#

again, this is another example of why people have protested your walmart choice on the servers you have asked on :)

#

keep in mind, i am NOT saying you should not shop at walmart

#

that is 100% your choice

#

as long as you understand the tradeoffs

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

yes I do

#

most likely choosing another store maybe just cheaper budget

#

Remember to upgrade your psu when you upgrade though. 500w will soon become too little

#

yes

#

I’m gonna upgrade every summer or Christmas

#

since I usually focus on school once it’s not summer or Christmas more

#

Same

#

Got 3 more years of HS

#

Kill me

#

well I mean I'm sure senior year won't suck as much

fresh plinth Oct 1, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

can i get some thoughts on this parts list real quick?
im going for something future-proof, good looks, and decent airflow
budget roughly $1500

@fresh plinth Dont really need the tachi, could go with a cheaper 550 like the MSI B550 MAG Tomahawk board, and toss some of that savings, at a better case, or other things

fresh plinth Oct 1, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

ok thanks

foggy hazel Oct 1, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

consider the following

#

you might want to go for a 3700x chip and skip the water cooler

#

and go with a cheaper board

#

and go for a better ssd

#

also, go with 3600 cl16 ram

#

@fresh plinth https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vtzd8M

System Builder

#

have a look at that list for a suggestion

#

yes, that is 8core, and yes, that is 3080

#

and yes, that removes the AIO

#

so you will be using the stock cooler to start

#

but, it keeps is close to the 1500 mark

fresh plinth Oct 1, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

i didnt think you could use the 3080 and still have the rest be decent in a 1500 build

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

you can

#

easily

fresh plinth Oct 1, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

nice

foggy hazel Oct 1, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

the only part i dont like in that list (and that is entirely personal preference) is the case :)

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

Some other cases a lot of people suggest are td500 mesh, meshify c, a lot of phanteks models(p400, p500, p600 etc), corsair 220t, etc

fresh plinth Oct 1, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

the case was just a first pick still not final

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

I'm kind of in Nova's boat with the budget, but mine is more around $1200. I'm also lacking in the ability/knowhow to build my own PC, so was wondering if this is a decent setup. Was looking to upgrade the GPU in a couple years, but was hoping this machine would do enough to handle Ray Tracing and such for the forseeable future.

#

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

Would you be interested in building one

foggy hazel Oct 1, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

compare that list with @fresh plinth's list, just use a 3070 in there instead

#

above is for you @iron flume

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

I sure would if it gets me a better machine! Alright Naed, will do

foggy hazel Oct 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

(the 3070 is 499)

#

mind, it is NOT out yet

#

so if you need it "right this second" its not ideal

#

@vital warren could you keep an eye out? i am turning in again, seagulls have buggered off by now

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

I'll try my best

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

So, if I purchased that list of parts, building a PC is literally putting the pieces together... like there isn't too much more I need to know, right? Besides some of the common things I've seen to not do off YouTube videos? I know I seem like a noob... but those specs are pretty sweet on the machine @fresh plinth posted.

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

Personally, it seemed so scary at first for me

#

and then I started watching youtube videos and got a little hands on with my own old system

#

and it's actually not as hard as you'd think

#

Youtube helped me a lot

#

people like bitwit/linus/jayztwocents etc

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

Hmmm

#

well

#

I built one with my engineering buddy back in '07, but he did most of the research and stuff

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

Mine was built in like 2016 with a bunch of parts that were sitting around in my uncles friends house

#

I knew nothing about computers a few months ago

#

Honestly lurking in some of these chats helped me as well

#

a lot of smart people in here

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

Yea, someone already found my future monitor, only took them a few minutes to post a good one..

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

If you need suggestions on anything, and I mean pretty much anything to do with computers, there's always someone that will help in the appropriate channel

#

that's how I got everyone to help me put together a base list for my next build a month or two ago

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

Sweetness. Well since I was going to buy that prebuild... abut I'd have to wait on the 3070, is there a card that I should purchase instead? Or is the 3070 that worth waiting for?

