Asus more like Asoup ahaha

ripe wedge
#

I want to get the x570 gigabyte ultra and thats around the same price so idk šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

stoic island
#

...

#

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

ripe wedge
#

plus putting it into a cheap case

stoic island
#

......

ripe wedge
#

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

foggy hazel
#

@marsh kiln a suggestion. Please read the persons request IF you are offering them a list

stoic island
#

Just telling you what is wrong with the list.

foggy hazel
#

its 3400 AUD

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel more about 4400aud considering 3080 pricing

foggy hazel
#

no

#

that is with a 3080

#

look at the list @stoic island

stoic island
#

+700$ usd at the bottom

foggy hazel
#

its only 1300-ish for the cheapest

#

ignore the usd part

stoic island
#

Oh you slapped in a new one

foggy hazel
#

that was me that had not removed the custom :)

stoic island
#

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

foggy hazel
#

@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

stoic island
#

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..

foggy hazel
#

focus on understanding the logic behind actual part selection, then worry about the look of things after :)

stoic island
#

Does it really tho? :P

foggy hazel
#

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

stoic island
#

Should you what?

#

Keep going? Yea :)

foggy hazel
#

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?

foggy hazel
stoic island
#

CPU would also be subject to change depending on when you buy and AMD's release

balmy girder
#

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

stoic island
#

Uhh

#

@balmy girder 60hz monitor is a pretty bad experience nowadays

balmy girder
#

What should I look for?

stoic island
#

144hz

balmy girder
#

Ok

stoic island
#

That's why the monitors we linked you were usually all 144hz

balmy girder
#

Ahh

stoic island
#

A bit more like it.

balmy girder
#

Is the keyboard and mouse good?

grim yew
#

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

wary geode
#

There’s nicer cases for under 90 with rgb

#

The 3200g unless you upgrade later don’t get it

#

I would recommend to get a 3100 and b550 board

grim yew
#

im also on a pretty low budget

wary geode
#

Whats the budget and you need those parts?

#

Like cpu ram motherboard

#

And such

#

Whats the budget i can make a good pc

grim yew
#

470....

wary geode
#

Ez

grim yew
#

ive been out of the game for a little and lost my touch... 😩

stoic island
#

@grim yew That SSD is dramless, usually cheapest good 2.5in ssd with dram is Team Vulcan

wary geode
#

Yeah I got it mr111

grim yew
#

i have been looking at vulcan

#

i also like them too.

stoic island
#

Ram also can be cheaper

#

Aegis 3200c16 2x8gb was like 53$ last I looked

grim yew
#

i can never finmd the deals....

#

find*

wary geode
#

Si

stoic island
#

I assume he'll get you a list rq

summer pasture
#

Should i upgrade my rx570?

grim yew
#

nah

#

lol

summer pasture
#

Ok

stoic island
#

unless you have money to invest

wary geode
#

@stoic island can’t squeeze a 3100 and 570

#

Unless bstock

stoic island
#

in 470$?

wary geode
#

I mean I’m trying get rgb for em

summer pasture
#

I dont play open world or graphical games usually

grim yew
#

rgb is cool but not needed bud lol

stoic island
#

that's 1 thing I don't do xD

grim yew
#

if it helps

wary geode
#

@stoic island

#

I can decrease the ssd

#

But I think he wants 500gb

#

Sk hynix has some cheap ssd

grim yew
#

i cant afford a gfx card atm...... thats the hard part

stoic island
#

so 470$ total build?

wary geode
#

I mean

grim yew
#

id have 700 to do a build with but i gotta pay my electric bill....

wary geode
#

9100f would work

stoic island
#

ah

wary geode
#

Who needs electricity

grim yew
#

stupid bills

wary geode
#

Plug it into a school

stoic island
#

or are there any good b stock deals rn?

grim yew
#

ive been looking

#

oh and i forgot shipping doesnt apply to me when i buy at newegg ā¤ļø

#

i work there

stoic island
#

:)

wary geode
#

Ew a520

#

Fair enough it works mr1111

stoic island
#

it works :P

viral ore
#

focus g mini is 40 dollars btw

stoic island
#

oh right

#

thought it was 35$?

