#

Getting my first ever mechanical keyboard this month (I’m 34) and I can’t decide between cherry reds And browns. I play mostly FPS.

little osprey
#

how loud do u want ur keys to be

#

do u enjoy the clacking and hard pressing of ur keys to make sure u hit the key or do u want it soft

#

@granite imp

stoic island
#

Neither are soft, one just goes down smoothly, and one has a tactile click

little osprey
#

ye

stoic island
#

all personal preference

#

no performance differences on cherry switches

little osprey
#

by soft i meant smoother hits

#

to activate a key

stoic island
#

ya it's not like o ring kinda smooshy soft

little osprey
#

ye

#

mechanical in general will never be easy hits

granite imp
#

I want something that is very responsive

#

Quick movements

little osprey
#

so on my pc build i got a keyboard that replicates a laptop

stoic island
#

@granite imp actuation points are the same

little osprey
#

where the keys arent popping out

stoic island
#

that's what I mean by same performance

granite imp
#

Okay ima go browns then

#

Thank you!

little osprey
#

ye droq keys are same

stoic island
#

Cherry keys they are

#

different brands might have wacky actuation points

little osprey
#

ye

granite imp
#

Plan on getting the Asus rog strix scope keyboard

little osprey
#

not bad

#

i am out of the mechanical keyboard space so @stoic island would have to answer ur questions

#

me personally i hate em

stoic island
#

heh

#

I dunno tbh

#

@deep skiff knows the stuff

#

I only know basics

little osprey
#

well then lol

granite imp
#

I’m currently using a sub $30 steel series keyboard

stoic island
#

Well, nachos will tell you every prebuilt keyboard is bad but

granite imp
#

It’s been okay, just rather large, and i like the enlarged ctrl key on the scope

little osprey
#

wait u can build ur own?

granite imp
#

Lol yea

little osprey
#

that must be annoying to do

#

oh ye mechanical

#

keys r deattachable

#

nvm lol

granite imp
#

You’ve never seen the videos on Facebook or Ig of peoples keyboards they build?

little osprey
#

u try deattaching a key on my laptop, its gone

granite imp
#

😂

deep skiff
#

okay so basically any prebuilt is bad kekw

little osprey
#

not ganna lie laptops are ass when it comes to replacing a key

#

the plastic that the key goes down into and back up cracks if u try popping it off

stoic island
#

Not many keyboards let you hotswap switches

#

keycaps changing is extremely common

#

but the switches themselves not too common

#

GMMK is neat :D

granite imp
#

I have my wife playing on A laptop atm but she uses external keyboard

little osprey
#

mr11

#

do uk of anything i can use on my keyboard to wipe it off stickyness

#

so i have this silicon protector for my keyboard

#

and after a while it began ataching to my keys

granite imp
#

@little osprey use qtips with iso alcohol

little osprey
#

ok

#

ganna be a pain int he ass to do every key

#

for a computer i plan to throw in 2 months

#

or use for basic sht lol

#

like downloading malware off p0rnhub

#

(jk)

granite imp
#

I got a big box of lens cleaning wipes off amazon that I use on everything at my desk

little osprey
#

i have plenty of those

#

i just worry about it seeping inbetween the keys and damaging the boar

#

board*

#

then pc never boots up again

granite imp
#

Usually the lens wipes, if not made with alcohol, are made to evaporate quickly

little osprey
#

ok

granite imp
#

And I’d made with alcohol, will also evaporate quickly

#

If*

little osprey
#

if u saw my keyboard

#

u would cry how my silicon keys are almost scraped off

#

silicon still there but the paint is almost gone on some keys lol

#

ill take a pic one sec\

#

imagine that on my actual keyboard haha, to be fair the commonly used keys on my keyboard like wasd, that has some tear on the actual keys before i got this cover, thats when i bought this when i realized the letters began vanishing haha

#

eventually i would have a keyboard with no letters id look like a wizard when i play games, everyone wiuld be like duddde how do uk where the keys are (take note i dont look down when i type so i could do without) lol

stoic island
#

First, that ram prob wouldn't drop to 105$, the 3200c16 kit goes for 105$ but that 3600c16 kit usually stays 140$

#

And I suggest a TD 500 mesh for case :D

little osprey
#

ye but when i added it to the list

#

it was at that price

#

ye it was a major fkn deal, i wish i bought it right there

vital warren
#

i was going to say you could fit a 3080 and then i saw you needed a monitor too rip

little osprey
#

but didnt have a computer to test it on

#

ye i put the gpu add on at the bottom

#

i am going for the 3070 cuz i dont feel theres that much of a difference between the 3070 and 3080

#

sure the 3080 is better bang for ur buck but it comes at a higher cost

#

and do i rlly want to spend more than 500 on a part, not really

#

i just want to get it as close to what u would spend at bestbuy for a good computer

