little osprey
#

its not letting

#

pcpp

mortal rampart
#

what level are you lmao

#

oh nvm

#

rookie i see

#

dm me

little osprey
#

gimme a sec

mortal rampart
#

you're not gonna wait on the new cards??

#

i gotta be painfully honest

#

im cringing

#

the only thing i like is the psu

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

ok

#

any suggestions

#

im on a budget btw

#

1800 AUD

mortal rampart
#

including the monitor?

#

im guessing

#

you need peripherals too??

little osprey
#

i have peripherals

#

including monitor

#

i mean i dont have monitor

mortal rampart
#

oh okay

#

i was a lil confused lmao

#

hol up

#

you like rgb??

little osprey
#

yes

#

im a RGB addict

#

lmao

mortal rampart
#

okok

#

you gonna be doing any ocing with your rig or no?

little osprey
#

yeah

#

fine tuning tho

mortal rampart
#

oh okay

little osprey
#

i just changed my mobo

#

ASRock B550 Pro4 mATX

#

and im thinking of switching to NZXT 5101 i think is what it is

#

or just sticking with what i have

mortal rampart
#

so you have that nzxt 5101?

#

and b550 is a scam imo

little osprey
#

ok

#

no like i might get the 5101

#

so what mobo then

mortal rampart
#

just stick with a b450

#

not much benefit to go for b550 imo

little osprey
#

how bout a Gigabyte B450M AORUS ELITE

mortal rampart
#

nah those arent worth it

#

a b450 asrock steel legend

little osprey
#

ok

mortal rampart
#

and its rbg gang

little osprey
#

ive considered that before lmaop

mortal rampart
#

thats what i have currently and i love it

little osprey
#

wait

#

B-450m

mortal rampart
#

from gigabyte?

little osprey
#

found it nvm

#

ASRock B450 Steel Legend ATX AM4 Motherboard

mortal rampart
#

yes

#

thats the one

little osprey
#

did u need to Bios update?

mortal rampart
#

nah it came with it

#

thats cause i got mine used

little osprey
#

ah

mortal rampart
#

it'll say it on the box tho

#

and if it doesnt just return it

little osprey
#

im scared of buying used pc parts

mortal rampart
#

i'd rather return it than have it brick my system

#

ya me too dont worry lmao your's is gonna be all new

little osprey
#

theres thing in my head that someone fricked it up with a virus

mortal rampart
#

thats what i have so far

#

ram is ram

little osprey
#

ok

mortal rampart
#

you can exchange it for higher quality and speed

#

but its not worth it imo

#

the biggest jump in perf is from 3000 to 3200

#

not so much 3600

little osprey
#

ohoh

#

thats usd

mortal rampart
#

yaya

#

it'll be like 1300 aus

#

aud

little osprey
#

and the ram you cant find in aus

mortal rampart
#

pain

little osprey
#

only like amazon

#

i wanna buy local

mortal rampart
#

oh okay then find a nice deal on some ram ig

little osprey
#

that ram is sick tho ngl

mortal rampart
#

and a beefy psu for upgradability

#

since the cards are gonna pull a lot of power

little osprey
#

yeah

mortal rampart
#

you'd still have like $400 to spare although that is without a gpu on the build i just sent

little osprey
#

yeah

mortal rampart
#

cause you could get a 2070s for the same price as a 2060s

#

or just save an extra $100 and buy a 3070 brand new

#

then the only thing lacking is the monitor

little osprey
#

yesh

#

i need like a not crapy monitor

#

to support 3070

mortal rampart
#

i feel peripherals should have different budgets since they have dont directly affect performance

#

thats what i did so after i bought my pc

#

i got a nice monitor

#

1440p 144hz

#

for like $260

little osprey
#

i found like this pretty decent perifrirals like keyboard mouse and headset combo for like 60 Aud

#

i can spell

#

its RGB

mortal rampart
#

yeah but like a monitor at 1080p for a 3070 is like choking it lmao

little osprey
#

ikr

mortal rampart
#

thats why i'd get a crappy one for now and save up

little osprey
#

thats what implanning

#

but im also tryna save for a flight sim setup

mortal rampart
#

you cold probably go even cheaper than the one i just sent

#

lmaooo

#

thats a couple hundred more

little osprey
#

ikj

mortal rampart
#

ya so

little osprey
#

i have to be careful with what i pick out

mortal rampart
#

worry about long term

little osprey
#

yeah

mortal rampart
#

not so much what you want atm

#

you'll regret it later

little osprey
#

thats why i join these servers for help

#

like u have

#

thanks

mortal rampart
#

np yw

wary geode
#

Can a pc not boot technically from the gpu if it doesn’t have a internet connection

wraith trail
stoic island
#

sure

#

Different case, get a P1 500gb, that's my thoughts @wraith trail

#

and used GPU pricing is weird

#

sooo yea

wraith trail
#

ok

#

and one more question

stoic island
#

You can keep the PSU and HDD, maybe hold onto the 1070 for a bit, everything else can get swapped out

