Go for a 3070
#building-and-recc-chat
keen depot
Because truthfully you're not going to need it
Nor will anyone else here
I'm trying to save you money here
So I'm gonna do some slashing
cloud oasis
dont do any slashing
keen depot
That psu is a little overkill
keen depot
This one is 15 bucks cheaper
Future proof isn't really something you should worry about
foggy hazel
@trail ravine you might want to remember that the front panel connectors on the node304 are "only" usb 3.0, its a minor thing, just dont be disappointed about it later :) Aside from that, its a solid build, only things i would change would be a better PSU and as @mild trout said, more ram.
keen depot
@cloud oasis all I was saying is youre overspending
foggy hazel
@keen depot i would remove the HDD and use some of that money for a better psu
foggy hazel
aye aye, i saw @trail ravine
trail ravine
thx
foggy hazel
just saying "IF"
keen depot
Any suggestions naed?
trail ravine
yeye
foggy hazel
let me see what is actually in stock on your end
hmm, also, while i am at it, im going to change that m.2
keen depot
?
keen depot
Alrigjt
foggy hazel
hm
do either of you actually NEED that 2tb HDD?
@trail ravine question above is also for you
keen depot
I mean not really at the immediate moment
I don't install a whole lot of games quickly
foggy hazel
and it frees up budget to do something like this
AMP psu is for both of you
its a really nice model
keen depot
Alrigjt
foggy hazel
and @keen depot for you specifically, IF you drop the hdd, you have budget for the 1tb m.2
which is a much more "fun" storage drive to use
@trail ravine see the list above
keen depot
Thanks a whole lot
trail ravine
hmm
foggy hazel
and the 10 year warranty on the psu does not hurt either :)
keen depot
I'll be impressed if anyone manages to keep it that long
foggy hazel
its not so much the fully modular part that is nice about it.
its more just the build quality of it
its a seasonic built but phantek branded unit
trail ravine
o
keen depot
Lol in total 1500.14
foggy hazel
@keen depot seasonic units normally have no problem lasting the 10 years
i have multiple of them here that are that old
keen depot
I know that, but at some point they'll get replaced
foggy hazel
aye aye
keen depot
I mean I know some people keep pc parts
foggy hazel
but where something like the Antec that @trail ravine had, and the Cooler Master you had, i would not be willing to trust them even for their warranty period. I have no problem whatsoever with the AMP (because its basically a Seasonic)
and yes, model over brand.
that specific one is however "that" good.
trail ravine
i had the cooler master
keen depot
So how long do you think before I can get my hands on a 3080
trail ravine
but regardless
foggy hazel
well, what can i do, i just woke up :)
trail ravine
damn
i need to go to sleep
just about 1am here
thanks for the help man
oh yikes total is $1250 if all goes well
foggy hazel
you are very welcome :) enjoy the node304, its a lovely case to build in
trail ravine
yees i am very excited about the case
foggy hazel
Remember, you are limited to 2,2 wide on the GPU
preferably 2.0 width is the sane option
@trail ravine also, give a shout when you have the parts or before, if you have questions about the build process itself
foggy hazel
aye aye, you got to get hold of a GPU first :)
foggy hazel
also, you HAVE seen that the node304 comes in white too right?
foggy hazel
ah, that late for the build
foggy hazel
scratch most of it
trail ravine
?
foggy hazel
ask me/us again
foggy hazel
when we are in the start of november
trail ravine
will do
yeah im just used to the console aesthetic
small black box that does its job
foggy hazel
reasons: new CPU from Amd and new GPU from amd too
trail ravine
lmao
foggy hazel
both are coming out before then
trail ravine
yeah im thinking about that
trail ravine
new ryzen chips will still work fine on a b550 i assume?
trail ravine
cool
yeah i wouldnt do 450 anymore
foggy hazel
it gives a 100% upgrade path to the zen3 (new ones) chips
trail ravine
oh really
cursive wharf
just make sure to update BIOS tho
trail ravine
yea
cloud oasis
What happens if u dont upgrade
foggy hazel
that part of it will be relevant when the time comes
cursive wharf
no post
trail ravine
i can just download bios onto a flash drive and update it that way, right? i dont need an older already supported cpu?
cursive wharf
depends on the board
trail ravine
hm
cursive wharf
only some boards support that feature
trail ravine
seems unintuitive
cloud oasis
Can u do that with asus tuf x570
trail ravine
i can just download bios onto a flash drive and update it that way, right? i dont need an older already supported cpu?
@foggy hazel would the board on my build do that?
cursive wharf
Can u do that with asus tuf x570
@cloud oasis no
trail ravine
yike
foggy hazel
only boards that can currently do that is MSI boards
trail ravine
oh heck
foggy hazel
@trail ravine but again, wait, nothing to even start thinking about now
trail ravine
true
cursive wharf
under different branding usually, but lot of them support BIOS flashback
cloud oasis
Or can u just wait until they make mobos that are already updated for zen 3
foggy hazel
well, if you want to worry about something that might not even matter to you, then please, go ahead :)
foggy hazel
@cursive wharf specifically talking about the "no cpu" at all needed in the board
cursive wharf
So then others need a CPU, but doesnt need to be compatible? No mention of that in Asus b550 Strix for example
keen depot
Oof I just realised the board has no wireless networking
cloud oasis
Also im thinking of using this https://www.amazon.com/Cudy-WE3000-3000Mbps-Wireless-Bluetooth/dp/B082NZYDDM for my wifi
so where do i install this
On my mobo
Mobo is asus tuf x570 plus

