that mouse really saved your wallet

foggy seal
#

yes yes it did

#

can someone explain to me

#

what the cores do

jagged ember
#

the cores help the computing

#

lol okay, in all seriousness

sullen spoke
#

Basic, multicore process. Games are more dependant on single core performance i believe

stark bramble
#

yep

sullen spoke
#

dont quote me haha i no cpu expert

stark bramble
#

thats why intel was superior in gaming for a long time and still are for the common people

jagged ember
#

agree

foggy seal
#

ima send u guys my current laptop

#

hold on

sullen spoke
#

something like rendering very nice with more core, but core is not everything

it shows especially on amd fx cpus

jagged ember
#

oh, that was a disaster

foggy seal
#

ik this is gonna hurt you guys

#

since its 800 bucks

; - ;

It's for looking at what takes space

jagged ember
#

stoic island
#

For you to delete

jagged ember
#

you gotta do the deleting yourself

foggy seal
#

bruh

sullen spoke
#

it is to find unneccesary files, oor old backups you didnt know existed

jagged ember
#

like i said earlier, there's a lot to learn about pc

foggy seal
#

so basically i got scammed out of 0 dollars

jagged ember
#

stoic island
#

this is how you use windirstat:

clear cradle
#

stoic island
#

📎 unknown.png
clear cradle
#

stark bramble
#

windirstat

jagged ember
#

damn

#

warthunder big

#

stoic island
#

down here, all of this is taken by my hoi4 mods, I should probably clean those up.

📎 unknown.png
#

etc etc

clear cradle
#

Windirstat 👍

stoic island
#

you look at what's taking a bunch of space

#

click on the thing

#

and find what it is

#

then you delete it

clear cradle
#

is that an SSD?

stoic island
#

ye

#

why?

clear cradle
#

stark bramble
#

how to clean up space: delete the drive

#

jagged ember
#

nah just remove it

stoic island
#

format it

jagged ember
#

from your system

stark bramble
#

doesnt formatting remove all data and repair the drive

stoic island
#

it removes everything

#

and writes 0s everywhere iirc

stark bramble
#

without taking into account IF latency

#

pure ram latency

little osprey
#

and is it better if you have less or more

stoic island
#

less

#

less latency is better lol

little osprey
#

g.skill

#

ripjaws

small osprey
#

Team mp34/ sn750

clear cradle
#

GALAX 240GB

#

Team CX

stoic island
#

what

clear cradle
#

Patriot Burst

stoic island
#

@clear cradle what

clear cradle
#

SSD Brand

stoic island
#

@clear cradle so first, which galax?

#

is it even a ssd?

#

None of the galax SSDs I can see have 240gb versions

clear cradle
stoic island
#

welp, it's obscure enough to not be on the ssd sheet

#

Team CX is too new for the SSD sheet to have information it seems

deep skiff
#

lmao hof ssd

stoic island
#

and Patriot Burst is dramless

jagged ember
#

who what when where why

deep skiff
#

does it have a ln2 pot

jagged ember
#

get that 5100mHz ram from corsair

stoic island
#

nachos, I wouldn't be that surprised

clear cradle
#

SSD for L😆 ow Budget

jagged ember
#

oh, we're not talking about ram

stoic island
#

@clear cradle and I would still not suggest any dramless ssd

#

I don't care how low the budget

#

I don't want you to have a "ssd" that is the same speed as a HDD

jagged ember
#

lol

clear cradle
#

lol

jagged ember
#

dramless means it'll slow down as you fill it up

stoic island
#

mhm

jagged ember
#

and it's longevity won't be as long as dram SSDs

stoic island
#

my MS30 feels the same as my HDD

#

my HDD might even be faster tbh

deep skiff
#

the 660p is dramless right

clear cradle
#

what about samsung SSD?

stoic island
#

660p should have dram

#

lemme see

jagged ember
#

samsung is probably overpriced?