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

The 3070 is coming out in about two weeks if i remember correctly, and I would say it's worth the wait, as apparently it will have 2080ti performance at a fraction of the prime

#

much better than the 2060 super in the prebuilt

#

you will get way more performance building it

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

I was also going to add the warranty for 3 years on Newegg for, what, $150 or something.

#

So I could potentially just purchase Nova's build (which is really nice)

#

But what is to say something doesn't break/not work in a few months?

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

A lot of parts usually have warranty

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

**doesn't work/break

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

People in here make sure to put the most reliable parts so I don't tend to worry about any issues

#

No power supply explosions here

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

Haha alright

#

well

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

I can dm you a list real quick with similar parts to novas

#

just so you have it there for reference

#

what is the budget again?

iron flume Oct 1, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

sure that'd be great!

#

well, I have been authorized (hehe) to spend $1456, but that included the 3 year warranty

#

so we can stick with that! since I'm already authorized to spend it lol

vital warren Oct 1, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

I'll see what I can do

#

dm you when it's done

wary geode Oct 1, 2020, 1:43 PM

both are good laptops but how much hz does each laptop have

#

and both wil be good for years to come just that the tuf has a stronger processor but you will need to upgrade the ram

hehe yep

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

@stoic island I like the look of these

Alright and if the price was the same for both?

#

Isn't Thermaltake supposed to be a cheap quality brand?

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Legion.

#

more specs

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 1:49 PM

The tuf is actually on sale lol

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

specs tho

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Ehh you mean to send you the full specs? Or the legion because of specs?

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Legion because of specs

#

@little osprey recently, their innovation has been pretty bad, and that's where the reputation for being cheap might've came from, but it's just another company like CM.

I guess the r7 is just slightly faster which doesnt matter that much right?

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

aren't they both 4800h?

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

Ryzen 5 4600h and ryzen 7 4800h

#

The legion has the r5

#

Legion 5-15ARH05(r5 4600h, 16gb, 500gb, rtx 2060, 15.6) - 1195$ vs Asus TUF(R7 4800h, 8gb, 500gb, rtx 2060,15.6) - 1395$?

#

I'd get the tuf

#

(The actual price of the tuf is 1.5k on sale its 1395)

#

Shoot, get the tuf and get 16gb Corsair vengence for it

#

That's what I'd do

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

6c12t is good enough

#

ick

#

I dunno

#

it's 200$ more

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 1:55 PM

Is the 4600h basically the 3600?

#

Spent almost double what it was worth just to upgrade it and make it slightly usable

#

My first laptop was an AMD A4 dual core 1.9ghz

I watched literally every youtube video on how to increase the perfromance on that thing

#

Aight ill go with Legion

@little osprey can I suggest you go with either a 3600 or 3100 for the cpu?

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 3:02 PM

im on budjet

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 3:16 PM

3100 is cheaper than 2600 lol

next kestrel Oct 1, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

200$ for a 2600 is just a bad deal

polar prism Oct 1, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

If you can fit it in your budget, I would recommend trying to get the 3600. It’s not much more expensive but I agree with mr1111 go with a 3100 if you can’t

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

Okay so I want to get a good sized high res monitor to act as a main and my old as a second monitor is there any monitors that fits those requirements that isn’t to expensive

#

?

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 4:27 PM

@little osprey I assume you want 1440p144hz? I can link you a 300$ good one

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

To put simply, any decent 4 legged desk works

#

I could point you towards some like 120$ ikea desks but desks are all personal preference

little osprey Oct 1, 2020, 4:37 PM

True

#

Just a good sized desk

stoic island Oct 1, 2020, 4:37 PM

All depends on your situation really, different rooms look differently and can fit different desks

for ssd idrc as long as it doesnt take 120-7r19879380 years to boot

rustic sandal Oct 1, 2020, 5:00 PM

the SSD is food

#

If you don’t need a ton of storage

#

That’s a really good budget build tbh, you could maybe go w a 1660s tho

muted wasp Oct 1, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

indeed that is a good budget build , However I agree that you should swap to a 1660 Super

