#

ah

little osprey
#

hello

cursive wharf
#

Ill look into as cheap as possible WiFi solution

stoic island
#

make edits on other comps if you want too

cursive wharf
#

seems quite good. Only other cheaper board that can go WiFi is MSI b450 Bazooka Max WiFi (no cheaper boards have M2 E). Idk if it'd be worth stepping down mobo that far for minimal gains elsewhere

stoic island
#

yea prob not

#

But PSU I'm slightly uncertain about

cursive wharf
#

I havent seen any major issues with BR

#

so far

stoic island
#

(maybe better at similar price)

cursive wharf
#

if we were back to old pricing where CX was like $65 then ye, but not anymore

stoic island
#

sad

cursive wharf
stoic island
#

ya works

little osprey
#

hello

topaz plank
#

thanks everyone

#

y'all are the best

wide sparrow
little osprey
#

ahhh

wide sparrow
#

Can't find a 3080 yet

little osprey
#

lol

cloud oasis
#

Good morning

little osprey
#

k

cloud oasis
#

so at first i was like

#

144hz is fine

wide sparrow
cloud oasis
#

Then i realised the benq monitors existed

wide sparrow
#

If you're curious about a 3700x and 3080 combo

little osprey
#

thanks

cloud oasis
#

Do i get zen 3

#

And wait

#

or just get 3700x

#

also by “loaning” a boot kit they just give a cpu for free right

wide sparrow
#

Um

#

I would wait

#

Good things come to those who wait

cloud oasis
#

true

wide sparrow
#

Hopefully they can beat Intel's current gen in gaming with lower prices. That would be a dream come true

#

Instant upgrade

#

I'm 50/50 on that

stoic island
wide sparrow
#

O

#

280hz nice

stoic island
#

and also, get NT-H2 that comes with cleaning wipes to clean off stock paste :D

#

and Noctua :D

wide sparrow
#

Noctuagang

#

And

stoic island
#

@wide sparrow dead chat can be good chat

little osprey
#

oof

stoic island
#

no people asking for help = people having good times

wide sparrow
#

I agree. The silence wa splendid

#

Yes

stoic island
#

but also mean

#

people suffering without Newegg help :(

unreal ermine
#

I'm looking to build a pc. I haven't build one in a while and I'm not familiar with the most recent parts, any suggestions. Budget $2000

stoic island
#

Simple answer, wait.

wide sparrow
#

Yeah I feel bad when someone has a question and I'm not able to answer it

#

Then when you wait no one comes

stoic island
#

3080 still no stock :(

#

I'll make you a shell list tho, for when it does go back in stock

#

@unreal ermine what do you need it to do

wide sparrow
#

Ok

polar prism
#

It’ll be sometime this week

stoic island
#

Some stock yes

polar prism
#

I think 2-3 restocks this week depending on the company

stoic island
#

but we don't know if it'll go insta sell out

#

so we won't know until the day comes

wide sparrow
#

I actually have my eye on one 3080 in particular

polar prism
#

Probably not. They limited to 1-2 per customer which they didn’t last time

wide sparrow
stoic island
#

O yea vision D looks pretty nice

#

thought it had a delayed release or something?

unreal ermine
#

@stoic island A little bit of everything

viral ore
#

this gigabyte vision lineup looks awesome

wide sparrow
#

Delayed?????

stoic island
#

as in

wide sparrow
#

I don't like that word

#

😤

stoic island
#

the model wasn't avaliable day 1 3080 launch

wide sparrow
#

Ah

stoic island
#

@unreal ermine some examples please?

#

Programs that you use.

wide sparrow
#

So maybe next month?

stoic island
#

No idea

#

all I know is it looks smexy

polar prism
#

I just wish preorders could happen rn. Like I wish I could pay for a card and be told a rough time of when I could get it. Shouldn’t be that hard to do

stoic island
#

everyone is gonna preorder tho

polar prism
#

Idc if they told me November as long as I knew when

stoic island
#

and it's gonna be a huge demand

polar prism
#

It’s not as big as the 3070. It’s a $700 graphics card the demand is high but not astronomical

unreal ermine
#

@stoic island workstation, gaming

stoic island
#

Astronomical as of now lol

#

@unreal ermine specific examples plz? :P

#

And do you need a monitor in the 2000$ budget?

unreal ermine
#

no monitor, just pc

stoic island
#

Like, Photoshop, Blender, Premier, etc

unreal ermine
#

kind of best for the buck

#

possibly

stoic island
#

Adobe products would likely push me to go 10900k/10850k in the list, if not maybe a 3950x

unreal ermine
#

I use adobe suite, but not regularly

stoic island
#

Guess I'll make 2 lists

unreal ermine
#

mostly a pc that will perform decent when i need it. And be able to play recent games, if I want to

#

@stoic island I appreciated it

stoic island
#

bit of headroom for whatever you want

#

will make intel now

unreal ermine
#

Any suggestion for a GPU that is available now

stoic island
#

none

#

just wait

#

3080 absolutely creams the competition at the price atm

#

same 100$ headroom for doing whatever

unreal ermine
#

What make the difference between 3080 founders edition and the other 3080

stoic island
#

Interesting cooler

#

dif power plug (but comes with a converter)