sick gyro
Hi guys, need some advice on a fan setup for my new pc case. https://www.newegg.com/black-thermaltake-view-51-tempered-glass-argb-edition-atx-full-tower/p/N82E16811133427?Item=N82E16811133427 the case comes with two 200mm front mounted intake fans and a rear 120mm exhaust. I have 5 noctua 120mm fans and a 280mm AIO. I was thinking of having 2x200mm as intake, a side mounted 280mm aio as intake, keep rear 120mm as exhaust, add 2 120mm on top as exhaust and the other 3 120mm on bottom as intake. Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed!
stoic island
So,
Intake : 2x200mm Front, 3x120mm Bottom, 2x140mm Side
Exhaust : 1x120mm Rear, 2x120mm Top?
sick gyro
yes
stoic island
@sick gyro My thought is it's quite positive pressure heavy, I tend to like more neutral airflow so it's easier to manipulate the airflow pattern in the case
I.E. Too much intake, so the exhausting air can go randomly out vents and other holes in the case
but you won't know until you try
sick gyro
Gotcha, ill try with the setup. I just have those extra 5 fans so i figured id put them to use instead of letting them collect dust.
near ingot
2x16 or 4x8 for ryzen. Does it make a difference?
stoic island
Just performance?
near ingot
Im looking at upgrading from a skhynix m die 2800c15 memory setup to samsung b die 3200c14 but I dont know if 2x16 has a performance difference
near ingot
32gb is all i need for my cad stuff
stoic island
Do you really care about b die?
near ingot
yeah
fleet pagoda
Why do i get like 50 ping with an ethernet
stoic island
Because your provider is bad
stoic island
If you're using ethernet right to your router, not really much you can do except maybe a better internet plan or better provider.
(Assuming decent cable and decent router)

In my first ever build (This is what I am planning) I plan to have a 3070 in my build I am still saving up though
knotty kite
Thank you! I use that and neweggs PC build
stoic island
PCPP uses prices from all websites not just Newegg so it's a bit better.
digital pecan
can someone make me a pc list under 100$? lol
knotty kite
Yea
digital pecan
if u dont want to its all good im not actually gonna buy it im just curious lol
knotty kite
My Pc will cost around 1.2K without the 3070 but when I get that it will be around 1.7K
digital pecan
Nice
stoic island
@digital pecan used optiplex
knotty kite
I did math wrong
stoic island
that's your answer :P

