Cheaper psu

hazy rune
balmy patio
#

ohhh nice

#

good job @little leaf

little leaf
#

@hazy rune that is not a good list

balmy patio
#

wait

little leaf
#

dk bout that 5700xt

balmy patio
#

wouldnt ayush need an extra fan for the back of the case

potent prairie
#

Swordfish is not a good ssd

wild briar
#

Want an rgb setup

hazy rune
#

Swordfish is cheap. NVME is stupid fast it doesn't matter

wild briar
#

With at least 3 fans

potent prairie
#

It does

#

That is a dramless drive

little leaf
#

@hazy rune Your list is bad

potent prairie
#

It can get slower than an hhd when full without dram

hazy rune
#

@little leaf Do explain instead of "you bad, I good"

balmy patio
#

wait no @little leaf the 5700xt needs a minimum of 600w

little leaf
#

WOrse gpu

#

bad ssd

#

no need for hdd

#

slower ram

wild briar
#

Hey pc partpicker

little leaf
#

Yes?

hazy rune
#

Those are literally all preferences except for the SSD

wild briar
#

How many fans could I put on that case

potent prairie
#

Look at pins in #storage-devices if you wanna pick an ssd, or just take our advise and get an mp34

little leaf
#

@hazy rune ram?

potent prairie
#

Those are literally all preferences except for the SSD
@hazy rune Psu is meh

hazy rune
#

What resolution is he running?

little leaf
#

1080p

wind tiger
#

@wild briar your a fortnite kid

prisma stag
#

@wild briar u can put 9 in this one

hazy rune
#

You don't need 5700xt for 1080p

plush wigeon
balmy patio
#

@wild briar with that case you can put two in the front which are included, one in the back and one on top

wild briar
#

Ok

little leaf
vital warren
#

if you're spending 1k just do 3070 + 3600

potent prairie
#

CXM is known for coil whine issues I believe

vital warren
#

rx 5700xt works too

wind tiger
#

or just buy a computer case with fans

little leaf
#

or 3070

hazy rune
#

I have a RMX and I don't hear anything.

#

Not CXM but still

little leaf
#

Those are different psus lol

potent prairie
#

Yeah, very different

deep skiff
#

those are pretty much opposites on their psu range

little leaf
#

The rmx series and cxm are very different psus

hazy rune
#

Yes. Thank you for repeating your message.

cloud oasis
#

Enermax df 850w

vital warren
potent prairie
#

RMX is one of corsair's best, CXM is a budget PSU

hazy rune
#

$1000 is a budget after all

little leaf
#

fire titan your getting a new gpu right?

hazy rune
#

Eventually

#

Aren't we all?

little leaf
#

Because a 1060 3gb is terrible

#

Idk why anyone would put a 9700k with a 1060 3gb

hazy rune
#

Any particular reason you're being snippy?

plush wigeon
#

Can get a used rx 580 pretty cheap

little osprey
orchid matrix
little leaf
#

yes

plush wigeon
#

you need headroom...

vital warren
#

that's the website link

cloud oasis
#

Pepega Clap world record

little leaf
#

oh wait lol

little osprey
#

why do i need 200 watss of headroom

#

watts

little leaf
#

Website link

plush wigeon
#

psu's work best with headroom don't they?

cloud oasis
#

Yes

hazy rune
#

They're definitely quieter with headroom

little osprey
#

if noise doesnt matter then i wouldnt need to get something that has 200 watts of headroom?

blazing zealot
#

hey can any1 dm me abt how to build a gaming pc

#

pls

vital warren
#

okay, go get a 430w thermaltake smart and watch it blow up

potent prairie
#

Upgrade potential

vital warren
#

poof

#

you want extra power

little osprey
#

i saw a video of someone using 450 watt with 3950x and rtx 2080 ti and it was barely fine

little leaf
#

@little osprey were they underclocked and was a very high quality psu?

plush wigeon
#

There's plenty of high quality YouTube videos of that. Better then having someone explain it over text @blazing zealot

little osprey
#

they never mentioned if it was underclocked or overclocked so i assume it was stock

little leaf
#

what psu?

little osprey
#

let me check

plush wigeon
#

just link the video

little osprey
#

ok

cloud oasis
#

Enermax df 850w

potent prairie
#

Do note that RTX 3000 series has higher power demands. Spikes and stuff

little osprey
#

would a 3060 consume more power than a rtx 2080 ti

foggy hazel
#

considering we dont know anything about the 3060

#

we dont know

little osprey
#

what about the 3070

foggy hazel
#

but, based on normal speculation? no.