stoic island
#

yea it does

jagged ember
#

worth a check

deep skiff
#

o it does nice

jagged ember
#

why not the mp34 or sx8200

stoic island
#

SX8200 pro

#

you gotta specify

jagged ember
#

Sn750 is probably higher priced

#

oh, right sorry

stoic island
#

sx8200 has like 3000/1700, sx8200 pro is 3500/3000

little osprey
#

mr111

#

ssd

#

reccoemendaton

#

stoic island
#

MP34, SN750, SX8200 pro 512gb

jagged ember
#

yep

stoic island
#

whichever is cheapest

jagged ember
#

done

little osprey
#

should i get a ssd for windows and hdd for games

#

or ssd for both

#

mr1111

stoic island
#

depends on budget

#

iirc you have 800$ budget

clear cradle
#

I used SSD for system

stoic island
#

sooo I'd start off with a 512gb SSD, then add in a 50$ 2tb HDD later.

little osprey
#

ok

clear cradle
#

HDD for storage

little osprey
#

how much space does windows take up

#

?

stoic island
#

like 50gb

clear cradle
#

50 GB

stoic island
#

it's somewhere below 80gb

little osprey
#

between the 2

#

@stoic island

stoic island
#

the heatsink

#

the GPU itself is the same

the heatsink shroud is the difference

#

@little osprey maybe slight differences in performance. a fraction of a percent. whatever is cheaper, go for

vague maple
#

@tender heron come here

tender heron
#

Yoz

vague maple
#

you don't care about color, you have a 100 dollar ram max and you want to get RGB

#

is that right?

tender heron
#

Ya

vague maple
#

ok

#

You can go with the vengeance rgb pro as well if you want, that's usually found under 100

#

and you can sometimes find the trident z for under 100 as well

tender heron
#

Aight

#

Trident z better?

#

@vague maple

vague maple
#

no, at that point it's pretty much looks preference

tender heron
#

Aight

#

Cl 16 is better than 18 right

#

@vague maple

vague maple
#

yeah

#

lower is better for cl

tender heron
#

Aight

#

So 3200 CL16 is the same as 3600 CL18

#

I might get 3600 cl18

jagged ember
#

It's not exactly the same

#

3600 cl18 would still be my choice tho

Hi all,
I made two builds with same context. AMD and Intel, in case AMD won't deliver promised perfomance I will go blue team.
https://il.pcpartpicker.com/user/des/saved/4kZd99 and https://il.pcpartpicker.com/user/des/saved/7RRC6h

all that is not purchased yet will be bought from newegg except CPU cooler and PC case, because shipping cost is too damn high for those.

My question is on PC case. Im not really expert and its my first build. I like two huge fans on front and price is very cheap for features it provides, should I settle with nx800 or go H500 from CM , which is significantly pricier? its relevant for both builds.
of course feel free to note on other components as well.

Ryzen 7 5800x and RTX 3080 FE build for Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p
i7-10700K and RX 3080 FE gamer build for Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p
little osprey
#

Any good builds for a 1080p 165hz monitor?

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey no builds on hand, but look at 1660 super/ti with a 5600x

#

if you have a higher budget, go for RTX

#

what's the budget

little osprey
#

$1500-$1700

arctic jungle
#

oh wow

#

ok

#

3080 and i7 or r7

tender heron
#

Does b450 not support above 3200???

arctic jungle
#

i'll make a build gib one min

little osprey
#

3080 for 1080p?

#

Ight thanks

tender heron
#

Overkill but ya

arctic jungle
little osprey
#

Would a 3070 be sufficient?

#

guys should i ban myself

#

rn?

tender heron
#

Just enable xmp right

foggy hazel
little osprey
#

not a joke

foggy hazel
#

@tender heron basically yes

arctic jungle
#

3080 for 1080p?
@little osprey well I mean- it is overkill but if you have the budget and wanna play games like fs2020 or with RTX...

foggy hazel
little osprey
#

guys should i ban myself react with yes or no to vote

tender heron
#

Aight

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey can u not meme here

gritty zenith
#

still for general chat

little osprey
#

Yea I guess so so maybe

arctic jungle
#

@tender heron I recomend getting a 3070 to save money, but if that isn't ur thing, 3080 is all the way :)

#

bc a 3070 is more than enough

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey you have previously asked for help. respect it when others are being helped.

little osprey
#

i went to general

arctic jungle
#

ok

#

bye

#

@little osprey listen- do you have a total budget for all peripherals, monitor, keyboard/mouse etc? for your budget, 1080p 165hz isn't too great. I reccomend 2k 144hz.

little osprey
#

I have everything I need except my pc basically

twin bay
#

ok shoot i didn't know there was one

#

my bad

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey I reccomend 3070 with a 5 or 7 processor

foggy hazel
#

@arctic jungle 2k <- is not a name for a resolution. So please use the 1080p/1440p etc etc variants instead. It helps cut down on confusion.