Does a raspberry pi count as building a PC lol
stoic island
at what price
keen depot
I would say probably 40 at most
knotty kite
120$
stoic island
too lazy to look further but t6e is good enough
https://www.newegg.com/tp-link-archer-t6e-pci-express/p/N82E16833704274
bit overpriced
knotty kite
We had to get extra stuff for it
stoic island
but I'm too lazy to find the like 25-30$ ones
stoic island
you own it or have it in the list
in the list, change it out for t6e
if you own it, good nuff

but if anyone has experince in diy water cooling i need help for a flashy hard tube build in a lian li case for 600
id like to know the gpu is a 1660 but doesnt need to be watercooled but leave out 50 for a vertical mounting bracket
not for me its just someone that want there pc to look flshy
keen depot
uh
@wary geode why do you want to custom water cool your cpu
just get an AIO
and put that money into getting a better gpu
keen depot
wth
wary geode
b550 aouros pro belive
my goodness is it flashy and nice
he streams and is a audio producer so he needs cpu heavy anyways
wary geode
kinda not so much i aint rich
keen depot
so wait, do you offer
wary geode
ive bent tubes and have all items nessasary
wary geode
just never actually put it together
keen depot
*whats the worry?
wary geode
500-600$
keen depot
i mean a tip i read while looking into the stuff was use zipties to lay out the stuff
and then build it off of thosie more or less

wary geode
ok no worries
im stil in planning
im planning a hydro version with a lian li distro plate
and a 360 rad

@mossy citrus I meant to put in a u14s

which is same if not better than fuma 2 :P
mossy citrus
fuma 2 good value

fuma 2 is good value, still better than u14s
u14s is better than u12s tho

@austere condor does the glass go on the case?
or is the CPU cooler too big lol
austere condor
glass fits. i just take it off for photos cause it glares
the lights i have are too bright to take photos with the glass panels on
thats how i have stuff setup for taking photos
vague willow
what do you guys think would be a good cpu to combine with a 1650 super
digital pecan
thats how i have stuff setup for taking photos
@austere condor Thats sick! What kind of camera?
austere condor
Canon M50 with a sigma 30mm F/1.4
digital pecan
Nice
trail ravine
@vague willow i'd recommend a ryzen 5 2600 for the 1650s personally
little leaf
I would reccomend a 3100
for a budget build a 3100 works very well
if you are trying to go below 500 try a 9100f
if you have a higher budget through it into a gpu
so 3100 + 1660s
is better than 2600 + 1650s
fair atlas
I am not interested in gaming, but would a new gaming desktop processor speed up my desktop computer? My proc: AMD A4-6300B APU
whole stag
Yeah
foggy hazel
@fair atlas you are on what is considered a dead platform. Meaning, mainboard, ram, and cpu would have to be replaced for it to make any sense
@fair atlas and at the same time, do you know if you have a SSD?
delicate sail
Will a b450 ds3h handle R7 1700
foggy hazel
yes
fair atlas
drive is: WDC WD2500AAKX
potent pike
Is it good to mount vertical gpu?
foggy hazel
@fair atlas okay, that is a HDD, so IF you dont want to upgrade everything, there is a some extra life to be found by going with a SSD upgrade
rich void
Switching to an SSD is one of the best all around quality of life upgrades you can make
fair atlas
I should just get a new gaming machine. Yes?
foggy hazel
IF you want to play anything modern ? yes
fair atlas
Is a gaming machine a faster choice for general use?
plush mist
yes
what do you plan on using it for if u get one
but overall, gaming components are almost always better than workstations and other
rich void
If it's primarily for web browsing or something there's going to be a point of diminishing returns.
plush mist
just upgrade ram for web browsing
rich void
Well that's the question though, what is "general use"?
fair atlas
got it thx👍
plush mist

