ok

#

And I have a MSI RTX 2070 Duke OC :D

muted wasp
#

put it in my nieces machine

#

it runs really good

stoic island
#

yes run good

prisma stag
#

wtf

muted wasp
#

but its not in stock until oct 10 on amazaon

prisma stag
#

dude is getting 100fps avg on warzone with 1080p

stoic island
#

Example pic lol

#

@prisma stag dats why 1440p is also important :)

prisma stag
#

and

#

he avg 60fps on 1440p

stoic island
#

exactly

prisma stag
#

63*

stoic island
#

60fps is about the point I say it's a good experience

prisma stag
#

i think that would be a great temp card for me

#

o wait

#

he was using this one

#

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Super Advanced 6GB Edition

stoic island
#

they're all close enough

prisma stag
#

would that be much different than a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12

stoic island
#

remember, all the GPUs came from Nvidia. The only real difference between AIB cards for you is just the different shroud/cooler

prisma stag
#

ok absolute last question

#

im deciding between these 2

#

$249.99 GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12 GV-N166SGAMING OC-6GD 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card

#

$239.99 GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12 GV-N166SGAMING-6GD 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card

#

one says oc one doesnt

#

what does the oc mean lol

balmy patio
#

oc means overclocked

stoic island
#

oc means overclocked

spiral zealot
#

yeah, they will sometimes push a slight overclock on the cards compared to nvidia stock specs

stoic island
#

on a 1660 super an oc amounts to basically nothing for ya

prisma stag
#

ok its only 10 bucks more imma just get it then

#

now to just make sure my stuff is compatible with it

#

like fitting in case and right connections

#

im running a ryzen 7 3700x with a msi x570 pro carbon and a td500 mesh

#

form factor on the card is atx which my motherboard is atx aswell

#

so i think all is good

#

and my max gpu length is 410mm and this card is only 280mm

edgy steppe
#

I NEED HELP: B450 steel legend mobo, ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram gskill, 1660 super gpu, and stock cooler. I changed my stock cooler to the wraith prism cooler and my pc started to crash and now it won't even let me boot to windows

prisma stag
#

@stoic island do u see any compatabilty issues with what i said above?

#

if not im gonna go ahead and buy it

#

also @spiral zealot ty for the help

stoic island
#

hehe you're welcome

#

no issues

prisma stag
#

mr1111

#

o ok

#

good

#

im just gonna sell it cheap when i get my 3080 but i think itll be good just to hold me over

#

or

#

i might turn it into a budget build for a friend or something haha

stoic island
#

You could keep it around or do that

still roostBOT
#
Sawzall2#6735 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

prisma stag
#

:PPPPPPP

#

ima kms if i see the 3080 in stock tmrw

stoic island
#

lol it's getting rolling stock slowly

#

you just have to be lucky

lime forge
#

lets not avoid word filter please @prisma stag.

stoic island
#

yes

granite imp
#

But I enabled xmp profile, just wondering why it shows two different memory frequencies?

stoic island
#

leave it for now

#

usually right side is "now" and left side is "settings to apply later"

granite imp
#

Okay. So check back on next boot?

stoic island
#

or check back in windows

granite imp
#

And does it matter that I plugged my ssd into the sata port 3 and not 0 or 1?

stoic island
#

not really

granite imp
#

@viral ore thank you so much for your help!!!

viral ore

yo

#

lol

dapper solstice
#

$600 build?

#

for gaming?

chrome ruin
#

im just asking for future reference

#

and ya

#

im new to the whole builds thing lol

dapper solstice
#

oh

#

so you want a list or just advice

chrome ruin
#

either is fine lol

#

what ever ur willing to do

dapper solstice
#

ill make you a list

chrome ruin
#

cool lol

#

thank u

white osprey
#

can somebody help with an internet problem? I dont think its something I would call my isp for

chrome ruin
#

whats going on?

#

i can try to help

white osprey
#

well my download speed used to be 300-400mbps, lately ive been getting about 20-30 mbps

#

im thinking maybe a bad ethernet cord or something?

chrome ruin
#

hm

white osprey
#

its only when using my computer the download speed is 20-30mbps

chrome ruin
#

is it only you computer

white osprey
#

yes

#

on my phone i get high download speed

chrome ruin
#

and your computer is wired right

white osprey
#

yup

chrome ruin
#

optic cable and everything

white osprey
#

i thought you meant wired connection as in ethernet

#

it used to work fine using the same ethernet cable a few days ago

chrome ruin
#

hm

#

idrk

#

but it may be a canble issue

#

cable

#

i cant type god

#

anyway

white osprey
#

i think i have a different ethernet cable some where

#

i could try that

chrome ruin
#

ye

#

u should

white osprey
#

ok

chrome ruin
#

is the router in your room

white osprey
#

yup

chrome ruin
#

though so

white osprey
#

my other ethernet cable is like 200ft long

#

thats the only bad part

chrome ruin
#

ah

#

the router is on your desk i assume right

white osprey
#

no

#

on floor

#

but right next to my desk

chrome ruin
#

ah ok

#

you could roll the cable up in a circle where u dont need it and hang it on the side with a tac or if you have a cable holder

prisma stag
#

yo weird name that i cant quote guy

#

u need help with build?