#

but with better parts

granite imp
#

I built my pc at the beginning of the year. Now I need to gift it to my wife and build a new one with a 3070 or better.

little osprey
#

has anyone here played warzone

granite imp
#

A little, I stick to csgo

little osprey
#

ye droq dont go for the 3080 or 3090 this 3070 can last for atleast 5-6 yrs

granite imp
#

I’m an old school cs 1.6 player tho

little osprey
#

the 3070 may add another yr or 2

#

but by then the gpus would have excelled super high

#

and still playable even after 6 yrs

#

just not the best high end new games

#

if ur ganna just csgo all the way u may as ell get the 3070

granite imp
#

Yea, i mean the 3070 is just too good a deal to pass up And I don’t even really play triple a games

little osprey
#

not worth the additional investment

#

ye and u dont stream

#

so u have 0 use for the additional benefits for the 250

#

unless ur rich then go ahead

#

blow ur money on it

#

cuz y tf not lol

granite imp
#

Wait how do you know I don’t stream?

little osprey
#

i dont

#

but u said ur 34

granite imp
#

Lol

little osprey
#

so i assume u dont lol

deep skiff
#

isnt it 200 more not 250

little osprey
#

no its 750$

granite imp
#

I stream and edit 4K video.

little osprey
#

o.O

#

u got ur channel

#

i am ganna start building mine, prob fall guys will be it, warzone streamers are too populated

granite imp
#

Go to self promotions, IL post links

little osprey
#

and as i heard theres hacking going on

deep skiff
#

msrp is 700 from nvidias website

little osprey
#

oh rlly nuclear

#

still not worth it tho

deep skiff
#

yeah aib cards are probably gonna be closer to 250 more tho for a good cooler

little osprey
#

tech grows exponentially

#

ye the cooling ont hat must be expensive

#

cuz again its a high performance, brand new to market

granite imp
little osprey
#

i doubt they found a legit way to cool it down

#

aight got it droq

granite imp
#

I really don’t stream much honestly

little osprey
#

i can tell lol

#

u don stream games do u

#

that one u sent is a pic of a baby

#

made me feel like ur a family oriented channel

granite imp
#

And I’ve had footage for my new YouTube video for a few weeks now and I’ve been slacking on editing it

little osprey
#

omg

granite imp
#

That’s my baby pic lmao

little osprey
#

i have the same problem lol

#

lol ur baby pic

granite imp
#

And ya my twitch I just stream my gameplay

little osprey
#

if that u as a baby, wat u look ike now lol

granite imp
#

My baby pic is my steam pic too

little osprey
#

noice

#

i g2g man

granite imp
#

My most recent pic 😂 just shaved off a foot length of beard

📎 image0.jpg
little osprey
#

was nice talkin to ya

#

u look like ross cameron

#

lol

granite imp
#

But my pc is better looking

little osprey
#

ye, acutally i can agree

#

uk who that guy is tho right?

#

so many ads on yt with him, but if u do know him and u do trade

#

do not go into penny land, ull get annihalated following these "gurus"

granite imp
#

I’ve never heard of him

little osprey
#

if u want to learn trading i have a discord with a lot of info on how to trade and get started

#

PRACTICE FIRST

#

tho

#

dont do what everyone else does which is jump in with $$$

granite imp
#

Lol thanks

little osprey
#

ur probability of winning is super low

#

u have to get pased that initial learning curve

granite imp
#

But I’ve got my investments down

little osprey
#

of euphorea and that uk what ur doing

#

then the market kicks ur butt

#

and u become humble

#

thats when u want to trade lol

errant berry
#

stocks?

little osprey
#

yes stonks

errant berry
#

lol

little osprey
#

😛

#

only way i am able to afford a high budget pc

errant berry
#

ive been meaning to try and get into it

#

you said you have a discord for it?

little osprey
#

if u want to get into it i got a discord

#

yes

#

and yt videos that are long, only a couple

#

ud have to excuse the fans

errant berry
#

if you dont mind id like to join

rustic sandal
little osprey
#

ok

granite imp
#

My stepdad had me start a portfolio when I was 15

little osprey
#

its free unlike other rooms

granite imp
#

Got some socks from family along the way

little osprey
#

granted i dont make live call outs now, i kinda just trade on my own

granite imp
#

Got some through my employers

little osprey
#

and answer questions

errant berry
#

i thought it would be a good idea to get into it young

little osprey
#

noice droq

#

ye it is

granite imp
#

Now I just put into my 401k and dabble in crypto.

little osprey
#

but learn first, u can open a free account, td ameritrade

#

best charting platform that is free

#

also it is 0 comission DO NOT USE ROBINHOOD

granite imp
#

If something major happens with some bad pr to a major company, I’ll buy some stock up, but that’s about it

little osprey
#

everyone keeps opening accounts with them because of free comission (at the time td was chargingg 2.95 per trade, but now went comission fre but people stil go to robinhood)

