Anyone have any ideas why my RGB strip won’t turn on?

📎 image0.jpg

autumn wolf Aug 30, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

make sure what strip you have is supported by your board, theres a difference between 5v and 12v, and if supported, make sure you have it in the correct way

long stag Aug 30, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

Oh that’s good to know there are different strips

#

I probably bought the wrong lol I tried both ways

Thank you

its enough

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

what gpu

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 6:20 PM

does it post?

#

does the pc post when turning it on?

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Gpu is a 4gb sapphire r9 270x 4gb right now

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 6:20 PM

it should work

#

it might be with ur mobo

#

try another one

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

No post. All the lights and fans turn on, but no beeps or anything

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

like gabe said

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

its definitely a problem with your motherboard

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

The cpu and vga leds on the mobo come on. They're white

#

Ez debug or whatever they're called

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

wait

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Like it alternates between those two

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

it could be a problem with ur psu then. it could have fried or something

#

im really not sure

#

sorry

#

if you have another board and another psu try troubleshooting with that

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

what gabe said

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Yeah, I don't really

#

A bunch of old stuff I guess

#

Ill probably get a new psu since I planned on getting one eventually anyway

next kestrel Aug 30, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

it might be gpu too

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 6:48 PM

I’ve been trying to troubleshoot the issue as much as I can just seems to be no display.

@fresh garden

also check faqs

#

for more help

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Ok. hopefully I can get this figured out. Not sure why pc isn’t displaying anything. Def feel like I got a defective motherboard

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

what mobo

#

and cpu is it

#

and what is exactly happening

little leaf Aug 30, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

Check cph debug liggs

#

Make sure everything is plugged in

#

Then reset cmos

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

It’s an msi b450-a pro Max. And a amd 3200g. 16gb ram. Basically I installed everything outside the case and tested it to make sure it’ll turn on. And I got no display recognition from my monitor (tried 2 of em) The motherboard ez debug led has cpu light on hit I took cpu out and checked it and it looks good. I reset cmos, replugged every wire again to make sure it’s not a power issue.

#

Still had no display

little leaf Aug 30, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

Try one stick of ram

#

Then try the other stick

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Did that aswell

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Do you know if the CPU could be DoA

#

not just bent pins, but just straight up DoA

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

I haven’t checked the cpu in another motherboard. I have to see if my friend would let me come over n try on his build

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

Do that, because there's a decent chance the CPU could be dead

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

@ancient comet did you checked all the parts compatibility on https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ ?

System Builder

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Yes. Everything was compatible

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Some mobos need a bios flash out of the box to accept some processors

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

they said b450m pro max

#

max boards have pre-flashed bios

#

@ancient comet can you confirm that's the EXACT board you have?

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

I can confirm it is the exact motherboard. It says Ryzen 3000 ready on the box

#

My friend is out of town dammit I can’t try his cpu. But I found someone on Facebook marketplace who builds pc’s and offered him 20 bux to let me come over and see if my cpu will work on any of his builds. Atleast then I can see where the issue is and can Atleast confirm either cpu or motherboard is doa

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

Be careful no to bend a pin or you'll cry

#

Bcus newegg is gonna ask you to bend the knee and eat 🍆

wary geode Aug 30, 2020, 7:15 PM

No pins were bent

wary geode Aug 30, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

Good question any answer?

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

@wary geode hmm CPU or GPU? Far as I know fortnite is more dependant on GPU

wary geode Aug 30, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

lol some kid asked that XD

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Hey Steve. Sounds a lot like my problem. Msi board too

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Oh shoot Foreal?

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

My leds say cpu and vga

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

This issue sucks man idk why it’s happening

#

Mines just says cpu led

#

No display at all but everything turns on

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

Brand new 3600 and old video card that worked fine before

#

Yeah same here

#

Lights look beautiful though. And the fans and case are quiet. So that's nice

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

Yea. Man I haven’t even put the graphics card in because I literally didn’t get any display with the 3200G in and I was like wtf. I should have display I think it’s a defective motherboard cuz I’ve tried a bunch of thing

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Yeah, I don't want to send anything back. So I'm hoping it's my old psu causing it

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

I wouldn’t wanna wait and send anything back either man but hey if they sent me a defective part I want my money back / or a replacement cuz this is just getting annoying now. I have to just check the cpu in another motherboard and see if that’s the issue. Only way to find out I guess ?

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@ancient comet are you using the ingrated video in the CPU? Or external GPU?