#

o wait

#

it was @dapper solstice

#

do u still need help

stoic island
#

@chrome ruinwants a 600$ build I think?

#

@quartz falcon uhhhh I kinda assumed someone else was gonna make you a list when I went, you still want a list for a decent streaming pc?

chrome ruin
#

yo weird name that i cant quote guy
@prisma stag ?

prisma stag
#

@chrome ruin

chrome ruin
#

lol

#

ya i was looking for future reference on a affordable gaming pc

prisma stag
#

ok

#

i gotcha

#

one moment

quartz falcon
#

@stoic island that would be awesome. Thank you.

stoic island
#

Since it just has to stream for the console, it won't be too powerful itself for games, but it can game decently.

granite imp
#

So normally with fans. The center part that has the Logo or the sticker or whatever is the side that sucks are in, right?

#

So like with the front of a case, you put the fans in with the logo facing outwards so you could see it, and it would be sucking air into the case from the front?

stoic island
#

Streaming from console only really requires you do have a decent encoder, which NVENC is

#

You might even be able to get away with less

#

but eh

#

that's also a decently capable gaming machine

chrome ruin
#

weird question could you connect two pc's so that they could share the load

stoic island
#

No

#

Not for games and usual computing

#

for servers and cloud computing, yes

chrome ruin
#

cool cool

stoic island
#

latency is a really big factor

chrome ruin
#

rando question sorry lol

stoic island
#

There's also multi GPU thingies, like crossfire, NVLink, and SLI, but they're not very efficient

#

not really random

dapper solstice
#

dang i just finished

stoic island
#

It's a completely valid question.

dapper solstice
#

i guess i was too slow

stoic island
#

As long as it ain't no "hey guys can I have free pc", any question is a decent question :P

chrome ruin
#

huh

#

im still here lol

#

As long as it ain't no "hey guys can I have free pc", any question is a decent question :P
@stoic island have you ever gotten that lol

stoic island
#

look around lol

chrome ruin
#

oh no lol

stoic island
#

every few hours someone comes around asking for a free pc or a "old pc you don't need anymore"

white osprey
#

ok i think download speed is only bad when using steam and certain speed tests

#

not getting consistent results

dapper solstice
prisma stag
stoic island
#

@dapper solstice I'd go 1650 super for NVENC

#

because streaming

prisma stag
chrome ruin
#

lol

prisma stag
#

@chrome ruin

chrome ruin
#

thanks guys

#

ill look into them

prisma stag
#

yea u can play with it

#

downgarde cpu , cheaper case cheaper ssd and yea

chrome ruin
#

so like its nothing special

#

its just enough to run simple games and high def

#

and more complex games at moderate right

prisma stag
#

watch on youtube search "cpu of choice @ gpu of choice" benchmark

chrome ruin
#

oh

#

ya im running seige and mc a lot

#

lol

#

im a basic gamer

#

but in dire need of an upgrade

white osprey
#

ok well my internet speed only slow when using steam

#

ill just sum it up to steam being steam

#

ty for help

chrome ruin
#

XD

#

glad i could try

#

even though im not the best with tech lol

cunning knoll
#

i got all my parts for my pc what else do i need to actually build it?

prisma stag
#

wdym

#

like tools?

cunning knoll
#

yeah

#

stuff like that

prisma stag
#

phillips screwdriver

cunning knoll
#

thas it?

prisma stag
#

well i mean u could get an anti static strap but yea thats about it

cunning knoll
#

do i need that

prisma stag
#

i mean not really but some people use it just to be extra careful

languid nimbus
#

A magnetic tray helped me a good bit so that you can keep up with all the little parts, but obviously not a mandatory thing

onyx lava
#

850watt or 1000watt for 9900k + 3080?

prisma stag
#

850

onyx lava
#

u sure?

prisma stag
#

While NVIDIA recommends a 750W PSU for the RTX 3080, it tested a system with 10th Gen Intel Core i9-10900K processor (CPU).

vocal hare
#

9900k was less efficient right?

#

and 750 is a pretty safe number

#

to cover their butts

#

incase somebody really skimps out on a psu when they shouldn't

keen depot
#

jesus

#

You can run

#

A 3080

#

On a 650

#

It's safe

hardy cairn
#

Anybody see any issues with this build?

onyx lava
#

oh ok so i can save like 100

#

going to 850 wat from 1000

vital warren
#

200 on windows wuuut

hardy cairn
#

lol

vital warren
#

and im pretty sure u can get a much better ssd at that price

little osprey
#

i got windows for $6

hardy cairn
#

ah ok. I had a samsung before and trusted em. I'll keep looking about!

vital warren
#

i'd get a 2tb nvme ssd over sata

little osprey
#

but damn you're going all out on that build

#

im jelly

#

just make sure you get a good cpu cooler

hardy cairn
#

My house burnt up in april. I was just starting up a 3D freelance business.

#

from home. . .

little osprey
#

damn

hardy cairn
#

so this is more of a workstation than a pleasure pc. but it'll double as both.

vital warren
little osprey
#

when you get a pc like that it will definitely bring pleasure by just looking at it

#

what cpu cooler you getting joe?

hardy cairn
#

not certain yet. had a few buddies that were saying so long as I'm not overclocking, I should be ok with stock. I'll take recommendations though.