#

unless you need 32gb of ram for something, single stick of 16gb is kinda icky

wraith trail
#

i was think of getting 32gb

#

what would you recommend for cpu and mobo

stoic island
#

3600+cheapish b550 like a ds3h

wraith trail
#

wouldn't i need a higher frequency ram

stoic island
#

not need, but preferred

wraith trail
#

thanks for you help

stoic island
#

@wraith trail anyways ram situation wise, you can either buy another of the same stick, or buy 2x8gb of 3600c16 ram

wraith trail
#

ok

sleek kraken
#

Yeah definitely get at least two sticks, whatever total capacity you go wiht

wraith trail
#

u have any case recommendation for the first list

sleek kraken
#

2 sticks or 4 sticks

#

Lian Li Lancool 2 or Mesh is great

stoic island
#

At that price or more expensive?

wraith trail
#

that price or less

stoic island
#

TD500 mesh or Meshify C or P400a for 100$ range

#

at 60$ or so, Focus G, P300a, and Mx330-g

sleek kraken
#

yup was also gonna say Meshify C

wraith trail
#

ok thanks

stoic island
#

Focus G is a chonky looking boi

#

not great looking

#

but it does come with 2 fans at a cheapish price

sleek kraken
#

Oh hey if you actually do spend $500 on the gpu and that's not just weird used pricing. I would do the 3070 when it comes out

stoic island
#

2 months or so tho

sleek kraken
#

True

#

Definitely worth the wait

#

it would dramatically change what the pc is capable of

stoic island
#

if you are spending 500$.

sleek kraken
#

for the same price

#

yes

#

if you dont want to spend that much just keep the 10 series

#

but if you're already spending $500 my recommendation would be to wait for 3070 unless you need your pc now

stoic island
#

hmm interesting

#

2080s are around 400$ bidding on ebay

#

a bunch were bought at 350$

sleek kraken
#

or if you want to spend less you can find a 2070 Super for 350-400

analog hearth
#

Holy bruh, really?

sleek kraken
#

yea

#

im trying to sell my 2070 super and most of my offers are around 300-350

analog hearth
#

You mean I just bought my 2080 Super for $700 and now they’re worth like, $400 at most?

sleek kraken
#

and mines white

analog hearth
#

Bruhhhh

stoic island
sleek kraken
#

lmao

#

yup

analog hearth
#

Hell

sleek kraken
#

at 700 you coulda got the 3080

stoic island
#

400-450 rn

wraith trail
#

is the psu good for AU

sleek kraken
#

4k gaming at over 100fps AVERAGE

stoic island
analog hearth
#

EVGA Black Gaming for $311 :/

#

That’s the one I have :////

sleek kraken
#

oof

stoic island
#

those are sold items

analog hearth
#

I regret a lot now lollll

#

Oh bruh

stoic island
#

so that's actual pricing

sleek kraken
#

yea thats why all the youtubers are screaming at everyone to not buy gpus

stoic island
#

not just being bid on

sleek kraken
#

yup

#

big oof

stoic island
#

there are some starting bid 300$ but ofc it's not gonna be sold that low

sleek kraken
#

thats why im sellin mine to try and get 3080

#

at least i can make half the 3080 price back when i sell it

#

spend only 350 to over double my performance sounds good to me

#

time to play MSFS 2020

stoic island
#

oh hey

#

2070 is still being sold at like 300$

sleek kraken
#

yea thats what ive seen

stoic island
#

nice

sleek kraken
#

my main selling point is that mine is white lol

stoic island
#

not that much depreciation after a year and a half eh

sleek kraken
#

might make a little more

stoic island
#

my duke oc looks thicc

sleek kraken
#

guess not

#

lol

stoic island
#

so I might get a bit more for it

sleek kraken
#

true

#

and bc oc

analog hearth
#

@sleek kraken what case is that?

sleek kraken
#

Meshify C

analog hearth
#

Yummy

#

I want one now

sleek kraken
#

i love it, great case

analog hearth
#

I want it bruh

#

None of my components are white, though

sleek kraken
#

yeah white components is a pain lol

analog hearth
#

I just want a white version of everything so I don’t have to stick with black :(

sleek kraken
#

truuuue

#

but

#

the 3000 series founders edition cards look AMAZING

#

i just want a white one :/

#

and titanium is hard to paint

stoic island
#

It would be really hard to powder paint or spray paint FE

#

because of the fins

#

It's like how most white cards still have the heatsink black, just a white shroud

