[vocal hare]

It's 8 dollars difference rn

[ripe wedge]

the x just has slightly higher clock

o

well could change

[vocal hare]

And the 3600x comes with the spire cooler

Instead of the stealth

[ripe wedge]

didnt know they were that close in price rn

[vocal hare]

Yeah it's why j wouldn't buy a 3600 rn

In July it was like 150

[ripe wedge]

used to be like $150

yea

[vocal hare]

Should gotten it

Should've*

Probably the price it'll hit once 4000 series hits

[ripe wedge]

they rumored 4000 to be announced at the end of this month

[vocal hare]

2600 is around 139 rn

[ripe wedge]

at a conference

[vocal hare]

Please be true

What conference

Need to set a date

[ripe wedge]

hold up let me find it

its sept 28 -29 I think

https://www.techradar.com/news/amd-ryzen-4000

[vocal hare]

Hmm aight but that don't tell me the conference to watch

[cursive wharf]

@little leaf I'm attempting to go to sleep, so not for some fair hours, if a build hasn't already been made

[ripe wedge]

so computex

doesnt look good

canceled in red

[vocal hare]

Soof

Oof*

I cri

[ripe wedge]

rona messing everything up

messing up my education too

[near garden]

And prices for parts

[ripe wedge]

and quantity

[vocal hare]

Tbh I wouldn't mind an Intel build but I like the features for mobo price

Of AMD

[ripe wedge]

yea

amd also has pcie 4.0

[vocal hare]

I feel like cheap AMD boards are nicer than lower end z490

[ripe wedge]

lol

[vocal hare]

By cheap I mean like b450 and 550

But honestly I feel like you get more for the price

[ripe wedge]

I have a A320M ASRock mobo in my pc I built for my brother and it can do everything but oc cpu

but yea amd is great

[vocal hare]

For my brothers I just went cheap b50

450

[ripe wedge]

I would have but I got my cpu,ram,mobo, and cooler in a bundle

[vocal hare]

Still quite a bit of nice features

Ah

[ripe wedge]

yep was $60

[vocal hare]

For one of my brothers I got a 1600 for 85 a lil before 1600af release

[ripe wedge]

for ryzen 3 1300x, a320m, t2 coolermaster cooler, and 1x8gb ddr4 2400 ram

[vocal hare]

Not like I could've got him one anyway

[ripe wedge]

o nice

[vocal hare]

Wish I could gotten a better case for him

[ripe wedge]

yea I got my brother a case the same price as his pc basically lol

[vocal hare]

But low on budget already

[ripe wedge]

got a coolermaster mb320l

[vocal hare]

Got a real cheap case

Like extra cheap

Like 25 dollars cheap

[ripe wedge]

like cougar cheap cheap?

[vocal hare]

Didn't want to skimp on other parts

And his stuff isn't exactly hot parts

Just a 1600 and 570

[ripe wedge]

o and I forgot the A320M had an m.2 slot

[vocal hare]

570 doesn't get too hot

Usually caps at 75

Think the highest I've seen it is 77

But I'm not monitoring it all the time

[ripe wedge]

the cpu on my r3 1300x build idles at around 30c and high of 50c

[vocal hare]

1600 doesn't pass 50

Actually 51

[ripe wedge]

o an rx570?

thats not bad

[vocal hare]

Yeah I got a cheaper used one on ebay

[near garden]

I’m getting a used 2060 and I think the mobo is over priced right now

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8nV4K4

[ripe wedge]

I got a $75 gtx 970 for my brothers build

[vocal hare]

But it failed like few weeks in

[ripe wedge]

asus strix model

[vocal hare]

So I found a $100 570 on wegg

That's the one that runs at 75c cap

Lil louder than the first

[ripe wedge]

o I had to repaste the gtx 970

it was a mess

had to clean it thoroughly

[vocal hare]

My other brother had a gpu faikure

[ripe wedge]

oof

[vocal hare]

So I used the opportunity to upgrade him to am4

3400g rhough

But it works just fine

[ripe wedge]

welp imma slep

[potent prairie]

Why? It's only 3:57AM here

[near garden]

3:00 am here

[analog hearth]

@vocal hare though*

[formal axle]

@bronze helm I didn’t! But I found out that it’s the fans. I plugged in a different fan that just stays blue and it worked the fan and the lights

I think the thermaltake I got are all bad

I watched a review and people have had issues with them in the past.

[small heron]

Is it bad
That my motherboard is being held by one screw

[mighty quarry]

I dont know much about computers and I'm looking to build myself a new one (cause the one I have now is crap) and i would like some feedback on my parts

[little osprey]

What mhz is the ram

You should put all those on pc part picker
Easier to see what specific stuff you picked

[mighty quarry]

3600

and thanks, I just have the links in a google doc right now

[foggy hazel]

@mighty quarry 3600 cl16?

also, those prices seem "off" by a fair bit. But you should notice that yourself when you get it all plugged into pcpartpicker

[little osprey]

does anyone have a fix for a new motherboard not reading drives as being bootable

[mighty quarry]

thanks

[deep skiff]

also just buy windows off ebay for like $5

[little osprey]

windows is installed on the ssd but the motherboard bios wont detect that the ssd is even readable

it can read the name and amount of storage though

[stoic island]

@mighty quarry use pcpartpicker.com

[lusty glacier]

I'm ordering some cables from cablemod and I'm a little unsure of what to get for GPU. If I get a fe 3080 the 12 pin adapter is included, but if I don't I'll need three 8 pin cables right?

