wait
so they give you back your money and at the same time they will ship you a original one ?
I get it
if they don't respond and give you chance to send it back in 3 days, ebay looks at it, and gives you money
if they do respond they refund your money back
@stoic island I bought the motherboard here in this newegg store and bought them refurbished. It means that the store sold it to me with that problem.
pretty sure
@zealous venture Mhm, then work backwards and contact Newegg for a return, or whichever 3rd party seller you bought from.
refurbished doesn't always mean it is always working properly
If you are sure the ram slot isn't working.
this applies to anything
@quick compass Refurb means it's working, with a few minor 'acceptable' defects.
eh, it should
whatever
for custom parts no
:P
bruh
but costs
tooooooo much
i think theres a x570 tomahawk
like bro
they look very nice
unify ?
it's nice looking
i've been trying to search for a good looking motherboard and enough usb ports
like 30000 billion
not jki
jk
not joking
mr1 they make pcie usb cards right?
I mean it has 8 usb ports on rear io
if you really need that many ports
what do you do that takes all of them
yea but is is scattered all over the place
on rear io
and wireless headphones
yes
the usb thingy
that probably cost an extra $100
@quick compass it has 8 USB ports on rear io, 2 internal 3.0 headers, 1 internal 3.1 header.
what else do you need >:P
Like I'm serious what else are you going to plug in
all you need is ONE usb type c
internal 3.1 means usb type c for front panel
and then you connect a usb c hub
lol
literally screw having any usb type As on the back
smh
just 1 usb c
i'm not making my setup cables a hot mess
usb c hub
?
ez
I'm confused on why you need more USB ports
and how other motherboards are different
bro I look at the back of my pc and I just see a usb c hub dangling
I'm really confused on that
because every motherboard looks something like that
preferecne
@quick compass
usb c hub goes on ya desk dummy -.-
I'm still seriously concerned what your issue is with Unify >:P
Oof
usb c hubs look clean af imo if you just put it on your desk
or mount it to the side of your desk or behind it
like
u english what?
what games do you guys play if you play nay
No u play valorant

I know u do
imagine playing valorant
mald
first of all Paladins was in development before Overwatch
val, fortnite, csgo, among us, rocket league, netflix, google chrome, obs studio, tidal, minecraft, osu, doom, doom eternal, doom 64, and I have kindle
aim labs
Overwatch just lucky enough to have devs that care about the game lol
yes
my highscore in google chrome is 9gb ram
but it runs fortnite 240 fps fine
ew
mine is 16gb
Y NOT
poggers
and costs exactly the same price as a 240
only like what 6 grand
pog
AMD build pog
i wish there was 5700xt mini itx tho 
No clue what that means
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PfVxGq the only reason im getting a 1660 and a not so good psu is beacuse im planning to get a 3080 and a better psu so its basically a 3080 build
@ someone
o
@vital warren
super is usually lower
yup
get an itx super lol should be around $240
ye
its 300
but at that price ti aint horrible
1660 super right?
hm