#

you will not become a successful trader with robinhood charts

#

they dont let u edit the time frame and looks

errant berry
#

so ameritrade is good?

little osprey
#

they keep it on 10 min candles and it sucks

#

ye

#

td is good

#

Interactive brokers is good (i think they still charge comissions)

errant berry
#

candles are the graphs that show gain and loss, right?

little osprey
#

no

errant berry
#

sorry i dont know much ab it

#

but i do find it interesting

little osprey
#

candles are the sticks that move up or down, green or red, as the stock trends

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

DO NOT DO OPTIONS

#

unles u sell premium

#

buying options is a suckers bet

#

selling premium is the house

#

but u will see people posting gains of 100% 600% 938% etc

#

but that happens not too often enough

#

for u to strike a home run

errant berry
#

isnt that you multiply your investment bc you buy hypothetical stocks

little osprey
#

?

errant berry
#

and if it does go up then you gain what you bought

#

sorry ive seen like one thing ab options on tik tok and i kinda forgot ab it😂

little osprey
#

lol

#

just dont buy options

#

avoid the headache like the man in my room that lost 80k

#

he had small losses leading up to it

errant berry
#

my god 80k

little osprey
#

its way too hard because unlike stocks, buying the shares and u can hold for an infinite amount of time

#

with options, you have an expiration date

#

and theta decay (you lose money as u hold the option)

errant berry
#

gotcha

little osprey
#

so lets say microsoft opened at 100$ a share, and u bought microsoft option contract at 40 delta (you now own 40 shares of microsoft) and the option contract costed you 150 bucks

#

now u gain 40 dollars per dollar move up if you bought a call

#

or 40 dolars per dollar move down if you bought a put

#

but lets say you have a theta of 20 for that contract

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

that means if u bought it when the stock was at 100$/share int he morning

#

and it closes at 100$/share

#

at 4pm

#

you have lost 20 bucks per contract

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

so now ur cost is 130

#

then next day it drops as well down to 110

errant berry
#

so you need to have it go over 140?

little osprey
#

no

#

you need it to go a dollar up

#

for u to profit

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

so for a call option if microsoft trades at 100 and closes at 101, you have a delta of 40

#

but a theta of 20

#

so u gained 40 dollars for that 1 dollar mov bringing you from 150 to 190

#

but you lose 20 dollars due to theta

errant berry
#

ok

#

options seem complicated

little osprey
#

because you held the contract for the day, so 170 total

#

it isnt

#

u just need incredibly good timing

#

and for the stock to go ur way pretty much within next 5 mins

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

cuz if it goes gainst you, you lose the delta and theta

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

so if msft was at 100$ per share and now it closed at 99$

#

you lose 40 bucks for the delta, and 20 bucks for the theta

#

150-60= 90 bucks

#

is how much its worth now

#

as the option seller

#

u would gain that drop in price of 60 bucks

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

i hav a whole section on trading, check out the tips section 🙂

#

just stick to shares

errant berry
#

i gtg bc i have class but ill be on your server, thanks for explaining it

little osprey
#

and dont do penny land

errant berry
#

ok

little osprey
#

stocks under 5

#

peace

Hello!

#

Question about a video card:

#

I want to order
MSI GeForce GTX 1650
My power supply is ATX 12V V2.3
Question: Is this power supply okay for this card?

potent prairie
#

What model of PSU?

#

What wattage?

#

What are your other specs

little osprey
#

i dont see it as a problem if ur going that old of a gpu

deep skiff
little osprey
#

which aio cooler should i get? i need a 240mm one (:

vital warren
little osprey
#

better than the corsair aios?

vital warren
#

i don't know much about corsair aios, but i know that aio performs great

#

look up a review on it and the corsair one you were looking at and i'm sure you'll get your answer

little osprey
#

i cant help u there

#

0 knowledge in this space of coolers, i just get a power supply that suits the watts im going to use on my computer within 100 watts leeway

#

all ik is get a fully modular power supply tho

stoic island
#

@vital warren @little osprey Arctic freezer ii beats Corsair in pure cooling for CPU, and ofc better cooling for VRMs

little osprey
#

thanks! i’ll definitely be checking it out today

#

i saw that it’s a little bigger radiator than others, you think it’ll fit in my pc? @stoic island sorru for ping

stoic island
#

What case?

