unborn solstice
wait so the code changed to c5?
little osprey
Not enough to snap it but yeah
Well I apologize that I'm this dumb
Thanks for the help but
And*
yeah it did
C5
unborn solstice
ok lemme see
unborn solstice
nah ur fine. you’d be surprised how many people dont have the ram all the way clicked in. they assume they only need the end with the tab to click
little osprey
I thought I heard both click at the same tkme
Time
I always hold both sides down
It's always the simple stuff lol
Probably about time to get a new one though
New ram?
Mhm
You should get faster one and 2x instead of one stick
This one came in with a prebuilt PC bought from a bad website
Ah
Scrapped that and the PSU
Same with the hard drive but I dont think that works
Maybe, no idea
unborn solstice
what is your pc doing now?
is the c5 code stopping the boot? the internet isnt very sure what it means
little osprey
No it's one
LEDs, fans, power on
No signal
From GPU
Lemme try this
Even though it's from 2007
unborn solstice
yeah try clearing cmos like u did earlier
same way
just dont unplug the ram this time lol
unborn solstice
3 steps: switch power supply off; unplug from wall; press power button to discharge
then u can hit the cmos button
unborn solstice
yes. after its unplugged
tough carbon
if you are clearing cmos, unplug power, remove cmos battery, then try to power it on for about 10 seconds
unborn solstice
it gets rid of anything left in the psu
tough carbon
Is there a clip holding it down anywhere near it?
tough carbon
Can you remove that layer of metal?
little osprey
And the GPU slots only the holes are open
I could
Not entirely sure if I want too
tough carbon
Remove the metal layer, then tell me what you see next.
You have to in order to clear CMOS.
tough carbon
Do you know what it does
tough carbon
okay well I don't know if you should press it, but just try to. Might be a push out or reset
unborn solstice
@little osprey are u holding the button down?
little osprey
Like I'm a bit confused
unborn solstice
im gonna give u some steps.
tough carbon
is the button specifically a cmos reset?
unborn solstice
1: switch power supply off. 2: unplug from wall. 3: press power button. 4: press and hold CMOS button for about 10 sec. 5: plug back in and try to boot
tough carbon
If the button doesn't do anything, try taking the battery out, then hold power or reset button.
unborn solstice
no. if u did all 5 steps u should be good to try to boot
lmk if that doesnt work
tough carbon
okay so about that cmos reset button.
unborn solstice
u gotta do what i said with the psu to discharge it safely and the n remove the battery
tough carbon
Did it work out, or did it still give a post error?
unborn solstice
error
tough carbon
okay did he disconnect the psu
little osprey
Sorry
tough carbon
Okay so you wanna make sure to disconnect the psu, unless you have a CMOS reset button on the rear I/O.
unborn solstice
we did the cmos button. didnt work @tough carbon
little osprey
And the PSU
tough carbon
Did you check to see if the ram modules you are using are ddr4? If not, how old was your older pc?
tough carbon
When did you get the old pc
little osprey
Uhh let's see
tough carbon
And how old was the old pc
little osprey
I got it for Christmas
tough carbon
Do you know what cpu you had in the old one?
tough carbon
Okay, can I get the cpu info?
tough carbon
Yes, the ram modules. Do you know if they work?
tough carbon
Okay, so you need a CMOS reset
tough carbon
okay, that's some good info.
little osprey
No dmg on plug in to motherboard
tough carbon
What error is the board giving you again?
little osprey
C5
tough carbon
Okay lemme check
tough carbon
Alright so you might have a ram slot problem.
little osprey
fun
tough carbon
How many sticks of ram do you have in the board
little osprey
1
tough carbon
Okay, try plugging that stick into a different board.
little osprey
Just the 1 sadly
A different motherboard
Or slot
my sense of understanding is really low
tough carbon
put it in a different slot on the board. There are four with yours, choose a different one.
little osprey
Same thing
unborn solstice
some are real picky
tough carbon
according to some people on reddit who have the same error, it might be just a memory configuration error, and slot A1 is infamous.