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

The cpu has intergrated graphics. So at first I used no graphics card. And then I tried the graphics card after I got no display still

#

I bought a msi 570 8gb but that’s not the issue, I don’t believe it is. Half the time it wasn’t in and I was still having the no display issue

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

After you used external GPU still no display? Then it might not be the processor

#

Sounds to me like mobo

#

Have you tried to clear the CMOS?

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Yes

#

Did cmos still had the issue

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Man I will say it is defective mobo

#

It is very rare to get a defective processor

#

I got me few weeks ago a gigabyte 450 pro wifi and I love that thing

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

Yeah man I truly don’t know what the issue is, motherboard or cpu. What should I do guys?

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

📎 20200830_153227.jpg

#

@ancient comet is it sending any sound like beeping?

ancient comet Aug 30, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

No beeps

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

No beeps to me means no dead CPU

#

I insist issue is on the mobo

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

?

#

wdym

#

I'm still leaning towards dead CPU

#

@proud fiber what does no beeping have to do with not dead cpu

@proud fiber what?

#

how does no beeps mean no dead cpu ?

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

ikr

little leaf Aug 30, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

I could just mean the board doesn''t have a speaker

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

Far as I know constant beeping means dead CPU

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

??????

little leaf Aug 30, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

wat

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

Constant beeping is CPU overheating on msi boards

#

that's the only time it beeps

#

that's the only time I've ever had my board beep

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

I never used MSI, only asus and giggabyte

#

Msi should have in board speaker

little leaf Aug 30, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

no all boards lmao

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Yea not all boards do anyways

little leaf Aug 30, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

not*

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

I'm pretty sure the board doesn't beep at you if the CPU is dead

#

I'll look at manuals for gigabyte and asus boards rq

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Look this community is to try and help ppl, that's what I am trying to do based on my small knowledge

#

But seems you are more focused on trying to prove me wrong

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

We're focused on something that we've never heard of

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

Which I am more than happy if you do because that will add to my small experience****

#

Go ahead and let me know

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

I can't find a single thing on beeping to indicate dead CPU

#

https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_b550m-ds3h_e.pdf
Here's the manual I used to quickly look around

#

Gigabyte B550m DS3H since you said you used gigabyte

#

There's this if your case supports a speaker, but they also don't provide a chart for beep codes...

📎 unknown.png

#

this was what I was talking about with CPU overheating beeping

📎 unknown.png

compact verge Aug 30, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

What if I powered it on without a cpu at all

#

Would it beep or not beep

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

I doubt it'll beep

#

at all

#

There's no reason for it to beep

proud fiber Aug 30, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

Let's say I AM TOTALLY WRONG ON THE BEEPING SITUATION, I am still thinking CPU is not the issue. It is VERY RARE TO GET A DEAD CPU out of the box and it is more frequently to get dead MOBO.

MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI will work decently

X570 tuf

Corsair vengeance 2x8
Storage
WD 500 gb
@hoary flower id actually change a few things first
Don't get a hyper 212 evo. The ryzen 3600 comes with a cooler
Why such an expensive motherboard? Just get a cheap B550 like the DS3H.
Is that storage an SSD or an HDD? WD blue or WD green or WD red or what?
What speed ram and what Cas Latency?

Power supply can be a good 450w, like the Corsair CX450. If you want more wattage for future upgrades, CX550 is a good option too.
For case, whatever you like is fine. Fractal Design Focus G is a good option. Cougar MX-330G is good too. Phanteks eclips P300A mesh good too, etc.

1660 super performs almost identical to 1660 TI

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

dang i didnt know that

#

thanks for correcting me

#

i dont see an issue with it then

fast dust Aug 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

and the 1600 AF/2600s are stupid overpriced rn
But i guess the 3600 is too.
If the 3600 is $200 where you are, just jump to 3600X. It's only like $10 more

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Hi guys, hope things are going well. I am about to post my first list....

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

i got mine for 140

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

that mobo is way overpriced

#

and dont get a 212 evo cause the r5 3600 has a stock cooler already

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

ye

#

i couldn't find any other wifi boards

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

@fast dust I chose that motherboard based on the WiFi and such. But I opted the cooler because I didn’t know if it would perform well with the in box one. Storage is SSD blue. I’ll probably get a higher wattage power supply so I won’t have to upgrade that too if I upgrade other

#

In my area the prices are only going up

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

the stock is good

#

so i wouldnt get it

fast dust Aug 30, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

Get a B550 with wifi, or cheap B550 + PCIe WiFi adapter

wait crap u want wifi

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:39 PM

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

the stock cpu cooler is good on the r5 3600

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

i didnt know b550 had wifi

ripe quest Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

no way youll need a hyper 212 evo

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

mhm

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

Okay well that will save me $30!