little osprey
#

corsair 220t rgb

stoic island
#

Most cases don't have an issue with any rad thickness

#

You tryna mount top or front

little osprey
#

front

#

mr111 what u think abt my psu

#

oops

stoic island
#

Out of stock

little osprey
#

ik it is

stoic island
#

Lemme pull up my list of good PSUs

little osprey
#

im not buying one rn

#

waiting for black friday/cber monday

stoic island
little osprey
#

but u think this is all good with my build, as well as the motherboard

#

i heard its better to get an atx motherboard or somethn big i forget

stoic island
#

No

little osprey
#

u only got 1 psu in there lol

stoic island
#

Click view parametric selection

little osprey
#

thats a lot

#

lol

stoic island
#

Ya

little osprey
#

i like the list

#

but i am gettn a 600w or maybe this 650watt

#

i dont think it matters what power supply u get

#

as long as it can deliver power to everything

#

and has the amount of watts ur comp will be using

#

cuz im not dual gpu-ing

stoic island
#

It does

little osprey
#

and running 128gb of ram

stoic island
#

Psu protection, psu ripple, transient response, hold up time, etc

little osprey
#

if it does, which would be best for me thn, cuz my setup is under 400wats

stoic island
#

It matters for all PSUs

little osprey
#

cuz this is too much to study on a power supply

stoic island
#

Simple option: look at the tier list pinned in chat

little osprey
#

rather have someone else tell me who knows this stuff

#

ok

#

i have a picture of my pc inside if that’ll help to see if it fits

stoic island
#

They looked through the reviews and rated em

#

@little osprey I can't look at a pic and tell you dimensions :p just look up specs

little osprey
#

lmao right, idk what i was thinking

#

lol

#

i was laughing at that comment too hard

#

im like a pic will tell me dimensions.. ok lol

#

lmao

#

gatta factor in everyones case is dif

#

mid tower, etc. and width

#

unles im buying ur case specifically, it aint the same

stoic island
#

(it's really annoying to look up specs and stuff on mobile so I'll leave you to your research :D)

little osprey
#

well same dimmension case

#

oof on mobile, same, i am on my phone

#

ill be back to this chat and study when i have the power and the will to do so

agile jacinth
#

do yall think a 3070 will be ok with a 3600 or should i get a 3700x?

#

i dont do much video editing so i dont really need the cores

#

but still

stoic island
#

Wait for benchmarks :p

agile jacinth
#

ok

stoic island
#

3600 should do fine tho

agile jacinth
#

ok

urban locust
#

good afternoon all, does anyone know of a website that sells motherboard specific I/O plate covers. I have not reached out to the manufacture yet, just didn't know if there was anything out there that I missed.

stoic island
#

I don't believe so, since there's so many different io shield covers, it doesn't make sense for people to make those parts that wouldn't sell well

agile jacinth
#

dang mr11 your smart lol

urban locust
#

understood, I will reach out to the manufacture and see if they still offer one.

little osprey
#

always worth checking ebay too

little leaf
#

trying for itx

#

2070s is place holder for 3070

agile jacinth
#

ive only been learning about pcs for like 2 years but yeah its a good build for gaming, but if your wanting to do like good editing then you might want the extra cores for your cpu

little leaf
#

Yep Ik that part

#

would've put a 3700x if I was editing

#

but even if I was video editing a 3600x is good enough for 1080 video editing

agile jacinth
#

yeah true

#

are you overclocking?

little leaf
#

even 4k

#

Not intrested in ocing a almost maxed out cpu

#

amd leaves very little room to overclock

agile jacinth
#

facts

#

i think the stock cooler works for the cpu so personally i wouldnt get a cooler but again im not that experienced

#

otherwise its a good build

deep skiff
#

p sure there isnt enough clearance for the stock cooler

#

havent checked tho so might be enough

little leaf
#

there isn't

solemn rover
#

does anyone recommend a gpu that i can use

vital warren
#

3080 when it comes out

solemn rover
#

Ok

#

When will it come out

vital warren
#

sept 17th i think it was

solemn rover
#

Ok cool

#

Thx

slender owl
#

Is a surge protector recommended for a pc?

sullen spoke
#

can be handy

slender owl
#

Any recommendations?

sly sphinx
granite delta
#

Solid build

#

Not a fan of the single fans doe peepoSadSip

stoic island
#

Could do better on the PSU

granite delta
#

For that 2060

stoic island
#

@sly sphinx how cheap can you find that NE Zen for

sly sphinx
#

Not 100% sure.

#

But most parts should go on sale for boxing day

stoic island
#

Because depending on what price you find it out, there are better options

#

???

#

Boxing day?

sly sphinx
#

I think it's a canadian thing.

deep skiff
#

yeah

errant berry
#

why dont you wait for the 3070 tho

sly sphinx
#

Im kinda in a rush and tight on budget

errant berry
#

ah

deep skiff
#

isnt boxing day in december

sly sphinx
#

Because my current laptop barely works

#

Yup

fast dust
#

Then why make a list now

deep skiff
#

wow i know something about canada haha

sly sphinx
#

XD

fast dust
#

Market will be different in a few months

sly sphinx
#

I asked for some parts before

#

For research

little osprey
#

Can you guys help me build a gaming pc I’m spending 800-1000 but I have no idea what parts to buy but idk what’s good what’s compatible etc

#

I’ll give you the parts o have soo far

#

Or am planning on buying

granite delta
#

Ok

little osprey
#

Sorry about the pic I dropped my phone in a river

#

Like is this enough? Is it good?

stoic island
#

And no :p

little osprey
#

Oh

#

Know anything better?

