#

Anyways about the mobo

desert gulch Oct 3, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Fred will you be editing and stuff alot?

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

i will stick to the cpu and cooler, but is there anything you can tell me about the mobo?

#

ryan, rarely

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

There r z490 boards with wifi for 200

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

maybe stream sometimes

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

300 is extremely overpriced for a mobo

desert gulch Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Ok good

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

if i use ethernet, what does the wifi mean?

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Wait ur using ethernet?

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

correct

#

always

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Then why do u have a wifi board

desert gulch Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Was gonna say if you want a workstation pc for editing and cad alot, gotta go amd

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

i dont?

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Bruh it says wifi 6

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

right ryan

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

And otherwise it wouldnt cost 300

still roostBOT Oct 3, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

PureFred#4210 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

ah sh*t they put it at the end 🤣

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

There r z490 boards that r good for around 150

#

Idk much about intel boards tho

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

on pc part picker it doesnt say the words wifi anywhere

small osprey Oct 3, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Welll um then u got the wrong model

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

only at the very end it said that

#

soi can get a meg z490 lga1200 non wifi right

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Unify doesn't have a model without afaik

#

Unify is an extremely expensive mobo anyways, why do you want one?

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

guys im very new to motherboards i just looked over it

#

please educate me on motherboards if you would like

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Gigabyte z490 gaming x is about the price range you should be looking at

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

i play ethernet, so no need for wifi

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Like ~160$ z490 boards.

desert gulch Oct 3, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Mr1 is very big brain in mobos

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

mr1111 i did see that one yesterday

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

No I'm smol brain

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

this one is good with i7-10700k right?

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Yes

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

and its lan

#

📎 unknown.png

#

looks better

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

What's the pricing rn

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

comes out to 630

#

fan 90, mobo 180, cpu 360

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Hmm

#

180$ for it is a bit much for x570 gaming x

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

uh huh

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Can you check pricing on msi z490-a I think it was

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

sure

#

gigabyte

#

or my old one?

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

I expect gaming x around 150-160$

#

So would z490-a

#

And maybe an Asus z490-p

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

the cheapest one is 116 but is sued

#

used

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

I'm on mobile rn

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

thats fine

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

I'll check stuff later

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

sure, but i looked at diff sellers and the cheapest is 170 instead of 180

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

It's really damn hard to try to remember boards at a price without checking prices

lunar cloud Oct 3, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

lol

#

so i should wait till u get on pc?

desert gulch Oct 3, 2020, 5:48 PM

@pliant wren $20 more for CL16 last time I checked RAM prices if you would like that

pliant wren Oct 3, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

What do you mean @rustic sandal

rustic sandal Oct 3, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

your ram timing is cl18, cl16 is faster

pliant wren Oct 3, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

@foggy hazel Im planning to build within the next three months

rustic sandal Oct 3, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

And not too much more expensive for 2x16

pliant wren Oct 3, 2020, 7:12 PM

Yw!

agile bear Oct 3, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Y?

stoic island Oct 3, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

I agree with wait for GPU prices

#

but what if you got stuff DoA?

#

and then 3 months later you can't return it for something better

agile bear Oct 3, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

tru

foggy hazel Oct 3, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

buy ram cooler psu and storage now and wait for platform and gpu to go down in price or a better part comes <- this is a VERY bad idea imo

#

save your money, wait.

#

prices are not going up

zinc nacelle Oct 3, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

Do you think buying half of the parts a month between will give you enough time before you can return

foggy hazel Oct 3, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

why risk it? <- for you @zinc nacelle

zinc nacelle Oct 3, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

For me it's cuz my parent doesn't wanna drop 1k all at once, they prefer me getting it little by little

foggy hazel Oct 3, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

tell them that buying a car bit by bit is a bad idea

#

its the same for a computer

zinc nacelle Oct 3, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

I wanna see if they'll let me get them all at once but idk how return policies usually work

foggy hazel Oct 3, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

depends on the vendor/seller

Looks pretty good to me. Any reason why you’re going 3600 and a b450? Nothing wrong with that but you could probably get b550 for a similar price

cursive wharf Oct 4, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

32gb RAM? Doesnt really seem like a workstation build tbh, so dont see the need for it

polar prism Oct 4, 2020, 12:08 AM

Price is good so I didn’t question it. Might be good for Minecraft with mods and stuff but idk

cursive wharf Oct 4, 2020, 12:11 AM

MC with mods doesnt need 16gb of RAM, let alone 32gb

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

212 evo not great

#

Depends on the mods hei

#

FTB for me ate like 12gb of ram, more intensive mods can def take more

cursive wharf Oct 4, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

MC just eats as much as it wants. Allocate 64gb and it'll take it

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

Yes

#

I'm referring to in-game utilization

#

but anyways

#

it is weird setup

outer heart Oct 4, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

went with 450 cause of cheap + wifi
mix of school and game stuff so i didn’t see why not to go 32 gb ram

what kind of school stuff?