viral ore
#

ship

#

tax

stoic island
#

right

#

could slap in a b450m ds3h if you're iffy about a520

viral ore
#

what about the 9100f? it's a pretty cheap cpu

stoic island
#

yea both are options

#

I like 3100 for dat SMT

#

but 9100f works just fine for gaming

viral ore
#

it's like 35 dollars cheaper

wary geode
#

Nah x570

stoic island
#

I see it as double the threads so I personally think it's worth it

viral ore
#

oof, it's not available at wegg tho

wary geode
#

Isn’t the 9100f 1% better than the 3600 in gaming

stoic island
#

don't think so

#

esp not with lowered ram speeds

viral ore
#

a hyperthread averages about a quarter the power of a real thread

#

so it's more like 5 threads vs 4 threads

wary geode
#

Yeah nevermind

stoic island
#

ub

viral ore
#

eww

stoic island
#

ew

wary geode
#

I don’t think the website does ram clock

#

Yeah lol

viral ore
#

get that ub cringe outta here

stoic island
#

GN did testing with 10100f vs 3300x a bit ago iirc

#

and 10100f looked promising, until they did 2666mhz

viral ore
#

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

wary geode
#

Imma run test with 9100f, 3100, 2700 with the 3070 soon

#

Well when it comes out

viral ore
#

so the whole ram speed argument is mostly theoretical, and doesn't really apply to a real world situation

wary geode
#

It’s going to be a long 4 days of waiting and my teachers being *** confused

stoic island
#

I believe it still would limit the CPU, despite a worse GPU.

viral ore
#

where if a person is getting the 10100, you better believe they're only getting a sub 160 dollar gpu

stoic island
#

Ram isn't really a bottleneck you only reach with high performance

#

lower speed ram affects framerates even on lower end GPUs

viral ore
#

think cost effectiveness. cheaper cpu, cheaper ram, 5-10 less fps

#

that's a worthy trade-off imo

foggy hazel
#

other side of the coin is upgradeability further down the line

stoic island
#

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.

viral ore
#

it's penny pinching, lol

stoic island
#

yea tbh all of this is

viral ore
#

9100f comes with stock cooler right?

stoic island
#

I think it has the crappy one

viral ore
#

I know the 10100 doesnt

grim yew
#

yuck

stoic island
viral ore
#

whoo!

foggy hazel
#

@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

grim yew
#

thats what im going for!

foggy hazel
#

i recommend shinguards if you plan on using it at work

grim yew
#

i work from home lol

foggy hazel
#

even more shinguards then

#

considering you are the only soft target around then :P

grim yew
#

ill go get catchers gear

stoic island
#

Keep your pets at least 2 rooms away from it.

viral ore
#

I assume the tforce vulcan has either a proper cache or HMB

#

I know the other cheaper ones dont

stoic island
#

it has dram

viral ore
#

nice

stoic island
#

I never recommend drives without dram or hmb :P

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 ?

P.S
tried connecting my monitor to another pc but it works fine so the monitor isnt the problem,

3. it only flickers if the monitor is higher than 60hz
i hope someone can help. thanks!

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

severe panther
#

alr thx

little osprey
#

Very slowly

#

@severe panther when he means slow, that's like next year

foggy hazel
#

nah, this year @little osprey

grim yew
#

Hey do you guys think getting anything used would be good such as motherbaord?

little osprey
#

depends

#

do you have buyer protection?

foggy hazel
#

@grim yew how much value do you put into warranty?

grim yew
#

none really tbh

foggy hazel
#

then go nuts

grim yew
#

i dont have that money like that i wish

#

working at newegg i have buyer protection.

foggy hazel
#

perhaps see if you can hit up @austere condor for a chat

grim yew
#

is he selling anything?

foggy hazel
#

:)

#

i think it will become very clear why he is the one you should have a chat with :)

stoic island
#

Take a look at the "total cost" he sometimes puts with the picture too :)

grim yew
#

i found him lol

little osprey
#

I wish i could find the deals he does

foggy hazel
#

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)

grim yew

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?