#

same for that

slim escarp
#

If I bought my cpu now for a build I’m doing in like a month should I be fine

hazy rune
#

I did. You can't really do much with it in the meantime

slim escarp
#

I’m buying it now because I know it goes out of stock every once in a while and I don’t wanna the price it’s at is not bad

little osprey
#

anything I could do to this to bring it more towards the $1000 mark?

hazy rune
#

3070 is what's killing you

languid cedar
#

@little osprey instead of having 1 1tb ssd you could get a 500 gb ssd and a 2tb barracuda hhd

#

for like 55 bucks

vital warren
#

you want the 3070

#

can cut down on mobo

deep skiff
#

thatd be basically the same price as a 1tb ssd

hazy rune
#

RAM and storage are all easy to upgrade later

vital warren
#

psu a little

languid cedar
#

oh

vital warren
final field
#

you dont need that high of a wattage for a psu

vital warren
#

if you don't need wifi i can shave a few more bucks

#

yeah i can cut it a little

little osprey
#

I was considering a cheaper mobo like the asrock pro m4 but idk if I want to be cheaping out on that

vital warren
#

but i always throw in extra power

quasi snow
#

nvidia says 3070 needs a 650 watt psu

little osprey
#

out of every pc part I know the least about mobo and idk what having a below mid tier mobo would do to the system long run

final field
#

yeah just get a chaper 650 watt psu

little osprey
#

not saying that the pro vdh wifi is bad its just I feel like I could invest a little more and get a little more

vital warren
#

i only know of like the asrock b550 one is like 105 usually

#

b550 d3sh is 95

little osprey
#

I was comparing the cheaper options with the mainstream b550m mobos

#

from what I can see vrm's + cooling are better as well as more features on a 30/40$ more mobo

#

I guess it also comes down quite a bit to how much stock there is by end of november leading up to december since its not like im limited by time and in all likelihood storage and psu will go on sale for black friday/christmas

vital warren
#

i know the asrock pro4 one is good

little osprey
#

yeah its a toss up for me between cheap mobo + better psu and cheaper psu + better mobo

vital warren
#

i think this is fine

#

it is a little extra power but i'd rather stay with a unit i know is good

#

i'm sure the techies can nitpick little bits of money here and there

little osprey
#

yeah that looks fine

vital warren
#

you don't need a super high end psu in a thousand dollar build

little osprey
#

I think as long as I'm 650w 80+b range or better I should be fine

#

and case comes with psu shroud so it doesnt necessarily have to be modular

vital warren
#

yeah you'll be good with 700 80+bronze

little osprey
#

I can figure storage out later too

vital warren
#

modular is not ideal for more budget builds at is costs more

#

yeah you can just throw a 2tb hdd down the line if you need

#

or another ssd

#

that mobo can fit 2 m.2 ssds

little osprey
#

ok thanks a lot for the help

vital warren
#

np

final field
#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

vital warren
#

cl18 memory, sata dramless ssd, idk anything about that psu, i'd stick with a case that has mesh

late helm
#

still puzzled on what to use to control my 5 3pin 12 volt rgb fans . all controlers I can find only connect 5 volt 3-pin rgb which is totally different

#

as for mesh cases they are nice but for non mesh cases they do make magnetic dust covers of all size is you need

September

foggy hazel
#

@late helm did you read what Hei said earlier?

late helm
#

no sorry i was not on

foggy hazel
#

search for him, limited to this chat

#

you should find it

late helm
#

not use to this how do i do that ?

foggy hazel
#

there is a search field

#

just start to type in it

#

and there will be suggestions

late helm
#

he says 3 pin 12 volt doesnt exist but I have 5 in front of me and they do

foggy hazel
#

pictures and/or model names?

late helm
#

think i can come up with picture and post them later

foggy hazel
#

model names is preferable

late helm
#

no name china so no good there

foggy hazel
#

then you might just be out of luck

#

because heck knows how they are wired

late helm
#

I plug them into my 4 pin fan headers and they work fine just no control over colors

foggy hazel
#

there is a 3/4 pin connector that is entirely fan related

#

and then there is "something" that is entirely RGB related

late helm
#

on the 4 pin fan header isnt the 4th pin for speed control ?

foggy hazel
#

its for pvm signal yes

#

which aligns with what i said above :)

late helm
#

then which pin would control colors ?

foggy hazel
#

none of those

#

as i said

#

2 cables

late helm
#

well live a learn buy cheap fans and you get what you get lol

foggy hazel
#

yours sound like they are "fixed" colour

#

with a "interesting" way of naming them

late helm
#

they are 4 spotted colors when i turn them on

foggy hazel
#

that does not mean they can be adressed

late helm
#

well will find out when my CPU comes in and I can install the motherboard cd

foggy hazel
#

back up a bit there

late helm
#

ok

foggy hazel
#

please elaborate on that

#

"well will find out when my CPU comes in and I can install the motherboard cd"

late helm
#

i had to return the cpu it was bad

foggy hazel
#

yes?, go on

late helm
#

so i have the fans connected to MB

foggy hazel
#

yes?