#

also thanks dwella! I'm looking through some storage as we speak!

prisma stag
#

check out the kraken coolers

little osprey
#

if you are not looking for any rgb i'd gladly recommend the artic liquid freezer 2

vital warren
#

oh and #old-cooling if you want some suggestions for air coolers/aios

#

or right there^^

hardy cairn
#

thank you all!

little osprey
#

if you want rgb then kraken or corair

#

corsair

#

yeah you better update me when you finish this beast, def wanna see it

hardy cairn
#

if it's not rgb, how do we know it's working?

little osprey
#

theres an app called nxzt cam

#

it shows cpu temps

#

idle should be 30-40c and load under 60c

hardy cairn
#

The parts must glow to operate effectively

little osprey
#

the cooler i recommended only has one plug in and everyone else is already pre wired. you just need to plug into the cpu cooler slot. it has a little fan on it aswell and itll spin

hardy cairn
#

awesome!

little osprey
#

with any cpu cooler, you'll hear water sounds at first for maybe 10 minutes

#

thats the bubbles going away and liquid getting into proper place

#

aio cpu cooler that is

hardy cairn
#

good to know!

little osprey
#

yep

#

gl

hardy cairn
#

thanks, I'll post the build when it's done. it'll be a few months.

keen depot
#

@hardy cairn I'm guessing 3d modeling from the build?

hardy cairn
#

yep, and game design

keen depot
#

Nice

hardy cairn
#

you in the field?

keen depot
#

god no

#

I don't have that kind of budget or patience

#

For 3d modeling I mean

hardy cairn
#

ah, neither do I! 😆 But, I'm getting there. one nice thing about being poor and temporarily burned out of your home is that you learn how to save.

#

been saving for months at a minimum wage job for this. it's kinda my Hail Mary.

vital warren
#

well you can def save money on what you build

#

windows is $5 on ebay

#

easy

keen depot
#

ah yes

vital warren
#

can save on case too

#

better cases at the $100 price range

#

can save 80 on that

keen depot
#

Td500 mesh

#

mmmmmmm

vital warren
#

meshify c

#

#

some phanteks ones

keen depot
#

They're all good

vital warren
#

yep

#

hardy cairn
#

thanks! I'm noting all of this.

vital warren
#

gamersnexus on youtube does some good case reviews and reviews of many other components i'd check him out

prisma stag
#

i3 9100 omegalul

vital warren
#

and the new zen 3 cpus are being announced on the 8th as well so

#

might wanna check those out at the time if you wanna wait

keen depot
#

Well, those won't come out for a while still

vital warren
#

yeah that's true

keen depot
#

Early 2021

hardy cairn
#

cool. I was considering waiting till then and buying these cpus when they drop. and my house won't be built till november at least.

#

so I got time

#

again, thanks for the help everybody. I've been out of building for several years. you've all helped tremendously.

vital warren
#

this is a list i put together and kept mostly white components as you seemed to want that

hardy cairn
#

wow! thanks!

keen depot
#

At first I was wondering how it was only 1800

#

Then I realised the 3090 didn't have a price

vital warren
#

yeah i'll add that rq

#

how much is the gaming x trio?

#

bh says 1700

keen depot
#

Bh is a bit wack

vital warren
#

i'll just put 1600 to be safe

hardy cairn
#

it's around 1600-1700

vital warren
prisma stag
#

can anyome help me get the price on this build down a little more

hardy cairn
#

Thanks! holy cow! you work fast!

vital warren
#

@prisma stag could look used at used gpus maybe try to snag an rx 580 or something around 100

#

can save a few dollars on ram too

hardy cairn
#

I'll look into it. although, I'm definitely rolling the 3090. I do a lot of gpu renders in my work. saves so much time, and this one's gonna save even more.

vital warren
#

that pc will def be a beast

#

should get your work done no problem

#

and if you want to game that's no issue either

brittle citrus
#

Quick question, anyone know if u can split an addressable header?

#

I have 2 RGB products but only have 1 addressable header on the motherboard

#

Case fans/radiator fans

hardy cairn
#

thanks so much, again! I'll let you guys get back to being awesome!

foggy hazel
#

@hardy cairn check back in about 1-2 weeks before you buy

prisma stag
#

@vital warren can i put a 1650 and a 3080 in the same case and use em both for extra power

hardy cairn
#

ok!

foggy hazel
#

@hardy cairn simply to verify that things are still okay list wise

vital warren
#

wait you want to sli a 1650 and 3080?

prisma stag
#

yes

foggy hazel
#

@prisma stag for gaming? no

prisma stag
#

dang

#

can i strap 2 3080s?

vital warren
#

i wouldn't even want to put a 1650 near a 3080 for gaming

foggy hazel
#

for gaming? no

vital warren
#

a 3080 itself will run whatever game you're playing fine

lyric thistle
#

I'd do GT 730 and 3050

#

Finna be like big.LITTLE

cursive wharf
#

@vital warren trio kinda sucky. Low PL, poor PCB as a flagship, just overpriced for what it is. Tbh I see it as worse then FE

azure sable
#

and when i put my thumb drive in it says error loading operating system

little osprey
#

a8 9600 gtx 960 4gb 16gb ddr4 tomahawk b350 240ssd and 500hdd for 350 good?

broken basin
#

I think make sure bios in Uefi mode @azure sable and not both legacy/uefi

azure sable
#

where would that be under if i have a rog bios

#

@broken basin

#

oh i found it

#

which one should i set it as then

#

uefi only?