@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 😦

#

2600 stock cooler is better than that thermaltake one

grim yew
#

is it really?

viral ore
#

yeah

grim yew
#

also i do need igpu

viral ore
#

"better" because they are basically the same, but one of them costs 20 dollars less headpoke

grim yew
#

oh i thought you were saying rpm or what not lol

deep skiff
#

you dont need an igpu if you have a discrete gpu like the 1650 super

winged jackal
#

AMD stock coolers are solid.

viral ore
#

wait, so why both an iGPU and dGPU?

grim yew
#

im on a $470 budget tho

viral ore
#

using both as monitor outputs on windows 10 is annoying as hell

winged jackal
#

I have the Wraith Prisim RGB with my 3900x and it's great

deep skiff
#

whats with the psu tho? pretty overkill

winged jackal
#

i mean it makes sense for upgradeablitiy

I can't spell

grim yew
#

lol

little osprey
#

ig

small osprey
#

Is the wraith spire cooler good enough or should i get another one

deep skiff
#

ya but even a solid 650 or 750w would be cheaper, a good 650w is like 40 less

little osprey
#

good

#

if ur not gonna oc alot

winged jackal
#

i would recommend the 750w 80+ Golds usually

#

10yr warranty

grim yew
#

lgolds are the best for everything in my opinion

#

oh god...

#

mine came with one

That's my build rn. Working well for me under 2000.

viral ore
#

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

winged jackal
#

I agree, and that system has a low estimated wattage so 500w should be fine

#

@viral ore

viral ore
#

that + tax should be under 470

Not bad!

@stoic island help him im on molbile

is it a good idea to put a cpu fan under the gpu

#

not cpu fan

little leaf

?

cloud oasis

case fan under the gpu

#

So it cools better

little leaf
#

So you want to out a fan

#

Sorry

cloud oasis
#

put fan under gpu to help cool

little leaf
#

You want another output or input?

#

Is it an 3080fe?

cloud oasis
#

yea

little osprey
#

wouldnt it be output

little leaf

It might help

But just having the fromt fans should be fine

Along with an exhaust

cloud oasis

I saw a vid in jayz2cents

he put a fan under the gpu

And it went to like

little leaf

I mean I would t spend money on it

cloud oasis

45-55c

little leaf

But if you wanted

cloud oasis

There would be no issue right

just plug fan into mobo

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

granite imp
#

Question

desert gulch
#

Just PC?

#

No peripherals or monitor?

junior crescent
#

Just pc

granite imp
#

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 it’s okay

#

Well Nevermind

#

The 8 pin won’t go into the gpu

foggy hazel
#

Does it matter which is plugged into my gpu and which is in my psu? <- yes, this matters quite a LOT :)

granite imp
#

Well good thing it’s idiot proof

foggy hazel
#

which is why it is keyed to NOT allow you to plug in the wrong way

#

aye

granite imp
#

Is it made like this so I can plug power into two pcie cards at once?

foggy hazel
#

yes

granite imp
#

I r techie

desert gulch
#

Yes

#

Or so you can power a more hungry gpu

prisma stag
granite imp
#

Where can I get a nice clean looking cable?

desert gulch
#

Cable mod extensions

foggy hazel
#

also, if you route up through that cable hole below your GPU, it wont be as bad looking

desert gulch
#

You can find them on amazon or wherever

#

Yes

granite imp
#

The extra cable still sticks out

desert gulch
#

You can like zip tie ir to the main cable

Droq#6686 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

granite imp
#

I’m picky*

desert gulch
#

No bad words lol

granite imp
#

This is my first ever build did in a thermaltake v200. Did my best. Ended up with 3 different brand fans inside and rgb didn’t 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, wasn’t bad, they took it out of context

foggy hazel
#

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

desert gulch
#

You could use Bluetooth pcie cables lol

#

I wish they made those

granite imp
#

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 weren’t using modular psu. But that was the biggest pain in my butt, not doing that this time

brittle spindle
#

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?

granite imp
#

I can plug a fan into cpu_opt right?

desert gulch
#

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

ripe wedge
#

im glad pcs are idiot proof tbh

granite imp
foggy hazel
#

those are generally put in BEFORE you put the board in place @granite imp

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?

foggy hazel
#

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

Does my mobo have a bunch of foreign words on it?

if everything works? yes

#

could i use a laptop hard drive in a desktop?