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

lol

#

was your budget 1000?

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

But yeah it’s mainly the WiFi part of not I would opt for a cheaper mb

#

If*

#

Yes first build so not going crazy

#

With $$$

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:41 PM

mhm

#

1000 is good

3D artist, attempting to get back into the game industry as a dev, sorry i accidently pasted the list without explanation first.
So basically, I need a workstation for creating and quick rendering 3D props, and working with game engines such as Unreal, Unity,
and other ones, I work with 3D packages such as 3DS Max, Maya, will learn zBrush, also use substance painter and photoshop....

When it comes to CPU power and GPU power for rendering, I have not made up my mind, so I kind of am concentrated on having both CPU and GPU to be good.

With this list, I am looking at a little over $1340.00 more or less. A slight inconvenience for the my overall $1200 budget. But not too bad.

So this is my first attempt at making a list. I am learning, I want to build it so I know what I am putting into it,
and also learn the knowledge, experience, and pass it on.

Do you need wifi?

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

even if he does, switch to that b550 with wifi from before

#

idk if thatll work well with the 3800x

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

It is huh, I can wait for that part to come down, or just choose a different one, I am still learning here, never built a machine before. and kind of nervous, but having fun learning about the different components.

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

but it is cheaper

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

I could go with a ethernet connection, and buy a wifi router later

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

do you have a ethernet plugin for the wall

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

where i currently live, no @errant berry

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

or would you need to buy something to make an ethernet connection

#

ok

#

imo id stick with wifi then

#

@stoic island would the b550 with wifi be ok with the 3800x?

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

I will be moving out though within a year, and maybe area where I move to may, I should just set up to to keep ethernet connection huh, from there I can also do wifi easily after, outer hardware stuff

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

ya

#

i just dont know if the 3800x needs a good board

Better ram, cheaper SSD but still good, went b550 board, nicer case because why not, less overkill PSU

Hey y’all so I got an optiolex build with like 4 gn ram and a 5200 rpm hdd lol I’m gonna replace it and upgrade the ram they’re just temp with the i5 3300. But windows keeps crashing is that the hdd fault? I’m using the same install I use on my main

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:23 PM

That’s not bad! I meant to comment on that and budget wasn’t crazily passed plus. But what do you think of the one I just sent because it is beating my budget lol and it’ll give me more room to expand my setup

@stoic island so like now it’s just going black and restarting.....

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

the list you have isn't that bad, i would change the ssd as you can get a faster one for only a few more dollars, case seems fine, but what's the total overall budget you have @hoary flower?

#

do you already have peripherals like a monitor mouse keyboard etc?

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

ya its a little more for a m.2

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

To which ssd? I have keyboard mouse just not monitor

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

m.2

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

maybe something like a cruial p1 500gb ssd

#

its $60

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

mhm

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

decent speeds

#

or an mp34 512gb

#

both are around $60-66

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

a good monitor too for cheap is the spectre 144hz on amazon

#

its like 150

#

27" curved

#

idk the response time

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

yeah i was going to say like a sceptre 165hz ips for like $180 i think it was or an msi optix g241 for 190

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

ya

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:29 PM

Now in the future what are some upgradable options I can do? I’m completely new to the pc build world. I want to be easily able to upgrade without breaking the bank too

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

the processor is good

#

do the storage or gpu first

#

thats what id do

fast dust Aug 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

3600 can go up to a 2080 super without too much bottleneck

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

mhm

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

having 2.5tb of storage is great to have

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

facts

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

a good sized case with enough clearance for all the parts you have and extra room for future improvement

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

imma get the 3060s when it comes out

#

that would also be good

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Like basically if I upgrade I won’t have to change the whole entire build just to be compatible or so. I probably won’t need that much storage unless I become much more serious with pc gaming for now I’ll stick with that amount of storage.

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

500gb does go very quick

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

🥴

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

but you could always throw a 2tb hdd in whenever so yeah it's fine to cut it out for now

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

ya

#

true

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

only another $50 expense down the line

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Not bad

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

id do the gpu tho

#

especially with the new cards coming out soon

#

and supposedly its cheaper than before bc they used a different supplier

hoary flower Aug 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

Yeah but thanks so much! Y’all all big help

vital warren Aug 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

i would wait a little while until the new gpus come out just to see your options at that time again

little osprey Aug 30, 2020, 11:35 PM

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

...