#

but that's about it

#

the founder's cooler seems pretty good so far.

unreal ermine
#

Ok Thanks

stoic island
#

motherboards are beefy for beefy reasons

#

prob should've done u14s in the first list

#

forgot it existed for a moment there

unreal ermine
#

Thanks

little osprey
keen depot
#

@little osprey for that boot drive, change it out for a team mp34 500gb

#

its 3gb/s and only 60 dollars

#

and then get a hard drive

#

a 2tb one will run you about 50 bucks

#

7200 rpm one

little osprey
#

Bet

keen depot
#

im looking at that psu

#

@little osprey no on that psu

#

if im reading this properly

#

its an N1

#

and well

#

uhhh

#

n1s and n2s from evga are rated as tier e

little osprey
#

What’s a good one to get that’s the power supply right

keen depot
#

hm

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey did you not get a list yesterday?

stoic island
#

@little osprey NONONO

#

DONT GO THAT LIST

little osprey
#

😂😂😂

stoic island
#

Didnt I send you a 900$ list

little osprey
#

He hasn't done that since I first joined

keen depot
#

lol

little osprey
#

Yeah lol I had someone also make it

stoic island
#

I'm pretty damn sure I did

foggy hazel
#

you did @stoic island

stoic island
#

I'd like to have a word with this "someone"

#

That looks like a damn prebuilt

#

All the prebuilt mistakes like single channel ram

keen depot
#

its using an n1

little osprey
#

Probably is

stoic island
#

Bad psu

keen depot
#

which is just

stoic island
#

Bad ssd

keen depot
#

y i k e s

stoic island
#

So yea as of now, simple,
G o w i t h my l i s t

little osprey
#

I’ll just save it and go with that once I get my money back

stoic island
#

:p

little osprey
#

Money back?

#

Yeah so the pc I was going to build from Xidax I told them to cancel it then give me my money lol

#

🤦‍♂️

#

Cyberpowerpc, ibuypower, and xidax all over charge

#

This is my first time I didn’t even know about the pcparts website

stoic island
#

yes

#

now you do

keen depot
#

nzxt best prebuilt

stoic island
#

which is good

#

@keen depot we all know demonmit best prebuilt

#

don't you dare invoke anyone else

keen depot
#

c o r s a i r p r e b u i l t

stoic island
#

demonmit makes better prebuilts than corsair

keen depot
#

actually never heard of demonmit

#

but you know which nzxt build im talking about, right?

stoic island
#

It's a guy in this discord

#

he makes good prebuilts

#

at very good prices

#

:P

keen depot
#

oh

#

thats what you mean

#

damn those are clean

stoic island
#

yes

pallid ermine
#

does

#

6900xt have the AMD equivalent of CUDA Cores

stoic island
#

no

pastel abyss
#

Mr1111 that list you posted, what's up with the micro atx?

grim yew
#

Cyberpowerpc, ibuypower, and xidax all over charge
@little osprey way to much!

stoic island
#

@pastel abyss which list

#

Usually mATX boards are cheaper while offering the same features if that's what you're talking about

whole stag
#

@pallid ermine I think AMD Cores are compute units

#

Thats what they call em

stoic island
#

@whole stag they wanted to know about cuda for ai

whole stag
#

Oh

stoic island
#

There's no AMD like core for AI stuff

#

No tensor core kinda thing

pallid ermine
#

then im getting a 3080 20gb probably

peak shore
#

Cuda cores are raster cores basically. Tensor is AI and RT is Ray tracing.

stoic island
#

Yes

#

Cuda cores are basically compute cores

#

tensor for the ai crap

peak shore
#

From what I've heard 6900xt will be competitive in rasterization, and imo their upscaling is better than Nvidia dlss

stoic island
#

but other things do use Cuda

#

Dlss 2.0 looks sweet tho

peak shore
#

I think it's possible that Nvidia will still be miles ahead of AMD for Ai related workloads, but AMD may be very competitive in gaming.

stoic island
#

I don't doubt it

#

hoping for more things to support dlss tho

peak shore
#

I don't know that I like any form of upscaling really, though at 2k I don't really use it.

stoic island
#

I also hope drivers will be good on launch

#

I want to get 1440p and run 1080p upscaled

peak shore
#

Could help for getting into the 150-250 range

#

Fps that is

stoic island
#

ya

#

That's what I want really anyways

peak shore
#

I should play csgo at 480p upscaled to 2k

little leaf
#

yes

stoic island
#

try it lmao

pastel crypt
#

Cheapest rtx 3000 series build?

stoic island
#

?