#

my brain hurts but it’s worth it in the end

broken basin
#

uefi only?
Yep

azure sable
#

okokok

#

it’s still saying i need to turn off secure boot in bios but idk where that is

#

freakin poop

#

i have a asus rog strix b450

junior crescent
#

Could i make any changes

desert gulch
#

Rgb fans do be expensive

austere condor
#

there are several changes i would recommend, yes

#

@junior crescent

#

little bit impressive that you've managed to make that PC part list cost almost $1500 with lower end hardware

desert gulch
#

Its aud

#

Not usd

austere condor
#

lol

#

im dumb

desert gulch
#

Id say faster m.2

austere condor
#

there's still some changes i would make, but let me see what some of the AUS prices are

desert gulch
#

Like mp34 or sn750 if it goes on sale

austere condor
#

what games do you play? @junior crescent

#

what monitor do you have

junior crescent
#

I play Gta, wow and valorant

desert gulch
#

Are you gonna be editing alot?

junior crescent
#

Yea i do edit alot

desert gulch
#

Ok

austere condor
#

what program

junior crescent
#

Adobe premiere

austere condor
#

is the RGB a must?

junior crescent
#

no

#

i just want a pc that peforms

#

not a light show

little osprey
#

why 2700x

#

the 3600 is better and cheaper im quite sure

hard badge
little leaf
#

Top have you checked the clearance

#

Do you need the after market cooler?

hard badge
#

Yes and No. was looking at the 3700x before and that wouldn't fit. but the GPU will fit in the Case

little leaf
#

The psu is a little pricey

hard badge
#

True, But I'm always bad at picking those

#

I want 750W so I can possibly upgrade to a 3080 sometime next year while I'm still in the middle east.

little leaf
#

Mobby dont need an after market cooler

hard badge
#

Oh right, was looking at the stock coolers for the 3700x before

austere condor
#

took a bit of a different take on this one.

going with a R5 3600 over a 2700x. you'll see better gaming performance, but in streaming, if you do a lot of heavy on screen effects, or multiple cameras, you'll see a performance loss over the 2700x. Adobe uses the GPU now for exporting, so CPU cores are no longer as important, the 3600 is fine at doing full 1080p playback in timeline, and can handle 4k playback.

no aftermarket cooler

A Pro Max is a good board, a better B550 is only $10 more, worth the small extra cost.

MUCH better memory by a large amount. Ryzen's IMC has issues with LPX memory.

1TB NVMe over a sata M.2 is definitely going to be nice, but i sacrificed the 2TB HDD extra storage for it.

biggest difference in performance you'll see here is the 2060 super vs the 1660 super. night and day difference. grate price for gaming and editing work, and you'll have Nvenc for stream encoding.

great performing case, still get the RGB fans

decent PSU for the price.

@junior crescent

#

@hard badge if you plan to travel with a PC, i highly recommend a mini ITX slim build. i personally had one as my main rig for a few years because i had to travel across the country a few times a year for extended amounts of time

#

they are great because you can fit them in most carry on luggage in an airplane, with a monitor

#

you said you already own that GPU?

hard badge
#

Yes i do

#

was originally going to move my 2nd PC into the case, but decided I might as well build a new PC entirely so I can use the USB 3.0 ports. originally was going to put a A320k-m/2700X/5700XT in there. Which would mean I can't use the USB C on the front.

#

The budget isn't an issue to me. I'll be over there for a year. and where I'm going is tax free lol

austere condor
hard badge
#

I had already ordered the case because i needed it to get here sooner. I don't have a lot of time until I deploy 😭

molten cedar
#

I need a new cpu and motherboard any suggestions? I currently have a Ryzen 5 2600and b450 motherboard but tryna upgrade to really use my 2070 super

languid nimbus
#

What’s your budget?

molten cedar
#

400 ish? For both 450 max @languid nimbus

foggy hazel
#

@molten cedar what exactly is it you think you will gain from upgrading that?

#

i am asking to make sure you are not upgrading in vain

molten cedar
#

Honestly nothing, should’ve been more specific. I’m gonna be giving my little bro my Cpu and motherboard for his budget set up and will need a whole new gear for myself. @foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

ah

#

b550 and 3700x is what you will be aiming at

#

IF you are dead set on ATX it will be about 10-20 usd more

#

because the above list is micro atx

molten cedar
#

What abut a x570 board? Heard they were solid with a 3700 X?

foggy hazel
#

unless you need a gazillion pcie 4.0 lanes, there is normally not any gain to get with a x570

#

b550 has pcie 4.0 on the first pci-e slot and the first m.2 slot

#

x570 has it on all of them

#

both are guaranteed bios support for the zen3 chips that are coming later this year

#

does that answer your question @molten cedar ?

molten cedar
#

Yeah. The b550 is perfect than? I’ll go with that and the 3700X. Any specific brand of motherboard you solely recommend? Besides the Msi pro one you sent ? Just keeping my options open

foggy hazel
#

nah, not really, its not about brand as such

#

its more about which model that offers the IO you want

#

IO = does it have usb C on the back? does it have headers on the board for the front panel?

