yellow as well, and the case has 3 rgb strips on the front, which are set to blue

sand falcon
#

Is that a threadripper I see

spiral zealot
#

it is

spiral zealot
#

yep

#

got a great deal on the cpu/mb and have been wanting a workstation PC for a while

#

ended up being a cheap switch from my previous setup

little osprey
#

I need help building my new pc

#

I got parts its just im a bit confused

#

ping me if u can help

stoic island
#

@little osprey with what

little osprey
#

I put the CPU in with the cooler

#

The ram

#

I need help with cable managment and where to put certain cables

stoic island
#

I'm not the guy to ask about cable management xD
If you got problems with cables and where they plug in, I should be able to help

little osprey
#

Thats what i mean

stoic island
#

What does the connector look like, and where does it come from

#

DM an image if you can take a pic

little osprey
#

ok

#

one moment

kind flax
#

I instaled a new m.2 ssd but windows is not recoginzing it

#

I see it in bios menu

foggy hazel
#

disk manager @kind flax

#

right click your start button, select "disk management"

fleet spade
#

Anyone got a sec to help me out with something

foggy hazel
#

ask your question, and if someone has the time, they will say so @fleet spade :)

kind flax
#

i only see my two storages

#

the m.2 is my third

foggy hazel
#

@kind flax could you pm me a screenshot of that window?

fleet spade

So I'm building a customer's PC, Ryzen 3700x, Aorus B450 Pro wifi, 16gb Corsair vengeance, EVGA 600w 80+ Bronze, 4tb wd black, and Samsung evo 1tb m.2, Customer ordered Aorus 2080 Ti Extreme waterforce for a GPU still waiting for that to come in, put everything together and threw an older card in to see if it'll post and let me peak the bios, but absolutely no power is running through the board it seems, no fans nothing, PSU runs because I tested it as soon as I opened it but the bored looks to have no issues no matter how man times I study the board, all in all very lost

foggy hazel
#

could just be a DOA board.

last zenith
#

yea looks like doa board

#

rip

spiral zealot
#

i'm thinking about my next build. i have an i3-6100 and 16gb of ddr4-2400 lying around, wondering what would be best to pair it with? 1050ti? 1060 6gb?

#

since it's only a 2c/4t cpu, doesn't need anything super crazy

last zenith
#

1050ti

fleet spade
#

Ah yeah might be a doa board. Rip just got here today too. Alright! Return/defective here I come

last zenith
#

its it weird i never had to deal with a doa part before

#

ive only bulit like 4 pcs tho

little osprey
#

I need help where to plug in some cables on my first build can anyone help me out. Thanks!

fleet spade
#

Well we picked this up on Newegg since it's what the customer wanted, didn't think it would come DOA but I guess a week and a half of waiting and across the country it can happen

#

First time I've ever had DOA anything too

kind jolt
#

Yo peeps - I'm a first-time custom PC builder and wondering if anyone has thoughts on this build? Had some friends recommend parts based on my work [music production] and gaming habits [casual]: Fractal Design Define R5 Computer Case, ASUS AM4 TUF X570-Plus, AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core 3.5GHz, Fractal Design Ion+ 760W, Kingston Technology HyperX Fury Black 32GB 2666MHz DDR4, Sabrent Rocket 2TB PCIe M.2 3200 MB/s, Noctue NG-D15 SSo2 D-Type CPU Cooler

last zenith
#

when i bulit my 1st pc in 2018 i bought a amazon renewed x370 gaming plus mobo

#

but it didnt have the backplate to put a cooler on it

errant berry
#

where did casual gaming go lol

last zenith
#

so thats the only pc part ive returned

stoic island
#

@kind jolt first thoughts, that ram is pretty slow for use with 3rd gen Ryzen, and do you have a GPU?

errant berry
#

ye i thought something was missing

#

16gb should be fine too, dont need 32

stoic island
#

The PSU is a bit overkill wattage wise, and usually is one of the more expensive models, but if it's a good price (~130$ or less), it's fine