#

~1000$

little leaf
#

go 240p and upscale to 8k

pastel crypt
#

Yeah

stoic island
#

for 3070

#

aaahhhhhhhhh discord laggy

peak shore
#

I think you could fit a 3070 in a 1k budget but it would be tight.

stoic island
#

You definally can

#

a bit tight

#

not like need to go 3100 kinda tight iirc

pastel crypt
#

3070 is $500 right?

stoic island
#

Yes

analog hearth
#

yes

pastel crypt
#

So that gives 500ish for everything else

peak shore
#

$1200 would be better

pastel crypt
#

Ok

peak shore
#

Allows you to squeeze in a 1tb SSD and quality PSU

stoic island
#

oh boy this is gonna be tight

#

it was tighter than I thought

peak shore
#

Lol you doing a part list?

pastel crypt
#

Honestly 512 is enough

stoic island
#

ya

#

I can shave stuff off tho

peak shore
#

You never have enough storage

stoic island
#

don't want to do 3100 so gonna try my best to keep a 3600 in

peak shore
#

So we've accounted for ~$800 already on cpu gpu and Mobo ?

#

I guess you can get a pretty cheap mobo though

pastel crypt
#

Yeah

stoic island
#

didn't even have to cut down to b450 ds3h

#

:P

#

side panels are overrated amirite

pastel crypt
#

cool thannks

scarlet spear
#

So for a build, ryzen 5 2600, gtx 1070, and a 650w psu, 8gb ram. Is about $530 a good price?

little osprey
#

Is 600w good for 3080?

#

3070*

scarlet spear
#

ah

#

I go overboard with power so I shouldnt answer lmao

little osprey
#

Lmaoo

#

I went with the recommended on my list

#

750w for 3080

#

@scarlet spear you don't need a 650

#

I'm running an OC 5 3600, OC 8gb 5500xt, OC 16gb 3200(OC to 3600), a 2tb ssd, a 1tb nvme SSD, 2 140 rgb case fans, 4 120 case fans with a 500w

desert gulch
#

@little osprey when willl you oc your m.2 drives lmao

little osprey
#

Lol never

#

And it's only 1

#

A Samsung 970 Evo plus

desert gulch
#

what oc are you running on r5 3600?

little osprey
#

Tier 3 I believe

desert gulch
#

nice

#

im running at about 4.0 ghz

#

but i had to get a better cooler to oc at all tbh

#

stock cooler doesnt oc well

little osprey
#

My 5500XT is set to run at 1915 MHz for the max clock speed

#

Most stock coolers dont

#

That's why OC isn't recommended nor covered by warranty

desert gulch
#

my 5700xt is very slightly overclocked

scarlet spear
#

@little osprey mans wants to upgrade later

little osprey
#

I guess

#

But still, I'm doing a lot of OC and quite a bit of case fan usage

#

Im using around 450w max too

#

And it's a regular 80+ too, not even a 80+ bronze

scarlet spear
#

I see

#

ill pass along the info

little osprey
#

I mean you can get the 650 if you want

scarlet spear
#

its for a friend

#

hes pc shopping and was asking me for help

waxen finch
#

h

#

.

meager dagger
#

Any good budget PC Cases, 75 or lower

little leaf
#

p300a

shell wind
#

does anyone help me find a case for my pc

vague willow
#

I mean the nzxt h510 is 70 bucks I like that case

#

@meager dagger

little leaf
#

nzxt h510 bad airflow

shell wind
vague willow
#

Yeah well

little leaf
#

yes the td500 is good

#

the 220t is good

#

the p400a is also good

stoic island
#

H510 I no like

#

Td500 mesh very nice

little leaf
#

though mr111 hates the 220t and p400a

#

since no d15

stoic island
#

Yes

shell wind
#

@stoic island

stoic island
#

No d15 no u14

vague willow
#

But I mean the h510 would be alright for something that doesn't run super hot wouldn't it

stoic island
#

So 220t and p400a are a tier down from td500 mesh in my books

little leaf
#

In looks I don't like the td500

stoic island
#

@vague willow my point is, why buy a hot box when you can have a not so hot box

#

:p

vague willow
#

I suppose

shell wind
vague willow
#

Someone earlier said the p400a

#

That one's pretty similar

shell wind
#

i didnt see it do you have a link

stoic island
#

@shell wind it's shipped by Amazon so I'm guessing any other case you buy will have similar shipping time

shell wind
#

is this one good @stoic island @vague willow

stoic island
#

Td500 mesh is great

shell wind
#

what does that mean

#

is that a case?

stoic island
#

The case you linked above

#

Yes

shell wind
#

is it better?

stoic island
#

Td500 mesh is one you linked, and it's a great case.

little osprey
#

A friend has a HP 339A Mobo and an i3-3 cpu

#

They sent me this list and want it looked thru

stoic island
#

uhh

#

@little osprey what about amd >:)

#

like a 3600+b450 ds3h, change ssd to mp34 512gb, and grab a 1660 super.

little osprey
#

They're running an Intel rn and they're wanting to upgrade slowly over time

#

They're saving up for the Mobo first

#

And it'll be for games like WoW and Minecraft really

#

Not bigger than Minecraft

#

Grabbed a 2 TB hdd because they're also using for school work

cursive wharf
#

Upgrading slowly means you spend more money so idk

#

Very hard to spend equal

little osprey
#

@cursive wharf they currently have an i3-3

cursive wharf
#

So 3rd gen Intel?

little osprey
#

Yes

#

That's current as of this second

#

But they have an hp 339A motherboard

cursive wharf
#

They need to buy new CPU/Mobo/RAM all at the same time, whether you go AMD or Intel

little osprey
#

hello

#

Couldn't they buy Mobo first?

