I want to get the x570 gigabyte ultra and thats around the same price so idk š¤·āāļø
...
So why did you give that list a 250gb ssd
It's 2000$
@little osprey I mean, main thing is GPU, so it's up for you to decide if say a 3080 offers good value to you
plus putting it into a cheap case
......
I would suggest taking off the mobo and getting an asus tuf x570 (or even b550) and put more budget into getting a better case
airflow matters
@marsh kiln a suggestion. Please read the persons request IF you are offering them a list
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/pMWFWb <- this is your list in AUD
Just telling you what is wrong with the list.
its 3400 AUD
@foggy hazel more about 4400aud considering 3080 pricing
+700$ usd at the bottom
Oh you slapped in a new one
that was me that had not removed the custom :)
Didn't notice that
@marsh kiln anyways, point is, mistakes you make in that list are likely mistakes you're making in your own list
@marsh kiln so, in conclusion. It is not that your help is not welcome. But please try and understand that suggesting pancakes to a person that has said "no pancakes" is not all that helpful
Better to learn now about value proposition :p
@marsh kiln and on the 250gb ssd part, I invite you to think about which programs you want to use and not take a minute to load, and how most people would like fast game loading times.
No major aftermarket options yet, seasonic made one for theirs, but no one else yet.
Aftermarket GPUs don't use 12pin anyways so unless you really want a FE with custom cables..
focus on understanding the logic behind actual part selection, then worry about the look of things after :)
Does it really tho? :P
i am just going to say that i doubt that quite a bit, based on what you linked earlier
but it is up to you ofc
its your build, your choice.
should i, should i not
you decide @stoic island
okay
x570 = overpriced
samsung ssd, overpriced
hdd, bad value and slow
ram = slow
case= i prefer less razor blades on the inside
cooler=yes, its a fine cooler, but again, budget etc taken into account. bad value
yes. it might have been a "i am bored, 5 minute list" but that does not make it a good list
the normal mantra is this:
people will answer if they have the answer and/or time/desire to.
again, your help is appreciated.
but, giving a list that is so wonky vs what the person asked for? is that really okay?
would YOU be okay with that yourself?
@junior crescent https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/fh4cZf <- try and have a look at that list. But keep in mind, depending on when you are actually buying the parts, it might be a good idea to change the Graphics card
CPU would also be subject to change depending on when you buy and AMD's release
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dHXDb8
Added fans, monitor, keyboard and mouse. I think the monitor is good, I was gonna add a samsung se450 because it could pivot but thought I should get it later. Iak if the keyboard and mouse is good though
What should I look for?
144hz
Ok
That's why the monitors we linked you were usually all 144hz
A bit more like it.
Is the keyboard and mouse good?
any suggestions i schould switch? i cant afford a gfx card yet
until i can get one im just gonna be working on my stream and my programs
Thereās nicer cases for under 90 with rgb
The 3200g unless you upgrade later donāt get it
I would recommend to get a 3100 and b550 board
That power supply
im also on a pretty low budget
Whats the budget and you need those parts?
Like cpu ram motherboard
And such
Whats the budget i can make a good pc
470....
Ez
ive been out of the game for a little and lost my touch... š©
@grim yew That SSD is dramless, usually cheapest good 2.5in ssd with dram is Team Vulcan
Yeah I got it mr111
Si
I assume he'll get you a list rq
Should i upgrade my rx570?
Ok
unless you have money to invest
in 470$?
I mean Iām trying get rgb for em
I dont play open world or graphical games usually
rgb is cool but not needed bud lol
that's 1 thing I don't do xD
if it helps
@stoic island
I can decrease the ssd
But I think he wants 500gb
Sk hynix has some cheap ssd
i cant afford a gfx card atm...... thats the hard part
so 470$ total build?
I mean
id have 700 to do a build with but i gotta pay my electric bill....