[cunning flume]

Hello everyone, im looking to build the cheapest VR ready pc using the RTX 3070, any tips or recommendations?

[stoic island]

@lusty glacier I'd say you might want to wait for people to actually try using custom cables with FE 30xx

[lusty glacier]

Fair

[foggy hazel]

@lusty glacier also, cablemod has a customer support for questions like that :) they are MUCH better equipped to answer questions like that :)

[granite delta]

I feel bad for the people who actually pay full price for a windows key

[lusty glacier]

Now I know for next time c: I'll bring it to them, thanks

[desert gulch]

@granite delta yeah lol. Imagine paying the official mucrosoft store 150 for a windows home key lmao

[lusty glacier]

@granite delta I keep getting them for free from my school. Education edition but w/e

[granite delta]

That’s nice

[lusty glacier]

I just mean like 20 years ago I thought buying windows now and then was going to be a problem but now it feels like people just throw keys at you

[feral jetty]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VyL4K4 Ive currently got this setup going but I want a smaller form factor. Can anyone recommend a good micro-atx MB and Case?

[granite delta]

Kev

[feral jetty]

Hello hello

[granite delta]

Why don’t you just go with a 500 gb ssd?

Instead of getting two 250gb

I know prices are different in the uk

But I figure it would be cheaper

[feral jetty]

Don’t ask these are all the parts that I already got 😂😂😂

I didn’t think about it back then

[granite delta]

Ohhh

Lmao

I see

[feral jetty]

Some of my parts I’m definitely thinking wtf

[granite delta]

Did you want both a micro atx case and mobo or just the micro atx mobo?

@feral jetty

[crimson hornet]

Hey so I just built my Pc and I’m trying to boot windows. Alls I have on my screen is a blinking line

[granite delta]

Did you install windows already?

[crimson hornet]

No trying to do that sorry

[granite delta]

You good

You already know how to right?

[ripe wedge]

blinking line at top left?

[crimson hornet]

Yeah

Top left

[ripe wedge]

did you install windows onto a usb yet?

[crimson hornet]

Yeah

[ripe wedge]

using microsofts usb tool

[granite delta]

Media creation

[ripe wedge]

^

[crimson hornet]

No

[granite delta]

Ah

That’s the problem

[ripe wedge]

did you just put the iso on the usb?

[granite delta]

Let me give you a video

[ripe wedge]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

[crimson hornet]

did you just put the iso on the usb?
@ripe wedge yeah

[ripe wedge]

here is the tool

[granite delta]

https://youtu.be/bkafkI32Cs0

You need to download media creation tool

Just make sure your pc is turned off when you insert the usb

And power it on once it’s there

[feral jetty]

@granite delta sorry both case and motherboard

[crimson hornet]

Does this work on a Mac?

[granite delta]

I don’t believe so

[ripe wedge]

I dont think it plays too well with macos

[granite delta]

@granite delta sorry both case and motherboard
@feral jetty you good

[ripe wedge]

if you have a windows pc laying around id use that

or have a friend install it on a pc

[granite delta]

I personally like the darkflash dlm 22 case

It’s a good cheap microatx case

[ripe wedge]

I personally like the mb320l

[granite delta]

Never heard of that one

Mind sending a pic?

[ripe wedge]

its a coolermaster

https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-masterbox-mb311l-argb-micro-atx-tower/p/N82E16811119380

meant the mb311l

[feral jetty]

What about MOtherboard

[granite delta]

Msi b550m pro

3rd one in the pic

@ripe wedge now that you showed me that case I don’t know whether to get that one or the darkflash

[ripe wedge]

the mb311l was a blast to build in

it has a lot of space for cable management

and the removable cage is nice

[granite delta]

it has a lot of space for cable management
@ripe wedge does it comes with the fans in the photo?

[ripe wedge]

yea

so I didnt need to buy any

I moved the top one to the rear

[granite delta]

Pog

That case won my heart

[ripe wedge]

I have the mb320l I think non mesh front

but id recommend the mesh front

I accidentally bought the non mesh lol

still keeps the pc super cool tho

[granite delta]

Alrighty

[ripe wedge]

lots of airflow except if u have a beefy gpu

[granite delta]

Gonna watercool my apu 😎

[ripe wedge]

I mean the airflow is decent for the gpu

[granite delta]

Yeah

Case looks epic

[ripe wedge]

another thing about it

is idk what software can control the rgb

it has a hub that came with it

[granite delta]

Oh ok

[ripe wedge]

but only has preconfigured settings

but havent really tried any software so idk

[granite delta]

Just want a whitish blue theme

Is there a white variant of that case?

[ripe wedge]

i dont think so

[raw thunder]

So grabbed a 760 power supply for my new rig. As I understand that should be plenty for a 3070?

[lime forge]

yes

[raw thunder]

But would be short of a 3080? If I am running a ryzen 3900

[ripe wedge]

3080 will work fine with 760W

nvidia recommends a 750W

[unkempt jolt]

Any idea what causes a white light to be on? It says VGA on the motherboard label. I just opened it up to covert my 4 pin power to the motherboard to an 8 pin and connect an RGB adapter for the case rgb to work with aura

[unkempt jolt]

Never mind a restarting fixed it

[wind peak]

Hello, I’m a college student looking for build ideas for potentially next spring/summer, looking to spend only about 800-850 and intend to mainly use it for gaming, Valorant, overwatch and the sorts, any recommendations?

[granite delta]

Hello, I’m a college student looking for build ideas for potentially next spring/summer, looking to spend only about 800-850 and intend to mainly use it for gaming, Valorant, overwatch and the sorts, any recommendations?
@wind peak is that the budget for the pc or the whole setup?