#

As long as it fits the bios?

cursive wharf
#

No mobo will work with 3rd gen and 9th gen

small osprey
prisma stag
#

Just got off work anyone get lucky and get a 3080 today?

waxen finch
#

No

little osprey
#

@cursive wharf ahhh ok

waxen finch
#

Yo

little osprey
#

imagine getting the 3070

waxen finch
#

I have no money 😦

little osprey
#

thats gonna be me

waxen finch
#

I don’t even have a gpu lmao

stoic island
#

So ya AMD time

waxen finch
#

Should I get a 2070 super ftw3 for 400 bucks or 2080 super for 420?

little osprey
#

who uses wasd in 2020

#

like ewww

waxen finch
#

Cuz I ain’t tryna wait till December to get a 3070

cursive wharf
#

@small osprey reason for using Intel?

little osprey
#

how much is the 3090

cursive wharf
#

$1500 MSRP

waxen finch
#

I haven’t been able to use my system for 3 weeks straight now

little osprey
#

o

#

nooooooo

#

1500!!

stoic island
#

@little osprey btw, any reason for the 32gb ram?

cursive wharf
#

It's basically a Titan replacement

little osprey
#

the 3080 is 600

cursive wharf
#

Large price tag is expected

little osprey
#

but the 3090 is 1500

cursive wharf
#

3080 is $699

little osprey
#

o

#

still double the price

cursive wharf
#

2080Ti was 1.2k and RTX titan was 2.5k

small osprey
#

@small osprey reason for using Intel?
@cursive wharf um not rly. which ryzen u recommend in place

waxen finch
#

Wait the 3080 is 600?

cursive wharf
#

No, 699

little osprey
#

@stoic island 32?

#

no

#

700

waxen finch
#

Should I get a AIBs 3070 or a 3080 FE

stoic island
#

In the list

cursive wharf
#

@small osprey I'd recommend R5 3600

stoic island
#

Your friend's list

little osprey
#

No, 699
@cursive wharf its 700

stoic island
#

@little osprey no, 699.99

little osprey
#

no

#

69.00

cursive wharf
#

@waxen finch I don't get why you ask. Almost no AIB 3070 will be at 3080 price unless stock affects the pricing

little osprey
#

@stoic island thanks for pointing that out

cursive wharf
#

AIB 3080s are $30 more then FE for the most part

little osprey
#

Was wondering y it was $100

small osprey
#

@small osprey I'd recommend R5 3600
@cursive wharf is the 3600x worth it?

stoic island
#

Lol

#

Right now yes, because 10$ difference, usually, no.

little osprey
#

whats the most expensive gpu

stoic island
#

Msrp?

little osprey
#

and the cheapest cpu

stoic island
#

It's some server GPU you need to get a quote for

#

:p

little osprey
#

im gonna pair the cheapest cpu and the most expensive gpu

foggy hazel
stoic island
#

What about it

waxen finch
#

@waxen finch I don't get why you ask. Almost no AIB 3070 will be at 3080 price unless stock affects the pricing
@cursive wharf uh...? AIB 3070 that I want are like 100-150 more than the FE strix, msi trio...

cursive wharf
#

Both of which are meh or bad

waxen finch
#

Ahh..

little osprey
#

nooooo

cursive wharf
#

Strix is like LN2 area and trio... Is just not that great usually

little osprey
#

i need to buy themal paste

#

how much is thermal paste

waxen finch
#

Well I was thinking of getting the strix purely for its aesthetics

little osprey
#

hope it aint $50

#

or something

cursive wharf
#

$8 or smth

little osprey
#

oooo

#

nice

#

is there anything else i need

cursive wharf
#

@waxen finch for looks, you still have many other cards tho

waxen finch
#

Yeah, but none of them stands out to me as much..

#

Was hoping for aorous to keep the halo fans but nope

tame wyvern
#

do you guys think 16GB of DDR4 3000 MHz is good enough if I don't stream?

#

or is it good to get 32 for gaming?

agile bear
#

Unless you plan on heavy multitasking 16 gbs is fine

stoic island
#

@tame wyvern for what cpu

tame wyvern
#

i7 8700k, 3.4 GHz

stoic island
#

3200c16 works

#

what motherboard actually

#

because intel is scummy with non-z mobos

tame wyvern
#

Krait Gaming z370

stoic island
#

then it's fine

tame wyvern
#

Do you think I should get 32 or 16

#

GB

#

I had people say 16 is fine for gaming but other people say 32 is future proof? but what happens when ddr5 comes?

stoic island
#

ddr5 is gonna need new mobo new cpu sooo

#

yea

#

future proofing is your choice

foggy hazel
#

@tame wyvern re: what happens when ddr5 comes: Nothing. Your machine wont magically stop working.

tame wyvern
#

I know

#

I am just saying, investing in 32 vs investing in 16

#

Obv I'm not gonna be able to buy ddr5 and use it right away

foggy hazel
#

:)

#

hey, gotta say it

#

i cannot predict what people think will happen when new tech comes out :)

#

personally i would go 2*16 if you are building now @tame wyvern

little osprey
#

Well everyone recommended me to go 3000 series GPU

#

And lookie sold out instantly like I thought

waxen finch
#

Yo

#

Should I full send....