#

via ONLY a 4 pin connector right?

late helm
#

when i turn the power on the fans do work and show some color

#

yes using the 4 pin fan header

foggy hazel
#

yes

#

and there are no other cables coming from the fans?

late helm
#

yes they have the old stile power cable too but instructions say one or the other

foggy hazel
#

yes, molex

late helm
#

old stile has only 2 pins

#

yes

foggy hazel
#

could you please elaborate on why you think having the CPU will help?

#

or for that sake, the mainboard CD

late helm
#

has 4 pins as usual only 2 wires and connection

clever sonnet
#

bryh

foggy hazel
#

aye, that is normal for old style molex use on fans

clever sonnet
#

im putting my i7-9700k in rn

late helm
#

will be able to install the color management

#

software

foggy hazel
#

@late helm no

#

there is nothing to "control"

clever sonnet
#

why does the motherboard switch feel like its gonna break

#

when i lock it in

late helm
#

oh ok

foggy hazel
#

that is what i am trying to tell you @late helm

clever sonnet
#

im so sketched out

foggy hazel
#

your fans are "fixed" colour ones

late helm
#

well you got it through my thick head now lol

foggy hazel
#

@clever sonnet check that the cpu is turned the right way around

clever sonnet
#

this motherboard doesnt rlly have arrows

late helm
#

my fans were listed as addressable

foggy hazel
#

the socket does @clever sonnet

late helm
#

but oh well i got what i paid for lol

fleet pagoda
#

Kinda pog

foggy hazel
#

and the mainboard comes with a manual. please read it. there is clear instructions for how it should be @clever sonnet

clever sonnet
#

oh ok

#

wondering if that was the right way

foggy hazel
#

if you are stumped by that @clever sonnet

#

i HIGHLY recommend that you read the manual

#

you are going to need it for what comes after

late helm
#

Think I will use these fans and save up for some good ones at a later date more important things to buy right now

foggy hazel
#

:)

late helm
#

at least the fans work and have a little color 🙂

foggy hazel
#

aye :)

late helm
#

not going to get corsair though

clever sonnet
#

nah the only part im scared abt

#

is why its kinda hard to push down the switch

#

not hard

#

but feels like its gonna break

foggy hazel
#

read the manual

clever sonnet
#

it says how

#

i'm just asking if it should feel like its gonna snap

#

i'm doing it the way it says

foggy hazel
#

it depends on the following: Have you actually turned the CPU the right way?

clever sonnet
#

yes

late helm
#

could it be a defect in case power button ?

foggy hazel
#

and i am NOT going to tell you how it feels to me (when i push that lever, because how i know it feels, might NOT be how you think of the same thing)

#

because IF you have NOT turned the cpu the right way, i will be blamed for you not reading the manual.

late helm
#

oh cpu yea never had a problem with is sliding right in turn the right way

clever sonnet
#

nah i got it the right way

foggy hazel
#

then post picture with it placed right way IN the socket please.

clever sonnet
#

i've watched build videos and am making sure i do it correctly

#

i already put the cpu in

foggy hazel
#

yes, i am aware

#

now post a picture of it, with the bracket folded up and out of the way

clever sonnet
#

oh rip

#

i already closed the bracket but

foggy hazel
#

oh well, too late now

clever sonnet
#

you can still see the arrow

#

so

#

its whatever

late helm
#

does the MB post ? or havnt you tried ?

foggy hazel
#

i trust users to actually do as they say they are, just as much as i trust fire to be cold

#

and that is not personal

#

just based on experience

late helm
#

Naed have you seen a lot of problem with the G ryzen cpus ?

foggy hazel
#

not any more than any other cpu

late helm
#

ok thanx

foggy hazel
#

anything specific you are thinking of?

late helm
#

well I had to return my 2600G would not work in 2 different MBs

#

both rated G ready

foggy hazel
#

which mainboard models?

#

and have you had either board work with anything else?