[wind peak]

Pc

[granite delta]

Ok

[wind peak]

I’ve been talking with a friend and I’ve just mainly looking for ddr4 ram with decent components to go with it

[granite delta]

@ripe wedge

What would be a good gpu for the price

[ripe wedge]

hmm

[granite delta]

It’s really hard for me to decide since I know prices will drop

[ripe wedge]

@wind peak is that USD?

[wind peak]

Yes

[ripe wedge]

ah ok ill try to throw something together

[granite delta]

I already have a list

Just missing the gpu

[ripe wedge]

how much budget is left

@granite delta

[wind peak]

I haven’t really started anything, just looking to get an idea so that I could switch from my school laptop that’s not bad for now, to something more designed for gaming

[vital warren]

could always take a look at used gpus rn

[granite delta]

My wifi in the hotel is slow

Jake

Just make it

My wifi is bugging

[ripe wedge]

ah ok

[granite delta]

My messages didn’t even load before

[ripe wedge]

I think a ryzen 2600 would be fine cuz its cheaper

but if theres more budget to allot ill upgrade it to a 3600

[wind peak]

Will prices go down much come next spring/summer

[vital warren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Tb267T

i tried to put something decent together

[ripe wedge]

wait does the ryzen 2600 not work with a b550 mobo?

pc part picker wont let me choose the b550 with 2600

[autumn wolf]

believe there are some chips that the b550 doesnt accept

[ripe wedge]

weird

b450 it is for now I guess

@wind peak most likely

but im working on it for ya rn

@wind peak would you be fine buying a used gpu?

you could get more power froma used gpu

I threw this together but it isnt entirely amazing

case little overpriced

but cases are subjective if you like them or not

actually no

need to change it from that msi card

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tCZXgJ

I wouldnt buy this exactly because you can find some better used stuff for around that range

[wind peak]

There was a build I saw someone selling with a case that had a mesh front, it started with an A I believe, prices and quality is likely to change due to not buying it now so it’s not a major concern

[terse condor]

Just got a ax1200i and having issues keeping it powered on? Any suggestions?

[still roost]

NOputitback#2233 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[terse condor]

Where

What bad word did I say @still roost

[onyx lava]

Can I post my build plan in here?

[pallid hull]

yea ppl can look at your build and see what can be fixed

[onyx lava]

Ok yea, probably need that since I'm completely new to pc building lol

[pallid hull]

everybody starts exactly the same hah

[pallid hull]

is this pcpartpicker?

never used on mobile so i cant tell lol

[onyx lava]

Yes

Mobile site so I had to take multiple ss

[pallid hull]

are you just planning on using this system to play games?

[onyx lava]

Might use it for coding work as well

Other than that yea

[pallid hull]

jeez that monitor lol

[onyx lava]

My budget was ~3500 so I was trying to make the most out of it

Lol I'm a little bit of an ultrawide fanatic

[pallid hull]

Yeah i'm still trying to get used to a curved monitor, been using flat my whole life

[onyx lava]

How do you like them?

[pallid hull]

uhm, as of now i dig em....tho when playing competitive shooters it feels oddly off

don't know the best way to describe it

also yea i know litttle to nothing about balancing out parts between wanting gaming and coding so i couldnt help

[onyx lava]

Lol same here

[pallid hull]

hopefully someone here can pick up on your build and see if they can help

[onyx lava]

I hate to admit it but I'm probably only going to be playing minecraft and gta 5

But planning on trying racing sims

[pallid hull]

Nothing wrong with that, I personally hate it people say "dude u have this beast of system and ur playing so and so games????"

had this guy jump on my buddy who was buying a 3080, starting getting heated cuz he didn't have a 4k monitor...like what?

[onyx lava]

Yea I also dont think 4k gaming monitors are mainstream

[granite delta]

@onyx lava Are you gonna oc your cpu?

[onyx lava]

No

Most likely not

[granite delta]

And samsung nvme is not the way to go

Well

You really don’t need that liquid cooler

You may have money, but you might as well spend it wisely

[onyx lava]

I agree, what should I get for the storage?

[granite delta]

Did you go with that mobo cause you can’t use ethernet?

[onyx lava]

But the liquid cooler, more specifically that one is just a want of mine

About that

I was really unsure about what mobo to get

[granite delta]

It all depends

How much do you think you would need?

[onyx lava]

Wym

Oh for storage?

I need at least ~800gb

[granite delta]

You could leave that aio cooler and upgrade to a 2tb nvme

And get a noctua nh-d15 cooler

That’s only if you know you’re gonna oc

If not

[onyx lava]

How much do those go for? 2 tb nvmes?

[granite delta]

The stock cooler should be just fine

I would have to check

You can prob get a 1tb hdd and 1tb nvme

Actually wait

[onyx lava]

I hate to say this but I want that aio because of the customizable screen

[granite delta]

Oh I see

Can’t really say anything

It’s your preference

[onyx lava]

Also figured aio would keep it more than cool for my needs

[granite delta]

You can go for a 2tb hdd and 1tb nvme

[onyx lava]

Do you have a recommended pair?

[granite delta]

Yeah one sec

I was watching a review of the cooler you had

It has better performance than most coolers

This pair

More than double the storage for less money

@onyx lava I recommend getting this case over the one you chose

Better airflow

[onyx lava]

Oh

[vital warren]

yeah cooler master has good options

[onyx lava]

I chose that case because of the looks really

[vital warren]

this one is nice as well

td500 mesh

[granite delta]

Same with the mobo?

