#

Better motherboard, better ram, better SSD, better PSU, swapped in a cheaper monitor to save a buck, your choice between IPS and VA really.

Wait for next gen GPUs plox

Naed is best teachie

Forks is best techie-mod

I'd also grab a better PSU...

#

i want to stick with intel

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

ofc you can go intel

#

but pay attention to the PSU part

#

Those are the PSUs I would put in the filter

#

I consider those the best consumer PSUs have to offer

#

I also like the case for the good airflow and included fans

#

I like the SSD for good pricing and good specs

#

Ram speed doesn't matter as much for Intel so you can ignore that part

wraith trail Aug 31, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

ok

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

I see you spent time on that PSU filter

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

lel

#

not really tho

#

I'd like to add the swath of seasonic focus PSUs but too lazy, so just focus gold

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

Fair enough

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

that's all the PSUs I usually look for first when I make a list tho

#

RM/RMx, d.f., ion+, xpg core reactor, than focus gold

wraith trail Aug 31, 2020, 2:02 AM

wraith trail Aug 31, 2020, 2:03 AM

i did not make this list

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

A bit lower end PSU imo, so is the G1+

hm 34 esports duo shouldnt me much more for another fan on the cpu cooler

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:04 AM

OlOy is decent, but I personally just don't like the heat spreaders on em

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

Need to look into Intel mobos at some point, but Intels main point is tuning everything for better perf. Such as 4000 cl16 ram, nice core/uncore OC, and such

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

That is true, but also the Intel ~~fanboys~~ people who just like the 5% gain in games

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

Which also, are you going 240Hz display?

deep skiff Aug 31, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

if u wanna tune the cpu id go e die or b die

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

If not, Intel is kinda eh unless going 240Hz display.

I NEED HELP

#

Whenever i try to reset windows it keeps saying it couldn’t

#

But why

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Very vague on details there man. What's the full error?

#

How far does it get through the reset?

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Computers are messy things, we need more information before we know what's going on :D

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

Ok gimme a sec

#

Whenever i run a game

#

It says critical error has occurred and the process has to be terminated

#

Or it says d3d9.dll is missing

#

Or it says SHELL32.dll is missing

#

Everything works fine

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

or

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Except for gaming

#

And it says 7-ZIP data error

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:11 AM

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

ok idk

#

what graphics card u got

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

simple answer: do a fresh install of your windows installation. Because "something" is truly borked (by the sounds of it) @clever root

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

If you're looking to reset anyways it could be worth installing windows via a USB drive

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

I did it on a usb drive

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

what’s ur gpu

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

But like every time i try to reset it never works

#

Msi 1660 super

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

ok

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

So you used the Windows media creation tool?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

@cursive wharf can you take this? i am out for the night.

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Did you get the right drivers?

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Ok wait lemme explain

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Ok

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

@foggy hazel I'll try

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

So i go to setting right

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Good night Naed.

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Yeah

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

best of luck mate(s)

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Then i say reset pc

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Ok
@desert gulch damn man

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

Then it says like delete all my files and stuff

#

And i say ok

#

Then it starts the process

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

Why did you reset?

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

U have to buy a prebuilt

#

Hi

#

JK

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

But like at 40% it says i ran into a problem and couldn’t delete everything

@silent sundial if your gonna give advice at least make it helpful

:/

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

Does anyone know a fix?

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

prebuilt was a joke

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

Ive been working on it for a couple of weeks

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

how

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

*days

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

search on YouTube

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

But why do you need to reset it?

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Clean install / windows repair via the media creation tool (or whatever it's called) might be your best option

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

@deep skiff I think the link to media creation tool likes to not work on mobile. So can't link it

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

windows got borked from the sound of things

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Ok

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

I want to reset it because something called d3d9.dll Is not there anymore

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Do you have another desktop or laptop? @clever root

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

I think its corrupted

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

d3d9 sounds like some dx9 drivers

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Desktop

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Family one or friends

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

Can someone send d3d9 to him?

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

It’s mine

@cursive wharf https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO ?

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

But if someone had same GPU would it work?