instead of that 120mm aio, get an arctic liquid freezer ii 240mm for like 20 more
I changed cpu cooler
or air if you want
nh-d15 best air cooler
its kinda ugly
no u
gotem
don't insult my d15
sorry
lol
freezer 34 duo op
its presentable i guess
the thing is i want a aio
just two
ok
it comes wit 2
tbh u just need in and out fan
ok
better than what
the build
is there a specific reason u want intel
or u just dont want value lol
just a question
which ryzen should i get then
when do you want to build this thing
bc if you can hold off another like what 11 days then ryzen 5 5600x
ok
out performs the 10600k in gaming
could it still stream and record
yup
ok
ryzen is typically better in that category too as far as i know
cpu doesn't really matter for streaming when you have nvenc
tru
so should i stick wit the stock cooler from ryzen then
i mean
stock cooler works
whats a nvenc
^
your card will b doin the work
o
and if you need cooler suggestion on any budget i'd head over to #old-cooling
tbf the amd stock cooler looks clean af
or just prob upgrade it in the future
ok
i kinda feel like i should get more fans
^^^^
td500 mesh good
just take your time with cable management in the back of the td500
i have a really bad air flow case, tower atx with only 2 fan slots and almost no vents, yet still keep my stuff cool
don't underestimate the power of fans
but how many fans could i get to maximize airflow
3 front 1 back
more than that is arguable a waste
what about the top
I don't see it as necessary
aio or leave the top alone
ok
i mean tbh any more than 1 back 2 front you're looking at diminishing returns
obv that depends on how much ya fans cost u lol
as much as i love arctic i feel like that is overpriced
you'd be surprised
28 dollar in total
ok
Hi, so I have an old PC and I wanna but I don't what will it get me so here's the specs:
Radeon R9 Fury
i5-4670
Asrock Z87 Extream4
8GB RAM
500GB SSD
500GB HDD
750W Gigabyte PSU
How much will I get if I sell it ?
can someone help me out with something
shoot
Yep, go for it
Hello
crap
ig we were too late
I know
What happened
Oh lol
sorry i’m back
Can someone reccomend video links detailing the steps on what to do after building a pc. Im planning my first build and I believe i have videos covering the building aspect but i dont have the "after build" aspect such as the drivers that I need, or if I should update bios, etc
they live ❤️
@wooden lava search up what to do after building a pc on yt
basically i’m in the asrock bios and my 2tb seagate hdd shows up under storage configuration but when i go into windows i only see my 500gb ssd
Hey you guys wanna know something funny
my life hahah
@wooden lava we can point you towards things, but most of the "after build" is personal preference and optional
No my friend told me that his pc was not working so I asked him the specs and he told me that he doesn’t know because it was a prebuilt from cyberpower and when he did figure out the specs he has a 7 year old cpu in it and the gpu he is still trying to figure out
Only thing required is GPU drivers, and maybe some drivers listed on mobo website
basically i’m in the asrock bios and my 2tb seagate hdd shows up under storage configuration but when i go into windows i only see my 500gb ssd
@latent storm pls im running out of storage
this is what i see, i dont want to press the wrong button
Is pre built good I don’t know how to build it
Should I turn off my PC? It’s been like this for half an hour
alrighty now what?
Does it show up as unallocated now?
yes
do i just keep clicking through the new simple volume wizard
I think 2 clicks and then it'll ask if you want to format
And you'll want to format.
should i change any of this?
should i just like change it to hdd or something
Sure if you want
setup multiple libraries in steam
games with little loading screens
@latent storm use windirstat, see what's taking your space.
read it wrong
and in any other game clients that allow that too
And do what Naed says
I want to build a $500 gaming pc in America. I wanted it to be able to run 1440p games at 60 or more FPS. Do you think this is possible?
Not really
How bout $600
Medium settings 1440p60fps is doable with 600$
@thin meteor prebuilts are bad.
@stoic island my mom don’t trust me tho
Tight budget
Not at laptop rn
Prebuilts are a sin to society
@thin meteor then convince her
@stoic island bet