A1 is the first slot btw.
tough carbon
did it work in a different slot?
tough carbon
damn.
unborn solstice
wait a3?
little osprey
Though
odd crypt
Hey guys
little osprey
I have 4 slots
odd crypt
Can i ask for some help?
unborn solstice
is this not a dual channel mobo?
tough carbon
sure! Always here to help!
little osprey
Its uhh
odd crypt
tough carbon
Its 4 slot, and dual channel
unborn solstice
usually theyre labeled a1 a2 b1 b2
odd crypt
Is this a good build?
unborn solstice
well im sorry i couldnt help. i really dont know whats wrong. i have to meet a guy in like 9 hrs so imma go to bed. gl tho
tough carbon
@odd crypt big, you are gonna want to change that to for example, a ryzen 1600AF, the ryzen 3 will be a bottleneck for some games.
tough carbon
I can help if you want
odd crypt
So what will i change it too?
tough carbon
Try the ryzen 5 1600af. It's a first gen ryzen, but 12nm and no graphics.
odd crypt
Maybe a 2600?
tough carbon
Precisely, you read my mind.
odd crypt
Hmm im lazy could you do that for me lol
tough carbon
sure, I'll do that.
tough carbon
Also, get a lower wattage psu. You'll save money, and it will be more efficient.
tough carbon
Will do
Alright, so it is a little better, lower wattage psu but better cpu.
Also, are you using the barracuda as a storage drive, or game drive?
And are you using the ssd for games too, or just a boot drive?
tough carbon
yeah the 80+ rating is kinda bad is it
foggy hazel
no. the unit itself it just not a good one.
tough carbon
Okay, so you might wanna tone down a bit on the ssd.
okay, well let me revise a bit.
odd crypt
Ok
odd crypt
Its good
tough carbon
Alright. So that should be good for a while. And you do have a lot of upgrade room for a better gpu/cpu over time
odd crypt
Yea
tough carbon
So have a good time! Hope you get to enjoy your games pretty soon! I'm signing off.
foggy hazel
@little osprey mainboard manual is your friend for that
foggy hazel
@little osprey what mainboard model
foggy hazel
cmos reset is listed in there
tough carbon
Does it have 3 pins with a jumper?
foggy hazel
read page 9
little osprey
The pages aren't accurate
little osprey
2.7
little osprey
I only got 2 guides
foggy hazel
if you are using 2 or more sticks or ram, change it to just 1 stick
little osprey
I only have 1
It worked before on a old PC
New motherboard too
8GB
Switched slot to alot
Slot*
little osprey
Like unplug and replug
tough carbon
He meant remove all the parts and try again.
little osprey
well
Uhh
Moved the uhh
Ram slot
And its
Jumping
And its off
Nothing
No lights off of the thing
A1
A2
B1 this slot
B2
tough carbon
Is it posting?
tough carbon
So no error code then
little osprey
No
tough carbon
Just a blank board
little osprey
Led works
CPU fan did
Infact
Go super fast
Then slowed
Now it's at a pace
So
tough carbon
That's a sign that the bios is booting.
tough carbon
Do you have a display connected
tough carbon
Okay, connect your display straight to the board.
little osprey
My motherboard?
tough carbon
Yu are gonna have to use integrated graphics for now until it gets booting.
Yes, on the motherboard.
little osprey
My AMD doesnt support it
tough carbon
Okay, plug your hdmi cord into the motherboard.
There should be a port on the rear I/O.
foggy hazel
@tough carbon not going to work when there is NO igpu in the cpu.
little osprey
Yeah thought so
tough carbon
what cpu is it
tough carbon
Okay, that's not going to work then. Plug your GPU back into the board, and try to see if you'll get a display from that.
tough carbon
That means that you probably have faulty memory slots.
tough carbon
Alright, make sure to plug the GPU into the first pcie x16 slot.
little osprey
Oh yeah
tough carbon
Yeah you might wanna get a refund from that
tough carbon
Damn
tough carbon
yeah do you at least have it insured?
tough carbon
Damn
tough carbon
try asking for support from Asrock. You'll probably have to pay, or they might be generous to send a new board.
little osprey
it's fine, I learned my lesson
To be fair
It's
A big
Upgrade
From a 50 dollar motherboard
all so I can download more mods into skyrim
then regret it
tough carbon
Well, if you can, try using the older motherboard. 3rd gen ryzen is compatible with 2nd gen ryzen chipsets.