sleek kraken
#

yeah exactly

#

thats the one i have

#

i wouldnt paint the heatsink that would be near impossible

stoic island
#

yea lol

sleek kraken
#

i would paint the outer trim piece

stoic island
#

the whole look of FE is nice heatsink imo

sleek kraken
#

it really os

#

is

#

but idk if it would clash too hard with all my white parts

stoic island
#

oh wait

#

lmfao

sleek kraken
#

what

stoic island
#

I think

sleek kraken
#

silver/bronze

#

hard to tell

stoic island
#

tryna get a good pic

sleek kraken
#

some pics look either color

#

look up a YT vid or something

#

looks more bronze in that

stoic island
#

too lazy :P

sleek kraken
#

lol

stoic island
sleek kraken
#

but i was thinking about painting that outer silver/bronze part

stoic island
sleek kraken
#

lol

#

like i haved $1500 to spend on a gpu

#

3080 time

stoic island
#

the shroud design is all about the same

sleek kraken
#

or a case big enough

#

yeah true

stoic island
#

just smaller on 3080 and 3070

sleek kraken
#

only different design is 3070

#

nah 3070 is different

stoic island
#

oh right

#

3070 is weird in terms of cooling

#

but shroud still looks like the rest

stoic island
#

in the like hourglass shape

#

yea

sleek kraken
#

those look way darker

stoic island
#

I think that's preproduction

sleek kraken
#

the 3070 looks more silver but the 80 and 90 are like a dark bronze

#

idk

stoic island
#

look at all the Nvidia photos from the announcement

sleek kraken
#

tur

#

true

#

i did watch nvidias whole video

earnest ravine
stoic island
sleek kraken
#

oh u right

stoic island
#

@earnest ravine way too expensive for 1080p imo

sleek kraken
#

good eye

stoic island
#

200$ and it's good

#

I'll grab an example monitor

earnest ravine
#

ok

sleek kraken
#

best pic ive found

#

god its beautiful

stoic island
#

yea

sleek kraken
#

so like dark bronze

earnest ravine
#

how much is it going to cost

#

the gpu

sleek kraken
#

3070 - $500
3080 - $700

stoic island
#

3070 500$, 3080 700$, 3090 1500$

sleek kraken
#

3090 - #1500

#

lol

#

if u want 1080p only dont buy any of these lmao

stoic island
#

3070 is fine

#

ultra settings on fs2020 >:D

sleek kraken
#

yeah but u could save a couple hundred and just buy a 20 or 10 sereis

#

if u only need 1080p

#

YES

stoic island
#

but dem ultra settings in fs2020

sleek kraken
#

my thoughts exactly

stoic island
#

Crysis RTX

sleek kraken
#

YES

#

hahha

#

fs2020 is the new crysis at this point

stoic island
#

You know how Crysis is getting a remake with RTX?
It's gonna take back the "but can it run Crysis"

sleek kraken
#

dang

#

true

little osprey
#

3080 better run that no problem

sleek kraken
#

ikr

#

yo JayzTwoCents just got a 3080

#

now we can check the color for sure haha @stoic island

stoic island
#

Ima wait til GN gets one

#

or buildzoid

#

lol

sleek kraken
#

lol

stoic island
sleek kraken
#

well at least he can show the color accurately

stoic island
#

I see it

earnest ravine
#

im thinking about getting 1660 super as my starter gpu is it a good gpu or should i get something else

sleek kraken
#

oooo

calm crypt
#

Bitwit Ltt or gamers nexus

sleek kraken
#

official unboxing

stoic island
sleek kraken
#

i like Jay tho

#

hes cool

calm crypt
#

1660s is good but wait for 30 series the price will prolly drop

earnest ravine
#

ok

sleek kraken
#

GN can get hard to watch the whole vid hahaha

calm crypt
#

Fax

stoic island
#

GN is best watched at 1.5x if you're only watching

calm crypt
#

It’s good in the beginning

sleek kraken
#

lol

stoic island
#

or read the article

sleek kraken
#

both true

calm crypt
#

Then it gets bad

stoic island
#

I like listening to the whole video at 1x when I'm playing a game or doing other stuff

calm crypt
#

Yea that’s tru mr1111

stoic island
#

it's soothing

earnest ravine
#

budget is 800

sleek kraken
stoic island
#

I go make list

#

I be back soon

sleek kraken
#

nice

stoic island
sleek kraken
#

ooof

calm crypt
#

Bro noooooo

earnest ravine
#

big OOF

sleek kraken
#

everyone building again!!!

earnest ravine
#

lol

stoic island
earnest ravine
#

thxs @stoic island

sleek kraken
#

nice nice

#

like the b550

#

Rocket gpu

calm crypt
#

lol

plain cloak
#

If I had questions regarding hubs for fans, and stuff, where would I ask them

pure thistle
#

probs cooling

little osprey
#

Any good builds with the nzxt h510? Rgb with 1000-1100 budget

stoic island
#

Why h510 @little osprey

little osprey
#

Ion know lol any case tbh

#

As long as rgb

stoic island
#

Lol that's much easier

little osprey
#

Yea sorry to confuse lmao

#

Can my budget run 1440p at high fps@stoic island ?

stoic island
#

Building now or later

little osprey
#

Later later on

stoic island
#

If you can build in a month or so, easily

#

Building now, maybe..?

little osprey
#

Like a year and a half I'd have to save to build

#

Lol nah yea within 2 months or so

stoic island
little osprey
#

Ok thanks

stoic island
#

Anyways come again when you have all your monies

#

Because market keeps changing yaknow

little osprey
#

Ight will do

#

Yea kinda hard to make lists if your planning on taking some time b4 building

stoic island
#

I'm on mobile rn so I'm too lazy to grab a cheaper decent psu :p
But you can save like 30$ there with like a cx650 or smth

little osprey
#

Does the case come in black?

stoic island
#

Yes

little osprey
#

Ight thanks

#

And a 650w will run the 3070?

stoic island
#

550w will run it :p

little osprey
#

Ok thanks!

stoic island
#

As long as the PSU has 2x pcie 8 pin and is 500w+ it should be fine

odd crypt
#

Hey

#

@stoic island

#

Is this a good 750$ budget

little osprey
#

Lemme get 2 number 9's a number 9 large, a number 6 wit extra dip, 2 number 45's one wit cheese and a large soda

stoic island
#

Get a 3100 for cpu

#

Aegis 3200c16 is 1$ cheaper, and I like gskill over team

#

And you could get a better psu but br is decent enough for cheaper builds

graceful flint
#

I need to get ram for a hp 690-0073w

#

does newegg have ram for that model?

odd crypt
#

There is no aegis

little osprey
stoic island
odd crypt
#

Nvm

#

Here

little osprey
#

Is it worth adding 3600mhz ram or is 3200 good?

stoic island
#

I thought the budget was 1100$?