#

same question for the ram used in those boards

late helm
#

both MSI one the x570 pro the other the B450 gamer plus max

#

gammer

foggy hazel
#

hm, nothing as such should prevent that combination from working

#

you might just have lucked out and hit a dead part

#

it does happen

late helm
#

thats what MSI said and they thought bad cpu

foggy hazel
#

just a question of statistics

late helm
#

bottom red light on the x570 bottom 2 lights on the B450

#

and I did the BIOS update on both

#

Nead your very helpful thanx

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome

late helm
#

I give Newegg a very high A++ on service

foggy hazel
#

i dont work for newegg

#

nor am i affiliated with them

late helm
#

I figured that but had to put that out there

foggy hazel
#

just a random person from the other side of the globe

late helm
#

well your very good congrats

foggy hazel
#

thank you for the kind words

late helm
#

Truth is I have built around 10 computer but last was 6 years ago and wow have things changed

foggy hazel
#

:)

#

aye, things have changed for the better imo

#

in the general sense of things at least

late helm
#

first one I built 256 mb was largest HD LOL

#

1994

foggy hazel
#

back in the early 90's then?

late helm
#

yes

foggy hazel
#

hm, so a budget-ish drive back then

#

unless it was early in the year?

late helm
#

it was the largest out there at that time

foggy hazel
#

because 420+ was very popular at the later half of 94

late helm
#

it was January

#

lol

foggy hazel
#

that explain it then :)

#

a lot of dx-2 66mhz machines with 420mb drives around in the later part of that year :)

late helm
#

back when you had to set each jumper for voltage

#

think i was using windows 3.11

foggy hazel
#

it was a bit more of "pray that the manual is right" vs now :)

#

and that the silkscreen on the board was right

late helm
#

right lol

#

I went to a computer show later that year thin I saw a 600 MB HD and it was over 2k

#

think

foggy hazel
#

sounds about right

little osprey
late helm
#

have a great day Naed Im out of here

covert pewter
#

Can someone make me a 1200 dollar wifi build I plan to use it for only gaming and some homework

foggy hazel
#

likewise @late helm

slim escarp
#

@covert pewter yes give me a few seconds tho

covert pewter
#

Okay

late helm
#

never mind

foggy hazel
#

slim escarp
#

@deft zephyr would you like wifi or no

deft zephyr
#

I have a wifi adapter

slim escarp

#

Thanks

slim escarp
#

@little osprey what ram

deft zephyr
#

thx

slim escarp
#

That’s a laptop right

stoic island
#

You sure it's got 2 slots?

foggy hazel
#

and that stick MIGHT be soldered in

#

meaning, there might just be 1 slot free

stoic island
#

(tryna find the actual manual for the thing)

slim escarp
stoic island
#

@slim escarp the product that showed up for the model has a 3500u

#

so what you're looking at might be a different thing :P

#

hm

#

ick I dislike hp even more now

#

uh oh

slim escarp
stoic island
#

Non-customer-accessible/non-upgradable

#

that's sad

slim escarp
#

Oh crap

#

Why would that even be a thing 🤦

little osprey
#

will nvidia make new gtx cards or they stop

stoic island
#

only real way to tell is to open it up

#

usually it means just soldered on.

#

@little osprey I think GTX cards are still technically active

clever sonnet
#

hi guys

#

how do you install a m.2 ssd

stoic island
#

there's a standoff screw

clever sonnet
#

i have an asus tuf z390 motherboard

stoic island
#

you slide the ssd into the slot

#

then use the standoff screw

clever sonnet
#

Ok

#

are cpus supposed to have dents on the sides

late pike
#

dents?

clever sonnet
#

where the socket is pushing down

#

i installed it the right way

#

but its kinda sketch

late pike
#

did you line up the triangles?

clever sonnet
#

yeah

late pike
#

then you should be fine

#

as long as there was no bent pins

clever sonnet
#

no bent pins

stoic island
#

dents on the sides?

#

wut

lyric thistle
#

The cpu holder thing

#

Has little cups that press on the ihs

clever sonnet
#

is the ssd supposed to be floating or no

stoic island
#

there's a thing that you screw in below it

lyric thistle
#

So yeah it should be elevated

clever sonnet
#

is it one of these

slim escarp
#

You think a 47 inch desk can fit a pc and monitor

#

I’m going with yes

#

But idk

clever sonnet
#

i think yes

stoic island
#

looks like it

clever sonnet
#

my table is pretty small

#

it fits

lyric thistle
#

I have like a 25 or 26 inch wide desk

slim escarp
#

I have a 25 inch right now

lyric thistle
#

With a 24 inch monitor

#

Fits okay

#

The keyboard and mouse barely fit

foggy hazel
#

@clever sonnet read the manual

#

as i told you earlier

lyric thistle
#

That's my only real concern

slim escarp
#

I got a tkl keyboard because of it

#

This is my setup

foggy hazel
#

there is a parts list IN the manual

slim escarp
foggy hazel
#

which will tell you what part is used where

lyric thistle
#

Nice

#

Plenty of room

slim escarp
#

I just bought a new one

#

And I’m building a pc so the ps4 will be gone

lyric thistle
slim escarp
#

You need a tkl keyboard

#

Or maybe even a %60

lyric thistle
#

I just want to use a larger desk lol

slim escarp
#

Do you have any money

lyric thistle
#

Yems

#

A few monies

fast viper
#

Is a 1660ti good enough to power a gaming pc?