Is it a b450 motherboard?
little osprey
The new one is uhh
B550
The old one
Is a crappy gigabyte
My chrome book probably runs almost as good as it
tough carbon
Yeah, but do you know what it is?
tough carbon
Okay, lemme check if its compatible.
foggy hazel
try asking for support from Asrock. You'll probably have to pay, or they might be generous to send a new board. <- not how it works at all
RMA is RMA
tough carbon
Gotcha. Don't really have much experience with custom parts, mostly just modded regular prebuilt parts for a while.
Yeah, no 3rd gen ryzen support, especially for your cpu.the 3700x has a tdp hiher than 65w, and the vrms won't be able to handle it. Also, it seems MSI is the only manufacturer with support.
little osprey
Oh I knew my CPU wouldn't work
Ohhh for Future reference
Ah
I honestly planned on either as I said test PC or just sell it
Or make it disappear
foggy hazel
the 3700x is natively supported on the b550 chipset.
tough carbon
Yeah, since the board uses a cheap chipset, the vrms will also be within the cheap range, AMD won't be able to give enough power without overheating.
foggy hazel
so that is not the problem.
tough carbon
Yes, but I am saying if he can downgrade to the a320m, since his b550 board is defective.
tough carbon
That's what I had said. Cpu is too power hungry, and not all boards with the chipset don't have the micro code.
little osprey
Night shift or timezone
foggy hazel
tz
little osprey
Ah
tough carbon
Its 12 for me so I might have to get off in a while
tough carbon
No problem. Always happy to help a fellow gamer.
little osprey
slowly learning how to do PC stuff
even cleaned my old motherboard from coffee
Spill
tough carbon
Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. Its complicated at first, but you'll get it.
And also oof that's tough
little osprey
yes
Especially
After I left it alone
Was too scared to touch it
But after taking it apart I got some insight
tough carbon
Yeah, next time it happens, quickly turn it off, and discharge it all the way. Electronics are almost undamaged if there is no current running through it.
tough carbon
That's good. Definitely helps if you wanna clean it fast.
little osprey
Every thing was fine
The GPU I had shorted because I dropped a monitor
More slid off
tough carbon
Alright, well I gotta get off, way too late for me.
tough carbon
And also that's really unfortunate.
tough carbon
No problem! Happy gaming and good luck
foggy hazel
ask your question, and if someone has the knowledge/time/desire to help, they will.
obtuse nexus
Thank you
My pc have no display. I tried reseattingthe ram and cmos battery but i still have no display
foggy hazel
specs?
obtuse nexus
All I get is black screen after saying "hdmi no signal"
Ryzen 5 3600
Aorus RX 5700 XT
MSI B550 Tomahawk
GSkill Trident Z Neo 8x2 3200mhz
My sister used this pclast wednesday and didnt used it after windows update.
Dont know what happened since im staying in at the office and i only have the chance to go home when its my rest day
foggy hazel
you have checked that the monitor cable has not come loose/been moved right?
obtuse nexus
Yes ivechecked the cables and tried to plug it in another port in my gpu
Still sayinn hdmi no signal
obtuse nexus
Aorus 5700xt have 3 hdmi and 3 display port I think
foggy hazel
hm, interesting choice from their side :)
obtuse nexus
Yep 3 hdmi and 3 dp
obtuse nexus
Imgetting nervous since this is my first pc build
foggy hazel
how long has the system been working for?
obtuse nexus
Hmm built it last Aug 17
Came home today to replace the thermal paste but yeah no display
foggy hazel
then whatever is wrong, is 99.99% just bad luck.
when you power on the machine, does the fans spin?
foggy hazel
you dont by chance have another GPU ?
foggy hazel
i would recommend that you do the following things:
pull the ram, try with 1 stick at a time.
btw, have you checked the EZ debug leds on the mainboard @obtuse nexus ?
obtuse nexus
pull the ram, try with 1 stick at a time.