#

They are on sale and a better GPU

small osprey Oct 1, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

for ssd i would reccommend team mp34 512gb

#

yeah 1660 super would be a better gpu choice

muted wasp Oct 1, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

was just looking you and if you have a extra 100 for the build. you could get a i5 10th gen cpu at higher end or a 10500 for like another 50 ish

Ah yeah that's not too bad as long as you are comfortable opening it up. Buying RAM after getting a laptop isn't too bad either. FWIW the models you are looking at are the ones I looked at when getting my partner her Lenovo. They all seem like good fits for the use, so I think it comes down to your priorities and cost. I think the HP may have a better screen than the other two iirc, but otherwise I think they're relatively similar @buoyant estuary. Maybe watch a review or two to see if anything like keyboard quality, build quality, etc narrows it down for you

cloud oasis Oct 1, 2020, 5:47 PM

Just buy a laptop

#

upgrading a laptop is so much work

rich void Oct 1, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

upgrading a laptop is so much work
@cloud oasis slapping more ram in isn't if you need it, and while it isn't an option here a lot of companies charge obscene amounts to upgrade the RAM in a laptop when they provide that option

#

Slapping in ram can just be take off the bottom panel, put in ram, close up (probably should also unplug the battery tbf, but just follow instructions for the model)

@full spoke ye, for me it's kinda an issue cuz I usually flash an XOC vBIOS on my GPU while watercooling it, easily 500w - 600w power consumption on the GPU alone if talking about Pascal/Turing and probably Ampere as well. Plus an okay CPU (Im looking for Zen3 CPU), plus rest of system power, plus PSU inefficiencies... Imma be decently close to the overload limit of a meh UPS on load even with AC power from the wall to it.

spiral zealot Oct 1, 2020, 9:50 PM

@agile canopy potentially, it depends on how they have it configured, it might be 4gb soldered and an 8gb stick, or 8gb soldered and a 4gb stick

if it's a 4gb stick, then yeah you can swap it out for an 8gb and get to 16

you can get the free version then install the full software after if you want

wait what no

just use registry editor to "personalize" what free windows doesn't have

ur paying $100 for dark mode and to remove a dumb watermark that can be removed manually

and wallpaper customization ig, but live wallpapers slap harder than static ones imo

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

@obsidian wolf To start off, you need to figure out if it's dimm or sodimm. looks like sodimm to me.

📎 iu.png

#

then, look at the notch

#

here's DDR3 and DDR4 sodimm compared :

📎 iu.png

#

DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 all together for double checking for good measure.

obsidian wolf Oct 2, 2020, 12:52 AM

Ok

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 12:52 AM

and in the end, my conclusion is that it is a DDR3 (204pin) SODIMM stick.

I’m going to send a picture of the ram that is installed right now in the laptop

you can check over it yourself using the visuals I've provided :)

#

Oh :v

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

there are laptops with dimm

#

but if you look at how I guess you can say stubby your ram sticks look

#

I'd say those are sodimm.

So it supposed to read my other memory

Doesn’t it but then when I installed it does not turn on

[Guide] How to setup MSI Afterburner On Screen Display using RTSS

A fair few people have asked me how to setup MSI Afterburner On Screen Display (OSD). I checked this subforum and to my surprise there was no guide on how to do it. So I figured Id make a guide for everybody out there struggling. 1. Downloading and Installing You will need to ...

#

all the fun stuff like fps, fps avg, min fps, max fps, frame time graph, etc

#

all in an overlay :)

excuse me what

which thing did it block

rtss or msi afterburner

@prisma stag I'm actually curious because I have the setup at home and I use malwarebytes, no problems.

I wanna make a build with a 3090 for streaming, editing and gaming. I prefer performance over looks, so I don't care for the look of it, price range is from $2,500-3,000.