#

I think 32gb is fine for music production

#

I heard it takes a good bit

errant berry
#

ah i didnt know that

#

makes sense tho

last zenith
#

yea hes making money with his pc so spend extra tho

errant berry
#

true

last zenith
#

me with a 3.5 k setup just to not be bored af

stoic island
errant berry
#

me with a 1k setup bc im hella broke

last zenith
#

trump money

stoic island
#

Of course if you got a good deal on the ion, keep it

kind jolt
#

In terms of RAM - does higher speed have a big impact on performance? I saw some other ones are closer to 3600MHz+.. Haven't selected a GPU but saw that the GTX 2060 / 2070 were recommended, may be overkill? [i use a large 40 inch 4k monitor and heard that it can help a lot]

stoic island
#

It is a great PSU

errant berry
#

nah i didnt even get that

stoic island
#

Yea, 3600mhz at Cas latency 16 is recommended with 3rd gen Ryzen, I can find you a kit as an example. Just displaying things you don't need a beefy GPU, but I think having a 2070 super or so would be nice if you have any programs that take GPU acceleration

#

Do you guys know where this plugs into on the other side of a USB 2.0 plug?

errant berry
#

what even is that

kind jolt
#

Noted, thanks for the advice @stoic island

wary geode
#

to the stock cooler

#

@stoic island

#

its on its side or under it

kind jolt
#

Are there any considerations in terms of physical / software compatibility? Just wondering whether that needs to be checked before I get all these great parts and they dont assemble together or something

wary geode
#

its for rgb

stoic island
#

Lemme check real quick, right now all I think you need to check is ram height with D15 compatibility

#

Also, @kind jolt use pcpartpicker, it automatically checks some of the simple dimensions

#

It looks like D15 will need to move the second fan up for that ram kit, Ripjaw Vs are 42mm tall, with 32mm avaliable in the normal config

#

Which isn't an issue for you case, D15 is normally 165mm tall, the R5 supports up to 180mm tall CPU coolers

#

so if you move the second fan up 10mm you'll be fine

#

It's also an option to go with the NH-D15s if you just wanted second fan to be gone for much better ram compatibility

exotic yarrow
#

First time pc build and have a noob question. Not 100% sure what I'm doing but did a lot of research.

Can you test your motherboard without a cpu, gpu, ssd, and ram? Like will any led or fans come on? Only part I'm waiting on now to complete my setup is ram and ssd

What I have:
Asus rog strix B450-F
Ryzen 5 3600x
Geforce gtx 1660 super
970 evo 500g ssd
16g ddr4 ram
4t hdd
1000w 80+ gold psu

stoic island
#

Single fan does not hamper the cooling capacity too much, the heatsink can still do it's job in a casewith good airflow

#

I believe you'll need a CPU for it to do anything

last zenith
#

yes need cpu

stoic island
#

Fans and LEDs will go without ram or ssd or gpu

#

but need that cpu

exotic yarrow
#

So cpu is installed now and gpu is installed. Nothing comes on. I think its doa. Tested my psu by jumping 4 and 5. Fan comes on the psu

stoic island
#

Tried jumping mobo power headers?

exotic yarrow
#

Yes

stoic island
#

no debug LEDs or anything?

#

if so, then contact Asus support first just in case

exotic yarrow
#

Nothing at all doesnt make a sound and psu fan does not come on when hooked to the mobo

stoic island
#

then either go to newegg for a return or Asus for a RMA

exotic yarrow
#

Wonderful...

#

Thanks for the help. I'll give Asus a call in the morning

stoic island
#

Not much you can do when something was dead, sadly

exotic yarrow
#

Makes for a great first time experience 🤣🤣

little osprey
#

Do you guys lube your keyboards? I got a ducky tkl keyboard loving it

#

And if so how often and what is the best lube in the market rn?