@foggy hazel itried this still no display
No ez debug awhile ago but now it shows VGA
Here I am currently reseatting everything again
foggy hazel
when you have the system put together again.
do tell me what the EZ debug led says please.
foggy hazel
you are very welcome, you are the one doing the work in this case :)
obtuse nexus
It says vga
foggy hazel
darn
double and triple check the power plugs
that go to the VGA card
dont just rely on "the fans are spinning"
obtuse nexus
It worked
It somehow worked
I tried setting it to Silent profile
Turned on my pc and it worked
I tried putting it back to bios oc mode and it worked
I mean silent profile and bios oc profile in gpu
obtuse nexus
Weird stuff
foggy hazel
i would strongly suggest that you think about doing a RMA on it
because that is NOT normal behaviour for a card
beause it is not as if your sister has had the system open and toggled the bios switch on the GPU right?
does the above make sense @obtuse nexus ?
obtuse nexus
Its on bios oc mode when I got it
Ill try to look for stuff
Currently 5700xt cards have black screen issues
But i dont think thats the issue in my case
foggy hazel
some do. some dont.
and it is not related to your situation as far as i understand it
obtuse nexus
Yeahh
If problem persist i'll try doing rma
And i think i will sell it
Asus 2080super cards drop prices in my country
foggy hazel
I would suggest having a talk with the seller asap
because again, its not a logical solution.
so i would personally not trust that card
foggy hazel
i would be able to say "okay, that makes sense" IF you had been working in the case and by chance "touched" the bios flip switch.
because in that case, oh yeah, sure, it might be slighty triggered.
but in your situation? no. it just does NOT add up :/
and you are very welcome @obtuse nexus
best of luck with things :)
obtuse nexus
yeah I too was weirded
but anyway thank you so much for the help
I would contact aorus and the seller asap regarding the issue
thank you very much again ❤️
foggy hazel
you are very welcome (again) :) and best of luck:)
little osprey
so @foggy hazel would cl16 be noticably different than CL18? I have these https://www.newegg.com/oloy-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821222 and was possibly gonna look at these https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232907?Item=N82E16820232907
foggy hazel
if you already have the OLOY in your machine, just stick with it, it is imo NOT worth removing those for it
BUT, if you are starting from nothing. CL16 makes sense.
little osprey
okay just verifying
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B8Ymyk this is my current pc
is there anything you see wrong with it?
foggy hazel
ofc, IF you can move the CL18's to a different machine, then ... yeah, do that and use the CL16 in your own
little osprey
I can I have the other pc which uses the same ram
foggy hazel
IF the other machine has a need for a ram upgrade (i assume it has less than 32gig) you could indeed move it over
however, that is then reliant on the second machine actually needing that ram upgrade
little osprey
i'm gonna stick with the current ram
foggy hazel
just doing it "because you can" is imo silly
little osprey
correct yes
wary geode
Naed a card i sold had a black screen issue with that monitor but when it’s plugged into mine it works
I deleted drivers and everything and redownload but it still has a issue when I put it into another monitor
foggy hazel
@wary geode you talking about the Optix?
wary geode
It doesn’t accept any monitor but mine
little osprey
and another question. is it worth getting a pcie4.0 nvme?
wary geode
Nah XfX
XFX 580 4gb
Black screen vga
Runs fine on any pc I put into my monitor just another onemonitor doesn’t work
foggy hazel
@wary geode you have lost me on the relevance of your comment in regards to what i am talking with @little osprey about.
wary geode
Oh I was reading above about the 5700xt black screen
Finish with him and maybe at me later
foggy hazel
it was not a topic we talked about @wary geode, it was a random comment.