#

or are they different types

foggy hazel
#

they are just smaller, but generally same connector

weary bluff
#

what is the cable called with the 3 pins labeled "gigabyte" and the other "asrock, asus, msi"

#

i believe it controls the aura

granite imp
#

Huh?

#

Got a pic?

proud musk
#

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.

granite imp
#

I’ve got the b450 rog strix and technically it’s 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.

proud musk
#

Thank you I'll look into that.

granite imp
olive kraken
#

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

granite imp
#

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.

little leaf
#

Thats alot of gpu sag

olive kraken
#

The fans usually will tell u how much power they'll use in description. So you can use that to know

granite imp
#

Thats alot of gpu sag
@little leaf it’s a little saggy for sure but doesn’t have any flex or wiggle

olive kraken
#

If it works, it works am I right

little leaf
#

I mean

#

Thats pretty saggy imo

granite imp
#

Thats pretty saggy imo
@little leaf think it’s mostly the angle of the shot

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

foggy hazel
#

already answered you yesterday :)

hazy ridge
#

why should i get an ssd AND a hdd

#

what does an ssd do better then an hdd and when is it usefull

foggy hazel
#

@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

granite imp
foggy hazel
#

read the manual @granite imp

weary bluff
#

So my aio works with the 3 pin f in cpu_opt but the rgb doesn’t turn on. I don’t 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

foggy hazel
#

read your manual @weary bluff

weary bluff
foggy hazel
#

it should be covered there

granite imp
#

Your looking for a 4 pin header usually labeled rgb header

vocal hare
#

@glacial cove I mean probably not sure if it'll run well but MW wasn't that bad to run

granite imp
#

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 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

foggy hazel
#

yes

#

and i know, it might actually make you smarter too

granite imp
#

I’ll tell you why I can’t even hear this thing if I tried right now, sitting at 41c idle and the fans are barely going

foggy hazel
#

i know, i know, the horror!

#

the cooler manual should have the info, there is not only the mainboard manual :)

vocal hare
#

@weary bluff ayy mobo bros

weary bluff
#

As I said earlier, it’s connected to led_c2

#

Noice yrag

foggy hazel
#

@weary bluff then double and triple check your connections

weary bluff
#

I quintuple checked

granite imp
#

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

weary bluff
#

The rgb fans work fine just the aio block rgb won’t turn on

#

Brb Ima try something

granite imp
#

Hmmm

weary bluff
#

Dang I’m 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

granite imp
#

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

#

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 didn’t have my cpu 8 pin power cable plugged in

#

@foggy hazel how does that work thoe do i HAVE to put my games on my ssd to have a use?

prisma stag
#

@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.

hazy ridge
#

whats another use/ uses for it thoe @prisma stag

wheat summit
wary tundra
#

@sour fox whats your specs

prisma stag
#

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.

hazy ridge
#

so if i have an ssd will my pc boot up faster to?

prisma stag
#

Yes is you have your os installed to your ssd.

hazy ridge
#

OHHH ok so does that mean my os sytems boot faster ex. task manager

prisma stag

#

Currently temp loop and gpu. 8700k/ 3600mhz ram/ 250gb m.2 nvme/ 1tb sata m.2/ 750w thermaltake psu/ corsair 4000x/ ek fluid gaming custom loop

#

Asus z370-i mobo

hazy ridge
#

so pretty much SSD (lamborghini) vs HDD (school bus)

prisma stag
#

Yes both serve the same purpose but one is faster than the other (in a nutshell)

hazy ridge
#

ok

#

is the kingston a400 a good ssd for a budget

hazy ridge
#

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

prisma stag
#

the 512gb is 68$

#

which a400 are you looking at

im only looking for boot up times

Zallo, why do you want two GPU? Usually it’s not worth the cost, or energy for the gain.

ripe wedge
#

sli is dead

lost tundra
#

not if u get two 3090's lmao

#

it only makes sense for workstations

#

not for gaming

ripe wedge
#

yea but for gaming its dead

lost tundra
#

yea but gaming isnt everything

night storm
#

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.