#

auto CAD?

outer heart Oct 4, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

3d design, many documents at once with google meet

#

and msfs

cursive wharf Oct 4, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

"3d design" isnt that specific. Some 3d design things is perfectly fine on 16gb of RAM and some would really like 32gb

#

I also wouldnt game and have work stuff running at once usually

save money on parts and put it elsewhere in the build

ide like to keep the price around 1500 usd

System Builder

little osprey Oct 4, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

im guessing the answer is yes but would a i7 10700k and a 2070 super be good for 1440p?

#

Depends on the game
Should be ok for most tho
At this point I would wait for a 3070 tho, much better value

#

true but unless they really improve the launch i dont see the point

#

i mean im buying all the parts at about the end of the month so i guess it works

ripe wedge Oct 4, 2020, 6:01 AM

@little osprey im going the same route

prolly going to get a 10700K unless zen 3 is way better

is this a homemade list or something you copied from somewhere @junior crescent ?

junior crescent Oct 4, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

homemade

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

its a fairly unbalanced build

#

cpu: should be 3700x

#

ram, should be 3600 cl16

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

It would run. But, for a streaming rig 3700x is the choice.

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

ssd, should be something more sensible fx, sn750/mp34-ish

#

and iirc, that psu is not exactly good

#

but i would have to go look it up to verify

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

Its serviceable. Its not a PSU to go bragging about but it probably wont burn the pc up.

#

@junior crescent What kind of budget do you have?

junior crescent Oct 4, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

2600 aud

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

@junior crescent Id go for something like this

#

Way more balanced

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

and a dead end for upgrades

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

What do you mean a dead end for upgrades?

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

chipset wise on mainboard

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

Okay. By the time a 10700k is due for an upgrade new stuff requiring new boards will be out anyway so eh. Id say thats a solid several years without an upgrade

#

But a solid point the board and socket choice lock you in for one more generation max

#

That being said my main pc is LGA 1200 and im not regretting it.

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

depending on when the system will be built. zen3 might be relevant

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

^

#

Always a consideration

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

4 more days and we know a fair deal more

jade flame Oct 4, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

I recently gave up my 3600, 1080 rig for a 10600k 1080ti combo so im stuck on 1200 for a minute

#

Might pick up a 3070 if they actually exist.

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/gb6XsX @junior crescent another suggestion. Keep in mind, that price is the MSRP for Australia for the 3080

System Builder

#

but ideally, i would strongly suggest you wait a bit to buy anything :)

marsh adder Oct 4, 2020, 10:47 AM

I'm getting a pretty noticeable 50Hz hum coming from my PC (not the speakers). I'm in Europe, where AC is 50Hz. Is there any way I could try to minimize this?

#

I'm not sure where it's coming from, but the PSU does already have some pretty bad coil whine so I'm keeping it as a prime suspect.

#

Problem is, I don't have any other PSUs I could test and this one is way out of warranty + purchased in the US.

little osprey Oct 4, 2020, 2:03 PM

@foggy hazel so you're saying it's a bad idea to get anything intel right now? Bc my pc they're building is gonna have that

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 2:25 PM

@knotty nacelle I'd suggest you swap the SSD over for a Mp34, 212evo is kinda bad for the price, either use the stock cooler, or something like gammaxx400 for 25$.

#

I'd also reccomend the Coolermaster td500 mesh if you want rgb

knotty nacelle Oct 4, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Does the gammaxx have rgb? I want it to look smexy

#

What about fans?

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 2:26 PM

Gammaxx gt does, not sure about pricing rn. The stock cooler on 3700x has rgb lol

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 2:31 PM

@little osprey considering that we have a cpu launch event in 4 days, it would seem illogical to not wait (if you can)

knotty nacelle Oct 4, 2020, 2:34 PM

Gonna keep my options open on the cooler bc the gammaxx fans are ugly with rgb lmao , I’m probably going to look at a couple reviews and find maybe some good rgb fans @stoic island

how do you check cpu temps?