#

Maybe a 5700xt instead of that graphics card

#

Ahh kk

wary geode
#

2060 used

little osprey
#

Should I go with the 8gig

#

Yeah just send a link of the whole set up in pc part picked it will be easier to know specifically what parts your choosing

#

Kk thx

#

Is 800-1000 a good budget?

molten cedar
#

1,000 is probs good

fast dust
#

A budget is good if it meets your needs and you can afford it

rich void
#

What Yams said. 1000 could be too much or too little, or just right, depending on needs/desires and funds

quiet lily
#

im gearing up to do my very first build bongoTap

#

i should have the money to order the parts in a few weeks

fast dust
#

i cant believe i just used an anime emoji

quiet lily
fast dust
#

ok i typed yay in my emojis and thats what came up so i just hit enter in my defense

quiet lily

idc even spam as many anime emojis as you want, ive been waiting to do a build since i was 12 and I'm 21 now peepoBeatSaber

Yay

im probably going to get a newegg kit for my first build, for ease of part compatibility

stoic island
#

Newegg kit?

#

Use pcpp and make your own build :p

#

The pc build newegg reccomends isn't exactly great price to performance, we're trying to get them to fix that tho :p

Hey does anyone know how to get your ssd ready to be put into a different PC?

analog hearth
#

you just put it in

#

no need to get ready

gentle harbor

I want to transfer my ssd that has windows on it.

#

will it do anything if I just transfer it?

analog hearth
#

nope

gentle harbor

alright Ill try it.

How much ram should i get if i want to do content creation like animation, i.e 16gb vs 32 gb, and is it worth getting 3600 over 3200 for that as well? Doing my first pc build

foggy hazel
#

depends on your budget and what platform

pliant raptor
#

Amd and hopefully bellow 140,

foggy hazel
#

140 for what part?

pliant raptor
#

Ram

foggy hazel
#

when do you plan to actually buy the parts and build the machine?

pliant raptor
#

I'm building around mid october

foggy hazel
#

(and yes, this is related to your question)

pliant raptor
#

Getting parts when they come on sale lol

foggy hazel
#

generally, buy it all together

#

makes fixing potential DOA parts way simpler

pliant raptor
#

Ok, but is 32 gb better for animation or am I able to save like 50 bucks lol

foggy hazel
#

depends on the things you do

#

i would personally not recommend going with 16

#

ram is cheap enough as it is, that 32 makes sense

pliant raptor
#

Ok cool

foggy hazel
#

however, ultimately, you are the one that will have to pay for it :)

Im looking for some help in choosing components for an unraid nas. I have the tower case. Im looking to install 8 - 10 HDD when complete. starting with two 10TB at the beginning. An SDD of .5 - 1TB, and an optical drive. First off can anyone help me with the power supply?

gentle harbor
#

Ok I finished installing my drives into my new PC and now it won't boot. Im not saying that it did boot before because its a new PC build.

#

Does anyone know the answer to why this is happening?

#

@foggy crystal I would recommend going with a 850w PSU, unless you have or are planning on OC your PC.

foggy crystal
#

How do I know it has enough power ports for all the drives and hardware? What do I look for? Do I need to care about Rails too?

gentle harbor
#

Some PSU's come with cables that allow you to plug up to 3 drives to one cable, so you could get one thats modular so you can get the cables you want.

foggy crystal
#

So even with 12 drives I should have enough "ports" and such to connect 10 HDD? and beyond that I dont need to worry?

hoary flower

It’s so confusing in the manual

broken spire
#

Pc only boots to windows when I do a boot override to the drive with windows installed

tulip bane
#

og is your boot setup in the BIOs out of order? I'm not a huge techie but that sounds like it could be the issue

broken spire
#

I’ve tried putting the drive with windows at the top but that doesn’t seem to help

desert gulch
#

What's your boot priorit?

#

In bios?

broken spire
#

Not too sure what you mean, sorry I’m new to this stuff

desert gulch
#

Can you get into thw bios?

#

By pressing the delete key when you turn on your PC?

#

@broken spire

broken spire
#

Yeah I can get into bios

desert gulch
#

Ok

#

Do you see a boot tab?

broken spire
#

Yes

desert gulch
#

Go to it

broken spire
#

Done

desert gulch
#

Do you see boot priority

#

Or boot order

broken spire
#

Yes, I’ve switched them multiple times but nothing happens

desert gulch
#

Weird

broken spire
#

Yeah

anyone help me put together a £1500 list please?