9100f would work
ah
Who needs electricity
stupid bills
Plug it into a school
You can do this and slap in a decent 100$ used GPU
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cVfX9G
or are there any good b stock deals rn?
ive been looking
oh and i forgot shipping doesnt apply to me when i buy at newegg ā¤ļø
i work there
:)
it works :P
focus g mini is 40 dollars btw
what about the 9100f? it's a pretty cheap cpu
yea both are options
I like 3100 for dat SMT
but 9100f works just fine for gaming
it's like 35 dollars cheaper
Nah x570
I see it as double the threads so I personally think it's worth it
oof, it's not available at wegg tho
Isnāt the 9100f 1% better than the 3600 in gaming
a hyperthread averages about a quarter the power of a real thread
so it's more like 5 threads vs 4 threads
ub
eww
ew
get that ub cringe outta here
GN did testing with 10100f vs 3300x a bit ago iirc
and 10100f looked promising, until they did 2666mhz
yeah, but that was also with an overkill gpu, where ram can actually be a "bottleneck"
with a gtx 1650 and low res textures, there's gonna be little to no difference
so the whole ram speed argument is mostly theoretical, and doesn't really apply to a real world situation
Itās going to be a long 4 days of waiting and my teachers being *** confused
I believe it still would limit the CPU, despite a worse GPU.
where if a person is getting the 10100, you better believe they're only getting a sub 160 dollar gpu
Ram isn't really a bottleneck you only reach with high performance
lower speed ram affects framerates even on lower end GPUs
think cost effectiveness. cheaper cpu, cheaper ram, 5-10 less fps
that's a worthy trade-off imo
other side of the coin is upgradeability further down the line
2666mhz and 3200mhz ram aren't too far off with cost
And yes 9100f is good, but I'm just saying 3100 is also an option.
it's penny pinching, lol
yea tbh all of this is
9100f comes with stock cooler right?
I think it has the crappy one
I know the 10100 doesnt
yuck
whoo!
@night storm have a look in #build-pics thats the person i was talking about doing a build in the Ncase M1
I think it has the crappy one <- translation: Congrats @grim yew you have a hockey puck from hell when you decide to not use it
thats what im going for!
i recommend shinguards if you plan on using it at work
i work from home lol
ill go get catchers gear
Keep your pets at least 2 rooms away from it.
I assume the tforce vulcan has either a proper cache or HMB
I know the other cheaper ones dont
it has dram
nice
I never recommend drives without dram or hmb :P
what I assumed lmao
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fmBX9G so on this build i still have 150 to put somewhere
rx 570
9100f doesn't have an iGPU
most intel doesnt anyway š¦
9100f models don't have iGPU, 9100 does.
Private list :)
I need help
good bulid or not?
gaming
Here now
streaming?
yea editing
What's the sound card for?
Sound duh
š
yea i thought that
seems pretty extra considering like a built-in ALC1220 works just fine for most people
A staff is talking
I brought Antec DP501 case for my new build. The case has inbuilt ARGB controller. I have 6 ARGB fans (3 in 1 Bundle)x2. Each bundle has its own ARGB Hub. So, can I connect those 2 ARGB hubs into Case's in-built ARGB controller?
I'm running Short on ARGB connector on my motherboard. If i go plugging headers individually I would require 3 ARGB connectors but I only have 2 on my motherboard. So I thought of plugging my 6 fans ARGB hubs into Case's in-built ARGB controller. And from that controller to my motherboard's ARGB connector. Will thatĀ work? Will I be able to control my lights ?

alr ill temove it
I'll make a new list for ya
having a problem with 1-2 secs flicker with 144hz monitor (hdmi) connected to a fx505 dt:
specs:
12gbram
ryzen 5-3550u
gtx 1650
gamdias 144hz
P.S
tried connecting my monitor to another pc but it works fine so the monitor isnt the problem,
2. the flicker is only triggered if the majority of the screen displayed has color black
3. it only flickers if the monitor is higher than 60hz
i hope someone can help. thanks!
4. already tried disabling vsync
Need wifi? @severe panther
nah
or using ethernet
yea ethernet
@little osprey
@severe panther something more like this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nQnPyk
is good
alr
CPU Cooler is more personal preference
a good amount can work
and RTX 3080 is slowly coming into stock, so I'd assume you can get one semi soon
alr thx
nah, this year @little osprey
Hey do you guys think getting anything used would be good such as motherbaord?
@grim yew how much value do you put into warranty?
none really tbh
then go nuts
perhaps see if you can hit up @austere condor for a chat
is he selling anything?
try and search for him in #build-pics
:)
i think it will become very clear why he is the one you should have a chat with :)
Take a look at the "total cost" he sometimes puts with the picture too :)
i found him lol
I wish i could find the deals he does
reason i point you at him is that he has a much better grasp of the market in the US than i do (because i dont live there)
same..