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

anyways best just clean install Ryan

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

No no, I mean another one for you to use for like 30 mins or so

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

Yeah ig

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

messing around with files in there could have conflicting configs from different PCs

#

and bork it further

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

Best just use team ram mr1

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

Does anyone have any advice

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

Agreed

#

Clean install

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

why buy Rx it’s only good for gaming

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

How

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

Clean install of windows, or the repair tool thing

#

wipe the drive, reinstall windows

#

that's a clean install.

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Do you have two drives?

clever root Aug 31, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

No

#

It doesn’t work

desert gulch Aug 31, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Oof

#

What's on your boot drive?

silent sundial Aug 31, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

#

cause mines ass

cursive wharf Aug 31, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

@clever root alright, so do you have a second family/friend/personal PC that you can use for like 30 mins or so? You need to get a USB drive and install the Windows installer onto it via the Windows Media Creation tool linked by Nachos.

#

#muffinfacts

dry tinsel Aug 31, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

actually as i recall what we know as an english muffin is an american riff on the crumpet

#

the crumpet is kind of a yeast batter

#

english muffin is a bit of a dough sprinkled with semolina to prevent sticking

rough loom Aug 31, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

#

crumpet looks lieka spongy pancake

Note:The Fractal Design Ion+ 560 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply length of 150mm is within the Cooler Master MasterBox MB311L ARGB MicroATX Mid Tower Case maximum of 325mm, but exceeds the recommended length of 140mm. Please verify that the connector locations on the power supply will not interfere with the structure of the case.
Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.

those bad?

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

might mean that there isn't a lot of room where the cables attach to the PSU, so they'll be making some tight bends right where they plug in

what does the front panel look like? is it solid or does it have all the slits and mesh and all that

if it's the solid front panel, airflow isn't great. if it's the fancier one, it's actually pretty good

What i was thinking. Really just unsure about wear and tear. How long does a cpu normally last in good conditions? As long as you use it?

#

Looking to build a new pc with used cpu and gpu

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

I'm putting together a list and intend on starting to search for deals and purchase parts within the next two weeks. I'm upgrading from an i5 8400/1060 to a Ryzen 5 3600X (or 7 3700X, unsure yet)/probably a 3070, with the intention of building custom loop in about three months.

The only things I'm taking from my old system are my M.2 and my SSD. The old system is built in an In Win A1 and includes a Commander Pro/4x LL120s, and I know I can get around $1000 for it (Canadian) which offsets a bit of my costs.

The part I'm torn about is even though I can afford the build I can save a little more by selling my Nintendo Switch. I don't play it often, bought it mostly for Zelda/Animal Crossing, with the games and accessories I have I can probably get close to $800. That and the old PC cover more than half my costs for upgrading to this new rig. As fun as the Switch is, I prefer PC gaming and always have, but is it logical to sell it so I can feel less guilty about dropping near $2400 on a new PC?|

Edit: $2400 because if I'm building in 2020 I'm definitely going x570, Lian Li O11, six new white LL120s + Commander Pro, 4x16GB RAM, all color matched to look nice.

Those are choices that you have to settle by yourself.

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

@foggy hazel I'm trying, but I feel like I'm too close to make a judgement =/

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

there is none of us that can live your life for you

#

and since we cant do that, we cannot make those choices for you either

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

That's fair, I was more hoping that maybe somebody else had been in a similar position with the Switch and had insight - regrets about selling something they barely used, or relief that they didn't.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

i have done that multiple times over my life

#

but, the impact of it is a personal one, as in, how much it has impacted me depends on the person

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

Myself as well - I only bought this one six months ago, I had to sell my first Switch to cover a month of rent while I was in college.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

then you have the experience, you just dont want to commit to a path/choice.

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

And since getting it back I've barely touched it, apart from Animal Crossing for like a month lol.