Until 3070 comes out

Or 3080

tulip bane
#

ryan weird question, why to people have their specs as their nickname?

smoky jay
#

@desert gulch he can put a list together without the parts out yet

desert gulch
#

Stein idk

#

Everyone else did it so I did too

tulip bane
#

heck, I guess I'll do it

little osprey
#

If people don't know about your specs do they really exist

tulip bane
#

or I would if I could

cloud token
#

i dont have specs, at the end of the year i might be able to get my own $1000 pc, this £1500 list i need is for a friend

can someone send me a 1.5k pc streaming / editing pc LIST and its good at fortnite

tulip bane

I don't think a 1.5k system is necessary for fortnite but fair

broken spire
#

Can’t you run fortnite on a potato?

lone trellis
#

no it hard

#

it not very good on lower end devices

vital warren
#

my pc is doodoo and still runs it well lol

dapper solstice
#

1.5k for fortnite streaming pc?

broken spire
#

Laptop from 2008? @lone trellis

dapper solstice
#

does that include periherals? @lone trellis

tulip bane
#

I've never opened fortnite on my system

#

that would be blasphemy

vital warren
#

agreed

broken spire
#

Only ever played fortnut on a PS4

foggy hazel
#

opinions about the game and how it runs on YOUR system ... those are not relevant for helping him get a list. So please keep stuff like that to #general-chat

dapper solstice
#

@lone trellis do you have any preferences on cpu?

lone trellis
#

no

#

idk

tulip bane
#

I'll always suggest AMD

broken spire
#

Ryzen 5 3600x?

dapper solstice
#

also is it only the pc or do you have peripherals

broken spire
#

That would be pretty alright I think

lone trellis
#

i dont have the peripherals i just want to see what the best 1.5k gaming pc list is

#

i might get it

dapper solstice
#

so only pc?

tulip bane
#

only the components then?

lone trellis
#

@dapper solstice yes

dapper solstice
#

ok give me a minute

broken spire
#

Only talking gpu/cpu here but what about a ryzen 5 3600x and a rtx 2060 super?

lone trellis
#

ok

smoky jay
#

It's a good build

lone trellis
#

k

broken spire
#

If you want a suggestion for a cheaper case I’d go with the cooler master td500 mesh

lone trellis
#

how do i send a scrennie

broken spire
#

You on a phone?

lone trellis
#

no pc

stoic island
#

@broken spire meh, I don't really feel comfortable reccomending a 2060s rn, market do be fluctuating

lone trellis
#

i got the scrennie

broken spire
#

@stoic island understandable have a great day

desert gulch
#

Yeah for 1500 could probably do a 3070 build

#

2060s isnt worth it rn

dapper solstice
#

ok I've finished

#

i want a second opinion though

#

idk if you like rgb but i tried to keep it minimum

#

but i think may have over spent on some parts

#

@lone trellis

stoic island
#

70$ h100x is really sketchy

#

Especially with like 30$ shipping

#

Overpricee motherboard

#

Get 3600c16 ram

dapper solstice
#

oops i put 3200 by mistake

stoic island
#

Txm gold way overpriced, get a better PSU

broken spire
#

Maybe go with 3600mhz?

stoic island
#

Might as well get a td500 mesh, more fans, same price.

broken spire
#

Td500 mesh is a great bang for your buck in my opinion

lone trellis
#

ok @dapper solstice thanks

stoic island
#

I wouldn't go with that list yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

dapper solstice
#

wait i got revisons to make

stoic island
#

Many revisions

#

P1 is decent but you could do better at 1500$ budget

dapper solstice
#

i wanted breathing room incase he wanted to pick something else

stoic island
#

:p

lone trellis

its perfect

#

the list

What’s the best $500 rgb build you guys can come up with for me. For gaming.

@stoic island any suggestions for him?

dapper solstice
stoic island
#

I'm back

#

@dapper solstice wtf is that

#

3600cl20

#

I've actually never seen a kit with that high latency lmfao

dapper solstice
#

there were no 3600 16

stoic island
#

That's worse than 3200cl16 you know right

dapper solstice
#

unless i went higher in price

little osprey
#

Hi

stoic island
#

Of course you should go higher in price for better performance

#

...

little osprey
#

@stoic island, @calm basin needs a good build

#

Any suggestions

stoic island
#

I'll fix up a build for stampy first

little osprey
#

Ok

#

Thank

stoic island
#

500$ RGB build?