slim escarp
#

I just bought a 60 dollar wood 47 inch desk

#

@fast viper that’s more than enough

lyric thistle
#

It's like a 2060 or 2060 Super but without the ray tracing

#

Not quite but that's the idea

vapid moth
#

I'm sitting and stalking ebay deals on rtx 2070s lol

slim escarp
#

@lyric thistle what size desk are you looking for

lyric thistle
#

None right now

stoic island
#

oh interesting

slim escarp
#

@little osprey nice do you know if they limit 8gb per slot or

earnest ravine
lyric thistle
#

But I'd like a pretty wide one with lots of counter space

earnest ravine
#

@lyric thistle

vapid moth
#

Are you looking for L desks or just one side? @lyric thistle

lyric thistle
#

Different model monitor it looks like

slim escarp
#

Ones curved one isn’t

vapid moth
#

If you're looking for an L shaped desk I can recommend mine

#

Lemme see if I can go find the link

wild briar
#

He guys can someone tell me which build is the best I’ll send

vapid moth
#

Yeah okay I probably can't find it on mobile lol

wild briar
slim escarp
#

I wish I could get a l shape desk but my dad won’t let me cover up a window my bed closet and door cover all of the other corners

lyric thistle
#

I prefer a straight type desk

steep plover
#

I would love an L shape desk as well.

How does this parts list look? I'm going for an all black with rbg, will the cable extensions I put in custom parts at the bottom work? What are the fans like? I'm going to replace the 2 fans that come with the case and the 2 fans on the liquid aio

How does this parts list look? I'm going for an all black with rbg, will the cable extensions I put in custom parts at the bottom work? What are the fans like? I'm going to replace the 2 fans that come with the case and the 2 fans on the liquid aio
@balmy girder it’s good but expensive lol

stoic island
#

I'm making edits right now.

balmy girder
#

I still haven't decided on what gpu I'm getting, like what brand but I put the 3070 in as a ameker

steep plover
#

The fans are not ARGB with lsoftware most likely being cheap like that

balmy girder
#

What

#

Yeah im probably gonna chnage fans, I just found a cheapish 6pack with rgb

steep plover
#

The custom cables extensions should work if the PSU is fully modular.

paper coral
#

can someone help me make a pc?

stoic island
balmy girder
#

I feel like that's a completely different list lol

steep plover
#

@paper coral do you have a budget? Are you planning to stream?

stoic island
#

kinda is xD

#

to start off

#

main things, for the RGB,

paper coral
#

@paper coral do you have a budget? Are you planning to stream?
@steep plover 2000 australian and maybe it is for video editing

steep plover
#

Okay. Send me a pcpartpicker link so it’ll be in Australia currency please

stoic island
#

100$ TD500 mesh has included 3x argb fans, might as well grab just that instead of 90$ case with 50$ fans and then 80$ rgb aio

#

what

#

@steep plover do it yourself >:P

#

au.pcpartpicker.com/list

steep plover
#

Oh didn’t realize that’s how it worked lmao

stoic island
balmy girder
#

I put the aio in because it looks better imo

stoic island
slim escarp
#

I’m back

stoic island
#

I don't like any AIO except for Arctic freezer ii

#

:P

#

I'm a perf>looks guy

#

any day

balmy girder
#

I'm more looks lol

#

When does the 3070 come out?

stoic island
#

4 days

paper coral
#

@steep plover can u dm it to me plz

slim escarp
#

You think black on orange will look ok

#

For a pc build

stoic island
#

Looks are relative

balmy girder
#

I was gonna go blackout

#

But just decided to do rbg

stoic island
#

rgb expensive tho

balmy girder
#

So

#

Looks cool

#

If synced

slim escarp
#

Well I mean I have 600 dollars to make a pc so I’m spending like 550 on specs then 50 on looks

balmy girder
#

I dont technically have a budget. Cuz im still saving up. But I want to stay under 1800-2k

stoic island
#

oh well

#

you can easily get a 3080 then

balmy girder
#

How much is the 3070 again?

slim escarp
#

The only looks I’m getting is led fans and psu cable extenders

balmy girder
#

I meant 3080

slim escarp
#

700

steep plover
#

@balmy girder I made a ~$600 pc and $200 of it was on Corsair stuff to get it all synced and be as easily upgradable as possible

slim escarp
#

What cpu and gpu did you have in the build

steep plover
#

Granted it is my second workstation so it didn’t have to be all out performance

#

A dang 3400G.

balmy girder
#

Id rather save 200 and get a 3070 then spend 700 to get a 3080 tbh

slim escarp
#

I’m getting a 3100 in mine with a 1650 super so

#

It’s up to you man

steep plover
#

Yeah o could’ve spent the 200 on a GPU instead of Corsair RGB is what I’m saying.

balmy girder
#

Also, honestly with a blind test could u tell the difference between 3200 and 3600 ram?