#

Btw please ping me for the answer i g2g

stoic island
spiral zealot
#

it looks like a fan connector, what's on the other end of it?

stoic island
#

I dunno, the pins look a bit thick for 4 pin fan headers

spiral zealot
#

hm yeah

#

it's definitely some kind of power converter, but i'm not sure what

deep skiff
#

@stoic island kinda looks like molex -> 4 pin

#

@little osprey you should only need to lube switches once, but you would have to desolder them and resolder them after you lubed them, krytox 205g0 and tribosis 3204 are good for linears, tribosis 3203 is good for tactiles (cant really lube clicky switches)

wary geode
#

thats alsoi a fan conntecor i believ if your cpu fan cable doesnt work @stoic island

fast dust
#

@stoic island pretty sure that's molex to floppy

stoic island
#

excuse me WHAT

fast dust
#

could be

stoic island
#

o k a i

sand falcon
#

Looks like molex to fan power to me

fast dust
#

what kinda fan would that power...?

stoic island
#

confusing stuff

#

BLOWYMATRONS

sand falcon
#

A molex fan

fast dust
#

wait what does the molex look like

sand falcon
#

Molex is the fat bit

fast dust
#

no yeah i mean

#

is it female or male molex

digital pecan
#

looks female

#

inside would be 4 fat pins

fast dust
#

if its female, that'd be fan to molex, if its male...

#

idk what it would be

sand falcon
little osprey
#

@little osprey you should only need to lube switches once, but you would have to desolder them and resolder them after you lubed them, krytox 205g0 and tribosis 3204 are good for linears, tribosis 3203 is good for tactiles (cant really lube clicky switches)
@deep skiff once? Or once in a while? What happens if i dont lube? Will the keys stop working?

deep skiff
#

no lube just makes them smoother and sound slightly different (lessens the plastic on plastic friction), lubing is optional it works perfectly fine without it

ripe lily
#

Hey anyone got any good builds for a 1080p 700 USD gaming pc

#

Looking for a parts list

desert gulch
#

Would you need mouse keyboard monitor also or just pc?

#

@ripe lily

ripe lily
#

No

#

Just a pc

#

Keyboard mouse and monitor

#

I can figure out

desert gulch
#

Ok that is doable

ripe lily
#

Alright

desert gulch
#

Sadly on mobile rn so can't help with the list... Maybe later

ripe lily
#

Alright

#

I will need a list at some point I’m kinda new to this

stoic island
#

you can get faster ram, higher wattage PSU, or maybe get a 3600 in

desert gulch
#

Hello mr1

#

How's you day going?

rancid fable
stoic island
#

Good, you?

desert gulch
#

Good

#

Faster ssd

stoic island
#

@rancid fable I'd reccomend a Crucial P1 instead for the SSD, NVMe at the same price so why not

deep skiff
#

@rancid fable gaming?

desert gulch
#

Could go for mp34 imo

#

4 bucks more

rancid fable
#

@deep skiff yes and @stoic island thanks

desert gulch
#

Are you gonna oc the cpu?

stoic island
#

the GPU and PSU are both out of stock at best buy by the way

rancid fable
#

Ik

stoic island
#

You can get a B550 phantom gaming 4 for cheaper than that b450 tomahawk max

rancid fable
#

ok

#

@desert gulch depends

#

probably not though

vital warren
#

i would def go for the b550

desert gulch
#

Mr1 isn't stock cooler good enough for a little oc?