[onyx lava]

The mobo I'll admit was more random

[granite delta]

Ah ok

Well

[onyx lava]

Was just trying to get one with wifi and type c

[granite delta]

Did you even need a wifi board?

Oh ok

Let me save you $100 rq

[onyx lava]

@vital warren that case looks good can you send link please

[vital warren]

https://www.newegg.com/white-gray-cooler-master-masterbox-td500-mesh-white-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119394?Description=td500 mesh&cm_re=td500_mesh-_-11-119-394-_-Product&quicklink=true

[onyx lava]

Thanks

[vital warren]

np

[onyx lava]

Do you think my aio radiator would fit on the top of that?

[granite delta]

@onyx lava

90% sure it has a type c port

[vital warren]

the case supports up to 360mm rad you should be fine

[onyx lava]

Oh ok nice

What's the difference between micro ATx and atx boards?

[granite delta]

Size

[onyx lava]

Really that's it?

[vital warren]

less pcie slots

[granite delta]

Oh yeah

That too

It’s really just the form factor and pcie

[onyx lava]

Are pcie slots for gpus?

[granite delta]

Yes

And wifi cards and stuff like that

[onyx lava]

Oh ok

I dont see type c on the io

[granite delta]

Let me check

It says it does, but I will check once again

I guess it doesn’t

[onyx lava]

Oh

[granite delta]

If you don’t mind me asking

What do you need a type c port for?

[onyx lava]

I plan to use it as a hub

Since it draws more power than normal usb

[granite delta]

Oh I see

I don’t even think any motherboards have a type c port

[desert gulch]

Yes they do

On the rear io

@granite delta what mono do you have?

[granite delta]

Mono?

[desert gulch]

Mobo

[granite delta]

Oh lmao

Well the build I’m going for is gonna have the asus prime b450

[plain cloak]

Where would I ask about AIOs

[granite delta]

#old-cooling

[vital warren]

i just ordered a asus b550-a

[fleet pagoda]

Is the 3070 or 3080 gonna be 500$?

[plain cloak]

Aight

[vital warren]

had to grab it for my white build

3070 = 500

3080 = 700

[granite delta]

Is the 3070 or 3080 gonna be 500$?
@fleet pagoda 3070

[fleet pagoda]

Ight

Ty

[granite delta]

@desert gulch so which mobos have a type c port

[desert gulch]

I have one

Most do

@granite delta

[fleet pagoda]

I need to get a better cpu any recomedations mu budget is like 300

[granite delta]

3700x

Most do
@desert gulch does this one have one?

[desert gulch]

Idk

Look at a pic of the rear io

Or the specs

[granite delta]

Really can’t find out

I did

But I really couldn’t see anything

[desert gulch]

No USB c

[vital warren]

for $300 i'd get a 3700x or an 10600k

[desert gulch]

On the msi one

[small heron]

What kind of a oc can you get with a normal 3700x

[desert gulch]

Depends on cooler

But rated up to 4.2

[small heron]

Stock😎

[desert gulch]

Ghz

[granite delta]

He needs a wifi board with a type c port

If you know any

[small heron]

3.0 = typeC

Check this out on @Newegg: fenvi FV-AX3000 WiFi 6 PCI-E 3000Mbps Bluetooth 5.0 Wifi Adapter Intel AX200 Wi-fi Card Wireless PCI Express 802.11ax/ac 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz Dual Band MU-MIMO OFDMA With Heat Sink, for Windows 10 Linux https://www.newegg.com/fenvi-fv-ax3000-pci-express/p/0XM-00JK-00075?Item=9SIADXZAWG3073&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIADXZAWG3073-_-09062020

Free wifi

[desert gulch]

Yeah built in Wi-Fi is gonna be more reliable

[ripe wedge]

not always

@small heron dont trust fenvi

read too many bad reviews on it

[small heron]

Idk just looked for cheapest

Lol

[ripe wedge]

I have one that I do use thats good

ill link it

https://www.newegg.com/asus-pce-ac55bt-b1-pci-express/p/N82E16833320333?Item=N82E16833320333

it also has a bluetooth card

works pretty well

[small heron]

No heatsink?

Ew

It qill thermal throttle

[ripe wedge]

I mean you can throw a heatsink on it for cheap

asus might have one with a heatsink ill check

[small heron]

Whats the range

[ripe wedge]

dont know exact range but it does pretty well going through like 4 walls downstairs to the corner of the house where the router is

[plush wigeon]

So if I get the job I applied for I made a list which has an increased limit from $1000 to a new $1700. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x6rD6R

[small heron]

Oof

Go for a 3080 in a 1700 build

[plush wigeon]

3070 would be fine as well, wouldn't it? Cheaper and still a ton better than 2080ti

[small heron]

3080 is only 50% better than a 2080ti

3070 on par

[vital warren]

thats quite a lot on corsair fans

[small heron]

Ikr

[onyx lava]

Sorry @vital warren forgot to ask you if the case you sent stock fans were good

[vital warren]

according to all my friends who have used them they work great

[onyx lava]

Ok thanks

[granite delta]

Pog

[plush wigeon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wPG2tp I adjusted the list.

[little leaf]

@plush wigeon no

Bad list

First

Why are going intel

2nd

[plush wigeon]

Primarily gaming. 9700k is good for that.