A gaming PC is just a really fast PC that happens to be good at gaming :p
nova shadow
may i ask for help from someone? to help me create a simple but good build mainly for streaming and light pc gaming?
stoic island
@nova shadow give region and budget
foggy hazel
@fair atlas you might be better served just grabbing something like a chromebook?
fair atlas
vg
nova shadow
US, 800$ but if needed 1k max @stoic island
nova shadow
thank you!
stoic island
Mobile is hard to edit on
I can slim it down to 800$ if you want
Or add some other stuff
nova shadow
greatly appreciated! i know nothing about pc building but i know i wanna stream from pc instead of my console
stoic island
Time to watch a lot of yt
nova shadow
no 870 if fine 🙂 it didnt have to strictly be 800, i have some wiggle room
100% going to start watching youtube
what other stuff would you add?
its okay if it hits close to 1k
@stoic island
stoic island
Need monitor?
Well a 1000$ build would look completely different, but that will do fine
nova shadow
hmm what would you recommend?
stoic island
Ehhh right now, I don't really want to make a 1000$ build because 3070 is coming
stoic island
Prob can >:)
nova shadow
may i still request the 1k build anyways? if youd really rather not its totally okay. i just wanna start somewhere with pc building
stoic island
@nova shadow no I mean I don't feel comfortable reccomending it with the uncertainty of the 3070 launch stock
Either I give you the list, and you find out you can't get a 3070 for months
nova shadow
would it help if you just leave the 3070 out?
stoic island
Or I give you an alternate list without 3070, and find out 3070 stock was fine, and kicks the hell out of existing GPUs
Soooo yea
nova shadow
ohhhhh okay okay i understand
stoic island
3070 is supposed to be really damn good
keen depot
2080TI preformance for a fraction of the priczqe
nova shadow
i can always upgrade later on, this would be my first pc
keen depot
@stoic island any luck on the shaving?
stoic island
O sorry didn't see you sent it
keen depot

stoic island
how much of a shave do you want
@keen depot like cheapest possible while keeping perf
or somewhat conservative
desert gulch
So mr1, you know how intel is more used for builds above 2080s? Does that mean for the 3000 series, that intel would be a better way to go for all the 3070,3080,3090?
desert gulch
oh ok
stoic island
not because of GPU bottlenecking
desert gulch
i thought it was performance
stoic island
Because if you need to spend 450$ on 10600k+z490, it's better to get 300$ 3600+b450 and spend the extra on GPU
desert gulch
yeah
stoic island
The comparison we use most is would you rather have 3600+2080s or 10600k+2070s
desert gulch
you saw the deal on the z490 and i7-10700 right?
stoic island
@keen depot really quick small corner cutting
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lj8rJb
no?
stoic island
the hell is a KA
desert gulch
integrated graphics i think
stoic island
K has integrated graphics
stoic island
prob but I don't get it

I think that 10700ka is just a k that comes in an avengers themed box, but I am not 100% on that

yes

Zen 3 will be 7nm+ so it may bring some performance improvement

also just found this on the same page of my case specs
foggy hazel
and neither of those are relevant
what you are looking for is basically the "thickness of the mainboard
prisma stag
o ok one second i can find that
summer pasture
I just put together my first build and i used a rx570 I dont think it was the right choice but im not 100% any thoughts
prisma stag
crap i dont think my motherboard specs show thickness
i might have to pick a different motherboard to be safe
foggy hazel
@prisma stag google something close to this
case name, radiator size
and look at some of the builds
prisma stag
good idea, should i add motherboard?
prisma stag
but from listening to what u said, i feel like the cpu cooler will be kind of infront of the motherboard not directly on top, thats why u dont want motherboard components sticking out, is that right?
onyx lava
You can build a pc without a GPU right
cloud oasis
No
little leaf
yes
foggy hazel
@prisma stag
cloud oasis
Unless the cpu has integrated graphics
foggy hazel
@cloud oasis you dont need a gpu at all on a system.
@prisma stag see the green markings?
foggy hazel
that is the "thickness" (space) that the AIO radiator has to fit into
prisma stag
ooooo ok
foggy hazel
so
foggy hazel
instead of making the case "taller"
they are going down "over" the mainboard
which is perfectly fine
prisma stag
like overhanging infront of the motherboard
foggy hazel
infront of the green of that
BUT its not blocking it completely
and again. that is perfectly fine
foggy hazel
BUT if the part that says "carbon" was 10cm tall?
no, it should not reach that far down
foggy hazel
but, as i said, search for case name and radiator size
to give you some idea about how it looks :)
prisma stag
yea i googled
no one done it yet
im gonna order it
and if it dont work ill just ebay it haha
at this point im tired of worrying about it
lol
foggy hazel
so, what you are saying is that there is NO ONE that has a radiator in your size in that case?
foggy hazel
now, please look at what i asked you to search :)
prisma stag
should i combine the fans and the radiator in the size i search
foggy hazel
no
prisma stag
25mm fans 27mm radiator
prisma stag
well after reading all that
mighty grove
i can go up a little
mighty grove
i have parts but can someone show me what i need to change
my budget is 600
prisma stag
ooo i got idea
i wonder if i put all this in pcpartpicker
if the compatibiltychecker will let me know if itll fight
fit*
foggy hazel
its a number it cannot check
it does not know things that are not told to it
@prisma stag see above :)