#

Yes, exactly that

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

nothing i can help with friend :)

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:43 PM

Lmao, well thanks anyway c:

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

look at things and where you see your life going for the next year+

#

and base it on something like that

#

so that you are making it certain that it is not just a knee-jerk reaction

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

The only thing I'm interested in with the Switch is BotW 2. The only other perk of owning it is I've moved into my moms basement (I'm doing a postgrad online, can work and not pay rent here while studying) and my two young siblings would have the opportunity to play some games with me - neither has shown much interest.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

as i said previously, you are the one that has to make the choice :)

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:47 PM

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

:)

civic kiln Aug 31, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

I feel like you should sell it but maybe keep the games, you can always get a switch lite for about 200 in the future if you want to play again @lusty glacier

lusty glacier Aug 31, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

That's a fair point

errant berry Aug 31, 2020, 1:50 PM

ya they are cheap so it isnt hard to get another

jagged ember Aug 31, 2020, 2:00 PM

or, use an emulator

#

bet you could find a switch one if you looked hard enough

errant berry Aug 31, 2020, 2:34 PM

i think they are still developing it

#

but ya when its fully released thats a good idea

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 3:07 PM

so amd or nvidia

Hey everyone im new here to this discord, Im currently trying to build a PC, Its going to be a slow process and take me many months(due to a cruddy job and bills). But so far i have a nzxt case, and some ram. Anyone have any suggestions to go from there? Also anyone thats willing to donate to the cause ^.^ lolll. Side note-- does a ryzen 7 3700x, and a 1660 TI is that a good pairing?

analog hearth Aug 31, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

mmm NZXT case

rustic garnet Aug 31, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

yes the H510 to be exact seemed like a good choice, good wire management and i like the mesh it has for the intake

vital warren Aug 31, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

i'd get a 2060 over that 1660 ti

#

same price pretty much

analog hearth Aug 31, 2020, 5:01 PM

the H510 doesn't have mesh in the for front intakes lol

rustic garnet Aug 31, 2020, 5:01 PM

it sure does

#

the one i bought does

#

on the bottom, on the side, and one for the psu

@rustic garnet save up your money instead, and buy all the parts at the same time.

those sides aren't enough lol

😦

#

2060 > 1660 ti eh

how much is the 1660 ti you're looking at?

rustic garnet Aug 31, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

279.99

vital warren Aug 31, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

i would just get a 2060 then

#

2060 is 300

#

1660 super is good as well at around $230 and pretty much performs like a 1660 ti if you want to save a little money

Can you mount a 140mm fan next to the 120mm one in the front of a meshify c? Or do the fans have to be the same size or something? Sorry, noob question

the aorus box's are a little smaller and i don't think they were intended to swap gpus, idk if it's possible but there is a chance, i do think it would be better to just get an empty cage

@rustic garnet what mesh in the h510 lmfao

There's no mesh in the h510

Holes in the metal is not mesh

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 6:11 PM

No real mesh anywhere imo

#

Filter isn't exactly mesh

#

Mesh allows for airflow

#

Like I wouldn't call the front panel on 220t airflow mesh

#

That's still a metal panel with holes in it

#

Granted that's a lot of holes that allows for decent airflow

Yes but I don't think the used market will change much in the time

#

or if they are getting more money wait

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 7:06 PM

New market for GPUs don't really change when new gen comes out, but Used market usually gets flooded with last-gen parts, Used-Market-Wise

@young bluff as has been asked before. What mainboard do you have?

#

@ancient comet did you get an answer for your question?

#

if not, then contact @fresh garden they are the ones that can actually help you @ancient comet

young bluff Aug 31, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

@foggy hazel asus p7p55m

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

okay.

#

Next question: you mentioned that you had bought DDR4 ram?