#

do you need 8 usb ports? or maybe 12?

#

etc etc

#

so its just a question of having a look around

#

and dont trust the vendor sites for that info :)

#

always check the mainboard manufacturers page for the board :)

molten cedar
#

Makes sense, thanks a lot for your help. Really appreciate it

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome :)

#

and if you have questions, just ask :)

small heron
#

@foggy hazel is there wuch thing as a 3.0 header spliter

#

Cuz my mb has 1 3.0 header

#

I ned 2

foggy hazel
#

no

#

1 usb header = (generally) 2 ports

brittle citrus

shell wind

kind flax
#

Hello I have a question regarding swapping ssd from an old system to a new one

#

Will windows 10 boot up normally with all my files

#

im using the same CPU, GPU, RAM but new motherboard

polar python
#

x570 or b550

kind flax
#

B550

desert gulch
#

B550

kind flax
#

I have a micro atx motherboard swapping to a mini itx

desert gulch
#

Unless youre going with like a 3950x and a 3090

stoic island
#

@shell wind blurry in what way

#

Pixely

#

Or like

kind flax
#

Soooo

#

It should work fine?

shell wind
#

blurry not pixely

#

not clear

stoic island
#

Like what

#

Motion blur kind of?

#

Take a picture?

polar python
#

im getting x570 bc im going to oc

#

Which has the best value?

stoic island
#

What about no

#

Rtx 3070

sullen spoke
polar python
#

oo yea

shell wind
#

is this normal

stoic island
#

what

#

I don't know what game that is

#

and what we're supposed to look at

shell wind
#

if anythihng would makem y game blurry

#

its fall guys

stoic island
#

take a picture with your phone of what you think is blurry?

#

just telling us "blurry" doesn't help us too much

#

it could be motion blur somewhere, overshoot, low refresh rate, etc.

shell wind
#

ill send i oic

#

pic

small osprey
#

wut monitor u have?

shell wind
#

it was depth fov i got it

small osprey
#

k

#

@shell wind btw wut specs for ur pc?

stoic island
#

alright

little osprey
#

Are there any better fans I should look for for the mx330g?

#

Or are the ones I have added good,m

stoic island
#

really iffy looking fans...

#

@left bone the mx330-g air is in stock now, it's a mx330-g execpt kitted out with fans

#

god damn

left bone
#

did u mean to tag @little osprey

stoic island
#

discord is wacky

#

I type @ joe and he's the first entry on the list

#

and it pinged you

#

somehow

left bone
#

:<

#

is oki

stoic island
left bone
#

because im that godly

little osprey
#

LMAO

#

@stoic island and ight I'll check it out thanks

#

@stoic island this one?

spiral zealot
#

i'm using a similar model and it's great

#

i have the mx331 mesh-g

little osprey
#

I see

#

I'll check it out now

spiral zealot
#

almost identical, just didn't come with any fans except a single rear, but it has 3 rgb strips in the front panel

little osprey
#

@spiral zealot this one?

spiral zealot
#

yep

#

you can't tie the front panel RGB into a controller at all, it just replaces the reset button

#

but it's got a lot of options

#

i just use a static color on mine right now

#

using cougar RGB case fans as well

little osprey
#

That looks dope asf

spiral zealot
little osprey
#

Looks gd

spiral zealot
#

it's super easy to build in and has solid airflow

#

i'm running 2 intake and 3 exhaust, which isn't ideal for pressure, but i prefer the look with 2 top fans

wary geode
#

@wary geode

little osprey
#

I'm looking for new RAM

#

16gb total 3200 mhz

#

Thinking team force dark z

spiral zealot
#

you can find gskill 2x8 3200mhz for like $59 if you're looking for a deal

little osprey
#

I'd really like it be rgb, but there's not many with the style I like

spiral zealot
#

what style of rgb are you after?

little osprey
#

Think adata spectrix

#

The d40

spiral zealot
#

you could look at the oloy warhawk rgb, it has a dramatic full-lit top bar like the adata

little osprey
#

I have the z1, but rn I have to remove them and reseat them whenever I turn my desktop off

spiral zealot
#

that's what i'm using in my rig

little osprey
#

I was thinking oloy but I've been told theyre slow timing

spiral zealot
#

i have a 4x8 kit running 3200mhz cl 16

#

16-18-18-36

little osprey
#

How much that cost?