I have an old pc and it works and everything just it's really bad and im planning on buying a new ram, gpu and a new motherboard ofc. So i can just disconnect everything of the motherboard, put the new motherboard in and put the new parts and the old ones that i haven't bought new, right?
@strange basin can you run us through what you already have, and what you're planning on getting?
Yeah just a sec
i found a AMD Ryzen 5 3400g 3.7 ghz (4.2 max boost) for 144
Anyone have any idea why my surround is disabled every time i restart my pc and I have to re configuare it?
i found a AMD Ryzen 5 3400g 3.7 ghz (4.2 max boost) for 144
@grim yew thats not Zen 2 tho, the 3100 outperforms it, unless you need the iGPU
do yall recommend to install windows with only ur ssd in place? so it forces install on ssd? and then once windows is installed then installing ur hard drive?
yes
where's the case?
LOL my current computer is soooooo bad, i plugged in my new g502 hero mouse and tried some league. for whatever reason when that mouse is plugged into my computer i averaged 20 fps on league even with lowest settings, so to fix that i put my regular hp mouse back in and damn i went back to 35 fps like im use to
how can a freaking mouse throttle my computer that much???/
@viral ore i do need iGPU š¦
I'm looking to get a PC for $800. Can anbody help with a parts list? I'd mainly use the PC for gaming, and school.
2600 stock cooler is better than that thermaltake one
is it really?
yeah
also i do need igpu
"better" because they are basically the same, but one of them costs 20 dollars less 
oh i thought you were saying rpm or what not lol
you dont need an igpu if you have a discrete gpu like the 1650 super
AMD stock coolers are solid.
wait, so why both an iGPU and dGPU?
im on a $470 budget tho
using both as monitor outputs on windows 10 is annoying as hell
I have the Wraith Prisim RGB with my 3900x and it's great
whats with the psu tho? pretty overkill
lol
ig
Is the wraith spire cooler good enough or should i get another one
ya but even a solid 650 or 750w would be cheaper, a good 650w is like 40 less
mine came with one
next step up or even the one after that good for 1600w psus lol
Ryzen 9 3900x
Wraith Prisim CPU cooler
4x LL120 Corsair fans
Corsair iCue 465x case
EVGA RTX 2080 Super XC
2x16 Gskill TridentZ Neo 3600mhz CL16
750W 80+ Gold Seasonic PSU
Tuf x570 Gaming Plus Wifi
1TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2
That's my build rn. Working well for me under 2000.
3400g is the best amd APU as of now. Because its only Zen+ based, literally any motherboard will work, Zen+ should accept the DOCP profiles of the 3000 CL16 ram with no troubles, the ssd is the cheapest 500gb ssd with a dram cache, the case is on sale and is a killer value, and the psu just works. @grim yew
I agree, and that system has a low estimated wattage so 500w should be fine
@viral ore
that + tax should be under 470
@viral ore the link you sent me?
np lol
and new egg i have promocodes too
poggers
ā¤ļø
i got everything installed except for my psu
where's the case?
@stoic island none suit me right now
@minor lynx Budget on case?
@minor lynx Budget on case?
@prisma stag no

Bad
yeah figured as much
@stoic island help him im on molbile
im bad at builds
?
put fan under gpu to help cool

ok
Hi I'm looking to build a gaming pc and can i get some recommendation on the parts? my budget is 1000cad
Hi, I am looking for a parts list for my first pc that can stream and game and sometimes do some editing and animations. My budget 1500-1750 aud
Question
Just pc
My PSU is modular and the pcie cable has 8 pin on one and And then 6+2 on the other. Does it matter which is plugged into my gpu and which is in my psu?
I want to plug the solid 8 pin into my gpu, as it will look cleaner without the extra 6+2 hanging off inside the case. Just want to make sure itās okay
Well Nevermind
The 8 pin wonāt go into the gpu
Does it matter which is plugged into my gpu and which is in my psu? <- yes, this matters quite a LOT :)
Is it made like this so I can plug power into two pcie cards at once?
yes
I r techie
@subtle gyro https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ljx4FG
Where can I get a nice clean looking cable?