[little leaf]

Why tf 9th gen

[calm crypt]

@plush wigeon are u sure ur going with 9th gen Intel there’s no upgrade path any why not amd it’s cheaper and better

[little leaf]

10600k better

Dont spend 150 on aio

You could eaisly fit a 3080 jn here

Dont spend 170 on a case

[small heron]

$30 rosewill aio😎

[plush wigeon]

the aio is $129.99 not 150

[little leaf]

Oh cool 130

So much better lmao

[calm crypt]

Lol that’s still too much good aio budget is like 80 max in my@opinion

[plush wigeon]

ok. I'll go to my 1st choice for non-rgb aio

[little leaf]

80$ should get a rgb aio

[calm crypt]

Yea u could do that or get ar master 240 aio RGB for 50 bucks

Cooler master*

@plush wigeon

[little leaf]

Ah the master leaker

[calm crypt]

It’s an amazon exclusive so u gotta get it on there but I think the 240m I think it’s called is same with a circular water block

Lol I’ve had it for almost a year with no problems push pull setup with my r7 2700 at 4.1ghz

[plush wigeon]

is this better? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6YCCf9

[little leaf]

No

[calm crypt]

Ya that’s nice

Idk abt the mobo

[little leaf]

Lmao how are u not fitting in a 3080

In

You dont need 32gbs of rgb ram

[plush wigeon]

I don't need a 3080. 3070 works just fine

[calm crypt]

His case is too much

[little leaf]

Overpriced case

[calm crypt]

And 32 isn’t too overkill especially for multitasking

[little leaf]

Stupid to get worse for the price

But your money

32 is over kill

The case is known to be very good

[little leaf]

Lmao

Nice

[calm crypt]

Lol as long as It has airflow it can be 15 bucks

I made a bad desicion with my case it looks nice but runs hot af

But dude in the end it’s ur pc and ur money so if ur not gonna be happy with it don’t listen to us ya know

[stoic island]

@plush wigeon o11 is known to be good, as long as you slap in like 6 extra fans on top of the costs over a conventional case

You gotta remember it doesn't come with fans

So it's way overpriced

The conventional cases we are used to, like the TD500 mesh, is 100$ with fans included.

[spiral zealot]

i was actually just looking at an antec case the other day, $78 shipped from wegg, and comes with 5 fans, 3 argb front, and 2 black 120mm exhaust, one upper and one lower

i think it's the DF600 or something

and looks like reasonable airflow in general too

[jolly adder]

When installing ram, I skip the 2nd slot and put the ram in 3rd. Right?

[spiral zealot]

it depends on the board, the manual will usually have a diagram to tell you which slots correspond to which memory channel

some boards are slots 2/4 when starting at the CPU, others are 1/3

[small heron]

Anyone wanna link me a good 750w 80+ bronze/gold psu around 100

[knotty drum]

look up for corsair 750w RM Gold @small heron

[small heron]

Ok

[knotty drum]

thats what i have

[small heron]

Paying 80 dollars more for 100whatts 😭

[knotty drum]

it was on sale when i got it

[small heron]

Oof

$300 cpu + $700 Gpu + $80 dollar psu 😎

[knotty drum]

good deal

i wonder how much power does the 3070 gpu need?

[coarse coral]

650W psu recommended.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/iko4ir/geforce_rtx_30series_ampere_information_megathread/

[knotty drum]

ah ok thank you im glad that i got 750W

i was close to buy 650W

im planning to upgrade from 2070s to 3070 next year

[robust tide]

Is the 3700x good for streaming?

[split vale]

i'd like to see the lowest PSU people pull off running their Ampere cards on

should be most of the time, @robust tide

probably better than my 3600

[floral flare]

3070

[ionic sail]

So this is my "budget build".. I basically meant to just try replacing the motherboard on my original desktop, which is discontinued now, but I wound up going down the route of new mobo and case, but I needed DDR4 RAM for the new mobo, and it turned into a "cheap" build.

Mobo: gigabyte b450M ds3h wifi am4 amd sata 6Gb/s mATX motherboard

RAM = 4 GB patriot viper elite DDR4 2666 DIMMs ×2

Case: Cooler Master Master Box Q500L Mid Tower

PSU: EVGA 600 W ATX 12 V non modular 80 plus bronze power supply

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 4 core processor

[desert gulch]

no gpu?

[split vale]

it's an apu

/iGPU

is what it's replacing still working, @ionic sail?

[desert gulch]

yeah i know that

[ionic sail]

The CPU comes with radeon 8 vega graphics.

[desert gulch]

thats what the g stands for

you wont be gaming on it at all?

[split vale]

if what it's replacing is still working, maybe try to wait for Ryzen 4000 APUs

[ionic sail]

So basically I have a HP pavillion p7 1010 that hasn't worked for months at this point. All the components work, but I believe the mobo is dead

[desert gulch]

yeah

[ionic sail]

Idk if the CPU is dead but

[split vale]

like Ryzen 4300G

[split vale]

ah

[ionic sail]

It's an OEM deal

[split vale]

well, if you NEED a computer, then yeah. BUT

if you ahve a spare GPU, maybe look at the Ryzen 3100 or 3300X

if you plan on gaming

[ionic sail]

I don't have a spare gpu unfortunately

[split vale]

if you can spare ~$50-60, you might be able to ebay a video card and get the 3100, which should beat a 3200G at gaming i believe

[ionic sail]

The build is more for classwork stuff, I wound up going in this direction with it because the mobo is cheaper than the one I would've bought for this computer

Plus, it'll be my first actual build. So it's not like I'm wasting my money or anything. My gaming rig will be much better.