arctic jungle
#

k

#

2k is 1440p but sounds better xD

#

but yeah

little osprey
#

Is there really that much of a visual difference between 1080p and 1440p?

jagged ember
#

Yep

#

It's a definite step up

Something not too overkill

ebon summit

Is this good for 720p streams

#

60 fps

vague maple
#

are you willing to buy used or only new

hearty shuttle
#

Only new

vague maple
#

don't buy a prebuilt kuzma

#

ok

ebon summit
#

Im not building my own sadly

#

I just dont wanna deal with it

vague maple
#

it's not that difficult

ebon summit
#

Right but I want a prebuilt

hearty shuttle
#

But cable management will be hard

vague maple
#

ok then, it's your money

hearty shuttle
#

Really depends on the person

ebon summit
#

Exactly?

vague maple
#

at 200 dollars, you can get a 1660

desert gulch
#

Kuzma what is budget?

Thats why i thought the next was fine

hearty shuttle
#

It will really help

desert gulch
#

There was a system on a hot deal

vague maple
#

if you wait till the 3000 series fully release, you might be able to snatch a 2060 for 200

hearty shuttle
#

2060 for 200?

#

Nice

desert gulch
#

Imma go find it and post link

vague maple
#

it's POSSIBLE

desert gulch
#

Not likely

hearty shuttle
#

I mean rx5600 is a good option ye?

#

For 300 bucks

vague maple
#

after the 3000 series drops

#

if you're looking at 300 bucks

#

then 2060

#

simple as that lol

#

for 200, its 1660, 300 2060/1660 super

hearty shuttle
#

U guys play league??

#

Or warfrane

vague maple
#

nah

#

nah

hearty shuttle
#

Its the only games I play

#

Which js why I dont really need the best graphics

vague maple
#

pretty sure you don't need a better gpu then lol

hearty shuttle
#

Ye

#

But my fan died

vague maple
#

oh

hearty shuttle
#

Msi 980ti

vague maple
#

in that case i would recommend you a 1660

hearty shuttle
#

I bought for 20 percent off

#

When 1080ti released

vague maple
#

great value and will allow you to play any game maxed out 60 fps 1080p

#

nice

hearty shuttle
#

Sure

#

Maybe ill wait for a 20 percent off

vague maple
#

yeah that might happen

hearty shuttle
#

On the 1660

#

They did this once

vague maple
#

doubt it will happen on the 1660

#

maybe the 1080 and 2080

hearty shuttle
#

I agree

#

But the thing is

#

I have a nzxt 210

vague maple
#

mhmm

hearty shuttle
#

So ill see

#

The airflow sucks

#

On the gpu

vague maple
#

ah

desert gulch
#

O

vague maple
#

you could upgrade your case

hearty shuttle
#

Never

vague maple
#

to a really good one for like 60 bucks

#

ok never then

hearty shuttle
#

My dad gave me that as a gift

vague maple
#

ah

hearty shuttle
#

Its special

#

ok

Greetings to you all, new here... looking for a hi-mid-low recommendation for a desktop for a professional music recording studio

desert gulch
#

I'd help but I have no expertise in that area

little osprey
#

how many wats does a 3080 take up

desert gulch
#

It has a 320 watt rating

little osprey
#

ok thanks

desert gulch
#

Yup

vague maple
#

I'd help but I have no expertise in that area
@desert gulch same

sullen spoke
#

I think someone actually made pc for that stuff

#

@buoyant aurora you know about pc for studio at all? Sorry for ping

gritty zenith
#

as far as i know, they require good multi threaded cpu too, just like any other workstation, not sure about gpu, but i know a hifi audio card is necessary

#

also a good pair of reference headphones

#

if you don't want to go too expensive with those sennheiser hd650s should b good

sullen spoke
#

Most people use external interfaces, that depends if you have already or budget largely

gritty zenith
#

well yeah

#

i was just talkin bout strictly for pc lol

#

external dacs are much better from my understanding just didn't know what was wanted

#

i think 32gb of ram should be good for that too

sullen spoke
#

ye maybe more cpu compute and ram good, i think i had some ram issue with large projects on 16gb

gritty zenith
#

ye

#

assuming a video card isn't too important, id personally settle for a lower end one like say an rx 5500xt or 5600xt and put the budget that would be towards a video card into a dac and set of studio headphones

normal sky
#

Thank you for the feedback, so maybe a mid-level gaming machine as the video card wouldn't really be a priority

gritty zenith
#

i wouldn't think so, i mean yes a video card is necessary for a PC 90% of the time, but in this situation id focus more towards cpu cores and ram, as well as a really good DAC and pair of studio headphones

foggy hazel
#

@gritty zenith , @sullen spoke keep in mind the following: @normal sky without knowing more about your actual stack and what you define as a "professional music recording studio", it is quite difficult to help you in any actually logical way.