#

On 3700x

stoic island
#

It's good enough for PBO to do it's job

desert gulch
#

It comes with the spire right?

stoic island
#

prism

desert gulch
#

Oh yea

deep skiff
stoic island
#

Oh yea dark rock 4 is overpriced for what it is

#

thought it was drp4 lol

#

Mugen 5 rev b is good for the price

deep skiff
#

yes thats why i put it there :p

#

also they include a nice magnetic screwdriver so ez buy

stoic island
#

:O

desert gulch
stoic island
#

very nice

desert gulch
#

I've spent hours total lol

stoic island
#

I don't cable manage well myself so lemme

deep skiff
#

the 24 pin area looks like a tornado

desert gulch
#

That's cuz USB 3

#

On front of case

deep skiff
#

hm

desert gulch
#

And don't wanna put to much stress on 24 pin

stoic island
deep skiff
#

maybe hide that cpu cooler can to the left of that vrm block

desert gulch
#

Ok

#

How should I manage my sata cable better?

sand falcon
#

Use wireless sata

desert gulch
#

Yes

#

Bluetooth sata

sand falcon
#

Actually...

desert gulch
#

Do they actually make them?

stoic island
#

anyways looks much better than mine

#

prob not

desert gulch
#

I wish

sand falcon
#

Bluetooth is probably too low bandwidth

desert gulch
#

Yeah

#

Unless your hard drive was mega slow lol

#

You know things are bad when your dad's pc get to the login screen after like 5 minutes

#

He'll just turn it on and take a shower, so it's done booting by the time he gets back lmao

#

Anyone know how to wipe a user from Windows 10? No format or factory reset if it possible

Asking for a family member fyi

terse condor
#

Hey do all intel i5 cpus fit the same motherboards?

stoic island
#

nope

#

there's like 4 different generation of chipsets that only apply to certain generations of intel chips

#

like 10600k isn't going in a z390 board

#

vice versa a 9600k isn't going in a z490 board

unborn solstice
#

most intel cpus are lga1151 sockets but the new ones are lga1200 so just be aware of that

little osprey
#

^unlike Ryzen

stoic island
#

Even on LGA1151 they got dif boards for dif generations

sand falcon
#

Yup

little osprey
#

And that's why I went Ryzen

#

Pretty much any gen (except threadripper) can go on a b450, ryzen 9 is recommended for b550/x570, but you could use b450 with some performance loss

stoic island
#

like Z270 vs Z370/Z390 are both on LGA1151

#

but coffee lake doesn't go in Z270

#

and skylake doesn't go in z390

#

stuff do be confusing

deep skiff
#

i mean people have ran a 3900x on a320 and it works

little osprey
#

Really?

sand falcon
#

Yup

little osprey
#

I thought a ryzen 9 3 could only go down to b450?

#

I guess if you have the bios for it?

deep skiff
#

some a320 and x370 have the newer bios

stoic island
#

Yea

deep skiff
#

its not a good idea but

stoic island
#

But a certain intel would never have you do chips across architectures in old mobos

unborn solstice
#

id say thats pretty balanced right?

lime forge
#

reeeeeee

#

@unborn solstice maybe get 512 ssd 2 hdd?

Question about the Gigabyte B550M DS3H and and m.2 ssd. Which slot should it go in to be bootable?

sand falcon
#

Put it in the top one

craggy drift

Nearest the cpu?

sand falcon
#

Yes

craggy drift
#

Thank you @sand falcon

high coyote
#

@unborn solstice get a windows key that’s cheap like 10 bucks. It’s a waste paying over that

unborn solstice
#

@high coyote i got it for $3 lol

spiral zealot
#

i have an old r7 370 lying around that i found in the closet, do you think that would be a worth while card to try and flip in a build? would be paired with the i3-6100 i have lying around

#

it's basically a brand new card, it was used once at work for writing a review a few years ago and then put back in the box

#

just seeing how many things i have in the parts pile that i can compile into a budget machine

craggy drift
#

I'm in process of building a pc with my son and we are having problems figuring out how to connect a evga 550 b5 to the Gigabyte B550M DS3H. Is there a diagram I can refer to for connections?

unborn solstice
#

there might be one on their website. usually its just a 24 pin on the right and sometimes supplemental in the top left of the mobo

craggy drift
#

I got the main connection but what about the video card? Is that one the vga connection?

unborn solstice
#

vga is video

#

thats an output. there should be connectors on the edge of your gpu facing you when in the pcie slot