#

The 4x8?

spiral zealot
#

i got it for 130, but newegg hasn't stocked it in a month or two

#

the 2x8 is 67

little osprey
#

Ahh

#

Ok

spiral zealot
#

so you could just buy 2 of those

little osprey
#

Was just about to ask about that

spiral zealot
#

not as ideal as a matched 4x8 kit, but it should work in theory

#

3200 should be fine for 2 kits to run together

little osprey
#

I have adata xpg z1, but I need to reseat them everytime I restart my desktop. They won't be registered otherwise

#

New issue

spiral zealot
#

the only real flaw with the oloy RGB led's is that the center one is brighter than the rest, because it's so close to the diffuser

#

the ends are a little bit dimmer as a result

#

but it still looks pretty good

#

i posted a pic of my rig earlier in chat if you scroll up, and you can kinda see it there, but it's pretty minimal

spiral zealot
#

oh yeah, i'd get it from amazon at that price

little osprey
#

Can I run two different manufacturer ram cards?

#

Theoretically?

spiral zealot
#

technically yes, but the chance of issues getting them to match up with speed/timing and be stable is high

little osprey
#

Ahh

#

Couldn't I edit the speed/timings to match?

spiral zealot
#

you can, but depending on the die quality on each stick, they might not all run happy at the same settings

#

you usually have to end up clocking lower and running really loose timings to get everything to play nice

little osprey
#

Oh....that's great......

spiral zealot
#

which is why the ideal situation is to have a full matched set, but if you can't, then at least having 2 of the same kit from the same brand gives you a better chance of things working together

little osprey
#

My ram cards aren't even being read anymore

spiral zealot
#

oof

little osprey
#

They're a month old

spiral zealot
#

i'd try and RMA them if you can

#

they might just be defective from the get go

little osprey
#

It's a new issue

#

Like 3 days ago kind of new

#

There we go

#

Now they're being read

#

But yeah....should definitely replace them

#

The 32gb version is $95 @spiral zealot

#

Should I get the 32gb?

spiral zealot
#

4x8 or 2x16?

little osprey
#

2x16

spiral zealot
#

that's not bad

#

i mean, if you need 32gb, go for it

little osprey
spiral zealot
#

otherwise the 16gb for 61 is still a solid deal

#

oh, that's 2666 though

#

not 3200

little osprey
#

I can OC tho

#

I'll get the 16

spiral zealot
#

they're also non-sync, which i think means they only run rainbow pattern

#

you can't control them at all

little osprey
#

I don't really do much rgb editing tho

#

My gpu, mobo, and 2 of 6 fans are rgb, but I don't edit them

spiral zealot
#

eh, if you're just gonna run the default rgb rainbow anyway

little osprey
#

I'm also thinking of getting an rgb cpu cooler like the thermaltake ux1000

spiral zealot
#

i don't have any experience with that one myself, so i can't say anything good/bad about it

little osprey
#

I've been told ux1000 is bad, but I meant the style

earnest ravine

prisma stag
#

hey guys

#

i am about to start my build

cloud oasis
#

-2k

prisma stag
#

what should i start first?

cloud oasis
#

Prepare the mobo

#

ig

little osprey
#

Definitely

#

Put mobo into the case

cloud oasis
#

And set everything neatly

little osprey
#

Actually

cloud oasis
#

so u know where everything is

prisma stag
#

what about static on my body, how do i get rid of it

cloud oasis
#

U can use latex gloves

little osprey
#

I'd put the cpu into the Mobo, attach the cpu cooler, and then put mobo into case

cloud oasis
#

Im oretty sure

prisma stag
#

i aint got latex =[

little osprey
#

Latex gloves, ground yourself before touching them, don't do it con carpet

#

@prisma stag you got anything metal?

#

Knives, table, chairs?

prisma stag
#

well the mobo came with a conductive grid bag

#

so im gonna lay the mobo on top of that

cloud oasis
#

Use the mobo box

prisma stag
#

and my desk is cast iron so ill hold my foot on the cast iron

cloud oasis
#

Free workstation

prisma stag
#

ok guys here we go

#

wish me luck

#

wait

#

does the corsair h100i cpu cooler already have thermal paste on it? cause i aint got any

little osprey
#

I don't think so

#

Ik ryzen stock coolers do

#

Check the bottom

prisma stag
#

can i send u a picture of it

little osprey
#

Sure

#

Or just Google it

prisma stag
#

i trust yall more than google

little osprey
#

Lol

prisma stag
#

o wait

#

i just stuck my finger on it

#

little osprey
#

Lol

prisma stag
#

llmfao i got a finger print on it now

little osprey
#

Yeah just googled it

#

It should be fine

#

I did the same to my cooler

#

You can always run to best buy and get some for under $10

prisma stag
#

salve u gonna be here for a little bit?