foggy hazel
@little osprey re: pci-e 4.0 drive: IF you need the speed it offers? then yes. But if you are "just" gaming (as the market/engines are right this second) ... i personally dont think its worth it
little osprey
is there any nvme you can recommend? I wanna swap my current nvme to my second pc
foggy hazel
but its nice and simple to add in another later on and just clone it over
guessing you are looking for bigger?
foggy hazel
mp600 comes to mind
but again, you are paying for things you might not actually need
as things which it is going to be hard to "feel"
little osprey
I mean a pcie3.0 one
you made a good point
its not worth it
unless im video editing and such
little osprey
which i'm gaming mostly
foggy hazel
leave it as it is
little osprey
the nvme i have
foggy hazel
all of it really
foggy hazel
its fine
worry less about benchmarks and enjoy your system
play more games
@wary geode that does not belong in #build-pics
wary geode
Oh **** meant that in this chat
foggy hazel
either here or #general-chat
wary geode
Ok awesome
little osprey
oh i do have another question any suggestion for a 1440P monitor?
I wanted to swap my 1080p monitor with a 1440p one
foggy hazel
any that looks like it has the specs you want.
1440p is a rather big list of monitors :)
stoic island
ye
little osprey
but may go msi due to the fact I already have MSI
deep skiff
hdr on budget monitors usually isnt really decent
more of a selling point than actual useful feature
little osprey
true
my tv has hdr
so im fine on the hdr front
ehidk what to choose :/
thats not a bad price
deep skiff
va tho
little osprey
darn
meh
from the looks of it
VA seems to be on curved ones
so it looks like my best option is
or this
deep skiff
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/vg271up for gaming the acer seems okay, there arent like any reviews on the gigabyte one
little osprey
lol
pcpart picker is annoying me tbh
im trying to find this monitor on there
i cant oddly
glass pasture
hi all
little osprey
@deep skiff imma get that one
deep skiff
noice
wish rtings or anybody really could review the gigabyte one :/ looks good for the value
deep skiff
ya
deep skiff
ye
deep skiff
ya
i just like having reviews on what im buying, but that doesnt mean its a bad panel at all if it has no reviews
foggy hazel
monitors are a very good idea to have someone else take the first chance on
UD590 comes to mind as a very good example of why that is
(on paper, good specs. In reality, horrible horrible backlight bleed)
foggy hazel
i am talking about reviews by people with working eyes
little osprey
Lol
True
We shall see how it is
It'll be here Wednesday or Thursday
I'm gonna be moving my 1080p monitors above my desk area and keeping the 1440 front and center
deep skiff
lol that monitor looks straight out of 2014 naed
hazy canopy
so im a little confused on powered fan controllers. i know that you shouldnt daisy chain too many fans off one fan header or it runs the risk of burning out, but if i have 5 fans onto 1 controller thats okay right?
the fan pack i was looking at has 5 fans and controller, or would it be better to get 5 fans and two splitters so i can use multiple fan headers?
foggy hazel
a true powered fan controller does not care
coarse coral
which fan controller
foggy hazel
a fan controller that "just" pulls power from the fan connector on the mainboard however will care.
so, as Theo asks, which fan controller @hazy canopy
hazy canopy
Honestly I wasn’t too set on one yet, I was just starting looking into my options. There’s a deep cool one for 15 or noctua for 20 but idk if there’s any better ones I can get out there
Or rather, is there any to avoid lol
stoic island
oh damn I didn't realize Noctua had a fan controller
it looks really interesting
the controller itself is tiny compared to others, but it also has a 3 way splitter
deep skiff
not even brown and beige smh my head
last carbon
Hello
Sorry for interrupt your conversation, I am looking for assistance to build a PC and I am totally new on this
I selected some parts but not sure if those are the appropiated
can anyone provied support on this
*provide
foggy hazel
@last carbon do you have a pcpartpicker link? or do you just have a list of parts?