#

those are the power cables that go directly to psi

#

psu*

craggy drift
#

On the mobo there is an ATX 12V, is that one optional because there is no cable included that would fit in that connection

little leaf
#

No lmao

#

Well

spiral zealot
#

the atx 12v, if it's not the 24pin, will actually be 2 4 pin connectors that clip together

#

and they should be labeled as 'cpu' on the split end

little leaf
#

Cant remember is the ds3h 4ping cpu

#

Or 8 pin cpu

spiral zealot
#

it's an 8 pin in the top left

#

looking at the PSU, it looks like the cable you want will be labeled as CPU on both sets of connectors. the solid 8 pin connector goes into the power supply where it says 'CPU1'

#

and the split connector goes into the motherboard

little leaf
#

Wait your using this gen ryzen with a 550?

#

Oh no lmao 550 watts psu

craggy drift
#

Nom nom, instead of "lmao" how about some helpful advice.

#

Everyone I asked about this build said the 550 was plenty

spiral zealot
#

it's fine, he was talking about using a B550 chipset, but as long as you're using a Ryzen 3000 series CPU, you won't have any issues

craggy drift
#

I am

spiral zealot
#

but as I mentioned before, check for the PSU cable labeled "CPU" and connect the solid 8 pin to the PSU where it says 'CPU1' and the split 4 pin connector end goes into the ATX 12V socket on the motherboard

craggy drift
#

Thanks @spiral zealot got that connected

spiral zealot
#

awesome!

#

and make sure to take the time to cable manage as you go, run cables behind the motherboard tray and use the various cutouts and grommets to poke the cables through and connect to the board/gpu/etc

#

it just makes the build look clean and sleek when you're all done

And im not sure how he made a 2060 in a 700 dollar buils

#

Along with a 3600

lucid swallow
#

No I am saying @timid escarp should use 1660

#

So his budget will be under 700 dollars

you should definitely upgrade the GPU. but wait for Nvidia 3000

wary geode
#

I’ll help do A) the case I belive would be fine but relize the airflow is bad b) get the 3600 and save a buck maybe over lock if you feel comfortable c) get a b550 board the d3sh is 95 and is solid d) the ram could be 3600mhz an is cheaper right now than the vengeance for 60.99 (gskill) e) gpu look at least for a 1650 super once the 3000 series comes out it’ll be around the same price if everything goes well for a 1050 ti f)maybe a s12ll from seasonic more familiar and know if safer

#

@dawn iron

#

Also I believe that ssd does not have dram

#

So when you save the extra buck with the cpu get a p2 nvme or a mp34 both solid options

#

But not a bad first sketch mine was way worse a year ago

dawn iron
#

Yes I was told to look into a new GPU and I will be getting something more high end when released.

wary geode
#

Yes

dawn iron
#

For SSD I’m looking for DRAM?

wary geode
#

Yes dram cache get a nvme too doesn’t hurt the budget with the cuts I’ve made

dawn iron
#

Okay thanks for the tips

wary geode
#

The good ones are mp34, P2, wd black, Samsung (but expensive)

#

Yeah any of those are good

#

No problem 🙂

dawn iron
#

It’s a start and I’m only going to upgrade when the time comes

wary geode
#

Yes

#

I’m looking at the WD Black

Mee6 deleted it

fast dust
#

Oh yeah cause it had a link in it

tawny parrot
#

Says I can't share websites on newegg

fast dust
#

Yeah you have to be level 3 to post links and images

tawny parrot
#

Whats wrong with the N1?