#

3600mhz is worth, I only went 3200mhz in the first list to save monies

odd crypt
#

Anything else sir?

little osprey
#

Oh ok well I'll upgrade to 3600mhz thanks for the list again appreciate it

stoic island
#

That works, ignore pcpp yelling at you about bios update

odd crypt
#

Ik

#

It is 698$ awesome

little osprey
#

What's the best 3600mhz ram for 16gb?

stoic island
#

G.skill ripjaw v 3600c16 at 70$

little osprey
#

Ok thanks

stoic island
#

Best price to perf

little osprey
#

Thanks 👍

stoic island
#

"best" 3600mhz ram would be some ridiculous 3600c13 ram or something

little osprey
#

Damn well anyway here is the final product

stoic island
#

That works

little osprey
#

Thanks appreciate it

#

Lemme put this in notes

sleek kraken
#

lol

stoic island

Linux

#

Random question; I’m looking to upgrade the processor on my fiancé’s pc, and was wondering if you guy have any deal spot. She currently has an i5 6600, which means that 7th gen is the best I could slap in there. Thing is, the 7600 is kind of expensive for being 3 gens old at this point. I’d rather not swap out her whole motherboard/processor combo if i don’t have to...

timber swallow
#

ello

#

oh no links bruh lmao

cursive wharf
#

@timber swallow get a 10600k/10700k, 4000MT/s CL16 or 3600MT/s CL14 RAM, and potentially a 3080. Also what's with the large amount of RAM? If going workstation then go AMD. Can also save money on Win key that are like $15 instead of the $150+

timber swallow
#

ooooo THANK U

#

where can i get the win key

#

also im using this for modeling video editing comp fn mc val streaming rl ow

#

@cursive wharf ^

#

so it's gaming and workstation

cursive wharf
timber swallow
#

streamin

#

gaming

#

the retail key right

cursive wharf
#

how much modeling/video editing? Streaming is easy due to the NVENC encoder in the Nvidia GPU
And yeah

#

rather actually, what kind of modeling/video editing? Depending on that is whether you need 16gb / 32gb of RAM. 32gb of very high end RAM might be quite a pricy purchase

timber swallow
#

a little bit

#

i don't do it rn

#

cause idrk how to

#

but i wanna learn and for school im doing 3d modeling

cursive wharf
#

like CAD stuff?

timber swallow
#

yeah

#

this is like the pc for the rest of my life byw

#

btw*

#

@cursive wharf ^

cursive wharf
#

I assume more like 7 - 9 years? I'd take a guess after that long it'd feel like a garbage PC compared to what'd be out by then

timber swallow
#

yeah probs

#

i might also do halo

cursive wharf
#

yeha, high end RAM is expensive. Almost 3x as much as that standard RAM, gain about 6% - 10% perf on the high FPS (as in not CPU/GPU limited). Can get it cheaper if you know how to tune frequency and timings for RAM

timber swallow
#

me no smat for pc stuf

#

dumb language pls

cursive wharf
#

super fast RAM give more perf for high cost.
can make decent fast RAM be super fast RAM if you're PC smart for less money

timber swallow
#

ohhhh

#

ok

#

that makes sense

#

sooo is my pc good orrr

desert gulch
#

cl0 ram

#

negative cl ram

cursive wharf
timber swallow
#

it's under budget for now tbh

#

my budget is 2.5k

stoic island
#

Holy ram

timber swallow
#

lmao

cursive wharf
#

well, plans for 360Hz display, RAM can get upto a 10% perf boost with no CPU/GPU bottleneck

stoic island
#

Hei, what does that high perf ram do on Intel?

#

Oh I see

#

4000c15 like Jesus

desert gulch
#

lol

stoic island
#

That's prob really good b die

timber swallow
#

@cursive wharf supposably the intel i9 was for higher fps

#

idk tho lmao

stoic island
#

No

#

10600k oc plus memory tuning easily beats 10900k

timber swallow
#

oh

cursive wharf
#

problem with 10600k, I think it has a worse IMC on average then 10900k

timber swallow
#

so that pc give me 360+fps?

#

thx for helping me btw lmao

stoic island
#

Eh, it's to be expected to be lower bin yaknow

timber swallow
#

also what's the difference between OEM and Full

#

for the operating system

cursive wharf
#

OEM/retail allows for multiple reinstalls of the OS from an upgrade

#

if you upgrade your mobo Windows will count that as a reinstall

timber swallow
#

ohh

cursive wharf
#

so OEM means if you upgrade mobo then you buy new OS

timber swallow
#

ok

cursive wharf
#

also when you build it come back here so we can try to give you a basic CPU OC. That way RAM isnt as wasted, cuz without it it kinda is a waste

timber swallow
#

ok

#

if i want i can update the cpu to an i9 right

#

or is it not worth

cursive wharf
#

does that 2.5k budget include monitor?

timber swallow
#

yes

cursive wharf
#

then spend it on that first

timber swallow
#

ook

cursive wharf
#

360Hz display will be expensive

timber swallow
#

yeah

#

it's either 240hz or 360

cursive wharf
#

If you plan to go 240Hz, you can downgrade a fair few things tbh

timber swallow
#

ok

#

so

#

doesn't nvidia recommend a 750 psu?