So you guys think a good price for the pc is $700.
O ok ryzen it is
Correct
I recommend the 5 3600 if you have enough money in your budget. I feel like it’s the best all rounder on the market for $200
Could someone look over this for me?
My friend asked for an around 2kish all around use case build
And this is what I sent them
I would take the money from the fans and put it toward more ssd storage.
good points ill fix fans/storage ratio
Honestly I’ve never seen the point in really expensive fans if they only serve as extra rgb
I get them being quiet or having more rpm but the rgb alone doesn’t make them worth that much
The only expensive fans worth it are the noctua a12 whatever u call them, i have them and they are amazing
Maybe get some silent wings fans, they're pretty good
Can't remember how much they cost tho
i have 6 of them they're worth it
oop lol
@stark tangle it's called knowing which ones are gen4 >:D
btw guys is there a way to select by gen 4 for ssds on pp
@stark tangle just look up a model
U just gotta know the name or sort the price
is it possible to get an OS without paying this much?
Windows 10 costs £10
cdkeys took it off last I checked
It's great for programming
Tbh, I prefer the ui
Otherwise not so great
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2dnbXb ok i redid the build with changes, is this better?
Even for an average user I think it can boost productivity
Gaming is coming alone nicely
@stark tangle CL 18 ram you can do better
OK yea that's true, but it doesn't take long to adjust, especially if u pick the right distro
what
that takes a while to get used to
Something like elementary is easy enough to transfer to at a basic level
Maybe, idrk
@stark tangle Why 140mm fans?
what's with the industrial fans
I don't exactly consider myself the average consumer
im used to microsoft so idk how to use linux
80% of the people that come around here come for gaming
I'm here for a lot of things lol
Yea but like Linux gaming is really coming along
It's pretty good
but does it have the it just works factor?
Designed in Austria, Noctua's premium cooling components are renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and thoroughgoing quality.
:D
@stark tangle anyways, industrial fans. higher cfm does not mean better.
you see that 3000RPM?
that's how it gets the airflow
those aren't for consumer cases
those are for server racks in a server room
What did you say? Can’t hear you over my server rack
what did you say?
Aahahaha
it's too loud
high rpm small fans aren't too bad
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HNNr68 ok more tweaks for the 2-2.5k build, fixed more stuff is it good now ? @night storm i squeezed in cl16 just for yu
Unfortunately jet blasts won’t cool it down
5k is pretty high tho
@stark tangle what you need gen4 for
@stark tangle P12 isn't meant to be a case fan
Don’t forget to remove the cl18 then
Unfortunately jet blasts won’t cool it down
@night storm but it will be really bloody cool
@stoic island why not since same price as gen 3 and its on an x570 might aswell
Not according to their website https://noctua.at/en/which_fan_is_right_for_me
Designed in Austria, Noctua's premium cooling components are renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and thoroughgoing quality.
I would really like to know
S12 or A12
350 for 2tb 970 evo plus 350 for the mp drive
is how im comparing ig
fast gen 3 vs gen 4
Gen 4 is a lot faster
in the words of lightning mcqueen, i am speed uwu
True but like
There's no difference otherwise
mhm
e
@stark tangle and right now, we're comparing a 210$ 2tb drive to a 360$ 2tb drive
no way
Man I paid $235 for that drive like two weeks ago
Hm idk
Ripp
anyway can someone just tell me a good exact model number of darn noctua to put into this build lol
NF-A12x25
for case fans
NF-GOODFAN69
A12 is good. You can also do NF-S12x25
but anyways
s12 is redux
quiet bois
but yea I actually have a nf-p12 as exhaust
For real tho
i opened windirstat and I don't know what I'm looking at
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T4nbXb i think it is complete now
amazon?
wtf
Fans are way too high
@stoic island I move my steam library onto my hard drive, should I delete the folder on my SSD?
you know you have games you'll want on your ssd sooo
@stoic island reason i did 3900 is cos they wanna build this rn
and you can't get 5xxx chips rn