#

Gotcha ya.

fast dust
#

N1 is terrible. Terrible quality

tawny parrot
#

Oh ok. Good to know.

fast dust
#

Yeah, brands like EVGA don’t just make good models. They have some good ones, some bad ones, and some mediocre ones

tawny parrot
#

Thank you.

static flame
#

Looking at either a Noctua NH -U12a or ASUS Ryou 120mm AIO for a INTEL 10700. Which is better and fits in a
ASUS ROG Strix Z490-I Gaming motherboard

stoic island
#

U12a should have better cooling performance

#

A bit chunky tho

#

@static flame what case?

topaz frost
#

Hey does anyone have a pc part picker list for a little under a thousand USD?

stoic island
#

I can make one

topaz frost
#

if you would that would be appreciated

stoic island
#

For doing what tho?

topaz frost
#

Gaming/streaming if possible

stoic island
#

Any preferences?

#

And do you need built in wifi, or do you have Ethernet available

topaz frost
#

most bang for the buck but no

#

either or

stoic island
#

(Ethernet provides a better connection anyways, but people sometimes have their room too far from the router and need wifi)

topaz frost
#

id prefer wifi since my setup will be moved

little osprey
#

Any one know a motherboard that is some what cheap but really good for intel cpus

stoic island
#

@little osprey for which Intel CPU

#

Many different chipsets for different sockets for different generations

little osprey
#

i5 to i9

stoic island
#

Which generation of i5 to i9

#

Like a 10600k and 9600k have completely different motherboards they fit in

green gazelle
#

@little osprey gigabyte b365m ds3h for 8 and 9 gen, cheap but great

stoic island
#

A different socket even

#

Do keep in mind the memory cap on non-Z motherboards

little osprey
#

8th

stoic island
#

Do you need high freq ram or overclocking?

green gazelle
#

For an i7 or i9 you should get a better motherboard, for i3 or i5 the one that i told you its perfect, depends of if you will make overclock or not

little osprey
#

Thank you

stoic island
#

Here's a good enough wifi adapter if you don't have crazy gigabit wifi @topaz frost

topaz frost
#

ok thank you

little osprey
#

Whats the differents between overclock and not

stoic island
#

First if the processor has a K in its name, it can OC. If it doesn't, it can't

#

If it can't, just ignore it

little osprey
#

Oh ok

stoic island
#

Overclocking is just giving the CPU more power to run faster

little osprey
#

Oh so its good

stoic island
#

It requires tinkering, and isn't available, or is really bad on lower end boards

#

It's something that if you know how to do, it's nice to have, if you don't, you don't miss out on too much

#

But yes B365m ds3h is a good enough board for just plug and play

little osprey
#

Oh ok thanks

stoic island
#

The whole ds3h lineup is affordable and works, no fancy bits but it works

#

@little osprey just keep in mind it locks max ram frequency to 2666mhz

little osprey
#

Because my budget is 2500 i just wanna fit everything in

stoic island
#

If you buy faster ran you can underclock it as needed.

#

Wait wait wait

#

2500 USD?

little osprey
#

Canadian Currency

stoic island
#

B365m ds3h is more something for a 800usd build

little osprey
#

Oh

stoic island
#

2500 cad is about 1900$ usd

little osprey
#

Yeah

stoic island
#

Why are you looking at 8th gen intel chips? You can easily afford good 10th gen chips

little osprey
#

Oh that’s better

stoic island
#

PCs are expensive, but they're not so expensive that you need 2000$ for an entry PC lol

green gazelle
#

You can get an excellent pc with that budget

stoic island
#

Yea newer chips = better as a basic rule of thumb

fast dust
#

@rain raven did you actually get a Thermaltake smart

fast dust
#

Ahem. @rain raven... there’s a reason those are so cheap...