Cable mod extensions
also, if you route up through that cable hole below your GPU, it wont be as bad looking
The extra cable still sticks out
You can like zip tie ir to the main cable
I could probably do a better job ticking it behind
Looks fine
Youāre too sweet
Reason: Bad word usage
Iām picky*
No bad words lol
This is my first ever build did in a thermaltake v200. Did my best. Ended up with 3 different brand fans inside and rgb didnāt all work together unless a solid color. Cable management left a lot to be desired
Trying to do better with this case upgrade
Got all Corsair fans and putting in a little more effort and learning from my past mistakes
Lol, wasnāt bad, they took it out of context
Better
that is about as good as it gets with a dual connector cable @granite imp
you could try and see if you can reach with the one you have hidden currently
so that you are using the connector at the end of the cable
and see if the current connector can reach below the cable route hole
Man, the guides I watched before building all told me to put in my psu before attaching all the cables to it, or maybe they werenāt using modular psu. But that was the biggest pain in my butt, not doing that this time
My PC keeps randomly crashing. I re installed my Graphics Drivers and that fixed it for about 4 days but it just crashed again. Any help?
I can plug a fan into cpu_opt right?
Yes
Itll just adjust speed off cpu temp
You can even plug a fan into aio slot
Itll just run full thtrottle all the time
im glad pcs are idiot proof tbh
My hands are too big for this bologna
those are generally put in BEFORE you put the board in place @granite imp
Like set he mobo just outside the case, connect them without the darn psu shroud in the way, then lower it into place while making sure not to pinch the wires?
basically yes
you can ofc put them in later
it just makes things more interesting for you
but you only really need the pwr sw one
because that is the power button
Success...even if it was the hard way lol
Whoa
Does my mobo have a bunch of foreign words on it?
Is that Russian?
Stuff em in, throw the cover on and call it a day?
if everything works? yes
they are just smaller, but generally same connector
what is the cable called with the 3 pins labeled "gigabyte" and the other "asrock, asus, msi"
i believe it controls the aura
I'm new to pc building and wanted to know how many fans I could plug into a rog strix b550-f gaming motherboard? From what i understand in the manual its only 3. Please any advice will be appreciated.
Iāve got the b450 rog strix and technically itās got 3 fan headers
But you can also use the cpu_opt header and the aio pump header for 2 extra fans
Or get a fan hub or use splitters. Just make sure the amp draw from the combined fans is less than what the headers are rated.
Thank you I'll look into that.
Iāve got 6 total fans in here
Basically, you can use other connectors that are essentially used for the same thing. Just different name in motherboard bios. Or use a spliter like 1 to 3. Just don't go overboard because you'll literally blow the header if you plug too much into 1. With 3 headers I'd say u can plug in 6 fans and be fine
Even more if you'd like. Just don't run all at max RPM
Cpu cooler obviously hooked to cpu fan header, top fan into cpu_opt header, rear fan to one of the fan headers near the bottom, and then I have 3 into a fan hub that then goes to the second lower fan header.
Thats alot of gpu sag
The fans usually will tell u how much power they'll use in description. So you can use that to know
Thats alot of gpu sag
@little leaf itās a little saggy for sure but doesnāt have any flex or wiggle
If it works, it works am I right
Probably
Any tips how to get this in
@covert vault either get smth like this or cut a new piece and bend it accordingly
Well the tube bends enough to get in. But I cant fit the tube in the fitting
you're probs going to have to unscrew the rad(?) and move it back, put it in, then move the rad forward again
Would a Ryzen 5 3600 and 1660 Super be able to play the new cod game thatās releasing later this year?
Anybody know a good pc part list for my first build which i want to be able to stream, animate and game, my budget is 1750-2000 australian dollars
That can play Gta 5, Cod, Overwatch and battlefield
And edits and can be used to animate
why should i get an ssd AND a hdd
what does an ssd do better then an hdd and when is it usefull
@hazy ridge short answer: responsiveness is about 100-200 times better on a ssd vss a hdd
and a ssd is usefull in all actions that your machines does that involves the storage subsystem
@hazy ridge and here is the long answer
I have no idea what this means, is that good or bad or meh?
read the manual @granite imp
So my aio works with the 3 pin f in cpu_opt but the rgb doesnāt turn on. I donāt know how the controller works but I plugged the 3 pin male in powered by sata and connected a 4 pin male which is connected to led_c2 brg12v
read your manual @weary bluff
it should be covered there
Your looking for a 4 pin header usually labeled rgb header
@glacial cove I mean probably not sure if it'll run well but MW wasn't that bad to run
read the manual @granite imp
@foggy hazel man, that involves getting up, finding my manual, reading it, then coming back here to try and understand what it says ššš
Iāll tell you why I canāt even hear this thing if I tried right now, sitting at 41c idle and the fans are barely going
i know, i know, the horror!