#

or does it just not mater

cursive wharf
#

I'd more then likely say switch over to AMD Ryzen for 240Hz as it gives enough perf to be close enough to the display refresh rate.
As for PSU, 750w isnt really needed. Should be fine with 700w. Considering you arent super into PCs I dont think you'll do a very large OC

timber swallow
#

also ima see if i can find a cheaper 1 tb ssd

#

yeah

#

ok

cursive wharf
#

you can, but it'll be worse

timber swallow
#

oh

#

ok

#

i just want a pc to game alot of comp, stream, and work

#

alot of work

cursive wharf
#

The SSD chosen in my list was the cheapest NVMe with good specs. You can go SATA and find a cheap and good SATA drive. Tho given you're doing a lot of work then idk about that

timber swallow
#

ive been in the pcpp discord all day too

#

that's how i got the first discord i showed u

eh, tis is fine. We are slowly getting through it

@cursive wharf what this mean The G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-4000 CL15 Memory operating voltage of 1.5 V exceeds the Intel Comet Lake CPU recommended maximum of 1.35 V+5% (1.417 V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.35 V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

deep skiff
#

xmp usually runs at 1.35V aka intel recommended

cursive wharf
#

Intel only recommends so much voltage for the RAM. As it's very high end RAM it requires a lot of voltage, over Intel's recommended spec. However running 1.5v is still quite safe on a RAM stick or Intels IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) with a heatsink

deep skiff
#

and to get it to run at 1.35v it might run at a lower mhz like 3600 or something

#

depends on the die but yeah for good kits it should be fine at 1.5

timber swallow
#

isn't two sticks of 8gb of ram better than 4 of 4gb

#

@cursive wharf srry for so many pings lmao

deep skiff
#

yeah its preferred

solemn rover
cursive wharf
#

@timber swallow it would be 2x16gb vs 4x8gb in this case. While preferred the 2x16gb kits cost more, I went with the cheapest high performance kit available

@granite delta not sure

I think there was a cheaper b550 mobo that ive seen but id need to check again

yeah

the gigabyte one

but it covers the other pcie if you have a big card

I mean that one is good

maybe

#

I say maybe because im not a product reviewer and dont have all these parts at my disposal lol

should I wait for cyber monday or you think it's a good deal now?

#

@granite delta I dont have any recommendations because I havent bought one before but Id think it would be an good enough motherboard for most people but it is also a M-atx mobo so keep that in mind if you are getting a mid tower aka ATX case it might look odd in a big case

granite delta
#

okie

ripe wedge
#

so many weird brands for m.2 2242 ssds

#

looking for some on amazon/newegg

#

but its overpriced for $128gb

granite delta
#

are there any good sides on having more than one pcie slot?

unborn solstice

this pc appears to be cloud based with the only drive just for boot. is that correct? if so, why are u upgrading the storage? is there something you absolutely need offline?

@granite delta gpus, wifi cards, capture cards, m.2 drives, etc

its nice to have atleast 1 x4 slot aswell

I guess but sli is kinda dead

i mean x16 in most cases doesnt even get half filled. its really just better for splitting bandwidth

vital warren
foggy hazel
#

hello again @small kraken sorry for you getting lost in the shuffle earlier

#

checking your build over atm

small kraken
#

no worries.. revised the build a bit. i think itll work well .. just loooking to game at 2k 144.. my worries would be mobo and ram

desert gulch
#

@vital warren when your cpu cooler is more than the mobo lol

foggy hazel
#

i would personally go with 2* 16 of the ripjaws, they are 160-ish vs the 105-ish for the 2 *8 kit

small kraken
#

ok i just didnt want to go over kill .. but i like it

foggy hazel
#

take note that you grab the cl16 2 * 16kit

#

2 * 16 is not overkill

small kraken
#

cl 16 is clock speed? turnover speed.. should i try different ram? i was just keeping it low profile with less rbg..

stoic island
#

CL 16 is Cas Latency

foggy hazel
#

simple answer: just nod your head and say yes

knotty relic
foggy hazel
#

as for the PSU, i would recommend that you grab something like this

#

i am personally very much NOT a fan of the CXM you had on there

#

as for the mainboard, its solid @small kraken

#

but do remember, you can get a windows license for a good deal less than what you have on the list.

small kraken
#

Alright thanks a lot for your help.. here it is .. maybe the B550 mobo idea? my friend steered me away from it 😒 . but it will work with the gen 2 usb-c on the case. does it that even matter? is using an adapter on the x570 janky? it says compatibly issue.

stoic island
#

@small kraken what did your friend say was wrong with b550?

#

Also, pretty sure DRP4 comes with thermal paste

#

unless it doesn't..?