#

Because I've heard the answer is no

steep plover
#

Granted I did get Corsair 16 GB 3600 RGB

balmy girder
#

I've also heard if ur going ryzen u should get faster ram

#

I could be wronf

#

Idk

stoic island
#

3600mhz

steep plover
#

Yeah it’s true

stoic island
#

is good for ryzen

slim escarp
#

I’m getting 3200 ram

balmy girder
#

But could u tell the difference?

slim escarp
#

Is eBay window keys liable

stoic island
#

@balmy girder I mean, can you tell the difference between a 3600 and 3900x side by side in games? doesn't mean there isn't a perf increase :D

balmy girder
#

Yes, but there grey market

stoic island
#

anyways

#

look up testing on youtube

balmy girder
#

3900x?

#

Whats that

stoic island
#

there's actually a decent gain from 3600mhz over 3200mhz

steep plover
#

It’s a CPU.

#

Ryzen 9 3900X

balmy girder
#

Ah

slim escarp
#

Idc too much about my specs because as long as it can run rust in 60fps I don’t see why I need more

slim escarp
#

There fine

balmy girder
#

Compared to the other ones?

#

The ones in my original list

slim escarp
#

I’m getting really cheap fans but I don’t need much airflow I’m mine because I have low end stuff

#

And I’ll check

balmy girder
#

I'm using the meshify c, so I don't think I would need amazing airflow, but im also using 6 low end fans

slim escarp
#

I mean it’s better it uses 12v instead if 5 and stuff but they are still on the lower end fans which work but if you want maximum airflow it won’t be cheap

#

So yes they should be fine

balmy girder
#

I'll also be using an aio for the cpu

slim escarp
#

Oh then you should be fine

balmy girder
#

I just want fans with rgb i can control and sync with everything else

#

Can I sync the rbg of different brands together ?

#

And those fans look cool

slim escarp
#

You done really have to worry about how good the fans are because your cpu will be cooled my your aio and the new gpu have amazing cooling

balmy girder
#

Ah good to know

slim escarp
#

Ps those aren’t real rgb they are just led

#

But they do the same thing they are just cheaper

balmy girder
#

What ones?

#

Ur fans or mine?

slim escarp
#

Both they are called rgb meaning red green blue but they work the same way I don’t really know the difference but everyone calls them fake rgb

balmy girder
#

Ah

#

Yeah I cant really think of differences

#

If they both change colors its rgb to me lol

slim escarp
#

The only difference might be you can’t customize them with software which you might be able to do but idk

#

They work and as long as they are doing a little bit your gpu and cpu will be fine as long as you have a high airflow case

#

What case are you getting or do you have

balmy girder
#

I'm gonna get a meshify c

slim escarp
#

Oh then yeah your fine as long as they do something

balmy girder
#

Good to know

#

What does addressable rgb mean exactly?

slim escarp
#

The only time you really need high end fans is if you have not that high of a airflow case and idk

#

Look it up maybe

balmy girder
#

An ARGB, or Addressable RGB, header (usually a 5V 3-pin connector) is equipped with an IC (Integrated Circuit, also sometimes referred to as a microchip) to provide muc better flexibility with regards to lighting options.

#

So doesn't that mean it can be controlled by the mobile?

#

Mobo

#

I'll have to look into it

still roostBOT
#
Ayush603#1002 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

wild briar
#

I need help

potent prairie
#

With?

balmy girder
#

I just plug the hub that the fans plug into into the mobo right?

wild briar
#

@potent prairie I send a message

balmy girder
slim escarp
#

Bro I’m cracking up here my friend said his pc sucked so bad it can’t run warzone right and I told him to send me the specs and he bought a prebuilt 3 years ago no wonder it sucks

balmy girder
#

Lmao

gritty zenith
#

oi

#

dont crack on ya friend too much Bored

slim escarp
#

It was a 500 dollar prebuilt too

gritty zenith
#

o nvm

balmy girder
#

LMAO

slim escarp
#

He said he will send me the specs tomorrow I’ll tell you how that goes

balmy girder
#

Ok lol

#

I'm just worried ill be missing something and have to wait another 3 weeks for it to ship lmao

slim escarp
#

I bet it has like an 3200g in it or maybe even worse

gritty zenith
#

meh

#

not too bad

slim escarp
#

What will you be missing

balmy girder
#

Idkkkk

slim escarp
#

Yeah it’s not bad if you have a gpu but he doesn’t I don’t think

balmy girder
#

But there's gonna be that one thing

gritty zenith
#

I'm just worried ill be missing something and have to wait another 3 weeks for it to ship lmao
@balmy girder i don't even know the context but i can relate

balmy girder
#

Mainly worried about the fans cuz I have no clue where the control box plugs into