last carbon
I did a list, but not sure if it is good
I need it for design
to work with illustrator
photoshop
foggy hazel
can you share your list?
last carbon
and run a roland printer
versawork software
yes
give me few minutes to copy and paste
foggy hazel
where have you made the list @last carbon ?
foggy hazel
last carbon
ok
foggy hazel
press copy and then paste that here :)
2sec
can you send it as a dm to me?
the anti-spam bot is eating your link
on behalf of @last carbon https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/sd/1xWdbr4fi2f1JVPZp7CXrg==
foggy hazel
it works for that
last carbon
I don't need the fastest PC, but at least someing good
foggy hazel
its a solid machine. There are a few changes i would make
last carbon
what is the different between intel i7 quad core and intel i7 8-core?
foggy hazel
basically double the performance IF what you are doing can use the extra cores.
foggy hazel
give me a minute here, just looking at different prices
@last carbon almost done here
last carbon
ok let me see
foggy hazel
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qkkbNq there you go
That is the tool we use for sharing builds here :)
it shows more broadly that the price actually is
foggy hazel
i changed the hdd, double the space for a tiny bit more
last carbon
great
stoic island
Naed, I got a question that might be relavent, would a 6c12t 10600k fare better than a 8c8t 9700k for workload such as video editing because of the extra threads?
foggy hazel
see, thats the next part :)
last carbon
I do not make videos
foggy hazel
no, but you do work with "content"
stoic island
Depends on the specific chip and specific situation
there is nothing that can do everything in the computing world :D
foggy hazel
@last carbon simple question with a semi-complex answer.
here is another list
different mainboard, and a different cpu
foggy hazel
you have not gotten the first answer yet.
last carbon
what of the two list?
foggy hazel
the simple answer for your 4core, 8core, or 6 core is this
stoic island
Side note Naed, Seasonic focus gx is 110$ in stock at amazon.
foggy hazel
the 6 core is my choice of those 3
stoic island
(Out of these specific models so far)
foggy hazel
the reason for that @last carbon is known as SMT
the i7 / i5 that you have been focusing on. Does not really tell you all that much
stoic island
the "i3, i5, i7, i9, r3, r5, r7, r9" is all really just marketing, doesn't tell you all too much about the products themselves
foggy hazel
(and thank you for the PSU info @stoic islandi have not even looked at that part yet, because i knew this was going to be .. interesting)
stoic island
(Yea I'll be lurking and checking prices)
foggy hazel
@little osprey that belongs in #links-and-selfpromotion
little osprey
Ok
foggy hazel
does what i said make sense @last carbon ?
foggy hazel
you are very welcome.
last carbon
thank you have a nice day
stoic island
Naed, don't adobe products like photoshop favor Intel slightly?
foggy hazel
yes/no. its not something that cannot be overcome with raw brute force @stoic island
aka the AMD path
stoic island
Alright
stoic island
It's just something I've heard about
agh this laptop is being slow today
it's taking half a minute to load up the SSD page...
foggy hazel
@last carbon https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N27ysk <- this beats the other lists quite soundly
and its way cheaper
last carbon
Let me see
rich void
Does Julio already have a gpu?
foggy hazel
that will be added ofc @rich void
its the core of it
because that is the "next" thing that Adobe "now" likes
GPU accel
rich void
Gotcha. I wasn't sure if the other builds relied on iGPU, just trying to understand. Thanks!
last carbon
this tool pcprtpicker already tell me where should I buy each part for the best price?
foggy hazel
basically yes.
however, that last list is not done yet
its "just" the basics :)
it still needs a graphicscard added to it :)
and that @last carbon https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w2mQ8M
is the final list
foggy hazel
the last one, by a BIG margin
last carbon
with the AMD?
foggy hazel
yes, that is not up for debate on the AMD machine
there is not a GPU built into the CPU
last carbon
ok
little leaf
naed
foggy hazel
yes?
little leaf
isn't a 1650s the same price?