Well r u amd or intel

750w probably is much more than I need but I'm not sure about ryzen 3600

calm crypt Oct 4, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

The xt won’t get u much more performance just higher clock speeds and a little more over locking ability if you plan on overclocking the 3600 you’ll be in a similar place. It’s def worth it to lose that for a 3080 imo if you can’t seem to grab one even a used 2080ti is better than a 2070s

#

@dreamy harbor

dreamy harbor Oct 4, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

thanks @calm crypt. I already bought the gpu so its late anyways. I was planning to get 3070 which if I'm not wrong almost as good as 2080ti. But computer components gets expensive as days passes so I wanted to get immediately and bought that gpu which I think I will be fine for at least 2-3 years. But I'm still not sure about cpu 3600 also looks same

jagged ember Oct 4, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

Yeah I have no complaints about the build

#

The 3600 is a good processor

#

6 cores and 12 threads

#

At a decent price

#

Unless you're constantly running cpu intensive tasks that require many cores, it should suffice for general use

@dreamy harbor yea I gotchu if u already have the gpu o well it’s still a solid performer, and yea the 3079 should be great like the 2080ti supposedly so yea I should be good imo I would get the 750w PSU bc of the 3070

jagged ember Oct 4, 2020, 4:14 PM

It's plenty for gaming, workstation and video editing

Some code benefit more from higher single core performance but that's out of my area of expertise

calm crypt Oct 4, 2020, 4:17 PM

Yea most of the time ur better off running that through ur gpu actually

So with the 2070s it’ll be fine

oh, gaming, schoolwork, and some light video editing. i play (too much) cities skylines, gta5, csgo, minecraft, and rainbow six. i mainly just wanted to focus on 1080p gaming. my budget would likely be around $900-1000. i'm mainly looking at small form factor because i have a small amount of space to store my components in

So, another question for you, when are you planning to buy and build?

System Builder

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

@stoic island well, i'm looking to buy and build as soon as possible (which i hope isnt a big deal :p )

#

i understand with new drops coming out

#

but im not interested in 30 series as it is right now

#

also zen 3 launch

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Can you at least wait 3 days for the AMD announcement? Chances are, you won't be able to get a next gen chip, but it could mean lotta panic selling

#

Why are you not interested in Zen 3 launch?

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

maybe that’s a bit too soon to say haha

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

(for some reason, there's always a misconception of newer = more expensive when new generation has products at the same price ranges as old)

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

You make a good point with panic selling

#

at least i haven’t been too interested in 30 series because of what resolution i play in and it would be a tad of a waste

#

but i reckon i could wait a few days

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

At 1080p it would be especially helpful with becoming more CPU bound than higher resolutions, and AMD leaks claiming up to 25% boost in single core perf.

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

oh, i see

#

25% boost?

#

ooh

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

Leaks are not confirmed, and always need to be taken with a pretty big grain of salt

#

But it shows you why you should at least keep an eye out :)

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

i must’ve totally forgotten that they were announcing new chips i was just thinking about their rx announcements

#

yeah i should peel an eye

#

so you don’t think there would be much difference in day to day utilization with gen 3 nvme vs gen 4?

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

There's literally none in usual day to day

#

Think about it

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:50 PM

@late stone cable routing = overrated

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

Who needs cable management >:)

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

in SSF systems, its a question of: Does it fit?

#

not a question of: oh, my EPS cable must be 1mm to the right

stoic island Oct 4, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

(case lists 150mm psu length, the BR500 I slapped into list is 140mm long)

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

i reckon with itx cable routing isn’t much of a deal

#

i mean not to the extremes that you see with aesthetic based builds

foggy hazel Oct 4, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

very very few ITX builds in SSF cases care about cable routing beyond the "dont jam it in a fan" part of it

#

and to double answer what Mr1111 said about pci3vs4 for SSD'. Yes, a benchmark will show a difference. But you are going to be quite hard pressed to notice anything in your daily use of the system

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 10:30 PM

what platform?

ripe wedge Oct 4, 2020, 10:31 PM

id say lower end ryzen 5 3600, higher end 3700x (for content creators), i7 10700K for max gaming performance

amd ryzen is about to release zen 3 so it would be worth waiting on announcement

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Wv32V @little osprey Id say something like a gtx 1650 super should hold you off for awhile but it depends on the type of games you play. if you play a bit more demanding then maybe move up to a 1660 super