Personally i think a 3080 will fit fine for what you need

Build a new pc with these components:
Ryzen7 3800XT, x570 Aorus Elite wifi, 2x8 GB
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 3600 MHz, Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80+ Gold, RTX 2070 Super, crucial p1 1tb.
But after installing all the drivers, the games work for me with low performance and I don't know why.
For example Fornite goes to 60 fps in 1440P and CoD warzone goes to 30 fps
in 1440P.
I wanted to ask for help to find out what could be affecting the performance of the video card.

#

Could someone help me please?

analog hearth Oct 2, 2020, 1:30 PM

Turn down the settings?

#

My 2080 Super can only handle around 60fps at maxed in 1440p

zealous venture Oct 2, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

with low settings goes 60 fps

analog hearth Oct 2, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Do you have v-sync turned off and do you have your monitor set to it’s max refresh rate?

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

@zealous venture I say you manually check the settings, both fortnite and warzone have rendering settings where you would render at 4k and downscale onto 1440p

#

Because GPU usage looks correct, being pinned from 90-99%

zealous venture Oct 2, 2020, 1:34 PM

LOW SETTINGS

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 1:36 PM

what about not using presets :P

and also

the menu is supposed to frame lock to 60fps I'm pretty damn sure

zealous venture Oct 2, 2020, 1:38 PM

frame rate limit : unlimited

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 1:38 PM

go into game/match

the menu is hard-coded to be frame locked to 60fps

zealous venture Oct 2, 2020, 1:38 PM

look the picture

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Yes, I'm 99% sure the menu is locked to 60fps, doesn't matter what your in game frame max is.

zealous venture Oct 2, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

but warzone goes 30fps

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 1:39 PM

Then go into warzone, check settings, and go into a game.

I am thinking of a future build, and found a motherboard I would think is perfect; But I didn't know if I would need the processor to come out first to buy a board that supported it.

I would wait to buy everything all together

If you get deals, it can sometimes pay to buy slowly. Esp if you are smart

ionic veldt Oct 2, 2020, 5:56 PM

Also, if anyone would happen to know; Would the corsair sp 120 fans be sufficient for a massive 60mm thick radiator, or would I need to run a push pull config for it?

Like for my sister's build, I got everything but the CPU and GPU on deals and waited for RTX 3000 and R5000

I've built a few pcs before, and have alot of the parts available already is why. But i'm doing water cooling for the first time and I kinda want to go all out with it

potent prairie Oct 2, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

If you're going all out, why not a push pull 🙂

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

@potent prairie gotta mention if you're able to test the parts to make sure they're not dead

potent prairie Oct 2, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

True

#

You do have RMA tho

#

If you can't see the front ones I'd get something like noctua for them and the pretty ones for the back

ionic veldt Oct 2, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

I will be fine doing a push pull if it comes down to it, I have the Lian li 011D XL, so I think it would fit fine. But I'd rather do a normal pull config if that is sufficient. Though, I am of course going to buy other fans should that not be the case lol

#

Mainly for aesthetic reasons, I prefer just the 3 fans at the bottom

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 6:00 PM

NOCTUA

#

RMA is just annoying

potent prairie Oct 2, 2020, 6:00 PM

Sometimes. Sometimes you get a brand new $500 PSU with cables when you bought an beat up on without any accessories on eBay for $100 🙂

NOCTUA . I wish they'd team up w/ Corsair for some RGB stuff tho

stoic island Oct 2, 2020, 6:01 PM

I don't tbh

#

I wish they work in more chromax stuff tho

potent prairie Oct 2, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

I'm a sucker for RGB (to a point)

ionic veldt Oct 2, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

I'm partially choosing alot of my parts due to RGB compatibility;

#

I know the case is supposed to be compatible with Asus Aurasync, and Asus has a partnership with corsair.

potent prairie Oct 2, 2020, 6:03 PM

Um.. don't count on that working