#

your best bet would be going used

little osprey
#

Damn

#

Would $700 be decent

stoic island
#

It's just, TD500 mesh plus used parts

#

uh it starts to be decent buying new

little osprey

I sde

#

See*

stoic island

@calm basin

How good is the r3?@stoic island

Good enough for gaming

So my case has 2 fans but my board has one fan header and my fan splitter dosen't work I'm confused

spiral zealot
#

3100 is a totally solid mid range gaming CPU, there were a bunch of reviews when the 3100/3300 first came out, especially comparing it to things like 1600AF and some of the mid range i3/i5 offerings.

little osprey
#

May I have someone rate my build?

smoky jay
#

sure

little osprey
smoky jay
#

Seems good to me, although I wouldn't spend the money on a CPU fan since the 3600 should come with a stock-cooler

stoic island
#

A few things I'd like to change

#

First, 212 evo unnecessar

#

Second, get some 3600mhz cl16 ram

deep skiff
#

get a 3070

stoic island
#

Third, Get a NVMe M.2 Drive

#

Fourth, ^ What nachos said

robust plover
#

So my case has 2 fans but my board has one fan header and my fan splitter dosen't work I'm confused

smoky jay
#

Also I'd wait for 3070,

stoic island
#

Fifth, I'd recommend a Coolermaster TD500 mesh

#

Sixth, I'd reccomend a better PSU like a RM650x

#

That's about it

robust plover
#

My fan header is 4 pin and my fans are 3 pin

little osprey
#

I’ll change it and post what I got

stoic island
#

Yes

#

that's normal

#

just non-pwm fans into standard 4 pin

robust plover
#

I got a fan splitter but it doesn't work

stoic island
#

the splitter is broken then

robust plover
#

Well the fan only plugs into 2 of the 3 pins 2 are on the right side and 1 is far on the right

little osprey
#

I took off the fan, but I’m on a budget, were the other changes needed or just for better parts?

stoic island
#

They're geared towards better parts at around the same price

#

I'm not trying to get you to buy a 1000$ motherboard kinda thing

#

I'll make an example list real quick

little osprey
#

Ooh okay, thankies

#

I’m still trying to find the suggested parts since I’m not good with this lol

stoic island
#

3070 just got revealed, it's supposed to have amazing price to performance, but it's going to start going on retailers next month, so if you can wait a few weeks, it would be an AMAZING option compared to the 2070 super in your list right now

deep skiff
#

hype 3070

little osprey
#

Ooohh I heard, is it around the same price? I thought it’d be expensive af

stoic island
#

499$ msrp

#

same price

deep skiff
#

yeah that

little osprey
#

Oh what

#

That’s insanely good, thanks

stoic island
#

listed on Nvidia's website so it ain't no rumor or anything, it's official.

deep skiff
#

or just get a used 2080 ti kekw

little osprey
#

Oh god

stoic island
little osprey
#

If I get the 3070 would that mean I’d need any different parts to cope with it?

stoic island
#

Nope

#

Also, how much storage do you think you'll actually need, and for what purpose?

#

single 2tb NVMe drive seems a bit expensive, you could have a better time with 1tb NVMe drive + 2tb HDD

little osprey
#

About 2TB since I have real big games

#

My laptop has 960 gigs and it’s a pain for me

stoic island
little osprey
#

Ooo that looks great

stoic island
#

heh, even saved 50$ compared to the other list

little osprey
#

Do I have to worry about the compatibility stuff at the bottom?

stoic island
little osprey
#

Okay phew

#

I appreciate the help, can’t wait for the 3070 though

stoic island
#

Of course, we all are, you're gonna have to try and be quick on the buying though

keep saving

stoic island
#

Mhm, keep saving for now.

final warren
#

anyone who got the 2080ti sad
@final warren

fleet pagoda
#

In amd it says avg fps 14

final warren
#

cuz if you benchmark the 3070 which is half the price than the 2080ti the 3070 has a few ghz over the 2080ti

foggy hazel
#

@fleet pagoda your main issue/problem/challenge is that both your CPU and GPU are old

#

however, the main factor is the GPU

#

of what you have linked there

fleet pagoda
#

So i should upgrade that first

foggy hazel
#

aye, it would NOT hurt

fleet pagoda
#

How much is a good one

foggy hazel
#

but, you are going to be hitting some limits fairly quickly because of the CPU

#

so its a bit of a "one part this, one part that = general mess"

fleet pagoda
#

:/ i wanna get a new one but its so expensive

#

I enter in all the newegg giveaway thing so wish me some luck💀😂

foggy hazel
#

sorry mate

#

as we said, save up

fleet pagoda
#

Yeas i am

stoic island
#

heh, luck is a fickle thing

#

Im getting a job soon i jus turned 16

#

R9 380 isn’t the worst thing ever

You said you were getting a job soon, so you should start saving up some more monies soon :D

fleet pagoda
#

I am ima get s job at walmart im getting my working papers in 2 days

#

Or maybe a grocery store

stoic island
#

Anyways I'd say around 400$ should a good milestone for a decent CPU+mobo+ram+gpu upgrade

fleet pagoda
#

Oki th

foggy hazel
#

also, please DONT buy the parts one part at a time

stoic island
#

Yes, also try to consult us first

foggy hazel
#

save up so you can get all the parts you need at once

fleet pagoda
#

Okay yeah that sounds good

stoic island
#

And you're going to need to upgrade CPU+Mobo+Ram at the same time because compatibility.