#

then the 3700x is a place holder for zen 3 for now I guess

night storm Oct 4, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Why not get the EVGA and utilize the step up program

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

i have 1650s right now

night storm Oct 4, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

By the time you get to the top of step up program you will probably have saved up the difference

#

Instead of wasting money. The amount you pay for the card goes towards the upgrade and you only pay the difference

ripe wedge Oct 4, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

true I just chose the gigabyte one cuz they make good coolers

late stone Oct 4, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

i like the tuf gaming variant but i have the msi gaming x 1650s

#

evga step up program is good though

night storm Oct 4, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

Only way that makes sense if you plan on upgrading to a 3080 to not just waste money

#

But you do you

#

You can take up to 90 days to sign up to the program and then you still have to wait till you get to bottom. And upgrading from 2070 super to 3080 will be about 200$ if your saving your allowance that’s more than enough time

is it just a fan header plugin? it should work if you just have it on the right header on the mobo, check if it’s 12v or 5v as well

#

should say on the fan

hazy ridge Oct 5, 2020, 12:49 AM

its 12 v

and ya its a 3 pin plugin

and i dont have any more headers

I'm getting a pretty noticeable 50Hz hum coming from my PC (not the speakers). I'm in Europe, where AC is 50Hz. Is there any way I could try to minimize this?
I'm not sure where it's coming from, but the PSU does already have some pretty bad coil whine so I'm keeping it as a prime suspect.
Problem is, I don't have any other PSUs I could test and this one is way out of warranty + purchased in the US.

worry about that IN the future

@foggy hazel mostly looking to change to an easier case for cable management, and my mobo is having issues with reading RAM cards

So looking at changing those two atleast by late December

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 6:51 AM

warranty is a thing

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 6:51 AM

I guess

Still bigger easier case for cable management

you are not pulling parts in and out a million times

I hate having to reach in between cords to get to my ram cards

And actually I am

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

so what if it takes you an extra hour to fix things the ONE time you will be doing it

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Well my ram cards atleast

#

I have to do it every time my pc shuts off or restarts

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

yes, because your parts are DEFECTIVE

#

as i said, warranty is a thing

#

IF you dont want to fix things, there is nothing i can say that will help.

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 6:54 AM

Plus didn't you say I should replace the thermaltake sometime soon?

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 6:55 AM

i suggested that your choice is PSU was doubtful

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

Yeah, many people told me it usually end up failing early or immediately

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 6:55 AM

but, you have honestly been all over the place with the parts you have talked about.

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

True

#

But this is basically it for me

My final decision

A lot of my back and forth recently was due to availability really.

I'm buying local since it's usually cheaper, and in my cases, it has been

why do you need 32gb of ram?

strange basin Oct 5, 2020, 3:30 PM

@strange basin UMA and HD???
Graphics card

#

Hd=intergrated

#

and UMA something similar

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

???

#

Can you tell me the specifics?

#

Never heard of them

#

@strange basin first, integrated means it isn't a graphics card, second, maybe you mean like intel UHD 620, I don't know of HD, and I can't even think of anything that resembles UMA?

strange basin Oct 5, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

What is UMA graphic?

Unlike discrete graphics which have dedicated video memory on the card, systems with integrated graphics are based on Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) technology, which means a portion of the system memory is shared with the integrated graphics controller.

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

I'm 80% sure most iGPUs just use system ram

#

sooo

#

what specific models are you looking at?

#

if it's just an architecture

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

all iGPUs use system memory

#

UMA is the technology behind sharing system memory with another memory contriller

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

I don't want to say all because I know there are really weird iGPUs out there

#

like vega on intel

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

an iGPU is only an iGPU if its on the same monolithic die as the cpu

#

at least imo

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

I mean, I consider if it's on the CPU, it's an iGPU

#

wouldn't AMD not have iGPUs under that logic?

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

those are called APUs

#

not CPUs

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

I still call them iGPUs for the graphics processing unit

#

Like would you call vega 11 an iGPU or an APU?

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

i mean, i would call it an iGPU

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

it's just less confusing that way imo

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

yeah i guess

#

but i think the only iGPU that doesnt use system memory are the 5 intel cpus with vega onboard

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

@strange basin so anyways, what are the specific models you are looking at for comparison?

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

they have an HMB stack

#

other than that, i cant think of any others

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

doesn't HMB use system ram anyways?