Silent night
No rgb header just led
the cooler manual should have the info, there is not only the mainboard manual :)
@weary bluff ayy mobo bros
@weary bluff then double and triple check your connections
I quintuple checked
Did you try moving it to any of the other rgb headers?
Or try hooking a different rgb fan to the rgb headers and see if possible the fan is bunk
Hmmm
Dang Iām dumb
I had this in there. I just plugged the female 3 pin into 3 pin male extra I had and now it works
Idk when I put that in
ššš
Man I was up for hours the other night trouble shooting a no post and worked on it into the next day and I just didnāt have my cpu 8 pin power cable plugged in
š¤¦āāļø
@foggy hazel how does that work thoe do i HAVE to put my games on my ssd to have a use?
@hazy ridge You don't have to put it on your ssd if you don't want to but, much faster load times if you do.
whats another use/ uses for it thoe @prisma stag
please help can this motherboard use 2 GPU's
@sour fox whats your specs
Really the speed of an SSD is the winning point. Alot of people put their operating systems for quick boots and games for quick loads on it. You can put large programs on it too.
so if i have an ssd will my pc boot up faster to?
Yes is you have your os installed to your ssd.
OHHH ok so does that mean my os sytems boot faster ex. task manager

Asus z370-i mobo
so pretty much SSD (lamborghini) vs HDD (school bus)
Yes both serve the same purpose but one is faster than the other (in a nutshell)
108 is kinda pricy
really compard to a a400
a400 only 40 and Team Group MP34 is 108 abt 3x the price how much better is it
mp34 NVMe is $41
im in cad btw
Tim Hortons is bae
Zallo, why do you want two GPU? Usually itās not worth the cost, or energy for the gain.
sli is dead
yea but for gaming its dead
And again why would he need two 3090, and if he had two 3090 or the need to run dual, he would likely know the answer if it would work on the motherboard.
lol.
the sheer gpu sag
but ye two 3090's makes sense for 3d rendering
but honestly at that point just use a render farm service
you'll pay less in the short run prolly
If he can afford two 3090 he wouldnāt be running a b450 lol
So much speculation itās making my head hurt
ive seen pleeeenty of workstations that run two 2070's or 2080's for blender though
and b450 is fine for that
but those gpu's are kinda trash for the price
compared to 3080 and 3070 that is
not if the 30 series doesnt get their drivers fixed 


Thanks for all your help over the past few days! Got my wifeās pc going and got my case switched on mine
congratulations
Too bad you couldnāt plug in your cpu the first time š¤«weāve all done it... or at least I have.
btw, mines not done
video card is being a used gtx1060 6gb
no cases suit me
I am thinking nzxt
Any reason intel over amd for that price range?
Still a intel fanboy
Forgot to ask, but is this a good list for gaming/editing and streaming in the future?
amd is leading the game rn im pretty sure
I plan on using photoshop and blender too
Does anybody know where the one on the left goes
is that a sticker
should go on the gpu
Well obvs but like where
Not the backplate
Iām talking about the one on the side
Itās not a sticker hereās a better pic of it
that screws in over the gpu
trying to decide want i want to do with this 1660 super i have sitting around
its a little cover bracket for looks i assume
thats a really good looking card
im not sure if i would install it tho, without youd probably get a more secure fit for less gpu sag
No Ryan I did not
Can you plz?
You just want a quick laugh
Alr thanks
ok so I have a friend who threw together a parts list for another friend
and I'm examining it
is it just me or will the 1660 just completely invalidate having a 9900k? Like at that point you might as well get an i5 or some crap
like a 9900k paired with a 1660 is just a terrible idea all around
change that 3200 mhz ram to 3600 mhz
storage doesn't even include an SSD so yeet the barracuda and make that a 1 TB SSD, or go with a 500 SSD and a 2 TB HDD
up the power supply, lower CPU and higher GPU
those good changes?
true, I'll tell them to wait
I was thinking that but I don't know what the stock is gonna be for it
Just show him the list
hol up
you sure a 3070 will pair well with a 650 W power supply?