I'm probably getting the ryzen 5 3600 for my actual rig

Idk about motherboard just yet but I'm giving myself time to think about it

[split vale]

it's okay for 6 cores and lower

my AB350M DS3H (same VRM, heatsink) ran 87C on a 1700X, so just take care if you plan to upgrade to 8 cores and beyond. otherwise it's ok

how much is the DS3H?

[ripe quest]

the b450 or b550

[ionic sail]

B450

The mobo was 89.99 the Ram was 38.99, case was 59.99, psu was 69.99

[split vale]

ogod

i wouldn't pay over $70 for that

maaaaybe $80 in pandemic dollars

[ionic sail]

I figured it was more cuz pandemic

[ripe quest]

wait the ram was 39 bucks

wtf

what do you have 4 gigs of ddr3

[ionic sail]

DDR4

[ripe quest]

rlly

what speed

[ionic sail]

2666

PC4 21300

Hold on, 2666 is the speed right? I'm still learning somewhat

[split vale]

if it's not much more, maybe look to see if there's DDR4-3000 on the QVL

[ripe quest]

send me ur pcpartpicker list

@ionic sail

[ionic sail]

Pcpartpicker list?

[ripe quest]

you cant post links yet so just remove the http

[split vale]

your video performance on an APU depends on the DDR speed

[ripe quest]

yes

you are using pcpartpicker.com right?

[ionic sail]

But I'd taken the time to look into a few things before hand.

[ripe quest]

ok thx

i think 4 gigs of ram is not enough

at all in 2020

[ionic sail]

It's 8 gb

[ripe quest]

really

it says 4 gigs up there

[ionic sail]

I got 2 sticks of ram

[ripe quest]

i would still reccomend 16 gigs but u are on a budget

how much is your budget?

[split vale]

i'd say to start with 8

[ionic sail]

I was thinking about the 16 but for now 8 gbs will suit my purposes

[spiral zealot]

you can get 16gb for barely over $50 these days

[split vale]

Win10 runs surprisingly well on 8GB

[spiral zealot]

i think you can get a set of gskill for 57

[ionic sail]

I will build a better gaming rig

[split vale]

i could do most games (non-APU) ...except for BL3

[ionic sail]

I'll be sure to post here before I buy parts next time though

I really appreciate all the feedback

[split vale]

wellllll

[plush wigeon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Castlemight/saved/#view=bDWcbv here is all my saved part lists.

[split vale]

i'd definintely suggest an SSD for windows if you're running 8GB

tho i dunno how much worse it would run on an HDD, tho

[plush wigeon]

I have 3 lists, each with descriptions detailing what their price limit is

[ionic sail]

I do plan on getting an ssd

Just not right now, maybe next paycheck

[ripe quest]

it is significantly worse on an hdd

but even a 256 gig ssd is good as a boot drive

[split vale]

i'm trying my first Asrock right now

B450M Pro4

[spiral zealot]

yeah, if you're really on a budget you can get a cheap 2.5" sata ssd w/dram cache for probably under $40 or so

[ripe quest]

asrock boards are ok

nothing to write home about

[split vale]

seems pretty solid once i figured out how to make it stable with my pre-2012, maybe even 2010 PSU

it was unstable just at idle. i could do a day long encode just fine. but it woudl freeze at idle

[ionic sail]

Do I want a dram cache with the ssd?

[spiral zealot]

for a boot drive, it's preferred

[split vale]

yes

i'm also trialing SK Hynix S31

[ionic sail]

I had watched a few builds and they talked about having and not having it... I didn't know what to think

[split vale]

seems pretty decent for a budget SSD

[spiral zealot]

i have an asrock board and it's fine, it's definitely not as full featured as other x399 boards

[split vale]

i killed a Silicon Power A55 in a couple weeks

[ionic sail]

Also, what's VRM? Friend was telling me about power phases and I was a bit confused

I remember reading about -5V and -12V conversion stuff... seems like that's what he meant?

[split vale]

it's those blocks around the socket, sometimes with huge, gaudy heatsinks

[ripe quest]

you dont really need to worry about that stuff now

[split vale]

converts ?? to the 1.x volts the CPU needs

but yeah, if you're not going above 6 cores, you can pretty much ignore it

[ripe quest]

you can see on cheaper mobos like yours

it doesnt have a huge block right

whereas on more expensive ones

it has a block

and thats the heatsink

[ionic sail]

Ahhh okay

One day I'll be a lot more familiar with the terminology

[ripe quest]

you honestly dont need to worry about it

right now

[ionic sail]

Right

[split vale]

usually just overclockers care about it, but with up to 16 cores on AM4, it starts to matter a little if you go that high. or plan to

or on Intel if you want to OC 5ghz+

buuuuuuuut, a few good boards ~$100 are good with 16 cores (and moderate air flow)

[ionic sail]

Ok

I'm surprised at how much I genuinely enjoy looking up computer parts, tearing apart and putting parts back together..

[split vale]

it's fun

[ionic sail]

I kinda want to work at a PC store and just build and take apart computers for the experience... but idk.

[split vale]

yeah, i'd kinda like that, too, but the pay probably sucks unless you're the owner and the business is doing well

Adamant IT is one guy i've started watching a little when suuuuuper bored and not feeling like gaming

he's like Louis Rossmann but for PCs and maybe 2% of the soldering

How do I update the bios on a motherboard

I'm a little worried because it's saying I may need to update the bios on that mobo before I can use the amd ryzen 3 on it...