lost tundra
#

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

night storm
#

If he can afford two 3090 he wouldn’t be running a b450 lol

lost tundra
#

yeh i just noticed

#

ya need b550 for that

night storm
#

So much speculation it’s making my head hurt

lost tundra
#

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 kekw

tawny rover
#

Alr thanks

ashen needle
#

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?

little leaf
#

@ashen needle with this budget you can get a 3070

#

@ashen needle

ashen needle
#

true, I'll tell them to wait

#

I was thinking that but I don't know what the stock is gonna be for it

little leaf
#

Just show him the list

ashen needle
#

if it's gonna get yeeted like the 3080/90's stock did

#

I will yeah

little leaf
#

And if he cant wait grt a 2070s

#

Or 2080s used

ashen needle
#

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

little leaf
#

Yes

ashen needle
#

and yeah, will do

#

ah, sure thing

little leaf
#

650 is fine

ashen needle
#

gotcha

little leaf
#

It can even be done with 550

ashen needle
#

oh dang

stoic island
#

Yes

little leaf
#

Even 450

stoic island
#

Look at TDPs themselves, not just "reccomended psu"

can I see your build?

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.

foggy hazel
#

you are the one that decides when you want to build @cold sorrel

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.

prisma stag
#

Does the 3080 need extra bracing?

lime forge
#

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

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?

@neon condor that's so cringy for me

rancid jasper
#

You think so?

little osprey
#

I'd be worried about it falling

neon condor

It actually bends the case a bit.

Because it's old metal

Nope

And it's a big boy 850W

little osprey

I'm goodšŸ˜‚

I'd get a new $60 case

I had to install all 8 PSU screws and not just 4.

#

But that would defeat the purpose of the sleeper.

little osprey

I guess

#

They have some very basic cases for cheap that could still be considered "sleeper"

rancid jasper
#

@little osprey You don't think it will crash at all for not being enough power?

little osprey
#

Nah

If you want more than 650 to be safe, go 750

Can I get some help, I’m 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

small osprey
#

its probably ur cable then

little osprey
#

And I used the same one in my old pc today and it was fine

#

Same psu too

small osprey
#

hmm

little osprey
#

So idk what could have happened when switching over

small osprey
#

idk either

#

its probably ur cable if everything else turns on

little osprey
#

Well I have extras so I’ll try a different one

small osprey
#

try that

#

if it still doesnt work then either ur drives or psu r broken

little osprey
#

I don’t know, it makes no since everything was working like an hour ago

#

I’ve never gotten shocked or anything like that

yeah that doesnt make much sense

i cant tell in that pic, which cables do u have connected

CPU fan & case fan power
Power cable to system’s power supply
SATA data to storage

and it was working

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?

@prisma stag might need to do more in-depth research, since the front fans use an interesting mounting

#

with like rubber thingies

ripe wedge
#

@rancid jasper I wouldnt pay $100 for windows 10

stoic island
#

ima make a 800$ list for the man

ripe wedge
#

there are other sites you can buy it for cheaper

rancid jasper
#

I didn't

prisma stag
#

@stoic island If I can somehow get the radiator to mount would it work?

stoic island
#

@rancid jasper First impression : It's kinda a mess...

prisma stag
#

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

stoic island
#

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

prisma stag
#

i only have a 240m so i could mounth on the top 2

stoic island
#

Do remember to have tubes down, and that'll work.

prisma stag
#

tubes down?

#

prevent air bubbles?

stoic island
#

ye

prisma stag
#

im about to do this

stoic island
#

prevent bubbles in weird spots

prisma stag
#

ill send pictures

stoic island
#

You've seen the GN video on the AIO tubing orientation right?

prisma stag
#

no i havent

stoic island
#

@rancid jasper can you give me your budget and use case so I can make suggestions and edits?

prisma stag
#

stupid question

#

but are my front fans pushing air out of sytem or pullin air in?

stoic island
#

Usually, pulling in

#

In TD500 mesh, pulling in.

prisma stag
#

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 can’t 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 ā€œplease select boot driveā€ nothing pops up.

stoic island
#

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 šŸ˜Ž

#

If I don’t select anything it goes into bios auto

stoic island
#

wut

#

Weird

#

There also usually is a "boot override" or something like that in BIOS