#

On a 2080 super for 420

meager dagger
#

Go for it

waxen finch
#

Cuz like I know damn well ima have to wait till Christmas Day to get a 3070

meager dagger
#

Yea Christmas day is over 3 months away buddy

waxen finch
#

Plus I could prolly snag sum Christmas cash from me parents

#

Since I only got like 430 saved up rn

foggy hazel
#

@waxen finch consider this: By then, amd will also have launched their new GPU

#

so, dont rush too much

waxen finch
#

So what are u tryna say

#

Should I not get the 2080 super and not have a pc for 4 months

foggy hazel
#

read again :)

waxen finch
#

I can’t read

foggy hazel
#

cant help you then.

waxen finch
#

I’m just playing

meager dagger
#

Yea im just going with a GT 720 with a i3 - 2400

prisma stag
#

Hey guys can i turn on and setup my pc if the only thing i dont habe yet is my graphics card

meager dagger
#

Yes

stoic island
#

no

#

If no iGPU or GPU, no display means no setting up

meager dagger
#

Yes

sullen spoke
#

setup without display brainlet

prisma stag
#

hmm maybe onr of my compents has integrated

sullen spoke
#

what cpu you have?

prisma stag
#

ryzen 7 370px

#

3700x

sullen spoke
#

oh that don't have igpu

prisma stag
#

well shoot

#

looks like this 3080 is gonna take a while to get and only thing on my build i dont have is the 3080

stoic island

@cloud oasis 3080 will have no issue pushing 240fps 1080p. If you have budget, I’d push 1440p monitors or even 4k unless competitive gaming

#

I’m trying to get a 1440p 240hz for a 3080

cloud oasis
#

Me competitive

#

Also im thinking of getting a water cooler aio

prisma stag

Anyone else add air bubbles to their thermal paste job for better airflow?

#

@waxen finch I doubt you can sell a 2080s for 500

#

@cloud oasis sto

This is the 35 time

stoic island

#

unless you go ln2 or smth

cloud oasis
#

oh yea

#

Ok

#

Sp

stoic island
#

it's either having your computer overheat

#

or you

cloud oasis
#

My old computer used to crash

#

Put of nowhere

stark bramble
#

technically it shouldnt make ur room too hot only like 2 deg f

waxen finch
#

i mean i plan to sell the 2080 super for 450-400

cloud oasis
#

From cpu overheat

stark bramble
#

its on one of j2c's vids

cloud oasis
#

No it made my room really really hot

stark bramble
#

yeah ik that shouldnt happen

cloud oasis
#

yea so i want proper cooling

#

And something that looks cool

#

:P

stoic island
#

you know that 3f differences constitutes to hot to a good amount of people right :P

#

imo 69f is perfect, 72f is warm

cloud oasis

I had to put my fan on, window open,

hazy ridge
#

does anyone know who is shipping me pc parts from sites like memoryexpress canadacomputers and vuugo

#

ex. newegg pc parts are shipped by newegg

#

amazon is shipped by amazon

stoic island
#

Newegg usually uses usps/ups actually

#

Check with ME and CC themselves

hazy ridge
#

who ships the parts from vuugo?

stoic island
#

Check with em

hazy ridge
#

who the companys

#

or what lmao

stoic island
#

yes

#

who else

hazy ridge
#

oh ok where can i get there info

#

???

stoic island
#

ask

#

email

hazy ridge
#

ok

sour oar
#

Any good motherboards that work with the i9-10980Xe

stoic island
#

why

hazy ridge
#

MSI X299 TOMAHAWK

#

any X99 TOMAHAWK

stoic island
#

no

#

:P

hazy ridge
#

rly why not?

stoic island
#

Need purpose before just grabbing a tomahawk for every build lmfao

#

all tomahawk gives over normal boards is slightly better vrms

#

:P

vocal hare
#

everyone has a hard on for the tomahawks now

hazy ridge
#

ah ok

stoic island
#

not really

#

just reddit

foggy hazel
#

@vocal hare that is not "new"

stoic island
#

reddit loves tomahawk because vrms and ocing is kewl

#

yea it's not new

vocal hare
#

but others have good vrms too

foggy hazel
#

i got into a heck of a lot of very heated debates with people when i first joined this server about the b450 tomahawks

vocal hare
#

i mean it aint like the b450 is bad

stoic island
#

Like every other lists that had a b450 was a tomahawk lol

#

it was bad for the price

foggy hazel
#

its a waste of money

vocal hare
#

but others have better features

stoic island
#

remember tuf b450m pro?