#

Just so you are aware. That does NOT work with that specific mainboard.

little leaf Aug 31, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

that motherboard is ddr3

whole zenith Aug 31, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

hey sorry asrock b450m pro

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

@stoic island you have a catch here, right above this

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

For pro4, it's 4.2 that supports xt CPUs @whole zenith

#

Uh what do you mean Naed?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

i meant that you had a answer(catch) for your earlier statements (in case you werent bouncing the channels)

whole zenith Aug 31, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

ok ty

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Oh I saw your response on h410 mobos if that's what you mean

#

I'm mostly bouncing around where messages appear :D

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

no no, i specifically meant the message from Malo :)

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

Ah haha I got in the channel just in time to see he was typing so I responded :)

#

I keep remembering the ds3h as ASRock for some reason, as I expect ASRock boards to be cheap :(
Anyways, gigabyte bios wise, F40+ should so fine, F51 increases support

cinder rover Aug 31, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

was wondering if anyone can help. I have a cyberpower PC with wifi...I lost the universal network antenna and can't figure out which ones are comparable....does anyone have an idea?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

contact cyberpower

#

that is quite literally what their support department is there for

cinder rover Aug 31, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

I did they only build and told me universal network antenna

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

if you are in doubt, ask them for details

#

again, dont worry, you are not the first or the last that will ask them about that.

cinder rover Aug 31, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

ok, I will call them again to get better details.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

because IF there are any "quirks" in their implementation, then they are the ones that know :)

cinder rover Aug 31, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

got it...understand...thanks

formal plover Aug 31, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Hello

#

So, what's going on with your pc?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

you are very welcome and best of luck

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

When I jumpstart my PSU, it starts right up no problem even with my rgb fans hooked up to it. But when I plug my PSU into my motherboard with nothing else plugged into it but the PSU, it won't start at all even using a screw driver to try and turn it on.

formal plover Aug 31, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Is you cpu power plugged in?

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

yes

formal plover Aug 31, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

That's strange

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

So the board lights up for a split second when I turn the PSU on, but when I plug my rgb fans into it there is no light. Both situations the motherboard doesnt turn on.

formal plover Aug 31, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

So you're saying you need your fans to be plugged in, in order for it to turn on?

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

read again

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

No, the fans are ust to see if it turns on.

formal plover Aug 31, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

oh

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

You're trying to jump the motherboard front panel on/off correct?

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

yes.

#

the button doesnt work from the case, so Ive tried statring it without it using a screw driver

#

I wanted to see if everything works before I put the cpu in.

#

So far I have put in the RAM, the PSU and the buttons to turn on the motherbaord into it with no success of it turning on

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

which board?

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

One thing I forgot to say but the RAM is rgb too and when I press the refresh button, those turn on after a minute, but nothing else

#

the RGB on the PSU doesn't even turn on or the an on it either.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

let me ask you this:

#

You currently have a mainboard with ram plugged in

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Its a GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

and when you power it on, nothing happens right?

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

I took the ram out to see if it would turn on because of those and no success

#

yes

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

congrats, thats the expected behaviour.

#

the board is an enabler for the parts

#

it doesnt "do" anything by itself

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

So right now everyting is unplugged from the motherboard, just the PSU

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

and nothing will happen IF you turn on the board

#

because there is "nothing for the board to enable"

#

IF you read the manual, you will see why cpu is the first thing they recommend installing.

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

The board has rgb on it too

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

does not matter

#

plug in your cpu

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Oh alright

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

in summary: Please read the manual, there is a reason you get one with the mainboard :)

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

It's a high expectation these days :D
But it's very true that you should read the manual when you encounter issues

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Alright guess I should have, but the reson why I didn't was becasue I ordered the stuff for the build and the CPU arvived today so Ill go pick it up and get back to you guys.

#

Thank you guys for the help. Should have came to you guys first before I spent 4 hours looking on the internet for a solution.

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

best of luck :)

#

and you are very welcome :)

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Heh, half of the challenge is knowing what question to ask, and the other half is actually looking for the answer :)

foggy hazel Aug 31, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

aye

gentle harbor Aug 31, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

Exactly thats why I love human beings instead of virtual assistants.

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Virtual assistants are just really bad at noticing problems they weren't asked to find

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 9:29 PM

If someone can help me I need a new SSD for computer and wondering if it fits

#

A 2.5 or should I buy a NVMe M.2 PCI ou SATA

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

@kind flax anyways check all power connectors esp CPU power, and do you have debug LEDS?

#

@weak iris what motherboard?

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

What's the best $1700 build?