#

They suck

rain raven
#

if I may ask who is your source because from what i here there good but not bad

fast dust
#

I would definitely not ever use one in a 2060 build. That’s bad news man

little leaf
#

they are not good

fast dust
#

Dude, ask literally anyone in this server

#

They suuuuuck

little leaf
#

They are a plastic explosive for mid tier systems

still roostBOT
#
Mr.Mars#9258 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

fast dust
#

They might be okay for low end systems, but I consider yours moderately high-end, and you don’t want a cheap PSU powering that

rain raven
#

ok i am getting my money back

stoic island
#

We can find exact sources if you need it

#

Tt smart 80+ and white has some horrible issues iirc

fast dust
#

@rain raven a good PSU for that system would be something like
Antec Neo Eco Gold
Cooler Master MWE gold
Corsair CX (gray label)

stoic island
#

Neo Eco Gold Zen too

rain raven
#

ok thx

little leaf
#

if you can find a rmx 550 for 100 that would be good

stoic island
#

B5 should be good for cheap PSUs

fast dust
#

Yeah, zen, non zen, both work

stoic island
#

@little leaf last was 115$

rain raven
#

ok

fast dust
#

Although iirc non zen is a little better

stoic island
#

I don't remember the difference

fast dust
#

But pretty sure Neo Eco gold non zen 600w is around $70 rn

frozen axle
#

for performance would you guys recommend fractal design meshify c or cooler master td 500 mesh for performance probably running a dark rock pro cpu cooler

#

or neither case idk

little leaf
#

ttd500 is pretty good

fast dust
#

They perform very similar... if you add extra fans, for the meshify C that is

frozen axle
#

ah okay thanks!

stoic island
#

Td500 mesh for better stock performance

#

They're about the same if you add more fans to the Meshify C

frozen axle
#

and these cases would be a good fit for the dark rock pro cpu cooler right

#

dont want like clearence issues

stoic island
#

Td500 mesh fits I know that, check CPU cooler max height on Meshify C

frozen axle
#

will do

little osprey
#

Can someone make me a ryzen 7 3700x and rtx 2070s build? Rgb isn't necessary

fierce violet
#

@little osprey like a pc part picker list

#

?

little osprey
#

Yea lol

#

Sorry to confuse

fierce violet
#

Ok give me a sec

#

What is the budget?

#

1500?

little osprey
#

What's a good budget for that type of build? Would $1500 be good?

fierce violet
#

Ye

#

For rtx 2070

little osprey
#

Ok try $1500 pls

#

Ye

fierce violet
#

Do u want a aio or air cooling

vital warren
#

2070 super/ryzen 7 3700x u can build for like $1200

fierce violet
#

But u have to cheap out on a lot of part then

#

So 1500$ is better

vital warren
#

not really

fierce violet
#

@little osprey how much storage do u want

vital warren
#

can put an aftermarket cooler in if u need

cursive wharf
#

bad PSU given the parts

vital warren
#

yeah i was kinda iffy

cursive wharf
#

at least it isnt the GR one tho (500w and lower)

fierce violet
#

In the 1500$ list it have a aio

vital warren
#

aio isn't really necessary

cursive wharf
#

AIO doesnt do much in noise normalized perf

vital warren
#

but if he wants it go for it

cursive wharf
#

get a 2080S

#

instead

vital warren
#

^^

cursive wharf
#

or a 3900x

fierce violet
#

I can also fit a 2080

#

Yup

cursive wharf
#

Also that GPU is OOS in the $1225 list

fierce violet
vital warren
#

i'd get a b550

fierce violet
#

You can also add a better cooling in there

#

Tomahawk should be enough for this build

#

You can go up to r9

cursive wharf
#

tomahawk is bad

vital warren
#

i'd still go b550 as it's $10 cheaper

cursive wharf
#

bad SPU, only one M2 M, no M2 E, meh LAN controller, less RGB/PCIe ports then other boards

#

SSD is overpriced, case doesnt have that great of airflow, PSU has not that great capacitors and should be better given the budget

fierce violet
#

I guess

cursive wharf
#

also seems like 2080S cant be bought unless used due to poor stock. Should also wait a bit for the 3080(Ti)

fierce violet
#

This is a 2070s build since he say he only want 3700x with 2070s

vital warren
#

i'd just get something like an mp34 (512gb) for a few bucks more and it's much better

cursive wharf
vital warren
#

seems solid