foggy hazel
#

oh yes

#

that lovely lovely lovely board

stoic island
#

just better in every way except vrms (which you prob won't take advantage of anyways), at 25$ cheaper

vocal hare
#

but man non rog asus aren't very pretty

#

not that that matters much

#

function over form

foggy hazel
#

if you are sitting there, staring at your mainboard all day.... get a hobby

stoic island
#

or get a SSD, the only times I'm staring at my mainboard is when I'm bored in a loading screen :P

vocal hare
#

i mean i ain't, its just the rog is the next recommended board on the site and it just looks nicer

stoic island
#

I have one model to say

#

MSI X570 Unify

#

idc what board you throw at me

#

unify is smexy

foggy hazel
#

there is one ROG board that i really like, and that is the Impact

desert gulch
#

Rog is better

vocal hare
#

i like the look of aorus

desert gulch
#

Gamer mobo

foggy hazel
#

but it is also hellish expensive

#

@desert gulch which one?

vocal hare
#

but taichi boards look nice too

stoic island
#

I just loove unify

#

for whatever reason

desert gulch
#

Yeah taichi boards look really good

stoic island
whole stag
#

Oh i love that

vocal hare
deep skiff
#

z490 itx unify is smexyer

stoic island
#

Unify looks almost refined compared to rog boards lol

desert gulch
#

Imagine if the gears actually turned

stoic island
#

@deep skiff it's thicc xD

#

well just wide boi

whole stag
#

Taichi should be available in a gunmetal gray

foggy hazel
#

the light part can go away for all i care

stoic island
#

yea

deep skiff
stoic island
#

that looks nice

foggy hazel
#

but the amount of features on the impact is just silly

vocal hare
stoic island
#

take the rgb off that and it'll be good >:)

deep skiff
#

dtx is weird i dont care much for it

foggy hazel
#

it fits in a LOT of itx cases @deep skiff

whole stag
#

I kinda want an asus b550f rog but idk

deep skiff
#

ya

vocal hare
#

i mean b550 rog is 190 ish

deep skiff
#

i think they could of used the extra space better tho

whole stag
#

Ye

stoic island
#

I kinda want a MSI b550 gaming pro carbon wifi

#

to just swap out my b450 gaming pro carbon ac

vocal hare
#

depends on your budget and usage

foggy hazel
#

what would they put down there Nachos?

deep skiff
#

idk i dont design motherboards

whole stag
#

Isn’t that board $220 @stoic island

stoic island
#

don't know tbh

foggy hazel
#

it has just about everything

stoic island
#

should be around 180$ mark

#

b450 carbon ac was 160$

vocal hare
#

the aourus elite that i'm getting was just part of a good combo

#

happy coincidence that it was one of the better 200ish z490

old glade
#

should i return my aorus elite that i got for 155 after tax 3 days ago and get 118 in return? I'm probably gonna get the same board for 170.

#

is that worth?

deep skiff
#

it only has 1 pcie 16x slot :p

vocal hare
#

@old glade uh what?

foggy hazel
#

@deep skiff and you would need more for what?

vocal hare
#

nvlink 3090 obviously

deep skiff
#

capture card or sumthing or dual gpu

old glade
#

b550 elite arrived 3 days ago. wanted wifi. shipping label has been created. should i keep and buy a wifi card or return get 35 dollars less and buy the same board but with wifi

vocal hare
#

just get a wifi card

foggy hazel
#

dual gpu has been dead for years

old glade
#

wifi cards are around 30 dollars

stoic island
#

THE BUTTONS

vocal hare
#

better than on board wifi

stoic island
#

GLORIOUS BUTTONS

deep skiff
#

it could of easily been set up at the price point and size its kinda eh imo

old glade
#

it is?

vocal hare
#

if you get a good board that happens to have wifi

old glade
#

i can still cancel the return if shipping label has been created right

vocal hare
#

nice

#

but wifi card is better

old glade
#

pcie wifi card for 30-40

#

then

vocal hare
#

i'm happy mine comes with wifi but again happy coincidence

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel what's going to be the quality difference between an ALC1220 and SupremeFX S1220? Part numbers sound similar... (SPC)

foggy hazel
#

close enough

#

Brand markings and the software stack @stoic island

stoic island
#

alright

old glade
#

which would u guys recommen

#

like do u know any

foggy hazel
stoic island
#

I like how the impact has the same amount of usb ports as the unify lel

old glade
#

i would have to do q flash+ also

foggy hazel
#

that is the mainboard in this tinker machine

#

so yes, i have a sweet spot for the impacts

stoic island
#

I'm looking at the VIII Impact for x570

foggy hazel
#

aye, the one i linked earlier

stoic island
#

they do look like they pack a punch tho lol

#

lemme see if they have a z490 version

#

that I can throw up against z490i unify :D

foggy hazel
#

they are silly compact

#

the Impact VI that i linked just above here, won a number of OC awards in the "FUN" end of the scale back in the day

stoic island
#

interesting

foggy hazel
#

it has ALL the power

stoic island
#

moar

#

stages? add em

foggy hazel
#

have a look at some of the pictures

stoic island
#

holy

#

first image I see

foggy hazel
#

LN2 mode? ofc!

stoic island
#

and that io

#

that's just

#

stacked

#

completely stacked

foggy hazel
#

aye

stoic island
#

I saw a news article recently about a motherboard with 20 usb ports, have you see that?