#

And the cable extensions, like nkt having enough or whatever

slim escarp
#

The fans will either plug into the power supply or the motherboard itll probably have an option for both

#

I wish it was Christmas already because that is when I finally get enough money to build this thing

little osprey
#

hello

slim escarp
#

Hola

little osprey
#

im new to pc building, and im so confused lul

#

like

gritty zenith
#

allow us to gift you knowledge

slim escarp
#

Me too

gritty zenith
little osprey
#

any recommendations on monitors? 144hz or above i just want a single monitor setup

#

something about compatibiliy and all that

calm crypt
#

Well first off

#

That’s an intel mibo

slim escarp
#

I think I figured out the building process but when it comes to the drivers, software and stuff I have no clue

calm crypt
#

Mobo*

#

With an amd cpu

#

That couldn’t work if u tried sadly

languid cedar
#

stupid question hahah I/O means input and output right?

calm crypt
#

So you need to pick out a new motherboard or cpu

#

Your choice

gritty zenith
#

nah

calm crypt
#

Personally I’d pic out a new mobo

gritty zenith
#

not a choice

#

new mobo

#

stick with amd

#

lel

calm crypt
#

Yea ofc lol

gritty zenith
#

b550 or x570

#

ez

slim escarp
#

@little osprey what’s your budget I’ll build you a lost

balmy girder
#

The fans will either plug into the power supply or the motherboard itll probably have an option for both
@slim escarp
It says on the thing it plugs into the psu with a 4 pin connector, does that mean i can't control it with the motherboard?

slim escarp
#

List

calm crypt
#

B550 don’t waste money on x570 for a 3600

slim escarp
#

I don’t think so but it has a remote so you can control everything from there

gritty zenith
#

tbh haven't seen many x570 boards that blow u away relative to some b550 boards

calm crypt
#

Fax

slim escarp
#

@little osprey what’s your budget

balmy girder
#

Damn ill probably look for different ones then, I want to sync everything

slim escarp
#

Wait

#

@balmy girder when I was looking at the fans it said it was 12v which plug into your mobo so I think that is just an option to plug it into the psu

balmy girder
#

Ah ok, I wondering cuz it just sayed it could be plugged into psi

#

Psu

slim escarp
#

Plus how many fans does your case support that is a pack of 5

balmy girder
#

I could always just email them lol

#

7

#

7 120s

gritty zenith
#

7 fans b overkill

slim escarp
#

Oh

gritty zenith
#

gotta get that aRGB tho

slim escarp
#

My thing supports 5 3 in the front 2 in the back

gritty zenith
#

my atx tower supports 2

#

lol

#

imagine

slim escarp
#

I’m just getting the fake rgb because I’m on a budget

gritty zenith
#

mmm

#

did i just hear

#

savings

balmy girder
#

I'm gonna put 1 on the back, 2 on the radiator on the front, 3 on top

#

None on bottom

slim escarp
#

34 dollars for 5 rgb fans that is a steal they might suck but with my low end equipment idk

#

Idc

#

Yours supports some on the bottom

#

Well i gtg do school work I’ll be back

gritty zenith
#

oof u mean to tell me i overpaid for non RGB fans

#

smh

#

noctua b like

slim escarp
#

I’ll still be here so if you need me just @ me

gritty zenith
#

foggy hazel
#

what happened above was them not reading and then jabbering on amongst themselves

desert gulch
#

not fully

foggy hazel
#

-ish

#

:)

desert gulch
#

mychal thought it was in usd

#

for a lil

#

and i was talking bout what we could prolly fit in budget

#

lol i read tho

#

mychal didnt

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey how firm is that 1000 cad budget?

little osprey
#

wdym

#

like can it go higher

foggy hazel
#

can you go over a bit?

little osprey
#

yes

foggy hazel
#

it has parts that are a mix between good and decent

little osprey
#

thanks bro\

#

much apricated

desert gulch
#

@foggy hazel you realize thats kinda alot for an 8 gig stick right?