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

intel for a budget build?

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:48 PM

Well, at that budget, if you want a decent PC, you're not gonna get 2666mhz+ xD

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:48 PM

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:48 PM

Because dem z490 boards are expensive

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Can he tolerate AMD

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

ohhh a 700 will be interesting with flight sim

#

idk the requirements for it

#

but im sure its steep

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

tell me about it. He is one of those people as soon as he gets money he wants to spent it on a pc haha. doesnt wanna save more

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

But can he tolerate AMD

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

he should save if he wants to run flight sim

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

I asked

#

I told him that but idk

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

at least at a decent fps

desert gulch Aug 30, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

Yeah

#

Around 1k would be decent for flight sim

wow i actually got the recommended card

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

oh

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

kinda wild

#

oh x plane is different

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

then that's easier

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

a lot different

#

ya

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

sorry about that. haha

desert gulch Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

Yeah

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

lol

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:50 PM

Anyone that comes around here nowadays and says "flight sim" we're gonna assume fs2020 xD

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

agreed

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

yea x plane and such is simpler

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

he doesnt like fs2020

desert gulch Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Why?

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

how

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

I'm making an AMD list

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

its so pretty

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

I have no clue

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

It's expensive

#

60$

desert gulch Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Yeah

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

game pass and its free

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

60?????? why so cheap haha

desert gulch Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

That's for standard

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

I never buy any games over 25$ hehe

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

I bought the premium deluxe

desert gulch Aug 30, 2020, 11:51 PM

Enjoy your handcrafted airports lol

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:52 PM

that only gets cheaper games on sale

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

lol

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

idc how much i spend on a game

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

But I still have a great libary never paying for any triple a games

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

ill normally buy the base game tho

#

im just waiting for sao alicization lycorsis to become optimized

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

is it good?

errant berry Aug 30, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

it is

#

just the anti cheat messes it up

#

bc its horribly optimized

#

i should be getting 100+ fps

#

i get like 40

#

but there is a workaround to disable it and play the game

@stoic island Thank you

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:58 PM

@stoic island I dont need a psu he said he wants to use his old one. Anything I can take that 74 and add to

stoic island Aug 30, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

2 options

#

upgrad CPU to a 3600

#

or do other adjustments such as getting a 2tb hdd for extra storage and getting a nicer case

thorny bronze Aug 30, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

Case is fine

#

Should I get another ssd?

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

@errant berry maybe the nullification magic thingy (tbh that looked nice visually but no idea how to explain it) only protected his upper body

#

You can get a 1tb MP34 instead of 512gb

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

ok

#

that actually lowers price haha

#

Can you make a intel one. Or just change mobo and cpu

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BcVdsk this is the list he put together.

System Builder

#

after I sent him that amd build

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

First, he's 50$ over budget, second, b365 board is going to hard cap his ram to 2666mhz @thorny bronze

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Ok

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

:p

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

he said $50 over is ok

#

Whats a better board to get then

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

Why intel lmao

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

I dont know.

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

Intel bad gor budget systems

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

I know haha but its what he wants

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Z390 board

#

If he's going down the wrong path, you can roast him later about it, that's one way to teach him xD

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Ok, I was gonna choose that just wanted to stay lower price

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Only z-motherboards for Intel don't limit ram to 2666mhz

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

Ok thats what I thought just wasnt sure fully

#

Whats a good cheap intel cpu that has 3.7 or more GHz

#

I am not very good on intel lower end side haha

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

Idek tbh

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

Im stuck haha

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

I wouldn't go below a 10600k for an Intel build because below that is stupid so....

#

Don't really know that territory

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

how do you guys figure out what kind of cooling fans are needed? Is that something I have to look at when getting the PC Case first?

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Uh not really

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

And after getting all the parts, and assembling then into the case alreadY?