foggy hazel
#

aye

stoic island
#

I gotta pull up an image to compare against that lol

foggy hazel
#

thats in flexatx format thou

#

its for robotics

vocal hare
#

damn my new mobo only has like 10

stoic island
#

and that is? dem sizes are hard :(

vocal hare
#

not that i need 10 ports

stoic island
vocal hare
#

thats so much blue

#

looks unnatural

foggy hazel
whole stag
#

Is that for a server maybe

stoic island
#

ya

#

pretty cool though

foggy hazel
#

integrated deployment yes

desert gulch
#

Lol it looks like a mobo that comes in a prebuilt

foggy hazel
#

its a workhorse boards

#

100% designed for a specific task

desert gulch
#

yep

#

and that task is.... aesthetics lmao

hazy ridge
#

remember guys RGB = better FPS

stark bramble
#

iirc, multicolor = a little of everything boost
blue = runs colder
red = fps
green = lower latency
yellow = better cpu core speeds
purple = better gpu speeds

#

someone correct me if im wrong

prisma stag
#

my cpu chip is rgb

#

my cords are actuall y just led strips

little osprey
#

So many usb yikes

prisma stag
#

hey on a real note

#

i need a cpu cooler with rbg

#

any reccomendations? i dont want something super cheap but i dont wanta $300 cooler

#

something mid range

sullen spoke
#

not enough usb

prisma stag
#

hey on a real note

#

@sullen spoke

sullen spoke
#

Idk how it performs but I really like the look of the ekwb aio

little osprey
#

@prisma stag get the corsair aio for like 160

prisma stag
#

will

little osprey
#

sawzall

prisma stag
#

so im worried about having a radiator and fans thatll fit in my case

#

and the specs on my case says this

little osprey
#

what case?

prisma stag
#

Fan Options
Front: 3 x 120mm (3 x 120mm ARGB fans Pre-installed) or 2 x 140mm fan

Top: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fan

Rear: 1 x 120mm fan
Radiator Options
Front: 120 / 140 / 240 / 280 / 360mm

Top: 120 / 240 / 360mm (44mm max motherboard component height)

Rear: 120mm

#

TD500

#

what does the (44mm max motherboard component height)

#

what does that mean

#

my mother board is 12 in. x 9.6 in. (30.4 cm x 24.3 cm)

little osprey
#

uhh

prisma stag
#

yea me 2 lol

#

Max GPU Length
410 mm
Max CPU Cooler Height
165 mm
Max PSU Length
180 mm
Dimensions (H x W x D)
18.50" x 8.50" x 19.40"
Weight
15.32 lbs.

little osprey
#

my case is really compact

#

and i still fit a radiator that is bigger than most

#

well not really compact it’s a medium

#

i couldn’t top mount it because of my ram

#

but i could use it as front intake

prisma stag
#

could i put the radiator in the front and the fans on top? cause i thought the fans had to be on the radiator

little osprey
#

i used to get 65-60c idle cpu temps and 88c under load now it’s 30-40c idle and 60c under load

#

yeah better for fans to be on radiator

prisma stag
#

hmm

little osprey
#

i’ve never seen a build with radiator with no fans

#

pic of my build for better reference

#

radiator was almost touching gpu

#

i got so lucky

prisma stag
#

wow

#

thats nice

little osprey
#

honestly that radiator is op

prisma stag
#

what cpu are u using

little osprey
#

it has no rgb but for its price is insane

#

ryzen 5 3600

#

upgrading in winter

prisma stag
#

i have ryzen 7 3700x would it be good for it?

little osprey
#

oh yea

#

i got the 240mm version

#

there is a 280 and 370

#

360*

prisma stag
#

can you link me the one u got

little osprey
#

240mm is $100

#

comes with thermal paste

#

funny thing is that i forgot to add thermal paste and still get 35c idle and 60c load

#

i can only imagine how good the 360mm is

#

i would’ve got it but it’s always out of stock, you can find them on amazon too

#

it also has only one thing to plug in and you plug it into the cpu fan section

mild trout
#

When building a mobo outside the case to test if everything is working do I have to attach the cpu fan as well? Or is booting to bios for a short period of time safe?

calm crypt
#

Ummmmm it won’t let u I don’t think but imo I’d do it

trail ravine
#

so if i was looking for critiques on a pcpartpicker list would this be the place?

calm crypt
#

Ye fasho

trail ravine
#

kk

mild trout
#

what are you building this pc for to do?

#

@foggy hazel look it's your case

trail ravine
#

o?? someone else using this case?

#

and im using it for 1440p gaming and vr

mild trout
#

Naed loves the Node 304

trail ravine
#

i do toooo

#

its so nice

#

and i dont have to worry about aesthetics

#

no rgb in sight

#

all money goes straight into performance

mild trout
#

I'd talk to him about layout and compatibility

#

just keep in mind you may be waiting a long time for a 3070

#

He'll probably recommend going to the 3700x and going to 32gb of ram. That's what he did for me, but my graphical needs are greater than yours.

trail ravine
#

well i got a $1200usd budget

#

and i already bought the ram lol

mild trout
#

should work, but damn wish you had more room to maneuver with the GPU. 20s is still very high and the 3070 is probably going to be extremely hard to get ahold of.