little leaf
ik but I thought I saw one for 140 might be on crack though
stoic island
Naed, how does GPU accel on say Photoshop work? Does it use the encoder (which makes Nvidia the more attractive option?), or the raw perf of the GPU?
foggy hazel
its the actual computing cores @stoic island
stoic island
interesting
foggy hazel
its not the encoder for what he does
little leaf
I just thought why not have more for same
stoic island
tbh I would go 20$ more for a 1650s, there's a decent performance gap between the two, but both works.
little leaf
https://www.newegg.com/intel-665p-series-1tb/p/N82E16820167469?Item=N82E16820167469&quicklink=true anyone know if this is a good deal don't know much about intel ssds
foggy hazel
for this, it really doesnt matter
little leaf
p2 uses system mem and p1 uses its own right]
little leaf
so why would the p2 be better?
stoic island
It really isn't imo, but TLC
last carbon
Naed, are you there?
foggy hazel
i am
last carbon
the windows 10 says $15
foggy hazel
yes, because that is how much you should be paying for it
last carbon
where?
last carbon
If I buy everything from amazon?
foggy hazel
it is highly recommended that you dont buy the Windows License from there, unless you want to pay a lot more for it
stoic island
side note, looks like software codes don't have windows 10 keys anymore :(
foggy hazel
it has been handled @stoic island
limpid snow
Oof, I’m gonna need to buy a Windows 10 key when I build my new pc, I’m still on Windows 7 on my current PC

how does this look guys, 3D artist. Updated new list to a lower budget. I will still need to bring it down a notch. Like $100 less lol
I will be using it as a for 3D modeling in-game assets, props and vehicles. Quick renders and such for printing and making a physical printed portfolio to showcase at game companies while applying for 3D prop artist jobs

quick edits @little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mRxW27
little osprey
oh ok
stoic island
that'll save you money
and true 1600af/2600/3600 might be better for you
more cores for the renders
3100 is great for games, not too great for rendering and such
foggy hazel
can you stretch to 660 usd @little osprey ?
little osprey
I think I can, I will put it in there
Yeah Naed I can, it will take me slightly longer to get all other peripherals, like the mouse and keyboard and monitor and desk, but thats ok

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jXQhn7 <- that is a start then
that actually has some computing power behind it
little osprey
is it better to fill the mobo with four 8gb memory cards? make it 32gb? or better to use up only 2 16gb cards?
I was thinking of making it 32gb mem, keep it flexible in case I get a freelance project involving a heavy scene with a ton of geometry
deep skiff
2x16 is usually better
little osprey
thank you, the less slots being used the better?
foggy hazel
consider the following
you have 4*8 and you want to upgrade to 64 total
what are you going to do with the 4*8? @little osprey
little osprey
Oh yeah, didn't think of that lol
foggy hazel
:)
so the question really is: Is there any downside to running with 2*16 now? no. there is not.
but there is an upside IF you want to upgrade down the line :)
last carbon
Naed, I don't find that software code for window 10
little osprey
Oh ok, in this case, wouldn't there be issues with the different dates of these memory sticks being created? Say for example I have to 2x16gb already installed, and then a year later I want to upgrade to 64, so I install another 2 16gb cards, but with different date of manufacture (yet same brand and model cards), it shouldn't be a problem? I was told by someone in person a long time ago that is better to purchase memory kits that will complete the total memory you're going for because they've all been manufactured on the same date, and less likely to cause any potential errors ?
last carbon
Can you send me a link for that?
foggy hazel
@little osprey not a problem
the date part is generally not something consumers have to think about
rule of thumb is however that you buy the same brand for your sticks
@last carbon see pm.
little osprey
Thanks Naed

So I’m doing a ftn build for my brother it’s literally just gotta play fortnite and cs go on 720 high or 1080 med/low it’s going with 4gb ddr3 and a i53570 I’ll prolly upgrade the ram soon but I’m just trying to figure out what low profile gpu to get I feel like a 1650 or 1050tinis overkill
outer heart
i have two monitors and my mobo will have 1 hdmi port. do i need a gpu with 2 or one hdmi port in it?