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Airflow is just once it's good enough, it's good enough. And in an ordinary case with decent airflow, 2 fans in the front 1 fan in the back is the usual setup

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

oh ok, I know the AMD chip im getting already comes with a cooling fan,

#

oh ok

Airflow is just once it's good enough, it's good enough. And in an ordinary case with decent airflow, 2 fans in the front 1 fan in the back is the usual setup
@stoic island

#

so in this case for my PC list, I will need two to three more fans, I just go off the specs in the case I so choose

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Uhh cases usually come with fans installed

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

Lol Mr1 I have 3 intakes one exaust

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

Yea

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

oh ok

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

I mean two exausts

thorny bronze Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

Haha I think I have 6 intakes and one exhaust

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 12:26 AM

Hey, I have 3 intake 3 exhaust lol

#

is it possible to mount a 92mm fan diagonally on a 70mm fan mount Pizza

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

You all could think outside the box and offer suggestions to people that are based on your knowledge rather than give hardline answers. A computer build has the ability to be exactly what a member wants without having the absolute best in every category... I’ve seen some terrible comments here that are less than helpful. If someone in any line of commerce asks for something, you may suggest a solid “using this is better” item, but ultimately the customer is right. It’s no one’s fault but theirs later if they are suck at a certain MHz ram or have a bottlenecked CPU.

#

Not without customization @lyric thistle You would need to pre drill a small hole, and then use a small shank self tapping screw. Ensure you don’t go into the fan housing, or damage any mobo components. Why do you need a diagonal mount?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Now, here is a fun detail for you, nothing prevents you from weighing in

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Since I just joined @foggy hazel I thoroughly plan to. Thanks 😉

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

as for "hardline" answers: Its a mixed bag

#

it really depends on the interaction/response you get from the person asking for help

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

The best now is not the best forever, but with the pandemic many people are looking for a “value” build to meet their needs

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

some will ask something that "looks" like a open talk for debate

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

True

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

but what they are actually asking for is someone else to make the decision for them

#

which i personally dont do

#

i will happily inform them about the upsides and the downsides

#

but the choice is theirs

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

True... I am looking to gradually build a $4k+ system, and I’ve been on the roller coaster as to AMD or Intel for weeks now. It’s been one hell of a ride

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

the regular/standard question for that would be: what do you plan to actually use the machine for?

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

High end gaming/streaming. I’ve been over 4,200 almost every time. Dual GPU’s in SLI is one of the biggest cost inflators

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

you are hopefully aware that SLI/xfire is just about useless right?

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

I have a single monitor, I have also been looking at 2 split cards for dual monitors as a second build option

#

That is another $350+ for my second monitor

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

You dont need 2 cards for 2 monitors

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

you are aware that you dont need a card per monitor right?

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

You can have 4 monitors per card or more

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

What is the load on the card with 4 monitors?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

in desktop mode? nothing you will notice

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

Nothing at all

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

it does quite literally not care

#

this is with 3 monitors hooked up.

Will there be a noticeable difference between a 2080 super 8gb and 2080 Ti 11gb? I’ve seen some benchmark tests that show a 15-30 FPS difference between 1080p and 4k

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

Decent

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

there are a couple of things that seem to signal that you are not quite aware of what exactly it is you are asking there @warped prism

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

Witb a 4k budget you can easily get a 2080 though

#

Ti

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

The benchmark tests were among a series of about 20 current top games, the 15-30fps difference was average among all games. This was in conjunction with a 10,900k intel cpu. I believe it was 32gb ram, not sure of the mobo as I don’t believe that was mentioned.

#

The difference was between each card running at high settings

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

Next gen GPUs :D

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

unless you are going to be playing those exact 20 games, then that benchmark does not really tell you much

#

and even IF you are going to playing those 20 exact games, it still doesnt tell you much.

#

one of the games could easily be having horrendous performance.

#

what i am getting at here is this: Details matter.

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

Just keep in mind everything varies depending on the exact situation.

warped prism Aug 31, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

I understand, I want the ability to play whatever I want without constraints. The questions is what is the primary difference between the 2080 super 8gb and 2080 Ti 11gb and would I notice a difference. I understand there are other variables and am trying to make an educated decision. Variable aside, how do the cards compare? That is the primary goal in the asking of my question

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

IF you go beyond 1080p, you should fairly easily "see" a difference between the two. It is completely different IF that difference is worth the current price of the 2080TI thou.

#

and what i said above, also applies to past generations of cards, and future generations of card

#

there is always "some" cards in a given generation that are simply bad value.

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

Next generation cards will likely make 2080 super and 2080ti bad buys at their current price.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

they perform lovely, but you get to pay a LOT for a small % increase

#

@stoic island which is why i said what i did about it applying to past and future gens.

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

(Just gonna point it out, easy to gloss over that part, PC parts revolutionize across every generation)

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:36 AM

aye, agreed.