#

Or $2000

weak iris Aug 31, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

I don’t know hot to find the name of the motherboard

#

They don’t say in the product description

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

What did you buy @weak iris

#

@little osprey depends on what you do, and also wait for tomorrow for the Nvidia Announcements

weak iris Aug 31, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

@stoic island sent you a pm with link

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Anyways

#

from that 1 pic

#

you took a picture of a M.2 E key slot, which usually can't have an SSD, and are used for wifi cards, BUT

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

Ok

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

it is labeled M.2_3, so I assume there are 2 other M.2 slots

#

hmm

#

their site isn't too useful

#

lemme grab a random pic and tell you what to look for

calm crypt Aug 31, 2020, 11:01 PM

@stoic island u were helping me yesterday with a optiolex build and windows crashing it’s doing the same thing and I tried the fix from fork it’s giving code system service exception and saying win32kbase.sys failed

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Oml

#

Windows do be forky

calm crypt Aug 31, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Lmao

#

U got any clue what it is is it just the hdd

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

Tbh either corrupt drive stuff, or borked windows

#

From the sounds of it

calm crypt Aug 31, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

Ok yea bc this is an old ass drive it’s the only 7200 I got lying around tho I might just order another off amazon it’s a build for my bro just to have sum to play fortnite in so it doesn’t need to be fast lol thanks for your help brother

#

And like sometimes it just shuts down the pc

#

And reboots

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

Well, even so you should prob get like a 512gb MP34 lol

#

SSD Boot drive is really nice

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

is building your own pc cheaper or getting a prebuilt one then upgrading

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

If your budget is above like 800$, building your own PC is very likely to be much cheaper

#

if your budget is like 400$, buying a Optiplex and upgrading is a great budget option.
Optiplexs aren't prebuilt gaming PCs, they're old office machines

#

Getting prebuilt gaming PC and upgrading is very rarely ever a worthwhile option

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

are those specs cheap for $1299

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:20 PM

#

I'm guessing that's 1200$

#

ha no

#

You can do better with 3600+2060s at 1000$ (if you built yourself)

#

and that slow ram would be quite sad

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

ya

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

Anyways

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:21 PM

oh and 600w psu

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:21 PM

Wait for Nvidia announcement tomorrow

that's a given

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:21 PM

any good ram options for me?

i was thinking gskil maybe

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:22 PM

Are you planning to build yourself?

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

ya

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

Do remember Intel cheaper boards limit ram freq

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

ok

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

but AMD side, 3600c16 ram is great

calm crypt Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

Lol ye boot drive ssd nice but he only paying for gpu which is a 1050 so 👀

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

lol

#

anyways I'll make an example list rq

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

i want a sata ssd for boot and then m.2 for games

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

brb

#

I'd go M.2 for main games and boot, then a harddrive for random other crap

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

o

#

k

#

ill wait for the list

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

yea

#

no point of a 2.5 inch ssd

#

the m.2 is for games and boot

#

cuz u gonna be pissed when it take a while to start windows

#

and then use a hard drive for crap

#

like said above

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

ya i already have some hdds

It's kinda sad I'm not as up to date on prices and stuff as usual so I can't pump out a good list every minute like I used to :P

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

well i dont need a hdd cuz i already have two and i wanted like a 2tb m.2

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

I'll slap in a 1tb NVMe drive, I doubt you'll need a 2tb m.2 drive lol

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

ok lol

#

i just like lots of games

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

I have a 1tb NVMe drive and I've filled like 600gb or so of stuff, rest goes on HDD

#

I even have MW on the SSD

#

and GTA

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

ok

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

but games like borderlands I don't play as often goes on the HDD

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

also when is the 3060 coming out

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Announcement tomorrow

#

retailers having them in stock, I assume preorder for a week or two

#

maybe a bit more

#

we'll see tomorrow

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

2000 series was a month delay between announcement and ship date

#

so we might see that again

#

might be shorter

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

we'll see

#

no idea tbh

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

ok

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

just to be prepared for worst case, don't be surprised if it's a month at least

#

because if it is a month, people will rage even though there's precedent from last time

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Can you make a pcpart list for around a $2000 pc? thanks @stoic island

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

For doing what kinda things?