[split vale]

if you buy directly from newegg or bezos (and not a reseller) it's probably 99 or 99.9% likely to be ready for the CPU

[ionic sail]

Yup from newegg

[split vale]

and not one of their crappy resellers?

i bought a B450 end of june last year and it was ready for Zen 2

[long bear]

Has anyone here had success with the newegg pc builder lists

[ionic sail]

Nope, straight from newegg

[spiral zealot]

almost any new B450 board will be fine, that warning was really only relevant when ryzen 3000 first came out

at this point, new boards from the factory will have the right bios

[split vale]

some guy on the RPCS3 discord claims to have bought a mobo from a Newegg reseller and it was DOA 😩

[ionic sail]

I'm actually glad I got most of the stuff straight from newegg

[split vale]

and then the reseller claimed to have not received the return shipment

[ionic sail]

The ryzens from ebay

[split vale]

how muhc?

[ionic sail]

didn't see it on Amazon, I'm a little worried about that one. Got it for $97

[split vale]

if their ratings are good and they sell a lot of computer parts (and they're in the US) they're probably ok

$97 is a bit low to me

entering sketchy territory a bit

oh wait

ugh, you're talking 3200G

[ionic sail]

I'd seen the price as like $99 they're based in the US

[split vale]

mixed it up with someone else's 3600

[ionic sail]

ohh

[split vale]

yeah, that's okayish

little bit high, but hardware availability is weird

[plush wigeon]

Except on Amazon. Good rated sellers could have fake reviews or bribed for the good ones. There's already evidence some have done so

[ionic sail]

Again, glad I went the newegg routd

I was gonna buy on Amazon at first

[plush wigeon]

Be wary of price gougy or super overpriced prices.

[split vale]

for Amazon, look at Camelcamelcamel.com to avoid gouging (also works for getting a feel as to what it should be similar to on the 'egg)

it's a shame newegg kicked out camelegg.com 😒

[plush wigeon]

i've only bought one OEM case/build, and taht's when DDR4 was crazy expensive

[ionic sail]

I'm just amazed. I'm literally thinking about building this computer. I can't sleep

[split vale]

it was removable but you had to slide it s ideways a bit to remove (Thinkstation P300)

never doing that again if i can help it

proprietary fan headers (so it wouldn't slow down with normal fans), proprietary power connector, proprietary USB/sound/power headers

[ionic sail]

Hmm

[plain cloak]

Where would I ask about case fans

[lusty glacier]

I've got a problem with my build, hopefully somebody here may have had the same issue recently:

Ryzen 7 3700x with Wraith Prism, using the Wraith Prism software to control it.
Asus Prime x570 Pro, RGB controlled with iCUE.
2x16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB, controlled with iCUE.

When I put my computer to sleep, all of the LEDs stay on except for the Wraith. I've enabled the ERP thing in bios, and I've set the LED behavior when the PC is in a non working state to Stealth Mode in bios. Bios will save my changes when I make them, but changes back to how it was before when I reboot so the changes never really take effect. Any idea what I can do to fix this? I also tried using the Aura Sync software to shut things down when the computer shuts down, but it didn't work. If I want the lights to go out I need to flip the switch on the PSU and cut power entirely.

I just uninstalled iCUE, restarted, changed the setting in bios to Stealth Mode again, loaded to desktop, and when I put the computer to sleep every LED was still lit - so I guarantee you when I check the bios again instead of Stealth Mode it'll be set to "Aura Only."

[coarse coral]

@lusty glacier which lights are on on which products

[lusty glacier]

The Corsair ram is lit, and the motherboard section above the IO and on the little fan

[plain cloak]

Ngl.. all these companies having their own "proprietary software" (that only works with their stuff, and nothing else) is kinda dumb..

[lusty glacier]

Sure is

The only thing that turns the lights off is the Wraith Prism

[coarse coral]

yeah setting it to stealth mode should have fixed it, my only guess is that aura sync is bugged and you may need to clean install it so it stops overriding the aura-on-shutdown setting

[lusty glacier]

It was doing this before I installed Aura Sync, and I've since uninstalled it to see if that would help because it did nothing for me lol

[coarse coral]

[lusty glacier]

I'm going to try uninstalling the Wraith Prism software and give it a shot

brb wish me luck

[celest horizon]

Woah, theo helping troubleshoot?

[coarse coral]

Woah, theo helping troubleshoot?
@celest horizon i always help people

[celest horizon]

[plain cloak]

Where would I ask about RGB, and stuff

[lusty glacier]

Back to Aura Only

[coarse coral]

make sure to uninstall these t oo

they autoinstall with aura

[lusty glacier]

Alright

[coarse coral]

after you uninstall those and aura use this.

[lusty glacier]

Also - if I’m enabling stealth mode do I need to enable ErP S4+S5 or just S5?

[coarse coral]

then restart computer

i think when i had the rgb problem i turned all soft states off

[lusty glacier]

I’m not familiar with that term, is ErP a soft state? So leave it disabled?

[celest horizon]

ERP is a power saving mode

I'd leave it disabled, doesn't really make much of a difference

[lusty glacier]

That’s what I was reading, it apparently should reduce the power the motherboard gets during sleep and wouldn’t let the lights light up

[celest horizon]

Ya, if you want to wake the pc from usb devices, charge your phone etc, leave it off.

[lusty glacier]

Okay

Saved, rebooting, I’ll try a sleep then run the aura cleaner

Ignore the cables, waiting on fans still. RGB still going during sleep.

[coarse coral]

ERP is set to off?

[lusty glacier]

Yes

But guaranteed if I check the bios Stealth Mode changed itself to Aura Only again.