#

too tired

small kraken
#

nothing really he just said x570 is newer better

stoic island
#

lmfao did he say x570 works with gen 2 usb-c on the case?

small kraken
#

noo he sug a cheaper case

stoic island
#

Yea cheaper case

#

I agree with cheaper case tbh

#

@small kraken tell him B550 released after x570 released

small kraken
#

kk

stoic island
#

like a few months earlier if he wants to be technical about that

#

newer doesn't mean better anyways

small kraken
#

its all good

stoic island
#

What's the use for the PCIe 4.0 drive?

#

btw with cases, I'm a guy that slaps in a TD 500 mesh, and if people want a different case, as long as it looks like it has airflow, go for it.

#

td500 mesh is just so good in most situations :P

small kraken
#

am i making good use of that corsair drive

stoic island
#

I'm asking you that

#

because most people won't

#

Unless you're doing huge file transfers daily for some reason

small kraken
#

lol that was him i had a 970 in ther

#

yea op

#

kk thank you

stoic island
#

SN750/MP34/other decent NVMe drive with dram works

#

970 is usually overpriced as heck

small kraken
#

noted

stoic island
#

Anyways I'd go with B550 if I hadn't said that yet

small kraken
#

it looks slick

#

thats cooler master td500?

stoic island
#

Coolermaster TD500 mesh is good

foggy hazel
#

the mp600 IS a nice drive

stoic island
#

Just not for the average user

foggy hazel
#

but as Mr1111 is saying, it kinda needs to have a use

small kraken
#

yea i just want a solid gaming rig

foggy hazel
#

i generally overlook it when it is in a list, because i DO have a use for it

#

so i see it as normal :)

stoic island
#

Naed, what do you do that uses one?

foggy hazel
#

simulation and vm work

stoic island
#

hmm it must've been someone else I was thinking of that had a setup for audio stuff

foggy hazel
#

that is another case i could easily see it being used

#

or video

stoic island
#

Yea I was curious because I assume you could make use of it with lots of audio

foggy hazel
#

aye, anything that requires a nice amount of moving actual data

opal stratus

stoic island
foggy hazel
#

silly answer?

stoic island

Naed don't tell me you've caught the silly

opal stratus

I got like 200-250 for ram, cpu (amd), and a psu lol

foggy hazel
#

its 04:52 in the morning, what do you think?

opal stratus
#

How do I make it work

stoic island
#

Fair enough, seemed like a weird time considering you normally say you're getting off for the night at like 7pm et

#

Do you need iGPU or just a CPU

foggy hazel
#

you search for muppet chef, and then you repeat what he says until it works.

small kraken
#

🛌

stoic island
#

It's doable with 3100+aegis 3200c16+BR500

opal stratus
#

Like the Swedish chef from muppets?

stoic island
#

~210$ I believe

foggy hazel
#

ofc Pengu :)

#

there is only one Chef

opal stratus
#

The rock?

foggy hazel
#

that would be Chief

stoic island
#

There, CPU+Ram+PSU under 250$

opal stratus
#

Crap I forgot a cooler

#

Ahhh it’s probably fine, thanks a lot lol

stoic island
#

3100 has stock cooler :D

Hello, Im new around here, Hoping you might help me with some advice on choosing a graphics card for my HP ELITE C2D. It has a Pentium (R) Dual core CPU E6600@ 3.6ghtz. I upgraded Ram cards to 8 GB.
[1:52 AM]
Thank you for your time.

ripe quest
#

@cinder tusk i would look for a different cpu

#

a dual core cpu barely runs yt rn

celest horizon
#

You're gonna have to stick to a card that doesn't need external power and uses < ~35 watts

#

If you upgrade the psu, you could get the rx580 or equivalent

Is the GTX 1650 compatible? Ive seen it alot on Youtube

@worn hatch I have several questions about your post in #build-pics

  2. are you using the cable management tray with that Malm desk?
  3. which monitor arm is that, and are you using it as a clamp mount?
granite delta

@tame copper that build looks sick bro

#

Especially since it’s your first and cable management is good

wheat coral
#

@cinder tusk pls dont get a 1650 with a dual core

you need a new cpu before gpu

would just get an older prebuilt and slap a 570 in it

with a 3rd gen i5

Hey everyone! So I have been debating ever since the reveal of the new RTX cards whether or not I should buy one. I have an RTX 2070 Super in right now and the only question I have is will it fit? I have an NZXT H500 case and an ASRock Steel Legend X570 motherboard. I noticed there is BARELY enough clearance between my card and the back I/O ports on the board. Do you think 3080 would fit width wise?

autumn wolf
#

to this i ask, do you actually need a 3080? because then it warrants the questions of how and where to sell your 2070 super; do you game enough on hard titles to run; what resolution do you play at; will the 3080 even be a valid enough upgrade for you to go to that after your 2070 super and furthermore, which 3080 are you getting if you were to get one cause the sizes differ from manufacturer to manufacturer