#

I'll prob have to slap in a 1200$ 3080 placeholder tho, even though we're not sure on the pricing for the upper budget cards

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

1440p to 4k gaming, programming, photo and video editing, maybe streaming

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

everything will be easier when MSRP gets released :P

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

ya

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

hmm

#

While I would say Intel for 2000$ pure gaming, video editing would really like dem AMD cores

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

hm

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

I'll make 2 lists

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

ok thanks

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

gawd damn I forgot how easily Intel builds get expensive lmfao

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

lol

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

this is what I would've thought to be under 2000$
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vXL9f9

#

but is actually 2400$

#

ick I'll work on the 2000$ AMD build first and thin that down in terms of price

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

ok

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

gonna go for 32gb of ram in these builds because video editing can take more

meager pumice Aug 31, 2020, 11:42 PM

how would you guys rate this budget setup

@ancient comet how did you figure out your ram was the problem?

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

i did almost the same thing, just went for a 3700x and different case/psu

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sTHG7T

System Builder

#

same motherboard/ram/storage, heh

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

@little osprey I'd get a better PSU, check the PSU tier list pinned in here, grab a 3100 for cheaper and better gaming perf, and try to get a better GPU such as like a 1650 super if at all possible

#

heh lol

#

you really cheaped out on the PSU there eh

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

oh i did the P1 instead of the MP34

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

Case is all optional, I just love the TD500 mesh for any build 1000$+

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

i was trying to remember which corsair is higher on the tier list, i thought it was the CXM gray

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

the rx570 is the equivalent to a gt 1650 just a bit older and cheaper

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

lmfao ofc not

#

CXM has coil whine issues

#

@little osprey 1650 super beats 570 and 580

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

is it the CX then? i'll have to check

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

not from what i was told

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

the s stands for super, just shortened

spiral zealot Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

that was the thing i wasn't sure about

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

plus the 3100's were out of stock so i can't get those

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:46 PM

wut

115$ like a second ago

oh that's right, it's the RM and CX's that are the better ones, not the CXM

#

yeah scratch that PSU in my list

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

lel

#

Ion+ is just an amazing PSU tbh

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

this what guy who i was talking to said about the 570. "GPU is an RX 570. It's older however performs better than the 1650 still AND you can usually get them for really cheap used. I use a 570 that I got for $80 and it treats me well!"

#

so idk

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

1650 does not mean 1650 super

#

those are different GPUs

#

1650 is actually kinda bad

#

the super is good

little osprey Aug 31, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

yeah i never said 1650 super

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:49 PM

then what's with this???

i must have not seen the super

i am practically blind

stoic island Aug 31, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

@spiral zealot basically, Corsair PSUs that start with R and A are just amazing

#

and then C is good

#

CXm has coil whine issues

#

Other companies get messy

you know what, I'm gonna make a selection of all the good PSUs I know to be at decent prices around 650-750w

Actually, @cursive wharf , want to take a look over the selection here?

the ones that just say "Focus" are either GM, GX, or PX

i am getting a ryzen 5 2600

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:03 AM

actually spent some time on it this time

little osprey Sep 1, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

When I install a new CPU the drivers should install themselves right?

#

I just wanna make sure 😂

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

CPUs themselves don't need drivers

compact verge Sep 1, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

So if the memory I am trying to use isn't listed on the compatibility list on the msi site, is it definitely not compatible?

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

no

#

Not on the list = not tested

#

My kit isn't listed for my B450 gaming pro carbon ac, still works great at rated speeds.

compact verge Sep 1, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

Ok. Also if it isn't compatible, shouldn't the dram led on the motherboard be lighting up instead of vga and cpu

next kestrel Sep 1, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

yes

#

unless you're trying something like running DDR3 ram on ddr4 board

Nope

Has anyone messed with the Thermaltake Tower 900 Black Edition?

#

Trying to figure out the card slots if they even have them for the back.

#

For like video editing and other componets

compact verge Sep 1, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

I downgraded my bios, and now I actually get a signal to my monitor every few seconds. It's just turning the light on the monitor to green and then it says no signal though

#

I wonder what that means

Anyone know a good AM4 Socket ATX Motherboard that is good for a 3600 and a 5600xt?

foggy hazel Sep 1, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

@patent mica what would you like to know?