Know your motherboard's processor socket type, you will know which cooler to buy.
is that accurate?
foggy hazel
yes, but not related to your question.
prisma stag
dang dude
mighty grove
i have parts but can someone show me what i need to change
my budget is 600
foggy hazel
if you have a pcpp list, then yes @mighty grove
prisma stag
dude why this gotta be so hard lmfao
mighty grove
?
prisma stag
trying to find out if a cpu cooler will fit in my build
foggy hazel
just get a case that is actually not being silly with its top radiator placement @prisma stag
because that is 1 part of the problem
prisma stag
i already have the td500 sitting on my bed =[
foggy hazel
the other is that msi does not give that number
foggy hazel
if you can, go for cl14 memory @mighty grove
mighty grove
oaky
foggy hazel
also, what price are you actually seeing for that HDD?
foggy hazel
CL14 @mighty grove :)
mighty grove
ok
mighty grove
wahts the difference
foggy hazel
you had 600 as top budget right?
mighty grove
yeah
foggy hazel
is there any pressing need for that HDD right now?
mighty grove
umm idk
this is my first pc
i want to make sure i cant run well
thats rlly all want
foggy hazel
okay, give me a couple of minutes :)

Can I put this ssd in an ASrock b450m pro4 mobo?
foggy hazel
@fair thistle technically yes
fair thistle
it would work perfectly fine right?
mighty grove
nice pfp ra[tor
fair thistle
@foggy hazel the ssd would work perfectly fine right? or should i find another one?
Thx
prisma stag
@foggy hazel 1.6mm
foggy hazel
@mighty grove conclusion: ram is too expensive at the moment, so stick with what you had on the list. however, ditch the hdd and ssd you had, and use the one i have here
@prisma stag thats "thickness"
foggy hazel
@fair thistle if you can, something like the one i linked in the above build list is an option. BUT the one you have will work.
fair thistle
thank you
prisma stag
so what does that mean
prisma stag
but i didnt type my specific board
prisma stag
i strictly searched io shield height
foggy hazel
that is a ATX/mATX/Itx spec
prisma stag
prisma stag
so u think im good?
foggy hazel
hence why, IF you are not willing to risk having to send it back, you have to ask them about it
prisma stag
so i should take a chance
foggy hazel
only person that can decide that is you
whole stag
How long have you had it for
prisma stag
my case arrived today
whole stag
Ok so I guess you could return it
foggy hazel
case is technically okay
foggy hazel
see what i said above
foggy hazel
i am talking about the cooler OR the case
whole stag
Air for the win
foggy hazel
which is also a good deal cheaper
prisma stag
wait i dont need a cpu cooler?
foggy hazel
air = air cooler
prisma stag
i planned on over clocking thats why i thought i needed a cpu cooler
foggy hazel
read again :)
prisma stag
r u saying air coolers are thinner than water coolers?
ooo i get it
air coolers dont have radiators?
foggy hazel
i am saying, the occupy a different "space"
radiators are exclusive to liquid cooling @prisma stag
prisma stag
ok im done with this i think ill jsut use the stock cooler that come with my ryzen 7 3700x cause i still dont know if a watercooler will fit and rly dont know how to find out
cause
i check ram size
io shield size
motherboard thickenss
case specs
fan mm size
radiator mm size
fair thistle
should i get a wifi adapter or a wifi card. which one is more worth
foggy hazel
you are making yourself panic right now @prisma stag
prisma stag
and im fking ppoped
foggy hazel
breathe mate :)
foggy hazel
a noctua u12s will solve it all for you
and save you a bunch of money at the same time.
foggy hazel
then, and i repeat, IF you are willing to risk having to send it back, you can just order it and see if it fits or not
prisma stag
ok i think thats my final decision
im going to order it see if it fits
if it doesnt
foggy hazel
you could just move it to the front
prisma stag
ill return it and use the stock one i got with the cpu or buy a noctua u12s
thats what im doing
and im sticking to it
no more research im fking geeked out over here
foggy hazel
:)
foggy hazel
you are very welcome :) best of luck @prisma stag