i know but i now have two copies of my steam folder
Move the folder see if it breaks it
Then if it doesn’t you should be fine to delete it
@stoic island ty <3
But why not just get more ssd
alright so it copied over fine but do i delete the steam folder in my ssd then drag over the files of the games that i play?
think i'm still gonna do the pci-e 4.0 ssd bc that sounds good in terms of branding, and pick up asus mobo and corsair psu, bc the brands add that much more value
thx
Move the one you plan to delete before you delete it that way you can test if it makes your games not load. If the path it’s trying to use to start games is wrong.
That way if it isn’t working as planned you can put folder back
all my games still launch after copying the folder to my hard drive
so now how do i move over individual games/?
Properties -> Local Files -> Move Install Folder
thoughts on this build?
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nL7tgt
i dont see that tbh
In steam, not file explorer @latent storm
@latent storm you were NOT supposed to actually move the steam install folder
that was the suggested action
Steam has a simple guide to moving the installation
Article "Moving a Steam Installation and Games"
I haven't read up in the convo tho so that might not be the kind of moving they're trying to do 
Nah 3090 cant run fortnite on 100fps
yes but the 3090 isnt much more powerful than a 3080
id suggest getting a ryzen 5 5600x and a rtx 3070 or 3080 with 16gb of ram
that will absolutely get way more than 100fps
I play 1440p


im pretty sure its over 1000
you can tell the difference between a 60hz display and a 144hz display
trust me
yes
I have personally experienced it
i have a 144hz display
You're talking mad troll for someone within muting distance