#

please keep in mind, we only know what you tell us about your requirements

sullen spoke
#

this is true

#

List what you have already, what you need, what exactly you are doing, or maybe software you use.

#

i about to loose service peepoSadSip

foggy hazel
#

that fits with the loose marbles

buoyant aurora
#

@sullen spoke I should be able to help, whats up?

foggy hazel
#

we dont know yet.

#

since the person asking for help has not elaborated

gritty zenith
#

yeah

#

i was just giving general suggestions

#

impossible to give specifics without specifics

crisp bolt
#

Hello Everyone. Hope all are doing well

#

is it a good time to build a new PC? AMD

desert gulch
#

uh budget?

#

new amd cpus and gpus are coming out very soon

#

but cheapest new amd cpu will be 300$ iirc

gritty zenith
#

right now amd cpus are overpriced imo

#

id wait for ryzen 5000

#

the value is insane

#

ryzen 5 5600x > i5-10600k? like take my money

stoic island
#

@crisp bolt what budget?

crisp bolt
#

uh budget?
@desert gulch
@crisp bolt what budget?
@stoic island 3K

desert gulch
#

ok

#

yeah id wait for new amd stuff

stoic island
#

Wait like 5 days and come back

crisp bolt
#

Im inclining towards the new AMD gpu

stoic island
#

For that reason

crisp bolt
#

For that reason
@stoic island okk...hopefully we will have enough in stock

#

what about GPU...AMD or NVIDIA?

stoic island
#

We don't even know real specs of the AMD GPUs yet so I'd wait for that announcement lol

desert gulch
#

yes

stoic island
#

For what workloads?

desert gulch
#

they announce specs i believe in 2 days

#

they are going to have a livestream on the 28th

crisp bolt
#

For what workloads?
@stoic island gaming, 4k edits and 4d renderings

stoic island
#

So yea good cpu and gpu, I'd wait for announcement of AMD GPUs first

crisp bolt
#

ok 👍

#

thank youu

stoic island
#

And then Nov 4th should be when reviewers are allowed to give benchmarks for Zen 3 chips.

crisp bolt
#

ive been waiting to build from like 4-5 months but waiting for this and that has delayed it. hoping for the best

quick compass
stoic island
#

Well, should be just another week for enough info to make preliminary judgements, and then another probably 3 weeks until AMD GPUs come out with reviewer benchmarks

desert gulch
#

one things @quick compass

#

dont pay 100 dollars for windowsd

stoic island
#

@quick compass when building?

desert gulch
#

you can get a key for a couple bucks on ebay

quick compass
#

don't know when 3080 comes back in stock

crisp bolt
#

Well, should be just another week for enough info to make preliminary judgements, and then another probably 3 weeks until AMD GPUs come out with reviewer benchmarks
@stoic island understoof

quick compass
#

really ?

#

but I also take the risk of getting scammed

desert gulch
#

nope

stoic island
#

When are you building?

desert gulch
#

ebay has buyer protection

quick compass
#

probably next month

stoic island
#

eBay buyers protection is surprisingly good

quick compass
#

or two months later

desert gulch
#

yes

stoic island
#

Yea then wait to make a final list

quick compass
#

depends when 3080 comes back in stock

desert gulch
#

and its only a couple bucks for a key

stoic island
#

AMD next gen CPUs and GPUs

quick compass
#

ik

#

but i'm talking about compatibility

stoic island
#

At least wait for CPU before making a final list.

quick compass
#

okay

stoic island
#

Well, there's some other stuff I like to address other than compatibility.

#

Budget allocation wise

quick compass
#

since my birthday is coming up I was deciding whether I should build a pc or not.