cursive wharf
#

If you buy a part and wait 4 months to test it because you don't have the components to test it in, you can't RMA it

stoic island
#

Anyways, good luck to you, I gotta go do some stuff :P

fleet pagoda
#

I might try and get cheap rgb fans and put em in my pc and sell it for like 250 if i can when i am close to having enough

cursive wharf
#

If you're looking to sell, just get LED fans. Don't even need to be RGB

fleet pagoda
#

Oh okay those r pretty cheap right

cursive wharf
#

Yeah. Probs like $14 for a 2 pack or smth

#

Don't need much

autumn wolf
#

if youre entry level i think its fine. if not entry, i think you can splurge a bit more on a better cpu unless youre waiting on the new amd cpu's and dont want to spend too much now, in which case, id say get the 3600 and a b550 board and upgrade cpu later

cursive wharf
#

b550 AsRock Phantom Gaming 4 is better then b450 Tomahawk and cheaper by $10, get a 1650 Super or 1660 Super, MP34 is a bit cheaper, CXM has coil whine issues, case is pricy for build budget

little osprey
#

thank you @autumn wolf

#

@cursive wharf thank you!

#

Yeah, I am entry level once again, been 12 years since I was in the industry, tried to run my life as a business owner, and now I am back, or attempting to get back into the industry as a Dev, money right now is limited, so yeah, budget is important. @autumn wolf

#

Later i will build a better PC with more room for upgrades too

#

Thank you so much, the price is looking better already.

Might even have room to throw in an extra monitor in there.

So I finished building my pc and nothing displays on my monitor 🥴

robust plover
#

Did you plug the monitor plug into the graphics card

hoary flower
#

No

#

What do you mean

gentle harbor
#

this happened to me rn

#

I fixed it

hoary flower
#

Everything is on

#

Am I supposed to see lights on motherboard?

gentle harbor
#

You need to unplug the CPU power plug from the motherboard, than you press it back in the right way hard.

#

It will display

hoary flower
#

Cause all the fans are moving

#

But okay about to try that

robust plover
#

Did you plug the monitor display port into the graphics card

hoary flower
#

It’s hdmi?

robust plover
#

Is it plugged into the hdmi port on the graphics card

hoary flower
#

No

robust plover
#

Do it

hoary flower
robust plover
#

Yep take of the caps on the ports and plug it in

hoary flower
robust plover
#

The graphics card is what gives you the display

hoary flower
robust plover
#

Yep that's right do you know what to do

hoary flower
#

Uh no

#

I tried delete key

#

and control alt delt

robust plover
#

Watch Paul's hardware what to do after building a pc and restart your pc and tap delete at the beginning of the screen

hoary flower
#

Link it?

#

I found it

robust plover
#

Ok good luck today was my first build

#

So I got a 2700x and I just installed the Lian Li galahad 240mm AIO (top mounted) however, my temps still seem a little high (max has reached 68 while gaming) and lowers to 30C and jumps to 40C while idling and just cycles. I use core-temp to measure temperature I think I have auto OC enabled in the bios but I'm confused on why my temps get so high and if I need to update certain software. Thoughts?

desert gulch

#

@loud idol

loud idol
#

the motherboard

desert gulch
#

Try using your fingers

gentle harbor
#

Does anyone know how I can get rid of old drivers from another motherboard off of my ssd? I had recently installed an ssd that has windows, but is from a completely different system.

#

It was an AMD Lenovo laptop, so now there are still the Radeon settings even though I have an Nvidia card. There is not one single this that is Radeon.

#

the cleanest solution is to do a clean install of the OS @gentle harbor

#

otherwise, you could give DDU a spin

gentle harbor
#

When you mean clean install do you mean buy a new Windows key or do the factory reset thing like how it wipes every piece of data off of it so you can give it someone?

spiral zealot
#

I would try DDU first, and then do a reset if needed

gentle harbor
#

How do I do that?

pastel briar
#

@loud idol iirc main board stand offs are either a 5mm or 6mm size, usually your finger is sufficient to remove them, if they are stupidly tight as in someone was dumb enough to use an impact gun a socket will work (6pt sided socket, do NOT use a 12 point) but again fingers should be sufficient

I have a question, I have a 8gb gigabyte 570, instead of upgrading to a 5700XT, could I take a cheaper route on do a 2 way crossfire with another 8gb gigabyte 570?