calm crypt
Well you could get a splitter but most modern gpus have multiple ports
outer heart
yeah the one i’m thinking rn has 2 ports
calm crypt
What’s the model
outer heart
calm crypt
Ya that’s a good card
U don’t wanna use the mobo port tho
Because that would be integrated graphics
calm crypt
Yh np
opal stratus
What do you guys have for WiFi?
civic kiln
Anyone know some cheap white rgb fans?
little osprey
LoL @foggy hazel , I went up $100 on my build list, against my budget lol
I take it back, I fixed it, it only went up a little bit due to memory sticks, instead of 166gb ram, going for 32gb
instead of 16gb, going with 32gb
stoic island
why's that?
little osprey
went up with the memory sticks, 32gb, price went up $50 bucks more, and changed the cpu to a ryzen 3600x 6 core
I have to research the performance gap, or difference between the cpu you recommended for me Mr1111, and the 3600x that Naed recommended me
foggy hazel
something has gotten lost in translation here @little osprey
3200 cl16 OR preferably 3600 CL16
not the 3000 CL16 you have in that last list.
teal imp
qu. would a Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB work on a PCI 2.0 3.0 ?
teal imp
pcie yeah that's what i mint
foggy hazel
that will work :)
teal imp
thanks. should i invests a sideways PCI-E mount?
foggy hazel
that is your call
teal imp
ok. thanks. i dont use net or sound cards so a sideways mount wouldn't bother me with thos .
night iron
Not bad @paper eagle but you couldn’t stick the GPU cables down the cut underneath so it could look better?
robust plover
Dose anyone know any good fans that connect by molex
teal imp
Ehh i may need a new power supply with that sapphire. I don't have enough connections to split to a 8 pin for the cards power.
paper eagle
Not bad @paper eagle but you couldn’t stick the GPU cables down the cut underneath so it could look better?
@night iron
I think its cause the cables are plugged into the GPU in a u shape is why.
I have 1 cable double plugged into the gpu. So there's extra length between the GPU's 8pin and 6pin that pushes the cable out against the glass.
Maybe I should just use 2 separate cables? That way I can pull them back and tighten them up behind the board, making it show less thru the window.
But in either case, im waiting for the 3080s to come out so I can replace my msi 1080 gaming x
little osprey
So I just ordered a 5500XT from a local parts store.
I should have the rest of my stuff here by Friday at the latest. Can't wait.
👍
outer heart
is there any difference between the way a pcie wifi adapter works and a usb 3?
ionic veldt
@stoic island It was my motherboard for sure, I tested the ram modules on a friend's computer I built for him, they were able to run at their advertised speed on his system
stoic island
interesting
night iron
Okay @paper eagle Have you thought about using cable extensions in your future builds.
little osprey
I went to the micro center and I was told an AMD 5 3600 would be enough for a 3080
Now I’m wondering if I should upgrade for the hell of it
ripe wedge
@little osprey who told you that?
like a manager?
or like just the worker
I think it might be enough but not for sure
little osprey
Just a worker

thorny bronze
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hV9XCL whats everyones thoughts on this
little osprey
only gaming?
or other stuff 2
your going 3090
go 10 gen
10900k if you can
and the h510i
if u want nzxt
little osprey
but i say go with the lian li o11d
thats a better case
does he only want to game?
thorny bronze
yes
little osprey
ok then i suggest 10900k if u can squeeze it in
also dont go with a second ssd
go with a 2tb hardrive instead
thorny bronze
He has a hard drive alreadyt
little osprey
ok then go 2tb nvme
thorny bronze
he is going to use it as a backup
little osprey
and lose the ssd
ig
but if i were him
i would lose it
nice cooler
and the ram
try 32
but if not
u can get a better price
with ripjaws unless he really needs rgb
for some reason then trident z
stoic island
Change stuff
thorny bronze
he wants some rgb
stoic island
Make new list
stoic island
At that budget you can go o11 and fill it with ll120s lmfao