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

high bandwidth memory and host memory bus are two very different things

#

oops

#

its HBM

#

kek

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

lol

#

I was really confused with HMB on iGPU

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

i was trying to figure out why the acronym resulted in an incoherent statement

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

HBM stack sounds fun

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

its literally the best, its just still slower than ddr

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

HBM2 for Radeon VII

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

but not by much

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

welll

#

gddr6x beats it on 3090 iirc

#

barely

#

in bandwidth

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

i feel like HBM should just become commonplace in gpus in the future, it would be one less thing to worry about cooling

for waterblock and heatsink design

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 3:47 PM

hm

@lucid walrus what do you need it to do?

there's a 95% chance you'll get better value from a b550 board, but what do we know about you?

lucid walrus Oct 5, 2020, 4:08 PM

Just some basic overclocking

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 4:08 PM

I mean in terms of IO and such

the chipset themselves mean NOTHING for overclocking

that's all dependent on a model

lucid walrus Oct 5, 2020, 4:08 PM

Buying I'd say

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 4:58 PM

Buy everything at the same time

Don't buy bit by bit over a month or months

So do this

glacial sand Oct 5, 2020, 4:59 PM

Ah good call cause things change fast huh

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

When you have the money to buy a component, set that same amount aside, as if you bought it

#

Then once you’ve saved enough, buy it all at once and you may be able to find better deals

#

Also you may have something planned

glacial sand Oct 5, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

Is your 2600x 2060 super reference to your cpu and GPU?

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

yes, that is the case for him @glacial sand

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

@granite imp love the build btw

glacial sand Oct 5, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

My coworker swears by the 3600x and tells me if you have less than 1650 GTX you will not enjoy upcoming games

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

@granite imp love the build btw
@polar prism not mine, pulled from Reddit pcmr

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

It depends. The 1070 and 1080 cards are still usable but they’re getting slower now

#

Ohhh okay. Still a cool build tho

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

That’s mine

📎 image0.jpg

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Also a 1080 would be slightly cheaper or the same price as a 1660 or 2060

glacial sand Oct 5, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

I really want ray tracing in my new rig so won't be going lower than RTX cards

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

I played Minecraft with ray tracing for like 10 min

#

That was my extent of it

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

How much do you have for a gpu

glacial sand Oct 5, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

Right now I have 1000 in mind for a new pc

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

Then you should probably go for a 2060 super if you want RTX

#

Unless the 2070s drop in price after the 3070 comes

glacial sand Oct 5, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

True, what's the big hype about the founders edition?

#

@granite imp @stoic island @polar prism cheers mates

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

The founders edition looks good and finally has some good thermals. Not as good as the custom cards but they’re usable now

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

True, what's the big hype about the founders edition?
@glacial sand better performance than 2080ti at a fraction of the cost

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

I'm back

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

If you’re lucky enough to get one

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

@glacial sand just come back again when you're set on how much you want to spend and when you want to spend it.

#

and also, the hype isn't about the "founders edition" model of the card, the hype is more about the GPU itself, the RTX 3070 GPU can perform better than the 2080ti at a fraction of the cost

#

And that applies to practically all AIB models of the GPUs

granite imp Oct 5, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Just ask 10 people for a dollar every day, and in 3 months you’ll have enough

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

@stoic island some of the hype is ALSO about the FE (founders edition) cooler.

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Is it me or the rtx 3000 Msi gaming x trio looks way uglier than the rtx 2000 gaming x trio

#

📎 image0.png 📎 image1.png

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

It's mainly on the 3070, since the hype for the 3080 and 3090 FE has been realized and seen with the good thermals

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

The 2000 gaming x trio looks way nicer imo

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Good thermals. Still worse than AIBs tho

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

worse than some

#

depends on the specific card

#

but it's definitely a step up from before

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Even the Zotac is nearly 10c cooler

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

is it?

#

Haven't had time to look at the major AIB thermal testing yet

#

@little osprey imo new looks soo much better, it's actually symmetrical now

#

it looks a lot like the duke oc on the 1080ti and 2070 now

#

3 symmetrical fans

#

instead of gaming x on the 2080ti having 1 fan dif size

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Yeah but most people don’t see it unless it’s a vertical mount

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

I don’t like some of the 30 series cards, but most are good

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

The side looks much nicer

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

we're talking about dif parts of the card then

#

idrc about side looks

#

it's just there

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Yeah but that’s what most people see