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xm7PMc looks good to me. Other than processor price being unconfirmed, most other parts are what I am 100% going with. Especially the case. I really like the look of it

System Builder

#

if when I get it the 3600 drops in price I'll go with that. 3600x is only $10 mor currently.

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

don't do that PSU

#

get a better PSU

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

Also if WD SN750 drops in price I'll go with that.

#

$1000 is my budget so there has to be compromises

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

People I know had really bad experiences with EX950, and grab a MP34

#

MP34 is cheaper anyways

deep skiff Sep 1, 2020, 12:35 AM

mp3444444444444

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:36 AM

Save money by going non-rgb ram

deep skiff Sep 1, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

@stoic island ur gonna lose it when the mp35 comes out

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

I didnt pick the ex950. I picked the ex920

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

You can get a better PSU without spending much more

#

meant to say 920

#

but still

#

Mp34 is better at same specs

#

and I don't trust HP after both of the people I know who use HP SSDs had it corrupt on them

#

@stoic island iirc PX had them high transient issues. FX did too, and I feel like just the [thing]X will have issues thus maybe GX? I'll look into it soon cuz busy

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

I'll look into it soon too, but I thought it was the focus plus stuff that had some issues

#

this thing?

📎 unknown.png

#

Anyways ping me back with your findings Hei

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

I hope the SN750 goes back down in price. It is the SSD I want the most.

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Why not a mp34

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Better specs.

#

good price to performance from what I read

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

... not on write endurance xD

#

I'll check rated speeds again, but MP34 do be like 66$

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

I am just mostly gonna be gaming

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

3470/3000 on sn750

#

3000/2600 on mp34

#

Basically no difference tbh

vital warren Sep 1, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

i was going to get mp34 but snagged an sn750 for $52 a few weeks ago

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

Holy hell what's with the specs on the ex920

#

3200/1800

#

That write speed is surprising

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

I also like that the SN750 has 5 year warranty. mp34 only has 3

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Sn750 is nice, but I'd still grab mp34 over ex920 any day

delicate sail Sep 1, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Mm710 or glorious model

#

What's your preference?

plush wigeon Sep 1, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zY7RZf this is the updated list. When the time comes to purchase and the SN750 is a good price I'll switch to that. Same for 3600 processor.

weak grotto Sep 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

foggy hazel Sep 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

they could easily slot the cards in ABOVE, as in way way above the current ones

deep skiff Sep 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

just put it at 1k so it makes it look like a better deal ez

foggy hazel Sep 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

it all depends on performance.

little leaf Sep 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

I would just wait and see

#

Even so

#

3900x isnt needed

weak grotto Sep 1, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

would it be worth replacing the 3900x with a 3800xt?

deep skiff Sep 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

3800x and 3800xt arent really good value vs 3700x

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

Yea

#

3700x is great value still

deep skiff Sep 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

and since the silicon has been getting better the 3700x is pretty decent at overclocking

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

3800x is like +200mhz boost clock, and 3800xt another 200mhz on top xD

#

not really worth it

weak grotto Sep 1, 2020, 1:25 AM

yea I suppose so or should i wait for 4th gen becaasue im building around chrismas

3600c18 = 3200c16 in effective first word read times

#

both 10ns

weak grotto Sep 1, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

Ok

deep skiff Sep 1, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

they have the same latency (cl18 kit is a higher mhz), but infinity fabric on amd prefers 3600mhz over 3200mhz so it will perform a little better

stoic island Sep 1, 2020, 1:28 AM

rose sentinel Sep 1, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

well, 500$USD is average! as you go you could buy better parts over time. a motherboard is what EVERYTHING connects too, CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, HDD/SSD, and expansion cards. currently theres two large cpu platforms at the moment, INTEL and AMD

#

these two CPU manufacturers are what youre going to decide which motherboards youre going too pick, an AMD cpu wont fit into a INTEL mobo

500$?