[coarse coral]

i wonder why its not saving

[lusty glacier]

And at this point there is zero software installed to control RGB

[coarse coral]

usually ERP changes will do the trick

that was my last resort

[lusty glacier]

It couldn't be a Windows power profile overriding it eh?

[stoic island]

ERP on time?

[ionic sail]

Sup

[coarse coral]

have you tried seeing if s5 only will work?

[lusty glacier]

I can do ERP on to try again, should I re-enable Stealth Mode at the same time?

No I have not, but I can

[coarse coral]

yes stealth mode

[lusty glacier]

S5 + Stealth, coming up

[coarse coral]

try stealth mode + erp off and stealthmode + erp s5 if it doesnt work

errr s4

i think s4 is the lowest power state in erp if i remember

besides off

[lusty glacier]

Lmao bios changed sleep to “all on” not just aura this time

[coarse coral]

if all all else fails, reset cmos and set all your computer stuff over again

[lusty glacier]

I don’t have just S4

[coarse coral]

yeah just double check its all on stealth on onboard leds and see how each erp works out

[lusty glacier]

Doing s5 first

[coarse coral]

pretty sure disabled is what worked on my older asus board

my only thing is why it isnt saving your settings

[still roost]

Seniri#5304 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lusty glacier]

Whoops

[coarse coral]

its more like aura sync program and bios interaction is crap

for the past few generations of boards now

i had this problem with old z270 board when i had my 7700k

[lusty glacier]

S5 did nothing, trying s4+

That far back eh

[coarse coral]

could be aura sync on windows overwritting

the aura service is still on there ifyou didnt uninstall and clean it correctly

[lusty glacier]

How would I check that? And it’s set to aura only again

Hmm

The file you sent, should it have opened something or just flashed at me briefly?

[coarse coral]

that file actually clears the registry of it

https://www.asus.com/campaign/aura/upload/download/20180420013758_m1.pdf

thats the faq file

. Uninstall Aura through the control panel and reboot your system.
2. (Optional) Run Aura Cleaner tool available here.
3. Download the latest version of Aura available.
4. Unzip and open the file, right click on “Setup”. Under Properties\Compatibility, select “Run as
administrator”. Apply and close Properties window

[lusty glacier]

I just mean it didn’t open any windows, just flashed super quick

[coarse coral]

yeah

thats normal

[lusty glacier]

Okay awesome

[coarse coral]

but

make sure to run the cleaner as admin

[lusty glacier]

Did

[coarse coral]

hmm

do you have asus armory installed

[lusty glacier]

Stealth + S4/S5 no effect

Nope, I removed it to troubleshoot

[coarse coral]

okay good

reinstall the newest aura sync now

and set sync at shutdown to off

and do a few pwer cycles to check

[lusty glacier]

Trying now

Okay, that worked for the motherboard leds - should I reinstall iCUE and set the ram to software controlled? That worked for the sticks last time

[coarse coral]

yeah go for it

[lusty glacier]

Stealth mode stayed on this time!

[coarse coral]

i dont see why your ram sticks would light up tho

[lusty glacier]

I don't see either, trying a sleep again

[coarse coral]

my only guess is you put a check mark on full software control in icue and its being controlled through asus aura.

[lusty glacier]

Ram still stays on, everything else is fine

No I haven't checked that box yet but when I used it yesterday it shut the lights off on the ram, I'll give it another go

[coarse coral]

kk

set the rgb color to black too in instant lighting

see if that will help

[lusty glacier]

Software control didn't help

[coarse coral]

ERP set to off?

[lusty glacier]

I believe so

Instant lighting to black turns off all RGB on the board

[coarse coral]

in icue, uncheck "enable plugins"

then try again

[lusty glacier]

No dice

[coarse coral]

weird

not sure then

[wary geode]

oh yeah ive had this issue

i still have it

[coarse coral]

the mobo lights are off which is fixed

[wary geode]

it sucks i had to do a bios update and test each ram stick for voerclockage

[coarse coral]

i dont know why the ram lights are on tho

[lusty glacier]

In any case thanks so much for your help - I wouldn't have gotten this far without you c:

[coarse coral]

uwu

[wary geode]

theo is very smart trust him

this is the first time ive seen him other than general

[lusty glacier]

Haha excellent timing

[deep skiff]

😳

[coarse coral]

the ram doesnt need a firmware update right?

[lusty glacier]

No, I tried that first

[coarse coral]

hmm

[lusty glacier]

I'll mash it again though

[coarse coral]

for lighting effects, set it to black

then shut down computer and see if it sticks

[wary geode]

oh yeah the issue semmed resolved after i took out the ram and took off every software related to rgb and installed them again but icue last

[coarse coral]

[lusty glacier]

When set to black it sticks

[wary geode]

and you must enable full software contorl

otherwise icue doesnt work properly

[coarse coral]

enable full software control is only if he wants aura sync to take control of it, no?

[wary geode]

saying as i have 5 different rgb programs

[coarse coral]

well he can try

[lusty glacier]

I’ll try FSC again but it was freezing the rgb on the ram

[wary geode]

no full software is only icue controls that particular part

[coarse coral]

i see

[wary geode]

yeah ive had this issue

[lusty glacier]

If full software is disabled the ram saved the colour profile, if it’s enabled it gets the commands from iCUe

[wary geode]

but with me it was a coding issue and specific rgb sequence that caused a freeze due to confusion of board and ram

you have to restart for effecgts to take place

[lusty glacier]

Okay, one sec

[wary geode]

[coarse coral]