#

and to add not even to gaming, but would you even use the 3080 for other applications such as streaming/creatives/workstation

low karma
#

Well I play esports for a college and I was thinking about getting a 4K monitor because I think I am going to get the Xbox Series X also. I play Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 on my free time but I also play Call of Duty and eventually the new Call of Duty when that launches. I might start to stream also and for some class I am going to need to render some videos for an animation class I am taking. I am more worried about my motherboard clearance than anything else. I just think for $700 it would be a good deal. I also have a couple people already interested in my 2070 Super for their builds. @autumn wolf

autumn wolf
#

for esports i presume youre playing at 1080p which, a 2070 super is more than fine. dont know what you plan to use the 4k monitor for though i assume not high competitive gameplay but will say a 3080 would be better than a 2070 super for it, the titles you mentioned, a 2070 super is fine. streaming, both are fine unless nvidia just comes out with a new nvenc for the 30 cards, and for rending, a 2070 super is fine as well unless youre doing some serious animation of larger projects

#

for clearance, again, that all depends on which model 3080 you go with

#

and what you have in your case already

#

width of the card is fine, length of the card is what you should be worried about

low karma
#

I would just be getting the founders edition if anything because that's what 2070 super I have.

autumn wolf
#

for the length of the card, the 3080 will fit assuming you dont have a rad in the front

earnest ravine
#

@ someone

mild trout
#

Can I get some feedback on my 4k 60hz AAA Build? My first SFF build, so I'm pretty excited. I plan to use a 2080 TI or 3080 depending on price, availability, and benchmarks. I believe either FE version will work. pcpartpicker.com/list/pKRKCL

earnest ravine
#

@ someone

foggy hazel
#

@earnest ravine only one of those is actually a machine.

#

one has a mainboard and cpu, the other ... not so much

#

so back to the planning stage you go :)

mild trout
#

@foggy hazel big takes aways were length is the only concern so triple check that, and 3080 would be a better choice for 4k.

foggy hazel
#

all dimensions of the GPU matter for the m1

#

because it is that "tight" a build.

#

but yeah, reviews and going to be quite illuminating for figuring out which card type you can actually use

deep skiff
#

fe 2080 ti should fit

#

3080 fe, xc3/black/ultra should fit based on current info

foggy hazel
#

the 20xx cards will fit, that is not the challenge :)

deep skiff
#

ya

foggy hazel
#

its a question how the 30xx FE cards cooler will behave that i am personally very curious about

deep skiff
#

most of the 3080s outside of the ones i listed most likely wont fit due to height

foggy hazel
#

behave in a case like that is my point.

deep skiff
#

yea

foggy hazel
#

aye, the vendors seem to be going bonkers in all dimensions this time around

#

then again, it IS a fair deal of heat

deep skiff
#

probably be safer to grab a normal cooler until we can get how info how they work

foggy hazel
#

we should have all the info we need by the 15th

mild trout
#

What is the height of the card? The distance from the PCI port to the top of the card or the ports to the opposite end of the card?

deep skiff
#

sligerjack said they were gonna get cards to test with their cases so hopefully that should give us some info

foggy hazel
#

from pcie connector and "up"

deep skiff
#

^

foggy hazel
#

from the ports to the "end" is the length

#

and yes, it makes bugger all logical sense

deep skiff
#

but for height im talking about thickness

foggy hazel
#

example: the 3090 FE is 3 slots "thick"

deep skiff
#

ye

#

the majority of 3080s are 2.7 slot so :/

mild trout
#

isn't that considered the width?

foggy hazel
#

and it is normal height (it does not seem to go above the bracket

mild trout
#

and M1 can do <2.5 slots?

deep skiff
#

depends if its vertical mount, if the card is laying flat it would be height

foggy hazel
#

thickness = width = number of slots it takes up

#

Nachos, you do know what the m1 is right?

deep skiff
#

yes

foggy hazel
#

ok :)

deep skiff
#

m1 supports 317mm dual slot gpus

foggy hazel
#

aye

mild trout
foggy hazel
#

:)

#

they are nice yeah?

on behalf of @stone meteor , see above for question.

also on a related note on the m1 topic heres a wip list for compatibility in the m1 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E94FbF5jPqeyPATUQOTzgY82_sJUpEWIsZKHQI0dIhg/edit#gid=1365900885

little leaf
#

@stone meteor whjats the purpose of the build?

stone meteor
#

Im going to video edit, game stream, and play games

mild trout
#

@foggy hazel do you have any suggestions on a case similar to the M1 that would provide a little more flexibility? After measuring out the 304 the box design has lost its luster.

little leaf
#

what do you do mostly?

#

video edit or play games?

stone meteor
#

Mostly video edit

deep skiff
#

@mild trout sm560

foggy hazel
#

@mild trout the 304 is the gateway for that segment, and the only one that is reasonably priced imo

stoic island
#

Major question, when are you planning to build, and what's upper limit of budget? @stone meteor

deep skiff
#

so back to that other build ur spending a lot on looks and get at least a 3070

foggy hazel
#

the rest are, just like the m1, quickly going into the exotic

stone meteor
#

Probably around black Friday @stoic island

little leaf
#

just wait then

stoic island
#

Then I'd wait to make the final list until about that time

#

AMD 4th gen chips should be coming soon

stone meteor
#

ye

foggy hazel
#

1-1½ week before then

stone meteor
#

Ok thx guys

foggy hazel
#

its not that we dont want to make a build list, but it is just a bit of a pointless thing right now :)

stone meteor
#

yea

stoic island
#

@stone meteor anyways some advice based on the list you sent so far, try to get 3600mhz cl16 ram not cl18, a good NVMe SSD like SN750 500gb or MP34 512gb, and ion+760w or other good PSUs might be cheaper

little leaf
#

Idk if you do video editing wouldn't you want more storage?