#

its like 65 usd

foggy hazel
#

gah, that was a wrong pick @desert gulch

desert gulch
#

closer to 70 usd actually

foggy hazel
#

thank you!

desert gulch
#

yup

#

but it do got that rgb

#

lol

foggy hazel
desert gulch
#

also naed you on windows right?

foggy hazel
#

aye, on this machine i am @desert gulch

little osprey
#

thanks bro

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome, thank you for sticking around so we could get you sorted @little osprey :)

desert gulch
#

im having a lil issue on windows rn naed

#

like when you turn the pc on from sleep moded and press enter or click mouse to log in

#

where it almost gets to where you can type in password

#

it pauses

#

so its just a blurred background

foggy hazel
#

you got a HDD in the machine?

desert gulch
#

uhh

#

yes

#

not boot driver tho

foggy hazel
#

and a ssd ofc

desert gulch
#

yup

#

im booting off p2

foggy hazel
#

try and power down the machine (not sleep, but actual power down) and then pull the power to the HDD

desert gulch
#

ok

foggy hazel
#

then boot back up and try and see what it says

desert gulch
#

ok

foggy hazel
#

no rush or anything

desert gulch
#

will try that after im done with my non savable homework assignement lol

foggy hazel
#

it might be a "slow/lazy" wake up call that throws a bunch of IO around, which causes it

desert gulch
#

ok

#

wanna be the IT techie guy at our high school?

#

we need someone smart tbh

#

they have no idea what they are doing

foggy hazel
#

heck no

#

i have both worked and consulted on jobs like that

desert gulch
#

they banned the videos the sent us to watch lol

foggy hazel
#

and its a thankless hellhole of a job

desert gulch
#

there was some mandatory state test and they managed to block that website lmao

foggy hazel
#

also, i prefer staying outside of the US

desert gulch
#

i see why

cursive wharf
#

US is a scary place

desert gulch
#

rn it is

cursive wharf
#

no kindereggs to protect you

desert gulch
#

yes

#

election deadline is in 2 weeks

#

or just under

#

and theres gonna be many people angry regardless of who wins

cursive wharf
#

also to make sure politics dont get out of control, should probs drop this

desert gulch
#

yeah

#

im not saying anything about certain people tho

#

just saying there will be riots regardless of who wins

#

im just hoping for a covid vaccine

cursive wharf
#

Aye, indeed

desert gulch
#

all the riots really started because everyone was holed up and bored

cursive wharf
desert gulch
#

wilco

little osprey
#

hello

#

i need help

foggy hazel
#

aye, itx under 200 right?

little osprey
#

i need a good suggestion for an itx

#

yes

#

thank you

foggy hazel
#

np

#

just to verify

#

any other particulars you need?

little osprey
#

uh

#

clearance probably

#

would be concerning

#

so

#

i want to use a Noctua NH-D15S 82.52 CFM

#

with vengeance lpx 3600 memory

#

apparently there are some clearance things with the lpx memory or something

desert gulch
#

what case would that be going in?

wide sparrow
#

Mmm

little osprey
#

a BASIC h210i itx tower

desert gulch
#

ok

little osprey
#

hypothetically btw idk if my parents will let me get it

foggy hazel
#

nah, lpx aint a problem

little osprey
#

ok ok

#

then its just the motherboard i need

#

dont judge but i plan to get a 1080ti

desert gulch
#

new?

little osprey
#

i know its still a beast in 2020

foggy hazel
#

i personally dont care what parts you use.

little osprey
#

probably not bc i see all these reviews and theyre saying that even used is great

foggy hazel
#

you are the one that wants to use it :)

little osprey
#

id prefer slightly used

desert gulch
#

used is very good

#

yeah 1080ti is still a beast

#

its around par with 2070 super iirc

little osprey
#

yeah i want to host a mc server for all my friends

desert gulch
#

nice

little osprey
#

or a bunch of my friends

#

bc my dad port-forwarded already so i can host one 24/7 for free

desert gulch
#

nice

little osprey
#

so yeah anyways any itx suggestions?

little osprey
#

by wifi it means like wifi literally wifi

#

i use ethernet

foggy hazel
#

its just on there

#

you dont have to use it

#

just like you dont have to use all the usb ports

little osprey
#

ok so a non wifi just disables you internet lul

foggy hazel
#

it just "is"

little osprey
#

okay then

#

if you could choose

#

option 1 or 2?

desert gulch
#

both are good

foggy hazel
#

whichever you think is prettier

desert gulch
#

its all personal preference

little osprey
#

ok ok

#

thanks sm

#

im not anti rgb really

#

just performance over looks

#

i have something against stock coolers i just find them dumb

foggy hazel
#

the msi has more of its IO exposed (as in, you have access to more of them)

little osprey
#

mk mk

#

WTF

desert gulch
#

wut?

little osprey
#

my uncle just bought my mom the iphone 12 like wtf