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

mhm, it's what I believe

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

Evga for once did an amazing job on their card design

#

Which is a shocker because their cards are usually pretty ugly

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

I mean

#

there's been controversy with people hating the new ftw3

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

What’s the controversy

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

I really like it. It grew on me

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Yeah

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Totally different than before

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

📎 image0.png

#

Usually their cards have little to no rgb

#

They did something new this time

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

not really controversy but people hate the red accent

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

The red edges aren’t too bad IMO

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

some people

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

set the rgb to solid red, and the card would look sick in a black and red themed build

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Yeah I have no idea why card manufacturers have to make accents

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

@viral ore that’s what I might do when I get mine

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

But in the end most@people won’t even see it because the side panels are tinted

#

The msi rtx 2080 trio has a red accent I cannot see

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

Also they are going to have covers or replacements for them

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

i hate tinted side panels

#

what a waste

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

The nzxt h510 series has it

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

I don’t have nice cables so it’s nice to hide them

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Not that much but just a bit

#

Enough to hide the red accents on my msi card

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

I mean they’re stock Corsair RMx cables but still

viral ore Oct 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

im happy my case is not tinted at all, its nice

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

I’ll have mine done tonight

#

Gpu and ram come in the next few hours

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

I’m happy that I bought the rtx 2080s in July instead of waiting tbh

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Everything’s put together outside of the case so I just have to put the ram in and mount the gpu to test, then put it in the case

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Otherwise@id be waiting months more due to lack of stock

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Yeah I picked up a 2070 super

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Which is what I predicted

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

yea july was fine

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

Everyone at the time told me it was around the corner but I really didn’t care

#

Not tryna wait 6 more months

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

The 2070 and up will be good for the next 2-3 years

stoic island Oct 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

I only really started recommending people grab new GPUs in sept. because I didn't think about stock

#

@polar prism but I want a new card to replace my 2070 :(

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

I’ll wait for the rtx 5000 lol

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

I mean you can prob get one by January or after

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

The 3080 still cannot pull off 1080p 144fps with all ultra settings and ray tracing with max dxt reflections on

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

Well

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

On all games

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

1080 is cpu intensive it’s not on the gpu for that

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

Wdym 1080

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

1080p

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

I have a ryzen 9 3900x and 64gb ram lol

#

It’s an editing pc but I play games time to time

#

My cpu never reaches 100% on games

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

Yes. I’m just saying the 3080 can’t improve 1080p FPS that much

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah I just want 144hz gaming with all max settjngs and ray teacing on all games

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

If you look at benchmarks, when the gpu is pushed from 1080p to 1440p it performs better

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Once the hardware comes out for@it@I’ll buy it

#

Also can’t you just increase render wuality to make it like 1440p

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

I’m not sure if you can with a 1080p monitor but if you can then I think that would help

#

I have 1440p so I’m not sure on that

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Well regardless no resolution can do full 144hz gaming at all max settings

#

So I really don’t care if the rtx 2080s has 80fps and the 3080 has 100-110 on games

#

I’ll upgrade when I can do full 144hz

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Well you’re realistic. Not saying it’s a bad thing, but a lot of people aren’t and they want the 30-40 FPS boost

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Yeah

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Even though it won’t make a massive difference in all honesty. Although the 30 series is very good at 4K

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

I care more about FPS than resolution

#

Other people have other opinions

#

But I’m just an fps person

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Same. I think 1440p is perfect. 4K is too much IMO

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

1080p is just fine for me and I prefer is over 4K 60fps

#

I might upgrade to 1440p in the future but it’s an expensive upgrade considering my ocd would make me get all the new monitors to be the same model

#

But right now no hardware supports full 1440p 144hz max settings ray tracing

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Fair point. I have one 32” dell. I like it a lot

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Yeah 32” needs 1440p

polar prism Oct 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Well 100+ FPS with ray tracing on is still good

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

I have a 27 inch 1080p 144hz and I’m totally fine with it

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

@little osprey plenty of hardware supports it, but nothing can run it at that specified rate <- is probably the more correct way to phrase it :)

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Not every game can push 144hz full max dxr ray racing at full quality

foggy hazel Oct 5, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

again, that is about the performance, not the "support" :)

little osprey Oct 5, 2020, 5:46 PM

Yes

#

A 2070 or higher will be good with the 3700x

little osprey Oct 6, 2020, 1:51 AM

so a ryzen 7 3700x wont bottle neck the 3070

polar prism Oct 6, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

R5 3600 might be a good choice too depending on what the benchmarks show. And no a 3700x will not bottleneck a 3070