#

Wishing ya the best though!

trail ravine
#

i may do a 2070s or something idk

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

little osprey
#

get a 3070 if you can

trail ravine
#

im gonna try

little osprey
#

if your budget is 1,200

#

and you plan to stream

#

get 2 pcs

trail ravine
#

i don't

#

wot

#

lmao

little osprey
#

streaming pc and gaming pc

#

both are upgradable for the future

cloud oasis
#

Why 2 pcs

trail ravine
#

id rather just put all my money into one

cloud oasis
#

yea

trail ravine
little osprey
#

less frame drops

#

and upgradable for the future

#

a streaming pc can legit be 300-$400

cloud oasis
#

Theres no point of having 2 pcs

#

especially if ur a small streamer

#

even some big streamers use 1 pc

little osprey
#

yea but 2 pcs have more benefits

#

watch alpha gaming

#

he explains it perfectly

trail ravine
#

but if you have a pc that can handle gaming and streaming simultaneously then why have another

little osprey
#

less frame drops

#

better more consistent frames

trail ravine
#

but how many games are gonna be running at 240fps?

#

that you play

#

and also when frame drops do happen on the 240hz, even if they're small, they'll be a lot more noticable

#

say you're getting 250fps on a 144hz monitor and the frames drop to 120

#

gonna be WAYYY less noticable than the same thing happening on a 240hz monitor

vocal hare
#

@trail ravine so not sure if you know this but if you get a 20 series evga card and register it within 14 days

#

you can apply for the step up program

trail ravine
#

huh?

#

wdym

vocal hare
#

which means when the 3070 is close to release you can apply for a step up and you'll basically be put in a que for an upgrade

trail ravine
#

oH

#

hmm

vocal hare
#

and you can use your card in the mean time

#

but when it hits your turn in the que

#

you pay the difference in price of the card you're upgrading from and the new card

#

and you pay for shipping

trail ravine
#

damn thats not bad

#

hm

#

good to know

vocal hare
#

when they have one ready for you you pay it and they'll ask you to send your card

#

and when they receive it they'll ship you the new card

#

this que could last months though but in the mean time ypu'll have a card to use

trail ravine
#

hmm

#

noted

#

thanks dude

vocal hare
#

i was planning on doing it myself but evga is in cali and the shipping cost from FL to CA is crap

#

if you're closer to cali though shipping would be better

trail ravine
#

im in the yee haw state

#

cali shipping isnt fun

cloud oasis
#

What mobo should i get

trail ravine
#

because cali hates us

cloud oasis
#

For 3900x

trail ravine
#

hm

#

a good x570 i believe

cloud oasis
#

Asus tuf would be fine?

desert gulch
#

Should be

keen depot
#

Anyone mind checking this out

#

Got the MB and psu reccomendation from a youtuber

#

TechbyMatt

#

@foggy hazel sorry bout the ping, but you probably would be able to tell me if there's anything I should change here

#

1500 is my budget

solid leaf
#

Can any of you madmen build me a computer with a $1400 budget? Dm list please

keen depot
#

@solid leaf I gotchu

#

I wouldn't reccomend going purely on this

#

Have others check it

little osprey
#

@keen depot tbh I'd get a 1tb nvme if I spent $1400 on a desktop

#

Or atleast a 500gb

keen depot
#

Oof

#

Just realised that

#

I must've misclicked

little osprey
#

No problem

#

I did the same earlier

#

Put 32gb ram instead of 16gb ram

keen depot
#

That's a costly one

#

Must've made budgeting difficult

little osprey
#

Nah

#

32 was like $30 more

keen depot
#

Really?

#

Which one

little osprey
#

G skill I believe

keen depot
#

That seems.. odd

cloud oasis
#

I want the best performance

#

i can get

little osprey
#

@cloud oasis you're gonna want to budget get for like $8000

cloud oasis
#

no like

#

for what i have rn

keen depot
#

Dude how much are you actually capable of spending

#

Not how much you want to

#

Also a 3900x is not needed

little osprey
#

😑

keen depot
#

That's just wasting money

cloud oasis
#

im gonna be doing stuff

keen depot
#

Like?

little osprey
#

@keen depot atleast he ain't doing threadripper

cloud oasis
#

And my older brother is gonna be teaching me editing

#

Hes really good

keen depot
#

Are you going to be editing videos a lot?

cloud oasis
#

And i might do some coding aswell

keen depot
#

After that

cloud oasis
#

yea

keen depot
#

Coding doesn't need 12 cores

#

Lol

#

You can do that on 2

cloud oasis
#

Ok

keen depot
#

But

cloud oasis
#

But back to my question the list is good right

keen depot
#

If you were to divide the task usage

#

What would it be

#

Like 80% gaming, 20% work

#

Something like thay

cloud oasis
#

oh

#

Probaly 50 50

#

Gaming and work

#

ill be working a lot

keen depot
#

What kind of work

cloud oasis
#

Might get into software developing soon

#

Maybe run vms aswell

keen depot
#

Vms?

cloud oasis
#

Also i had a i5 5th gen last time

#

yea

#

Is the list optimized for its price

#