stone meteor
#

@stoic island okay! Thank you!

stoic island
#

Also, a decent motherboard that comes included with wifi like a X570-plus wifi is going to be cheaper than buying a wireless adapter+board

little leaf
#

or is it being stored on the cloud

stone meteor
#

Cloud

deep skiff
#

usually video editing is a fast ssd and cloud

stoic island
#

and I doubt you need an ethernet card, most motherboards have 2.5g ethernet

stone meteor
#

I also have a 8tb external hdd

foggy hazel
#

@toxic plume fractal 804?

stone meteor
#

7200rpm i think

deep skiff
#

oo actually

#

nr200p is really nice for $100 including the riser

stoic island
#

External storage is external storage, it is what it is

toxic plume
#

@toxic plume fractal 804?
@foggy hazel yep. Thinking about tossing a 1tb SSD in for an l2arc as well

#

running the asrack c2550

foggy hazel
#

would not be a bad idea, you seem to be running full drive setup

"asrack c2550" <- that is not a name you see around here normally

odd crypt
#

Is this a good 700$ budget

foggy hazel
#

they are lovely boards, just a shame about that bug they found in the cpu

deep skiff
#

what bug?

stoic island
foggy hazel
#

that one

#

did i say cpu?, i did. that is my mistake.

stoic island
#

Just an example of what I believe should be changed

deep skiff
#

hm

toxic plume
#

mine actually had that bug, and asrock replaced the board free of charge

deep skiff
#

so basically it makes the product fail?

toxic plume
#

out of warranty too

foggy hazel
#

its a shame it happened, because intel has not really done anything quite like that family since then

#

good on asrock :)

#

and ofc good for you :)

#

thats for you @toxic plume

toxic plume
#

I will say asrock has had some of the most willing, and helpful support i've encountered.

foggy hazel
#

dual OCulink

#

8i's that is

#

re: asrock: especially on their more "unique" boards, i have never had a problem with them

#

as in, they honor warranty above and beyond

toxic plume
#

Man, that is one "epyc" board. But i honestly think way too much overkill for home use.

#

Plus, i'd have to start using backplanes and expanders, and i just don't feel like dealing with all that.

foggy hazel
#

oh yes :D

#

the 804 is already a beefy container for a home system

#

the next logical step would be to get a small rack and hide it away somewhere

mild trout
#

@deep skiff I’ll check out the sliger in just a few

toxic plume
#

was runnin the 304 for ~4 years, so here's to hoping the 804 lasts another 4

foggy hazel
#

level1techs (Wendel) has a review of it

#

the case itself wont go anywhere @toxic plume :)

mild trout
#

@foggy hazel I remove these screws to attach the ergotron right?

deep skiff
#

the sliger is nice but kinda expensive, nr200p is pretty solid too and much cheaper

foggy hazel
#

aye

#

thats the vesa mount screws @mild trout

#

also, on the topic of GPU measurement

deep skiff
#

is d1/2 depth?

foggy hazel
#

d2= backplate

stoic island
#

Looks like D1 is heatsink (and d2 backplate)

foggy hazel
#

D1 = pcb+cooler

deep skiff
#

yea but does the d stand for depth or is it just unrelated

stoic island
#

Fair enough

foggy hazel
#

its depth/thickness

#

however, it is generally in your interest to use the combined D1+D2 number

#

because if that fits, the actual card will fit

stoic island
#

I think D1 is just useful for checking if it blocks other PCIe slots

foggy hazel
#

aye aye

stoic island
#

Are there cases where D2 would matter other than vert mount?

foggy hazel
#

there are also "some" abominations that have a fairly thick D2

stoic island
#

ah

foggy hazel
#

because ofc there is

mild trout
#

@foggy hazel you available to video chat? The orientation on the mount is a bit confusing

foggy hazel
#

aye, give me a moment

stoic island
#

You'll have to use DMs btw

still roostBOT
#

XMARK6 Tloc, that command is disabled in this channel.

@solemn rover change the privacy settings or whatever it's called

#

make it public

earnest ravine
#

@foggy hazel i pretty i put the wrong code because those part list arn't even mine

stoic island
#

that's whatever list you clicked "edit" on last

#

or the last list you were editing

pliant wren
#

Is this any good? Also what would be a good water cooler for the cpu?

foggy hazel
#

that was what @earnest ravine posted

stoic island
#

interesting

#

kinda weird

#

@pliant wren link plz? Gotta see price to see if it makes sense.

pliant wren
#

https://newegg.io/0aa0ffa doesn't include the graphics card which is $500, the cost of some of these parts might be cheaper for me, i only used newegg to organize everything together

stoic island
#

Yea alright as expected 970evo and 860evo are both overpriced

#

@pliant wren I'd go with something like a MP34/SN750/SX8200 pro or similar for the NVMe SSD

#

and you could just grab another P1 1tb for extra storage

cinder tusk
#

anyone have a 3rd Gen i5 CPU layin around, that you want to sell?

pliant wren
#

can you link where i can get those ssds the cheapest @stoic island

buoyant flame
#

No selling on this server @cinder tusk