#

that's why I was thinking about it

crisp bolt
#

since my birthday is coming up I was deciding whether I should build a pc or not.
@quick compass its my bday aswell next month

quick compass
#

no it is on halloween

#

literally

wild briar
#

Can anyone help me

quick compass
#

yes?

woeful phoenix
#

si senior

stoic island
#

I'm back

dim widget
#

aye i need 3080/3090

stoic island
#

@quick compass I'll make a 2500$ list that's performance based and with Zen 3 msrp prices for reference

dim widget
#

u know anywhre that selll 1 and is not out of stock?

stoic island
#

no

dim widget
#

damn

quick compass
#

@stoic island Really?

stoic island
quick compass
#

@stoic island Thank you

stoic island
#

forgot the HDD but other than that it should basically match your previous list.

quick compass
#

yea

stoic island
#

And by the way, the Freezer ii is a godly aio, that 240mm aio can beat even some 360mm aios, especially in noise normalized perf.

#

I would put the freezer ii 360mm in there, but it's been out of stock for a bit.

quick compass
#

wait is it better than the nzxt kraken x63?

stoic island
#

and pcpartpicker has been really weird lately, a good amount of parts just won't show up

#

dunno if freezer ii 280mm is in stock, I'll take a look

quick compass
#

why is it better and at a good price

#

sometimes I don't understand why they do that

stoic island
#

it also has an interesting, while gimmicky, possibly useful VRM fan built onto the block

quick compass
#

hm

stoic island
#

and on the performance part, I'm just going to quote GN

quick compass
#

Oof

#

it beats it by little though

stoic island
#

this review was from like 6 months ago, and GN has been daily using the AIO for the past 6 months, you can still see it in their videos, and they haven't had issues with reliability so far.

📎 unknown.png
quick compass
#

does pcpartpicker also take account of the 3080 power delivery ?

stoic island
#

And on the "beats it by little though"

#

well uh

quick compass
#

Oof

stoic island
#

that's a huge margin when it comes to coolers, only a few Celsius separate the good from the bad

quick compass
#

your right

stoic island
#

and also, they do delta t measurements, so if your room is 30c, Freezer ii would keep the CPU at 82.4c, while X62 would keep it at 84.5c, and the crappy A500 would keep it at 91.3c.

quick compass
#

is there a difference when it comes to gskill and ballistix?

stoic island
#

and this time, model has a huge thing to do with it

quick compass
#

yea

stoic island
#

I'm 95% sure the ballistix has micron E die, far superior than DJR if you want to mess with OCing.

quick compass
#

can you simplify that

#

lol

stoic island
#

better if you want to run it faster

quick compass
#

okay

stoic island
#

and when they're like the same price, might as well get that headroom for like 1$ yaknow.

quick compass
#

sure

#

I've had this question for a long time but is faster storage really nessesarty

#

I mean when loading videos

#

and games

#

it's slow right now since I only have hdd

stoic island
#

Yes and No at the same time.

#

(I'm assuming you're talking 500mb/s on a SATA SSD vs 3000mb/s on a NVMe SSD)

quick compass
#

1000mb for ssd and 3000mb for hdd

stoic island
#

the difference really shows when you get large files, but daily use of just launching up some lightweight games, doesn't really matter between 500mb/s and 3000mb/s, because think about it, it likely only loads a few hundred mbs of data at once.

#

@quick compass uhhh..?

quick compass
#

I wrote it wrong

#

but it's okay

#

yea i get it

stoic island
#

I would love to see a 3000mb/s HDD lol

#

it's gotta run at like 80000rpm

#

anyways

quick compass
#

for windows I think I could shave off like 80 dollars off the normal price

stoic island
#

say editing 4k raw footage, it's quite likely you can get a noticeable difference between SATA and NVMe

#

Mhm, other websites that might be considered as sketchy

quick compass
#

ik

#

I don't trust them

stoic island
quick compass
#

ebay is a big risk too though

stoic island
#

Ebay has seriously good buyer's protection, and it's just 5$ a piece

#

not a risk on ebay

quick compass
#

wait

zealous venture
#

Someone knows how to activate the RAM memory slots through the BIOS, I have 2 slots that do not work. I have an Aorus Elite Wifi motherboard. Thanks for your time

stoic island
#

buyer's protection is really really damn good

quick compass
#

buyers protection

stoic island
#

@zealous venture usually ram slots not working means hardware issue, there's no way to disable them by software.