I know that's the requirement minimum but idk if I should maybe do a 750 instead
Yes
650 is fine
gotcha
It can even be done with 550
oh dang
Yes
Even 450
Look at TDPs themselves, not just "reccomended psu"
Yea 450w would depend on rest of system
Just under volt it
But yez 650 is fine
New case and new fans and my temps are a lot better
Gpu under 60°
Cpu under 40°
Not stress tested. Just Normal use
@stoic island did you see that final list xD
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wDZkGc
So I added my case
once again, I will be usin a used 1060 (6gb)
wha-
I don't mean literally steal it
If you want to see what I have rn, I have a rosewill challenger S and a thermaltake smart 500w 80+ non modular
tellin me to change something or?
I am just looking for build help
thanks
I spent around the same amount on my original
Before I bought more fans and a new gou
*gpu
its funny how it's intel though
Granted I have like $300 worth of hard drive space tho
Im also running ryzen
Much more coat effective in my opinion
Also, don't forget thermal paste if the cpu cooler doesn't come with it
I'd have to rebuild it
And I also just bought new ram too
This is it counting new ram
Keep in mind prices changed on some parts since I bought them
For example the Seagate was $100 when I bought it
@minor lynx
I got this case cause it was small, cheap, and was ATX useable for it's size
@hazy ridge reading linked articles answers questions
sighs I am getting really tired of the waiting game. I want to build my new system now and not wait months more. A 3070 is beyond what I want to spend for a GPU and 3060 probably isn't coming until December or January.
you are the one that decides when you want to build @cold sorrel
My original plan was to build back in the spring and then supply vanished and I had to wait. Then I decided to wait for b550. We all know how that went. I wish I'd bought back in the summer when you could still get an R5 3600 Ryzen for 170 bucks or less.
Does the 3080 need extra bracing?
not any more than any other gpu would need
all gpus sag
i recommend vertical mounting, if possible
hides the ugly part of the motherboard, puts one of the coolest parts of your pc on display, and makes it so theres no sag
The 3090 does, but the 3080 doesnt
@prisma stag
Well, more along the 3090 should have it
especially with that kind of brick..
š
It also depends on the case. SOMETIMES the side panel is too close and might restrict some airflow
I mean for the design of the 3080 fe cooler
@little osprey yo I hear you contribute to ifixit 
I have laptop that needs new panel, it's not on ifixit tho š
I found a panel for it using its replacement part list, 1366x768 (which would actually fit its Intel HD 3000) for 61 bucks
How do i get rid of the thing in the bottom right
Activate Windows
does that cost money
Buy eBay key for fiver
5 USD or equivalent
Rather 5Ā£ I guess because it's an English slang term I think???
5 dollors on ebay vs 139 dollors from window?
Yeah
ebay is the only way to go retail is crazy expensive
Pls put a comma 
Or u could upgrade if u had windows 7
Actually I think that promotion is over
Potentially, but sometimes you can't use a key from like an OEM computer or something
It theoretically ended in 2016 but it still works
Yeah still works
link?
To wut
the key
@neon condor is your PSU at the top?
the key
@shell wind um there is no key u have to buy
ree
@shell wind go to eBay and search windows 10 key
Hello, Eventually I am going to upgrade my PC to a i7-10700k and a RTX 3080. I Have a 650 watt power supply. Should I upgrade to an 850 or just to 1000w to make sure I don't need to upgrade that again later down the road?
this??
eww no
@little osprey Yeah the PSU is at the top in the sleeper PC I built because I have no where else to mount it.
On those older cases the PSU used to go at the top.
You think so?
I'd be worried about it falling
And it's a big boy 850W
I had to install all 8 PSU screws and not just 4.
But that would defeat the purpose of the sleeper.
I guess
They have some very basic cases for cheap that could still be considered "sleeper"
@little osprey You don't think it will crash at all for not being enough power?
It even has a flobby drive in it still.
ššš
Can i get it by email or its delivery only
But in all seriousness you're not afraid of it one day giving out? And @shell wind it'll probably be by email as it's a code
if im getting a MSI B450-A PRO MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard do i need a bios update
@hazy ridge what cpu?
if they ebay key doesnt work, double check its for the same version of windows 10 you are running
if its the same, just pm the seller
how do i check that
ryzen 5 3600
No, you're good
kk
how do i check
ššššI can't believe this actually worked. I got 32gb ram
whats that
Nope
i dont think so
@viral ore you linked windows 10 pro
ohhh
u owe me 5 bucks
šš
i linked an example, i never told him to actually buy it
just install windows 10 pro ig
Lol sheeple
send me a link to windows 10 pro
I can't believe I'm running 2 different ram card manufacturers and getting 32gb ram
is windows 10 pro worse
No
its it better or i wont notiuce a diffrence
upadte now or download tool now
????
oh, weird, thats not where that link is supposed to take you
download tool now
i guess
also, ebay keys dont work everytime, so if it doesnt work, just message the seller with a screenshot of the failed activation
they will send you another one
@viral ore that link only works if you have a cookie for it
Scammazed
?