#

i might have alot of questions

#

lol

little osprey
#

I will

prisma stag
#

ok

#

i got my mobo laying down

#

which slots for ram

#

i got 4

stoic island
#

Usually 2&4

little osprey
#

now pour water on it and it shall assemble

#

dont actually do that

prisma stag
#

ok ill be back once i have this ram installed lol

little osprey
#

your motherboard will die and so will your ram

prisma stag
#

o god

#

how hard do i push this dang ram

#

nvm i got it

#

ok ram installed

#

now cpu time i guess

#

um

#

which way do i orientate the cpu

little osprey
#

Which cpu you have?@prisma stag

#

Usually the manual will tell you

prisma stag
#

i found it now

#

i gotta match the arrows

#

ryzen 7 3700x

#

into a msi pro carbon x570

#

woot woot

#

cpu is in

#

now time for storage

#

i know where the ssd goes but im not sure where my seagate hard drive goes

whole stag
#

@prisma stag is it matched with the triangle

prisma stag
#

ya i got cpu installed

whole stag
#

Ok good

prisma stag
#

now moving to cpu cooler i guess

whole stag
#

Yes dont push down on it

prisma stag
#

i let it fall in place

whole stag
#

No pressure on the cpu cooler while installing

prisma stag
#

only thing that got pushed is the lever bar

#

ok good to know that too

#

dont push on cpu cooler

whole stag
#

Yeah thats the retention lever

#

Yep

#

Will crack the motherboard

prisma stag
#

i gotta read this cpu cooler instructions b4 i attempt

#

my mobo has a backplate do i have to change it to the corsair cpu cooler backplate?

whole stag
#

Yes

obsidian wolf
#

So i follow the thing a guy from this chat tell me

#

to go build pc

#

and yes something was imcopatible

#

and now i wanted show yall my new build

prisma stag
#

guys i think i screwd up

#

the bracket that is on my cpu cooler doesnt line up with ANY holes on the motherboard

#

@stoic island

obsidian wolf
#

what do you guys think?

little osprey
#

Looks good to me@obsidian wolf

#

@prisma stag send pic?

prisma stag
#

yes

obsidian wolf
#

Like in how long will it last till i need to upgrade it

little osprey
#

A while

#

I'm running a 5 3600 and a 5500xt and I can play most games at 1920x1080 at 100+ fps

prisma stag
little osprey
#

At ultra graphics

obsidian wolf
#

damn

#

Well thx you

little osprey
#

@prisma stag see the black holders?

obsidian wolf
#

I need somebody that knows a lot about it because im about to spend a lot on it

little osprey
#

Take them off

prisma stag
#

yes

#

ok

little osprey
#

@obsidian wolf no problem

prisma stag
#

still not lining up

little osprey
#

Turn it 90° clockwise

prisma stag
#

like

#

angle it?

little osprey
#

Rotate

#

Hold it like you are and rotate your wrist

prisma stag
#

like where only 2 screws line up?

little osprey
#

If 2 line up the rest should too

prisma stag
#

nothing lining up =[

little osprey
#

Weird

#

Do you NEED the Corsair cooler?

prisma stag
#

yes

little osprey
#

Cause tbh, if this was me, no offense to you, but I'd put the stock cooler on.

#

But if you need it....idk

#

I'm running stock myself

prisma stag
#

salve i thjinik i figured it out

#

i havent attempted it

#

but i think i can redneck engineer it in

spiral zealot
#

that goes on the back of the board

#

the bracket

prisma stag
#

ive figured out

#

that bracket wont be used

#

i will be using a differnet one

#

ill be usimg these 2 i do believe

little osprey
#

@prisma stag Chauntalei has the answer

hardy shadow
#

^

little osprey
#

Also, nice gun

prisma stag
#

yea that is right

#

but

#

im not using that bracket

#

im keeping thoose black thingso n

#

that u had me remove

#

and these brackets go on over it

#

look at the 5 minute mark

little osprey
#

Ahh

#

Ok

#

Sorry, this is the first time I seen a liquid cooler be installed so....

prisma stag
#

o ok all good

#

im learning my self too haha

#

now i got to figure out how to change the brakcet on the cpu cooler part

little osprey
#

GL

#

Everything else but CPU cooler I can help with

#

@raven crystal I have a few questions

#

Since we have the same case

#

What mobo do you have?

prisma stag
#

msi x570 pro carbon wifi

#

i figured out that first bracket was for intel

#

the bracket im using now is for amd

little osprey
#

Lol was asking Orthusaku what mobo he had

prisma stag
#

o lol

little osprey
#

Yeah, we have the same case so I have a couple questions for him

foggy hazel
#

@obsidian wolf that list is missing a ssd

prisma stag
#

@foggy hazel

#

how tight do i tighten those 2 thumb screws

#

@foggy hazel @stoic island

foggy hazel
#

they are springloaded screws iirc

prisma stag
#

so

#

?

foggy hazel
#

can you confirm there is a spring between the screw and the plate it screws into?

prisma stag
#

there is not

foggy hazel
#

ah, they just use a washer

#

it basically serves the same purpose :)

#

just screw until it does not go any further

#

a bit at a time on each side ofc

prisma stag
#

ok

#

its bending the bracket

#

those washer looking things are not washers its all one piece

foggy hazel
#

then stop

prisma stag
#

ok i got it installed

#

now time to figure out these cables

#

=[

#

sucks cause i know absolutely nothing lol

foggy hazel
#

reading the manual is the answer :)

prisma stag
#

ofc naed but i still have questions..

foggy hazel
#

and those you can ask

little osprey
#

yep let us know we will be happy to help

prisma stag
#

these 2 are the only ones i cant figure out

little leaf
#

bottom is sata

#

top looks to be a fan

prisma stag
#

i cant figure out where to put them on motherboard

little leaf
#

the bottom one goes to psu

#

Top one should go to any fan header if its a fan

analog hearth
#

What

#

The bottom one is SATA. It goes to SATA devices (hard drive, 2.5” SSD, etc.)

prisma stag
#

this my cpu cooler

analog hearth
#

Top: looks to be for a fan
Bottom: drive

raven crystal
#

@little osprey I am using the asus x99 usb 3.1

prisma stag
#

ok i got it all hooked up

#

now how do i get my motherboard in case and secured?

foggy hazel
#

@prisma stag top is a 3 pin fan header.