Reason: Bad word usage
yea lol I know he was trolling from the moment he started saying most people cant handle 1080p 
go play fortnite on xbox kid
xbox cant even handle 144hz

lol makes another account to talk to himself
Sus

yeah but you dont have nitro
get rekt

I got it free scrub
2 seconds
I bought it with my hard earned money
kid
Reason: Bad word usage
yup
rip
xD

its fine for 1080p

1070 maxq
@lime forge could we have a clean sweep in here?
oh thats a nice one i got a zotac amp
ban some kids rq
fax
err this is not a chat for random topics
bruh
What is better mobo 450 or 520
@gaunt zinc since zach isnt here :p
@slim escarp you are talking about the b550 or b450?
No b520 and b450
whoever banned that dude thanks
b520 isnt that old?
mm
ty
i think b450 is better between them both
a520 you mean @little osprey ?
I know I’m building my first pc I wanna know what would be a better option
@foggy hazel true thank you
A520 idk he said that because I said b sry
the "problem" with that one is the pci-e 3.0 and IO in general
What one
a520
sorry for being late :P
missed ze fun
Impeccable
@slim escarp have you had any choices on the pc at all?
550
I’ve chosen a ryzen 3 3100 and a gtx 1650 super
Ps I don’t need a storage because my cousin has an extra 500gb ssd he is giving me for $20 so pretty much my budget is 530 without storage
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cJztgt
My friend is getting a pc and this is the list I made for her, thoughts on it?
Budget around 1300
Why a wireless card with a wifi board?
What's the monitor? 1440p@144Hz?
for 1300 you can squeeze in a 3080
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zRGr68 something like this I guess
Isn't that power supply cutting it a bit close
my pc has a current memory DDR4 at 2666MHz Dual Channel will this product you sell be compatible G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Model F4-2666C18D-64GVK
@vague stone we are not the customer service for newegg :)
ok sorry abou that thanks
but, if you tell us your mainboard we can help answer your question thou :)
well its a DELL g5 5990 gaming pc
no desktop version
hm
currently has this in it 32GB DDR4 at 2666MHz Dual Channel
aye, which is 2*16 sticks
IF you have 2 free slots in there
IF you have 4 slots total
you can just add 2 more sticks of 16
OR go with 2*32
in "theory" the 2*32 you listed should work
cool thanks Naed I was just worried I have so issue with the make and model I chose to buy off newegg
BUT, dell is not exactly super forthcoming with actual info :)
nah, in most cases, ram is ram :)
i hear you 🙂
and you are very welcome :)
cool thank you so much
:)
Yo @foggy hazel
I unplugged my power to hdd for today and its still doing thw glitch on the login screen
Is the montech x1 a good budget case
@coarse coral or someone, can you deal with that?
to start off :
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b7dKBc
If the motherboard says micro atx does that mean it will be big in a regular atx case
one is small
one is bigger
mATX fits in ATX cases
ATX fits in ATX cases
mATX fits in mATX cases
ATX does not fit in mATX cases
Should the mobo come with all the screws I need in order to install it
Yes, but ATX fits ON mATX cases
After all dont we buy cases to be a fancy pedestal?
@idle compass Usually that comes with your case
@idle compass Usually that comes with your case
@hazy rune Oh k ty
.
@sacred knot I didn't change much but the price tag is a little lower
That's just my take on the build, when it comes to the few things I changed
Or two things lol
last time i put this psu it gave me this note tho
The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair CX (2017) 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.
The 3600 shouldn't need an extra 4 pin, it's 65 watt TDP, which the first 4 pin supplies
so i shouldnt worry about it?
Noooooooo theo you ruined it
The one 4 pin supplies up to 120 watts I think? Not specific to the PSU but in general
btw if anything doesnt work out in the build, are parts returnable?
depends where you bought, and a lot of places charge a restock fee (NewEgg is 15% i believe)
The TDP of the 2060 is 160w, and with its 8 pin + the slot, a card can get up to 225w
so in simpler terms, its alright? the one u put?
@coarse coral I haven't watched Konosuba in awhile....
because?
thanks again mate
Yw
What's the label on the side of a psu that shows the voltages/wattages called?
I can't find it online lmao
Anyway it's sufficient
I'm gonna go eat dinner
Can someone make me a 1000$ build list
I don't have knowledge of anything that is with tech, but I am planning to buy a gaming setup. Can somebody at least tell what's a good deal?
@willow lichen how much you plan to spend and what you want to do with it
Me to and I can’t find someone to help me
Same but I want one so bad
Can relate
But ik for a gpu I will buy a rtx 2060
What's a good graphics card?
What do you plan to play
Then ya a rtx 2060 will suit you good
Thats great
They are about 300-370
How about a good monitor?
I’m buying a msi 144 hz that is 180
Nice
On everything I don’t want to go over 1500
No
yeah
i have a question tho
i5 10400 or ryzen 5 3600
im going for budget but im still going for the better chip
no
pardon
Stop picking something else
what/
U already have ur stuff
?
get better budget
ok then
what's ur budget gamerboicash
if i see another 1k build with a 2060 i'm gonna cry bruh
3070/ rx 5700xt or nothin
1300 aud
i have this and im trying to reduce
i would get a 3080 but im in Australia so its like $800
can any one recommend me a decent keyboard with Cherry MX - Speed or silver for competitive games in average 90~120$ on amazon ?
@proven knot alright that's fine 🙂
🙂
Hi guys do you know the difference of Trident Z and Trident Z neo? what to pick for amd build
@tender solar the trident z neo has whitish/silver and grey basically and the trident z is only grey
like brushed metal look
I have the trident Z neo
Is the evga w3 450w bad
@tender solar the trident z neo has whitish/silver and grey basically and the trident z is only grey
@ripe wedge Specs wise what to pick?
are they the same?
yeah they are about the same I believe but spec wise I chose 3600 C16
2x16
so I have 32gb
so I would pick the normal one?
Yea
whats your cpu
Is the evga w3 450 psu good or bad
Ryzen 5 3600
@slim escarp its a tier D psu so for cheap systems
@tender solar ah id suggest getting 3600mhz ram
amd prefers higher speed ram
Would it fit into a 550 dollar system or
Jake what tier is a cxm?
@slim escarp id suggest getting a CV450 then
its what I put in my brothers system and it runs fine
@tender solar ah id suggest getting 3600mhz ram
@ripe wedge Is T-Force any good? Same specs with G.Skill
No I would get the cv550 then because cv450 is 5 dollars cheaper that the 550
ah then get the cv550
I don’t even know why that is a thing but I’ll take it
@tender solar I mean im sure tforce is fine but gskill has lifetime warrantee
so if it dies on ya they will replace
I think
pretty sure
Ive posted this before it got some changes then I changed some things back. Is there any recommendations you would have on this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nXJYTJ
in hate how cheap it is
thats like $800 for me
Huh
im just jealous that its cheap for you
mmm whatev u say
Yup
Idk if this is the right place for this question but ROG AX11000 or Amplifi Alien
no idea
Yes but an optiplex looks ugly and wouldn’t the cpu bottleneck if I did that
Well I mean how much more perf would it get around
perf?
Performance
Performance
Idk I’ve spent like 100 dollars on a desk and a decent bit on the rest of the setup I just don’t want the pc to make the setup look bad
Oke
All I need it to do is stream games over 60fps
if it's a previous gen i7
Yeah
Yeah
Lol
And not everyone wants used parts