Did it work see limiters above
you used the media creation tool to create a bootable usb drive?
and you booted from it
and installed windows 10?
I needed to use usb???
@viral ore thank you mam
oh np
yes, thats how you install windows
how did you install the current version you have right now?
Can I get some help, Iām building a pc and I plugged my sata power cable into the psu and plugged all my drives and my rgb lighting node into it but nothing is working
Everything turns on except for whatever is connected to the sata power cable
its probably ur cable then
hmm
So idk what could have happened when switching over
Well I have extras so Iāll try a different one
I donāt know, it makes no since everything was working like an hour ago
Iāve never gotten shocked or anything like that
Well I just switched cases, I moved everything into a new one
Am I missing something that should be plugged in?
i cant tell in that pic, which cables do u have connected
One sata and one for my gpu
do u have 24-pin power to motherboard
4/8-pin EPS12V power to CPU
6/8-pin power to video card
SATA power to storage devices
CPU fan & case fan power
Power cable to systemās power supply
SATA data to storage
thenn
i have no clue
u have everything
and it was working
everything else is working right
sorry, just got here
but does the psu turn on, fan spin, when you turn it on? and just nothing else?
did a different cable fix it @small osprey ?
can anyone recommend a stress test program to check my thermals?
earlier someone recommended prime95 I think
specifically for prime95, running it with small FFT's
Ya smallfft best fft
earlier someone recommended prime95 I think
@ripe wedge lol someone did say that but Iām dumb and didnāt even know what that meant
Thank you guys

Anyone know a good pc build for 800 dollars or around that raneg
range*
A lsit
list
@little osprey I'm guessing gaming?
yup
Hey guys can anyone help me
I have the td500 case
I was wanting to know can I mount the radiator from my corsair h100i on the front of the case to be behind the front fans and then mount the fans that came with the cpu cooler straight to the top of the case?
How does this build look? Looking to upgrade to it soon https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cqwryk
@prisma stag might need to do more in-depth research, since the front fans use an interesting mounting
with like rubber thingies
@rancid jasper I wouldnt pay $100 for windows 10
ima make a 800$ list for the man
there are other sites you can buy it for cheaper
I didn't
@stoic island If I can somehow get the radiator to mount would it work?
@prisma stag doesn't seem like as big an issue as I thought, take a look here :
https://youtu.be/-iPggUimB4k?t=482
Cooler Master's MasterBox TD500 Mesh case is one of the most interesting we've worked with this year, striking a firm balance within the $100 price-class of high-performance cases. Review within.

@half turtle made a 800$ list as a reference for other things you look at
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sdttx6
@rancid jasper First impression : It's kinda a mess...
OOO mr111 i think since my case has front fans i might just put my cpu cooler on it and make it a push pull system
You could?
but the pin thingies for the bottom fan seems hard to work with if you're trying to also get a radiator on
i only have a 240m so i could mounth on the top 2
Do remember to have tubes down, and that'll work.
ye
im about to do this
prevent bubbles in weird spots
ill send pictures
You've seen the GN video on the AIO tubing orientation right?
no i havent
@rancid jasper can you give me your budget and use case so I can make suggestions and edits?
This video:

A lot of PC builds online (including manufacturer photos & NR200P builds) incorrectly mount AIO liquid coolers, leading to pump noise/whine and early cooler failure.

os i need to orientate my fans on the radiator im putting on to push
I did bios and stuff on new pc and I canāt figure out how to do anything else. How do I exit so I can install windows? I have the product key or memorex dvd but when I go to āplease select boot driveā nothing pops up.
If you want to do push-pull on the rad, you might need to reorient the fans, just check before screwing them on.
@weary bluff On startup, have your usb stick w windows plugged in, and don't get into bios, and it should automatically boot from the usb stick
You can bend the universe to your will, the trees will grow leaves at your command, the sun rising and falling with your word, so you can do back to front cooling if you like to go against the grain š
If I donāt select anything it goes into bios auto