Bottom is a male sata power plug (it connects to the psu)

prisma stag
#

thank you naed

foggy hazel
#

sorry for delay

prisma stag
#

i need to put this in case now

#

all good

foggy hazel
#

(on call with someone else at the moment too)

prisma stag
#

idk how to put motherboard in

foggy hazel
#

is this a new build or?

prisma stag
#

yes

foggy hazel
#

then test that it actually starts before putting it in the case

prisma stag
#

ok

foggy hazel
#

which leads back to, follow the manual :)

prisma stag
#

reee

night storm
#

Mind if I msg you Naed?

granite imp
#

I forget who was wanting to put their pc on their floor. But here’s what I use and just picked up another for my wife’s pc, just the cheapest black shelf available at Walmart. Looks nicer than just plain slab of wood, is cheaper than a pc stand, and has some sort of outer material that cleans easier than bare wood. I think I paid like $9 🤷🏻‍♂️

foggy hazel
#

@night storm you can, but i am on a call with someone else, so i am slightly distracted

prisma stag
#

naed

#

just put my cooler in

#

if its touching my ram is that ok?

#

i mean it fits but its touching the ram

foggy hazel
#

show picture

prisma stag
#

ok give me a minute

#

i took it back out cause i got scared

#

@naed

#

@foggy hazel

foggy hazel
#

hm, that is imo not smart

prisma stag
#

take it out and by shorter ram?

foggy hazel
#

or a different cooler

#

or mount the cooler in a different spot

prisma stag
#

na keeping cooler

#

was a nightmare picking out a cooler

dense jasper
#

will someone make me a pc part list for my 9 yr old son

prisma stag
#

true

#

where else could i mount the cooler?

little osprey
#

@raven crystal mind if I dm?

prisma stag
#

@foggy hazel can i mount my radiator on my front case fans and then just mount my cpu cooler fans straight to the top of the case?

little osprey
#

Sorry for late reply, had to cook dinner

#

@prisma stag I recommend doing top

#

Depends on case and mobo

prisma stag
#

look up salve

#

i did that it pushing on my ram

foggy hazel
#

@prisma stag case model?

foggy hazel
#

also @little osprey, the build you "okayed" from @obsidian wolf earlier? it looks to be missing a SSD. Please keep a lookout for that in the future :)

#

ah yes, also known as the case with the silly clearance at the top case @prisma stag

prisma stag
#

would my idea work naed?

#

can i mount my radiator on my front case fans and then just mount my cpu cooler fans straight to the top of the case?

raven crystal
#

@little osprey sure

little osprey
#

👍

dense jasper
#

can someone make me a pc part list so i can make my 9 yr old son a gaming pc

foggy hazel
#

@prisma stag elaborate, because i am not following your logic :)

prisma stag
#

so instead of mount my cpu cooler fans on my radiator

#

can i mount my cpu cooler fans to the top of the case alone

#

and then

little osprey
#

@dense jasper what games?

prisma stag
#

mount the radiator to the front of the case behind the front case fans

#

@foggy hazel

little osprey
#

@prisma stag you'll need to take the fans out

#

So like have the cpu fans and radiator separate

prisma stag
#

yes

#

instead of the cpu cooler fans on the radiator, ill have the front case fans on it

little osprey
#

@dense jasper I can make one, but need a bit more info

prisma stag
#

and have the cpu cooler fans on the top of case

dense jasper
#

ok my budget is 600 @little osprey

little osprey
#

What games^?

prisma stag
#

?

dense jasper
#

he likes to play roblox, minecraft, house flipper and pc building sim

little osprey
#

Ok

#

So I'm thinking maybe a 1660

dense jasper
prisma stag
#

naed u there?

little osprey
#

Hehe pc builder sim

#

Sounds like you got it all figured out

foggy hazel
#

@prisma stag as mentioned, i am in another support call at the moment

#

so my attention is split

little osprey
#

@dense jasper

prisma stag
#

can anyone help me

dense jasper
#

thx

prisma stag
#

im stuck

little osprey
#

I'm not sure if you can@prisma stag

prisma stag
#

i might just buy a bigger case

foggy hazel
#

@prisma stag show me a picture from the side please :)

prisma stag
#

sure

#

@foggy hazel

little osprey
#

Doesn't look like you can

foggy hazel
#

straight from the side "into" the case please

little osprey
#

Judging from the Mobo slot holes

prisma stag
#

naed

#

with the cooler in?

foggy hazel
#

aye

prisma stag
foggy hazel
#

that does not look like it is actually touching

prisma stag
#

it is

#

i have to push it down just a little bit towards the back to get the screws in

#

that right there is unscrewed

foggy hazel
#

okay

#

different ram is the safe option

#

technically it does not matter, i just personally dont like have parts touching like that

prisma stag
#

ok thank u