Does anyone have any good budget wifi cards
polar python
i need some help
polar prism
Is Paul's hardware a good source? He just posted a build with many of the same parts I want but some are different so I want to see if I should go with his recommendations?
polar python
im trying to put together a parts list for about $800
whole stag
Ok
polar python
id mainly use the pc for gaming and a little editing
foggy hazel
@polar prism normally he has sensible choices
polar prism
The biggest different he had between his list and mine was a b550 MB over an x570 like I am thinking
foggy hazel
his (if you dont need any of the things the x570 offers) does make more economical sense most likely
polar prism
Well I need wifi and I dont think the MSI Tomahawk B55o comes with it and that one is $180
Thats why Im not sure
foggy hazel
iirc, it does not
prisma stag
naed
foggy hazel
and 180 for a b550 is just silly
prisma stag
i just watched a video with a build VERY similar to mine and his cooler fit
only difference was the motherboard
he had the bf550
b550
and i got x570
foggy hazel
check the top edge of the mainboard @prisma stag
you see any physical HEIGHT differences?
polar prism
Yeah, Im thinking about going with the MSI MPG x570 over the aurus but im not sure
foggy hazel
then there you have your answer @prisma stag :)
prisma stag
they both got those big things poking out at top left
polar prism
Aorus* whoops. I dont know much of the difference between the gigabyte and MSI boards
foggy hazel
@polar prism focus on what the boards actually give you
NOT what the brand or model is
polar prism
Im honestly not sure what is better when it comes to motherboard features. I know about CPUs and GPUs but not that
foggy hazel
fx? do you want X number of USB3.1 ports?
etc etc
those are the things that will actually matter to you in the daily use of the board
polar prism
Ohhh okay thank you. Im not that needy when it comes to those but that helps a lot. Thank you!
foggy hazel
@polar prism you are very welcome :)
polar python
i need some help im trying to put together a parts list for about $800 id mainly use the pc for gaming and a little editing
@polar python help?

have patience. When people have the time and desire to answer, they will

aye aye

figure out what fan model you have in the front, then figure out what size fits in the back
and then combine those two
prisma stag
ooo the front fans have to be same model as rear?
prisma stag
should i match my td500 front cooler master fans or should i match my corsair cpu cooler fans
foggy hazel
you could take a pink fan with glitter for all it matters
prisma stag
err
i think ill go corsair
will this work for a rear fan?
or is that fan to be added to a cpu cooler idk
foggy hazel
is your backfan a 120mm @prisma stag?
foggy hazel
then yes, that works
prisma stag
naed
970evo or 970evo plus
only difference i know is that one says plus lmfao
both are 1tb
nevermind 970evo plus on backkorder
nty
rustic sandal
970 evo high price
stoic island
@prisma stag I say a MP34 :P
prisma stag
already ordered haha
im too fast with the buy button
so i havent fully added my entire build price yet
but ive been putting the price of each item in notepad
